The restaurant is not too big, just a hall of about 30 square meters and a few private rooms plus a back kitchen, but the antique decoration looks very elegant, the name is Lao Liu's private dishes, the business is quite good, he and Liu Xiaoya came so early, it was almost full.

Zhou Zhou Ming and Liu Xiaoya found a seat in the back and sat down, but his eyes always fell on a pair of hanging bottles on the wall. Hanging bottle is also called wall bottle, sedan bottle, as the name suggests is a bottle hanging on the wall or in the sedan chair, the shape of the bottle and respect are the main, but only half, one side of the wall is flat, with small holes.

This shape of porcelain first appeared in the Ming Dynasty Wanli period, the type of gourd type, semi-circular type, lotus mouth type, melon ridge type, etc., the size is large and small, the pattern on the bottle body has dragon pattern, Coats, eight immortals, pine, bamboo and plum, cockfighting, reed geese, folded branches and fruits, pheasant peony and so on, because of the special shape and relatively strong ornamentality, the wall bottle is very popular.

In the famous book "Zunsheng Eight Notes", there was once such a sentence, saying that the wall bottle "arranges flowers at four o'clock, people are flower companions, Qingfen is full of beds, the god of lying is refreshing, and winter and summer can be used". It can be seen from this sentence that in the Wanli period, the wall vase was very popular, especially for literati, but it was mainly used for flower arrangement at that time.

And to the Qing Dynasty generation, the artistic content of the wall bottle was raised to an unprecedented height by the Qianlong Emperor, not only enriched the shape and pattern of the wall bottle, but also took out the wall bottle that was originally used as a flower arrangement appliance as a work of art to appreciate, it is said that when he toured the south, he specially customized a batch of wall bottles to hang on the boat and the sedan chair for appreciation.

The wall bottle was so popular by Emperor Qianlong, from the court to the countryside, from the official kiln to the private kiln, the wall bottle with novel style and bright colors was produced in large quantities, and it also created a new variety of "color on color". As for the pattern decoration, it also absorbs the painting method of Western enamel, and the painted pattern is delicate and expressive, and the poor and ingenious are extremely ingenious.

Although there has been no shocking sky-high price in the previous auctions, the price has been relatively stable, and there has been no skyrocketing or continuous fall, which is very valuable for both investment and collection.

Zhou Zhou Ming passed by the pair of wall bottles when he walked in just now, and the reaction of the jade pen was very strong, and at that moment, Zhou Zhou Ming knew that he had touched the baby, so that he was a little distracted when he sat down to order.

After ordering two dishes casually, Zhou Ming made the appearance of looking at the decorations in the house, and looked at the decorations in the room with his hands behind his back.

There are four pairs of wall bottles decorated in this hall, but the other three pairs are fakes, or even low-imitations, which look relatively new and colorful, but they are indeed too new, new and new crafts.

Only the pair on the left side of the door is a good thing, and daring to hang such a good thing at the door of a crowded hotel shows that the boss does not know the preciousness of this pair of wall bottles.

Zhou Zhou Ming stood in front of this pair of wall bottles and looked at it for a long time, and sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder it was hung here as a worthless thing, and this pair of wall bottles was indeed not very eye-catching.

But antiques are like this, most of them are not very inconspicuous, and most of the old things are like this, especially the porcelain of the late Ming Dynasty. Although Zhou Zhou Ming didn't see the style of this pair of wall bottles, it can be seen from the painting style and workmanship that this is definitely something from the late Ming Dynasty.

People talk about the antique style of the Ming Dynasty, generally show that the big and rough Ming is big, from this point you can see the style characteristics of the artwork of the Ming Dynasty, take porcelain as an example, even the official kiln porcelain also seems to be very rough, not to mention compared with the Qianlong period, that is, compared with the late Qing Dynasty, the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty is also less beautiful.

However, this is determined by the artistic style of the Ming Dynasty, most of the porcelain from the shape to the fetal quality to the painting, it always looks like a rustic feeling, compared with the porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, it is more like the works of the folk kiln.

But this is just the opinion of ordinary people, in the eyes of connoisseurs, the value of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty is not lower than that of the Qing Dynasty, because on the other hand, the porcelain characteristics of the Ming Dynasty are rough and heroic, and each has its own benefits.

So this pair of inconspicuous-looking wall bottles, Zhou Ming could see at a glance that this was definitely something from the late Ming Dynasty, and it was from the Wanli period.

The shape of this pair of wall bottles is gourd-shaped, half a circle foot, the mouth edge is slightly turned outward, the pattern is a blue and white colorful rooster phoenix picture, the upper part of the gourd is the pattern of the phoenix flying into the sky, the waist of the gourd is decorated with a large number of cloud patterns to make intervals, the lower part is two colorful roosters, followed by the flower pattern of the bottom of the gourd.

