Chapter 302 Black as paint, as thin as paper (top, bottom)

Jiang Stall is well savvy in business and knows that he can't let go. He offered the lowest price, but he didn't see it. When Zhuang Rui turned around, the corners of his mouth had already shown a smile.

"Boss, the 1,000 yuan you mentioned is not in US dollars, is it?"

Zhuang Rui deliberately asked with a simple look, which attracted a burst of laughter around him. The onlookers thought that Zhuang Rui was making fun of the stall owner, because this black thing did not look like a valuable thing, and it directly shrank by two-thirds from three thousand to one thousand, indicating that the boss was not optimistic about it at all. Piece.

"Dad, do you have US dollars? RMB, take money if you play, don't make trouble

..."

The stall owner's face became a little ugly. Although everyone knows that the things sold here are fake, they can't be said in the face. What Zhuang Rui just asked is a little crowded.

"I didn't say no. I just asked clearly before buying it, so that you won't say it's US dollars later."

Zhuang Rui took out his wallet from his jeans pocket, counted the yuan and handed it over. He usually put 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in cash in his usual bag, but it was so hot that he was too lazy to take his bag and put a knife in the wallet. If the stall is mainly 3,000 yuan, he really can't pay for a while, and this stall can't be swiped by card.

After the stall owner took the money, his thin face and smiled and squeezed the skin together. Like a **, he took out a paper box with his hands and feet very sharpness. Of course, it was not as well packed as the Kangxi jar. He put the clay pot in the box, stuffed some plastic foam and other fillings in the middle, and then After a knot, it was handed over to Zhuang Rui.

"Hey, boss, why don't you play again and occupy something else? The things here are all real things

"Thank you. My house will be renovated next time. Come and buy something to charge.

Zhuang Rui's words once again attracted a look of contempt. Especially seeing such a graceful and charming woman as Miao Feifei following him makes many people who are more handsome than Zhuang Rui, and their waist bags are as uncomfortable as sand in their eyes.

After walking out of this corner and walking forward 30 or 40 meters, until he couldn't see the stall, Zhuang Rui couldn't help laughing, which attracted the people around him to look sideways and pulled their bodies and Zhuang Rui away a few meters. These days, there are all kinds of people. Don't run out of the mental hospital. If you are sick, scratch yourself a few more times.

"Zhuang Rui, don't giggle. What the hell is the one you bought? Are you happy like this?

Miao Feifei stood in front of Zhuang Rui and was also appreciated as a rare animal. She quickly pulled Zhuang Rui and squeezed into the crowd.

"Oh, slow down, don't squeeze this thing out of me."

Zhuang Rui held the box in his hands. This object was very valuable. He didn't expect that Pan's home would have such a gain, which was also worthwhile.

When the two walked to the door of a store and were no longer crowded by the crowd, Zhuang Rui said, "This thing is called black pottery. It should be the period of Shandong Longkou culture in the late Neolithic period. The production process of black pottery is more sophisticated, exquisite, delicate and unique than that of the original colored pottery. As early as before the production of porcelain, Chinese black pottery has reached a degree comparable to that of porcelain. The value of this thing. It's much more expensive than the chicken jar cup we saw in Zhonghai

Black pottery has not been well-known in history. Until the New Year, Mr. Liang Siyong, the son of Liang Qichao, led the Kaoran team to discover the rare pottery high-handled hollow eggshell pottery cup many years ago in Chengkou at the two cultural sites of Rizhao, Shandong Province. It is unglazed and dark and shiny, and the tire is thin and hard. Its wall is the thickest, millimeters, the thinnest part is only millimeters, and the weight is only knife grams, which is the essence of its production process. It is the best in the world.

As a result, black pottery has become a typical representative of Longshan culture, also known as "standard black pottery" embodies a simple and extreme beauty, with extremely high artistry, occupies an important place in the history of Chinese arts and crafts, and is praised by the world archaeological community as "the most exquisite production of the earth civilization 4,000 years ago."

The exquisiteness of the black pottery jar found by Zhuang Rui can't be compared with that of the eggshell pottery cup. However, it is also extremely rare. The stock of black pottery is not small, but the fine quality of thin tires is rare. Maybe this jar in Zhuang Rui's hand. It's just an orphan product. In that case, the price is immeasurable.

"Zhuang Rui, how much can this jar cost?

Miao Feifei is not very interested in the origin of this thing. She just wants to know how much can Zhuang Rui's money worth?

