Jianbao life

Chapter 1062 New Discovery
One of the reasons why people say that Old Ding has a strange personality is that he can only negotiate the price of one item at a time, and after negotiating the price, he must pay immediately, as if he is afraid that the buyer will go back on his word later. Same.

Just like now, there are still a few things that he hasn't looked at, and Old Monster Ding just looks at Chu Chen eagerly, waiting for Chu Chen to pay, which makes Chu Chen very speechless, isn't it just one thousand and two, as for being so nervous?

But after thinking about it again, Chu Chen understood what Old Monster Ding meant by doing this. It was nothing more than thinking that negotiating prices for two or more antiques would lower the price of the less valuable antiques, and sometimes even buy one and get one free.

For example, if one item is worth [-] yuan and the other item is worth [-] yuan, if you buy the two items together, many people will ask you to buy one and get one free.Based on what Old Freak Ding did, it was obvious that this possibility could be greatly reduced.

But then again, it's normal to buy [-] and get [-] free for business. Old Monster Ding refuses to give away [-], which is a bit too stingy. How many people will be willing to do business with him in the long run?At least, if Old Monster Ding is a normal businessman, Chu Chen will definitely not visit him in the future.

In any case, since he was interested in this item, let alone picked it up, even if it was the market price, Chu Chen didn't want to bother with it and paid directly.

While Old Freak Ding was counting the money, Chu Chen said to Jia Yuqiang strangely: "Old Jia, didn't you say you wanted to find a stone statue before? Why don't you want it now?"

Jia Yuqiang was totally unprepared for what Chu Chen said, so he couldn't help but startled, thinking, what does Chu Chen mean by saying that?Could it be that he asked me to buy this stone sculpture, but this statue looks really gray, and I really can't see what it is good for!
Old Monster Ding was startled at first, but before Jia Yuqiang could react, he said with a smile:

"Boss Jia, don't look at this stone statue as inconspicuous, but you can see that the carving skills are very profound. Whether it is the texture of the skin or the dynamics of the clothing, it is quite full. You will definitely not suffer when you take it back. .”

Jia Yuqiang sneered and said: "Return the texture of the skin, your stone statue is not gray, can you see the texture of the skin? Could it be that you still have clairvoyant eyes?"

Old Freak Ding laughed and said, "Isn't it just that the rust is a little bit serious, you can always clean it with more bubbles, and this stone carving is not afraid of soaking. And you can't go wrong with a good carver, right?"

Jia Yuqiang stared at the statue. He didn't feel it just now, and now he doesn't know if it's because Chu Chen said that the more he looked at the statue, the better he felt it. Maybe it was just like what Chu Chen thought. Nice statue.

The current Jia Yuqiang is much smarter than before. Even though he already wanted to buy the statue, he didn't answer right away, otherwise it would be inevitable that Old Monster Ding would ask the lion to open his mouth again.

Seeing Jia Yuqiang's hesitant look, Ding Laoguai said, "Boss Jia, how about it? If you really want it, I can make it cheaper."

"I want two hundred."

"My Boss Jia! You must let me earn some money. Two hundred yuan is too low. You can add more, not much, 500 yuan is enough."

"This is a stone statue, two hundred is enough, I will add another thirty at most..."

In this way, the two bargained for a while, and finally settled for 380 yuan.

Old Monster Ding put the money in his pocket, then opened the other boxes, and saw two seals and two pieces of porcelain in the boxes.

Two of the seals are random seals, and the material used is also Tianhuangshi, and the material looks good.One of the other two pieces of porcelain is a bucket color thin tire cup, and the other is a famille rose flower bowl.

Thinking that he suffered from seals and porcelain, when Jia Yuqiang saw these four things, he couldn't help the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "Old monster Ding, I'm a little curious, since you have These good things, why are you still nesting in this ghost place, you can go to Panjiayuan to open a shop."

Old Freak Ding said with an innocent face: "Boss Jia, I don't own these things alone. I only have a small share. If these are all my own, I would wake up laughing from my dreams."

