Chapter 141: Graveyard Taobao
Before five o'clock in the morning, Stuffy Dun'er drove a car to pick up Grandpa Xu and go to the northern suburbs to visit the black market.
Stuffy Dun'er is the kind of person who is full of flesh and taciturn, if he changes into a suit and wears sunglasses, he will be a social horse boy.
He playfully stuffed a handful of white rabbits into him, but he just pulled the corners of his mouth without speaking, and then put the candy in his pocket.
There are very few cars on the road now, and urbanization has not yet begun, and it takes less than 20 minutes to drive from Kuanzhai Alley to the farmland in the northern suburbs.
The car drove to a stop on the edge of a farmland and saw that there were no people for a mile or two around.
Then I walked along the ridge for a few more minutes, and then I came to a grave.
Huan Huan is really a little dumbfounded, it's really a mass grave.
It's not yet dawn, and if it weren't for the light of a flashlight inside, there would be a lot of people in the mass grave, which would be really scary.
Stuffy Dun'er directly took the grandparents and grandchildren to a middle-aged man who was squatting on a small grave bag and nibbling on steamed buns.
"The fourth brother has a prosperous business! This is a relative of my family who likes old things, I took them to see it! Stuffy Dun'er directly explained the intention.
Before the steamed bun in the mouth of the man named Fourth Brother had been swallowed, he stood up and said, "It's all brothers, what's polite, I'll send you home if you say hello!" ”
"How dare you bother the fourth brother? It's also the elders who want to bring the doll to the market! Stuffy Dun'er spoke very politely, "People will trouble the fourth brother to take care of it, and I will go back first if I have something to do!" ”
"Okay! Then we'll see you later, I'll ask you to drink when the sky is changed! ”
It was also very interesting to watch the conversation between the two, and they were very polite.
But the politeness of the two is still different, and the politeness of the stuffy dun is polite, which is quite arrogant.
And this fourth brother spoke to Stuffy Dun'er with a respectful meaning.
Thinking about it, although Fan Congli is a tease in front of Grandpa Xu, he is probably not a vegetarian outside.
Stuffy Dun'er greeted Grandpa Xu and left.
Then the fourth brother gave Grandpa Xu a general introduction, which stalls are probably selling what, those people are kind, and those people offer inflated prices, so they can be cut down with all their lives.
Grandpa Xu was still very grateful after hearing this, so he politely thanked him, and began to walk between the graves and bags with all his joy.
The first thing I visited was a jewelry stall, and Grandpa Xu helped him with a flashlight.
In a pile of silver and copper jewelry, I fell in love with a pair of earrings of jade rabbit pounding medicine.
The white jade carved rabbit falls under the large ring of gold wire, the jade rabbit is standing with its front paws holding a medicine pestle to pound medicine, and the feet are also stepping on the auspicious clouds of gold and gems, and the rabbit's eyes and head are lit with rubies.
This pair of jade rabbit earrings is the craft of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the jewelry of the Ming Dynasty is actually very magnificent, but the workmanship of this pair of earrings is relatively simple, and the design is also very childlike.
"How do you sell these earrings?" After looking at it twice, he began to ask for the price.
The stall owner was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, who looked at a small doll and directly left two words, "Fifteen!" ”
"Five!" Wan Huan stretched out a palm.
The young man waved, "Okay!" Five is five, I'll open it first! ”
Grandpa Xu immediately handed over the money, and took the pair of jade rabbit earrings with joy, and instantly regretted it, feeling that the counteroffer was too high, after all, the current jade is not valuable.
However, she regretted that it didn't last for a few seconds, because she found that there was a jewelry box in the stall next door, and there was actually a complete set of Diancui jewelry.
The hairpin ring is full of everything, and there is a dragon and phoenix pattern on the pattern, such a configuration and pattern is definitely not the regulation of the head used in singing during the Republic of China, and I guess that the identity of the original owner of this set of head must not be simple.
