Rebirth of Pearl Jade Space
Work related
Continue to browse, hoping to find some useful little things.
Lin Ying looked at these small stalls, and found that the three most common items were porcelain, jade, and bronze wares, and most of them were small items, and there were very few items as big as the tri-colored Tang tri-colored horse with colorful horses that she found earlier.Of course, it is also possible that the seller did not release it, after all, the table is only so big.
Lin Ying was not in a hurry to stroll around slowly, the sun was also rising at this time, the sun in winter is always warm, and the people who bask in the sun are lazy and more comfortable.And the sun shines on the baubles that are put out, making them more radiant and attractive. It seems that at first glance, each of them is a bit real.
"Come and see, come and see, don't miss it when you pass by, these are all new and good things, the small one is [-] yuan a piece, the big one is [-] yuan, you can choose."
Just when Lin Ying was a little absent-minded, she heard the voice of a middle-aged man not far away, and what she said was quite tempting.Seeing that there were more and more people around there, Lin Ying stepped up and walked there.
When I walked to the stall, I found that his small table was divided into two parts. One part contained the so-called small items, and the other side contained the large items.It looks like they are all porcelain, the small ones include spoons, chopsticks, snuff bottles, small cups and some colored figurines;In short, there are all kinds of porcelain, some complete and some broken, some colored and some monochromatic, all kinds of porcelain are piled together.
Lin Ying thought it was quite interesting. According to the stall owner himself, he scooped up these things when he went to the countryside to shovel the land, so there must be many good things.But before he touched it, he felt that everything looked like the ordinary porcelain used at home before, and there was no difference.
There are quite a lot of things, and it is impossible to touch them one by one. Seeing that there are fewer big things, Lin Ying decided to start looking at the big things.
Pick up a flat-bottomed bowl, fake; pick up a bucket-colored vase, fake; pick up a vanity case, still fake.The fake ones were all fake ones. Lin Ying looked at a dozen of them in one go, but none of them were genuine.Although he knew that it was not so easy to pick up the leaks, but it was really smooth before, which made him forget the cruelty of the antique market.
Lin Ying stood up and looked at the table full of porcelain, feeling a little discouraged. At this moment, he also came to his senses. Maybe none of them here are genuine. 100 yuan a piece, 500 yuan a piece, cheap It's cheap, but that's for real products, if it's for ordinary porcelain, it's only worth one-tenth of the price.
Lin Ying finished touching the big one, and went to look at the small one. Although she had suspicions in her heart, she still didn't want to let it go. Just like a gambler, no one wants to give up until the end.
Huh, just as Lin Ying was already working on the machine, suddenly there was heat in his palm. Although it wasn't too hot, he finally found a real product.
Lin Ying came back to look, and found that she was holding a small cup in her hand, but this small cup was somewhat different from ordinary small cups. It was shaped like a bowl as a whole, with a fixed ring on one side. The rich blue and white tones, painted with some intertwining patterns, scattered between the glazes, are integrated with the exquisite shape of the vessel, and its style is extremely elegant.
After picking up one, Lin Ying was in a good mood and her interest was much higher, and she began to pick and choose among a bunch of small items.I didn't touch a real product until the end.Lin Ying saw that many people were already paying the bill, so she was not in a hurry to line up to pay.
I have to say that the business here is really good. Maybe the people who come here have a mentality of picking up the missing ones, thinking that maybe they can pick it up after spending 100 yuan?So most people bought small items, and Lin Ying was not conspicuous among them.
After paying, Lin Ying took the small cup and asked the stall owner, "Boss, do you have anything else? I want to choose another similar set for my small cup, or choose a small saucer to go with it." It's not bad to wear."
After hearing what Lin Ying said, the boss looked at the small cup in Lin Ying's hand and laughed loudly. "Little brother, this is not a cup. This is a bird food jar, which is a utensil for feeding birds. Don't hold it to drink water by yourself!"
When Lin Ying heard this, she became embarrassed.After working for a long time, it turns out that I haven't figured out what this thing is.She blushed, didn't ask if there was anything else, and ran away quickly.
It's a pity that Lin Ying wanted to run away, but someone prevented him from running away.A kind-faced old man in Tang suit who looked around sixty came up from behind and stopped Lin Ying panting. selling?"
Lin Ying looked at the old man in surprise, what does this mean?Do you want to buy it at the real price or still pick it up from him?
Seeing Lin Ying's appearance, the old man didn't say much, and smiled and asked Lin Ying to go to a nearby tea house to rest. Only then did he realize that there was a man in his thirties following behind the old man, who looked a bit like an assistant.
Looking at this assistant, Lin Ying felt a little uncertain. People who can be paired with assistants these days are not simple people.I don't know if the old man's assistant was hired by his family to take care of his life, or to cooperate with the work?
"Young man, you have good eyesight at such a young age. Do you sell bird food jars?" the old man still asked with a smile on his face.
Lin Ying looked at the old man with some hesitation. This little pot was of no use to him, and it was in exchange for money in the end, but he didn't know the price either. "I don't know what price you are offering, old man? In fact, I don't know the price very well."
Lin Ying said without concealing that, after all, he has only been in the industry for a short time, so saying that he has entered the industry is considered a compliment.I just read a few introductory books, and at most, after using the ability to identify it as genuine, I can barely tell what age it is from its texture and shape.Unlike before, when looking at porcelain, there are only bowls, cups, plates, bottles, and stoves. How do you know that there are dozens of types of bowls, such as palace bowls, square bowls, flat bowls, four-outlet bowls, cups, tea boats, and bamboo bowls; There are more than a dozen or twenty types of cups, such as cockscomb cups, hand-pressing cups, Gaoshi cups, ear cups, pigeon-shaped cups, horseshoe cups, and square bucket cups.
But even if it can be clearly distinguished, the price is different for each type. Even if it is the same blue and white, the price of individual figures, landscapes, etc. is also different.So for this bird food jar, he really didn't know the price.
"The market price of this single-can bird food jar from the Mingde period is about 40 to 50. The blue and white color of your jar is ideal, and the body does not appear to be cracked or glazed. The combination of tire and tire is quite ideal, the glaze is relatively uniform, and the painting is tight, delicate, and meticulous. It should be a work when Xuande's post-production was very mature. Let me give you an intermediate price, 45, what do you think?"
It was only after listening to the old man's analysis of Lin Ying that he realized that he still had so much knowledge, as far as he could see it, it was nothing at all.Moreover, the old man's bid was indeed fair, so Lin Ying readily agreed to the deal.
The old man said to go to the bank to transfer the money. After Lin Ying agreed, the moment she stood up, she thought about the other items in the backpack, wondering if the old man was interested. "Uh, old man, I still have a few small things that I bought before. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Oh? Is there something else? That's right, then please come out and have a look." The old man became interested when he heard that there was something else, and sat down again.
Lin Ying took out a total of four items from the bag and placed them on the table one by one, asking the old man to have a look.
The old man looked at it very carefully, and Lin Ying felt a little relieved when he looked at it. The old man must really like these things. It is better to sell them to him than to keep them in his own hands. Even if the price is cheaper later, it is acceptable.
Lin Ying felt that these things were bought by him, and he thought they were his children. He was obliged to find someone who loved them the most to keep them. Those who make commodities are much stronger in their hands.
No.30 Second round
The old man looked at the four items for about half an hour. In fact, he didn't spend too much time looking at the previous ones, but the small bowl with paper-cut decals that he just bought took the longest to look at.
After reading it, the old man put away the magnifying glass and glasses, and looked at Lin Ying with complicated eyes. "Little brother has a very good vision. Tell me, how do you sell these pieces?"