Jia Yuqiang sneered, his face full of disbelief, but he didn't say anything, but picked up the pastel flower bowl in front of him and looked at it.

The outer wall of this bowl is plain without decoration, and the inside of the bowl is painted with flowers, insects and butterflies.The petals of the peony are plump and colorful, with a slight remnant of the Kangxi double peonies, but they are not blunt at all, but more realistic, as vivid and natural as a breeze blowing open.There are three chrysanthemums embellished below, which is quite fresh and elegant.

In the upper right corner of the pattern, a butterfly smells the fragrance and dances among the flowers. The lines drawn are as thin as gossamer, which vividly depicts the colorful butterfly, showing the hustle and bustle of the season and the vitality of life.In addition, the bowl has a six-character double-line regular script "Yongzheng Year System of the Great Qing Dynasty".

It can be said that this vessel is made of porcelain, beautiful in shape, elegant and beautiful, based on Jia Yuqiang's experience, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a genuine product, which makes him feel a little strange, it is really strange, could it be the real product?If it's the real thing, why didn't Monster Ding call him before, or did Monster Ding get this item only two days ago?
There is some paranoia in Jia Yuqiang's character. If he trusts someone, he will believe it. If he has doubts about someone, he will completely deny that person.Now he has an opinion on Old Freak Ding, even if he didn't find any problems with Chu Chen's previous experience, he still paranoidly thinks that there must be something wrong with this bowl that he can't see.

Chu Chen didn't know what Jia Yuqiang was thinking, otherwise he would definitely have suggested Jia Yuqiang to see a psychiatrist.At this time, he had already authenticated one seal and was carefully observing the other seal.

This is a seal engraved by Fang Xigang, a seal carver, calligrapher and painter in the Qing Dynasty.His landscape paintings are natural and unrestrained, and the flowers have the charm of Yun Shouping, which is very detached.Engraved in the Qin and Han Dynasties, it is as famous as Ding Jing, Huang Yi, and Jiang Ren, and is also known as the Four Great Masters of Xiling.The layout of the printed works changes, the printed text seeks roundness in the square, and seeks freedom in the clumsy, the style is simple, and the style is clear and meaningful.

The seal in Chu Chen's hand is the same as the one just now, similar in shape but not in spirit. Specifically, the charm of the characters is a little worse, not up to the level of the authentic one. The knives used in the seals of the two parties are somewhat similar. He estimated that the two seals should be fakes made by Cai Jianxuan's gang.

Moreover, the two seals also have a characteristic, that is, the material is relatively excellent. Although it is not the top Tian Huangshi, it can be regarded as a fine product in Tian Huangzhong.The material of the seal, together with the knife workmanship, is enough to make it look like the real one. Chu Chen estimates that eight out of ten buyers may be fooled.

"Boss Chu, what do you think of these two seals?" Old Ding asked with a smile.

"It's not that good." Chu Chen shrugged.

Old Monster Ding was startled when he heard the words, and quickly said: "This is the seal carved by two masters from the Eight Family of Xileng. Don't you feel satisfied?"

"I don't think much of a seal with a seal." Chu Chen shook his head.

"Uh..." Old Freak Ding swallowed this sentence, he never expected that Chu Chen would give such a reason.

Old Monster Ding rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Boss Chu, it doesn't matter if you don't like the printed text, you can wear it off yourself then."

Chu Chen sneered: "You treat me like a fool. Of course, if you sell the seal as a material, then I can't think about it."

Old Monster Ding chuckled. What Chu Chen said was obviously impossible, so he turned around and asked Jia Yuqiang, "Boss Jia, are you interested in these two seals?"

"I haven't watched it yet, why are you asking me?" Jia Yuqiang replied angrily.

"What did this guy eat? He is so angry today." Old Freak Ding muttered to himself. He never thought that Jia Yuqiang already knew that the things he bought earlier were wrong, and the reason is very simple. If Jia Yuqiang knew the truth, how could he? If you are so calm, you will have already made a lot of noise.

