Chapter 21 Modern Small Commodities Exchange for Song Dynasty Crafts (1
Everything came to an end, and that night, they cleaned up their home in Da Song, plugged in the doors and windows, and slept sweetly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After waking up, their life in Da Song officially began.
There is no such thing as a police station, no need for a temporary residence permit, and there is no need to worry about the people in Chaoyang District reporting it.
They have lived here for far less than three months, and no one has asked them to pay taxes.
The place was a witness to their lease agreement, and he didn't look like an eventful man.
Wu Dapeng privately gave him three times, and said politely, what kind of etiquette with neighbors that we don't understand, you can do it!
Is there any etiquette in this world that can't be solved with money?
Sure enough, no, that Li Zheng said happily, these money is too much......
Visit the neighbors and explain that they have rented a house, and a small etiquette is enough, and there is no blame for not being prepared.
Wu Dapeng waved his hand and said, don't care, we are rich people......
It's a small thing, they're going to get to work, and that's the big thing.
According to the plan, their smuggled goods this time will be divided into three categories.
Porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, handicrafts or all kinds of gems and jade stones, strive to make them more delicate, strive to be older, and strive to be larger.
At the same time, they also gave this job to Yalang, and asked him to also go around collecting antique goods, and then look at the goods and give money.
This Yalang looks good now, there is nothing he doesn't know in the entire Lin'an County, he is easy to use, and his name is also magnificent, called Ma Yun.
Wu Dapeng told him very sincerely that in the distant city of Yindian, ancient goods are better to sell than new ones, so that's all, not much explanation.
Wu Dapeng and Song Ziqiang were in charge of the issue of porcelain.
In this way, they don't need to communicate much with the Song people, and when they see it, they quickly buy it.
As for how to choose porcelain from this time and space, Wu Dapeng decided to use the method of buying porcelain in later generations.
The porcelain shop was a big industry in the Southern Song Dynasty market, and there were many shops. But there are fewer shops that really regard it as art, and there are two or three in the entire Lin'an county, selling more ornaments.
Wu Dapeng and the two of them first found a store that looked better decorated and had a larger store.
He said to the shopkeeper: "I don't want your new porcelain, is there any longer ornaments in the store, the longer the better, and there must be an artistic sense." ”
The guy at the store said, "Why don't you take a look at the goods in the store first, so that I can know the preferences of the guest officer......
Wu Dapeng said: "Without him, the longer you can save it, the better, and it is best to be an old ...... in Curry."
The guy at the store said that he understood, and he met someone who likes to buy deposited goods, probably to save money.
The warehouse at the back of the store has stock.
At this time, a shopkeeper came out.
He was first taken aback by the height of the two guest officers, and then thundered by their request.
The shopkeeper said: "The small shop has been engaged in porcelain for a hundred years, and there are still some antique goods...... If the guest officer likes it, I have a warehouse in the countryside, and I can pick up the ...... later."
Wu Dapeng likes to speak slowly, he quickly nodded in approval, stretched out his fingers, and made an "ok" gesture.
The shopkeeper saw Wu Dapeng's thick fingers erected, and knew that he meant to express his liking, overseas businessmen, since they were different from us, so he smiled faintly and stopped talking.
The shopkeepers took out a few ornaments one after another, perhaps they had not been touched in the warehouse for many years, and there was dust in many places.
A shopkeeper stepped forward and wiped it quickly.
Song Ziqiang whispered to Wu Dapeng: "These porcelains are not too white......"
"Don't talk nonsense! At this time, only the Dingyao and Dehua kilns are white porcelain......"
"Is it worth even if it's not white?"
"Hadron, shut up, don't call them jokes......"
Compared with Song Ziqiang, Wu Dapeng is of course an expert.
This five major kilns of Song porcelain, Wu Dapeng has seen countless photos, and he knows it in his heart.
The shopkeeper had been shocked by Wu Dapeng's method of selecting porcelain.
I saw him pick up the eight-petal flower goose of the pink and blue checkered Chunlan diagram from the Nage kiln, and carefully observe it inside and out.
There he looked at the glaze of the porcelain to see if it was smooth and lubricated, whether there were abrasions, small holes, black spots and air bubbles, and whether the shape was regular and deformed.
Finally, I saw if the picture was damaged, and even put the flower goose on the table again to see if the bottom was flat.
When Wu Dapeng stretched out a thick finger and gently tapped the porcelain, the shopkeeper was completely disappointed, where is this overseas merchant who really loves porcelain? ! Is he a woman picking a bowl......
This eight-petal flower goose with a pink-blue checkered spring orchid has always been his favorite ornament, whether it is its form or the pattern on it, it is a fine product.
What is particularly unexpected is that there is a trace of extremely light blue glaze in the picture of Chunlan, which gives the pink Chunlan in the picture an indescribable charm.
That dignified and elegant taste is very understandable.
It's just that it is slightly deformed when it comes out of the kiln, which is a shortcoming.
When he accompanied his father to Longquan to buy goods, he took a fancy to this kind of flower goose at a glance, a total of four, three were sold in three years, and only this one was left.
Later, I had to store it in a warehouse...... Just now he heard that someone specialized in the goods in the warehouse, and he thought that he had met a merchant who could do business and communicate, and it was rare to hear that he was still an overseas visitor.
