Chapter 1 Liuli Factory (II)
Seeing that more than half a month had passed, and it was almost the traditional Chinese New Year, we had to dismiss the idea of going to the United States for the New Year, when Beijing had a strong New Year's flavor, fireworks had not yet been banned in the city, and Chinese New Year's Eve was still far away, and we could hear the sound of artillery fighting one after another, adding a bit of chaos to the already extremely lively thrift market. \\.0M//
Now Panjiayuan thrift market, than when we first came, it is much more lively, this person is black, one after another, of course, it is also due to the approaching New Year, these days there are more people in the vegetable market of non-staple food stores to buy New Year's goods, there are many people who have a hobby of getting together, seeing the crowds in the thrift market, they all follow to join in the fun, although the weather is cold, there are more and more people.
In the past year or so, Panjiayuan thrift market has indeed gradually become the climate, compared with the beginning, it has long been incomparable, in addition to the broken east and west and old goods, only a few antique toys are rich to the extreme, those calligraphy and painting, porcelain, pottery, bronze, guqin, ancient money, Xuan furnace, bronze mirror, jade, ancient inkstone, ancient ink, ancient books, inscriptions, famous paper of the past dynasties, ancient bricks and tiles, seals, silk embroidery, cloisonne, lacquerware, Yixing pots, enamel pieces, materials, teeth, bamboo carving, fans, wood furniture, weapons, Famous Stone ...... It's piled up, you can't see the other end when you stand at one end, you can see ten things a day, and you may not be able to see the things in this thrift market for a lifetime.
However, unlike the Beijing Liuli Factory that originated in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, it is all "cultural play", and the road of Panjiayuan is wild, and the things are also miscellaneous.
I have a reputation with the fat man, and I can't compare with those second-class dealers who dump fake things, and some of the old customers who often visit Panjiayuan, I don't know where they heard about it, they seem to know that Hu Ye and the fat man have a bright weapon in their hands, which is genuine - the bright weapon filtered out of the pit, even if it is just a mediocre bronze coin, it can't be prepared is the "pressure money" that the captain touched the gold from the old brown man's mouth.
I saw that many people saw me and asked me, "Are there any artifacts stolen from the ancient tomb?" Master Hu, even if you make an offer, as long as it is genuine, you will never make a counteroffer. β
I thought to myself that I hadn't shown up in Panjiayuan for some days, and as soon as the big golden tooth went abroad, he must have sent all his patrons to me, but how could I have any bright weapons in my hands, and it was also forbidden to often contact this thing, but fortunately, there were a lot of "green heads" obtained from the South China Sea, and the green heads and Ming weapons were actually similar in nature, but one came from the soil and the other came from the water, which is basically the difference between the bear's paw in the mountains and the shark fin in the sea. So he jumped to the buyers and watched the green heads.
Now the owners who play the collection feel that the jade market is bullish, but they only recognize the old jade with Lao Qin, although the Qingtou ancient jade is deep in color, it is resistant to being soaked in seawater for a long time, and the chalcedony is occluded by salt and brine, as if it is wrapped in a layer of extremely heavy lime, and even those who know the goods have to shake their heads.
When we were negotiating the price, someone who was familiar with each other in the thrift market came to tell me that it was the "Second Master Qiao" of the Liuli Factory Treasure Hall who invited us to come over, and I thought this matter was a little strange. That Qiao Erye is a big name in Beijing Liuli Factory, since before the liberation of the antique shop Zangzhen Tang, how many years have never walked the eye, in his hands have countless antiquities, in Panjiayuan also everyone knows that he is the "old Yuanliang" in the antique world. I had the heart to visit, but I couldn't get in touch with the introduction, and I didn't expect him to invite us over to talk about it, and I didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
After asking the person carefully, I learned that Qiao Erye heard that I have ancient jade from the South China Sea, he is a lover of antiquities, and it is very rare to see Qingtou old jade in Beijing, and it is difficult to see it in the market when he is free, so he specially asked someone to send a message and asked me to take the ancient jade to his house to sit down and see how the goods are.
I thought that there was finally a connoisseur who knew the goods, and I had the heart to go to Qiao Erye's house to open my eyes, so I hurriedly wrapped a bag of licensed goods with the fat man, and went straight to Yanshousi Street at the east end of the Liuli Factory, and put a two-story faΓ§ade at the intersection, which was antique and antique, quite good.
explained the intention to the people in the store, but did not go upstairs, but was directly sent to an old tube building far away from that, which was almost to the Xiannongtan. The building was in tatters, and the corridors were full of winter media from various families, as well as Chinese cabbage stacked as high as a wall. Second Master Qiao is used to living here, and he is reluctant to move places when he is old, so he usually lives here.
