Chapter 396: Modern Craft Zisha Teapot

After walking for about ten meters, Hu Tu's ears were full of advice such as "see more and buy less". For a moment, he only looked at the things in his hands and turned a deaf ear to the words passing by in the wind.

This thing, which is called "scented tube" by the seller, is made of spotted bamboo. The biggest feature of this kind of bamboo is that there are purple-brown or light brown spots on the pole. There is a word called "Xiangfei Spotted Bamboo", which means that Shun died in Cangwu, Xiang, and his two concubines cried bitterly, shook their tears, and the bamboo was covered with tears. This is called this kind of bamboo, so it is also called "Friends crying bamboo or tears on bamboo. Because of its special appearance, many people cultivate them for viewing.

If you look at the workmanship of the incense tube carefully, the bamboo pole is straight and has a deep and bright color. The word "play" is carved on it, which is both exquisite and time-honored. Although Hu Tu has never seen other incense tubes and cannot compare them, the workmanship, even if it is imitated, is worth 300 yuan. It is the word above, and I can't tell what it means.

He had already smelled the fragrance on the "scented tube" and felt very comfortable. He took a deep breath. The faint fragrance of spice mixed with the smell of bamboo itself and rushed into his nose. It was a light and comfortable smell. He thought to himself, "Could this incense tube be something similar to a sachet, and it looks pretty good."

Wang Pinqiu said several words but did not get Hu Tu's response. He pushed him with his elbow and said, "Why are you smirking? My grandfather talks to you, why do you feel as if you didn't hear it?"

Hu Tu came to his senses, and the words that were lingering in his ears just now were received by his brain. He handed the "scented tube" to Wang Pinqiu and said, "Sorry, I was so fascinated just now. Look, this thing is old."

"What do you mean?" Wang Pinqiu took the incense tube, looked at it with a flashlight, but didn't see any signs of it. He asked with a smile, "You are not trying to tell me that you picked up a leak as soon as you entered the door, right?"

She didn't know much about antiques and couldn't tell the truth or fake, so she handed the bamboo tube to Wang Mingchun. She was naturally confused, but she had some expectations. Based on her previous understanding of Hu Tu, the possibility of picking up a bargain when entering the door may not be zero. So, she stared at Wang Mingchun, hoping that he could give her an answer.

Wang Mingchun didn't agree. He didn't believe that someone could just enter the door, find a street stall, and touch something to pick up a bargain. If you want to pick up a bargain, it's all about pie falling from the sky. Even if you have the ability, how can you get so easily? So he looked while walking, his head was shaking slightly, but after a while, he suddenly stopped and said, "Hey, this work is very exquisite, it is definitely the work of a skilled craftsman. Could this style be the work of Suzuki Wanwanzhai?"

"Suzuki plays with a sai?" Wang Pinqiu asked, "Grandpa, are you talking about the famous bamboo weaving artist in the island country during the Meiji Showa period? This is impossible. He made bamboo weaving, and this thing is not bamboo weaving?"

Wang Mingchun nodded and said, "I can't tell you, either. It's possible that it's him. This person is good at using seemingly random scattered techniques to reflect the simple and unconventional temperament of bamboo utensils. This incense tube looks simple and elegant. Of course, even if it was not made by him, even if it was just copied yesterday, the incense tube itself is a work of art. It's worth buying it for 300 yuan!"

Hearing this, several people threw strange eyes at Hu Tu, as if they couldn't believe it was true. Their minds were like roller coasters. They thought Hu Tu's actions were very reckless, but now they found that the reckless result led to the road of peace and could not understand it.

But Hu Tu didn't have the joy she imagined. Since last trip to the island country, he had a bad impression of the island people. He said, "Why are you an islander? Then how much is this antique made with something, how much is it worth?"

Wang Mingchun pondered for a moment and replied, "If it were really a scent tube made by Suzuki Wanwanzhai, I guess it would be worth at least 200,000 to 300,000." Seeing that Hu Tu was not as happy as he imagined, he asked, "Why, are you not satisfied with this price?"

"It's not that I'm not dissatisfied with the price!" Hu Tu shook his head, "I want to sell it early, and I'm short of money recently."

Wang Pinqiu could understand Hu Tu's thoughts and said, "Hu Tu, do you think this is made by the islanders, so you don't like it?" Seeing Hu Tu nodding, she smiled and said, "Then I think you should change your mind. Think about it, the islanders stole us so much, and those things came to them, and they were all worshipped as national treasures. So when this happens, you should be happy. If you can get all the national treasures of the island countries, such as the Kusanagi Sword and the Yata Mirror, I will feel very honored for you."

Hu Tu smiled again when he heard this. Because he thought of the antiques in the lotus space, which were made from the home of Huitian Zhixiong in the island country. That action was as Wang Pinqiu said, and it was a happy thing. But he still didn't like this scented tube. He said, "If you look back, you'll sell this thing, otherwise I'll feel uncomfortable when I put it at home."

"It's okay to sell it." Wang Mingchun nodded, agreeing with Hu Tu's point of view, "Actually, it's nothing to have a incense tube. But young people like you really can't let their dignity be lost again because of such a thing. If you really feel uncomfortable, it's okay to sell it."

Going further, Wang Mingchun made much less mention of Hu Tu, because with that incense tube in front of him, as long as Hu Tu was not stupid and spread money, this trip would be profitable today.

Hu Tu was not as reckless as they thought at first. After buying the incense tube, he went shopping for a long time without buying anything else. For this reason, Wang Pinqiu also said that he was overkill. He seemed so reckless just now, but now he suddenly became too cautious.

But Hu Tu was also helpless. He picked up a vacant incense tube as soon as he came in. He thought there were many treasures here and it would be easy to pick up a vacant. Unexpectedly, after visiting for a long time, he didn't meet him. Only then did he realize that even if there were vacancy in Pan's home, he could not easily encounter it.

After spending a long time, Hu Tu was still empty-handed, and always felt that he didn't look like he was shopping. After all, it doesn't mean he couldn't buy anything. Moreover, things in Panjiayuan are not expensive. As long as you don't get killed by others, you can buy some good things at a slightly cheaper price.

Thinking about this, he walked to a place where he sold purple clay teapots and bought a helien pot. The buttons and body of the pot were made of evenly distributed tendons and petals, and were very exquisitely made. The price was 1,200 yuan, and he countered 800 yuan. This was the second item he bought today and also a 100% modern craft.
