Chapter 52: Bidding and Tea Tasting
"Xiaodong, you want to wash this money and sell it?" Mr. Cai, who was very interested in collecting, took the lead in asking, and Wang Dong nodded in affirmation. Such a move couldn't help but make Brother De's eyes light up, and Mr. Cai next to him saw that Brother De's eyes were shining, and took the lead in saying with favors: "Brother De, will you give this washing and saving people to the younger brother?" Then he said to Wang Dong: "Xiaodong, how about selling me two million?" ”
"Lao Cai, I also like this wash very much, it's really hard to give up, and it's a historical witness of an important period, I want to use it to do some research, don't fight with me." Brother De didn't follow, and said to Wang Dong in a blink of an eye: "Xiaodong, according to the market, the pen wash porcelain in the Xianfeng period is almost about 800,000, but this pen wash is a reward in the Xianfeng period, and it is closely related to the secret history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. ”
"Brother De, you are giving me a big bloodletting, such a rare good thing, I am bound to get it, two million six hundred thousand." Mr. Cai said through gritted teeth. Wang Dong, who was standing between the two of them, was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect that this pen wash would be worth two million, and with the bidding of Mr. Cai and Uncle De, it is still rising, and now it has reached two million .6 million!
If you have 2.6 million yuan, you can immediately redeem the Hetian seed jade you deserve, and it will also be a matter of your parents' mind.
"Lao Cai, I won't intercede with you today, this wash is going to be decided, three million." Brother De said with a look of imperativeness.
Mr. Cai was taken aback, he didn't expect Brother De to add 400,000 in one breath, which means to give up on me, it seems that Brother De is really going to decide, but this is a royal reward, and there is this secret history behind it, it can definitely be said to be unique, three million is definitely not expensive. I saw Lao Cai gritting his teeth, with a look of making up his mind, and he also looked like he had to buy this wash, and said: "Brother De, it's not that my Lao Cai doesn't give face today, I really like the pen wash, and I am willing to pay 3.2 million." ”
Mr. Cai did not relent, and the price increase of the two again caused Wang Dongru to be electrocuted, and in the blink of an eye, the price reached three million, which greatly exceeded his expectations.
"Lao Cai, it seems that today is going to die to the end." Brother De laughed heartily, his stubble moved, and he spit out softly: "Four million." ”
Lao Cai smiled bitterly and frowned, knowing that there was no intention of competing any further, Brother De was Wang Ba's heart to eat the scales, so he could only give up his hand helplessly, and said: "Brother De, Lao Cai, I am willing to bow to the wind." "It's not that Mr. Cai can't take out the four million, but he knows that even if he raises the price again, Brother De will continue to raise the price, and he will make the relationship between himself and Brother De stiff, and spending four million to buy a wash is indeed a bit high, so he gave up.
"Haha." Brother De laughed twice, with a look of giving up on me, he took out a pen and a trap check from his arms, wrote a few strokes, and then tore them off and handed them to Wang Dong, Wang Dong took it, and said solemnly: "Uncle De, the pen wash belongs to you." ”
"Xiaodong, you're lucky, you picked up a big leak! Four million to buy you this wash, you will definitely not suffer. Uncle De said.
"Thanks to Uncle De's love." Wang Dong said modestly.
"I really don't know if you guys who play and collect are missing a tendon in your brain, isn't it just a pen wash? Is it necessary to fight for the head to break the bloodstream? Lao Ma loves calligraphy, but he is really not interested in antiques, and he is a little scornful of Lao Cai and Brother De's bidding.
Lao Cai and Brother De looked at Lao Ma together, and said secretly: "If you are not here, you don't know how happy it is." ”
"Brother Wang, you are really good, you picked up a big leak, unlike me, you have always been an eye, and the only two times you picked up a leak is a small leak in the sesame eye." Ye Wenhao said with some envy, Ye Wenhao is not short of money, he plays antiques all for interest, not to make money.
"Where? Brother Ye laughed, it's all luck for me. Wang Dong said modestly.
"Uncle De said that luck is also part of strength." Ye Wenhao said stubbornly, Wang Dong smiled and did not defend.
After chatting in the study for a while, Mr. Cai invited and said, "Okay, let's go, go down and have a cup of tea, it is estimated that Lao Ma will already complain about a stomach of bitter water." ”
"Haha." Brother De received a treasure today, and he was in a good mood, and then Lao Cai's sarcasm continued to sarcastically say: "Lao Ma is not just complaining about a stomach full of bitter water, Lao Cai, you don't invite him to tea, I'm afraid that Lao Ma will break off with you." ”
"Brother De, I don't believe that you don't think about Lao Cai's big red robe, don't you drink it later?" The old horse was not angry.
"Yes, Lao Ma, let's go together and squeeze Lao Cai's big red robe to the bottom." As soon as Brother De saw Lao Ma squeezing him, he immediately turned his head to the camp, joined hands with Lao Ma, and unanimously squeezed Lao Cai's big red robe.
"I don't have much else, it's just a lot, you can pack up and take some back later, don't say that we Yangcheng people are not hospitable." Lao Cai said not to be outdone.
Later, Lao Cai took them downstairs and sat on the sofa in the living room, and then Lao Cai took out his treasured red robe, brewed tea, dripped water three times, and poured it with small Ruochen cups respectively. It's just that Wang Dong and Ye Wenhao don't understand tea, like a cow drinking water, which caused Lao Ma's heartache and shouted: "Bad practice, it's really a good thing." ”
In his previous life, Wang Dong had heard the Taoist master say that there were many things to drink tea, and at that time, there was a shortage of war, how could there be any good tea to drink, and it would be good to drink boiled water, so Wang Dong was limited to a little impression of paying attention to it, and he still didn't know how to drink it.
