Jianbao life

Chapter 830 Strange Discovery
Perhaps because he felt that Chu Chen had made a lot of money for himself today, Fourth Master did not hesitate, and said with a smile: "There are indeed two more items, but I don't know, experts Chu, can you see it or not!"

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Master, we haven't seen this thing before, how can we know whether we'll like it or not."

The fourth master laughed and said: "That's right, then wait a moment, I'll go back when I go..."

After finishing speaking, Fourth Master got up and walked to the back room. Only Chu Chen and the others, the guide, and the young man were left on the scene.

At first, the young man didn't feel anything, but after a while, he felt uncomfortable and a little ashamed to be with Chu Chen and others. After all, he also knew that what his teacher did just now was really unnatural, but it was a matter of fact. At this point, and the other party is his teacher after all, he has nothing to say.

At this time, Qi Baofu said: "Some people, not only are they poor people, but they also misunderstand their children. They actually say that porcelain is a layman who can tell the authenticity by looking at the luster and traces of use. According to what he said, the Forbidden City Are all the unused porcelains in the collection fake?"

The young man also knew that Qi Baofu was referring to his master. At first he thought it was Qi Baofu trying to provoke the relationship between them, but after thinking about it carefully, Qi Baofu's words made sense. According to his master's theory, the one in the Forbidden City What about the unused porcelain?

"Could it be that what the master said is wrong?" For a while, the young man couldn't help being entangled.

While the young man was thinking wildly, fourth master came out of the back room with two things.

Fourth master put the things on the table, and asked with a smile: "Expert Chu, take a look, do you like these two things?"

Chu Chen and the others stepped forward and took a look. There were two things, one of which was like a scroll, and the other was a plum vase with blue and white landscape figures.

However, when Chu Chen noticed the landscape figures painted on the plum vase, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, because the landscape looks like the scenery in the treasure map, except that there are only mountains in the treasure map and no water. There are no characters either.

Out of curiosity, Chu Chen quickly took the bottle into his hand and observed it carefully. This made him frown a little, because he couldn't think of Zhang Huoni's head just because of the rather ordinary painter on the bottle.

However, what surprised him was that the inscription on the bottom of the bottle was printed with the word fire clay, which made him really unable to judge the authenticity of the thing.

After thinking about it, Chu Chen finally used a safe method, using supernatural powers to identify, but the result left him somewhat speechless.

Because, this bottle was indeed made by Zhang Huoni, and it should be a work from the 40s and [-]s. At that time, Zhang Huoni's painting skills were obviously already superb. Chu Chen really couldn't understand why Zhang Huoni made one. Such an ordinary bottle.

Some friends may ask, is there something hidden in the bottle again?Chu Chen also hoped so, but the fact is that there is nothing in this bottle.

Seeing Chu Chen holding the bottle in a daze, the fourth master was overjoyed for a moment, thinking there was something going on, so when Chu Chen came back to his senses, he asked with a smile, "Expert Chu, how is this bottle?"

"So-so!" Chu Chen said truthfully.

The fourth master thought that what Chu Chen said was just an excuse to bargain. He felt that since this thing was in Chu Chen's fancy, no matter what, it couldn't be worse, so he smiled and said, "Expert Chu!" , if you like it, I will transfer this bottle to you for [-] yuan, how about it?"

Chu Chen couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words. He felt that the fourth master was crazy about money. He dared to ask for [-] yuan for such a thing. He directly refused, "Master, your price is too outrageous."

"Then how appropriate do you think it is?" Fourth Master asked.

"There is too much difference in cognition between us, so I won't talk about it." Chu Chen replied.

"Expert Chu, if you don't say it, how do you know that I won't? Just say it." Fourth Master said with a smile.

Chu Chen raised a finger when he heard the words, and when he was about to speak, Fourth Master said, "Ten thousand?"

Chu Chen shook his head with a smile, and the fourth master continued, "One thousand is too little!"

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "I said one hundred."

The fourth master said with a look of surprise: "Ah! How can this price be possible!"

"So, we definitely can't agree!"

Chu Chen chuckled, he knew that the reason why the fourth master offered such a price just now was because he thought he was an expert and he was looking for good things, but this bottle was really not a good thing, and there was nothing hidden in it. What a mystery, he has the ability of photographic memory, he can write down everything about this bottle, of course he won't spend a lot of money to buy it.

"Did I feel wrong?" Seeing Chu Chen's indifferent attitude, the fourth master couldn't help muttering to himself, and then said, "Expert Chu, you can help me identify it, and it's more than 100 yuan, right?"

The meaning behind the words is that what Chu Chen likes is more than 100 yuan.

Chu Chen shook his head: "This kind of thing is on the market, but it can be bought for only a few dozen yuan, and I can buy it for 100 yuan."