In fact, the reason why Jia Yuqiang didn't make a fuss at the beginning was because of Chu Chen's repeated reminders. Now, although Jia Yuqiang didn't know whether the pastel bowl in his hand was real or not, since Chu Chen didn't want the pair of seals, he just It meant that there was something wrong with them, which immediately ignited the anger accumulated in his heart, and it would be strange to have a good face.

Seeing that Jia Yuqiang's expression was not right, Chu Chen quickly kicked him and signaled him to be calm with his eyes.

Before this, Chu Chen didn't know the status of Old Monster Ding in Cai Jianxuan's gang, but now that he found the problem with the seal, Old Monster Ding might not be as simple as an ordinary peripheral.

After discovering this clue, of course Chu Chen couldn't let Jia Yuqiang mess up the matter, which is why he gave up the stone statue to Jia Yuqiang just now. The value of the stone statue will not delay Chu Chen's business.

If Jia Yuqiang still wants to settle the score by then, Chu Chen will not introduce some extraordinary means.

Jia Yuqiang felt that he couldn't see the problem with the two pieces of porcelain with his own eyesight, so he asked Chu Chen to look at the bucket cup first.

This Doucai Cup is a piece of porcelain with a thin body, the wall of which is as thin as paper, as if the fetal bone has been taken off, only the white glaze layer is visible, very pleasing to the eye.The inner wall of this cup is plain, and the outside is painted with dragon patterns in fighting colors. The bottom book is "Daming Chenghua Annual System" six-character inscription.However, the form of the dragon pattern and the writing of the inscription are different from Chenghua Doucai.

In addition, the technical requirements of thin-bodied porcelain are extremely demanding, especially the spinning blank is the most difficult. One less knife will make it too thick, and one more knife will make the blank broken and useless.Therefore, although there were occasional firings in various dynasties, there were always deficiencies.Only in the Yonggan period, the bodiless porcelain reached its uncanny workmanship, the fetal wall was as thin as an eggshell, and it was full of light.

Chu Chen judged that this should be a Chenghua Doucai small cup imitated during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.But it was obviously more than that. After careful observation, he found that there were some discrepancies in the details. What's more, the patina of this small cup was the same as that of Jia Yuqiang's pair of vats, and they were both made by the same method. Yes, it's just that the patina of the small cup in front of me looks a little more natural.

"These people's research ability is really too strong." Chu Chen thought with some worry, it has only been a long time, and the improvement of patina has made great progress. Once the researcher has an inspiration, it may not be necessarily the case.

"This kind of thing can't be rushed."

Chu Chen sighed secretly, and then appraised the pastel flower bowl. Surprisingly, he didn't find any problems after seeing it, which made him feel very strange, so he just used the ability at last, The result is indeed genuine.

Thinking that Chu Chen is the God of Wealth, Old Monster Ding saw Chu Chen put the bowl back into the box, and quickly asked with a smile on his face:
"Boss Chu, are you satisfied?"

Chu Chen pointed to the pastel bowl and asked, "How much is this bowl?"

Old Monster Ding stretched out three fingers, chuckled and said, "This is the number."

Chu Chen seemed a little impatient: "Can you be more happy, who knows how much you said!"

"30."

"Bah, 30 more! Why don't you go grab it! It's only [-], let me sell it or not!"

Next, Chu Chen was very resolute, no matter what old monster Ding said, he just wouldn't let go.

Just when Old Monster Ding was hesitating, Jia Yuqiang said that he was not interested in any of these things. This undoubtedly made Old Monster Ding's decision, and agreed to Chu Chen depressedly.

Chu Chen carried [-] cash with him, and the pastel bowl was more than enough, so he immediately handed the cash to Old Monster Ding.

Old Freak Ding counted the money over and over again, until Chu Chen and Chen got very impatient, and then stopped, and he asked expectantly, "Boss Chu, what about this cup?"

Chu Chen spread his hands: "I also have a cup like this at home, do you think I dare to buy it?"

"Uh..." Old Freak Ding was startled, a nervous look flashed in his eyes, and then he said with a smile: "Boss Chu, don't worry, I can guarantee that this cup is genuine. Besides, this kind of small cup is made It’s definitely not just one, maybe it’s a pair with your family’s?”

