Chapter 842: A Strange Discovery

Maybe he felt that Chu Chen had made a lot of money for himself today, and the fourth master didn't hesitate, so he said with a smile: "There are indeed two things, but I don't know, you don't see it, expert Chu!" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Uncle, we haven't seen this thing yet, how can we know if we can see it or not." ”

The fourth master laughed and said: "This is also the case, then you wait a while, I will go back to ......"

After speaking, the fourth master got up and walked to the inner room, and Chu Chen, the guide, and the young man were left on the scene.

At first, the young man didn't feel anything, but after a while, he felt uncomfortable and a little ashamed to be with Chu Chen and the others, in the end, he also knew that what his teacher did just now was indeed not authentic, but the matter had come to this, and the other party was his teacher after all, so he had nothing to say.

At this time, Qi Baofu said: "Some people, not to say that they are bad, but also mislead people's children, actually say that porcelain is a layman who can distinguish the authenticity by looking at the luster and the traces of use, according to what he said, the unused porcelain in the Forbidden City is a fake?" ”

The young man also knew that Qi Baofu was talking about his master, and he originally thought that Qi Baofu wanted to provoke the feelings between them, but after thinking about it carefully, Qi Baofu's words also made sense, according to his master's theory, what about the unused porcelain in the Forbidden City?

"Could it be that what the master said is wrong?" For a while, the young man couldn't help but get entangled.

Just as the young man was thinking wildly, the fourth master walked out of the back room with two things.

The fourth master put the things on the table, and asked with a smile, "Expert Chu." Look at these two things, do you like these two things? ”

Chu Chen and the others stepped forward to take a look. Two things, one of which is the same thing as a picture scroll. The other is a blue and white landscape figure plum vase.

However, when Chu Chen noticed the landscape characters drawn on the plum bottle, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, because the landscape scenery looked like the scenery in the treasure map, but there were only mountains in the treasure map, no water, and no other characters.

Chu Chen was curious. Hurriedly took the bottle in his hand and observed it carefully, this look made him frown a little, because with the rather ordinary painting on the bottle, he really couldn't think of Zhang Huoni's head.

However, what surprised him was that the name on the bottom of the bottle was printed with the word fire clay. This made him really unable to judge the authenticity of things.

After thinking about it, Chu Chen finally used a safe method and used his ability to identify. And the result left him somewhat speechless.

Because, this bottle is indeed made by Zhang Huoclay, and it should be a work of the thirties and forties. At that time, Zhang Huoni's painting skills were obviously superb. Chu Chen really couldn't understand why Zhang Huoni made such an ordinary bottle.

Maybe a friend asked. Is there something hidden in the bottle again? Chu Chen also hoped for this, but the truth was that there was nothing in this bottle.

Seeing Chu Chen holding the bottle in a daze, the fourth master felt a burst of secret joy in his heart, and felt that there was a play, so when Chu Chen came back to his senses, he asked with a smile: "Expert Chu, how is this bottle?" ”

"So-so!" Chu Chen told the truth.

When the fourth master heard this, he thought that Chu Chen said this, but he wanted to bargain, he felt that since this thing was Chu Chen's favorite, no matter how it was, it would not be bad, so he smiled and said: "Expert Chu, if you like it, I will transfer this bottle to you for 50,000 yuan, how about it?" ”

Chu Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he felt that this fourth master was crazy about money, and he dared to offer a price of 50,000 yuan for such a thing, so he directly refused: "Uncle, your price is really outrageous." ”

"And how much do you think is appropriate?" The fourth master asked.

"There are too many differences in cognition between us, so I won't talk about it." Chu Chen replied.

"Expert Chu, if you don't say it, how do you know that I don't want to, you just say it." The fourth master said with a smile.

When Chu Chen heard this, he put up a finger, and when he was about to speak, the fourth master said, "Ten thousand? ”

Chu Chen shook his head with a smile, and the fourth master continued: "If you have a thousand, it will be too little!" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "I'm talking about a hundred." ”

The fourth master looked surprised and said, "Ah! How can you do it at this price! ”

"So, we definitely can't get along!"

Chu Chen smiled, he knew that the reason why the fourth master offered such a price just now was that he felt that he was an expert, and all he liked was good things, but this bottle was really not a good thing, and there was no mystery hidden in it, and he had the ability to never forget it, so he could write down the qiē of this bottle, and of course he would not spend a lot of money to buy it.

"Do you feel wrong?" Seeing Chu Chen's indifferent attitude, the fourth master couldn't help but muttered to himself, and then said, "Expert Chu, if you help identify it, it's not more than a hundred yuan, right?" ”

The meaning of the words is that the things that Chu Chen has taken a fancy to are more than a hundred yuan.

