"This is 7501 porcelain."

Old Tang just took out the tea canister from the cabinet, and when he saw Zhang Yang and Xiao Chu's expressions, he consciously stopped what he was doing, leaned over and explained.

"At this age, you may not have heard of it, this 7501 porcelain, known as the contemporary imperial kiln, was once a special porcelain for the life of leaders, a total of more than 10,000 pieces."

"In terms of quantity, the craftsmanship is good, and it is very precious. Don't look at it as just a spittoon, the current market price is more than 100,000 yuan. ”

"Contemporary porcelain, so expensive?"

Xiao Chu had never heard of 7501 porcelain, and there was a look of surprise on his face.

"It's not that it's expensive, it's that it's worth the market price." Lao Tang patiently explained, "Let's not talk about the fact that its own material is out of print, you just say, is the decoration on it good?" ”

"It's good-looking...... it's good-looking" Chu Ziqiang responded to the boss's words, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Zhang Yang.

"Look at what I'm doing, I don't understand this."

Zhang Yang pretended to be innocent and shook his head: "I study antiques, this kind of modern art, I really don't know the doorway." ”

In fact, Zhang Yang not only understands, but even has 7501 porcelain in his own collection.

It was given to him by Chen Yanguang.

Before, the eldest brother bought a house in Jingdi Town, which contained 7501 porcelain left by the previous owner, and Chen Yanguang specially sent a set of porcelain to thank Zhang Yang for helping him identify it.

But to be honest, Zhang Yang felt that things were quite in the way.

This kind of porcelain itself is used for daily necessities, but it is so valuable that it is reluctant to use it at all.

You can't sell it, after all, it's Chen Yanguang's intention.

As for Old Tang's spittoon......

Zhang Yang felt that there was a possibility, and it was a real spittoon.

Produced in the nineties of the last century.

It's just a coincidence that it is also the underglaze color of white porcelain, and at the same time, it is printed with the more famous "green bamboo and plum blossom" pattern in 7501 porcelain.

This thing can be mistaken and kept in a special cabinet, which can only be said that Old Tang's imagination is very rich.

"I really don't understand, I don't understand?" Xiao Chu asked in a very low voice in Zhang Yang's ear.

Sensing the suspicious gaze from Lao Tang on the other side, Zhang Yang smiled and replied in a normal volume: "No, buddy, you can buy it if you like, why do you Chu Da Shao still feel sorry for this little pocket money?" ”

"Forget it." Knowing the meaning of Zhang Yang's words, Xiao Chu waved his hand again and again, "When I'm old, I'll buy this thing for myself." ”

"Hahaha, in fact, this thing is said to be Fengwei Zun, and some people believe it."

Old Tang laughed a couple of sentences beside him, and what he said was more like a joke.

He didn't rush to persuade Chu Ziqiang to buy this spittoon, he was an old man, and he was still very calm.

"Let's go on, I haven't started brewing this tea yet."

"I'll do it anyway." The proprietress took the things in Old Tang's hand and pointed to the counter, "You accompany the guests to have a good chat." ”

"Thank you, big sister." Zhang Yang and Xiao Chu nodded at the aunt at the same time.

"Be polite, choose slowly, we have a lot of good things here."

"You two can look at it casually, just ask me if you don't understand anything."

Old Tang stood aside very respectfully, with the long shirt, the taste was right.

On the counter, next to the spittoon, is also a piece of porcelain.

A porcelain pillow.

Looking at the shape and ornamentation, it should be going to the imitation Cizhou kiln.

After all, the most famous porcelain pillow is the Cizhou kiln, and many municipal museums take the porcelain pillow of the Cizhou kiln as the treasure of the town museum.

The reason for this is that compared with ordinary porcelain pillows, such as blue and white, primitive celadon, and white porcelain, only the pillows of Cizhou kiln will have the decoration of traditional ink paintings.

The porcelain craftsmen of the Song and Yuan dynasties combined traditional Chinese painting with porcelain pillows to make the porcelain pillows of Cizhou kiln more artistic.

Seeing that Zhang Yang's attention couldn't be removed from the porcelain pillow, Lao Tang felt that there was a play, so he hurried up and introduced:

"How? This one is okay, right? ”

"The tiger-shaped porcelain pillow of the authentic Cizhou kiln is still black and brown with a white background, which I received from the descendant of a down-and-out Belle master, and it must be the real thing."

"If you two want, I only need this number ......"

Old Tang made a very expert gesture.

It's a pity that Zhang Yang and Xiao Chu can't understand it at all.

The way that businessmen use gestures to negotiate prices in their sleeves only exists in movies, but in reality, hundreds of thousands of businesses are decided with a gesture, which is too abstract.

"You say, this is from the hands of the descendants of Lord Baylor?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"That's right." Old Tang kept nodding.

