Chapter 2 Curium porcelain

As a well-known Bac Giang Cultural Expo City in Bac Giang City, there are a lot of people on weekdays, and it is even more crowded on weekends.

This cultural and museum city is composed of three retro glazed tile streets, bringing together all kinds of goods and shops such as ancient and modern treasures, ceramic miscellaneous pieces, strange stone woodcarvings, old paintings and calligraphy, classical furniture and even Western antiques.

It is said to be a cultural and museum city, but in fact, it has long become an excellent place for hunting, strolling, playing, and killing time.

Faced with this excellent place to enjoy the game, Xu Kun looked very anxious: "Andy, why don't we go to that house and sell it for 400?" ”

The two arrived here at nine o'clock in the morning, and visited fourteen antique shops in a row, almost none of which received the goods.

As soon as eleven of them spoke, the boss waved his hand, indicating that he would only sell and not collect.

Yes, this is not a handicraft counter, or an old river and lake that only accepts acquaintances.

There are also two families who looked at it twice, and gave dozens of dollars to buckle the rope, what is it, this is purely called Huazi?

There is only one boss who looks at it for a longer time, but no matter what Yu Shengan says about the characteristics of Kangxi cowpea red glaze washing, he will only give 400 yuan at most.

That's it, the shopkeeper also swore that "my price is already very fair, and now that fakes are rampant, I have to guard against smashing my hands, right?" ”

In those words, it was almost clear that 'your bowl is also half true and half false'.

"Don't worry, take a look, it's really not possible, let's go to the pawnshop and the auction house to take a look, there are more masters over there, you should know the goods." The rest of his life is an old Jianghu road.

"This-" Xu Kun nodded a little indecisively: "Okay, listen to you!" ”

As they spoke, the two entered an antique shop.

This is a corner shop, the area is very cramped, at most fifteen square meters, which is full of root carvings, bottles and cans.

Although the shop is small, there is still a small desk inside, an old man and a middle-aged man are detained on a small horse, drinking small tea, and talking about the world.

The two didn't say hello when they saw Yu Sheng'an, chatting and farting by themselves.

Yu Sheng'an was not annoyed when he saw this, and walked over and was about to ask, when the light in the room suddenly dimmed, and a black and thin man appeared at the door.

"Old Hantou, are you there? I've collected a few good things this time to show you. ”

The familiar voice surprised the rest of his life.

He turned his head to look, and although he couldn't see the person clearly against the light, the thin outline still made him recognize the person.

This person is none other than the black and thin middle-aged man who went to their village yesterday to shovel the ground.

The dark and thin middle-aged man obviously didn't recognize Yu Sheng'an, he held a cardboard box and squeezed into front of the counter amid the shouts of "let let".

However, he was still shouting to see the goods, looking at Yu Sheng'an and the others, and he didn't say anything next.

"What do you two want?" An old man finally greeted Yu Sheng'an, who was the owner of this antique shop, "Old Hantou".

"Received?"

"Sorry, we don't receive goods here." The old Han waved his hand again and again.

"What?" Old Han Tou was interested in the middle-aged man in black casual clothes.

"Kangxi cowpea red glaze wash!" Yu Sheng'an didn't talk nonsense, and took out the red glaze from the cloth bag to wash.

"It's you—" The thin black and thin middle-aged man who squeezed in finally recognized Yu Sheng'an, no, it should be said that he was too impressed with this bowl.

"You know?" The middle-aged man in casual clothes asked.

"I can't talk about acquaintance, I met yesterday when I received the goods, saying that I deceived them, and swore that this was cowpea red porcelain!" When the black and thin middle-aged man said this, his eyes rolled: "Master Xin, you have old and spicy eyes, do you see that this is cowpea red porcelain?" ”

Xin Ye smiled, pointed to the red glaze in Yu Sheng'an's hand and said, "Can you show me?" ”

"Okay!" Yu Sheng'an handed over the red glaze wash.

When Xin Ye took it, the old Han Tou, who said that he would not receive the goods, also came over, and the two of them turned their heads over and over for a long time, and couldn't help but raise their eyes and look at each other, both of them saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.

"Master Xin, I haven't received it in the cowpea red porcelain shop before, you also introduced it to me, I remember that it also has a nickname called What Beauty......"

"Beauty!" Xin Ye added.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's a beauty!" The black and thin middle-aged man patted his thigh: "Look at this porcelain, it's black and not slippery, it's like elm bark, and it's cowpea red porcelain, it's a deception!" ”

Xin Ye took a slight breath: "This is Kangxi cowpea red porcelain!" ”

"yes, I'll just say...... What? This... This is Kangxi cowpea red porcelain?! The black and thin middle-aged man was suddenly shocked, his eyes almost burst out, and he stammered when he spoke.

"Beauty Ji is red, warm and lovely, soft and pleasant, like twenty-eight virgins, so it is called Beauty Ji! This is dark red and almost black, you just said, like elm bark, you are right, this cowpea red porcelain is called elm bark! Xin Ye said impartially.

The black and thin middle-aged man was dumbfounded, and looked at Yu Sheng'an with a hellish expression.

Xu Kun, who was next to Yu Sheng'an, widened his eyes even more, and couldn't help but look at Yu Sheng'an, his eyes were full of shock and shame!

