Chapter 59

After hearing this, other people didn't think much about it. Zhou Wenping, who knows the market, shook his head slightly. If the jade cicada is full of blood, it may still be worth forty or fifty thousand in terms of the market, but in terms of product appearance, the possibility is not high. It's almost worth twenty or thirty thousand.

According to the evaluation of the power, the 50000 yuan is a big profit, but the value is only known by Chu Chen himself, and he can't say it. Therefore, in the market, he certainly won't accept such a price, so he shook his head and said to Ma An:

"Mr. Ma, your price is a bit off the mark. If there are enough red colors, it's not enough It may be worth forty or fifty thousand, but do you think there may be more red places in this product? If the appearance of the product is worse after treatment, then I'm losing money? I'll give you a firm price of fifteen thousand. What do you think? "

Ma An thought about it and said, "maybe it would be better to brush off the soil? Besides, you're from the capital, and you won't be short of this money. It's a bit cruel to pay you fifteen thousand. How about thirty thousand? "

"Mr. Ma, my money is not for nothing, is it eighteen thousand?" Chu Chen light way.

Ma An pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth and looked like a loser: "well, let's meet each other. Twenty four thousand, you can take it."

Twenty four thousand, according to the normal, it's almost the same, so Chu Chen nodded and agreed, and Ma An was also quite satisfied with the price. Seeing that the deal was completed, his face immediately filled with a smile.

Next, there was the brocade box left. Before Ma an opened it, he said to the people, "it's really beautiful. If you can't help it, you must take it as a family heirloom. If you have less money, you won't sell it."

People listen to him say so, also don't care, at this time no one will say their things are bad, otherwise how can sell the offer. However, when they saw the things in the brocade box, they all showed admiration.

The inside of the brocade box is a beautiful jade bowl with flower patterns. This jade bowl is as thin as paper, and the craft is exquisite. At a glance, people will feel like it.

Everyone watched carefully and couldn't put it down. At last, when it was Chu Yulan's turn, she observed and exclaimed: "this jade bowl made of Jasper is really beautiful. It looks like the work of the Qing Dynasty, isn't Chu brother?"

When she saw Chu Chen nodding, she begged, "brother Chu, let me have this bowl. I want to give it to my mother. Do you think so?"

To tell you the truth, Chu Chen also liked this jade bowl, but he was satisfied with today's harvest. He always wanted to let his companions taste the sweetness, so he nodded and agreed.

Chu Yulan see this, immediately elated and Ma An talked about the price.

However, Ma An sees that she likes it so much, so she will not let it go easily. The price can be described as rising. The price of a bowl of curio is not good, so the price of a bowl of curio is not good.

After reading everything, we made a contract, but they didn't handle a check, and Ma An couldn't ask for a check, so Zhou Wenping took them to a nearby bank to transfer money. Fortunately, the bank wasn't too far away. It was only 20 minutes before they arrived. When they finished the business, they came back to Mrs. Zhou's house just in time for dinner.

After having enough to eat and drink, we chatted over tea.

Chuchen said to chuyulan with a smile, "Xiaolan, in fact, the jade bowl you bought today is not our country's Jasper."

Chu Yulan was stunned and said, "brother Chu, that is to say, this jade bowl is fake. Why don't you remind me, right! You told me clearly that it was the work of the Qing Dynasty. You won't cheat me, will you

Chuchen said with a smile: "Xiaolan, don't worry. I didn't say it was fake. Specifically, you can ask brother Zhou."

Zhou Wenping hesitated and said, "Xiaochen, you said that the jade bowl Xiaolan bought was really the craftsman?"

Seeing Chu Chen nodding, he said to Chu Yulan with a smile, "Xiao Lan, you've made a small profit today. Take out the jade bowl and I'll explain it to you."

Chu Yulan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but now she is also curious. What's the matter with Zhou Wenping's small profit.

Zhou Wenping opened the brocade box just put on the table, took out the jade bowl, and introduced it to everyone: "in fact, this jade bowl should be imported from abroad, and the country that imported it is called chendustan."

Chendustan generally refers to the exotic style jade carving crafts from Central Asia to North Indian Muslim countries after the Qing Emperor Gaozong calmed XJ, and the jade wares from Turkey were introduced in large quantities. In the Qing Dynasty, they were collectively referred to as "chendustan" jade wares.

The jade of "chendustan" was loved by Emperor Qianlong because of its thin paper and exquisite workmanship. The jade of "chendustan" was polished and polished, which catered to this aesthetic taste.

