Chapter 463: Visiting (I)

After the blending liquid is prepared, you only need to use garlic cloves to apply it, and after wiping, tie it with a rope and fix it, and it will be very firm after two or three days! However, the disadvantages of the porcelain glued by this method are also very obvious, that is, it cannot be wet, and it is precisely because of this that Chu Chen does not plan to use it.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Uncle Wu, we will go to Du Lao in a while, and it will be too late for this matter for a while, and I originally planned to ask Du Lao to help repair this porcelain, let's talk about it when we get there!" ”

Uncle Wu nodded in agreement, and then hurriedly said, "Okay!" Then let's go now! I also want to see the style of Chenghua blue and white porcelain as soon as possible! ”

Next, Chu Chen put all those ancient books into the safe, picked up the porcelain pieces that Uncle Wu helped wrap, and the porcelain cup he got a few days ago, and then the two went downstairs together, went to buy some fruits and other gifts, and set off to Du Hou's house in a car rental car.

Because the security personnel of the kiln factory have not yet arrived, Hu Yong has been helping in the kiln factory for the past two days, so he did not follow.

…………

Twenty minutes later, the two took a taxi to the front of Du Hou's villa, and as soon as the two got out of the car, Du Hou, who was standing at the door, greeted him with a smile on his face, and after a period of greetings, Du Hou welcomed the two into the house.

Du Hou has a total of three children, the eldest son lives in Shanghai, the second daughter married to other places, and the younger son has immigrated, so there are only Du Hou and his wife in a huge villa, and a nanny lives, feeling a little lonely. In Du Hou's words, Chu Chen and they are here. His house is much more popular.

Originally, Du Hou's eldest son wanted him to live in Shanghai, but Du Hou was used to the life of the porcelain capital, and he already loved porcelain. No matter how good the Shanghai market is, there is no atmosphere of porcelain culture like the thousand-year-old porcelain capital to attract him.

Du Hou invited the two of them to sit down, and when he saw the gift that Chu Chen put on the table, he shook his head and said, "Didn't I tell you before, don't buy gifts, I'm very happy when you people come!" ”

"The first time I visited, it was all as it should be!" Chu Chen smiled and diverted the topic: "Isn't this trying to trouble you." Bring some gifts to make you feel soft! ”

The second elder laughed when he heard this, and waited until the nanny poured tea for the three of them, and Du Hou made a gesture. Just smiled and said:

"Okay, then I'll be soft once, I don't know what Xiao Chu are going to let me help with?"

When Chu Chen heard this, he smiled and took out the porcelain piece, and then put it on the table and spread it out.

Du Hou saw the porcelain tiles on the table. I knew what Chu Chen asked him to help. Knowing that what Chu Chen took out should not be any worse. So he immediately took out a magnifying glass and looked at it, but he had the same expression as Uncle Wu before, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and finally his face showed pity.

"I said Xiao Chu, the fracture of this porcelain piece is so new, it can't be that you accidentally broke it, right?"

"How can you! I bought these porcelain tiles at the morning market. Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "If I fell, then my master and Uncle Wu would have to make my beaten ass bloom." ”

"I said Xiao Chu, you shouldn't be so reckless!" Du Hou smiled and said, "That's it, let's use garlic juice to spell it first." There's a number of general shapes, so let's talk about the rest. ”

Du Hou did this. It is also to avoid future disputes, if it is really a complete product, it is the best, if there is a lack of porcelain, then mark it and write it in the contract, so as not to say it clearly when you get it.

Chu Chen didn't have any opinion on this, and nodded directly: "Okay!" ……”

Then, everyone moved to Du Hou's study, and after asking the nanny for relevant things, Chu Chen began to prepare the concoction liquid, this thing is not difficult to match except for a little trouble, Chu Chen's hands and feet are fast, and it will be successfully prepared after a while.

As soon as they were ready, under Chu Chen's operation, everyone began to carefully glue together those porcelain pieces piece by piece according to the shape of the palace bowl.

The process of adhesion is very smooth, when it is time to eat at noon, a total of 21 occasions porcelain pieces have been glued one by one, and with the return of the last piece of porcelain, a glaze is translucent and lush, moist like jade, the green material is soft and elegant, and the painting is quite exquisite Chenghua blue and white entwined branch Ganoderma lucidum Tuobaowen palace bowl, which is displayed in front of everyone.

The three of them admired it obsessively for a long time, and it was not until they heard Mrs. Du say that they were going to prepare for dinner, and everyone came back to their senses.

Du Hou said solemnly: "Xiao Chu, I will definitely do my best to help you repair this palace bowl." ”

"Thank you! Thank you! Chu Chen hurriedly thanked: "How much does it cost, just say it directly!" ”

"What doesn't cost!" Du Hou waved his hand and joked: "It's already a great honor to be able to restore such a treasure, and besides, it can also entertain my loneliness, I haven't given you any money." Come on! This matter is settled, if you withdraw money, be careful that I am in a hurry with you! ”

Seeing Du Hou's statement like this, Chu Chen could only agree with some embarrassment, and then Du Hou wrote a receipt to Chu Chen, which indicated that he would take it three months later.