"Old man, we are already acquaintances. If you always feel suitable and like it, just make a price." Lin Ying didn't care, and smiled.
The old man thought for a while, and said, "The four pieces add up to 120 million for you, how about it?"
Lin Ying was a little surprised. Although he had checked the prices of these items, they were about 20 more expensive than the old man's price, but that was the auction price. It seemed that the old man really didn't want to take advantage of him.
"It doesn't need to be so much. I still understand the price of these few pieces. The five pieces will be 150 million in total later."
"Okay. The young man is refreshing."
After coming out of the bank, the old man gave Lin Ying a phone number, saying that if he got something good in the future, he could still call him.
Lin Ying also happily exchanged numbers with the old man, and at a glance, he knew that the old man was not short of money, and he was definitely an old player in this line of work after appraising things quickly. He was still very willing to deal with such a person.At the very least, if you have good things in the future, you don't have to look around for someone to buy them, right?
Looking at the time, it was almost lunch time, and the number of people on the street was much less than in the morning. Lin Ying decided to take a look at a few more restaurants, and wait for the flow of people to increase again after others had eaten before going to eat.This can be regarded as staggering the peak periods on both sides, saving more time.
Lin Ying came to a few small stalls with a relatively large number of people in the morning, and found that most of them were selling small jade items.You are jade pendants, jade cicadas, jade bracelets, etc. It looks like ancient jade accounts for two-thirds of it.
And many of the ancient jades in these small stalls are beautifully made, at least they look really antique, no matter whether it is colored or covered with oars, it really looks like that.
Lin Ying became interested, it would be nice if she could find a piece of ancient jade and go back.I still remember that the phoenix-shaped jade I bought at the auction last time was also an ancient jade. There are many more beautiful shapes than the phoenix-shaped jade in these small stalls.
Imagination is always full, and reality is always strong.Lin Ying searched two small stalls selling ancient jade, but did not find a real piece.When she came to the third stall, Lin Ying didn't have any hope.
Most of these ancient jades were passed down from generation to generation as family heirlooms, or they were dug out from tombs. The real ones are really rare.
Feeling all the way up, moving closer to the stall owner from her own side, Lin Ying touched a piece of white jade double dragon head ring from the Han Dynasty at the last few pieces.The Jue is made up of three pieces, two of which are dragon heads, almond eyes, and long necks, with soft and smooth lines, combining rigidity and softness.
This jue is small in size and big in size, with clear lines, and it comes from the hands of skilled craftsmen.Jue, an ancient ring-shaped pendant with gaps, symbolizes judgment and decision-making power, and is a symbol of severing ties with others.
This piece of white jade double dragon head ring did not heat up, which means it is a fake, but judging from its production, it can be regarded as a fine modern jade.Lin Ying held it in her hand and prepared to wait. If she still didn't find a real piece, she also planned to buy this one, it's a good idea.
The last piece is a white jade descendant bi, imitating the jade pendants of the Han Dynasty. It is less than fifteen centimeters long and about eight centimeters wide.
Old mine material, about 25 grams, excellent jade quality!Its color is warm and white, delicate, pure and rich, and it is the method of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty!Lin Ying didn't know why a piece of jade with such an open door appeared in such a small stall. Could it be that the stall owner was really blind to this point?
Jade Bi developed from the Neolithic Age to the Warring States Period and reached its peak in the Han Dynasty, thus stripping off the traditional sacrificial function and becoming a precious luxury for the etiquette, communication and furnishings of princes and generals, and a symbol of the wealth and status of the emperor, and its shape is becoming more and more More diverse and refined.The outline bi is the best of the bi, and the writing bi is the best of the best. The number of discovery is extremely rare and the popular time is relatively short.It is generally believed that from the beginning of Han Dynasty to the end of Han Dynasty.Only 4 complete pieces have been found in China. In addition to the two "Changyi descendants" Bibi, the other two are "Yishou" and "Changle" Bibi in the Forbidden City, and there is also a remnant Bibi "Yannian" in the Xianyang Museum. There is a "Changle Weiyang" inscription jade in Jinhuatang, Taiwan, and only a few inscriptions are known in the world.
And now the piece that appeared on the small stall, if it wasn't for the warmth in the palm of his hand and the blazing white light in his eyes telling Lin Ying that this piece of jade is definitely not the real thing, he would never believe that one day he would be able to touch it with his own hands Such a treasure!
Looking at the piece of jade in his hand, Lin Ying was so excited that he couldn't calm down. Even if he didn't know the market, he could still guess the value of this piece of jade.At least 300 million or more.If it is a real high ancient jade from the Han Dynasty, the price must be doubled at least.But this kind of rare treasure, even if you take more money, you can't get it.Lin Ying is also very content to meet a piece of pure imitation.
Lin Ying calmed down a bit, carefully put the two pieces of white jade together, and asked, "Boss, how do you sell these two pieces?"
The boss was a young man, probably because there were not too many people at noon, and he was too busy in the morning, so he was resting at the moment, and his mental strength was not as strong as in the morning.
The boss didn't even stand up, just cast a rough glance, and said: "These two yuan are the best two things on my stall, and no matter how many people look at them in the morning, there is nothing to buy. Seeing that the young master is also a real People, the price is 100 million."
Lin Ying pretended to look at the boss with an incredulous expression, and then shouted: "Boss, your price is too harsh. You must know that these two items are considered to be high-quality suet jade. According to the current public price The price is about 15 per gram, and the sum of such a small piece of food will not exceed 100 million."
"Young master, you are wrong to say that. Am I pure jade? I still have a carver here. Look at how beautiful the carver is. It is completely imitated from the jade bis of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Yes, think about the piece hidden in the Forbidden City, and then think about this piece, and you will find that the money you spent is worth it!"
"What do you mean? The one in the Forbidden City is the real one, a thing used by the imperial court. Can it be the same as your imitation? Besides, yours is not the best suet jade, even ordinary ones. If not Seeing that this is really a piece of white jade, I really don't like it. I don't want to say much, 10." Lin Ying's face turned black when she heard the boss's words, can the price of this real product and the fake one be compared together?Although one of the two pieces of jade is indeed genuine, the boss doesn't know.
"No, no, no way, how can you make such a counter-offer? The 10 yuan has not even been recovered from my cost price. Young master, I am also a small business, and I also collected it from other places. If you really want it, 80 yuan, you can't buy it again." not enough."
Seeing the bitter look on the boss's face, Lin Ying wanted to laugh in his heart. If he knew the truth, he didn't know if he would cry outright. "15."
In the end, the deal was made at a price of 38. Lin Ying took the boss directly to the bank where the old man transferred the money to him just now, transferred the money directly, and took the two jade pendants from the boss.
After getting these two pieces of jade, Lin Ying didn't bother to continue looking at them, so she went directly to a nearby shop to have lunch, take a good rest, and was also ready to take a good look at this piece of jade.It is best to find a red string to hang around your neck immediately.
This piece of jade wall is also a top-quality Hetian white jade, with no blemishes and waxy luster.The pendant is flake-shaped and round, and the upper part of the outer wall is carved with double chilongs, facing each other, with cloud patterns on the top of the head.The circular engraved double chi pattern on the lower part is extremely complicated, and remembers the four characters "Changyi descendants".
This product is carved by techniques such as round carving, hollow carving, openwork carving, and line carving. It is exquisite in workmanship, delicate and moist, and has exquisite patterns. The exemplary work is precious. "Chang Yi descendants" means that the descendants of future generations can live a happy and comfortable life. This kind of themed jade has many manifestations in the court jade wares of the Qian and Jia Dynasties, and should be used by the emperor as a gift to the princes and grandchildren.
