Chapter 168 Tribute Duan Inkstone

"Brother Ye, do you like this?" (Dingdian Novel hand-written novel)

Liu Meisheng was asking, and he glanced at Ye Huan quietly. He now knew that this young man had an extraordinary eye for antiques, since the object he was interested in should be pretty good. But he had spoken at the beginning.

, there is no way to repent now.

In addition, I have indeed asked others to appreciate the objects in this warehouse, and I have already hidden the valuable objects for myself. The remaining things are not that big of a deal. Since the other party wants them, I might as well

At once

Thinking of this, Liu Meisheng smiled and said: "Since Brother Ye likes it, just take it. Although this thing is not bad, it is not worth much money. I have asked experts in the circle and they are only worth a

It’s a matter of tens of thousands of dollars. If you take this little thing, even if your brother comes to Kunzhou City and the third brother gives you a small gift, don’t be surprised.”

"Are you surprised? Haha, third brother is joking."

Ye Huanxi said with a smile: "Brother, I will just thank the third brother, thank you, thank you haha".

When Liu Meisheng saw the other party smiling so happily and seemingly unable to close his mouth, he felt a little confused. After several phone calls with Hou Qun, he knew that the young man opposite him looked unattractive, but in fact he was a normal person.

Rich man.

Unlike people like himself, outsiders think that he has a lot of industries, and the five-star hotel is indeed jealous of others. But Liu Meisheng knows that these things look beautiful, but in fact they earn a lot of money, but they cost a lot.

There is also a lot of money coming out, and it is not as glamorous as it seems to outsiders.

But Ye Huan is different. This guy's property is all dry stuff, without water at all. If the other party is already a wealthy man with hundreds of millions of assets, it doesn't matter if he gives him tens of thousands of dollars.

Are you so happy with this money-based inkstone? Is it really like what people say, if this poor man is used to it, seeing any valuable things is a good thing? He won't be so poor?

Muttering secretly in his heart, Liu Meisheng glanced at Ye Huan secretly and asked with a smile: "Brother Ye, seeing how happy you are, could it be that the third brother's square inkstone has some origin? No way?".

Although Ye Huan was secretly having fun at this time, he was afraid that if he told the origin of the Fang Inkstone, Liu Meisheng would regret it, or that the other party would think that he had suffered a big loss and would give him other questions.

If you let yourself do it, it's better not to say anything and let this guy be confused.

Ye Huan could also guess in advance that Liu Meisheng must have found someone to appreciate the items in his hand. But he didn't know if the person he was looking for didn't understand the market, or was a half-hearted person who actually bought this top quality item.

I missed the green-duan inkstone as an ordinary item. I deserve to make another small fortune.

Among the four treasures of the study, the inkstone is one of them, and among the four famous inkstones produced in my country, the Duan inkstone is especially famous. The famous poet Zhang Jiucheng of the Song Dynasty once wrote a poem praising: "The ancient Duanxi inkstone is a wonder in the world, and the purple flowers spit out rainbows in the middle of the night. "Ni". From this, we can see that Duan Inkstone has a long history, excellent stone quality, and its exquisite carvings.

The stones for Duan inkstones are produced in Lanke Mountain in the east of Zhaoqing City and Beiling Mountain in the north of Qixingyan in Zhaoqing City. In particular, the inkstone stones in Laokeng, Mazikeng and Kengzaiyan are the best. Now Ye Huan has obtained

It is an authentic Duan inkstone made from Laokeng material.

There is actually a rather beautiful legend about this Duan Inkstone. It is said that one day in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, an old inkstone worker was passing by Duanxi River and saw two cranes flying down into the stream. They did not get up for a long time, so he was heartbroken.

Being suspicious, he set up a net to catch him, but what he found was a stone.

However, this stone was very strange. There were cracks on it, and it made the sound of cranes from time to time. The old inkstone worker followed the cracks to pry open the strange stone. The strange stone actually split into two and turned into two inkstones. There was a crane on each side of the inkstone.

Standing on the pine trees.

As the news spread, inkstone craftsmen imitated it one after another, or showed off their skills and carved various patterns on the inkstone. This was probably the beginning of Duan inkstone turning from a practical product into a practical handicraft.

The green end is not simply green, in fact it is emerald green, a bit like the color of jasper or emerald. The top quality duan inkstones are mostly blue-purple, pig liver color, or sky blue, and those with phoenix eyes or parrot eyes on them

It belongs to the top grade, and those with emerald green eyes are the most rare.

Whether it is Laokeng inkstone, Mazikeng inkstone, or Songkeng inkstone, it is of high quality, and it is often accompanied by ice patterns, rouge halos, horsetail patterns, gold line patterns, or single patterns, or both.

, through the hands of famous sculptors, combined on the inkstone to present a magnificent and colorful painting.

