Chapter 772 Nuclei Carved Arhat Bracelet (Continued)

In fact, Nan Nan had already guessed Chu Chen's answer when he just uttered the words, and if it was him, when he just got such a treasure, he would definitely not be able to transfer it.Even so, when he saw Chu Chen's rejection, the regret in his heart was beyond words.

Next, Nan Nan told Chu Chen unwillingly, let him think about it again, and he can exchange it with corresponding things, but Chu Chen was still unmoved.

Seeing this situation, Nan Nan sighed secretly, and continued to observe the bracelet carefully.The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and the more he looked at it, the more he couldn't put it down. At first, he still looked at this bracelet from the perspective of a businessman, but after carefully appreciating it, he really liked this bracelet.

But thinking of Chu Chen's firm attitude made him a little discouraged.

Finally, after deliberation, Nan Nan decided to get a relatively heavyweight item after gritting her teeth, hoping to replace the bracelet.But unfortunately, a few rare porcelains in his collection were bought by a customer just yesterday, and now he doesn't know if Chu Chen is interested in other antiques.

"Forget it! Let's talk about the remaining two items first..."

When Nan Nancai was thinking hard, Chu Chen also picked up the things that Nan Nancai brought over just now, and began to appreciate them.

Nan Nan had only asked about the categories of Chu Chen’s collection before, so the three collections he brought over were all porcelain, one of which was a carmine pink peony flower pattern bowl from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. The painting and workmanship all reflect Exuding a royal style, after careful appreciation by Chu Chen, he confirmed that it should belong to the high-quality official kiln of the Yongzheng period.

As for the other two pieces, judging from their characteristics, they should both be works of the Longquan Kiln in the Yuan Dynasty.

One is a string-shaped vase, which has a rolled mouth and a long neck, resembling a bamboo knot, with a garlic-headed belly and slightly skimmed round feet.The lower part of the neck and the upper part of the abdomen are respectively two and three string lines.The whole body is decorated with powder blue glaze, the glaze color is soft and elegant, as smooth as sapphire, the glaze surface is shiny, the shape is peculiar and natural, and the glaze color is integrated, stable and generous.It highlights Longquan's theme of "beautiful and dignified shapes are produced to reflect the glaze".

Chu Chen confirmed that this bottle should be genuine.

The other one is a celadon-glazed pomegranate statue with tangled branches and flowers. This statue has a curled mouth, outwardly turned lips, a long neck with a ring protruding from the center of the neck, a round belly, a retracted lower abdomen, and round feet. It looks like a pomegranate. name.

The body of this vessel is decorated with carving, scratching and pasting techniques, and the edge of the mouth is bounded by string patterns, with milk sticks, flowers and grass kidnappers, and triangular brocade patterns for a week.There are ganoderma lucidum and curly grass patterns on the neck, brocade ball pattern on the shoulders, and four groups of large-leaf peonies in relief on the abdomen, with the veins as leaf veins, and a week of slender lotus petal patterns engraved near the feet.

The carcass of this vessel is thick and the glaze color looks green and clear. Judging from the characteristics reflected, it should be a typical work of the Yuan Dynasty.

The shape of this pomegranate statue is quite rare, and Chu Chen has only seen a similar utensil in the Forbidden City before. From this point of view, we can know that it is rare, and its value is even higher than the two items of Chu Chen. Even higher.

But after careful observation, Chu Chen found that there was something wrong with this Pomegranate Zun, and he finally used his supernatural power, and the result confirmed his judgment.This made him secretly think it's a pity, if such an exquisite Longquan kiln pomegranate statue is genuine, he would exchange it even for a little money.

Chu Chen put the pomegranate Zunxin back in his hand, and Nan Nancai also appraised all of Chu Chen's things, and he sighed: "Mr. Chu, your things can be said to be rare treasures. The utensils can be auctioned, and they will definitely fetch a high price."

Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "I don't dare to be that, but boss, your stuff is also very good."

Nan Nan reckoned that he wanted to change to Chu Chen's bracelet, so he smiled and said:

"I can't say that. Although my things are not bad, it took a long time to get them. It's not like your sharp eyes. You bought these treasures in one morning. I don't know if I can ask, Which antique shop did you buy these things from? Maybe the rest of you are already boutiques in my eyes!"

Chu Chen replied with a smile: "Boss Nan, you are really too generous, but we really haven't been to an antique store this morning."
Nan Nan was stunned when he heard what Chu Chen said. He said in a daze, "Mr. Chu, do you mean that you bought these things at the stall?"

"Not all!" Chu Chen shook his head slightly, and he didn't say much about it. After all, things like picking up leaks really attracted hatred, and he didn't want Nan Nan to be envious.

