Chapter 13 Digging out the old house (5)
Tang Feng looked at it with pleasure. It was a shrine dedicated to gods. Zheng Tong nodded and said, "It's been a long time, but this cannot be bought." People who have lived in old houses for generations pay attention to this. The shrine cannot go out, and even if they move, they have to "invite" to the new house.
Zheng Tong took the people to a few places. After a while, there was indeed nothing good. Everyone returned to the main hall again. Zheng Tong said to the people: "How is it? Are there any things that are attractive? If it is something that we can't use at home and the price is reasonable, everything will be easy to say."
Zhao Yongshi and Jiang Yuan looked at each other, shaking their heads, Lin Muyu and Chen Yan looked at Tang Feng, while Liu Shunan was always studying with the prince. Tang Feng pointed to the coffee table on the side of the main hall and asked, "Will you take action?"
As soon as this statement came out, Zhao and Jiang immediately looked at Tang Feng.
Zheng Tong laughed and said, "All of them are friends of the second son. I won't hide it from you. This antique mahogany coffee table was bought by me last year."
At this time, Zhao Yongshi's cell phone rang, and he immediately went to the side to answer the phone.
Tang Feng came to the side of the coffee table, picked up the round bamboo-carved pen holder on the coffee table with some miscellaneous items and asked, "I mean this."
At this time, Zhao Yongshi's phone rang, and he walked out of the main hall to answer the phone.
Zheng Tong laughed and said, "I don't know how many years I have spent on this thing. It has almost become a big laughing stock in the village. Every time someone comes to see something, they will mention it, but after seeing it, they don't want it."
China's bamboo carving technology has a long history and a wide variety. There are two main varieties, one is spring-turned bamboo carving, and the other is green-leafed bamboo carving. It is complicated to say, but it is actually very simple. If you remove the bamboo green skin and leave only a layer of bamboo spring for decoration, it is spring-leafed bamboo carving. If you use bamboo green skin as a carving pattern, you should use bamboo green skin to remove bamboo green other than the pattern, and the bamboo muscles below are left to reveal the bamboo.
Tang Feng took the pen holder in his hand and looked at it. This pen holder is a typical bamboo carving process of Liuqing. The pattern carved on it is reed boat map. The entire pattern is centered on the lake water, surrounded by reeds at the nearest end of the lake. The waves on the lake are sparkling, a small boat is parked at the center of the lake, and a fisherman wearing a straw raincoat and a hat are fishing. The far end of the lake is a steep mountain with towering trees and towering trees standing against the rocks, with flowers, leaves and branches, lifelike.
This pen holder has no model left, and the age cannot be determined from the model. Except for the lake water, most of the green skin is removed, the background patterns at the proximal and distal ends are left with a large amount of green skin. The comparison between bamboo muscles and bamboo green can especially reflect the artistic effect of the reeds, and the feeling of the undulating reeds is very realistic.
Zheng Tong came to Tang Feng and said with a smile: "The color of the bamboo skin of this pen holder is too close to green. Many people think it is not a long time, and I think so too." This is common sense. After the bamboo is stored for a long time, the bamboo skin will turn yellow. If it does not turn yellow, it means that the pen holder will not last long.
Tang Feng showed a honest smile and said, "This pen holder has not been released for too long, but I like this pattern, which is also a craft."
"Can you show me?" Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded to Tang Feng.
Tang Feng also smiled and nodded, handed the pen holder to Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan looked at it and nodded and said, "Well, this pattern is good, but I'm afraid it won't be too long."
At this time, the two saw Zhao Yongshi, who had hung up the phone, walking towards Chen Yan and saying something to him. Chen Yan shook his head in embarrassment, Jiang Yuan returned the pen holder to Tang Feng, and walked over by himself.
Lin Muyu on the other side seemed to have received some news. When he walked towards this side, Tang Feng said to Zheng Tong: "I see that the dust in this booth is so thick, I guess you can't use it, right?"
Zheng Tong said: "So, this gentleman wants it?"
Tang Feng said lightly: "I happen to have a four-treasure set of study at home. I lack a pen holder. I want to take it over and make do with it. You can offer a price." Lin Muyu, who had just walked over, blinked at Tang Feng, and she knew that this guy was starting to fool him again.
The buyer is the buyer, and the guy is the idle. Tang Feng said it was just a matter of making do, but it was not a matter of making do. Besides, he didn’t even know how to take the brush, so where did the four treasures of the study come from?
Zheng Tong asked with a smile: "Hehe, I don't understand the market either. Please give me a price?" Zheng Tong wanted Tang Feng to give a price first to try the depth.
"Yeah." Tang Feng frowned slightly and said, "Originally, this price is really hard to open. After all, this holder is not worth a lot of money, but I like it from the bottom of my heart. Five hundred yuan, how are you?"
Zheng Tong looked at the pen holder and then at Tang Feng, and said, "Five hundred is too little, right?"
Tang Feng said in embarrassment: "This"
"This Mr. Zheng is really a human being, so just six hundred." Lin Muyu was beating and drumming.
"Six hundred?" Tang Feng thought for a while and said, "Then let's have six hundred."
Although it was already in a dilemma here, Zheng Tong wanted to take the opportunity to increase the price. He said: "If you want auspicious, eight hundred, will you succeed?"
Tang Feng shook his head and said, "Six hundred and eight."
"Oh." Lin Muyu said, "Are you only 20 yuan less? It's 800 yuan." Lin Muyu saw it. Tang Feng looked embarrassed and really wanted it. He was afraid that Zheng Tong would see his intentions.
When Zheng Tong saw someone helping him, he took the opportunity to say, "I'm familiar with each other and make friends. Isn't it more than eight hundred?"
Tang Feng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, then it's eight hundred."
Then, he took out the old cowhide wallet from his pocket and counted eight red tickets for Zheng Tong. Zheng Tong took the money and counted it. Tang Feng took out the debris inside the pen holder and put it in his bag. This was considered the transaction was successful.
The two walked to Chen Yan's side together, and Chen Yan said to Zhao Yongshi unhappily: "If you want to go, I can't afford to lose this person."
Tang Feng asked Chen Yan softly, "What's going on?"
Chen Yan snorted and said, "There is news from them that the Eight Immortals Table is made of red sandalwood. Brother Zhao means that he hopes to return the Eight Immortals Table."
"Return, how can you do it?"
——The person who spoke was Jiang Yuan, and he continued: "According to the rules of the antiques business, you can't find the back-end of the things you bought. Oh, how can you not pay some tuition for fun? I recognized it." Chen Yan felt puzzled. This guy had never expressed his opinion, why did Tang Feng and Lin Muyu change as soon as they came over?
"Hi." Zhao Yongshi said, "I don't mean that at all." Zhao Yongshi kept rounding, but everyone just thought they were watching silent movies.
"You guys, please go." Zheng Tong sent Tang Feng and the others out. He was very happy that a pen holder could sell for 800 yuan. He knew what a prodigal son was.
After saying goodbye to the Zheng family, the few people with their own thoughts were really not interested and took care of them. Liu Shunan looked at the sky and said, "It's almost time to eat, and it's not good to go to their house now. Let's break up."
Everyone did not express their opinions, and Chen Yan said, "Then forget it, go to Mentougou another day. Hey, by the way, if you don't dislike it, go to my house for a meal, right?"
Who didn't know that this was a politeness? Everyone said that there was something important to do. Chen Yan said to his hair: "Then let's go?"
