Chapter 696 Wood Edition

The old man is not tall, and he should be in his early sixties. He wears a sweat-absorbing white kung fu suit, which looks very energetic. However, since he entered the office, Zhuang Rui's eyes have stared at the object in his arms.

In the old man's arms is a wooden plate about one meter long and about seventy centimeters wide. The color is a little dark red. On the side of the board facing Zhuang Rui, there are also some reliefs.

Zhuang Rui sat not far from the door. As soon as the old man came in, although he could not take a closer look, Zhuang Rui could also recognize it. The relief on the wooden plate should be a door god with a big head and a small body. As for Qin Qiong or Yu Chigong, Zhuang Rui could not recognize him.

Although the wood of the wooden version is very delicate, Zhuang Rui can see that it must not be made of red sandalwood, otherwise I'm afraid the old man can't hold it at all.

', old man, come on, on a hot day, put down the things first and then Zhuang Rui stood up and helped the old man put the board on the square table. After getting started, Zhuang Rui felt that although the board was quite thick, it was not very heavy.

"I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself, I can't do it as a teacher..."

The old man waved his hand repeatedly, and finally at Zhuang Rui's insistence, he let go and let Zhuang Rui put his things on the table.

"Ha ha, old man, drink a sip of water first." Zhuang Rui laughed. Manager Zhang became a waiter now, and immediately took a glass of water and handed it over.

"Thank you, the old man and Zhang Li seem to know each other. After taking the water he poured, he stood there with some embarrassment and said, "Mr. Zhuang, this thing was uploaded by my ancestors and has been kept at home. Recently, the house has been demolished, and the compensation is not enough to buy a house in the urban area Let me show it to you. If it's worth two, I'll sell it..."

"Old man, just call me Xiaozhuang. I can't afford to be a teacher. May I ask, your ancestor is from Zhu Xianzhen, right?"

When Zhuang Rui heard that the old man was going to sell this thing, he couldn't help but brighten his eyes. Although the wood was ordinary, it was not small. When the moon looked at it with aura, the aura contained in the board was yellow in white, at least it was left over from the early Qing Dynasty.

The full name of this woodblock should be called the New Year's tablet, and the New Year's picture made with it is called the woodblock New Year's. Before the print occupied the market, the paper paintings used by people to post during the New Year's Day were all from this inconspicuous woodblock.

People who are familiar with history should have heard the name of Zhu Xianzhen. Yue Fei once broke the golden soldiers here. If it weren't for the twelve gold medals, maybe Chinese history would be rewritten again. However, in modern times, Zhu Xianzhen was famous for its woodblock New Year paintings.

Zhuxian Town's woodblock New Year paintings and Jin's Yang Liuqing, Jiangsu's Taohuawu's, Shandong's Hefang's, and Sichuan's Mianzhu New Year's paintings are collectively known as the five major New Year's paintings (also said to be the four major New Year's) and have been listed as

Zhu Xianzhen's New Year's paintings are characterized by full composition, thick and simplified lines, simple and exaggerated shapes, and new and bright colors, which are in line with the color of this wooden plate.

Another feature of Zhuxian Town's New Year Paintings is that it is divided into two categories, one is the god's paintings, such as the Kitchen God, the God of Heaven and Earth, etc., and the other is the door god. The most of the wooden New Year paintings in Zhuxian Town are the door gods, and the door gods are mainly Qin

So after He Bo entered the door, Zhuang Rui immediately guessed the origin of this wooden plate. Zhu Xianzhen itself is in Henan, and the door god's rigidity is a local characteristic. If Zhuang Rui doesn't have this vision, he can't mix with antiques anymore.

"Oh, it's a shame. Since Mr. Zhuang has seen it, I won't hide it. You're right. Our family moved out of Zhuxian Town..."

The old man nodded, with a trace of embarrassment on his face. It seemed that he came here with this wooden plate today, as if he had done something wrong.

"Mr. Zhuang, this is Uncle He. In the past, our two families lived together and had a very good relationship. Uncle He has been in a hurry to use money recently and has been asking me to take action. You want to collect things today, so I called Uncle He and asked him to bring it to you to have a look..."

Tian Li, who stood aside, seemed to be embarrassed to open his mouth when he saw the old man, so he told Zhuang Rui what had happened.

It turns out that the old man is from Zhuxian Town. This wooden rigidity is also inherited from the family. However, after that crazy era, although things are there, their family's craftsmanship has not been passed down. The old man also left his hometown and came to Zhengzhou with his family.

He Bo has been a worker all his life. Although his son is filial, he has no ability. He just earns a dead salary. He doesn't have to worry about drinking old snacks, but he doesn't save much money.

It suddenly said that it would be demolished. If it was to move to the suburbs, his son and daughter-in-law were much farther from work, and it was inconvenient for his grandson to go to school. He Bo wanted to buy a house near where he used to live.

