Chapter 1043: Headless Flies
PS: I don't think it will last long, but if you have a monthly pass, please support it, thank you.
"Let's go, go in and have a look."
At this time, Yu Feibai also felt a little novel, and immediately beckoned Wang Guan to enter the royal street. After the big archway, it is a simple and elegant attic, look at the name of the signboard, but it is Fan Lou.
At this time, Yu Feibai squeezed his eyebrows and said, "I know that Master Li is not, so I live in it." ”
"A thousand years ago, it must have been in there. As for now, the ghosts don't know where they are floating. Wang Guan said angrily: "Let's go, there is an antique shop in front, let's go and have a look." ”
There are a lot of antique shops along the way, but there are more handicraft shops, especially the shops that sell Bian embroidery, which gather a lot of tourists to watch. The fine needle and thread are embroidered like a real scene in the hands of skilled craftsmen, and the world-famous oil paintings and ancient Chinese paintings are embroidered vividly.
The most famous, of course, is Zhang Zeduan's Qingming Riverside Picture, which is completed by subtle silk threads, giving people infinite emotion. Such a long large picture scroll, embroidered in fine detail, naturally attracts many people to pay a high price to buy back, whether it is treasured, or placed in the living room as a symbol of wealth, auspiciousness, elegance, is very meaningful.
"Go back and buy a few back."
At the right time, Yu Feibai said with a smile: "Then I will give it to you as a wedding gift." ”
"Stingy!"
Wang Guan naturally despised it very much.
"How well people embroider, majestic, and incisive, how can you say that you are stingy?"
Knowing that Yu Feibai deliberately confused the public, Wang Guan didn't bother to take care of him, so he walked a few steps faster, and there was a relatively large antique shop in front of him.
Speaking of which, Wang Guan hasn't visited an antique shop for a while. After all, some time ago, for the tour of treasures, and Mr. Zhu Da's affairs, he was always running around and wandering around, so naturally he was so busy that he didn't even have time to go shopping.
As for now. It's just a matter of being busy, or trying your luck.
After all, Meng Jian only revealed the name of Kaifeng, so it means that there must be some clues in Kaifeng. Maybe this is one of the three caves of Mr. Zhu's cunning rabbit, but in the absence of accurate information, he has to run around like a headless fly, hoping to find something.
At this time, the two walked into the antique shop, and their eyes swept away, only to see that the things in the store were relatively miscellaneous. There are ceramic bottles. There are calligraphy and painting works, there are also the four treasures of the study, and even a few oil paintings.
What do you say about these things, they are too fake. After a glance, Wang Guan couldn't help but shake his head, where is this antique, it is clearly a modern handicraft. However, considering that this is an antique commercial street, Wang Guan can express his understanding. After all, where the commercial element is strong, it must be mixed. There are many fakes, but few genuine ones.
"Two little brothers."
Right here, the shopkeeper walked over enthusiastically and said with a smile: "What do you like?" ”
"Watching."
Timely. Yu Feibai said casually: "Boss, your things here don't seem to be very good." ”
"Little brother, look at what you said." The shopkeeper heard this. must be a little unhappy: "Tell me, what's wrong with things?" I'm all good stuff, real treasures. ”
"Yes." Yu Feibai smiled. He didn't mean to refute, but asked directly: "Do you have a firewood kiln here?" ”
"Firewood kiln?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper walked back to the counter and laid out a porcelain vase.
"Is it really a firewood kiln?"
For a while, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were a little surprised.
"Of course it's a firewood kiln, it's definitely a firewood kiln. If not, the fake one pays ten. The shopkeeper patted his chest and said, with a positive expression on his face, which also made the two people come over to watch suspiciously.
At first glance, the porcelain vase is extremely bright, exuding a clear and elegant color, which is indeed very beautiful. However, the brilliance is dazzling, lacking the essential warmth and luster of antique porcelain. So after taking a look, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai couldn't help frowning, where is this firewood kiln, it is obviously newly made porcelain.
"Boss, are you kidding us?"
At the right time, Yu Feibai directly expressed his dissatisfaction: "We are not blind, if this is a firewood kiln, a piece of firewood is worth a thousand gold of firewood kiln porcelain, then I will eat it directly." ”
"It's really a firewood kiln."
At this time, the shopkeeper's eyes showed a little cunning: "However, it is definitely not a firewood kiln made in ancient times, but a variety of re-fired by the masters of our province, very exquisite handicrafts, representing the image of our Kaifeng......"
"As expected." When the two of them heard this, they immediately understood. The shopkeeper's heart is not dark, and his skin is not thick enough to open his eyes and tell nonsense.
Although they had not been to Kaifeng before, the two had indeed heard that some people in Henan Province were trying to restore the firewood kiln. However, it is not clear how much the things burned out are similar to the legendary firewood kilns, due to the lack of intuitive comparison.
However, it is undeniable that the "firewood kiln" porcelain carefully fired with modern technology has even been affirmed by experts in the province through the national patent office, which is enough to show that this kind of "firewood kiln" porcelain must have a bit of a doorway. At the very least, it can be determined that the level of such crafts is not low, and the quality is guaranteed.
