Chapter 106: Have money? Don’t sell it even if you have money

After leaving the Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei no longer delayed it and followed Liu Zekun to his brother-in-law's house. This was the ultimate goal of Jia Sidao's trip. Although there was still a considerable distance from Zhengzhou to Baofeng, it was quite convenient for the three of them to take the train together.

On the way, Liu Yufei kept looking at Jia Sidao with a very strange look, which made Jia Sidao feel uncomfortable all over, so at the end, he had to ask: "I said Brother Liu, you shouldn't have that special preference, right?"

As he said that, he moved his body, which was sitting next to Liu Yufei, to the aisle, which caused Liu Yufei to roll his eyes.

"By the way, Brother Jia, did you see that big bowl at the beginning, oh, that piece of Taibai Zun is an old thing?" Liu Yufei hesitated for a moment, couldn't help but ask this question.

"Haha, so what if I see it? I can't say it directly?" Jia Sidao thought that the thing was not genuine because he noticed that the thing was wrong. This was also considered as Jia Sidao's blind cat and dead mice. When he looked at the information, he remembered this point. Speaking of which, there are many varieties in porcelain, and they are different from each dynasty. Just like Jia Sidao, who can tell that it is an old thing with simple learning, can only be considered Jia Sidao's luck.

After the same statement was made by the man surnamed Li and the man surnamed Chen, the female teacher seemed to have made up her mind to repack the cowpea red Taibai Zun and took it home, not planning to spend the money for the appraisal.

Of course, after this, the relationship between the few people was pretty good, and they met each other. They exchanged business cards with each other, and even Liu Yufei, a guy who doesn’t like porcelain, hurriedly handed his business card. In Liu Yufei’s words: This is a connection!

Before leaving, the female teacher specially invited several people to go to her house to see the porcelain handed down from her ancestors if she had time. Jia Sidao was quite moved. However, looking at the female teacher's business card, Jia Sidao also knew that the other party was not from Zhengzhou, but was just teaching in Zhengzhou now.

The ancestral porcelain was naturally placed in the hometown, the female teacher's brother. It was simply not too far from Zhengzhou. The two made an appointment. When Jia Sidao had time, they would give the female teacher a call first. If everyone had the opportunity, they would be convenient for everyone, the female teacher promised to take Jia Sidao to take a look.

As for the man named Li, he was named Li Liang, and Chen Qi, who was also a porcelain collector. What made Jia Sidao pay special attention to is that Li Liang is also an appraiser of porcelain in an auction house. No wonder he had a relatively accurate judgment on the market price of porcelain. When Jia Sidao held the business card in his hand, he took more care.

"It seems that you have really spent a lot of time." Liu Yufei sighed, "To be honest, we can be regarded as freaks in the eyes of others. We play with jade, but we like to collect some other things. It's like the jade I like. This is probably not as good as jade in terms of market value or liquidity, right? But I just like jade in my heart, and I often put down the jade business at hand for this. I run around the country. Do you think I'm a bit naughty?"

Jia Sidao smiled in his heart, it was nothing more than a different hobby.

It’s like him. If he goes to gambling stones every day, he can naturally accumulate enough wealth. However, it is because gambling stones is a bit too simple for Jia Sidao. With a touch of his hand, he can know whether there is any jade in the jadeite rough stone, and even know the texture of the jadeite inside, which lacks some technical content.

For Jia Sidao, if he did not want to collect porcelain, and only earn money from jade raw materials, he would buy a house and a car, and if his wife also took it, what else could he use the money to do?

You always need to find some of your interests.

When collecting porcelain, it was precisely because of this opportunity that Jia Sidao gradually entered this industry, and thus got involved in gambling stones and made a lot of money; secondly, Jia Sidao could vaguely feel that his superpowers might not be of much use in identifying porcelain, perhaps, as if he was not as useful as he is now. It was just that he had not discovered it himself.

So, Jia Sidao looked at Liu Yufei and could only say like a charlatan: "Well, it's indeed a bit." After that, while Liu Yufei was stunned, Jia Sidao laughed out loud first...

A few hours later, the three of them arrived in Baofeng, took a taxi directly from the train station, and then arrived at Liu Zekun's brother-in-law's house.

The location is not in the downtown area, nor is it too remote. It is a unit room, two bedrooms and one living room, and the size is just right for the family to live. Because it is approaching dusk, Liu Zekun's sister is also at home. But the nephew he mentioned, maybe he went out to play, and Jia Sidao did not see it.

After explaining the purpose of the trip, Liu Zekun's sister Liu Shu first stared at Liu Zekun for a while, with a slight displeasure on her face. Then she seemed to be concerned about the existence of Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei, then entered the room, opened the cabinet and took out four bottles. Judging from the shape of the instrument, two of them were moon-bearing bottles and a pair of plum bottles.