Diancui, that is, the bright blue feathers of the kingfisher are cut off and carefully inlaid into the metal base bracket a little bit, in which the craftsmanship is very delicate and complicated, and the ordinary level of craftsmen can not do it.
The emerald blue feathers are bright in color and lustre, with metallic gold convex edges and various colored gemstones.
Wearing it on the black hair of the ancient ladies like clouds, it is really delicate and smart, and it is brilliant.
Therefore, it was deeply loved by ancient concubines and noblewomen, among which the Ming and Qing dynasties were the most popular.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Diancui jewelry began to become popular among the people, and women at that time were all proud to own a piece of Diancui jewelry.
However, the feathers on the emerald are organic after all, and the color will fade over time, and it is very difficult to maintain.
The dotted emerald jewelry in the box in front of me is very well preserved, with bright colors and almost no damage, which shows the owner's degree of love.
"How do you sell this set of jewelry?" Wan Huan pointed to the jewelry box and asked the young stall owner.
The stall owner glanced at him, "There isn't much gold on the jewelry, and the little sister will give twenty yuan to take away!" ”
"Big brother, if it's twenty yuan, you can give me this box as a pairing, or I won't be able to bring it back!" After listening to the price, I had to make a request inch by inch.
The young man smiled happily when he heard this, "Okay! Anyway, I won't have anywhere to put this box when I take it back! ”
Grandpa Xu hurriedly took out two large unity sheets and handed them to the stall owner, then took the box and sandwiched it under his right arm at will.
After the delivery of the money and goods was completed, Grandpa Xu pulled Duan Huan and continued to walk forward, and Duan Huan bought two "fire oil diamonds" at a stall at a price of forty-five yuan.
"Fire oil drill" is the old Hujiang era, the name given by the drunken gold lady of Hujiang, fire oil refers to kerosene, fire oil drill is a metaphor for the blue shadow of the diamond when the fire oil burns.
The staggering price of fire oil diamonds was once described in "Lust and Caution", and the pink pigeon egg that Mr. Yi bought for Wang Jiazhi was also a fire oil diamond.
The two oil diamonds I bought were both four or five carats, because they were about one centimeter in diameter.
The stall owner sold it to Huanhuan for forty-five yuan, not that the stall owner didn't know the goods, but in this day and age, diamonds are not as hard currency as gold, and even other ruby sapphires are not as good as others.
What's more, gold can only be exchanged for cash at the bank, and there is no place to buy anything with gold except on the black market.
I thought that after buying the oil drill, I would probably not be able to touch anything good, but I found a stall selling porcelain in the innermost part of the tomb bag.
It may be because porcelain is the most unsalable on the black market, so the stall is also placed in the innermost, which is not conspicuous at all.
After several years of experience in the acquisition station and black market Taobao, the pastels and blue and white flowers on the stalls cannot be in the eyes of Huan.
Because it is imitated during the Republic of China, it is good to buy it back and really use it as a utensil, so the collection value is not desirable.
With a sweep of his eyes, he took a fancy to a blue and white porcelain plate on a blue glaze round wash, which looked elegant and pure, very Song Dynasty style, turned over and looked, sure enough, there was a mark of Ru kiln.
Ru kiln porcelain can be called the "giant panda" in ancient porcelain, because it is extremely scarce, so it is extremely precious.
Ru porcelain is the first of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, since ancient times, there is a saying that "the head of celadon, Ru porcelain is respected", Ru kiln is an official kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the porcelain of burning paper is used by the court, and it is rarely used in the people.
Later, during the Jingkang Rebellion of the Song Dynasty, the capital was forced to move south, and a lot of Ru porcelain was destroyed in the process.
In the turmoil, the kiln site was deserted and the technology was lost, so the Ru porcelain handed down from generation to generation became even rarer.
