Chapter 206

Chu Chen put the bowl on the table and said to Wen Xuelan, "it should be a blue and white Yunlong bowl made in the Yongzheng period. The workmanship is still fine. If it is complete, it should be about 50000 or 60000. However, because it is already rough and there are some slight damages, it must be discounted."

Wen Xuelan quickly asked: "how much money can there be?"

Chu Chen thought for a moment and said, "according to the degree of the rough mouth and damage of this bowl, it's almost 30000. How about it?"

He has already calculated this price according to the highest purchase price in the current market. If he buys it back at this price, he will sell it now, and it won't be much more than 30000.

Of course, according to the antique market, it will certainly rise in the future, but it's impossible for him to buy this bowl at the future price. There must be a limit for doing good, otherwise it's not the end of giving money directly.

"Well, I think it's very good, and my grandmother should agree."

This bowl can be worth 30000, which is really a surprise for Wen Xuelan. However, the thought that something that could have been worth 50000 or 60000 yuan had been damaged by improper preservation, which made her feel rather distressed.

After a while, Mrs. Wen came in with a cloth bag. As soon as she came in, she eagerly asked the price of the bowl. When she heard that there were 30000, she was also overjoyed. Of course, Chu Chen didn't tell her the original price, otherwise she would be more distressed than Wen Xuelan.

"Young man, let's see if you have what you need." Mrs. Wen took out the things in her pocket one by one and put them on the table.

But the first thing startled the girls on the scene. Cheng Wanhui almost screamed out. She was most afraid of snakes, frogs, spiders and so on. In front of her was a toad.

"Grandma, where did you find this thing? It scared the hell out of me Wen Xuelan patted her chest and said.

Mrs. Wen said with a smile, "what's the fear of this thing? When your grandfather was alive, he often used it to hold water."

Chuchen said with a smile: "Granny Wen is right. This is the water in the stationery. It's a kind of utensil used to hold water."

Zhao Heyan frowned and said, "since it's water packing, what's wrong with its appearance? Why is it such an ugly toad?" Obviously she didn't like the toad either.

Chuchen explained with a smile: "this toad is not simple. I don't know that you have heard the allusion of" Bangxi Jinchan "

The allusion of Liu Hai playing the Golden Toad is a household name. Of course, Zhao Heyan and she have heard of it.

It is said that Liu Hai, a disciple of LV Dongbin, is highly skilled. He likes to travel around the world, subdue demons and demons, and give alms to benefit the world.

One day, he succumbed to the goblin of the Golden Toad, who had been harming the people for many years. In the process, the Golden Toad was injured and broke one foot, so he only had three feet left in the future. Since then, the Golden Toad submitted to the door of Liu Hai. In order to atone for his exploits, the Golden Toad used his unique skills to bite into gold and silver treasures, help Liu Hai benefit the world, help the poor and spread money. So people call it the fortune hunting toad.

"Cousin, you said it was a Golden Toad? Isn't that ugly? "

"Originally, it was not ugly. This Golden Toad should have been made of copper gilding, but it was not well maintained. The gilding on its body was separated. That's why it became what it looks like now. If it gilded again, it would be much more beautiful than it is now." Chuchen said with a smile.

"Brother Chu, why is my Golden Toad four legged?" At this time, Cheng Wanhui asked curiously.

Chu Chen was stunned and said, "how can a Golden Toad have four legs? Is three legs common sense? "

Cheng Wanhui embarrassed said: "this, my father the day before yesterday invited a toad back, is four legs."

Zhao Heyan said with a smile: "needless to say, your father must have been cheated by others again. Xiao Hui, your father is stupid enough. He doesn't always have a long memory. Last time he spent tens of thousands to buy a "dragon turtle for fortune". When he came back, he showed my father that it was only a few hundred pieces of handicraft. This time he bought a four legged Golden Toad. My father would laugh to death. "

"Xiao Yan, don't say that about my father. Besides, I'll ignore you."

Seeing their posture, Chu Chen said: "well, don't make trouble. Granny Wen, it's five thousand. What do you think? "

Old lady Wen said with a smile: "OK, OK. Just take a look at the price you said. These two things."

The remaining two things are also stationery tools, an ink color landscape printing box, and a writing brush.

A printing box, also known as a printing box, is a stationery for printing clay. Most of them are oblate and small in size, with copper, porcelain, agate, ivory and jade, among which porcelain is the best.