Since the early Tang Dynasty, Duan Inkstone has gradually become Zhaoqing's unique arts and crafts, deeply loved by literati, and appreciated by dignitaries, emperors and generals. Until the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the royal family classified Duan Inkstone as "

After "tribute", Duan Inkstone officially became famous at home and abroad.

With this thought in his mind, Ye Huan smiled carelessly and said: "Third brother, look at what you said, this thing costs tens of thousands of dollars anyway. Third brother, you give it to me for free. I

Shouldn't you be happy to get such a good thing? Haha."

But Liu Meisheng is a standard old fox, and he is not that easy to fool. Looking at the bright smile on Ye Huan's face, the old fox felt more and more that things were not as simple as he originally thought. He asked doubtfully: "Brother,

Wouldn't it be nice for you to tell Third Brother about this thing so that Third Brother and I can gain some experience? Although this green end is good, there are quite a lot of it on the market. The price is so high that it only costs ** 10,000 yuan. As for this

Are you so happy?".

Ye Huan saw the old fox's appearance of breaking the pot and asking for the truth. He knew that this guy was a thief, so he smiled and said: "Third brother, it seems that you usually don't pay attention to the four treasures of the study, but I did.

A lot of these things. Let me tell you, this is it

This Duan Inkstone has always been the first of the four famous inkstones in my country, and it has been the favorite of many ancient poets and poets. Not only has the Duan Inkstone been very valuable in ancient times, but also because of the exhaustion of inkstone materials in several famous pits, all the famous pits have been "closed" in recent years. "Pit", especially the old pit has been sealed for many years, there is almost no stone to be mined.

As for all other famous pits: including Laokeng, Mazikeng, Kengziyan, Meihuakeng, Songkeng, etc., the value of Duan inkstones is rising day by day, and these raw materials have become more and more precious.

Third brother, now you know? Although this Duan Inkstone is not worth much money now, the price of this thing will definitely increase a lot in the future. Brother, I have made a profit today, haha, thank you third brother."

Liu Meisheng listened to Ye Huan's introduction and nodded slowly, seemingly thinking about something. In fact, although he did not know the details of the things Ye Huan introduced, he had also inquired about some, especially those in the market.

He still knows the market situation, and it doesn't feel as evil as Ye Huan said.

He knew that the reason why the Duan Inkstone pits were closed now was due to tunnel blockage, landslides, and government protection. The pits were closed and mining was stopped. Inkstone resources were becoming less and less. Almost all inkstones sold on the market are made of inkstone materials that were mined in the past.

Yes, if you sell one piece, you will lose one piece. Therefore, the collection value of Duan Inkstone will become higher and higher, and the appreciation potential will also become greater and greater because of this.

But despite saying this, after all, there is still a lot of this material on the market, so there seems to be no need to be so happy? The old fox felt in his heart that the guy opposite him probably didn't confess to him, and he was thinking in his mind a little depressed

Ye Huan knew that the old fox across from him was probably a little suspicious, but he definitely didn't know the preciousness of this square inkstone now, so he could only feel depressed.

Thinking of the little tricks the old fox had played before, Ye Huan couldn't help but feel proud. He thought to himself, he couldn't reveal Luduan's secret to the old fox now, otherwise, he might regret it.

Ye Huan held the Fang Duan Inkstone in his hand, fearing that he would accidentally bruise this precious thing. He secretly suppressed the joy in his heart and tried to tighten the corners of his mouth that he tried to raise.

He despised Liu Meisheng in his heart and said: Although this Fang Duanyan has no money and no knowledge, he is even better than those famous Duan inkstones who have money and knowledge. This guy doesn't know the goods, so he should make a fortune by himself, haha

What Liu Meisheng doesn’t know is that not only is our government now restricting the purchase of raw materials for Duan inkstones, but restrictions on the purchase of raw materials have happened many times since ancient times. Since Duanshi has been a valuable inkstone talent since ancient times, strict control has been adopted in all dynasties.

Measures include sealing pits after official mining. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, troops have been responsible for guarding the pits. However, civilian thieves have always been difficult to stop, but the output is not much.

In the Song Dynasty, after the royal family listed Duan Inkstone as a tribute, the people were in short supply, and the price skyrocketed. The trend of stealing Duan Inkstone materials gradually became popular.

At the end of the Song Dynasty, due to unfavorable government supervision, official banditry became more and more popular. The most famous one was Xiong Tongwen, a general stationed in Guangdong and Guangxi during the Song Dynasty. He did not hesitate to destroy Shikeng mineral veins and quarry them. The Duanshi produced at this time was called "Xiongkeng".

Although the absence of urban management in ancient times could not stop Xiong Wencan's barbaric construction, the quality of the end stones produced by the "Xiong Pit" was extremely high.
