"Go away, go in and take a look."
At this time, Yu Feibai also felt a little novel and immediately called Wang Guan into the Imperial Street. After passing the big archway, it was a simple and elegant loft. Judging from the name of the signboard, it was Fanlou.
At this time, Yu Feibai winked and said, "I know if Li Shishi is not there, just live in it."
"Thousands of years ago, it must have been inside. As for now, the ghosts don't know where they float." Wang Guan said angrily: "Let's go, there's an antique shop ahead, so go and take a look."
There are many antique shops along the way, but there are more craft shops, especially shops selling Bian embroidery, which gather many tourists to watch. The fine needlework is embroidered like a real scene in the hands of skilled craftsmen, and world-famous oil paintings and ancient Chinese paintings are embroidered to life.
The most famous one is of course Zhang Zeduan's Qingming River Map. When it is completed by subtle silk threads, it gives people infinite emotion. Such a long scroll of large embroidery is embroidered in detail, which naturally attracts many people to buy it at a high price. Whether it is treasured or placed in the living room as a symbol of wealth, auspiciousness and elegance, it is very meaningful.
"Get back and buy a few more pictures."
At the right time, Yu Feibai smiled and said, "Then give you a wedding gift."
"mean!"
Wang Guan naturally despised him very much.
"How well embroidered by others, it is magnificent and vivid, how can you say it is stingy?"
Knowing that Yu Feibai was deliberately confusing the public, Wang Guan was too lazy to pay attention to him. He walked straight a few steps faster, and there was a relatively large antique shop in front of him.
Speaking of which, Wang Guan hasn't visited antique shops for a while. After all, some time ago, for the tour of treasures and Mr. Zhu, he always ran around and wandered around. Naturally, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to go shopping.
As for now, it’s just a matter of taking a break from your busy schedule or trying your luck.
After all, Meng Jian only revealed the place name Kaifeng, which means that there must be some clues in Kaifeng. Maybe this is one of the three caves of Mr. Zhu Da’s cunning rabbits, but without definite information, he had to break around like a headless fly, hoping to find something.
At this time, the two walked into the antique shop and glanced at them. They saw that the store had a lot of things, including ceramic bottles, calligraphy and painting works, four treasures of the study, and even a few oil paintings.
How to say these things, they are so fake. After a look, Wang Guan couldn't help but shake his head. There are no antiques in this place, they are clearly modern handicrafts. However, considering that this is an antique commercial street, Wang Guan can express his understanding. After all, where there are strong commercial elements, there must be a mixture of fish and dragons, there are many fakes and few genuine ones.
"Two guys."
Just here, the owner came over with enthusiasm and said with a smile: "What are you interested in?"
"look in."
At the right time, Yu Feibai said casually: "Boss, your things here don't seem to be very good."
"Brother, look at what you said." The owner must be a little unhappy when he heard this: "Tell me, what's wrong with the things? I'm all good things, real treasures."
"Is that true?" Yu Feibai smiled, without any intention of refuting. Instead, he asked directly: "Do you have a firewood kiln here?"
"Chai Kiln?"
The owner was stunned and nodded, "Yes!"
While speaking, the shop owner actually walked back to the counter and put out a porcelain bottle.
"It's really a Chai Kiln?"
For a moment, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were both somewhat surprised.
"Of course it's Chai Kiln, it's definitely Chai Kiln. If not, one for fake one will compensate ten." The owner patted his chest with a certain expression on his face, which also made the two of them come over to watch with doubts.
At first glance, the porcelain bottle is extremely bright and beautiful, exuding a clear and simple color, which is indeed very beautiful. However, the light in it is very dazzling and lacks the most basic warm and luster of antique porcelain. So when you look at it, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai couldn't help but frown. What kind of Chai Kiln is this? It is clearly a newly made porcelain.
"Boss, are you kidding us?"
At the right time, Yu Feibai expressed his dissatisfaction directly: "We are not blind. If this is a Chai Kiln, a piece of Chai Kiln porcelain worth a thousand gold coins, then I will eat it directly."
"It's really a Chai Kiln."
At this time, the owner's eyes showed a bit of cunning: "However, it is definitely not the firewood kilns fired in ancient times, but the variety burned by our masters in the province. Very exquisite handicrafts representing our image of Kaifeng..."
"As expected," the two of them immediately realized when they heard this. The owner's heart was not dark, and his face was not thick enough to be as good as he was talking lies with his eyes open.
Although they had never been to Kaifeng before, they had indeed heard that some people in Henan Province tried to restore the Chai Kiln. However, the burned things were so imaginative that the legendary Chai Kiln was not clear about it due to the lack of intuitive comparison.
However, it is undeniable that the "Chai Kiln" porcelain carefully fired with modern technology has even been recognized by experts in the province through the State Patent Office, which is enough to show that this "Chai Kiln" porcelain must have some tricks. At least it can be confirmed that the level of this kind of handicraft is not low and the quality is guaranteed.