Zhuang Rui glanced at the four sides, deliberately made a mysterious look, and said, "If you sell it in the industry or exchange with people, you should be able to sell it for tens of thousands of yuan, but if you get it in the auction house. The minimum is more than three million yuan. How much can it be sold? That's a lot to say

"Three million? Oh, my God, you are! I bought it with milk money, Zhuang Rui. I just found out now that you are really dark.

Miao Feifei was shocked by the price. Although she has a good family background and has never been short of money, she has never earned it by herself. She never thought that this money could be made so easily, which made some confusion in Officer Miao's thinking. Zhuang Rui's image was also infinitely raised in her heart. Come on.

In fact, the price of Zhuang Rui has just been less. In recent years, more people have played with fine pottery, especially the price of black pottery, white pottery and colored pottery. In recent years, it has risen sharply. Compared with some official kiln porcelain in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is no less than that, but the number of such Naturally, the number of auctions is very small, so the public knows less about them.

However, in the circle of playing pottery, there is naturally such a kind of people who pay attention to it. If Zhuang Rui's black pottery work is auctioned, as long as it is slightly publicized in advance, the bottom auction price is estimated to be 4 million yuan higher.

"I said this little brother, in your box. Is it really Longshan black pottery?"

Zhuang Rui and Miao Feifei were shocked by a sound around them. Looking at the sound, they were thin old men in their sixties, wearing a one-piece gown and a pair of cloth shoes under their feet. They looked a little like the big shopkeeper in the pawnshop before liberation.

"Doe it have anything to do with you?"

Officer Miao's eyes stared. The old man's appearance was a little obscene, and Miss Miao has never been very interested in unbeautiful things and people.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all. But can this guy let the old man increase my knowledge?

The old man turned his face to Zhuang Rui. He could see that this thing was Zhuang Rui's, and naturally it was his decision.

"I'm sorry, I just said it casually. It's not necessarily true. It's better to forget that this place is a little miscellaneous. Zhuang Rui didn't want to show this object in front of people. He just thought about it. After the renovation of the quadrangle courtyard is completed, this thing will definitely be the first to settle in.

Seeing that Zhuang Rui was about to leave, the old man quickly pointed to the store in front of him and said, "Oh, little brother, don't worry. I'm not a bad person. Here, I opened this store. Let's go in and sit down. Is it Longshan black pottery? We can also learn from each other.

Zhuang Rui looked up. The door of the store is not on the signboard that says "Porcelain. Three. There are also a lot of people coming and going around. I'm a little tired of wandering around now. I can sit down and have a rest, so I nodded and said, "Oy, please give me your advice

Miao Feifei was a little unhappy, but when she saw Zhuang Rui go in, she had no choice but to follow her and sail

This antique shop specializes in ceramics. On the wooden shelves, large and small, there were all kinds of ceramic objects, and Zhuang Rui took a general look. There should be no less than thousands of ceramics, but there is also a counter in the store, and there is also a row of shelves behind. Presumably, it is the old thing with inheritance.

The old man in front of him is a second-generation relic of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, and he has had a lot of old things in his family since he was a child. It's just that the old man who can only eat, drink, gamble and smoke a lot of cigarettes has been ruined.

However, the small one is quite competitive. Relying on a few small objects left by his ancestors, he sold antiques in the early 1980s. At that time, the antiques in Beijing were worthless, and the pear wood table was only five yuan a small antique business for decades. People became old, and they also bought a lot of family business with their bare hands.

The shopkeeper just overheard the conversation between Zhuang Rui and Miao Feifei, and he didn't care much about it. It was only when he saw the confident look on Zhuang Rui's face that he wanted to see it, and then the previous scene happened.

Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, the three of them entered a private room inside and asked the clerk to pour tea. After that, the shopkeeper's eyes were placed on the paper box.

Zhuang Rui was not wordy, after reporting each other's names. He reached out to open the paper box, grabbed the edge of the black pottery jar, and took it out. Put it on the table.

"This thing is a little difficult to say. The fetal quality is quite thin, but it is a little like Longkou black pottery. However, this glaze color is a little unsure

The shopkeeper took a magnifying glass, circled around the wide-bellied jar for a long time, and knocked again with his hand. He was a little disappointed. He had never seen the real Longshan black pottery, but this thing was a little like a post-imitation, which was not very consistent with the legendary "black as lacquer and thin as paper" characteristics of the black pottery.

Longshan Hei Tao's "black as paint" characteristics. It does not mean pure black, but shiny in black, but the color of this black pottery is dim, and even the pulp is not so porcelain.

After seeing the shopkeeper's expression, Zhuang Rui laughed a few times and said, "That boss. You should have tung oil and white gauze, right? Please bring me some and I'll wash this black pottery.

"Tong oil? Isn't that for maintaining furniture?

