Chapter 92 One Inch of Kesi and One Inch of Gold
While talking to the old farmer, Yu Yao looked at the cloth carefully.

This piece of cloth is rectangular, about a foot wide and more than half a meter long.Although it is black and dirty, it still has a smooth feeling on the hands.Picking it up, the pattern can be seen clearly. It seems to be a landscape, but it seems unusual, a bit like a fairy mountain cave.

Judging from the content, this piece of cloth is really too dirty, and I can't look at it in detail.But in terms of texture, Yu Yao understood it.

"Rag? What are you talking about? It's been accumulated for a long time without washing it. Look carefully, there are landscape patterns on it." The old farmer packed up his things without looking at Yu Yao, "You want it? ?”

Upon hearing this, Jin Ding regained his senses, "Let me take a look."

There was no other way, Yu Yao had no choice but to hand it to Jin Ding in his shop.

Jin Ding looked carefully, and it seemed that he didn't see that he was ugly, but he smiled, "Uncle Zhang, I'll accept your pair of walnuts, should I give you the cloth wrapped in walnuts?"

"That depends on what price you offer."

"I'm not charging you for one piece, it must be the price of kicking!" Kicking means shooting with one shot, and I took several pieces together.

"Okay, let's make gestures."

At this time, the old farmer had already collected the things that Jin Ding didn't want, and pulled up the woven bag.The two walked to the door and started talking in low voices.

Pu Jie also asked Yu Yao in a low voice, "Do you really want that piece of cloth?"

"Well, Boss Jin also noticed it. He wanted to turn around and sell it to me at a higher price." Yu Yao frowned.

"What a good thing, must it be?"

"A good thing is definitely a good thing. But it's not easy to date. You have to find a professional to wash it out to be completely sure. Wait and see what price he offers."

After Jinding discussed with the old farmer, the payment was settled.After the old farmer left, Jin Ding smiled and said to Yu Yao, "Brother, this is not cloth, this is silk!"

"Boss Jin was joking, how can silk be so thick?"

"It wasn't so thick originally, but the pattern woven on it is more complicated, and it can't be woven if it's not thick."

"Since Boss Jin likes it, let's keep it."

"Brother, to be honest, I like this pair of old walnuts. But I think you are not interested in walnuts, but in this piece of silk."

"How should I put it? In the words of Uncle Zhang just now, it depends on the price. If it is too high, it will be boring."

Jin Ding pursed his lips, "It's still [-], or?"

Yu Yao laughed loudly, "Boss Jin, you want to play with walnuts without spending a penny!"

Jin Ding looked shocked.That's right, although he kicked several things just now, but if you calculate carefully, the cost of this pair of old walnuts is less than [-].

Yu Yao picked up the bag on the handle, "I regretted this pottery pen holder just now, the price is too high. This piece of cloth, if you say it is silk, I want to buy it because there are few old Buddhist altars at home. A curtain, I see that this piece of cloth is a bit old, the size is okay, and there is a pattern. However, it is not easy to wash it out, so I am hesitating."

Pu Jie pulled Yu Yao at the right time, "Let's go, let's go, I haven't visited other stores yet!"

Yu Yao nodded, "Boss Jin, you are busy, we will take our leave now."

If Jinding could understand the true value of this piece of silk, this trick would not work, but the problem is that he can't!Moreover, if it's a good thing, how could it be so dirty?
He asked Uncle Zhang just now, and Uncle Zhang didn't know what it was. When he collected it, he was in an old house. It turned out that it was wrapped in the pair of old jadeite bracelets.

The reason why Uncle Zhang was willing to add money was because he saw the pattern on it, and wanted to wash it himself when he came back, but he was afraid that it would be ruined, and the other was because he was lazy.When packing things, I was so busy that I wrapped the walnuts and packed them up.

This thing is not too big like a handkerchief; it is not too short like a scarf; it is possible to hang it in a frame, but if the problem is to hang it all the time, it will not be so dirty.

"Then how much can you pay?" Jin Ding only made a sound when he saw the two of them taking steps.

"This number is the most." Yu Yao turned around and stretched out two fingers.

"Two thousand? Too little!"

"So, you'd better wait for a good buyer. See you, Boss Jin."

"How about Yaqian? I am sincere enough!"

Yu Yao shook his head.

This situation is reversed when Yu Yao bought the paw pot and pen holder.In the end, Jin Ding yielded all the way until he reached two thousand before hesitatingly agreeing.

Yu Yao and Pu Jie left Jindingxuan, and after walking twenty or thirty steps, Pu Jie pulled Yu Yao to the side and asked impatiently, "Good guy, I can figure out a little bit about that pen holder, it might be It's an unusual gourd, but what is this piece of cloth?"

"This piece of cloth is worth as much as a palace pot!" Yu Yao then introduced the pen holder first.

The omission of the goblet and pen holder is actually a bit hanging.Because Jin Ding must know that there are also high-grade patriarchal patriarchal pottery, but there are too few palace patriotic pottery on the market.

Besides, maybe he didn't know Liang Jiugong; or, he might know Liang Jiugong, but most of the inscriptions on the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty were dated, and few were named; and he was an eunuch, not a famous craftsman.

As for the cloth, Jin Ding was right, it was silk.

But it was no ordinary silk.

This is called Kesi.

Kesi is the essence of the essence of silk art, and it has been used by the royal family since the Song Dynasty.What do you do the most?Weaving dragon robes and phoenix clothes, standard portraits of emperors and empresses, curtain decorations for imperial use, copying top-level calligraphy and paintings.

This is fabric, not pen and ink. To weave the content of calligraphy and painting, it must be realistic. What a high technology!
Not only is the technique high, but considering how thin the silk is, one knows that this is an extremely complicated job, and some works even take several years of work.

The key technique of Kesi is called picking the warp and showing the weft, and some people call it clearing the warp and returning the weft.To put it simply, the function of the warp is only interspersed, and the pattern shows the colored weft.So it can be very delicate, no less than a painting!

In ancient times, there was a saying that "one inch of Kesi is one inch of gold".The things used by the royal family are not bad at all.

In the auction, there are three main forces for ancient fabrics: Kesi, brocade, and embroidery; and the transaction price of Kesi has always been the leader.

Furthermore, there are very few imitations of Kesi, because the craftsmanship is too difficult, and it is not easy to make.

Nowadays, there are very few craftsmen who inherit Kesi skills. Take this piece of Kesi work that Yu Yao bought as an example. It includes various gradual colors, and there are hundreds of thousands of them. Even skilled senior technicians have to rush to work every day. , I'm afraid it will take a year and a half.The cost is too high.

Moreover, if you want to say that it is a thing of the ancient court, it must be old.It is even more difficult to make old Kesi.

Therefore, there are basically no fakes of old Kesi works on the market.

"Good guy!" After listening to Yu Yao's introduction, Pu Jie couldn't help but yelled, and lowered his voice, "Although we can't break the era for a while, at least it's from the Qing Dynasty, right?"