Now that the shopkeeper said that it was opened, the two of them were disappointed, but also carefully looked at the porcelain vase on the table.
The firewood kiln of the Five Dynasties period is known as blue as the sky, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and sound like a chime. Blue as the sky, that refers to the glaze color. Legend has it that Zhou Shizong Chai Rong ascended the throne, according to the custom need to burn a batch of porcelain as a tribute sacrifice, the people at the bottom did not know Chai Rong's preferences, so he asked him for instructions, what specifications and colors of porcelain need to be fired.
Chai Rong is also very elegant, and directly commented that the rain will be in the sky and the clouds will be broken, and the color will be the future. The ancient one, which is the modern one, means that the porcelain is made according to the color of the sunny day after the rain.
This is the origin of the blue as the sky, and the bright as a mirror, but it refers to the brightness of the firewood kiln porcelain, just like a mirror, very clear and clean, which can clearly reflect the scene.
As for being as thin as paper and sound like chime, of course, it refers to the thickness of the carcass and the characteristics of being dense. After all, only if the tire is tight, can the sound of a bell chime be played.
Apparently. The characteristics of this porcelain vase in front of you are basically consistent with the legendary firewood kiln, and it is no wonder that the shopkeeper dares to take it out with confidence. Aside from anything else, purely from the perspective of crafts, things are really good and have a certain value. If you buy it back, you can not only use it as an ornamental item, but if you can collect it for one or two hundred years, it is also a good antique.
"The premise is that I can live to be two hundred years old." Yu Feibai muttered. Then he shook his head and said: "Boss, don't use this to fool people, we want to buy real firewood porcelain." ”
"Little brother, it's not just you who want it."
At this time, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "You go out and ask casually, which one you don't want?" But there are some things that you don't necessarily have if you want them, and you can't buy them really, so it's good to have a replacement. ”
One last word. But he betrayed the owner's mind and was still working hard to sell the porcelain vase.
"Forget about the substitutes." Yu Feibai shook his head and said, "I bought a lot, and my house is full." ”
"That's right." The shopkeeper thought about it and carefully carried the porcelain vase back. Then he took out another scroll: "Little brother, in our Kaifeng, there is not only a firewood kiln, but also many rare things." For example, this picture of the river during the Qingming Festival......"
Hearing this, Yu Feibai didn't say a word, and didn't even say hello. Turn around and go.
"I'm sorry, suddenly a little urgent......" Wang Guan smiled, said a word, and followed.
Before I went out, I heard Yu Feibai complain in a low voice: "Is this an antique shop, or an antique shop?" ”
"It doesn't matter what kind of store it is." Wang Guan said casually: "Didn't you shout to come over?" Besides, the shopkeeper is quite kind, at least it means that the thing is a handicraft. ”
"Nonsense, it's a firewood kiln again, and it's a Qingming Shanghe map, who doesn't know it's a handicraft." Yu Feibai snorted: "Whoever takes it seriously is the real big fool." ”
"Alright, don't complain." Wang Guan shook his head and said: "Actually, the shopkeeper is also very right, you are not the only one in the world who is looking for a firewood kiln, if you can find it casually, it is not a legendary thing." ”
"Yes." Yu Feibai immediately cheered up again: "Let's go, continue to walk, I don't expect to find a firewood kiln all at once, but maybe there are other good things." ”
Facts have proved that Yu Feibai's words are really effective. After shopping around Song Du Yu Street, it is true that no firewood kiln was found, but the two of them also found a few good gadgets.
It's really just a gadget, the best thing, but it's a fan bone, an old fan bone in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.
An elegant plum blossom is carved on the fan bone, and it is also very chic. The shopkeeper knew that it was an antiquity, so he directly offered 10,000 yuan, and after some bargaining, it was sold for 3,000 yuan. Fan bones are also considered a niche collection, although in the appreciation space, but three thousand yuan is also considered to be the end.
However, after Yu Feibai paid, he was also a little happy. Because the material of the fan bone is not ordinary, it is not ordinary bamboo, but boxwood. The shopkeeper couldn't recognize it, so he took it as an ordinary bamboo and wood, only counted the years, and ignored the material, but it was Yu Feibai who picked up a small leak.
In this regard, Yu Feibai must be very happy. As soon as he was happy, he immediately shouted for a treat, and then took Wang Guan to the most luxurious restaurant in Kaifeng to eat and drink, and the money spent was several times that of the leakage, and it was obviously beyond his means.
However, for a big tyrant like Yu Feibai, this is a very normal situation. One yard is one yard, picking up leaks is picking up leaks, eating, drinking and having fun is another money, and it can't be mixed up.
Anyway, the first day of arrival in Kaifeng passed like this. There were no surprises, no particularly big surprises, it was uneventful and expected.
After a night of silence, the next morning, Wang Guan woke up Yu Feibai, who was still sleeping, and then after washing, he settled breakfast in a nearby teahouse, eating Kaifeng's delicious soup dumplings. When the hot soup reached their stomachs, the two of them immediately felt a warmth in their bodies and their spirits were lifted.
"What's next?"
At this time, Yu Feibai asked, "Continue to play, or do you want to look around like a fly without a head?" (To be continued......)
