"Boss, pay the bill, 40,000 yuan with yours." Guo Yi stood up and held the jade pen holder in his hand, and said to Li Yang, who was standing behind him

"Okay" Guo Yi didn't carry a bag today, he went into the bank and went to 100,000 cash when he came, and Li Yang also wanted to buy some things today and went to tens of thousands, along with Guo Yi's money, which was like his backpack.

Hearing that Guo Yi asked him to pay the bill with his own money, he paused and didn't answer, took out 40,000 yuan in his bag, and handed it to the boss if he didn't open it, the bank seal was still on it.

The boss is also a cheerful person, he clipped his hands, and then put the money down his ears and put it away, and the business was done.

To do this business, the boss does not know how happy he is, this pen holder is another small stall owner to pay a debt, at that time the price of 5,000 yuan, now sold for 40,000 yuan, a profit of 35,000 yuan, but if he knows that the pen holder is indeed the Ming Dynasty, I don't know what the reaction is. "What do you say about the third child?" After leaving the stall, Li Yang couldn't wait to ask, although he didn't speak, but there was a look of expectation in his eyes.

"Shi Ming Dynasty, the specific needs to be verified, I suspect that it is the Chongzhen period, if it is confirmed, it is worth millions, not the lowest in the Chongzhen era, it is worth hundreds of thousands, go back and give it to the old man, this is a leak after all." Guo Yi said with a smile

"Is the third child really so expensive?" As soon as Li Yang heard Guo Yi's words, he almost dropped the pen holder that he was holding in his hand and playing with carefully, and hurriedly grabbed it. Carefully put it in the bag, put it in the bag, grabbed Guo Yi's arm and asked. After listening to Guo Yi's words, Wang Ou next to him was looking at Guo Yi's face seriously, trying to find any evidence of lying on his face.

"Boss, do I need to lie to you about this? There are antique shops all over the street, and the appraisers of the auction houses go to them for appraisal, don't you know? Guo Yi said with a little dissatisfaction. But in his heart, he was extremely depressed, "Dude, is that bad?" Aren't you just getting into the industry? Even if you don't believe in yourself, you have to believe in your eyes, and your eyes shouldn't deceive you. It seems that you will have to wear glasses when you go out in the future and make yourself a little older, huh. Just do it"

"Third brother, it's not that my brother doesn't believe you, it's just that if this thing is really worth millions, we will make a lot of money, and my brother can't take advantage of you. Although it is to pick something for the old man. I'll go and my brother will make up the rest of the money to you, after all, you found out. Li Yang said embarrassedly

"Okay, boss, don't do this, just think there is a trace of my mind in it, and then why do I want your money?!" Guo Yi said indifferently

"No, if it's hundreds of thousands of things, my brother won't be polite to you, it's really in case it's the Chongzhen period that you said. This thing is too valuable. Li Yang said, it stands to reason that Li Yang's identity background should not be like this for millions. But this thing was discovered by Guo Yi and asked him to buy it, it is too expensive, although the Chinese medicine is now rich, but the brotherhood is really touching

"Okay, boss, let's talk about this, the avenue is ahead, and our brothers will say goodbye." Guo Yi knew Li Yang's temperament, so he simply said something absolutely.

"Okay, third brother, don't be angry, brother, can't I say it?" As soon as Li Yang heard Guo Yi's words, he hurriedly stopped talking, he knew that this younger brother could really say and do it, anyway, it was still a long time, and it would not be good to have feelings for this money, so he could only make up for it slowly in the future.

Wang Ou tilted his head next to Guo Yi and looked at him, this person is incomprehensible, the first time I saw him was to see his sister, he was not well dressed, and the things he brought were not very good, and he said that he needed to continue to go to school and needed further study, although his temperament was very good at that time, but he did not regard it as a rich man.

When I saw him again, he was still dressed in big road goods, but now he is incomprehensible, he actually knows the children and grandchildren of the Li family, this is the real TZD, but not those who are latecomers, now millions of things are said to be sent, and now the feelings are so valuable, especially for this kind of person who does not seem to have a good family, to say that it is PLO Li Yang, but it doesn't look like the situation at all, and then he is actually an antique, this thing should be understood by the old man who is over half a hundred years old, What he actually said Li Yang just questioned it slightly, and his body seemed to be shrouded in a fog like fascination, which was incomprehensible.

At this time, Guo Yi's phone rang, and the caller ID was Zhang Siyi, Guo Yi apologized and walked to the side to pick up the phone.

"Guo Yi, I'm in Hong Kong." Zhang Siyi's voice came from the phone.

"Hmm," Guo Yi responded

"Where are you? Why is it so noisy? Zhang Siyi over there heard bustling voices, shouting and so on.

"I'm in the City God Temple, accompany the boss." Guo Yi explained: "When you go outside, you must take care of yourself." ”

"Well, I will, and so will you, don't be too tired alone, wait for me to come back. You must think of me" Zhang Siyi knew that he must have something else, so he didn't say much.

"Well," Guo Yi replied, waiting for the other side to hang up the phone, and then put away the phone.

Just when Guo Yi put away the phone and was about to go back, he saw that less than a meter away, an old man was holding a woodblock about one meter long and about seventy centimeters wide, the color was a little dark red, and there were some reliefs on the side of the wooden board that Guo Yi could see.

