The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 370, Burial Objects?

As the Lou family's affairs came to an end, a few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Weiguo's life slowly returned to calm.

Weekends, nights.

Early in the morning, after one o'clock.

Li Weiguo opened his eyes and woke up.

As usual, I glanced at the clock to confirm the time, then gently rolled over and got up, changed my clothes, and put on my mask and hat.

After everything was packed up, he quietly went out, put away his bicycle, and rolled it out from the corner.

It has been a week since the last time they provided supplies to Lao Fu and his son. It is estimated that after such a long time, they have sold out that batch of supplies, and it is time to go to them to settle the bill.

There must be fresh meat and eggs to open the way. This time the harvest of the old man should be good, but I don't know how many good things the old master can help him collect this time.

After leaving the courtyard and releasing his bicycle, Li Weiguo found the direction, picked up the bicycle and jumped out.

Relying on the super night vision ability at night, I left Nanluogu Alley and made many twists and turns along the way. In a short time, I arrived near the root of Xihuang City.

He glanced at the crowded ghost market from a distance, and instead of joining in the fun, he turned a corner, got into a small alley, and headed straight for the house of the second son of the Fu family in a familiar way.

When they arrived at the Fu family's yard, the second son of the Fu family was already waiting. When Li Weiguo put away his bicycle and went up to knock on the door, the second son of the Fu family who was guarding the door ran over and opened the door as soon as he heard the noise. .

"Master Li."

"Well, let's go in and talk."

"Okay, Mr. Li, please come in."

Li Weiguo didn't waste any time and stepped into the courtyard. He glanced left and right with his mind. After confirming the safety, he walked into the second courtyard with confidence.

After entering the second courtyard, after a while, Old Fu and the boss of the Fu family came out of the main room one after another after hearing the door opening in the front yard.

"Master Li, you're here." Old Fu greeted him first.

"Well, Master Fu, without further ado, let's get down to business first."

"Hey, okay, Mr. Li, please come to the house. Everything has been prepared for you." The old man bowed, stretched out his hand, and invited him into the house.

Li Weiguo nodded and followed the three of them into the house.

After entering the main room, the old man lit a lantern. The dim light immediately illuminated the main room a little, and also revealed several large boxes stacked in the center of the main room.

Li Weiguo picked up the flashlight in his hand, turned on the light and shined a light on the boxes on the ground. Hey, the things are really old and young. There are eight large camphor wood boxes. It seems that the old man's harvest this time is really good.

Seeing the expectation in Li Weiguo's eyes, the old man smiled and took credit: "Master Li, this time I used fresh meat and eggs to directly exchange things. The efficiency is much better than using money to collect before. In the past, many people were squandering the family's financial resources." The old people and young people who are willing to lend a hand can no longer survive the hard times now. When they heard that I had fresh meat and eggs, they were willing to exchange their items with me."

"No, I have collected a lot of miscellaneous items this week, and most of them are high-quality items, haha."

The old man said with a smile, while he stepped forward, and together with his two sons, opened the eight camphor wood boxes on the ground one by one, asking him to take a look.

Li Weiguo glanced at the eight boxes with the flashlight in his hand. Following the light, he quickly saw clearly the contents of the eight boxes.

Not to mention, Lao Fu and his family have made quite a lot of achievements this time. Every box is stuffed to the brim. At a glance, there are all kinds of items, and it is estimated that there must be at least four to five hundred items.

Three-color pottery figurines from the Tang Dynasty, black-glazed jianzhan from the Song Dynasty, jade urns, Yuan blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, underglaze red, blue and white porcelain from the Hongwu period, porcelain bowls from the Qianlong period, porcelain plates from the Kangxi period, snuff bottles, etc. There were all kinds of objects from all dynasties, which made Li Weiguo dazzled.

Seeing that Li Weiguo was looking a little dazzled, the old man handed over a few pieces of letter paper at the right time.

"Master Li, this is the list of items this time. There are 426 items in total. There are also large and small yellow croakers worth 25,000 yuan, a total of 80 pieces. Please take a look."

Li Weiguo nodded and took it, using the light of the flashlight to look at it carefully.

The first thing that catches the eye are five large yellow croakers and seventy-five small yellow croakers, which are worth almost 25,000 yuan in conversion;

Next is the catalog list of more than 400 items below.

Tang Sancai pottery figurines of ladies, five pieces, purchase price: 180 yuan;

Song Dynasty Yaobian Tianmu Jianzhan, three pieces, purchase price: 100 yuan;

Jade 卣 (you) with an animal face pattern from the Song Dynasty, purchase price: 45 yuan;

Yuan Dynasty Yuan blue and white seawater white dragon pattern octagonal plum vase, purchase price: 27 yuan;

Yuan Dynasty underglaze red 匜 (yi), purchase price: 20 yuan;

Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, purchase price: 35 yuan;

Yongle's blue and white Shoushan Fuhai pattern three-legged stove, purchase price: 30 yuan;

Qianlong pastel deer pattern double-eared statue, purchase price: 28 yuan;

Yongzheng ink color landscape and wood grain pen holder, purchase price: 23 yuan;

Kangxi bean green glaze cloud pattern horseshoe statue, purchase price: 42 yuan;

After all, Lin Lin calculated that there were 426 treasures, which cost a total of more than 12,000 yuan, and the average purchase price was more than 30 yuan per piece.

