Portable Museum

"Brother Tan, to be honest, these bowls and plates of yours are not worth 20 yuan each."

"Not worth it? Pingzi, we are all neighbors, you can't lie to me!

At the beginning, Mrs. Yang and I took the things together..." Brother Tan became anxious when he heard that his plate and bowl were not worth 20 yuan.

"Brother Tan, let me explain this to you.

The big bowls of Mrs. Yang are blue and white porcelain bowls from official kilns during the Qianlong period.

Most of your bowls and plates are blue-and-white porcelain from the Xianfeng official kiln, and a few pieces are famille rose porcelain from Daoguangnian.

You can take a look at the bottom line, it's all written here! Zhang Junping explained, turning the bowl over and showing it to Brother Tan.

"Ah! Then... how much is that worth?" Brother Tan was also discouraged when he saw the deposit below, and asked disappointedly.

"Brother Tan, you are all neighbors, and I won't lie to you, your bowls and plates are worth five yuan at most.

I suggest you keep it, maybe it will be worth more money in the future. "

"What? It's only worth five yuan?" Brother Tan stood up, obviously unable to accept the price.

No one can accept that the dishes and bowls taken from one place at the same time can be worth a hundred dollars for others, but only five yuan for your own.

This psychological gap is too great.

"Brother Tan, don't worry!

The older the antique, the more valuable it is, you should know this, right? "

"I know this, of course antiques are more valuable the older they are.

However, Daoguang was not many years later than Qianlong!Why is there such a difference? "

"The most valuable antiques from the Qing Dynasty are the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, namely the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties.

Later, Jiaqing, Daoguang, and Xianfeng can be said to be worse from generation to generation.

When it comes to Xuantong, it is even more worthless.

As for your Xianfeng official kiln blue and white bowl, you can buy it for ten yuan in new condition in trust stores.

If you don't believe it, you can go to a trust store and ask. "Zhang Junping explained patiently.

"But Mrs. Yang's bowl, the comrades in the trust store said, it is only worth ten yuan, you give one hundred.

Why come to my place, just give me five yuan?Do you look down on your big brother Tan? "

Hearing this, Zhang Junping immediately felt speechless, co-authoring that he was taking himself for granted.

It is estimated that Brother Tan showed his big blue and white bowl to the people in the trust store yesterday.

"Brother Tan, why do I accept 20 yuan for old lady Yang's big blue and white bowl, don't you really understand?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.

"Why?" Brother Tan didn't understand for a moment, so he asked back, but he immediately responded.

Give Zhang Junping a thumbs up, "Pingzi, it's still your benevolence!

have to!This time it's brother who is wrong, he's greedy, and made you laugh. "

"Brother Tan, what you said is that the prosperity of the world is for profit, who doesn't want to sell their things at a high price?

When I buy antique collections, it is actually for profit, thinking that it will appreciate in value in the future. Zhang Junping comforted with a smile.

"Brother Pingzi, you are a real person, can you see what else is valuable here?

To tell you the truth, my eldest is getting married soon, and I want to get some money and prepare some dowry for her. "

"Then do you sell this cabinet?" Zhang Junping asked, pointing to the cabinet.

"You mean my kitchen cabinet?" Brother Tan was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Zhang Junping to buy his own kitchen cabinet.

"Oh! If you don't tell me, I really forgot.

The cook of this dish was also pulled back at that time, and he said that he was not afraid of your jokes, and I was assigned to watch the door at that time.

It's a pity to see so many good things being destroyed.

So I picked up some usable things and secretly took them home. "

"Brother Tan, you have done a good deed and indirectly protected many precious antiques.

For example, your cabinet is a huanghuali double-drawer bright grid cabinet from the Ming Dynasty.

This kind of bright grid cabinet integrates cabinets, cupboards, shelves and drawers into one body. It has a wide range of functions. It can be placed in the study room or bedroom, and it can also be used as a vegetable cabinet like you. "

"How much is it worth?" This is what Brother Tan cares most about.

"The things from the Ming Dynasty are from Hainan huanghuali. As you know, huanghuali used to be used by the royal court. This bright lattice cabinet seems to be made by the princes and ministers.

Still relatively valuable.

I guess it will cost 100 yuan anyway. Zhang Junping made some calculations in his heart and said.

Zhang Junping didn't hide anything, and truthfully told the material, age, and preciousness of the Liangge cabinet.

"100 yuan?!" Brother Tan was a little surprised, 100 yuan is not a small amount, equivalent to two or three months of his salary.

It's time to hold a wedding for the eldest daughter in a splendid manner.

"Okay! I sold it to you!" Brother Tan was also straightforward, and directly took down the things placed in the bright grid above and put them on the Eight Immortals table.

Then he opened the door of the cupboard below and moved all the things inside out.

"Brother Tan, what do you put in this jar?" Zhang Junping asked, pointing to a blue and white porcelain jar that Brother Tan had just brought out.

"Oh! It's full of oil."

"Do you sell this jar?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.

Zhang Junping is already happy, and today he has gained a lot.

"Do you want this jar too?"

"Yes! If I'm not mistaken, this jar should be a large jar with a blue and white peony pattern in the Yuan Dynasty and a lid." Zhang Junping murmured in his heart, who was copied from the old and young of the former Qing Dynasty?

There are so many good things.

"Brother Tan, can you take a look at it?"

"Just look at it!" Brother Tan directly picked up the big blue and white pot and put it in front of Zhang Junping.

Zhang Junping first took off the lid and put it aside, then grabbed the rim of the can with one hand and the bottom of the can with the other, and lifted it up to look at the bottom and bottom.

There are obvious spiral patterns of knife marks and mastoids on the bottom feet, which are the characteristics of Yuan blue and white.

