Chu Chen looked at Wang Xiangong's expectant eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll call you then!" ”

"This, are you talking about Jing Hao's "Autumn Evening Picture of Chushan"?" Ning Shizhen asked with a surprised look on his face.

After getting Chu Chen's confirmation, Ning Shizhen couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and when he reacted, he hurriedly said, "This, Mr. Chu, I don't know if I will have the honor to witness it then?" ”

Anyway, it's nothing to add one more, Chu Chen agreed very happily, of course, this is also because Ning Shizhen is a friend of Zhu Dafu and Wang Xiangong, otherwise he would not agree so happily.

Just like the two people next to him, although they looked envious, Chu Chen did not send out an invitation.

Although the day is better today, because it is not a weekend, there are not many guests, but Ning Shizhen doesn't care about it.

In his words, opening an antique shop to make money is the second, and the most important thing is to meet like-minded friends. And the antique industry is either not open for three years, or open for three years, and it is normal for business to be bad, and if the business is good, he feels strange.

After drinking tea for a while, Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Ning, I said did you take something good out and give us a look?" ”

Ning Shizhen laughed and said: "I have been ready for a long time, but I can make it clear in advance, there are a few things that I plan to barter, I hope you Haihan!" ”

After saying that, he hugged his fists to everyone and walked out of the room, and after a while, he took the clerk and brought over nine boxes one after another.

"Look, everybody, if you like it, except for the few barters. Everything else is negotiable. Ning Shizhen opened the box, and then made a plea to everyone.

Everyone was polite. And they looked into the brocade boxes that were placed in front of each of them.

In front of Chu Chen was a bird food jar, which was made of a duplex. Imitation gourd shape, the top is rolled back into a hole, which can be worn and tied, and the back looks like a gourd that is wrapped around the branches and leaves, which is beautiful and lovely, and the design is quite ingenious.

In addition to the mouth of the body, the green and white glaze is applied all over the edge, but it looks a little gray, and the glaze is moist and bright but it looks a little thicker. There is a faint sense of waves. The edge of the mouth is exposed, and the fetus can be seen to be fine and dense, and the regular and generous "Ming Jiajing Year" six-character double-line regular script falls on the edge of the mouth.

The outer wall of the bird food jar is decorated with blue and white painting entwined branches, and the blue and white materials should be made of stone green materials, and the color is blue with gray and elegant. The ornamental painting method is divided into two kinds: solid brush and outline rendering, the solid brush is mostly thin lines, and the outline rendering is mostly thick lines and ornamentation, the lines are smooth and the lines are clear. There is a sense of completion in one go.

Although the shape of this bird food jar is small, it contains ingenuity, and the painting is quite exquisite, but it is a pity. In the late Ming Dynasty, both the glaze and green material of porcelain were not as good as those in the early and middle Ming Dynasty. There is also a lack of quality, which makes the value of this bird food jar greatly reduced. Chu Chen felt that the market value should be around 80,000.

But after all, this kind of bird food jar is still relatively rare, Chu Chen thought about it. If the price is right, it is not bad to accept it, so he opened his mouth and asked: "Shopkeeper Ning, please ask for a price!" ”

Ning Shizhen smiled bitterly and said apologetically: "Mr. Chu, I'm really sorry, my bird food jar was paid off at the beginning, and the price is really low, if you want it, it's 80,000 yuan, how about it?" ”

Chu Chen didn't buy this bird food jar to collect, in this case, he would definitely not do unprofitable business, so he could only shake his head and give up, looking at the next thing.

The following antique is a large bowl of blue and white entwined flowers in the Xuande period that Wang Xiangong has seen.

This bowl is extravagant with a slight eversion of the mouth, deep belly, blue and white decoration all over, the inner wall is painted with peony, lotus, chrysanthemum pattern, the inner double circle of the bowl is painted with lotus flowers, and all kinds of flowers are connected by small leaves and branches. The outer mouth is painted along the back pattern, the foot wall is connected with the Ruyi curly grass pattern, the lower part of the abdomen is painted with the Ruyi head Yang Lotus pattern circumference, the theme is decorated with the inner wall, the surface painting is vigorous and free, and the bottom section is the official paragraph of the six-character regular script in the double circle of "Xuande Year System of the Ming Dynasty".

This bowl is delicate and delicate, white and hard, the bowl body is covered with green and white glaze, the glaze is thick and moisturized, the luster is soft and not dazzling, and it is blue in the white, commonly known as "bright green glaze". The blue and white materials are drawn from the typical Su Ma Li green materials, and due to the relationship between the kiln temperature, the blue and white flow is scattered, which is like the rendering effect of Chinese painting on rice paper.

Xuande blue and white entwined flower pattern bowl, although it is an ordinary official kiln practical utensils, but the blue and white verdant and beautiful, the shade is appropriate, the decoration rules are not blind, and the elegance and vulgarity of Xuande porcelain are truly reflected.

To say that since it is such a good bowl, why did Wang Xiangong not ask for a price, in fact, it is because this bowl has two shortcomings.

First of all, this bowl is covered with ice chips, and there is a lot of dirt attached to the crevices of the ice chips over time. There was also the problem that there was smoke in one part of the bowl's surface.

