Not every stall owner is as weird as that stall owner. Qin Mingyue can't tell whether the next thing she sees is genuine or imitation.*
Han Kongque knew that this was already considered a high imitation. Even those who knew some knowledge about antiques would not be able to see the slightest flaw. Only such imitations are confusing, and the more this happens, the more people will flock to it.
Like a vulture.
Anyway, Qin Mingyue was frightened. No matter how real things were, she would not take action again. She was completely despairing of her own vision and level.
There were not only those selling antique calligraphy and paintings, but also some strange things. Han Kongque saw a stall selling wood carvings, but the stall owner was an old man who looked to be in his sixties.
Seeing this, Qin Mingyue stopped in her heart. She squatted next to the stall and picked up the beautifully carved wood carvings and root carvings to observe them carefully.
"Wood carving, Han Peacock, you are also a master!" Qin Mingyue said.
The old man, who was waving his carving knife with his head lowered, raised his head and glanced at Han Peacock, then lowered his head and continued to work on himself.
Han Peacock didn't say much, he was observing the old man's wood carvings.
After a while, the old man stopped what he was doing and stretched out his hand to reveal in front of everyone a vivid puppy looking left and right.
Several people, including Han Kongque, were a little surprised. It took such a short time to carve out such an expressive little mouse, which shows the effort.
Han Kongque compared this skill with his own. In terms of carving, he was on par with him.
The big mouse that followed Qin Mingyue slipped out of the space and saw his appearance. He immediately jumped from Han Peacock's shoulder to the wood carving on the stall, circling around the wood carving, and kept squeaking in joy.
shouted.
Seeing that Qin Mingyue liked it, she bought the sculpture of a big mouse for fifty yuan.
Han Kongque waited for the old man to stop and then asked: "How come the old man is so skilled at carving and setting up a stall on the street?"
The old man glanced at Han Peacock and said, "We are at home all over the world. We just work together to make a living. Where would we be if we weren't on the street?"
Han Kongque was stunned for a moment and said, "I wonder if the old man can carve jade or something like that?"
"Are you interested in this?" As he spoke, the old man took out a white and moist seed jade from the package behind him.
Half of the leather of the seed jade has been uncovered, and a yellow scorpion is carved on it. There are other patterns. However, they are intertwined and you have to look carefully to distinguish them. However, only the exposed scorpion is enough.
It's eye-catching.
The yellow jade protruding from the body of the scorpion is as if it is transparent. It makes the scorpion look exquisite and translucent, even a bit cute.
"Is this carved by an old man?" Qin Mingyue was a little excited.
"Yeah." The old man looked a little unhappy at Qin Mingyue's question.
"It's the younger generation who are being rude. I wonder if the old man is interested in going to a specialized jewelry and jade shop to carve jadeite and jade products?" Han Kongque asked.
The old man's craftsmanship was good, so Han Kongque wanted to recruit him. Although he did not have a jewelry company, Zhou Meiren was in dire need of carvers who could work alone.
Phoenix Jewelry specializes in engraved pendants such as jade and jade, but it is really hard to find a good sculptor these days. Although she has many sculptors, people like Yang Tianfu and this old man are really
Rarely seen.
This is mainly because when Chen Jiayi and his Tenglong Jewelry were on the rise, they poached a number of them at high prices. Now that Phoenix Jewelry is expanding rapidly and has sufficient materials, it is the time when there is an urgent need for carving masters.
So when Han Kongque saw such an old man with exquisite carving skills, he felt a little anxious.
"I'm used to being idle, I can't stand being restrained anymore." The old man refused without thinking, and put away the jade he had just taken out for everyone to see.
Han Kongque was a little disappointed, but he still refused to give up: "If the old man comes over, the salary is easy to negotiate, and it is definitely better than the old man setting up a stall here."
The old man didn't speak anymore, and Han Kongque didn't know what to say. This was an obvious attitude.
I had no choice but to prepare to leave with first excitement and then disappointment. At this moment, a little girl of six or seven years old ran over from the side.
"Grandpa, I've sold out. Look, this is the money from the sale." He said and handed a handful of money in his hand to the old man.
However, Han Kongque stopped in his heart and asked: "Old man, is this your granddaughter?"
Several other people also stopped and turned around to see what Han Peacock wanted to do.
The old man dotingly touched the little girl's shaved head, looked up at Han Peacock in confusion and said, "Yes, what's going on with my granddaughter Nauribu at this time?"
"Tibetan? They are cute and have a nicer name." Han Kongque took a closer look at the old man, but he really didn't realize that this old man was actually a Tibetan. It is really rare to see such a powerful Tibetan jade carver.
