Chapter 144 Guangxu Pastel Disc and Personal Letter
"As long as the things are good, I will definitely accept them. Let's sit down and talk slowly, otherwise it will be hard for the old lady to stand." While talking, Xu Yunhan took out two cups and poured a cup of tea for each of them, "Come on, have a cup The tea moistens the throat, let's talk slowly."

"Thank you very much." The young woman thanked quickly, then brought the tea cup to the mouth of the old lady, and said softly, "Grandma, drink some water."

The old lady, who had not made a sound since entering the store, turned her eyes at this moment, saw that the person speaking in front of her opened her mouth slightly, took a sip of tea by the woman's hand, then closed her mouth and stayed silently. sitting.

"I'm sorry, because something happened at home recently, grandma was stimulated, so she is still in a daze and doesn't care much about people."

Shao Yuqin looked at her grandma worriedly, and then explained to Xu Yunhan that her grandma has been silent, and others will definitely be confused, so it's better for her to make it clear first.

"It's okay, let the old lady sit and rest for a while. What are you selling?" Xu Yunhan asked.

Shao Yuqin put down a sports backpack on her back, took out a bunch of old newspapers from it, put it on the table, and opened it.

"This is it."

There were two things in that ball of old newspapers, the same was a thread-bound book of some worn-out ancient books, and the other was a pastel disc.

Xu Yunhan first picked up the famille rose dish, and it was slightly warm, so there were no abnormalities, but it also showed that this famille rose porcelain dish should be from the Qing Dynasty.

This dish is made of porcelain, with an open mouth and a shallow ring foot. The carcass is white, solid and delicate.

Inside the dish are painted four bouquets of peony flowers, patterns of longevity characters, four patterns of longevity belts, patterns of coins, and patterns of bats. In the center of the dish are blooming peach blossoms and a birthday peach, with a bat on top, implying: flowers bloom and wealth, promotion and wealth, and good luck and longevity. ,Opportunity Knocks.

The decoration on the plate is extremely exquisite in painting skills and exquisite in brushwork, which can be described as meticulous.The edge of the dish is painted with gold powder, and the outside of the dish is white glazed plain surface, which means cleanliness and integrity. It is in sharp contrast with the complicated decoration on the inside, and it sets off and relies on each other.

The book at the bottom of the dish: "Great Qing Guangxu Annual System", six-character regular script, neat and elegant.This famille rose dish is complicated in overall craftsmanship and well-made, and it looks resplendent, elegant and rich. From this point of view, it is a typical famille rose porcelain of Guangxu official kiln in Qing Dynasty. It is a display thing and is relatively rare in the world.

Nodding secretly in her heart, Xu Yunhan put down the pastel dish without saying anything, went to fetch a pair of gloves and put them on before picking up the tattered-looking book.Recently, following Uncle Xu, she has also learned a lot. For example, she can now know which objects must be worn with gloves before handling, and which objects do not need to be so concerned.

It's a pity that this book, which looks like an ancient book, didn't make her feel a little bit of heat. It's obviously less than a hundred years old.Although she already knew that this book was not an old item, Xu Yunhan still read it carefully. Uncle Xu taught her that the antique industry can learn a lot not only from real antiques, but also from those imitations.

This book has a khaki-yellow hard cover, and in the middle of the book cover are written four words in a strong thin gold script: Notes.The handwriting is thin and strong, until it is thin without losing its flesh. At the turning point, you can clearly see the traces of running Teton such as Tibetan front and exposed front.

Because of this first-class calligraphy skills, Xu Yunhan was even more interested in this book.Opening the pages of the book and flipping through it, it seems that this is a book, not a book, but a personal notebook.

The entire book was written by the same person, all written in thin gold script, and the traditional characters arranged vertically are all ancient Chinese sentences.Xu Yunhan looked dizzy and just glanced at it casually. The content of the book should be what the author of this book encountered, thought and felt during the writing period.

This is a very interesting book, Xu Yunhan thought, why don't we buy it together and read it in our free time, thinking so, but still put the letter back on the table with a calm expression,
"Are you going to sell both of these?"

Shao Yuqin nodded, "Well, they are all for sale. Now the family is in urgent need of money, so I sold them."

"Then how much do you plan to sell?" After staying in this industry for a long time, Xu Yunhan, like most people in the industry, has no interest in inquiring about the so-called stories in detail.

Or even if you heard it, you probably wouldn't take it seriously, just take it as a story.

Hearing Xu Yunhan ask how much it is, Shao Yuqin paused, glanced at the two items on the table,

"Two pieces sold together, 30!"

Xu Yunhan smiled when he heard this, took a sip of tea, and pointed to the handwriting, "This handwriting is not an antique, it doesn't have any inscriptions on it, and it's not a celebrity's handwriting. It's best to meet a customer who likes to collect this kind of old books. It can only be sold for a few hundred yuan."

Then, with a flick of the finger, pointing to the pastel dish,
"And this famille rose dish is an old object, something from the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, but it is definitely not worth 30. Miss, you can judge one or two even though I am young. So the two pieces you mentioned I can’t accept this price for 30 together. The most I can offer is 12, which is the price of Guangxu pastel discs on the market. I think you must have been to other stores, and I dare say that the price I gave is the best. Fair."

The usual method of collecting things in antique shops is that if you meet someone who doesn’t know how to sell things, if the things are good, the store will say why the things are worthless, make various criticisms, and then give a price that is much lower than the market price. Price to buy it.

It's not that Xu Yunhan despises this kind of practice. After all, people want to make money in business, but she can't do that to the two people in front of her. She still remembers when this young woman carefully helped her grandma into the store screen.

"Can you give me a little more?" Shao Yuqin asked in a low voice, "15 is okay?" The situation of these two items is indeed the same as what Xu Yunhan judged, and the price she gave is indeed much higher than that of other stores.Since everyone is being honest, Shao Yuqin no longer mentions the asking price of 30 yuan, but still hopes that the price can be higher.

"I'm afraid it won't work. 12 yuan is very suitable. I can't make any money by reselling it at this price now. I can only wait for a buyer who likes it very much or the price will increase in the past few years before I can make a profit." Xu Yunhan insisted 12, although she has a little bit of kindness, she is not a saint, and kindness without bottom line principles will never happen to her.

Shao Yuqin thought about it, and finally agreed to sell it for 12 yuan.

After the deal was negotiated, Xu Yunhan suddenly realized that she only had 2 yuan in Kari, how could there be 12 yuan?

In the end, he ran to the next door to ask for help in embarrassment. Fortunately, Cui Dayong was in the store. After laughing at her for a while, he lent her 12 in cash, and the slightly embarrassing transaction was successfully completed.
