Rebirth Picking Leaks Started in 1992

Chapter 28 Top Grade Tian Huang Seal

Things went smoother than expected. After Jiang Yuan and Liu Xiaojun left Gaoling Village, they stayed in a hotel for one night and arrived at Jingdezhen Antique City early the next morning.

Shuguang Road is a street similar to Tongci Street, except that this street is larger and most of the antiques on the stalls are porcelain.

It is not difficult to understand. Jingdezhen is the capital of porcelain. Countless porcelains have been fired in Jingdezhen in the past dynasties, and a large part of the antiques left behind are also scattered locally.

However, looking at porcelain in Jingdezhen requires a very high level of vision.

Liu Xiaojun followed Jiang Yuan and glanced at the small stalls. Everything looked like antiques.

Suddenly, Jiang Yuan's eyes locked on a small seal on the stall diagonally opposite.

When I walked in, I saw that the seal was a long yellow strip, about the size of a thumb, with a lotus carved on one end and the four characters "Takuken Mountain Hall" engraved on the bottom.

The stall owner raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yuan without saying much.

When Liu Xiaojun saw it was a seal, he immediately became interested:

"Brother Jiang, I have also learned something from Mr. Liu during this period, why don't I talk about it first?"

Jiang Yuan also intended to test Liu Xiaojun, "Then you can take a look first."

When the boss nodded, Liu Xiaojun carefully picked up the seal, looked at it closely and said:

"Looking at the material, it should be Tianhuang stone. The color is greasy, soft and bright, and the quality is very good."

Li Xiaojun said and looked at the carver again, thought for a while and said:

"This carving is a bit inferior. I can't tell. Anyway, I think it's far worse than Liu Lao's carvings."

"As for the year, I can't tell. I remember Mr. Liu said that Tianhuang seal is very expensive."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Tianhuang is a treasure among the Shoushan stone varieties. It is known as the "King of Stones". The output is very small and it is difficult to become useful. What's more, it is a yellow color reserved only for the royal family. It was loved and regarded by the emperors of the Qing Dynasty as

Treasures are also highly praised by literati, officials and nobles."

Liu Xiaojun said curiously:

"Since Tianhuang is so rare, this seal must be old. How much is it worth?"

"Hey, there are several Tianhuang seals here," Liu Xiaojun suddenly pointed to several Tianhuang stones on the stall, "Brother Jiang, these are bigger!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Yuan's mouth. Without even looking at the stones, he looked at the stall owner and asked:

"How to say?"

Jiang Yuan recognized several other pieces of 'fake Tianhuang' at a glance. The stall owner immediately knew that Jiang Yuan was an 'expert', but unfortunately he didn't realize that the piece in his hand was also fake.

"Twenty thousand," the stall owner said lightly, "Since you know the value of this thing, I won't say more, just take it if you want."

Jiang Yuan smiled, "Twenty thousand is impossible. 'Loquat Yellow' can only be regarded as genuine. If it is 'Orange Peel Yellow', 'Simmer Red', such top quality or 'Orange Peel Red', you are the one."

I'll give it to you if you ask for 100,000 yuan.

Liu Xiaojun was confused by Jiang Yuan's words, but he also knew that now was not the time to interrupt and ask.

The stall owner thought for a moment, shook his head and said:

"It's not easy to achieve genuine products. The minimum price is 8,000 yuan. Anything less will not be mentioned."

"Two thousand," Jiang Yuan raised two fingers and said with a smile:

"My brother is right. The engraving of this square seal is a bit poor. It is a waste of material. It is not used by famous artists, so the collection can only focus on this piece of material."

"Among the seals of the late Qing Dynasty, this one can only be considered mid-range. At two thousand, I can only see this price."

The stall owner pretended to hesitate and said, "If I give you two thousand, I won't make any money at all."

Jiang Yuan didn't say anything, and was in a stalemate with the stall owner.

"Hey, Tian Huang, it's not bad," a feminine voice sounded, and a young man wearing a leather jacket came over, reaching out to take the Tian Huang in Jiang Yuan's hand.

Jiang Yuan quickly retracted his hand, a look of anger appearing on his face:

"Do you understand the rules? I haven't given up yet."

The stall owner was also a little angry, but didn't say much.

"Boss, tell me a price, I'll take it."

The young man took out a wad of banknotes directly from his arms, as if the seal was already in his pocket.

"I'm sorry, this guy is still reading."

The young man frowned and said, "What a fool. If you are hesitant, isn't it because you are short of money?"

"How much did he bid?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "Two thousand."

"I'll pay two thousand five hundred," the young man said while counting the money:

"If you don't have money, why don't you play with Tianhuang? It's better for you to go home and play in the mud."

Before Jiang Yuan got angry, Liu Xiaojun couldn't help it anymore. He grabbed the young man's neck and said, "We haven't finished talking yet, what qualifications do you have to bid?"

"Then go ahead and bid." The young man was not angry and slapped Liu Xiaojun's hand away, "I'll give you three minutes."

Jiang Yuan glanced at the young man coldly, turned to the boss and said:

"Two thousand five."

The boss's face remained unchanged, "No, it's still the price quoted just now, 8,000."

Jiang Yuan's eyes turned cold, "Two thousand and five at most."

"Forget it then," the stall owner originally planned to sell to the young man who came later, but now he waved his hand and said:

"Give me back the things."

Jiang Yuan expressionlessly put the seal back into the stall, and saw the stall owner looking at the young man in the jacket with a smile, "Brother, I also heard my quotation, eight thousand."

