The guy first put the small package on the container, and then opened it layer by layer, and the first thing that caught Tang Feng's eye was an ancient paper wrapped in rough-edged paper. Tang Feng gently removed the seal of the ancient paper, and opened the raw edge paper, and inside was a neat stack of white ancient paper. Tang Feng unfolded one of them, this paper is more than one meter long, more than half a meter wide, according to the division of calligraphy and painting paper, it is four feet of paper, the paper of this paper is as white as jade, soft as cotton, there are lotus leaf lace at both ends of the paper, and there are cloud-like dark patterns in the middle.

Liu Yue pointed to the end of the paper and whispered to Tang Feng, "There is a dark mark here." ”

Tang Feng nodded and whispered, "I also have it here." The secret seal on Liu Yue's side reads the words "Shu Notes", and the secret seal on Tang Feng's side reads the words "Dafengtang Producer". Tang Feng took a closer look, the white color of this paper is not very dazzling, but it looks a little old, there is no impurity, the feel is smooth and even, it should be old paper.

Of course, the simple intuitive feeling that can be summed up in just a few words is not the basis for Tang Feng's conclusion, the conclusion is just a lightning bolt, and the process of energy accumulation is far longer than the result of bursting. It is said that it is ancient paper, in fact, it is not accurate, it should be the old paper, this is the famous Daqian paper during the Republic of China, the well-known calligraphers and painters at that time Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi and others all used this paper painting.

The Daqian paper itself is Zhang Daqian's excellent paper changed from the "Fan Lian History" paper in Jiajiang, Sichuan during the Anti-Japanese War, because this paper is developed and designed by Zhang Daqian throughout the process, so people named this paper Daqian paper. Tang Feng carefully counted the knife paper, and as he expected, it was 96 sheets, and each piece of Daqian paper at that time was 96 sheets. After counting the sheets, Tang Feng and Liu Yue glanced at each other, Liu Yue's eyes were full of excitement, and Tang Feng was also very happy in his heart, this thing was very valuable.

Don't think that ordinary paper is not worth much, this thing is a hot commodity, in the 2006 Spring Auction of Ancient Books and Periodicals in China Bookstore, two pieces of gold wax paper made in the Republic of China were sold for 2,200 yuan. In the 70s of the last century, Anhui Jingxian Xuan Paper Factory customized the "Shi Niu Tang" paper for the Chinese painting master Li Keran, the current market has reached the price of more than 100,000 yuan per knife, and the price of a piece of paper is more than 1,000 yuan, these market conditions indicate that the value of this knife paper will be more than 200,000 yuan.

The value of ancient paper is definitely not inflated, and its price is beyond the norm It is reasonable, because ancient paper is the original circumstantial evidence to identify the authenticity of famous paintings and calligraphy that are often millions of yuan. Moreover, ancient paper can also repair rare books and calligraphy and painting works of the same period.

Tang Feng suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and asked the man, "Where did you get this thing?"

The guy was a little nervous, and he said, "Don't ask about this, I swear, this thing is definitely obtained from legal sources." ”

Through the look and demeanor of the guy when he spoke, Tang Feng's heart suddenly brightened, whether it was legal or not, anyway, this thing came from the wrong way. Now Tang Feng is almost certain that this guy doesn't know what its true value is, because his eyesight is limited and he doesn't dare to give it to others for appraisal. He smiled and said, "Of course I believe you got it from legal sources, how did you sell it?"

The guy thought for a moment and said, "6,000 yuan." ”

Tang Feng didn't agree immediately, he frowned and said, "6,000 yuan is too expensive, how about 3,000 yuan?" It's not that Tang Feng is stingy, because there is one thing in the back, if Tang Feng agrees immediately, he will be slaughtered later.

Seeing that Tang Feng's counteroffer was also in thousands, the guy was secretly happy in his heart, and he said, "5,000 yuan is the least." ”

Tang Feng said in embarrassment: "I can get a maximum of 4,500 yuan." ”

The guy thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Deal." ”

Liu Yue took off Tang Feng's backpack and said to the guy, "Wait for the next thing to negotiate the price and pay the bill together, okay?"

"No problem. The guy said: "However, the price of the things in this box is not low, because this is Kangxi Gongmo." ”

Tang Feng secretly felt helpless, Daqian paper is produced every year, and it is easy for ordinary people to distinguish between new paper and old paper, but it is difficult to distinguish the difference between ancient paper and old paper. But Kangxi Gongmo is different, so I'm afraid that it will be difficult to get a missing price for the following box of Gongmo, and this guy is not stupid. He said: "You get what you pay for, as long as the things are good, the price is fine." ”

With the improvement of aesthetics, the later ancient ink gradually added pearls, jade shavings, borneol, musk and other precious medicinal materials, and then went through more than a dozen processes, and was made by pounding thousands of pestles. Therefore, most of the ancient ink is like black jade, fragrant and pleasant. Moreover, the high-end ancient ink also integrates the skills of many famous artists, integrating painting, seal carving and calligraphy, which is very expressive and infectious.

And because the themes of ancient ink involve landscapes, flowers, birds, insects and fish, emperors and generals, customs and folklore, etc., which can express the political, economic, and cultural life of the time from one side, so the ancient ink has become a collection of condensed history after thousands of years.

There are many types of ancient ink, and the most valuable ancient ink is imperial ink and rare ink. The highest auction record for Gumo occurred in:

At the end of 2007, a set of ten spindles of the Qing Dynasty Qianlong Imperial West Lake Ten Scenery Collection Ink Highlights Ink was 4.48 million yuan

The transaction was sold at a high price, with an average of nearly 500,000 yuan per ingot. This set of ink is both royal ink and treasure ink, so the value is so high.

Tang Feng opened the black lacquer box with the word "tribute ink" written on the side, which only contained a rectangular black ancient ink, the front of the ancient ink was engraved with a golden gold-gargling double dragon confrontation bead pattern, and the side side was written "Anhui Governor Li Chenglong Gongjin" several golden regular scripts, and left the "Kangxi Wuxu Year" inscription. Li Chenglong was the governor of Anhui from the 55th year of Kangxi to the 3rd year of Yongzheng, and as the parent official of the Huizhou region, this tribute ink should be Huimo.

Imperial ink is the ink used by the emperor, the Qing Dynasty imperial ink is divided into two categories, one is the ink made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the other is the tribute ink made by the feudal officials or ministers of the court at that time to the Mo family and paid tribute to the emperor, this ancient ink has obvious tribute ink characteristics. Since it is ink for the emperor, the quality is needless to say, it must be the best.

Tang Feng took this ingot of ancient ink in his hand and looked at it, this ingot of ancient ink looked very simple, the black was a little old and dark, and there was no problem with the color, which was the reason for the long-term erosion of the air.

Looking at the appearance again, the pattern is finely carved and delicate, and the font is rounded and implied vigorous, and there is no problem.

In the end, Tang Feng put the ancient ink on the end of his nose and smelled it, there was a faint ink fragrance, this fragrance was very soft, without any pungent taste, fragrant but not glamorous, and it really reached the antique expressive realm.

Tang Feng said to the guy: "It is indeed a tribute to ink, there is no doubt that during the Qing Dynasty, the annual spring tribute, longevity tribute and annual tribute will be tributed to ink, therefore, there is not a lot of tribute ink in the Qing Dynasty, you can make a price, if it is suitable, I will ask for it." ”
