Chapter 67: Bear bile green, ground stewed yellow
When I arrived at Mr. Cai's house, there was a small courtyard and three small tiled houses. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The courtyard door was open, and as soon as Lao Jin and Sun Zhongyuan entered, a woman in her thirties stepped forward, "Brother Jin, Houde is not at home." ”
"Brother and sister, I've found a good customer for Brother Houde, when will he come back?" Lao Jin smiled and took out two cans of canned food that he bought at the village commissary and handed them over.
Sun Zhongyuan thought to himself, it turns out that Mr. Cai's name is Cai Houde, and this name is quite exquisite.
"Brother Jin, why are you still buying things?" Mr. Cai's daughter-in-law was embarrassed, "He took the baby to catch fish!"
"Nothing, nothing, then let's wait!"
Teacher Cai's daughter-in-law moved over two Mazha, asked Lao Jin and Sun Zhongyuan to sit down, and then went to pour water again, but was stopped by Lao Jin. In the end, she handed Lao Jin and Sun Zhongyuan a washed little green radish, "You sit down for a while, I'll go to the house to see my mother." ”
Lao Jin put the radish in his hand, Sun Zhongyuan was not polite, said "thank you" and took a bite, slightly spicy and sweet, crisp and delicious, really good.
"Hey, Lao Jin, didn't I tell you, you can't see this thing because you can't see it?" After about ten minutes, Teacher Cai came back, followed by a seven or eight-year-old boy.
Teacher Cai was dressed a little shabby, and his body was relatively thin, but the little boy was tiger-headed, carrying a small plastic bucket, holding Teacher Cai's hand, his little face was flushed, and he smiled brightly.
"Did you catch a fish?" shouted to the little boy.
"No!" said the little boy, tilting his head.
"This kid is really promising, why are you happy that you didn't catch a fish?"
"My dad hasn't played with me for a long time!" the little boy said, putting down the small plastic bucket and putting his head against Mr. Cai's ribs, "I'll push your lungs!"
Teacher Cai scolded the little boy, "What nonsense, hurry up and see what work your mother has to do!"
After the little boy ran into the house, Sun Zhongyuan smiled and said, "Hello Mr. Cai, I am the buyer brought by Lao Jin, my name is Sun Zhongyuan, you can call me Xiao Sun." ”
"Little Sun?" Teacher Cai glanced at Sun Zhongyuan suspiciously, and then said to Lao Jin, "Since you are here, then you can wait a while." ”
After speaking, Mr. Cai entered the house.
When he came out, he was holding a shoe box with an old cloth wrapped in it, and when he opened the old cloth, it was a half-broken Yuge.
Sun Zhongyuan glanced at it a few times, and his heart suddenly cooled half!
This thing?
Although the year is old enough, it can indeed be called a high ancient jade, but it is a local jade species, and only half of it, which is put on the market, and thousands of pieces may not be easy to sell. Because although there is a vintage, the condition is too poor.
Lao Jin's face was a little embarrassed, "Teacher Cai, this ・・・・・・"
Teacher Cai said to Sun Zhongyuan, "I said that Lao Jin has no eyesight, not nonsense, nor hearsay, but let him see this jade Ge first." He said it was from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!"
Only then did Sun Zhongyuan understand that what Mr. Cai was going to sell was not this broken jade!
This old Jin didn't see it, and he was a bit of a chicken thief, how could he break the dynasty like this? The gap between the jade artifacts of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period was huge! He wanted to expand the scope of the era as much as possible. However, it is not certain that it will be bigger!
"Lao Jin, the Yuge of the Spring and Autumn Period is like this, and the Yuge of the Warring States is like this!" Sun Zhongyuan said as he stretched out his finger and gestured at the Yuge in the shoebox, "So, this one is neither the Spring and Autumn Period nor the Warring States Period, it is the Western Zhou Dynasty!"
Teacher Cai's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Little Sun, no, Teacher Sun, are you really here to collect jade?"
Sun Zhongyuan smiled, "The jade that Mr. Cai wants to sell, could it be that it is also from the Western Zhou Dynasty?"
"Yes! Yes!" Teacher Cai said, "I came across it when I was in the market ten years ago, a stall selling old weighing rods and old cigarette sticks, no one in the countryside knows it, and I didn't spend a lot of money!
When Sun Zhongyuan heard this, he said in his heart that this Teacher Cai is really an honest man, how can he reveal his bottom before he talks about business, and he said that he didn't spend a lot of money?
However, since he was an honest man, Sun Zhongyuan asked directly: "Teacher Cai, I see that you have a lot of research on Gu Yu! Why did you only accept this time?"
"You wait!" Teacher Cai hugged the shoebox and ran back to the house.
When he came out, he was holding a wooden box, although it was ordinary jujube wood, but the oil was shiny.
"I don't have any research? I just like the simple lines and simple feeling of Gao Guyu! And I'm purely on paper, I read a lot of books and pictures, and I only went to the museum a few times. Besides, my economic conditions don't allow it, and it's enough to have a favorite thing to enjoy!"
After Mr. Cai finished speaking, a faint sadness crossed his eyes. This so-called beloved thing for a lifetime is now going to be sold!
"Is the old man okay?" Sun Zhongyuan was not in a hurry to see the contents of the wooden box.
"The doctor said that as long as the operation goes well, there will be a six-month conditioning period, and then it will be cured. My mother is only sixty years old this year, and if she doesn't get sick, she will still work in the field!" Teacher Cai responded, "It's okay, anyway, that Yuge can't be sold for a few dollars, and I still have something to enjoy and play." ”
"Okay, let's take a look at things first!" Sun Zhongyuan said, took the wooden box, and opened it.
Bear bile green, ground stewed yellow!
What a good thing!
This Western Zhou jade cong is made of green jade. The diameter is about ten centimeters, the height is about seven or eight centimeters, the inner circle is outside the square, the middle is a huge perforation, on the four corners of the protrusion, each has a human face pattern, the combination of line carving and bas-relief, clean, crisp and beautiful.
The jade color is a typical bear bile blue, as the name suggests, just like the color of bear bile. This color, also known as Zhou Qing, has many fans, including Emperor Qianlong, who loved jade and became obsessed.
On the top of the jade, there is only one kind of color, which is mottled into several pieces, and the color is golden, which is called a beautiful one! This kind of color is buried in the deep soil layer and "stewed" out, and there is no one for 2,000 years, and this effect cannot be produced. There are some people in the line who specialize in playing with ancient jade, which is called braised yellow.
"Superb!" Sun Zhongyuan couldn't hold back his praise.
Teacher Cai's eyes revealed a complicated look, "Teacher Sun, you said, 300,000 yuan, how much? Originally, my mother's surgery and conditioning didn't cost so much, but since it was done, the price must be worthy of the thing itself." ”
"Teacher Cai, how do you estimate the price?" Sun Zhongyuan couldn't help asking.
300,000? If this thing is put on auction, 3 million is ruthless!
