Jianbao life

Chapter 255 Shocked
Chu Chen picked up the blue-and-white flower-pattern plate on the table, and saw that its mouth was slightly slanted, with curved walls, round feet, and a regular shape. It should be the shape of the blue-and-white official kiln of Qianlong.Turning the plate over, I saw that the bottom of the plate was written in six-character seal script "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty".

Its font is compact and neat, horizontal and vertical, and the blue and white color is rich and deep.Therefore, on the whole, this must be the official money of Qianlong's dynasty.

After confirming the inscription, look at the fetal glaze.I saw that the carcass of this blue and white plate is white and delicate, without impurities, the porcelain is hard, and the degree of porcelain is strong. This is because the firing temperature of the kiln and the refractoriness of the kiln furniture have increased, and the tire wall is slightly thicker than the Yongzheng blue and white.The glaze is bluish-white glaze with lustrous luster.

Then look at the blue and white flowers. The inner wall and outer wall of this plate are painted with blue and white flower patterns.This is in line with the characteristics of "stable, thick, and calm" blue and white flowers in official kilns during the Qianlong period, and depending on the characteristics of the blue and white materials, it should be fired with domestically produced top-quality Zhejiang materials.

Looking at the various characteristics of this blue and white flower plate, Chu Chen determined that it should be a standard official kiln work during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

Boss Zheng saw Chu Chen put the blue and white plate back on the table, and asked with a smile, "Brother Chu, what do you think of my blue and white plate?"

Chu Chen said: "The things are really good, and I like them too. I don't know the price you transferred...?"

When Boss Zheng heard that Chu Chen wanted to buy it, he asked happily, "Brother Chu, I wonder if you only want this plate, or the brush washer just now?"
Chu Chen smiled and said, "It all depends on the price Boss Zheng gives you. If the price is right, I can take both items."

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Boss Zheng was overjoyed. After thinking for a while, he said, "11 dishes, [-] brushes, a total of [-], what do you think?"

When Chu Chen heard the price given by Boss Zheng, he immediately shook his head and said, "Boss Zheng, you are being a little insincere. There will be an auction in June this year, and a pair of blue and white flower plates from the Qianlong period cost only [-]."

"I admit that this brush wash is really good, but even if it goes to the auction, it will cost less than [-] yuan, and even if it goes to the auction, even if the transaction is successful, you still have to pay taxes."

Youdao is asking for prices all over the sky and paying back the money on the ground. Boss Zheng still said with a smile on his face after hearing what Chu Chen said:

"Brother Chu, let's put the brush wash aside first. I agree with the price of the plates you mentioned, but do you think you can buy [-] pairs of blue and white plates of this quality? To tell you the truth, don't tell me. One is worth [-], and I can’t get [-].”

"It's true that you can't buy [-] pairs, but one should be more than enough!" Chu Chen laughed.

Boss Zheng shook his head and said, "Twelve thousand is really too little, brother Chu, please let me earn some money for traveling home."

Chu Chen spread his hands and said, "To be honest, I think [-] is not bad. Let me explain to you, Boss Zheng. Actually, I am also in the antique business."

"This……"

When Boss Zheng heard what Chu Chen said, he couldn't help being stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Chu is still with us, so how about it, I'll give you a real price, two things, ninety-five thousand, how about it?"

"Boss Zheng, I really want it. I'll pay [-], how about it?"

Boss Zheng shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, at least ninety-two thousand!"

"Eighty thousand!"

"Nine thousand!"

"Eight thousand two!"

"..."

Chu Chen insisted: "Eighty-five thousand, that's the price I will pay, Boss Zheng, if you think it's not enough, then forget it!"

Boss Zheng pondered for a long time before smiling wryly: "Come on, these two things are all yours!"

In fact, Boss Zheng's expression at this time is not fake. You must know that he spent 7 yuan to get these two items. Not much, let's say that these two things can be easily earned in Jincheng if you get [-].

Since he could earn five thousand more, why did Boss Zheng sell it to Chu Chen?
In fact, it is very simple to say, when he went to collect things at a villager's house yesterday, he saw that the family had a copper-bodied cloisonné enamel double-ear bottle.This thing can be said to be colorful, magnificent, and exquisite in craftsmanship, which made him fall in love with it immediately when he saw it.

And based on his experience, he felt that this thing should be a genuine product, so he wanted to buy it.The owner didn't say he wouldn't sell it when he arrived, but he refused to let go when it came to [-] yuan, and he didn't have that much money for a while, so he could only give up temporarily with regret.

Of course, it was impossible for him to give up on such a good thing, so he called home to collect money, but the money could not be collected in a short time, even if he did, the bank would have to open tomorrow to send the money.

