God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 512 White Porcelain Paperweight
The pair of porcelain paperweights that Xu Jingxing found were obviously the kind that were sold at a low price.

This pair of porcelain paperweights is made of white porcelain, regular in shape, flat and smooth on the bottom, slightly curved on the front, and the curvature of the arc is also very standard, similar to those cut by a machine. A single line is carved with a layer of patterns.

The content of the pattern is quite simple. It is two plum blossoms. The branches of the plum blossoms extend from the side of the paperweight, occupying more than half of the curved surface of the paperweight, no more, no less, neither crowded nor monotonous, the layout is very good .

The patterns on the two paperweights are both plum blossoms, but the extended angles and curved lines are different, and the details of the flower shapes are also different, but both the layout and the painting are excellent.

The so-called true kung fu in the plain is probably what it means.

Anyway, judging from Xu Jingxing's eyes, the artistry of the maker of this paperweight is definitely not weak. As for the skill of firing porcelain, it doesn't look bad, because he turned it over and looked, all the sides of the white porcelain paperweight I didn't even see a single speck of impurity on it, and it looked like it was carved from top-quality white jade, so much so that even he himself couldn't put it down.

If he hadn't promised to give peace of mind, he would definitely have it in his pocket without hesitation. It's not always possible to come across such a small but exquisite utility tool that fits his aesthetics very well, especially the relative porcelain paperweight. The relatively unpopular items are really hard to come across.

Of course, the material of a paperweight does not have to be porcelain, it can also be wood, metal, glass, jade, stone, among which jade is the most valuable, but for a more practical object like a paperweight, jade is not Not a good choice, because it is too easy to damage, it may be broken if there is a slight bump, and even a little ink stain may remain on it permanently, because the structure of jade is a bit strange, especially Hetian Jade, the surface will have pores like pores, as if it can breathe, ink will definitely be absorbed into it, and it is difficult to remove.

So for him, a pair of top-quality porcelain paperweights is simply a treasure that can't be found.

It's just a pity, it's reassuring.

Seeing An Xin's happy face, she obviously likes it too.

Forget it, a gentleman doesn't take what others like, let alone arguing with his apprentice for this thing is not shameful enough.

But the thing that made him covetously the most was the aura inside. This stuff is precious, so it should be no problem to borrow it from your apprentice for two days, right?

Thinking of this, he turned his head and asked the stall owner: "Boss, what's the price for this pair of porcelain paperweights?"

The stall owner was a middle-aged man, and he had been staring at him since they picked up the pair of porcelain paperweights. At this moment, he said with a smile: "The little brother seems to be a real expert, and I have more than half of the pair of paperweights here. It’s been a month, but no one takes it as seriously as you do.” He said with a smile, “Since we are people who know the goods, then we won’t engage in those vain things, and the price is 6000 yuan.”

"Are you serious?" Xu Jingxing looked at the stall owner calmly and asked.

The stall owner nodded seriously, "The market for porcelain paperweights is not good, so they can't be sold at a price. Otherwise, with the appearance of this pair of white porcelain paperweights, you can buy them with a few more."

"Five thousand," Xu Jingxing probed helplessly.

"No, little brother, that's boring. Six thousand is the market price. It's impossible for me to buy and sell at a price lower than the market price. And it's fine if I don't know the goods, but unfortunately, I still know a little about porcelain. Yes, so no matter who asks for this pair of white porcelain paperweights, it is the same price. We men say that the price is a buy-buy price. Brother, I will not cheat you. If you can accept it, accept it. If you can’t accept it, then look at other items. .”

Well, this is the most feared situation in the process of picking up leaks. Obviously found a treasure, but when I asked the price, I found out that the stall owner was a person who knew the goods.

It is almost impossible to pick up the leaks from the people who know the goods.

However, being able to buy this pair of white porcelain paperweights for 6000 yuan is a small mistake, because the craftsmanship level of this pair of white porcelain paperweights is obviously higher than that of 6000 yuan. The author's name, if there is a name, as long as he is a slightly famous craftsman, the price of this pair of paperweights is more than this.

Thinking of it this way, his heart became more balanced, and he directly transferred the money to the stall owner, and then wrapped a pair of white porcelain paperweights that were as clean as jade and handed them to An Xin, "Hey, put it away, don't drop it, after you go back Let me play with it for a while, okay?"

An Xin nodded happily, "Of course, it doesn't matter how long Master wants to play."

"Then it's settled, let's move on," he nodded with satisfaction.

Lian Yueting on the side asked enviously, "Brother Xu, is this good for the paperweight?"

"Well, anyway, it must be worth the money. According to my judgment, it should be written by a famous artist. The two plum blossoms on the top are very skillful, and the workmanship of the paperweight is also quite good. If you don't believe me, I will go back and look at it later. The bottom surface is very flat. , without the undulating unevenness of the common porcelain paperweights, and even the traces left by the nails are barely visible, which shows that the other party made up for this defect with great care when firing the pair of paperweights," he said as he walked. While introducing the relevant situation to the two girls.

Although he is not a connoisseur of porcelain, and he has never even come into contact with real objects like porcelain paperweights before, but he has a strong memory and has read a lot of relevant materials, so he still has a good look when he comments, at least not I'm talking nonsense, but it has something to say and makes sense. Anyway, it's enough to fool the two little girls.

After he babbled a lot, An Xin and Lian Yueting looked at each other, and suddenly said with a smile: "It sounds amazing, but I just don't understand..." After finishing speaking, the two laughed happily.

He grinned, stretched out his hand and patted An Xin on the head, "I don't want to be such a saboteur, what a pity I just gave you a pair of treasures."

"Hee hee, we're telling the truth," An Xin stuck out her tongue and laughed.

Lian Yueting nodded to this, but said: "Of course I have more confidence in the next journey of picking up leaks, hee hee, because there is a super powerful brother Xu here."

"It's not too bad, let's get along, I'll take you to pick up the leaks," he was coaxed by the two little girls, and immediately he was full of vigor, leading the two of them forward.

It’s just that the three words of picking up leaks are easy to say. I really want to pick up leaks. Just like what he said, this is a job that needs the help of luck. Now their luck is not so good. After seeing hundreds of stalls, they can’t even I haven't seen a single decent ancient jade, and some are just funerary objects such as Dushan jade and other miscellaneous jade carvings. The jade is of poor quality and poor appearance, so it is really not suitable for collection.
