Chapter 61: Shoveling the Ground
After tossing for a long time, it turned out to be a big oolong, Li Yi was so ashamed that he was almost embarrassed, he quickly asked Hu Zhiyuan to get out of the car, and then fled directly without saying hello, shame, shame to be thrown home! It's all thrown to someone else's house!
When he got home, Li Yi devoured a full meal, and then slept until he was woken up by his mother the next day, and when he woke up, he looked at the black jade material in the room, and his heart was ruthless, and when he came back from his hometown, he would cut you! Make you pretty!
Seeing that his father had already packed up his fishing gear, Li Yi knew what he was going to do. The waterhole in my hometown has not been dry for many years, and although it has been tossed back and forth, there are definitely a lot of fish that have slipped through the net, and they have also fished when they went back in previous years.
Li Yi's hometown is not far away, only an hour's drive, but there is no one at home anymore, so they don't go back much. His grandparents died early, and now there is only one aunt left who married into the next village, who goes over from time to time to take care of the old house. Li Yi: Every time they say that they are going back to their hometown, they also go to their aunt's house.
Li's father's car drove fast and steadily, and in less than an hour, he stopped at the door of his aunt's house, went to the old house as usual, went to the grave to burn paper, and returned to his aunt's house to chat for a while.
My uncle, who had been busy and didn't talk much, suddenly interjected,
"Xiaoyi is learning jewelry and jade identification, do you understand antiques?"
"Understand."
"Oh? I heard that the ancient tomb was dug up by building a house in Zhouzhuang, and many dealers have been collecting things over there these days, do you want to go over and have a look? ”
Li Yi suddenly came to his senses, he had long heard how magical and fun it was to shovel the ground, but he didn't expect to meet it when he returned to his hometown, how could he not be interested?
Uncle smiled,
"If you want to go, I'll find you someone, and you go with him. But don't pay attention to it, the current dealer is also a thief! ”
Li Yi nodded again and again, and his uncle made a phone call, and then sued him,
"Those who come down to collect things generally give the middleman a commission, if you really meet something good, don't forget this."
Li Yi nodded again, and after a while, the person his uncle called him arrived, a middle-aged man in his forties, who he also knew at a glance, Brother Long, who was older and younger, ran behind his ass when he was a child.
"Xiaoyi is back, can college students still understand this? If you really understand, I'll take you to two more houses, good things are now holding the price, those outsiders don't look at the fierceness of tossing, they don't hit! ”
If it is not in the local language, it means that it does not work. Brother Long's meaning Li Yi also understood, that is, they didn't trust those cultural relics dealers who came to collect antiques, and the good things hadn't been sold yet!
After driving the car, it took twenty minutes to arrive in Zhouzhuang, Brother Long asked Li Yi to park the car at the head of the village, and then led Li Yi to knock on the door of a family.
"The third uncle didn't go to the ground, right? I brought someone over to see things, this is the nephew of the fourth aunt of our village, my own people. ”
Brother Long introduced Li Yi to a lady who came to open the door.
"Wood on the ground, wood on the ground, now there is no wood in the field, come in."
The eldest lady warmly welcomed the two into the courtyard, an old man with a little hunched back happened to come out of the wing, and when he saw Brother Long, he also greeted him warmly, and several people came to the hall together, chatted a few words, the old man asked them to wait, and he turned around and went into the next room. After a while, he took out a small bottle more than ten centimeters high, glanced at Li Yi, and carefully placed it on the table.
Li Yixian didn't get started, but lay on the side and looked carefully.
The upper edge of the bottle is a bell mouth, which naturally expands the abdomen after the neck, and the concave tendons divide the bulging part of the middle abdomen into eight parts, and the whole bottle looks like a garlic clove that is first elongated and then enlarged.
The color of the bottle is also very strange, the whole is light green, the neck is white, and there are a few large patches of orange and yellow on the belly, but the opening looks natural, not like a fake.
Li Yi didn't know the style of the bottle, he had a guess about this mixed color, but he wasn't sure if it was right, but when he saw this bottle, he instinctively didn't like it, it was too ugly!
