Chapter Seventy-Five: Yucheng (4)
After greeting for a while, there were more people downstairs, Liu Feng and the others confessed, and went downstairs to prepare to start the auction. ()
"City Lord, the guests have arrived, let's start!" Liu Yanxi walked to Liu Feng's side in a sweat, as the main person in charge of the Liu family's business, Liu Yanxi was naturally not idle, and kept downstairs greeting businessmen from all over the place.
"It's okay, Fourth Uncle! Let's schedule the opening show! Liu Feng said
When Liu Yanxi heard this, he walked to the middle of the bidding table, knock! Ring the bell and gong, and say, "Ladies and gentlemen! In the next is the head of Yucheng Liujia business, responsible for today's auction, thank you very much for coming, to participate in the first porcelain appreciation and bidding conference in Yucheng, and then there are some small programs for everyone to enjoy and have a pastime. ”
After speaking, Liu Yanxi shook around, and the sound of Zhong Le also sounded, Liu Feng couldn't get involved in this matter, in his past and present life, he knew nothing about music theory, and he didn't know anything about music theory, and Guo Chongtao was choreographed for music and dance, and more than 40 women from the Southern Tang Dynasty danced on the stage, so that many people present felt that it was worth spending five taels to participate in the auction, you must know that every seat in the Qilin Building is not cheap, and the Tianzi private room upstairs costs thirty taels a day, Although downstairs is a distribution of three plane stairs, a square table can accommodate three people, and its price is three taels.
With the performance of music and dance, everyone in the lobby also slowly relaxed and appreciated, Liu Feng also combined resources, and invited the dancers of the Sishen Building to the Qilin Building, the dance of the southeast and northwest, each came to a section, in this era, such a large-scale music and dance performance is probably only the prince and minister are fortunate to watch
With the end of the music and dance, the soapy officials quickly stepped forward to arrange the bidding venue, a piece of exquisite porcelain vases to participate in the bidding, to the stage has already been arranged on the booth, has already been exhibited four seasons series, grass flower series, black background white flowers typical northern porcelain, etc., on the bidding table on a word!
The two brothers Liu Yanxi and Liu Yanbei walked up to the bidding stage, and the two of them were also dressed up today, wearing a robe of Shu brocade, walked to the center of the stage, and sang: "Everyone! The porcelain auction in Yucheng starts now! The first piece is to bid for the first fine porcelain vase of our Liujia porcelain kiln, 'incorruptible and virtuous', which is also the first three-dimensional underglaze colored porcelain fired by our porcelain kiln. ”
After a pause, Liu Yanxi said again: "All the porcelain bottles fired at the mouth of Liujiayao are limited, such as this piece of honesty and virtue, there are only twelve pieces in the world, and today it will be sold for the eleventh and twelfth two pieces of 'honesty and virtue', and there is a seal carving of my Liujiayao under the glaze at the bottom of the porcelain bottle." In the future, it can also be used for you to test whether the porcelain vase is produced by Liujiayaokou. ”
Liujiayao's porcelain limited edition, everyone has long heard of it, today is officially announced, people who do porcelain know that only a small number of exquisite porcelain vases will have the value of collection. The rules of the auction were introduced to everyone two days ago when they were appreciating porcelain.
After emphasizing it a little, Liu Yanxi stopped selling Guanzi and said directly: "A bottle of 'Honest and Honest', the starting price is fifty taels of silver, and the price increase is not less than three taels each time!" There is no limit to the number of bids! Let's get started! ”
"Oops! It's so expensive! "Although the porcelain of Liujiayao is much more exquisite than that of other kilns, most of the population in the north is still starving, and fifty taels of silver can buy more than 100 stone grains, which is enough for ten families to eat without worry for a year.
Although several porcelain vases in the Southern Tang Dynasty were sold at high prices in Liu Yanbei, the wealthy merchants who came to the auction site were all upstairs, and the merchants downstairs were all merchants, and they could not get involved in this kind of luxury goods.
