The antique shop where Wang Ding interns is near Zhongshan Road, close to the pedestrian street, and behind it is the Flower, Bird, Insect and Fish Market. When choosing the location here, Boss Cai also felt that being close to the Flower, Bird, Insect and Fish Market has a cultural atmosphere, and being close to the pedestrian street, there are consumer groups. It has the best of both worlds.
Or, the antique shop's business should be pretty good.
After passing through the flower and bird market, Wang Ding also came to the place where he worked as an intern, Guxiangzhai.
In addition to the boss Cai Shida, those who work at Guxiangzhai also have two guys who have been working there for several years, one is named Jin Long and the other is named Li Yifeng.
In addition, there are two seniors who are new interns like me. I heard from Boss Cai that among these three interns, only one can stay and continue working at Guxiangzhai.
As for the other two interns, one is named Xiao Yu and the other is named Mu Tianlan. Xiao Yu is the most outstanding among the three. The outstanding ability is not this boy's super learning ability in appreciation, but his outstanding ability.
Good at pleasing leaders and old colleagues.
He kept stuffing cigarettes for the two old guys and often flattered Cai Shida, making this guy the most favored among the three.
This girl Mu Tianlan is different. She looks okay, but she is cold, and she basically doesn't know how to do things that are not her job. She is taciturn on weekdays, and she always treats old colleagues and bosses with contempt.
Looking at those almond-shaped eyes, Wang Ding couldn't understand why Boss Cai hadn't driven away such a person earlier.
However, Wang Ding later heard through the grapevine that Mu Tianlan's uncle seemed to know Cai Shida, so Xiao Mu should be considered a nepotist.
In this society, if you don’t have the ability, you must have connections. Without connections and abilities, it’s good to be able to please the leader. But it is true that Wang Ding does not have these points. So he is also generally considered by Gu Xiangzhai The master of get out of class.
Twenty days have passed in the current month, and there are still ten days left. Wang Ding originally thought of just hanging around, as there is no place for him to stay, he has his own place to stay.
Guxiangzhai…
Li Yifeng and Jin Long were taking a lunch break. Xiao Yu was cleaning on the counter. His cleaning was very simple. He just took a piece of cloth and wiped it on the antiques. Mu Tianlan was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed.
Holding the phone, it seems like reading a novel.
"Hey, Wang Ding is back. What is that thing you are holding in your arms?"
Xiao Yu's eyes were very ruthless. This kid was tall and tall, nearly 1.8 meters tall. From afar, Xiao Yu saw Liu Yezun in Wang Ding's arms. Wang Ding continued to hug Liu Yezun into his arms. Yes.
He smiled honestly and said, "A treasure. By the way, is Boss Cai in the back room?"
"Oh, you want to ask Boss Cai to give you a look. But from what I see, you should wait until the senior brothers wake up to show you, lest Boss Cai get angry after seeing it. You know, Cai
The boss is very busy."
Wang Ding didn't want to talk to Xiao Yu at all, so he planned to go into the back room to find Cai Shida directly. But when Xiao Yu saw that Wang Ding was turning a deaf ear to his words, he rolled his eyes at Wang Ding and said, "Don't listen to good people, or you will suffer a loss.
In front of you."
Xiao Yu deliberately raised the decibels, and Jin Long and Li Yifeng, who were resting, also woke up one after another. It turned out that Xiao Yu yelled loudly to wake up the two senior brothers, and then the three of them ridiculed Wang Ding together. Normally, the three of them would
This is often the case.
"Oh, why are you making such a fuss at noon?"
Jin Long complained, and Xiao Yu innocently lowered his voice and said, "Brother Jin is awake. I told Wang Ding to lower his voice, but he didn't listen. He took a bottle of some kind and went to the back room.
I'm looking for Boss Cai. I asked him to call you to see it first, but he's still unwilling. He clearly doesn't believe in your strength."
"Ahem."
Mu Tianlan couldn't stand it any longer. Before Wang Ding could defend himself, Mu Tianlan protested first.
Only then did Xiao Yu realize the presence of Mu Tianlan, and added, "Of course, my voice is also a little higher."
Hearing Xiao Yu say that Wang Ding got a bottle, Jin Long's eyes shifted to Wang Ding. "Liuye Zun bottle?"
Without taking a closer look at the bottle, Jin Long asked first.
"Wang Ding, where did you get that bottle?"
"I bought it from a street stall." Wang Ding said bluntly.
"How much?" Jin Long continued to cross-examine, as if interrogating a prisoner.
"Two hundred dollars."
"Pfft"
When he heard Wang Ding say two hundred yuan, Xiao Yu had already laughed and slapped his thigh fiercely. Xiao Yu even grinned and scolded, "I said Wang Ding, are you crazy about wanting to get rich? At the street stall
The broken bottle I bought for two hundred yuan is now a treasure, and you still want to show it to Boss Cai? Just save it. Brother Jin, let’s ignore him. I really have nothing to say about this kid. He
It’s really weird.”
