    However, there were not many people who were interested in Yu Ruyi at the scene. Even Chu Chen, there were only seven.  After Chen Dayou waited for the last person to return to his seat, he said: "This is a Qing Dynasty jade sculpture of landscape figures Ruyi. The starting price is 50,000, and each increase in price must not be less than 1,000. The auction starts now!"  , someone quoted the price: "Eighty thousand!" "Eighty-five thousand, I said to Lao Lin, can you not increase the price so aggressively? Can you take your time? Every time you are there, the final price will always be three times higher."  Four points, can you change this problem in the future?" There was a middle-aged man behind the man, complaining while making a bid.  "Eighty-eight thousand! Hey, Lao Zhou, if you don't like my quotation like this, just don't follow me. Then you won't have any trouble!" Old Lin chuckled.  "Ninety thousand! Do you think I'm willing to get behind you? If I hadn't wanted to take it off as a birthday present for my father-in-law's 70th birthday, do you think I'd be willing to mess around with you?" "Ninety-two thousand?  ! Lao Zhou, I also bought it as a gift, so don¡¯t argue with me. Can you exchange it for something else? " Lao Zhou puffed his beard and said with a glare: "Why should I change it?  Change? Lao Lin, let me tell you, this is what my wife told me. If you ruin my good deeds, be careful and I will be in trouble with you!" "Oh, Lao Zhou, no wonder you are so stubborn today.  Let¡¯s go, it turns out it¡¯s because of your wife¡¯s care! Lao Lin, you have to work hard today! You must get your wife¡¯s place back!¡± said a middle-aged man next to him with a smile.  Seeing that Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe were a little confused, Wang Xiangong explained with a smile: "The man just now is called Zhou Zhiming. He is very afraid of his wife. He usually regards his wife's words as imperial edicts." "The other old Lin has a good relationship with Zhou Zhiming, but they  The two wives are incompatible with each other. Whenever they meet, they will be sarcastic and sometimes even curse. Lao Lin is a protective character. I heard that Lao Lin's wife suffered a big loss last time. I guess there will be a good show today.  " "Old Zhou, I can let you go if you don't mention your weird wife. I'm telling you today, don't even think about it until you spit out the 10,000 yuan my wife lost!" "  Shit. Lao Lin, are you serious?" "Twenty-five thousand!" Seeing the higher and higher bids from both parties, Wang Xiangong frowned and said, "These two guys are really crazy.  , If this continues, it will probably not end." And the expressions of other people on the scene began to become solemn. These two people have the character of never looking back.  It was difficult to persuade them even if they wanted to, which made the two friends feel a little difficult for a while, especially the person just now. He originally just wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect it to end up like this, and his expression started to become anxious.  "I'll pay 160,000!" At this time, everyone suddenly heard someone else quote a price.  Everyone looked back and saw that the person who made the quotation was none other than Chu Chen.  Chu Chen bowed and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I didn't give my master a decent apprenticeship gift before. But because the master didn't allow me to send expensive things, I couldn't find a suitable gift for a while. This is  I think Yu Ruyi is just right. I also ask the two eldest brothers to make it happen! " Actually, Lao Zhou and Lao Lin are both trying to save their own reputations. Now that Chu Chen has this excuse, they naturally agreed, and because they have  Due to Mr. Liu's factor, both of them saved their face, and for a moment there was a trace of gratitude in their eyes looking at Chu Chen.  And other people at the scene.  Because Chu Chen was able to stand up and resolve the dispute, everyone gave him a kind smile.  After Chu Chen took back the jade Ruyi, Liu Sizhe quickly asked in a low voice: "Brother Chen, is the price you quoted a loss?" Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand and said, "This price is higher than the market price.  . But when I made the transaction, I was given a 5% discount. Not only did I not lose money, I also made a little profit. Besides, I just said that this thing was given to the master, so there is no need to worry about the value.  Generally speaking, sapphire is far inferior to mutton-fat jade and white jade. If this Ruyi material is replaced by white jade of the same quality, the value is estimated to be more than five times higher. However, apart from the price factor, sapphire also has its own characteristics.  Sapphire is generally larger in size and has a fine, warm and oily texture. At the same time, some sapphire has very good toughness due to its densely interwoven structure, and is an important raw material for making thin vessels.  And at the beginning, sapphire was used more than white jade. It was not until the Han Dynasty that white jade began to be valued. Even now, the price of white jade is several times that of sapphire.  However, due to the depletion of Hotan white jade resources and market demand,?Continuously expanding, coupled with the prosperity of culture brought about by my country's rapid economic growth, the national "gentleman loves jade" plot has been stimulated, and the number of people collecting Hetian jade continues to grow. Now sapphire has gradually been gradually valued by the world, and the price The tide has also begun to rise.  "Brother Chen, are you really planning to give this jade Ruyi to my grandfather?" Liu Sizhe asked in surprise.  