Jianbao life

Chapter 309 Auction ([-])
However, there were not too many people who were interested in this Yu Ruyi team, including Chu Chen, there were only seven of them.

After Chen Dayou waited for the last person to return to his seat, he said, "This is a Qing Dynasty sapphire carved landscape figure Ruyi. The starting price is [-] yuan, and the price can be increased by no less than [-] each time. The auction starts now!"

As soon as the words fell, someone quoted the price: "[-]!"

"Eighty-five thousand, let me tell you, Lao Lin, can you stop raising the price so aggressively, can you take your time, every time you have you, the final price will always be three or four cents higher, can you correct this problem in the future? "There was a middle-aged man behind that man, who complained while making an offer.

"Eighty-eight thousand! Hehe, Lao Zhou, if you don't like my quotation, don't follow me, so you won't have any troubles!" Lao Lin laughed.

"Ninety thousand! Do you think I'm willing to be behind your ass? If I didn't want to take it down as a birthday present for my father-in-law's [-]th birthday, you think I would be willing to mess around with you?"

"Ninety-two thousand! Old Zhou, I also bought it as a gift, so don't argue with me, can you exchange it for something?"

Lao Zhou blew his beard and stared and said: "Why should I change it! You can't change it? Lao Lin, let me tell you, this is my wife's special confession. If you ruin my good deed, be careful, I will be in a hurry with you! Ninety-five thousand!"

"Oh, Lao Zhou, it's no wonder you're so clinging on today, it's because your wife took care of you! Lao Lin, you have to work hard today! You must get your wife back!" a middle-aged man next to him said. The young man said with a smile.

Seeing that Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe were somewhat puzzled, Wang Xiangong explained with a smile: "The man just now was called Zhou Zhiming, he was very afraid of his wife, and usually took his wife's words as an imperial edict."

"The other old Lin has a good relationship with Zhou Zhiming, but their wives are incompatible. Whenever they meet together, they will be sneering and sarcastic, and they may even yell at each other. Old Lin's wife suffered a big loss, so I guess there will be a good show today."

"Old Zhou, if you don't mention your wonderful wife, I can still let you go. Today I tell you, don't spit out the 1 yuan my wife lost, don't think about it! 11!"

"Damn, Lao Lin, are you serious? 12!"

"12!..."

Seeing that the quotations from both parties were getting higher and higher, Wang Xiangong frowned and said, "These two guys have become really popular. If this continues, it probably won't end."

The expressions of the other people on the scene also began to become dignified. These two people have the character of not bumping into the south wall and not turning back. Originally, he just wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect this to happen, and his expression became anxious.

"I'll pay 16 million!"

At this time, everyone suddenly heard that someone else had quoted a price. When everyone looked back, it was none other than Chu Chen who made the price.

Chu Chen made a bow and said, "I'm ashamed to say that when I was apprenticed to my teacher before, I didn't give my master a decent gift, but because the master didn't allow giving expensive things, I couldn't find a suitable gift for a while. I think Yu Ruyi is just right, and I ask the two big brothers to make it happen!"

In fact, Lao Zhou and Lao Lin are now riding a tiger for the sake of their respective faces. Now that they have the excuse of Chu Chen, of course they agreed to it, and because of Liu Lao's factors, both of them saved their faces. There was also a hint of gratitude in Xiang Chuchen's eyes.

And the other people at the scene, because Chu Chen was able to stand up and resolve the dispute, all smiled kindly at him.

After Chu Chen took back the jade ruyi, Liu Sizhe quickly asked in a low voice, "Brother Chen, is there any loss in the price you quoted?"

Chu Chen smiled and waved his hands: "This price is higher than the market price, but when I traded just now, I was given a 5.00% discount. Not only did I not lose money, but I also made a little profit. Besides, I just said that this thing is If you give it to the master, you don't have to worry about it."

In terms of value, sapphire is far inferior to sheep fat jade and white jade. If this wishful material is replaced with white jade of the same quality, the value may be more than five times higher. However, apart from the price factor, sapphire also has its own characteristics.

Sapphire is generally relatively large in size, fine in texture, warm and moist, and oily. At the same time, some sapphire has very good toughness due to its dense intertwined structure, and is an important raw material for making thin-bodied vessels.

And at the beginning, the usage of sapphire was greater than that of white jade. Until the Han Dynasty, white jade began to be valued, and until now, the price of white jade is several times that of sapphire.

However, due to the depletion of Hetian white jade resources and the continuous expansion of market demand, coupled with the prosperity of culture brought about by the rapid economic growth of our country, the plot of "a gentleman loves jade" among the people has been stimulated, and the number of people collecting Hetian jade has continued to grow. Now sapphire has gradually It was slowly valued by the world, and the price began to rise.

"Brother Chen, are you really planning to give this jade ruyi to my grandfather?" Liu Sizhe asked in surprise.

Chu Chen laughed and said, "I said in front of everyone that I would give it to Master, how could I go back on my word?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Sizhe muttered: "No wonder my grandpa likes you so much, and it also made these people have a good impression, and also won the favor of grandpa. Brother Chen, you are really a fine person!"

