Jianbao life

Chapter 885

Seeing this, Chu Chen could only shake his head with a wry smile, and then put away his things.However, he didn't intend to return the things. After all, An Gongshi had expressed his position in this way, and it would be a little unreasonable for him to do that again.

Nothing happened overnight, and early the next morning, everyone went to the restaurant of the hotel to have breakfast, then returned to their respective rooms, took out the antiques that participated in the treasure fight, and prepared to participate in today's exchange meeting.

The venue for the exchange meeting was still in this hotel. After everyone got their things, they followed the guidance of the waiter and came to a small meeting room in the hotel.

The journey was unimpeded, but when they reached the door of the meeting room, the group was politely stopped by the security guards. After they checked everyone's invitation letters and verified that they were correct, they let everyone in.

Don't think that there is only such a security check here. In fact, Chu Chen and the others entered the meeting room so easily because they have been living in the hotel and have been identified. If they are participants outside the hotel, they must You have to go through a careful comparison before you can come in.

Also, it's unlikely that someone would pick up an invitation and try to impersonate it, since it also has photos of attendees on it.Just like Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo wanted to participate in the exchange meeting, they had to go to the organizer to take pictures and process it, otherwise, they would definitely not be able to pass the security check just now.

Walking into the gate, Chu Chen found that the nearly [-]-square-meter conference room had been decorated into a small exhibition hall. In addition to some booths in the middle, there were also some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. Chu Chen took a closer look and found these Chinese paintings It's not actually made by famous ancient masters, but they are all made by famous contemporary masters.

It can also be seen from this that Chai Pingle still cares about this exchange meeting.

Those who can receive invitation letters for this exchange meeting are all elites in the industry. There are not many people who can actually come, but one invitation letter can bring two people, plus the antique industry pays special attention to contacts, or wants to Promote and support their juniors, so some people used up the quota.

This also made Chu Chen think that there should be some deserted situation in the conference room, but some of them were admiring the calligraphy and painting, and some of them gathered together in twos and threes to chat, or discuss some topics about antiques.

However, although there were quite a few people in the meeting room, the old seniors were not present. After asking the staff, I found out that except for some old seniors who did not come, everyone else was appraising the antiques that participated in the treasure fighting session.

After all, there are so many participants at the scene, and they brought a lot of antiques. It would take too long to comment on them all at once, so the old seniors would first sift through the things.

At this time, Uncle Wu said: "Xiaochen, let's register the things first, and then I will take you to meet some seniors and colleagues!"

Of course Chu Chen would not refuse, so everyone went to the registration office first, registered all the antiques that will participate in the treasure fighting session later, and then asked the staff to put them away carefully.

Among the antiques participating in the treasure fight, there are many priceless treasures. Therefore, the staff on site in this link are very cautious and careful. In addition, there are special personnel to track and take pictures of the antiques. The security measures are very strict, and it is basically impossible for them to be lost. Case.

Next, Uncle Wu led Chu Chen and others through a passage to a reception room. In addition to some experts and shopkeepers that Chu Chen met yesterday, there were also several old people in their 60s and [-]s and middle-aged people. People are talking and laughing there.

When everyone saw Uncle Wu and the others coming in, they all stood up and greeted each other with smiles. After exchanging pleasantries, Uncle Wu introduced them to each other.

To be honest, these people are located all over the country. Even if they know each other, it will be rare for Chu Chen to meet them in the future. However, as the old saying goes, many friends have many paths, especially in an industry such as antiques where connections are very important. All the people here are elites. Whether it is for Chu Chen or everyone present, it is beneficial to know each other and be familiar with each other.

After the introduction, everyone started chatting, whether it was the experience of appraising antiques, or some market conditions and gossip, everyone came together one by one.

Although Chu Chen and the others were just listening, they still enjoyed it.

After three or four ten minutes, I saw Chai Pingle walking in from the door with the young man from yesterday.

"Mr. Chai (Boss Chai)..."

Seeing Chai Pingle come in, everyone smiled and said hello, and Chai Pingle also shook hands with everyone to say hello.

After being polite for a while, Chai Pingle smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, Mr. Xu and Mr. Yu are already outside now."

"Oh! It's not too late, let's go now too"

With that said, everyone quickly stood up and walked towards the conference room together.

At this time, the booths in the middle of the meeting room had already placed things, but they were all covered with cloth, and it was impossible to see what they were.
In addition, there were five chairs beside the booth, and there were already five old people sitting on them. Except for Mr. Xu, Mr. Yu and an old man surnamed Zhou whom I met yesterday, the other two, Chu Chen do not know.

