Li Yang smiled and said nothing. He Lao had a saying that Li Yang deeply remembered. There are the most stories in the antique world. Don't believe any stories, just believe in your own eyesight. Who knows if the shop owner in front of him is deliberately pretending to be pitiful.
Besides, this damaged Xuande furnace is definitely not worth 100,000 yuan. Fifty thousand yuan is already a high price, and Li Yang has no intention of increasing the price for it.
"Boss, what I said is true. I have already lost 100,000 yuan, and it cannot be lowered!"
When the shop owner saw that Li Yang was unmoved, his face immediately became very sad, but he occasionally glanced at Li Yang from the corner of his eyes.
"Dad, Dad, I'm back!"
Suddenly there was a cry outside the door. The shopkeeper was startled, with an obvious smile on his face, and quickly put the Xuande stove away.
A young man who was less than twenty years old came in from the outside and was wearing a hat. When he saw someone in the store, the young man was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed at the shop owner and said, "Dad, that big paint shop in Zhaocun
I took the can back!"
"Really, bring it in and take a look!"
The shopkeeper looked overjoyed and a little excited. He stood up and wanted to walk out, but he stopped after taking two steps. He turned around and took the box containing the Xuande stove to the back room before walking out.
Seeing Li Yang, the shop owner apologized: "Boss, I'm very sorry. My son has just returned from receiving the goods. If it's convenient for you two, you can come back to talk tomorrow!"
"It's okay, can we take a look at the goods you received?"
Li Yang shook his head. It was not easy to harvest in the countryside now, but the big paint can that the young man mentioned reminded him of something.
Mr. He once told Li Yang that when the Cultural Revolution destroyed the Four Old Ages, some people put a layer of paint on the porcelain cultural relics at home to preserve them. Later, a few things that were painted with paint never had the paint removed due to various accidents. You know
These secretive people went around collecting this kind of painted porcelain, and some people did pick up leaks.
However, many people later took advantage of this to set up traps, and many people were deceived. Now that it has been so long, no one knows whether this kind of painted porcelain still exists.
"This, yes, yes, no problem!"
The shop owner thought for a moment and then agreed with a smile. The things were already theirs. Li Yang had no chance to pick them up. If Li Yang wanted to pay a price that satisfied them, the shop owner wouldn't mind selling the things he just received.
go.
Just as he was talking, a young man came in with a large paint can. This can was really not small, nearly half a meter high. It was painted with red paint, but it turned into dark brown over time.
As soon as he saw the big jar, the shop owner became excited again.
The young man took out a small bucket from the wall inside, poured some water into a basin, took out a new towel, dipped it in water, and began to wipe it on the large paint can.
The shop owner was also busy helping, and neither of them noticed that Li Yang was in a daze.
As soon as the big paint can was brought in, Li Yang used his special ability to observe the thing. The shop owner and his son were really lucky. This was indeed the painted porcelain that Mr. He had mentioned.
Inside the paint is a blue and white jar with two layers of light yellow aperture. There is no base. Li Yang analyzed it based on the style and aperture. It was a Guangxu folk kiln, and it was considered a good folk kiln porcelain.
The reason why Li Yang was in a daze was the base of the large jar. The base of the large jar was very thick, and there was a plate-sized hollow in the middle. Inside, lying quietly was a green glaze brush wash with a light yellow halo on it.
There are actually fifteen circles. Speaking of which, this is the second time Li Yang has encountered a treasure hidden in his belly. I wonder if people in the past liked this.
There are fifteen circles, and one circle is sixty years old, indicating that this brush washer has a history of at least nine hundred years. Li Yang quickly calculated the date and found that this time was probably in the late Northern Song Dynasty.
The workmanship of the green glaze brush washer is very exquisite. The diameter of the brush washer is about 30 centimeters, and the thickness is about four or five centimeters. It has no bottom, and there is no inscription on the back of the brush washer. There are only small nail marks. There are five such nail marks.
indivual.
Li Yang carefully recalled the ancient porcelain knowledge he learned from He Lao. He Lao was a great expert on ancient porcelain and had the most books on this kind of book.
There are not many types of porcelain with nail marks, and since it was the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Yang almost knew the origin of this brush washer. If Li Yang's guess is correct, this brush washer is a great treasure.
After Li Yang made his judgment, the shop owner and his son had already washed most of the paint. The more they washed, the happier the shop owner became, and his son's face was also filled with excitement. Needless to say, they must be excited about picking up the leaks.
"Boss, you're lucky, it's an old thing!"
Li Yang knelt down and said with a smile. The shop owner was very happy and couldn't help but nodded.
"This should be a general jar from a folk kiln during the Guangxu period. Although it is a folk kiln, it is very exquisite and valuable!"
Li Yang continued, and the shop owner kept nodding. Just now, Li Yang suddenly mentioned the problem with his Xuande furnace. The shop owner already regarded Li Yang as an expert. In addition, he himself could see the age of this thing, so he was interested in it.
There is naturally no doubt about Li Yang's words.
After saying this, Li Yang stopped talking and quietly watched the father and son wash the paint. After more than half an hour, the two father and son finally washed off all the paint on the entire large can.
"Boss, I'm very interested in this new treasure from you. Can you give me a price?"
