Seeing this, Chu Chen could only shake his head with a wry smile, and then put the things away. , he had no intention of returning the things. After all, An Gongshi had expressed his position in this way. If he did that again, it would be a bit inhumane. The night was uneventful. Early the next morning, everyone went to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast, then returned to their rooms, took out the antiques they had participated in the treasure fight, and prepared to participate in today's exchange meeting. The venue for the exchange meeting was still in this hotel. After everyone got their things, they followed the waiter¡¯s guidance and went to a small conference room in the hotel. The journey was smooth, but when they reached the door of the conference room, the group was politely stopped by the security guards. They checked everyone's invitation letters and verified that they were correct before letting everyone in. Don't think that there are only such security measures here. In fact, Chu Chen and the others can enter the conference room so easily because they have been staying in the hotel and have been identified. If they are participants outside the hotel, they must Only after careful comparison can one enter. Furthermore, it is unlikely that someone would pick up an invitation and try to impersonate it because there are photos of the attendees on the invitation. Just like Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo want to participate in an exchange meeting, they must go to the organizer to take photos and process them. Otherwise, they will definitely not be able to pass the security check just now. Walking into the door, Chu Chen found that the nearly 100 square meters conference room had been decorated into a small exhibition hall. In addition to some booths in the middle, there were also some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. Chu Chen took a closer look and found that these Chinese paintings Actually, they were not written by famous ancient artists, but they were all written by famous contemporary artists. It can also be seen from this that Chai Pingle is very interested in this exchange meeting. Still very concerned. ?Those who received invitations to this exchange meeting are all elites in the industry. Not many people can actually come, but one invitation can bring two people. In addition, the antique industry pays special attention to personal connections, or they want to support their juniors, so some people use up the quota. This also made Chu Chen originally think that there would be some deserted situation in the conference room. Some of them were admiring calligraphy and paintings, while others were gathering in twos and threes to chat, or discuss some topics about antiques. However, although there were many people in the conference room, the seniors were not present. After asking the staff, I found out that except for some seniors who had not arrived, everyone else was appraising the antiques participating in the treasure battle. After all, there are so many attendees at the scene, and they have brought a lot of antiques. If they are all brought out for review at once, it will take too long, so a few seniors will screen the things first. At this time, Uncle Wu said: "Xiao Chen, let's go and register the things first. Then I will take you to meet some seniors and colleagues!" Of course Chu Chen would not refuse, so everyone went to the registration office first and registered everything. All antiques that will participate in the treasure fighting session must be registered. Then ask the staff to put it away carefully. There are many priceless treasures among the antiques participating in the treasure fight. Therefore, the staff at this stage are very cautious and careful. In addition, there are dedicated personnel to track and take photos of the antiques throughout the process. The security measures are very tight and it is basically impossible to lose it. Next. Uncle Wu took Chu Chen and others through a passage and arrived at a reception room. In addition to some experts and shopkeepers that Chu Chen met yesterday, there were also several elderly and middle-aged people in their fifties and sixties sitting there. That was a lot of talking and laughing. When everyone saw Uncle Wu and others coming in, they all stood up and greeted each other with smiles. After a while of greetings, Uncle Wu introduced both parties. To be honest, these people are located all over the country. Even if they know each other, Chu Chen will rarely see them in the future. However, as the old saying goes, many friends lead to many paths, especially in an industry like antiques where personal connections are very important. Everyone here is an elite. It is beneficial for both Chu Chen and everyone present to get to know and be familiar with each other. After the introduction, everyone started chatting, whether it was their experience in appraising antiques, or some market conditions and gossip, everyone talked about it one by one. Although Chu Chen and others were just listening, they were enjoying it. Thirty or forty minutes later, Chai Pingle came in from the door with the young man from yesterday. "Mr. Chai (Boss Chai)" Seeing Chai Pingle come in, everyone smiled and said hello, and Chai Pingle also shook hands and greeted everyone one by one. After being polite for a while, Chai Pingle smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, Mr. Xu and Mr. Yu are already outside now." "Oh! It's not too late, let's go over now." With that, everyone He quickly stood up and walked to the conference room together. At this time, the person in the middle of the conference room?Things have been placed on several booths, but they are all covered with cloths now, so you can't see clearly what they are. In addition, there were five chairs placed next to the booth, and there were already five old people sitting on them. Except for Mr. Xu, Mr. Yu and an old man named Zhou who I met yesterday, the other two people, Chu