Chapter 222, Hailao porcelain

Said Sanyuzha said in his ear! "The happiest thing is to meet Brother You Fang, who is slow and capable, and is so fierce to me!" I still wanted to go on a date with you, but unfortunately you left later

What do you mean by dating? Although You Fang didn't know exactly what she wanted to say, she had always watched American TV series, so she quickly let go of her hand and said: "Go back to Yale to study, there must be many handsome guys who want to date you!" When you have time to come back and play, I treat you to something delicious

Wu Yunuo pulled You Fang's sleeve and said, "Brother You Fang, where were you during this time, did you go back to Chongqing?" ”

You Fang lied, smiled and said: "I have been staying in Yibin, I have revisited the places painted in your grandfather's album, and it was not long before I returned to Chongqing, less than ten days, and then I came to Beijing to see you off." [Full text reading] "The five albums I promised you will definitely be handed over to you in half a year." When the time comes, test your eyesight to see if you can distinguish the authenticity from the fake? ”

He didn't deliberately want to hide anything, this was the instinctive caution of walking the rivers and lakes, if according to the itinerary of "You Fang", he and Hua Xiaoxian returned to the dog chair guest house from Yibin ten days ago. Wu Yufang replied with a smile: "Even if I can recognize it, I won't say it, so it seems that Brother You Fang is clever!" ,, Maybe we don't have to wait until the winter break, we can meet. You Fang was stunned: "Huh? You're going to skip school? That's not good! He instinctively thought of Xiao Yu's time in England, when he had skipped school and ran to Guangzhou, where he was "taken in" by himself under the guidance of Liu Li. for half a year. Then there was an awkward quarrel at home, and it was Liu Li who persuaded Xiao's parents to let her transfer to Guangzhou.

Wu Yunuo said with a curl of the corners of his mouth: "Brother You Fang." You don't know Yale's credit system, do you? I have been in school for two years and have completed all 36 required credits for all three years. ”

You Fang: "Isn't that another year?" But don't be abandoned, don't always think about hanging out to play or picking up handsome guys, I regret it now, I listened to your grandfather's teachings too little at school

Wu Yu pouted and said, "I've inquired." You're skipping class! ”

You Fang smiled helplessly: "Yes." I'm skipping classes, but you're not, there is a stinging old Chinese saying, "You can't read a book unless you borrow it", don't do that. ”

Yu, chat: "I am the best in our class. I also study the hardest, the teachers think I am a genius, and some people say that it is because of my Chinese ancestry, don't talk about this, Brother You Fang, I will definitely come to see you. ”

When Wu Yutan pulled You Fang's sleeve like a coquettish talker. Xue Qinan had been standing patiently watching from the side, his expression was the tolerance and helplessness of the elders, and then he said, "Jade, swollen." Don't pester the party, it's time for us to go through customs. There will be a chance to meet in the future. "You Fang, take care, after you get your degree, if you want to come to the United States, don't forget to contact us."

The grandfather and grandson went in, and You Fang waved goodbye until he couldn't see the figure, and then he left a little stunned.

After more than a year, You Fang came to Panjiayuan again, and it is still very crowded here. But for the "old man" of You Fang. It feels much more deserted than during the Beijing Olympics, especially the bulk goods stalls on the roadside, and there are obviously not as many customers as before.

It's no wonder that others have become a distribution center for all kinds of quality and fakes in recent years. People who want to come to Taobao have suffered many times and have been deceived. Naturally, there are fewer comes.

But there are always those "collectors" with dreams of money. "I come here every day to make it not too depressed.

You Fang walked past a stall selling miscellaneous utensils, and saw that there were several "Zigang" jade plaques on each stall, and he could only smile secretly in his heart. If the carving is a little more meticulous, the materials are a little more exquisite, and the author's real efforts are condensed, these things will not be able to become real cultural relics after thousands of years. It's a pity, this is what Wu Lao told his father You Zuming.

I actually ran into a few acquaintances on the way. Nodding and greeting him: Little wanderer, are you back? It felt like he had only seen it a while ago, and it gave him a sense of familiarity that he hadn't seen in a long time.

