Jianbao life

Chapter 44 Amazed
Chu Chen said with emotion: "Actually, I can't figure it out. With such a superb craftsmanship, why should he spend so much time on doing old things and doing some legitimate jobs? The money coming in is no slower than this."

When Mr. Liu heard this, he also sighed: "Hey, I don't know what this person thinks. He obviously has such a skill, but he uses it in crooked ways. Our antique world is full of selfish people like this. , it was ruined."

Hearing what Mr. Liu said, everyone felt quite uncomfortable. Now this kind of phenomenon is indeed not uncommon. In recent years, the fraud of antiques has been rampant. Many people only know profit, but they don't know what virtue is.

"Okay, let's just be ourselves now, no matter how much we think about it, we can't change anything. Beibei, don't be sad, it's a common thing in the antique business, even I have done it , It’s not terrible to punch an eye, the key is that you have to learn from it and avoid making such a mistake next time.”

Seeing Li Beibei's mournful face, Mr. Liu comforted her, then smiled and said to Uncle Wu:
"Ziping, how is it? Isn't what Xiao Chu said just now very good? You, if you care about it, you will be chaotic. Young people should let them play freely and trust them. Old people like us only need to be at the critical moment for them. It’s time to close it.”

"Hehe, Mr. Liu, you are right. I have always regarded Chu Chen as my own child, and sometimes I have to worry too much. Now it seems that my old bones will also take a back seat. In the future, Just let him worry about it." After finishing speaking, Uncle Wu had a look of emotion on his face.

After hearing this, Chu Chen said quickly, "Uncle Wu, don't say that, you still have a lot to learn from me."

Mr. Liu waved his hand and interrupted him: "Okay, Xiao Chu, young people's excessive modesty is just pride. In our profession, you won't achieve much if you just teach it. The key is to practice and understand yourself. Your previous performance is quite remarkable, and it's not on your own subject matter, so it's commendable."

Chu Chen felt a little embarrassed when Mr. Liu said that.

But when Li Beibei saw this, she felt very uncomfortable. Why did I buy the wrong thing, but you got such praise from Grandpa Liu? It's disgusting!
Suddenly, when she saw the brocade box that Chu Chen brought, she thought, hey, I want to see what good things you can bring here, and if the things are not good, let's see how I will scold you.

So she pretended to be casual and said: "Ah, brother Xiao Chu, what's in the box you brought? Is it some particularly precious antique? How about we appreciate it?"

Hearing what she said, Chu Chen also knew what she was up to. He didn't really care about this, but her voice of "Little Brother Chu", no matter how he heard it and felt weird, made him feel a chill all over his body.

Seeing this, Mr. Liu jokingly said, "Xiao Chu, what good things did you bring this time? It won't be as far-fetched as Beibei's."

After hearing what Mr. Liu said, Li Beibei said coquettishly: "Grandpa Liu, I don't want you to bury people like this."

Everyone laughed out loud at her appearance, and the whole atmosphere was much more relaxed than before.

Chu Chen put the brocade box on the wooden table, opened the brocade box, and said with a smile: "This is an object I got from stepping on a mine yesterday. I brought it here today. Please appreciate it."

Hearing this, Li Beibei quickly said indignantly: "Hey, I said why are you so rude, and you have the nerve to bring over the objects you got by stepping on mines, and call it 'tasting', you Don't be ashamed!"

"Beibei!"

Seeing that Li Beibei didn't even look at anything, Liu Qinshu scolded Chu Chen like this, and said angrily, "Do you think Xiao Chu would bring it here for my dad to see if it was an ordinary item? Is Xiao Chu so superficial?"

Mr. Liu also jokingly said: "Beibei, you have to change your personality. You are always so rough. Be careful that you won't get married in the future. You can tell if something is good or not. Let's take a look. What good things did Xiao Chu bring?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes turned to the brocade box. Mr. Liu was shocked first, and then his face was full of excitement, while Uncle Wu blinked his eyes, not believing what he saw was true. He was so impressed by his ears and eyes that he also understood what was in the brocade box, and his face was full of surprise.

At this time, no matter how stupid Li Beibei was, she knew that the things in the brocade box were very unusual, and she whispered, "What luck is this person, how can he step on a landmine and still step on a baby!"

At this moment, Mr. Liu came to his senses and excitedly said to Chu Chen, "Xiao Chu, can you let me do it?"

"Old Liu, what you said was brought here today. To be honest, it was for you to appraise it. There is no reason why you should not be allowed to do it."

Hearing Chu Chen's promise, Mr. Liu solemnly took out a pair of gloves, carefully took the Ding kiln large plate into his hand, and confirmed it through careful observation.

Ding kiln is one of the five famous kilns in Song Dynasty in my country. It is a large porcelain kiln system that emerged after the white porcelain of Xing kiln in Tang Dynasty. It is famous for producing white porcelain.Its characteristic is that the fetal soil is delicate, the fetal quality is thin and shiny, the glaze color is pure white and moist, with tear marks on it, and the glaze is white glassy glaze with a little silty quality, so it is called powder ding, also known as white ding.

