Jianbao life

Chapter 828
But perhaps because the authorities were obsessed, the old man didn't think about this question at all, and shook his head again and again:

"That can't be done. This thing is worth so much money. If you spend so much money, if you tell me, others will treat me like a hammer. At most 300!"

"Then you put it down, I can't sell it at a loss, if you say it's not worth it, I'll just put it here, and let a fool buy it someday..."

Since the old man fell in love with this double bottle, he must be reluctant to give it up. Next, the two sides spent a long time in ink, and finally the old man gave the fellow 2800 yuan, and the fellow was still very reluctant.

Then, the old man asked again: "Little brother, what other good things do you have? Look at the two things you sold me, but they are not very good. What's the matter, you have to build one for me. If it is not Looking at Lao Zhou's face, and I don't want to come in vain, otherwise I definitely won't buy it!"

The fellow thought for a while, and slowly said: "There is still one thing, but the price you gave is too low, and I have to lose money for this bottle. If it hadn't been taken back for such a long time and I haven't sold it, I said I won’t sell you anything, and you still want me to give you something, that’s definitely impossible.”

Hearing what he said, the old man's expression immediately changed, and with a smile on his face, he said, "It's okay, it's okay, show me something, the price is easy to negotiate."

The fellow looked at the old man with a reluctance on his face. At this time, the guide came in from the door and said, "Hey, why are you still not recovering?"

The fellow explained the matter briefly, and the guide waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, take out your little things and see what you can do. Hurry up, I have to take them with you later." Let's go to the fourth master's side, I don't dare to make him wait too long!"

Hearing what the guide said, the fellow quickly took out a bag from the desk drawer next to the bed, opened the layers of baggage, and there were several brushes inside.

Seeing a few writing brushes in the baggage, the young man who was following the old man couldn't help curling his lips, as if to say, isn't it just a few writing brushes, what's the point!
Seeing this situation, Chu Chen smiled secretly. If young people can keep playing in the antique business, they will know that the four treasures of the study are top-grade among miscellaneous items, and as long as the writing brush is over a hundred years old, the price will be very high. All of them are eligible for the Guardian auction.

Chu Chen took a closer look and found that these brushes were all good. Among them, the materials of the pen tubes were red, huanghuali, and ivory, etc. Although the styles were all from the Qing Dynasty, most of them were worth more than 5000 yuan. .

So, Chu Chen kicked Qi Baofu and Cao Jingde calmly with his feet, telling them not to miss these brushes, and they both nodded slightly understandingly.

The old man took the brush and looked at it for a while, and finally chose the largest one, without asking the price, and said to the fellow: "Okay, you said you were with the bottle just now, and I will give you 1000 yuan for this brush." One dollar, alright, this time I'll make you a big one."

When Chu Chen saw the old man's choice, he knew in his heart that the old man probably pretended not to understand. There were good ones, but he chose the most ostentatious one. Most other brushes cost more than [-] yuan. The lowest value, less than two thousand.

The fellow shook his head quickly when he heard the words: "No, no, the writing brush is a good thing. I will take it back for 2000 yuan!"

The old man said with a displeased face: "Forget it, you took it back for 2000? I want 1000, if you don't get it!"

The fellow thought about it, and finally sold it to the old man.

The old man chose one writing brush, and there were six remaining. Chu Chen and the others originally wanted to choose two brushes each, but the fellow villagers refused, and only agreed to each choose one brush.

So, after Chu Chen asked Qi Baofu and the others to choose first, he pocketed the most valuable red brush.

After clearing the money and goods, the group followed the guide and walked out the door.

When we got outside, the guide said: "Boss Cao, I've already talked about it over there, but you have to be prepared, the price of things is not cheap!"

Cao Jingde looked at Chu Chen and Qi Baofu, and seeing that they were all fine, he said, "Old Zhou, as long as things are good, we have no problem at all."

In fact, judging from the performance of the fellow just now, the guide and him should be in the same group, and they partnered together to deceive people.But the things they brought out were not very good, as long as they had a little vision, they could see it. As for the old man, he was cheated because of his own vision.

To be honest, now that he knows that the guide is probably a liar, Cao Jingde really doesn't want to go with him to the next house, but this is what they asked before, so it's impossible not to agree, anyway, there is Chu Chen's reassurance Now, there's nothing wrong with agreeing to it.

Seeing that Chu Chen and the others agreed, the guide said again: "Then let's talk about the cost. I want three points, how about it?"

Three points may not seem like much, but if the value of the item is high, it will be considerable. For example, if it is over a million, there will be a benefit fee of [-], which is also very good.