Before I knew it, I walked to the shop where I used to work. The boss is not there, and the guy is a clever guy who is full of cleverness, but at a glance it looks too clever and has a sneaky eye. It's not good to do this line of work to make people feel too smart, and it's not good to shop for antiques, most of them think that their vision is better than yours, and they will take advantage of it, and this young man seems to be a little bit of a net, and he hasn't learned to pretend to be stupid.

As soon as the guy saw You Fang coming in, he immediately greeted enthusiastically: "This boss, what do you want to buy?" We've got a new arrival. ”

You Fang smiled and said: "Brother, in this kind of place, it is most taboo to say a new word, you should tell me that there are old things that have been hidden for a long time." ”

The guy was stunned for a moment, and someone behind him heard the words and walked out. As soon as he saw You Fang's eyes, his eyes lit up, and then he opened his mouth and exclaimed: "Little wanderer! Your appearance hasn't changed, but people seem to have completely changed, and I don't even dare to admit it! All these years of wealth, right? It must be rich, and there are few people like you in Manpan Homeland! ,, come on, come and sit in the back, let's have a good chat, Xiaolinzi. Brew tea quickly. ”

The boss hasn't changed, it's still the one with the original surname Ni. Boss Ni often thinks about his good after You Fang leaves, where can I invite such a good and capable guy as Xiao Youzi? has his ability, and he has a little capital to be the boss. Goodbye You Fang has a natural little "Han", crying makes You Fang feel very comfortable, and then chatting with the boss of the fluke is heartbroken

Boss Ni asked You Fang what the two Ni had done, and You Fang replied calmly: "I went to study." Learn some history and archaeology, recharge, and do some collecting and trading along the way. ”

Boss Ni praised: "Okay, young people should learn more and seek a good position in the rivers and lakes, your brother and I have suffered a loss in this regard." I can only stick to this shop here and eat with my mouth. Look at those experts, you can usually make money by opening an appraisal certificate, and we are no worse than them when we play this set. It's just that no one recognizes you. ”

You Fang said with a smile: "You can't say that, the level of people is no worse than you and me, and they paid more back then, and the rivers and lakes are not for nothing." And if you don't play well, it's easy to smash your own signboard. ”

Boss Ni leaned over and whispered, "Little wanderer." Since you are still doing this business, you suddenly came to Panjiayuan today, are you looking for something and want to make a move, if you have good goods, let me take a look first. I'll give you a fair price, and you don't have to go around sewing it around. ”

You Fang didn't plan to do business, but after hearing what Boss Ni said, he thought about it and said, "It's not anything good, I recently got two things and wanted to make a move." You give me a price, I'm in a hurry to wait for the money. As he spoke, he took out two gold bars and placed them on the table.

Boss Ni looked slightly disappointed, and then smiled: "It turned out to be a yellow croaker, this thing is said to be an antique, and it is a little reluctant." But it does hold its value. And now I don't see much, after the liberation, almost all of them were collected by the state to make gold reserves, and most of them have long been melted "How much money do you want?" ”

You Fang: "It's a real price for you, two eights."

Boss Ni: "70,000, you have to let me earn it." ”

You Fang: "Deal!" Then both laughed.

After the deal was completed, You Fang asked again: "Boss, what are the good goods recently?" ”

Boss Ni smiled mysteriously: "That is, you come to ask, I still don't want to take it out, the guy who collected it online is genuine!" He went to the back of the warehouse and pulled out an inconspicuous brown paper bag, opened several layers, and took out a cup. Pale cyan glaze with 100 pieces of garbage and straight cylinder. There are rust marks on the lap feet.

