...But what surprised Liu Dong was that in this calligraphy and painting street, most of the products sold were pens, inks, paper and inkstones for traditional Chinese painting, as well as brush washers, pen holders, pen holders, rulers and other study supplies.
.＊,, but there are not many shops selling Western oil paintings, watercolors, paints commonly used in sketches, pencils, drawing paper, canvas and the like.
When Liu Dong almost walked to the end of this street that was less than 200 meters long, he finally found a house. He finally bought all the things he wanted. However, Liu Dong also spent five years on these things.
More than a hundred yuan was considered a big purchase. Of course, with the existence of Mustard Seed Dimension, he was not afraid that he would not be able to get it.
With the boss personally seeing him off, Liu Dong walked out carrying a snakeskin bag filled with things.
In this heavy snakeskin bag, there are two stretchable aluminum alloy picture folders, a slightly heavy wooden easel, two hundred pieces of Marley brand sketch paper, and two oil paints of each color.
The brand is also Marley. Liu Dong originally wanted a better Winsor & Newton or Rembrandt, but they were not sold here, so he had to settle for the next best thing.
As for things like picture frames, canvases, nail guns, mixed oils, and paint brushes, Liu Dong’s Mustard Seed Space still had some that were useless, so I didn’t buy them.
After walking out of the calligraphy and painting street and seeing no one around, Liu Dong thought about it. The snakeskin bag originally carried on his back and the wooden easel sandwiched in the creaking nest were all transferred to the mustard space.
"Phew!" Liu Dong breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "It's better to be relaxed. Ever since I got the Mustard Seed Space, I've become more and more dependent on it! I don't know if it's good or bad!"
After putting aside this question that he couldn't understand, Liu Dong was going to walk to the intersection and stop a car to go to the long-distance bus station, and then take a bus to Songzi City from there.
However, when Liu Dong just walked to the intersection, he couldn't help but look at the corner on the left, where there was a dark-skinned middle-aged man in a somewhat rustic dress squatting on the ground, and in front of him, a blue and white furoshiki
, this piece is about the size of a laptop computer. The thickness at the widest point is about 15 centimeters.
The so-called Yushanzi is a round sculpture of a mountain and forest landscape. When making it, a plan is drawn first and then carved, so it is often named after the picture. Yushanzi is carved with mountains, forests, figures, animals, birds, flowing water, etc., with clear layers and different shapes.
, this kind of carving of mountain and forest landscapes expresses and permeates the composition of painting from framing, layout, to hierarchical arrangement.
As a special kind of jade, Yushanzi appeared in the Song Dynasty. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shanzi represented the highest level of jade carving art. Often on the same work, three-dimensional and vivid depictions of characters, landscapes, vegetation, animals, and other objects were created.
High relief, low relief, line engraving, engraving, multi-layer openwork and other techniques; the ability to accurately master complex patterns, and at the same time pay more attention to detail processing, making the Ming and Qing carving techniques reach a state of perfection.
After Qianlong, due to the lack of sources of large pieces of jade, Shanzi carving declined. Therefore, the quality of Yushanzi jade in modern times is basically very poor. Liu Dong also carved several pieces of Yushanzi before, but they were all small pieces.
The piece placed by the middle-aged man in front of me is already considered a large item.
Seeing this, Liu Dong raised his feet and walked over. At this time, he also noticed that in addition to the white jade Shanzi, there was also a piece of rough cardboard next to it, with fairly fair words written on it, 'Because of this.
My mother is sick at home, and the cost of hospitalization is too high. Now I have no choice but to sell this family heirloom - Hotan Baiyu Shanzi for 50,000 yuan, without any counter-offer! Please don't disturb me if you don't want to!'
This man's tone was quite strong, but the onlookers around him felt that he was cheating money, and this white jade mountain was simply fake.
However, with Liu Dong's eyesight, he could naturally tell that this white jade Shanzi was genuine Hetian white jade, but the material was not very good, with poor transparency and oiliness. It was a mountain material, and it was also a third-grade white jade among Hetian white jade, which basically belongs to
It's the lowest level. To use an analogy, it's similar to the jadeite jade. However, the Hetian white jade material is not that good, but the carving is good. It's still something from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. It can be regarded as having some collection value, but it only costs 50,000 yuan.
If you really want to buy this white jade shanzi, the money is really high.
However, under the light of Liu Dong's relics, there is something more valuable inside this white jade mountain.
"How do you sell this mountain?" Liu Dong's words immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd and the middle-aged man squatting on the ground.
After noticing the simple clothes and young figure, there was a hint of disappointment in the middle-aged man's eyes.
"Isn't it written on it? Fifty thousand!" The middle-aged man's words were weak, and he obviously didn't think Liu Dong could afford it.