Lin Ying smirked, thinking that he had never been cared by his mother or loved by his father since he was a child, and he never thought that one day he would bring good things that only princes and grandchildren used to use.Sure enough, people should love and pamper themselves more than relying on others.
After eating, Lin Ying went to a stall specializing in lanyards and bought a red string with complicated Chinese knots on it, and immediately put it on.Touching the slightly icy jade pendant hanging on his chest, he was very happy, let alone the beauty.
The morning's luck was not bad, Lin Ying hoped that the afternoon would continue to be this good, and she would be satisfied with just one of them, not to mention three more items.
It's a pity that wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel, and I don't know if it's because people bought all the good things. In short, after shopping all afternoon, Lin Ying just didn't touch a good thing.
But Lin Ying is not in a hurry, there are still three days left for this exchange meeting, and although there will be treasure appraisal activities on the last day, these small stalls will not be withdrawn, and those who want to shop still have a place to continue shopping for treasures.
In the next two days, Lin Ying found several good things one after another.
There was a pair of silver candlesticks, which I found at a booth specializing in antique silver products. Many things on them were very beautiful, but what caught Lin Ying's attention the most was this pair of silver harp candlesticks.The closing price is 1000 yuan, which is genuine.After I came back and checked the computer, I found out that its height is about: weight: 535g. The candlestick came from the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1870. The main body is in the shape of a harp, and there are bird heads on both sides to support the candlestick; the square base is decorated with rich flowers and leaves. Animal pattern, maker's signature and stamp on the base.It's a pity that the person who owned it before may not have taken good care of it. The signature and seal on the bottom are very blurred, and Lin Ying can't distinguish it with the naked eye.
There is also a set of fans of different sizes, a total of eleven pieces, all of which are works of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The seller stated that this is a set, and they will not be sold separately. The price of Lin Ying is not expensive, even though it is genuine, it is only 5. Head-to-head, Lin Ying didn't touch this fan, it's just the habit of Chinese people to make head-to-head when there is no room for repayment.The boss was also straightforward, and without further ado, he wrapped it up and gave it to Lin Ying.When Lin Ying got home and touched it with her hands, she realized that this fan was far more precious than the one he bought.After searching online, it turned out to be Zhou Zhimian's "Furong Bird Picture".
No.30 three times
No.30 three times
Furong bird picture, 18 cm high, 52 cm long, with the seal of Jianzang on it: Zhou Zhimian of Jiaofu, styled Fuqing, named Shaogu, from Changzhou (now Suzhou, Jiangsu).The year of his death is unknown, but he was active in the Wanli period.Good at flowers and birds, paying attention to observing and understanding the appearance and expression of flowers and birds, as well as various dynamics of birds, such as drinking, pecking and flying.Judging from the heat and light on the touch of this picture, its value is at least three times that of the Ming and Qing sets.
But for Lin Ying, an illiterate and crude person like Lin Ying, he couldn't see anything other than whether it looked good or not.Unlike the pair of candlesticks before, they really liked it. Apart from liking silver products, their elegance and generosity were also the main reason why Lin Ying couldn't put it down.
The last thing I found in the past two days was a yellow sand cultural brick that I found at a stall selling small handicrafts such as wood carvings and bamboo carvings.At that time, this brick was used as a support pad, but it looked a bit nondescript.But when Lin Ying held it in her hand, she found that it would become hot, it seemed that it was a genuine product that had not been recognized.
Lin Ying also knew that if she only bought a special brick, she would definitely be noticed by the seller, so she also bought a small wooden carving, and then took the brick with ease.
Back home, Lin Ying didn't know how to find out the origin of this brick for a while, after all, he couldn't remember what it was once he entered.Just when he was at a loss, he saw the business card on the table after returning from the first day, the old man who spent 150 million to buy some special antiques from him.
Overjoyed, he dialed the old man's phone. "Hello, is this Mr. Li?"
"Well, hello, I'm Mr.'s assistant, what can I do for you?"
"It's like this. I met Mr. Li on the first day of the exchange meeting. At that time, he said that he asked me to call him if there were any good things. Now I have a few more in my hand. I don't know if it's convenient for Mr. ?”
"Wait a minute, I'll ask Mr.
After about two minutes, the assistant's voice came from there again. "Mister said he has time now, you can come over. We are in room 1502 of xx hotel."
After making an appointment with Mr. Li, Lin Ying took this cultural brick with a yellow sand surface and the twelve fan pictures together.
In less than half an hour, Lin Ying was already standing in the room of Mr. Li's hotel.Five-star is five-star, the facilities in this room are really not comparable to his small business hotel.
"What did you gain, young man? Let's take it out and have a look." Mr. Li was still wearing a Tang suit and sitting on the sofa, but he was very good-tempered. When he saw Lin Ying arrived, he invited him to sit on the other sheet opposite him. on the small sofa.
The first thing Lin Ying took out were the twelve fans, "Mister, please palm your eyes."
Mr. Li first looked at the set of eleven final pictures, opened them one by one, and then put them away one by one. The last thing he looked at was the picture of a hibiscus bird as a head. He nodded while looking at it, and said: " They are well preserved, very rare. Although these painters are not too famous, they are still very valuable to collect, especially the last one.”
Lin Ying smiled, and didn't say that this one was actually sent as a gift, and it didn't cost a dime.Then he took out the brick and placed it on the table. "The old man looked at this, I thought it was weird, and I was not sure what it was."
As soon as the old gentleman saw the brick that Lin Ying took out, his eyes were straightened.After Lin Ying put the brick on the table, she picked it up immediately.Then he sighed with emotion, and said: "This is Chengni inkstone. Chengni inkstone is one of the four famous inkstones in China. It uses the mud in Fenhe Bay, Jiangzhou, which has high dry strength, smooth hand feeling, no sand, and high plasticity. , strong toughness and other characteristics, it has been processed through dozens of processes. It is a pity that this square inkstone has not been well maintained, and it is even slightly damaged when it is touched by the corner."
Hearing Mr. Li's words, Lin Ying suddenly realized that it turned out to be a Chengni inkstone. No wonder it looks like sand, but it is much finer than ordinary sand, even to the point of smoothness.
It's a pity that this inkstone was regarded as a common cultural brick and was not cared for.Anyone who really loves inkstone knows that inkstone is also alive and energetic, and it also needs care and maintenance, which is what people usually call "raising inkstone".Whether a stone inkstone can keep its vitality for a long time depends on whether the collector knows how to maintain it. If it is well maintained, its edge must be sharp and its ink development must be good.Only the inkstone that has been "raised" can maintain a natural and stable color, the body of the inkstone is as smooth as jade, and the whole body exudes a simple and simple atmosphere.Generally speaking, it takes more than half a year to raise a new inkstone, during which the collector must persist in grinding ink and inkstone every day.As the saying goes: It is better not to wash your face for three days than not to wash your inkstone for one day.When washing the inkstone, it must be cleaned, and the old ink should not be kept, so as not to dry and damage the surface of the inkstone due to dryness and cracking of the ink; when washing the inkstone, only the inkstone hall can be washed, and other parts of the inkstone must not be ground, otherwise, the surface layer of the inkstone will be easily abraded. , and even hurt the details of the carving.Especially for ancient inkstones, the patina is a symbol of age, and if it is worn away, its value will be greatly reduced.After the inkstone is washed, it must be maintained with clean water to maintain the luster of the inkstone.
