The years when I was reborn as a giant in the antique world

Jianzhan is a representative of black porcelain, one of the eight famous porcelains in China, produced in Jian Kiln.

In ancient times, tea drinking cups were called zhan. Jianzhan was used as a tea drinking tool in the Song Dynasty. In addition to drinking tea, it is also suitable for holding and playing in your hands.

The Jianzhan in front of Yunzhou is a narrow-mouthed bowl with a narrow mouth. It has a deep bowl belly, so the young man feels that the shape of the bowl is different from ordinary bowls.

He looked inside the rim through the wiped dust, and he could see the gold inlaid on the rim and the slender rabbit fur-like lines below, fine and dense, showing a silver color, pouring along the rim like moonlight Down, the traces are distinct, belonging to a very rare silver rabbit hair.

The more precious types of Jianzhan include Yaobian, rabbit hair, and oil drop. In addition, there are many varieties such as partridge spot and variegated glaze.Among them, according to the color of the rabbit hair, it is divided into gold, color, silver, silver blue, blue, brown, etc., and the price gap between different colors is very large.

Silver rabbit hair is the best among rabbit hair cups, and pure silver hairs are very rare in Song Dynasty tea cups.

It is no easy task to burn beautiful silver rabbits. It requires extremely precise temperature and atmosphere control and harsh conditions. If you are not careful, the color will be impure, or the length of the vellus hair is short, which cannot reach the thick and slender. degree. ①

At Sotheby's auction house, there was once a Southern Song Dynasty Jianyao Silver Rabbit Hair Beam Cup that sold for a high price of more than 1000 million, which is extremely precious.

As for Yaobian Jianzhan, it is even rarer. It was fired by kiln workers unintentionally. It has great chance and the process cannot be copied.

There are only three complete utensils in the world, all of which are preserved in the country of Japan and are enshrined as national treasures.If you really want to study its value, a Yaobian Tianmu lamp is worth 1500 villas.

When Yun Zhou touched the edge of the mouth, Xiao Yulong opened his mouth unceremoniously, and sucked away more than 50 auras on it, and nearly three rows of silver scales the size of rice grains lit up, shining silver.

It flicked its tail happily, then yawned a little, curled up on the boy's wrist and fell asleep soundly.

At this time, Fan Qi was about to come back, Yun Zhou quickly turned the edge of the mouth that wiped off the dust in one direction, so that it was facing inward, and touched a few other handicrafts casually, making a serious look.

More and more dust appeared in the air, the boy covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and said to Xue Yifan, "I've seen it all, let's go back."

Hong Hai was sitting on a chair and waiting boredly. When he saw the two people coming, he asked without any hope, "How is it?"

Xue Yifan coughed a few times choked by the dust, "I don't have much to gain here."

While Yunzhou took advantage of Fan Qi standing behind him, he winked at Hong Hai from an angle that the other party couldn't see, and made a thumbs up gesture under the cover of his clothes.

Hong Hai understood instantly, sat up straight, lowered his head and played with the jade ring on his finger. In fact, his heart was beating violently, and he was always thinking about how to counter the price.

To deal with this kind of villain who is open to money, he must stabilize his mentality and not ask for too high a price.This kind of person is very smart, the higher the price you give, the less you will sell it. If you let him know that there is a treasure in it, then he will become himself passively.

Yun Zhou shook his head slightly while making gestures, "Boss, I've read everything in it, only two or three old things. I think the age can reach the late Qing Dynasty at most, and the appearance is not bad."

"That's right, what did I say—"

Fan Qi slapped his hands abruptly, and smiled, "Little brother has really good eyesight. I have a lot of treasures in there. If the price is low, I won't sell it!"

"Okay, don't be poor, the objects from the late Qing Dynasty are not worth a lot of money." Hong Hai stood up and stretched, pretending to be impatient, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, these Buddha statues, fans and The things in that house, one kick, [-]."

In fact, when he said the price, he was also a little uneasy, worried that the bid was too low, in case the other party didn't sell it——

"Fifty thousand? Hey, boss, are you joking? This bronze statue from the Ming Dynasty alone is worth more than fifty thousand. It's still the same sentence, if it's less than one hundred thousand, it won't be sold!"