Xiao Yu repeatedly pulled Jin Long's arm, but Jin Long, who originally wanted to take a closer look at Liuye Zun, took back his steps.
On the other hand, Li Yifeng on the side was not in a hurry to express his opinion. He was a little different from the people here. Although he usually made some sarcastic comments about Wang Ding, he was not targeted. He only dealt with the situation and not the person.
He is also the only person who Wang Ding thinks treats him well. "Brother Li, why don't you help me palm your eyes first. I didn't bother you when I saw you sleeping just now."
Wang Ding took Liu Yezun out of his arms, and the next second he pushed it in front of Li Yifeng, and took Liu Yezun's hand from Wang Ding. Li Yifeng also quickly walked back to the counter.
Taking out a magnifying glass as big as the palm of his hand, Li Yifeng began to take a photo of the body of the Liuye Zun bottle. Here, Li Yifeng was in the palm of his hand, and outside Guxiangzhai, Xiao Yu and Jin Long were puffing away at the smoke.
In the ancient Xiangzhai, the magnifying glass was removed, Li Yifeng put away his bowed body, and looked at Wang Ding with deep meaning, "The color is clear and moist, and the feel is also very good. It can be concluded that it is indeed a cowpea red willow leaf statue fired at a high temperature.
There is no problem with the Kangxi year mark of the Qing Dynasty. Are you sure you bought this thing from a street stall for 200 yuan?"
"Yes. It's a pity that there is no invoice at that place, otherwise I can show it to Brother Li."
Li Yifeng picked up the magnifying glass again and looked at Liu Yezun carefully, clicking his tongue from time to time.
"The body of this statue is round and smooth, and the gloss is also very good. In the Qing Dynasty, many cowpea red willow leaf statues were fired, and the blue and white regular script on the base also proves this. It is a genuine cowpea red willow leaf statue." Li Yifeng
The last sentence is the final word.
Xiao Yu and Jin Long, who were smoking outside the house, had actually been paying attention to the situation in the house. They suddenly heard Li Yifeng's conclusion that the Liuye Zun was authentic. Xiao Yu felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor mixed bottle. "It's authentic, it's impossible."
Brother Jin, did Brother Li make a mistake? You go to Palm Eye?"
…
It is indeed possible that Li Yifeng was wrong. Because he had just woken up from his lunch break, it was inevitable that his eyes would be covered with sand.
However, Jinlong still has some confidence in Li Yifeng's appreciation ability. Normally, he shouldn't be able to look at him.
"Let's go and take a look."
Jin Long walked quickly towards the house, throwing the Chinese cigarette that he had not finished smoking in the air.
Entering the house, Jin Long went directly to the bottle of Liu Yezun and lay down on the counter. Jin Long's eyes were fixed on the bottle.
Jinlong was surprised by the luster of the Liuye Zun. After five years of art appreciation, Jinlong has appreciated thousands of treasures, including genuine and fake ones. He also encountered Liuye Zun bottles.
"Xin Yu, get my magnifying glass."
Under normal circumstances, Jin Long would not use a magnifying glass. His habit was to take out the magnifying glass and take a closer look when he thought something might be genuine.
Xiao Yu handed the magnifying glass to Jin Long's hand, and his heart suddenly beat.
"Brother Jin, is it possible that this is really Liu Ye Zun? How did it know that it is Liu Ye Zun? There is no mark on it?"
It cannot be said that Xiao Yu knows nothing about appreciation, but he does lack theoretical knowledge. Jin Long will simply use real objects to educate Xiao Yu.
"The willow leaf vase we have had no name before. It is called the "willow leaf vase" because its shape is slender like a willow leaf. It is also called the "beauty shoulder" because it is delicate and beautiful like a graceful lady.
What's applied
The bean red glaze is extremely thick, moist and bright, and the color is elegant and pleasant, just like a peach blossom. Its delicate beauty is indescribable. The changes in shades make people feel the infinite charm of the kiln's fire god. It is called the lord of porcelain, called Willow Leaf.
Respect."
"Oh. So is this thing really authentic?"
"this?"
Jin Long was a little unsure. It was indeed the same as Wang Ding's original question. The impact on Liu Ye Zun's body made Jin Long a little unsure.
"Look at this willow leaf vase. It has a perfect shape and rough texture. There is no problem with the inscription "Made in the Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty" on the bottom. If there is no such mark, it must be authentic, but this mark appears.
There are many possibilities.”
"Chong? Brother Jin, are you talking about this small crack?"
Xiao Yu pointed to a glaze crack on the Liu Ye Zun bottle.
