Hearing what Chu Chen said, Duan Kun felt something in his heart. Since he could give it to Zhenzhen, then this pair of things would not be bad. Seeing that the stall owner had already completed a business, he asked calmly: "Boss, this pair of things will not be bad." How much does it cost?" The stall owner said in an authentic Sichuan accent: "Brother, you have a good taste. These things are" Before he could finish his words, Chu Chen interrupted with a smile: "Boss, Let¡¯s not talk about the origins. Let¡¯s give you a real price!¡± The stall owner was slightly stunned, and then smiled: ¡°Oh, this guy is also an expert. In this case, let¡¯s consider it a thousand and five " At this point, he paused and added: "This is a sterling silver incense ball with gold inlay from the Qing Dynasty. One thousand and fifty is really not expensive! " If it is an incense ball from the Qing Dynasty, one thousand and five hundred. Although the price is still a bit expensive, it is not much expensive, and the price offered by the stall owner is also reasonable. Of course, if the price is paid back a little, the stall owner will probably agree. However, Duan Kun felt that since Chu Chen said he could give it to Zhenzhen, the value of the thing must be more than one thousand and fifty. He also saved himself the trouble, so he said directly: "Boss, you are also a real person, and I am not very good at it." Counteroffer, in this case, I believe you, one thousand and five is one thousand and five." Seeing Duan Kun agreeing so happily, Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe couldn't help but shook their heads slightly. With a personality like Duan Kun's, in the antiques industry. If you are a gangster, you will help count the money when you sell it to others. The stall owner knew that he had taken advantage of it and was in a happy mood. When Duan Kun paid, he wrapped the things quickly and put them in a bag and handed them to Duan Kun. "Boss, you don't have a clue yet?" Chu Chen asked. Hearing Chu Chen ask this question, the stall owner immediately knew that Chu Chen was a real insider. So he said with a smile on his face: "I do have one more item, but" Chu Chen said with a smile: "As long as your items are good, the price is easy to negotiate!" The stall owner smiled and nodded, and then took something out of the box behind him. He took out something wrapped in a newspaper and carefully opened the newspaper. What was revealed in his palm was a blue and white gourd vase. This gourd bottle is very small and exquisite. Chu Chen estimated that it is only about ten centimeters in height. The bottle has a narrow mouth. The belly is double rounded, the waist is girded, and the feet are concave. All-over blue and white pattern. The upper part of the abdomen is small and the lower part is large. Each part is painted with six square brocade and decorated with four dragon patterns. Waist light element. The blue and white script on the bottom is in regular script "Made in the Jiajing Year of the Ming Dynasty". The texture of this bottle is fine, clean and dense, the glaze is moist and bright, and the bottom of the bottle is covered with bright green glaze. The blue and white color is elegant, clear and clear, and the halo is not serious. The color is light and bright green. For this color, the green material should be Pingpingqing, which was lost in the middle period of Jiajing period. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Moved the pen vigorously, the pen is thick and rich in color, and the body is strong. Strong and soft, vigorous and graceful. ??From the perspective of the character structure, the character "´ó" has a wider opening, and the strokes of each stroke are obvious. The "moon" in the character "Ã÷" is curved obviously. The word "¼ª" in the middle of the character "Jia". The lower "mouth" is relatively wide and flat. The position next to "Li" on the left side of the word "Jing" is higher and aligned with the upper half of the side next to "Çà" on the right side. These are the characteristics of this dynasty in the Jiajing period. In summary. Chu Chen can be sure that this is indeed an old thing that has been around for generations. Emperor Jiajing was a devout believer in Taoism, and the shape of gourd bottles containing elixirs became very popular at that time. This gourd bottle is rare. Chu Chen still remembers that there are one Jiajing style gourd vase in the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Forbidden City in Baodao. Their size and shape are similar to this vase, but the decoration is slightly different. It can be seen from this that the gourd bottle in front of you is indeed a rare masterpiece and is worth collecting. After Chu Chen finished reading the things, the stall owner said with a little satisfaction: "Brother, isn't my gourd bottle good?" Chu Chen smiled and nodded: "It is indeed good, it can be regarded as the best among Jiajing blue and white flowers. But Jiajing blue and white is far behind Yongxuan and Chenghua blue and white. How much does this thing cost? " When buying antiques, there are always some skills, and the most important thing is to discourage the seller, because he sees If you don¡¯t understand the goods and don¡¯t know the details, you don¡¯t dare to charge too high a price for fear of being laughed at by your peers. Of course, if the seller is from Dong Bank, it will also be easier to negotiate the price by talking about the shortcomings of the items. For the stall owner, Chu Chen has seen this kind of behavior a lot, but he really doesn't dare to ask too high a price for this bottle. The reason is simple, because as mentioned before, shovels generally do business in a short-term and quick way. , the price of this bottle was high when he bought it, so he didn't dare to keep it in his hands for too long. And after all, Western Province is a western province. It¡¯s only 2002 now, and there aren¡¯t as many wealthy people as there were in later generations. It¡¯s really not easy to get rid of things worth more than ten or two hundred thousand in the local area. Because of this, the stall owner took out the things when he saw Chu Chen's extraordinary dress and temperament. The stall owner hesitated for a moment and said, "Originally?I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll sell it for less than 200,000 yuan, but I think you guys are quite happy to buy things. You can give me 180,000 yuan, but it can¡¯t be less! " Chu Chen was very satisfied after hearing the price. If such a bottle were put up for auction, it would probably be worth half a million. If you buy it for 180,000, it would be considered a steal. " Okay! Boss, you are a happy person, 180,000 is enough! " Chu Chen readily agreed: "Boss, do you want to transfer money to the bank or write a check? " The stall owner was very happy when he heard Chu Chen's agreement. He quickly said with a smile on his face: "It's better to transfer the money. The bank is not far from here, just a few steps away. " "OK. Chu Chen nodded, then picked up a bunch of bracelets from the stall and asked, "Boss, how much does this bracelet cost?" "In fact, the reason why Chu Chen agreed to the price offered by the stall owner just now was because the stall owner seemed very determined, and the most important reason was that he was interested in this bracelet. This bracelet was made by eighteen A golden bead was ready. Chu Chen estimated that each of those beads should be about 15mm. The luster of the beads was relatively soft, and the surface was covered with some inconspicuous small cracks. The stall owner took a look at the bracelet. Then he said: "Give me 300!" " "This is a feeder, it's not worth much! "Before Chu Chen opened his mouth, an old man in his fifties or sixties next to him spoke first. "In the antique shop, it is very taboo to comment on the owner's things in front of the owner, or that the items are fake, etc., so the old man It was quite taboo to interrupt. But maybe the old man was an acquaintance of the stall owner, so the stall owner just smiled and didn't say anything. As for the old man negotiating the price for Chu Chen, it was definitely impossible. The reason was that Chu Chen thought that he was interested in the things on the stall and wanted to build an alliance to help him, so he helped first. Now that he had a reason, Chu Chen followed suit and said: "Boss, Let¡¯s count one hundred. I didn¡¯t even bargain with you for this gourd vase, which cost you 180,000 yuan. It¡¯s not worth a piece of material, but I really like this golden one. It would be nice to give it away when I get back. " "Give it to him, give it to him. Others have already bought something worth 180,000 yuan from you. It doesn't matter if you give such a piece of material as a gift. "The old man continued to help, and Liu Sizhe and Duan Kun next to him also followed suit. Hearing this, the stall owner thought about it and agreed. After all, Chu Chen had bought something worth 180,000 yuan, and the food utensils were not that good. Things should be sold cheaper. The material used in antiques is not plastic, but a kind of glass with a lower melting point that is mixed with other pigments or substances. The material can be used to make various handicrafts. Bead strings and the like were sold to the common people in ancient times because they were relatively cheap. Of course, there were also good items among the utensils, such as snuff bottles. Seeing the stall owner¡¯s agreement, Chu Chen paid directly. , and then casually put the bracelet in his pocket. After the transaction was completed, the old man immediately picked up a jade pendant and asked the price. Seeing this, Chu Chen of course reciprocated and helped the old man buy the jade pendant, and everyone went to the bank very happy. After transferring the account and saying goodbye to the stall owner, Liu Sizhe said with an envious look: "You two have bought good things, but I got nothing. " Duan Kun scratched his head and said, "What kind of good things are my pair of aromatherapy balls? "Liu Sizhe said angrily: "Don't take advantage of it and do it well. If I'm still wrong, your pair of aromatic balls should be from the Tang Dynasty. " "No, is this thing from the Tang Dynasty? "Duan Kun took out the things and asked with a look of disbelief. "These pairs of aromatic balls are indeed from the Tang Dynasty. Chu Chen laughed. The official name of the aroma ball in the Tang Dynasty was the sachet, also known as the quilt incense burner. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it was commonly used among the nobles, also called the "incense cage", which was a kind of incense burner. It is a device in which spices are placed in the bowl. After being lit, the aroma floats out from the hollow to improve the air in the room. Its unique feature is that when wearing and burning spices to fumigate clothes and bedding, no matter how the ball rolls, the scent in the bag will remain. The spices will not burn the clothes, so it has the dual functions of fumigating clothes and heating. It uses the principle of gyroscope. The poet Yuan Zhen of the Tang Dynasty once wrote the poem "Fragrance Ball". , praised and said: "Follow the customs and only stay in the group, stay in the middle and don't waver. My love for you is not pity, but I am surprised that the fire keeps burning. ¡± In the poem, the special structure of the fragrant ball is used as a metaphor for the principles of life. Externally, we must adapt to the times, but internally we must not be influenced by the external world, and we must always retain an unquenchable fire-like sincerity in our hearts. ¡± Duan Kunmai The pair of aromatherapy balls we arrived are made of sterling silver. They are hollowed out, engraved with grape patterns, and inlaid with gold flying birds to make them look vivid. The overall design is ingenious, the workmanship is fine, and the gold and silver carvings are exquisite.The decoration is gorgeous and full of life. This pair of aromatic balls are beautiful in shape and brilliant in color. They are truly ingenious and unparalleled in their craftsmanship. They reflect the superb gold and silver craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty. They are very rare and rare royal products. Duan Kun said with a surprised look on his face: "No, it's really from the Tang Dynasty. How much are these things worth?" "I estimate the market value to be 150,000 to 200,000!" Chu Chen After thinking for a while, he replied. Hearing the price given by Chu Chen, Duan Kun was so happy that he couldn't help laughing
