Chapter 035 [Dongyang Wood Carving]

"Hey, why are these two again?"

As soon as Yang got out of the police car, he saw Meng Xiaowei and Qin Fan with frosty faces and unhappy faces at a glance, muttered a few strange words, and rushed over at a trot. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There is no way, Meng Xiaowei is the heart and soul of Yang Wei's old boss Old Man Meng, and if he hurts a hair, his father will look for him desperately.

"Sister Xiaowei, you were going to call the police just now?"

Although Yang Gang's real age is a few years older than Meng Xiaowei, he looks white and pure like a minor little fresh meat, and his father is completely different from his father's painting style. Under Meng Xiaowei's coercion and temptation, she has been called sister since she was a child.

When the managers saw that the little policeman seemed to know this female college student, their faces suddenly changed, and they secretly said that they wanted something bad. hurriedly came out to play a round, "Comrade policeman, this is all a misunderstanding, no one wants to call the police." We've coordinated for the bad guy to apologize to the two of them. ”

"Misunderstanding? Why didn't you just say that, and let me pay this liar? ”

The managers of the antique market want to calm things down, and they don't want to make a big deal out of it. But Meng Xiaowei was unrelenting, and told the story of the leper and the market management personnel favoring the liar.

"Touching porcelain?"

Yang Gang was a little surprised to glance at the liar who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and then looked at Qin Fan who was calm and relaxed next to Meng Xiaowei, and couldn't help but complain, "It's only been a few days, buddy, you have been with a liar again, are you a professional in fighting counterfeiting?" ”

Last time, the two Ma Liang and Li Youquan who used fake jade to cheat money are still lying in the hospital, and now there is one more, is this guy uncomfortable without fighting for a day or what?

"Hehe, I couldn't hold back for a while, I'll pay attention next time. If you can do it, you don't talk nonsense, uh no, it's to reason with them first. ”

Yang Gang rolled his eyes, do you want to have a next time, if the reason doesn't make sense, shouldn't you do it?

"Comrade police, I was wronged, they broke my bowl and beat me up."

So far, Leper San can only bite to death and refuse to admit that he touched porcelain, otherwise the Spring Festival will be spent in prison singing behind bars and crying.

"Nonsense, your bowl was originally broken, glued with glue, and deliberately taken out to touch the porcelain." Meng Xiaowei said angrily.

Hearing Meng Xiaowei say this, Yang Gang squatted down and picked up a piece of broken porcelain, and after a closer look, it was really glued together, which would not have completely dried up.

"Miasma, bring this kid back for me."

This is certainly not the first time that these porcelain scams have happened in the antique market, but they have not received a few calls, and it seems that they have been suppressed by the management of the antique market. It seems that it is time to rectify the unhealthy atmosphere of the antique market.

Qin Fan didn't know that because of this porcelain incident, it didn't take long for the Public Security Bureau to carry out a three-month centralized rectification of all the antique markets in Luzhou, arresting a large number of criminals who touched porcelain, defrauded and forced to buy and sell, and by the way, the market managers who covered up these behaviors were also punished.

Since then, the antique market has swept away the previous atmosphere and become much more formal, and there is no such phenomenon as touching porcelain or forcibly buying and selling.

After the gangsters were arrested, the managers were all unlucky and went to the bureau with these policemen to make records.

"Well, it's all gone."

When the woodcarving vendor saw that the gangster who broke his things was taken away by the police, he suddenly became a little anxious, and stopped in front of Qin Fan and Meng Xiaowei and pestered, "You can't go, my woodcarvings have been broken, you have to compensate me." ”

"Why are you unreasonable, and it wasn't us who smashed your things, why should we pay for it?"

Meng Xiaowei saw that this hawker was unrelenting and stopped them from leaving, so she argued with him.

"Then I don't care, if you didn't fight, how could that person smash my things, you have to pay for it."

The vendor's stall was lined with more than a dozen carved ornaments and a few carved boxes, most of which were smashed by thugs, and only a few were intact.

Suddenly, a faint treasure light jumped into Qin Fan's pupils.

"Huh?"

Qin Fan's gaze fell on a wood-carved jewelry box, and his heart suddenly chuckled, but his face did not show any abnormality.

"How much is the total amount of wood carvings on your stall, I will pay you." Qin Fan turned his head and said to the vendors who were still arguing and demanding compensation from them.

"My wood carvings are all high-quality products, and more than a dozen pieces add up to at least 5,000!" The peddler stretched out five fingers, in fact, most of his wood carvings were made by modern craftsmanship or machines, and they were not worth so much at all.

“5000! Why don't you grab it? ”

Meng Xiaowei dragged Qin Fan and was about to leave, this peddler was really greedy.

