Chapter 82: Flowers and Birds Exhibition
Getting rid of those two not very normal guys, Yang Fan took a part of the century-old tangerine peel and found Jia Lao.
"Well, I have a heart. This year's tangerine peel is rare!" Jia Lao also accepted it unceremoniously, and there was nothing wrong with accepting the gift of his disciple, but it was hypocritical to push it around.
Then, he checked some of Yang Fan's "homework", which were all about the contents of those books. He was very satisfied, and Yang Fan replied very specifically. It seems that he has almost eaten those books.
He was a little envious of his disciple's memory, and he couldn't be measured by ordinary people's thinking!
"What you learn from books needs to be applied to practice before you can be considered your own. I'm not worried about the accumulation of knowledge, if you have this memory, you can get twice the result with half the effort. And in practice, you have to be careful. In our business, it is very important to be serious, cautious and careful. A lot of things are just a millimeter apart, and you can't see it if you don't take it seriously. Jia Lao taught Yang Fan.
Yang Fan nodded instructively, his idea was to go out and walk around more and gain more knowledge.
After staying for a while, Jia Lao left, they old guys, there are many things to be busy with next. Jia Lao and Master Lone Lantern are in charge of the investigation in the south, the place is a bit big, and almost every province has to run for a few days.
Xu Ping didn't stay at home for long, left the money, and rushed back. When I go back, the main thing is to see my family and visit my condition.
His parents also slaughtered two chickens in the past two days, starting from the eighteenth generation of their ancestors, all the way to the gods and Buddhas. Seeing that their sons met noble people and had a bright future, it was worth their suffering.
That's right, the two didn't let their son rest at home for so long, cooked two meals for him, and hurried to work after eating, so as not to delay the affairs of other people's bosses.
The weekend passed like this, and Yang Fan asked Xu Ping to send a few girls to school, but he didn't follow.
Yesterday, Qi Lao invited him to visit the flower and bird exhibition. It is a traditional exhibition in Dengfeng City, with a variety of flowers, as well as rare birds.
It doesn't matter if you don't like flowers and birds, when the time comes, there must be some rockeries and the like, if you are lucky, you may encounter precious Taihu Lake stones, etc., which will not be much worse than antiques.
In addition, the development of the flower and bird exhibition has become not only an exhibition of flowers and birds, but also some paintings and handicrafts related to flowers and birds.
Qi Lao told Yang Fan that in the last year's Flower and Bird Exhibition, there was a guy who picked up a piece of "A Hundred Flowers Blooming", Qi Baishi's work, worth three or five million, which caused a sensation in the entire Flower and Bird Exhibition.
Qi Baishi is a famous Chinese painting painter in modern China, a master of Chinese painting art in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, he was a carpenter in his early years, and later made a living by selling paintings, he was good at painting flowers and birds, insects and fish, landscapes, and figures. It has reached the highest peak of modern Chinese flower and bird painting.
In fact, Qi Baishi is best known for painting shrimp.
With a few brushstrokes, the shades of ink are used to express a sense of movement. A pair of thick ink eyes, a little burnt ink in the middle of the head, and two light strokes on the left and right, so that the head of the shrimp is varied. The hard shell is transparent, from dark to light. The waist of the shrimp, one stroke at a time, several strokes in a row, forming the rhythm of the shrimp waist from thick to thin.
"Old Qi, long time no see!" Yang Fan said with a smile.
"Haha! I haven't seen you for a while, Xiao Fan, you are famous!" Qi Lao also laughed.
This young man, he has been very optimistic from the beginning. However, he didn't expect that he became famous so quickly, frequently picked up leaks, and found some amazing treasures, such as the Zodiac Holy Jade Plate, the Cold Moon Knife, the imitation and so on.
In the antique circle, his name has been very popular recently, and many people have heard of such a young man, and he has almost been promoted to one of the representatives of the younger generation.
Of course, there is the factor of Jia Lao, everyone gives face to Jia Lao. That's what it means, if you don't look at the face of the monk, look at the face of the Buddha.
Speaking of which, he still owes this kid a favor. If it weren't for him, it would be impossible for that piece of green cow inkstone to be found. Some time ago, people from the Guangdong Museum came to discuss with him, hoping that he could let this treasure and let the world's three great inkstones gather.
Of course, the other party also knew Qi Lao's family background, and he didn't dare to be strong, and he was ready to exchange another treasure, and the valuation would not be lower than that of Qingniu Yan.
However, Qi Lao still refused. He liked that inkstone so much.
These days, what he enjoys most is to stay in the study when he has free time, grinding ink and waving. Watching the green cow show up on the ground fragrant ink surface is a great treat.
Some time ago, there were many old guys who came to his house to admire Qingniu Yan with a cheeky face, and looking at their envious eyes, he was happy!
"Boss Huang's Cold Moon Knife, I also went to see it. It is worthy of being one of the top ten famous knives in history, and it is magical, no worse than my Qingniu inkstone. Qi Lao continued.
The main reason for the Qingniu inkstone is that the history is too short, and the fame is not as big as the top ten famous knives. In terms of the supernatural, both sides have to fight, and they are both top-notch treasures.
A few people exchanged pleasantries for a while and began to set off towards the flower and bird exhibition.
The Flower and Bird Exhibition has a traditional history of hundreds of years in Dengfeng City, and the participants in the exhibition are not only the flower and bird merchants of Dengfeng City, but also many people from other places.
The government also attaches great importance to this exhibition and has specially planned a place. It was an old street, several hundred meters, and on both sides were improvised scaffolding, divided into many small storefronts for those exhibitors.
At the front, there is a small plaza with a podium, surrounded by congratulatory banners and the like.
In the small square, there are also many exhibitions of flowers and birds, which can be regarded as a public exhibition area. The exhibits on display are not for sale and are only for viewing.
The so-called flower show is not only as simple as flowers, but also a lot of potted plants, stout pine trees, but only twenty or thirty centimeters high, a living miniature version of the welcome pine, has been praised to 300,000 plants.
A delicate orchid, with only three or five flowers, is called a ghost orchid, which is heavily protected.
This orchid is also peculiar, it has no leaves and does not grow on dirt, it rests only on a flattened green ribbon root, clinging to the trunk of another tree, and blooming white and strangely shaped flowers. When the wind blows gently, the petals sway with the wind, much like a ghost floating in mid-air.
It is said that the flower, as its name suggests, grows in damp and dark swamps, and produces pale and eerie flowers in the company of crocodiles.
With such a peculiar flower, Yang Fan couldn't help but take a few more looks, and heard that someone had already estimated it at more than two million.
On the side of the Strange Bird Exhibition, a blue imported parrot, named the blue variant yellow-necked Amazon parrot, was also touted for a sky-high price of more than 200,000 yuan.
All this made Yang Fan sigh that the market for flowers and birds is not small!