Fan Qi crossed his arms and put on a rascal posture, but actually kept looking at Hong Hai with his small eyes.

Hearing his words, Hong Hai suddenly had a sense of meaning in his heart, and his expression relaxed accordingly.

As for the bronze statues of the Ming Dynasty, they were obviously made by Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. It seems that this guy is just talking nonsense, and actually knows nothing about antiques.

"It's only [-], whether you want to sell it or not. Guys, let's go!" Hong Hai grabbed the fake fur on his body, waved his hand, and was about to walk out the door.

"Hey, boss, don't go." Fan Qi became anxious immediately, and quickly walked a few steps to stand in front of Hong Hai, rolling his eyes, "Why don't you ask that guy to tell you which pieces of porcelain are worth, and I will It’s also good to calculate.”

Now even Yunzhou and Xue Yifan could hear what he meant, heh, what an old fritter, still trying to make a fool of himself.

Hong Hai sneered even more, "I don't have that much free time, should I sell it? If I don't sell it, I'll take it away. There are still many houses to buy in the afternoon, and I don't need you."

"Hey, boss, you can add more, add more, how about [-], you take all these things away."

"It's only fifty thousand, nothing more."

"[-], [-]! It's the lowest price. It's really not easy for the treasure I've saved for several years. Please add more if you do me a favor."

Hong Haili didn't pay any attention, brushed away the other party and was about to leave in a big stride, just as he took one foot, he was grabbed by the fur sleeve, "All right, all right, fifty thousand is fifty thousand. I want cash!"

"No problem." Hong Hai snorted softly, took out five stacks of red bills from his bag, and stacked them neatly on the table. "Count it."

Fan Qi's eyes lit up, he spit on his finger hastily, tore off the seal and started counting the money.From time to time, I took a few of them and went outside to look at the watermarks in the sun, and kissed them twice.

"Let's finish the count, guys take your things and leave." Hong Hai got tired of seeing him like this, and took the lead to leave with the severed Buddha statue. Yun Zhou and his guys went to the room to pack things.

Fan Qi watched for a long time but couldn't figure out who the treasures were, so he reluctantly went back to the living room.

When Yun Zhou and the others left, Fan Qi looked at the neat 5 yuan on the table, grinning all the way to the back of his head.While humming a song, he happily counted again, and he said nonchalantly, "Bah, what a big boss, he's just a mallet!"

He bought these things in the flea market, and spent a total of 3000 yuan.In the past two years, other scavengers came to see it. The highest price was 7000 yuan.

Fan Qi was not willing to sell it at the time, but after the scavengers left, he regretted it so much that his intestines were green, and he couldn't calm down for several days.

But as the old saying goes, people have their own lives.He Fan Qi didn't get it before, didn't he get a bigger sum this time?

When he was young, a fortune teller told him that he was the reincarnation of a lucky star, "If you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future blessing."No, luck comes when it comes.

To say that this big boss is really stupid and has a lot of money. He spent 10 yuan to buy two broken flower pots, and 5 yuan to buy him these thousands of dollars. Hehe, what a big stick!

In his heart, Fan Qi despised Hong Hai, a 'fool' who didn't know anything, but he didn't know that he was the real big 'stick' in the hearts of others.

After going out, Hong Hai and the others moved all their things into the trunk of Wuling X-ray.There are quite a lot of things in this store. There are more than 20 pieces of broken bottles and the like, which need to be packed in two large boxes.

As soon as he put the things down, Hong Hai anxiously asked Yunzhou, "Xiao Zhouzhou, what kind of treasure is it? Quickly take it out and show us!"

He still doesn't know what the so-called boutique is.

"...There was a treasure in that room just now?" Xue Yifan was taken aback when he heard that, didn't he say it was in the late Qing Dynasty.

The teenager smiled and took out a 'bowl'-shaped utensil from the edge of the box, and wiped off the thick layer of dust on the surface with a paper towel, "This is it."

After Hong Hai took the Jianzhan, Xue Yifan approached immediately, and even Xu Ze cast his cold gaze over it.