The Chengni inkstone is processed and fired from fine mud that has been cleaned, so the Chengni inkstone is fine in texture, just like a baby's skin, and has the ability to store water without drying up, not to freeze in cold weather, and to emit ink without damage. Moisturizing Shengshui can be compared with the characteristics of good stone inkstone, so the predecessors have praised it.Chengni inkstone has different colors such as eel yellow, crab shell green, mung bean sand, and rose purple due to different sources of raw materials and different firing times.Chengni inkstones generally pay attention to patterns and shapes, and the lines of utensils are concise.
"Chengni inkstones were popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties. I see your Chengni inkstones are simple and majestic. They contain elegant charm from the inside to the outside. They are soft but still strong, so they are called "Song shape"." Li. Seeing Lin Ying's expression, the old gentleman smiled and continued.
"Thank you, sir. To be honest, when I first saw it, I just thought it was a little weird, but I couldn't explain it. After I picked it up, the feeling was even more strange. No brick can be made so delicate and elegant, so I chose it. I moved my mind and bought it back. I really didn’t expect it to be Chengni inkstone, one of the four famous inkstones, alas.”
"I have to say, besides your sharp eyes, you are also very lucky. It is difficult for others to pick up one in three days. How many pieces have you picked up?" Old Li teased Lin Ying and laughed.
"Where, that fan was not picked up, it was bought for real, and you can't make much money. I just thought it looked good, so I wanted to buy it." Lin Ying rubbed her nose, a little embarrassed.
"Is there any more? If you have any, take them out together." Seeing Lin Ying's appearance of being obedient after taking advantage of it, Mr. Li said a little angrily.
"Hey, there are still two pieces, but they are not for sale anymore, do you always want to see them?" Lin Ying thought of the pair of silver candles and the jade bib hanging around her neck, and said maliciously.
"Let's take a look at it. Looking at you like that, I'm afraid that the old man will not be able to steal your things." Old Li looked at Lin Ying with love and hatred.
Lin Ying pretended to be from her backpack, but actually took out the pair of silver candles from the space, as well as the jade bib hanging around her neck, and put them on the small table. "Please take a look."
Mr. Li took the pair of silver candles first, looked at them carefully, but didn't say much.But when he saw the jade bi, he was obviously a lot more excited. "This turned out to be a Bai Yubi imitating the descendants of Han Changyi in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty"? ! ! ! "
Lin Ying looked at Mr. Li's envious and jealous gaze with some complacency, lowered her head and laughed.He knew that no one who saw this jade could maintain a calm expression.
"What kind of luck do you think you are? Are you pretending to be radar eyes? Why did you meet all the good things?"
"Hey, when I saw this piece of jade, I couldn't believe it. I thought it was a very fine and high-quality imitation, but I didn't expect to look carefully and find that it was actually a real piece."
After playing with it for a while, Mr. Li was furious when he saw the hated kid on the other side. Why did you say that such a kid encountered this thing? If nothing else, just this piece of jade Even someone who knew a little about ancient jade could recognize it when he saw it, but it just fell into his hand.
"Hmph, tell me about your other items, what's the price?"
"Hey, Mr. Li, you can just give it as you see it. These few things are really not my favorite."
"Hmph, I'll be happy if you also take out that piece of jade and sell it to me."
"If you can't, don't make fun of me, old man. It's hard for me to find something in my heart."
"Forget it, I won't embarrass you. The fan and the inkstone will count you 350 million in total. How about it?"
"Okay, the old man asked a fair price, I have no objection." Lin Ying watched the old man ask the assistant to transfer the money, and then chatted with the old man for a while before leaving.
There is still the last day of the exchange meeting. In addition to the small stalls of the previous few days, an area was specially set aside for treasure appraisal.The five experts are proficient in calligraphy and painting, jade, bronze, porcelain and miscellaneous.
When Lin Ying arrived, the five experts hadn't arrived yet, but there was already a long queue in front of their seats.Lin Ying didn't have anything to appraise, so she didn't plan to join in the fun.
On the last day, Lin Ying was going to go to a small alley adjacent to the exchange meeting to look at street stalls.Perhaps because of the exchange meeting held here, the flow of people has increased greatly, and there are also many players setting up street stalls in the adjacent alley.
Walking into the small alley, there are quite a few people in Lin Ying's place, but after looking at a few stalls, they found that the things on these stalls were more messy than the stalls at the exchange meeting, and the people were also more chaotic.
After walking around, Lin Ying was squatting in front of a street stall, fumbling with the objects on it, hoping to see if she could be lucky enough to find another good thing.Just when Lin Ying was about to leave in frustration, a man in his fifties suddenly rushed over.
"Boss, Boss, I just bought a Han Dynasty bronze mirror from you, and it cost 1 yuan. You clearly said that your home is all genuine, and fake ones don't cost money. But I just went home and showed it to my friends, and they It’s not right.” The middle-aged man said anxiously.
"Then what do you want?" The boss, a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, asked coolly after hearing the man's words.
"I want to return the goods, but I don't need to return all of them. I can return [-] lines."

After Lin Ying heard this, she looked at the buyer again, and knew that the buyer was actually from an ordinary family. She spent 1 yuan on what she thought was a real bronze mirror, but when she got home, she found it was fake. Thinking about running back to return the goods without money.
Lin Ying shook her head. The competition in the antique business is all about eyesight. It doesn't make sense in this business to buy something by yourself, take medicine, and then want to return it.Don't say what the seller said, everyone in this industry can make up stories, and the words are better than the songs. If you really believe what they say, you will take off your pants sooner or later.
Sure enough, the boss does not accept returns. "That can't be done. Not to mention refunding eight thousand, even refunding two thousand is impossible. The rules in this industry are like this. Buy it and leave it, and each will go his own way."
When the buyer heard this, his face turned pale. "Boss, don't hurt me like this. My family is not a wealthy family. My wife will scold me to death if she finds out about the 1 yuan."
Lin Ying looked at this man, to be honest, he was quite pitiful, but a poor man must have something to hate.He didn't even think about it, if a real Han Dynasty bronze mirror, could it be so cheap?If you want to be greedy for petty gains, you should be prepared to be cheated.
Lin Ying stood aside, her eyes couldn't help but look at the bronze mirror.It was found that it was a typical Han Dynasty "Lace Four Breasts Eight Gods Mirror".This bronze mirror is round, with a round button and a persimmon pedicle pattern button seat. The patterns on the back are extremely complex and beautiful.Looking at the back of the mirror like this, it is smooth and flawless, with exquisite decorations, top-notch templates, and excellent appearance.It is very rare that it has been preserved so perfectly after thousands of years.
Lin Ying looked again at the buyer who was still arguing with the seller. At this time, more and more people gathered around, but few sympathized with the buyer.Anyone who has been in this industry for a long time knows the rules of this industry.
To Lin Ying, [-] yuan is really nothing, and her heart softened, even if it was a fake, she should buy it back and play with it, anyway, it looks pretty good. "Uncle, can you show me your mirror?"
Lin Ying interrupted suddenly so that the two people who were arguing finally stopped.And the buyer nodded quickly after being taken aback, and handed the mirror to Lin Ying.
Lin Ying's hand that took the mirror trembled, and she almost lost her grip on the mirror.The main reason was that she was not in the mood to prepare for the heat coming from the palm of her hand. Lin Ying was surprised and also amused by the buyer.
"This mirror looks beautiful. Uncle, do you really want to return it? You know it's worth 1 yuan to buy a bronze mirror." Lin Ying wanted to help the buyer one last time. If he listened to his advice Advise him to keep this mirror, then he will be lucky.
"Refund, I must refund! The 1 yuan is worth my three months' salary. How can such a broken mirror be worth 1 yuan!" Advised.