Nan Nancai's answer was somewhat relieved. If these things were bought at the stalls, it would be too amazing. He will not talk about the chances of seeing these treasures at the stalls, but just talk about the price He has been in business for so many years and understands that the prices of things on the stalls are generally not too expensive.

And no matter how expensive it is, based on Chu Chen's experience, compared with the price of things in his store, it must be considered a miss.Of course, he didn't expect that Chu Chen didn't even spend more than 150 euros for the bronze box just now. If he knew, he would probably be very depressed.

"That's not right!"

At this time, Nan Nan suddenly thought of a question. Chu Chen just said that he had never been to an antique shop. Now he asked him if he got them all from the stalls. He said not all of them. contradictory?

"Mr. Chu, you seemed to say that you haven't been to an antique shop today, have you?"

"That's what happened..." Chu Chen knew that Nan Nan would ask such a question, so he explained what happened.

Generally in the flea market, there will be some barter transactions.During their shopping in the morning, Chu Chen and Wu Ke came across such a stall, where the items could not only be bought with money, but also bartered.Of course, the items used for exchange or the price of the transaction must be accepted by the seller.

The things on this booth are all exquisite handicrafts, such as some small hair clips, cute bracelets, gorgeous necklaces, etc., which are very popular with many women including Wu Ke.After some selection, Wu Ke also bought several things.

Just as the two were about to check out and leave, Chu Chen noticed that a middle-aged woman next to them said that she wanted to use her bracelet to exchange the seven or eight items she had picked.

Speaking of this, everyone must have understood that this middle-aged woman's bracelet is exactly the one that Chu Chen got later, with 108 arhats engraved on it.

The seller looked at the bracelet of the middle-aged woman, and said that he could only change five pieces at most, and it would not work if there were too many.

Seeing the middle-aged woman leaving with a displeased face, Chu Chen hurriedly asked Wu Ke to wait for a while, then he chased after her, stopped her, and said that he wanted to see her bracelet.Moreover, he felt lucky that the middle-aged woman could also speak English, which saved him from communicating with her in French, which is still very bad.

The middle-aged woman was wary at first, and asked why Chu Chen was interested in her bracelet.

Chu Chen smiled and moved Wu Ke out, saying that she liked it, but because the money hadn't been paid, he let him come over.

The middle-aged woman also noticed Chu Chen and the others just now, and seeing Chu Chen's white, tender and well-dressed appearance, she shouldn't be a bad person, and she didn't realize that her thing was a precious antique, so she opened the box Let Chu Chen watch.

Chu Chen took out the bracelet to have a look, and found that it was indeed a genuine product, which made him a little excited, and quickly said:

"Ma'am, your bracelet is great. I think my fiancee will like it. How much money do you need to transfer it to me?"

Seeing what Chu Chen said, the middle-aged woman was also very happy, so she said, "Young man, you are quite honest. If you want it, you can pay one hundred euros!"

In fact, the few things she chose just now cost less than one hundred euros in total, but now Chu Chen is looking for ideas, and of course she knows the reason why it is up for grabs, and a slight increase in price is also appropriate.

In this case, of course Chu Chen couldn't agree immediately, so he seemed a little hesitant.

Seeing this situation, the middle-aged woman began to talk about how good her things were. If you were in a big shopping mall, you would not be able to buy them for a hundred euros. The price she is offering now is already very cheap. Don't sell Yun Yun.

Chu Chen was actually just pretending. Seeing what the middle-aged woman said, he agreed to go down the donkey. For a while, both parties were happy.

After hearing what happened, Nan Nan was so envious, thinking, why didn't she encounter such a good thing!

He said enviously: "Mr. Chu, I now know what it means to be lucky!"

Chu Chen smiled slightly, then changed the subject and said, "Boss Difficult, let's talk about the deal!"

"Okay! Okay!" Nan Nan nodded again and again, and then said: "Boss Chu, I am very satisfied with your snuff bottle and rhino horn cup. I don't know about these three items, what do you think?"

Chu Chen didn't directly say that the Longquan kiln was a fake, he pointed to the famille rose bowl and string vase and said, "I'm more satisfied with these two things, but I think the value of these two things should It's lower than mine!"

Nan Nan saw that Chu Chen actually chose the pastel bowl and string pattern bottle, and felt very strange, because he thought that Chu Chen should have taken a fancy to his pomegranate statue, but he didn't realize that his pomegranate statue was Instead, he thought that Chu Chen felt that the price of Pomegranate Zun was relatively expensive, and he was not willing to increase the price to buy it.

"Isn't this too picky?"

Nan Nan murmured to himself, but considering that he still wanted something from Chu Chen, he said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chu, you can actually choose this pomegranate statue. As for the price difference, you just need to think about it." gone."
