    Chu Chen put the bowl on the table and said to Wen Xuelan: "This should be a blue and white Yunlong bowl fired by the official kiln during the Yongzheng period. The workmanship is quite fine. If it is complete, it should be around 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, but because it has been  It's rough and has some slight damage, so it must be discounted." Wen Xuelan quickly asked: "How much more can it cost?" Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "Based on the current price of this bowl.  The extent of the damage is about 30,000, how about it? " He has calculated this price based on the highest purchase price in the current market. If he buys it back at this price, it won't be much more than 30,000 if he sells it now.  Of course, judging from the market price of antiques, it will definitely increase in the future, but it is impossible to let him buy this bowl at the future price. There must be a limit to good deeds, otherwise it will be over if he just gives money away.  "Well, I think it's good, and my grandma will probably agree." This bowl is worth thirty thousand, which is indeed an unexpected surprise for Wen Xuelan, but when she thinks of something that could have been worth fifty or sixty thousand, because of preservation  It was inappropriate and nearly half of it was damaged, which made her feel quite distressed.  After a while, Mrs. Wen came in with a cloth bag. As soon as she came in, she eagerly asked the price of the bowl. When she heard that it was 30,000, she couldn't help but be happy. Of course, Chu Chen didn't tell her the original price.  The price, otherwise she would definitely feel more distressed than Wen Xuelan.  "Young man, see if you need any of these things." Old Mrs. Wen took out the items in her pocket one by one and placed them on the table.  However, the first thing made several girls present startled. Cheng Wanhui almost screamed out in fright. She is usually most afraid of snakes, frogs, spiders and the like, but in front of her was a toad.  .  "Grandma, where did you find this thing? It scared me to death." Wen Xuelan said, patting her chest.  Mrs. Wen smiled and said: "What's so scary about this thing? When your grandfather was still alive, he often used it to hold water." Chu Chen chuckled and said: "Grandma Wen is right, this thing is a study supplies.  The water in it is a kind of vessel used to hold water. "Zhao Heyan frowned and said, "Since it is made to hold water, why should it be made into such an ugly toad?"  She didn't like the toad very much either.  Chu Chen explained with a smile: "This toad is not simple. I wonder if you have heard of the allusion of "bangs playing with golden toad"?" The allusion of bangs playing with golden toad is also a household name. Of course Zhao Heyan and the others have heard of it.  .  Legend has it that Liu Hai, a disciple of Lu Dongbin, had great skills and liked to travel around the world.  Conquer demons and demons, and benefit the world through charity.  One day, he subdued the golden toad demon who had been harming the people for many years. In the process, the golden toad was injured and one of his legs was broken off, so he only had three legs left in the future.  From then on, Jin Chan surrendered to Liu Hai's sect in order to atone for his sins.  The golden toad uses its unique skills to bite into gold and silver treasures, helping Liu Hai benefit the world, help the poor, and spread money.  So people called it the Lucky Toad.  "Cousin, you said this thing is a golden toad? Isn't it too ugly?" "It turns out that it's not ugly at all. This golden toad should be made of gilded copper, but it's not well maintained.  The gilding has all come off, which is why it looks like this now. If it were gilded again, it would definitely look much better than it does now," Chu Chen said with a smile.  "Brother Chu, why does my golden toad have four legs?" At this time, Cheng Wanhui asked curiously.  Chu Chen was stunned and said: "How can a golden toad have four legs? Is it common sense that a golden toad has three legs?" Cheng Wanhui said awkwardly: "Well, my dad invited a golden toad back the day before yesterday. It has four legs.  Zhao Heyan laughed when she heard this and said, "Needless to say, your dad must have been deceived by others again. Xiaohui, your dad is stupid enough. He always has a bad memory. What did he spend tens of thousands on last time?"  "Lucky Dragon Turtle", I showed it to my dad when I came back. It was just a handicraft worth a few hundred yuan. This time I bought a four-legged golden toad. My dad would probably die laughing after hearing this. " "Xiaoyan, don't do this.  Talk about my dad, and I won¡¯t pay attention to you anymore.¡± Seeing the attitude of the two of them.  Maybe there was going to be another fight, Chu Chen said quickly: "Okay, you two should stop making trouble. Grandma Wen, this thing is in this condition. Let's count it as five thousand. What do you think?" Old Mrs. Wen said with a smile.  : "Okay, okay, it's the price you said. Let's take a look at these two things." The remaining two things are also stationery, an ink color mountain watermark box and a writing brush.  The printing box, also known as the printing box, is a stationery that holds ink pads.  Most are oblate and small in size, and are available in copper, porcelain, agate, ivory, jade, etc., with porcelain being the best.  The ancients said that "porcelain is the most suitable printing pool. If it is made of earthenware, it will consume a lot of water."?.  Copper and tin are rusty.  Jade, crystal and burning materials all have the disadvantage of moisture, which will seriously harm the printing color.  Recently, it has been made of stone, but it is not suitable.  ¡± This ink-color landscape-printed box has a tightly closed female lid and a stepped ring foot. The shape is elegant, the fetal bones are more careful, and the glaze is pure. The cover is painted with an ink-color landscape. The painting is smooth and highly ornamental. It has a certain collection.  The market value should be around 6,000. Chu Chen did not hesitate and directly offered the price of 6,000 to Mrs. Wen. Of course, Mrs. Wen would not object to this price. The last item was the study room.  The most common brush among the supplies, this brush also made Chu Chen's eyes shine. This brush should be made in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. The entire brush is made of ivory, and the material is neat and lightly carved.  Hehe Erxian is lined with mountain rocks, trees, Ganoderma lucidum, etc., and the brush cover is carved with exquisite craftsmanship and smooth brushwork. Moreover, this brush has no trace of use, which is quite rare.  He tried the brush for a while and said with a smile: "Grandma Wen, it seems that your family has a scholarly family for generations.  " Old Mrs. Wen said with some pride: "That's right, my family used to be a minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but now he is a senior official at the level of deputy minister.  " Chu Chen smiled and nodded: "That is indeed amazing. In addition to these three stationary supplies, do you have anything else?  For example, an inkstone or something like that.  " Old Mrs. Wen shook her head and said apologetically: "There used to be some, but some of the things I thought were valuable were sold, and these three are the only ones left.  " Hearing what Mrs. Wen said, Chu Chen couldn't help but shook his head regretfully. Looking at the state of Mrs. Wen's family, there should be a lot of good things. Unfortunately, he knew it a little late. It is possible that he missed some of the things he liked.  , but getting this rare teapot this time is an unexpected surprise, and there is no need to regret it. Next, the two parties set a price of 10,000 yuan for the writing brush. In this way, these few things today,  A total of 231,000, Chu Chen drafted the contract, and after both parties signed it, all they had to do was wait for Zhao Qirui to get the money. "Young man, I wonder if you will accept "Yuan Datou"?  " "Yuan Datou?  " Chu Chen was a little stunned when he heard this. He really didn't like this thing. The average "Yuan Datou" on the market is only about fifty, and the "Long Yang" is only about seventy-eight. The price of this thing is almost dead.  Yes, only in large quantities can we make more money. He is really not too willing to do this kind of business. ¡°Well, I have several Yuan Datou. If you are willing, you can take them too.  " "Okay, let me take a look.  "Chu Chen thought to himself, if you have nothing to do, just take a look. If it is that special edition, the price is not very cheap. There are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of special editions. Mrs. Wen took out ten  A silver coin was placed on the table. Chu Chen took a closer look and found that most of them were ordinary Yuan Datou, with a small amount of Long Yang. He did not find any particularly rare silver coins among them, but he was not too disappointed.  If the rare ones are so easy to find, can they still be called rare? Chu Chen counted the number of silver coins. Nine coins from Yuan Datou and six coins from Long Yang were all common products, and two of them were not in the same condition as Long Yang.  Very good. "Grandma Wen, these are ordinary silver coins. Yuan Datou counts one as fifty, and Long Yang counts it as seventy-five. A total of fifteen silver coins, nine hundred, what do you think?"  "    "ah?  Chu Chen thought she disagreed and explained: "Grandma Wen, my price is very fair. If you don't believe me, go ask."  "Actually, it doesn't matter whether Chu Chen accepts these silver coins or not. If Old Mrs. Wen doesn't agree, then forget it. When Old Mrs. Wen heard this, she quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, young man, you misunderstood. I'm very happy with this price.  Satisfied, it¡¯s just that I counted sixteen coins just now, but now there are only fifteen. It¡¯s really strange.  " After saying that, Mrs. Wen started to rummage. After searching for a while, she found that the bottom of the bag was somewhat torn, and the silver coin was stuck in the damage. "Here, I said there are sixteen.  "Old Mrs. Wen smiled and handed the silver coin to Chu Chen. Chu Chen didn't care much at first, thinking it was another Yuan Datou or Long Yang, but when he got it in front of him and was about to check the integrity, he was suddenly stunned.  "Jingchu made "the province's" Guangxu Yuanbao with seven coins and two cents of silver coins. How is this possible?  " Jingchu made "this province" Guangxu Yuanbao Kuping seven coins and two cents silver coins. The Jingchu Silver Dollar Bureau imitated the Lingnan silver coins and cast them in the city. When they were first minted, the word "this province" was embedded on the left and right sides of the dragon picture to show that they were different from other provinces.  Later, due to the suffocation, when it was recovered and recast, the word "this province" was removed. There are only a handful of them that have not been destroyed and recast.   And most of the remaining silver coins are worn or stamped, and completely unused items are rare.  Zhang Huang, a modern coin connoisseur, numbered this coin CH133 in his book "Catalogue of Chinese Silver Dollars and Silver Coins" and specifically pointed out: "There is only one kind of this coin, and there are no other versions." Chu Chen really didn't believe it.  To his own eyes, the silver coin in front of him was such a rare coin, and it was in complete condition and looked like new. This really surprised him!
