Thank you for the big monthly pass, I'm already a disciple, everyone is working hard. Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info I'm going to do it too! Never ask for leave during the Spring Festival!
Barcelona's antique street is actually a market, with a central square as the core, extending six streets radially, and the main items on each street are simply differentiated according to the type of antique and the country. There are also some Western food and coffee shops for people to rest.
Yan Ju basically saw the shops about Chinese antiques in the first two days, and he had almost finished reading them, leaving only some sporadic wandering in other antique streets, so he was confident that even if he couldn't win, at least he wouldn't lose. What's more, Wu Di still wants to rob it with Old Man Yue Ge?
Wu Di acted very indifferent, the original purpose of coming here was to make up the bets, but after getting a few things, he found that none of them were willing to take out! Now that he has become a miser, what else is there to say? Let's sweep them one by one!
As for Yue Ge and Yan Ju, they weren't the object of his worries at all, this antique market was so famous, I don't know how many masters were picking and choosing here every day, but could they pick up all the things? According to past experience, some of the antique brothers and sisters on the list are the most likely to be ignored and misidentified by them, not to mention that he also has a clairvoyant eye and a book from heaven.
Seeing that Yan Ju was also the same as the old man, he ran away in a hurry after a simple explanation, he smiled slightly, first arranged for Da Niu to go to two gambling stone shops to take away what should belong to him, and then walked in with the military advisor who chose a street at random.
This is a shop that deals in Southeast Asian handicrafts, and Wu Di has not studied India, Burma, Thailand and other countries, not to say that he looks down on them, mainly because many of their things are related to Buddhism. And their celebrities often have great limitations, although there is history, most of them are enslaved, and in modern times, they are far from the mainstream society, and they will only get some wood carvings, gems and the like to sell......
At a glance, there was nothing new except for some Songkaro ceramics, temple carvings, wooden ornaments from ancient palaces, dolls, masks, and various metal containers. He shook his head, and was about to turn and walk out.
His gaze swept over a row of wood carvings again, and there seemed to be something faintly giving him a strange feeling just now, and he wanted to confirm it again. When his gaze fell on a statue of an Indian elephant head about 30 centimeters tall, he tugged at the corners of his mouth. Sure enough, it's weird!
Wu Di took a few steps forward and leaned in to take a closer look. This is a very common wood carving, and the shape is one of several standard shapes of the ancient Indian god Ganesha. The material should be very general boxwood, and the age is not very old, at most it is not a hundred years. The carving is a little rough, and because of the storage and craftsmanship, the paint on the chest of the elephant god and the goddess holding it in her left hand are peeling, which really doesn't look like a valuable thing. It's just that the hexagonal base that this Ganesau is stepping on at his feet. But it's kind of interesting.
The base is made of the same material as the statue, and the two are carved from a single piece of wood, and the surface is painted in a colorful green, and the lacquer layer is at least twice as thick as the statue. Wu Di smiled and held the statue in his hand. There's no way it's not thick, because if it's not thick, it can't hide the traces of the opening behind the side! Because, in that place, the base was dug into an inconspicuous little hole. Then it was sealed from the outside, and in the small hole, Huo Ran stuffed a small paper ball!
Wu Di's brows furrowed. Another treasure map? Impossible, right? He's on the verge of treasure map syndrome! I looked at it carefully, because the paper was crumpled into a ball, and I still couldn't see it clearly, but the doubts in my heart were better, how could there be a treasure map without a picture with only letters and numbers? Then he smiled dumbly, no matter what it is, it must be strange to be able to be hidden by someone so secretly, buy it first and study it slowly when you have time.
Handing over the box containing the Ganesau to the military advisor, Wu Di walked out of the store and walked into a shop selling Chinese antiques opposite.
This shop is not small, gold and stone, calligraphy and painting are all available, there are many modern handicrafts, and each piece of boutique, the owner should have a very good purchase channel in China.
Porcelain and calligraphy and painting have always been major items in Chinese antiques, and Wu Di generally starts with these two, and this time is no exception.
Blue and white, pastel, colorful, celadon, white porcelain, the varieties are complete, but the quality is the wisdom of the benevolent and the wise.
After hurriedly browsing and verifying it with the Book of Heaven, Wu Di went out of the store and went down. Until the end of this street, except for the Ganesha wood carving, he did not do anything again.
Back in the central square, Wu Di looked around, it feels different from those antique markets in China, the most obvious is the flow of people, there is a lot less here, and there are no guerrilla vendors everywhere and those guys who will stop you everywhere...... Oh, this sentence retracts......
Just as he had chosen a street and was about to go over to take a look, a young man sneakily walked up to him.
"Sir, I have a lot of smuggled things here, are you interested in taking a look?"