Predecessors have "inking pool, but porcelain is the best.". If it's a tile, it's going to consume fuel. Copper and tin are rusty. Jade, crystal and firing materials have the disadvantage of moisture, which is harmful to printing. It is also not applicable to some cases where stones are used. "

This ink color landscape printing box is tightly closed with its mother's and son's mouth, and has a ring foot. It is elegant in shape, meticulous in fetal bone, and pure in glaze juice. It has a certain collection value, and the market value should be around 6000.Chu Chen didn't hesitate. He offered Mrs. Wen a price of 6000 yuan. Of course, Mrs. Wen would not object to the price.

The last thing is the most common brush in the stationery, and this brush also brightened Chu Chen's eyes.

This brush should have been made in the middle of Qing Dynasty. The whole brush is made of ivory and the material is neat and fine. The body of the pen is engraved with two immortals of hehe, lined with rocks, trees and Ganoderma lucidum, and the cover is engraved with double deer, rocks and trees. The technique of light engraving is exquisite and the writing is fluent. What's more, this brush has no trace of being used, which is quite rare.

Chu Chen tried the brush a little and said with a smile, "Granny Wen, it seems that your grandparents are the scholarly disciples."

Mrs. Wen said with some pride, "that's right. I used to be a minister of the Ministry of household, but now I'm a senior official at the level of vice minister."

Chu Chen nodded with a smile and said, "that's really amazing. Do you have anything else besides these three stationery items? Such as inkstones. "

Mrs. Wen shook her head and said with regret, "it used to be, but I've sold some valuable things, and there are only three left."

Chuchen can't help but shake his head with regret after hearing what Mrs. Wen said. Looking at the posture of Mrs. Wen's family, there should be a lot of good things. It's a pity that he knew it a little late. It's very possible that some of his favorite things were missed. However, it's a surprise to have this rare teapot this time, and there's no need to be too sorry.

Next, the two sides set the price of 10000 yuan for the brush. In this way, the total price of these items today is 231000 yuan. Chu Chen drafted the contract, and the two sides signed it. Just wait for Zhao Qirui to take the money.

"Young man, I don't know if you accept" yuan Datou "

"Yuan Datou?"

Chu Chen was a little stunned when he heard that he didn't really accept it. On the market, there are only about 50 yuan Datou and only about 78 Longyang. The price of this thing is almost dead, and only a large quantity can make more money. He is really not willing to do this kind of business.

"Well, I've got several yuan Dadou here. If you want, you can take them with you."

"Well, let me see."

Chu Chen thought that leisure is also leisure. Let's have a look. If it's a special edition, the price is not very cheap. There are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of rare ones.

Mrs. Wen took out more than ten silver coins and put them on the table. Chu Chen fixed his eyes and found that most of them were ordinary yuan Datou, and a small amount of Longyang. He didn't find any special rare silver coins, but he was not disappointed. If the rare ones were so easy to find, would they be called rare?

Chu Chen counted the number of silver coins. There were nine yuan Datou coins and six Longyang coins. They were all common products, and two Longyang coins were not very good.

"Granny Wen, these are ordinary silver coins. Yuan Datou counts you 50, and Long Yang 75. There are 15 silver coins in total, 900. What do you think?"

"Ah?"

Chuchen thought she didn't agree and explained, "Granny Wen, my price is very fair. If you don't believe me, ask." In fact, it really doesn't matter whether chuchen accepts these silver coins or not. If Mrs. Wen doesn't agree, it's OK.

Wen quickly waved her hand and said, "no, no, young man, you misunderstood me. I'm very satisfied with the price, but I just counted 16 pieces, and now there are only 15. It's really strange."

With that, Mrs. Wen began to look for it. After a while, she found that there were some tears under the cloth bag, and the silver coin was stuck in the damaged place.

"Here, I say there are sixteen." Mrs. Wen handed the silver coin to Chu Chen with a smile.

Chu Chen didn't care too much. He thought it was yuan Datou or long Yang, but when he got it in front of him and was ready to check its integrity, he was suddenly stunned.

"How is it possible for Jing Chu to make" the province's "Guangxu Yuanbao Kuping seven coins and two Fen silver coins?"

Jingchu Guangxu Yuanbao Kuping Qifen silver coin was made by Jingchu Yinyuan Bureau in imitation of Lingnan silver coin and circulated in the city. At the beginning, the word "Bensheng" was embedded on the left and right of the dragon picture to show the difference from other provinces. Later, because of obstruction, the word "Bensheng" was removed when it was taken back for recasting, but it was not destroyed and recast.

And the rest of the silver coins are mostly worn or stamped, which is rare. Zhang Huang, a modern coin collector, numbered the coin ch133 in his book catalogue of Chinese silver coins and silver coins, and specially pointed out: "there is only one kind of coin, and there is no other edition."

Chu Chen didn't really believe his eyes. He was surprised that the silver coin in front of him was such a rare one, and it looked as if it was new!
