"Hey, is this Boss Chen? I heard that you want to purchase the Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower God's Cup, right? I happen to have a pair here, would you like to take a look at the goods..."
The caller was a stranger. Hearing the straight-to-the-point intention of the call, Chen Ran couldn't help but perked up and quickly asked for details.
This man's surname was Dai, and he said he had a February Magnolia Cup and a March Peach Blossom Cup for sale. If Chen Ran wanted it, he could go to him to see the goods, or he could bring the items to Chen Ran's place.
The edge is fine too.
Chen Ran asked the other party's location and heard that he was in Yuzhou City, so he agreed with the other party that he would go directly to see the goods.
Yuzhou City is a county-level city, and the area it belongs to is Xuchang City in Central Plains Province. When Chen Ran drives to Zhongdu, he will pass through Xuchang. When the time comes, he can just get off the expressway in Xuchang and go to Yuzhou City.
After making an appointment with the other party to meet in a hotel in Yuzhou, Chen Ran hung up the phone and drove towards Xuchang in high spirits.
After changing highways several times and taking more than two hours, Chen Ran arrived at the Xuchang Expressway, got off the highway, and entered Xuchang City. Chen Ran did not stop in Xuchang and headed straight for Yuzhou City.
.
Arriving to Yuzhou City after a long journey, Chen Ran did not rush to the hotel to meet Mr. Dai immediately. Instead, he checked the route and went to the antique market in Yuzhou City first.
Yuzhou City is located in the central part of Central Plains Province and is the central city on the southern edge of the Central Plains urban agglomeration. Yuzhou has a long history and is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. It is known as the first capital of China and is known as the hometown of Dayu Culture in China.
It is known as the hometown of Chinese ceramic culture and is also the capital of Chinese medicinal materials in the country.
China is the hometown of porcelain, and Yuzhou is an important birthplace of Chinese porcelain. It is the famous "Hometown of Chinese Ceramic Culture". Jun Kiln, one of the five famous kilns, is in Yuzhou, and its ceramic production has a history of more than 1,700 years.
Jun porcelain can be called the best among porcelains because of its four characteristics: nobility, magic, wonder, and wonder. With its simple shape, exquisite craftsmanship, complex glaze matching, and the magical kiln transformation of "one color enters the kiln and comes out with many colors",
The lakes and mountains, clouds and mist, people, animals, flowers, birds, insects, fish and other endlessly changing graphics, colors and wonderful charms are known as the first of the "Five Famous Porcelains" of China.
The saying "a piece of porcelain".
People who collect things usually travel all over the country. Why? It’s not just to find good things. If you want to find good things, you have to do this. After all, good things will not come to your door automatically. Don’t tell me.
I travel all over the country, and at least every time I go to a place, I have to go to the local antique market first. If there are no opportunities, I have to create opportunities by myself.
Chen Ran has now come to Yuzhou City, which is known as the "Hometown of Chinese Porcelain Capital Culture". He has to go to the antique city of Yuzhou. Even if he can't find good things, he at least has to experience the hometown of Porcelain Capital.
It has a cultural atmosphere, and the scale of Yuzhou City’s antique market is many times larger than that of Tianzhong City. Maybe there will be more things at the open door. Since you have passed by, you can’t miss it. Of course, there is one more thing,
That means he only has one energy aperture left. When he went to the antique market, he also accumulated some energy apertures.
The most famous antique market in Yuzhou City is naturally the Shenhe Antique Market, which is said to be called the "Central Plains Panjiayuan".
After asking for directions, I learned that the Huaxia Shengo Antique City is in Shengo Ancient Town, which is the birthplace of Jun kiln. When I heard that it was in Shengo Ancient Town, Chen Ran became interested and drove there directly.
Shenhe Antique City looks very grand, with blue bricks and red tiles, giving it a somewhat antique feel.
Parking the car at the door, Chen Ran strolled into the antique city. It was just past ten o'clock in the morning, which is when the antique city has the most people. The traders had already occupied the place. A red cloth was spread on the ground.
Stalls, each stall is filled with their own treasures.
Some people walked slowly and watched as they walked; some people gathered around the stalls and started haggling. They stretched out their fingers and gestured. The buyer and seller knew clearly, but the onlookers became more and more confused as they watched.
It's lively but not noisy, which is the characteristic of the antique market.
Chen Ran's time was tight, and he didn't have any goals. He followed the crowd and shuttled in front of each stall. If he saw the goods at some stalls, he would not waste time.
When visiting the stalls, I would stop to observe and absorb some energy. The variety and quantity of antiques here are obviously more than those of the Tianzhong City Antique Market, and even much more than the Beihuan Antique City in Zhongdu.
Along the way, he also absorbed more than eighty energy circles.
Although the energy aperture absorbed a lot, Chen Ran didn't see anything good. It seems that in the birthplace of Jun Kiln, there is also something with a big door.
As a casual observer, he inspected the stalls in the entire antique market and found nothing good. Chen Ran was still a little uninterested. Fortunately, he was better than others and at least gained some energy aura.
