Happy Tycoon

Except for Japanese porcelain, Yang Jing really can't think of any other country's porcelain that shows bright red and green, black and white, or colorful colors on the same piece of porcelain. Characteristics.

Although there is no shortage of colored porcelain such as Tang Sancai and underglaze colored porcelain in Chinese porcelain, the colors in Chinese porcelain are definitely not as colorful as Japanese porcelain.

The most important thing is the shape of the vessel. Although Japanese porcelain was learned from China, a small place is a small place, and the porcelain made lacks a sense of atmosphere. In the eyes of Yang Jing, who is used to seeing the high-quality porcelain made by the Chinese ancestors, the dozen or so Japanese porcelains in front of him reveal a sense of pettiness no matter how they look at them.

However, it is relatively rare to see Japanese porcelain in this era. This is 1982, and it is far from being able to see Japanese porcelain from time to time like in the 21st century of the original time and space. In this era, although the relationship between Japan and China has been reconciled, Japanese porcelain still rarely appears in China.

So what happened to the dozen or so Japanese porcelains in front of me?

Yang Jing asked the stall owner in Jinling dialect: Boss, can I start?

Yang Jing studied in Jinling for four years, and Jinling speaks fluently, at least if you don't listen carefully, you won't be able to tell that he is a foreigner.

The boss didn't speak all the time, and just nodded slightly at this time.

Seeing this, Yang Jing reached out and picked up a plate with a diameter of about 278 cm and looked at it.

The whole body of the plate is dark blue, but there are some yellow, blue, green, purple and other colors on it. At first glance, it seems that some naughty child has knocked over the palette.

Of course, although these colors are a bit messy, the drawn graphics are quite regular, like flower petals, and a bit like sputtered graphics. Although Yang Jing looked at it for a long time, he couldn't figure out what the graphics on the plate were, but this The graphics feel quite comfortable. .

Almost subconsciously, Yang Jing activated the Appraisal skill, but the answer given by the holy ring made Yang Jing stunned.

Zaixing Kutani, 1880, Abe Bikai.

According to the Japanese way of reading porcelain, burning means porcelain.

Among Japanese porcelain, the most famous one is Kutani ware. Although Kutani ware is not the earliest porcelain fired in Japan, it is the most famous and artistic porcelain in Japan.

The earliest ancient Kutani ware was influenced by the dyeing and painting of Arita ware in Kyushu, and at the same time interacted with the porcelain style of the Kaga region in the north. It is said that Toshiji Maeda, the first lord of Daishoji Temple in Kaga, ordered his retainer Saijiro Goto to go up the Daishoji River in the Ming Dynasty to open a kiln in Kutani, a remote village deep in the mountains, and it lasted until the early years of Genroku. In order to distinguish it from the Zaixing Kutani that began at the end of the Bakumatsu, it is generally called Old Kutani Ware.

In other words, Kutani ware is actually divided into two stages. The first stage is from the appearance of Kutani ware until the cessation of the kiln in 1730. The Kutani ware in this period is called ancient Kutani ware, which is the earliest Kutani ware.

Beginning in 1810, Kasuga Shan Kiln was born in Kanazawa, thus entering an era of revival of Kutani porcelain. The Kasuga kiln was popular for its non-wooden style; the Yoshidaya kiln advocated the restoration of the ancient Kutani porcelain style; the Guanben kiln was good at finely painted red colors;

Kutani ware at this stage is called Zaixing Kutani.

And the plate in my hand was actually made in 1880, obviously a Zaixing Kutani ware. Although Yang Jing was a little confused about who this Abe Bihai was, his intuition told Yang Jing that this plate should be a very good old object.

In fact, no matter who fired it, whether it was Japanese porcelain or not, the porcelain in 1880 has been more than one hundred years ago, and it is still an old object with a wide open door.

1880 happened to be the sixth year of Guangxu, and the porcelain fired in this era, even if it was made in a folk kiln, was worth a lot.

Yang Jing put down the plate in his hand calmly, and picked up a teacup. This teacup is similar in color to the plate just now, and it is very likely that it was written by the same person. After identification, sure enough, this teacup also came from Abe Bihai, but it was three years earlier.

And this teacup is still a set, four teacups and a teapot are put together to form a set, and it is well preserved.

In tea culture, one teapot with four teacups means east, west, north, south or spring, summer, autumn and winter, so most tea sets are one teapot with four teacups.

Putting down the teacup, Yang Jing looked at the rest of the porcelain, and found that there were three bowls of different sizes, a bottle that looked like an open bottle, and a bottle that was not much bigger than a garlic mortar with a lid. jars.