"Then boss, are you really not going to return this uncle?"
"This line
Lin Ying looked at these small stalls, and found that the three most common items were porcelain, jade, and bronze wares, and most of them were small items, and there were very few items as big as the tri-colored Tang tri-colored horse with colorful horses that she found earlier.Of course, it is also possible that the seller did not release it, after all, the table is only so big.
Lin Ying was not in a hurry to stroll around slowly, the sun was also rising at this time, the sun in winter is always warm, and the people who bask in the sun are lazy and more comfortable.And the sun shines on the baubles that are put out, making them more radiant and attractive. It seems that at first glance, each of them is a bit real.
"Come and see, come and see, don't miss it when you pass by, these are all new and good things, the small one is [-] yuan a piece, the big one is [-] yuan, you can choose."
Just when Lin Ying was a little absent-minded, she heard the voice of a middle-aged man not far away, and what she said was quite tempting.Seeing that there were more and more people around there, Lin Ying stepped up and walked there.
When I walked to the stall, I found that his small table was divided into two parts. One part contained the so-called small items, and the other side contained the large items.It looks like they are all porcelain, the small ones include spoons, chopsticks, snuff bottles, small cups and some colored figurines;In short, there are all kinds of porcelain, some complete and some broken, some colored and some monochromatic, all kinds of porcelain are piled together.
Lin Ying thought it was quite interesting. According to the stall owner himself, he scooped up these things when he went to the countryside to shovel the land, so there must be many good things.But before he touched it, he felt that everything looked like the ordinary porcelain used at home before, and there was no difference.
There are quite a lot of things, and it is impossible to touch them one by one. Seeing that there are fewer big things, Lin Ying decided to start looking at the big things.
Pick up a flat-bottomed bowl, fake; pick up a bucket-colored vase, fake; pick up a vanity case, still fake.The fake ones were all fake ones. Lin Ying looked at a dozen of them in one go, but none of them were genuine.Although he knew that it was not so easy to pick up the leaks, but it was really smooth before, which made him forget the cruelty of the antique market.
Lin Ying stood up and looked at the table full of porcelain, feeling a little discouraged. At this moment, he also came to his senses. Maybe none of them here are genuine. 100 yuan a piece, 500 yuan a piece, cheap It's cheap, but that's for real products, if it's for ordinary porcelain, it's only worth one-tenth of the price.
Lin Ying finished touching the big one, and went to look at the small one. Although she had suspicions in her heart, she still didn't want to let it go. Just like a gambler, no one wants to give up until the end.
Huh, just as Lin Ying was already working on the machine, suddenly there was heat in his palm. Although it wasn't too hot, he finally found a real product.
Lin Ying came back to look, and found that she was holding a small cup in her hand, but this small cup was somewhat different from ordinary small cups. It was shaped like a bowl as a whole, with a fixed ring on one side. The rich blue and white tones, painted with some intertwining patterns, scattered between the glazes, are integrated with the exquisite shape of the vessel, and its style is extremely elegant.
After picking up one, Lin Ying was in a good mood and her interest was much higher, and she began to pick and choose among a bunch of small items.I didn't touch a real product until the end.Lin Ying saw that many people were already paying the bill, so she was not in a hurry to line up to pay.
I have to say that the business here is really good. Maybe the people who come here have a mentality of picking up the missing ones, thinking that maybe they can pick it up after spending 100 yuan?So most people bought small items, and Lin Ying was not conspicuous among them.
After paying, Lin Ying took the small cup and asked the stall owner, "Boss, do you have anything else? I want to choose another similar set for my small cup, or choose a small saucer to go with it." It's not bad to wear."
After hearing what Lin Ying said, the boss looked at the small cup in Lin Ying's hand and laughed loudly. "Little brother, this is not a cup. This is a bird food jar, which is a utensil for feeding birds. Don't hold it to drink water by yourself!"
When Lin Ying heard this, she became embarrassed.After working for a long time, it turns out that I haven't figured out what this thing is.She blushed, didn't ask if there was anything else, and ran away quickly.
It's a pity that Lin Ying wanted to run away, but someone prevented him from running away.A kind-faced old man in Tang suit who looked around sixty came up from behind and stopped Lin Ying panting. selling?"
Lin Ying looked at the old man in surprise, what does this mean?Do you want to buy it at the real price or still pick it up from him?
Seeing Lin Ying's appearance, the old man didn't say much, and smiled and asked Lin Ying to go to a nearby tea house to rest. Only then did he realize that there was a man in his thirties following behind the old man, who looked a bit like an assistant.
Looking at this assistant, Lin Ying felt a little uncertain. People who can be paired with assistants these days are not simple people.I don't know if the old man's assistant was hired by his family to take care of his life, or to cooperate with the work?
"Young man, you have good eyesight at such a young age. Do you sell bird food jars?" the old man still asked with a smile on his face.
Lin Ying looked at the old man with some hesitation. This little pot was of no use to him, and it was in exchange for money in the end, but he didn't know the price either. "I don't know what price you are offering, old man? In fact, I don't know the price very well."
Lin Ying said without concealing that, after all, he has only been in the industry for a short time, so saying that he has entered the industry is considered a compliment.I just read a few introductory books, and at most, after using the ability to identify it as genuine, I can barely tell what age it is from its texture and shape.Unlike before, when looking at porcelain, there are only bowls, cups, plates, bottles, and stoves. How do you know that there are dozens of types of bowls, such as palace bowls, square bowls, flat bowls, four-outlet bowls, cups, tea boats, and bamboo bowls; There are more than a dozen or twenty types of cups, such as cockscomb cups, hand-pressing cups, Gaoshi cups, ear cups, pigeon-shaped cups, horseshoe cups, and square bucket cups.
But even if it can be clearly distinguished, the price is different for each type. Even if it is the same blue and white, the price of individual figures, landscapes, etc. is also different.So for this bird food jar, he really didn't know the price.
"The market price of this single-can bird food jar from the Mingde period is about 40 to 50. The blue and white color of your jar is ideal, and the body does not appear to be cracked or glazed. The combination of tire and tire is quite ideal, the glaze is relatively uniform, and the painting is tight, delicate, and meticulous. It should be a work when Xuande's post-production was very mature. Let me give you an intermediate price, 45, what do you think?"
It was only after listening to the old man's analysis of Lin Ying that he realized that he still had so much knowledge, as far as he could see it, it was nothing at all.Moreover, the old man's bid was indeed fair, so Lin Ying readily agreed to the deal.
The old man said to go to the bank to transfer the money. After Lin Ying agreed, the moment she stood up, she thought about the other items in the backpack, wondering if the old man was interested. "Uh, old man, I still have a few small things that I bought before. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Oh? Is there something else? That's right, then please come out and have a look." The old man became interested when he heard that there was something else, and sat down again.
Lin Ying took out a total of four items from the bag and placed them on the table one by one, asking the old man to have a look.
The old man looked at it very carefully, and Lin Ying felt a little relieved when he looked at it. The old man must really like these things. It is better to sell them to him than to keep them in his own hands. Even if the price is cheaper later, it is acceptable.
Lin Ying felt that these things were bought by him, and he thought they were his children. He was obliged to find someone who loved them the most to keep them. Those who make commodities are much stronger in their hands.
No.30 Second round
The old man looked at the four items for about half an hour. In fact, he didn't spend too much time looking at the previous ones, but the small bowl with paper-cut decals that he just bought took the longest to look at.
After reading it, the old man put away the magnifying glass and glasses, and looked at Lin Ying with complicated eyes. "Little brother has a very good vision. Tell me, how do you sell these pieces?"