"Don't be surprised by the two of you, in fact, in this Yanjing City, all kinds of imperial relatives of the previous dynasty have gone to the sea. Last month, I met an aunt on the bus, claiming to be a white flag! ”

"I don't think it's weird." Chu Ziqiang shook his head, "Don't hide it, my ancestor was the former King of Chu, a disciple of the Eight Banners or something, and when he sees me, he still has to go back a little." ”

"Cow's." Zhang Yang couldn't help but smile and gave Xiao Chu a thumbs up, then pointed to the porcelain pillow on the glass counter and said, "Boss, this porcelain pillow, to be honest, doesn't seem right." ”

"Huh? Wrong? ”

"Yes, the Cizhou kilns of the Song and Yuan dynasties were basically unearthed, and there is no legend. But you don't have any Tuqin on it, I suspect that you may have been deceived by the descendants of that Belle Ye, and his true identity is probably not so noble. ”

"Makes sense." Xiao Chu nodded approvingly, "I also think that this year is 2024, and the Qing Dynasty has been dead for more than a hundred years, even if the real surname is Aixin Jueluo, the valuable things in the family should have been sold out long ago, right?" ”

"This ......," Old Tang scratched his head.

Of course, he knew that this thing was fake, and he could support such a large antique store, and he still had a little eyesight.

Old Tang was puzzled:

Are these two people talking so directly?

Today's young people really don't talk about martial arts and don't talk about rules at all.

Even if it's fake, you shouldn't say it to your face, the rules that have been passed down for thousands of years can't be broken.

Old Tang thought to himself, maybe he really ran into a second stunned.

He looked at Zhang Yang and Xiao Chu's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel strange.

It seems that the simple bait, two people will not take the bait.

"I didn't expect that the two of them were so young and so discerning." Old Tang pretended to sigh with emotion, nodded and made a gesture of please, "In that case, let's come and see the treasure of our store directly, right?" ”

"What do you mean? Except for the treasure of the town store, the rest are fake, don't look at it? Chu Ziqiang asked with a puzzled face.

Old Tang almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Fortunately, he instantly thought of how to explain: "Of course I didn't mean that, it's just that the quality of these treasures of the town store is genuine." ”

"I've been doing this for some years, and I still have some experience, like porcelain or something, I can only look at a rough idea, but the snuff bottle, I have a name in the whole big willow tree."

As he spoke, a smug smile appeared on Old Tang's face.

It can be seen that he is indeed very confident.

Zhang Yang looked in the direction of his finger, and the counter with the window in the middle was divided into small grids.

In each compartment, there is a snuffbox.

The types of snuff bottles involved have almost exhausted everything Zhang Yang has seen and can think of.

The materials of snuff bottles here include Hetian jade, jadeite, ceramics, copper, gourd, glass, purple sand, crystal and so on.

Basically, snuff bottles, which were commonly used in ancient containers.

"Two, take a look?" Old Tang said with a smile on his face.

Chu Ziqiang didn't speak, but turned sideways and glanced at Zhang Yang first.

"People let you get started, what's the matter, are you shy?" Zhang Yang waved his hand at Xiao Chu and let him play by himself.

Snuff bottles are indeed a fine category of antiques from the Qing Dynasty to modern times.

The people who could afford to use a good snuff bottle back then had some family property or social status, and they had high aesthetic requirements for this kind of thing.

In addition, the three emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, were all loyal lovers of snuff (the glass snuff bottle was poured out by Kangxi to the craftsmen), resulting in the entire Qing Dynasty snuff bottle, all of which went to the work of art.

This is also the reason why a snuff bottle could be auctioned for 5 million that year.

But now, to some extent, snuff bottles are the same type of collection that is rapidly declining like stamps.

No way, modern society (except in the snow areas) has no demand for snuff at all;

At the same time, the snuff bottles are too small and placed on antique shelves, and customers have to come to them, and some even use magnifying glasses to see the ingenuity of things.

The combination of these two factors directly leads to the fact that the price of snuff bottles is not too high.

It is generally in the price range of small thousand to medium thousand.

With Xiao Chu's current net worth, even if all the snuff bottles in this cabinet are genuine, he can afford them.

Zhang Yang let him get started casually.

"What's your choice?"

"Then I'd like to see this one first, the one that looks like bamboo." Xiao Chu fell in love with the forgiveness-colored snuff box in the cabinet at a glance.

Old Don quickly took the things out.

A snuff box decorated with a bamboo leaf pattern, made of glass, bamboo-shaped, with enamel pigments on the outside.

The shape is so peculiar, and the ornamentation is so elegant, it is a thing of the Yongzheng Dynasty at a glance.

"Huh? Can this lid be twisted open? ”

Xiao Chu found that the lid could be twisted, and he had a sense of surprise when he discovered a new continent.

"Yes, you can do it."