There are eleven porcelain wares in total, and Yang Jing worked on them one by one. After appraising them, he found that these Japanese porcelains were all made by the same person.

Yang Jing put down the porcelain in his hand, pointed to a piece of porcelain and asked the boss: Boss, how do you sell these porcelains?

The boss looked at Yang Jing, stretched out two fingers and shook Yang Jing.

This gesture made Yang Jing very puzzled, so he asked cautiously: Twenty?

The boss's eyes widened all of a sudden, and a look of annoyance appeared on his face, and he continued to shake vigorously.

Yang Jing was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that the guess of twenty was wrong, so he whispered, Could it be two yuan?

The boss simply put down his hands and ignored Yang Jing.

Yang Jing also felt a little annoyed, you said that you just set up a stall, and a customer asked the price, so it's fine if you don't talk, and you still play this kind of guessing game!

Who the hell is willing to play this kind of guessing game with you when she wakes up early in the morning!

Yang Jing's heart was slightly ignited, and he stood up, intending not to pay any attention to the silent boss.

Seeing that Yang Jing wanted to leave, the stall owner yelled twice, and stretched out his two hands again, but one hand gestured a one, and the other hand gestured a nine.

It's good that the boss didn't say ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Yang Jing immediately saw that the tongue in the stall owner's mouth was missing a lot.

This terrifying look made Yang Jing tremble all over. He really didn't expect that the silent stall owner in front of him was really dumb.

Seeing the eager look in the boss's eyes, Yang Jing couldn't help but soften his heart, squatted down again, and asked in a low voice: You mean that the total of these eleven pieces of porcelain is one hundred and nine?

This time Yang Jing guessed right, the boss smiled and nodded at the same time.

No wonder people were unhappy just now, they gave 20 to what they asked for 200, and even 20 was not enough, they even offered another 2 yuan, no wonder they were happy.

Yang Jing said, Sorry, I didn't expect you to ask for two hundred yuan just now.

The boss's tongue didn't know how, it was missing a lot, although he couldn't speak, but he could hear, he was not a deaf-mute in the ordinary sense.

He waved his hand, pointed to his mouth, and waved his hand again. The meaning was very clear—it doesn't matter, I can't speak, and it doesn't matter if you guess wrong.

If these eleven pieces of porcelain sell for two hundred, it's really not expensive. Although it is Japanese porcelain, even if it is folk kiln porcelain from the Guangxu period, in this era, eleven pieces are almost the same price.

Yang Jing thought for a while, then pretended to take out money from his bag, secretly opened the storage space, and took out twenty ten-yuan third-set national currency from it.

Here, you don't need one hundred and nineteen. As an apology, I'll give you two hundred yuan. You count it.

The boss clasped his fists and made a bow to Yang Jing, then took the money with a smile and started counting.

After counting the money, the boss took out some old newspapers and a cardboard box, and began to wrap the eleven pieces of porcelain. After wrapping them up, they put them one by one into the cardboard box, and then handed them over to Yang Jing.

The cardboard box looks quite big, but it is not very heavy. After all, there are only eleven pieces of porcelain and some waste newspapers inside.

But walking around the ghost market with a big cardboard box like this is not an easy thing, so Yang Jing found a place where no one was there while it was still dark, and directly threw the cardboard box into the storage space.

After clapping his hands, Yang Jing returned to the street and continued to stroll.

But in the following time, Yang Jing didn't find any good things that could attract him. Except for the dumb stall owner I met just now, most of the stalls here are selling old books.

However, even if it is an old book, there are not any good ancient rare books in it. Instead, there are more books from the Republic of China or even just after liberation. Of course, there are also some fakes among them.

Compared to the ghost market in Panjiayuan that time, the ghost market in Chaotian Palace really disappointed Yang Jing.

In fact, it is no wonder that this situation occurs here. Just like Panjiayuan in Yanjing, there were all kinds of things in the early ghost market, so Panjiayuan can develop into the largest flea market in the country in the future. In the late 1980s, a nationally famous used book market was formed around Chaotian Palace. Although it is only the early 1980s, the rudiments of the second-hand book market have already taken shape, so it is not surprising that the ghost market is naturally dominated by second-hand books.

Walking along Chaotiangong West Street from the south end to the north end, the sky was faintly bright, and some stalls were about to be cleared away, and Yang Jing didn't find any good items, and he was thinking about the ones he had just collected. Those Japanese porcelains didn't bother to go shopping anymore, so they decided to find a place where no one was around, and went straight back to the original time and space.

As a result, when he was looking around for no man's land, his eyes were attracted by a stall owner who was cleaning up his stall.

To be precise, it was not the stall owner who attracted Yang Jing's attention, but a painting scroll that the stall owner was rolling up.