Now at first glance, it is no different from other buyers, and it is even more vulgar.
The shopkeeper saw that Wu Dapeng was listening carefully to the sound of his own tapping on the porcelain, and after he instructed the guys to entertain him, he turned around and left.
Where does Wu Dapeng care if he can go or not? I'll talk about it when the package is bargaining.
He heard the crisp and pleasant sound, which showed that the porcelain was delicate and dense, without cracks, and the porcelain was completely dissolved when fired at high temperatures.
If its voice is hoarse, it can be concluded that its porcelain is cracked, or the porcelain is incomplete, and this kind of porcelain is easy to crack after changes in heat and cold.
Of course, Wu Dapeng is very good at picking.
He noticed that there was a porcelain pillow in the shape of a little girl, and this one was white porcelain.
He remembered where he had seen a similar look, which photo was it? He couldn't remember for a moment.
There's no hurry, go back and look up the pictures in your notebook.
Wu Dapeng picked out other porcelain, especially those matching shapes.
He opened the chrysanthemum-petal blue glaze porcelain box and compared the fittings to see if its shape and picture decoration were coordinated.
Especially such a complete set of green glaze pieces, because the color of this green glaze changes with the different firing temperatures, so even if it is the same green glaze porcelain, its color is deep and shallow, if the color of each piece is obviously different, this set of porcelain is greatly inferior.
It's okay, although you can still see the difference if you look very closely, but it's okay.
Wu Dapeng picked dozens of pieces in one go, and then still said in an atmospheric manner: "That's all for the time being, I'll come back the next day, didn't you say that there are still warehouses in the countryside?!" Take them all out for me to choose...... Let's settle the score, it can be much cheaper, right? ”
In the end, it's still not cheap...... In this time and space, porcelain is not a bargain, pottery is, so ordinary people's household pottery is the norm.
Especially porcelain crafts. For example, the eight-petal flower goose of the pink and blue checkered Chunlan diagram actually counted 800 yuan, not a meeting but copper! Huizi is 8,000 yuan, this is really a death!
Even the chrysanthemum-petal blue glaze porcelain box has to be a hundred times...... Obviously, it is the level that can only hold two catties of sugar cubes.
The rest are not cheap......
Wu Dapeng could only start the plan of exchanging modern small commodities for the handicrafts of the Great Song Dynasty, especially since they even received products that were said to be from the official kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty, which were scattered among the people and brought here when they went south......
At that time, Wu Dapeng listened to the story of Ma Yun for a long time like listening to a TV direct sales program.
In Wu Dapeng's view, it's actually just a small piece of goods dipped in garlic juice when eating dumplings......
"Are you sure this is an official kiln?"
Wu Dapeng looked at it over and over again for a long time, but he really didn't have the ability to confirm the authenticity.
That tooth lang Ma Yun patted his chest and said, "A certain guarantee!" ”
Wu Dapeng said disdainfully: "As if you know porcelain, when the Great Song Dynasty was in Kaifeng before, where was its official kiln?" ”
“……”
Forget it, people do things with their hearts, there is nothing wrong with this, they should give more time, and they still have to give more.
Those in charge of calligraphy, painting, and other handicrafts also strongly demanded that the second batch of modern small commodities be exchanged for Song Dynasty handicrafts.
The prices of the Great Song Dynasty are not cheap, and their calligraphy, paintings and crafts are not cheap either!
Wang Defa and Wan Shida planned to buy books from the Great Song Dynasty and ink paintings.
At first, they didn't want to buy books, but they were moved after reading the auction report.
In an auction, 179 books of nearly 500 volumes, led by the only book at home and abroad, the Song version of "Splendid Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers", all 80 volumes, will be auctioned as a whole, with an auction price of nearly 200 million.
Think about it, a book costs almost 400,000!
The Southern Song Dynasty was only a few hundred in this period, but it was not cheap, of course, this was only for the ancients.
The two went to the bookstore in Lin'an to find used books to buy, and they bought them in sets.
Even ask if there are any people who sell books or like to trade in the old for the new.
When this responsibility was also put on the Yalang Ma Yun, he couldn't help it, and said: "I have been a Yalang for 30 years, and I have never heard of such a business thing, even if the overseas customs are weird, it is really incomprehensible!" ”
At that time, Wang Defa said seriously and seriously: "Let me tell you the truth, our rich people in Yindi Anguo are sick, and they need to grind and soak the things of the Great Song Dynasty, such as this porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and then send them to the stomach, so that the disease will be much better......"
"Then why don't you pick a few ......?"
Wan Shida also said seriously and seriously: "Comrade Ma Yun, you must be responsible in doing things!" We sincerely tell you that you must not be vain...... Before they grind and soak up, those rich people are going to take a serious look, do you think they will eat it casually?! ”
“……”
Of course, they know that if they want to do their jobs well, they must be paid. They pay entirely by the number of pieces they do and the quality of what they do, they just give more and never discount.
In the past, he got it in one day, which was a few hundred wen, but since he met them, it has been more than a dozen times, of course, they just give it to Huizi.
Yalang Ma Yun feels very strange about these people, needless to say their appearance, they can experience anything alone, which is admirable.
They are all-literate, they don't speak, they can open their mouths to come to long and short sentences, and they can build walls!
