Chapter 032 The big inner magic porcelain who can sing (2)
Under the leadership of Li Xuguang, He Qing quickly arrived at an antique store with the sign of "Xuguzhai". As soon as the two of them walked in, they were greeted by a smiling voice: "Hey, Brother Li
?!Who is this little brother?”
The person who greeted He Qing and the others was a relatively young man, about thirty years old, with a medium build, a long face, and a small beard on his chin, which looked a bit artistic.
"Boss Qian, this is my friend, his name is He Qing." Li Xuguang introduced with a smile.
"Hello." He Qing greeted politely.
"Hello, welcome." Boss Qian still smiled and said, "Brother He, what do you want to play?"
Li Xuguang answered for He Qing: "Boss Qian, we are here to see that piece of porcelain, the one you showed me yesterday afternoon. It seems quite interesting, and my friend also wants to see it."
As he spoke, He Qing nodded towards Boss Qian, indicating that he wanted to see something. In fact, he didn't know what Li Xuguang was talking about yet, but he probably was a grasshopper gourd, because Li Xuguang knew his preferences and likes.
Raising chirping insects, chirping insect lovers would prefer to collect any beautiful katydid gourd.
If it was a good-quality grasshopper gourd, it would suit He Qing's wishes. Now he indeed has this hobby. The habit of raising grasshoppers and other singing insects was something he inherited from the playboy of the Qing Dynasty who lost his mind in playing with things.
He Qing will wait and see, hoping that what he sees next will not be too disappointing.
"Okay." Boss Qian smiled and nodded, "Both brothers, please go this way."
Then he enthusiastically took He Qing and Li Xuguang to an inner room with a small space and relatively dark light. Immediately, Boss Qian carefully took out a large porcelain jar from a cardboard box. The jar contained Shi Qingbai
The alternating glaze colors looked antique at first glance, but He Qing felt a little discouraged when he first took a look at it, because he didn't notice the red light, and not even a little bit of spiritual energy was emitted from it. From this, it can be seen that
Either the items are not very old, or they are not worth collecting and appreciating.
After so many previous practices, He Qing has concluded a rule for his eyes' superpowers. Only antiques that have condensed the strong "will power" of the predecessors will emit red aura, but the current big jar does not have this.
phenomenon, it means that the thing is not very valuable.
At least the first impression it gave He Qing was not very good. As a result, he was not at all sure about that thing.
Because he knows nothing about ancient porcelain, he can't tell anything about the most valuable porcelain in front of him. However, he can slowly learn this thing in the future, and combined with his special ability to accurately date, he can definitely create a generation of master appraisers.
"Brother He, how are you?" Boss Qian asked. There was a sense of triumph in his expression at this moment, as if he was asking He Qing: "Boy, do you understand what a good thing I am doing?"
"Oh, this piece of porcelain is indeed quite exquisite." He Qing smiled slightly and said casually, "Boss Qian, please tell me, what is the origin of this thing?"
He knew very well that Li Xuguang brought him to see things so enthusiastically, and what he saw must not be that simple. Could it be such an inconspicuous big jar, like this large porcelain antique stall over there in the market?
You can see it everywhere, so why come to Boss Qian to see it?
"If you don't want to take the advice seriously, I'll let you give it a try and see if this thing has some tricks up its sleeve. Brother He, you can see clearly." Boss Qian said with a smile. He pressed his fingers against the porcelain jar as he spoke.
Following the contact point of Boss Qian's finger, He Qing suddenly saw a dark brown, irregular spot symmetrically distributed on the shoulders on both sides of the porcelain jar, shaped like the spots on a "dalmatian dog", which looked quite eye-catching.
, as if something bad was placed in the jar, attracting two fat flies to lie motionless on it.
"Oh?!" Seeing this, He Qing was really surprised, because he could clearly see that the "brown glaze spots" appeared suddenly, and there was clearly no such thing just now.
Boss Qian is doing tricks!
"What's going on?" He Qing thought, he was very puzzled by this, but he was only a little interested in the origin of the two black spots, but he was even less optimistic about the whole piece of porcelain.
Because he thought about it. This kind of thing should not be made in ancient times. It is a contemporary handicraft. Now that science and technology are so advanced, it shouldn't be difficult to do some tricks on porcelain to make it mysterious. It's just that they haven't seen it before.
