Chapter 376 Ci Yunzhai

The old woman raised her head in surprise and murmured: "Did you really give it to me?"

"I really gave it to you." Boss Li smiled and stuffed the inkstone in his hand into the old woman's arms, and said with some concern, "But you have to report the case as soon as possible. I believe that the guys in our store are relatively reliable, so don't take advantage of the thieves and let the police take care of these bad guys."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, and I'll report the case now." The old woman stood up and thanked her, "This boss is really a Bodhisattva-hearted person. Good people will be rewarded."

Boss Li naturally helped the old woman and said to the guy next to him: "Xiao Liu, follow the old lady to the police station."

A crowd suddenly burst into praise. Gradually, the onlookers dispersed. Boss Li finally breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the old woman and the young man walking away. You know, someone was causing trouble in front of his store, regardless of whether it had any impact on business or not, it was definitely a blow to reputation. Suddenly, he heard a voice, "Boss Li is such a good method."

When he looked up, the smile on the corner of Boss Li's mouth couldn't help but become stronger: "Oh, San, I actually started to entertain me. The person next to him should be Boss Jia from the 'green, fat, red and thin', right?"

Jia Sidao nodded and signaled. When the boss of the Antique Street party gathered that day, Boss Li was not there, so Jia Sidao didn't know him in advance. However, judging from what happened just now, no matter what Boss Li said in the end, whether it was artificial or suspected of making a name for himself, it was essentially not bad.

Moreover, from the information revealed by A Sansou, most of the owners of the shops on the Antique Street are based on the idea of ​​being prosperous and prospering. They will not interfere with common things like using fakes to fool buyers, but if they play "bumping into the car", they will be suppressed by some other bosses.

Boss Li’s actions just now have won a lot of praise for the shops on Antique Street. This way of handling is unimaginable at the antique street stall. Which antique vendor would use his own things as compensation because of the old woman’s crying?

As the owner of an antique street shop, many times, we cannot only consider our own small interests in front of us. Boss Li in front of us undoubtedly set a good example for Jia Sidao, the newly promoted antique street shop owner.

However, although Jia Sidao was interested in sitting in Boss Li's shop for a while, A San was indeed not very interested in stationery utensils. Besides, there were still many porcelains in ancient times such as brush washing, pen holders, etc., and A San would definitely like it if he looked at it. However, there were very few of this type on Boss Li's side. Basically, it was mainly based on pens, inks, and inkstones.

On the paper, Jia Sidao saw the "Tang paper" from a thousand years ago, with a blank piece on it.

Such paper is sometimes blank, but it is more valuable than graffiti with handwriting. If it is a blank piece of Tang paper, it is still very tempting to ask a famous master of the world to imitate the work of a famous master of the Tang Dynasty. It will inevitably become a "fake" with superb quality when it flows to the market. At least, from the perspective of Jia Sidao, even if he has supernatural perception, he can tell how the difference between these "Tang paper" from thousands of years ago and paper under modern craftsmanship. Can he also separate the handwriting of a calligrapher?

Of course, any calligraphy and painting that can be used to make old is of a certain standard for imitation. It has a certain collection value. Otherwise, who would use a piece of paper worth thousands of yuan to doodle randomly?

After leaving Boss Li's shop for the stationery, Jia Sidao and A San began to take the real "streets and alleys" and almost went door to door. Whenever they encountered a shop they like, they would stay for a while. If they were not interested, such as furniture, then chat with the boss and the like, and then leave quickly.

In A San's words: That is to get familiar with one's face first.

When it was time for "Ciyunzhai", the friend Jia Sidao's impression was not there. The one who received the two was a middle-aged man. A San was quite polite to him and whispered to Jia Sidao. Although the boss in front of him was not "Ciyunzhai", he had a great relationship with the boss. After saying that, his eyes subconsciously looked back and forth between himself and Jia Sidao.

Jia Sidao immediately understood something. A San compared his relationship with him.

