Chapter 623 Doubling ten times is still a leak

However, there is no signature on the grasshopper gourd, and Yu Yao is only making a preliminary judgment.

He can roughly determine that this gourd came from the Xianfeng Dynasty, and that the grasshopper gourds that could be made in the Xianfeng Dynasty were basically made by Sanhe Liu.

As for the ivory carving core, with such a level in the Xianfeng Dynasty, Yu Yao can think of Dong Sanbao.

Dong Sanbao is not the ivory carver of the Zaoban Office, but the ivory carver of the Ruyi Museum of the Zaoban Office.

There are many workshops in the manufacturing office, but this Ruyi Pavilion was directly managed by the emperor during the Kang, Yong, Qian and Qing Dynasties.At the beginning, it was mostly painting work, and later expanded into many categories, including porcelain, jade carving, tooth carving, wood carving and so on.It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that the Ruyi Pavilion was placed under the Office of Construction.

There is also "dentistry" in the manufacturing office, but the ivory carvings that come out, such as the things in the Yiguan, are still a little inferior.

Dong Sanbao's Ruyi Pavilion in the Xianfeng Dynasty was relatively famous, and was once highly praised as a "ghost worker" by Emperor Xianfeng.Sometimes the things he carved, Emperor Xianfeng had to use a concentrating lens to look at them, because they were too delicate.

However, Dong Sanbao did not come to a good end when he worked under the emperor.Once he carved a phoenix bead for the emperor, but because the request was too complicated, he lost his eyesight after the bead was made!A generation of master craftsmen finally became the swan song.

Dong Sanbao first became famous among the people, and then entered the Ruyi Museum. Therefore, there are also a small number of his works circulated among the people, but after all, there are not many.

The ivory-carved lotus on this grasshopper gourd is covered in dust, which can be called a wonderful workmanship.

Even if it is a grasshopper gourd from Sanheliu that has not been signed, the price reached [-] a few years ago.If Dong Sanbao's ivory carvings are covered in dust, and the works jointly produced by the two masters, it is no problem to hit hundreds of thousands; it is not impossible to hit millions.

"Grandma Wang, do you usually like patriarchal utensils?" Yu Yao asked softly after reading it.The reason why he said Pai Utensils and not gourds was because he was used to it, and because he wanted to ask if it was from the old lady's own collection.

"Xiao Yu, you are really professional. I also heard my old man talk about gourds before, but this classification is very specific, it is the song bug gourd."

Yu Yao nodded, and said in his heart that it turned out to be the property of her old man, "Is this the old man's possession of the possession?"

It’s a nicer way to say “to raise your possessions with Tibet.” To put it bluntly, it means that you don’t have so much spare money in your hands, so you sell old things and buy new things in exchange for money.

"He has passed away for many years. I have kept some of the big ones and favorite ones, and some have passed on to my children; I plan to sell the remaining small ones and disliked ones."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Grandma Wang, I don't know the old man..."

"It's okay, people always have time to go."

"Then besides this one, do you have anything else to sell?"

"Yes. Why? Can't this one be accepted?"

Yu Yao waved his hand, "No, no, I can accept it. Didn't I just ask by the way? It will save trouble for you if you come together."

The old lady thought for a while, "You pay a price first for this one."

Yu Yao also thought about it, "If you want to make a move, it's up to you to bid."

The old lady smiled, then took out a small notebook from her pocket, flipped through it, and said, "The old man bought this thing just to find a leak. He said before that if I want to sell it, I will sell it at least ten times."

"Then how much did he pay for it?"

"Six thousand." The old lady didn't play tricks.

"That is, you want to sell it for [-]?"

"Correct."

"Can you let me go a little bit?"

"I can't."

Yu Yao took out a cigarette, and just about to light it, he looked at the old lady again, "Grandma Wang, can I have a cigarette?"

Unexpectedly, the old lady said, "Give me one too."

Yu Yao was taken aback for a moment, but he still handed the old lady a cigarette, "Take care of yourself!"

"It's okay, I only smoke one a day."

After taking two puffs of cigarettes, Yu Yao said, "Okay, I won't tell you about the price. It's just that if you have something to sell, you can also give it to me."

"Xiao Yu, the price has been negotiated, but I have to say a few more words." The old lady only took a few puffs of cigarettes, and then put out the cigarette end, "If you make money on this gourd, I won't be jealous; After that, if you have any problems, you can’t come to me again.”

"Don't worry about that, I never do anything about looking for future debts."

"Okay, let's get over it!"

After the payment was settled, Yu Yao put the grasshopper gourd into the brocade box and put it away, "Grandma Wang, don't forget about me when you sell things in the future!"

As a result, the old lady smiled slightly and patted the fabric bag, "After you don't need it, here's another one."

The sale just now went well, the old lady doubled the price by ten times, but Yu Yao still picked up a mistake!
The most important thing is that the items are indeed high-quality goods, so Yu Yao was a little surprised when he heard this, and wondered what good things the old lady would come up with?
"Grandma Wang, you didn't bring several things to sell, did you?"

"No, just two pieces. I took the song bug gourd to the Seven Star Bridge just now, but no one bid more than [-] yuan; when I arrived on the old street, I didn't expect to meet you. You are very happy, [-] yuan No counter-offer."

The old lady paused, "The most important thing is that you helped me, you have a good heart."

Yu Yao's mind was quicker, and he thought what the old lady said sounded illogical.Since she brought out two pieces, they were for sale. How could she sell them because she helped her?

Moreover, if you thank yourself for your help, you should give a discount on the first item; although the item itself is also a leak.

However, many things seem to be illogical on the surface, but there are other factors inside. The old lady's next words made it clear:

"This item is handed down from my natal family. It can be sold or not. I brought it because I found a professional shop in Qixing Bridge to clean it. If you want to take it, I can give you a cheaper price."

Yu Yao smiled at the old lady, "Then I thank you first."

The old lady took out another brocade box from the fabric bag, which was rectangular.Yu Yao thought to himself, what was passed down from her mother's family and was used as a dowry, most likely it should be jewelry.

As a result, the old lady opened the brocade box and found a folding fan inside.

The fan bone is from Concubine Hongxiang, and the workmanship is very fine.

The fan bone of Xiangfei bamboo is relatively famous, and it is valuable because of the scars and natural decorative lines of Xiangfei bamboo, which are vivid and beautiful.

The fan bone of this folding fan is Hongxiangfei from Fujian Province, old material, red flower, full and round lines.And the size is not small, it should be 10 inches long, with a discharge port of more than 2 cm.

The so-called outlet refers to the place where the largest fan bone is the widest.Because of the Xiangfei bamboo fan bone, if you want to make a large outlet, you need to take the curved bamboo material between the original bamboo nodes and grind it flat. Under the premise of ensuring a certain thickness, you can make a flat 10-inch length and 2 cm outlet. It is already very rare.

"Grandma Wang, then I've done it?" Yu Yao said immediately after seeing it.