Ding Kiln is the representative of the Song Dynasty porcelain industry, and is highly respected by the society and later generations. Liu Qi, a man of the Yuan Dynasty, once wrote a poem in "Return to Qian Zhi", saying "Dingzhou's flower porcelain pot is white in color".In the early Ming Dynasty, Cao Zhao also praised in his "Ge Gu Yao Lun": "The soil veins of the ancient Ding kiln are delicate, white and moist are the most precious."

Chu Chen's Ding kiln printing plate is simple in shape and elegant in shape.The tire is fine and thin, showing an ivory-like texture, timeless and tranquil.This plate is open, with a flat bottom, arc walls, ring feet, and a copper mouth along the exposed tire and unglazed part.

White glaze is applied to the whole body, the glaze color is white and yellowish, and the swirl marks left by drawing the billet and the "tear marks"-like drooping glaze left by dipping the glaze can be clearly seen on the outer wall.Ming Dynasty Zhang Yingwen said in "Secret Collection of the Qing Dynasty": "Ding kiln has two kinds of plain and embossed flowers, and the white one is the right one. It is better to add glaze water like tears on the white bones."

Therefore, it can be seen from Zhang Yingwen's words that this Ding kiln plate is a masterpiece among Ding kilns of the Song Dynasty.

Next, there are three lines of string patterns molded on the edge of the inner wall of the plate, the lower part is decorated with the pattern of peony scrolls, and the center of the plate is molded with a circle of consecrated patterns, and the interior is decorated with Pisces and sea waves. In a short time, the posture stretches, which makes people feel happy when they see it.

These peony flower decorations with folded branches molded on the inner wall have graceful and comfortable lines, like the spring breeze blowing willows, full of poetic flavor, and the contour lines of the fretwork printed in it greatly enhance the three-dimensional sense of the decoration.

It can be said that the body, glaze, shape, and decoration of this Ding kiln printing plate are all exquisite, simple and elegant, luxurious and reserved, and it can be sure that it is a representative work of Ding kiln in the Song Dynasty.

What's more commendable is that after almost a thousand years, this plate is still very well preserved, almost without any flaws, which is really rare, which also increases its artistic appreciation value and collection value.

Mr. Liu was watching, and everyone was a little idle, but Uncle Wu suddenly thought of something, and said to Chu Chen angrily: "Stinky boy, since you got such a treasure yesterday, why didn't you bring it over for me to appreciate it? I really hurt you for nothing."

Chu Chen quickly explained: "Uncle Wu, I really didn't mean it. I was drunk with Brother Zhou yesterday, that's why I couldn't go to your house. Think about it, I haven't bought a safe yet. If I wasn't drunk , such a precious thing, how dare you leave it at home overnight."

Uncle Wu thought it was the same, but he still taught him a lesson: "You, next time, don't drink so much wine. Drinking is a mistake. If you accidentally give away something, there will be no place to cry."

Chu Chen nodded his head again and again, while Li Beibei saw him being taught by Uncle Wu, and felt secretly refreshed, thinking, I'm going to make you embarrassed!
After a long time, Mr. Liu put down the magnifying glass in his hand, and carefully put the Ding kiln plate into the brocade box. Seeing this, Uncle Wu couldn't wait to watch it cautiously.

Elder Liu took a long breath and said: "It is indeed a genuine product, and not only a genuine product, but also a fine product. All the characteristics are in line with the characteristics of that era, and what the ancients said can be confirmed one by one."

"What's even more commendable is that this thing is intact, it can be said to be flawless, and I don't know how it was preserved from 1000 years ago. Generally speaking, this is a rare treasure , Xiao Chu, I am now curious about how you got here."

There is nothing to hide about this matter, so Chu Chen simply told what happened yesterday, and after he finished speaking, he smiled and said: "I still find it incredible when I talk about it."

After hearing Chu Chen's experience yesterday, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that the "planted mine" was really pitiful, he really entered Baoshan but returned empty-handed.

Mr. Liu said with a smile: "I think people's fixed thinking is still at work. Whether it's the person who sold it to the liar or the liar himself, they all think this thing is so real, so good, so perfect, and none of them believe that this thing is perfect. It’s the real thing, that’s why it’s for nothing, Xiao Chu.”

At this time, Uncle Wu had finished watching, and he said with a smile: "I see, it's like the old saying of the ancients, treasures are housed by virtuous people, since those who "bury mines" have no virtue, then they are blessed." If you get it, it’s okay to have no blessings.”

When everyone heard that it might be true, they all laughed.

Mr. Liu said with a smile: "Actually, I think Xiao Chu has a good attitude and takes things seriously. If it were you who encountered such a "land mine", apart from being cheated, you would really Do you want to carefully observe the characteristics of this thing?"

Uncle Wu and the others thought about it, and they all shook their heads in unison.