The old man took a mazar, put it down in that somewhat free place, sat on it, laid a strip of cloth on the ground open in front of him, and held the plank upright in front of him. Guo Yi took a look at the relief on this woodblock, it should be a few birthday stars, with a big head and a small body, as for a few old people and longevity peaches, Guo Yi couldn't recognize it, so he had to walk over and take a closer look.

Although the wood of the woodblock is very delicate, Guo Yi can see that it must not be made of heavy wood such as pear blossom wood, otherwise I am afraid that this old man will not be able to hold it at all, and it will be impossible to bring it here.

"Old man, did you just buy this woodcut or do you want to sell it here?" Guo Yi walked over, looked at the old man and said

The old man looked at Guo Yi in front of him. Although Guo Yi is not very well dressed, judging from the experience of an old man for decades, this kind of anger does not come from an ordinary family. I don't dress well but I don't like to show off, thinking of this, the old man said a little crampedly:

"This thing is handed down from the ancestors, for more than 200 years, this thing has been kept at home with the thoughts of the elderly, it is not that the child is sick at home, the cost of the hospital is too high. The people in the family were overwhelmed, and they had no choice but to come to this big city to see if they could sell it at a good price. In the past two days, I have transferred a lot of shops, but I only give a few thousand yuan, although we are an old man and have no culture. But I also know what I have worn for hundreds of years. Selling a few thousand yuan must have made the special people pit, so I didn't sell it to them, and I was introduced to let me put it here, maybe I can meet a knowledgeable person. After the old man spoke, he lost his sense of crampedness, and told all the things in the past few days in one breath.

Guo Yi's eyes lit up when he heard that the old man was going to sell this thing. This object doesn't look like it's ordinary, but it's not small. When he just looked at it with his eyes, the aura contained in the wooden board was glowing with a dark purple color, which can prove that this wooden board is at least something left over from the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, or it will be Shunzhi earlier, which requires him to break the dynasty well after he goes back.

After listening to the old man's words, Guo Yi picked up the template with both hands and weighed it, and after getting started, Guo Yi felt that although the wooden board was quite thick, it was not very heavy.

"Old man, is your ancestor the Taohuawu of Suzhou Province?" After Guo Yi put the plank down again, he groaned and said to the old man

The full name of this woodblock should be called the New Year's Picture Stereotype, and the New Year's picture made with it is called the woodblock New Year's Picture.

People who are familiar with history should have heard the name of Taohuawu, when the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River Tang Bohu was born and grew up here to live a lifetime, if it were not affected by the scientific research fraud case at that time, maybe there would not be four talents but a generation of Qingliu civil officials, it used to be an important town for scientific research, but in modern times, Taohuawu is famous for its woodblock New Year paintings.

Taohuawu New Year's Pictures (few people carve wooden boards but not nothing) and Yang Liuqing in Jin City, who Fang in Lu Province, Mianzhu New Year's Pictures in Sichuan Province, and Zhuxian Town in Henan Province are collectively known as the Five Great New Year Paintings (also said to be the Four Great New Year Paintings) and have been included in one of the world's intangible cultural heritages, and they are also one of the most folk handicrafts.

In the "Dream Lianglu", the sentence "New Year's Day is in the future, Xi Pu Department Store, Painting Door God Peach Fu, Yingchun Brand, Paper Horse Shop Printing Zhong Kui, Cai Ma, Huitou Horse and other gifts to customers" writes the "year" of Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty with taste, and "Wulin Old Things" even brings Lin'an's "year" forward to October "Since October, Chaotianmen and outside the bidding for the new calendar of brocade costumes, until Chinese New Year's Eve, and sticking Tianxing stickers and wealth gates in the frieze". New Year's painting shop market, bidding for lintel...... The liveliness of the Lin'an New Year has a distant intimacy for boring urbanites. As the Chinese New Year gets farther and farther away, you might as well follow this distant cordiality and find the lost New Year's flavor from the traditional folk New Year paintings.

New Year's painting is an artistic flower rooted in the fertile soil of ethnic and folk. In its brilliant colors and flowers, you can glimpse the life trajectory and wisdom of the Chinese, perceive the religious beliefs and living habits of the ancient people, and find the spiritual connotation and life history of the Chinese nation. It is precisely because it is rooted in the vast fertile soil of the folk that this flower of art will flourish even more.

Taohuawu New Year paintings originated from the engraving and printing process of the Song Dynasty, evolved from the embroidered image map, and developed into a folk art school in the Ming Dynasty. The printing of Taohuawu New Year paintings uses both coloring and color overlay, the composition is symmetrical, plump, and the colors are gorgeous, often with purple and red as the main tone, and the basic color system is all used, and the carving, color and modeling have a fine and elegant Jiangnan folk art style, mainly showing Xiàn auspicious and festive, folk life, drama stories, flowers, birds, vegetables and fruits, and exorcism and other traditional folk aesthetic content. The folk painting circle calls it the 'Gusu version'. On May 20, 2006, the heritage was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

Guo Yi once heard Uncle Hai talk about the origin, development, type, and distribution of New Year's paintings, so when he saw the old man holding the New Year's paintings, he guessed from the workmanship that it was the Peach Blossom Dock in Suzhou Province.