You Fang's eyes narrowed as soon as he saw this thing: "Brother kiln's Song porcelain, this is not right." It's not an eye-catching thief's light, and it's not like the new light unearthed from the net, why do I have a fishy breath? There are still two pieces of this glaze missing, as if they were broken down, which is a pity. ”

Your boss nodded and said, "Brother You, you are really good eyesight, you can see the doorway, and then take a closer look, what is the origin of this object?" We didn't sell anything like this in our shop. ”

You Fang measured it for a long time, and then realized: "This is Hailao porcelain!" ”

The so-called Hailao porcelain is porcelain salvaged from ancient shipwrecks. Since ancient times, there has been a saying about the Maritime Silk Road, in which merchant ships sailed from the southeast coast through the Taiwan Strait through the South China Sea to sell Chinese products to Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East and beyond. It is not so much the Silk Road as the porcelain road, after the Song Dynasty, the goods shipped for export are mainly porcelain,

Since the Song Dynasty, there has been a special production of porcelain for export. The shape and ornamentation of such artifacts often carry typical exotic characteristics, but the craftsmanship is standard ancient Chinese ceramic firing technology.

In ancient times, it was very risky to go to sea, piracy was only secondary, and the greatest danger was unpredictable wind and waves. But since ancient times, there have been people who have done the business of killing heads, and there are many people who are willing to take risks if they have huge profits.

Over the years, I don't know how many merchant ships loaded with porcelain have been swallowed by the vast sea, quietly sleeping on the bottom of the sea, and the Yangtze River estuary is distributed along the east coast, especially in the South China Sea.

In modern times, with the advancement of scientific and technological means, sonar, magnetometers and other instruments can be used to detect the seabed, and many people have also started the idea of searching for treasure in the ocean. In the West, shipwreck exploration has always been one of the most enthusiastic "careers" for many explorers, and in recent years this trend has also spread to China's coastal areas. There are a lot of people who are doing these things in the name of scientific research. Not enough attention has been paid to it, and the vast sea is very difficult to manage, and the excavation on the ground cannot be caught.

The cost of treasure hunting on the bottom of the sea is high, the investment is large, and it is not easy to find a shipwreck, but once it is successful, the harvest is quite large, think about the batch of a ship's ancient porcelain? At least no less than 10,000 pieces, many of which are still well preserved, as long as they can be fished up, their value is even no less than opening an ancient imperial mausoleum!

Boss Ni smiled: "Yes, it's Hailao porcelain, I heard that it was from the Zhongsha Islands in the South China Sea." Recently, a batch came over, and it looks like a boat has been taken out. ”

You Fang frowned and said, "This object is a bit broken, although it looks intact and unbroken." But there are two small pieces missing from the noodles, not the traces of bumps, it may be a kind of thing with coral or oysters, how can it be broken if you are not careful when cleaning it? This thing didn't break when it sank 800 years ago, but now it's good, but after it gets out of the water, it hurts people! ”

Boss Ni sighed: "Who said it wasn't!" It is estimated that there are too many things coming out, and there are not enough people to clean up. "But the good goods can't fall into my hands, brother, are you interested?"

You Fang looked at it for a long time and said, "I want it, give me a real price." ”

Boss Ni: "I don't have anything to go around in circles with you, even if I am unlucky to meet an expert, the price is 120,000." ”

You Fang took out another gold bar: "Add a net,

Boss Ni: "That's almost?"

You Fang shook his head with a smile: "I didn't bargain with you, don't make me too ruthless."

Boss Ni patted him on the shoulder: "Okay." Deal, who called us old friends

Boss Ni wants to stay with You Fang for dinner before leaving. The two of them looked for a place to have a good drink nearby, but the tour party finished "business." But he said goodbye, he didn't plan to come to Boss Ni to catch up, but he just passed by.

Before leaving, Boss Ni sighed and said: "Recently, the wind has been tight, Qiuyinzhai in the antique city has been sealed, and there is a task force that doesn't know what to investigate." The unearthed things are not easy to come in, and the biggest batch of genuine goods that Pan Jiayuan has entered in the past few days is these Hailao porcelain. ”

You Fang also sighed and said: "After the scourge on the mountain is over, the scourge has gone to the bottom of the sea, and the tomb robbery has been too rampant over the years, and the things in the soil are almost bad."

Boss Ni mentioned Qiuyinzhai, its two owners, Crazy Fox and Pan Qiaomu, both died at the hands of You Fang. And this shop is named after Li Qiuping and Lin Yin. There is an inextricable relationship with the tour party. However, he has never been there, so let's take a look, or I won't have a chance to see him again.