Because according to the information Liu Zekun said, it was only because his brother-in-law had several moon-bearing bottles at home. Jia Sidao put in a lot of time to identify the moon-bearing bottles. On the contrary, he didn't master much about the knowledge of the plum bottles, and it was difficult to randomly evaluate them for a while. But when he was playing with it, he looked at the glaze color and felt that it should be something from the Qing Dynasty, and he was not very sure.

However, in Jia Sidao's opinion, the two plum vases were undoubtedly from the Qing Dynasty. One of them was nothing special, but they were slightly better in terms of appearance than the one received by A San. The shape was somewhat similar, and the size was similar. As for the price, Jia Sidao thought that it should be about 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.

The other one is the Qing Dynasty Qianlong blue and white blue and white blue and white lingering lotus pattern moon-wrapped bottle with a strong blue and white hair color. The shape is relatively huge, and its height is slightly looked at by Jia Sidao and it should look half a meter. The overall form is made according to the traditional classic moon-wrapped bottle style. But compared with some of the most common styles Jia Sidao saw on the Internet pictures, the moon-wrapped bottle in front of him has many innovations.

The mouth of the bottle is garlic-shaped, with blue and white tangled lotus patterns on top, Ganoderma lucidum Ruyi patterns on the neck, and round belly at the bottom, the overall shape is relaxed and dignified and beautiful. The mouth is decorated with Ruyi ears on the left and right sides, and the lines flow naturally. The abdomen is round, and the front and back tables adopt the original decorative technique of the Qianlong period, with blue and white tangled grass patterns on the hook edges, filling the bean green glaze in it, and the bean green glaze is secretly engraved under the bean green glaze. The word "Shou" is painted in the middle, and the blue and white tangled flowers and leaves are lined with blue and white tangled flowers and leaves on the sides, and the foot wall is painted with a week of banana leaf patterns and back patterns.

Especially with its base, there is also a blue and white seal script style such as the "Made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty". This undoubtedly shows that this thing is an official kiln and a relatively important large-scale palace decoration in the Qianlong Dynasty.

Not to mention Jia Sidao, even Liu Yufei, who doesn’t understand porcelain, is quite optimistic about this one among the four porcelains placed in front of him.

After looking carefully, Jia Sidao naturally liked the Qing Dynasty Qianlong blue and white lotus-woven moon-wrapped bottle on his opponent, and couldn't help but wink at Liu Zekun.

Liu Zekun hesitated for a moment before asking his sister whether he had any intention of taking action.

Liu Shu glanced at Liu Zekun and didn't say anything. Instead, Jia Sidao, Liu Yufei and Liu Zekun were unsure. In fact, when Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei came in, Liu Shu seemed to have guessed that such a result would be. It happened that the door was opened at this time and Liu Shu's son came back. He looked fifteen or sixteen years old and was not tall. Judging from his clothes and appearance, he should have just returned from playing basketball. Liu Shu complained to Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei, asking his son to stay in the living room first, and he pulled Liu Zekun into the room.

After a while of discussion, the two of them came out.

Jia Sidao took advantage of this gap and continued to observe the Moon Bottle in his hand. Liu Yufei was idle and chatted with Liu Shu's son. During the conversation, Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei realized that it turned out that Liu Zekun's brother-in-law was also a porcelain enthusiast during his lifetime, especially for Moon Bottle. In addition, he had some family background. He uploaded a few pieces and collected a few more pieces himself, so he had his current collection.

The four pieces placed in the living room are obviously only part of their collection. Of course, this was not said by Zhai Yanliang himself, but Jia Sidao thought of it himself from his words. There should be several other moon-bearing bottles in Liu Shu's home. However, if someone doesn't take it out, Jia Sidao has no choice. Among them is what Liu Zekun said, Jia Sidao was suspected to be white glaze porcelain from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing Liu Shu and Liu Zekun come out together, Jia Sidao naturally took the initiative to ask about the results.

Liu Shu sat down first, looked at the four pieces of porcelain placed on the table, pointed to the official kiln-style hunching bottle, and said, "If you really like to collect it, you can choose one of the other three pieces except this one."

Jia Sidao immediately smiled bitterly. He couldn't understand the other three pieces except the best ones, so Jia Sidao naturally didn't dare to accept them. If Jia Sidao wanted the other moon-carrying bottle, if Jia Sidao wanted, he would probably have to take the one that A San collected when he was in Linhai? There was no need to travel to Henan so far.

"Well, Sister Liu, look, the other pieces look pretty good, but if they are used to collect them, there is still a big gap between them, whether they are of quality or glaze, or something." At this time, Jia Sidao had to tell the truth. It seemed that Liu Shu in front of her didn't seem to know much about porcelain, but her husband probably explained it during his lifetime? "If you are interested in selling this moon-carrying bottle, we can discuss the price."

While talking, Liu Yufei pulled Jia Si to the side.

