Chapter 340: Eating can also pick up leaks
If this imitation Han Yujue was made by Yao Zongren, then 300,000 yuan would not be expensive. The craftsmanship of the famous artist is still different from the ordinary Qianlong antique jade.
It's just that this is just a very probable inference based on the word "benevolence".
There is no conclusive historical evidence to support this. Sun Zhongyuan also didn't hear of it, and there had been similar jade discoveries before.
In the market, it can only be valued by antique pieces from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. 300,000 is not very high, but for a person like Sun Zhongyuan, the meaning is not very big.
"It really can't be lower?" Sun Zhongyuan asked.
The stall owner didn't speak, but stretched out his hand and ticked it.
Sun Zhongyuan stood up, lit a cigarette, and did not speak again.
The price of this thing is 300,000 yuan, which is not low in the antique stall, and this stall owner may not be easy to sell. If it's a good shot, you don't have to wait until now. Therefore, even if you want to, you can give him a pinch and go first. Even, when I come back in a week, I might be able to meet again.
However, if Xu Beiwu wants to, Sun Zhongyuan will not stop him, because he will definitely not lose in terms of value. So, Sun Zhongyuan got up to smoke and stopped talking.
Xu Beiwu did not immediately hand Yu Jue to the stall owner, but was still thinking about the word "benevolence". His reaction was a little slower than Sun Zhongyuan's, but his face soon changed, and after a little hesitation, he returned Yu Jue to the stall owner.
Kuang Xiyin looked at it and understood, "Then let's go first?"
Sun Zhongyuan and Xu Beiwu nodded together, and the three left.
However, when the three of them left, the stall owner did not call them back, and it seems that for now, he does not want to give up this price.
Away from the stall, Xu Beiwu spoke, "Central Plains, did you think of Yao Zongren?"
"It's a big possibility. Sun Zhongyuan said, "Only a top jade craftsman like Yao Zongren can make such antique pieces." However, the market will not recognize the word 'benevolence'. ”
Xu Beiwu nodded, "When I'm old, my brain just spins slowly, and I always feel that something is sinking in it, and it takes me a long time to think of Yao Zongren." ”
"Master, if you really want to, you can give him a pull. He said it was Hanyu, but he put it on the stall, maybe he knew something. Sun Zhongyuan said again.
"No need. Xu Beiwu waved his hand, "I'm interested, I just think it's like Hanyu but it's shortcoming, if it's antique, I can't imagine how there can be such a master for a while?" Thinking of Yao Zongren, I can figure it out. The Yao family has been a jade worker for generations, especially the Han jade, which is reasonable. As for things, even if it's really Hanyu, I've handled a lot of it. ”
Indeed, at the point where Xu Beiwu came, it didn't matter if he took this jade or not, the most important thing was to solve his doubts and not be uncomfortable.
The three of them then walked through most of the market, and there was nothing else they were interested in.
Visiting antique stalls, in fact, is like this, or more time to return empty-handed. It's just that when you buy something, you often remember it deeply.
Without anything to look at, it was easy to feel tired, and the three of them arrived at a stone staircase, and simply sat down and rested for a while.
Kuang Xiyin lit a cigarette, "Zhongyuan, did your master tell you about his leak?"
"This is really not, he used to say, no matter where you go, don't save the heart of picking up leaks and messing up your mind. Sun Zhongyuan said with a smile.
"Your master picked up a leak, but I have seen it, I won't talk about it in the market, once I went to the suburbs with him to run errands, and on the way back, I ate at a small restaurant at noon, and he actually picked up a leak!"
When Sun Zhongyuan heard it, he could pick up the leaks when he ate!
Xu Beiwu smiled helplessly, but did not stop Kuang Xiyin from talking.
It turned out that it was the end of the eighties, and Sun Zhongyuan had not yet been born. In a small restaurant in the suburbs, the two sat down to eat, and Xu Beiwu suddenly found that a cloth curtain was hung on the small door between the dining room and the back kitchen.
The curtain is a little dirty, but you can vaguely see that the pattern seems to be a Buddha statue.
Xu Beiwu walked over, raised his hand to try the texture, and looked at the pattern carefully, knowing it in his heart.
While eating, Xu Beiwu added another dish and took the opportunity to chat with the shopkeeper. The owner of this shop is a middle-aged man with a smiling face and loves to chat. Xu Beiwu quickly led the topic to this curtain and said: You are quite clean in a restaurant, but the curtain at the back kitchen door does not look clean.
The shopkeeper said: "Wow, hanging on the kitchen door, smoky and oily, can it be clean?"
This curtain was originally from the old house of the shopkeeper's family, and I don't know what it was for, so it was placed in the pile of sundries, and then I came to this suburban scenic spot to open a restaurant, and I took it. The kitchen door is relatively narrow, and it is suitable to hang it as a curtain.
After eating, as soon as the bill was settled, twenty-three yuan. At that time, twenty-three yuan for a meal was really a lot, and the full set of roast duck in Quanjude was only more than twenty. This is also because Xu Beiwu later added an expensive dish.
Xu Beiwu gave him a hundred-yuan bill, not long after the hundred-yuan bill was issued, the shopkeeper took it and looked at it carefully, at this moment, Xu Beiwu said, "You can sell me that curtain." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he asked rhetorically, "It's just a rag, what do you want?"
"I'm in charge of props in the film studio, and I've been preparing some old things recently, and there aren't many old curtains on the market, isn't this catching up?"
"And how much can you charge?"
"So, make it up, and you can find me fifty!"
This meal is twenty-three yuan, and if the shopkeeper only asks Xu Beiwu for fifty, it will be twenty-seven yuan to buy this curtain. This kind of cloth curtain was in the market at that time, and it was very good to buy it for a few dollars.
The shopkeeper was overjoyed, "Your state-owned unit is good, you can also get some oil and water from it, right?"
Xu Beiwu smiled but didn't say anything, so he put away the curtain.
Leaving the small restaurant, Kuang Xiyin also knew that Bacheng had missed something, and hurriedly asked, "What is the curtain of cloth?"
Although he can also have eyesight, he doesn't know much about soft films, especially such special soft films.
"What kind of cloth curtain? This is a silk tapestry from the Qianlong period!" Xu Beiwu responded, "And it's a palace craft, maybe it's the emperor who rewarded it!"
Hearing Kuang Xiyin say this, Xu Beiwu interjected, "That tapestry was sold early, and it is worth more than this imitation Hanyu until now!"
After going back, after professional treatment, this silk tapestry revealed its original face, and the end was exquisite. At that time, it was sold for 30,000 yuan.
30,000 yuan is not much now, but at that time, it was really not a small number, and the key was too cheap, which was more than a thousand times the profit!
Even if Sun Zhongyuan had picked up a lot of leaks, he was still interested after hearing this, "Uncle Tiger, what else is there to pick up the leaks?"