"Forget it, my money didn't come from the strong wind. I'll come back when I go back and ask the teacher for advice." Chu Chen said with a sneer in his heart, and secretly said, you are leaving soon, even if you promise who will I go to? !

Seeing what Chu Chen said, Old Freak Ding couldn't persuade him anymore, otherwise it would appear that there was something tricky in it, so he could only take the things back regretfully.

Jia Yuqiang stood up and said, "Old Freak Ding, do you have anything else? If not, we will leave. Of course, if you want to invite us to dinner, we are also happy."

Hearing the words "invite us to dinner", Old Freak Ding's expression changed a little, and he jumped the topic after a haha.

Seeing this, Jia Yuqiang sarcastically said a few more words, and then walked out of the shop with Chu Chen.

After the two left, Old Freak Ding put away his things. Seeing that most of the things were still unsold, he sighed. Immediately, he frowned, and suddenly thought of a question. What an idiot actually bought what seemed to be the real thing, so what's going on?
Whether it was a coincidence or deliberate, Old Freak Ding couldn't figure it out for a while. He thought about the performance of Chu Chen and Jia Yuqiang just now, and found that there was nothing strange about it. In the end, he still felt that the possibility of a coincidence was relatively high. ...

After walking a certain distance, before Jia Yuqiang could ask any questions, Chu Chen explained the whole story to Jia Yuqiang, and finally said: "Mr. What a good result."

The reason why Chu Chen told Jia Yuqiang about the matter now was because he didn't want Jia Yuqiang to know the truth and show his flaws when facing Old Freak Ding. Although the possibility is not high, what should be guarded against is still necessary.

Knowing the whole story, Jia Yuqiang stopped complaining that Chu Chen didn't let him take revenge just now, and said with a smile: "Let me, Old Freak Ding, go to jail, it must be more relieved than me simply venting, and you Didn’t you let me buy this statue! However, I really can’t see what the characteristics of this statue are.”

The statue in Jia Yuqiang's hands is full, with a high green bun, ears hanging down his shoulders, eyes slightly closed, and a smile on his lips.Wearing a shawl, with slender fingers, and waving a pipa, she sits on the lotus platform slightly sideways, as if listening attentively, looking solemn and dynamic.

Chu Chen pointed at the statue and explained with a smile: "This is actually a statue of Ji Letian. Although the surface is a bit rusty, you can still see the characteristics of the statue's carving and other aspects. The colorful decorations exposed in the place, I think, this is a painted stone statue of Letian in the middle of Tang Dynasty."

"From the Tang Dynasty?" After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Jia Yuqiang was a little surprised, and then asked, "What about its value?"

Chu Chen replied: "About [-] to [-] yuan. Of course, the current appearance is definitely not worth the price. After you go back, it will be like this, just remove the rust on it."

Firmly keeping Chu Chen's method of removing rust in his mind, Jia Yuqiang thanked him: "Curator Chu, thank you very much."

Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Without you, I wouldn't know about Old Monster Ding. We all get what we need."

"Where, where!" Jia Yuqiang hastily complimented Chu Chen a few more words, just like what Chu Chen thought before, with a statue worth [-] to [-] yuan, it would be too greedy for Jia Yuqiang to complain.

Then, Jia Yuqiang asked curiously: "Curator Chu, may I ask, does the statue of Suan Ni have any knowledge?"

Chu Chen smiled slightly: "Let's go to eat first, and talk about this while eating."

After finishing speaking, the two walked to the car, Zuo Shan quickly got out of the car, and said, "Young Master Chu, I just found out."

"What discovery?" Chu Chen cheered up and asked hastily.

Zuo Shan replied: "Didn't you tell me what Old Monster Ding looks like just now? I found out that not long after you entered, there was a person who was very similar to the Old Monster Ding you mentioned. In the alley, I took a box from a middle-aged man, and the two chatted for a while before he returned from the same way."

"Later, I tracked down the middle-aged man and found that he was driving a Santana, so I called Mr. Liu and reported the situation and license plate number to him."

Chu Chen nodded happily: "Very well, that's what we should do."
