Chapter 124: Repaying Other People's Body with His Way (Part 1)
Chapter 124: Treat others with their own medicine (1)
"Haitao, is 'Li Mo' so famous?" He Qing asked. At this moment, he tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, because by watching the image record of that piece of ancient ink, he could confirm that the material produced by that thing
The era is from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Although the specific era is not very clear, after all, it is fast backwards, but it is very likely that it is the "Southern Tang Dynasty Li Mo".
Why wasn't He Qing excited about this? Unexpectedly, he went to "Hengbao Pavilion" for a walk and brought back an antique with potentially infinite value.
"Brother Qing, don't you know? 'Li Mo' in ancient ink is so famous, you haven't even heard of it, right?" Lin Haitao asked in surprise.
He Qing smiled and nodded, and said: "I really don't have much research on this thing, and I haven't collected it before."
"Is that so?" Lin Haitao said, "Anyone who likes to collect ancient ink knows that Li Mo is a holy-level ink treasure, the 'first in the world'. Unfortunately, it is expensive and has no market, so it is extremely difficult to receive it.
"It is said that the first ink maker in ancient times was Wei Dan during the Three Kingdoms period. He was known as 'the ink of a general is as good as lacquer.' He was not only an expert in making ink, but also a calligrapher. Later, ink making technology developed with the times.
, has been continuously improved, and there was also an ink-making official in the Tang Dynasty. The most famous ink-makers are Yi Shui, Xi Nai, and Xi Ding brothers. They summarized the experience of their predecessors, improved their predecessors' methods, and steamed deer antler glue.
The ink produced is 'rich in texture and smooth in texture', and 'glossy like lacquer'. The Xi family settled in Anhui from the Southern Tang Dynasty. Li Yu, the later master of the Southern Tang Dynasty, liked the ink and gave him the national surname Li. The ink they made was called 'Li Ink'
', there is a saying that 'gold is easy to get, but Li Mo is hard to find'. 'Li Mo' is the later famous 'Li Tinggui Mo'.
"The Huizhou ink that is more popular in the market today developed from 'Li Tinggui ink'. Li Tinggui became the master of Mohism in ancient and modern times. Therefore, when modern collectors mention ancient ink, they will think of 'Li Mo' and collect a piece, even a piece of 'Li Mo'."
Mo' is what they dream of but can't get!"
"That's it! 'Li Mo' is really famous all over the world!" After listening to Lin Haitao's long statement, He Qing suddenly understood and nodded.
"Brother Qing, why did you suddenly ask me this question? Did you see something good?" Lin Haitao asked curiously.
He Qing replied with a smile: "I didn't like it. I just found something from Boss Liu's shop. It was a piece of ancient ink. I can only say that I felt pretty good at first, and it was cheaper to pick up something."
, so I bought it. Here, it’s this ink ingot, you can take a look at it and see how it looks like.”
As he spoke, he took out the ink stick wrapped in cloth from his bag and unfolded it for Lin Haitao to see.
"Oh, it's really a piece of ancient ink!" Lin Haitao was surprised at first glance. "It's thickly coated with pulp, so it must be a very old piece of ink, but its appearance seems to be very ordinary, with no markings or any decorative patterns.
.Brother Qing, I didn’t expect you to go to Mr. Liu’s shop and make a deal. How much did you pay for this piece of ink?”
He Qing answered truthfully: "It didn't cost much. I gave him 15,000. He initially offered a price of 50,000 to 60,000, but I cut him down to this price."
"I'm dizzy!" Lin Haitao curled his lips and sneered, "Just this thing costs 50,000 to 60,000 yuan?! Why doesn't he grab it?! Better-quality Hui ink doesn't cost that much, although ancient ink has created 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.
The record of sky-high auction prices, but after all, only a very small number of treasures can reach that price! Brother Qing, why do you still buy things from that profiteer, Boss Liu? If you want to play with ancient ink, I will get some for you.