The shopkeeper was a little confused when he heard the words. He had been immersed in the porcelain industry for decades and had not heard that tung oil could clean ceramics. However, since Zhuang Rui said so, there must be a reason for him. The shopkeeper quickly pleaded guilty and went out to prepare tung oil and gauze.

Chapter 103 Black as paint, as thin as paper (Part 2)

Tong oil is the oil extracted from the seeds of oil trees, a specialty in China. Oil tung is a genus of the halberd family. It is native to China and has a long history of cultivation. It was recorded in the Tang Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago. In the Yuan Dynasty, introduced by the Italian Marco Polo, the tung oil was spread overseas.

The appearance of tung oil is clear and transparent**, which has the characteristics of rapid drying, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. It can replace varnish, paint and other coatings, and is directly used for machine maintenance and indoor wooden floors. Wooden ceiling. Sauna board. Wooden balcony handrails, etc. Outdoor wooden floor. Flower rack, wooden house. Pavilions, fences, wooden bridges, boats, chairs, etc.

However, ordinary people rarely know that the tung oil diluted with water can also be used for ceramic maintenance. This is also the unique formula that Uncle De taught Zhuang Rui. Zhuang Rui only promised the shopkeeper, and he just wanted to borrow a little tung oil from him. It will take a lot of time for him to buy this thing by himself.

"Xiaozhuang, I've kept you waiting for a long time. I didn't store this thing in my store, so I went to someone else to borrow it."

In ordinary furniture stores, some tung oil will be stored for later use, but the porcelain shop is gone. After waiting for about ten minutes, the shopkeeper came in with a small bowl and a thick stack of white gauze in his hand.

"That shopkeeper, please bring two more large bowls

Although tung oil is transparent, there are also some impurities in it, which must be filtered before use. Zhuang Rong is also the first time to use the formula taught by Uncle De, and he can't help but feel a little nervous.

Zhuang Rui took the big bowl handed over by the shopkeeper. The mouth of the bowl was covered with white gauze, and the tung oil in the other small bowl was slowly poured in. With the naked eye, it can be seen that there were some impurities on the gauze. Then Zhuang Rui changed another gauze and filtered the tung oil in the large bowl again. After three times, the impurities are cleaned up.

After filtering the tung oil, Zhuang Rui took a large clean bowl, took two-thirds of the water, and then poured a little of the filtered tung oil, about a spoonful of root. The tung oil did not dissolve in the water. Zhuang Rui took a chopstick and couldn't help stirring it. After three or four minutes, the tung oil like egg white melted in the water.

After mixing tung oil and water, Zhuang Rui took a piece of clean white gauze and soaked it in it. Because tung oil evaporates quickly and is easy to dry, this gauze can only be taken out when it is used. After doing these tasks, Zhuang Rui cleaned the black pottery jar again and then wiped it with a dry cloth. The sunlight at the door of this room leading to the backyard can shine on the place. The density of the pottery is not as large as that of porcelain. After it is stained with water, it will seep into it. It is not enough to clean the outside. However, the weather in August is very sunny. It is estimated that the water inside can be dried after a while.

"Brother Zhuang, old man, I really learned a lot today. It turns out that tung oil can still be used like this?

After Zhuang Rui finished this series of actions, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, Zhuang Rui's every move, even a slight action, he firmly knew it. The people who come to know this skill of civet bamboo are all secret. Zhuang Rui is willing to use this method in front of him. For him, it is a great opportunity.

"It's just a skill to make the boss laugh

Zhuang Rui didn't care much. When Uncle De taught him this technology, he didn't say that he couldn't use it in front of people.

"Well, boss, do you have any study utensils for sale?"

When Zhuang Rui just walked into the store, he saw that there seemed to be several square inkstones behind the counter. Zhuang Rui knew that the ancient man's calligraphy was good. He usually liked to grind and wave his hair when he had nothing to do. It was good to see the old man to buy the inkstone at night. The literati gave elegant

"Ha ha, I specialize in ceramics. There are really no four treasures in the study. Did you see the inkstones in my store? Someone came to sell that thing some time ago. I took it when it looked good. If Brother Zhuang is interested, I'll bring it to you to have a look."

The palm stood up while talking. He had not been able to take action since he closed the inkstones. Although the price was very cheap when he closed it, it was uncomfortable to press on his hand.

"Brother Zhuang, take a look, if you like it. Just take it to play."

The shopkeeper also found someone to see it. These inkstones are very ordinary, and they are not very old. I guess they were made in the Republic of China. However, although he said generously, Zhuang Rui can't really not give money to take them away, which is too careless.

