    Chu Chen looked at Wang Xiangong's expectant eyes, smiled and said: "Okay, I'll call you then!" "Well, are you talking about Jing Hao's "Autumn Evening in Chushan Mountain"?" Ning Shizhen was beside him.  He asked with a surprised look on his face.  After receiving Chu Chen's confirmation, Ning Shizhen couldn't help but be dumbfounded. When he came to his senses, she quickly said: "Well, Mr. Chu, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to witness it then?" Anyway, it doesn't matter if there is one more. Chu Chen is very happy.  He agreed, of course, because Ning Shizhen was a friend of Zhu Dafu and Wang Xiangong, otherwise he would not have agreed so happily.  Just like the two people next to him, although they looked envious, Chu Chen did not send out an invitation.  Although the day was better today, because it was not the weekend, there were not many guests, but Ning Shizhen didn't care about it.  In his words, making money by opening an antique store is the second most important thing. The most important thing is to make friends with like-minded people.  Moreover, in the antique business, it either does not open for three years, or it lasts for three years. It is normal for the business to be bad, but if the business is good, he will find it strange.  After drinking tea for a while, Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Ning, why don't you bring out some good things for us to enjoy?" Ning Shizhen laughed and said: "It has been prepared for a long time, but  I made it clear in advance that there are some items that I intend to exchange for. I hope you will understand!" After saying that, he hugged everyone and walked out of the room. After a while, he took the clerk with him.  I brought over nine boxes.  "Everyone, please take a look. If there is anything you like, except for the few items that are bartered, you can negotiate for the price." Ning Shizhen opened all the boxes and then made a gesture to everyone.  Everyone was polite.  Just look into the brocade box placed in front of each other.  What was placed in front of Chu Chen was a bird food jar, which was in the shape of a doublet.  It imitates the shape of a gourd, with the top rolled back to form a hole for tying. From the back, it looks like a gourd with branches and leaves wrapped around it. It is cute and smart, and the design is quite clever.  The body of the vessel is covered with green and white glaze except for the rim, but it looks a bit grey. The glaze is moist and bright but looks a bit thicker.  There is a vague sense of waves.  The tire is exposed at the edge of the mouth, which shows that the quality of the tire is fine, clean and dense. The neat and generous six-character double-line regular script inscription "Made in the Jiajing Year of the Ming Dynasty" falls on the edge of the mouth.  The outer wall of the bird food jar is decorated with blue and white painted branches. The blue and white material should be stone green material. The color is blue with gray and elegant.  There are two methods of decorative painting: solid brushwork and outline rendering. The solid brushwork is mostly fine lines, while the outline rendering is mostly thick lines and decorations. The lines are smooth and the texture is clear.  There is a sense of cohesion.  Although this bird food jar is small in shape, it contains ingenuity and the painting is quite exquisite, but it is a pity.  By the late Ming Dynasty, both the glaze and green materials of porcelain were no longer as good as those in the early and mid-Ming Dynasty.  There are also some shortcomings in quality, which greatly reduces the value of this birdseed can.  Chu Chen thinks the market value should be around 80,000.  But after all, this kind of bird food jar is still relatively rare, Chu Chen thought about it.  If the price is right, it would be good to accept it, so he asked: "Shopkeeper Ning, please give me a price!" Ning Shizhen smiled bitterly and apologized: "Mr. Chu, I'm really sorry, my bird food can was used to pay off the debt.  The price is really not low. If you want it, how about 80,000 yuan? " Chu Chen didn't buy this bird food can for collection. In this case, he will definitely not do a business that is not profitable.  , so I could only shake my head and give up, and look at the next thing.  The antique below is a large blue and white flower bowl from the Xuande period that Wang Xiangong has seen.  This bowl has a slightly everted mouth, a deep belly, and is decorated with blue and white patterns all over. The inner wall is painted with peonies, lotus flowers, and chrysanthemum patterns. The inside of the bowl is painted with lotus flowers in a double circle. All kinds of flowers have small leaves intertwined with branches.  The outer edge is painted with a back pattern, the foot wall is connected with the Ruyi curly grass pattern, and the lower abdomen is surrounded by the Ruyi head-up lotus pattern. The theme decoration is the same as the inner wall. The painting on the surface of the vessel is vigorous and free. The base is "Made in the Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" in a double circle.  Official inscription in six-character regular script.  This bowl is made of fine texture, white and hard. The bowl is covered with green-white glaze. The glaze is thick and moist, with a soft luster that is not dazzling. It is mostly white with a bluish tint, and is commonly known as "bright green glaze".  The blue and white materials are made of typical Sumali blue materials. Due to the temperature of the kiln, the blue and white flowers flow and disperse, which is similar to the rendering effect of Chinese ink and blue on rice paper.  Although the Xuande blue and white bowl with entwined branches and flowers is an ordinary official kiln practical vessel, the blue and white are green and beautiful, with appropriate shades, and the decoration is regular but not blinding. It truly reflects the elegance and beauty of Xuande porcelain.  "Since it was such a good bowl, why didn't Wang Xiangong not inquire about the price? In fact, it was because this bowl had two shortcomings.  