Chapter 286

"Hey, it's Boss Chen. I heard that you want to buy the Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower Cups, right? I happen to have a pair here. Would you like to see the goods..."

It was a stranger who called. Hearing the straight-forward intention of the caller, Chen Ran couldn't help but cheer up, and quickly asked for details.

This person's surname is Dai, and he said that he has a February Magnolia Cup and a March Peach Blossom Cup on hand. If Chen Ran wants it, he can go to him to see the goods, or he can bring something to Chen Ran's place. Sides are fine too.

Chen Ran asked where the other party was, and when he heard that the other party said he was in Yuzhou City, he made an agreement with the other party that he would go directly to see the goods.

Yuzhou City is a county-level city, and its area is Xuchang City in the Central Plains Province. Chen Ran happened to pass through Xuchang when he drove to Zhongdu, so he would just get off the expressway in Xuchang and drive to Yuzhou City.

After making an appointment with the other party to meet in a hotel in Yuzhou, Chen Ran hung up the phone and drove towards Xuchang in high spirits.

Changing the expressway back and forth several times, it took about two hours before Chen Ran arrived at the Xuchang Expressway, got off the expressway, and entered Xuchang City. Chen Ran didn't stop in Xuchang, and went directly to Yuzhou City .

After rushing to Yuzhou City, Chen Ran didn't rush to the hotel to meet Mr. Dai immediately. Instead, he checked the route and went to the antique market in Yuzhou City first.

Yuzhou City is located in the central part of the Central Plains Province and is the central city on the southern edge of the Central Plains urban agglomeration.Yuzhou has a long history and is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. It is known as the first capital of China, the hometown of Dayu culture in China, the hometown of ceramic culture in China, and the capital of Chinese medicinal materials. .

Huaxia is the hometown of porcelain, and Yuzhou is an important birthplace of Huaxia porcelain. It is also known as the "hometown of Chinese ceramic culture". Jun Kiln, one of the five famous kilns, is located in Yuzhou. Its pottery production has a history of more than 1700 years. And Jun porcelain can be called the best of porcelain because of its four characteristics of nobility, magic, wonder and wonder. The magical kiln changes, the colors of lakes and mountains, clouds and mist, humans, animals, flowers, birds, insects and fish, etc., are known as the first of China's "Five Famous Porcelains". Price", "A family with ten thousand crowns is not as good as a piece of Jun porcelain".

Collectors usually run all over the country. Why is this? It’s not for finding good things. If you want to find good things, you have to do this. After all, good things don’t come to your door on their own initiative. I have traveled all over the country, at least every time I go to a place, I have to go to the local antique market first. If there is no opportunity, I have to create an opportunity myself.

Now that Chen Ran has come to Yuzhou City, which is known as the "Hometown of Porcelain Capital of China", he has to go to Yuzhou's antique city to see it. Cultural atmosphere, and the scale of the Yuzhou antique market is many times larger than that of Tianzhong City. Maybe there are more things to open the door. Now that you have passed by, you can't miss it. Of course, there is one more thing, That is, he only has one energy aperture left, and when he was shopping at the antique market, he also accumulated some energy apertures by the way.

The most famous antique market in Yuzhou City is naturally the Shenhou Antique Market, which is said to be called "Panjiayuan in the Central Plains".

After asking for directions, I learned that Huaxia Shenhou Antique City is located in Shenhou Ancient Town, which is the birthplace of Jun Kiln. I heard that it is in Shenhou Ancient Town. Chen Ran became interested and drove over directly.

Shenhou Antique City looks very grand, with blue bricks and red tiles, giving it an antique flavor.

Parking the car at the door, Chen Ran strolled into the antique city. It was just past ten o'clock in the morning, and it was the time when the antique city had the most people. Booths, each filled with their own treasures.

Some people walked slowly, watching while walking; some people surrounded the stalls and started bargaining.Stretching out their fingers and gesticulating, the buyers and sellers are clear in their hearts, but the onlookers become more and more confused.

Very lively but not noisy, this is the characteristic of the antique market.

Chen Ran's time is relatively tight, and he has no goals. He follows the crowd and shuttles in front of each stall. If some stalls are one-shot goods, he will not waste time. When visiting the stalls, I will stop to observe, and absorb some energy apertures by the way. The variety and quantity of antiques here are obviously more than those in Tianzhong City Antique Market, and even much more than Beihuan Antique City in Zhongdu. Along the way, it has absorbed more than 80 circles of energy.

Although the energy aperture absorbed a lot, Chen Ran didn't see anything good. It seems that in the birthplace of Jun Kiln, there is something that opened the door.