Zhuang Rui knows little about Yantai. He only knows that there are four famous inkstones in China, which are the Shiyans produced in the Qihe River in Lintan County, Gansu Province, China. Qin inkstone produced in Wuxi, the western foothills of Longwei, Poyuan, Jiangxi Province, is made of flowing fine mud. And Duan Yan, who was pushed to the head of the group inkstones. But how to tell the difference, he is a lay man.

It can't be said that Zhuang Rui can only use Reiki to investigate, but the result disappointed him. There is no aura in these square inkstones, and the material is rough, which should be just the most ordinary stone inkstone.

Zhuang Rui shook his head and said, "That boss. I'm not sure about these inkstones, hehe, forget it

The shopkeeper was not disappointed to hear the words. He was not optimistic about these inkstones in the first place. Naturally, it would be best to fool them out, but after listening to Zhuang Rui's words, he obviously saw it and said, "If you are free later, I'll take you to the Shuyazhai opposite to have a look.

"Well, I have to trouble the boss later."

Zhuang Rui nodded, stood up, took the clay pot at the door to the room, and rubbed it with his hand on it, but there was no feeling of wetness. The water must have penetrated into the tank. It also evaporated.

Although the clay pot has been cleaned, the black color still looks very dull and looks inconspicuous. However, Zhuang Rui knows that this is caused by the characteristics of the pottery. For example, after the porcelain is old, the porcelain tire will be slightly yellowed, and the pottery will form a thing on the surface after oxidative erosion of time. The quality makes the surface dusty and dull.

Zhuang Rui reached out and took out the gauze soaked in the tung oil bowl, and then used the gauze stained with tung oil. Carefully and evenly wipe the black pottery jar until the tank is covered with tung oil. Zhuang Rui quickly took another piece of clean gauze and quickly rubbed it hard on the jar. And the place he wiped, that kind of "black as paint. The color of "bright as a mirror" appeared in front of the shopkeeper and Miao Feifei.

After seven or eight minutes, the whole pottery pot has taken on a new look. This pearl, the Longshan black pottery, which was covered with dust a few years ago, finally showed its original appearance in Zhuang Rui's hand, the dark color that is bright in the black, bright in the light, and the fleshy in the light. Zhuang Rui, who was sweating profusely, was also intoxicated.

No matter what color it is, as long as it is pure to the extreme, it can show its unique charm. This is the case of black pottery in the Longshan cultural period. Although there is no decoration on it, the lightness, elegance and purity that are extremely simple make it exude a mysterious charm.

The black pottery on the table looks so dignified and beautiful after revealing its original appearance. Its material is delicate and moist, and its luster is calm and elegant, with a pearl-like beauty of gentleness and calmness.

Zhuang Rui picked up the clay pot, reached out his hand and tapped it gently. A pleasant sound of Mingyu came from it. The black tank was like ink jade, and there was a light of bronze, reflecting Zhuang Rui's face clearly, just like a mirror.

"Brother Zhuang, what a good vision. I'm ashamed of myself as an old man

Seeing the birth of this black pottery with his own eyes, the shopkeeper had already seen the light in his eyes and couldn't control himself. He just plays with ceramics. Naturally, he knows the value of this object. I'm afraid that all the real porcelain in his store is not as valuable as this black pottery.

"Well, the boss is too polite. I happened to hear the elders describe the characteristics of black pottery, so I luckily picked up a leak. It's just luck, luck."

Zhuang Rui smiled modestly. I'm afraid that the matter of buying black pottery will spread all over Pan's home in a few days. I don't know how angry the boss of the clever stall will be if he knows that it is the treasure he sold.

"Brother Zhuang, you black pottery, do you want to take action? My old man can do the next, and the price will definitely satisfy you.

After observing for a long time, the shopkeeper finally couldn't stand it. Such a boutique black pottery, not to mention in the folk, is in major museums in China. Not necessarily, but the palm of the hand raised the idea of taking it into the bag.

Before Zhuang Rui could reply, the shopkeeper heard the voice of the girl who came in with Zhuang Rui: "Zhuang Rui, you can't sell it. It's such a beautiful thing. When your courtyard is decorated, how good it will be in the living room."

Zhuang Rui smiled like the shopkeeper, but he didn't say anything. Miao Feifei said the same as his own idea. He would not sell this object for money. But as for what Miao Feifei said, it was placed in the living room. Zhuang Rui should think about it carefully. After all, this thing is too expensive. I'm afraid that he will learn from Viagra's father and order a booth to make a few spotlights in it. Although it's a little ostentatious, buddy is also to promote the traditional national culture. Reward suffocation, suffocation, profit, song, female, knife hoe, um, dare. D
