"Brother, it's getting late, we should go." Seeing that it was almost time for the ghost market to disperse, Liu Guangtian pushed Liu Guangqi and reminded him.
"Wait, wait."
"What are you waiting for? Everyone in line has finished watching. It will be daybreak in a while, and I have to go back to ride my bike to school."
"Why do you have so many things to do? If I had known, I wouldn't have brought you out."
"Please give me more. One hundred and fifty kilograms of grain is really too little. It's not enough to feed our family for a month." Liu Guangqi was talking when the person he had been waiting for for a long time finally sat in front of him again.
Looking at the seller in front of him, Liu Guangqi breathed a sigh of relief. The seller was so determined to leave just now and didn't even give him a chance to stay.
It made him feel anxious, and he regretted that he should not have pushed down the price so hard. If the duck that was delivered to his mouth ran away in anger, he would have suffered a big loss. It seems that the temptation of food is still great.
"Comrade, one hundred and fifty kilograms is really a lot. Don't forget that I also mentioned ten kilograms of bacon. It's not easy to eat meat these days. These ten kilograms of meat have never been eaten by our family. You can save money on your mouth." Although he wanted to agree immediately, Liu Guangqi pretended to be embarrassed and started to bargain with the other party.
Looking at that hypocritical face, Liu Guangtian couldn't help but want to laugh.
"You can add more. This is a serious Yongle blue and white dragon-patterned platter. You can't find the second one even if you go all over the old bj. As long as you add another fifty kilograms of grain to me, or ten kilograms of it." Jin bacon, I will share this plate with you. If you don't agree, then I will really leave. I will exchange this thing for gold bars later. I don't believe that I can't buy food with gold." Look at it. Liu Guangqi, who still refused to let go, the seller helplessly threatened.
"No, fifty kilograms of grain is too much. The most I can give you is thirty kilograms of grain. Thirty kilograms of grain is already a lot, enough for one person to eat for a month, and I only have one hundred and eighty kilograms left here at most. We have ten kilograms of grain, but I can’t get you fifty kilograms if you want it.” Seeing the determination in the other person’s eyes, Liu Guangqi knew that the heat was almost there and he could no longer push, otherwise the big fish would really run away, so I took the initiative to add thirty kilograms.
"Okay, thirty pounds is thirty pounds." Seeing that the people in the ghost market were already walking outside, the seller gritted his teeth and reluctantly handed the plate to Liu Guangqi.
"Okay, you inspect the goods. Second brother, find a stronger stick for this uncle and let him carry the things back." After clearing the money, Liu Guangqi happily left the ghost with the plate in his arms. city.
"As for being so happy, brother, isn't it just a Yongle porcelain? It's not like our family doesn't have porcelain from the Yongle period. As for being so happy? This is not like you." Looking at Liu Guangqi who was giggling along the way, Liu Guangtian still said He couldn't hold back his curiosity.
"You don't understand, this is not Yongle blue and white, this is clearly Yuan blue and white!"
"Yuan blue and white? Is this the Yuan blue and white that will be sold for hundreds of millions in later generations? Let me see." Liu Guangtian, who originally scorned the Yongle blue and white, heard that this was the Yuan blue and white in Liu Guangqi's hand, and his eyes immediately stared like bells.
"That's the Yuan blue and white flower, but this market can't be sold for hundreds of millions. If it goes to auction, it will be tens of millions at most. In addition, don't think that the Yongle blue and white flowers are not valuable. The price of the better Yongle blue and white flowers is higher than that of the Yuan blue and white flowers. It’s still expensive. Be careful and don’t give me any tiles.”
"That's also Yuan Qinghua. I read in the magazine that there seem to be only a few dozen Yuan Qinghua in existence. We can meet these, and we are very lucky."
