Chapter 10133: Gu Yuexuan's snuffbox
Although the place introduced by Chen Liujin is only a family in the village, the master's craftsmanship is very good, and the famous dishes of Jingchu such as mandarin fish, fish cake balls, stewed fish, purse meatballs, steamed pork, etc., are compared to some star-rated hotels, so that Chu Chen and others have seen the phrase "masters are in the people" again.
In addition to the delicacies, everyone has witnessed what is called the real "rice bucket", the weight of the rice eaten by Chen Liujin really has to take a bucket to fit it, and it is roughly estimated that there are no six catties of rice, and there must be five catties. Everyone was a little dumbfounded.
"It's a pleasure!"
Chen Liujin patted his stomach, sighed with satisfaction, and said to the owner of the house: "Third brother, is the meal you prepared ready?" β
"It's been ready for a long time, but your belly?" The owner of the house looked at Chen Liujin's stomach, somewhat worried, although Chen Liujin had eaten at his house before, but only ate three catties, which was already very amazing, and today he came directly to five catties, it was really scary, he was afraid that Chen Liujin's stomach would burst.
Chen Liujin smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I can eat it again, and these are not prepared for me." β
"Okay, whatever you want......"
With the prepared meal, the group went out and walked to Lian Youshui's house.
"Xiao Chen, are you preparing these meals for Lian Youshui?" Qiao Qingtai asked.
β β§ Chen Liujin smiled proudly: "Of course, if we want to impress him, we must move him with affection, and know it with reason, I inquired about Lian Youshui's favorite dishes yesterday, and he is usually reluctant to eat these dishes, and he will definitely be moved after a while." β
Qiao Qingtai smiled and said, "Whatever you want." Anyway, if it's just these two things today, then I won't give your share. β
"Wrap it up on me!" Chen Liujin patted his chest. Played up the package ticket: "We will be like this for a while, we will definitely be able to do it!" β
listened to Chen Liujin's idea. Qiao Qingtai laughed and said: "Don't steal chickens and rice, if you don't succeed, the money will be wasted." β
The third said confidently, it's okay, it's okay, he definitely won't look at the wrong person. It seems that it is the simplicity and kindness of even the water!
Lian Youshui came out and opened the door, and when he saw that it was Chu Chen and his party again, he shook his head and said, "I said six catties, I said that there are no antiques in my house, why are you still here?" β
Chen Liujin said with a smile: "When I just eat." Thinking that you have no one to cook at home alone, I brought you some, including tamales, fish cake balls...... It tastes good, why don't you try it? β
Hearing that they are all dishes that he likes to eat, but he is usually reluctant to cook, Lian Youshui couldn't help but swallow his saliva, although he knew the truth of eating people's soft mouths, but when he thought of it, he hadn't heard of these delicacies for a long time. He couldn't help it.
After hesitating for a while, Lian Youshui finally invited everyone into the house, and after a while, he ate the icing and threw the cannonball back.
Entered the house. Chen Liujin took out all the dishes, smelling the aroma that came to his nose, and even his index finger couldn't help but move.
"Otherwise. Let's eat together? Lian Youshui said with a smile, but his eyes couldn't get rid of the delicacies on the table.
Chen Liujin smiled and said, "Uncle." You're welcome, we've already eaten. β
Everyone else nodded.
"Then you're welcome." Lian Youshui smiled. I picked up the chopsticks and ate it, probably because I hadn't eaten such a delicious thing for a long time, and in the end I devoured it, which was no slower than Chen Liujin just now.
At the end of the meal, he couldn't wait to lick the plate clean even when there was water, and of course, considering that there were still guests, he couldn't do such a rude thing.
