    Hearing this, others didn't think much, but Zhou Wenping, who knew the market, shook his head slightly. If the jade cicada was full of blood, it might be worth forty or fifty thousand in terms of market prices, but in terms of quality  Relatively speaking, the possibility is not high. It would be worth 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.  If we go by the valuation of the superpower, then 50,000 yuan can be said to be a big profit. However, only Chu Chen himself knows this value now, and he cannot tell it, so in terms of the market, he will definitely not accept it.  The price, so he shook his head and said to Ma An: "Uncle Ma, your price is a bit outrageous. If there were enough red colors, it might be worth 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, but look at the appearance, the red part  Could it be more? If the quality is worse after processing, wouldn¡¯t I lose money? I¡¯ll give you a real price of 15,000, what do you think?¡± Ma An thought for a while and said, ¡°Maybe.  Wouldn't it be better if you just wiped it out? Besides, you're from the capital, so you won't be short of money. It's a bit too harsh to pay back fifteen thousand. What do you think of thirty thousand?" "Uncle Ma, my money?  It's not for nothing, 18,000, right?" Chu Chen said lightly.  Ma An pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth, and looked like he was at a disadvantage: "Let's do this. Let's each give in. Twenty-four thousand, you can take it if you want it." Twenty-four thousand, according to normal standards, is about the same, so Chu  Chen nodded and agreed, and Ma An was quite satisfied with the price. Seeing that the deal was completed, his face was immediately filled with a smile.  Next, there was still the brocade box left. Before Ma An opened it, he said to everyone: "This thing is really beautiful. If it weren't for nothing, I would definitely treat it as a family heirloom. After a while, the money will be short. I won't worry about it."  It will sell." Everyone didn't care when he said this. No one would say that their goods were not good at this time, otherwise how could they be sold at a high price.  However, when they saw the contents of the brocade box, they all showed expressions of admiration.  Inside the brocade box is an exquisite jade bowl with floral patterns. This jade bowl can be said to be as thin as paper, and the craftsmanship is meticulous and exquisite. At first glance, people will feel a sense of love for it.  Everyone watched carefully but couldn't put it down. When it was Chu Yulan's turn at last, she observed and praised: "This jade bowl made of jasper is really beautiful. It looks like it was made in the Qing Dynasty. Brother Chu is  No?" After seeing Chu Chen nodding, she begged: "Brother Chu, just give me this bowl. I want to give it to my mother. Do you think so?" To be honest, Chu Chen agrees.  He liked this jade bowl, but he was already satisfied with today's harvest. He always wanted his companions to taste the benefits, so he nodded and agreed.  Seeing this, Chu Yulan immediately happily discussed the price with Ma An.  "But seeing that she liked it so much, Ma An certainly wouldn't let it go easily. The price has gone up.  Therefore, in the antique business, when you see something you love, you must not express it, otherwise it will often cost a lot. Fortunately, Ma An did not know the true price of the jade bowl, and the two parties finally settled the deal for 80,000 yuan.  After reading everything, everyone made a contract, but they did not apply for a check, and Ma An could not ask for a check, so Zhou Wenping took them to a nearby bank to transfer money.  Fortunately, the bank was not too far away and they arrived in 20 minutes. After they finished the processing, they returned to Mrs. Zhou's house just in time for dinner.  After having enough wine and food, everyone drank tea and started chatting.  Chu Chen smiled and said to Chu Yulan: "Xiaolan, actually the jade bowl you bought today is not made of jasper from our country." When Chu Yulan heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded and said anxiously: "Brother Chu  , that is to say, this jade bowl is fake, why didn¡¯t you remind me, no! You told me clearly that it was made by the Qing Dynasty, you wouldn¡¯t lie to me, right?¡± Chu Chen said with a smile:  "Don't worry, I didn't say it was fake. Just ask Brother Zhou for details." Zhou Wenping said hesitantly, "Xiao Chen, the jade bowl you said Xiaolan bought is real."  Is that the job?" Seeing Chu Chen nodding, he smiled and said to Chu Yulan: "Xiaolan, you made a small fortune today. Take out that jade bowl and I will explain it to you.  "After hearing this, Chu Yulan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but now she was also curious about what Zhou Wenping said about making a small fortune.  Zhou Wenping opened the brocade box that had just been placed on the table, took out the jade bowl, and introduced to everyone: "Actually, this jade bowl should be a jade bowl imported from a foreign country, and the country where it was imported is called Hendu.  "Handustan" generally refers to northern India. After Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty pacified Xinjiang, a large number of exotic jade carving crafts produced in Muslim countries in Central Asia and northern India and jade articles produced as far away as Turkey were introduced in the Qing Dynasty.  It is "?"Hendustan" jade. "Hendustan" jade was deeply loved by Emperor Qianlong because of its paper-thinness and exquisite workmanship. The "Hendustan" jade was carefully polished and smooth, which catered to the needs of Emperor Qianlong.  This kind of aesthetic taste. Qianlong once declared that "there are many jade craftsmen in Zhuanzhu lanes in Suzhou, but they are not as beautiful as those made by Hetian jade traces. They are made by water grinding, and the flowers and leaves are clearly traced but there are no traces."  "The words. "This "Hundustan" floral and leaf pattern bowl is carved from the above fine jasper. The whole body is crystal clear and exquisitely crafted. The bowl wall is plain, with curled leaves and poppy flowers carved near the foot, and the flower center is  The gold wire is inlaid with rubies, and the jade bowl is exquisitely embellished with infinite charm. The two sides are symmetrically curled with leaf patterns, from the bottom to the mouth edge, and are rolled out into the shape of buds, which are double ears. The knife technique is smooth and natural, and the carving is fine and smooth.  The delicate and delicate shape of the bud is so vividly depicted that it is admirable. Emperor Qianlong once praised this kind of thin jade bowl in an imperial poem: "It looks like flowers and leaves, but there are no traces when you touch them. The outside and inside are round and round, and the color and shape are like."  Blend.  " This shows how precious it is. " Judging from its workmanship and other characteristics, it should be certain that it is a work from the mid-Qing Dynasty.  Therefore, such a beautifully crafted and flawless Hudostan jade bowl, which can be bought for RMB 80,000, is already worth every penny.  And you have to know that at that time, only 800 pieces of jade like this were sent as tribute from various places, so it is certain that the value will increase in the future.  "After listening to Zhou Wenping's words, even Chu Yulan, a lady with noble temperament, flushed with excitement. Although she usually sees many antiques with higher value than this, this jade bowl is hers.  After buying it, the feeling can be said to be completely different. Wen Yuting and Li Guodong on the other side were also envious and asked Chu Yulan to treat her. While she was happy, Sister-in-law Zhou's father on the other side readily agreed.  Then, he sighed: "I didn't expect such a small bowl to be so valuable.  " Aunt Zhou's mother happened to finish her housework and came out and said, "Old man, why don't you take out the bowl from our house and let Xiao Chu have a look?  "Sister-in-law Zhou was surprised when she heard this and said: "Dad, do we still have old people in our family? Why didn't I know?  " Zhou's father didn't answer her immediately. After thinking for a long time, he first asked Zhou's mother to get the bowl, and then said: "This thing was passed down from our ancestors. Originally, we wanted to wait a few years before passing it on.  You, but you are not in good health yet and are planning to live in the capital, so I will pass it on to you now. As for how to deal with it, it is up to you.  "    "dad!  " Hearing this, Zhou Wenping and his wife didn't know what to say, and Sister-in-law Zhou even shed tears. You must know that Sister-in-law Zhou's parents are just ordinary farmers. In order to treat Sister-in-law Zhou's illness and save food,  They were frugal and spent all their money on Sister-in-law Zhou, which made the originally not wealthy family even more depressed. Whenever they think of this, Zhou Wenping and his wife always feel sorry for them and can only be as filial as possible.  They, and now this situation, moved them even more. When Chu Chen and the others saw this, they were also deeply touched. From the behavior of Sister Zhou's parents, it can be seen that Chinese parents are so considerate and considerate to their children.  After about ten minutes, Sister-in-law Zhou¡¯s mother walked in with a shabby-looking cardboard box. Seeing this, Sister-in-law Zhou asked, ¡°Dad, what¡¯s wrong with our family heirloom.  Just put it in a cardboard box like this. What if it breaks and falls?  " Aunt Zhou's mother scolded: "It's disappointing to say that although this bowl was handed down from our ancestors, who knows if it is worth anything. It would be nice to have a box to put it in."  " Everyone smiled knowingly after hearing these simple words. After opening the box, they all looked inside. " Enamel color?  !  "When he saw what was inside, Li Guodong exclaimed. Many people at the scene who knew the value of enamel also showed surprise on their faces. Seeing everyone's reaction, Wen Yuting asked Li Guodong: "Guo Dong  Dong, what is enamel and why do you all look like this when I see it?  Li Guodong still had a look of surprise on his face and replied: "enamel color is a kind of tribute porcelain from the Qing Dynasty. As for why it is so precious, I know a little bit."  ¡± The official name of enamel-colored porcelain is porcelain-body painted enamel. It is a kind of finely painted porcelain specially made for the imperial use of the Qing Dynasty. Some products were also used to reward meritorious officials. According to the documents and archives of the Qing Palace Manufacturing Office, it is  Under the instructions of Emperor Kangxi, the enamel craftsmen of the Manufacturing Office successfully transplanted the technique of painting enamel on copper bodies to porcelain bodies to create a new variety of porcelain. Enamel color flourished during the Yongzheng and Qianlong years, and was a craft monopolized by the court.  Treasure. Required white porcelain.The tire was specially made by the Imperial Kiln Factory in Jingdezhen. After being transported to Beijing, it was painted and fired at the Qing Palace Manufacturing Office.  The required patterns were drafted by the Ruyi Pavilion of the Manufacturing Office, approved by the emperor, and then painted on the porcelain by the court painter.  Enamel-colored porcelain was created and fired in the late Kangxi period, and became very popular during the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods.  Although there was still a small amount of firing in the late Qing Dynasty, the firing place was no longer in the Qing Palace but moved to Jingdezhen.  In the early days of enamel, the ground color was first painted on the unglazed parts of the carcass, and then the flowers were painted. The presence of flowers but no birds is a major feature of it.
