Chapter 41: Xuande Furnace
After everyone sat down, Yang beckoned Erdan's father to eat, but everyone just picked up the chopsticks and knew that Erdan's father must have something to do here.
Erdan's father took two mouthfuls of rice, put down his rice bowl and thanked Tang Dou for two words, promising that the money owed would be returned to Tang Dou as soon as possible.
Tang Dou smiled and said, "The matter of money is not in a hurry, how is Erdan's illness now?" ”
Erdan's father had a gloomy cloud on his face again, hesitated for a moment and said: "The doctor said that if Erdan's disease is to be cured, it is best to do a hematopoietic white blood cell transplant, oh, a bone marrow transplant." ”
Tang Dou nodded, for some types of leukemia, bone marrow transplantation is indeed the best way, of course, he doesn't understand medical things, he, like most patients, walks into the hospital and completely hands over his body to the doctor, even if he is treated as a guinea pig, he doesn't know it.
"Big brother, isn't there enough money? How much is missing? Tang Dou didn't want to go around in circles, so he asked directly.
Erdan's father said with a sad face: "The doctor said that after a full set of surgeries, plus the later recovery treatment, I am afraid it will take about 400,000 yuan." ”
400,000 is not a decimal number, Tang Dou has already paid 200,000 yuan for Erdan, if you add this 400,000, it will be 600,000, it is estimated that Erdan's father will not be able to pay him this money even if he drives a container truck for a lifetime.
Tang Dou only paused slightly, then took out the checkbook from the shoulder bag on the side, smiled and said: "Money is not a big problem, as long as you can keep the child, it is worth spending more money." ”
Money is really not a big problem, at least for Tang Dou, he can sell it for thousands of yuan if he picks up some garbage in any dynasty, and if he is lucky, an object is worth millions, and hundreds of thousands of yuan is really nothing in his eyes.
Although Tang Dou felt a little wronged, he didn't hesitate, who let Erdan's mother be kind to Yang Deng's family.
Faced with Tang Dou's imminent expenditure of such a huge sum, Yang's family was silent, and they knew better than anyone why Tang Dou did this.
Seeing Tang Dou pick up the pen to write a check, Erdan's father hurriedly reached out and pressed Tang Dou, and said anxiously: "Big brother, I don't want to borrow money from you, you have already helped my family too much, even if my face is big, I am embarrassed to open my mouth to you again." ”
Tang Dou smiled: "Big brother, I still say what I said just now, as long as the child is okay and it is worth spending more money, you don't have to be polite to me anymore, if you really feel sorry for it, you can wait for the child to get better and return it to me slowly." ”
Erdan's father anxiously pushed away the rice bowl in front of him, picked up the burden that had been placed at his feet, put it on his knees, and untied the burden with three handfuls and two handfuls, revealing a copper incense burner the size of two ears and three palms.
Xuande furnace?
Seeing the quaint and vigorous shape, Tang Dou and Yang Deng's hearts moved.
Xuande furnace is the Ming Dynasty Xuande years cast copper incense burner, is the first time in the history of our country with red copper cast into the bronze, by the Xuande Emperor personally supervised, a total of 3,000 cast, the style imitates the firewood kiln, Ru kiln, official kiln, brother kiln, Jun kiln, Ding kiln and other famous kiln porcelain style, after casting in the palace in various places, there is also a small part of the reward and distribution to the emperor's relatives, the famous ministers and the temple of each large-scale incense.
Of course, this is to say that the Xuande furnace cast in the third year of Xuande is the originator of the Xuande furnace, which is extremely rare, and ordinary people only know its name but do not see its shape.
Most of the Xuande furnaces that people see today are imitated in the later period, and there are many fine products, especially in the Ming Zhengde period and the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the imitation production is more exquisite, and it also has great collection value.
However, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the imitations could not be compared with the previous works in terms of quality and shape, and they were completely reduced to ordinary folk items.
Erdan's father put the Xuande furnace on his lap on the table, looked at Tang Dou and said: "Big brother, I heard that you are selling antiques, you see if my Xuande furnace is worth anything, if it is worth some money, I will give it to you." ”
This is also a way, Tang Dou doesn't want Erdan's father to owe him a favor, since it is a business, then it is a matter of your affection and my willingness, and it can also solve Erdand's urgent need, why not do it.