Jia Sidao sighed, since such a shop has opened its doors to do business, and it is also the weekend, why is it that a customer in the shop is in charge, and the owner of "Ciyunzhai" turned out from the back side. When he saw Jia Sidao and Asan, he was slightly stunned, and then he said to Asan naturally: "Please sit down, please don't care just now, please forgive me."

Jia Sidao and A San quickly said they didn't dare.

The boss of "Ciyunzhai" is much older than Uncle Zhou of "Zhouji". Although he is also a boss on Antique Street, Jia Sidao dare not be too arrogant.

"Did you guys come here after you've seen something or take a look?" The boss first made a gesture of calmness at his friend, and then asked A San, "Is Mr. Wei okay?"

"Second Grandpa once talked about you before." Asan said with a smile.

"Oh? This is strange. The old man should be thinking about some things from me, right? I guess it must be like this. Haha!——" Obviously, the boss here is quite familiar with A San. Everyone joked a few times, diluting the strangeness he had just met, and then the boss asked about the real purpose of Jia Sidao and A San.

Although everyone is on the antique street, these bosses are busy with their own affairs and do not meet each other often.

"What else can we do? Of course we are here to see the porcelain. Can we still come to eat at you?" A San said carelessly, "It just so happens that Uncle Wang is here too. Boss Gong, should you take out some good things to let us pass by? My brother Xiao Jia, although he is in the jade business, is also very interested in the porcelain industry."

To put this, Mr. Gong's eyes lit up in "Ciyunzhai". As an insider, he naturally understood the profits of the jade business. If Jia Sidao was really interested in playing with some porcelain, then he would undoubtedly be a potential big customer for his "Ciyunzhai". Compared to people like Ah San who rely on Wei Erye's interpersonal relationships and sometimes look for a little gadget, the importance of Jia Sidao is self-evident.

These days, customers who have money to make money are called big customers. Even if they like Ah San, even if they like good things, if the price is too high, Ah San will not be able to accept them directly. Boss Gong is more familiar with Ah San because of the face of Erye Wei.

"Emerald business, Xiao Jia," Boss Gong pondered for a moment and sighed, "Is this the boss who is 'green, fat, red and thin' next to him? It's so terrifying to the young man."

"Who said no?" Uncle Wang next to him continued, "Seeing the current A San, Xiao Jia and the other two, Lao Gong, will you recall the things that happened when we were young, traveling around and collecting antiques?"

"Haha, that's natural. Thinking about the time when you and I suffered a lot and made a lot of jokes." Speaking of the past, Boss Gong and Uncle Wang laughed tacitly. Then, Boss Gong found that he seemed to be neglected by Jia Sidao and A San, and said, "Come on, both of them are not considered outsiders, and they are also interested in porcelain. As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to come early. Why not go to my back with us?"

"I'm just asking for it." A San said with a smile, stood up, pulled Jia Sidao, who was stunned, and the four of them came to a reception room in the back of "Ciyunzhai". Originally, Jia Sidao was thinking that all the people in the hall in front had been exposed, and it was not appropriate that no one had watched them.

As a result, Boss Gong was worried and closed the door directly. Jia Sidao then smiled bitterly and remembered that this is an antique street. For the shops here, opening more and opening less for one day is not a big deal. If you can do a big business, it will be enough to earn back all the wasted time.

Thinking of his mother, she felt a little complaining because she was just a few days before the store was vacant before the opening. Jia Sidao couldn't help but sigh, the more he had the deeper he got in touch with, the more he understood that this industry also requires background.

The reception room is not big, but it looks very delicate. You can tell at a glance that it is from an expert's work. Not to mention it, everything is placed just right. What is particularly important is that the overall structure also exudes a faint classical charm, which is quite antique.

Jia Sidao noticed that on one side of the reception room, there was an exhibition cabinet. The most eye-catching thing on it was that there was no outstanding porcelain work, most of which were stone sculptures. The most eye-catching one was a Shoushan stone sculpture, which was carved with a phoenix spreading its wings and flying. Several bright red smudges were cleverly carved into phoenix crowns and feathers.

