Chapter 17 The dragon pattern plum bottle solves the dilemma

As soon as Zhou Guoliang entered the workshop, he pulled Master Qiao aside and muttered a few words, Qiao Zhengqing promised to go to his house at night. Zhou Guoliang left happily.

He Bingbing saw everything in his eyes. "What are you two up to? Mysterious and mysterious, it must not be a good thing! ”

Qiao Zhengqing also smiled. "My surname Qiao has never done bad things behind Yinshan, and some of them are above board!"

He Bingbing smiled a little ambiguously. "Could it be that Master Qiao is helping others again, helping other people's old lovers to cover up?"

Qiao Zhengqing's heart moved. Judging from her words and deeds towards herself these days, it seems that this factory flower classmate is a little weird. "Aha, good people really can't do it these days, they are happy with the east and annoyed with the west."

He Bingbing smiled. "What's the matter with me, what's there to annoy you? Some people like to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, human nature, not to mention the first beauty of our machine tool factory! Let me tell you a good news, I went to see Xiaoyu yesterday, she is white and tender, more beautiful than before she got married, why don't you go and comfort her? ”

Qiao Zhengqing was stunned. "Didn't I go to condolences with Su Benyou last week? Hey, no! How do I smell sour in the office? ”

He Bingbing was puzzled. "What sourness, why didn't I smell it? Yes! Master Joe is so bad, so bad! ”

Qiao Zhengqing laughed, and He Bingbing had red ears and red ears.

At this time, Hong Zhendong happened to see this scene at the door of the office, his face sank, he was stunned for a moment unnaturally, stared at Master Qiao fiercely, turned around and left.

Hong Zhendong returned to the assembly group, Bao Xiaomiao saw his puffing appearance, and said cautiously: "Brother Hong, who provoked you?" ”

Xiao Sun saw that Hong Zhendong's face was not good, for fear that he would be upset if he spoke inappropriately. "Brother Hong went to the office, eighty percent because that Master Qiao didn't know what to do."

Bao Xiaomiao put on an impassioned look. "Is it true? In two days, I'll go find a few little brothers to settle him! ”

Hong Zhendong reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense! Do you think you'll be all right if you fight and kill like before? ”

At this moment, Han Daguang led a girl over. "Hong Zhendong, I'll send you an apprentice. Her name is Xu Hui and she graduated from mechanical technical school. Xiao Xu, Master Hong's skills are the first brand in the factory, learn from him well, and you won't suffer. This one is Xiaobao, his name is Xiaosun, and they are all your masters. ”

Xu Hui respectfully called Master Hong, then turned his face and said, Master Bao, Master Sun, please take care of me.

Hong Zhendong said "um", and his face softened slightly; Bao Xiaomiao asked this and that with a smile on her face, Xiao Sun also seemed very happy. Hong Zhendong saw that this female apprentice with a beautiful face quickly got along with them, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

In the workshop office, Liu Mingquan was venting his dissatisfaction. "The assembly of the three groups is short of manpower, I have reflected many times, why do you not give the three groups of new apprentices? Director Han is eccentric! ”

Han Daguang said with a smile: "The production tasks in the factory are busy, and there is a shortage of people in each workshop, and the above is trying to find a way to solve it, don't worry." This time, the whole factory will enter one, no way. ”

Liu Mingquan muttered: "Every time there is a good thing in the workshop, the first one is a group, which is too insulting!" ”

After dinner, Qiao Zhengqing came to Zhou's house as promised. Zhou Jianxing smiled a little reluctantly, saying that it was troublesome Qiao Gong. Qiao Zhengqing said it doesn't matter, anyway, I'm single, and I'm bored when I'm idle. He was surprised to see that the white-haired Zhou Jianxing was much older than his actual age.

Zhou Guoliang happily held the dragon pattern porcelain vase in front of Master Qiao. Qiao Zhengqing's eyes lit up, and he approached the porcelain vase to take a closer look. Guodong and Guoliang stood quietly on both sides, their eyes full of anticipation.

After a while, Qiao Zhengqing said: "Uncle Zhou, congratulations, the ancestor left you a treasure, this porcelain bottle is called a blue glazed white dragon pattern plum bottle, it is very valuable!" ”

Guodong and Guoliang said almost in unison: "Really? ”

Their joy was in Qiao Zhengqing's expectation, but Zhou Jianxing was expressionless, as if Master Qiao's words were just the same as the hero's vision. Fang Shuqin's expression was very abnormal, and he frowned, without the joy of ordinary people when they had rare treasures.

Qiao Zhengqing talked eloquently at the plum bottle. This treasure is a representative boutique of the official kiln in Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty. Because of its thin mouth and short neck, wide shoulders and narrow shins, and the small caliber is only commensurate with the thin bones of the plum, it is named "plum bottle", which is a kind of porcelain bottle, and the stereotyped product at that time. Let's look at its color first: the glaze is dark blue and uniform; The enamel is thick and moist. Strong gloss and good transparency, reflecting the exquisite production technology of the Yuan Dynasty. The belly of the vessel is painted with a white dragon pattern, blue and white. The white glaze is blue, the blue glaze is intense, and the color contrast is bright and eye-catching, which is both strong and soft, with a harmonious sense of beauty and artistic appeal.

