Chapter 144 I'm all thinking about coming over and licking you some wool
After taking two sips of tea, Zhang Yijie couldn't bear it anymore and picked up the small bowl.
"Why does it feel a little strange when you look at it? It doesn't feel right even when you touch it." Zhang Yijie asked strangely, rubbing the small bowl.
I always grew up in antique shops. Even if I didn’t learn anything, I still learned something through my ears and eyes.
It's just that Lao Zhang is half-hearted. He has not received any systematic education, so he broke into the antique business. He only relied on his own cleverness, not being greedy for cheap, and not taking advantage of disadvantages, and he was able to survive until now.
Zhang Yijie, who was educated in this way, would not fare much better.
This is a common phenomenon in the antique industry. Even many masters who have been famous for many years were born in Yeluzi.
These people really can't compare with Chen Wenzhe. Although he was also born in Yeluzi, his inheritance is complete!
Simply relying on the knowledge he learned from the Sui Marquis Pearl, Chen Wenzhe was able to defeat many so-called masters, not to mention the businessmen in this antique business.
The most prosperous people in Dahai City are merchants, not masters.
The city is huge, has a large population, a larger floating population, and a high per capita income, making the city full of opportunities.
As long as you have the ability, it is easy to obtain wealth.
"Does something feel wrong? That's right!"
Chen Wenzhe put down the tea cup with a smile and took the small bowl.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Chen Wenzhe asked.
"pretty!"
"Does it look good to your eyes?" Chen Wenzhe asked again.
"Pleasing to the eye!"
"Does it feel too bright? Like modern porcelain that has not yet subsided?"
"Yes, I'm afraid Lao Niu thinks so too. Otherwise, if I can find thirty-five yuan, I'll sell it to you!"
"You feel something is wrong, so you didn't think of something wrong?"
As he spoke, Chen Wenzhe gently scraped a few times with his nails, and some white powder was scraped off the thin wall of the small bowl.
"What is this?" Zhang Yijie asked in surprise.
"It should be wax!" The expression on Chen Wenzhe's face became very strange.
There are weird things everywhere in this world. I think the guy who sold this small bowl thought that by waxing it to make it more beautiful, he would definitely be able to sell it for more money.
He must have never imagined that just because of this unnecessary step, this exquisite piece of the Republic of China almost became a modern handicraft.
"Waxed?" Zhang Yijie's expression also became quite strange.
There are a lot of old things in antique shops, but this was the first time he heard of someone doing new things.
"Get some alkaline flour, soak it in water and wipe it off. It's a pity that it's a replica from the Republic of China."
After looking at it for a while, Chen Wenzhe lost interest. Although the small bowl was very beautiful, it was not worth the money.
"How much can it sell for?" Zhang Yijie was very interested.
With his pitiful knowledge, he knew that this small bowl looked too new and looked shabby. It was not easy to sell such a thing.
However, if there is no light, such a beautiful small bowl will definitely sell easily.
"Usually it can be sold for three to five thousand yuan. If you find one you like, it's not impossible to get it for thirty thousand or fifty thousand yuan."
"Is such a beautiful little bowl worth so much money?"
Zhang Yijie is a bit inflated. Among the antiques he has seen during this period, the lowest price is more than 7,000, right?
"It's just a small bowl, I can't ask for more."
In fact, the price of fine porcelain in the Republic of China was underestimated.
Also, the price of so-called Republic of China porcelain on the market is too low, which also suppresses the price of genuine Republic of China porcelain.
Zhang Yijie suddenly laughed: "Even if it sells for one thousand, it's still pretty good. Today's various expenses will be paid."
Chen Wenzhe also said with a smile: "I wonder if any of the shopkeepers around here take the initiative to deliver goods to your door."
"It must be true. Your reputation for being a fool and having a lot of money has spread. Anyone who has some money in their hands wants to come over and steal some money from you! Look, here comes another one."
"Is this one your Uncle Zhang's friend?"
Seeing the person walking in this time, Chen Wenzhe recognized him. He was among the people invited to open the business.
"In business, there is no talk of feelings."
Chen Wenzhe nodded in agreement, especially in Dahai City, generally no one talks about relationships because talking about relationships hurts money.
"Uncle Wen, come in and have tea!"
Seeing that Wen Changgui was a little hesitant and seemed embarrassed to come in, Chen Wenzhe could only take the initiative to speak.
He didn't leave and just lingered at the door. What could Chen Wenzhe do?
Upon hearing Chen Wenzhe's voice, Wen Changgui seemed to be relieved and walked in directly.
Seeing this performance, Zhang Yijie curled his lips. He wanted to be a scoundrel and build an archway at the same time!
"Xiaojie is here too? Uncle Wen, I got a good thing, but I haven't been sure to pay attention to it. I heard that Xiao Chen is very powerful, so I brought it over to show him." Wen Changgui said with a smile.
Chen Wenzhe immediately said: "Sit down and have a cup of tea first, and let's talk slowly."
Wen Changgui was not polite and sat down directly.
People who sell things always say that their products are good.
After taking a sip of tea, he took out a handkerchief.
After opening it, a jade pig dragon was revealed inside, but the pig's chubby body was elongated, forming a large semicircle.
Seeing the jade with this structure, Chen Wenzhe's expression became a little strange.
I really saw too many national treasures like this in the divine capital.
However, after thinking about the pile of Yue Yu bronzes, Chen Wenzhe still took the time to examine the jade carefully.
The c-shaped structure of jade is really eye-catching, and in this antique store, anyone who sells jade seems to have some.
There are too many fakes of this thing.
However, everyone brought the things, and Chen Wenzhe couldn't say anything.
Wear gloves and pick it up and examine it carefully.
This Jade Pig Dragon is actually very beautiful. It’s so beautiful that it’s worth seeing!
His spirit was shaken, and Chen Wenzhe became more serious.
The whole body is chicken bone white, with yellow soil in parts. The luster is very soft, and it looks really good.
It would be more perfect if it were smaller, triangular, or circular.
Unfortunately, this is a C-shaped structure. Although it is a bit rounded, or it elongates the fat body, it is obviously not dragon-shaped.
This jade pig dragon is Xiuyan nephrite, which is correct.
It has a fat head and big ears, a flush muzzle, and the body is not connected from head to tail and is curled up in a semi-ring shape.
Round holes are drilled on the back, and the incised lines on the face represent eye circles and wrinkles. The whole thing looks like a pig, not an embryo.
Looking at it this way, there are still many problems.
The early Jade Pig Dragon from the Hongshan Culture has a very small inner circle and is connected end to end. It is not the image of an adult pig at all, but an embryo of a pig.
The one connected from beginning to end in a ring shape is the jade pig dragon, which retains more of the image of the pig. It is an early work and is probably the earliest source of the ancient proverb "the pig is the dragon and the elephant".
As time goes by, the head and tail of the Jade Pig Dragon slowly separate, and a hyena or horn grows on its head.
This kind of jade that begins to transform into a dragon is called a jade dragon with a curled body. This one is obviously a jade pig with a curled body!