Qiuyinzhai is located in the large antique city not far from the main gate of Panjiayuan, the grade of antiques in Panjiayuan is from high to low, there are roadside stalls, greenhouse stalls, and pedestrian street shops, which feel similar to the vegetable market and pedestrian commercial street, but the things sold are different.

The most upscale is this kind of shop in the city. Rents are expensive, and powerful merchants will open their doors here, like shopping malls or boutiques.

You Fang rarely came here when he was in Panjiayuan, and he didn't even enter this building much, he was just a gangster back then, and there were not many opportunities to sew here. In a store like this, the business on the surface is very "regular", and most of the important goods come with a certificate of authenticity, and many of them are indeed genuine, even if they are very clever, but the transaction price is very expensive. It's not that the original little wanderer can afford it.

He came to the second floor of the antique city, and saw Qiuyinzhai diagonally opposite the staircase, a very magnificent official book plaque, and the signature and seal of the writer next to it, which was written by a vice chairman of the Chinese Calligraphers Association. The scale of this store is not a total of five storefronts connected together, and it is opened up into a large trading house, which shows that the owner is very powerful, but now the left and right doors are sealed. Only the middle door was open, and through the glass, many people in uniform could be seen busily counting something.

You Fang took a look and found that there were at least three kinds of uniforms, including police, industrial and commercial law enforcement, and cultural relics inspection. He just came to see it, maybe for that sigh. sighed in his heart and walked through Qiuyinzhai, unfortunately, he met a female police officer with a heroic temperament, a promoted posture, and a beautiful face who came out of the gate. Both of them were stunned, and neither of them spoke for a moment, and their expressions were a little strange.

She was once a girl, now she is a woman, and this subtle transformation is something he has witnessed. You Fang once wondered, what will happen when we meet again? But I couldn't figure it out, but I didn't expect to meet again so soon, and it seemed like a sudden avoidance. Maybe there was a force in the dark that was pulling his footsteps, and it was about to crash into here.

Maybe I thought too much before I said goodbye, but when I actually saw her, the scene seemed to be different from what I had imagined before. Xie Xiaoxian's eyes were a little red when he saw him, and he took a deep breath and then regained his composure, glaring at him faintly. Tiger said with a pretty face: Little wanderer, why are you here again? ”

See the way she looks. You Fang lost his mind for a moment, and he returned to the scene on the street in Zhongguancun a few years ago, when he was accidentally caught by her while selling discs. Looking at her carefully, it seems that she has not changed at all, and it seems to have changed a lot, and the taste of it is only clear to You Fang himself

You Fang also pretended to be calm and replied: "I will go back to Beijing to send Mr. Xue back to the United States, and they will go online in the morning." Nothing to do left and right. Just come and take a look, alas, this place

Xie Xiaoxian pouted slightly: "I haven't gotten off work yet, but I'm not as busy here as Chongqing, can I wait for a while?" There's still half an hour to go

You Fang didn't say that he came to her, and he really didn't come to her, but Xie Xian said so. He also nodded like a ghostly envoy and said, "Okay, I'll just walk outside the building for a while, you are not in a hurry." By the way, what do you want to eat at night? It's been so long, and it's been you every time. I just remembered that I hadn't asked you once. ”

The implication was that he had tacitly come to her. Xie Xiaoxian lowered his head and said, "You are familiar with this place." It's up to you

I don't know if this was an accident or an expected dinner, You Fang found the most upscale restaurant in his memory near Panjiayuan, ordered all the dishes that Xie Xiaoxian liked to eat, and asked for a quiet small private room. When the two of them sat down to eat. The distance is not far or close, of course, it is not face-to-face like ordinary guests, but sitting side by side, but separated by a distance of about a foot, and the position where each other can reach out is similar to the scene when I ate in Chongqing last time.

The conversation between them was quite natural, as if nothing had been born, but there was obviously something wrong with the eyes, and the attentive onlooker must have been able to see the signs, and there was a little bit of understanding and pretending to be confused. You Fang first asked, "Has the work been going well recently?" What is the gain from seizing Qiuyinzhai? ”
