Chapter 614: Digging out the old house
…
"Xiaodong, let's go out, there's really nothing interesting to see here except for things from the Neolithic Age!" Liang Sicheng said.
"Go out, where?"
The Chongqing Three Gorges Museum is not large, and the collection is not large. As Liang Sicheng said, most of them are stone tools, bone tools and pottery from the Neolithic Age, as well as some bronzes from Ba, mainly weapons.
, so after going around and reading it, Liu Dong also lost the desire to continue reading.
"Hey, it's your first time in Chongqing. I'll take you to check out the old house first, and then we'll go play on the river! Come on, you're sure to follow me!" Liang Sicheng patted Liu Dong's arm.
Liu Dong is no stranger to digging out old houses, but he has never done it in the antique business for almost a year, so he was a little moved after listening to what Liang Sicheng said. After calling Mr. Wu, he said,
The two of them came to the east of Chongqing City under the leadership of Liang Sicheng!
As a famous cultural city with a history of three thousand years, Shancheng is a municipality and the economic center of the entire southwest region. There are many cultural monuments left over from history, and there are naturally many old houses in the urban area, just like most Chinese cities in the early 2000s.
, the mountain city is also undergoing a transformation from old to new, and municipal construction, including residential buildings, is in full swing.
Just like what Liu Dong saw at this moment, this stilted building built on the mountain with strong Bashu characteristics. On the yellow and white wall, a bright red and dazzling word 'demilitarize' is doomed that everything here will eventually be inferior to its existence.
More modern buildings are rising here.
I don’t know how to describe Liu Dong. He is reborn from the ashes. Or is he trampling on traditional culture as the moralists think?
No matter what, these things are not what he cares about, or even can change!
Because of the relocation, there are only a few residents here, and the remaining ones may be dissatisfied with the compensation conditions and are still spending time here. Therefore, when Liang Sicheng and Liu Dong came over, the surroundings were deserted. If not
The sun is shining brightly in broad daylight, but looking at the broken windows of the shabby houses around me, it almost looks like a ghost!
"Old Liang, is it reliable to come here to buy an old house?" Liu Dong hesitated.
"It should be reliable, right?" Liang Sicheng also seemed a little hesitant. Are there really any antiques left in a place like this?
"should?"
Faced with Liu Dong's questioning, Liang Sicheng scratched his head with embarrassment, "Actually, I only came here after being introduced by a friend, and I've never been here before!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong felt a little disappointed, but since he came here, he couldn't just leave like this, he had to see what happened!
"Here we are, right here!"
After Liang Sicheng finished speaking, Liu Dong also saw the courtyard-style stilted building more than ten meters away. This form of stilted building was developed on the basis of the double-slung style. Its characteristic is that the upper parts of the stilted building at both ends of the main house are connected.
They are integrated into a courtyard to form a quadrangle. The downstairs of the two-room house is the gate. After entering the gate of this kind of quadrangle, you have to go up a few stone steps to enter the main house.
"I'm going to knock on the door!...Dong dong, is there anyone?"
After Liang Sicheng finished speaking, at the window on the second floor of the stilt building, a dark-faced, thin man leaned half out of the window. He looked at the two of them first and then focused his eyes on Liang Sicheng, who was knocking on the door. "What do you do?
?”
"It was Cao Zhiqiang from Zhongxing Road Antique Market who introduced us!" Liang Sicheng said.
"Wait a minute!" After saying that, the thin man shrank back again.
Looking at the closed window, Liu Dong's eyes showed a trace of amusement. He didn't expect that he would encounter such an interesting thing when he visited the old house for the first time!
"Hey, how long has it been? Why haven't you opened the door yet? Do you treat guests like this?" Liang Sicheng banged on the door and shouted dissatisfiedly, which could be heard within five hundred meters.
Liu Dong also didn't expect that his new friend would still be impatient, but he would have been angry if he waited outside for half an hour when there was clearly someone inside.
"Okay, Lao Liang, be patient for a moment, the door will open soon!"
"how do you know……!"
Before Liang Sicheng finished speaking, he saw the originally closed door creaking open from the inside, and the same man came out.
"Do you treat your guests like this? You actually made us wait outside for half an hour!" Liang Sicheng, who was furious in his heart, forgot to ask Liu Dong the reason and turned to vent his dissatisfaction to the thin man!
"Haha, calm down, we have no choice. If the boss hadn't just finished reading it now, you would still have been waiting!" the thin man said with a smile.
"Okay, Lao Liang, let's go in!" Liu Dong said with a smile, holding down Liang Sicheng who was about to continue losing his temper.
"Huh, forget it, okay!"