"Yes. In our collecting circle, there are some terminology for collecting. The glaze crack you see is simply called flushing. There are many situations where the so-called flushing occurs. Some of them will also directly affect the value of porcelain. Even in some old mills
Improper handling of porcelain often leaves glaze cracks."
Wang Ding knows what Jin Long said. The so-called glaze cracks, that is, the occurrence of glaze cracks, can occur in several situations. First, when the porcelain is fired, the porcelain cracks naturally. This is due to the craftsmanship and the value of the porcelain is natural.
It decreases after leaving the kiln. The most common thing is that later porcelain collides with other objects and slips. As long as the cracks are not long, the impact on the value of the porcelain will not be too great. Wang Ding also knows this through perspective observation.
The emergence of the collision is caused by the collision in the later period.
"Brother Jin, what you are saying is that this Liuye Zun is from the old workshop and is not a genuine one."
Xiao Yu felt a little happy in his heart. After listening to Li Yifeng's words, Xiao Yu was very depressed, thinking that this boy would be proud of himself now. Who knows that there is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers.
"Yes, that's why I think this is the Liuye Zun from Jiufang. Another basis is the origin of this thing. Wang Ding bought it at a street stall for 200 yuan. If it is really authentic, it cannot be there.
It had been left on the street stall for so long without anyone picking it up, and finally it was taken away by the apprentice Wang Ding."
"Yes, why didn't I think of that?" Xiao Yu clapped his hands in agreement and glanced at Wang Ding angrily. "Brother Jin really hit the nail on the head and got to the key of the problem, like Brother Li
Of course what he said is not wrong, but Brother Li ignored this thing
Source: How could a street stall worth 200 yuan be a Liuye Zun vase from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty? Brother Li, I usually support you. But this time, I have to side with Brother Jin. I also feel this
The things are old imitations. It’s impossible for him, Wang Ding, to pick up such a big leak."
How could Xiao Yu be on Jin Long's side? Every word he spoke was aimed at Wang Ding.
"Xin Yu, I don't care whose side you are on. Anyway, in my opinion, this Liuye Zun bottle is genuine."
"Then my judgment is that it is an old copy." Jin Long also expressed his position.
"Brother Jin and I agree, it's definitely an old imitation! I don't believe that Wang Ding can buy a genuine Liuye Zun." Xiao Yu rolled his eyes at Wang Ding, and he was also confident.
"Really? Xiao Yu, if I, Wang Ding, buy a genuine Liu Ye Zun, I will bet you that this is a genuine Liu Ye Zun. Do you dare?"
When Wang Ding was in Guxiangzhai, he always didn't want to talk to Xiao Yu. Normally, he would just let him ridicule him a few times. But over time, this grandson really thought that he was easy to bully. On normal days, Wang Ding didn't understand
Collecting it, I just tolerated it. Today, he found a treasure, and he was still so arrogant. Wang Ding couldn't suppress the fire in his heart.
"Dare, what dare I not do? Why are you betting? I have plenty of money." Xiao Yu said disdainfully.
"Money? Haha, gambling is no fun. If you want to come, let's do something exciting."
"Okay, it's exciting. What do you want to bet on? I'll just accompany you."
Wang Ding strolled forward, looking a little excited. "In this Guxiangzhai, you and I have a one-month internship period. You and I understand very well that after one month, some of us will have to leave.
One person stays. Since there is only one person left, let's bet on the authenticity of this willow leaf vase. You say it is an old imitation, I say it is genuine. The wrong one will get out of Guxiangzhai immediately.
How about it?"
Xiao Yu was calm and collected at first, but in the end, Xiao Yu never expected that this guy Wang Ding would place the bet. He was a little panicked, but Xiao Yu calmed down and looked for confidence in Brother Jinlong.
Seeing Jin Long nod deeply, Xiao Yu felt that he had a clue.
"Okay, since you want to get out of Guxiangzhai as soon as possible, then don't blame me for being unkind. Just bet on the authenticity of this willow leaf vase. I said it is an old imitation."
"Then I'll say it's genuine." Wang Ding said with a simple and honest smile. "Since the bet has been made, then Brother Jin, Brother Li, including Mu Tianlan, you are all witnesses. I think now Xiao Yu and I can invite Boss Cai
It’s out. Naturally, I think Boss Cai can see through the authenticity of Liu Yezun, he has this vision, so what do you think, Xiao Yu?”
"Me? Of course I think Boss Cai has the strength."
As Xiao Yu spoke, he murmured in his heart. Normally, Wang Ding was not so aggressive. But today, he seemed to have Shang Fang's sword, and his whole body was radiating light. Could it be that,
This boy's willow leaf vase is really authentic.
"etc."
Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly turned, and he stopped Wang Ding, who was about to invite Boss Cai.
