Chapter 405 Taiping Cylinder
Time flies, and two months later, in the antique street of Shangrong City, Lu Su's façade finally opened.
Li Yang is also rare and generous, and invited a professional celebration team to preside over the opening event at the door, singing, dancing, and engaging in activities (the pile of small gifts made Li Yang feel distressed...... ), one program after another, attracted the attention of passers-by.
It's not that the opening celebration is good, after all, in these years, people have long been confused by the Internet, what kind of programs have not been seen, even the Spring Festival Gala is a little unwatchable, not to mention these actor programs that are not even stars.
The reason why it is eye-catching is that there is a quaint water tank in front of the store.
There is no water in the water tank, the whole body is cast in bronze, the appearance is simple, it is rectangular, about one meter long, the width is not three palms, the cylinder body is carved with four flying dragons, lifelike, especially the pair of dragon eyes, as if staring at the pedestrians in the past, shocking, it is a pity that the carving of such a work of art is covered with iron patina, mottled traces of time, full of strong traces of time.
It is this bronze water tank that makes pedestrians look at it curiously.
"This shop is really strange, others open a store, or put vases, stone carvings and other objects at the door, no matter how bad it is, it is the same thing to find two little girls as greeters, put such a strange water tank, what does it mean?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's the store that plays mysteriously and deliberately uses this kind of gimmick to attract customers, alas, these days, the merchant makes a profit, and he really does everything"
"It's going to go, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, and don't blush" A few middle-aged people with obviously different temperaments from passers-by shook their heads at the young people who were talking nonsense.
"Uncle, you know, tell me about it"
"yes, what do you mean?"
…… Passers-by have cast their eyes for knowledge, which makes the middle-aged people feel so dissatisfied, of course, there are also knowledgeable people, just staring at the water tank.
The middle-aged man cleared his throat and explained.
"This tank is exquisite, the meaning of feng shui is 'Tibetan wind gathers qi, get water for the top', you see that there is no water in the tank, obviously the boss is ready to wait for the rainy day, natural storage of water, so should be and feng shui in this sentence Tibetan wind gathering, get water for the top, so this tank, also called Taiping tank, auspicious tank"
"Auspicious Jar? Why does it sound so familiar," a passer-by scratched his head and wondered.
"Isn't it the auspicious jar in front of the Forbidden City?" A passer-by remembered.
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "It is indeed a meaning, but the auspicious jar in front of the Forbidden City is naturally not comparable to this kind of small objects of personal homes, however, this shop imitates the ancients, and it is quite unique in this antique street."
"Oh"
"I see"
"It's not a big deal, it's all fooling people, and it's gone."
"Wait, look at it again, it's interesting, there's still a lot of knowledge."
When the celebration ended, the host and others left one after another, indicating that the antique shop was opened.
From a Taiping cylinder, people feel a little novel, many people have come over, look at the Taiping cylinder up close, some people see the Taiping cylinder is simple and atmospheric, carved domineering, many girls and children are standing next to take a selfie, a PS.
"What is this?" The middle-aged man who explained just now also came to the front of the Taiping Jar, he always felt that this Taiping Jar was not ordinary, and now after a closer look, he suddenly exclaimed: "Yes...... Genuine? ”
"What's that?"
"Genuine?"
"Can't you?"
The middle-aged man gave another hula next to him, and a few middle-aged people gathered over, and immediately occupied the place around the Taiping tank, making the little young people who took selfies complain dissatisfied.
And as these middle-aged people were startled, there was also a group of people talking in a low voice.
"Look, isn't that Boss Zhang? He's a good hand at turning antiques."
"The one next to him, isn't it Li Yanzhuzi? This man can't do anything, just sharp-eyed."
"These people are all frequent visitors to the antique street, they must have found something good, otherwise they wouldn't be so out of shape."
"Let's go and see, maybe today, it's our turn to pick up a leak."
…… So, around the small Taiping tank, it was crowded with people, and it was all elderly uncles and aunts, even the old ones, which made those young people who wanted to take pictures secretly cry helpless.
This is like the aunts in the community dancing square dances, no matter how disturbing the people, these young people have no tricks.
"Let's go in and see"
"No, I'm going to see, what are these people studying?"
"The heat is dead"
"It's fun"
…… Many young people and passers-by gathered around the side, listening to the speeches of these so-called antique insiders, and then they also changed their faces to shock.
An antique shop opened with a real antique of unknown age as a façade?
It's a big show.
"How generous this boss is"
"I think I have a sick and rich money, so I opened such a small shop? Can this pay for itself? ”
"The most important thing is, this thing is just placed at the door, and it is not afraid of being stolen?"
"Are you blind, the bottom of the tank is dead with the steps, steal? When you put the steps aside, the boss can ask the police station to go out for a meal and come back and arrest people."
"I'll just say it, give me ten dares, don't dare"
The passers-by next to him chatted enthusiastically because of a Taiping Tank gimmick, and the insiders here were also chatting endlessly, but they were all discussing the age, authenticity, and origin of the Taiping Tank, making it seem like an academic discussion, arguing endlessly.
Passers-by thought it was fun, so they used their mobile phones to record videos, posted on Weibo, and posted on Moments......
"Don't look at it, it must be fake" One of them said firmly, and if you look closely, this person is actually Fu Nan.
"You're giving a reason."
"That's right, Dean Fu, in terms of medical skills, we can't catch up with you in a BMW, but when it comes to antiques, we really have to talk about it."
Fu Nan confidently raised two fingers and said gently: "First, this thing is too small, the Taiping Tank was used for fire fighting in ancient times, just such a gadget, how much water can it store?" How much fire can be extinguished? ”
"Maybe it was made by the ancients, used for appreciation"
"That's right, the furnishings are naturally not as particular as firefighting."
…… These people are still unconvinced.
Fu Nan said again: "The second reason is the key, I can't see the origin of this Taiping jar, but I know one thing, if this is a genuine bronze, then this store will not be able to open, so this is a fake."
"Huh? yes, I just remembered."
"Alas, I was so involved in the research just now that I forgot such a simple truth."
"Bronze is a national treasure, and it must be handed over to the state."
…… After Fu Nan's reminder, this little detail that was ignored made everyone stunned, but this is what makes it even more amazing.
"This craft! It's absolutely stunning! ”
"It's enough to confuse the real with the fake!"
"This thing, even if it's not genuine, is a work of art, it's worth a lot of money and it's very collectible."
"This shop is famous!"
Everyone's attention was diverted from the Taiping Jar, and some people looked at it with appreciation, and even planned to find the owner of this shop and spend money to buy this Taiping Jar, while more people were whetted by the Taiping Jar.
Even the furnishings at the door are so exquisite, what will the store look like?
These Tibetan friends, who are usually fond of antiques, suddenly itched and walked towards the store, while more people, with the psychology of picking up cheap, following the crowd, and hunting for curiosities, also walked towards the store together.
But as soon as they stood on the threshold in front of the store, everyone was attracted by the sign of this antique shop.