Chu Chen casually gave him a brain, and scolded with a smile: "Who is so smart? Am I as scheming as that?"

Liu Sizhe said with a playful smile, "Hey, just kidding!..."
While the two were chatting and laughing, two more items were photographed on stage, a jade comb and a writing brush, which were sold for [-] and [-] respectively.

However, the following lot aroused everyone's interest, and Chu Chen gave a light sigh: "Backflow Pot?"

The backflow pot, also known as the pouring pot and the inverted pot, is a unique type of porcelain, famous all over the world for its ingenious design.

The lid of the backflow jug is a false lid that cannot be opened. When filling the wine, the jug needs to be turned upside down, and the wine is poured through the small hole in the base.When the pot is put in place, the wine injection hole will not leak.The secret is that there are two risers in the jug, one is a small hole that connects the ampulla and the bottom of the jug. Since the upper hole of the ampulla's riser is higher than the highest wine level, when the jug is placed upright, the wine will not leak from the injection hole. .The other water riser is at the spout, and the same principle ensures that the wine does not overflow when the wine is poured.

At present, the earliest discovery is the Yaozhou kiln blue-glazed flower-picking backflow pot in the Song Dynasty. It caused a huge sensation when it was exhibited and was known as "the first pot in China".

"Everyone is right, this pot is the celadon backflow pot of the Yaozhou kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty." Chen Dayou introduced to everyone: "This pot is [-] cm high and looks like a pear as a whole. The upper part is a fake pot with double pedicles. It is a fake and cannot be opened. There are flying phoenix-style handles on the top and one side of the abdomen, and the other side where the phoenix head points is pasted with a molded lioness. The lioness opens her mouth to make a pot, and the lions suck under the belly of the lioness. The shape is vivid and lifelike. "

"A week between the shoulders and abdomen is decorated with milk nail pattern and vertical triangle pattern. The abdomen is engraved with the pattern of twining branches and treasures, and the lower part is engraved with the pattern of upside-down lotus for a week. The carving technique is skilled, the blade is sharp, the lines are lively and smooth, and the layout is suitable. There is a big one at the bottom. The hole is open to the abdomen, it can be poured upside down, and it can be dripped upright. There are ring feet under the abdomen, and it is slightly outward..."

Before Chen Dayou finished speaking, someone interrupted from the audience: "Old Chen, there is something wrong with this thing, why do I think it is exactly the same as the one in the museum?"

Chen Dayou was not angry at the man who interrupted him, and said with a smile: "I said, Lao Quan, can you stop being so impatient, the shape of this thing is indeed similar to the one in the museum, but the one in the museum The height is [-] centimeters, this is only [-] centimeters, and that is just picking flowers, and this is just carved flowers, as for the others, you can go up and see for yourself, the things are really not real, and I can’t guarantee it.”

After Chen Dayou finished speaking, everyone stood up with a whoosh. Those sitting in the front ran up to the stage and watched it, but immediately shook their heads and left the stage.

Next, everyone came to the stage one by one, but most of them seemed to be not very optimistic about the pot, but now it was an auction, and it might be because of suspicion.

Due to time constraints, it was soon Chu Chen's turn. He took the pot in his hand, and first took a quick look at it, only to see that the pot was complete in shape, with a pleasant coating, which was obviously caused by frequent handling.The body of this pot is iron gray, with cosmetic soil applied on the outside, and there are small black iron particles and pores, which is very in line with the characteristics of the Yaozhou kiln at that time.

The enamel is shiny and transparent, the glaze is as green as olive, and the thin part of the glaze is ginger yellow. The back of the utensil is close to the feet and the bottom, and the glaze is missing.There are small plaques caused by some caramel-colored iron oxides at the exposed tires of the glaze leaks.The thin part of the lower part of the glaze outside the body of the vessel reveals some faint light brown, which is due to the high content of iron in the fetal soil.And these are in line with the technological characteristics of the time.

In addition, this pot is decorated with embossed flower carving, which appeared late in the early Song Dynasty, and has reached the highest level in this period, and is known as the "Crown of Song Dynasty Celadon Carved Flowers".

Engraving is also known as "biased knife", that is, first use a knife to carve the outline of the pattern vertically, then use a knife to carve the rest of it, and then remove the ground between the straight and oblique engravings to make the pattern Protruding and convex, less glazing and pouring, it presents a clear pattern, alternate shades and layers, and has a strong three-dimensional effect.

The flower carving technique of this pot is superb, and the flowers on the pot are vividly depicted, swaying and colorful, which is almost the highest level of flower carving in Song Dynasty, which is quite rare.

Finally, Chu Chen tapped on the body of the pot with his finger, and the sound was clear and clear, just like the saying "hit the sound like a clang". At this point, even without the use of supernatural powers, he was already sure that this should be a genuine product, and almost After a hundred years, the appearance is still so complete, it can be said to be a rare treasure.