Duan Huan picked up the pen to wash and watched, and Grandpa Xu also intimately used a flashlight to help Duan Huan illuminate.
This brush wash meets all the identification conditions of Ru kiln "blue as the sky, the face as jade, crab claw pattern, the morning star is scarce, and the sesame seed earns the nail glaze to meet", and nine times out of ten it is genuine.
After the millennium, Ru kiln porcelain will be auctioned at a price of hundreds of millions at every turn in various auctions, which is enough to see the rarity and preciousness of Ru kiln porcelain.
"Comrade, how can this round bowl be sold?" Huanhuan picked up the pen and asked the stall owner.
The stall owner is a middle-aged man, and it is rare to see customers come to the door, so when someone asks, he is very enthusiastic, "Little sister baby, this vegetarian bowl is cheap, two yuan!" ”
"Two pieces?" Duan Huan repeated the price as if he was thinking, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart.
"Little sister baby, you have to think it's expensive, I still have a lot of good things here, you see, this is pastel porcelain, how beautiful!" The stall owner was afraid that it would be too expensive, so he left, and hurriedly picked up a pastel gaiwan teacup to sell.
Wan Huan shook his head, "Uncle, I don't like these flowers, do you have anything the same color as this round bowl?" ”
"Little sister, wait a while, I'll look for it, I remember there is another bottle and two plates!" The stall owner immediately rummaged through the bamboo basket behind him.
Huan looked at the other things on the stall quietly, but after seeing the authentic Ru porcelain, other things can also be ignored.
The middle-aged uncle rummaged through the two baskets behind him for a long time, and finally found an azure melon jar and two sunflower plates in the straw.
Wan Huan took the plate of the melon bottle and the sunflower mouth and put it down, and then began to examine it carefully.
The stall owner chatted with Grandpa Xu, "Old man, your granddaughter's hobby is really unusual, why do you like things that are green and green without patterns?" ”
"Isn't it broken now, the plain ones are not eye-catching, and you can still put a dish and water when you take it back!" Grandpa Xu smiled and sloppily with the stall owner, "How much are these bowls, plates, bottles and cans?" ”
The middle-aged man smiled all over his face, "Old man, I see that you buy these porcelains for the sake of your family, do you think it's a total of ten yuan?" Now you need industrial coupons to buy bowls and plates from the supply and marketing cooperatives! ”
"Okay, I just don't have to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to squeeze it, it's all trouble-free!" Grandpa Xu immediately handed over ten yuan.
The stall owner took out a stack of newspapers from the basket and helped him wrap up his things.
Looking at his rough movements, he couldn't wait to say: Uncle, can we be gentle, you are carrying porcelain worth tens of millions and hundreds of millions in the future!
Grandpa Xu took out a piece of cloth, wrapped these newspaper-wrapped porcelain, wrapped a bag, and carried it on his back.
Then I walked to the calligraphy and painting stall, which was as deserted as the porcelain stall, and there was no one to ask the price.
Grandpa Xu's enthusiasm for buying books is higher than that of Duan Huan, and he picked out more than a dozen books and calligraphy for Duan Huan in one go, and each book is only two cents.
A large number of miscellaneous paintings, I picked more than 20 of them.
I don't understand calligraphy and painting, and there are many fakes of calligraphy and painting. So I can only buy it with a pleasing look.
However, the stall owner's pricing criteria for calligraphy and painting made everyone cry and laugh.
The price of the painting is not based on the artist's fame and historical value, and it seems that the paper scrolls are more expensive than the old ones.
What kind of logic is this, even if it is broken now, normal people know antiques, antiques, antiques, and the old ones are better than the new.
More than 20 paintings and more than 10 books, a total of only six yuan and five, this price made Grandpa Xu stunned for a moment, and he sighed in his heart:
The status of cultural people is embarrassing now, and these calligraphy and paintings, which were once regarded as treasures by scholars and rich people, have also become feudal dross, what kind of world is this?
