Chapter 701 Qing Dynasty Bronze Shop Head

ps: I'm very sorry. I promised everyone that I would do the third update today, but I didn't expect that the company was working overtime and I had to rush to code this chapter. It seems that I can't finish the third update today, but Dongren will try to complete the third update tomorrow.

, make up for today’s arrears! Please rest assured!

In addition, I would also like to thank the book friend ‘Ayano’ for his monthly ticket support for ‘A Happy Night’ and ‘My Dream: Apocalypse’ (two copies). Thank you very much!

Chapter 701 Qing Dynasty Bronze Pagoda



"Wang Laosi, are you at home?"

Liang Bingzhong banged two slightly shabby wooden doors. The sound would wake up anyone at home even if they were sleeping.

"Who is it?" Along with the sound of footsteps coming from far and near, the originally closed door was opened from the inside. What appeared in front of several people was a thin middle-aged man wearing a white vest and looking a little slovenly.

.

"Liang Bingzhong, why did you come to my house when you were free? Who are they?" Wang Huaiguang's eyes quickly noticed Liu Dong and Wu Yunxin who were following Liang Bingzhong.

"Oh, these two are looking for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yunxin stepped forward and stretched out his right hand and said: "Hello, we are coming from Quancheng. I heard that you have a lot of old things here, so I came to take a look. I hope you don't mind!"

His words were polite, and Wang Huaiguang naturally understood what he meant. After sizing up Wu Yunxin, he held his hand and shook it briefly.

"It's easy to say, as long as your price is right, I'll sell whatever you want!...Come in!" With that said, Wang Huaiguang opened the door.

Then Liu Dong followed at the end, and the group walked in.

Generally speaking, the yard in rural areas is basically a model. The entrance is in the southeast corner. The toilet is in the northwest corner. Then there are wing rooms on the east side, and chicken coops and pig pens on the west side. Debris is sometimes piled up in the yard, and of course there is no farming.

People's homes are generally kept very clean.

On both sides of the north and south, in addition to the fixed main room on the north side, people on the south side facing the street often build a wing room. When there is a chance to do a small business in the future, it will be a door. But generally the location is not very good.

It is rarely built anymore!

For example, in Wang Laosi's home, except for the wing on the east wall, the yard is full of messy debris.

Hoes, shovels and the like are common items in farm households.

After entering the main room along the corridor, there was another very bad main room. At this time, Liu Dong also discovered that Wang Laosi was still lame on one leg and walked with a limp.

"The house hasn't been tidied up for a long time. Please forgive me!" With that said, Wang Laosi took out a few matzas from the corner and gave them to Liu Dong and Liu Dong. [800]

Although there were chairs and sofas nearby, they were piled with dirty clothes and smelly socks, making it impossible to sit on them.

Neither Liu Dong nor Wu Yunxin wanted to stay in this kind of environment.

After taking the water from Wang Huaiguang and saying thank you, Wu Yunxin didn't drink it, so he put it on the low table next to him, and then said directly: "I'm older than you, so I'll just call you Brother Wang, right?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter, I can call you whatever you want!"

"Okay, brother Wang, what about us? We have been out of the city for a long time, and we are anxious to get back before noon. Do you think we should take a look first?" Wu Yun said.

"That's easy to say, you two come with me!" Wang Laosi didn't shirk and stood up directly.

Then, he led the two of them into the partition on the right side of the living room. Out of curiosity, Liang Bingzhong followed behind.

Compared with the mess in the living room, although the layout in the partition is simple, it is undoubtedly much neater. Moreover, Wang Huaiguang is obviously more concerned about this place and cleans it very diligently. The porcelain placed on the large wooden bed in the corner

, there is not much dust on antiques such as Buddha statues.

"Take a look, you two. All my things are here. If you are satisfied with anything, let's discuss the price!" Wang Laosi said.

"Haha, then we won't be polite!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Yunxin had already moved in front of the big bed. The nearly 8-square-meter bed board was filled with various antiques, large and small, just like the ordinary antique stalls in the Quancheng antique market.

However, compared to the antique stalls that can be seen everywhere in Quancheng Antique Market, it is really difficult to get these things in the countryside.

Moreover, compared to the Quancheng antique stall where almost all stalls are fakes, Wang Laosi at least has a few good things here. Although most of them are not worth much, if you take them all, you can probably make a few bucks.

Thousands of dollars.

"Xiaodong, don't you look at it!"

Wu Yunxin asked after occasionally noticing Liu Dong who was almost indifferent next to him.

"I won't read it. There's nothing I like in it!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

Liu Dong, who had already inspected the relics with Yuanguang, was really not interested in these ordinary antiques. After all, he was now a collector of nearly 100,000 antiques.

Of course, if he wasn't with Wu Yunxin today, he wouldn't mind buying something for his antique shop.

"Brother Wang, how did you sell this shop head?" Wu Yun asked.

The shop head is a traditional architectural door decoration of the Han nationality that has the meaning of exorcism. The ring decorations on the door leaf are mostly in the shape of a ring with the head of a smelting animal. If it is made of gold, it is called a gold shop; if it is made of silver, it is called a silver shop; if it is made of copper, it is called a gold shop.

