Chapter 431

Chu Chen looked at Wang Xiangong's expectant eyes and said with a smile, "OK, I'll call you then!"

"Well, are you talking about Jing Hao's autumn evening painting of Chu mountain?" Ning Shizhen asked in surprise beside.

Get Chu Chen's confirmation, Ning Shizhen can't help but be stunned, wait for his reaction, quickly said: "this, Mr. Chu, I don't know if I can also have the honor to see it at that time?"

Anyway, it's nothing to add one more. Chu Chen agreed very happily. Of course, this is also because Ning Shizhen is a friend of Zhu Dafu and Wang Xiangong, otherwise he would not have agreed so happily.

Just like the two people nearby, although they were envious, Chu Chen didn't send out an invitation.

Although it's a better day today, it's not a weekend and there are not many guests, but Ning Shizhen doesn't care about it.

In his words, making money from opening an antique shop comes second, and the most important thing is to make friends with like-minded people. Moreover, the antique business will not open for three years, or it will open for three years. It is normal that the business is not good. If the business is good, he will feel strange.

After drinking tea for a while, Zhu Dafu said with a smile, "shopkeeper Ning, do you want to bring some good things out for us to enjoy?"

Ning Shizhen said with a smile: "I've been ready for a long time, but I said in advance that there are some things I intend to exchange for. I hope you'll forgive me!"

With that, he hugged the crowd and walked out of the room. A moment later, he took the assistant and took nine boxes one after another.

"Please see, if you have anything in mind, you can bargain on everything except those that are exchanged for goods." Ning Shizhen opened all the boxes, and then made an invitation to everyone.

With a word of courtesy, everyone looked into the brocade box in front of them.

In front of Chu Chen is a bird food can. This can has a double joint shape and imitates the shape of a gourd. The top is rolled back to form a hole for wearing. On the back, it looks like a gourd wrapped around branches and leaves. It is smart and lovely, and the design is quite ingenious.

The body is covered with green and white glaze, but it looks a little gray. The glaze is moist and bright, but it looks a little rough, with a faint wave feeling. The appearance of the fetus at the mouth edge shows that the fetus is fine, clean and dense, and the regular and generous six character regular script of "Jiajing reign of Ming Dynasty" falls at the mouth edge.

The outer wall of the bird food can is decorated with blue and white twigs. The blue and white materials should be made of stone. The color is blue with gray and elegant. There are two kinds of decorative painting methods: real pen and outline rendering. The real pen is mostly thin lines, and the outline rendering is mostly thick lines and decorative. The lines are smooth, the lines are clear, and there is a sense of unity.

Although the shape of the bird food can is small, it is ingenious, and the painting is also quite exquisite. Unfortunately, by the late Ming Dynasty, both the glaze and green materials of the porcelain were not as good as those of the early and middle Ming Dynasty, and the quality was also deficient, which made the value of the bird food can greatly discount. Chu Chen thought that the market value should be around 80000.

But after all, this kind of bird food can is rare. Chu Chen thought about it. If the price is right, it's good to take it. So he asked, "shopkeeper Ning, please give me a price!"

Ning Shizhen said with a wry smile: "Mr. Chu, I'm really sorry. This bird food can was paid for at the beginning. The price is really not low. If you want it, it's only 80000 yuan. How about it?"

Chu Chen didn't buy this bird food can for collection. In this case, he would not make money, so he could only shake his head and give up and look at one thing.

The following antique is a blue and white flower bowl in Xuande period that Wang Xiangong saw.

The bowl has a deep belly, with blue and white decoration. The inner wall is painted with peony, lotus and chrysanthemum patterns. The inner circle of the bowl is painted with lotus. All kinds of flowers are connected by twigs and leaves. The outer mouth is painted with Huiwen, the foot wall is painted with Ruyi curling grass, and the lower abdomen is painted with Ruyi head and lotus. The theme decoration is the same as the inner wall. The painting on the surface is vigorous and free. The bottom is the official money of six character regular script of "Xuande new year system of Ming Dynasty" in the double circle.

This bowl is delicate, white and hard. The body of the bowl is coated with green and white glaze. The glaze is thick and moist. The luster is soft and not dazzling. It is mostly white but greenish. It is commonly known as "bright green glaze". The blue and white materials are drawn from the typical Su Mali blue materials. Due to the temperature of the kiln, the blue and white materials flow and disperse, which is just like the rendering effect of Chinese painting on rice paper.

Xuande blue and white flower bowl with twigs and flowers is a common utility ware of the official kiln, but the blue and white is green and beautiful, the shade is appropriate, and the decoration is regular without blindness, which truly reflects the elegant and popular beauty of Xuande porcelain.

If you want to say that since such a good bowl, why does Wang Xiangong not make an inquiry? In fact, it is because this bowl has two shortcomings.

First of all, the bowl is covered with ice flakes, and over time, a lot of dirt has been attached to the cracks of ice flakes. There's another problem. There's smoke on the surface of the bowl.