Chen, were both do not know. So, Uncle Wu introduced to Chu Chen that one was an expert in appraising calligraphy and paintings in Lingnan, surnamed Mao, and the other was an expert in appraising bronzes in Jin Province, surnamed Wang. After everyone greeted several seniors one by one, they declined each other and sat down on a circle of sofas, tables and chairs placed around the booth. After a while of excitement, Chai Pingle, as the organizer, came out and said loudly with a smile on his face: "Thank you all, especially the elderly people, for taking time out of your busy schedule to come and participate in this exchange meeting. , here, I would like to represent" "Hua Hua Hua Hua" Everyone was very proud of Chai Ping. After he finished his speech of thanks, they gave him warm applause. Chai Pingle waved his hand with a red face, and then said loudly: "Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. First of all, we now invite Mr. Yu to unveil the mystery of the first treasure for everyone!" Mr. Yu stood up with a smile, walked to the first booth, reached out and took off the cloth on the booth. "The first collection is a Qing Kangxi multi-colored gold flower and butterfly pattern collection brought by Shopkeeper Bao!" "Ah! It is actually a Kangxi five-color gold flower and butterfly pattern collection! And it looks exactly the same as the one collected by the Forbidden City!" " It seems that we can be very lucky today" After hearing what Mr. Yu said, the audience was in an uproar. Many people's eyes showed excitement and wonder, while some people seemed a little nervous and disappointed. There is no way, there are only six seats in total, one carrot is in the hole, and there are so many people participating in the scene, someone will definitely be squeezed out. "Shopkeeper Bao, you've spent a lot of money this time! You actually brought such a treasure here. Not to mention that you can win the first place, the top six must be guaranteed!" "Thank you! Thank you!" One person looked fat. The fat middle-aged man bowed his hands to the people around him with a proud look on his face. "Okay, everyone please come on stage to appreciate it. Let's talk about it later!" Mr. Yu said with a smile. As soon as the words fell, everyone stood up one after another and came to the stage to appreciate it in order. Although there is no time limit, everyone can only watch it for two or three minutes at most before giving it to the people behind. After all, in such an exchange meeting, you still have to pay attention to your own image. Although many people brought others over, there were not many who could accept the invitation. The total number of people was only about thirty. In addition, some people came forward to appreciate it together. It was Chu Chen's turn to pass. Just twenty minutes. Chu Chen put on white gloves and walked onto the stage with Uncle Wu. They lined up on one side and picked up a plate to observe. "Zanpan", also known as "platter" and "whole plate", is a utensil for holding food. Although they both belong to the "plate" category, they are unique in the word "cuan". ¡°Cuan, gather.¡± As the name suggests, it is composed of plates divided into several pieces. "Cuan" also means moving, and for the disk, it should be a "movable disk". Therefore, Cuanpan is a whole composed of a number of small plates of equal size, regular shape, separate but interconnected. When today's people no longer stop at the pleasure at the tip of the tongue, they have the need not only for delicious food, but also for comfort. In fact, as early as the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, the ancients have already solved this problem for us. This is what Zanpan means. invention. The biggest advantage of Zanpan is its unique dressing effect and display function. In the past, the serving utensils were often single and appeared separately, lacking connection and a sense of wholeness. When there were too many plates, there might be a mess. However, the emergence of saving plates has broken this isolation and embarrassment. Imagine a number of small plates of equal size and embedded in each other, filled with various fruits, vegetables and snacks. The fruits and vegetables are colorful, the vegetables and meat are interspersed, the snacks are soft and soft, the shapes are complementary, and the taste is sour and sweet. , salty or spicy, and finally gathered into a whole, what a pleasing and satisfying dish it must be? And it is very convenient to take and store, and it is easy to display, completely avoiding the embarrassment of messy cups and plates. People only think that there are too many utensils to hold them, but who would have expected that this ingenuity would turn into such an appearance, which is really pitiful and cute. ??Zanpan was first made in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, became more popular in the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, and continued until the late Qing Dynasty. The number of platters in a set varies, and can reach more than twenty. During the Kangxi period, five-color and three-color paintings were common, and during the Qianlong period, there were many varieties. This set of plates on the booth consists of a total of twelve large and small plates on the inner and outer layers.Same thing. The plate has a folded rim, a shallow belly, a flat bottom, and a circle foot. The inside of the plate is painted with flowers and butterflies in five colors, and the word "Shou" in gold seal script is also painted in gold on the outer wall of the plate. This plate has a unique shape and rich colors. It is decorated with green, red, purple, yellow, gold and other colors. It is colorful. What is even more rare is that this set of plates has the same size, color and craftsmanship as those in the Forbidden City. The one in the collection is basically the same and is very well preserved, which is quite rare. It can be said to be a very precious work of art. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