In this regard, Liu Yanbei has long expected that at the appreciation meeting two days ago, there was no price marking, just for today's preparation, he stepped forward and said loudly: "The porcelain vase fired at the mouth of Liujia kiln, I want to compare the porcelain vase at the mouth of other kilns, there is no need to discuss the degree of exquisiteness, and each style of the porcelain vase of Liujia kiln has a limit of firing, and there are also porcelain experts here, and they should also be able to understand how many times such a beautiful large-scale copy porcelain must be fired to succeed!" ”
The people below still don't buy it, Liu Yanbei said with a smile: "Celadon white porcelain colored porcelain, porcelain species are different, Liujia kiln mouth can fire exquisite porcelain bottles, not overnight, the hard work of three generations of the Liu family, now only a small achievement!" Moreover, the royal family of the Later Han and Tang Dynasty has the practice of collecting fine porcelain, maybe the porcelain vase at today's auction has entered the eyes of the royal family, then you will have a step to the sky! ”
Although Liu Yanbei was jokingly saying, everyone in the hall was all human spirits, and they had already evaluated the value of colored porcelain in their hearts, and they had already recognized the value of colored porcelain in their hearts, otherwise they would not have spent three taels of silver to come to the scene. The tourists who listened to the ears nodded secretly, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for, just by virtue of the decoration of this store, wouldn't it be a loss to sell cheap things?
"Everyone, don't hesitate any longer, such a beautiful colored porcelain, if you miss it, you won't have it anymore!"
Liu Yanbei's encouragement, the bidding scene returned to the original, and with the tentative bidding of a merchant in the hall, the bidding meeting officially began.
Liu Yanxi and Liu Yanbei The two brothers are worthy of being the principals of the south and north in Liujiabao, almost all the businessmen in the hall know the two of them, and the auction skills of self-taught are slowly proficient. The auction is in full swing.
Whenever a porcelain vase is successfully sold, Liu Yanbei loses no time in singing loudly: "Where is the porcelain vase obtained by the big businessman, and the soapy official will also repeat it three times, and the villagers outside the Qilin Building can also hear it, which also makes the atmosphere of the auction even more hot."
With the singing, the auction is also coming to an end, Liu Yanbei threw out a bombshell, said: "Next, will bid for the latest successful firing of Liujiayaokou's 'Crane Dance', which is also the mystery of the Liu family, the only one that survives in the world, Liujiayao will no longer burn the 'Crane Dance' This porcelain vase will be the world's best sound, it is the pinnacle of my Liu family porcelain, and my Liu family is afraid that I will not be able to fire such a superb porcelain within ten years." ”
With Liu Yanbei's words, the 'Crane Dance' finally met with everyone, the completely three-dimensional hollow porcelain style, breaking everyone's concept, in the current stage of everyone is depicting and painting, Liu Jiayao completely subverted the concept of porcelain firing, like a delicate jade carving, with the light shining on the body of the 'Crane Dance', the vivid double cranes, so that everyone is more excited.
As soon as the 'Crane Dance' came out, the audience was silent, and then there was an uproar, the porcelain sold in front of it, although it was three-dimensional colored porcelain, but the color was still a little monotonous, and only in the local hollow, etc., and the bright red of the 'Crane Dance' plum blossoms, the black and white crane body, made everyone dumbfounded, and they were not even sure that the porcelain was placed on the stage.
When Liu Yanbei finished speaking, the starting price was 100 taels, and the bidding price should not be less than 5 taels, the scene of the auction was completely ignited, but the bidders were mainly in the private room upstairs.
At this time, the people in Yucheng who were in the private room upstairs, stupidly in front of this scene, they were also crane dance", although they were also amazed, but they didn't expect that the "crane dance" would bring such a strong impact to everyone. In fact, Liu Feng himself was also surprised, he expected that the appearance of "Crane Dance" would surprise and crazy the world, but he didn't expect such a hot scene.