"Oh, I don't want it anymore," the young man laughed, turned around and left.

The stall owner was confused and then got angry, "You're causing trouble, aren't you?"

The young man smiled and walked away.

Jiang Yuan also looked puzzled, and saw the stall owner changed his smile again, "Brother, let's continue talking."

"Two thousand, not a penny more."

"Didn't you just say two thousand and five hundred?" The stall owner was a little anxious, "Why is there another five hundred less?"

"Just two thousand," Jiang Yuan said expressionlessly, "I'll give you a minute to think about it."

Seeing Jiang Yuan so domineering, Liu Xiaojun also felt happy.

"Hurry up, if you don't talk we're leaving!"

"Don't, don't leave!" The stall owner gritted his teeth, "Two thousand is just two thousand, take it and take it."

Jiang Yuan finally smiled, decisively gave him two thousand and went out, taking the seal and leaving without looking back.

The two walked into a restaurant, and Liu Xiaojun laughed loudly after sitting down:

"Brother Jiang, the way the boss looked just now was so ridiculous that he was afraid we would leave."

Jiang Yuan said 'hmm', "Let me test you, why do you think the stall owner was in a hurry to sell the things to me instead of keeping them for the next customer?"

Liu Xiaojun was stunned, "Yes, Tian Huang is very rare. Logically speaking, he wouldn't be like this."

Jiang Yuan smiled mysteriously, leaned over and whispered in Liu Xiaojun's ear:

"Half of this stuff is fake."

"Fake!" Liu Xiaojun was stunned.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to see it too."

Hearing the sound, Jiang Yuan frowned subconsciously, and then saw the young man in the jacket walking into the restaurant and sitting down opposite Jiang Yuan.

"When I asked you whether you were stupid, it turned out to be a lie. I even made a mess, but you still bought it."

Jiang Yuan poured him a glass of wine and said slowly:

"Looking at how young you are, you talk like a street kid."

"You care about me?" The young man drank the wine in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said:

"Explain, why do you want to buy it?"

Liu Xiaojun is also anxious

He asked: "Yes, why?"

"Want to know?" Jiang Yuan looked at the young man with a half-smile, "Tell me first who you are."

The young man raised his eyebrows and said, "From your accent, you should be from Binhai. I will go to Binhai in a while, and you should be able to see me then."

After saying this, the young man stood up and left, which was quite cool.

"This man must be sick," Liu Xiaojun complained, then looked at Jiang Yuan with curiosity, "Brother Jiang, tell me, why did you buy a fake?"

"I told you, it's half a fake," Jiang Yuan smiled and took out the seal, asked the boss for a bowl of vinegar, and threw the seal in directly.

A few minutes later, Jiang Yuan took out the seal and broke it gently, and saw that the seal was broken into two halves.

It turns out that the outside is just a shell, and there is another slightly smaller Tianhuang seal inlaid in the middle. The difference is that this seal is as red as orange peel.

"Brother Jiang, could this be the top-grade Tianhuang stone you mentioned - orange peel red?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "I picked up a big leak this time, and I have another treasure in my shop."

Jiang Yuan did the math. He now has a tiger charm, a large-scale calligraphy work by Yu Youren, plus the porcelain of average value bought from the Chen family, and this top-quality Tianhuang seal. Although it is not enough

It fills the entire shop, but at least it can support the facade.

Of course, what moved Jiang Yuan the most was Ye Zhiqiu’s hollow pastel revolving vase from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It was a priceless treasure.

After coming back to his senses, Jiang Yuan took Liu Xiaojun to find a hotel to stay in, preparing to return to Binhai early tomorrow morning.

When we returned to Binhai the next day, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Jiang Yuan picked up the truck at the station, sent Liu Xiaojun back to rest first, and then drove to the store himself.

Less than three days after I left, the store had changed drastically.

There are two pots of welcoming pine trees placed on the left and right of the store entrance, and the newly replaced glass door is spotless.

When I walked in, I saw that the paint-splashed walls had been repainted, and the ground had been covered with dark brown wooden floors. According to Jiang Yuan's instructions, a set of ancient bookshelves had been placed against the walls on the left and right sides.

As for the inner room, there is a set of Eight Immortals tables. Although the material is ordinary elm wood, it is suitable for the occasion.

Jiang Yuan also discovered that a wall was specially built inside to separate a small bedroom of about ten square meters.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, the shop was finally almost completed.

"And there are bookshelves?"

Jiang Yuan looked at the bookshelf against the wall and walked forward with doubts on his face.

The entire bookshelf was empty except for a red brick.

Jiang Yuan seemed to have thought of something and gently moved the red brick away.

I heard a 'click' sound, and the bookshelf slowly moved to the side, revealing an entrance about one meter wide.

Jiang Yuan looked down and saw that it was a basement.

Walking down the steps, Jiang Yuan became more and more happy.

The basement is a full seventy or eighty square meters. In addition to rows of bookshelves, there is also an oversized safe, which is two meters high and more than one meter wide. It is welded directly to the ground.

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and seemed to have seen the basement full of antiques.

After walking out of the basement, Jiang Yuan first placed a basket of porcelain on the ancient shelf outside, and then placed the tiger talisman and Tianhuang seal. As for the calligraphy of Yu Youren, Jiang Yuan hung it directly on the wall.

"If we find someone to make a plaque for "Wanbao Tower", we will be able to live together."

Jiang Yuan pulled down the rolling shutter door, got in the truck and headed to Tongci Street.

Zhu Wei helped make the store so good, so he had to say thank you in person.