The Jianzhan in his hand is blue-black in color, feels pressed in the hand, and has a compact iron tire.There is a layer of gold trim on the edge of the mouth, and the color is not obvious because it is stained with a little dirt, and then there are fine lines like rabbit fur, and the lines are natural and agile, clear and clean, and well-organized.

After looking at the sun for a few times, Hong Hai was startled: "Damn it! Is it a rabbit hair lamp from the Southern Song Dynasty, or a silver rabbit hair lamp. This rabbit hair extends all the way to the edge of the mouth, it is long and dense, and there is no unnecessary variegation in color. The silver color is pure, it is the best among rabbit hairs."

His face was full of shock, and his eyes changed when he looked at Yunzhou, "This Southern Song Dynasty Jianyao silver rabbit can be sold for almost 700 million in my father's antique shop."

"Ah, is the price so high?"

Yun Zhou was taken aback for a moment, he only looked at the edge of the mouth at that time, he only knew that it was a relatively rare silver rabbit hair, and he hadn't looked at the specific appearance yet.

Xu Ze stood aside and took a few glances, and added: "It's definitely not low. There is a similar one in the old man's study. It was bought from a private collector in Baodao. It cost 600 million at that time. It was several years ago."

"Oh my God, Xiao Zhouzhou, what kind of eyesight and luck are you? You're really jealous of me—"

Hong Hai gave him a firm hug on his shoulder, gritted his teeth, and said, "You discovered the only two exquisite pieces of official kiln. I just ran here with you today. It's too miserable."

Xu Ze pulled him away with a frown, and Yun Zhou smiled crookedly: "Brother Hai, thanks to your bargaining just now, I must give you some money."

"Don't, if you say this, you will be offended. I am responsible for bargaining."

Hong Hai waved his hands hastily, wiped the inner wall and rim of the Jianzhan with his sleeve, and found that there were a few stains that could not be wiped off, so he couldn't help frowning.

But after thinking about it, "That's right, if it weren't for this, we wouldn't be able to pick out the leak. This Jianzhan was originally black, and it was covered with dust and dirt. It really couldn't be seen, let alone an ignorant person.

Hey, 5 yuan bought a silver rabbit cup worth several million yuan. "

Thinking of the bargain just now, Hong Hai was overjoyed, "Let me tell you, I thought the price was too low at first, but it turned out to be a Buddha statue from the Ming Dynasty. Haha, it was clearly from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. I knew it when I heard it." I'm a layman, so I feel relieved in an instant..."

A few people chatted and laughed and sorted out the things they received in the morning, and put aside the two boxes of modern handicrafts that Fan Qi had collected, and returned them to the waste area before leaving. Whoever picked them up belonged to them. Bar.

**

The country has the advantages of the country, and things are cheap and natural.

There is no hotel or anything like that here, so a few people ordered a bowl of beef noodle soup at the booth.The bowl was half the size of a basin, and the beef was so rotten that it only cost ten yuan for such a large bowl.

Although Xu Ze is a young master, there is nothing wrong with eating small stalls, as long as they are clean and hygienic.

It was just that the face after taking off the mask was so handsome that people around him looked at him one after another, making his brows and eyes more indifferent, and he put on the mask just after eating.

"Young master, let me say that your idol burden is too heavy.

How cool is your outfit, leather jacket and black pants, coupled with a motorcycle, you are so handsome.It's not like me, it's uncomfortable to wear this dress, and I will definitely not wear this next time. "Hong Hai pushed back the fake fur on his shoulders, complaining half-truthfully.

Xu Ze gave him a cold look, "Not cool, bad taste."

Hong Hai: "...cut, I don't believe it, what do you think, Xiao Zhouzhou?"

Yun Zhou pondered: "Actually, we can wear overcoats."

Xue Yifan tugged at his cuffs, "Brother Hai, you can also wear a leather jacket, but this style is true and a bit rusty."

Hong Hai: "...All right, brothers, let's break up now."

Of course they were joking.

Wearing this outfit to shop for goods is still very bluffing, and it is inevitable that the clothes will be dirty when moving things. It is just right to choose this kind of cheap and prestige clothes, and they all agreed at the time.