First of all, this bowl is covered with borneol patterns, and over time, a lot of dirt has adhered to the gaps in the borneol patterns.  There is another question?, one area on the surface of this bowl was smoked.  The smoke phenomenon refers to the partial or complete color of the ceramic surface being gray, yellow, brown or impure white. It is mainly due to the fact that there is no oxidation before the glaze is melted, and the carbon is deposited on the glaze after the glaze is melted.  cause a phenomenon.  There were borneol patterns and a smoky phenomenon, which made the appearance of this blue and white bowl really poor. Wang Xiangong was disgusted and did not inquire about the price.  Although this blue and white bowl was precious, Chu Chen's heart also cooled down because of these two shortcomings. However, when he was about to put the bowl back, he suddenly thought of something, so he changed his mind and went to  Ning Shizhen inquired about the price.  Although Ning Shizhen didn't know why Chu Chen asked about the price of this blue and white bowl that was in poor condition, he had kept this bowl in his hands for a long time. Not only did he dislike the bowl's condition,  , even if others are the same, no one is willing to change hands or exchange it. Of course, there are also reasons why he is unwilling to sell it at a low price.  Now that Chu Chen was interested, he quickly quoted a price of 220,000, which was slightly lower than the market price, and Chu Chen only thought about it for a moment before agreeing.  Just when Chu Chen was about to look at the next thing, he heard Ning Shizhen next to him saying, "Mr. Wang, I'm so sorry. I plan to exchange these pairs of walnuts for something." Chu Chen heard this.  The word walnut immediately attracted him, but he remembered that he wanted to buy a pair of fine Wenwan walnuts for his master.  "Then how are you going to change?" Wang Xiangong asked.  "If the three Xuande stoves from the Xuande Dynasty are treasures, we can still negotiate." Ning Shizhen said with a gesture.  Hearing what Ning Shizhen said, Wang Xiangong couldn't help but frowned: "I only have an ordinary Xuande stove. Can the rest be replaced with other things?" Ning Shizhen shook his head firmly. He just liked Xuande.  This is how the furnace was replaced.  Seeing this, Wang Xiangong could only show a look of regret on his face.  At this time, Chu Chen also saw the Wenwan walnuts that Ning Shizhen wanted to exchange for three Xuande stoves. As soon as the walnuts came into his eyes, his eyes couldn't help but light up.  This pair of walnuts should be mutated lion heads, with a round and solemn shape and a fine and hard texture. Ordinary walnuts are generally two-ridged, but they actually have as many as five ribs, and the five ribs are wide, straight, blunt and rounded.  The color of the walnut is bronze, the patina is fine, and it shines with the luster of a gemstone like red agate. It feels as warm as jade, and it looks like an old walnut at a glance.  What moved him even more was the carving on the walnut, which turned out to be nine dragons.  As we all know, walnuts are difficult to carve.  Core carving must be micro-carved according to its texture. If you fail even a little bit, everything will be lost. Therefore, without full skill and confidence, the core carver would rather retain its original texture.  This pair of walnuts is carved with nine dragons and five edges. Together they are worth nine or five years. In ancient times, except the emperor, who else would dare to use such walnuts?  In addition, this pair of walnuts also has a base carved with ivory. It can be said that this pair of walnuts is an excellent pairing in terms of shape, texture and color, and can be called the king of Wenwan walnuts.  With such top-quality Wenwan walnuts, it¡¯s no wonder that Ning Shizhen refused to let go!  Chu Chen decided that he must get this pair of walnuts, so he said: "Shopkeeper Ning, I wonder if I can get this pair of walnuts by using two Xuande stoves and supplementing the price difference?" "This" Ning Shi  When Jane heard that there were two Xuande stoves, she couldn't help but get excited. Although Wenwan walnuts are more precious, the people who play with them are a minority after all. Although his walnuts are indeed more precious, there is definitely no room for appreciation in the future without Xuande stoves.  of high.  But Ning Shizhen still seemed a little unwilling. Just when he was about to refuse, Chu Chen added another weight: "Shopkeeper Ning, how about this, two Xuande stoves, plus a hand stove from Hu Wenming,  If it¡¯s not enough, let¡¯s calculate the price difference, what do you think?¡± Hearing what Chu Chen said, Ning Shizhen suppressed the words that just came to her mouth. Although Hu Wenming¡¯s hand stove is not as precious as the Xuande stove, it is not worth it either.  low.  Seeing Ning Shizhen's interested expression, Wang Xiangong on the side suddenly became anxious. He quickly bowed to Chu Chen and said: "Xiao Chu, let's discuss it. I usually like to collect walnuts for fun, so let's give this pair of walnuts a try.  How about I give it to you?" Chu Chen replied: "Mr. Wang, it's not that I don't want to give it to you. I'm going to give this pair of walnuts to my master. Please forgive me!" Wang Xiangong seemed to think of it when he saw Chu Chen say this.  What did he say? He opened his mouth, and then sighed softly: "Okay!" Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly said: "Mr. Wang, I'm so sorry. Next time I have a chance, I will definitely help you find a pair.  Top quality walnuts, what do you think? ¡±   Hearing what Chu Chen said, Wang Xiangong felt a lot more relieved. He waved his hand and said, "No need to go to such trouble, as long as you have this intention!" Ning Shizhen was still a little hesitant at first, but when he heard that Chu Chen wanted to  He gave the walnuts to Mr. Liu and quickly agreed. Normally, I don¡¯t know how many people want to have a relationship with Mr. Liu but never get a chance. Now, this opportunity to show their face in front of Mr. Liu cannot be missed.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