Tang Dou smiled, and was not in a hurry to get started, but looked at Erdan's father and said, "This is a good idea, it just so happens that there is really a lack of Xuande furnace in my store." I take the liberty of asking, how did the eldest brother come to this Xuande furnace? ”
Asking the source is also particular, and the serious antique shop does not accept dirty things.
Erdan's father hesitated for a moment, and said: "Don't hide it from the eldest brother, this Xuande furnace was bought on the roadside in other provinces when I was a sports car, don't everyone say that collecting antiques can appreciate in value, we have no other skills except driving, so I want to collect something and sell it when Erdan goes to college in the future." That day I happened to meet an old farmer selling this thing on the side of the road, and when I bought it, it was still full of mud, and the old farmer said that it was unintentionally dug out of the soil. ”
Listening to the narration of Erdan's father, including Yang Deng's mother, his face became a little abnormal.
Tang Dou grinned, and secretly scolded this pit father's national collection era in his heart.
Yang Deng didn't care about the taboos, reached out and picked up the Xuande furnace in front of Erdan's father, turned over the bottom and took a look, and couldn't help but frown into a small Sichuan character with a good-looking brow.
Seeing the change in Yang Deng's expression, Erdan's father became nervous, and couldn't help but ask, "Sister, is this Xuande furnace fake?" ”
Yang Deng wanted to speak and stopped, and was about to hand the Xuande furnace in his hand to his father to touch it, Tang Dou hurriedly reached out and grabbed the lead, and said with a smile: "I'll take a look, I think this thing is good, and I like it in my heart as soon as I see it." ”
Tang Dou looked at the Xuande furnace with relish, and even took out the magnifying glass and the miniature strong light torch from his bag, and listened to it with his fingers on the wall of the furnace, looking very professional.
"Yes, the fetal quality is delicate, the treasure color connotation is pearlescent, and the appearance is surging, which is a good object. Big brother, I want this thing, you can make a price. Tang Dou smiled and put the Xuande furnace next to his hand, looked at Erdan's father and said.
"You...... Do you really want it? The second dad's face flashed with joy.
Tang Dou smiled: "Of course." ”
At this time, Yang Deng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
Tang Dou silently bumped her with his knee, and Yang Deng hesitated and closed his mouth.
Erdan's father hesitated for a long time, and then looked at Tang Dou cautiously and asked, "Big brother, do you think this thing is worth 400,000?" ”
Tang Dou laughed: "Big brother, if you only sell this item for 400,000, you will lose money, so let's do it, I will give you 600,000 yuan for this Xuande furnace, but I will only write a check for 400,000 yuan to you, as for the remaining 200,000 yuan, I can deduct it, what do you think?" ”
"Okay, it's really good, even if the big brother doesn't say it, the 200,000 will have to be repaid."
Tang Dou smiled, wrote a check for 400,000 yuan and handed it to Erdan's father, who didn't even care about eating, and rushed to Yuzhou overnight.
The second dan father left, and Yang Deng finally couldn't help muttering: "This fake is too unprofessional, and he doesn't even know that he dares to imitate the Xuande furnace." ”
Everyone in the antique shop knows that there is no horizontal word in the heart of the bottom of the Xuande furnace, so there is a saying that there is a province and a virtue.
Tang Dou touched Yang Deng with his knee again, picked up the Xuande furnace and turned it over, pointed to the bottom and winked at Yang Deng and said, "Take a closer look, look away, it's a scratch." ”
Yang shook his head lightly and said in a deep voice, "Boy, stop acting." The sound of this stove is dull and empty when it is placed on the table, and it is full of noise when you stretch out your fingers, so there must be a lot of trachoma on this stove, right? If it's a round today, you've been set. ”
It seems that nothing can be hidden from Yang Yiyan, who can't be seen, Tang Dou secretly gave Yang Yiyan a thumbs up, smiled and said: "Uncle Yang, if this is a game today, if you have the ability to pull that child back from the brink of life and death, will you be willing to be trapped?" ”
Yang was asked by Tang Dou at a glance, and pushed himself and others, if he changed himself to Tang Dou's position, would he be willing to take out the 600,000, and people would not know that he helped them afterwards?
