Chapter 62: Listening to the Grasshoppers on the Drum Market

"What kind of antique is this thing, it's just some movie posters, I took it back to the capital to give our old stubborn memory of history, he likes to watch those black and white movies, and often uses the characters in it to teach people."

Zheng Mang raised the old pictorial in his hand, six or seven sheets were rolled into a roll, which was already a little yellowed, don't look at these things, they are only forty or fifty years old, but they cost her more than two thousand yuan.

Especially the poster of the movie "Southern Expedition and Northern War" filmed in 1952, with the autographs of Feng Zhe, Sun Daolin and others, the stall owner asked for 1,200 yuan, saying that this is the first war film since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there are absolutely only four well-preserved posters in the country.

……

"Whoa...... Twitter ......"

The two were about to leave, when a familiar and pleasant chirping suddenly sounded in Chang Xian's ears.

"Huh? Little idle man, come and have a look. There is a gourd here, and there is a gourd in it, with a round belly and long legs, and eyes bulging like light bulbs, it can't be a general...... and there is a cricket jar next to it, oops, how can this cricket jar be broken and still take it out and sell it. ”

Zheng Mang was immediately attracted by the gnat, she ran over to pick up a gourd and looked at it, and shouted loudly in her mouth.

Chang Xian spent his childhood in the countryside, and later his father worked in a third-tier military enterprise, also in the mountainous area, and only later moved from the mountainous area to Jianning after junior high school.

When I was a child, I didn't have many toys, and my favorite ones were the "wild musicians" such as gnats and crickets.

My favorite game to play is to fight crickets, that will often be three or five friends, flashlights in the middle of the night, to catch crickets in the broken bricks and tiles, and then start a competition to see who catches the crickets.

Even later, after arriving in Jianning, I would occasionally go to the nearby suburbs and mountains to look for it, and the urbanization of that era was not as good as it is now, there were buildings everywhere, the urban area was very small, and a few steps outside was the mountain and vegetable fields.

At night, insects and birds chirp everywhere, and if you open a rock, there may be a cricket or something hidden underneath.

In addition to fighting crickets, Chang Xian and Li Qizhi fell in love with raising gnats, and in order to catch them, they ran to the vegetable field, and they also suffered from Chang Xian's father's brain collapse because they brought the gnats to the classroom to play.

However, at that time, there was a green and loud grasshopper, which was undoubtedly a very face-saving thing among the classmates.

After hearing the rapid chirping just now, he immediately recognized that this was the cry of a grasshopper, and when he saw that Miss Zheng was more familiar than himself, he was very happy in his heart at the moment, this sister is also the No. 1 strange person, and when he was a child, he was probably also the master of chasing cats and dogs.

Xun Sheng looked and saw Miss Zheng snow-white. The pink little hand is tightly clutching a gourd with a red and purple body.

……

"Please, this young lady, you have a serious gourd of Sanhe Liu in your hand, you should be careful. Also, this cricket jar is not broken, but it is just a little cracked, if you don't want it, please let it. ”

The young stall owner who had just finished eating said to Zheng Mang angrily that the changes in his family these days were pressing on him like a mountain, even if Zheng Da reporter was young and beautiful, the young man did not color her.

"I haven't seen it yet, how do you know I don't want it? Little idle man, you should hurry up, meat sandwich buns! This young man is very bullish, you can see if his object is real or fake? ”

Zheng Mang was stunned, but he was not angry, he handed the gourd in his hand to Chang Xian, who had just squatted down, and grabbed the cricket jar casually.

As soon as the gourd started, Chang Xian felt a warmth in the palm of his hand, and looked at it carefully, this gourd is ivory inlay, and it is also equipped with a double dragon play bead tortoiseshell cover, the mouth is more than 10 cm high, the belly in the middle is very large, and it is estimated that it is 8 cm to the touch, and the shape is very full.

Looking inside from the mouth of the gourd, it seems to be the core of the carved tortoiseshell double dragon playing with pearls, and the whole body is painted with a cloud dragon picture, the ornamentation is clear, and it is very exquisite and elegant.

The exterior of the skin is ruddy, revealing a warm old atmosphere, which is a manifestation of the thick slurry.

……

"Hey, I said be careful, who is it that broke it? Hurry up and put it down, I won't sell you.

Seeing that Zheng Mang was a little careless, the stall owner was a little anxious, this porcelain is fragile, and the gourd is not porcelain, if it accidentally falls on the ground, it will be broken.

"It's okay, I'll take a look first, if it's good. I will pay if it is broken, and I will buy it if I fancy it, you don't have to worry. ”

Of course, Chang Xian also knew the rule that things can't be handed, and after calming the stall owner who was about to jump up, under the shadow of the copper coin, the two things in this stall suddenly had a spiritual sense.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's really not easy, not counting those storefronts, there are very few objects with induction in so many stalls, and now he has finally encountered two.

However, Chang Xian's eyes did not stay on the gourd at hand at the moment, he was playing with the gourd at hand, but Yu Guang was attracted by the cricket jar in Zheng Mang's hand, but he didn't dare to arouse the suspicion of the stall owner, so he used the gourd as a cover.

The cricket jar is drum-shaped, concave and female, and the lid is in the same plane as the can mouth when closed, and the foot is circled. In addition to the mouth of the child, the whole body is glazed.

The outer wall is painted with the pattern of the reed goose grass pond, and the wild geese fly high in turn next to the Tingzhu grass pond, and the fox lying on the cover is painted and the wild geese on the branches look at each other. It's full of fun and natural weather.

As Zheng Mang uncovered the lid, the inner side was written horizontally "Daming Xuande Year", turned over the cup, and the bottom was written vertically "Daming Xuande Year", one horizontal and one vertical are blue and white six-character regular scripts, the shape is square, the strokes are straight, and it is extremely clear.

If there is a disadvantage in this cricket jar, it is that there is a fine crack above the rim of the cup, like an earthworm, which spreads to the bottom, which has some impact on the quality.

However, this is also normal, the so-called clay pot does not break from the wellhead, and the general will inevitably die in battle, after all, after hundreds or even thousands of years of bumps and bumps, it is inevitable that there will be some damage.

Some counterfeiters even deliberately make things broken when they are old to increase credibility.

"Little idle man, what's so nice about this gourd, I saw a lot of this thing when I was a child? Show me ...... again."

The Zhengda reporter on the side didn't know that Chang Xian was looking at the cricket jar in her hand, and when he saw that he was holding the gourd and refused to put it down for a long time, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

She didn't see anything just now, so she stretched out her hand and was about to grab it.

"Don't ...... This thing is expensive, if it is really broken, Miss, you can't make it ten or eight years of pocket money gone. ”

Chang Xian hurriedly let go of Zheng Mang's hand, and at the same time grabbed the gourd, for fear of accidentally falling to the ground.

Looking at the appearance of this stall owner, I also know the value of this gourd, and I am afraid that this leak will not be able to be picked up today.

"Really, do you know how much pocket money I have in a year? Boss, how much does your gourd sell? ”

Zheng Mang was very unimpressed with Chang Xian's words.

In other words, she doesn't seem to have counted how much pocket money the sisters have.