At this time, Chen Liujin said with a smile: "Uncle, my elder is really interested in your family's antiques, and he doesn't look at it in vain, he will give 100 yuan for a piece, whether he buys it or not." β
Speaking of this, he handed the cigarette to Lian Youbian and continued: "Uncle, do you think, if you take out ten antiques and let him see them, it will be a thousand yuan, this is a business, it's a good deal, isn't it?" β
Lian Youshui said to me unhappily: "I said six catties, you are really joking, how can I have ten antiques in my house?" Besides, am I that black-hearted? β
Up to now, everyone has seen the hesitation in Lian Youshui's eyes, his mind is not difficult to understand, the people of the country are afraid of revealing their wealth, not to mention that the people in the village have long been jealous of the antiques of the Lian Youshui family, and Lian Youshui has always been wary, and he doesn't want outsiders to know how many antiques he has.
Chen Liujin hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hehe, I'm just making an analogy, it's not that you have ten antiques at home, don't be careful." β
At this time, Qiao Qingtai took on and said, "Brother, you can take whatever you want, you can take one or two pieces, let's not just do business once or twice, you will know me when you are familiar with it in the future, if you approve of me, we will continue to cooperate, if you don't recognize you, you don't have to pay attention to me." I still say what Xiao Chen said, if you take out a few pieces, I will give you a few hundred yuan, and I will never break my promise. β
Seeing that Lian Youshui was about to be tempted, Chen Liujin hurriedly added: "Uncle, in fact, in addition to six catties, I also have a nickname of iron mouth, why?" It's just because I'm tight-lipped about it! β
When Lian Youshui heard this, he looked at the others, and everyone said that they would definitely keep their mouths shut.
"Okay, then you ......"
"Dad......"
Lian Youshui just wanted to ask everyone to wait for a while, when he heard someone outside open the door, and with the salutation and footsteps, everyone saw a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old man walking in with an old man, coincidentally, the old man was actually Qin Jin, who was at odds with Qiao Qingtai.
Both sides looked at each other, and they were stunned, and then the man saw the crutches in Lian Youshui's hand, and couldn't help but hurriedly come to Lian Youshui, and asked anxiously: "Dad, what's wrong with your leg?" β
Lian Youshui smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just a foot bout, not strict." β
"Really?" The man looked incredulous.
"Then I don't need to say, why don't I move it and show you?" Lian Youshui said with a smile.
"Don't, what if it's strict?"
The man hurriedly stopped, and then complained: "But." Even if it's a broken foot, why don't you tell me on the phone? I'm here to take care of you! β
Lian Youshui said: "Hehe, it's just a small problem." Besides, you don't have to take care of your business, huh? β
I know what kind of character my father is. The man also sighed in his heart, he first helped Lian Youshui back to his seat, and then asked, "Who are these people?" β
Lian Youshui hurriedly introduced the two sides, and finally said that Chen Liujin brought the lunch lunch.
Lian Youshui's son's name is Lian Tianzi, and it is not difficult to see from the name that Lian Youshui hopes that his family will be prosperous.
When Lian Tianzi learned about Chu Chen's name, he was very excited, he was no better than Lian Youshui, who didn't know much about the antique market. Knowing that Chu Chen's fame was very big, he hurriedly greeted Chu Chen and was polite, and after a while, the feelings calmed down a little.
At this time, Qin Jin snorted, and Lian Tianzi immediately reacted, as well as Qin Jin who he brought, which made him a little embarrassed.
Qin Jin said lightly: "Old man Qiao, the one with the highest price will get it for a while." What do you think? β
Qiao Qingtai said "bad luck" in his heart, he didn't expect to meet Taijin, of course, at this time. He definitely wouldn't back down, so he nodded happily and agreed.
Lian Youshui's father and son were a little happy when they saw that they knew each other at first. But then they saw that the two sides seemed to be at odds, which made them a little worried. Something won't happen in a while. However, for the time being, the results are good. Because Qin Jin has already proposed a particularly favorable Jianyì.
Next, Lian Tianzi helped Lian Youshui back to the room to get something, while Qin Jin snorted coldly at Qiao Qingtai, and then drank stuffy tea.