Carefully picked up the bottle and looked at the bottom of the bottle, the fetal foot was wide and stained with something that looked like slag, no money, but there were two dented numbers, "87".
He put the bottle back on the table, pondered for a while, first made a judgment with his very limited knowledge, and then held the bottle with his left hand.
"Green Glazed Kiln Changed Piece Pattern Porcelain Vase, Republic, 1954"
The kiln changed and guessed correctly, and the big era was also right, but there was a difference of 33 years, Li Yi thought that the 87 at the bottom of the bottle was the age, and now it seems that it should be numbered.
The early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China were also very collectible, but as with other types of antiques, the value ultimately depended on the quality of the things themselves.
In Li Yi's opinion, this thing has little value. Although it's been a year, but the things are too bad, and I don't even have the mood to enjoy it, so what's the strength of collecting?
He shook his head, said something he couldn't see, and sat aside. Brother Long had also seen a few antique dealers, and he knew that if he couldn't see it, he didn't like it, so he motioned to the old man to put his things away, and then led Li Yi out of the door and walked towards the village.
"How?"
"In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the things that were fired in batches were either not brought out by the old man, or the tomb was not an ancient tomb at all."
Brother Long nodded, did not speak, and after a while, the two stood at the door of another house.
There are more things in this house, there are three white porcelain bowls, as well as a blue and white plate and a Beacon Hill.
Li Yi first looked at Bijia Mountain, it was indeed in the shape of a mountain, with three raised fingers that seemed to be short and thick, which looked a little clumsy. The glaze is blue-white, which is a bit similar to the picture of Longquan kiln powder celadon he has seen, and the glaze is very bright, and there is no money on the soles of the feet.
With a light touch with his left hand, Li Yi shook his head slightly, grouting old things.
Look at the white porcelain bowl, white porcelain is a kind of traditional Chinese porcelain classification, celadon, blue and white porcelain, colored porcelain, and white porcelain. There is white porcelain in all Chinese dynasties, which can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Among them, the most famous is the white porcelain of the Song Dynasty Ding kiln.
The three white porcelain bowls are about the same shape and should have been fired in the same batch, but two of them are not very round, and even antiques are defective. Li Yi casually glanced at it twice and then used the spirit card to directly identify it, and sure enough, it was the same as a fake technique, grouting.
These pieces all came to the same conclusion, and the remaining blue and white plate Li Yi was no longer interested, but out of caution, he still touched it with his left hand, and sure enough, all the way.
When he went out, Brother Long asked as usual, Li Yi was too lazy to say, it was just two words, fake!
"It was said that the one who dug up the ancient tomb was the one just now, and my third uncle at the head of the village was his uncle, so there was one piece, and there was his parents' house, I led someone to see it, a big blue and white bottle. If these are all fake, then it is estimated that so is, do you still see it? ”
Li Yi pondered that since he had come, he should take a look, looking at fakes is also a means of learning, and the craftsmanship of this grouting and old-fashioned is not bad, the glaze color of each piece of porcelain is relatively bright, and there is no obvious fire, it seems that it should be a veteran.
The family's parents' house was not far away, and Li Yi and they walked for less than two minutes before they came to the door of a slightly dilapidated yard.
The thing that this family took out was really the same as what Brother Long said, it was a blue and white plum vase, but this time there was one more thing, a black stone that was slightly larger than an egg.
Li Yi didn't pay much attention to the plum bottle, but just passed his hand, and he asked a few more words about the black thing.
"What is this?"
"An old friend gave it to me, saying that it was old beeswax, and it was not well maintained, so if you like it, just give it some."
"Old beeswax?"
Li Yi has been remembering the auction yearbooks of the past years for a period of time, because he has the spirit card in his hand, he is not worried about not being able to recognize things, but it is still possible to be fooled if he recognizes things, the main reason is, of course, that he does not understand the market price, so he is making up for this lesson.
He remembered that about three years ago, Hong Kong auctioned an old beeswax pendant of the Qing Dynasty, with a weight of more than a dozen grams, but the price reached more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, and some precious beeswax produced in Iran, Afghanistan, Myanmar and other places can even reach dozens of times the price of the same weight of gold!