However, the compensation given by the government is more than 200,000 yuan short of buying a house in the original location, which worries the old man. After thinking about it, it seems that only the rigid value left by his ancestors at home.

So I found this stereotype when I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets! After that, He Bo entrusted Zhang Li to help. In the past two months, someone went home to see it, but because the old man's price was a little high, he couldn't negotiate.

Zhang Li also saw that Zhuang Rui was generous, so he called He Bo to see if Zhuang Rui was interested.

"Old man, I'll take a look at the things first." Zhuang Rui is afraid that he will buy it with his own mouth, and the other party will sit on the ground and start the price. Besides, when he learned miscellaneous appreciation from Uncle De, he had already heard that the wood version of the New Year's painting. Taking this opportunity, he could just

"Look, whatever you want..."

Although Zhuang Rui was young, the old man was told by Tension and knew that he was a well-known antique expert in the country, so he looked a little reserved.

Zhuang Rui didn't say anything more. He picked up the magnifying glass and looked carefully at the wooden plate on the table.

This woodblock carving originated in the Tang Dynasty, but it has been popular since the Song Dynasty. Because these are all folk handicrafts, the wood for making woodblocks is also made from local materials. Like the material, like the woodblock in the Tang and Song Dynasties, I'm afraid it has been rotten and difficult to preserve.

The general woodblock is carved with a wide distribution of boxwood, but this woodblock, from Zhuang Rui's point of view, is carved from the mahogany produced in Dongfei City. After hundreds of years, the woodblock is still dense and delicate, emitting a faint fragrance.

After observing for a long time, Zhuang Rui raised his head and asked the old man, "He Bo, how much do you want to sell this wooden plate?"

"This...this, 300,000..."

He Bo hesitated for a moment and quoted a price, but it made many people in the room shake their heads one after another. They are all from Henan. They are not unfamiliar with the wooden version of Zhuxian Town. Generally speaking, 100,000 yuan can be received for a wooden version like this.

"This old man, 300,000 yuan is a little expensive..."

"Yes, although there are few wooden plates now, you can still receive it in Zhuxian Town. "In the eyes of these experts in the room, He Bo is a little lion's mouth. Judging from the price given by Zhuang Rui when identifying objects in front of him, he absolutely knows that the price is high.

"300,000?"

Zhuang Rui also frowned slightly, and the price was higher than he expected.

"It's 300,000 yuan, Mr. Zhuang. This thing was handed down from home. Now I'm sorry for my ancestors to sell it. If it's less than 300,000 yuan, I won't sell it. At most, I will move to the suburbs..."

He Bo was very affectionate about this wooden plate. He often saw it when he was a child. Later, he fled with his family to Zhengzhou. At that time, he didn't bring anything, so he took this wooden plate. It can be said that this woodcut plate also pinned some of the old man's thoughts on the elders.

"Okay, He Bo, as you said, 300,000, Zhang Jingli, write an agreement, Peng Fei, take out 300,000..."

After thinking about it, Zhuang Rui finally decided to buy it. This wooden version is obviously specially carved from Shandong. From the middle of the Qing Dynasty to the present, there is no crack or moth, which is extremely rare.

"Brother Zhuang, this thing is not worth 300,000 yuan, is it?"

Peng Fei took out 30 stacks of R Peng from his backpack and put them on the table.

The question raised by Peng Fei was exactly what the collectors in the room wanted to ask. They spent 300,000 yuan to buy a thing worth only 100,000 yuan. No matter how the business looked at it, it was a loss.

Zhuang Rui smiled and said, "Peng Fei, although this wooden plate can't reach the Ming Dynasty, it should be around Kangxi, which is also precious. From this point of view, it is necessary to add some points. In the price of 100,000 yuan, at least 50,000 yuan.

Secondly, this wooden plate is carved from mahogany. Everyone knows that mahogany ward off evil spirits, and the mahogany in Feicheng, Shandong Province, is a god of ward off evil spirits and disaster relief. With this, you can add another 50,000 yuan.

Thirdly, look at the appearance, this wood version is in good condition, there is no decaying place, and the carving is exquisite, which can add another 50,000 yuan..."

Everyone in the room heard it interestingly, and one of them shouted, "Boss Zhuang, what about 50,000 more?"

When Zhuang Rui heard the words, he arched his hand four circles in the room and said with a smile, "Bosses, this wooden plate is an ancestral thing of Uncle He's family. Although I can't be called a gentleman, it's also a good thing to take people. Is it reasonable to add another 50,000 yuan?"

"Well, Mr. Zhuang said it well!"

"Mr. Zhuang's benevolence and righteousness!"

"Yes, affectionate and righteous, such a person can be an expert"" "I didn't say, Mr. Zhuang, if I have something in the future, I will go to Beijing to find you..."

Zhuang Rui's words not only made the people in the room shout loudly, but also those who were waiting for the view outside also raised their thumbs. Zhuang Rui's remarks completely convinced these people who were in the antique industry.
