1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 258

The things to be done in Xiangjiang are basically busy. Now I will wait patiently for Luo Feng=people for a few days, let them take care of the housework, and then I can leave Hong Kong with Luo Tao for Shekou, Pengcheng, and prepare all the matters for the construction of the factory .

Today, taking advantage of the nice weather, Luo Tao and Hou Ming went to the three most famous antique streets in Hong Kong, Hollywood Road, Morrow Street, and Queen's Road.

In addition to these three places for selling antiques in Xiangjiang, there is another place called the Kowloon Hotel. In the 90s, the second and third floors of the Kowloon Hotel were all floors selling antiques.

However, this place is a bit far from the hotel where Luo Tao is staying, so I won’t go there today. I will stay at the Kowloon Hotel next time I bring my wife here, and then I can take a good look around.

Hollywood Road, Morrow Street, and Queen's Avenue are not far from the store where Luo Tao lives. They are nearby and only a few minutes' walk away.

Hollywood Road was the first street in the colonial period. Construction began as early as 1841 when the British landed on Hong Kong Island. Hollywood Road is at the foot of Victoria Peak.

In the early years before reclamation, it was close to the seaside. After more than a hundred years of continuous reclamation in Central, it has become far away from the seaside.

It has nothing to do with the filming location of the American Federation. It was named "Hollywood Road" because there were many holly trees planted on both sides of the street.

This street is dominated by small antique shops.

Moro Street is also known as "Cat Street". There are often some shady things here, and the things sold are also called "mouse goods" by the local people in Xiangjiang, and the customers who buy things are also called old cats.

This street is dominated by street stalls.

Next is Queen's Road, which is dominated by large antique shops. The customers they receive are also large antique dealers, and the prices are naturally high.

"Queen's Road East" sung by Luo Dayou is this street.

These are all things Luo Tao has heard about in the past few days. He who likes to visit street stalls in the capital, how could he not go and join in the fun.

To be honest, there are still a lot of big leaks on the street stalls. Although there are many genuine products in the store, they are all high-end goods, and most of the things can only be counted from three generations.

Luo Tao really doesn't like going to antique stores, because buying things at street stalls is more exciting than buying things in stores.

This is also the realm that Luo Tao plays.

Luo Tao took two idiots in the antique world, Qing Houming and Xu Le, and the three of them wandered down Moruo Street. There were a lot of old objects, but there were really few that Luo Tao could like. A few goodies.

"Brother, doesn't that big plate look quite old to me? It still has a model. Why don't you buy it? Instead of buying such a new bowl, it doesn't have a model yet."

Xu Le was holding a small white bowl. How could he, a layman, understand that this was the joy of being in the antique shop.

"You kid, after following me for so long, you really haven't learned any of the essence. Who told you that things become more valuable as they get older."

Luo Tao looked around for the treasure, and also distracted himself from talking to Xu Le.

“If this thing has a pattern on the bottom, the chances of it being imitated are much higher.

This thing should be from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, not all porcelain in official kilns had to be glazed on the bottom.

A considerable number of large vessels and some small and medium vessels are not glazed at the bottom, and also have flint red, which makes it difficult to inscribe on the bottom, so if you want to inscribe, you can only write on the body and other parts.

Have you looked elsewhere? "Luo Tao stood beside him and explained patiently. After speaking, he motioned for him to look at the white bowl.

He picked it up and looked at it carefully, and it was true.

Luo Tao took the white bowl from his hand and said, "Look at the base glaze. This is flint red."

Flint red, commonly known as "kiln red" or "loquat red", refers to the orange-red or orange-yellow phenomenon that appears in the exposed areas of ancient porcelain, especially JDZ porcelain and Longquan porcelain of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

"It's true, brother, you are so awesome. You can be sure of it with just one glance. I'm convinced."

"Okay, let's hurry up, otherwise we won't have time." Luo Tao is not in the mood to listen to his flattery here. After finally going to Xiangjiang Taobao, if he doesn't get two high-level items, it will be a bit unreasonable.

