Chapter 933

Wu Renmin said eagerly: "ah! How can it be? At that time, Lao Chang vowed to me that he bought it from a farmer who had been a senior official in the Qing court. "

Wang Mingcai frowned at Wu Renmin. He and Wu Renmin were friends from childhood to adulthood. Seeing Wu Renmin's gaffe, he said earnestly, "Lao Wu, it's nothing to do in our business. As long as we can learn a lesson, you will still suffer in the future with your present attitude."

Wu Renmin was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He said with a smile, "I just didn't expect that Lao Chang would cheat me."

Wang Mingcai shook his head: "you, it's just too easy to trust people. Lao Chang doesn't want to cheat you. He just wants to make more money from you. Now that he has enough money and is ready to immigrate, he can cheat you as much as he can."

Wu Renmin was quite surprised and said, "is Lao Chang ready to immigrate? Why don't I know that? "

Said: "hearing the news, people around you don't even know?"

Wu Renmin said awkwardly, "I went to the countryside recently to collect some goods. I just came back last night."

Wang Mingcai heard the speech and sighed: "you actually went to the countryside to receive goods. I don't know how to say you are good."

Wu Renmin waved his hand and said, "Lao Wang, don't worry. I'm not a fool. How can I be fooled so easily every time?"

"You..." Wang Mingcai pointed at him and said, "forget it. I'll tell you after seeing these things."

"Yes

Wu Renmin nodded. He didn't think much of Wang Mingcai's words. He felt that his friend was too worried. Of course, he knew that it was for his good. He was ready to listen to what his friend said. If there was any, he would change it. If there was no, he would encourage him.

Then he turned his attention and asked Chu Chen, "boss Chu, what's wrong with my blue and white can?"

Just now, while they were talking, Chu Chen looked at something else. Hearing this, he said, "let's not talk about anything else. Let's just say that this kind of old mark on the jar is actually made, but the old man is more powerful and looks very natural, but it may still be the method we are familiar with."

Chu Chen said that the method is to use potassium permanganate solution, mixed with a little brown sugar, coated all over the body, the bottom of the foot circle focus, about 48 hours later, wipe with a dry cloth. All the exposed parts and opening parts were almost purple brown in varying degrees. If you feel that the color of the bottom foot is too dark, you can scrub it with washing powder and polish it with fine sandpaper to make the tire slightly white, like a glutinous rice tire, which gives people visual error.

Of course, it's very simple to say. It's not so easy to confuse the real with the fake. However, Wu Renmin's blue and white can looks natural. Ordinary collectors can easily see it. Of course, if not, Wu Renmin would not have bought it.

Wu Renmin was surprised and asked, "boss Chu, do you mean to make color?"

Chu Chen nodded and said, "yes, it's color making. Look here..."

With that, he pointed out some old features and flaws on the blue and white cans one by one.

"Ah Wu Renmin listened to Chu Chen's explanation and sighed. His face was bitter and astringent, but his attitude was good. He soon adjusted it, and then asked Chu Chen to help him look at other things.

Wu Renmin was lucky. At the beginning, except for the blue and white pot, the other things he brought were all genuine. This made him feel relieved, but at the same time, there was some pain. In his words, I don't know when the remaining things will increase in value to make up for the loss of the blue and white pot.

Next, the last thing left was the brocade that Wu Renmin took out.

Wang Ming just saw that brocade and said in surprise: "this should be cloud brocade."

Wu Renmin slightly complacent said: "yes, it's Yunjin. This Yunjin is the harvest of my trip to the countryside."

Yunjin was produced in Jinling with a history of more than 1500 years. In the Yuan Dynasty, Yunjin became a special product for Royal costumes. Later, the brocade technology became more and more mature and perfect. In the Qing Dynasty, there were many varieties of Yunjin. Therefore, the Qing government set up "Jiangning weaving department" in Jinling, and the weaving of Yunjin was very popular.

Yun Brocade is mainly divided into four categories: Zhijin, Ku brocade, Ku satin and makeup flower. Among them, the production process of makeup flower is extremely complex. From pattern design, cross stitch and knot to material selection, dyeing, winding, threading, winding and machine operation, there are many complicated processes. The weaving of make-up flowers takes time and labor.

For a long time, the traditional weaving method of brocade has been retained. Each loom must be operated by jacquard and Weaver. Skilled workers can only weave brocade five centimeters long at the end of a busy day.

