Jianbao life

Chapter 1102 Gu Yuexuan's Snuff Bottle

Although the place Chen Liujin introduced was only a family in the village, the owner's craftsmanship is very good. The famous dishes of Jingchu, such as mandarin fish in net clothes, fish cake balls, stewed fish, purse balls, steamed pork, etc., are better than those of some stars. A high-level hotel, let Chu Chen and others experience the saying "the masters are all among the people".

In addition to delicious food, everyone also witnessed what is called a real "rice bucket". The rice that Chen Liujin ate really had to be packed in a bucket. The weight of the rice is roughly estimated. some.This made everyone a little dumbfounded.

"Really happy!"

Chen Liujin patted his stomach, sighed contentedly, and said to the owner of the house: "Brother San, are the meals you prepared ready?"

"It's already ready, but what about your stomach?"

The owner of the house looked at Chen Liujin's stomach, and was somewhat worried. Although Chen Liujin had eaten at his house several times before, he usually only had three catties of rice. It was too scary, he was afraid that Chen Liujin's stomach would burst.

Chen Liujin smiled and waved his hands: "Don't worry, I can eat more, and these are not prepared for me."

"That's fine, it's up to you..."

Holding the prepared meals, the group went out to Lian Youshui's house.

"Xiao Chen, are you preparing these meals for Lian Youshui?" Qiao Qingtai asked.

Chen Liujin smiled triumphantly: "Of course, if we want to impress him, we must be moved with emotion and reason. I found out the dishes I like to eat even with water yesterday, and he is very special. Thrifty, he is usually reluctant to eat these dishes, and he will definitely be moved in a while."

Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "It's up to you, anyway, if there are only these two things today, then I won't give you your share."

"Leave it to me!" Chen Liujin patted his chest and made a promise: "We will do this for a while, and we will definitely succeed!"

Hearing Chen Liujin's idea, Qiao Qingtai laughed and said, "Don't steal the chicken and lose everything. If you don't succeed, the money will be wasted."

Chen Liujin said confidently, it's okay, it's okay, he won't misjudge someone.It seems that the simplicity and kindness with water are accurate!
Lian Youshui came out and opened the door, and seeing Chu Chen and his party again, he shook his head and said, "I said six catties, I already said that my house has no more antiques, why are you still here?"

Chen Liujin said with a smile: "When I was eating, I thought you were home alone and had no one to cook, so I brought you some, including tamales, fish cake balls...the taste is good, why don't you try it? "

Hearing that they were all dishes that he liked to eat, but he was usually reluctant to cook, he couldn't help swallowing even when there was water. Although he knew the truth about eating people's mouths softly, when he thought that he hadn't heard these delicious dishes for a long time, he I can't help it.

After hesitating for a while, Lianyoushui finally invited everyone into the house. At worst, they would eat the sugar coating and throw the shells back.

After entering the room, Chen Liujin took out all the vegetables, and smelling the tangy aroma, he couldn't help but move his index finger with water.

"Why don't we all eat something together?" Lian Youshui said with a smile, but his eyes couldn't leave the delicious food on the table.

Chen Liujin chuckled and said, "Master, you're welcome, we've already eaten."

Everyone else nodded.

"Then I won't be polite." Lian Youshui chuckled, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat, probably because he hadn't eaten such a delicious food for a long time, so he devoured it at the end. The speed was not as fast as that of Chen Liujin just now. slow.

At the end of the meal, he wanted to lick the plate clean even if there was water. Of course, considering that there were still guests, he couldn't do such a rude thing.

At this time, Chen Liujin said with a smile: "Master, I am really interested in your antiques, and I don't want to look at them for nothing. I will give one hundred yuan to see one, whether I buy it or not."

Speaking of this, he handed cigarettes to Lian You and continued: "Master, think about it, if you show him ten antiques, it will be 1000 yuan. This is a no-cost business. It's a good deal, isn't it?" ?”
Lian Youshui said to me with an expression of displeasure: "I said six catties, you really know how to joke, how can there be as many as ten antiques in my house? Besides, do I have such a black heart?"
Up to now, everyone has seen the hesitation in Lian Youshui's eyes. It is not difficult to understand his thoughts. People in the country are afraid of revealing their wealth. What's more, the villagers have long been jealous of Lian Youshui's antiques. Be wary, you don't want outsiders to know how many antiques you have in your home.

Chen Liujin quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "Hehe, I'm just making an analogy. I don't mean that there are ten antiques in your house. Don't worry."
At this time, Qiao Qingtai continued, "Brother, you can take whatever you want, even one or two. We don't just do business once or twice. You will know who I am when you get familiar with me. Accept me." Let’s continue to cooperate if you don’t agree with me. I’ll still say what Xiao Chen said, I’ll give you a few hundred yuan if you show me a few pieces, and I’ll never break my promise.”
Seeing that Lian Youshui was about to be tempted, Chen Liujin quickly added: "Master, in fact, besides Liujin, I also have a nickname of Tie Zui, why? It's because I keep my mouth shut!"

After hearing this, Even Youshui looked at the others, and everyone said that he would definitely keep his mouth shut.

"Okay, then you..."

"dad……"

Just as Lian Youshui wanted to ask everyone to wait for a while, he heard someone open the door outside. With the sound of address and footsteps, everyone saw a 37-year-old man walking in with an old man. Coincidentally, That old man was actually Qin Jin who was at odds with Qiao Qingtai.

When the two sides met each other, they were both stunned. Then, the man saw the crutch in Lian Youshui's hand. He couldn't help walking up to Lian Youshui, and asked anxiously, "Dad, what's wrong with your leg?"

Lian Youshui waved his hands with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's just a sprained ankle, it's not serious."

"Really?" The man looked disbelieving.