Yes, I can even touch the colorful Hui ink."
"According to what you said, I paid fifteen thousand for this piece of ink and still lost money?" He Qing asked calmly.
If he was not sure about the specific origin of the ancient ink, He Qing would definitely regret it now, but that's right. If he hadn't seen the ins and outs of the item first, he wouldn't have made this decision.
"Of course it's a loss!" Lin Haitao nodded solemnly, "I don't even want 5,000, the actual price is less than 5,000. If you make a deal with other bosses, then the loss doesn't matter. Who hasn't made a mistake?
?But Boss Liu...he's a fucking sinister guy, who wants to deal with a guy like him?!"
Lin Haitao didn't understand He Qing's purchase of the piece of ancient ink from "Hengbao Pavilion". However, the truth of the matter was not what he imagined. He Qing would certainly not take advantage of his enemies who shot cold arrows in his back.
.
"Haha, Haitao, don't get too excited, just listen to me." He Qing said with a smile, "I am not interested in the object but the person. What I am interested in is this piece of ink, not trying to get close to Boss Liu.
It’s too late for me to hate him! If I don’t feel anything, what am I doing buying things in his store? Am I creating profits for him?”
"Brother Qing, what do you mean?" Lin Haitao asked in surprise, "Do you think this black thing has potential collection value?"
He Qing nodded heavily and whispered: "Haitao, take a closer look first. I suspect this piece of ink is not simple. The ink you mentioned with exquisite patterns on the surface and good quality should have appeared relatively late.
Right? I think it’s normal for ink before the Ming Dynasty to have no patterns.”
"Before the Ming Dynasty?" Hearing what He Qing said seriously, Lin Haitao seemed to have thought of something and nodded in agreement, "Brother Qing, you are right. Ink was just a writing and painting supplies at the beginning.
The author mainly considers the quality of the ink itself, and is not very particular about its external appreciation. Only in the Ming and Qing dynasties did it gradually move closer to works of art. This piece of ink should be very old. Let me take a look first, or make a mistake.
Good assertion."
As he spoke, he took the piece of ancient ink from He Qing and examined it in detail. The ink was like black paint, pure black, without any impurities. The ink body was very delicate and slightly translucent, like a piece of ink jade.
Lin Haitao put it to his nose and smelled it, and said: "There is a very strange smell, like aroma and fishy smell. The material used for this ink is unusual."
"Well, yes." He Qing asked, "Haitao, do you think this piece of ancient ink may be 'Li Mo'? Or rather, it is ancient ink from that era. Ancient ink from a long time ago is rare in the world.
, it should be more valuable, right?”
"'Li Mo'?!" Lin Haitao shook his head and said, "There is no mark on it, so it's hard to be sure! If it is confirmed to be 'Li Mo' or ancient ink from that period, then you have picked up a big
What a treasure! Things are rare and valuable, and the genuine Li Mo is as rare as the Yuan blue and white flowers. Although it is not as valuable as the Yuan blue and white flowers, it can still be sold for several million a piece!"
"Well, that's it." He Qing said, "Now we just need to find a way to find relevant experts for appraisal. Haitao, is there any way to determine the age and provenance of this piece of ancient ink?"
Lin Haitao replied: "Let's ask Uncle Long and my grandpa later. They will definitely have a solution."
"Well, that's all." He Qing replied, and then Lin Haitao handed the things back to him, and he carefully put them away.
"Brother Qing, let's talk about this first." Later, Lin Haitao pointed to the "flesh urn" placed at his feet and said, "How to deal with this thing? We can't just let that guy go!"
He Qing said in a deep voice: "Boss Liu must have done this thing. I've confirmed this, but we don't have evidence to confront him, so we can't do it arbitrarily. Doesn't he like to play dirty tricks? Then let's take him as his own person.
The only way to cure him is to cure him! Haitao, let's find a way to trap him and torture him to death!"
