Chapter 895: Pocket Furnace
To say that it is impossible for Chu Chen not to be moved by such a precious peacock blue glazed porcelain, but he didn't know what Shopkeeper Peng meant, so he asked, "Shopkeeper Peng, can you tell me what you think?" ”
Shopkeeper Peng smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Chu, the preciousness of this kind of Xuande peacock blue glazed ware, you must know that I will definitely not be willing to sell such a treasure." ”
When he heard this, Chu Chen already somewhat understood what Shopkeeper Peng meant.
Looking at Chu Chen's expression, Shopkeeper Peng said with a smile: "Just like you think, I want to use this peacock blue glazed plate for something in your hand." ”
"What's that?" As soon as Chu Chen asked, he immediately reacted, Peng's hobby and the type of antique shop he operated, so it seemed that he only had that piece of white chess in his hand, which was worth exchanging for this precious Xuande peacock blue glazed plate.
So, he immediately asked again: "Do you want to exchange it for my white chess nan?" ”
"Yes!" Shopkeeper Peng nodded again and again, and then said with some emotion: "I have also been fortunate to taste Bai Qi Nan at my master's before, that kind of fragrance, I will never forget jì in my life." At that time, I swore that I would get a piece in my life. However, over the years, I have been missing out, either because the owner doesn't sell it, or it's too expensive for me to buy......"
Speaking of this, he exhaled a long breath, as if he wanted to exhale all these years of depression together, and then smiled again: "Fortunately, I was lucky some time ago and got a peacock blue glazed plate, and I will convert this thing into five million, I don't know if you can let me fulfill my wish for many years?" ”
Chu Chen smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Peng." You don't have to, let's take what we need! ”
Five million for this peacock blue glazed plate. It's still cheaper, but it's an acquaintance after all. Chu Chen didn't want to take advantage of Peng's shopkeeper, and he would definitely give him some discounts at that time.
Seeing Chu Chen agree, Shopkeeper Peng was ecstatic, so many years of wish had been fulfilled today, which made him excited and difficult for himself, and after a while, he calmed down his excitement.
"I'm so sorry for the gaffe!"
Shopkeeper Peng smiled apologetically at Chu Chen. Then he couldn't wait to ask: "Shopkeeper Chu, do you see ...... us?"
Chu Chen looked at the time, it was already past three o'clock, and said, "That's it, I'll bring the things over tomorrow, what do you think?" ”
Shopkeeper Peng wished he could complete the transaction now, but the time was not coincidental, and he could only sigh regretfully in his heart and said with a smile: "Okay." But this peacock blue glazed plate, you can take it back first. ”
Chu Chen knew that Shopkeeper Peng was afraid that he would change his hexagram, so he waved his hand and said, "Since I promised you, I will definitely not change my hexagram." ”
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Peng hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Chu." I'm not worried at all that you're going to change my fortune, it's just that this plate is related to my long-standing wishes, in case something happens. I don't have a place to cry, so you can take care of me. Take it back with you! ”
Shopkeeper Peng's mood of suffering from gains and losses, Chu Chen can also understand. But what he said was an exaggeration. Of course, since the words were all said and done, Chu Chen didn't shirk anymore, and then put the plate back in the box.
When Chu Chen put his eyes back on the brocade box, he found that this box was also a little extraordinary, this brocade box was rectangular, with wood embedded in the middle, and the relief of the group of beasts. The flowers are gorgeous and vibrant; The little beast is galloping, agile and lively. The whole work is gorgeously decorated, exquisite in craftsmanship, and very elegant.
Judging from the style of making zuò, this brocade box should be a work of the late Qing Dynasty.
Seeing Chu Chen looking at the brocade box there, Shopkeeper Peng explained with a smile: "Speaking of which, I was able to get this peacock blue glazed plate, which is also a blessing for this box, and I have encountered such a good thing as buying a treasure and sending treasure!" ”
"Oh! What's going on? Chu Chen asked with some surprise.
Next, Shopkeeper Peng recounted his experience of picking up the leak a little proudly, but he didn't know that at this time, Chu Chen's attention was focused on the "inside" of the box in front of him, because when Chu Chen inadvertently used the ability just now, he actually found that there was something else inside the box!
Shopkeeper Peng told the story of buying and giving away treasures, but he didn't expect that he would do such a thing. This scene made Chu Chen feel very novel, but the "treasure" sent by the shopkeeper Peng could not be determined whether it existed or not, and it must be known after investigation.
In the end, Shopkeeper Peng saw Xiao Guo standing next to him listening to the appearance with relish, so he said with some seriousness: "You, don't always like to listen to the story of picking up leaks, everyone wants to pick up leaks, but you must have the corresponding eyesight!" If you can't walk and want to run, then you will fall in the future! ”
Hearing this, Xiao Guo nodded to show that he understood, and at the same time, he remembered his experience of this eye-piercing, originally he wanted to buy it and sell it to make a profit, which was used to improve the life of the family, and at the same time to add some capital to his future collection.