After resting in the car for half an hour, several people started to walk through the streets to collect the goods.

The first two families basically didn't receive anything. At this time, they came to a clean and elegant room, the tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and there was a faint fragrance of Buddha in the air, which made them feel calm.

A couple in their 70s and [-]s took out a large black box that was locked. It should be hidden under the bed. Just by the color of the box, it has been several years old.

The old lady opened the box with a key, "Boss, do you see if these items are worth anything? This is my grandma's dowry when she was young, and it has been passed down from ancestors."

The old man also added on the side, "Their family is indeed rich in heritage. It has been a serious family of officials for three generations. They have never been willing to take out these treasures before."

Hong Hai raised his eyebrows, noncommittal to these words.

I went to several houses in the morning and said so, making up that the ancestors of the family worked in front of the emperor, and I was the descendant of various ministers, censors, generals, and even the eunuch.

In short, when the story can be heard, don't take it seriously.

However, when the box was opened, Yun Zhou and the others were all startled. I am afraid that this family is really the descendants of official officials.

Presented in front of them was a black lacquered official suitcase inlaid with a hundred treasures and a picture of a baby playing.The copper parts on the box are exquisitely made, basically not decolorized, and are well preserved.

As a kind of small storage device in ancient times, the official leather case is a common object in the homes of high-ranking officials. It can be used not only for men to store books and albums, but also as a dressing box for women to store jewelry. It is very practical.

The treasure chest mentioned in the famous story "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Chest Angrily" is an official suitcase, which contains countless jewelry.

The official leather suitcase in front of Yunzhou was about 35 centimeters high, 25-30 centimeters long and [-] centimeters wide, and the whole body was pitch black.

It uses a variety of precious jade, agate, amber, mother-of-pearl, lapis lazuli, etc. to inlay a picture of a baby playing on the door of the cabinet in the middle of the cabinet door. It describes five children playing in the courtyard. There are bananas, cypresses, etc., and the composition is exquisite.

The top of the box is also inlaid with pictures of flowers and birds with happy eyebrows inlaid with a hundred treasures, and the base is also decorated with various patterns, with a "shou" character in the center, which looks extremely luxurious.

In terms of appreciation and preciousness alone, it can be seen that it is extraordinary, and this is just an appearance.

Several people were amazed by its exquisiteness and complexity. Yun Zhou stroked the snails on it, looking forward to it, "Grandma, can we open it and have a look inside?"

"Of course. We have preserved it very well, as long as you are careful." The old lady had a kind face, and her words carried a gentle and demure temperament.

"Thank you grandma." Yun Zhou squatted on the ground, and slowly pulled the copper ring in the middle with excitement.

"Oh my god, this, this is really beautiful." Xue Yifan couldn't help admiring in a low voice.

Hong Hai squatted on the ground without any image, watching without blinking.

If the baby play pictures and treasure inlays on the outside are gorgeous and exquisite enough, the inside of the cabinet door is even more unique.

The four layers of shining golden drawers are neatly arranged on the left and the bottom, and the right side is a combination of two layers of drawers. The storage space is huge. The whole device is made of mortise and tenon technology, and there is no way to see the connection.

The outside of the drawer is consecrated with the pattern of kidnappers painted with gold-painting techniques, and the interior is decorated with lotus patterns, with graceful and smooth lines.The door of the cupboard is decorated both inside and outside, and the interior is also engraved with flower patterns, painted treasures, bat patterns, etc., implying good luck and happiness. ②

Its craftsmanship is fine, and it is integrated with gold-painted patterns, which is golden and elegant.

Yun Zhou was dazzled by the resplendent inner drawer, he just counted it, and the decoration techniques of this official leather case include: jewel inlay technique, snail spot technique, gold painting technique, etc., which can be described as exquisite workmanship.

In addition, there is one of the most important crafts: lacquer art.

The whole body of this official leather case is pitch black, and the black paint on it has a grease-like luster. It doesn't look like an old object at all, precisely because it is a piece of lacquerware.

Lacquerware refers to utensils made of lacquer coated on the surface of objects. The lacquer used in ancient lacquerware is all natural lacquer.