To be honest, even if he and Yu Sheng'an grew up bare-assed, he didn't believe Yu Sheng'an's words.

Especially the frustration of visiting fourteen stores in a row before made him even more annoyed. But how strong these negative emotions were before, how shocked he is now!

"Young man, you want to sell this porcelain?" Xin Ye looked at Yu Sheng'an.

"Yes!"

"What is the price?"

"How much can you drive?"

"Three thousand!"

Yu Sheng'an's brows furrowed when he heard this.

Xu Kun was even more anxious: "Boss, you said it yourself, this is Kangxi porcelain, only three thousand, this is too low, right?" ”

As he spoke, he snatched the red glaze wash, for fear of being taken by Xin Ye as his own.

"Three thousand is already very fair, you look at the porcelain bottom for yourself, the cracks are dense, isn't this ice cracked porcelain with cracks as beauty? With this kind of quality, I have to take a lot of risk for three thousand harvests. Xin Ye said slowly.

"This ......" Xu Kun was dumbfounded.

The black and thin middle-aged man suddenly became angry: "Look at it, I just said that even if this is an antique, it is not worth much if it has these cracks." ”

"Andy, look?" Xu Kun didn't pay attention to this goods, and subconsciously looked at Yu Sheng'an.

"Three thousand is too little, excuse me!" Yu Sheng'an didn't talk nonsense, turned around and left.

He checked the price of Kangxi cowpea porcelain, and the lowest estimate was around 80,000!

Even if the quality is different, the valuation sole should not be three thousand, at least a five-figure figure must be given to meet its value.

Seeing this, Xu Kun also hurriedly turned around and left, but this time his mood was completely different.

"Hey, wait, three thousand two, three thousand five, my price is really good, I don't believe you go all over Wenbo City, no one will open such a high price, I enjoy it myself!" Wait, I've served you, four thousand, this is the reserve price! ”

Seeing Yu Sheng'an and the two walking, Xin Ye couldn't help but keep people, and the price rose again and again.

When he reported to the "Four Thousand", Yu Sheng'an, who had already walked to the door, stopped.

Without waiting for Xin Ye to show his joy, Yu Sheng'an said: "Xin Ye, I want to ask, since the bottom of the bowl is full of cracks and is worthless, why are you keeping it?" ”

yes, it's worthless, why are you keeping it?

Xin Ye thought for a while and said, "It's okay to tell you, Curium porcelain knows, right?" ”

Xu Kun shook his head. Yu Sheng'an neither shook his head nor nodded, but just looked at him seriously, making people confused about the reality.

There is a folk saying: "Don't do porcelain work without diamonds".

The diamond here is talking about curium porcelain.

If the clothes are broken, they can be sewn and repaired, and this porcelain can be sewn and repaired when they are broken, and this craft is curium porcelain! To put it bluntly, it is to use gold, silver, copper and iron to fill in the gaps.

In the past, porcelain was a precious item, and it was broken and reluctant to lose it, so this craft was developed.

It's just that with the passage of time, the development of this craft has become more and more exquisite, more and more fancy, and even has become the icing on the cake of porcelain, once reaching the height of the temple.

There are even people who love it, buy and return pearls, specifically looking for a porcelain with good quality, filling beans, filling it with water, and using it to make porcelain!

"I won't hide it from you, although the quality of this red glaze wash is extremely poor, but if you can find a skilled craftsman, repair the curium porcelain, and shape the bottom of the bowl, it is still very likely to regain its brilliance!"

Xin Ye continued: "Little brother, four thousand harvests, it is really a very sincere price, curium porcelain is also risky, and not everyone can know the skilled craftsmen, and even afford it." It is to be able to afford it, and the curium porcelain charge is less than tens of thousands, and it is even more boundless, how high is the cost, I don't need to say it in detail, right? If you think I'm fooling you, and the red glaze is washed in your hands, you can go out and ask. ”

Xin Ye's bright and upright words made Xu Kun entangled.

He pulled Yu Sheng'an to the outside of the store and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?" ”

Yu Shengan said in a low voice: "It seems to be quite sincere, whether you sell it or not, it depends on what you mean, after all, it is your thing." ”

Xu Kun thought for a while and said: "We have also visited a lot of homes, and it is easy to meet someone who is willing to pay a high price, so let's sell it if we sell it!" This bowl is really not in good condition, otherwise people would not have lost it and was picked up by my mother. ”

Yu Sheng'an nodded: "Don't be in a hurry to sell it first, you can't make a fortune with these four thousand, I also brought an old object, see how much it can be sold, when the time comes, if I have more money, I will make it up to you, keep this bowl, and when you have money in the future, find someone to make porcelain." ”

"Ah, you brought old things with you, too?" Xu Kun was surprised.

"What? You are only allowed to have antiques in your house, but I don't have them in my house? ”

"No, no, I just think that you have gone out this time, as if you have changed a person, if it weren't for you, our family would not have died?"

"After all, I haven't been out for nothing in the past few years, hahaha......" Yu Shengan laughed.

It's just that there is a trace of bitterness hidden in the depths of his smile, no one knows, the moment before he obtained this ability, he was lying in the mud puddle in a daze, feeling how desperate it was for that shovel of dirt to hit his body!