Therefore, Boss Zheng was worried that the good things would fly away like this, and in a hurry, he didn't care about the five thousand. You must know that if you bought the copper body enamel, even if you sold it immediately, it would more than double it. ...

Because of his occupation, Chu Chen always brought tens of thousands of cash with him. This time he came to Longxi, a province of cultural relics, he brought [-] cash, which happened to be used now, and he was a little thankful for his foresight.

Next, the two paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, but Boss Zheng had an idea when he saw that after Chu Chen paid for the goods, there was at least five thousand left.

So Boss Zheng found another item from his bag, put it on the table, and said to Chu Chen, "Brother Chu, take a look at this, what do you think?"

"Ok?"

What Boss Zheng took out was a milky white goblet, but Chu Chen was taken aback when he saw it at first glance.

Because his eyes told Chu Chen that this thing looked like a new item, but Baojue in his mind told him that this thing was valuable.These two completely different results immediately aroused his curiosity and interest.

Chu Chen took the goblet in his hand with great interest, and immediately felt a jerky feeling in his hand, as if the thing had just come out of the kiln, but when he felt carefully, the goblet seemed old.

Moreover, this thing still looks full of glaze, and even the bottom of the foot does not reveal a bit of fetal quality, so it cannot be judged from the fetal quality, whether this thing is an old thing or not.

Seeing this, Chu Chen thought to himself, is this not porcelain, but jade?But in an instant, he put aside this idea, because he had never seen such a jade like white porcelain, and he didn't think it was stone, because he felt that this thing was lighter than stone.

In addition, when it comes to white porcelain, Chu Chen identified it, but in terms of color, it didn't look like it. Looking back carefully, it seemed to be egg white glaze, which is not too common.

Egg white glaze, also known as "Shufu glaze", is a new color glaze created in the Yuan Dynasty. The symbol of the highest level of modern porcelain.

The words "shu" and "fu" are often written on the egg white glaze kiln, so it is also called "shufu porcelain".There are also utensils with the words "Taixi" or "Fulu" written on them or without inscriptions.Because this kind of porcelain is finely made, has the official name, and the printed cloud and dragon patterns are all five-clawed dragons, it is considered by later generations to be the product of the Yuan Dynasty official kiln.

At the same time, the invention of egg white glaze also laid the foundation for the further development of white porcelain in Ming Dynasty.

The more Chu Chen looked at it, the more he felt that the main thing looked like egg white glaze, but this thing happened to be without money, and the folk kiln couldn't be as vivid and natural as this stemware.Moreover, the shape of this goblet is more like a luminous cup, and a goblet of this shape has never been fired in the egg white glaze of the Yuan Dynasty.

Besides, even with the egg white glaze, Chu Chen couldn't explain the jerky feeling on the surface of the stemware, so he directly used the supernatural power, but in the end he was so scared that he almost dropped the glass on the ground.

Fortunately, Chu Chen's psychological endurance is much stronger now than before, otherwise the shock in his heart may have been shown on his face now.

After finally suppressing the shock in his heart, Chu Chen pretended to be uncertain, shook his head lightly and said, "Boss Zheng, I'm really not prepared for this thing, it looks fake, but it feels real Yes, it really has some research value."

Hearing Chu Chen's tone of voice, Boss Zheng seemed interested in buying this item, and quickly said, "This item is indeed very rare. How about it, Brother Chu, are you interested in this item?"

Of course, Chu Chen couldn't immediately say yes in a hurry. He frowned and looked again, and then said: "Boss Zheng, I am indeed interested, but this thing is too uncertain, and I don't know if it is really an antique. , if you ask too much, forget it.”

Boss Zheng quickly said: "How could that be? How about this number?" He then stretched out three fingers.

Chu Chen immediately refused after hearing the words: "No, it's too expensive, I'll pay up to three hundred!"
Boss Zheng smiled wryly and said, "Don't tell me, brother Chu, the price is not as good as yours, is it? Look how smooth the lines of this stemware are. Although there are no lines, it looks very eye-catching, natural, and modern." But if you can’t do this kind of charm, we can be regarded as acquainted once, and I will offer you a real price, one thousand and five, what do you think?"

Chu Chen said indifferently: "If I didn't think this cup still has some charm, even if it's a little strange, I wouldn't buy it, but your five thousand is too expensive. If it's not an antique, I'll buy it for fifteen thousand It’s a stemware handicraft, so my friend will die laughing! But as you said, we are also acquaintances, so I’ll let it go, five hundred, how about it!”

Seeing Chu Chen's indifferent attitude, Boss Zheng lost his interest in haggling, and said directly, "Hey, I'm afraid of you. It's [-] yuan, so you can take it if you want it!"

Chu Chen pretended to ponder for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine, let's just pay this price! Even if the final result is a handicraft, I won't be too bad."
