"Okay, you clever boy, let's get inside first." The old artist had to shake his head helplessly and let Chen Yi into the house.

The things in the house are very simple, but they are also complete, and there is not a single stroller in the house, there is a little boy lying in it, Chen Yi can't help asking: "Old man, is your family from Shudu." ”

"No, our family is a small village near Shudu, but I have been pinching sugar people in Shudu since I was in my thirties, for my daughter to go to college, and now she has a family, I and your aunt help them take care of the children most of the time, and go out of the stall every day or two, you can earn more and less, it is my hand, I have pinched the sugar man for a lifetime, and I panic when I am free."

The old artist said with a smile, and finally sighed again, "It's just that the craftsmanship of my life is estimated to be gone when I come here." ”

Chen Yi deeply sympathizes, in Chinese culture, there are many kinds of crafts, but many of them have gradually disappeared with time, and now people pay attention to decent work, learning sugar people to set up stalls on the street, which naturally discourages young people, "Old man, as long as there are people who miss their childhood, our sugar man will not be lost." ”

"Young man, I also believe what you say, come, old woman, let me introduce you, this is the young man I told you yesterday who helped me a lot, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to sell out of those syrups." The old artist nodded, then called the old lady over and introduced Chen Yi.

"Old man, this young man can pinch candy people, you're not lying to me, are you?" The old lady looked at Chen Yi so young, and couldn't help but say with some suspicion.

The old artist suddenly laughed, "Haha." I didn't believe it at first. Come. Young man, pinch a candy man for your aunt. ”

Chen Yi smiled, took the syrup bowl handed by the old artist, thought about it, and then moved in his heart, took some syrup, and began to blow up, his intermediate cooking skills. The syrup skills represented are enough to compare with this old man, and may be even better.

Under his skillful skills, the things imagined in his mind became reality little by little under his blowing and pinching, "Young man, you are pinching a parrot, and it has a beak and claws, but why is the tail so long?" You can pinch it so hard, I can't believe it. Woman, I'm not wrong. Seeing what Chen Yi pinched, the old artist said with some surprise.

Chen Yi pinched the one according to the original shape of the purple and blue macaw, if there was ink here, he would make this sugar man parrot more real.

"I can't believe it, old man, this young man is much better than you." The old lady on the side said with a shocked face, I didn't expect this young man to be able to make such a good sugar man.

"Old man, you have won the prize, to be precise, what I pinched out is a macaw, which is different from other species of parrots in that its tail is very long, this kind of life in the Americas, we don't have it in China." Chen Yi said with a smile, under the perception of intermediate cooking skills, it is not difficult to pinch out this parrot.

The old artist shook his head, "Young man, you know a lot, okay, let's start looking for the room where the miscellaneous items are placed, I hope to find the painting, I came back yesterday and asked your aunt, she doesn't know where the painting went." ”

"Old man, it's okay, it's just a painting, I just want to confirm whether this person is in Shudu, and I can't find anyone through the painting." Chen Yi waved his hand, pretending not to care and said.

Saying that, the old artist took Chen Yi to a utility room in the courtyard, which was full of things, all kinds of boxes, all kinds of utensils, and even mixed with a smell of dampness, Chen Yi couldn't help but shake his head and smile, if this painting was in this utility room, it was estimated that it would have been corroded.

"Stay safe, young man, let's put them aside one by one." At this time, the old artist rolled up his sleeves and began to put some miscellaneous items on the ground next to him.

Chen Yi put things down, while using the primary treasure search technique, as long as there are antiques within fifty meters, it will find the most valuable one of them, after using it, a golden light shot out from his body, and then slowly fell to the ground, turning into a golden treasure search mouse.

It seemed that he hadn't seen Chen Yi for a long time, and the treasure hunt mouse jumped on his shoe a few times, then sniffed, and immediately ran towards a place in the utility room.