For Chu Chen, as long as the things are good, even if the things are worth tens of millions, he will not be ambiguous about this little benefit fee, and Cao Jingde and Qi Baofu also said that there is no problem.

The guide smiled and nodded: "Let's settle this matter, come with me?"

At this time, the old man asked: "Old Zhou, can we go see the world together?"
With the harvest just now, he was also very satisfied, but when he heard something of higher value, he also started to itch in his heart, wanting to go and see what it was.

The guide looked at Chu Chen and the others, and saw that they had nothing to say, so he smiled and said, "No problem..."

A group of people followed the guide around to the door of a farmer's house. During the period, perhaps because he felt that today was a good harvest, the old man whispered to the young man next to him for a while.

He said: "Look at the bottom of that old porcelain, it's all dirty, not clean. You think, that thing has been used for so many years, and it is placed everywhere, so the bottom must be dirty. And you touch it with your hands. , it must feel like a stab."

Hearing this, the young man asked curiously, "Master, why is that?"

The old man said with a smile: "The reason is simple. Think about it. After so many years, no matter what it is, even if it is a large or standing piece, someone will always wipe it and sometimes move it. If you rub it often, it will definitely not be so smooth, and it will feel tingly."

"In addition, when the servant girl wipes the porcelain with a rag, the rag is not clean. There are some small dust particles on it, which will scratch the surface of the porcelain. This is the trace of use. If you master these two points, you will definitely not hit the hole. Already!"

Chu Chen has good ears, and he listened to every word the old man said. At the end, he almost burst out laughing.

You have to say, the experience of the elderly, right?There must be some truth in that, but this theory is only valid for some porcelains.

To give a simple example, many things in the imperial palace are not opened or sealed at all. For example, the Duomu pot in the Forbidden City, after being boiled, it was put in the box and never taken out. Where did it come from?Where did the bottom come from?The thing still shines like new.

The old man taught his disciples like this, completely misleading his disciples, and the young man nodded excitedly, probably taking this statement as valuable experience and wealth.

However, it is inconvenient for Chu Chen to talk about this kind of thing. After all, everyone is not familiar with it, so he told the other party that his master's theory is wrong, and the young people don't think he has ulterior motives.

The guide knocked on the door of that famous house, and after a while, a young man in his 30s came to open the door.

"Uncle Zhou, you're here!" The young man greeted the guide with a smile, and nodded to the others.

The guide also greeted the young man with a smile, and then the young man led everyone into the hall.At this time, in addition to an old man in his 70s sitting in the room, there was also a thing covered with a cloth not far from the old man's face.

The guide respectfully said to the old man sitting in the hall: "Fourth Master, I brought the guests here!"

The fourth master nodded, and then he said: "I won't talk nonsense, I will just say a little bit, you can see this thing, but you can't touch it with your hands. Of course, if you can buy it, you can buy it with your hands." It's okay to touch."

Chu Chen asked after hearing the words: "Fourth Master, how much do you plan to pay for this thing?"

"200 million! Not even a cent less!" As he said, Fourth Master gestured with his hand.

Hearing that the item was going to sell for 200 million, Chu Chen was fine, but the others were a little shocked, especially the young man who was stunned.

Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "No problem!"

"Everyone please!"

Fourth Master made a gesture of invitation to everyone, and afterward, the young man took off the cloth covering the things.

"This is an iron clock!"

When Chu Chen saw the whole picture of the thing, he couldn't help being stunned, and Qi Baofu who was beside him even exclaimed immediately.

The 镈钟 is an ancient percussion instrument. It was made of bronze in ancient times, also known as the "special bell", and it was played with a mallet.Compared with chime bells, the latter is chime hanging, while the former is texuan.

This iron bell is in the shape of a tile-covered bell, buckled backwards, with 36 copper nails protruding all over the body, with inscriptions on both sides, and seal script on the positive side of the body, an inscription made by Emperor Qianlong, and the name of the bell cast on the back, and the whole body is gilded.

In the ancient temperament system, an octave was divided into twelve semitones that were not exactly equal by the method of thirds.There are six yin and yang in each of the twelve rhythms, coincident with December, the rhythms from low to high are as follows: Huang Zhong, Da Lu, Tai Cui, Jia Zhong, Gu Xi, Zhong Lu, Rui Bin, Lin Zhong, Yi Ze, Nanlu, without shooting, should respond to the bell.

In contrast, the twelve bells are not kept in parallel, but only the bells of the current month are set. For example, the yellow bell is set in November, the Dalu is set in December, the Taicu is set in the first month, and so on.The rhythm of this piece of bell is "Zhonglu", which is the sixth of the twelve bells.
