Chapter 364: Bai Yu Shanzi

…… However, what surprised Liu Dong was that in this place of calligraphy and painting, most of the pens sold were pen, ink, paper, and inkstones for Chinese painting, as well as pen washes, pen holders, pen holders, rulers and other study utensils. On the other hand, there are very few shops that sell paints, pencils, drawing paper, canvas and other things commonly used in Western oil painting, watercolor, and drawing.

When Liu Dong almost brought this street less than 200 meters long to the end, he finally found one. It's easy to buy all the things you want. However, for these things, Liu Dong also spent more than 500 yuan, which can be regarded as a large purchase. Of course, there is a mustard seed space for him, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to take it.

Under the personal send-off of the boss, Liu Dong walked out with a snakeskin bag full of things.

In this heavy snakeskin bag, there are two aluminum alloy painting clips that can be stretched, a slightly heavy wooden easel, two hundred Marley brand sketch paper, two oil paints of each color, and the brand is also Marley's, originally Liu Dong wanted a better Windsor Newton, or Rembrandt, but there was no one for sale here. So I had to settle for the next best.

As for the frames, canvases, nail guns, blending oils, brushes and the like, Liu Dong still had useless mustard seed space, so he didn't buy them.

Walking out of the calligraphy and painting street, after seeing that there was no one around, Liu Dong's heart moved, and the snakeskin bag that he was originally carrying behind his back and the wooden easel sandwiched in the creaking nest were all transferred to the mustard seed space.

"Whew!" sighed lightly, Liu Dong secretly said in his heart, "It's better to be relaxed, since there is room for mustard seeds." I'm getting more and more dependent on it! I don't know if it's good or bad!"

After letting go of this problem that I can't figure out. Liu Dong was about to walk to the intersection and stop a car to go to the long-distance bus station. From there, take another bus to Songzi City.

However, as soon as Liu Dong walked to the intersection, he couldn't help but look at the corner on the left, where there was a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and a somewhat rustic dress squatting on the ground, and in front of him, a blue and white furoshiki was placed about the size of a laptop. The widest part of the Yushanzi is about 15 cm thick.

The so-called Yushanzi, that is, the round carved mountain and forest landscape, first draw the plane plan when making zuò, and then carve it, so it is often named after the map. The carving of this kind of mountain and forest landscape, from the framing, layout, to the hierarchical arrangement are all expressed and permeated with the chapter of painting.

Yushanzi is a special jade product. It appeared in the Song and Song dynasties. By the Ming and Qing dynasties, Shanzi represented the highest level of jade carving art. Often on the same piece. Three-dimensional vivid depiction of people, landscapes, plants, animals, there are high relief, bas-relief, line carving, carving, multi-layer openwork and other skills; the complex pattern can be accurately mastered, but also pay more attention to the details of processing, so that the Ming and Qing carving skills to reach the realm of perfection.

After Qianlong, due to the lack of large jade sources, Shanzi carving declined. Therefore, the jade quality of modern Yushanzi is basically very poor. And Liu Dong has carved a few pieces of Yushanzi before, but they are all small pieces.

The middle-aged man in front of him placed this piece of artifact is already a large piece of artifact.

Seeing this, Liu Dong raised his feet and walked over, and at this time he also noticed that in addition to this white jade mountain, there was also a thick piece of cardboard next to it, which was written in fairly fair words, 'Because the old mother in the family is sick, the cost of hospitalization is too high, and now in desperation, I have no choice but to sell this heirloom, Hetian Baiyu Shanzi, at a price of 50,000 yuan, and will not bargain!

This person's tone was quite hard, but the onlookers around him thought that he was cheating money, and this white jade mountain was fake at all.

However, with Liu Dong's eyesight, it can naturally be seen that this white jade Shanzi is a real Hetian white jade, but the material is not very good, the transparency and oiliness are very poor, it belongs to the mountain material, and it is also the third-grade white jade in Hetian white jade, which basically belongs to the lowest level. To make an analogy, it's similar to the horse tooth species in the jadeite, but the Hetian white jade material is not very good, but the carving is good, and it is still something from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, which is also a bit collectible, but if you really want to buy this white jade Shanzi for 50,000 yuan, it is indeed high.

However, under Liu Dong's relics, there is something more valuable in this white jade mountain.

"How do you sell this mountain?" Liu Dong's words immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd of onlookers and the middle-aged man squatting on the ground.

After noticing the simple dress and the youthful figure, the middle-aged man showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"Isn't it written on it? 50,000!" The middle-aged man's words were weak, and he obviously didn't think that Liu Dong could afford it.

