Hearing Chu Chen say this, Duan Kun's heart moved, since it can be given to Zhenzhen, then this pair of things will not be bad, seeing that the stall owner has finished a business, he asked quietly: "Boss, how much is this pair of things?" ”

The stall owner said in an authentic Sichuan accent: "Little brother, you have a good eye, this pair of things is ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Chen interrupted with a smile: "Boss, let's not talk about the origin or anything, give a real price!" ”

The stall owner was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Oh, this little brother is also an insider, since this is the case, then it is considered one thousand and five......"

Speaking of this, he paused and added: "This is a pure silver fetal gold incense ball in the Qing Dynasty, one thousand and a half is really not expensive!" ”

If it is an incense ball in the Qing Dynasty, although the price of one thousand and a half is still a little expensive, it is not much, and the price offered by the stall owner is reasonable.

However, Duan Kun felt that since Chu Chen said that he could give it to Zhenzhen, the value of that thing would definitely exceed one thousand and five, and he would save him trouble, so he said directly: "Boss, you are also a real person, and I don't know how to bargain, since this is the case, I believe you, one thousand and five is one thousand and five." ”

Seeing that Duan Kun agreed so happily, Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe couldn't help but shake their heads slightly, with Duan Kun's character, if he mixed up in the antique industry, he would help him count the money if he sold it.

The stall owner knew that he had taken advantage of it, and he was in a very happy mood, and when Duan Kun paid the money, he wrapped the things very quickly, put them in a bag and handed them to Duan Kun.

"Boss, you don't have a good deal yet?" Chu Chen asked.

Listen to Chu Chen's question. The stall owner immediately knew that Chu Chen was a real insider, so he said with a smile:

"I do have one more thing. But ......"

Chu Chen smiled: "As long as your things are good, the price is good!" ”

The stall owner smiled and nodded. Then he took out something wrapped in newspaper from the box behind him, carefully opened the newspaper, and showed a blue and white gourd vase in the palm of his hand.

This gourd bottle is very small and exquisite, Chu Chen estimated that the height is only about ten centimeters, this bottle is constricted, with a double round belly, a corseted waist, and a concave circled foot. All-over blue and white ornamentation. The abdomen is small and large, and each is painted with a hexagonal brocade decorated with four dragon patterns. Waist light. The bottom blue and white book "Ming Jiajing year" regular script.

The tire of this bottle is fine and dense. The glaze is moist and bright, the bottom of the bottle is bright green glaze, the blue and white color is elegant, clear and clear, the halo is not strict, the color is light and elegant and bright, this color, the green material should be used in the middle of Jiajing lost equal green.

In addition, the pen is strong, the pen is thick and thick, and the body is fit. Rigidity and softness, vigorous and elegant.

Judging from the structure of the paragraph, the word "big" is wider, and the pen is obvious. The word "Ming" is next to the "moon". The bend is noticeable. The word "Ji" in the middle of the word "Jia", and the "mouth" part below is relatively wide and flat. The position next to the "Li" on the left side of the word "Jing" is higher, which is on par with the upper part of the "Qing" side on the right. These are the characteristics of the Jiajing Dynasty.

Sum up. Chu Chen can be sure that this is indeed an old thing that has been open to the next generation.

Emperor Jiajing believed in Taoism. The shape of the gourd bottle containing the elixir was all the rage. This gourd bottle is rare. Chu Chen still remembers. In the capital. Palace and treasure island old. The palace collects a Jiajing gourd bottle, its size and shape are similar to this bottle, but the decoration is slightly different. It can be seen that the gourd bottle in front of me is indeed a rare boutique and is very worthy of collection.

After Chu Chen finished reading the things, the stall owner said with a slight expression: "Little brother, my gourd bottle is good, right?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and nodded: "It's really good, and it can be regarded as the best of Jiajing blue and white, but Jiajing blue and white is far worse than Yongxuan and Chenghua blue and white, this thing is ...... How much does it cost? ”

When buying antiques, you always have to talk about some skills, among which the most important thing is to hit the seller's mood, because he can't understand the goods that don't know the details, and he doesn't dare to ask for too high a price, for fear of being laughed at by his peers. Of course, if the seller is Dong Xing, it is also convenient to bargain with the shortcomings of some things.

For the stall owner, Chu Chen's behavior has been seen a lot, but he really doesn't dare to open too high a price for this bottle, and the reason is simple, because as mentioned earlier, shovels generally do business in a short and flat way, and the price of this bottle was high when he bought it, so he didn't dare to hold it in his hand for too long.

And after all, the western province is the western province, and now it is only 2002, not as many rich people as in later generations, and it is really not too easy to get rid of more than 100,000 or 200,000 things locally. Because of this, when the stall owner saw Chu Chen's extraordinary dress and temperament, he would take out his things.

The stall owner hesitated for a moment and said, "Originally, I thought I wouldn't sell it if it was less than 200,000 yuan, but I think you guys are very happy to buy things, you can give 180,000 yuan, but you can't sell it any less!" ”

Chu Chen listened to the price, and he was very satisfied, such a bottle, if it is auctioned, it is estimated that it can be worth 500,000 or 180,000 yuan, which is already considered a leak.