.
"You must have gained a lot of experience."
Chen Ran shook his head and squatted down in front of a street stall. He was not comforting himself by thinking this. He really gained a lot of knowledge. The antique market in front of him was indeed the hometown of porcelain. The things on the street stalls
Porcelain is the most popular, and there are almost all kinds of porcelain. As for whether it is true or false, I don’t know, at least Chen Ran hasn’t discovered it yet.
"Boss, how do you sell these porcelain tiles?" The stall Chen Ran squatted down was selling porcelain tiles. The insight he was thinking about was that these stalls selling porcelain tiles were in the antique market in front of him.
There are many such stalls, and there are piles of broken porcelain pieces piled on the stalls. There are many kinds of broken porcelain pieces, and there are even porcelain pieces from the five famous kilns.
Because precious porcelain is relatively rare, the collection of porcelain pieces has gradually attracted attention in recent years. Some porcelain has no originals, making the porcelain pieces even more precious.
For example, the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, the official kilns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and some special varieties such as Yuan blue and white porcelain are relatively expensive. Good porcelain pieces can be worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Although Chen Ran knows that collecting porcelain tiles is very popular now, he has never seen such piles of them for sale before. If you can't find good things, you can only buy some porcelain tiles and go back. You can't leave empty-handed.
Come home.
"You go ahead and choose. Once you have chosen, you will be given one yuan according to the size." The stall owner was a little older than Chen Ran and was not very talkative. Chen Ran wanted to buy his porcelain tiles and his attitude was not very enthusiastic. After he finished speaking,
He just sat there holding a book and started reading. He seemed to be a bookworm.
Chen Ran was not polite and picked them directly. He did not use the energy aperture to detect the pieces. From the tire and glaze cross-sections, he could see that the firing process was not very delicate. They were just ordinary porcelain pieces. Try not to repeat each type.
Just pick one of them.
After selecting about eight or nine pieces of porcelain, Chen Ran stopped. After all, the collection value of these porcelain pieces was not great, and there was no need to select so many.
Just when Chen Ran was about to stand up to pay the stall owner and leave, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a piece of porcelain in the corner of the stall.
This piece of porcelain is greenish-yellow, and it must have been used by the stall owner to hold down the red cloth of the stall. You really can't spot it if you don't pay close attention.
Chen Ran looked at the other corner of the stall and found another such porcelain piece also pressed with red cloth.
The reason why Chen Ran's attention was attracted was that when Chen Ran was about to stand up, the piece of porcelain suddenly reflected light, just like glass reflecting light.
Chen Ran was a little strange. He raised his head and saw the stall owner reading a book with his head down. He took the porcelain piece over while the stall owner was not paying attention. He held the porcelain piece between his hands. The feeling from his fingertips was very smooth.
Even the cross section didn't feel prickly. Just by the feel, Chen Ran felt that this should be a good piece of porcelain.
Chen Ran took the porcelain piece in front of his eyes and looked at it. The surface of the porcelain piece was green and yellow, and it looked crystal clear and moist... After all, the porcelain piece was too small, and Chen Ran couldn't tell what kind of porcelain piece it was. That's for sure.
The porcelain itself is definitely a rare piece of famous kiln porcelain.
Chen Ran was afraid of attracting the stall owner's attention, so he didn't look much at it. He directly selected this piece of porcelain. When the stall owner wasn't paying attention, he also took out the porcelain piece covered with red cloth on the other corner.
I glanced around, but I couldn't find such a piece of porcelain anymore.
"Boss, that's it. How much does it cost in total?" Chen Ran continued to select two or three pieces of porcelain, rubbed his legs, and stood up.
After hearing this, the stall owner put down the book, squatted down, and fiddled with the porcelain pieces Chen Ran selected. He divided the larger ones into one piece and the smaller ones into one piece. After checking, he said to Chen Ran: "This is
The nine larger ones cost thirty yuan each, and the six smaller ones cost twenty yuan each, a total of three hundred and ninety yuan."
"I'll pick two more yuan and give you four hundred yuan." Chen Ran saw that the stall owner didn't ask for excessive prices and the price he gave was quite realistic, so he didn't raise the price too much.
The stall owner was very cheerful and didn't say whether he wanted to choose the big one or the small one. He just waved his hand and agreed.
Chen Ran knelt down and picked two more pieces, put them in the bag handed over by the stall owner, took out four one hundred bills and handed them to the stall owner.
After leaving this stall, Chen Ran didn't stop any longer. This trip to Shenhe Antique City was considered a worthwhile trip. Although he still didn't know which kiln the two pieces of porcelain were from, at least he wouldn't lose money.
It's a small leak.
As soon as he walked out of Shenhe Antique City, Chen Ran received a call from Mr. Dai, asking when he would arrive in Yuzhou.
Chen Ran greeted the other party and immediately drove over in his car.
[I'm really sorry, a friend's foot was hit this afternoon and I sent him to have it checked...]
