Hearing this, Wu Renmin said eagerly: "Ah! How could it be, Lao Chang swore to me at the time that he bought this thing from the family of a peasant whose ancestors had been a high-ranking official in the Qing court. ”

Wang Mingcai frowned when he heard this, he and Wu Renmin have been friends since childhood, and when he saw Wu Renmin so out of shape, he said seriously: "Old Wu, it's nothing in our business, as long as you can learn a lesson, with your current mentality, you will still suffer in the future." ”

When Wu Renmin heard this, he looked a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I just didn't expect Lao Chang to lie to me." ”

Wang Mingcai shook his head: "You, it's just too easy to trust people, it's not that I don't want to deceive you, I just want to make more money from you, now that he has earned enough money and is ready to emigrate, of course he can deceive as much as he wants." ”

Wu Renmin looked quite surprised and said, "Chang is ready to emigrate?" How did I not know this? ”

Wang Mingcai said speechlessly when he heard this: "Almost everyone around you has heard the news, you still don't know?" ”

Wu Renmin said with some embarrassment: "Didn't I go to the countryside to collect some goods recently, I only came back last night." ”

Wang Mingcai sighed when he heard this: "You actually went to the countryside to receive the goods again, I don't know how to say your good." ”

Wu Renmin waved his hand and said, "Lao Wang, don't worry, I'm not a fool, how can I be so easy to be fooled every time!" ”

"You......" Wang Mingcai tapped his finger a few times and said, "Forget it, I've seen these things in this matter." I'll tell you again. ”

"Okay!"

Wu Renmin nodded, and said to Wang Mingcai's words in his heart. Some disagreed, feeling that their friend was too unfounded. Of course, he also knows that this is for his good, and he is ready to listen to what his friends have to say, change it if there is one, and encourage him if he doesn't.

Then, he turned his attention and asked Chu Chen, "Boss Chu, what's wrong with my blue and white jar?" ”

While the two were talking just now, Chu Chen looked at other things. Hearing this, he said: "Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that the very old traces on the jar are actually made, but the old people are more powerful, and it looks natural, but it may still be the method we are familiar with." ”

The method Chu Chen said was to use potassium permanganate solution and add a little brown sugar. Apply all over the body, the bottom foot ring is emphasized, and wipe with a dry cloth after about 48 hours. Almost all the exposed places and opening parts are purple-brown with different shades. If you feel that the color of the soles is too dark, you can scrub them with laundry detergent. Polished with fine sandpaper to make the tire slightly white, like a glutinous rice tire. Visually gives an error.

Of course, it's quite simple to say. It's not so easy to really do what is fake and real. And the distressing on Wu Renmin's blue and white jar does look more natural, and it is easy for ordinary collectors to be eyed. Of course, if it weren't for this, Wu Renmin would not have been able to buy it.

Wu Renmin was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Boss Chu, are you talking about being sexual?" ”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, it's color, look here......"

As he spoke, he pointed out some of the old features on the blue and white jars, as well as some flaws.

"Hey!" Wu Renmin listened to Chu Chen's explanation, and sighed, his face was full of bitterness, but his mentality was not bad, and he quickly adjusted, and then asked Chu Chen to help take a look at other things.

Wu Renmin's luck was not bad, the few things he brought at the beginning, except for the blue and white jar, the other ones were genuine, which made him relieved at the same time, but also a little painful, in his words, he didn't know when, the value of the remaining things would rise to make up for the loss of the blue and white jar.

Next, the last thing left was a brocade that Wu Renmin took out at the end.

Wang Ming was a little surprised when he saw the brocade and said, "This should be Yunjin." ”

Wu Renmin said a little proudly: "Yes, it's Yun Jin, this Yun Jin is my harvest from going to the countryside this time." ”

Yun brocade produced in Jinling, has a history of more than 1500 years, to the Yuan Dynasty, Yun brocade became the special product of royal clothing, after the brocade process is becoming more and more mature and perfect, the Qing Dynasty, the varieties of Yun brocade have been quite numerous, for this reason the Qing government specially set up the "Jiangning Weaving Department" in Jinling, the weaving of Yun brocade flourished for a while.

Yunjin is mainly divided into four categories: "weaving gold", "library brocade", "library satin" and "makeup", among which the production process of "makeup" is extremely complex, from pattern design, picking flowers to material selection, dyeing, winding, threading, weft winding, and going through a number of complex processes. The weaving of makeup flowers is labor-intensive and time-consuming.

For a long time, Yunjin has retained the traditional weaving method, each loom must be coordinated by a jacquard worker and a weaver, skilled workers can only weave a five-centimeter-long cloud brocade at the end of a busy day.