Then look at the glaze color. The green material is Su Ma Li Qing, which is said to be green, but it is actually light gray, and the white glaze has the texture of glass.

Then look at the carcass inside, which is a typical Yuan blue and white carcass.

There is a saying in the identification of blue and white porcelain, that is, look at the embryo in Yuan Dynasty, the glaze in Qing Dynasty, and look at both ends of blue and white porcelain in Ming Dynasty.

It is said that the identification of blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty depends on the carcass, and the carcass of Yuan blue and white porcelain is relatively thick because of the firing process.

The blue and white porcelain of the Qing Dynasty paid more attention to the glaze color.

The Ming Dynasty paid attention to the glaze color of the carcass.

"Brother Tan, this is definitely a large jar of Yuan blue and white peonies with twigs and a cover." After reading it, Zhang Junping said to Brother Tan with certainty.

"How much is it worth?" Brother Tan was more straightforward.

Chapter 20 God Prophecy

"..." Zhang Junping was speechless, he didn't expect Big Brother Tan to be a real person.

Laughing and holding out two fingers.

"Twenty? No, no!

This Qianlong cabinet is worth 200 yuan, the Ming Dynasty cabinet is worth [-] yuan, and the Yuan Dynasty blue and white cabinet is worth at least [-] yuan. Brother Tan shook his head and said very firmly.

Can the account be calculated like this?

Zhang Junping has also learned a lot.

However, Big Brother Tan was right, he just planned to pay 200 yuan.

This Yuan blue-and-white peony-wrapped large pot with a cover is not a figure, but just the most common peony-wrapped pattern, but the material used is definitely a fine piece of Yuan blue-and-white.

If Zhang Junping was the kind of unscrupulous antique dealer, just this large jar of Yuan blue and white peonies with twigs and lids would cost 100 million Hong Kong papers when shipped to Xiangjiang.

When it was shipped to the United States, it cost 50 dollars, and some people rushed to ask for it.

Therefore, Zhang Junping's 200 yuan is really not high.

It is a conscience price.

"Brother Tan, what I paid was 200 yuan!

I can assure you that this price is not higher than what I give in the whole country.

However, we have to make some things clear. Now this large jar with a cover and a blue and white peony pattern in Yuan Dynasty is worth up to 200 yuan.

However, in 20 or [-] years, this Yuan blue and white peony twig-wrapping large jar with a cover may be worth two thousand, three thousand, or even higher, so high that you and I can't even imagine it.

I pay money to buy it now, just betting that it will be worth more in the future.

The neighbors in our neighborhood are not interested in looking for bad debts. "

"Brother Pingzi, don't worry, you Brother Tan is not that kind of person, you will be able to sell for [-] million in the future, and you Brother Tan will not bring you any money later." Brother Tan assured, patting his chest.

Zhang Junping was shocked. Brother Tan definitely has the talent of a prophet.

Twenty years later, this piece of Yuan blue and white is really worth 20 million yuan.

"I also believe that Big Brother Tan is not the kind of person who is looking for later accounts, so let's simply write an agreement."

"It's okay, you write and I sign." At this moment, Big Brother Tan's mind was full of 200 yuan, and what Zhang Junping said was what.

200 yuan can buy a small house nearby. His second child went to the countryside to be an educated youth, and he didn't know when he would come back.

Now that I’m back, I’m going to get married right away. When I’m married, I have to buy this furniture. I don’t know how to arrange the children when they come back to work. If I want the woman to agree, I have to work hard on the bride price. I have to prepare a bicycle anyway. Get a sewing machine ready.

After such a calculation, Brother Tan immediately woke up, and 200 yuan was not enough to spend.

"Brother Pingzi, you have discerning eyes. Take a look and see what else is valuable in my house." Brother Tan rubbed his hands and said with a sneer.

"Okay, since you trust me, I'll take a look.

This Eight Immortals table is made of walnut wood, which is durable and well made.

But it is not worth much now, and if it is left for another 20 years, it may be worth a few hundred dollars.

This Taishi chair is also made of walnut wood, and it is a set with the Eight Immortals table. They are both from the period of the Republic of China, and are made by the same master. " Zhang Junping knocked on the Eight Immortals table, touched the Grand Master's chair, and said with a smile.

The walnut Eight Immortals Table and Taishi Chair from the Republic of China are perfect in appearance, and Zhang Junping will be able to break the lead in future generations.

Now, he actually started to dislike it.

People drift away.

Brother Tan looked at Zhang Junping hopefully, hoping that he could find another valuable old object.

"Huh?! What is this? It's very interesting." Zhang Junping walked to the place where the sundries were piled up, and picked up a wooden sculpture.

This is a wood carving of a figure, made of boxwood. The shape of the figure is rather peculiar, as if imitating an animal, to be more precise, imitating a monkey.

The paste on this wood carving is very thick, black and translucent, and it has been completely jadeized.

If the woodcarver hadn't broken his arm all the time, it wouldn't be obvious that it was made of boxwood.

"What are you talking about! That's what I took back back then, and I used it as a toy for my youngest son.

There are five in total, all of which are interesting.My youngest son treats him like a baby and has to hold him when he eats and sleeps. "Brother Tan glanced at the woodcarving in Zhang Junping's hand, and said with aftertaste.

While talking, he got up, rummaged through the debris for a while, and found the other four wood carvings.

The other four woodcarvings also had their own defects, either missing their heads or missing their legs.

However, the general shape can still be seen.

Putting the five woodcarvings together, Zhang Junping finally understood.

These five woodcarvings are respectively imitating the five animals of tiger, deer, bear, ape and bird.

Wuqinxi!