Smoke phenomenon refers to the partial or total appearance of gray, yellow, brown or impure white on the surface of ceramics, which is mainly caused by the deposition of carbon on the glaze after the glaze is melted without oxidation before the glaze is melted.

There was a crack of borneol and a smoke phenomenon, which made the appearance of the blue and white bowl really bad. Wang Xiangong didn't make an inquiry until he hated it.Although the blue and white bowl was precious, Chu Chen's heart also cooled down because of these two shortcomings. However, when he was ready to put the bowl back, he suddenly thought of something, so he changed his mind and asked Ning Shizhen for the starting price.

Although Ning Shizhen didn't know why Chu Chen asked about the price of the blue and white bowl with poor appearance, the bowl had been in his hands for a long time. Not only did he dislike the appearance of the bowl, but even other people didn't want to change hands or exchange it. Of course, there were also reasons why he didn't want to sell it at a low price.

Now that Chu Chen was interested, he quickly quoted a price of 220000, which was slightly lower than the market price, and Chu Chen just thought about it a little and agreed.

Just as Chu Chen was about to watch the next thing, he heard Ning Shizhen beside him say, "Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry. I'm going to trade these cultural walnuts for something."

When chuchen heard the word "walnut", he was immediately attracted. However, he remembered that he had to buy a pair of excellent cultural walnuts for his master.

"How are you going to change it?" Wang Xiangong asked.

"If the three Xuande furnaces of Xuande's own dynasty are treasures, they can be discussed." Ning Shizhen said with a gesture.

Hearing what Ning Shizhen said, Wang Xiangong could not help frowning: "I only have an ordinary Xuande stove. Can I replace the rest with something else?"

Ning Shizhen shakes her head firmly. He just likes Xuande stove.

Seeing this, Wang Xiangong's face could only show a look of regret.

At this time, Chu Chen also saw Ning Shizhen want to change three Xuande stove's play walnut, walnut just in the eye, his eyes can't help a bright.

This pair of walnuts should be variant lion heads. They are round and solemn in shape, delicate and hard in texture. Ordinary walnuts are generally two edged, and they have as many as five edges, which are wide and straight, blunt and round.

The color of walnut is ancient copper, the pulp is delicate, and it twinkles with the gem luster like red agate. It feels warm and moist like jade. It looks like the old walnut of last year.

What makes him even more excited is that the carving on the walnut is the nine dragons that are exquisitely carved. As we all know, walnuts are hard to carve. Nuclear carving should be done according to its texture. If you fail, you will lose everything. Therefore, there is no full skill and grasp. Nuclear carvers prefer to keep their original texture.

This pair of walnuts is carved with nine dragons and five edges, which add up to the ninth five. In ancient times, besides the emperor, who dares to use such walnuts?

In addition, the pair of walnuts also have a pair of ivory carved bases. It can be said that the pair of walnuts are excellent in terms of shape, texture and color, and can be called the king of literary walnuts. It's no wonder Ning Shizhen won't let go of such a top-quality cultural walnut!

Chu Chen decided that he must get the walnuts, so he said, "shopkeeper Ning, I don't know if we can use two Xuande stoves to make up the price difference. Can we get the walnuts?"

"This..." When Ning Shizhen heard that there were two Xuande stoves, she couldn't help but feel excited. Although Wenwan walnuts are more precious, the players are a minority after all. Although his walnuts are indeed more precious, the appreciation space in the future is certainly not as high as Xuande stoves.

However, Ning Shizhen was somewhat unwilling. When he was ready to refuse, Chu Chen added weight: "manager Ning, how about two Xuande stoves and one Hu Wenming's hand stove? If it's not enough, how about the price difference?"

When Chu Chen said that, Ning Shizhen choked down what she had just said. Although Hu Wenming's handstove is not as precious as Xuande's, it is not of low value.

Seeing Ning Shizhen's expression, Wang Xiangong on one side was immediately worried. He quickly bowed to Chu Chen and said, "Xiao Chu, let's discuss. I like to collect walnuts most. How about these walnuts?"

Chu Chen replied, "Mr. Wang, it's not that I don't want to let you. I'm going to give these walnuts to my master. Please forgive me!"

When Wang Xiangong saw Chu Chen say this, he seemed to think of something. He opened his mouth, and then sighed softly, "OK!"

Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly said: "Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry. Next time I have a chance, I'll help you find a pair of top walnut. What do you think?"

Hearing Chu Chen say so, Wang Xiangong also comforted a lot in his heart. He waved his hand and said, "don't be so troublesome, as long as you have this heart!"

Ning Shizhen had some hesitation. When she heard that Chu Chen wanted to give the walnut to Mr. Liu, she quickly agreed. Usually, she didn't know how many people wanted to have a relationship with Mr. Liu, but she didn't have a chance. Now she can show her face in front of Mr. Liu, but she can't miss it.