"Old man, we are already acquaintances. If you always feel suitable and like it, just make a price." Lin Ying didn't care, and smiled.
The old man thought for a while, and said, "The four pieces add up to 120 million for you, how about it?"
Lin Ying was a little surprised. Although he had checked the prices of these items, they were about 20 more expensive than the old man's price, but that was the auction price. It seemed that the old man really didn't want to take advantage of him.
"It doesn't need to be so much. I still understand the price of these few pieces. The five pieces will be 150 million in total later."
"Okay. The young man is refreshing."
After coming out of the bank, the old man gave Lin Ying a phone number, saying that if he got something good in the future, he could still call him.
Lin Ying also happily exchanged numbers with the old man, and at a glance, he knew that the old man was not short of money, and he was definitely an old player in this line of work after appraising things quickly. He was still very willing to deal with such a person.At the very least, if you have good things in the future, you don't have to look around for someone to buy them, right?
Looking at the time, it was almost lunch time, and the number of people on the street was much less than in the morning. Lin Ying decided to take a look at a few more restaurants, and wait for the flow of people to increase again after others had eaten before going to eat.This can be regarded as staggering the peak periods on both sides, saving more time.
Lin Ying came to a few small stalls with a relatively large number of people in the morning, and found that most of them were selling small jade items.You are jade pendants, jade cicadas, jade bracelets, etc. It looks like ancient jade accounts for two-thirds of it.
And many of the ancient jades in these small stalls are beautifully made, at least they look really antique, no matter whether it is colored or covered with oars, it really looks like that.
Lin Ying became interested, it would be nice if she could find a piece of ancient jade and go back.I still remember that the phoenix-shaped jade I bought at the auction last time was also an ancient jade. There are many more beautiful shapes than the phoenix-shaped jade in these small stalls.
Imagination is always full, and reality is always strong.Lin Ying searched two small stalls selling ancient jade, but did not find a real piece.When she came to the third stall, Lin Ying didn't have any hope.
Most of these ancient jades were passed down from generation to generation as family heirlooms, or they were dug out from tombs. The real ones are really rare.
Feeling all the way up, moving closer to the stall owner from her own side, Lin Ying touched a piece of white jade double dragon head ring from the Han Dynasty at the last few pieces.The Jue is made up of three pieces, two of which are dragon heads, almond eyes, and long necks, with soft and smooth lines, combining rigidity and softness.
This jue is small in size and big in size, with clear lines, and it comes from the hands of skilled craftsmen.Jue, an ancient ring-shaped pendant with gaps, symbolizes judgment and decision-making power, and is a symbol of severing ties with others.
This piece of white jade double dragon head ring did not heat up, which means it is a fake, but judging from its production, it can be regarded as a fine modern jade.Lin Ying held it in her hand and prepared to wait. If she still didn't find a real piece, she also planned to buy this one, it's a good idea.
The last piece is a white jade descendant bi, imitating the jade pendants of the Han Dynasty. It is less than fifteen centimeters long and about eight centimeters wide.
Old mine material, about 25 grams, excellent jade quality!Its color is warm and white, delicate, pure and rich, and it is the method of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty!Lin Ying didn't know why a piece of jade with such an open door appeared in such a small stall. Could it be that the stall owner was really blind to this point?
Jade Bi developed from the Neolithic Age to the Warring States Period and reached its peak in the Han Dynasty, thus stripping off the traditional sacrificial function and becoming a precious luxury for the etiquette, communication and furnishings of princes and generals, and a symbol of the wealth and status of the emperor, and its shape is becoming more and more More diverse and refined.The outline bi is the best of the bi, and the writing bi is the best of the best. The number of discovery is extremely rare and the popular time is relatively short.It is generally believed that from the beginning of Han Dynasty to the end of Han Dynasty.Only 4 complete pieces have been found in China. In addition to the two "Changyi descendants" Bibi, the other two are "Yishou" and "Changle" Bibi in the Forbidden City, and there is also a remnant Bibi "Yannian" in the Xianyang Museum. There is a "Changle Weiyang" inscription jade in Jinhuatang, Taiwan, and only a few inscriptions are known in the world.
And now the piece that appeared on the small stall, if it wasn't for the warmth in the palm of his hand and the blazing white light in his eyes telling Lin Ying that this piece of jade is definitely not the real thing, he would never believe that one day he would be able to touch it with his own hands Such a treasure!
Looking at the piece of jade in his hand, Lin Ying was so excited that he couldn't calm down. Even if he didn't know the market, he could still guess the value of this piece of jade.At least 300 million or more.If it is a real high ancient jade from the Han Dynasty, the price must be doubled at least.But this kind of rare treasure, even if you take more money, you can't get it.Lin Ying is also very content to meet a piece of pure imitation.
Lin Ying calmed down a bit, carefully put the two pieces of white jade together, and asked, "Boss, how do you sell these two pieces?"
The boss was a young man, probably because there were not too many people at noon, and he was too busy in the morning, so he was resting at the moment, and his mental strength was not as strong as in the morning.
The boss didn't even stand up, just cast a rough glance, and said: "These two yuan are the best two things on my stall, and no matter how many people look at them in the morning, there is nothing to buy. Seeing that the young master is also a real People, the price is 100 million."
Lin Ying pretended to look at the boss with an incredulous expression, and then shouted: "Boss, your price is too harsh. You must know that these two items are considered to be high-quality suet jade. According to the current public price The price is about 15 per gram, and the sum of such a small piece of food will not exceed 100 million."
"Young master, you are wrong to say that. Am I pure jade? I still have a carver here. Look at how beautiful the carver is. It is completely imitated from the jade bis of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Yes, think about the piece hidden in the Forbidden City, and then think about this piece, and you will find that the money you spent is worth it!"
"What do you mean? The one in the Forbidden City is the real one, a thing used by the imperial court. Can it be the same as your imitation? Besides, yours is not the best suet jade, even ordinary ones. If not Seeing that this is really a piece of white jade, I really don't like it. I don't want to say much, 10." Lin Ying's face turned black when she heard the boss's words, can the price of this real product and the fake one be compared together?Although one of the two pieces of jade is indeed genuine, the boss doesn't know.
"No, no, no way, how can you make such a counter-offer? The 10 yuan has not even been recovered from my cost price. Young master, I am also a small business, and I also collected it from other places. If you really want it, 80 yuan, you can't buy it again." not enough."
Seeing the bitter look on the boss's face, Lin Ying wanted to laugh in his heart. If he knew the truth, he didn't know if he would cry outright. "15."
In the end, the deal was made at a price of 38. Lin Ying took the boss directly to the bank where the old man transferred the money to him just now, transferred the money directly, and took the two jade pendants from the boss.
After getting these two pieces of jade, Lin Ying didn't bother to continue looking at them, so she went directly to a nearby shop to have lunch, take a good rest, and was also ready to take a good look at this piece of jade.It is best to find a red string to hang around your neck immediately.
This piece of jade wall is also a top-quality Hetian white jade, with no blemishes and waxy luster.The pendant is flake-shaped and round, and the upper part of the outer wall is carved with double chilongs, facing each other, with cloud patterns on the top of the head.The circular engraved double chi pattern on the lower part is extremely complicated, and remembers the four characters "Changyi descendants".
This product is carved by techniques such as round carving, hollow carving, openwork carving, and line carving. It is exquisite in workmanship, delicate and moist, and has exquisite patterns. The exemplary work is precious. "Chang Yi descendants" means that the descendants of future generations can live a happy and comfortable life. This kind of themed jade has many manifestations in the court jade wares of the Qian and Jia Dynasties, and should be used by the emperor as a gift to the princes and grandchildren.
