The Book of Appreciation

Song Hongyan arranged the raw materials, and cut the knife through the crack. Soon, the watermelon was planed in half, and it swelled, swelled!Sure enough, it is a wool that will get stuck, with thin skin, thick meat and a lot of water.

The cut surface was washed, unfortunately, the cracks penetrated a little deep, only the center was about the size of an egg, but the seed water reached the ice seed, and it was yellow poplar green, which was worth the fare.

Song Hongyan is also very good at diagnosing stones. He took out the emerald in about half an hour and gave it to Wu Di. Wu Di smiled and said:

"Whoever solves it belongs to him. Let's go. It seems that there are many good products in this market."

Song Hongyan knew that Wu Di was a rich man, so he didn't bother with him, so he put the jade in his pocket with a smile,

"Hehe, you are bribing in public, but I like it! You can go to work with me later!"

"Brother, are you poaching my corner? I also have an auction company!"

"Brother? Linlin, it seems that some people should call me uncle, right?"

"Damn it! Different opinions!"

Wu Di raised his head and glanced at the crowd, seeing that Xiao Baihua was really gone, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.Immediately, I calmed down again, seeing each other again by chance, now it is better to gamble a few more bucks.

Chang Linlin put the hibiscus seed that Zhongqi took out in her pocket, Song Hongyan carried the ice seed, Fatty Qian recovered the cost, Luo Quan was a companion, where is Wu Di?This guy's ice seeds are still in the police station!Besides, what do you care about this kid?With his hand, the whole thing can be turned into gold!Are you afraid that there will be no emeralds?Think of it this way, Belle Alexander.

Afterwards, Zhongqi made repeated moves, and finally, after chopping four pieces in a row, he unscrambled an egg-sized golden silk seed, and Le's mouth couldn't close.The fat man also shot once and collapsed.Song Hongyan took a fancy to a big guy and asked Wu Di for advice.Wu Di went up and asked his brother Stone, and came back and said:

"Stone said, it has nothing in its stomach, but the little one next to it is always mysterious, and seems to have a problem."

"real or fake?"

Song Hongyan suspiciously picked up a piece of yellow sand that was the size of Chengren's fist on the ground, took out a thousand dollars, and started to dissect the stone with the grinding wheel.

The cortex is very thin, the inside is almost full of jadeite, and the seed water is not bad. There are obvious yellow-green stripes arranged in parallel in the shallow bottom, and the transparency is almost ice-like. It is the standard golden-thread jade.

Even the way the boss looked at Wu Di changed.

"Brother, can this stone really talk?"

"Damn, you also believe this?"

Zhong Qi thought of the dispute that seemed to be caused by this guy's "Stone Talking Theory" yesterday, and saw that Wu Di's choice of wool was indeed different from others, and he couldn't help being full of doubts.

"Why don't we find an empty place and let's try?"

Chang Linlin smiled and said:

"Haha, I also heard the stone talking. This little guy reported that there is something wrong with the two guys next to it. Zhongqi, catch them and chop them up!"

Wu Di secretly laughed, some people are going to be unable to sleep now, there is really something wrong with those two stones, one of them has a small waxy seed in its stomach, enough to make a couple pendant.

The results of the stone analysis really made people suspicious, Chang Linlin raised her eyebrows at Wu Di, put the jade into the palm of Zhongqi, and gave the task:

"Remember to find someone to carve when you go back, one for you, one for me, and mine is bigger."

"Why is yours bigger?"

"My pleasure!"

"..."

The stone gambling in the morning ended in a disastrous failure in Zhongqi. The plan in the afternoon was to visit the nearby antique street, so I chose to have a meal nearby.

Facts have proved that the dishes in many small restaurants are no worse than those in big hotels, and everyone who has been excited all morning is indeed hungry, and everyone eats to their heart's content.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Song Hongyan mentioned that Master's birthday was at the end of August.Wu Di suddenly remembered that he could go with the Zhong family, but now, as the teacher's closed disciple, it seems that he should prepare gifts specially.But, is there enough time?He doesn't have any good things in his hands now, even if Ruili can bet on a good stone, he probably won't have time to carve it.what to do?Is it by picking up leaks?Thinking of picking up leaks, Wu Di's blood boiled all over his body. The feeling of secretly harvesting and enjoying himself is addictive!

Wu Di is looking forward to the trip to Antique Street in the afternoon. Spring City is far away on the border. Although the history and culture are not as prosperous and rich as the hinterland of the Central Plains, there are still many cultural relics and historic sites.Because of the remoteness, the antique market is underdeveloped, and the level of antiques is limited, so many old things can be retained.If you have good eyesight, it is said that there is a much greater chance of picking up leaks here than in other places.

Wu Di expressed his reasons with full expectation, and Song Hongyan laughed loudly:

"Is this what you saw in the forum? Dialectics is really powerful. Remoteness has its advantages, but with the current traffic and collection craze, do you think there will be the last pure land left for you? Hahaha, Xiaowu, I heard that you still have a business background!"

Wu Di scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile:

"Isn't it urgent, the last straw!"

"Xiao Wu, don't worry, even if there is no harvest in the afternoon, let's go back NO.20, and with your luck, we will go around the various antique markets. I don't believe that there will be no harvest. Besides, Grandpa knows that you have worked hard to come and go for his birthday. In the major antique markets, even if there is nothing to gain, he will be very pleased."

Wu Di raised his head,

"I promise with my title of Strong Luck Little Superman, I will definitely get it done before my birthday!"

