Yu Fei is indeed tempted. Although the items at the auction are mediocre in terms of value, the number of antiques circulating in the Japanese market is evident. In addition, Dong Dechang has also said before that Japan is the country that plunders the most Chinese antiques.
So the idea of going to Japan to pick up leaks had already arisen in Yu Fei's mind.
Of course, Yu Fei would not think that he could pick up all the treasures in Japan with just his right hand, but there were too few treasures in the domestic antique market. After returning to Ningdu from Pengcheng, Yu Fei went shopping a few times.
At the Tiangong and Confucius Temple antique markets, he wanted to pick up a few items with large openings to decorate the facade, but to his disappointment, there were very few items with open openings in the antique markets. Even the few items that existed were not treasures, and the prices were ridiculously high.
The newly bought villa in the Olympic Sports Center is being renovated. Yu Fei wants to imitate Dong Dechang and build an antique collection showroom, but now he can't even get anything except the Chixiao Sword in his hand.
There are no collections
Are Yu Feijun hesitating? Then what you just said was all a lie to Saori. Seeing that Yu Fei didn't speak for a long time, Mitsui Saori said again.
How could Yu Pegasus make up his mind: I will go there in ten days.
That's settled, Saori will be setting up a drink in Tokyo for you to come. Mitsui Saori smiled and hung up the phone.
Faced with Mitsui Saori's pretense of cuteness, Yu Fei could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Of course he would not think that Mitsui Saori was a silly and naive ordinary little girl. On the contrary, the more she acted like this, the more Yu Fei became wary of her.
The stronger.
Still nostalgic for it. Suddenly, Leng Yufei's playful voice sounded in my ears.
What is nostalgia? Don’t make blind guesses. Yu Fei quickly covered it up and said: By the way. How is Uncle Leng doing? What did the doctor say?
Leng Yufei's face darkened and she said: The doctor said that my father's health is getting better and his brain waves have also improved a lot, but he is still not sure when he will wake up.
This is a good thing. You should be happy. Yu Fei consoled him.
You are right, I hope dad can wake up one day early. Leng Yufei forced a happy face: By the way, what are your plans for the afternoon? Should I send you back to rest?
I'm not tired. If it's convenient, let the driver take me to Panjiayuan. I want to go shopping there. Yu Fei said that Panjiayuan is a famous antique market in the country and has a great reputation. Of course I have to go to Kyoto, maybe
What else will be gained?
Okay, I won’t go back this afternoon. I’ll accompany you for a walk around Panjiayuan, so that you don’t have to blame me for being tricked. Leng Yufei said with a smile.
How can the general manager of Heitangtang skip work? This is not a good example. Yu Fei joked.
I skipped work with the chairman. If anyone dared to say no, he would be fired. Leng Yufei bared his teeth and said fiercely.
Panjiayuan was a spontaneous flea market in 1992. It was transformed into a flea market in 1995, and it was not developed into an antique market until 1999 because of its antique architecture and original flavor.
The transaction method quickly became popular, and many people came here to search for treasures every day.
Yu Fei took Leng Yufei around the antique market but was disappointed to find that it was almost impossible to find something missing here. As the old saying of Yu Yu's mother said, a coincidence is a fool's errand.
In the end, Yu Fei spent 20,000 yuan to buy a picture of Fang Shaochen’s painting of pine trees and cranes prolonging life, which he planned to give as a gift to visit Mr. Ye tomorrow. Fang Shaochen was from Xinghua, Suzhou, and later settled in Changzhou. His painting style is casual and sophisticated.
, the picture of pine and crane extending life is also pretty good.
Just when Yu Fei was walking back in a dull mood, he heard someone calling from behind: "Teacher Yu, Teacher Yu."
Yu Fei didn't think he was being called, so he ignored him until he was blocked by a fat man in his thirties.
Teacher Yu, you, the fat man, are really excited to see Yu Fei.
Are you calling me Yu Fei asked uncertainly. Since the Treasure Appraisal Conference, few people have called themselves Teacher Yu anymore.
The fat man's name is Kong Dashan. His hometown is in northern Anhui, which is very close to Yu Fei's hometown. It is said that he later made a fortune in foreign trade business and moved his family to Kyoto.
Collecting has become popular in the past few years, and Kong Dashan followed suit, but his level was not high. He bought a whole house of collections in a few years, but there were few open items. He paid a lot of tuition.
During the last treasure appraisal meeting, Fatty Qi even brought a white porcelain vase from Kyoto to Ningdu for appraisal. The person who appraised it at that time was Yu Fei. The last porcelain vase was identified by Yu Fei as a pure white porcelain bottle from the Tang Dynasty.
The market value was only over 100,000, but it allowed Kong Dashan to earn a lot of face in front of his friends. He talked about it with almost everyone he met, and by the way, he also mentioned Yu Fei. He was deeply impressed and highly respected by Fei.
, he was actually able to recognize him at a glance in the bustling crowd.
Speaking of the past events of the Treasure Appraisal Conference, Kong Dashan said with great enthusiasm: Teacher Yu, it is rare to meet you in Kyoto. I treat you to dinner and thank you very much. You must appreciate it.
Mr. Kong, please don't be polite. That's my job. I can't thank you. Yu Fei said humbly: Besides, I have something to do in the afternoon. How about we get together next time?
Seeing what Yu Fei said, Kong Dashan couldn't force it, and said rather embarrassedly: "Then it's settled, but I, Lao Kong, have one more thing that I want to trouble the teacher about today."