, called Copper Shop.

The animal head holding a ring has long been seen on copper ornaments of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It is a kind of animal face pattern and has many shapes. It holds a ring under its mouth and is used for decoration inlaid on the door. It is usually made of metal.

They are made in the shapes of tigers, chilies, turtles, snakes, etc. Temples in the Han Dynasty often decorated pavements to drive away demons and ward off evil spirits. They were also widely used on the doors of Han people to avoid disasters and seek blessings, and to pray to gods to dare to fight like beasts.

So brave to protect the personal and financial safety of his family.

Although Pushou is only a niche among collectors, the rare ones are also worth thousands of gold.

For example, the Warring States period copper shop head with phoenix and dragon pattern is one of the top ten treasures in the collection of the Hebei Museum. It is also a world-famous pair of Warring States war period shop heads with mixed gold and silver gluttonous patterns collected by Chinese collector Yu Jian.

The Warring States period gold and silver royal pavilion collected by the Belgian collectors Ullens and his wife, and the Spring and Autumn cast ultra-fine bronze pavilion collected by Zhou Yijie of Shandong Province are known as the four heavenly kings of Chinese pasuou.

Of course, the shop head in Wu Yunxin's hands at the moment is just a bronze shop head from the Qing Dynasty with relatively exquisite decoration. It has an animal face relief, wide eyebrows and bulging eyes, a serrated nose, sharp hook teeth at the corners of the mouth, and a left-right symmetry relief on the bit ring.

The dragon pattern.

Moreover, there are no defects on the shop front and not much rust, so it has a high collection value.

"6000!" Wang Huaiguang glanced at the bun in Wu Yunxin's hand and said directly.

"Can it be less, how about 5,000?" Although he knew that even if he bought it for 6,000, he would still make a profit, but his long-term professional habit still made Wu Yunxin bargain up the price on the spot.

"At least six thousand, I won't sell it any less!" Wang Huaiguang shook his head.

The two argued for a long time, and finally Wu Yun bought this Qing Dynasty bronze shop head with a credit of 5,600 yuan.

Seeing this, Liu Dong just took a few glances at the bronze shop head in Wu Yunxin's hand and then lost interest. There were several pieces of shop head in his hand, and each one was better than the one in Wu Yunxin's hand, especially the one from King Zhuang's tomb last time.

The two pieces of miscellaneous gold and silver animal-faced dragon and phoenix patterned pavements obtained from the collection are not only in complete condition, but also in value no less than or even greater than the so-called four major pavements in China.

An hour later, Wang Huaiguang spent 20,000 yuan and bought five or six antiques and walked out of Wang Huaiguang's home.

However, before Wu Yunxin could be happy for long, a phone call brought his excitement after having gained a lot of money to the bottom.

"What's wrong, Uncle Wu?" Liu Dong asked in surprise.

"It's all that little brat. I managed to support him through four years of college, but in the end he couldn't even find a job! Now, I beg my grandpa to sue my grandma, spend money to give gifts, and give people smiles, and finally give him a job."

The Municipal Culture Bureau gave him a temporary establishment. As long as he worked hard for a few years, he would be able to become a regular employee. How good would it be to be a civil servant with an iron rice bowl? But he didn't. He had only been working for a few days and was absent from work for five days.

Six times, this time his boss called home again, and he was fired immediately! I was really pissed off!" Wu Yunxin gasped and said with an angry expression.

It can be seen that he is really sad and angry about his son's failure.

"Uncle Wu, don't worry. Young people in their early 20s are often impetuous. They will be fine after a few years!" Liu Dong consoled him.

"Oh, Xiaodong, if my boy is half as sensible as you, I won't have to worry about it in this life!" Wu Yunxin glanced at the smiling young man next to him and sighed.

"Haha, Uncle Wu, please don't praise me. You never saw how angry I made my dad when I left home to work!"

"Okay, don't comfort you Uncle Wu. We haven't been together for a day or two. I still don't know who you are?" Shaking his head, Wu Yunxin continued, "Xiaodong, I originally wanted to take you out for questioning.

I might be able to catch one or two big leaks by then, but it seems like there is no chance now. I will rush back now to find that little brat and come to apologize to the leader! Otherwise

It's too late, I'm afraid that little brat will really be fired!"

"Okay, Uncle Wu, go ahead. Anyway, I know the roads in Panxiang now. I'll wander around here by myself for a while, and then I can go back by myself!" Liu Dong said.

After a slight hesitation, Wu Yunxin nodded, "Okay, I'll leave first! By the way, this is my phone number. If you encounter any problems, just call me!"

After handing an ordinary business card to Liu Dong's hand, Wu Yunxin hurriedly left with the morning's harvest.

"Brother Liu, are you collecting cultural relics?"

Because of publicity, ordinary farmers don’t call antiques as they do in antique shops, but instead refer to them as ‘cultural relics’ as they heard from TV news!

"Yes, does Uncle Liang also have cultural relics in his house?" Looking at Liang Bingzhong who had been silent just now, Liu Dong couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Oh, I don't dare! You did me a big favor just now. If you don't mind, just call me Lao Liang!" Liang Bingzhong waved his hands repeatedly.