The smoke phenomenon refers to the partial or all gray, yellow, brown or impure white colors on the surface of the ceramic, mainly due to the fact that before the glaze melts, there is no oxidation and exclusion, and the glaze is deposited on the glaze surface after melting.

It is also a borneol pattern, and there is a smoke phenomenon, which makes the quality of this blue and white bowl really poor, and Wang Xiangong dislikes it, so he did not inquire.

Although this blue and white bowl was precious, Chu Chen's heart was also cooled because of these two shortcomings, but when he was about to put the bowl back, he suddenly thought of something, so he changed his mind and asked Ning Shizhen for a price.

Although Ning Shizhen didn't know why Chu Chen would ask the price of this blue and white bowl in poor condition, but this bowl had been in his hands for a long time, not only did he dislike the quality of this bowl, even if it was the same for others, no one was willing to change hands or exchange it, of course, there were also reasons why he refused to sell it at a low price.

Now that Chu Chen was interested, he hurriedly quoted a price of 220,000 yuan, which was slightly lower than the market price, and Chu Chen only thought about it a little and agreed.

Just as Chu Chen was about to watch the next thing, he heard Ning Shizhen next to him say: "Elder Wang, I'm really sorry, I plan to barter walnuts for this pair of walnuts." ”

When Chu Chen heard the word walnut, he was immediately attracted to it, but he remembered that he had to buy a pair of good walnuts for the master.

"And how are you going to change it?" Wang Xiangong asked.

"Three Xuande furnaces of the Xuande Dynasty, if they are treasures, they can also be discussed." Ning Shizhen gestured and said.

Hearing Ning Shizhen say this, Wang Xiangong couldn't help frowning: "I only have an ordinary Xuande furnace, can the rest be replaced by something else?" ”

Ning Shizhen shook his head very resolutely, he just liked the Xuande furnace so much.

Seeing this, Wang Xiangong could only show a look of regret on his face.

At this time, Chu Chen also saw that Ning Shizhen wanted to change the three Xuande furnace walnuts, and as soon as the walnuts entered his eyes, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

This pair of walnuts should be mutated lion heads, the shape is round and solemn, the texture is delicate and hard, ordinary walnuts are generally two-edged, it is actually as many as five edges, and the five edges are wide and straight, sharp and blunt and round.

The color of the walnut is bronze, the pulp is delicate, and it shimmers with a gemstone luster like red agate, and it feels warm and moist like jade.

What made him even more excited was the carving on the walnut, which turned out to be nine finely carved dragons. Walnuts are notoriously difficult to carve. The nuclear carving should be miniature carved according to its texture, and the slightest failure will be a loss, so there is no full skill and grasp, and the nuclear carver would rather retain its original texture.

This pair of walnuts carves nine dragons, and there are five edges, which add up to the respect of ninety-five, which in ancient times except for the emperor, who else dared to use such walnuts?

In addition, this pair of walnuts also has a pair of ivory carved bases, which can be said to be an excellent match in terms of shape, texture and color, and can be called the king of walnuts in cultural play. With such a superb walnut, it's no wonder that Ning Shizhen won't let go!

Chu Chen decided that he must get this pair of walnuts in his hands, so he said: "Shopkeeper Ning, I don't know if you can exchange this pair of walnuts for two Xuande furnaces to make up the difference?" ”

"This ......" Ning Shizhen heard that there were two Xuande furnaces, and couldn't help but be moved, although walnuts are more precious, but the people who play are niche after all, although his walnuts are indeed more precious, but the future appreciation space is definitely not as high as the Xuande furnace.

It's just that Ning Shizhen still seems a little unwilling, and just as he was about to refuse, Chu Chen added another weight: "Shopkeeper Ning, otherwise, two Xuande furnaces, plus one Hu Wenming's hand furnace, if it is not enough, then calculate the difference, what do you think?" ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Ning Shizhen held back the words that had just come to his mouth, although Hu Wenming's hand stove was not as precious as the Xuande furnace, but the value was not low.

Seeing Ning Shizhen's expression, Wang Xiangong on the side suddenly became anxious, and he hurriedly said to Chu Chen:

"Xiao Chu, let's discuss, I usually like to collect walnuts the most, how about letting me give this pair of walnuts?"

Chu Chen replied: "Elder Wang, it's not that I don't want to let it, I am going to give this pair of walnuts to my master, please forgive me!" ”

When Wang Xiangong saw Chu Chen say this, he seemed to remember something, opened his mouth, and then sighed softly: "Okay then!" ”

Seeing this, Chu Chen hurriedly said: "Elder Wang, I'm really sorry, next time I have a chance, I will definitely help you find a pair of top-grade walnuts, what do you think?" ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Wang Xiangong felt a lot more comforted in his heart, he waved his hand and said, "Don't be so troublesome, you just need to have this heart!" ”

Ning Shizhen was still a little hesitant, and when she heard that Chu Chen wanted to give walnuts to Liu Lao, she hurriedly agreed, she usually didn't know how many people wanted to have a relationship with Liu Lao and didn't have a chance, but now she couldn't miss the opportunity to show her face in front of Liu Lao.