Nauribu is a beautiful Tibetan girl with curved eyes, long eyelashes, and a straight nose. The most attractive thing is the two little tiger teeth, which is very cute. In Tibetan, Nauribu's name is a treasure.
Meaning, it can be seen from this that the old man loves Nauribu very much.
"Is the little guy six or seven years old?" Han Peacock asked with a smile.
With her grandfather by her side, the little girl was not that afraid of Han Peacock and looked at him seriously with clear eyes.
The old man didn't understand what Han Peacock wanted to say, so he nodded.
"It's time to go to school." Han Peacock said with a smile.
The old man's brows furrowed slightly. This had always been a knot in his mind. Since he had no fixed residence, he and his granddaughter did not have a household registration. Without a household registration, of course, they would not be able to go to school.
At this time, Huangshan understood what Han Kongque meant, and came forward and said: "Yes, old man, your granddaughter has reached the age to go to school. You have a stable job and place to live, and your children can be safe and sound."
Go to school."
At this moment, the old man did not refuse again, but frowned deeper and deeper, and finally said: "Let me think about this and give you an answer."
Huangshan opened his mouth to say something else, but Han Kongque pulled him and shook his head.
Huangshan immediately realized that Han Kongque meant that going too far was not enough, so he stopped trying to persuade him.
"Then think about it, this is my phone number. If you figure it out, you can give me a call." He took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to the old man. The old man did not refuse and took the business card solemnly.
Put it in your arms.
After they left, the old man touched the little girl's head and asked, "Nauribu, do you want to go to school?"
Nauribu lowered his head and replied softly: "I want to!"
Hearing his grandson's quiet reply, the old man seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Okay, let's go to school."
Then he started picking up the things on the floor.
"Grandpa, aren't you going to sell it today?" The little girl looked at her grandfather's actions with some confusion.
"I won't sell it anymore. I won't buy it anymore. Grandpa will send you to school." The old man said firmly.
The little girl didn't quite understand what the old man meant, but she still helped the old man pack his things: "Grandpa, do we have money?"
"Yes! We should be rich." Looking at the word "Magic City", the old man showed a wry smile. However, for the sake of his granddaughter, he should fight for it. If his granddaughter can go to school in Magic City, she should be successful in the future.
.
But after Han Kongque left, Qin Mingyue asked doubtfully: "Is this old man's craftsmanship really that good?"
Seeing that Huangshan also looked confused, Han Kongque said with a smile: "If we talk about artistic achievements, they are definitely not as good as some famous artists. If we talk about commodities, this old man is a master. At least his carving speed is not as good as some artists."
Comparable.”
"You mean that if you compare the artistic value of his works, he is definitely not as good as those who are famous. If he just makes goods, he is worse than those so-called artists?" Qin Mingyue immediately understood what Han Kongque meant.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "That's it. Also, the reason why I invited him to the Magic City is because I saw that their grandfather and grandson are capable of surviving in the Magic City."
"House prices in Magic City are not low, and school tuition is also a big burden." Huangshan interrupted at this time.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "I will provide him with a high-paying job, and the old man in the house can afford to buy it himself."
"Able?" Qin Mingyue and Huang Shan didn't understand how Han Kongque knew he was capable.
Han Kongque said no more, and since he put this matter aside for the time being, he continued to appreciate the various things placed on both sides of the road.
After a while, Huangshan, who had never shown interest in anything along the way, became interested in the jade Maitreya Buddha on a stall.
Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. They are definitely not bought to wear themselves, but given to women.
"What, you have a girlfriend?" Han Peacock asked teasingly.
Huang Shan smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of girlfriend is that? She's my sister. She's like the little witch in the family. She always asks me to bring her a gift. If I forget that time, I can torment you for weeks."
The stall owner is also an old man. Most of the people selling things here are elderly people. If young people sell antiques, first of all, it will give people an untrustworthy feeling because of their age. Only the old man's steady face can stand up to these.
The vicissitudes of things adapt to the situation, giving people a sense of reliability.
The stall's main price was three hundred, but Huangshan was unsure about paying attention, so he asked Han Kongque to help him take a look.
Han Peacock nodded and said, "It's quite kind."
This store does not sell antiques, but a variety of ordinary jade carvings and pendants. The prices are not exaggerated. At least this piece of jade is real and can be worth dozens of dollars.
Qin Mingyue was a novice herself so she didn't express her opinion. Han Kongque nodded, and Huangshan confidently paid for it and bought it as a gift for his sister during this outing. (To be continued, please search.
