Needless to say, the antiques and handicrafts market has many similarities with Liulichang in Beijing. Please search for the most comprehensive novel! There are more than 20 professional art institutions, mainly selling antiques and modern handicrafts.
The Antique City is located on Zhanyuan Road in Confucius Temple. It is a professional antique market built by Jinling City at a huge cost. Hundreds of merchants gather here. The products for sale include ceramics, calligraphy and paintings, jade, bronze, ancient coins, and ancient furniture.
Bamboo and wood ivory carvings and almost all the antiques you can imagine!
The huge scale makes Confucius Temple Antique City famous not only in the Jinling area, but also in the entire East China region. The Rongbaozhai branch in the capital and the Suzhou branch of the Chinese Artists Association are also in the area.
My own frontman is on duty in the antique city!
The remaining Taobao market is currently the largest antique exchange market in the Confucius Temple Archway. It is located in the northeast of the antique city. There are more than a hundred antiques and handicraft shops on the ground floor and third floor of the Taobao market, selling tens of thousands of antiques, calligraphy, paintings and handicrafts.
, with thousands of people visiting every day, it can be called a "popular place".
Therefore, Liu Dong had longed for the Confucius Temple!
And this place did live up to his expectations. Just looking at it from the street, you can see the dazzling array of antiques in the windows, as well as the various signboards such as pavilions, buildings, restaurants, and pavilions hanging on the buildings. Antiques trade.
Its prosperity is evident!
"Xiaodong, let me go to the antique city to get something first, and then we go shopping together. How about it?" Fu Kun asked after parking the car on the side of the road.
"Okay, no problem!"
The day was very long, and Liu Dong didn’t worry that he didn’t have time to visit the antique street, so he agreed easily!
"Then let's go, we'll be there in two or three minutes!"
With that said, the two people got out of the car. After locking the door, they walked dozens of meters along the street and arrived at the east gate of the antique city. Under the guidance of Fu Kun, the old horse knew the way, and the two took the elevator to San San.
building.
The space on the third floor is quite similar to that of many large shopping malls. However, the difference is that the stores of different sizes sell not daily necessities for food and clothing, but pieces of antiques and art that are difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake!
"This is it!" After leading Liu Dong through a few turns in the passage, the two stopped in front of a store.
"Zhu's Bronze Workshop! No wonder there are so many bronze sculptures inside?" Liu Dong said with a smile after taking a look at the plaque next to the entrance door.
"Haha, they do make bronze sculptures here! But the bronze sculptures here are extraordinary. In the entire Jinling City, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a bronze sculpture master with better craftsmanship than here!"
"So awesome!" Liu Dong said in surprise.
"Go in and take a look. You will know that what I say is true!"
"Then I really want to see it!"
After the words fell, Liu Dong followed Fu Kun and walked in.
After entering, Liu Dong looked around naturally. The layout was similar to that of most antique stores. In addition to the counter at the door, the surrounding shelves were filled with various brass sculptures. There were Buddha statues.
, pagodas, secular figures, and even copper engravings, and the skills are indeed exquisite as Fu Kun said!
"It's really good!" Liu Dong looked at it, nodded and said to himself.
"Of course, I always tell the truth!" As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Kun shouted inside, "Tong Datou, we're here for business!"
"Fu, you bastard, if you give me random nicknames again, I'm going to beat you up!" Following the voice, a tall young man with a square face and a head that seemed to be one size larger than ordinary people came from inside.
Walked out.
The man was wearing blue cloth clothing that looked like work clothes. The gloves on his hands had not been taken off, and there were even a few drops of copper solution on the clothes. It was obvious that he was still busy with his work just now!
"Hey, Junzi, I made a slip of the tongue and forgot. Please forgive me, please forgive me! It won't happen next time, I promise you!" After a haha, Fu Kun strode forward to greet him.
"I've said this countless times since I've known you. It makes my ears tingle when I hear it. You bastard is still going your own way!" the man known as Junzi said unmoved.
However, Liu Dong understood the closeness of the relationship between them from the words of the two people, which were full of irritation but not really angry.
"Hey, I still have friends here, save me some face!"
Hearing his old friend's deliberately lowered voice, Zhu Jun's eyes shifted to Liu Dong behind him, "Hello, my name is Zhu Jun!"
"Hello, I'm Liu Dong, nice to meet you!"
"Liu Dong?" Zhu Jun frowned. He always felt that this name was very familiar. He seemed to have seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it. So, he naturally looked at Liu Dong.
"I don't know, where is Mr. Liu from?"
"I'm from Shandong!" Liu Dong said immediately.
"A person from Shandong? Mr. Liu is from Shandong, how come he got involved with this unreliable guy?"
After Zhu Jun finished speaking, Fu Kun next to him said unhappily: "Hey, hey, what do you mean by messing with me? We are both the best among the younger generation in the domestic collectors industry, why can't we be together?
friend!"