In recent times, Jia Sidao happened to be learning carving. When he saw such a work, he almost forgot where he was now, and it was the "Ciyunzhai", which is famous for porcelain.

"Oh, Xiao Jia is quite knowledgeable about carving?" Maybe Boss Gong noticed Jia Sidao's gaze, so he asked, and then said with a smile, "Look at what I said, Xiao Jia is an expert in jadeite, and he naturally has the most say in stone sculptures. I changed this thing from someone else in the early years. At the beginning, I just saw that the phoenix was quite good in momentum, so I agreed. I still haven't understood whether this thing can be taken out. Xiao Jia, since he has come, why not tell me?"

"This work is not just a good momentum." Jia Sidao sighed, and knew in his heart that this was a favor that Boss Gong sold to him. Everyone just met him and did not know each other very well. Boss Gong suddenly followed his interests and hobbies and let himself show his strengths in front of everyone. I have to say that this is what Boss Gong values ​​more.

Jia Sidao naturally would not be polite. After considering the wording, he said simply: "The material used in the whole stone carving belongs to Shoushan stone. I won't say much about its preciousness. The carving skills are enough for novices like me to learn. As for the overall layout, especially the use of the color on it, it is lifelike, and it is a rare fine product among Shoushan stone carvings in Fujian."

"Haha, Xiao Jia, you don't know this. Boss Gong is also a person who likes to collect strange stones." A San said with a smile on the side, "I can't say that you two will find other common languages ​​besides porcelain."

"You two friends are so kind." Boss Gong said modestly.

"Boss Gong doesn't have to be so polite." A San was a little disliked, "'Ciyunzhai' has been an old store for decades. Not to mention that it is far away from the provincial capital, in Linhai, it is at least a brand store for porcelain collection. Besides, Boss Gong, you are also an expert in porcelain collection. If you have high-quality products everywhere here and there are some exaggerations, then most of them are treasures, which is just a big truth."

Speaking of this, A San suddenly turned around and asked Jia Si, saying, "Xiao Jia, do you know why there are no porcelain decorations in this reception room?"

Jia Sidao looked around and it was true, but he shook his head slightly.

"It is said that when Boss Gong comes to negotiate business, all his attention will be attracted by other porcelain placed in the reception room, so he decided not to display some porcelain he collected in the reception room." A San said with a smile, "Now, you should always know how many good things Mr. Gong has on hand, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Sidao looked at Boss Gong in surprise.

I really didn't see that it was because of this reason that there was a lack of porcelain in the reception room. I can only say that Boss Gong is not a confident person, but a very confident person.

The four of them sat down separately, and Boss Gong made a cup of tea for each of them. It was Biluochun or New Tea. The rising fog emitted a faint, elegant fragrance, which quickly filled the entire reception room with a fragrant breath. Jia Sidao took a deep breath involuntarily. As the saying goes, the fragrance is everywhere, the spirit is refreshing, and it has a certain meditation effect.

And Boss Gong is not in a hurry to take out the porcelain.

It's like the tea leaves in tea, slowly and stretching little by little as you can.

Jia Sidao could only wait like this. None of the four spoke first and asked about the matter on porcelain. Ah San was still talking off topic intentionally or unintentionally. Jia Sidao listened quietly, and occasionally interjected a few words. From now on, Jia Sidao thought that he should also learn some basic cultivation skills. Otherwise, when he met some older generation customers in the future and became indifferent to them, he would suffer a lot of losses.

Many times, whether it is dealing with people or doing business, it is important to be one thing. But the time of waiting is indispensable.

After taking a sip of tea, Jia Sidao felt that the taste was really good. Even if Jia Sidao didn't understand it very much, he could feel some of the beauty of it. No wonder so many people like to taste tea, and it has also produced a profound and profound "tea ceremony".