Over there, Mrs. Du came to urge dinner again, and everyone could only walk out of the study with some reluctance.

The lunch was very rich, talking about the topic of the palace bowl just now, and the atmosphere was also very cheerful, and in the end, it can be said that the guests and hosts were happy.

After the meal, the three of them rested for a while, and Du Hou invited the two into his heavily defended treasure room.

As soon as they walked into the room, Chu Chen and Uncle Wu seemed to have come to a sea of antiques and treasures, and the variety and dazzling collections made the two of them look breathtaking.

After a long while, Chu Chen came back to his senses and exclaimed: "Old Du, I didn't expect you to be a big collector, you have so many collections, it is more than enough to open a private museum!" ”

Du Hou waved his hand again and again: "No! No way! I can be called a big collector, although I have a lot of collections, but only porcelain I am sure of, the rest of me are half-, whether it is true or false, I am not sure. ”

Chu Chen asked a little strangely when he heard this: "You should have a lot of friends in the antique world you know, since you can't distinguish the real from the fake, why don't you let your friends identify it?" ”

Du Hou smiled and said: "I'm a person, I like to have fun alone, and besides, I'm an old man, I often take some good things to let others help me, in case someone with ulterior motives knows, it's not safe, isn't it?" And I'm also afraid of trouble, so I don't want to be famous. ”

After listening to Du Hou's explanation, Chu Chen and Uncle Wu both thought it was true, there is a way that people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and once people become famous, there will be a lot of trouble, and Du Hou and his wife are already seventy or eighty years old, and there is only one nanny at home.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Du Hou said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, I'll just say it straight, I'm very interested in your fair cup, as well as the pair of Sanskrit cups, if you agree to change, you can choose from my collection later, if it's porcelain, it's okay if it's a little higher, if it's something else, how do you want to change, let's discuss, I promise to satisfy you." ”

Chu Chen also said happily when he heard this: "Okay, but Old Du, let's talk about it in advance, the fair cup can only be exchanged for the old man's, and the other civil official fair cup, I want to collect it myself." ”

"Okay, then you can see for yourself, and tell me directly if you fancy something! ……”

Next, Chu Chen and Uncle Wu each found the target they were interested in and appreciated it.

To say that Du Hou's collection is indeed many, regardless of whether it is good or bad, these collections add up to nearly a thousand, of course, these nearly a thousand collections cannot all be good things, most of them are ordinary goods, but there are actually a lot of good things, Chu Chen took a cursory look, and it is estimated that there are nearly 100 pieces of fine products.

Just like the porcelain fetal painting enamel snuff bottle in front of you is very good, this snuff bottle has full shoulders, barrel belly, dignified shape, simple atmosphere. The body of the vessel is painted with a goldfish, and the goldfish pattern is elegant and smart, as if it wants to jump out, implying that it is full of gold and jade. The lines are delicately outlined, many but not complicated, and the light blue enamel is applied, the color is light and elegant, and the gradient is soft.

Although this snuff bottle is already a work of the late Qing Dynasty, the enamel color no longer has the charm of Qing Sancai, but in terms of its workmanship and painting, it is also a rare boutique, although its value is not even comparable to a blue and white Sanskrit cup, but Chu Chen still wrote it down as an alternative.

Then Chu Chen looked at a few more utensils, there were good things, but they were not what he liked, and just like Du Hou said, he was not sure of the authenticity of the utensils other than porcelain, Chu Chen really encountered a high antique jade.

The texture of this ancient jade looks okay, and it is Hetian jade pretended to be Qinghai jade. Generally speaking, Qinghai jade is translucent, better than Hetian jade, the texture is slightly thicker than Hetian jade, the specific gravity is slightly lower than that of Hetian jade, the texture is not as delicate as Hetian jade, and it lacks the dignified feeling of mutton fat jade, and it is often seen that there is a transparent waterline.

But these characteristics need to know this knowledge of people to see, the average ordinary consumer, it is really not easy to identify, especially the Qinghai jade in the boutique, it is even more difficult to judge.

And the ancient jade in Chu Chen's hand was a piece of Qinghai jade of quite high quality used and passed off as Hetian jade, if it weren't for the black spots made on it, Chu Chen would have almost not seen it at first glance.

Some ancient jade can be affected by minerals in the ground, resulting in dark spots. The method of black spot fraud is to put the "jade" in boiling water and boil it thoroughly, and then use soaked broken cotton, wrap the stone and then put it on the fire to barbecue, and when the cotton is burned to ashes, apply wax to the stone, wipe it while turning it, and wipe it evenly to produce the desired effect.

Fake jade with "black spots" like this is very deceptive, and the quality of the jade is not bad, so it is not surprising for people like Du Hou who are not proficient in jade. (To be continued......)