Qianlong once declared that "there are many jade craftsmen in Zhuxiang of Suzhou, but they are not as good as those made by Meiyu in Hetian. They are made by water mill, with clear flowers and leaves, but no trace." The language of the word.This "chendustan" flower and leaf bowl is carved with good Jasper. The whole body is crystal clear, and the carving is exquisite. The wall of the bowl is plain. The flower center is inlaid with gold wire and ruby. The jade bowl is exquisitely decorated and has infinite charm.

It is a pair of ears. The blade is smooth and natural, and the carving is delicate. It vividly depicts the delicate and delicate shape of the bud.

Emperor Qianlong once wrote a poem praising this kind of jade bowl: "there are flowers and leaves in it, but there is no trace in it. The inside and outside are round, and the color and shape are mixed."

We can see how precious it is.

According to the characteristics of his work, it should be a work of the middle Qing Dynasty. Therefore, such a beautifully made and flawless Dustan jade bowl is worth more than 80000 yuan. And you have to know that in those years, only 800 pieces of jade like this were paid tribute, so it is certain that they will appreciate in the future. "

After listening to Zhou Wenping, even Chu Yulan, a lady of noble temperament, blushes with excitement. Although she usually sees more valuable antiques than this, she bought this jade bowl herself, which can be said to be completely different.

While Wen Yuting and Li Guodong on one side are also envious of each other. They ask Chu Yulan to treat them one after another, and she happily agrees.

Seeing this, Zhou's father sighed: "I didn't expect that such a small bowl would be so valuable."

When Mrs. Zhou's mother came out of the house, she said, "old man, why don't you take out the bowl of the hungry family and let Xiao Chu have a look?"

Sister Zhou was surprised and said, "Dad, are there any old things in our family? I don't know."

Mrs. Zhou's father didn't answer her immediately. After a long time of reflection, she asked Mrs. Zhou's mother to take the bowl, and then said, "this thing is handed down from our ancestors. Originally, I wanted to wait a few years to pass it on to you, but you are not in good health, and you are ready to live in the capital. Now I'll pass it on to you. As for how to deal with it, it's up to you."

"Dad

Hearing this, Zhou Wenping and his wife didn't know what to say, and Zhou's sister-in-law was full of tears. You know, Mrs. Zhou's parents are just ordinary farmers. In order to cure her and save money, they spent all their money on her, which made the poor family even worse.

Whenever I think of this, Zhou Wenping and his wife always feel sorry for them and can only be filial to them as much as possible. Now, they are deeply moved by this situation.

Seeing this, Chu Chen and his family were also deeply touched. From the performance of Zhou's parents, we can see that Chinese parents care for their children as much as they can.

About ten minutes later, sister-in-law Zhou's mother came in with a paper box that looked shabby.

Seeing this, sister-in-law Zhou asked, "Dad, how can our family heirloom be packed in such a carton? If it breaks, what should we do if it falls down?"

Mrs. Zhou's mother said angrily, "I'm very sad. Although this bowl was handed down by my ancestors, who knows if it's worth money. It's nice to have a box to put it in."

After they opened the box, they looked inside one after another.

"Enamel?"

When he saw what was inside, Li Guodong exclaimed in surprise. Many people who knew the value of enamel also showed surprise on their faces.

Seeing this reaction, Wen Yuting asked Li Guodong, "Guodong, what is enamel? Why do you all look like this?"

With a look of surprise on his face, Li Guodong replied, "enamel is a tribute porcelain of the Qing Dynasty. I know a little about why it is so precious."

The official name of enamel colored porcelain is porcelain body painting enamel. It is a kind of fine painted porcelain specially designed for the imperial use in Qing Dynasty. Some products are also used to reward meritorious officials.

According to the records of the Qing Dynasty palace building office, it was a new type of porcelain created by the enamel craftsman of the building office who successfully transplanted the technique of painting enamel on the copper body to the porcelain body under the instruction of Emperor Kangxi. Enamel flourished in the reign of Yongzheng and Qianlong, which was a monopoly of the court.

The white porcelain body was specially made by the Royal kiln of Jingde town. After it was transported to Beijing, it was painted and burned in the palace building office of Qing Dynasty. The required schemata were drafted by Ruyi Hall of the manufacturing office, and determined by the emperor. Enamel porcelain was created and burned in the late Kangxi period, which was very popular in Yongzheng and Qianlong periods.

In the late Qing Dynasty, although there was still a small amount of firing, the place of firing was no longer in the palace of Qing Dynasty, but moved to Jingde town. In the early stage of enamel painting, there was no flower on the ground before painting.
