"I said how empty it was in the middle......"

At this time, seeing the square pillar emerging from the floor in the center of the room, Wang Guan suddenly realized, but also observed more attentively, wanting to know what the treasure of Hao Baolai's town treasury was.

To be honest, this thing is so hidden, if Hao Baolai doesn't mention it himself, it is estimated that no one will know, and he just told Wang Guan, and it is clear that he wants to show off.

Since he dares to show off, it also fully proves that Hao Baolai is very confident in his own things. Otherwise, knowing that Wang Guan had such a good thing as the Heiding tea cup on hand, he would definitely not humiliate himself.

After a while, the square column slowly stopped, and I saw that there was a tight tempered glass cover on the column, which tightly covered the contents inside. However, the glass is very transparent, so you can see things clearly.

"Huh."

After taking a look, Wang Guan suddenly felt a little surprised. Before the square cylinder came out, he had also guessed what Hao Baolai's treasure of the town treasury was, whether it was jade jewelry, or porcelain calligraphy and painting, it was all in his guess.

However, now that he really saw the appearance of things, Wang Guan found that he had guessed wrong. At the same time, Hao Baolai said even more triumphantly: "What's the matter, I didn't expect it at all." ”

"I really didn't expect it." Gao Dequan sighed: "I remember very clearly, the treasure of the town treasury you showed me last time was a black pearl the size of a thumb, how can it be replaced with a hair weapon now." ”

The so-called lacquerware, to put it bluntly, is lacquerware. In ancient times, red and black lacquer was called lacquer, and lacquer was a traditional craft.

"Black pearls have already been sold." At this time, Hao Baolai waved his hand and smiled: "The money from the sale happened to buy this thing, Yongle red carved lacquer to catch the pearl cloud dragon pattern cover box......"

"." Gao Dequan walked lightly to the pillar and looked at it carefully. While saying: "Your black pearls are at most a few million, and if this Yongle Red is genuine, it will be nearly 10 million." ”

"Hehe, your estimate is really accurate." Hao Baolai smiled: "Very auspicious number, ninety-nine-eight!" ”

After all, it was a layer apart, and he couldn't see it clearly enough, so after looking at it for a while, Gao Dequan immediately turned around and said, "Hurry up and get the shell cover open, so as not to get in the way." ”

"You get out of the way...... Hao Baolai stepped forward and pressed a few numbers on the numeric keypad under the cylinder. The tempered glass cover will automatically pop up.

At the right time, Wang Guan also walked over unconsciously and carefully looked at the red lid box.

Picking red is also a very unique process. According to the different paint colors, there are red, yellow, green, black, color, rhino, among which the red is the most common.

The process of this process is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do. First of all, on the tire type of the utensils, dozens of layers to one or two hundred layers of vermilion lacquer were painted. After the layers are piled up to a considerable thickness, in the case of half soft and half hard, the required ornament pattern is eliminated in one go.

The reason why it is said to be ticked, not called carving. That's also a more talkative thing. From this, it can be seen that the ancients were very particular about the words, and only when they are hard can they be called carvings, and when they are hard and soft, they are eliminated.

When the lacquer is half-dry, it is also soft. Then use a sharp knife to cut out the gorgeous and rich patterns, which is definitely not inferior to the difficulty of carving stone and jade. And strictly speaking, the technical content of red removal should be a little higher.

After all, the process of lacquer from semi-soft to complete drying is also limited. If the task cannot be completed within this time, then the thing will be ruined, the previous efforts will be lost, and there is no possibility of remedy at all.

The difficulty of the red removal process also doubles the value of this kind of thing. For example, the Yongle red box in front of him is carved with ruyi cloud patterns all over the body, and a flying dragon symbolizing the royal family is carved on the front, which must be carried forward, and it seems to be speeding in the wind. The dragon's body is strong and powerful, with sharp claws, looking back, there is a state of looking down on all things, and the demeanor of a king is full.

The carving is delicate and fluent, the picture layout is plump and graceful, and full of luxurious atmosphere, there is no doubt that it must be a court utensil. Ordinary people, or dignitaries and nobles, did not dare to use such things in private.

In fact, no matter ancient or modern, as long as it is related to the court, it means that the quality is high, the quality is guaranteed, and the price is a matter of course.

"If this is the real thing, you don't have to spend it unjustly." Gao Dequan smiled, picked up the lid box, carefully observed the knife work and lacquer color in it, and then slightly touched the texture changes on the surface with his fingers.

After a while, Hao Baolai hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Although after buying the things, he also asked experts to help identify them, and they all came to the same conclusion, proving that they were genuine. But I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if. No matter how confident he is, he is afraid that a fake word will come out of Gao Dequan's mouth.

