Chapter 20: Red Broken Porcelain
The shopkeeper Tong looked at the red lines on my porcelain tiles, and his attitude directly took a 180-degree turn. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's as if the object in my hand is some kind of taboo.
Seeing the face of the shopkeeper Tong, the thin-skinned person has long since left, but fortunately, we are strong enough in our hearts, and the more he has such an attitude, the more I am determined to get to the bottom of it.
With a twist on my heart, I pretended to be shocked and said, "Don't be there, shopkeeper, even if you don't accept my object, you can tell me the truth, right?"
My words only brought a stronger disgust to the shopkeeper Tong, the old thing shook his head, and didn't even look at me, but said: "If you don't accept it, you won't accept it, my brother advises you, don't keep such an evil thing yourself, find a yin willow tree as soon as possible, dig a pit and bury it, and remember to remember, don't be greedy, don't keep a piece." ”
"Such a particular one?" I was stunned, and couldn't help but wonder: "Brother, can you give us a thorough understanding, what is this thing?
"It's useless to talk too much!" Shopkeeper Tong waved his hand and said, "You go! Don't hinder me from doing business." ”
The shopkeeper Tong's resolute attitude made me feel like I was hitting a wall, but fortunately, my mind was flexible enough, even if he said everything to this point, I still found a breakthrough from his iron-clad "curtain".
Didn't you think I was getting in the way of his business? Then I'll give him a business to finish.
So, I turned my head as I walked, pretended to sigh and said to the shopkeeper Tong: "I said the shopkeeper, you are really not close, I came here today, just to ask us if the bottle in our hand is so evil, can you use your King Qin to look at the demon mirror to suppress it, if you can, I will invite one." ”
My words made the shopkeeper Tong's ignorant appearance change, and then he hurriedly stopped me and said, "Wait! Boss Huo just said that he wants to sell my ......."
"King Qin looks in the demon mirror! I finished one word at a time, turned my head and continued walking, and at the same time slapped the red-veined broken porcelain in my arms and said: "But this broken porcelain piece is going to be thrown away, and it is the same whether you buy it or not." ”
After the haunting of my hotel was noticed by the shopkeeper Tong, this old money fan tried to sell me some of his broken mirrors that had been lit up, and this time I took the initiative to mention it, which was in his arms.
Or...... He's right in my hands.
The shopkeeper Tong is a monkey spirit, but he can't walk when he mentions money, and as soon as he saw that I had the intention of buying him to look at the demon mirror, he intercepted me back.
Then, he smiled at me and said, "I said Brother Huo......! You come back first, let's have a good talk. ”
As soon as I saw the door, I turned back, stood by his counter, and said, "Old shopkeeper, what is there to say about us in and out of the street? Can't you explain it to me to make me feel at ease? Besides, it's not appropriate for me to buy your demon mirror to ward off evil spirits, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Shopkeeper Tong nodded hurriedly, and pointed to the porcelain in my arms and said: "I don't tell you what this thing is, because I'm afraid that you won't be able to resist the temptation, second, you will throw it away, and third, you will talk nonsense, but as a neighbor, I will tell you one of the doorways of this outsider today, but ...... You can't spread it around!"
I nodded, indicating understanding, and then listened attentively, this is the doorway of Wang Shuang's broken porcelain.
When I got straight to the point, the shopkeeper Tong said to me: "The fragment of the plum bottle in your hand is called the "soul raising jar" in the eyes of connoisseurs, and it is the first of the 'three taboos' in the ancient antique shop, which is the same as the container for Thai people to raise ghosts. ”
"Soul Nourishing Jar?" My hand holding the broken porcelain piece trembled a little, but I still pretended to be calm and said: "Old shopkeeper, how can this soul be raised? Even if it can be raised, how do you know?"
My question made the shopkeeper Tong a little proud, he waved at me and said: "I don't understand! These dark rules in the antique business, you laymen naturally don't understand, don't talk about you, even many young people who are new to the industry don't know, and they have to meet me to talk to you about the doorway......
...... Shopkeeper Tong told me that everything he knew was told to him by Shopkeeper Tong's father.
It turned out that when the shopkeeper Tong was young, the father of the Tong family often took his son to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to "walk mud money" in order to exercise his children's eyesight.
This is the proper noun of the antique dealers on both sides of the canal, that is, the antique dealers walk on both sides of the canal during the dry season to buy porcelain pieces collected by slender men, peasant women, and old ladies from the muddy water of the canal.
In the silt of this canal, thousands of years of water have been transported to pay tribute, and there are a lot of antiques preserved, and those things are collectively referred to as mud wealth.
However, the objects in the canal are different from those in the tombs of Haihu Lake, most of them are defective products discarded by the ancients, and the water level is shallow, and there are many dredging, and the sediment is always dug up, so the quality is not good.
Therefore, most of the porcelain clay that can be collected by the canal is the kind that is collected by the pound with mud, and occasionally it is complete, and it is mostly a fine product.
When he was fourteen years old, he followed his father to "walk" a bizarre encounter, and because of that encounter, he first came into contact with one of the three taboos of antiques.
The first time the shopkeeper Tong went to the mud money, he went to the Ji‖ Ning boundary with his father.
In the process, in order to experience the eyesight of Xiao Tong's shopkeeper, his father asked him to rinse the porcelain pieces with water on the river beach, so that he could classify them one by one according to the age and place of origin, understand the market at the same time, and increase his experience.
Thinking that the shopkeeper Tong was young back then, he had no opinion on his father's arrangement, so he and his two buddies cleaned up the porcelain pieces collected by his father on the spot, and then classified them into treasures, general products and garbage......
But while washing, shopkeeper Tong suddenly saw something different in the muddy water.
He was among the murky splashes and porcelain...... See a lot of rice?
Shopkeeper Tong put down the brush and picked up some porcelain tiles stained with mud, only to realize that he was not mistaken.
On this batch of porcelain, there is indeed a lot of aged glutinous rice sticking to it, and although it is heavy rice, it is not bad.
Shopkeeper Tong looked at the rice and felt very depressed.
You must know that in those days, rice was a very precious thing, and it was a surprising waste that so much rice was scattered in the mud of the canal. Once this situation occurs, there are often only two possibilities, one is that there is a rice boat leaking in the upper reaches of the canal, and the other is ...... Big nest!
At this time, a farmer who was digging for money at the head of the river stumbled and ran over to the Tong family! )