Chu Chen shook his head: "This kind of thing is in the market, but it can be bought for a few dozen yuan, and I can buy it for a hundred yuan." ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, although the fourth master didn't say anything, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he felt that Chu Chen was fooling him.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Qi Baofu curiously took the plum bottle in his hand, and said while looking at it:

"This bottle is really not good...... Hey! Fireclay? Could it be that this is made of fire clay? ”

Hearing Zhang Huoni, Cao Jingde hurriedly put down the things in his hand, stretched out his head, and after a closer look, his expression was a little disappointed: "No matter what, Zhang Huoni will not be at this level, this bottle must be fake." ”

Qi Baofu shook his head: "I don't think it's too fake, after all, Zhang Huoni is just a counterfeiter, only the high imitation porcelain he made is collectible, as for his own money, and the production of zuò is so poor, what's the point?" ”

"Who are you talking about?" The fourth master asked.

Chu Chen briefly introduced Zhang Huoni's deeds, and then said: "I just think it's a little strange for Zhang Huoni to make a bottle like zuò, so I want to buy the bottle back and study it, otherwise I won't buy this thing anyway." ”

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, the fourth master was also skeptical, and said: "Expert Chu, since this bottle also has some value to you, you can add some more, count it as five hundred, what do you think?" ”

Chu Chen directly refused: "Uncle, I will really only sell a hundred for this bottle, and if it is too much, it will definitely not work, if you think it is not cost-effective, then forget it!" ”

As he spoke, he immediately began to look at another thing, which turned out to be a thangka.

Thangka is also called Tangga, Tangka, Department of Tibet. Transliteration refers to a religious scroll painting that is framed with colored satin and then hung for worship. Thangka is hidden. It is a unique art form of painting in ethnic culture, and the subject matter involves Tibet. There are many fields such as the history, politics, culture and social life of the clan. Most of the thangkas handed down are Tibetan Buddhism and Buddhism.

The thangka in front of me is the Mahasiddha Vivapa Thangka. Viwaba, which means protector of the Dharma, was a native of India around the seventh and eighth centuries. He was originally a prince, but later became a monk because of his misanthropy. He has been in Nalanda Monastery in India for a long time and served as the abbot of Nalanda Monastery. The tantric method he propagated was mainly the "Joy Vajra Continuation", which was later introduced to Tibet. District.

This thangka table xiàn is the image of Viwapa, the great achiever. Viwaba has a square head and big ears, a high bun on his head, two cheeks to his chin, his mouth, his eyebrows are covered with beards, his eyes are bulging, and his ears are ringed, which is completely the image of a yogi. The body is fat, with a large cloak on both shoulders and a Zen belt obliquely on the right shoulder. Sit in a game position with both hands on your chest to make a Dharma seal.

Behind him is a round head light and a body light, on which many wavy and arc-shaped radial lines are drawn, symbolizing the radiant light of the wisdom of the Mahasidddh. There is a square curved leg Zen stool under the body, a large animal skin is spread on it, and there are multiple layers of lotus petals stretched outward, the Zen stool has a backrest, and the two ends of the backrest are made into a wishful shape, which is extremely decorative.

This thangka uses vigorous and rhythmic, bright and vibrant lines, simply brushing the danqing, vividly depicting the image of Viwapa, fully showing the Tibetan ... The line drawing skills that the national painter is good at are a rare and very rare masterpiece of white thangka.

Chu Chen didn't expect that he would find a rare thangka work here, which made him feel that the trip was worthwhile.

After carefully distinguishing the authenticity of this thangka, Chu Chen raised his head and looked at Cao Jingde and Qi Baofu, who smiled slightly, and both expressed no interest in this thangka. Cao Jingde was not interested in Thangka because he was not interested, and Qi Baofu felt guilty because of what happened just now and wanted to make up for Chu Chen.

Seeing this, Chu Chen spoke: "Uncle, I really like this thangka, I don't know how much it will cost me to invite it back?" ”

At this time, the fourth master was still struggling, whether to sell the bottle to Chu Chen, when he heard what Chu Chen said, he was in good spirits, and then looked at the portrait in front of him that looked quite monotonous, thought about it, and said: "Expert Chu, I am also thanks to you today, so let's do it, if you want this painting, it will only cost 50,000." ”

Thangka 50,000 is not expensive, but today has made this fourth master make a lot of money, plus he is also an old treacherous person, of course Chu Chen can't agree to it, so he said: "Uncle, I really want to buy it sincerely, but 50,000 is really expensive, cheaper, it's 6,000, what do you think?" ”

"Six thousand!" The fourth master shook his head directly and said, "At least forty-five thousand ......"

Next, the two of you come and go, when Chu Chen talked about 18,000, the fourth master smiled and said: "Expert Chu, I think you are also a cheerful person, 20,000 plus this bottle, if you want it, take it?" ”

Chu Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Uncle, I can really only give out a hundred for this bottle, I promise you, the price is a bit big, if you really want to transfer, ten thousand, nineteen, I don't want a bottle." (To be continued......)
