Chapter 14 Who is Du Niang?
After lunch, Wang Dong enlightened Zhang Yajun for a while, made sure that he was emotionally stable before sending him home, and then plunged into his room and continued to study the black box. However, the black box was even more tenacious than Wang Dong imagined, and he still couldn't break it after sawing off three hacksaws, so he finally had to give up for the time being and find a way later.
Yesterday afternoon, when I went to Gudu Street, although Wang Dong looked at the objects for a while, he did not consume the energy in the all-round instrument, and he had nothing to do in the afternoon.
In the morning, the suicide of jumping into the water in Xiangyang Lake quickly landed in the major media in Yangcheng, which also attached a group of photos of Wang Dong diving to save people, which caused a lot of repercussions on the Internet. Of course, Wang Dong, who is not very familiar with the Internet, does not know much about it, but he heard this text message in the news and did not pay much attention to it.
Take the bus to Gudu Street, Wang Dong went straight to the stall alley, the first to patronize is the stall owner who is full of old objects hanging on his mouth, a rare gimmick for a thousand years, but everything is yesterday, and there is nothing new, Wang Dong chatted with him for a while, learned that his surname is Qiu, and later bought an inconspicuous and very cheap 'Yamagatata' brush holder, which is regarded as arbitrarily taking care of Boss Qiu's business, and then went to the stall next door to pick up things.
The boss of the stall next door is not like Boss Qiu, full of old things, nor is he as enthusiastic as Boss Qiu, Ren Wangdong picks up things by himself, and doesn't say much, like an outsider. The things that this boss bought were biased towards the four treasures of the study, and there were more inkstones and pen washes on the stalls, and only a few old looking brushes.
After looking at it for a while, Wang Dong took a fancy to a pen wash, the glaze on the outside was blue and blue, and the spider web lines on the inside, and the craftsmanship was very exquisite. Wang Dong couldn't help but pick it up and take a closer look, and when he turned it upside down, there was a word 'Ya' below, which couldn't help but make Wang Dong stunned, how could there be a 'Ya' word?
Although Wang Dong's knowledge of antiques is very weak, after this period of bad supplementation, he also knows that antiques are generally paid by the year name, or they are not paid, how did this wash end up with the word 'Ya'? Looks nondescript.
With a hint of surprise, Wang Dong thought in his heart and asked in his heart: What is this? The all-round instrument in the mind operates, the scanning project urges energy, and a cold breath enters the pen wash of the word "Ya" through the fingers. Then, a flash of words flashed into my mind, '1854 year'.
1854? Wang Dong was stunned, and suddenly thought that the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty abdicated in 1911, didn't he say that this thing was an object of the Qing Dynasty? Doesn't that mean it's an old object? It's just that why is it just a 'Ya' word? Qing Dynasty porcelain
Isn't it generally the Qing Dynasty plus the year number and the year system?
Although he couldn't figure out the reason, Wang Dong still decided to buy it, so he asked the stall owner for the price: "Boss, what should I do with this thing?" ”
"A fixed price, 5,000 yuan, and no one less will be sold." The stall owner quoted.
"Boss, I really like this thing, do you think it can be cheaper?" Wang Dong bargained.
"Young man, a fixed price, five thousand yuan, I won't sell it for a penny." The stall owner's tone was very resolute.
"Boss, can't you really let a little? How about four thousand? Wang Dong tried his best to push the price down, but the stall owner still refused to give in to the price, and his attitude was very resolute, "Young man, Lao Huang does business like this, you get what you pay for, if this thing is worth 5,000 yuan, I won't ask you for 6,000 yuan, and I won't sell it to you for 4,000 yuan, understand?" ”
Wang Dong was stunned, he didn't expect that Boss Huang of this stall was quite eccentric, and there was no result in bargaining for a long time, Wang Dong could only grit his teeth and say: "Boss Huang, you wait for me, I'll go to the nearby ATM, and you must keep it for me." ”
"Done." Boss Huang answered and didn't say anything more.
Wang Dong hurriedly took out the money he earned from buying a watch yesterday, and then hurriedly returned to the stall to make a deal with Boss Huang, and wrote a simple receipt, and then went to Quyaxuan to ask Boss Ding to help take a look, what is this? Why is it so strange to make a payment?
Qu Yaxuan was next to it, and it didn't take five minutes to arrive, Boss Ding's shop was still very deserted, and Boss Ding, who was lying idle, saw Wang Dong coming in, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Wang, what good things did you bring today?" ”
"Boss Ding, I got a pen wash, you can help take a look, I think it's a good thing." Wang Dong went straight to the point and said.
"Okay, take it out and see." Boss Ding walked to the counter, put on reading glasses, and prepared to show Wang Dong. The pocket watch worn by General Chen Qian brought by Wang Dong yesterday made Boss Ding make a small profit, 6,000 yuan to buy, and 15,000 yuan to sell, making 9,000 yuan.
"Boss Ding, give." Wang Dong handed over the wrapped pen wash to Boss Ding, and didn't say anything else. Since Boss Ding can support this Qu Yaxuan, he must have a certain vision and strength, otherwise he would not have recognized the pocket watch of General Chen Qian that he brought last time.
