Chapter 338: Not for Sale
I don't know when the calm before the storm has been broken, and the howling wind makes the golden cinnamon in the back garden of the room scatter golden petals, and the faint fragrance is very deep and comfortable, and it is refreshing to the nose.
The shivering leaves swayed on the branches, and occasionally a few leaves were swept into the air by the wind, and all the fallen leaves on the ground were blown to the corners, and all the birds in the sky returned to their nests, except for a few Australian crows that hovered in the air.
The swaying branches cast demonized shadows on the glass, and the soup bag carefully hid behind the curtains, looking at the outside world through the glass, not daring to go out at all.
The vines were all tightly wrapped around the shelves, and there was no damage except for the leaves that were messing around, because the most precious grapes had been removed into the storehouse, and the remaining vines were to be cut down for wood burning after withering.
This is not an ordinary firewood, but a high-end restaurant specially used to grill meat, the beef and mutton roasted with grapevines naturally have a fresh taste, and the roast meat filled with wine aroma has more characteristics.
Workers also called it a day and went home, trying to hide in the house before the storm came, the storm in Sydney was so strong that an ordinary umbrella was not enough, and it was not uncommon to see the garbage cans on street corners after the storm full of umbrellas that had been blown apart by the strong winds.
"Hopefully this storm won't last long." Su Jing said worriedly.
Wang Hao patted the back of her hand, "Don't worry, when the storm stops, we will return to the ranch." Plan our ranch well. These days, I, the rancher, are running around and running, and I can't do my job a little bit. ”
Su Jingyan smiled. "You also know that you don't do your job, and you don't take care of a good pasture. I have to run over here. Did you help in any way? ”
It's a fact that you can't help at all on the winery's side, you don't understand anything, and you can't bother Andrew in a time zone where his feet don't touch the ground.
"It's still a bit of a harvest, look at the blue and white porcelain wine glass." Wang Hao pointed to the potted Yimi flower on the table, "At least the fuel money has been earned." ”
Thinking of this, Wang Hao said to Su Jing: "Let's just take this picture and send it to a professional to ask, what is the value." ”
He also had a Sotheby's phone in his phone. The initial capital for buying the ranch was obtained through Sotheby's, a major international auction house, and although it was charged a 10% handling fee, at least the auction price was much higher.
Su Jing also nodded in agreement, anyway, there is nothing to do now except wait for the Buddha to jump over the wall and steam well. It's better to satisfy your curiosity and see if the wine glasses you two got from the flower show are real or fake.
Wang Hao quietly used magic to cover the roots of the Yimi flower, ensuring that he would not hurt its roots when he got the soil out, so that he could change things and continue planting.
Very cautiously, he pulled Yimihua out of the wine glass, and Wang Hao turned the wine glass upside down again. Clean up the dirt inside. The two of them went to the kitchen sink and rinsed the wine glass inside and out, then wiped the water droplets off with a towel.
The two who don't understand antiques don't have any sense of protection at all, as long as they don't bump into each other, they can be protected.
To the surprise of the two. There is another mystery on the inner wall of this cup, not only the appearance is exquisite. The wall of the cup is painted with blue and white folded chrysanthemums, and the four-clawed dragon chasing the dragon ball is also molded. The dragons are in pairs, and one of the dragons has the word "jade" in front of it. The rim of the cup is decorated with blue and white curly grass patterns, which looks very delicate. It's so well preserved that it's no wonder the young shopkeeper thought it was a modern artifact.
took out his mobile phone and took several photos up and down the cup, and Wang Hao sent them to Charlie through WeChat, the manager who helped him auction Picasso's paintings before.
"It's really outrageous to grow flowers with such a delicate and beautiful cup." Su Jing sighed, the most exquisite part of the workmanship was completely covered by the dirt.
Wang Hao smiled, "Anyway, in our eyes, these things are the same, and we can't recognize the difference between good and bad." ”
A few minutes after the MMS message was sent, a phone call came.
"Mr. Wang, you are a good thing, the authentic Yuan blue and white cloud dragon pattern high-foot bowl, the quality is very complete, congratulations!" Charlie is a Chinese expert, and is obviously an expert in this aspect of porcelain.
As soon as he heard the name, it was a little high-end, Wang Hao asked, "Can you be sure that it is Yuan Qinghua?" ”
Charlie giggled on the phone and said, "Of course, our auction house has internal information. Once the branch of Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong auctioned a high-legged bowl that is almost exactly the same as yours, which looks like it should be the object in the same set of porcelain. Of course, when I see the real thing, I can't be 100% sure. ”
Come to think of it, there can't be only one such wine glass, it is generally done in sets, and it can't be used by different people at the same table.
"Let's put it this way, the Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong branch sold a high price of 10 million yuan at the time of the auction, so if you are ready to auction, we estimate that the price will not be less than 8 million. This is an authentic official kiln blue and white, and a high-quality official utensil. ”
Eight million yuan, that is, the price of a few cows, Wang Hao opened his mouth and politely refused: "I'm sorry, I just want to ask about the authenticity of this object, this is not for sale." ”
"No problem, the Troubled Gold Collection, now you can use it as an investment. If you want to sell one day, don't forget to contact me. Be sure to give you the best publicity. Charlie didn't deliberately entangle, for him, the deal could not be done, and benevolence was still there.
"Thank you very much for this help, and have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Hao picked up the tall bowl or tall cup and looked at it, "Man, you will have to depend on my tortoiseshell peony in the future, but it's not difficult for you." ”
He simply went out into the garden and dug up a piece of soil, then crushed it and put it in a goblet, and finally placed a wild tortoiseshell peony seed in it, and then a small delivery point magic went in to help the seed germinate.
"Are you really using it to plant flowers?" Su Jing was cleaning up the mess on the table, she found a vase of Yimi flowers and planted them first, after all, the position of Yimi flowers had been preempted by the seeds of tortoiseshell peonies.
Tang Bao squatted on the chair curiously, holding his little paws in his arms, and watched the two of them talk with dripping eyes.
"Soup dumplings, you are not allowed to play with this little cup in the future, understand?" Wang Hao instructed and said, "If you touch it, you will be punished for not being able to go out to play for a month, and you will not be able to eat dried fish." ”
How dare you do this to me! The soup dumpling sat up all of a sudden, isn't it just a small cup, if you don't touch it, you won't touch it. (To be continued......)