Since the owner said it was open, the two of them were disappointed and carefully watched the porcelain bottles on the table.
The Chai Kiln in the Five Dynasties period was known as green as the sky, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and sound like a chime. Green as the sky refers to the glaze color. Legend has it that Chai Rong, the Zhou Shizong, ascended the throne, needed to fire a batch of porcelain as tribute sacrificial vessels according to convention. The people below did not know Chai Rong's preferences, so they asked him for instructions on what specifications and colors the porcelain needed to be burned.
Chai Rong was also very elegant, and he directly stated that after the rain, the sky was clear and the clouds were broken, and the color was like the future. The ancient ones were modern, which meant to make porcelain according to the color of the sunny day after rain.
This is the origin of Qing Ru Tian, and Ming Ru Xiao Mi refers to the brightness of Chai Kiln porcelain, just like a mirror, very clear and can clearly reflect the scenery.
As for as thin as paper and sound like a chime, of course, it refers to the thickness of the carcass and its tightness. After all, only if the carcass is tight can the sound like a bell and chime bell can be played.
Obviously, the characteristics of the porcelain bottle in front of me are basically consistent with the legendary Chai Kiln, so it is no wonder that the shop owner dares to take it out with confidence. Putting aside other things, from the perspective of handicrafts, the things are really good and have a certain value. If you buy them back, it can not only be used as an ornamental item, but also a good antique if you can collect them for one or two hundred years.
"The premise is that I can live to two hundred years old." Yu Feibai muttered, and then shook his head and said, "Boss, don't use this to fool people. We want to buy real Chai Kiln porcelain."
"Brother, not only do you want it."
At this time, the store owner smiled and said, "If you go out, ask casually, who doesn't want it? But there are some things that you don't want if you want. If you can't buy them, it's good to ask for a substitute."
The last sentence was to betray the owner's mind and still working hard to sell porcelain bottles.
"Forget the substitute." Yu Feibai shook his head and said, "I bought a lot of them, and the house is full."
"That's it." The owner thought about it and carefully carried the porcelain bottle back. Then he took out another scroll: "Brother, in Kaifeng, there are not only firewood kilns. There are also many rare things, such as this Qingming Festival map..."
Hearing this, Yu Feibai said nothing, didn't even say hello, and turned around and left.
"Sorry, I suddenly had something urgent..." Wang Guan smiled and said something on the spot. He followed him.
As soon as he left the house, he heard Yu Feibai complaining in a low voice: "Is this an antique shop or an antique shop?"
"No matter what kind of store it is," Wang Guan said casually: "Aren't you shouting over here? Besides, the owner is quite kind, at least it means that the things are handicrafts."
"Nonsense, it's Chai Kiln and the Qingming Festival. Who doesn't know it's a handicraft?" Yu Feibai snorted: "Whoever takes it seriously is the real big fool."
"Okay, don't complain." Wang Guan shook his head and said, "Actually, the owner of the shop is right. It's not just you who are looking for a firewood kiln alone. If you can find it casually, it's not a legendary thing."
"Yes." Yu Feibai was immediately excited: "Let's go, keep walking, don't expect to discover the Chai Kiln at once, but maybe there are other good things."
As it turns out, Yu Feibai's words are really effective. After shopping in Songdu Yujie, he really didn't find Chai Kiln, but the two of them also found a few good gadgets.
It's really just a gadget, the best thing is a fan bone, an old fan bone from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.
An elegant plum blossom was carved on the fan bone, which was very different. The store knew that it was an antique, so it directly offered 10,000 yuan. After a bargaining, it was sold for 3,000 yuan. The fan bone was also a niche collection. Although it was in the space for appreciation, 3,000 yuan was considered the end.
However, Yu Feibai was a little happy after paying the money. Because the material of the fan bone was unusual, it was not ordinary bamboo and wood, but boxwood. The owner could not recognize it, and regarded it as ordinary bamboo and wood. He only calculated the years and ignored the material, but made Yu Feibai pick up a small leak.
Yu Feibai must be very happy about this. When he was happy, he immediately shouted to treat him, and then took Wang Guan to Kaifeng's most luxurious restaurant to eat and drink. The money spent was several times that of the bargain, which was obviously not enough to make ends meet.
However, for a wealthy rich man like Yu Feibai, this is a normal situation. One code is to refine one code. Picking up a bargain is to pick up a bargain, and eating, drinking and having fun is to calculate money in addition, and it cannot be confused.
No matter what, the first day I arrived in Kaifeng, passed like this. There was no surprise or any particularly big surprise. It was plain and as expected.
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Wang Guan woke up Yu Feibai who was still sleeping in. After washing up, he settled for breakfast in a nearby teahouse and ate the delicious soup dumplings from Kaifeng. After eating the hot soup, the two of them immediately felt warm and their spirits were boosted.
"What should I do next?"
