Chapter 130: Engraving (1st Update)
(The fourth update, or a free chapter, thanks to the readers and friends who have always supported Lao Wu, it will be on the shelves in half an hour, ask for everyone's guaranteed monthly pass) - Liu Shao didn't see Han Chong in the antique street, and after calling the latter, Han Chong didn't go back to the inn, and went directly to the Xiaosu antique street.
The antique street is very lively, and at nine o'clock, the vendors have also set up their stalls, and the buyers begin to stroll around the antique street to start the day's experience of picking up leaks.
Most of them are some old men in their fifties and sixties, they have nothing to do, basically their daily activity is to look at antiques, perhaps, without this antique street, they really don't know where to go.
Compared with the situation that Jingde is famous for porcelain, there are more engravings in this pond.
Just like the stalls that Han Chong has seen, each stall will have dozens of engravings. After Han Chong had seen more than a dozen engravings, the current one made him stop.
This is a woodblock New Year picture engraving, Han Chong probably knows that this is the New Year's painting of Peach Blossom Dock, because it is concentrated in the Peach Blossom Dock area, so it is named after it.
The picture depicts three children, one holding a goldfish, one holding a peach, and the other telling a story to the two, which is lifelike, and the picture is full of interest.
It has been recorded in historical materials that woodblock New Year paintings appeared in the Tang Dynasty, popularized in the Song Dynasty, and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The subject matter of the New Year's paintings is very rich.
Zhuxian Town in Henan, Yang Liuqing in Jinhe, Yangjia Bu, Jinzhu and Taohuawu in western Sichuan, and known as China's five major folk woodblock New Year paintings.
Because of the differences in regional cultures, the themes are naturally diverse and diverse.
The most common is the Door God series, such as some romances, or characters from myths and legends are often used with pleasure.
At present, this fairy child hugging peach is also one of the widely used New Year paintings.
Han Chong stopped because he found that although this wood-block New Year painting was in new condition, it should be an old object.
The boss saw that Han Chong was interested, and came up to introduce, "Young man, this is the New Year's painting engraving of the Peach Blossom Dock of the Ming Dynasty, and it may be so well preserved, it may be like this." Peach Blossom|Wu, do you know? In the current city of Suzhou, the New Year's paintings there have a good reputation, called the Gusu version. ”
This boss spoke with confidence, and Han Chong was not happy. "Boss, as soon as I saw it, you said that you were an object from the Ming Dynasty. I didn't say I had to choose it, the one next to it, this one is Yue Fei and Qin Qiong, the two gatekeepers, which dynasty is this? ”
The boss didn't expect Han Chong to be a smart person, and now he regretted it a little.
Said with a smile. "Ahem, the young man is very interesting, this is it?"
"That's right."
Han Chong was unfazed.
"Actually, the one just now is not as good as this one, although they are all from the Ming Dynasty, but that one is new, to be honest, it is not as good as this one, this is Zhu Xianzhen's New Year's painting. Yue Fei was loyal to the country, and after his death, Qin Qiong gave up his wife to serve the lord and followed Li Tang, they were all famous generals. This one is a little better than the other. ”
"This New Year's painting is from the Ming Dynasty again?"
Han Chong smiled even more happily, and the peddler was suddenly a little embarrassed, but he was still reckless. "Of course it's from the Ming Dynasty, don't you believe that I still have an appraisal certificate here, you see!"
The peddler took out his so-called certificate very seriously, Han Chong glanced at it, this thing costs dozens of yuan a piece, and now unscrupulous connoisseurs are colluding with these vendors, and the wolf is a traitor, so it can be obtained everywhere.
"Boss, I think it's better to forget it. I don't know which one is good or which one is bad, or I'll take which one is cheaper, you can hear that my accent is from other places, and I know that our Chizhou prints are famous, so I want to buy a pair to keep a souvenir. ”
"Just the one I saw before, how do you sell it?"