"Little brother, this thing is fake, don't be fooled!" At this time, a man in his thirties next to him hurriedly persuaded him after seeing that Liu Dong seemed to have the intention of buying.

"Yes, there are too many liars these days, last time we met an old grandson upstairs, I heard that it was also a seller of antiques, and he was deceived of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan?"

Listening to the surrounding discussions, the middle-aged man squatting on the ground showed a trace of anger on his face, but it was obvious that there were many people who said this during the time he was setting up his stall, so although the middle-aged man was angry, he didn't argue anymore.

Of course, no matter what these people say, they still can't change Liu Dong's determination to buy this Yushanzi!

"I bought this white jade mountain!"

After listening to Liu Dong's words, the crowd that was originally talking around suddenly quieted down, and it was obvious that Liu Dong's answer was beyond their expectations.

"Do you really want to?" the middle-aged man looked at Liu Dong with a rather skeptical look.

Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled, "Of course!"

"If you want, we can trade now, and I can give you fifty thousand dollars now. ”

After listening to Liu Dong's words, the middle-aged man hurriedly stood up from the ground, looked at Liu Dong and said repeatedly: "Yes, I am willing to trade now!"

He hasn't been selling this white jade mountain for a day or two, and there are a lot of people who ask for the price, but the highest price is only 10,000 yuan. Because he couldn't meet his requirements, he stayed until now, and what he planned today was that if he couldn't sell it for 50,000 yuan, he would drop it to sell it for some money and relieve his pressure.

Unexpectedly, someone really bid 50,000 yuan, which was really unexpected to him.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Liu Dong took off the backpack behind him, and then used the old method to take out 50,000 yuan from the mustard seed space and handed it to the middle-aged man, "This is 50,000 yuan, you can see if it's true or not, by the way, see if it's enough!"

The red ticket is the most moving, as soon as Liu Dong's 50,000 yuan was taken out, the onlookers all became hot, and their eyes changed a little when they looked at Liu Dong, of course, they were more envious, this year they can easily take out 50,000 yuan to buy a white jade Shanzi character who can neither eat nor drink, it must be a big money, and what is even more rare is that Liu Dong is still so young.

"Money, right?"

Hearing Liu Dong's question, the middle-aged man nodded hurriedly, and said with joy on his face: "Yes, yes, 50,000 yuan is a lot!"

"Then I'll take this white jade mountain!" After finishing speaking, Liu Dong put the white jade mountain on the ground into the big backpack behind his back.

And the middle-aged man also hurriedly picked up the small furoshiki on the ground, patted the dirt on it, put 50,000 yuan in it, wrapped a few bags, and put it in the shoulder bag on his waist.

"Uncle, the money is not exposed, I advise you to hurry up and deposit the 50,000 yuan in the bank!" After finishing speaking, Liu Dong shook his arm, carried his backpack behind him, then turned around and walked to the side of the road, and soon hailed a taxi, opened the door and sat on it, and disappeared into the rolling traffic.

Perhaps it was because of Liu Dong's last parting words that the middle-aged man also reacted, holding the small burden in his hand tightly with both hands, and after running hundreds of meters, he turned into a bank, which made the surrounding pairs of ill-intentioned eyes show regret.

Of course, fortunately it is broad daylight, and it is on the street again, otherwise I am afraid that someone will really rob it directly.

……

After getting on the bus, Liu Dong soon came to the long-distance bus station, and then got on the long-distance bus to Songzi City, this time there were no robbers, it took more than two hours, Liu Dong arrived at Songzi City, a county-level city, very safely.

When Liu Dong walked out of the station, which was still stuck in the style of the 80s of the last century, it was already noon.

Looking at the buildings around the station, which were no more than three stories taller, Li Dong couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "This seems to be even more dilapidated than Qingzhou County, my hometown!"

Thinking of the bumps on the road, especially after entering Songxi County, the bumps on the car, and the terrain of the five or six hundred meters of peaks and valleys all the way, Liu Dong thought that his next journey would definitely not be smooth.

Out of the station, he was unfamiliar with the place, and Liu Dong didn't know how to get there, so when he got out of the bus station, he bought a map of Songzi City!

Then I found a decent restaurant around the station and walked in.

Maybe it's because it's close to the station, there are quite a lot of people eating here at noon, so Liu Dong found a table in the corner and sat down.

Considering that after entering the village, the food may not be too rich, Liu Dong decided to treat himself to this meal first.

Therefore, although the proprietress made Liu Dong have a hard time listening to the Hu-Beisongxi dialect, the dishes are still good! Especially the local famous dishes Du Po chicken, Songzi fish cake, mandarin fish in the water, pine milk mushroom, etc., there are more than a dozen dishes with different patterns, which make Liu Dong addicted to eating.
