Chapter 33 Literary Play
Early in the morning, on Dongcheng Street, Jiang Hua was pacing slowly with his hands behind his back, and his eyes swept over the ghost market stalls one by one from time to time.
There is food in his pocket, and he is not panicked, in addition to the money paid to Fang Zhong by Jiang Hua, there is still 70 million left, which is a huge amount of money, he has never had so much money in his two lives, so it is strange that he is not down-to-earth.
In addition to taking care of Bao Rong Zhai's accident these days, he came to the ghost market at four or five o'clock in the morning, there are not many good things in such a place, but those who play antiques know a truth, maybe when they will be picked up? There's nothing wrong with wandering around a little more, but being idle is idle anyway, isn't it?
There are many shopkeepers who do this on Dongcheng Street, and Jiang Hua met an acquaintance - Tan Qiang after a while.
"Boss Jiang, you ...... I'm here to visit the ghost market, too. ”
When Tan Qiang saw Jiang Hua, he was stunned and squeezed out a little embarrassed smile on his face.
"Hello, Boss Tan. Nothing to do, just go out and see if you can find something good. ”
Jiang Hua nodded lightly, when he wanted to sell the Qianlong enamel Fu Lushou bottle, Tan Qiang came to ask the price, and finally only willing 5 million, to be honest, the price was very cold, and he put on a face that fell into the well, but now he is not particularly angry, one is not only Tan Qiang who is doing this, but the other is also the nature of a businessman, but it is just ugly.
"Hehehe, Boss Jiang, that ...... I wish you a big leak today! ”
"Each other, each other!"
Jiang Hua arched his hand and continued to walk forward.
"Alas!"
Tan Qiang watched Jiang Hua disappear into the crowd and sighed.
Qianlong enamel Fu Lu Shou is a good thing for the bottle, Jiang Hua was short of money at the time, if he was not too greedy to only pay 5 million, he was willing to pay a little more, for example, 20 million or 30 million, maybe he would succeed, whether it was to keep the pressure box or sell it, double the profit.
Now that the news has come out, Jiang Hua has already paid Fang Zhong, which means that Jiang Hua doesn't know where to get a large amount of money, and Qianlong Enamel Fu Lushou is naturally impossible to make another move on the bottle.
"I'm afraid I'm far from alone."
Tan Qiang shook his head, and also turned around and continued to walk forward, although he knew that regret was useless, but every time he met Jiang Hua, he couldn't help but think of this matter.
Jiang Hua didn't care if Tan Qiang regretted it in his heart, after parting, he walked around for a long time, and he saw a lot of things, but none of them could catch his eye.
"Well, it's better to go for tea."
Raising his head to look at the sky, Jiang Hua turned around and walked towards the Longfu Teahouse on the street.
"Huh...... Is this a walnut? ”
When Jiang Hua was still twenty or thirty meters away from Longfu Teahouse, there was a group of people around the street, and he couldn't see what the stalls inside were arranged, but the familiar smell of green walnuts in the air immediately made him understand what was going on.
"The sun and the moon are spinning in the palm, time wants to go backwards, the blood is surging all over the body, and the year is white."
The five fingers of his right hand instinctively rubbed it, Jiang Hua smiled and shook his head gently, this is a poem written by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty in praise of playing with walnuts.
The walnuts here are naturally not the cotton walnuts that are eaten, but the pecans, which are also known as the walnuts.
Since ancient times, from emperors and generals to ordinary people, many people like to play walnuts, and the Ming and Qing dynasties have reached their peak.
For ordinary people, playing walnuts helps to keep the body healthy, which is called "hand therapy", and the folk saying "walnuts do not leave their hands, they can live eighty-nine, surpassing Qianlong Ye, and the king of Hades cannot leave", which refers to this thing.
However, for dignitaries and nobles, walnuts are elegant objects, and it is definitely a very face-saving thing to pair with a good walnut plate to be exquisitely clear and bright.
Before Jiang Hua crossed, he was a walnut expert, with more than a dozen walnuts in his hand that played very well and were well matched, and the best pair of "Nanjiang Stone" original tree lion heads were once willing to take a 100-square-meter house in the third ring of the capital in exchange.
There is a saying in the literary game that says that objects have price, but time is priceless.
Let's not talk about the kung fu that has to be like serving the master when playing, just those five years are incredible, and tens of millions can buy back five years of time?
Don't talk about a house, I don't want to change it if I give it a piece of gold.
The smell of green walnuts wafting in the air immediately hooked out the "gluttonous worms" in his stomach, where can he still take care of going to Longfu Teahouse to drink tea? It's the right thing to do to see if you can get a good pair of walnuts.
Squeezed into the crowd, Jiang Hua saw the stall clearly, and it was a big plastic sheet and a table, and the plastic sheet was piled with a hill-like green walnut, which was the way to play "open the skin", this is very simple, the person who bought it can pick it in the walnut pile at will, and the price was negotiated.
This is actually gambling, which is no different from gambling on the stone to open jadeite.
On the table were obviously walnuts of excellent quality picked out by the stall owner, large and round, all of them were matched, and the price was much more expensive than those on the plastic sheet.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... Everyone, authentic native tree wild walnuts, fifty yuan on the ground can be picked at will, the table is a little more expensive, five thousand a pair, don't say expensive, it's worth the price......"
Listening to the shouting with a Hebei accent, Jiang Hua was happy.
Before the crossing, he went to the mountains of Hebei many times to look for walnuts, but he didn't hear the shouting of this smell.
Cultural play refers to the four treasures of the study and the various stationery derived from it.
At the beginning, of course, it refers to pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and later, and they "match" the pen holder, pen wash, inkstone, arm rest, paperweight, printing box, etc., these things have different shapes, from the hands of famous artists are more carved and fine, can be used to enjoy play, so it is called composition play.
Later, all the ornamental pieces or handles with a bit of cultural flavor can be called cultural toys.
The world that Jiang Hua crossed over was the time when literary games were popular, not to mention all kinds of Bodhi Vajra, and many people even played with all kinds of bones - fish bones and bird bones can be figured out and played.
But in any case, walnuts will always occupy the most special position in cultural play.
Like other things, walnuts are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the best is of course more than 100 years old trees, in addition to the variety, look at the origin, to see whether it is a native wild tree.
Native wild trees are very important in the walnut "bloodline".
Native wild trees refer to walnut trees that grow naturally in the wild without artificial cultivation, and the walnut texture and texture grown from such trees can reach the best and withstand years of play, which is the same as wild ginseng is the best ginseng.
After the walnut became popular, there were many people who played, the market was in short supply, the yield of the native wild tree walnut was low, people took branches from the native wild tree for grafting, and planted new walnuts by artificial propagation, although such walnuts are similar to the native wild trees, the yield is large, the price is relatively low, and the needs of more people can be met.
However, the difference in the quality of walnuts grown from grafted trees and native wild trees makes people flock to native wild trees.
The stall owner emphasizes that his walnuts are native wild trees, which is to capture this psychology of people.
In fact, where do so many native wild trees come from?
There are few wild walnuts, and when the year is not good, there are not a few, and then there are fewer left, and there are more people who play, how can they "fall" to the street to sell?
Jiang Hua didn't look at the pile of walnuts on the plastic sheeting - these things were picked up by the stall owner, and it was more difficult to find good things from them than to climb to the sky, he looked at the walnuts that had already been matched on the table.
"This ...... How...... How can it be? ”
Jiang Hua's face changed suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost.