Yun brocade also uses a large number of pure gold thread and sterling silver thread in weaving, and with colorful velvet thread, peacock down and other rare and precious brocade threads, this kind of material exquisite, at the expense of the cost of the system, is very rare in the textile industry, thus also making Yun brocade magnificent, dazzling, as early as ancient times there is a metaphor of "inch brocade inch gold".

In the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, "Jinling Yunjin" has always been an offering for the imperial court, and has been monopolized by the government, which is recorded in the literature. For example, in the Qing Dynasty Guangxu's "The Case of the Great Qing Dynasty", it is said that in the early years of Shunzhi, the imperial dresses, and the clothes of the four o'clock, the palace and the princess and the princess are all in accordance with the rules of the Ministry of Rites, and they are handed over to Jinling and other three places to weave Gongjin.

For example, the emperor's dragon robe, as usual, was made by the first-rate engineer of the Ruyi Pavilion at that time, and after the emperor personally approved it, he sent a special messenger to Jinling, and the weaving supervision calculated the various processes, and each piece of clothing was made with a number of materials, and a number of workers were made to send a special official to escort back to Beijing on time.

For example, the satin tail of the brocade material collected as a tribute in the Jinling Museum and the Jinling Yunjin Research Institute includes: "Jiangnan Weaving Minister Qinglin", "Jiangnan Weaving Minister Zengchong", "Jiangnan Weaving Minister Seventy-four", "Jiangning Weaving Bureau Inside", "Jiangnan Weaving Bureau Inside" and so on.

Like Wu Renmin's cloud brocade, the money left at the bottom is "Jiangnan Weaving Minister Seventy-four".

After Chu Chen read it. He said, "Boss Wu, how much did you buy this Yunjin?" ”

"Thirty thousand!" Wu Renmin gestured a little proudly.

Seeing this look on my friend's face. Wang Mingcai frowned and said, "Old Wu." If you don't understand anything in the future, you should not buy it. ”

Wu Renmin felt a little strange when he heard it: "What, this is a makeup cloud brocade, 30,000 yuan is still expensive!" ”

Wang Mingcai said: "Although this is makeup, it is actually hibiscus makeup. ”

Wu Renmin was a little surprised when he heard this: "What's the difference between this and makeup?" ”

Wang Mingcai explained: "Hibiscus makeup is also a colorful pattern on a satin bottom, but the color matching is not as complex as the usual makeup and Jinbaodi, the same two unit patterns adjacent to the top and bottom of the same section, and the color matching is the same, but there are several different colors on the whole material." ”

"So the weaving speed is also faster. In the past, makeup like this weave mostly used hibiscus flowers, so it was called 'hibiscus makeup'. Later, although hibiscus flowers were not used, all fabrics with this weaving method were still called 'hibiscus makeup'. Your cloud brocade is woven with this weaving method. ”

"Also, the most important point, if I'm not mistaken, this Yunjin should have been made in the last few years. Boss Chu, am I right? ”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "That's true......"

Speaking of which, he explained the basis for such a judgment.

Hearing this, the muscles on Wu Renmin's face couldn't help but twitch. After half a ring, he said depressedly: "Is there really nothing good in the countryside?" ”

"It's not that there are no good things in the countryside, but there are few good things. There are many things in general. ”

Wang Mingcai said: "Many people think that there are still many good things hidden in the countryside. They generally felt that the countryside was less affected by that special period. A lot of stuff is still there. Second, antiques in the countryside have long been transferred from the landlords' homes to the poor middle peasants, and the peasants do not know the goods and ask for low prices. Also, the peasants are honest and do not make fakes, and they can buy real things from them. ”

"Therefore, many people go to the countryside tirelessly, and the more remote the place, the more they want to go. I think there's probably a treasure there. Lao Wu, you should think the same way, right? ”

Wu Renmin smiled and said, "I think so, but there's nothing wrong with thinking so, right?" ”

"Wrong! Miss by a mile! ”

Wang Mingcai directly denied: "I deny it, I used to think so, but the actual situation is very different from these reasons......"

Then, Wang Mingcai introduced his understanding to Wu Renmin, and Chu Chen also thought it was true when he heard it.

To say, no one dares to deny that there are official kiln porcelain in the countryside, and it is true that some people bought a piece of Ru kiln porcelain in the countryside and made a fortune, but in fact, just like Wang Mingcai said, the countryside is not without things, but there are few good things, and there are many ordinary things.

Most of the landlords in the countryside are the same characters as Zhou Papi, and there may be gold buried in the ground of their homes, but it is unlikely that there are antiques hidden, and they are asked to spend money to buy antiques, the possibility is indeed there, but it is more difficult, after all, their cultural level is not high, and in their hearts, they want to maintain their value or gold and silver.