Due to Qin Jin's arrival, the atmosphere at the scene was a little weird, and everyone sat still without speaking, but fortunately, after waiting for a long time, the father and son walked back with three things.
Lian Youshui put the things on the table, opened the box, and said with a smile: "You see if you like it." β
Qiao Qingtai and Qin Jin glanced at each other, and then they each picked up the contents of the box in front of them and looked at them, while Chu Chen took out the contents of the remaining small box.
This is a material tire painting enamel snuff bottle, the shape of the body is small and oblate, the carcass is crystal clear, the top of the pink crystal is the hat, the whole body is painted with flowers, birds, grasses and insects, the painting is exquisite, the color is beautiful, the floral pattern is slender and complex, and the color is fresh and layered.
Looking at the style again, the boundary is the blue material of the Song style and the regular script "Qianlong Year"; There are two layers of blue squares on the outside, thick on the outside and thin on the inside, and the four corners of the outer square are folded corners, which are the specifications of Qianlong enamel porcelain.
Seeing this special color and excellent painting, Chu Chen couldn't help but be slightly stunned, which made Lian Youshui next to him see it, and hurriedly asked, "Director Chu, is there something wrong with this thing?" Probably not, this is a treasure left by my father, and I wouldn't have taken it out if you hadn't come here. β
Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "There is no problem, it's just that this kind of utensils are relatively rare, I'm a little surprised." β
Hearing this, Qiao Qingtai and Qin Jin both raised their heads and looked over, Qiao Qingtai asked curiously, "Director Chu, what's wrong?" β
Chu Chen smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's just that this seems to be Gu Yuexuan's thing." β
"Gu Yuexuan?" Hearing this name, Qiao Qingtai and Qin Jin couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Gu Yuexuan" is actually painting enamel, which began in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it is painted on the glass tire with enamel color, and fired at high temperature. In the past, due to the extremely difficult process, only very small utensils, such as snuff bottles and tobacco saucers, were made in the imperial kilns.
The reason why "Gu Yuexuan" is praised is that in addition to being called a masterpiece in the handicrafts of the Qing Dynasty, it is particularly difficult to fire.
For example, the material tire in Chu Chen's hand, because it is glass, is very close to the melting point of the enamel glaze, and it is difficult to master the heat when baking. In the process of baking, if you raise and cool down a little faster, the pot tire may burst. If the furnace temperature is low, the glaze can not be fully dissolved, and the furnace temperature is slightly higher, and the tire pot is easy to deform, and its furnace temperature does not have a fixed temperature, which should vary depending on the size, size, thinness and thickness of the pot tire.
Although there is a lot of modern equipment now, at the last critical moment, it is still experienced masters, with their years of experience to master, which shows the difficulty of firing.
In addition, in the process of baking, only one work can be baked at a time, and to achieve a perfect effect, its glaze should be on a layer, baked once, repeated several times, sometimes broken when burned for the last time, the previous efforts will be wasted, so its yield is still relatively low.
For example, in May 2000, at an auction held by a domestic company, a Gu Yuexuan glass fetal painting enamel snuff bottle during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty was auctioned at a sky-high price of 2.42 million yuan, which rewrote the auction record of the mainland snuff bottle at that time.
Based on these, you said that Qiao Qingtai and Qin Jin would not be surprised.
"Show me!"
Qiao Qingtai hurriedly asked Chu Chen for something, and took it in his hand to observe it carefully, while Qin Jin could only be anxious beside him, if he wasn't worried about any mistakes in the snuff bottle, he wanted to snatch the things from Qiao Qingtai's hand.
After more than ten minutes, waiting for Qin Jin and the others to get impatient, Qiao Qingtai put the things on the table with satisfaction.
"Humph!" Qin Jin snorted coldly at Qiao Qingtai, and then took the thing in his hand with lightning speed. (To be continued......)