Seeing that Lao Tang agreed, Zhang Yang also hurried up, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and pretended to take pictures, but in fact he was recording the video to leave evidence.

lest the lid be twisted open after a while, and the entire snuffbox will be completely shattered and directly slammed.

It turns out that Zhang Yang is overthinking.

The design of this snuff box is quite reasonable, and after the lid is unscrewed, there is a white glass spoon in the middle, which is fixed in the center of the lid.

It turned out that the inside of the snuffbox was like this, and Zhang Yang was also the first time I saw it.

"Boss, if I want to buy this, how much will it cost?"

"This is a serious thing, if you sincerely want it, this number is ......"

Everyone understands Old Tang's gesture this time, a big slap - five thousand.

It's definitely not 50,000, and the copper gilt sells for 50,000 yuan.

"It seems that the snuff bottle market is really not very prosperous." Zhang Yang said in his heart.

Such a special-shaped snuff bottle is likely to be unique in the market.

At least Zhang Yang has never seen anything like it.

And it is also a genuine product of the Yongzheng period.

Although it may not be used by the emperor, almost all the glassware of the Qing Dynasty was produced by the glass factory of the Qing Palace.

Therefore, the glass snuff bottles of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty are very close to the level of craftsmanship of the imperial kiln porcelain, especially in the shape and decoration.

Such a treasure is worth 5,000?

That really did fall.

"Okay, then put this one first." Xiao Chu didn't say to buy it, nor did he say he wouldn't buy it, he still wanted to compare it again.

"Boss, help me see that corn!"

Seeing Lao Tang take out the things, Zhang Yang instantly determined in his heart that this should also be a unique product.

The styling is too stalked.

This corn-shaped snuff bottle, take it out and put it in your hand to be sure, this is a porcelain yellow glaze, and the Qianlong period yellow glaze bowl is very similar.

However, its firing difficulty is much higher than that of ordinary porcelain.

The only pity is that its lid turned out to be a vulgar jadeite.

If it is changed to the shape of pink corn whiskers, this treasure will be a lore, and it can win the best styling award in the snuffbox world.

"This is good, how much do you want, boss?" Xiao Chu continued to ask for the price.

"Again, if you sincerely want it, just take the five thousand yuan."

"Boss, is there any one of you that isn't five thousand?" Zhang Yang took the initiative to ask.

The boss gave the price without analyzing it at all, which gave Zhang Yang the illusion that all the snuff bottles in this cabinet were a fixed price.

Under what circumstances will the seller make a fixed price?

There is only one case, and that is when the real price of everything else in it is less than five thousand.

Whoever spends 5,000 is fooled.

"Hehe, almost, except for those ...... of jadeite and seeds"

Lao Tang picked a few pieces at random and introduced them to Zhang Yang and Xiao Chu.

The jade snuff bottle is very easy to understand, and the price of jadeite on the market is already expensive, even if it is only sold at the price of jadeite, it is impossible to be less than five thousand.

As for the seed snuff bottle, Zhang Yang also found out after Lao Tang pointed it out, good guy, there was actually a snuff bottle, which was taken out of a Hetian jade seed with skin.

The top part of the lid is also inlaid with a small cow's blood-red coral, which is used as a button for the lid.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is ingenious.

Therefore, Lao Tang quoted 150,000 yuan for this seed snuff bottle, and Zhang Yang was not surprised at all.

The Hetian jade seed material itself is almost 100,000 yuan, plus red coral and technology, the price is a bit good.

After listening to Lao Tang's offer, Xiao Chu pulled Zhang Yang's clothes, and at the same time signaled to the boss: "I'm sorry, let's discuss it." ”

"Brother Yang, what do you say? Buy 5,000 or 150,000? ”

"It's okay, this Boss Tang is a professional collector on snuff bottles, the market price, you can't play with him, if you want to pick up the leak, he will definitely make money." Zhang Yang responded in a low voice.

"I suggest you just pick what you like."

"So pessimistic?" Xiao Chu didn't believe that this was Zhang Yang's words, "Aren't we here to pick up the leak?" ”

"If we want to pick up the leaks, we have to pick them ourselves, and we can't always listen to him."

"That's okay, I'll listen to Brother Yang."

Xiao Chu nodded, and finally chose a snuff box made of natural gourds, with eight horses carved on the outside.

Afterwards, Zhang Yang asked Xiao Chu why he chose this thing, and Chu Ziqiang replied:

"It's the biggest of all snuff bottles, and I'm going to buy it back and use it as a flask for my grandfather."

"I drink this small pot at most a day, and strictly control the amount of alcohol."

"But what if it smells of tobacco?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorically.

"That's earned again, my grandfather happens to be a smoking gun, and you can quit smoking, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

"Indeed." Zhang Yang nodded, "It's really a blessing to be your grandfather." ”