So, Uncle Wu introduced to Chu Chen, one is an expert in calligraphy and painting appraisal in Lingnan, surnamed Mao, and the other is an expert in appraising bronze wares in Jin Province, surnamed Wang.

After greeting several old seniors one by one, everyone declined each other and sat down on a circle of sofas, tables and chairs placed around the booth.

After a while of excitement, Chai Pingle, the host, came out and said loudly with a smile on his face: "Thank you all, especially the elderly, for taking time out of their busy schedules to come and participate in this exchange meeting." , here, on behalf of..."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Everyone gave Chai Pingle a lot of face, and after he finished his thank you speech, he gave warm applause.

Chai Pingle waved his hands with a red face, and then said loudly: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense, first of all, let's invite Mr. Yu to unveil the mystery of the first treasure for everyone!"

Yu Lao stood up with a smile, walked to the first booth, and stretched out his hand to remove the cloth on the booth.

"The first piece in the collection is a Qing Kangxi five-color gold-painted butterfly pattern collection plate brought by the treasurer Bao!"

"Ah! It turned out to be a Kangxi multicolored gilt plate with flower and butterfly patterns! And it looks exactly the same as the one in the Forbidden City!"

"It seems that today we can have a feast for our eyes..."

After hearing Yu Lao's words, there was an uproar in the audience. Many people's eyes showed excitement and amazement, while some people seemed a little nervous and disappointed.There is no way, there are only six seats in total, and there are so many people participating in the scene, some people will definitely be squeezed out.

"Treasurer Bao, you have paid a lot of money this time! You actually brought such a treasure here, not to mention being able to get the first place, the top six must be solid!"

"Congratulations! Congratulations!" A fat-looking middle-aged man bowed his hands to the people around him with a smirk on his face.

"Okay, everyone, please come to the stage to appreciate, after the meeting, let's communicate again!" Yu Lao said with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, everyone stood up one after another and came to the stage to appreciate in order.Although there is no time limit, everyone will only watch it for two to three minutes at most, and leave it to the people behind. After all, in such an exchange meeting, you still have to pay attention to your own image.

Although many people brought other people over, there were not many who could accept the invitation, and there were only about 10 people in total. In addition, some people came forward to appreciate it together, and it was Chu Chen's turn to pass. Only [-] minutes.

Chu Chen put on white gloves, walked up to the stage with Uncle Wu, lined up one by one, and picked up a plate to observe.

"Zanpan", also known as "assortment plate" and "whole plate", is a utensil for holding food.Although they both belong to the category of "disc", the originality is only in the word "save".

"Save, gather together." As the name suggests, it is composed of disks that are divided into several pieces. "Zan" also means to move, and it should be a "movable disk" for the disk.Therefore, Zanpan is a whole composed of a number of small pans with equal volume, regular shape, independent but interconnected.

When today's people no longer stop at the pleasure of the tip of the tongue, but have the demand not only for refreshing but also for comfort, in fact, as early as hundreds of years ago in the Ming Dynasty, the ancients had already solved this problem for us. invention.

The biggest advantage of Zanpan lies in its unique decoration effect and display function.In the past, most of the containers appeared individually and independently. They were self-contained and lacked a sense of connection and unity. If there were too many plates, there might be a mess, but the emergence of Cuanpan broke this isolation and embarrassment.

Imagine a number of small plates of the same size that are embedded in each other, filled with various fruits, vegetables and snacks. The fruits and vegetables are colorful, vegetables and meat are interspersed, and the snacks are crispy and soft. The shape is complementary, and the taste is sour and sweet. It's all suitable for salty, spicy and spicy, and finally gathered into a whole, what a pleasing and delicious dish it is?
Moreover, it is very convenient to take and store, and it is clever to display, completely avoiding the embarrassment of messy cups and plates.People only know that the containers are single and independent. Who would have thought that such an ingenious idea would turn into such a shape, which is really pitiful and lovely.

Zanpan began to be made in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, became more popular in the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, and continued to the late Qing Dynasty.The number of platters in a group varies, and the most can reach more than 20.The five-color and three-color pans in Kangxi were more common, and there were many varieties in the Qianlong period.

The set of pans on the booth is made up of twelve large and small pans on the inner and outer layers in a sunflower style.Folded edges, shallow abdomen, flat bottom, circle feet.Inside the plate are five-color paintings of flowers and butterflies, along the surface of the red-colored "卍" character brocade, the gold Tuan Shou character is drawn, and the outer wall of the plate is red-colored with eight auspicious patterns, and the golden seal character "Shou" is drawn.

This plate can be described as unique in shape and rich in color. It is decorated with green, red, purple, yellow, gold and other colors. The one in the collection is basically the same, and at the same time it is preserved very well, which is quite rare, and it can be said to be a very precious work of art.