Luo Tao walked to a booth and stopped, seeing a pair of familiar objects.

Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup.

I don't know if it's a fake, so I plan to take a closer look.Luo Tao knelt down and chatted with the boss, "Boss, how do you sell these court beads?"

This time roundabout tactics were used again. Luo Tao was also an experienced player, so it was impossible for him to go straight to the goal he wanted.

At this time, his eyes were fixed on something he could still like, and he took the opportunity to take a close look at the pair of chicken cups.

"Hahaha! Boss, you have such a good sense. This is a red agate pearl. It was given to Li Hongzhang by Cixi back then. It is not expensive at all. It costs [-] yuan. You are so excited! How about it?"

This boss has a lean appearance and a good talker. Luo Tao will not let him lead the way.

This kind of beads was only worn by officials and relatives of the emperor in the Qing Dynasty. In the early and middle Qing Dynasties, it was the fifth and fourth grades of civil and martial arts, and could only be worn by women of the fifth rank. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, it had developed to the point where even minor officials of the seventh rank could wear it.

Chao beads are strings of beads worn on court uniforms in the Qing Dynasty. They usually consist of six parts: the body, the Buddha's head, the clouds on the back, the memorial, the big pendant, and the pendant corners. They are derived from the Buddhist "rosary beads".The number of beads in each string of beads is strictly limited to 108. It is said that Buddhism regards 108 as the symbol of Buddha.

…………(For detailed explanation, please contact Du Niang).

"Boss, your price is too high. If it were a true southern red pearl with an extra zero, I would buy it without hesitation. Eight hundred and eighty, how about you give it a try?"

As soon as Luo Tao finished speaking, he looked constipated, thinking that he had met a master today.

"The boss is joking, how could this be fake? If you don't want to buy it, please don't make trouble here.

redneck.

If you can’t afford it and still like to pretend to be rich, let’s go!Let’s go now. "

These words made Luo Tao and the others furious, "You..."

"Lezi, step back." Luo Tao was very calm, and waited to confirm whether the pair of cups were Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cups.

"Brother, this kid is so damn contemptuous of others."

Luo Tao motioned him to step back with his eyes, then smiled at the unscrupulous businessman and said, "I'm sorry, boss, I bought this Chaozhu. It's [-] yuan. Check to see if there's anything wrong."

The profiteer was shocked when he saw Luo Tao taking out the money. He would not believe that Luo Tao and the other three mainland boys could be so rich.

"Hey, I'm sorry, boss, I look down on others, so please don't take it to heart...……………………."

He would now start to flatter Luo Tao with all his heart, which was really disgusting. From the faces of the neighboring stall owners and customers, you could tell that this man's behavior was disgusting.

After the deal was good, Luo Tao turned his attention to the pair of Chenghua Doucai chicken cups.

"Hey, boss, these are a nice pair of cups, perfect for drinking!"

Hearing Luo Tao's words, he was extremely happy and introduced him very enthusiastically.

Luo Tao didn't interrupt him, just let him spit and spit, and he secretly observed and evaluated carefully.

This cup has a slightly open mouth, and gradually converges at the bottom of the mouth. It has a flat bottom and is suitable for lying down.The cup body is small, with flexible contours, straight within the curve, and straight within the curve, showing a dignified, graceful, elegant and graceful charm.The outer wall of the cup is decorated with two groups of hens, surrounded by lake rocks, roses and orchids, creating a scene of early spring.

The pictures are vivid and interesting.

There is no glaze around the sole of the foot.

In the blue and white columns at the bottom, there are two lines of six characters in regular script "Da Ming Chenghua Year System".

"Boss, this is not from Chenghua. I have to say that it is from the late Qing Dynasty. It seems that it was auctioned a few years ago. This pair is very good. You can tell me the real price. There is no need to give it. .”

Luo Tao was really afraid that this guy would really open his mouth.