To be honest, this pattern is indeed not so finely drawn, and the phoenix's claws are too freehand, and it doesn't look as good as the one drawn by elementary school students. But this is the characteristics of Ming Dynasty porcelain, when you look at it very coarsely, but if you have a certain ability to appreciate, you will find that this pattern is painted very smoothly, with a natural bold temperament, although the lines are not exquisite, but the effect of the painting is very good, lifelike, a bit like the popular childish style now.

However, this natural and simple style is much thicker than those pretentious so-called childish bodies.

Good thing, Zhou Zhou Ming looked at it for a while, and sighed secretly in his heart, it's a waste to hang such a good thing here, I have to see if I can buy it for a while, if I can really get this pair of wall bottles at the right price, then this trip to the capital will not be in vain.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Ming returned to his seat with his hands behind his back as if nothing happened.

"Xiao Zhou, is there anything wrong with that bottle?" As soon as Zhou Zhou Ming sat down, Liu Xiaoya asked in a low voice, as a qualified antique dealer, she naturally wouldn't notice the decorations in the house, but she didn't find anything abnormal, and saw that Zhou Ming also went over to take a look, so she asked curiously.

Zhou Ming smiled lightly, "The first time I saw the wall bottle, I was very curious, Sister Liu, didn't you notice?" ”

"I noticed that they are all imitations, all of them have traces of aging, they should have been picked up from the antique street, otherwise who would put some good things in this crowded restaurant? Giggles, but not everyone is as wealthy as Big Brother Feng. ”

Zhou Ming saw that Liu Xiaoya didn't recognize it, so he smiled faintly and stopped talking, it was just right that Liu Xiaoya didn't recognize it, otherwise he would really not be able to start. The dish was ready soon, Liu Xiaoya frequently persuaded to drink, and from time to time asked the little girl Liu Ziling to persuade her, obviously in a very good mood.

Zhou Zhou Ming was worried about the pair of wall bottles, and he accidentally fell into his stomach with a bottle of Wuliangye, and he only woke up when he felt dizzy, but what else could he do after drinking so much? While he was still sensible, he refused Liu Xiaoya's move to open the second bottle.

Just when he was worried that he was not very conscious, a stream of heat suddenly gushed out of the jade pen hidden in his arm, and it circled around his whole body, and the warm feeling made him can't help but let out a moan, and then the whole person suddenly came to his senses, which was the kind of sobriety that he had never had.

Could it be that this jade pen also has its own hangover function? Zhou Ming smiled secretly, so he didn't have to worry about getting drunk. Thinking of getting drunk, Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly moved in his heart, should he pretend to be a drunk? Maybe it will work wonders after a while.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Ming shook his head and made a drunken appearance, and then his voice slowly became higher, causing the diners in the hall to look at him frequently.

At the time of checkout, Liu Xiaoya was about to pay the money, but was stopped by Zhou Ming, "I'll come, I'll come," she said and staggered to her feet.

Liu Xiaoya didn't know that Zhou Zhou Ming was pretending, so she hurriedly shook her head, "How can this work, how can I let you settle the bill?" ”

Zhou Mingyan glared at him and scolded: "Do you think I have no money? Ah, look down on me, sit down," said Liu Xiaoya's shoulders with a flushed face and a smell of wine to press her to the seat, and then shook his head and moved to the counter, "Boss, how much?" ”

"Young man, a total of one thousand six hundred and three, give one thousand sixteen," it was not the waiter who collected the money, but an old man in his fifties.

Zhou Ming had secretly observed before that this old man was the owner of this restaurant, because several waiters called the boss directly. Knowing that the old man is the owner of this hotel, this matter is naturally easy to do, Monday Ming took out a wad of cash still wrapped in a seal from his pocket, and muttered while counting the money: "That woman looks down on me and thinks I have no money, you say, do I have money or not?" ”

The old man laughed and said, "Rich, rich," isn't this nonsense? When Zhou Ming opened his handbag just now, several bundles of cash were revealed inside.

Zhou Zhou Ming also smiled secretly when he saw this, but he still continued to act, showing a satisfied smile, "It's still you, the boss, who has vision," and burped stiffly as he spoke, and then pointed to the four pairs of wall bottles on the wall and asked, "Boss, this is an antique, right?" Isn't it expensive? ”

"Well, sort of," replied the boss cautiously, "of course antiques are expensive." ”

"Well, it's expensive, do you think I can buy it, can I afford it?" Monday asked with drunken eyes.

The old man checked the money and said, "You can afford it, you can afford it, you can buy a lot." ”

Zhou Ming laughed loudly when he heard this, and slammed the counter, "Okay, your boss has a vision, haha, I bought all four pairs of bottles in your house, you can make a price." ”

Hearing Zhou Ming's words, the old man raised his head and looked at Zhou Ming seriously, "You are drunk, go back quickly, these bottles of mine are not worth much, and they are not antiques," he said and glanced at Liu Xiaoya vigorously, meaning to get your friend away quickly.

Hearing the boss's words, Zhou Zhou Ming secretly said in his heart that the old man was kind, he didn't want to take advantage of his drunkenness to pit him, and he told the truth, so he didn't know what to do.