Hearing what Chu Chen said, although Fourth Master didn't say anything verbally, his eyes were full of disbelief, thinking that Chu Chen was fooling him.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Qi Baofu curiously took the plum vase in his hand, looked at it and said:

"This bottle is really not that good... Eh! Fire clay? Could this be made by Zhang Fire clay?"

Hearing Zhang Huoni, Cao Jingde quickly put down the things in his hands, stretched his head over, and took a closer look, with a disappointed expression on his face: "No matter what, Zhang Huoni can't be at this level, this bottle must be Fake."

Qi Baofu shook his head: "I don't think so. After all, Zhang Huo Ni is just a counterfeiter. Only the high-quality imitation porcelain made by him is valuable for collection. As for the ones made by him himself, and they are so poorly made, What's the point?"

"Who is Zhang Huoni you are talking about?" Fourth Master asked.

Chu Chen briefly introduced Zhang Huoni's deeds, and then said: "I just think it's a bit strange that Zhang Huoni made such a bottle, so I want to buy the bottle back and study it, otherwise I won't buy it anyway. Will buy."

After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, the fourth master was half-believing, and said, "Expert Chu, since this bottle is of some value to you, you can add some more, let's count it to five hundred, what do you think?"

Chu Chen directly refused and said, "Master, I really can only sell one hundred for this bottle. If you think it's not worth it, forget it!"

As he said that, he immediately began to look at another thing, which turned out to be a thangka.

Thangka, also known as Tangga, Tangka, is a transliteration of Tibetan and Chinese, referring to religious scroll paintings that are mounted in colorful satin and hung for worship.Thangka is a unique painting art form in Tibetan culture, and its themes involve many fields such as Tibetan history, politics, culture and social life.Most of the thangkas handed down from generation to generation are works of Tibetan Buddhism and Bon religion.

The thangka in front of me is the thangka of the Mahasiddha Viwapa.Biwaba, meaning Dharma protector, was born in India in the seventh and eighth centuries.Originally a prince, he became a monk because of his world-weariness.He has lived in Nalanda Temple in India for a long time and served as the abbot of Landa Temple.The esoteric method he propagated was mainly the "Hevajra Tantra", which was later introduced to the snow area.

This thangka shows the image of the great achiever Biwaba.Biwaba has a square head with big ears and a high bun. He has a beard from his cheeks to his chin, around his mouth, and his eyebrows. His eyes are round and his earlobes are ringed. He has the image of a yogi.The body is fat, with a large cloak on both shoulders and a Zen belt on the right shoulder.Sitting in a game posture, put your hands in front of your chest to form the Dharma seal.

There are circular headlights and body lights behind him, and many wavy and arc-shaped radial lines are drawn on the body lights, symbolizing the radiance of the wisdom of the great achiever.There is a square Zen bench with curved legs under the body, on which a large animal skin is spread, and multi-layered lotus petals stretch out. The Zen bench is equipped with a backrest, and the two ends of the backrest are made into wishful shapes, which is very decorative.

This thangka uses strong and rhythmic, bright and vital lines to brush the Danqing lightly, vividly depicting the image of Biwaba, and fully demonstrates the line drawing skills that Tibetan and national painters are good at. It is a painting A rare and very rare masterpiece of line drawing Thangka.

Chu Chen didn't expect that he found a rare thangka work here, which made him feel that his trip was worthwhile.

After carefully distinguishing the authenticity of this thangka, Chu Chen raised his head to look at Cao Jingde and Qi Baofu. They smiled slightly, expressing that they were not interested in this thangka.Cao Jingde was not interested in Thangka himself, while Qi Baofu felt guilty because of what happened just now, and wanted to make it up to Chu Chen.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen said, "Master, I really like this thangka. I wonder how much it will cost if I take it back?"

At this time, the fourth master was still debating whether to sell the bottle to Chu Chen. When he heard what Chu Chen said, he was refreshed. Then he looked at the rather monotonous portrait in front of him, and made some calculations. Said: "Expert Chu, today I also rely on your blessing, how about this, if you want this painting, you only need [-] yuan."

[-] Thangka is not expensive, but today the fourth master has made a lot of money, plus he is also a treacherous and slippery person, of course it is impossible for Chu Chen to agree immediately, so he said: "Master, I I really want to buy it sincerely, but [-] is a bit expensive, so it’s cheaper, it’s [-], what do you think?”

"Six thousand is not worth it!" Fourth Master shook his head directly and said, "At least forty-five thousand..."

Next, the two of you came and went, when Chu Chen mentioned [-], the fourth master smiled and said: "Expert Chu, I think you are also a straightforward person. If you add this bottle to [-], what do you want?" If so, take it away?"

Chu Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Master, I can only offer one hundred for this bottle. If I promise you, the price is a bit high. If you really want to transfer it, it will be ninety thousand, and I don't want the bottle anymore."
