The three of them sat quietly for a while, the atmosphere was a little weird, Huang Shi then remembered that he was in Daming at the moment, and he was now an immortal master, so the two naturally couldn't let go, this thing really has advantages and disadvantages. Huang Shi took out a large stack of copy paper from the light gate, which was a picture of some cultural relics he downloaded from the Internet, such as Yuan, Ming blue and white, Clark porcelain, and Song, Yuan, Ming and earlier dynasties of copper coins, official gold and silver ingots, as well as Song, Yuan, and Ming periods of Jiaozi, treasure money, etc., and even some jade, Shoushan stone, Tian Huangshi, jade, etc., and some miscellaneous items such as incense burners, ancient books, etc.
These pictures, Huangshi spent a lot of time, carefully selected, selected pictures are not only large and high-definition, and then downloaded, sorted into a document, and then printed out 3 copies with the newly bought color laser printer, one of which was stored by him in the small home where he lives now, and the other is placed in the villa, and he has to rush back, and the few hourly workers invited from the community property in the morning are doing the sanitation of the entire villa, and at noon I have to pick up the master of the door store to change the locks. It's a lot of things.
Looking at the 1-foot-tall thing that Huang Xianshi took out, Mu Dexian and Zhou Mingrui didn't know what the Dao was, and saw that the whole body was snow-white and layered and looked like an enlarged ice cream, but it was whiter and thinner, and there were no sesame seeds. Huang Shi stood up and motioned for them not to follow, and then took out the top two and placed them in front of the two of them, which were two high-definition pictures of Yuan Qinghua.
The first of these was the "Guigu Xiashan Yuan Blue and White Jar" auctioned at Christie's in London on July 12, 2005, and the transaction price was equivalent to RMB 2 at that time. 300 million. According to the international price of the day, this price can buy two tons of gold, which means that "Guigu Xiashan" has been promoted to the world's most expensive porcelain. And the second one is the "Ming Yongle Blue and White Ruyi Hanging Shoulder Folded Branch Flower Fruit Pattern Plum Vase" auctioned at Sotheby's Hong Kong on October 5, 2011, which is 1. The transaction price of HK$686.6 billion also set a new record for porcelain auctions in the Ming Dynasty.
Mu Dexian and Zhou Mingrui only understood at this time that this was paper, but the paper was square, the cut edge was straight without any burrs, and the surface was smooth without any flaws.
Subtle, it seems to be within reach, it is simply realistic to the point of incredible, and the hearts of the two of them only sigh that the painting technique of this fairy world is simply difficult to catch up with when the saint returns.
Then the two of them saw that under the paper, there was a line of small characters written in Lishu, the font was upright, the font was lubricated, and the pen was even, it was really a good word, but what does this "jar big flower Qingyuan Mountain Valley Ghost", "bottle plum pattern fruit flower branch folded shoulder like flower green music Yongming" meaning? Or Zhou Mingrui usually walks through the streets and alleys, engages in private teeth, so his mind is more flexible, he found that if he reads these words from left to right, it will be smooth, and the curtain show only reacted after a while, the books he usually touches, whether they are vertically or horizontally, are in the form of right to left, and he can't help but sigh how the rules of the fairy world are so weird.
Huang Shi saw that they had finished reading, so he pulled out the drawings of the porcelain classification on them one by one, and now the two of them could open their eyes even more, and saw all kinds of blue and white porcelain, each with different blue and white porcelain, there are dishes, wine pots, teapots, vases, pen holders, etc., the surface of the porcelain is also very exquisite, most of them are historical stories, there are Guiguzi descending the mountain, General Meng Tian, Xiao He chasing Han Xin, Yu Chi Gong riding the savior, three visits to the thatched house and other stories, a small number of patterns are flowers, birds, fish and insects.
The three of them carefully looked at these nearly 50 pictures, and it took nearly an hour, "Do you two know what this is"? The two glanced at each other, and replied idly: "Master Qiyu, is this the porcelain we use in our daily life", "Yes and no, do you two see that these porcelains are more exquisite than the ones you use in your daily life?" Look at these words again, do you know them"?
The two of them nodded again, "Master Qiqi, although these words are sorted left and right, those words are still vulgar characters, and the disciples and Brother Rui are all recognizable."
"You know, although our immortal realm is full of treasures, but there are some immortals who like these delicate things in the lower realm, this time this immortal master came to this world, in addition to other important things to do, there is also a reason to take the opportunity to collect these objects." Seeing that the two of them were listening carefully, Huang Shi continued to speak.
"You also saw it just now, these porcelains are all in the official kilns before the Zhengde Dynasty or some private kilns, and some of the artifact pictures that I will show you later, there is also a strict time limit, our fairy world is only interested in these before Zhengde twenty years, you have to keep this in mind", as he spoke, Huang Shi couldn't bear to say while changing the sentence and chewing the words, feeling too tired so he simply converted it into the vernacular.
