Chapter 100 Innate Skills

"How much did you spend for this bowl?" Mr. Zhu carefully looked at the bowl Su Chen brought.

Su Chen replied honestly: "Three yuan."

"It's worth it, it's really a big leak." Mr. Zhu knew that Su Chen didn't understand this kind of thing at all, so he opened it up and said, "Although when we mention the porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, many people think of Yuan blue and white.

In fact, it is also divided into glaze red, shufu glaze, white glaze, red glaze, blue glaze and other varieties, such as Longquan celadon, white porcelain of Dehua kiln, blue and white porcelain, Chaozhou kiln porcelain, Cizhou kiln, Jun kiln, Huoxian kiln, etc. Wait, this bowl of yours is Shufu glaze, also known as egg white glaze.

It was developed on the basis of JDZ Qingbai glaze in the Song Dynasty. You can see that its color is white and slightly green, devitrified, resembling the color of duck egg shell, so it is called "egg white glaze". It is loved by Changming JDZ kiln for official use.

You can see that there is a symmetrical word "Private Office" printed between the printed flowers on this bowl, which is the egg white glazed porcelain ordered by the Privy Council, a military institution in the Yuan Dynasty, to be fired at JDZ.

The shufu porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty was neatly made, of high quality, and mostly decorated with printing. The motifs of the decorations were usually cloud dragons and twining flower patterns, but because the shufu glaze was an opaque glaze, the decorations were not very clear, and generally could not be seen. , You have to touch it with your hands to feel it.

But for a long time, because there are very few pieces of privy porcelain handed down from generation to generation, we also know about the Yuan Dynasty privy porcelain from the handed down materials and the very few Yuan Dynasty porcelain in the Forbidden City.

Keep it safe, this is one of the few egg white glazes on the market right now, don't touch it in a while, I'll find something to put it on for you. "

Mr. Zhu brought a small box, and put the egg white-glazed Privy porcelain in it.

"Although you don't understand the slightest bit, it's worth the three dollars you spent. This one is worth as much as yours from the Republic of China period."

Su Chen hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for taking the time to clear up the confusion, otherwise I would have used it to cover the pickle jar."

"I'll give you two books, can you take them and study hard?" Old Mr. Zhu said helplessly, "Otherwise, I'm really afraid that you'll bring something back to cover the pickle jar."

Saying that, he took out two books from the bookshelf.

One is "Guide to Antiques" and the other is "Distinguishing Doubts about Antiques".

"Of course, it's impossible to see what's going on when you read a book, but at least when you see something, there are traces to follow." Zhu Lao said: "It won't be like now, the whole person I was dumbfounded, I felt like I had two dollars in my hand, and I bought it when I saw it.”

Su Chen said embarrassedly: "Then thank you Mr. Zhu, I will definitely study hard."

"However, you must also remember that looking at antiques requires long-term edification and sufficient knowledge. These two points cannot be learned just by reading a book."

Mr. Zhu went on to say: "It happens that you are fine, you can take a look at the ones you bought according to the content in the book, scrutinize carefully, practice a few more times, and verify more."

"Boy, I would like to follow your teaching, Mr. Zhu." Su Chen replied honestly, "Mr. Zhu, shall we go out for dinner?"

"No, I have something to do later." Mr. Zhu waved his hand: "I won't keep you."

"Then I'll treat you to dinner when you're free."

Su Chen happily left Banchang Hutong and returned to Sanmiao Street with this bowl.

I don't know if Lao Ma knew the origin of this bowl before, maybe he is so angry now that he is about to smoke?
Anyway, Su Chen bought it with money from the owner's house, three yuan.

If it's an old horse, it probably just wants to go along after moving the pile of coal balls.

Besides, Su Chen didn't snatch it from the old horse.

After carefully putting the bowl into the basement and hiding it, Su Chen felt in a good mood.

Just like winning the lottery.

Coming out of the basement, he was not idle, went out to eat something casually, and continued to work.

Anyway, with money in hand, I went out to buy a lot of things, bought a lot and came back to collect them, and even hired a few workers from the next door to help.

He was busy arranging things here, and Xu Zhi came over again.

As soon as Su Chen opened the door, Xu Zhi mysteriously took out a wine jar: "This is the medicinal wine I got from my buddy's house, two taels a day, it only takes half a month, and you are guaranteed to be alive and well."