The deal was done, and Liang Sicheng also knew that if he got angry again, he would not be able to change anything except that he felt uncomfortable!
And just after the thin man walked in with the two of them, a middle-aged man with a wide body, a fat body, wearing gold and silver, and a nouveau riche temperament all over his body walked out with two bodyguards behind him.
"Boss Xue, you're on your way!" the thin man said with a flattering smile.
"Um!"
With a snort, the middle-aged boss walked over without even looking at the thin man.
Watching this scene, Liu Dong squinted his eyes, and then glanced at the two pieces of blue and white porcelain in the hands of the bodyguard behind the middle-aged man, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Xiaodong, what's wrong?" Liang Sicheng asked in surprise after noticing the strange expression on Liu Dong's face.
"It's okay, let's go!"
After hearing this, Liang Sicheng glanced at him and continued walking towards the steps.
Just as the two of them entered the main room, a middle-aged man wearing a black jacket, dark complexion, somewhat narrow eyes, and a slightly hooked nose stood up and came to greet them.
"Both of you, I'm really sorry. I just greeted Boss Xue, so I made you wait outside for a long time!"
"Forget it, we are here to buy antiques. As long as you have something we are satisfied with, it doesn't matter if it takes longer!" Liu Dong waved his hand.
"Haha, this is easy. I guarantee that the antiques here will satisfy you two! Please sit down, you two! ... You are talented, let your sister-in-law take out the things!"
"I know, brother!" After agreeing, the thin man quickly walked into the side room next to him.
"I wonder what we call you two?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.
"My surname is Liang, and this is my friend, Liu Dong!" Liang Sicheng said.
"I didn't expect to meet two young talents today. It's such an honor for Mr. Sun!"
After the middle-aged man surnamed Sun finished speaking, the curtain of the side room next to him was lifted from the inside, and then a middle-aged woman in her thirties wearing a light yellow dress was holding a blue and white double-ear flat dress about 40 cm high.
The pot came out, and the thin man followed behind her.
After the woman glanced at Liu Dong and Liang Sicheng, she placed the blue and white flat pot in her hand on the low table in the middle of the living room.
To be honest, except for the Eight Immortals table in the middle, a few chairs and the low table in the middle, there is no furniture in this hall. Anyone who lives at home will not think that this place can be lived in, but compared to the exquisite
When it comes to antiques, few people pay attention to these details.
"Blue and white bean green glaze flat kettle with two ears!" Liang Sicheng said in surprise.
Although he mainly specializes in the appraisal of calligraphy and painting, he also has some research on porcelain.
Just when Liang Sicheng was holding the blue and white flat pot in his hand and studying it, Liu Dong noticed the glint in the eyes of the middle-aged man named Sun, as well as several eye contact between him and the thin man and woman.
"Mr. Sun is also in the antique business?" Liu Dong suddenly asked.
"Um, oh, no!" The middle-aged man surnamed Sun didn't expect Liu Dong to ask suddenly and almost didn't react. "These antiques were all left by my father. If he hadn't passed away, I would have encountered some troubles in my business."
, if I happen to need money, I will not sell any of these antiques passed down by his old man!"
After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man's face turned gloomy.
However, Liu Dong could find that there was no trace of sadness in the other person's eyes.
"Liu Dong, this blue and white flat pot with two ears is from the Jiaqing official kiln. It's a good thing! Take a look!"
Liang Sicheng's excited voice made Liu Dong's eyes focus on the Jiaqing official kiln that he was holding in his hands. However, because of the relic's sunshine, Liu Dong had already known the authenticity of this thing.
So after taking a few glances at the Jiaqing official kiln wares as a matter of routine, Liu Dong said: "Mr. Sun, I really like this porcelain. Please make an offer!"
Seeing the two people's eyes focused on him, the middle-aged man surnamed Sun smiled, stretched out a finger and shook it, "One million!"
"What? One million? Why don't you go and grab it? Even the market price of fine blue and white porcelain from the Jiaqing official kiln is only 600,000!" Liang Sicheng, who was impatient, couldn't help but said at first.
"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Liang. If it's for sale, if you think it's too expensive, can you not buy it?" The middle-aged man said with a kind smile.
"You...!" Liang Sicheng's expression changed.
However, although this middle-aged man is desperate for money, he is right in what he said. Business is based on your own will. If you think it is expensive, you don't have to do it.
"I want one million!" Liu Dong suddenly said.
"Xiaodong, he is obviously blackmailing, don't be fooled!" Liang Sicheng said quickly.
"It's okay. The current antique market is on the rise. One million may be a bit expensive now, but it may not be the same price in seven or eight years. After all, this is a Jiaqing official kiln artifact, which is rare in the market!
Liu Dong said with a smile.