The general jar was placed on the table in the store by the shop owner and his son. Li Yang looked at the general jar and suddenly said something.
"Boss, I am really impressed by your vision. Since you are interested in it, you should make an offer first!"
The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and immediately said with a smile. He found this big jar when he went to the countryside to try his luck earlier. When someone wanted to collect it, they didn't sell it to him, so the shopkeeper kept it in mind and waited for it.
It took a month before I let my son try other methods.
In the end, this trial really worked. My son collected the big paint cans at a low price. He was still open today and was still waiting for his son. I didn’t expect to meet customers while waiting for my son.
He is very unfamiliar with Li Yang. You can tell that Li Yang is a foreigner by his accent, but it doesn't matter, as long as he has money to buy his own things. The most important thing for people who do business is to make money. This shop owner is not a collector.
Home.
"fifty thousand!"
Li Yang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then immediately gave a price. Although the general jar was good, it was a private kiln after all. In recent years, the appreciation of porcelain from ancient folk kilns was far less than that from official kilns.
Just like the pair of small bowls that Li Yang bought, the Qianlong folk kiln only cost 20,000 for a pair, but the Jiajing official kiln would cost 3 million, a difference of hundreds of times.
"Boss, I know from your bid that you are a real person. I can give you 50,000 yuan, but there is a condition. You must take the Xuande furnace. Together, the two of you will get 150,000 yuan!"
The store owner replied with a smile. He saw that Li Yang was really interested in the Guangxu General jar, so he put forward such a condition. The Xuande furnace was pressed on his hand for too long, and the store owner had already given up.
Going out, he decided not to let go when he met Li Yang this time.
"Two pieces, 120,000!"
Li Yang couldn't wait to agree to the shop owner immediately, but Li Yang also understood that if he agreed too readily, the shop owner would be suspicious.
"One hundred and forty thousand!" said the shopkeeper.
"One hundred and thirty thousand!" Li Yang immediately counter-offered.
"make a deal!"
The smile on the shopkeeper's face became deeper and his eyes became thinner and smaller, giving people the impression of a profiteer.
His son just watched from the side, and was very happy to see that the general jar was sold so quickly. This was the first time he went out to receive the goods alone, and he achieved such good results.
The shop owner only conducts cash transactions here. Li Yang asked Liu Gang to go back and get the money, while he stayed and chatted with the shop owner leisurely.
Ten minutes later, Liu Gang returned here with a bag containing money. Li Yang took out 130,000 in cash and gave it to the shopkeeper. After that, the damaged Xuande stove and the Guangxu Kiln General Jar became Li Yang's.
.
When the items were obtained, Li Yang took the Jiangjun jar and Xuande stove and left the antique shop. The owner's son went out specially to watch them go away before going back.
"Dad, we made a lot of money today. I only spent 500 yuan on the big can of paint plus shipping. You paid 20,000 yuan on the Xuande furnace. Today I made hundreds of thousands in one day!"
The son's expression was very excited, and the shop owner showed a sense of pride. He knew the Xuande stove was defective when he received it, and just wanted to see if he could fool people. The two hundred thousand was just to deceive Li Yang, and to make Li Yang feel bad.
Compassion.
So far, the shop owner thinks that the effect is pretty good. Li Yang fell in love with the large can of General that he just picked up, which made him earn a total of more than 100,000 yuan. With this business, he can eat and drink enough for this year.
As soon as he left the antique shop, Li Yang's suppressed heartbeat accelerated again. If Li Yang guessed correctly, what was hidden in the general jar should be a Ru kiln celadon brush washer. Ru kiln was one of the five official kilns in the Song Dynasty.
First of all, the number of fired porcelains handed down from generation to generation is very rare, so the value of this celadon glaze brush wash can be imagined.
The shopkeeper thought he had picked the leak, but he didn't know that the biggest leak had already been picked up by Li Yang.
Back at the hotel, Li Yang wanted to smash open the big jar, but Liu Gang was by his side, so he had no choice but to give up. Although the Xuande furnace was a broken product, it was also an antique. With this authentic Ru kiln celadon brush washer, Li Yang
Yang finally has his own collection, and he can confidently say that he is from the antique world.
After a good sleep, Li Yang was still in a good mood when he woke up the next day.
Li Can also got up very early. After last night's rest, he had recovered a lot of energy. After breakfast and the others were preparing to set off, Li Can was so surprised that he could not close his mouth when he saw the General Jar and Xuande Stove.
After getting in the car, Li Yang told Li Can what happened last night. Li Can looked at the two things carefully and kept shaking his head, saying that Li Yang bought them too expensive. The two things together were worth 100,000 yuan, which was completely considered a high price.
Li Can said that if he followed, he could help Li Yang buy it for up to 80,000 yuan.
Li Yang just smiled and didn't care. The real treasure was inside. Compared with the value of the Ru kiln celadon brush washer, these hundreds of thousands were just a fraction.
After Li Yang sent Li Can to Zhengzhou, he thought for a while and returned to Mingyang with Liu Gang. The pen washer was very expensive because it could not be put into the safe in the car while it was still in the general jar, which made Li Yang very unhappy.
Don't worry, I'll just send him home first. Mingyang is only over 200 kilometers away from Zhengzhou anyway.