Pure gold and silver threads are also widely used in Yunjin weaving, together with colorful velvet thread, peacock down and other rare and precious brocade threads. This kind of exquisite material and cost-effective production is very rare in the textile industry, which also makes Yunjin magnificent and dazzling. As early as in ancient times, there was the metaphor of "inch brocade inch gold".In the yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, "Jinling Yunjin" was always a royal offering, which was monopolized by the government. For example, in the case of the Great Qing assembly ceremony written by Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, it is said that in the early years of Shunzhi, the Royal dress, the clothes of the four seasons, the court clothes of the palaces and the princesses and princesses were all handed over to Jinling according to the ritual Department.

For example, the emperor's Dragon Robe, as usual, was precisely designed and made by the first-class craftsmen of the Ruyi Museum at that time. After the emperor's approval, he sent a special messenger to Jinling. The weaving supervisor calculated the number of materials used in each process, and the number of employees used in each garment. After completion, he sent a special official to escort him back to Beijing on time.

For example, the brocade tails collected in Jinling Museum and Jinling Yunjin Research Institute as tributes include: "Jiangnan weaving minister Qinglin", "Jiangnan weaving minister Zengcong", "Jiangnan weaving minister 74", "Jiangning weaving bureau made in-house", "Jiangnan weaving bureau made in-house" And so on.

Wu Renmin's cloud brocade, for example, has left behind "Jiangnan weaving minister 74".

After seeing it, Chu Chen said, "boss Wu, how much did you pay for this brocade?"

"Thirty thousand dollars!" Wu Renmin made a proud gesture.

Seeing his friend's expression, Wang Mingcai frowned and said, "Lao Wu, don't buy anything you don't understand in the future."

Wu Renmin felt a little strange when he heard this: "why, it's brocade with makeup. Thirty thousand is still expensive!"

Wang Mingcai said: "although it's makeup, it's actually Hibiscus makeup."

Wu Renmin was not surprised: "what's the difference between this and makeup?"

Wang Mingcai explained: "Furong make-up also has colorful patterns on the satin bottom, but the color matching is not as complicated as the usual make-up flower and jinbaodi. The patterns of the two adjacent units in the same section are the same, and the color matching is also the same, just a few different colors are separated on the whole material."

"So the speed of weaving is faster. In the past, the pattern of this kind of make-up used hibiscus, so it's called" Hibiscus make-up. ". Later, although Hibiscus was not used, the fabric of this weaving method was still called "Hibiscus makeup". Your cloud brocade is woven in this way. "

"In addition, the most important point is that if I read it correctly, this cloud brocade should have been made in recent years. Boss Chu, am I right?"

Chu Chen nodded and said, "it's true..."

Speaking of this, he explained the basis of this judgment.

At last, the muscles on Wu Renmin's face twitched. After a while, he said, "is there really nothing good in the countryside?"

"It doesn't mean that there are no good things in the countryside, but there are few good things and many things in general."

Wang Mingcai said, "many people think that there are many good things hidden in the countryside. They generally think that the countryside was less impacted during that special period, and many things are still there. Secondly, antiques in the countryside have long been transferred from the landlords to the poor and lower middle peasants. The peasants don't know the goods and ask for low prices. In addition, farmers are honest and don't cheat. They can buy real things from them. "

"Therefore, many people go to the countryside, the more remote they are, the more they want to go. I think there might be treasure there. Lao Wu, you think so, too? "

Wu Renmin said with a smile, "I think so, but it's OK to think so, isn't it?"

"No! What a mistake

Wang Mingcai directly denied: "I deny it. I used to think so, but the actual situation is quite different from these reasons..."

Then, Wang Mingcai introduced his knowledge to Wu Renmin, and Chu Chen thought it was true.

No one dares to deny the existence of official porcelain in the countryside. It is true that some people bought a piece of Ru porcelain in the countryside and made a fortune. But in fact, as Wang Mingcai said, there are not many good things in the countryside, but there are few good things and many common things.

Most of the landlords in the countryside are very picky. There may be gold buried in their houses, but they are unlikely to have antiques. It is possible for them to spend money on antiques, but it is more difficult. After all, their cultural level is not high, and in their hearts, it is gold and silver that they want to keep their value.

There are no antiques in the homes of these landlords and rich people, so there are no antiques in the hands of the poor and lower middle peasants. This is most of the cases, and there are some special cases. There is something in some official families and scholarly families. These families are so famous that they already know how they can be given to the poor and lower middle peasants?