"Suspicious? Is this?" Jia Sidao suddenly saw that under the coffee table, there was such an utensil similar to Xuande furnace. He couldn't help but be curious and looked at Boss Gong who was chatting with A San. And with Jia Sidao's "suspicious" sound, everyone's attention was focused on Jia Sidao.

Following Jia Sidao's gaze, Boss Gong smiled and said, "This is a Xuande furnace, I don't know the specific era. If Xiao Jia is interested, you might as well help me take a look."

The three words "Xuande Lun" are definitely well-known for anyone who knows a little bit of knowledge. I have to say that its fame is really loud enough. Just hearing what Boss Gong said, Uncle Wang and A San were all ready to take a closer look.

Jia Sidao picked it up nearby, and it was very heavy to buy it, and he was a little overwhelmed. He tilted the Xuande furnace slightly and saw that there was a three-line and six-character regular script "Made in the Ming Dynasty Xuande Period" at the bottom. However, in Jia Sidao's impression, almost most Xuande furnaces, whether they are real or old, will most of them get such a model, right?

Otherwise, how could it be called Xuande Furnace?

Jia Sidao carefully played with Xuande Furnace for a while, and felt a little nervous. This rarely appeared in his heart. It was not that the Xuande Furnace in front of him made Jia Sidao feel a little worried, for fear of being knocked or being intent on finding a bargain. Jia Sidao also knew some of the information about Xuande Furnace. This thing has nothing to do with real since ancient times. Because there are too few authentic products, and there are also a large number of imitations in later generations. Not to mention anything else, even the copper incense burners displayed in the museum are also marked as Xuande style.

But what about the actual situation?

No one knows whether these copper incense burners with Xuande styles are from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty and whether they belong to the authentic ones.

Jia Sidao's nervousness was only affected by the atmosphere in the reception room. You must know that here is "Ciyunzhai". The person sitting in front of Jia Sidao was Boss Gong of "Ciyunzhai". The "Xuande Furnace" in his mouth is far heavier than some other people said.

This is like an ordinary thing. If the emperor has used it, he will invisibly have the capital of pride. It is also the reason why some celebrities have collected things that are much more valuable than the same things that have no historical stories.

Otherwise, why do vendors in the antique street try hard to make up stories for their own things? Attracting buyers' attention is one aspect, and more importantly, they want customers to understand that the things they want to buy have historical heritage, and this thing is inherited in an orderly manner when collecting the items.

After Jia Sidao simply admired it, he put the Xuande furnace on the coffee table. Then, Uncle Wang took it over and played with it, and asked endlessly: "Old Gong, when did you collect this thing? This thing looks so good." He didn't ask Boss Gong to answer honestly.

Then A San took over the hand, and while flipping around, he muttered: "Boss Gong, this should be an imitation thing. The overall shape of the instrument is relatively full, and the Chongtian ear is also very real. There is also a little meaning in the touch feel, which shows that the copper quality of this stove is very refined, which is really good! How much does it cost?"

Jia Sidao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

According to common sense, if a person helps you identify something and most of the things you say are good things, then this means that the person obviously doesn't like your thing, or even if he is optimistic, he has no intention of accepting it. Otherwise, he himself said that this thing is good, which is not conducive to his subsequent bargaining.

After the previous call from Asan, Jia Sidao was thinking that he was unlikely to ask for the price. Inexplicably, Asan asked, very suddenly. Not to mention Jia Sidao, even the old god-like boss Gong was caught off guard, right?

Jia Sidao looked up slightly and looked at Boss Gong's reaction, and was indeed a little surprised. However, Asan asked, Boss Gong didn't answer, and said, "I just collected this thing. I just said that I don't know very well about the specific era, so it's hard to confirm."

"Boss Gong, you're wrong." Asan said with a smile, "If you can confirm everything yourself, how dare a small player like us collect things from you?"

If Boss Gong himself knew the specific market price of every collection, that is, everything that flowed out of him would not make any big profit, then who would be willing to buy porcelain from "Ciyunzhai".