Jia Sidao turned his head to look at the other party, and Liu Yufei signaled Liu Zekun with his eyes. Jia Sidao turned around and looked at him. It seemed that Liu Zekun was winking at Liu Shu at this moment. Jia Sidao couldn't help but be stunned. Then, he heard Liu Zekun say, "Sister, I said just now, these two are friends I know on the coast, and I really like porcelain in my heart. Look, there are many such bottles at home. Besides, Xiaoliang will want them in the second half of the year..."

"I know what Xiaoliang is doing. I will think of other ways." Liu Shu interrupted Liu Zekun and said, "This thing was explained by your brother-in-law during his lifetime. It needs to be kept and passed on to Xiaoliang. Naturally, I can't make the decision to sell it now. Moreover, if I really lack money to give Xiaoliang school, I will take out the other pieces of porcelain and sell it, and Xiaoliang's tuition will be enough."

The tone in that speech had almost no room for maneuver, and even Liu Zekun retorted it. Not to mention Jia Sidao, he could only touch his nose. When encountering such a thing, Jia Sidao, who had just joined the collection line, didn't know what to do.

They don't plan to sell it at all.

Liu Zekun also persuaded him a few words, but one of them was more valuable. After selling the other three, it was not as much as this one. But Liu Shu said: "Is there money? Is this one not even able to sell it."

"Sister, I remember seeing several other bottles in the past." Liu Zekun changed the topic and suggested, "Why should I take it out and let us see it?"

Jia Sidao on the side couldn't help but look admiring, and he was quite expectant.

However, Liu Shu's words made Jia Sidao feel depressed again. "I won't take out those things that cannot be taken." Liu Shu said, looking at the four pieces of porcelain on the table and said, "These four pieces are still placed in a cabinet, and I took out the bottle that your brother-in-law had told me."

That means that if it weren't for putting it together in advance, Jia Sidao wouldn't have seen this one.

In the end, the two sides did not reach an agreement. What Jia Sidao wanted was not taken. If they were willing to take action, Jia Sidao felt that he didn't want to accept it. Before leaving, Jia Sidao was still a little unwilling to accept it. He handed out a business card and said, "Sister Liu, look, I also sincerely like porcelain. If you think about taking action in the future, can you give me priority?"

Liu Shu glanced at Jia Sidao and said nothing. However, hesitated slightly and reached out to take Jia Sidao's business card. This made Jia Sidao feel a little better.

After leaving the door, Liu Yufei smiled and patted Jia Sidao on the shoulder and said, "Brother Jia, don't have a sad face. It's normal to encounter such a thing. If the other party didn't drive you out with a broom, it means you still have a lot of hope."

"Have you ever encountered something that was kicked out?" Jia Sidao asked.

"That,..." Liu Yufei smiled embarrassedly and said, "How could I encounter such a bad thing? It was a friend I knew who had met and told me. If I encounter a bad temper, I would scold you directly. In this industry, how could I make a deal? This is to rush to someone's house to collect things, which is different from those in the antique market."

"That's right." Jia Sidao nodded. The things in the antique market were originally planned to be sold, but as long as they were interested in the negotiated price, they would be sold. The ones in the store had no intention of taking them. It would naturally take some time to collect them. Thinking of this, Jia Sidao's mood suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"You must be patient when collecting things, especially when you encounter something you like, you must learn to slap in a slap. It is the same as pursuing women. If you are sincere and have done your ideological work well, good things will naturally not be able to escape." Liu Yufei was like a veteran, talking to Jia Sidao, "And, I just saw Sister Liu's expression, it seems that it is not too bad. As long as you start with her son and let Liu Zekun speak on the side, it shouldn't take much time to get it done."

"Yes, yes. Xiao Jia, I think it's a good idea to start with Xiao Liang." Liu Zekun followed Jia Sidao and the others and continued, "My sister is very pampering about Xiao Liang. Besides, in the end, isn't this thing left for Xiao Liang? But..."

"If you have something to say." After a few days, Jia Sidao understood that Liu Zekun was a good person, besides being good at gambling, others were also quite good people.

"It's just about time, it will take a few days to delay you." Liu Zekun said.

"I thought it was something." Jia Sidao said with a smile, "It's okay. As long as there is hope, it doesn't matter if I live here for ten days and half a month." It's rare to encounter something I like, and take some time, Jia Sidao was still happy. "By the way, what did your sister just say when you pulled you into the room?"

"That,..." Liu Zekun heard this, a man in his thirties was still a little embarrassed and said, "My sister asked me if I owe you gambling debts, so I took you home to see the porcelain. She thought I had mortgaged the porcelain in advance." After that, Liu Zekun subconsciously scratched the back of his head with his hands.

This made Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei laugh out loud. Liu Yufei also said jokingly: "It seems that it's already very good for your sister to drive us out without a broom. Haha..."