"That goes without saying, why don't I move around for you to see?" Lian Youshui laughed.

"Don't, what if it gets serious?"

The man quickly stopped him, and then complained: "However, even if you sprained your ankle, why didn't you tell me on the phone? I can take care of you!"

Lian Youshui said: "Hehe, it's just a small problem, besides, you don't need to take care of your business?"

Knowing his father's personality, the man also sighed in his heart. He helped Lian Youshui back to his seat, and then asked, "Who are these?"

Lian Youshui quickly introduced the two parties, and finally said that Chen Liujin brought the lunch.

Lian Youshui's son is named Lian Tianzi. From the name, it is not difficult to see that Lian Youshui hopes that his family will prosper.

When Lian Tianzi learned of Chu Chen's name, he was very excited. He was no different than Lian Youshui, who didn't know much about the antique market. He knew that Chu Chen was very famous, so he quickly exchanged polite greetings with Chu Chen. After a while, the mood calmed down a little.

At this time, Qin Jin snorted, and Lian Tianzi immediately realized that there was Qin Jin brought by him at the scene, which made him somewhat embarrassed.

Qin Jin said lightly: "Old man Qiao, the one with the highest price will get it later, how about it?"

Qiao Qingtai said "bad luck" in his heart, he didn't expect to meet Tai Jin, of course, at such a time, he would definitely not shrink back, so he nodded happily in agreement.

Lian Youshui and his son were a little happy when they saw that they knew each other at first, but then they saw that they didn't seem to be dealing with each other, which made them a little worried that nothing would happen in a while.However, the result is good for the time being, because Qin Jin has made a proposal that is particularly beneficial to them.

Next, Lian Tianzi helped Lian Youshui back to the room to get something, while Qin Jin snorted at Qiao Qingtai, and then drank boring tea.

Because of Qin Jin's arrival, the atmosphere at the scene was a bit weird, and everyone sat silently. Fortunately, the wait didn't take long, and the father and son came back with three things.

Lianyou put the things on the table, opened the box, and said with a smile, "See if you like it."

Qiao Qingtai and Qin Jin looked at each other, and then each picked up the things in the box in front of them and looked at them, while Chu Chen took out the remaining things in the small box.

This is a painted enamel snuff bottle with a small oblate body, crystal devitrified carcass, a pink crystal cap on the top, and painted flowers, birds, grass and insects all over the body. The painting is exquisite, the colors are beautiful, and the flower patterns are delicate and complicated. , the color is fresh and layered.

Looking at the inscription again, it is bounded by Song style and regular script "Qianlong year system" four-character blue material inscription; there are blue two-layer squares outside the inscription, thick on the outside and thin on the inside, and the four corners of the outer square are folded corners, which is the inscription of Qianlong enamel-colored porcelain Specification.

Seeing the recognition of this special color and the excellent artistry, Chu Chen couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Seeing this, Lian Youshui next to him couldn't help feeling a little worried, and quickly asked, "Curator Chu, is there something wrong with this thing? Probably not, it's a treasure left by my father. If you didn't come here, I won't take it out."

Chu Chen shook his head with a smile: "No problem, but this kind of artifact is relatively rare, I am a little surprised."

Hearing this, both Qiao Qingtai and Qin Jin looked up, and Qiao Qingtai asked curiously, "Director Chu, what's wrong?"

Chu Chen smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's just that it seems to belong to Gu Yuexuan."

"Gu Yuexuan?" Hearing this name, both Qiao Qingtai and Qin Jin couldn't help being taken aback.

"Gu Yuexuan" is actually painted enamel, which began in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It was painted with enamel on the glass body and fired at high temperature.In the past, because of the extremely difficult craftsmanship, only very small utensils, such as snuff bottles and cigarette dishes, were made in the royal kiln.

The reason why "Gu Yuexuan" is praised by people is that it is extremely difficult to fire besides being called a masterpiece among the handicrafts of the Qing Dynasty.

For example, the material body in Chu Chen's hand, because it is glass itself, has a melting point very close to the enamel glaze, so it is difficult to control the heat when firing.During the firing process, if the temperature rises and falls slightly faster, the pot tire may burst.If the furnace temperature is low, the glaze cannot be fully melted, and if the furnace temperature is slightly higher, the tire pot is easy to deform, and its furnace temperature does not have a fixed temperature, which will vary due to the size, size, thickness and thickness of the pot body.

Although there are a lot of modern equipment now, at the last critical moment, it is still experienced masters. Based on their years of experience, it can be seen how difficult it is to fire.

In addition, in the process of firing, only one piece of work can be fired at a time, and to achieve a perfect effect, a layer of glaze should be applied to a work, fired once and repeated several times, sometimes at the end of firing. If it breaks once, the previous efforts will be in vain, so its yield rate is still relatively low.

Because of the high artistic level and rarity, Gu Yuexuan's painting enamel is also very expensive. For example, at an auction held by a domestic company in May 2000, a Gu Yuexuan glass-body painting enamel snuff bottle in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty was sold. It was auctioned at a sky-high price of 5 million yuan, rewriting the auction record for snuff bottles in the Mainland at that time.

Based on these, can Qiao Qingtai and Qin Jin not be surprised?

"Show me now!"

Qiao Qingtai hurriedly asked Chu Chen for something, took it into his hands and observed it carefully, while Qin Jin could only wait anxiously by the side, if he was not worried about something wrong with the snuff bottle, he would have wanted to snatch the things from Qiao Qingtai .

After more than ten minutes, when Qin Jin was getting impatient with waiting, Qiao Qingtai put the things on the table contentedly.

"Hmph!" Qin Jin snorted coldly at Qiao Qingtai, and then took the things in his hand and looked at them with lightning speed...