"It's not as mysterious as you said. The reason why Yuan blue and white flowers are rare is because people at this time did not have a deep understanding of blue and white flowers. They always thought that there was no blue and white flowers in the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, blue and white flowers appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but it was not until the Mongolians in the Yuan Dynasty that After settling in the Central Plains, blue and white began to flourish because of the Mongolian aesthetic. On the other hand, it was also because the Yuan Dynasty existed for a short period of time, with a lifespan of less than a hundred years. The output of Yuan blue and white was originally small, and a large number of exports were retained in the Even fewer are alive. Also, the late Yuan blue and white and the Yongle blue and white are relatively close in age. Before there was any conclusive evidence to prove that there was Yuan blue and white, many people regarded the surviving Yuan blue and white as the early Ming blue and white. Okay , stop looking, go back and take a nap, you have to go to school soon." After giving Liu Guangtian some knowledge about Yuan Qinghua, Liu Guangqi kicked him out.
"Is anyone home?" Liu Guangqi came to Beiluogu Lane with his luggage at noon and knocked on the door of Lan Yigui's house.
"Here you are, the door was unlocked and you came in." I heard someone's door open, and a woman's voice came from the courtyard. The voice should be Lan Yigui's eldest wife.
"It's Guangqi, why are you here? Sit down quickly, Cuiyun, and quickly get a stool for Guangqi. When he saw Liu Guangqi coming in, Lan Yigui, the eldest wife, who was sitting under the eaves to collect the soles of her shoes, said enthusiastically He greeted Liu Guangqi, and then shouted to his daughter-in-law who was busy in the kitchen.
"Don't bother, sister-in-law, I'll move it myself."
"If you don't stay in the hospital to treat patients, why do you have time to come to my place today?" Hearing Liu Guangqi's voice, Lan Yigui walked out of the room with his hands behind his back.
In the past, this action would have been quite impressive if paired with Lan Yigui's wealthy figure, but now it's a bit of a stretch on the hips, because Lan Yigui is now so thin that he can't even hold up his clothes.
"If you have nothing to do, why don't you come here to have a meal?" Liu Guangqi found a chair and sat in front of Lan Yigui.
When they heard that Liu Guangqi was here to eat, the expressions of Lan Yigui's family members all changed. The smiles suddenly froze on their faces, and then they lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"Why aren't you welcome?" Liu Guangqi asked with a smile as if he didn't see their expressions.
"Welcome, why aren't you welcome? I'm a guest. Cuiyun, kill the chicken at home. Guang and I will drink two cups together." Compared to the reluctance of his family, Lan Yigui was indifferent. Ordered a lot.
"Dad, that chicken is an egg-laying hen. It was specially bought to replenish the body of the little dragon. What will he eat after killing the little dragon? Guangqi, don't be angry. It's not that my sister-in-law doesn't want to entertain you. It's really a famine year. There is nothing to eat at home..." Lan Yigui's eldest daughter-in-law said reluctantly.
"If you are asked to kill a chicken, you kill the chicken. There is so much nonsense. Isn't it easy for me to talk?" Seeing his daughter-in-law talking so much, Lan Yigui slapped the little boy next to him. The table shocked everyone in the courtyard.
"No, don't be angry, master, I'm kidding you. I have something I brought with me. Sister-in-law Cuiyun, here are twenty kilograms of noodles and five kilograms of bacon. Please stir-fry something for me." Seeing Lan Yigui Liu Guangqi, who was angry and felt that he was playing a big game, quickly took out a bag of grain from his all-purpose backpack and handed it to Lan Yigui's daughter-in-law.
"This, this" Li Cuiyun, who was about to cry when she saw Liu Guangqi bringing out flour and bacon, was shocked and happy for a moment. She wanted to take it but didn't dare to take it. She could only look at Lan Yigui and said anxiously. Speechless.
"Take it, don't be so stingy in the future, and hurry up and cook." Lan Yigui, who had already noticed Liu Guangqi's intention, snorted and waved his hand.
"Have you seen enough jokes?" After losing his temper at his son, Lan Yigui pointed his gun at Liu Guangqi again.
"Hey, I didn't. I really didn't mean it. Master, I just said it casually. Who knew it would be like this? If I had known, I would have taken the things out directly."
"Okay, don't explain. Tell me, what are you doing here today? Did you get something good again, such as the Yongle blue and white platter." Lan Yigui took a sip of tea.