But he never thought that now it would be such a result, let alone 200,000 now, even 20,000 should not be sold, you know, this 200,000 is their family's savings, and his parents did not approve of this transaction at the beginning, and now the result is like this, he doesn't know how to face them.
Thinking of the end, Xiao Guo asked with a sad face: "Master, how much is this jar of mine worth now?" ”
Shopkeeper Peng shook his head and sighed, and said, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me, and I will definitely help you as much as I can." In addition, eye-catching is a very normal thing for our industry, and you don't have to be too frustrated, as long as you keep studying, these losses will be made up for sooner or later. ”
Although Shopkeeper Peng said so, the depression in Xiao Guo's heart at this time did not decrease at all, and even for a moment, he felt disheartened about the antique industry and wanted to escape from this circle.
However, immediately the stubbornness in his heart came back to him, and he thought, "If I do this, won't I become a deserter?" What will the master and friends think of me? Besides, can I only pay for these losses myself? No way! I must climb out of where I fall! ”
Although Xiao Guo cheered himself up, the biggest problem in front of him now is how to solve the family's funds? You must know that this time because he bought antiques, he has spent all the family's savings, and now he is full, and all the cash in the family should be less than 500 yuan.
Although this money can survive until next month's salary, but as the old saying goes, if you don't have food in your hand, you panic, what if something happens during the period? Do you really want to borrow it from a master?
"What a fool I am! Isn't there still some stuff at home, although it's not worth much, but it's okay to sell it to save the emergency. ”
Xiao Guo lowered his head and pondered, and suddenly thought that he still had thousands of things worth selling at home, and besides, in addition to the jar beside him, there was also a good-looking gadget, in his eyes, even if that thing was not worth much, two or three hundred should still be sold.
So, he hurriedly said: "Master, shopkeeper Chu, I still have a gadget here, please help the two of you take a look......
As he spoke, he took out a very small and delicate looking stove from the box containing the blue-glazed white dragon jar.
The incense burner is a type of incense burner that mimics the style of bronze vessels, and it was used for court ceremonial activities. It is a sacrificial vessel, used to burn incense.
But the Gui furnace in front of him is too compact, Chu Chen estimated that the height of the furnace was only about five centimeters, such a small Gui furnace, Chu Chen had really not seen it before, which made him a little suspicious, whether this would be a modern handicraft, but from the perspective of pulp, it looked like an antiquity.
"Shopkeeper Chu, you are an expert in porcelain, you can take a look first!" Shopkeeper Peng smiled and made a gesture.
Chu Chen smiled politely, and then took the pocket incense burner in his hand and looked at it carefully, but this look made his face show a look of surprise, because if he was not mistaken, this was actually a work of the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was likely to be a tribute.
I saw that this instrument was neat and beautiful, with the mouth edge skimmed outward, and there were two convex chord lines on the neck. The belly is bulging, and there is a pair of dragon ears on the abdominal wall, which is vigorous and powerful, and the proportions are harmonious. The whole body is covered with a delicate pink and green glaze, and the glaze is thick and moist, with a jade-like effect.
The mouth of the vessel is a circle of mangkou, the sole of the foot is exposed, and the carcass is added with iron-containing purple gold soil, so the tire color is white with gray, which conforms to the characteristics of pink and blue glazed porcelain. The exposed fetus is a rich flint red. To sum up the above characteristics, it can be determined that this furnace is a typical Longquan kiln product in the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, and it is a rare treasure.
Chu Chen looked left and right, and found that there was no possibility of this furnace being faked, and in the end, he even used his ability, and the result given was undoubtedly genuine.
Seeing the incredible look on Chu Chen's face, Shopkeeper Peng asked, "Shopkeeper Chu, is there anything special about this thing?" ”
Chu Chen smiled and said: "This Gui furnace is actually a genuine product of the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty, and I guess it is still a tribute porcelain, do you say it is special?" ”
"What!" Shopkeeper Peng and Xiao Guo immediately exclaimed, and they didn't believe their ears for a while.
Chu Chen felt quite normal about the reaction of the two, because he had seen such an artifact from the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty, but it was exactly the same, and it was so small, he really only saw the one in front of him, and because of this, he repeatedly confirmed whether this object was real just now.
Of course, Shopkeeper Peng knew that Chu Chen would not be joking about this matter, so after he came back to his senses, he hurriedly took the thing in his hand and observed it carefully, and from the characteristics of the small stove, he also confirmed that this was a treasure of the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty.
