Chapter 572 Opera Story Blue and White Porcelain
“Really?” Lao Chai said with a smile: “I’ll beg Mr. Sun later.”
“You are happy, I haven’t settled here yet. "Lao Li, the only one among the three who was still empty-handed, said: "I'll take advantage of it today. How can I find something?"
"Huh?" As he spoke, his thoughtful eyes had already fallen on a stall. The stall was filled with all kinds of blue and white porcelain, and most of them were there. They are all porcelain from the Republic of China and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but a few pieces look a little special.
The carcass is thick and rough, indicating that the carcass is not refined. The most obvious difference from the surrounding blue and white porcelain is that there is a circle of yellow glaze at the edge of the circle, and the pattern is relatively exquisite, and it looks like it at first glance. Opera story.
Two of the best-looking pieces are called "tube bottles." The shape of the bottle has a slightly narrowed mouth, between the column and the bottle. The lines are not very graceful and euphemistic, and the craftsmanship and painting form a sharp contrast.
When you turn the bottom of the bottle over, you can see the roughness of the soil. There is not even a decent bottom. There are a few wild words written in light ink - Jiaxu Chunmeng, Shaogui For use in the hall.
“Tsk, it’s something from a folk kiln in the late Qing Dynasty.” Lao Wang took a look at the bottom note and sneered.
Looking at another bottle, there is also no year number, only one word "ya".
“Boss, how do you sell these two?”
"You can take three hundred for each." The boss said: "You see, this painter is not easy. Even if it is from a private kiln, it is not worse than the painters of the official kilns of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, right?"
"The painter is passable. The blue and white also has layers, but this one really stretches the crotch. There is also a circle of yellow glaze on the edge, which is neither fish nor fowl. Where did you find these items? "
"It was not easy for me to get these things. I found them in a house. Although the bottom price is ink? It's written, but the handwriting is pretty good, um... ...Excellent products from folk kilns, absolutely excellent products.”
“Boss, you are exaggerating. You are the only one who can call this a high-quality product?” Lao Chai opened his box and revealed the two plates inside: “Show it to you. What does it mean to be a fine product? Do you see it? Xiaokang Official Kiln! This is called a fine product!”
With the intention of showing off, he turned the plate over to show the price: “Did you see it? You only dare to bid if you have this. You don’t even have the price, so you are a typical folk kiln. It’s useless no matter how refined you are.”
The boss was so angry that he lost his temper: "Then why don't you pay me a price!"
"I'll take a look." Zhou Zhi simply squatted down: "It's just that the painting is still interesting."< br>
Looking at the items on the stall one by one, Zhou Zhi picked out some porcelain.
Lao Wang and Lao Li looked through it, and most of the things picked out by Zhou Zhi had such ink styles, such as Shaoguitang, Yusitang, Boguzhai, Ya, etc.
The bottoms of several bowls are marked with silver ingots, Fang Sheng, rabbits and other pictures.
That's all. In the end, Zhou Zhi picked out a total of eight pieces of porcelain, the largest of which were two cylinder vases. One of them showed two gods watching the sunrise on the top of a mountain. One of them pointed at the sun and was talking to the other.
This has a name in traditional paintings, called "the rising sun".
There is also a picture of a person sleeping in a study, and then a cloud is drawn from the side of his head, which is connected to another picture of several beauties wandering in the landscape and gardens.
This is another famous drama, an opera called "A Dream of Gaotang".
The remaining things are relatively small, a wildflower from "Nine Elders" and a jade pot and spring vase from "Moon Worship". There are also four bowls. These four bowls are also quite special. They are made of blue and white with green glaze on the outside. Inside, famous opera fragments from "Three Kingdoms" are painted in blue and white, namely "The Peach Orchard" and "The Three Heroes Fight Lu Bu". , "Green Plums Cooking Wine", "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage".
"The price is what you said." Zhou Zhi said calmly: "Six hundred yuan, but I want this much."
"What?" The boss immediately waved his hands: "No, no, no. I can't even get my money back..."
Lao Wang and Lao Li were shocked. Did they find something else? And these things all have common characteristics, indicating that this is a finished product.
But without delay, Lao Wang helped negotiate the price: "This thing was first seen in the late Qing Dynasty, and it was still a folk kiln. I guess you know it in your heart. I didn't stop it just now, and it was my little brother who didn't. Understand the market situation and raise the price.”
"For the eight items here, my little brother only paid 600, and none of them cost less than 100..." The boss said with a bitter face: "You are not buying anything, you are robbing it!"
" You also know that there are eight kinds?" Lao Li said: "Big business! Just tell me how long these things have been here, right? It’s serious to turn them around quickly! I don’t have the chance to tell you this often!”
“Well, little brother, please give me some more. Son, eight hundred, exactly eight pieces, one hundred pieces, make up It's auspicious."
Zhou Zhi was amused: "Isn't it just six hundred if I pay it? Just take a look, the blue and white flowers of the folk kilns are all over the place, if I hadn't noticed. For the sake of being a painter, and because the old man in my family likes drama, I really There is no need to ask for this price."
Seeing that the boss wanted to speak, Zhou Zhi raised his hand to block it: "In this case, I will give you another two hundred, but I will pick three more items from your stall and give them to me. How about these three seniors?”
The boss thought for a moment and pointed to the pile of odds and ends in front of the stall: "Then you can only choose from the small items in front."
Entering this market means competing for eyesight, heartbeat, acting skills, and It's different from being fair when collecting things in the countryside. Once you enter here, you have to accept all the rules of Wanwan by default.
Therefore, there are many stories about making a fortune by relying on one’s eyesight, and there are also many stories about losing one’s fortune through one’s eyesight. This is just when the trend is becoming more and more popular. In a few decades, there will be more such stories.
“They are all small things.” Zhou Zhi picked out three small heart-shaped porcelains with pointed bottoms from the pile of small porcelain dishes and spoons: “These are the three.”
< br>The three small jars are all made of pastel. Because the utensils are small, it is a special test for the painter. The flowers painted on them are magnolia, peach blossoms and tulips, all of which are the breath of spring.
Lao Chai and others each picked up a small can: "What is this? It can't be placed firmly, and the format is weird. The two little ears are on one side, and they are so close."
"That's not the case. It’s called Xiao Er, it’s called Xiao Xi,” Zhou Zhi said with a smile. : "These are three bird food jars, installed in bird cages, to hold bird food and water for birds."
"That's it..." Lao Chai turned over the jars and found that they were his own The biggest blind spot is that it is difficult to date without words or paragraphs.
He turned around and shouted to the boss: "That's it! If we bite again, we'll leave!"
"I didn't say I wouldn't sell it. I agreed to pick three samples and the deal would be done. Ah!” The boss looked aggrieved and said, “Forget about these three small jars, I’ll give them to my little brother for packaging.”
"Pack it!" Lao Chai opened his big wallet, took out eight big green bills and handed them to the boss, and then said to Zhou Zhi: "Now I'm afraid I have to move these to the car first..."