"Hey, are you clairvoyant or have the ear of the wind? You know what I just changed into last night." Liu Guangqi knew that Lan Yigui was well-informed, but he didn't expect him to be so well-informed.
It had only been a few hours, but I already knew that this old man was not monitoring him.
"This morning, a former regular customer came to Tianhexuan and asked me if I knew anyone named Liu. I was still wondering at the time. There were so many people named Liu, how could I know who he was talking about, but he As soon as I mentioned the Xuande blue and white platter, I knew it was you. You're such a naughty kid, you could have replaced someone else's Yongle blue and white platter with 150 kilograms of grain and ten kilograms of bacon." Lan Yigui reached out and tapped Liu Guangqi.
"Who is cheating? I don't like to hear what you are saying. It's something you want and I don't force them to give it to me. How about you take a look at this thing?" Liu Guangqi took out today's book from his bag. Yuan Qinghua bought in the early morning.
"There's nothing wrong with the thing. It's an authentic blue and white plate from the early Ming Dynasty. It's an old thing with a big door." Lan Yigui, who had seen the thing once, did not look at it in detail. After confirming that it was the original thing, he gave his own evaluation.
"Are you sure?" Seeing Lan Yigui fall into the pit, Liu Guangqi showed a sly smile on his face.
"No problem, even the Qinghua in the Yongle period is still in the early Yongle period. You can't even see this, right? How did that old guy Tong Fengquan teach you? I remember I taught you too, but you can't Forget it all." Seeing Liu Guangqi's weird smile, Lan Yigui, who felt something was wrong, picked up the blue and white platter in his hand and looked at it again.
But after looking at it for a long time, I still didn't see anything strange.
"I haven't forgotten. How could I have forgotten my ability to eat? Master, you have caught your eye this time. This plate is not the Yongle blue and white plate you mentioned, but an authentic Yuan blue and white plate?"
"Yuan blue and white? You kid didn't burn Hutu, did you? What kind of blue and white are there in the Yuan Dynasty? Go around the four nine cities and ask if anyone has heard of Yuan blue and white." Liu Guangqi heard that the plate in his hand was Yuan Dynasty blue and white. , Lan Yigui reached out and touched Liu Guangqi's forehead.
"I don't have a fever." Liu Guangqi knocked off Lan Yigui's hand.
"Why are you talking nonsense when you don't have a fever? It's a shame that you said this here. If you were in other places, you would be laughed at."
"Who is talking nonsense? Your statement that there was no blue and white flowers in the Yuan Dynasty is outdated. Now foreign countries have confirmed that there were blue and white flowers in the Yuan Dynasty. Look at this photo. Look at the plate in your hand. The painting skills of the two are the same. Are the materials used the same?" Liu Guangqi took out a photo from his pocket, which showed a pair of blue and white Yunlong Elephant Ear vases from the Zhizheng period that he had taken in a magazine. It was the words on these bottles that made the blue and white porcelain The heyday of the utensils was one dynasty ahead of schedule.
"Aren't these the pair of fakes?" Lan Yigui recognized what was in the photo at a glance after taking it.
"Have you seen this pair of things?" Lan Yigui's answer surprised Liu Guangqi.
"I've seen it before. It must have been the 18th year of the Republic of China. I can't remember the exact year. At that time, a man came to Liulichang carrying this bottle. I was still an apprentice at the time. The master was so determined that I took a look at it from a distance. At that time People in Liulichang generally believe that there was no blue and white in the Yuan Dynasty. After my master looked at the words on the bottle, he thought it was a fake deliberately made up by the seller, so he confiscated it. I wanted to buy it and study it, but as soon as I left the house, I thought it was a fake. I don’t know where it went. I heard that it was later sold abroad for two oceans. I didn’t expect that I would see it again in my life.” Lan Yigui fell into the meeting with the photo in his hand, and his whole body It's like going back thirty years ago.