As a quickie, he inspected all the stalls in the antique market, but he didn't find anything good. Chen Ran was still a little bit disappointed. Fortunately, he was better than others, at least he had gained some energy aperture. .

"It's a long experience."

Chen Ran shook his head, and squatted down in front of a street stall. He was not trying to comfort himself, he really gained a lot of knowledge. The antique market in front of him is indeed the hometown of porcelain. Porcelain is the most, and there are almost all kinds of porcelain. As for whether it is true or not, I don't know, at least Chen Ran hasn't found it yet.

"Boss, how do you sell these tiles?" The stall that Chen Ran squatted down sold tiles. The long experience he thought of was that these stalls selling tiles were in the antique market in front of him. There are many such stalls, all of which are piled with piles of broken porcelain pieces. There are many types of broken porcelain pieces, even the porcelain pieces from the five famous kilns.

Due to the scarcity of precious porcelain, over the years, the collection of porcelain pieces has gradually attracted attention. Some porcelains do not have original pieces, and the porcelain pieces are even more precious.

For example, the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, the official kilns in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and some special varieties such as Yuan blue and white porcelain are relatively expensive. Good porcelain pieces can be worth tens of thousands or even 10,000+ yuan.

Although Chen Ran knew that the collection of porcelain tiles was very popular now, he had never seen piles of them for sale before this. go home.

"You pick it first. After you pick it, you will be given one yuan according to the size." The stall owner is not much older than Chen Ran, and he is not very talkative. Chen Ran wants to buy his tiles, but his attitude is not very enthusiastic. After speaking, Just sitting there holding a book and reading it, it seems like a nerd.

Chen Ran was not polite, and picked them directly. He didn't use the energy aperture to detect them. From the cross-section of the body and glaze, it can be seen that the firing process of these fragments is not very delicate. They are just ordinary porcelain pieces. Try not to repeat each kind Just pick one piece.

Chen Ran stopped after picking about [-] tiles. After all, the collection value of these tiles is not great, so there is no need to choose so many tiles.

Just when Chen Ran was about to stand up, pay the stall owner and leave, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a tile at the corner of the stall.

This piece of porcelain is blue-yellow, and it should be used by the stall owner to press the red cloth of the stall. If you don't pay attention, you really can't find it.

Chen Ran looked at the other corner of the booth, and found that there was another piece of porcelain pressed with red cloth.

The reason why Chen Ran's gaze was attracted was that when Chen Ran was about to stand up, the tile suddenly reflected light, as if it was reflected by glass.

Chen Ran was a little strange. He raised his head and saw that the stall owner was reading a book with his head down. He took the tile over while the stall owner was not paying attention, and held the tile with his hands. The feeling from his fingertips was very smooth, just Even the cut surface didn't feel sticky, just relying on the feel, Chen Ran felt that this should be a good piece of porcelain.

Chen Ran held the tile in front of his eyes and looked at it. The surface of the tile was bluish-yellow and looked crystal clear... After all, the tile was too small, and Chen Ran couldn't tell what kind of tile it was. What is certain is that the porcelain itself is definitely a rare famous kiln porcelain.

Chen Ran was afraid of attracting the attention of the stall owner, so he didn't look at it much, and directly picked out this piece of porcelain. When the stall owner was not paying attention, he also took the tile that was pressed with the other corner of the red cloth.

I glanced over, but I didn't find such tiles again.

"Boss, that's all. How much does it cost in total?" After Chen Ran continued to pick out two or three tiles, he rubbed his legs and stood up.

Hearing this, the stall owner put down the book, squatted down, and fiddled with the tiles Chen Ran had selected, dividing the larger ones into one piece and the smaller ones into one piece. After checking, he said to Chen Ran: "This The nine big ones cost 30 yuan each, and the six small ones cost 20 yuan each, for a total of 390 yuan.”

"I'll pick two more yuan, and I'll give you 400 yuan." Chen Ran saw that the stall owner didn't ask for the price, and the price he gave was still reasonable, so he didn't make much money.

The stall owner was also straightforward, and he didn't say whether he wanted to choose the big one or the small one, so he agreed with a wave of his hand.

Chen Ran squatted down and picked two more pieces, put them in the bag handed over by the stall owner, took out four hundred bills and handed them to the stall owner.

Leaving this booth, Chen Ran didn't stay any longer. This trip to Shenhou Antique City was worthwhile. Although I don't know what kind of kiln the two porcelain pieces are from, at least I won't lose money. It's a small leak.

As soon as he walked out of Shenhou Antique City, Chen Ran received a call from Mr. Dai, asking when he would arrive in Yuzhou.

Chen Ran greeted the other party, and drove over immediately.
