Chapter 91 Chapter 091

"I can't remember how many years it was." The old man sighed and said, "At that time, the little girl hadn't even been born. Don't talk about you little girl, even your father is only this young." The old man After making gestures, it was only about one meter high, which made Jelly feel embarrassed. Jia Sidao pondered, if Jelly's father was only a few years old, he must not have been born yet. "By the way, Xiao Jia, did you collect this set of porcelain yourself, or did you get it through a broker?" The old man suddenly asked, looking at Jia Sidao with his eyes, which clearly made Jia Sidao feel his desire. There is still some kind of expectation in the eyes.Jia Sidao is not good at lying, so naturally he told the truth.

Thinking about it now, old lady Hong's not-so-native Linhai dialect, and listening to the old man's accent, one can naturally guess that old lady Hong is also from the north, right?Xu's husband is from Linhai, so he has been living in Linhai. "Oh, I didn't expect Xiao Zhang to take the first step, and now Xiao Hong is the only one left." After hearing the words, the old man was silent for a long time, and then sighed.While sighing softly, he also shook his head slightly, "Old man..." "Grandpa, you are not old." Jelly was on the side, and at this time she interjected very seriously, "You practice Tai Chi every morning, and even I can't keep up with your movements."

"Hehe, little girl, you're the only one who can speak nicely." The old man patted Jelly's hand and turned to see Jia Sidao's curious eyes. The old man was also straightforward and generously talked about what happened back then.It turned out that the so-called Xiao Zhang was the husband of Mrs. Hong, and also a registered disciple of Mrs. Hong. It's just that the old man prefers to collect things like porcelain, but Xiao Zhang likes mahogany furniture. Speaking of it, the relationship between the old man and Xiao Zhang is a bit like a teacher and a friend.At that time, Xiao Zhang was still doing some business in the north, and his family's family background was not bad, but there were no elders in the family, and he and Mrs. Hong were newlyweds.Because Mrs. Hong's family background is also good, and the people in the family are quite powerful. When they got married, they were held in the north, and it was quite lively.Some relatives and friends also gave away a lot of good things.Especially for collectors like the old man, it is naturally not too easy to make a move.The old man still remembers that what he gave was such a small bowl of famille rose from the Qing Dynasty. It does not have a special meaning for the newlyweds.Even if it is not a famous official kiln, it is still a rare boutique.

However, because of Xiao Zhang's return to his hometown and the Cultural Revolution in China, the old man lost the news of Xiao Zhang after such a delay.The only thing I have an impression of is the small pastel bowl given to Xiao Zhang, and this set of five pieces from the Qing Palace.After all, there are not many porcelains in Xiao Zhang's house.As for the furniture, even if the old man saw it now, he might not remember it very much. No wonder the old man was a little excited when he saw the photos of the five pieces of the Qing Palace given by Jelly. Originally, at the time of parting, Mr. Zhang would be willing to give the old man some porcelain.Because the old man often went to his house, he had tried and appraised this set of things, it was a good set, and he was very impressed.It's just that these five things from the Qing Palace and their uses, if they are given away, it is really embarrassing to sell them.What's more, in Mr. Zhang's home, it was not kept as an antique at that time, and it was even placed at home and still in use.

Ever since, such a set of things was brought back to Linhai by Mr. Zhang.Moreover, a while ago, it finally fell into the hands of Jia Sidao at a low price, and Jia Sidao felt that he was quite lucky.After listening to Jia Sidao's narration, the old man didn't care.In the field of antiques, there are not many such mistakes, and there are not many, especially when Mrs. Hong personally took them to the antique street to sell them.Even if Jia Sidao didn't pick it up, I'm afraid it would be taken away by others. In that case, the old man still doesn't know if he will have this opportunity again to see this set of five pieces from the Qing palace.As a result, the old man praised Jia Sidao's courage with some cheerfulness.Especially after hearing what Jia Sidao said, I know that Jia Sidao is just a newcomer in the collection field.

It is relatively rare for a newcomer to be able to casually sell thousands of dollars in Antique Street. These days, there are so many old things, almost to the point where if you look for things in the antique market, nine out of ten are new imitations.Even when the old man went to the antique market by himself, he mostly just took a look at it and felt the fun of shopping for treasures.There are not many that are really worth selling. On the other hand, Jelly heard that Jia Sidao bought this set of porcelain for less than 3,000 yuan, looked at Jia Sidao again, and suddenly became a little angry.