"Then you are at a big loss. This seller combined this passage and then collected it together with the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Yinlang Asdir Temple Museum and the Instanbul Museum in Turkey. Chinese blue and white porcelain, through comparison analysis, found a total of seventy-four pieces of blue and white porcelain with the same characteristics as this pair of bottles, confirming that the pair of bottles are authentic. The words above also confirmed that this pair of bottles and the seventy-four blue and white porcelains They are all blue and white porcelain produced by JdZ in the Yuan Dynasty." As he spoke, Liu Guangqi took out another small plate from his bag.
"If you don't believe it, take a look at this plate. This is the real Yongle blue and white. The glazes used in the two are different. The Yuan blue and white are too bright, and the sapphire blue is particularly bright and exposed, while the Yongle and Xuande blue and white are extremely bright. The hair color is darker and the luster is restrained. The Yuan blue and white patterns are uniform in color, while the Yongle and Xuande blue and white have different shades and are somewhat similar to ink paintings. The Yuan blue and white have fewer metal spots, while the Yongle and Xuande blue and white have many metal spots. These two things are placed in front of you, Compare and see for yourself." After hearing Liu Guangqi's words, Lan Yi also became serious, took out the magnifying glass in his arms and started observing the two blue and white plates.
"Sure enough, I didn't expect that I, Lan Yigui, would actually see Yuan Qinghua in my life. In the early years, when I saw this plate, I felt something was wrong. I thought it was something from the early Yongle period. I didn't expect that it was from the Yuan Dynasty. It’s really a great experience.” After confirming that the two plates in front of him were exactly the same as what Liu Guangqi said, Lan Yigui put down the magnifying glass in his hand with a sigh.
"That's not right, you kid is here to see my joke. Okay, now that your wings are strong, you dare to teach me a lesson." Lan Yigui, who had come back to his senses, looked at Liu Guangqi and sneered.
"No, how dare I see you seeing a joke. I am exchanging knowledge with you. There are endless counterfeitings in the antique industry. Only by communicating more with colleagues can we avoid being fooled. You told me this. Now you know Yuan With the characteristics of blue and white, you can pick it up when you meet the same thing again." Liu Guangqi, who saw through Lan Yigui's thoughts, said with a cheeky smile.
"Okay, don't talk about this. Let's eat quickly when the food is ready."
"Okay, Master"
"Come with me." The meal was finished quickly. It was said to be a meal, but it was actually just a bowl of noodles. After drinking and eating, Liu Guangqi, who had accomplished his goal, was about to leave when Lan Yigui called him to the study.
"What's going on? You can't talk about it outside. There are so many good things in your room, much better than Master Tong's." Liu Guangqi looked at the dazzling array of furnishings in Lan Yigui's study and his mouth was filled with greed. Wow, those pair of large dragon cabinets are really the best.
"Compared to me, he is far behind."
"Stop talking nonsense, let's see how much food this thing can be exchanged for." Lan Yigui stood on a stool and took out a long box from the top of the dragon cabinet and placed it in front of Liu Guangqi.
"What are you doing? There is not enough food at home, just tell me and I will give you some."
"Okay, as the old saying goes, it's not enough to help the poor. It's still early for next year's wheat harvest. If you can help this month, can you help next month? If you can help next month, what about next month? Keep eating. I won’t eat you until you collapse. I, Lan Yigui, am also a prominent figure in Liulichang, so I can’t do such a thing.”
"It's early. You don't have to think about eating me up for decades." After hearing this, Liu Guangqi thought to himself.
"Just follow your rules. Aren't you exchanging grain for something in the ghost market? It's not a very valuable thing. Look at how many kilograms of grain I can exchange for this thing." Lan Yigui patted the box on the desk.
"Need not,"
"Stop talking nonsense here, you are so annoying. Open it quickly and take a look. There is no store like this after passing this village. When I regret it and you want to change it, I won't even change it for you."
"What is it, so mysterious?" Lan Yigui's words aroused Liu Guangqi's curiosity. He pulled the box in front of him and slowly opened it. Inside the box was a scroll, which looked like a painting and calligraphy work.
"Be careful with this, it's more than a thousand years old." Seeing Liu Guangqi's fussy appearance, Lan Yigui took a sip of tea and warned.