Lin Ying smirked, thinking that he had never been cared by his mother or loved by his father since he was a child, and he never thought that one day he would bring good things that only princes and grandchildren used to use.Sure enough, people should love and pamper themselves more than relying on others.
After eating, Lin Ying went to a stall specializing in lanyards and bought a red string with complicated Chinese knots on it, and immediately put it on.Touching the slightly icy jade pendant hanging on his chest, he was very happy, let alone the beauty.
The morning's luck was not bad, Lin Ying hoped that the afternoon would continue to be this good, and she would be satisfied with just one of them, not to mention three more items.
It's a pity that wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel, and I don't know if it's because people bought all the good things. In short, after shopping all afternoon, Lin Ying just didn't touch a good thing.
But Lin Ying is not in a hurry, there are still three days left for this exchange meeting, and although there will be treasure appraisal activities on the last day, these small stalls will not be withdrawn, and those who want to shop still have a place to continue shopping for treasures.
In the next two days, Lin Ying found several good things one after another.
There was a pair of silver candlesticks, which I found at a booth specializing in antique silver products. Many things on them were very beautiful, but what caught Lin Ying's attention the most was this pair of silver harp candlesticks.The closing price is 1000 yuan, which is genuine.After I came back and checked the computer, I found out that its height is about: weight: 535g. The candlestick came from the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1870. The main body is in the shape of a harp, and there are bird heads on both sides to support the candlestick; the square base is decorated with rich flowers and leaves. Animal pattern, maker's signature and stamp on the base.It's a pity that the person who owned it before may not have taken good care of it. The signature and seal on the bottom are very blurred, and Lin Ying can't distinguish it with the naked eye.
There is also a set of fans of different sizes, a total of eleven pieces, all of which are works of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The seller stated that this is a set, and they will not be sold separately. The price of Lin Ying is not expensive, even though it is genuine, it is only 5. Head-to-head, Lin Ying didn't touch this fan, it's just the habit of Chinese people to make head-to-head when there is no room for repayment.The boss was also straightforward, and without further ado, he wrapped it up and gave it to Lin Ying.When Lin Ying got home and touched it with her hands, she realized that this fan was far more precious than the one he bought.After searching online, it turned out to be Zhou Zhimian's "Furong Bird Picture".
No.30 three times
No.30 three times
Furong bird picture, 18 cm high, 52 cm long, with the seal of Jianzang on it: Zhou Zhimian of Jiaofu, styled Fuqing, named Shaogu, from Changzhou (now Suzhou, Jiangsu).The year of his death is unknown, but he was active in the Wanli period.Good at flowers and birds, paying attention to observing and understanding the appearance and expression of flowers and birds, as well as various dynamics of birds, such as drinking, pecking and flying.Judging from the heat and light on the touch of this picture, its value is at least three times that of the Ming and Qing sets.
But for Lin Ying, an illiterate and crude person like Lin Ying, he couldn't see anything other than whether it looked good or not.Unlike the pair of candlesticks before, they really liked it. Apart from liking silver products, their elegance and generosity were also the main reason why Lin Ying couldn't put it down.
The last thing I found in the past two days was a yellow sand cultural brick that I found at a stall selling small handicrafts such as wood carvings and bamboo carvings.At that time, this brick was used as a support pad, but it looked a bit nondescript.But when Lin Ying held it in her hand, she found that it would become hot, it seemed that it was a genuine product that had not been recognized.
Lin Ying also knew that if she only bought a special brick, she would definitely be noticed by the seller, so she also bought a small wooden carving, and then took the brick with ease.
Back home, Lin Ying didn't know how to find out the origin of this brick for a while, after all, he couldn't remember what it was once he entered.Just when he was at a loss, he saw the business card on the table after returning from the first day, the old man who spent 150 million to buy some special antiques from him.
Overjoyed, he dialed the old man's phone. "Hello, is this Mr. Li?"
"Well, hello, I'm Mr.'s assistant, what can I do for you?"
"It's like this. I met Mr. Li on the first day of the exchange meeting. At that time, he said that he asked me to call him if there were any good things. Now I have a few more in my hand. I don't know if it's convenient for Mr. ?”
"Wait a minute, I'll ask Mr.
After about two minutes, the assistant's voice came from there again. "Mister said he has time now, you can come over. We are in room 1502 of xx hotel."
After making an appointment with Mr. Li, Lin Ying took this cultural brick with a yellow sand surface and the twelve fan pictures together.
In less than half an hour, Lin Ying was already standing in the room of Mr. Li's hotel.Five-star is five-star, the facilities in this room are really not comparable to his small business hotel.
"What did you gain, young man? Let's take it out and have a look." Mr. Li was still wearing a Tang suit and sitting on the sofa, but he was very good-tempered. When he saw Lin Ying arrived, he invited him to sit on the other sheet opposite him. on the small sofa.
The first thing Lin Ying took out were the twelve fans, "Mister, please palm your eyes."
Mr. Li first looked at the set of eleven final pictures, opened them one by one, and then put them away one by one. The last thing he looked at was the picture of a hibiscus bird as a head. He nodded while looking at it, and said: " They are well preserved, very rare. Although these painters are not too famous, they are still very valuable to collect, especially the last one.”
Lin Ying smiled, and didn't say that this one was actually sent as a gift, and it didn't cost a dime.Then he took out the brick and placed it on the table. "The old man looked at this, I thought it was weird, and I was not sure what it was."
As soon as the old gentleman saw the brick that Lin Ying took out, his eyes were straightened.After Lin Ying put the brick on the table, she picked it up immediately.Then he sighed with emotion, and said: "This is Chengni inkstone. Chengni inkstone is one of the four famous inkstones in China. It uses the mud in Fenhe Bay, Jiangzhou, which has high dry strength, smooth hand feeling, no sand, and high plasticity. , strong toughness and other characteristics, it has been processed through dozens of processes. It is a pity that this square inkstone has not been well maintained, and it is even slightly damaged when it is touched by the corner."
Hearing Mr. Li's words, Lin Ying suddenly realized that it turned out to be a Chengni inkstone. No wonder it looks like sand, but it is much finer than ordinary sand, even to the point of smoothness.
It's a pity that this inkstone was regarded as a common cultural brick and was not cared for.Anyone who really loves inkstone knows that inkstone is also alive and energetic, and it also needs care and maintenance, which is what people usually call "raising inkstone".Whether a stone inkstone can keep its vitality for a long time depends on whether the collector knows how to maintain it. If it is well maintained, its edge must be sharp and its ink development must be good.Only the inkstone that has been "raised" can maintain a natural and stable color, the body of the inkstone is as smooth as jade, and the whole body exudes a simple and simple atmosphere.Generally speaking, it takes more than half a year to raise a new inkstone, during which the collector must persist in grinding ink and inkstone every day.As the saying goes: It is better not to wash your face for three days than not to wash your inkstone for one day.When washing the inkstone, it must be cleaned, and the old ink should not be kept, so as not to dry and damage the surface of the inkstone due to dryness and cracking of the ink; when washing the inkstone, only the inkstone hall can be washed, and other parts of the inkstone must not be ground, otherwise, the surface layer of the inkstone will be easily abraded. , and even hurt the details of the carving.Especially for ancient inkstones, the patina is a symbol of age, and if it is worn away, its value will be greatly reduced.After the inkstone is washed, it must be maintained with clean water to maintain the luster of the inkstone.