It turned out to be Chinese? Wu Di glanced at the thin young man and said with a smile:
"Okay, business is done in Spain! Is it a good mix here? ”
The young man was stunned suddenly, this reaction was the first time he had encountered it, and it seemed that he had met a veteran. He smiled awkwardly,
"The market management here is too strict, and life is not good, so I can barely make ends meet."
Wu Di nodded, now foreigners have suffered a lot of losses, and they have gradually become more shrewd, the most important thing is that you are not a good person at first glance, who wants to take care of you?
"But buddy, we really got some good stuff this time, and it won't take you much time anyway, why don't you come with me and have a look?"
Wu Di's heart moved, and he also wanted to see what these guys were tossing on the foreigner's territory, so he nodded,
"To be able to meet you from so far is to see and see. Where is it? I don't have time when it's far away. ”
The young man didn't expect Wu Di to be so good at talking, and he was overjoyed when he heard it.
"Not far away, it's in the parking lot next to it, please come with me."
If you have milk, you are a mother, and this is not what happened, but it will be upgraded to you are old?
In the parking lot, the young man took Wu Di and the two into a Mercedes-Benz business car, and the seats in the back two rows of the car were unloaded, replaced by several large suitcases.
"What do you always want to see? Although our shop is small, it is porcelain, calligraphy, painting, bronze miscellaneous, and everything is complete! ”
The young man took a small bench, wiped it vigorously with his sleeve, and then graciously handed Wu Di a bottle of soda. Wu Di took it and put it down, looked around, the pure black car film made the light here look very dark, and the weird environment was a bit of a ghost city.
There was only one driver in the car, and when he saw the young man bringing someone up, he just looked back indifferently, and continued to shake his head and listen to his music.
"Hehe, yes, it's all Mercedes-Benz! Now that you're here, let's take a look. ”
"Okay, baby is here, please take a look!"
The young man opened the four large boxes in turn, then closed the door without saying a word, and sat himself in the passenger seat.
The first box was full of porcelain, and Wu Di looked at it with a strong flashlight for two minutes, and picked up a large bowl of bean greenery.
This large bowl is about 7 centimeters high, with a diameter of about 15 centimeters, an open mouth, curved walls, a deep belly, and a circled foot. The inside and outside of the vessel are made of bean green glaze, and the inner and outer walls are painted with blue and white red to paint the rising sun, and the blue and white are painted with seawater reef patterns; Red painted auspicious clouds and red sun pattern.
In the picture, a craggy mountain with scattered branches and leaves of trees stands in the rolling water, and a round of red sun erupts from the sea, connecting with several colorful clouds, presenting a magnificent scene of sunrise over the East China Sea. The blue and white double circle on the outsole is written in the six-character double-line block book "Kangxi Year of the Great Qing Dynasty".
Wu Di knows that this pattern is called "Haitian Bathing Day" picture, the poem "Xiaoya? There is a saying in "Tianbao" that "such as the moon is constant, such as the rising of the sun", so in ancient times, people often used it to imply the peace of the country and the people, auspiciousness and peace.
He flipped the bowl over and over several times, then gently put it back again.
Douqing is one of the varieties of blue and white porcelain, which was founded in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and was more popular in the Qianlong period. The production process is to paint on the blank tire with cobalt material, and the glaze is reduced at high temperature, so the fine color is exceptionally elegant and beautiful, and its style is also unique among many varieties of porcelain. This large bowl is rigorously composed and colorful, and should be a rare piece of fine art.
The second box was full of scrolls and ancient books, and it seemed that it would take some time, so Wu Di casually flipped through it and went to see the miscellaneous items in the third box, ready to read the rest first.
Seeing that Wu Di finished reading the two boxes so quickly, he picked up a total of one thing and put it back, without even asking the price, the young man was a little anxious, lying on the passenger seat and asking:
"You're looking so fast? I've got a lot of good stuff here. Take the bean green ground blue and red color sunrise picture bowl you just saw, it is a fine product, the last time an old professor who went abroad for an investigation came out to 500,000 I didn't spit it! ”
"Hehe, 500,000? VND? The blue and white ornamentation is good, but I don't know if you have noticed, its fetal foot porcelain is solid and dense, and the color is bright, a little too much. ”
"Passed? Is it bad for this porcelain to be dense? If the workmanship is rough and the porcelain is loose, it will be uncomfortable to look at, who would want it? ”
"Hehe, buddy, you're afraid you're confusing the concept, right? Of course, modern handicraft porcelain is as fine as possible, but you are selling antiques, can you expect it to catch up with the current level of porcelain? But your bowl is really okay, if it's cheaper, I might consider it, 500,000 yuan, I'd better take a look at the others first. (To be continued.) )