, so it looks very mysterious.
"Brother He, did you see it? This is called 'Golden Bell'? There are two golden bells - have you ever raised insects? They are one of the four major pets, namely songworms, flowers, birds, fish and insects." Boss Qian
He still said with a smile.
"Raised them." He Qing replied lightly. He knew a lot about grasshoppers, but he had no impression of the so-called "Golden Bells". He did not expect that the other party would call the two black spots that appeared out of thin air "
"Golden Bell", this is getting more and more mysterious the more you talk about it.
Boss Qian said solemnly: "The strange thing about this piece of porcelain is these two insects. Let me tell you, this piece of porcelain is called 'Golden Bell'. When it comes to raising insects, you must be an expert.
You should know that there is a lot of knowledge involved. In the past, people paid attention to "playing with insects", and this "golden bell" is the most fun among insects. In this entomology, "golden bell"
There are two kinds of bells: one black and one light brown, with different shapes. In fact, they have the same name and different reality, and they are two different kinds of chirping insects. Northerners call the former 'golden bell', and southerners call the latter 'golden bell'.
Bell'. The black golden bell is also known as 'horse bell'. It has a flat and wide body and an oval abdomen. The male is about fifteen millimeters long, and the female is slightly longer, two centimeters. It is completely black and looks like a plump watermelon.
Zi'er usually chirps at night, and the sound is like the sound of metal knocking, with a slight echo, which sounds very pleasant to the ear, hence the name "Golden Zhong'er". Hey brother, listen up, I'll let you know
Now listen to the chirping of these golden bells."
As he spoke, he tilted his left hand, poured a little tea from the purple clay pot next to him on the table, then dipped his two thumbs in the water, and began to touch the two black spots on the shoulders of the porcelain jar.
A little friction.
At first, there was a "squeak-squeak" sound, and then there was a "squeak-squeak" sound. As the friction coefficient between the finger and the porcelain increased, there seemed to be a little "resonance" phenomenon, and finally the sound was
A harsh, sharp scream, like the noise made by scratching the glass with a metal sharp object.
Hearing the sound, He Qing and Li Xuguang looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
"Listen, okay? To be honest, at night, these two golden bells not only chirp, they also sing, which is crisp and sweet. It is definitely a great entertainment!" Maybe his fingers are tired from rubbing on the porcelain.
, Boss Qian suddenly heaved a sigh of relief and raised his finger, and explained in a serious manner, "There is another term for this type of porcelain, it is called 'Da Nei Fantasy Porcelain', which means that it has a 'mechanism' in place as early as the firing.
It can make the cry of "Golden Bell". Do you know Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty? He was a "cricket fan" and specialized in raising and raising "Golden Bell". But "Golden Bell" is such a delicate insect.
Yeah, he can't live for a few days. The old emperor said, it can't be done - he can't sleep if he can't hear the cry of "Golden Bell"! He ordered the ministers to try to find a way, so, just like that, some experts fired it.
The precious object you see today is also called a 'golden bell' - made of porcelain! And it is an object of Xuande, Xuande! Isn't that great?! It is said that when the emperor sleeps in the inner room at night, the eunuchs outside have to take turns.
Rub this 'golden bell' in amusement. It's like a chamber pot. It's something that Long live the Lord can't live without at night. Do you think it's worth it?"
"It must be worth a lot of money!" He Qing nodded vigorously and praised, "I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to say it is a national treasure! Boss Qian, this is such a good thing, tsk tsk, this is the first time I have seen it.
, today is an eye-opener for me!”
"Then... Brother He, do you want to take it out and play with it? You were introduced by Brother Li, so I will definitely give you a discount. If it were ordinary people, I would not be willing to take out this magical porcelain to show them.
." Boss Qian said solemnly.
"Boss Qian, I'm sorry, the stuff is too expensive and I can't accept it! You'd better keep it and listen to the singing of the insects." He Qing said with a serious expression. After speaking, he gently pulled the standing
Li Xuguang next to him said goodbye and walked out of the inner room.
It's like he can't hide!
But when passing by the store, He Qing was suddenly attracted by a scene.
"Eh?! This seems to be a really good thing!" He Qing was suddenly surprised and happy.
