Play treasure master

Chapter 28
Yu Yao walked to the door of Geguzhai, "Ah Choo!"

"Who is scolding me behind my back?"

"I scolded you. Where did you go? I've been waiting for a long time!" Pu Jie came out from the Hubi shop next door, still holding a scroll of calligraphy paper written in water.

"Go and take down the bronze statue of Zhao Gongming." Yu Yao opened the store door, went in with Pu Jie, and closed the door again.

Pu Jie conveniently put the copybook on the table, Yu Yao lowered his voice and laughed, "You are the only one who still practices calligraphy? Does it look charming to look at the proprietress?"

"Don't talk nonsense, the boss and the proprietress are both in the store. I'm waiting for you in someone else's store. I'm sorry to just sit there, and I only spent 30 yuan."

"I'll give you two keys later, one for the rolling door and the other for the gate, open it later by yourself." Yu Yao said.

"Yeah." Pu Jie lit a cigarette, "Where's the bronze statue? How much did you get it for?"

"20."

"What? So high? This price is not a price you can understand!"

"I didn't understand it, let's start the price on the ground. I went to the store and talked to him for a long time, but the last 19 won't work. But I don't have to pay for it."

"What's going on? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen?"

After Yu Yao talked about the cause and effect, Pu Jie was amused, "A hero is sad when a beauty passes, so I'll tell you that you are delusional."

"I'm really not a fan. There are pros and cons to submitting for auction, but the receiving price is so high, and people are willing to advance money, the pros outweigh the cons."

"Well, it's all like this." Pu Jie took a puff of cigarette, "I said, there's another business coming!"

"The young man has been very diligent recently!"

"It's a lot of pressure to hang out with your Boss Yu." Pu Jie said, "It's like this, there is an old house in the east of the city, and the old man lives alone; a few days ago, the old man left, and the two sons almost fought over the division of property! Putting on such a prodigal son..."

Yu Yao heard, "The house and things left by the old man are not easy to divide. Is this going to be sold for a penny?"

"That's not it. But it's too late for me to get the news. The old man liked to collect a lot of things when he was alive, but now all the big ones are sold. I made an appointment to go this afternoon, and I heard that there are still some small ones."

"After being selected for a round, what are you still doing? Let me tell you, not only are the big items gone, but the small items are also left over."

"It's better than nothing, right? Go and have a look, there might be fish that slip through the net."

"Have dates or not." Yu Yao looked at Pu Jie, "Anyway, you also put in a lot of effort."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the two came to a courtyard in the east of the city.The yard is not big, with four main rooms, two wing rooms on the left and right, and a small gatehouse.In addition to this courtyard, there is a small piece of old buildings in the surrounding area.

Right at the gate of the small courtyard, before Yu Yao and Pu Jie went in, they saw two men coming out.One man was holding a bag in his hand, and the other was directly holding a small plate of bean green glaze, with an excited expression on his face.

Walking to the side of the door, the excited man took the small bean green glaze dish to the sun, and couldn't help but smiled at the man next to him, "I've picked up the leak now, this Kangxi thing is good, and it can be used in the sun." See clam light!"

The other man glanced at Yu Yao and Pu Jie and exchanged a wink, the two stopped talking and left in a hurry.

The bottom of this small plate is indeed the blue and white double-circle regular script "Great Qing Emperor Kangxi", but both Pu Jie and Yu Yao shook their heads.

Pu Jie then laughed and said, "These two sticks! Clams are only found on colored porcelain, so what are you talking about with a single-color glazed plate!"

The so-called clam light is a kind of membranous substance produced on the surface of the overglaze color. It usually takes at least several decades to oxidize and appear, and gradually thickens with the accumulation of time.How do you look at it, facing the light and looking sideways, it is a bit like the colorful feeling on the inner wall of a clam shell, which mainly occurs around the colored materials.

Yu Yao said, "Clams are just talking nonsense, the key is that this plate is not Kangxi's."

"Huh? Can you see that too?"

"The single-color glaze is one of the most accomplished porcelains in the Kangxi Dynasty. Just now when he looked at the light, I took a look and the glaze must be wrong."

"New job! This old man has such good eyesight?"

"It's not a new job. Guangxu imitated Kangxi, and it doesn't look like an official kiln imitated. It's an old thing, and you can play with it."

"Fuck, you're getting more and more annoying now!"

The two walked into the yard, there was a grape shelf in the middle, and a large tank under the shelf, with goldfish in it.The door of the main room and the door of the side room were open, and it seemed that it was basically evacuated.

In the main room, there is a simple folding table in the middle, and two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin, are sitting next to them. Although they are different in fat and thin, they have vaguely similar eyebrows and eyes. It is probably these two brothers.

There are also two men in the main room, one in his 40s and the other in his 50s, looking at the things on the simple folding table.

Pu Jie stepped forward to say hello to the fat man, and the fat man said, "That's all, let's watch together."

On the folding table, there were a pair of dusting bottles and a snuff bottle with a painting on the inside; in addition, the man in his 40s picked up a white jade nothing happened card and looked at it; Looking at the bottom of a large blue and white bowl on the table.

In addition, next to the folding table, there is a large cabinet with auspicious cloud copper ornaments on the four corners, and the lock on the front is also auspicious cloud pattern.

Pu Jie first looked at the duster bottle.The duster bottle, as the name suggests, is used to hold the duster. It is relatively tall, with a thin neck and a big belly.This pair of dusting bottles is very complete, a picture of pastel landscapes.

Pu Jie looked at it for a while, then looked at Yu Yao again, Yu Yao put down the snuff bottle in his hand, and shook his head slightly.

This pair of Shanshui bottles are from the Republic of China, and the craftsmanship is not good, especially the picture, the landscape pattern is very awkward.

The snuff bottles that Yu Yao had seen were average, they were from the foreign exchange earning period of the 60s and [-]s of the last century.

The man holding the white jade no matter card began to ask the two brothers for the price. The brothers didn't know if they understood it, or if they had looked for someone to check it, but they all looked confident, and they opened their mouths for [-] yuan.

The man began to bargain, and finally bought it for [-], and the two of them each dropped [-].

At this time, the man in his 50s put down the big bowl in his hand and sighed. It seemed that he didn't like it.

The thin one among the brothers said to him, "The mahogany cabinet is also good, don't be stupid, it's a good thing!"

The man in his 50s laughed, "How can there be painted mahogany!"

Both brothers were taken aback for a moment, it seemed that they really didn't understand.

Mahogany, now has two meanings.One meaning is a category, such as red sandalwood, rosewood, red rosewood, chicken wing wood, etc. are all categories of mahogany.Another meaning refers to red rosewood alone, and when it comes to old mahogany, it is often this.

No matter what the meaning is, for mahogany things, lacquering is superfluous, because the material itself is often fine and not easy to deform, and many of them have patterns, and at most they are oiled for maintenance.