"These official kiln porcelain is difficult for ordinary people to get, I heard that the waste products from the official kiln are to be smashed into fine pieces and buried, and only the best products are sent to the palace, and then distributed by the palace to the royal relatives and ministers and officials below, I heard that even if it is the palace and the minister's mansion, the reward is not given away."
"But", Huang Shi emphasized this point, "now these porcelains have been more than 40 years, and many of them may also be scattered to the people, the two of you, you can be divided into two roads, you can go to some big households or eunuchs in the city, and Mingrui you can go to some landlords' courtyards and small households outside the city to see if there will be such things."
Seeing that both of them nodded, Huang Kou continued, "The shape of these blue and white porcelains has both magnificent and majestic large vessels, as well as beautiful and dexterous small vessels, but no matter what kind of utensils they are, they are beautiful in shape, simple and dignified, and gorgeously decorated.
"First, cans: divided into large cans, including tall, short, octagonal 3 types, with lids usually up to more than 2 feet. There are also small cans, including the four-series square of the mouth, the double-series melon prism of the mouth, the double-series drum belly type of the lip-mouth, the double-series round-bellied type of the lips and shoulders, etc., and the body height is generally 3 inches; There are also drum lid jars. Octagonal ware is an innovative variety of the Yuan Dynasty. ”
"The second is the bottle category: there are plum bottles, jade pot spring bottles, garlic bottles, animal ear bottles, halberd ear bottles, and the characteristics of the Yuan Dynasty four series of flat bottles and tower cap bottles, etc., among which plum bottles, jade pot spring bottles are more common. The plum bottle is attached to the cap, and there is a tubular mouth in the cap, which is firmly enclosed with the bottle mouth. ”
"The third is pots: there are three main types in the world, namely Fengliu pots, pear-style pots, and holding pots, all of which are exquisitely made."
"The fourth is the bowl: roughly divided into two kinds, one is a high-foot bowl, with an open mouth and a mouth, and the other is a large bowl with a diameter of more than 2 feet. The other is the goblet is smaller, only about 3 inches high, and is also known as the target cup. Large bowls are generally more than 1 foot in diameter. ”
"Fifth, there are large plates, with a diameter of more than 12 and a half feet, and the diameter of the middle plate is generally about 1 foot), and the diameter of the small plate is about half a foot, and the fold is more common along the flower mouth shape."
"In addition, there are tripods, water bowls, incense burners, Guanyin, etc., among which the five shapes of goblets, jade pots, spring bottles, pots, plum bottles and large plates are the most."
Huang Shi said as he pulled out pictures corresponding to the introduction from the pile of papers just now, and let the two of them look at them carefully. He is now free to go back and forth between the two worlds, naturally he is not worried about the problem of making money, but there is a speed of making money, and there is a question of whether there is a greater profit margin, he originally hoped to find some small projects, such as the live chicken, but these days he spent so much money at once, and he couldn't help but want to find a profitable deal, that is first of all antiques, because of the prosperity of antiques, troubled gold, although there are many in modern society, but compared to all periods in history, it can really be regarded as an upright prosperous era, According to Jackie Chan's words, it is the best era in 5,000 years, so antiques with the humanistic value precipitated in them by history are unanimously sought after by the highest officials and the common people.
The second is gold trading, Huangshi is now ready to take care of a friend in a few days to cash out a ton of silver in the modern gold and silver exchange, to toss in ancient times, but that also takes time, can only be put aside temporarily. Now that he has two younger brothers, he naturally has to play a role, and as for whether Zhou Mingrui is willing, he is not worried at all.
"Come, let's take a look at what other objects are liked by our fairy world", said Huang Shi and showed the two of them the remaining pictures one by one, those were all made of money from various dynasties and generations, and now they were printed like big bowls; and some of the Jiaozi and treasure banknotes, which look more shabby on the pictures; And those jade, Shoushan stone, Tianhuangshi, jade, incense burner, ancient books, etc., Huangshi only selected some representative pictures for display, because the amount of such things is small and the value is uncertain, so he did not pay too much attention, just mention it slightly.
"Have leisure, tomorrow, Ziyuan will follow me to the fairy world for treatment, those four children, you will take care of them for a period of time, and they will not be lazy according to my original arrangement", Huang Shi wanted to wait for some time to go and see the four little guys, and I don't know how they were doing in the curtain show Cai family this day, "Ming Rui, are you willing to follow me for many years in the future"? "Willing, willing, the little one is willing to become the disciple of the immortal master", Zhou Mingrui was overjoyed when he heard it, and knelt down for Huangshi again.