"Collection? I remembered it!" After Zhu Jun suddenly clapped his hands, he pointed at Liu Dong and said in surprise and a bit of exploration, "Are you Liu Dong, the Liu Dong who opened the Yuanming Museum?"
"Oh, Mr. Zhu knows me too?" Liu Dong said somewhat surprised.
Didn’t you expect that a person who makes bronze sculptures in Jinling would know me?
"We only met today. However, in the past two weeks, the news about Mr. Liu on TV and newspapers has been overwhelming! Especially those rare treasures in your Yuanming Museum, even if I am in Jinling
All of them are like thunder! If I hadn't been busy with too much work recently and couldn't spare any time, I would definitely go to the capital to see the world-famous 'Yao Chi Holy Land', 'Nine Dragon Jade Cup', 'Shark Tears' and 'Nine Curved Beads'.
', the magic of 'dinosaur amber'!" Zhu Jun said with excitement.
At the same time, Liu Dong could also tell from the other person's words and demeanor that although the person in front of him was a bronze sculpture maker, he was also a person who was truly obsessed with art!
"Hey, Junzi, if you want to see the treasures in the Liu Dong Museum with your own eyes, you will have plenty of time in the future. Can you move out my Bronze Guanyin first? I'm still waiting to use it!"
Seeing the two of them chatting non-stop, Fu Kun next to him couldn't help but speak.
"Your Guanyin has been prepared a long time ago. Wait, I'll bring it out for you!" After Zhu Jun finished speaking with a serious and somewhat scolding expression, he turned his head again and said to Liu Dong in a friendly manner, "
Mr. Liu, please wait a moment, I’ll be back as soon as I can!”
"Okay, please, Mr. Zhu!"
After Liu Dong nodded, Zhu Jun turned around and glared at Fu Kun, then turned and walked into the inner room.
"This guy, I grew up wearing crotchless pants with him, and I've never seen him be so kind to me!" Fu Kun said with annoyance.
"Okay, is it fun to show off in front of me?" Liu Dong said angrily.
Real friendship is true when friends laugh and scold each other. If you are polite, it is to strangers!
"Hey, it's just talk!"
As soon as Fu Kun's expression of being a good boy fell, he saw that Zhu Jun had already left and came back. However, when he came back, he already had a statue in his hands that was about 45 centimeters tall, made of golden brass, and had a vivid image.
The natural child-giving Guanyin statue!
Before Zhu Jun could place the Guanyin statue on the table, Fu Kun's eyes lit up and he had already walked over.
"Junzi, you are indeed a good friend. This Guanyin statue has exquisite and gorgeous decorations, a majestic appearance, and a compassionate face. It is truly the best among bronze sculptures!" After leaning over to look at it for a while, Fu Kun couldn't help but admire it.
Liu Dong, who followed behind and looked at it, couldn't help but nodded when he heard this. Although he was not familiar with bronze carving, he was good at wood carving and jade carving. Although the materials were different, it did not hinder Liu Dong's appreciation.
Judging from this bronze statue of Guanyin alone, Zhu Jun's level of bronze sculpture has reached the threshold of a master! Although he is still far from the level of a 'master', he was able to reach this level in his early thirties.
It is very rare!
If Liu Dong himself did not have the help of the cheating device of the Relic Yuan Guang and relied purely on accumulated progress over time, by the time he reached the master level in jade carving and wood carving, he would probably be thirty years old like Zhu Jun.
"Mr. Zhu's skills in bronze sculpture are truly extraordinary!"
"Mr. Liu received the award. My current level is still far from the peak of bronze sculptures!" Although Zhu Jun said this, there was inevitably a trace of pride on his face.
But the other party does have reason to be proud. There are not many calligraphers, painters, and craftsmen who can advance to the master level at the age of thirty.
"Mr. Zhu is too modest!" After a pause, Liu Dong glanced at the counter next to him and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhu has superb bronze sculpture skills. I also want to buy a copper sculpture from your store. I don't know about Mr. Zhu."
Are you willing to sell it to me?"
"Haha, you're so polite, Mr. Liu! My shop is open for business, and it welcomes guests from all over the world, and brings wealth from all over the world. If Mr. Liu wants to buy a bronze sculpture from my shop, it is naturally our honor. There is no way we won't sell it.
The truth!" Zhu Jun laughed.
"That's good!" After saying that, Liu Dong turned around and walked to the door, then pointed at the bronze sculpture of a three-legged golden toad placed on the counter and said: "I want to buy this 'three-legged golden toad with copper coins in its mouth'. I hope
Boss Zhu can cut off love!"
"A phoenix cannot live in a phoenix tree, and a golden toad cannot live in anything other than a land of wealth." The place where the three-legged golden toad lives is a treasure land for gathering wealth. Placing golden toads in the house can attract wealth, spit out wealth, gather wealth, and suppress wealth.
It is the best mascot for doing business and promoting wealth. The mythical beast holds two strings of copper coins in its mouth, and the money it spits out is for wealth, which means "to attract wealth and make a lot of profits"!
Therefore, Zhu Jun also has such a golden toad in his shop!)