Fortunately, this utility room is not too big, Chen Yi's eyes may see the whole room, so he didn't follow the treasure search rat together, but just looked at it with his eyes, the treasure search mouse stopped next to a dilapidated red-purple box, looked back at Chen Yi, and then patted it on the box with his little golden paws, and after a while, it disappeared.

Chen Yi couldn't help but smile on his face, could it be that this painting was in the box, but looking at the box carefully, he couldn't help but show a touch of surprise on his face, maybe the thing that this treasure hunt mouse found was not in the box, but this box, thinking, he couldn't help but use an identification technique on the box.

In the end, the identification results were not surprising to him, this is actually a box made of small-leaved rosewood, and more than 100 years ago, it can be regarded as a utensil in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and according to the identification information, this is a box made of zuò candy.

Sandalwood also belongs to a kind of mahogany, and sandalwood has the highest value, in the plant world, it is recognized that the red sandalwood is only a kind of small-leaved red sandalwood, and the other red sandalwood are summarized in the rosewood, it is the most popular in the mahogany market, and the price is high precious wood.

Although this box is a little worn, the appraisal system still gives a slightly higher value, so the price of this box must reach at least more than 500,000 yuan.

"Old man, what is this box for, it looks like it's been around for some years." Chen Yi couldn't help asking.

Looking at the box that Chen Yi was referring to, the old artist thought for a while, and said with a smile: "That, it's also used by the candy pinchers, or my master handed it to me, saying that it was handed down by the ancestor of our group of candy pinching artists, let me keep it well." It's just a little shabby. I'm useless either. It's been at home all the time, and when I moved a few years ago, I fell on the ground and dropped a corner, so let's see if there's anything in it now. ”

Chen Yi couldn't help but sigh a little, treasures worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but they were treated like this, although the collection is hot now. This has made many people know a little bit about collecting, but some of the mahogany chests look similar to other chests in appearance.

Then he asked the old artist to rest next to him, he took all the things on the box by himself, and the top of the box was covered with a layer of ash, blowing the ash off, Chen Yi looked at the box, the delicate texture of the gap, far from being comparable to some other ordinary wood, as long as the old artist knows a little bit about wood, I am afraid that this treasure will not be buried for so long.

said. Chen Yi opened the box, and there was only a slight smell of dampness. It didn't smell like syrup, and it must have not been used for some years, and in the box, in addition to some candy pinching sticks, he also found a piece of paper stacked on top of each other in one of the small cabinets.

Seeing the appearance of this paper, Chen Yi couldn't help but show surprise on his face, because this paper is genuine rice paper, except for calligraphers and painters, I am afraid that other people will not use rice paper at all, so this rice paper is likely to be the painting obtained by the old artist.

"Hey, there's a piece of paper here." Chen Yi pretended to be surprised, and then gently took out the rice paper with his hand, there were no traces of insect bites on this paper, thinking of the characteristics of the small leaf red sandalwood, he couldn't help but smile and opened the rice paper.

I saw several majestic mountains guarding a temple in the painting, and the temple was tightly surrounded by it, which looked quite a unique taste.

And Chen Yi looked at the inscription on the upper right side of the painting, the four mountains of Emei Fuhu Temple are majestic and magnificent, surrounding the palace, quite Dong Ju's painting meaning, literary knowledge.

Seeing this, Chen Yi's heart suddenly emerged a surprise, Wenzhi, this undoubtedly means that this painting is made by He Wenzhi, but carefully taste the inscription on the painting, his heart is tight, Mount Emei is in Leshan, Sanchuan Province, and Shu has a hundred kilometers away, can it be said that in addition to Shu, this He Wenzhi often goes to other places and can't, that to find, but it is much more difficult than a Shu.

Carefully looked at the painting, Chen Yi was in a corner at the bottom right, there was a seal, what was engraved on it was the time, looking at the time on it, he was relieved, this painting was painted by He Wenzhi ten years ago, although according to this time, it is not possible to determine whether He Wenzhi is still in Shudu, but at least it can be said that he did not go to other places during the last year.