These landlords and old rich people have no antiques in their homes, and naturally there will be no antiques in the hands of poor middle peasants. This is the case for the majority, but there are also some special cases. Some official eunuch families and scholarly families do have things, these families are famous, and they have long known about it, how can they still distribute it to the poor and middle peasants?

Also, things in the countryside are generally not cheap, why? Because the peasants in our country are so poor, they think that the only thing they can value is those two jars and jars, and they count on it, can they sell it to you very cheaply? The more people asked him to buy, the more he dared not sell, and the higher the asking price, because he did not understand the true value of the thing, and he had to raise the price sharply so as not to suffer a loss.

Of course, Chu Chen can't deny that in the eighties and nineties, farmers sold things cheaply because they hadn't seen anything on the market, but now is the era of the information explosion, with the slow popularization of TV and the Internet, the news of the sky-high price of antiques is basically known to most people, and farmers are not stupid, he has things, how can he sell them cheaply?

Chu Chen has known a lot of shovels and collectors who love to run in the countryside in recent years, but they have no big gains, and sometimes the price of buying them is quite expensive. If you don't believe it, if you go to the countryside and buy a folk kiln bowl, it will be more expensive than the one on the stall in the city. This is because those farmers do not know the difference between official and private kilns, so the price of private kilns is based on the official kilns on TV.

Of course, because the farmer doesn't know the official kiln, if his family happens to have an official kiln, it is indeed possible to sell it cheaper, this kind of thing, Chu Chen has also encountered two or three times, but as mentioned above, the farmer's family rarely has official kiln things, Chu Chen can meet two or three times, it is already very lucky.

Finally, the more remote the place, the more you should not go. The more remote the place, the poorer, the poorer the place, the less valuable cultural relics and antiques, even if the landlord is old, generally there is grain and a small amount of gold and silver, this is no doubt. Think about it, the people in that place used to be so poor that they couldn't even afford pants, would they have the money to buy antiques?

In addition, in a place like this, safety also needs to be paid special attention, people are poor, for money is likely to do everything, you ask people everywhere to buy antiques, others will think that you have a lot of money, don't you think about your personal safety? In the end, don't buy antiques, but lose the money in the end, and you can earn it back if you lose it, what if you lose your life?

Hearing the end, Wu Renmin said: "Lao Wang, your words do make sense, but don't talk about others, Boss Liang also went to the countryside to receive goods, so he made a fortune!" ”

"Then don't look at what era Boss Liang went to the countryside to receive goods."

Wang Mingcai said: "He began to go to the countryside to receive goods in the eighties, and he didn't dare to collect it blatantly at that time, for fear of being caught by others, until 85 years later, everyone's minds were liberated, and he put his mind at ease, but you can't imagine the hard work at all." ”

"Moreover, the good times did not last long, and in the 90s, some unscrupulous people wantonly made fakes, and some unscrupulous people even sent fake goods to the countryside, put them in the homes of peasants, put them in the homes of honest land reform roots, and put them in the homes of poor landlords."

"Then make up a story, ask the root of the land reform or the landlord to memorize it, and tell them a price, without so much money, they can't sell it. Then he invited you into the urn, and waited for the collectors in the city to come. At that time, Boss Liang also suffered several losses, and if you don't believe that next time you have a chance, you can also ask him in person. ”

When Wu Renmin heard this, he was still a little reluctant to give up, and said, "Lao Wang, don't you also run to the countryside from time to time?" ”

Wang Mingcai said with a smile: "I do run to the countryside from time to time, but I don't use a shovel for a long time, I go to the countryside only after being notified by an informant, you think you will go over with a swagger, it's strange if you don't step on mines!" Don't you believe it, ask Boss Chu, will he go to the countryside to see the goods by himself without the notice of the informant? ”

Seeing Wu Renmin looking at him, Chu Chen took over and said, "If there is no informant or familiar friends, I really don't dare to run to the countryside, otherwise it is very likely that I will be hit by a 'landmine'." You know, the people who collect are smarter, and the people who plant mines seem to be smarter. ”

"For example, isn't this Huang Binhong's hometown, he took the imitation of Huang Binhong's early paintings as a landmine and put it in the peasant's home, this farmer, if you go to investigate, his ancestors really have dealings with Huang Binhong, and those paintings seem to be serious, and they were hit by thunder if they were not careful."

"In addition, the landmine planters also know how to prescribe the right medicine, what collectors in an area, what things they like, they have already done in-depth and meticulous research and research, ready special mines, one blow up one accurate. If you don't believe it, you can be a real person, you go to a strange village, put on a rich face, and specify that you want porcelain or something. ”

"The first time, you can't see anything, and after half a month, when you go again, you may see a little thing. You shake your head and say this thing is too low-grade. Half a month later, you go for the third time, and make sure that you can see the official kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even the five official kilns of the Song Dynasty, he can get them for you.
