Chapter 1127 Confucius Temple

……

Needless to say, the antique handicraft market has many similarities with the glaze factory in the capital. There are more than 20 professional art institutions, mainly selling antiques and modern handicrafts.

The antique city is located in the Confucius Temple Zhanyuan Road, is a professional antique market built by Jinling City, hundreds of merchants gather here, sales include ceramics, calligraphy and painting, jade, bronze, ancient coins, ancient furniture, bamboo, wood and tooth carvings and almost all the antiques you can imagine!

The huge scale makes Confucius Temple Antique City not only famous in Jinling area, but even in the entire East China region is a leading large-scale antique trading market. And the branch of Rong Bao Zhai in the capital, as well as the Jiangsu Branch of the Chinese Artists Association, are also on duty in the antique city!

The remaining Taobao market, currently the largest antique exchange market in the archway of Confucius Temple, is located in the northeast of the antique city, there are more than 100 antiques and handicraft shops on the ground floor and the third floor of the Taobao market, operating tens of thousands of antiques, calligraphy and paintings and handicrafts, thousands of people patronize every day, which can be called "the door of the city".

Therefore, Liu Dong has long been yearning for the Confucius Temple!

And this place does not live up to his expectations, just from the street, you can see the window full of all kinds of antiques, as well as the building hanging a variety of pavilions, floors, Zhai, Xuan and other signs, the prosperity of the antique trade, can be seen!

"Xiaodong, come with me to the antique city to get some things, and then let's go shopping together, how about it?" After parking the car on the side of the road, Fu Kun asked.

"Okay, no problem!"

The day is a long one. Liu Dong didn't worry that he didn't have time to go shopping in the antique street. So the promise was very simple!

"Then let's go. It's only there in two or three minutes! ”

With that, the two stepped out of the car. After locking the car door, I walked along the street for dozens of meters to the east gate of the antique city. Under the leadership of Fu Kun and Lao Ma, the two took the elevator to the third floor.

The space on the third floor is quite similar to many large shopping malls, but the difference is only that the stores of different sizes sell not daily necessities for food and clothing, but antiques and artworks that are difficult to distinguish between real and fake!

"This is it!" After leading Liu Dong around the passage for a few turns, the two stopped in front of a storefront.

"Zhujia Copper Workshop! No wonder there are so many bronze sculptures inside? After glancing at the plaque on the side of the entrance door. Liu Dong said with a smile.

"Hehe, this is indeed a bronze sculpture! However, the bronze carving here is not ordinary, in the entire Jinling City, I am afraid that there is no better bronze carving master than here! ”

"That's amazing!" Liu Dong was surprised.

"Go in and see, and you'll know I'm right!"

"Then I'm really going to see it!"

After the words fell, Liu Dong followed Fu Kun and walked in.

After coming in, Liu Dong naturally looked around. The layout is somewhat similar to that of most antique shops, with the shelves around it filled with various brass sculptures, except for the counter at the entrance. There are Buddha statues, stupas. Secular figures, even copper engravings. And it is indeed as Fu Kun said, the skills are exquisite!

"Sure enough!" After Liu Dong looked at it, he nodded and muttered to himself.

"Of course, I'm always telling the truth!" As soon as the words fell, Fu Kun shouted inside, "Copper head, it's time for business!" ”

"The surname is Fu, if you bastard give me a nickname again, be careful that Lao Tzu beats you!" As he spoke, a tall, square-faced, and head-looking one size larger than ordinary walked out of the inner room.

The man was wearing a green cloth suit like work clothes, the gloves on his hands had not been taken off, and even a few drops of copper solution were stained on his clothes, obviously he was still busy with his work just now!

"Hehe, Junzi, I forgot by mistake for a while, forgive more, forgive more! Absolutely not next time, I promise you! After snorting, Fu Kun strode up to meet him.

"I've said this sentence countless times since I knew you, and as a result, my ears are calloused, you bastard is still doing your own thing!" The man who is called the son of the army is unmoved.

However, from the words of the two of them, although they were full of impulse, but did not have much real anger, Liu Dong understood the intimacy of their relationship.

"Hey, I still have friends here, save me some face!"

Hearing the deliberately suppressed voice of his old friend, Zhu Jun's eyes shifted to Liu Dong behind him, "Hello, my name is Zhu Jun!" ”

"Hello, I'm Liu Dong, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Liu Dong?" Zhu Jun frowned, he always felt that this name was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Therefore, it is natural to look at Liu Dong.

"I don't know, where is Mr. Liu from?"

"I'm from Shandong*Dong!" Liu Dong said immediately.

"Mountain * East people? Mr. Liu is in Shandong*dong, how can he get involved with this unreliable guy? ”

Zhu Jun's words fell, and Fu Kun next to him said unhappily: "Hey, what do you mean to be in harmony with me!" The two of us are the best of the younger generation in the domestic collecting industry, so why can't we make friends together! ”

"Collection? I remember! After Zhu Jun slapped his face suddenly, he pointed at Liu Dong in surprise and said with a bit of inquiry, "You are Liu Dong, the Liu Dong who opened the Yuanming Museum?" ”

"Oh, Mr. Zhu knows me too?" Liu Dong said with some surprise.