You know, at the beginning, she even asked for 3,000 yuan, which was well teased by Jia Sidao. Jia Sidao couldn't help but blushed, his eyes averted a little, he still saw the leather bag he brought over by the side, and slapped himself on the forehead, how could he forget the business? After apologizing to the old man, Jia Sidao first carefully took out the piece of blue and white porcelain that looked like a brick from his purse.When he heard the old man talk about the family background of Mrs. Hong's family earlier, Jia Sidao thought, maybe he missed two things that he collected from Mrs. Hong's house when he went there later.

Don't look at the peddlers in the antique street, they often talk about which dynasty's treasures they got in a certain village, or whether they are passed down from their ancestors, but in fact, those are just general rhetoric.Most of the really valuable antiques are hidden in the homes of some wealthy people. Inheritance does not mean that one or two things passed down from the ancestors can be changed. It's nothing more than saying that the tattered things from the countryside are more gimmick and more attractive.Just like the exhibits displayed in a museum, how many are tattered and incomplete?Antiques are not necessarily the old ones, the old ones, the ones that look old.To use the simplest analogy, some furnishings in the study room, such as exquisite brush washers and pen holders, have been shining for hundreds of years, even in modern times, just like new ones. , and some are even a little dazzling.

No one stipulates that antiques must be old. Of course, if it is a large bowl passed down from the ancestors in the countryside, it cannot be brand new.The big bowl handed down from Little Six's family looked like it had been used. On the contrary, such things are easier to circulate in the antique market. Only if it is old and broken, the buyer will feel that it is more like an antique.Especially those who are new to the industry, or some tourists who are sightseeing.Only by making things old to a certain extent, and vividly displaying its vicissitudes of history in front of you, can it be sold at a good price.

I'm afraid this has something to do with the market like Antique Street. However, Jia Sidao looked at his words, and when he just took out this porcelain, the old man looked at it with a look of surprise. Immediately, Jia Sidao didn't need to say much, when he put the thing on the glass tea table, the old man reached out and picked it up, looked left and right, especially facing the missing corner, and carefully stroked it with his fingers. A few times, it seems to be feeling something.Afterwards, he said to Jelly who was sitting beside him, "Little girl, go and get my grandfather's stuff."

"Oh." Jelly replied.But his eyes still looked at the porcelain in the hands of the old man with some reluctance.Moreover, her big eyes were clearly full of doubts, "Grandpa, what kind of porcelain is this? I've never seen it before. Is it a tile head?" Don't say Jelly is curious, even Jia Sidao is looking forward to the answer. "Little girl, you have only seen so many porcelains. But this time, you are smart, so you guessed it right." The old man chuckled and said, "If this thing is correct, it is really a floor tile." "It's really a brick." Jelly replied, "No wonder it looks so ugly." Well, the little girl dares to judge this piece of porcelain directly from its shape and function.However, after saying this, Jelly seemed to feel that she was talking too much, she couldn't help sticking out her tongue, turned around and went to the inner room, and after a while, she took out a drawer.The tools inside are familiar to Jia Sidao. Magnifying glass, tube mirror and so on, everything is available. The old man picked up the tools, and now he observed carefully again.Jia Sidao didn't bother, and looked at the things in the drawer, they were all very common utensils, but they were quite old, presumably because the old man often used them.Thinking of this, Jia Sidao glanced slightly at the inner room that Jelly had entered just now, and the door was closed. However, maybe Jia Sidao's little tricks were discovered by the idle and boring jelly, which attracted her to roll her eyes.It seemed that she closed the door on purpose just now, which made Jia Sidao feel very speechless, how could he meet such a spooky little girl. Seeing the old man put away the tube mirror, Jia Sidao immediately asked curiously: "Grandpa, is this really an ancient porcelain floor tile?" It is not surprising to use clay to fire floor tiles.However, when Jia Sidao searched for the floor tiles made of blue and white porcelain, he seemed to have never heard of them. "Hehe, there shouldn't be anything wrong." The old man looked at Jia Sidao, first said something to reassure Jia Sidao, and then said with some earnestness, "However, Xiao Jia, I like porcelain, play with it Collections are really rare for young people nowadays. Of course, if we like something or do something, we have to work hard to do it well. Now it seems that your knowledge reserve is obviously It’s not quite in place yet. This thing, even in history books, is recorded.”