Lao Cai looked at Ye Wenhao, who was drinking tea, and an idea popped up in his heart, and said, "Brother De, don't you mind testing you, a half-footed disciple?" For Mr. Cai's words, Wang Dong couldn't help but sneer, Mr. Cai This is a typical chicken belly, he couldn't bid for Uncle De, and now he is thinking of a way to make Uncle De's disciple lose face.
"It's okay, Wen Hao has not been in the house for a long time, he is not good at learning, it doesn't matter if he can't say it, Lao Cai, you can ask with confidence." Brother De couldn't see Lao Cai's cautious eyes, a Tai Chi put all the responsibility on Ye Wenhao, saying that it was his master who taught well, and if he didn't say it right, it was that he was not good at learning, which made Ye Wenhao very depressed, and he felt like he was shot while lying down.
"Come, Wen Hao, just tell me about the cup and this teapot in your hand, do you have any explanation?" Uncle Cai asked with a smile, as soon as these words came out, Ye Wenhao, who was originally depressed, seemed to be as energetic as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, because Uncle De had only told him about the teapot and teacup two days ago, and immediately looked at the small cup in his hand and said: "Uncle Cai, this cup and teapot are very common styles, the pot is called Mengchen pot, and the cup is called Ruochen cup, which is a more popular tea set on the market, this tea set of yours should be purple sand, and it is old, it should be the last year of the Qing Dynasty, it is very precious......"
When Uncle De saw Ye Wenhao talking eloquently, he nodded with satisfaction. Uncle Ma also nodded, he loves the tea ceremony, and this tea set is indeed a purple clay pot. Uncle Cai continued to ask: "However, Wen Hao, there are two times, I don't know if I know how to choose a good teapot?" ”
Ye Wenhao, who was still complacent about his answer just now, was asked by Uncle Cai, and his face suddenly collapsed, the standard for measuring the teapot? Uncle De didn't tell himself! I could only say helplessly: "Uncle Cai, Wen Hao is a shallow learner and doesn't know." ”
"Haha." Uncle Cai laughed twice, "Wen Hao, learn from Brother De well, you need to be improved." ”
"Yes, Uncle Cai taught." Ye Wenhao said humbly, this time Brother De couldn't hold his face, glared at Ye Wenhao fiercely, and said: "I tell you to read more books usually, but you can't listen to them, and now you know that there are very few books, right?" As soon as he finished speaking, before Ye Wenhao could express his position, Uncle De changed his words and asked, "Xiaodong, let's talk about it, how to choose a good teapot?" ”
Wang Dong, who was depressed when he saw Ye Wenhao eating deflated, was depressed, but he didn't expect that he was also lying down and being shot, and Ye Wenhao, who was depressed next to him, was psychologically comfortable, it turned out that he was lying down and was shot, and he didn't know that he was alone. Uncle De This is a typical gateway to see, although he doesn't know what the relationship between Lao Cai and Wang Dong is, but Wang Dong was brought by Lao Cai, Wang Dong can't say it, which is equivalent to eliminating Lao Cai's face.
But Wang Dong really doesn't know? Unfortunately, how to choose a good teapot Wang Dong happened to know, not that Wang Dong studied the depth of the tea ceremony, but when sorting out the insurance information given by Uncle Cai to the antiques, Wang Dong curiously consulted some other information on the antiques, among which there happened to be this.
I saw that Wang Dong was not in a hurry, and said eloquently, "To choose a pot, you have to start from four aspects, referred to as small, shallow, Qi and old." ”
"Oh?" Uncle Ma sighed, and was interested in Wang Dong's return, he loves to drink tea, how to choose a good teapot of course knows, Wang Dong said nothing bad, simply put, it is small, shallow, Qi, old these four words, is to ask: "Xiaodong, how do you say these four words?" ”
Similarly, Uncle De and Uncle Cai were also bright-eyed, they thought they didn't know, but they didn't expect Wang Dong to say the truth, Wang Dong's performance today greatly exceeded their expectations.
At this time, Wang Dong recalled the saying of small, shallow, Qi and old, and said slowly: "There are many styles of teapots, some large and some small, and its color is also very varied, one of which is the most precious person who smokes sand skin, but no matter what style, what color, it is 'small not big, shallow but not deep.'" Qi word, is said to be three Qi, respectively, the pot spout, the spout, the handle of the pot flush, which is related to the level and quality of the pot, the most particular is the 'old', that is, the old, the older the more precious, can be judged from the amount of tea dirt on the inner wall of the teapot. ”
"Yes, that's right, I didn't expect Xiaodong to not only have outstanding calligraphy, but also to have good knowledge." Uncle Ma said approvingly, the more he looks at Wang Dong now, the more he likes it.
"Wen Hao, do you see it? I've told you many times, the master leads you into the door, the practice looks at the individual, you look at the people's Xiaodong, let you read more books, can you hear it? Uncle De then lectured Ye Wenhao with a straight face, meaning that this kid is not good at learning, not that I, the master, are not good at teaching.
Ye Wenhao thought that Wang Dong didn't know about it like himself, but he didn't expect to plant a big face, and he nodded frequently at Uncle De's teachings, and he didn't dare to have the slightest objection.