Boss Ding opened the package and saw the pen wash inside, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. Seeing Boss Ding's reaction, Wang Dong was secretly complacent, only to see Boss Ding ask, "Xiao Wang, where did this thing come from?" The glaze and workmanship are good, huh? ”
"I bought it at a stall in the alley next door, and I didn't know what it was, and I bothered Boss Ding to help cut it off." Wang Dong humbly asked.
"Judging from the appearance, this wash should be the style of the Qing Dynasty pen wash, and I will take a look at the following payment." Boss Ding reversed the pen wash very stylishly, but when he saw that the payment below was the word 'Ya', he couldn't help but be stunned, obviously confused by this strange payment.
"Boss Ding, what do you say about this washing?" Wang Dong asked patiently.
"Xiao Wang, to tell you the truth, I have been engaged in the antique industry for ten years, but I have really never seen porcelain with such a payment. It is inferred from the shape of the vessel that it should be an object in the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, and the inscription of the Xianfeng year is generally in italics, and the six-character inscription of the Xianfeng year of the Qing Dynasty is unheard of, and the word "Ya" has never been heard of! Boss Ding sighed a little, and finally shook his head and said, "Xiao Wang, I can't get this thing for sure." ”
"It's okay, there's Boss Lawdin." Wang Dong was a little disappointed, he thought that Boss Ding would say a thing or two, but he didn't expect to be empty, so he silently put away the pen.
Boss Ding saw that Wang Dong was a little lost, and said with relief: "Xiao Wang, what we eat in this line is eyesight, it is it to hit the eyes, and it is also it to pick up leaks, don't be too persistent in everything, don't be obsessed." ”
"I know, Boss Ding." Wang Dong nodded in response and took his leave.
Out of Qu Yaxuan, Wang Dong was thinking about who to help him take a look at this wash, 5,000 yuan bought, but he couldn't just smash it in his hand, and after scanning skills, Wang Dong had already determined that this was an object from the Qing Dynasty, and it was determined that this was an old object, and now he only lacked a pair of discerning eyes.
Do you want to go to Bao and Zhai? Thinking of what happened yesterday, Wang Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly, I'm afraid that if I haven't entered the door of Bao and Zhai today, I will be driven away by the apprentices in the store, right? As for the shop called Jubaozhai where Wang Dong once worked in the West District, Wang Dong didn't plan to go, and Wang Dong didn't know other antique shops.
Helplessly, in the end, Wang Dong could only wash home with the pen he bought for 5,000 yuan.
When I got home, my sister saw Wang Dong coming back with a cloth package, and asked in surprise, "Brother, what strange things did you bring back?" ”
"A pen wash, all my belongings bought back, is a good thing, but no one else knows it." Wang Dong said with some regret.
"Good stuff? What's good? Show me. Wang Xiaowei walked over excitedly, and Wang Dong carefully opened the cloth wrap, revealing the pen wash inside.
Seeing the brush wash of the blue blue spider web pattern, Wang Xiaowei couldn't help but admire: "It's so beautiful!" ”
"If you buy it for 5,000 yuan, can it not be beautiful?" Wang Dong said jokingly.
"What? Five thousand? Wang Xiaowei was taken aback, "Can this thing be worth five thousand yuan?" ”
"Of course not." Wang Dong said very confidently: "This thing is far more than 5,000 yuan, it is an old object of the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately no one knows it now, and I have a question that I haven't figured out." ”
"What's the problem?" After being shocked, Wang Xiaowei asked curiously.
"It's the problem of the payment, the Qing Dynasty porcelain is generally the Qing Dynasty plus the year and then the year, but the payment under this pen wash is a 'Ya' word, I think when this problem is clarified, this thing will definitely be sold at a good price." Wang Dong said very confidently.
"Brother, are you playing with antiques? It's not going to be an eye-to-eye this time, is it? Wang Xiaowei asked unconvinced.
"How can you be eye-catching, your brother and I have it" Wang Dong's mouth was quick for a while, and he almost didn't say anything about the all-round instrument, and hurriedly closed it at the end.
"What's there?" Wang Xiaowei asked.
"Nothing." Wang Dong didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he changed the topic and asked, "Xiaowei, do you know any way to find out how many antique shops we have in Yangcheng?" Where are the addresses? ”
"It's simple, just ask Du Niang." Wang Xiaowei said in a piece of cake for why it was a big deal.
"Who is Du Niang? Is it in our community? Wang Dong thought about it, the neighbor he knew didn't have Du Niang! Wang Xiaowei was speechless for a while by Wang Dong's strange question, and explained that Wang Dong understood that Du Niang was not a person!
With the help of Wang Xiaowei, Wang Dong quickly figured out that there were five antique shops in Yangcheng and their addresses, and later saw that the time was almost five o'clock, and then packed up and prepared to go out.
It's time to eat, Wang Xiaowei couldn't help but say: "Brother, it's time to eat later, and you go now, when you arrive, the antique shop is estimated to be closed." ”
"Oh, I'm not going to an antique shop, the leader asked me to accompany her to meet a customer tonight." Wang Dong, who was wearing shoes, explained.
"Sister Li asked you out again? Didn't we just talk together last night? Wang Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wang Dong with an expression that you are in danger, Wang Dong didn't bother to explain, put on his shoes and went out.