Kong Dashan wanted to ask Yu Fei to help with appraisals. Kong Dashan's foreign trade business was getting bigger and bigger. He recently bought a villa in Kyoto and wanted to buy some old furniture to put it in.
I just saw a pair of red sandalwood longevity chairs at Panjiayuan Furniture Market. According to the stall owner, they were handed down from the Qing Dynasty and cost me 80,000 yuan without any hesitation.
According to Kong Dashan, the stall owner is over sixty years old, slovenly, and wearing a small melon-skin hat. He really looks like an old man from the Qing Dynasty. As soon as Kong Dashan saw this appearance, he thought the things were real and wanted to buy them.
When he was walking, he saw Yu Fei and chased after him.
When Yu Fei heard this, he felt there was something wrong. In the 1900s, there were quite a few cases of old people and young people selling off their property when their families fell into poverty in the Qing Dynasty. There were indeed many good and old things. But now it is already the beginning of the 2000s. Those old things
Everything that needs to be bought is almost gone. There is still a chance that an old man and a young man will sell their property. And it is in Panjiayuan. If it is true, I am afraid that it has been bought by someone long ago. Where is your turn, Kong Dashan?
Brother Kong, I don’t have much research on furniture. Yu Fei declined. Furniture is one of the antique businesses, and he also dabbled in it when preparing for the treasure appraisal conference. Moreover, his appraisal relied on the energy of chaos and research.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't study the basics. The reason why he declined was because he and Kong Dashan were not familiar with each other and could not commit the crime; secondly, the antique market had its own rules. Bystanders were not allowed to speak. This was also why Dong Dechang made his first
The reason why Yu Fei didn’t say a word when he met Yu Fei at the Tianning Temple Antique Market.
Teacher Yu, you are too modest. You are a master of antique collection. Even if you have not studied it, you are much better than me. Qi Dashan did not give up at all: I know there are rules here. Please help me in a moment.
Look, you don’t need to talk. If it’s old, just nod. If it’s new, just shake your head. You think it’s better than the teacher, so please help me. What I care about is not the small money, but worrying about my family.
The person at the head, she said something. If I hit her again, I won't be allowed to play with collections in the future.
Leng Yufei was amused by Kong Dashan's words. Then she said to Fei: Yu Fei, if it doesn't take any trouble, just help him take a look.
Yes, Teacher Yu. You see your wife has spoken. Kong Dashan said quickly.
Who is he? Leng Yufei's face turned red and she wanted to refute, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Now that Leng Yufei had also spoken, and Yu Fei also felt that Kong Dashan was more down-to-earth, he nodded and said: Brother Kong, let’s talk ugly things first. I am not an expert. If you are not sure, don’t complain.
I.
Don't worry, Teacher Yu. Is our old Kong the kind of person who doesn't know what's good or bad? Kong Dashan was overjoyed and almost swore that he would not blame Yu Fei no matter whether Yu Fei's vision was accurate or not.
Yu Fei followed Kong Dashan and quickly arrived at the stall. The old man looking at the stall looked at the three of them proudly and said nothing.
Teacher Yu, please take a look at this pair of chairs. Kong Dashan whispered beside Yu Fei.
What Kong Dashan is referring to is a pair of longevity chairs. The material seems to be made of red sandalwood and is well preserved. If true, the price of 80,000 yuan is indeed not high.
Yu Fei took a closer look and found that this pair of chairs indeed matched the characteristics of Qing Dynasty furniture.
The collection of furniture started relatively late. After Wang Shixiang's book Appreciation of Ming-style Furniture was published in 1985, collectors from Hong Kong and Taiwan poured into the mainland in large numbers to search for Ming and Qing furniture.
Searching in old houses, Ming and Qing furniture such as huanghuali, mahogany, ebony, and chicken wings were removed at very low prices, which caused the price of Ming and Qing furniture to skyrocket nearly 10 times. By the mid-1990s, the trading of Ming and Qing furniture had become antique trading.
The highlight of the show.
Compared with Ming-style furniture, Qing Dynasty furniture is rich and solemn in shape, generous in materials, enlarged in size, and rich in body; in decoration, it seeks to be rich and luxurious, using a variety of materials and techniques, and common all-over decoration
, there is no blank space, reaching unprecedented magnificence and splendor.
Furniture identification is mainly based on the selection of materials, moldings, carvings, inlays and other decorative techniques. At the same time, classical furniture uses raw lacquer and hot wax, preferably beeswax with a wax content of 95%, and then polishes it with wax to make the surface of the furniture bright and clean, and the corners are smooth. Carving
The craftsmanship is sophisticated and creative, and the stone used has an abstract style. The lines are elegant, fully dried, and not afraid of cracking. However, modern imitations are often replaced with paint. The interfaces have saw marks, the lines are complicated, and they are easy to crack and deform. They are bonded with nails and glue.
The craftsmanship is quite rough.
The decorative pattern of this pair of longevity chairs is that of auspicious clouds holding the sun, which is in line with the characteristics of the aristocratic family of the Qing Dynasty. It is also very expensive to buy. Overall, it looks authentic.
However, Yu Fei also knew that if he relied solely on vision and experience, his level would not be much better than Kong Dashan, and he would ultimately have to rely on the energy of chaos.
Yu Fei was surprised when he guided the energy of chaos to investigate. To be continued...