As the saying goes, "One or two lacquers are cut for a thousand miles", which means that only one or two raw lacquers can be obtained by cutting 100 knives on lacquer trees after walking 1000 miles.

The adhesive used by Yunzhou to stick the porcelain is also this kind of natural lacquer, which is a lot of fake.

The production of lacquerware is known for its cumbersome craftsmanship. There are more than ten kinds of techniques. This piece of lacquerware uses gold-painting and snail-pointing techniques, which test the craftsmanship and fineness. It is a rare boutique.

Xue Yifan took a closer look at the official suitcase, and with the permission of the old lady, lifted the top of the cover upwards. At the same time, a bronze mirror was pulled out from the inside. It stands upright at an angle of about 75 degrees, just enough to see the silhouette of a person.

It can be seen that this is a woman's dressing box.It seems that the official suitcase is also very delicate in terms of practicality.

Yun Zhou did not have much research on lacquerware. After careful observation, Hong Hai roughly judged that this should be a work from the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the price should not be less than 60.

There are not many lacquerware on the market, and such well-preserved ones are even rarer, which has a great appreciation space.

In addition to this exquisite official leather case, there is another piece of lacquerware in the box—a round box with red flower pattern, which is also a treasure for holding jewelry.

This lacquerware uses the "carved lacquer" process. Carving on thick lacquer requires more than a dozen processes such as design, tire making, painting, drawing, carving, and polishing. Each process requires high skills. .

The paint with a thickness of five centimeters needs to be brushed back and forth thousands of times, and it takes more than 1000 days just to paint and dry in the shade, which is more than three years!The paint on this piece is not so thick, but at least it will take several months or even a year and a half. The process is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The cover and vertical wall of this round box are carved with red lacquer patterns. The carvings are ten camellias, five of which are already in full bloom and five of which are just about to bloom.Oval leaves are interspersed among them, covering the front and back, the layout is full and the business is full. ③

The inside of the box is painted with brown lacquer, which is as smooth and bright as a mirror, as translucent as if it had just been fished out of water, giving people a sense of fat and fullness.

From the perspective of craftsmanship and preciousness, the price of this piece is even higher than the previous one.

Yun Zhou's eyes have been admiring these two lacquerwares, and secretly lamenting the delicacy and luxury of ancient people's life.Many crafts have been handed down to the present, or are on the verge of being lost, or have been forgotten by the market, and this fine product can no longer be copied.

Touching the finely carved red lacquer, Hong Hai tentatively asked, "Old lady, why are you selling these two items? It has been handed down from ancestors for three or four hundred years."

These two pieces are enough to be regarded as high-quality goods, and they are all used by the female family members of famous families. The craftsmanship is displayed there, and there is nothing wrong with it.The emeralds, agates, amber and other jade stones on the black lacquer treasures embedded in the official suitcase are enough to see that they are priceless.

Moreover, this old lady has a kind face and soft-spoken voice, she looks like a well-mannered person, she is not the same person as the previous Fan Qi, he doesn't need to deliberately lower the price.

"It's nothing. My wife is getting old and not in good health. Heirlooms are more important than people, right? We just want to raise some money, go to a place with a better environment for the elderly, and live the rest of our lives well." The old lady's voice was still so soft.

"Then your children—" Yun Zhou lowered his eyes slightly after asking, with a slightly annoyed expression on his face, feeling that he shouldn't mention these things.

"It's not what you think." The old lady smiled softly. "They have their own lives and children to raise. The burden is heavy. We don't want to cause trouble for the children."

Hong Hai admired in his heart, "Then old lady, how much do you plan to sell these two items?"

"Well, I don't know anything about this, and I don't know how much to sell it for. But I do the math, the two of us need about two or three million."

"Old lady, at this price...I'm afraid it won't work."

Hong Hai touched the jadeite ring on his hand. The market price of these two pieces of lacquerware is about 50 million.

"Then boss, how much can you give at most?"

"Up to 100 million." Hong Hai also fought hard this time to get a good product, and gave a price that exceeded his bottom line.

"Forget it then." The old man coughed twice, "Old lady, let's not sell it."
