Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

For two or three days in a row, Ding Mao went to the morning market to set up a stall after training, and then went home. Although he also received some small items, there was nothing special about them.

This morning, after Ding Mao went to the sports school to train, he had breakfast at the sports school, then returned home to wash up, changed into clean clothes and went to the motorcycle shop.

To receive goods, a car is still indispensable, so he bought a cheaper three-wheeled motorcycle, which is more convenient for him to haul goods.

Then he went to the market and bought a cheap camouflage uniform.Try not to dress too cleanly when you go to the countryside to receive goods. Firstly, no matter how good your clothes are, they will become useless in the wind and sun. Secondly, the more down-to-earth you dress, the more trust you can gain from the people.

When I got home, I turned on the horn, spread some old bedding on the carriage, put a few cigarette boxes prepared in advance and some porcelain plates, bowls, and stainless steel basins wholesaled in the market, and prepared to get off again. Township.

"Old plates and bowls are exchanged for new ones, old banknotes are exchanged for money! Old things are exchanged for basins!"

This time the speaker only recorded these two sentences, which were played repeatedly.

When going to the countryside to receive goods, you must try to place the stall in the middle of the village or in a place where people gather.Even if you are walking down the street, try to walk as slowly as possible, otherwise you will miss them before they even come out.

"Young man, how did you replace this old thing with a basin?"

"Young man, how did you replace the old plate?"

……

After a while, many people gathered near Ding Mao's three-wheeled motorcycle.

"Replace old dishes with brand-new ones, one piece at a time. When replacing old items with pots, you must first find out what old items they are and how many pots they can be replaced with!"

"What kind of old things do you want, young man?"

"Old tables, chairs and benches, old copper pots and hot pots, old cigarette holders, old medals of meritorious service, big money banknotes, old bottles and cans, old bronze Buddha statues, old door curtains, old beads, you can bring them over if they are old things anyway, no. If it’s easy to get, I can follow you to your home to take a look.”

"Young man, do you want the old plate with cracks?"

"If you want, just bring it over to my eldest sister's house. I guarantee you will be satisfied with the replacement!"

"Wait a minute, young man, I'll go back and get it!"

"Okay, I'm just waiting here. If you want to change something, go back and look for it. If you see that it's useless at home or takes up space and you don't want it, you can bring it over and exchange it for something. If you don't want to change it, I can also pay for it."

Not long after, people began to come over one after another with items to exchange, and the items they brought were all kinds of things.

"Young man, see if these plates can be replaced with a big basin."

Ding Mao took it and saw that it was actually two blue and white plates with bean green glaze holding five blessings and longevity. One was damaged and the other was good.

"You can change it. Sister, you can choose one yourself."

As long as someone takes the lead, others will follow, and if someone makes a deal, some will be eager to try.

Immediately afterwards, this trend of exchange swept across the village. Some got old copper basins, some got old gongs and cymbals, some got old copper pots, some got old-fashioned dressing mirrors, some got plates and bowls, etc.

There are also some things that make Ding Mao quite satisfied, such as four complete pastel four-season flower plates.

"Young man, do you think these two pickled egg jars can be repotted?"

Ding Mao took it and saw that it was an orchid jar with the word "Xi" from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. It had a low grade, but fortunately it was intact.

"Sister, do these two jars have lids?"

"Have!"

As she spoke, the woman took out two complete lids from the man's pocket.

"Ha! It really smells like pickled food. Sister can change it, so take your pick!"

During the late Qing Dynasty, Western developed countries purified cobalt oxide, a blue and white material, and introduced it to our country. The blue and white porcelain fired from it was very blue, with a blue-tinged purple color, and no impurities and particles found in the natural mineral material Suma Liqing. There are no rust spots, which is completely different from the blue material of our country's blue and white porcelain. It also comes from abroad, so it is called "foreign orchid".

"Don't we also have a pair of big bottles on the wall? You can bring them back and forth when you go home. It's better to use them in two pots than to throw them away."

During this period, more new houses were renovated. At this time, most people prefer new things, so some old items in the house are thrown away like garbage.