"Okay! Boss, you are a happy person, 180,000 is 180,000! ”

Chu Chen happily agreed: "Boss, do you want to go to the bank to transfer money or write a check?" ”

The stall owner was really happy when he heard Chu Chen's promise, and he hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Let's go and transfer the money, the bank is not far from here, and it will be there in a few steps." ”

"Okay." Chu Chen nodded, then picked up a string of bracelets from the stall and asked, "Boss, how much is this bracelet?" ”

In fact, the reason why Chu Chen agreed to the price offered by the stall owner just now was because the stall owner seemed to have a resolute attitude, and the most important thing was that he fell in love with this string of bracelets.

THIS STRING OF BRACELETS IS MADE OF EIGHTEEN GOLDEN BEADS, EACH OF THOSE BEADS CHU CHEN ESTIMATED THAT EACH ONE SHOULD BE ABOUT 15MM, THE LUSTER OF THE BEADS IS RELATIVELY SOFT, AND THE SURFACE IS COVERED WITH SOME INCONSPICUOUS SMALL CRACKS.

The stall owner glanced at the string of bracelets, and then said, "You give 300!" ”

"It's a feeder, it's not worth much!" Before Chu Chen could speak, an old man in his fifties and sixties next to him spoke first.

In the antique shop, it is very taboo to comment on the master's things in front of the owner, or the things are fakes, etc., so the old man's interjection is quite taboo. However, it may be that the old man was an acquaintance of the stall owner, so the stall owner just smiled and did not say anything.

As for saying that the old man was kind enough to bargain for Chu Chen, it would definitely be impossible. The reason why the old man did this, Chu Chen felt that it should be that he had taken a fancy to the things in the stall and wanted to form an alliance and help him say a good word, so he helped first.

Now that he has a reason, Chu Chen also said: "Boss, count it as a hundred, I didn't even bargain for 180,000 yuan for this gourd bottle, and a piece of material is not worth much, but I like this golden one very much, and it's not bad to give it away when I go back." ”

"Give it to him, give it to him, everyone else has bought your 180,000 things, even if you give such a feeder, it's nothing." The old man continued to help, and Liu Sizhe and Duan Kun next to him also followed suit.

When the stall owner heard this, he thought about it and felt that this was the reason, after all, Chu Chen had also bought 180,000 things, and the feeder was not a good thing, so he sold it cheaper.

In antiques, the material is not plastic, but a glass with a low melting point mixed with other pigments or substances.

The material can make all kinds of handicrafts, there are also beads and the like, because this thing is relatively cheap, so in ancient times it was sold to the common people. Of course, there are also good things in the feeder, such as snuff bottles.

Seeing that the stall owner agreed, Chu Chen paid the money directly, and then casually put the bracelet in his pocket.

After the transaction was completed, the old man immediately picked up a piece of jade pendant and asked for the price, seeing this, Chu Chen of course also reciprocated the favor and helped the old man buy the jade pendant, and everyone was very happy.

After going to the bank to transfer the account and saying goodbye to the stall owner, Liu Sizhe said with envy: "You two have bought good things, but I have nothing to gain." ”

Duan Kun scratched his head and said, "What kind of good thing is this pair of incense balls of mine?" ”

Liu Sizhe said angrily: "Don't get cheap and sell well, if I'm still mistaken, your pair of incense balls should be from the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Isn't it, this thing would be from the Tang Dynasty?" Duan Kun took out the things and asked with an incredulous expression.

"This pair of incense balls is indeed from the Tang Dynasty." Chu Chen said with a smile.

The official name of the incense ball in the Tang Dynasty was incense sachet, also known as the incense burner. In the Tang Dynasty, it was commonly used among the aristocracy, also known as the "smoking cage", which was a kind of incense vessel, in which spices were placed in the bowl, and the aroma floated from the hollow place after ignition to improve the indoor air.

It is unique in that when the bedding is worn and burned for fumigation, no matter how the sphere rolls, the spices in the bag do not spill and burn the clothes. As a result, it has the dual function of lavender and heating, and serves both purposes. It uses the principle of gyroscope.

The Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Zhi also once wrote the poem "Incense Ball", praising it: "Conform to the vulgar only in the group, and do not waver in the center." Aijun's heart is not compassionate, and he is still burning for a long time. ”

In the poem, the special structure of the incense ball is used as a metaphor for the truth of being a person, and the outside must be in line with the situation, but the inside must not be swayed by the outside world, and the heart must always retain a fire-like unquenchable sincerity.

The pair of incense balls bought by Duan Kun are all made of sterling silver, hollowed out, carved with grape patterns, inlaid with gold birds vividly and expressively, the overall design is ingenious, the workmanship is fine, the gold and silver carvings are gorgeous, and they are full of interest.

This pair of incense balls has a beautiful shape, brilliant color, is truly ingenious, unique, incomparable, reflects the superb gold and silver craftsmanship level of the Tang Dynasty, is a very rare royal boutique, very rare.

Duan Kun said with a surprised face: "No, it's really a thing from the Tang Dynasty, so how much can this pair of things be worth?" ”

"I estimate the market value to be 150,000 to 200,000!" Chu Chen thought for a moment and replied.

Hearing the price given by Chu Chen, Duan Kunna was really overjoyed, and couldn't help but laugh...... (To be continued......)