"Have you never been beaten by society?" Su Chen said angrily, "Brother is not sick!"

"Yes, yes, you don't look like you are sick?" Xu Zhi had an expression that I understood: "The main thing is to nourish it, just like we occasionally have meat, there is a saying that is 'Lidong nourishes the winter, fills the mouth Empty'?"

"Are you quite free?" Su Chen raised his eyebrows: "I just happen to be too busy alone, so you can help me."

After saying that, let Xu Zhi come into the courtyard.

"Help..." Before Xu Zhi finished speaking, he was startled: "Good guy, what are you doing?"

Because several workers were busy in Su Chen's yard, the inside and outside of the yard were cleaned up, and several shelves were put up.

Hang the night lights he brought from Hong Kong, not the colorful ones, but also the thousand paper cranes that Su Chen folded himself and some other trinkets.

The overall layout does not appear the slightest vulgar, but rather a bit more elegant.

Because Xue Yu prefers elegance, she would definitely not like any exaggerated or unusual things.

"Xue Yu's birthday is today." Su Chen said, "So I'm busy with these things. It just so happens that you're here. If you're not busy, come and help me."

Hearing this, Xu Zhi couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Tall, it's really tall! I have to study hard. If I learn your tricks and half-styles, am I afraid that I won't be a match?"

"To find a partner, the most important thing is three words, bold, careful, thick-skinned." Su Chen said: "Come help me, while I work, I will teach you, and try to get these things done before Xue Yu comes back."

The two began to get busy laying out the layout in the yard.

In addition, Su Chen also built a swing in the yard. Because it is not a one-off, it is made of high-quality materials.

Anyway, he is not bad now whether it is money or industrial tickets.

In order to build this swing, he also drew a special sketch. The pillars of the swing are made of six large logs, which he asked a nearby old carpenter to help him when he came back from Hong Kong. The mortise and tenon structure only needs to be installed.

After working for nearly three hours, the workers installed the swings, took their wages and left directly.

Now in the yard, there is an extra swing, which is not in the open air. This swing has a roof, just like the small pavilion, and it is also nearly [-] cm above the ground. Even if it rains, it is not afraid that the small pavilion will be destroyed. Get wet inside.

There is also a light on it, even if you read a book on the swing at night, there is no problem.

Secondly, there are those little night lights, which turn on as soon as they are plugged in, but it is not dark yet, so I don't know what it looks like.

After finishing all the work, Xu Zhi took out a cigarette and lit it: "If my sister-in-law comes back and sees what you arranged, she will be so touched. Where did you learn all this?"

"Picking up girls is an innate skill of mine." Su Chen said contemptuously, "Do I still need to learn this?"

He pointed to the pile of fireworks in the corner: "Did you see it?"

"Hiss..." Xu Zhi gasped, "My good fellow, this is to illuminate the night sky of the entire capital."

"You help me light the fireworks at night, now come and help connect them..." Su Chen arranged another job.

It's a pity that there is no place in the capital that can make cakes like those in Hong Kong, so tonight I can only make a bowl of longevity noodles for Xue Yu.

He was busy until after five o'clock in the afternoon, when Xu Zhi went out to buy things, Su Chen pushed on his bicycle to pick up Xue Yu.

After arriving at the repair shop, Xu You said, "Hey, Boss Su, are you here?"

"It's weird every day." Su Chen said speechlessly: "It's time to get off work, let's call it a day."

"Today's work is also done, and it's time to go back to dinner after get off work." Xue Yu nodded: "Then let's close the door."

Su Chen took a look at Xu You: "Go to our house for dinner tonight, your brother has already gone over early."

"What day is today?" Xu You was confused, but still nodded: "Okay, then I'll go home and talk to my parents first, and then go to your house for dinner."

After closing the door, Xu You went back to her home first, and Su Chen drove Xue Yu back to Sanmiao Street.

After arriving at the door of the house, as soon as Xue Yu got off the back seat, he rang the bell several times in a row.

"What are you doing ringing the bell at the door of your house?" Xue Yu was a little puzzled, walked up the steps, and found that the door was unlocked, so he stretched out his hand and pushed the door open...