For example, if you like to hang a large mirror in your house to make it brighter, you will throw away the old-fashioned stained glass mirrors with four screens.Some people bought new wardrobes, and there was no room to put the old tea jars and dusters. People who were living their lives would just find a place to put them, while some people also threw them away because they disliked them being in the way.

Ding Mao clearly remembered that in his last life, many people in his village threw away some old objects like garbage.Even many old cabinet doors and other items were chopped for firewood, which really wasted a lot of things.

After a while, the man who went home to get a duster came back. It was a pair of blue and white dusters from Northern Porcelain, which are commonly seen in ancient flower arrangement paintings.

Shan vase, also known as dowry vase or bile vase, was a porcelain vase used by women in traditional marriages from the mid-Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.According to the size, it is divided into several forms such as ruler bottles, 100 pieces, 150 pieces, 300 pieces, etc.The number of pieces refers to the number of clay blocks used by the potter when making the clay.It is cited as a term within the industry as long as it refers to the height of the vessel.

如150件的高度为40.5—45.5公分，300件的高度为56—61公分。

According to the color, dowry bottles are divided into blue and white, blue and white with color, pastel, light crimson color and other forms.

Due to the historical background at that time, transportation was not convenient enough. In order to cater to market demand, kilns were built in many places.

The firing process is different from the later grouting tires, which are mostly manually drawn. It is also different from the current gas kilns and electric kilns. At that time, most of them were fired in wood kilns.

However, due to factors such as soil and firing temperature, northern porcelain has a rough texture and the glaze is prone to cracking and fine lines. It is also called cement mound by the locals, so its value is much lower than that of Jiangxi porcelain, which has finer porcelain. porcelain.

Ding Mao checked it over and found that except for one ear that was missing, the others were relatively intact, so he happily put it into the cigarette box he had prepared in advance and exchanged it for something he was satisfied with.

"Young man, I also have a pair of bottles like this with little figures painted on them at home. My aunt is too old to hold them. Can you come to my house and have a look?"

"Okay, ma'am, please wait for 2 minutes. I'll give these items to the folks and then I'll go with you."

Some of the remaining people exchanged copper hotpots for basins, and some exchanged large sums of money for plates and bowls. But what made Ding Mao more satisfied was that the big brother's large sum of money actually contained a Yongzheng Tongbao.

He finally got one of the "Fourth Master" he had longed for, and it was from the Bao'an Bureau, so he could get a set of Five Emperors coins.

Seeing that no one was exchanging things for the time being, Ding Mao smiled and said to the aunt: "Auntie, please show me the way, and I will take you over to see your bottles."

So, Ding Mao soon came to his aunt's house.

The house was still an old one and had not been renovated. The light in the house was relatively dark, but Ding Mao could tell at a glance that it was a pair of bottle dusters painted by famous artists.

This is a pair of 300 large vases with colorful paintings of figures from the Three Kingdoms in the Republic of China. The theme is shooting a halberd at the gate. There are poems on the back and the inscription is painted by Cheng Yuxin in Zhushan.It is a standard porcelain with the characteristics of Cheng Yu's new painting method.

The figures painted in Cheng Yuxin's works are generally relatively small, but the paintings are delicate, the stories are vivid, and the characters are spirited. They are one of the types with great collection potential.

During the Republic of China, porcelain production represented by Jingdezhen was still prosperous, and some unique new varieties appeared, such as light crimson color, new pastel color, etc.

In particular, the light crimson color and pastel porcelain created by the "Eight Friends of Zhushan" introduced humanistic factors and creative personality into craft-painted porcelain, leaving a number of works with strong artistic personality, which became a part of the porcelain of the Republic of China. Big highlight.

This pair of bottle dusters has a complete shape, a smooth and natural glaze, and no cracks or streaks on the body. It can be said that they are quite well preserved.

Moreover, the deal for the pair of bottles was quite happy. The aunt asked for part of the cash, and then took several steel basins, plates, and bowls.

Ding Mao was overjoyed and carefully put it into the cigarette box. He also found many paper shells and other things between the two bottles to separate them, and padded and wrapped them with quilts to prevent them from being shaken by the bumps on the village road. bad.