"Little brother, this thing is fake, don't be fooled!" At this time, a man in his thirties next to him quickly advised Liu Dong after seeing that Liu Dong seemed to be interested in buying it.
"Yes, there are too many scammers these days. Last time we met one, Suntou, who was upstairs. I heard he was selling antiques. He was defrauded of ten thousand or twenty thousand?" This is what Auntie said.
Listening to the discussions around him, the middle-aged man squatting on the ground showed a look of anger. However, it was obvious that many people said this while he was setting up his stall, so although the middle-aged man looked angry, he did not
Argue again.
Of course, no matter what these people say, they still can't change Liu Dong's determination to buy this Yushanzi!
"I bought this white jade mountain!"
After listening to Liu Dong's words, the people who were talking about each other suddenly fell silent. It was obvious that Liu Dong's answer was beyond their expectations.
"Do you really want it?" The middle-aged man looked at Liu Dong with doubtful eyes.
Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled and said, "Of course!"
"If you are willing, we can trade now. I can give you fifty thousand yuan now."
After listening to Liu Dong's words, the middle-aged man quickly stood up from the ground, looked at Liu Dong and said repeatedly: "Yes, I am willing to trade now!"
He has been selling this white jade mountain for a day or two. There are many people asking for the price, but the highest price among them is only 10,000 yuan. Because it cannot meet his requirements, he has kept it until now. Originally, today he
What he planned was that if he really couldn't sell it for 50,000 yuan, he would drop it a little, which would help him sell some money and relieve his pressure.
Unexpectedly, someone actually offered 50,000 yuan, which was really beyond his expectation.
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Liu Dong took off the backpack behind him, then used the old method to take out 50,000 yuan from the mustard space and handed it to the middle-aged man, "This is 50,000 yuan, you can
See if it’s true or false, click a little by the way, and see if you have enough!”
The red notes were the most attractive. As soon as Liu Dong took out the fifty thousand yuan, the onlookers all became excited. The eyes looking at Liu Dong also changed a little. Of course, more of them were envious. He could easily take out the money these days.
Fifty thousand yuan to buy a white jade Shanzi figure that can neither be eaten nor drunk must be a wealthy person. What's even more rare is that Liu Dong is still so young.
"Money, right?"
Hearing Liu Dong's question, the middle-aged man nodded quickly and said happily: "Yes, yes, fifty thousand yuan is a lot!"
"Then I'll take the white jade shanzi!" After saying that, Liu Dong put the white jade shanzi on the ground into the large backpack on his back.
The middle-aged man also quickly picked up the small furoshiki on the ground, patted the dirt off, put 50,000 yuan inside, wrapped a few packages, and put it into the shoulder bag around his waist.
"Uncle, if you don't reveal your money, I advise you to deposit the fifty thousand yuan in the bank as soon as possible!" After saying that, Liu Dong threw his one arm, carried his backpack behind him, then turned around and walked to the roadside, quickly passing by.
After getting into a taxi, I opened the door, got in, and disappeared into the rolling traffic.
Perhaps it was because of Liu Dong's last parting words that the middle-aged man also reacted. He held the small baggage tightly with both hands, ran for hundreds of meters, and turned into a bank, which made the few pairs of people around him have bad intentions.
There was a look of regret in his eyes.
Of course, fortunately it was broad daylight and it was on the street, otherwise someone might have grabbed it directly.
…
After getting on the bus, Liu Dong quickly arrived at the long-distance bus station, and then got on the long-distance bus to Songzi City. He didn't encounter any robbers this time. It took more than two hours, and Liu Dong was safe.
We arrived at Songzi City, a county-level city.
When Liu Dong walked out of the station, which was still in the style of the 1980s, it was already noon.
Looking at the buildings around the station that were no more than three stories tall, Li Dong couldn't help but thought to himself: "Compared to his hometown of Qingzhou County, this looks even more dilapidated!"
Thinking of the bumps in the car along the way, especially after entering Songxi County, and the continuous terrain of five to six hundred meter peaks and canyons, Liu Dong thought that his next journey would definitely not be smooth.
After leaving the bus station, Liu Dong was not familiar with the place he was going to, so he didn’t know how to get where he wanted to go, so he bought a map of Songzi City when he left the bus station!
Then I found a decent-quality restaurant near the station and walked in.
Perhaps because it was close to the station, there were quite a few people eating here at noon, so Liu Dong found a table near the corner and sat down.
Considering that after entering the village, the food might not be too rich, Liu Dong decided to treat himself with this meal first.
Therefore, although Liu Dong had a hard time listening to the landlady's Hu-bei Songxi dialect, the dishes were still good! Especially the famous local dishes Du Po Chicken, Songzi Fish Cake, Bianshui Mandarin Fish, Pine Milk Mushroom, etc., which are enough to satisfy Liu Dong.
There are more than a dozen different dishes, which makes Liu Dong very satisfied.