When they walked out of the restaurant after eating, they passed by a group of people. Wu Di was full of thoughts and didn't pay attention, but Meng Yao in the crowd saw his black face that was pleasing to the eye, touched Wen Lan, and whispered road:

"This place is really evil."

Wen Lan looked up, dumbfounded.

The antique street in Chuncheng was mixed with antique shops and jade shops. After shopping for a while, Chang Linlin lost interest, said "Xiao Wu, I support you spiritually.", and drove back home with Zhong Qi.As for whether it was really sleepy or the light bulbs were too bright, Wu Di and the others could see the clues from the minority silver ornaments hanging around Chang Linlin's neck when they went back at night.

Fatty Qian has no interest in antiques, seeing Zhongqi leave, he also took Luo Quan as a tour guide and went to talk to Shitou.Wu Di and Song Hongyan were left to browse antique shops along the street.

Compared with the jade market, the antique market is more chaotic. Here, counterfeiting, counterfeiting, and counterfeiting have become a norm, so that everyone defaults to an industry rule, and everyone depends on their eyesight.

It is said that Porcelain Square is an old shop specializing in porcelain. Various porcelain shapes from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties can be seen here. Porcelain and pottery from the Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties and even further periods also occupy a large row of showcases.Song Hongyan communicated with Wu Di while watching:

"This is actually the best class for beginners, so many people who learn antiques have the experience of being apprentices in shops. Although these are imitations, they still have some characteristics of the craftsmanship at that time. The most important thing is Yes, it can give you a general idea of ​​China’s thousands of years of ceramic craftsmanship and history. Xiao Wu, you must be prepared to go back to work in an antique shop. The teacher is very strict about this.”

Wu Di nodded, pointed to a treasure moon bottle and said:

"Yeah, if you don't see some real objects, you won't think that a variety will have such rich shapes and colors. You can't learn these things just by reading books and word of mouth."

"That's right, this animal ear gui is somewhat similar to many utensils. If you haven't seen it before, it's easy to steal it. Look, is there one in front of us?"

In front of Wu Di is a row of imitations of various famous porcelain shapes from the Qing Dynasty.Wu Di shuttled his eyes twice, and settled on a square white porcelain vase, which is called a comprehensive vase, with ringed elephant heads on both sides. The body of the vase is painted with landscapes, flowers and birds. Light crimson color.

Wu Di took the porcelain vase in his hand and admired it carefully. First, he looked at the bottom price, but there was no money.The tire is slightly loose, and it seems to have traces of wear.The flowers and birds in the paintings have vivid expressions, mountain-shaped trees, boldness and generosity, coloring with brushes, and elegant style.He looked at it and said:

"Light crimson color landscape flower and bird pattern elephant ear comprehensive bottle, something from the late Qing Dynasty, but whether it is real or not is hard to say."

Song Hongyan nodded, smiled and said nothing, Wu Di looked at it for a while, called the assistant, and asked:

"How much is this thing?"

The guy took a look and said with a smile:

"This is a bottle with elephant ears. The craftsmanship is exquisite. The level of painting looks like everyone's work. The guest officer has a good eye."

"Hehe, it's useless for you to praise me for my good eyesight, and it's useless if you can't negotiate the price."

The buddy rolled his small eyes on the faces of Wu Di and Song Hongyan for a moment, and said with a smile:

"It's not expensive, only fifty thousand."

As soon as Wu Di heard it, he exchanged a knowing look with Song Hongyan. The eye-hand master of this store might have misjudged his eyes.This is the work of Cheng Men, a famous painter of porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty. The full name should be Cheng Men's shallow crimson color landscape flower and bird pattern elephant ear comprehensive bottle. The market value is between 12 and 15. The current asking price is only [-]. Obviously, I didn't recognize it. .

Wu Di put the porcelain bottle back and said with a smile:

"So you don't mean to sell it? Although the item looks old, I'm not sure whether it's from the Republic of China or the modern period. Moreover, it has no designation, and the tire quality is a bit loose, so it's not worth the price."

That guy is also a veteran, and he didn't panic because of Wu Di's statement, and said with a smile:

"To tell you the truth, sir, the painting method of landscapes, flowers and birds on this comprehensive bottle is similar to Chengmen's brushwork in the late Qing Dynasty. Even if it is an imitation, because the imitation is old and imitated, the price will not be low. Guest officer You may wish to pay back the price, I will ask the shopkeeper to see if I can bring you one."

"An imitation is an imitation. No matter how similar the imitation is, it is not real. If you want me to say, [-], I will buy it for fun."

The fellow made a bitter face and said:

"Guest officer, this store has a small business and low profits, so I dare not ask for prices. If you think it's suitable, how about [-]?"

"I'll add another five thousand at most, fifteen thousand."

"[-] is really not enough, we can't even charge more than this price."

"Then we'll just have to take another look."

"Wait a second, I'll let our shopkeeper come over."

An old man in a long gown came over, cupped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile:

"It's a great honor for the two of you to see something from the small shop. I'll tell you the real price of this item. If you two think it's okay, we'll make a deal. If not, you can look at other items. How about it?"

"Okay, give me a quick word from the shopkeeper."

"Buy it now, thirty thousand."

Wu Di hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Old man, just give me some face. How about [-]? This number is auspicious. It's good luck to go to Ruili to gamble on stones in a few days. What do you think?"

The shopkeeper pondered for a moment,

"Twenty-nine thousand will last forever. I wish you two great success in Ruili and a long and lasting business."

"Hahaha, good, deal!"