Fortunately, Hao Baolai's worries did not come true, and after Gao Dequan studied it for a while, a smile of appreciation appeared on his face: "Yes, the boutique Yongle is red, the red knife method is round, the pattern is balanced, especially the direction of polishing, which is in line with the characteristics of the times, and it is undoubtedly genuine." ”

"It's really good...... Hao Baolai nodded again and again, and after secretly breathing a sigh of relief, he was very curious: "Ade, what do you mean by polishing direction?" ”

"It is to remove the required pattern on the box surface, wait until the paint glue is all dry, and then polish the surface again. In this way, the thing looks very warm and shiny. ”

Gao Dequan explained: "In ancient times, there was no sandpaper, and when sanding things, you need to use a file. This kind of file becomes very prickly after being dipped in water, and the craftsman uses this file to carefully polish the red surface, and the direction of polishing is not to rub sideways left and right horizontally like sandpaper today, but to rub up and down vertically. ”

"Many people don't understand this truth, and often take the lacquerware of the late Qing Dynasty to engrave the money of Ming Yongle and Xuande, thinking that everything will be fine, but they don't know that in the eyes of connoisseurs, this is just a joke."

Gao Dequan continued to laugh: "Because in the Qing Dynasty, it was not as important as the Ming Dynasty. Not only do they not pay attention to it, but sometimes they think that if the carved things are not polished, they will look different. Therefore, as long as you compare the changes in the grinding of the red surface, you will know the difference between Ming and Qing lacquerware. ”

"I see." Hao Baolai suddenly realized, and naturally remembered it in his heart.

At the same time, Wang Guan took the red lid box in Gao Dequan's hand, and said with a smile while admiring it: "I don't know what the reason is, it seems that among many lacquerware, only the red in the Yongle and Xuande periods can break through the price of 10 million, and the lacquerware of other dynasties is slightly inferior." ”

"This is normal."

Gao Dequan said with a smile: "In fact, it is also related to national strength. Although the technique of removing red matured in the Song and Yuan dynasties, it also reached its peak after the development of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Especially during the Yongle Xuande period, after decades of recuperation, the comprehensive national strength of the Ming Dynasty was the most powerful period, known as the rule of Yongxuan. ”

"You must know that handicrafts also represent the strength of the country to a certain extent, as long as the country is strong, there will be a lot of financial and material resources to produce exquisite works of art. It's like Yongle sweet white, Xuande furnace, red and blue porcelain, and so on. Of course, not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the Qing Dynasty, and the porcelain of the official kilns of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty is also a clear proof......"

For example, Gao Dequan smiled: "So it doesn't matter if you don't have enough eyesight, as long as you recognize this, no matter how bad the things you buy, they won't be much worse." ”

"Yes." Hao Baolai thought so.

In an instant, Gao De's words turned around, and he said with contempt: "However, it is because of the existence of people like you that the price of artworks is polarized, the better the more expensive, and the price of a little bit has not been able to go up." ”

"It's just ......"

For a moment, Wang Guan nodded in agreement, after all, his position determines thinking, he is now the owner of an antique shop, and he is naturally disgusted by the behavior of some customers who pick the age to buy things.

"Say whatever you want." Hao Baolai said proudly: "How about it, the treasure of my town treasury is okay." ”

"That's it."

Gao Dequan shrugged his shoulders and kindly reminded: "But you have to pay attention, lacquerware is more troublesome to preserve." It is very sensitive to dry humidity, it is easy to crack if it is too dry, and it is easy to grow hairs if it is too wet. If you don't store it properly, it will be damaged if you're not careful, and you will probably want to cry without tears. ”

"I understand that."

Hao Baolai nodded and said, "That's why it's in the glass cover, and the temperature can be adjusted inside." ”

"That's fine." Gao Dequan smiled, then turned his head and said: "Wang Guan, don't be embarrassed, when you come to the treasure house, how can there be any reason to return empty-handed, if you fancy something, hurry up and get it." ”

"I'm watching, there's a lot of stuff, I'm dazzled......"

After returning the red lid box to Hao Baolai, Wang Guan's eyes began to wander, looking for items that fit his heart.

"It's really not good...... At this time, Gao Dequan suddenly pointed to a painting hanging on the wall, and said with a smile: "Fu Baoshi's landscape paintings are actually quite good. ”

Hearing this, although Hao Baolai didn't say anything, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he obviously became nervous.

Wang observed it, waved his hand and smiled: "Hehe, don't worry, let's take a look first." ”

Hao Baolai was relieved when he heard this, but he was also a little embarrassed and said: "Wang Guan, if you really like it, then take it, it's a big deal to buy another ...... another day."

Hypocrisy, absolutely hypocrisy. You must know that the market price of Fu Baoshi's works is not low, and the cheapest ones are estimated to be millions, and tens of millions are not a few. Although I don't know the specific price of the landscape painting in front of me, judging from Hao Baolai's nervous demeanor, Wang Guan really took it, and it will definitely make him feel pain for a long time.

"Hey, there are actually Xu Qingteng's splashed freehand flowers and birds." Gao Dequan rolled his eyes, and suddenly said with a little surprise: "Don't think about it, you want this ......"

"Ah...... Morality! ”

In an instant, Hao Baolai gritted his teeth and glared at Gao Dequan fiercely. As long as you have a little heart to listen, you can hear his exclamation first, and then change his voice in time to call Gao Dequan.

Such a gaffe fully shows that he attaches great importance to this painting, even above Fu Baoshi's landscape paintings...... (To be continued.) )