I didn't expect that a person who made bronze sculptures in Jinling would also know himself?

"If you want to say that you know each other, you only know today. However, in the past two weeks, the news about Mr. Liu on TV and newspapers has been overwhelming! Especially the rare treasures in the Yuanming Museum under your name, even if I am in Jinling, I am like thunder! If it weren't for the fact that I have been working too much recently and can't spare time, I will definitely go to the capital in person and see the magic of the world-famous 'Yaochi Holy Realm', 'Nine Dragons Jade Cup', 'Shark Tears', 'Nine Qu Beads', and 'Dinosaur Amber'! Zhu Jun said with a little excitement.

At the same time, from the other party's words and demeanor, Liu Dong can also see that although the person in front of him is a bronze sculpture, he is also a person who is really obsessed with art!

"Hey, I said Junzi, you want to see the treasures of the Liu Dong Museum with your own eyes, and there will be time in the future. Now is it possible to move my bronze Guanyin out first, I'm still waiting to use it! ”

Seeing that the two of them were chatting without stopping, Fu Kun next to him couldn't help but speak.

"Your Guanyin has already been ready, wait, I'll move it out for you!" After Zhu Jun, who looked serious and a little reprimanded, finished speaking, he turned his head again and said to Liu Dong with a pleasant face, "Mr. Liu, please wait a moment, I'll come when I go!" ”

"Okay, Mr. Zhu, please!"

After Liu Dong nodded, Zhu Jun turned his head and glared at Fu Kun, then turned around and walked into the inner room.

"This guy, I grew up with him wearing open crotch pants since I was a child, and I've never seen him so kind to me!" Fu Kunyu was not angry.

"Okay, is it fun to show off in front of me?" Liu Dong didn't have a good airway.

Laughing and scolding between real friends is the real friendship, and to be polite, it is to strangers!

"Hehe, just talk!"

As soon as Fu Kun's cheap and obedient expression fell, he saw that Zhu Jun had gone and walked back, but at the same time as he walked back, he already had an extra statue of Guanyin with a height of about 45 centimeters, a golden brass casting, and a vivid and natural image of Guanyin!

Before Zhu Jun could put the Guanyin statue on the table, Fu Kun, whose eyes lit up, had already walked over.

"Junzi, you are really enough friends, this Guanyin statue is beautifully decorated, the treasure is solemn, and the face is full of compassion, it is really the best in the bronze carving!" After leaning over to look at it for a while, Fu Kun couldn't help but exclaim.

And Liu Dong, who came over to take a look at the back, couldn't help but nod when he heard this, although he didn't know how to carve copper, but he was good at wood carving and jade carving. Although the materials are different, it does not hinder Liu Dong's appreciation.

Judging from this bronze statue of Guanyin alone, Zhu Jun's level of bronze carving attainments has entered the threshold of the master! Although it is still far from the level of 'Giant', it is very rare to be able to reach this level in your early thirties!

If Liu Dong didn't have the help of the cheat of the relics Yuanguang himself, and purely relied on the progress of the accumulation of time, when he advanced to the master level in jade carving and wood carving, I am afraid that he would be like Zhu Jun, and it would only be possible at the age of thirty.

"Mr. Zhu's skills in bronze carving are really extraordinary!"

"Mr. Liu has won the award, and I am still far from the peak of bronze sculpture, and my current level is still far away!" Although Zhu Jun said this, there was inevitably a trace of pride on his face.

But the other party does have reason to be proud. There are not many calligraphers and painters who can advance to the master level at the age of 30.

"Mr. Zhu is too modest!" After a pause, Liu Dong glanced at the counter next to him, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhu's copper carving skills are superb, I also want to buy a copper sculpture in your store, I wonder if Mr. Zhu is willing to sell it to me?" ”

"Hehe, Mr. Liu is polite! My shop is open for business, accepting guests from all over the world, and making money from all over the world. Mr. Liu wants to buy bronze sculptures in my shop, which is naturally an honor for our store. There is absolutely no reason not to sell! Zhu Jun said with a smile.

"That's good!" After speaking, Liu Dong turned around and walked to the door, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the bronze three-legged golden toad on the counter and said: "I want to buy this 'three-legged golden toad with copper coins in my mouth', I hope Boss Zhu can cut love!" ”

"The phoenix is not a sycamore, the golden toad is not a wealthy land", the place where the three-legged golden toad lives, are the treasure of gathering wealth, the house is placed in the golden toad, there is a role of absorbing wealth, spitting money, gathering wealth, and town wealth, and it is the best mascot for doing business and the most prosperous fortune. The mouth of the beast holds two strings of copper coins, and the money spit out is prosperous, which means "attracting wealth and entering the treasure, a million profits"!

Therefore, Zhu Jun also placed such a golden toad in this store! (To be continued.) )