In addition, things in rural areas are generally not cheap. Why? Because the farmers in our country are too poor, they think that the only valuable things are those two jars, so they count on it. Can they sell it to you very cheaply? The more people asked him to buy, the more he did not dare to sell, and the higher the price he asked, because he did not understand the real value of the thing, so he had to raise the price sharply to avoid losing money.

Of course, Chu Chen can't deny that in the 1980s and 1990s, farmers sold things cheaply because they didn't see anything on the market. But now it's an era of information explosion. With the popularity of television and the Internet, most people know that antiques are selling at sky high prices. Farmers are not stupid. How can they sell things cheaply if they have something?In recent years, Chu Chen has known many shovels and collectors who love to travel in the countryside. They have not gained much, and sometimes the price is very high. If you don't believe it, it's more expensive to buy a folk kiln bowl in the country than the one on the stall in the city. This is because the farmers didn't know the difference between the official kilns and the civilian kilns, so the price of the civilian kilns went out according to the official kilns on TV.

Of course, because the farmers don't know the official kilns, if they happen to have official kilns in their families, they may sell them at a lower price. Chuchen has encountered this kind of thing two or three times, but as mentioned above, the farmers rarely have official kilns. Chuchen is lucky to have met them two or three times.

Finally, the more remote places you are, the less you should go. The more remote the place is, the poorer it is. The poorer the place is, the less valuable cultural relics and antiques there are. Even if the landlords are rich, they usually keep grain and a small amount of gold and silver. There is no doubt about this. Just imagine, people in that place used to be so poor that they couldn't afford to buy pants. Would they have money to buy antiques?

In addition, in places like this, special attention should be paid to safety. When people are poor, they are likely to do everything for money. If you ask people to buy antiques everywhere, they will think you have a lot of money with you. Don't you consider your personal safety? At the end of the day, don't buy antiques. Instead, you lose your money. If you lose your money, you can earn it back. What if you lose your life?

At last, Wu Renmin said, "Lao Wang, what you said is really reasonable, but not to mention other people, boss Liang went to the countryside to collect goods, so that he could get rich."

"It doesn't matter when boss Liang went to the countryside to receive goods."

Wang Mingcai said: "he began to go to the countryside to collect goods in the 1980s. At that time, he did not dare to accept them openly for fear of being caught by others. It was only after 1985 that everyone's mind was liberated that he was relieved. But you can't imagine the hardships."

"Moreover, the good times will not last long. In the 1990s, some unscrupulous people would make fake goods, and some unscrupulous people would transport fake goods to the countryside and put them in the farmers' homes, in the honest land reform roots' homes, and in the poor landlords' homes."

"Then make up a story and ask the land reform roots or landlords to recite it and tell them a price. They can't sell it without so much money. Then invite the emperor into the urn, waiting for the collectors in the city to come. At that time, boss Liang also suffered losses several times. If you don't believe that you have a chance next time, you can ask him yourself. "

When Wu Renmin heard this, he still didn't give up and said, "Lao Wang, don't you run to the countryside from time to time?"

Wang Mingcai said with a smile: "I do go to the countryside from time to time, but I've long been a spade. When I go to the countryside, I've been informed by the cable people. You think I'll go there in a swagger. It's strange not to step on land mines! Do you want to ask boss Chu if he will go to the countryside to see the goods without the informer's notice? "

Seeing Wu Renmin looking at himself, Chu Chen took over and said, "if there is no informant or familiar friend, I really dare not run to the countryside, otherwise I may be hit by a" landmine. ". You know, our collectors are smarter, and mine diggers seem to be smarter. "

"For example, aren't you Huang Binhong's hometown? He took the imitated early paintings of Huang Binhong as mines and put them in the farmer's home. If you go to investigate, the farmer's ancestors really came and went with Huang Binhong. Moreover, those paintings seem to have something special, and they were accidentally hit by thunder."

"In addition, those who bury mines also know how to suit the remedy to the case. They have already done in-depth investigation and Research on what collectors and things they like in an area. They are ready to prepare special mines to blow one by one. If you don't believe it, you can do an experiment. You can go to a strange country and show yourself to be rich, indicating that you want porcelain or something. "

"The first time, you can't see anything. After half a month, if you go there again, you may see a little thing. You shake your head and say it's too cheap. Half a month later, when you go there for the third time, you can see the official kilns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, even the five official kilns of the Song Dynasty