The Chengni inkstone is processed and fired from fine mud that has been cleaned, so the Chengni inkstone is fine in texture, just like a baby's skin, and has the ability to store water without drying up, not to freeze in cold weather, and to emit ink without damage. Moisturizing Shengshui can be compared with the characteristics of good stone inkstone, so the predecessors have praised it.Chengni inkstone has different colors such as eel yellow, crab shell green, mung bean sand, and rose purple due to different sources of raw materials and different firing times.Chengni inkstones generally pay attention to patterns and shapes, and the lines of utensils are concise.
"Chengni inkstones were popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties. I see your Chengni inkstones are simple and majestic. They contain elegant charm from the inside to the outside. They are soft but still strong, so they are called "Song shape"." Li. Seeing Lin Ying's expression, the old gentleman smiled and continued.
"Thank you, sir. To be honest, when I first saw it, I just thought it was a little weird, but I couldn't explain it. After I picked it up, the feeling was even more strange. No brick can be made so delicate and elegant, so I chose it. I moved my mind and bought it back. I really didn’t expect it to be Chengni inkstone, one of the four famous inkstones, alas.”
"I have to say, besides your sharp eyes, you are also very lucky. It is difficult for others to pick up one in three days. How many pieces have you picked up?" Old Li teased Lin Ying and laughed.
"Where, that fan was not picked up, it was bought for real, and you can't make much money. I just thought it looked good, so I wanted to buy it." Lin Ying rubbed her nose, a little embarrassed.
"Is there any more? If you have any, take them out together." Seeing Lin Ying's appearance of being obedient after taking advantage of it, Mr. Li said a little angrily.
"Hey, there are still two pieces, but they are not for sale anymore, do you always want to see them?" Lin Ying thought of the pair of silver candles and the jade bib hanging around her neck, and said maliciously.
"Let's take a look at it. Looking at you like that, I'm afraid that the old man will not be able to steal your things." Old Li looked at Lin Ying with love and hatred.
Lin Ying pretended to be from her backpack, but actually took out the pair of silver candles from the space, as well as the jade bib hanging around her neck, and put them on the small table. "Please take a look."
Mr. Li took the pair of silver candles first, looked at them carefully, but didn't say much.But when he saw the jade bi, he was obviously a lot more excited. "This turned out to be a Bai Yubi imitating the descendants of Han Changyi in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty"? ! ! ! "
Lin Ying looked at Mr. Li's envious and jealous gaze with some complacency, lowered her head and laughed.He knew that no one who saw this jade could maintain a calm expression.
"What kind of luck do you think you are? Are you pretending to be radar eyes? Why did you meet all the good things?"
"Hey, when I saw this piece of jade, I couldn't believe it. I thought it was a very fine and high-quality imitation, but I didn't expect to look carefully and find that it was actually a real piece."
After playing with it for a while, Mr. Li was furious when he saw the hated kid on the other side. Why did you say that such a kid encountered this thing? If nothing else, just this piece of jade Even someone who knew a little about ancient jade could recognize it when he saw it, but it just fell into his hand.
"Hmph, tell me about your other items, what's the price?"
"Hey, Mr. Li, you can just give it as you see it. These few things are really not my favorite."
"Hmph, I'll be happy if you also take out that piece of jade and sell it to me."
"If you can't, don't make fun of me, old man. It's hard for me to find something in my heart."
"Forget it, I won't embarrass you. The fan and the inkstone will count you 350 million in total. How about it?"
"Okay, the old man asked a fair price, I have no objection." Lin Ying watched the old man ask the assistant to transfer the money, and then chatted with the old man for a while before leaving.
There is still the last day of the exchange meeting. In addition to the small stalls of the previous few days, an area was specially set aside for treasure appraisal.The five experts are proficient in calligraphy and painting, jade, bronze, porcelain and miscellaneous.
When Lin Ying arrived, the five experts hadn't arrived yet, but there was already a long queue in front of their seats.Lin Ying didn't have anything to appraise, so she didn't plan to join in the fun.
On the last day, Lin Ying was going to go to a small alley adjacent to the exchange meeting to look at street stalls.Perhaps because of the exchange meeting held here, the flow of people has increased greatly, and there are also many players setting up street stalls in the adjacent alley.
Walking into the small alley, there are quite a few people in Lin Ying's place, but after looking at a few stalls, they found that the things on these stalls were more messy than the stalls at the exchange meeting, and the people were also more chaotic.
After walking around, Lin Ying was squatting in front of a street stall, fumbling with the objects on it, hoping to see if she could be lucky enough to find another good thing.Just when Lin Ying was about to leave in frustration, a man in his fifties suddenly rushed over.
"Boss, Boss, I just bought a Han Dynasty bronze mirror from you, and it cost 1 yuan. You clearly said that your home is all genuine, and fake ones don't cost money. But I just went home and showed it to my friends, and they It’s not right.” The middle-aged man said anxiously.
"Then what do you want?" The boss, a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, asked coolly after hearing the man's words.
"I want to return the goods, but I don't need to return all of them. I can return [-] lines."
No.30 four times
After Lin Ying heard this, she looked at the buyer again, and knew that the buyer was actually from an ordinary family. She spent 1 yuan on what she thought was a real bronze mirror, but when she got home, she found it was fake. Thinking about running back to return the goods without money.
Lin Ying shook her head. The competition in the antique business is all about eyesight. It doesn't make sense in this business to buy something by yourself, take medicine, and then want to return it.Don't say what the seller said, everyone in this industry can make up stories, and the words are better than the songs. If you really believe what they say, you will take off your pants sooner or later.
Sure enough, the boss does not accept returns. "That can't be done. Not to mention refunding eight thousand, even refunding two thousand is impossible. The rules in this industry are like this. Buy it and leave it, and each will go his own way."
When the buyer heard this, his face turned pale. "Boss, don't hurt me like this. My family is not a wealthy family. My wife will scold me to death if she finds out about the 1 yuan."
Lin Ying looked at this man, to be honest, he was quite pitiful, but a poor man must have something to hate.He didn't even think about it, if a real Han Dynasty bronze mirror, could it be so cheap?If you want to be greedy for petty gains, you should be prepared to be cheated.
Lin Ying stood aside, her eyes couldn't help but look at the bronze mirror.It was found that it was a typical Han Dynasty "Lace Four Breasts Eight Gods Mirror".This bronze mirror is round, with a round button and a persimmon pedicle pattern button seat. The patterns on the back are extremely complex and beautiful.Looking at the back of the mirror like this, it is smooth and flawless, with exquisite decorations, top-notch templates, and excellent appearance.It is very rare that it has been preserved so perfectly after thousands of years.
Lin Ying looked again at the buyer who was still arguing with the seller. At this time, more and more people gathered around, but few sympathized with the buyer.Anyone who has been in this industry for a long time knows the rules of this industry.
To Lin Ying, [-] yuan is really nothing, and her heart softened, even if it was a fake, she should buy it back and play with it, anyway, it looks pretty good. "Uncle, can you show me your mirror?"
Lin Ying interrupted suddenly so that the two people who were arguing finally stopped.And the buyer nodded quickly after being taken aback, and handed the mirror to Lin Ying.
Lin Ying's hand that took the mirror trembled, and she almost lost her grip on the mirror.The main reason was that she was not in the mood to prepare for the heat coming from the palm of her hand. Lin Ying was surprised and also amused by the buyer.
"This mirror looks beautiful. Uncle, do you really want to return it? You know it's worth 1 yuan to buy a bronze mirror." Lin Ying wanted to help the buyer one last time. If he listened to his advice Advise him to keep this mirror, then he will be lucky.
"Refund, I must refund! The 1 yuan is worth my three months' salary. How can such a broken mirror be worth 1 yuan!" Advised.
"Then boss, are you really not going to return this uncle?"
"This line