After going around in a circle, Han Chong still returned to the New Year's painting of Peach Blossom Dock, he was so sideways just now, and it was also to disturb the boss.
In his opinion, the engraving of this fairy child holding a peach is at least from the Qing Dynasty, and its carving style is rough and vigorous, full of composition, and exaggerated shape, which is in line with the characteristics of that period.
This is also the reason why Han Chong decided to buy it.
However, even if this woodblock print is real, it is worth less than seventy or eighty thousand, and if the boss says that the price is high, Han Chong will definitely not do it.
Touching this wood-board New Year's painting, the little boss also examined Han Chong a few times, and said that the customers who came here, the boss had seen everything.
It's not that those who wear famous brands must be big, or that people who dress like poor students like Han Chong must be poor.
In recent years, the rich have learned to hide their clumsiness, the one who pedals the bicycle and goes to the antique street every day may be worth tens of millions, and the one who drives a BMW may still be repaying the loan every month.
The boss saw that Han Chong's temperament was extraordinary, and he should have some family background, so he was tempting the asking price at this moment. "Young man, although my New Year's paintings are not as good as those ones, they are not also from the Ming Dynasty."
Han Chong pushed his hand and interrupted directly. "Boss, you just say how much it is, and you talk about the Ming Dynasty, then I really turned around and left?"
"Good, good."
The boss's momentum was actually killed by Han Chong, the little guy.
But of course, the boss has his mind no matter what he says.
"One hundred thousand."
The boss is really dark enough, and the price is two or three percentage points higher than the market price.
"Huh." Han Chong smiled, at that time he had the idea of getting up and flashing away, but as his little finger put on the woodblock print, Han Chong consciously urged the dragon to come out, this painting is really like a vendor talking about the Ming Dynasty, because on his surface there was a golden light.
This light is brighter than the previous antiques of the Qing Dynasty, so Han Chong is sure that this is more modern.
He was about to continue stroking, but in a trance, Han Chong felt that it didn't seem to be the case.
The treasure light that comes back from the white dragon doesn't seem to be because of this engraving, not because of this New Year's painting, but under the New Year's picture of this wooden board, it seems to be the source of the treasure light.
Han Chong continued to visit, but unexpectedly, under this year's painting, there was still a painting, and there was a painting hidden under the print.
How cleverly hidden.
The average person simply can't notice it.
The treasure light came out from the bottom, and the engraving New Year painting on the surface, it is not from the Ming Dynasty at all, and it is estimated that it is at most an imitation of the Republic of China.
Han Chong was stunned, if it weren't for the dragon, Han Chong wouldn't have been able to discover the secret.
I wanted to see what kind of painting was embedded in the edge of the woodblock print, and before I opened the perspective, the anxious vendor had already made another offer.
"Young man, if 100,000 is too much, I'll give you this number, 80,000, this is an unprecedentedly low price?"
The peddler naturally pondered, if the offer of 100,000 yuan was a person who had no money, or someone who had no intention of buying, he would leave early after listening to it, but this guy, this kid clearly didn't move, although his expression was hesitant, it at least showed that he was considering.
The hawker felt that there was a show, so he only dropped 20,000.
Han Chong temporarily gave up the idea of looking at the painting, since it is a painting of the Ming Dynasty, then this engraving New Year painting is worth having.
However, this engraving on the outside is worthless, and I will not be stupid enough to buy it for tens of thousands of dollars.
Smiling lazily, Han Chong got up in the next second and said simply. "Boss, I only offer a fixed price for this New Year's painting of yours, 10,000 yuan. If you sell me, even if you cheat, you will admit it. If you don't sell, I'm going to go to other stalls, and you're not the only one who does business. ”
So don't look closely, Han Chong is also afraid that the boss will be suspicious, and the most important thing is to pick up leaks. But you've been researching for too long, and when you understand it, the boss won't be able to change the hexagram and not sell it.
Now guess what the boss said.
(It's on the shelves, and there are two more, which will be presented immediately later)