The fresh meat and eggs that Li Weiguo provided to Lao Fu before were worth 32,000 yuan, plus the remaining 6,000 yuan of acquisition funds, it was almost 38,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the items and gold collected this time. According to accounting, the value is almost the same, so it can be considered a write-off.

As for the price difference and fractions, Li Weiguo didn't care at all. He just regarded it as the hard work of Lao Fu and his family.

Looking at the list in his hand, Li Weiguo nodded with satisfaction and acknowledged Lao Fu's work.

There are so many high-quality old items. Although fresh meat and fresh eggs have opened the way, it is not that easy to collect so many high-quality items. Without certain channels and connections, you don’t know where to collect good things. Woolen cloth.

Using a flashlight, Li Weiguo carefully looked at the list in his hand and compared it with the contents of the box.

After a while, he actually saw another important treasure: an ivory mat from the Yongzheng period.

Good guy, Li Weiguo's eyes popped out when he saw this thing.

According to the records of the Qing Dynasty, there were only five ivory mats in the country at that time. Later, Yongzheng issued an explicit order to stop production, and production did not continue.

Because making an ivory mat requires splitting the ivory into thin slices of even thickness, grinding the slices very smooth, splitting them into silk, and finally soaking them in a special potion to soften them and weaving them into a mat.

In this process, the utilization rate of ivory materials is less than 10%, which means that more than 90% of the ivory materials are likely to be scrapped, so the price of ivory mats is very expensive.

Of course, ivory mats are not only expensive in terms of materials. The labor required to make an ivory mat is exaggerated. It took 60 skilled craftsmen and 18 months to produce an ivory mat that satisfied the emperor.

After Yongzheng inspected the craftsmanship and cost, he was so distressed that his heart was trembling, so he banned the production of ivory mats.

Of these only five ivory mats, after several wars, only three were known to the world in later generations. As for the other two, they have disappeared, and the technology for making ivory mats has also been lost.

I am so lucky to see one of them here.

I don’t know which eunuch or palace maid took this treasure out of the palace, but let the old man get it by his luck.

And when Li Weiguo looked at the price on the list, well, the purchase price was only two hundred and thirty yuan, which was a huge steal.

Looking at the long list of items in his hand, Li Weiguo couldn't help but feel elated.

Sure enough, the wealthy wealthy people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a lot of money. They could dazzle people just by taking out anything. If they came to ransack their homes later, how many good things would they find?

It seems that when the wind blows in the future, we can also focus on these old and young people. We can't let the treasures left by our ancestors be ruined in vain, can't we, Li Weiguo thought secretly.

After reading one page of the list, Li Weiguo continued to turn to the next page. After reading for a while, he suddenly said "Huh" and frowned.

The old man's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at each other with his two sons, thinking there was something wrong. He quickly bowed and asked, "Master Li, is there something wrong with the list?"

Li Weiguo did not answer him in a hurry, but looked down carefully several times, and then pointed to the details on the list and asked him: "Master Fu, the Hotan Jade Chaotian Jian, Jade Chan, Plum Vase, and Lacquerware are all listed here." Where to put it? Find it and let me see."

The old man was stunned for a moment, thinking about it for a moment, and then immediately walked to a box and dug out the things one by one with his two sons.

The things were found, there were twenty-two in total, and they were all placed neatly on the Eight Immortals table in the main room.

Li Weiguo took a flashlight and looked at the twenty-two funerary objects carefully. He couldn't help frowning and asked: "Master Fu, why are there so many funerary objects among the objects you collected this time?"

It's no wonder that Li Weiguo was curious. Although Lao Fu had received funerary objects a few times before, the number was not large, only one or two, so Li Weiguo didn't pay attention.

For example, the three-color pottery figurines of the Tang Dynasty are typical funerary objects of the Tang Dynasty. There were many tomb robbers in all dynasties and generations. It is not surprising that some people collect and sell these things.

But this time it was different. This time the old man collected not only Tang Sancai, but also Hetian Jade Tomb Beast Chaotianhuan, Jade Cicada, and a large number of tomb gold and silverware, lacquerware, and plum vases. Judging from the age, they were still the same. Objects from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties look like they were made in the same batch at the same time.

Although Li Weiguo is only half-experienced when it comes to antiques and cultural relics, he has collected so many good things in the past two years, and he still has basic eyesight and knowledge.

Those who can use Hetian Jade Chaotianhu as a tomb beast must be relatives of the emperor, princes and nobles.

The royal relatives, princes and nobles during the Manchu Qing Dynasty?

It can't be such a coincidence, right?