"Ah, this is the painting, I remember, last year after I took the painting to the house, when I was packing up something, my old woman thought the painting was too troublesome, it was originally rolled up, directly stacked together, put it in this box, this year has passed, almost forgot about it, young man, you are still amazing, you can see this box at a glance, otherwise, we estimate that we will have to find it for a morning."

Seeing this painting, the old artist suddenly remembered, patted his head in a sudden realization, and then praised Chen Yi.

Chen Yi smiled bitterly, I really want to say that you can still remember that it is this painting, it is not stacked, maybe He Wenzhi is troublesome, and he did not frame it, but just rolled it up, otherwise, I am afraid that it is two axes that are divided by the painting in a row, and then stacked together.

"Old man, I just saw that this box was very old and a little interested, who would have thought that this painting was inside." This painting was also unexpected by Chen Yi, who originally thought that what the treasure search mouse found was only this red sandalwood box, but he didn't expect it to be a mouse with two carvings and two treasures.

"Young man, is this person you are looking for?" At this time, the old artist couldn't help but ask, what he wanted most now was to be able to help Chen Yi.

Chen Yi nodded, and said with a smile: "Old man, the person I am looking for is him, He Wenzhi, let's go, let's take it to the courtyard and talk." After speaking, Chen Yi held the painting in one hand and lifted the wooden box with the other.

"Young man, what are you doing with this wooden box?" The old artist couldn't help but ask with some confusion.

"Old man, this thing handed down by your ancestor is a treasure." Chen Yi said with a smile, this old man did his best to help him, this is only a leak of 500,000 yuan, and he will not take it greedily without the old artist's knowledge.

The old artist suddenly smiled, "Baby, just this broken box, what can be the place for treasures." ”

Chen Yi smiled slightly, took the box and the painting to the courtyard, and then sat on the bench, looking at the painting carefully, although the mountains and rocks on the painting are majestic, but there is a delicate one in it, and the outline is slender and elegant, which is very similar to the Bashu school of painting that Yuan Lao said.

Some famous painters in modern China are all from Sanchuan, such as Zhang Daqian, who was listed as a figure in the school by the Shanghai School of Northern School and even the Lingnan School, as well as Shi Lu, who founded the Chang'an School of Painting, and some other famous painters, all of whom painted in their hometown of Sanchuan in their early years.

This He Wenzhi was born in Sanchuan, and his paintings are about the atmosphere of the Bashu school, which is an inevitable thing, Chen Yi used appraisal techniques to identify it, and finally this painting was systematically evaluated as having an average value, that is, in the range of more than 100,000 and less than 500,000.

However, in terms of the damaged Cheng dù of this painting and the fame of He Wenzhi, I am afraid that this painting can only reach more than 100,000, but not more than 200,000, because his fame is not great at all, if Yuan Lao and Qian Lao are the famous descendants of the painting school, it is not difficult for this painting to pass 500,000.

Even so, it is surprising, in order to learn to pinch candy, he directly handed over a painting worth more than 100,000 yuan to others, this He Wenzhi is really a maverick, and he does his own thing.

In the appraisal information, Chen Yi also knew some simple information about He Wenzhi, but it was not so specific, just mentioning his painting style and personal character, his personality was like what Yuan Lao said, weird and alone.

"Old man, if this painting can be sold to me, I may still have some use." Chen Yi looked at this painting for a while, and then said to the old artist, although this painting can't help to find He Wenzhi immediately, but after that, maybe it will be of some use, and if it is placed in the old artist's house, I am afraid it will only bury this painting.

The old artist waved his hand, looking indifferent, "Young man, what is not for sale, it is my greatest wish to be able to help you, you can take this painting, I won't ask for a dime." ”

"Old man, you underestimate the value of this painting." Chen Yi said with a smile.

"No matter how much value it is, it can't compare to what you helped me, okay, don't talk nonsense, let you take it, and if you don't take it, I'll put it back." The old artist said impatiently, in his eyes, what is the value of this broken painting that has been put away for a year and almost thrown away. (To be continued......)
