God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 185 Duan Inkstone
Since Xu Jingxing saw through the purpose of the young stall owner, he naturally wouldn't be fooled.

But with a playful heart, he deliberately nodded following the words of the young stall owner, "My buddy has good eyesight, I really plan to give it to someone, but I'm not a rich person, and I can't afford it if these inkstones are too expensive. If the price is too high, there is no need to take it out.”

"Hey, it's not expensive. Although they are all ancient inkstones, ancient inkstones are different from ancient inkstones. If they are made by famous masters or inkstones used by celebrities, the price is naturally high, but ordinary ancient inkstones are not expensive. It's outrageous, it's perfect for gift giving, of course, it must be more expensive than the new inkstone," said the young stall owner hastily.

Xu Jingxing smiled secretly, but there was a "that's right" expression on his face, he nodded decently, pretending to be a sheep who didn't know how to pretend to understand, and then picked up an inkstone to gag and looked at it.

I have to admit that these inkstones look really good, at least at first glance, they are not the kind of machine-carved junk on the booth, they are hand-carved, and the patina looks like So it's going on, it looks like it's old.

However, the shape and craftsmanship still couldn't catch his eyes, he looked at it for a while, shook his head and then put it down.

So again and again, even looking at several places, I am not satisfied. Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, these inkstones are already very good, and they are quite ostentatious when they are taken out, but in front of experts, these things are not as valuable as a stack of rice paper. .

However, when he picked up the last one, his heart moved, and he rubbed it lightly with his hand twice. After feeling the slight stabbing feeling on the surface of the inkstone, he almost laughed out of joy, because it was a Duan inkstone.

Duan inkstone, along with She inkstone, Chengni inkstone, and Tao inkstone, are called the four famous sayings of China. The ranking of these four famous sayings is not high or low, and their performance and appearance also have their own advantages and disadvantages. But Xu Jingxing loves Duan inkstone the most because of its uniqueness. Inking is the strongest.

The so-called good ink development means that the fusion speed of ink and water is fast and the fusion is good. The well-developed ink is like oil, and it can even have a faint oily sheen in the inkstone pool. When painting with the ink ground from the end inkstone, The ink will flow with the brush, and there is a slight feeling of following the brush, but the flow of the ink is smooth, and it is very easy to use, especially suitable for painting.

Of course, not all Duan inkstones are so good. The practicality of one inkstone mainly depends on the material. The ore in the same pit will definitely have different textures. A little bit thicker.

Of course, fine texture has the advantages of fineness, but if the texture is thicker, it also has the advantage of roughness. Xu Jingxing also prefers Duan inkstone with a slightly thicker texture. It just made up for the shortcoming of the Duan inkstone's slow ink filling speed.

This square inkstone is very suitable for his requirements, the texture is slightly thicker, it feels slightly prickly to the touch, and the thickness is just in his favorite range. It is not easy to paint with the ink ground from this square inkstone.

It's a pity that he didn't use this inkstone for himself, but took it out as a gift.

However, this inkstone is not bad as a gift. The shape of the design is bright, and the carver is very skilled. It looks like it was carved by a skilled old carver. Although it is not a master's handicraft, it is enough to give it away. After all, it is an ancient inkstone, and there are not many left, so he is lucky to come across such a small boutique.

Of course, he is not sure that this is an ancient inkstone, but he can be sure that this inkstone is a small boutique, even if it is carved by modern people, it can be worth a lot of money.Moreover, what he gave as a gift was not money, but the inkstone itself, as long as the inkstone is a high-quality product, as for whether it is an ancient inkstone, or how much it is worth, it is secondary, I believe old man Zhu will not care about it The value of the inkstone.

So he just took a glance at this Fang Duan inkstone, but he shook his head and sighed with disappointment, "Brother, these inkstones are only quite satisfactory."

Seeing Xu Jingxing shaking his head just now, the young stall owner was already full of anxiety. Hearing this, he was even more afraid that Xu Jingxing would just run away, so he quickly explained: "Brother, these inkstones are all ancient inkstones. Outstanding, but there are not many ancient inkstones in the first place, it is quite good to be able to collect so many places, of course, the good is not without it, but the price..."

Xu Jingxing smiled secretly, but nodded reluctantly following the words of the young stall owner, "That's the truth, but..."

At this moment, An Xin beside him whispered, "Master, it's almost eleven o'clock."

This girl is really smart!
Xu Jingxing praised secretly, then looked at the phone, and said helplessly: "Forget it, it's getting late, just take one side, um, just this one, how much is it?" The Fang Duan inkstone.

"This one, six thousand eight," the young stall owner replied with rolling his eyes.

"It's too expensive," Xu Jingxing shook his head, "Brother, I'll take it if it's cheaper. If it's too expensive, I'd rather change it to a cheaper one." He glanced at one of the worst-looking inkstones, A posture of changing without lowering the price.

"Brother, this is really not expensive, Gu Yan, this is Gu Yan," the young stall owner quickly cried out, as if he had been wronged so much.

Xu Jingxing shook his head, "Let's not talk about whether it is an ancient inkstone, even if it is really an ancient inkstone, it is not worth so much money, firstly, it is not carved by a famous artist, secondly, it is not used by a famous person, and lastly, the shape is not It's very ordinary, the workmanship is even more ordinary, and the texture is not so delicate, you can touch it, and it's even stabbing, if you want me to give it, it's up to a thousand."

This is blatant nonsense, bullying people don't know much about these professional knowledge.No way, this kind of professional knowledge is really unpopular. People who don’t use duan inkstone often don’t understand it at all, especially the last point. The finer the better.

Sure enough, the young stall owner was fooled by him, opened his mouth but could not speak, and finally smiled wryly: "Brother, you are indeed an expert, but 1000 yuan is too little, let's add more, although the appearance is average." , but it can be considered unsatisfactory if it can be passed down from a hundred years ago to the present, not to mention this inkstone, when it was collected, it cost more than 1000 yuan, you can’t let us sell it at a loss, can you?”

"Then tell me a price."

"Five thousand..."

"No, let's hurry up. Each person takes a step back. I'll take three thousand, three thousand. If not, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to be a guest at someone's house in a hurry. Time is tight," Xu Jingxing said. He waved his hands impatiently.