Chu Chen chuckled and said: "I said in front of everyone that I would give it to the master, how could I regret it?" Liu Sizhe muttered after hearing this: "No wonder my grandpa likes you so much, and you have a good impression on these people, and  You have won Grandpa's favor, Brother Chen, you are really a good person!" Chu Chen casually gave him a piece of cake, and said with a smile: "What kind of person is not good at others? Is my scheming as serious as that?"  He said with a playful smile: "Hehe, just kidding!" While the two were joking, two more things were taken on the stage, a jade comb and a writing brush, which were sold for 15,000 and 12,000 respectively.  But the next auction piqued everyone's interest, and Chu Chen even exclaimed: "Backflow pot?" Backflow pot, also known as pour-over pot or pour-over pot, is a unique type of porcelain, because  It is world-famous for its ingenious design.  The lid of the backflow pot is a dummy lid that cannot be opened. When filling the wine, the pot needs to be turned upside down, and the wine is poured through the small hole in the base.  After placing the pot upright, there will be no leakage from the wine filling hole.  The secret is that there are two water separators in the pot, and one is a small hole that connects the ampulla and the bottom of the pot. Since the upper hole of the water separator in the ampulla is higher than the highest level of wine, when the wine pot is placed upright, there will be no wine leakage from the wine filling hole.  .  The other water separator is at the spout. The same principle ensures that the wine does not overflow when the wine is poured.  The earliest discovery so far is a celadon-glazed backflow pot from Yaozhou kiln in the Song Dynasty. It caused a huge sensation when it was exhibited and was known as "the first pot in China".  "Everyone is right, this pot is a celadon-glazed backflow pot from the Yaozhou kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty." Chen Dayou introduced to everyone: "This pot is sixteen centimeters high, and the overall shape is like a pear, with a double-pedicle false lid on the upper part.  It is not open and cannot be opened. There are flying phoenix-style lifting beams on the top and one side of the abdomen. The other side where the phoenix head points is sculpted with a lioness opening her mouth to make a pot flow, and the lioness sucking under the belly of the lioness. The shape is vivid and lifelike.  " "The breast nail pattern and the vertical triangle pattern are decorated one week each. The belly is engraved with the pattern of wrapped branches and the lotus pattern is engraved on the bottom.  The large hole is open to the abdomen, and it can be filled with water when it is turned upside down. It is water-proof when placed upright. It has a ring foot under the abdomen and is slightly tilted out" Before Chen Dayou could finish speaking, someone in the audience interrupted: "Old Chen, there is something wrong with this thing.  Well, why do I think it's exactly the same as the one in the museum?" Chen Dayou was not angry at the man's interruption and said with a smile: "I said, Lao Quan, can you stop being so impatient about this thing?  The appearance is indeed similar to the one in the museum, but the one in the museum is 19 centimeters in height, this one is only 16 centimeters, and that is just carved flowers, and this is just carved flowers. As for the other things, you can come up and see for yourself.  It¡¯s really not true, I can¡¯t vouch for this.¡± When Chen Dayou finished speaking, everyone stood up and those sitting in front ran up to the stage and looked at it, but immediately shook their heads.  Step down.  Next, everyone took turns to come on stage one by one, but most people didn't seem to be very optimistic about this pot. However, it was an auction now, so it might be a mystery.  Due to time constraints, it was Chu Chen¡¯s turn soon. He took the pot in his hand and took a quick look at it. He saw that the pot was complete in shape and well-coated with pulp. It was obviously the result of frequent playing.  The body of this pot is iron-grey, with cosmetic soil applied on the outside, and contains small black iron particles and pores, which is in line with the characteristics of the Yaozhou kiln at that time.  The glaze is shiny and transparent, the glaze color is green like olives, and the thin parts of the glaze are ginger yellow. The back of the object near the feet and bottom shows a leakage of glaze.  These exposed parts of the glaze show some small plaques caused by brown iron oxide.  The thin glaze on the lower part outside the body of the vessel shows a faint light brown color. This is because the iron content in the soil is relatively high.  And these are all in line with the craft characteristics of the time.  In addition, the decoration technique of this pot is carving with relief characteristics. The carving technology appeared in the early Song Dynasty and later in the Song Dynasty. It has reached the highest level in this period and is known as "the crown of celadon carving in Song Dynasty".  Carving is also called "partial knife", that is, first use a knife to carve the outline of the pattern vertically, and then use a knife to carve the rest of it, and then remove the ground sandwiched between the knife marks after straight and oblique carvings to make the pattern  It is convex and glazed, and after applying the glaze and pouring it in small sections, it will have clear patterns, alternating shades and distinct layers, with a strong three-dimensional effect.  The carving technique of this pot is superb, and the flowers on the pot are vividly and swaying. It is almost the best carving in the Song Dynasty.?? level is quite rare.  Finally, Chu Chen tapped his fingers on the body of the pot, and the sound was clear and crisp. As the saying goes, "the sound of hitting it is like a clang." At this point, even without the use of superpowers, he was already sure that this should be a genuine product, and it was almost  After a hundred years, the appearance is still so complete, which can be said to be a rare treasure.