"Well, don't go. You smashed my things, don't want to leave without compensation. ”

"I only have 500 on me, do you want it?" Qin Fan took out five hundred bills from his body, it wasn't that he couldn't get more money, but if he gave out more, he was afraid that this peddler would be suspicious.

The peddler hesitated, but finally accepted the five hundred dollars. The purchase price of his wood carvings is only 300, and he can get 500 and make money.

"Wait." Qin Fan said to the vendor who was cleaning up the stall and was about to go home, "These wood carvings belong to me, you wrap those few pieces for me." ”

"Cheng, I'll wrap it up for you."

The peddler didn't suspect it, and after getting the money, he quickly packed a few intact wood carvings for Qin Fan.

"Didn't you say that these wood carvings are all modern craftsmanship and are not worth any money, why bother to bring them back?" Meng Xiaowei asked with a puzzled expression.

"Let's find a place to have breakfast first, sit down and talk slowly."

Qin Fan did not answer Meng Xiaowei directly, but took a taxi and went straight to a Cantonese tea restaurant in the city for morning tea.

This Cantonese tea restaurant is very famous in the provincial capital, and it is full of gourmets who come for morning tea early in the morning. Qin Fan found a position that no one paid attention to, and ordered more than ten famous refreshments in Cantonese morning tea in one go.

After the morning tea came up, Meng Xiaowei sandwiched a crystal shrimp dumpling and stuffed it into the cherry mouth, and the shrimp dumplings were smooth and tender with an endless aftertaste.

However, Qin Fan was not in a hurry to feast, but took out a wood carving jewelry box from those few wood carvings, and studied it intently.

"You paid the vendor 500 yuan for this jewelry box?" Meng Xiaowei's eyes flashed, and she immediately guessed Qin Fan's true intentions.

"You're right." Qin Fan took a small soup dumpling and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Meng Xiaowei stared at the woodcarved jewelry box curiously for a long time, but she didn't see anything famous.

"Don't sell it, tell me what's different about this jewelry box."

Qin Fan played with the small and delicate jewelry box in his hand and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this box should be Dongyang wood carving." ”

Dongyang wood carving began in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties has a history of more than 1,000 years, is one of the important Chinese folk carving arts, Dongyang wood carving and Qingtian stone carving and boxwood carving and called "Zhejiang Province three carvings".

This wood carving process is produced in Dongyang, Zhejiang Province, and the wood carving materials are strictly selected, mostly using basswood, white peach wood and camphor wood.

Traditional Dongyang wood carving is mainly flat relief, and there are types such as thin relief, bas-relief, deep relief, high relief and multi-layer relief. It is characterized by rich layers, and light and elegant color, which retains the natural grain and color of logs, and has elegant style, which is very artistic and collectible.

"This jewelry box should be carved from camphor wood, which is not very old, and should be something of the late Qing Dynasty. You smell it for the fragrance. ”

Camphor wood, also known as camphor, because of its volatile oil, has a strong special aroma, made into furniture and placed in the living room, can exude a quiet fragrance, so that people breathe smoothly and feel peaceful.

Meng Xiaowei approached the camphor wood jewelry box and sniffed it vigorously, and really smelled a trace of quiet aroma.

"This wood carving jewelry box is exquisitely crafted, and it is a fine product in Dongyang wood carving. It's a pity that the vendor didn't know the goods and sold the jewelry box as an ordinary wood carving. ”

In fact, this Dongyang wood-carved jewelry box was not bought by the vendor from the vendor, but turned out from his hometown. However, he didn't know any Dongyang wood carvings, and thought that this jewelry box was worthless, so he sold it with those ordinary wood carvings. Unexpectedly, he was picked up by Qin Fan for a bargain.

"Then is this Dongyang wood carving very valuable?"

Qin Fan shook his head and explained, "The craftsmanship of this Dongyang wood carving jewelry box is very good, the age is broken to the late Qing Dynasty, and the preservation is also very good, but the value is still incomparable with the rare rosewood carving." ”

"Conservative estimates, it should be worth 20,000 yuan, which can be regarded as a small leak."

If the peddler knew that the jewelry box he sold for dozens of yuan had suddenly risen to 20,000 yuan, it was estimated that his intestines would be repentant.

Although 20,000 yuan is a lot, it is really nothing in terms of Meng Xiaowei's family background.

Seeing Meng Xiaowei's somewhat disappointed look, Qin Fan said mysteriously, "Don't underestimate this jewelry box, there may not be a big leak in the small leak, this jewelry box also hides a mystery." ”

"Hidden mysteries?"

Meng Xiaowei's eyes widened, and she was aroused by Qin Fan's words.