Looking at the shape of the dragon again, it has the typical characteristics of the dragon pattern of the Yuan Dynasty: the head of the dragon with its head and tongue raised, the double horns stretched backwards, the eyes are square, the neck is thin and sparse, the belly is bent and the tail is snake, the legs are four legs and three claws, and it is strong and powerful. The dragon pattern opens its teeth and claws, soaring and swimming, and the whole picture is dense and smooth.

The porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty was exquisitely crafted and sold abroad. Marco Polo once said that "the porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty was transported to the whole world", which was quite popular with people from all over the world. There are less than ten pieces of blue glaze white dragon plum vase in the Yuan Dynasty, and this piece is the largest and most intact, and its preciousness can be imagined!

Zhou Guodong was overjoyed. "In Qiao Gong's opinion, how much is this plum vase worth?"

Qiao Zhengqing pondered: "In my opinion, it's a pity that this treasure is sold, if it must be sold, according to the current market, it should not be less than 30,000." ”

Guodong and Guoliang said in unison: "Ah, so many! ”

Zhou Jianxing was still expressionless. "Qiao Gong has a lot of research on antiques, and his attainments are also high, so I'm sorry for you."

Guoliang said: "Master Qiao has done good things to the end, can you help find a familiar antique shop and sell it at a good price?" ”

Qiao Zhengqing said: "Uncle Zhou, do you really want to sell?" ”

Zhou Jianxing said: "Waiting for the money to be used, there is no way." ”

Qiao Zhengqing said: "In this case, I will definitely go all out." Rong Bao Zhai in the south of the city is the largest antique store in Sanjiang City, and Manager Xu there is an old friend of mine, and we often exchange ideas together. I can help sell it at a fair and reasonable price. ”

Guo Dong said: "That's great, when to go?" ”

Qiao Zhengqing said: "So urgent? ”

Guoliang said: "Don't hide it from Master Qiao, there is no time to delay, the sooner the better!" ”

Qiao Zhengqing said: "The current market is not the best, it's a pity to rush to make a move at this time." Tomorrow is Sunday, and I'll go with you. ”

The next day, Qiao Zhengqing came to Rong Bao Zhai on time, and Zhou Guodong and Zhou Guoliang were already waiting for him with a smile holding a box at the door of the store.

Qiao Zhengqing asked a chubby, garden-faced waitress. "Xiao Wang, is Manager Xu here?"

Xiao Wang smiled and said, "Discuss business with the guests upstairs, and I'll lead you up." ”

Qiao Zhengqing said: "No, let's go by ourselves." ”

Qiao Zhengqing led the two brothers upstairs, and Manager Xu just sent the guests down.

Qiao Zhengqing smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, I'll give you a good thing!" ”

Manager Xu said: "What kind of baby?" Sit down for a while, and I'll be right there. ”

The guest hurriedly said: "Manager Xu, please stay, you have something to do, go and get busy first." ”

Manager Xu welcomed them upstairs, and the Zhou Guodong brothers opened the box and carefully placed it on the table.

Manager Xu put on white gloves, gently picked up the dragon pattern plum bottle, looked at it carefully over and over again, and also picked up a magnifying glass to observe the dragon pattern and blue glaze. After a while, Manager Xu put down the plum bottle and leaned back on the sofa to close his eyes and ponder. After a while, he picked up the magnifying glass again and looked at the dragon's head, then closed his eyes again and pondered; repeated three times like this, making Guodong and Guoliang so nervous that their eyes widened, and the sweat in their palms came out.

Manager Xu finally opened his eyes and said to the Zhou Guodong brothers, "Is it your family?" ”

Zhou Guodong said: "Yes, it was handed down by the ancestors." ”

Manager Xu said: "The goods are genuine, national treasures. I am saying this for the sake of righteousness, and to tell the truth. However, the ugly words are in front, the current antique market has just recovered, the market is not the best, if you sell now, you will suffer on the price. ”

Zhou Guodong snorted: "As a last resort, our Zhou family will not exchange ancestral treasures for money, it is really helpless." As long as the price is reasonable, we will admit it. ”

Manager Xu said: "I'll open a preliminary price first, you can go back and discuss, if you agree, bring this plum bottle three days later, let us Rong Bao Zhai several experts carefully appraise it." If I hadn't lost my eyes, then I would have gone through the relevant procedures on the spot, and the money and goods would have been paid, what do you think? ”

Zhou Guodong said: "This method is good, Manager Xu, please make a price." ”

Manager Xu said: "Our Rong Bao Zhai has always been a fixed price, and it is real. The two of you are friends of Zhengqing, and I can't do anything to be sorry for you, and my offer is 35,000 yuan. However, I would like to reiterate that if the opinions of several of our experts agree with mine, this is a good price. ”

On the way home, Zhou Guoliang and Zhou Guodong kept thanking Master Qiao for his great help.

Qiao Zhengqing waved his hand again and again and said, "No thanks, I'm sorry for you, such a valuable treasure shouldn't be sold!" ”
