Handan used to be the capital of the State of Zhao, and the word "handan toddler" originated here. Moreover, Handan is adjacent to Pengcheng. In ancient times, it was the birthplace of the Cizhou kiln Zhengerbajing. The Cizhou kiln was famous for its plum vases and porcelain engraved on white ground.
Pillows are famous. In the past, people who traveled all over the country to collect antiques would always come to Handan when they came to Hebei. They all wanted to collect Cizhou kiln tiger pillows and sell them at high prices to make a fortune.
The green train ran slowly. At that time, there was no high-speed rail station in Handan area, only Handan West Station. After packing our luggage, we got off the train at around 10 p.m.
"Are you staying in a hotel? Are you staying in a hotel?"
"Single room or double room, with shower and charging, only 30 yuan a night!"
"My name is Wei County, my name is Wei County, I need one person to start the train immediately!"
After leaving the train station, I shouted at the people staying in the hotel and the people driving illegal cars, and people kept coming up to chat with me.
Douyazai yawned and said: "Yunfeng, head, let's find a place to stay for one night. This person is unfamiliar with the place and doesn't know the way around. Please don't wander around at night, okay?"
The small hotel near the train station is dirty and messy. I actually don't want to stay there, but there are other people there right now, and I have to consider other people's thoughts and feelings.
I asked Zhao Xuanxuan, Miss, are you tired? Should we stay in a small hotel or go find someone? ??
Zhao Xuanxuan said listlessly: "I think Dou Ya is right. We should find a place to stay first and wait until daybreak before continuing. We are already here, so there is no rush for a few hours."
"Okay, let's rest first tonight and recover."
I waved to the woman who just solicited customers.
"Young man, are you staying in the hotel?" The woman trotted over immediately.
We rented three more rooms, and the female boss charged 120. Douyazai was used to the hard life on the boat, so he tried his best to bargain with her. Later, the woman accidentally saw the mobile phone that was used on his head, and his eyes lit up, so he killed her at the same price.
Don't let go.
The mobile phone I held in my head at that time was the Waveguide S2000, which was commercially available. The market price was more than 3,000 yuan, while the Nokia 8210 at the same time was only more than 2,000 yuan. The advertisement that Bird advertised at that time was that it was a fighter among mobile phones, a flip-top model with a one-inch display and radio function. It was so awesome that Samsung, Ericsson and others had to stand aside.
.
This woman saw that we were using thousands of mobile phones, so she refused to lower the price. She didn't want to waste time on such a trivial matter, so she shook her hand and said that's it.
The place we stayed in was a guest house, on the third floor. The environment was average. Dou Yazai and I shared a room, the head room was in a room, and Miss Zhao was in a room. Miss Zhao asked the landlady where she could go to take a bath, and the answer she got was that there were only public bathrooms for men and women.
Use it together. She may be mysophobic and can't adapt to it, so she didn't use it.
At 11:30 p.m., I came back from the shower wearing slippers. When I was passing by the corridor, I suddenly saw a wave of more than a dozen people going up to the third floor at the same time, and then there was constant noise from the third floor.
The person on duty at the front desk was a energetic red-haired girl in her early twenties. I walked over and asked out of curiosity: "Hey, beauty, what are you doing with that clanking thing on the third floor?"
The spirited girl held her chin and yawned, and said sleepily: "We are having a sex date. Today is the 16th. Those are all selling antiques."
When I heard about sex, I became interested.
I came across this.
Sex dating is a kind of transaction that only exists in antique shops. It is said that it existed in the Qing Dynasty. In the past, itinerant antique dealers traveled around the country with their things and concentrated them in hotels and inns. I don’t know who started it.
Everyone is selling things on the hotel bed, using the bed as a matchmaker to exchange utensils.
I've heard about it before, but never had the chance to see it with my own eyes, so I definitely wanted to go and see the excitement.
Called Dou Sprouts, went up to the third floor, and we saw
The doors of more than a dozen rooms are open, and you can pass through the central corridor and have a clear view of the scenery inside the room.
Sellers in twos and threes are sitting cross-legged on the floor playing cards. The bedding on the bed is neat, and rows of antique goods are neatly placed. There are porcelain, ancient jade, bronze Buddha statues, ancient books and scrolls, and miscellaneous treasures. If anyone passing by in the corridor takes a fancy,
If there is an item on the bed, the door will be knocked three times first. Three knocks means that the buyer is here to see the item, and four knocks means that the buyer wants to come and get acquainted.
Although Dou Sprout knew nothing about antiques, he still seemed very interested. When he reached the end of the corridor, something in the room caught my attention.
The delivery boss is a bald man in his fifties with a northwest accent.
My first impression of this man was that he was a fellow tomb robber. This man had an earthy smell. The earthy smell I don’t mean is the earthy smell from the sense of smell. How should I put it? It was like two chefs throwing them together.
One person said that you work in the kitchen, and I can smell the smell of lard and chopped green onion on you from a distance.
After entering the room, the man said coldly: "There is no leakage in the cage (nothing in the cage has been missed)."
I smiled and said nothing, and continued to look at the thing.
There is a layer of quilt on the bed, and on the quilt is a bluestone carving board about 30cm long and wide. The whole stone carving is made of bas-relief technology. The carving should be a male statue of Guanyin with three heads and three faces. The bottom corner of the stone carving is incomplete.
, you can vaguely see some ancient stone carvings with complex strokes.
"Can you get started, brother?" I pointed at this thing. ??
The man said calmly: "Be gentle, this is something from a very old age."
I nodded and said yes.
I have never seen a stone sculpture of Guanyin with this shape. It has three heads and three faces. The front face has low eyebrows and narrow eyes, showing compassion. The left face has an angry and wide-eyed look like a Vajra protector. The right face has a peaceful expression as if it is indifferent to the world. So
The weird shape and the open face of the male Guanyin must be a treasure. Because I have never seen it before. Judging from the texture and weathering of the bluestone, I initially dated it to the Song and Yuan dynasties.
This thing is definitely not a heirloom, it most likely came from a large tomb somewhere.
"Brother, what's the price?" I asked him.
"28." The man quoted the price in an indifferent tone.
Dou Sprout stared: "Fuck, 28! I think this thing will work, I'll give you 30! No need to look for it!" After saying that, he started to look through his wallet.
I hurriedly stopped Dou Yazi and said with a smile: "Brothers who are new to the industry, don't be surprised. Brother, I think this thing has a dry mouth. I wonder if it was made in Ningxia and Inner Mongolia?"
The man's expression changed, and he suddenly stood up and closed the door.
He walked in and handed over a cigarette, and whispered: "You have good eyesight, brother. I think you are young, what kind of life do you have."
Before I could reply, Dou Sprout immediately jumped in and said, "The leader of the Northern faction! Have you heard of me?"
The man was stunned for a moment, looked at me and asked, "Recruit egg?"
"He's just here, brother, don't laugh at him," I pointed to the door and said, "It's fate that we meet each other from all over the world. How about we go downstairs and sit down and get to know each other? Let's see if there is any way to make money together."
"Okay."
While getting dressed, he said: "I've really encountered difficulties with a project recently. If you are interested, you can chat."
Before leaving, I asked him to take the stone carving and show it to me, because I felt that I couldn't figure it out. If you have a good eye, you might be able to see some clues.
After going down to the second floor and seeing the boss, after both parties announced their homes, the man took out the stone sculpture.
He looked over his head carefully and rubbed the three-faced Guanyin with his hands. After a long time, he suddenly said:
"This is something from the Xixia Buddhist Kingdom."