I saw that the second master Qiao was almost eighty years old, his hair fell out of the middle, but his long beard was snow-white, and his eyes were bright, and he looked energetic, old and immortal, and he hurriedly sat down when he saw us. There is a job to serve tea, the utensils are exquisite, the tea fragrance is strong, but we fat people are used to drinking a big bowl of tea, do not know the way to taste tea, plus the outside of the cold and freezing, the heart is full of cold, a hot tea on the neck to drink a bottom, the mouth praised: "good tea, you might as well come to another bowl, it is best to change the big tea jar." I smiled and said, "Let the second master smile, practice in Panjiayuan for half a day, and it is cold enough." After drinking a few cups of tea, my body warmed up, and then I could take care of looking around. In the room of this old building, there is almost nothing new, the old-fashioned bookcase is full of ancient books, and the outer edge is full of white jade, crystal, Shoushan stone, Buddha statues, ivory carvings, nose and eye pots and other antiques, it seems that the small room is full. If you don't know the details outside this tube building, who can imagine that Qiao Erye, who has been pouring antiques all his life, would live in such an inconspicuous place.
But the fat man and I saw that he was willing to be ordinary, and there was a little more respect in our hearts, and the two sides said a few words, Qiao Erye seemed to know that we were the captain of the gold school, and asked me some feng shui in Beijing, and let me talk about the business of Liulichang.
I have a long heart, although Qiao Erye is a well-known figure in Beijing, not comparable to Uncle Ming, but I don't want to show the essence of "Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", only pick up some New Year's greetings and say it: "There are two dragons in Beijing City, and the dragon vein situation happens to cover the Liuli Factory. β
Second Master Qiao was overjoyed when he heard this, and he wanted to praise it again, the fat man was eager to make a fortune, and he thought that his old man was verbose, so he hurriedly took out the green head, and let Second Master Qiao look at it to see what price he could give. Second Master Qiao took out a magnifying glass and reading glasses, looked at them repeatedly for a long time, and played with them in his hand again, and said: "Good jade, good jade, it is really a thousand years of deep ancient jade under the clouds, but it is a pity that it has never been old." The two elder brothers of King Hu, smelling the smell of the two of you, are often dealing with Mingqi, and if you don't tell lies in front of real people, you won't hide it. Before the liberation, I Qiao someone was also with you, back then it was not as good as now, there was no real thing in his hand, how could he do antique business in the glaze factory, so I knew that this old jade was only found in the underwater monuments and ancient tombs in the mountains, and there was no such color in the world. β
I and the fat man were also taken aback when they heard it, I didn't expect Qiao Erye to speak so clearly, it turned out to be an inverted craftsman, he now lives in this building, there was an ancient tomb left by the Yuan Dadu, when Qiao Erye was stolen and excavated this tomb, only to have the capital to do business in the glaze factory, he coveted the good feng shui near this ancient tomb, and was reluctant to leave here. Later, the ancient tomb was bulldozed up, he still lives here, invited me to come, one is to collect the green head, the other is that this building is going to be demolished, please ask me to find a feng shui level to move the family over.
I said that you are embarrassed for me, touching the golden captain and not burglarizing and robbing, where will you see the feng shui of the yang house, not to mention that since they are all craftsmen of the inverted bucket, how can you still believe in feng shui?
I persuaded him not to be obsessed with this way, but Qiao Er Ye was unmoved, and pointed to the ground under his feet: "This ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty is really a feng shui treasure hole, when I sneaked into the local official from the tomb thief, I saw the situation in the tomb, and almost dropped my jaw on the ground in shock, until then he believed in the feng shui theory in the world, it is not a vain and ethereal fantasy theory...... "He said this, and told us what he saw that night in a code sentence in the inverted bucket line: "This ancient tomb is ...... There is water but no fish! β
I heard Second Master Qiao say that in the ancient tomb downstairs of this tube, there is "water but no fish", and I also think it is a little strange, because I have always known that the ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty is buried deep and hidden, and there are no trees on the ground, and it is Tantric feng shui, which has always been the most difficult to find. In the code words of the inverted bucket, the porcelain in the ancient tomb is called "water", the most common burial vessel in the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty is porcelain, the craftsman of the inverted bucket has always called the Yuan corpse generation "fish", the body of the tomb owner of the Yuan Dynasty is buried in the coffin, and the coffin must be wrapped in a fishing net, which is also the custom of the Tantric Semu people, and most of the people today are difficult to understand.
If it is said that "there is water but no fish", it means that there are only ancient porcelain in the tomb, but there are no ancient corpses, is it a well-dressed mound? The fat man and I were particularly interested in the inverted fight, and when we were curious, I asked Second Master Qiao to tell me the details, it was best to talk more about what happened to the "water", and what kind of market is it worthwhile?
It turned out that Qiao Erye made a windfall in the early years with the inverted bucket, and has been washing his hands in the golden basin for many years, specializing in some antique calligraphy and painting business, he is about the same as the ancestor of the big gold tooth, he is a folk thief who is not in the stream, knows some skills to look at mud marks and distinguish the color of the earth, taste and smell are naturally sensitive, and he does not touch tobacco and alcohol in his life.
