Chapter 160: A guest at the shop
There is also Yuan Qinghua, Ru kiln and other porcelain, or celebrity calligraphy and painting, Wang Xizhi's estimation don't think about it, Su Dongpo's, Yan Zhenqing's and so on's authentic works, no matter what, Tang Bohu's fine products are also completed, don't talk about fooling people.
Dong Yuan's, Juran's, anyway, are heirlooms, the kind that others can't easily take out, this is the treasure at the bottom of the box.
What Wang Chan's landscape dwelling lacks is this kind of treasure that everyone recognizes as pressing the bottom of the box.
Therefore, in the Wenchang Temple antique market, it is said that there is some lack of confidence. At least the people who traveled with him looked down on Wang Chan a little.
Therefore, the business here is conceivable, and it is not wrong to say that it is a door.
And in such a situation, the first guest Wang Chan greeted was a man who looked in his forties, wearing a washed and somewhat whitish blue cotton shirt, looking like a peasant in northern Shaanxi, with a red face, ravines and wrinkles, full of vicissitudes of time.
Wang Chan saw the middle-aged man carrying a flower cloth package and walked in with some caution, but Wang Chan glanced up and didn't say anything. This is also a rule of the antique shop, generally speaking, after the customer enters the store, the guy is to greet him, but he will never ask the guest officer what is the matter, buy antiques or sell antiques.
There is no such question. This is to avoid the embarrassment of the guests, in case the guests are here today, just don't buy at all, how about it, can't you come if you don't buy?
Therefore. In general, not familiar guests. After entering the store, the shopkeeper is also good. Dude, in a situation like this, they would never ask in the first place.
Generally, if it is said that the customer wants to buy something, or if he says something, then take a look and observe the situation in the shop, at least ask first, this is called inquiring about the market. The deal doesn't always work out, but customers usually ask some questions.
And these questions, nine times out of ten, are what type of antiques and what price.
There are also 12 out of 10 people who ask who has the most eyesight on this street, of course, the average old man will never ask such a heartless question, only those who are new to the industry have the courage to ask.
Therefore, at this moment, Wang Chan glanced at the middle-aged man. But nothing was said. Sure enough, this middle-aged man took a look at the layout of the landscape residence, which was newly opened. A new shop, with a little more scheming in his heart, immediately came over and said, "This little brother." I want to talk to your shopkeeper about something, can you give me a briefing? ”
This middle-aged man. It looks like five big and three thick, but in one case like this. Listening to him can actually be heard, this guy is not full of wealth, at least he has read books, is sensible, and is not an ordinary farmer's style.
If you are fooled by this person's appearance, then in such a thing, this is really easy to lose.
This kind of antique shop looks loyal and honest on the outside, but behind the scenes it is a sinister and vicious person, not one or two.
Therefore, on such a matter, Wang Zen calmed down and said: "This gentleman is invited, he is not talented, he is the shopkeeper of this shop, if there is anything, you can just tell me." ”
New shop, Wang Chan hasn't had time to invite a buddy, and he has a lot of secrets, if you say to invite a guy, then at this time, some secrets are not easy to keep.
Therefore, as to whether Shanshui Ju will invite a partner, Wang Chan is pondering. The middle-aged man seems to be very surprised because Wang Chan is young, and the shopkeeper of the antique shop in his twenties is not reliable, this is really difficult to say.
But in the end, it seemed that the middle-aged man was a little helpless, thinking that he had no other way, that expression was somewhat helpless, and finally said: "I have something here, I want you to show it, and the family is anxious to use the money, so I took out my ancestral treasure, thinking about changing a few dollars for urgent use." ”
Wang Chan got up and gave up his seat and made tea, this is a matter of minimum etiquette, the person who comes is a guest, a cup of tea, or out. Even if a middle-aged person doesn't buy it at all, he doesn't sell it at all, but a cup of tea is not a lot of money.
Tea, the middle-aged man really doesn't have the heart to drink, and it can be seen that this person must have something important waiting to use the money.
Therefore, without drinking tea, I took out a thing directly from the flower cloth package, which was a celadon, and the middle-aged man introduced: "My ancestor was a child of the Eight Banners, and he was also a royal family back then, and he was a yellow flag, and his ancestors were also beautiful, but now it is not done, the descendants of later generations are not filial, and the family business left by the ancestors has been scattered and scattered, and the things that fell into my hands are this celadon fruit plate."
The celadon tribute made in the Kangxi year of the Qing Dynasty is said to be a ritual vessel used by the Emperor of the Temple of Heaven when he sacrificed to the sky. You can see how much this thing is worth. ”
This storytelling is the most common in the antique shop, an antique, if it is said to buy a high price, one is the truth of the thing, and the other is the orderly inheritance, the orderly inheritance of things is more convincing, if it is said that Wang Xizhi's orchid pavilion order appeared rashly, God knows whether it is true or a fake, but if it is said that the Qingming Shanghe picture, this famous painting is inherited in an orderly manner.
Who collected after Zhang Zeduan, who collected it during the Yuan Dynasty, who collected it in the Ming Dynasty, and who collected it in the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, the value of the Qingming Shanghe Diagram is not only its artistic value, but also that it is a real inheritance of his own, and it cannot be faked.
Therefore, if an antique cannot tell a story, the value will at least be discounted. Therefore, Wang Chan didn't care about what kind of story this middle-aged man was telling, what he cared about was what kind of porcelain this porcelain was.
Carefully looked at this celadon, the bottom paragraph, the Kangxi year of the Qing Dynasty, the bottom paragraph is said to be square and standard, I can't see anything wrong, and carefully look at the details of the celadon, at this time, Wang Chan said: "What you said is that this porcelain is a ritual vessel for the Kangxi year, right?" ”
The middle-aged man said very proudly: "Naturally, I still had a set at home at that time, and this is just one of them." ”
Wang Chan shook his head and said: "There is one thing I am not optimistic about, since it is a ritual vessel, why does it have such a heavy smell of Tuqin." (To be continued......)
