Chapter 640: Working for Mother 2
Fortunately, Bao Zixuan was well prepared, otherwise it would be a huge headache if he couldn't choose good ingredients in the store. You must be careful when doing things for your mother, so when Peng Yifei took out the ingredients, even the well-informed Xu Botao was confused.
It was an eye-opener. After all, the stone he took out was not an ordinary stone, but it was called the Shoushan Tianhuang Stone, which is known as the Seal of the Stones.
Tianhuang stone, referred to as "Tianhuang", is produced under the rice fields on both sides of "Shoushan River" in Shoushan Township, Fu City. It is named after its yellow color. It is an excellent variety of Shoushan stone. In the narrow sense, Tianhuang stone refers to "Tiankeng stone", and in the broad sense, Tianhuang stone refers to its
A general name for a type of seal stone with the same chemical composition.
In terms of physical properties and arts and crafts characteristics, Tianhuang stone is similar to Shoushan stone and has become an independent seal stone variety.
Where did Tianhuang get its name? In short, it is a yellow color stone found in rice fields. Another reason why Tianhuang stone is rare is because there is only a few miles of narrow paddy fields on both sides of a stream in Shoushan Village on earth.
Only sand layers exist. And after hundreds of years of
With continuous excavation, the paddy fields in Shoushan Village have been dug up countless times, and now they are completely exhausted. The high-quality Tianhuang has long been a priceless treasure. In ancient times, there was a saying of "one liang of Tianhuang and three liang of gold", and now it should be
"Liang" is equal to "jin", so the price of Tianhuang is rising rapidly.
According to folklore, after Nuwa mended the sky, there were still many spiritual stones of different sizes left. So she patrolled the land of China, and finally found that the mountains and rivers of Shoushan contained mist, the woods and ravines were quiet, and the scenery was beautiful, so she put these
The spiritual stone once used to mend the sky was scattered on the ground of Shoushan. This is the "Tianhuang Stone" contained in the paddy fields of Shoushan.
Emperor Qianlong sealed Tian Huang as the seal emperor, and the chicken blood as the seal showed how precious this stone was. Peng Yifei took out these pieces, which are definitely top-grade among Tian Huang stones, and can be said to be extremely precious.
Bao Zixuan: "I don't know if these things can catch the eyes of Mr. Xu, or if Cuiwen Pavilion has better materials that can be taken out."
Xu Botao: "It's so precious. I haven't seen this kind of material for many years. Not to mention Cuiwen Pavilion, even in Kyoto, you can't find such a good material. This can be said to be the top material in our gold and stone world.
These items must be quite expensive!"
Peng Yifei smiled and said: "It cost 100,000."
When Xu Botao heard the price, he smiled and said: "It's not expensive at all. It seems that Mr. Peng has made a mistake."
Not long after Peng Yifei said the following words, Mr. Xu really didn't know what to say. He could only lament that he was wealthy.
In fact, these Tianhuang stones were purchased from the descendants of a Southern Fujian official from the Qing Dynasty. Their ancestors served as governors of Southern Fujian and were later transferred to Kyoto as Minister of Rites. They may have been hidden at home for several generations.
But now my daughter wants to study in the UK, but the family really can't afford it. We have no choice but to sell off the treasures handed down from our ancestors. After searching through boxes and cabinets, only these three Tianhuang stones are the most valuable.
They directly offered a price of 100,000 pounds, but they didn't expect the other party to close the deal without even paying back the price. This made the seller feel that the price was too low, otherwise the buyer would be so happy.
When he received Bao Zixuan's order to collect pens, inks, paper and inkstones, Peng Yifei had already thought about the seal issue. Now that he saw such good materials, he dared to delay. Not to mention 100,000 pounds, even 1 million pounds would have to be collected.
The boss's character is such that he knows that the things he buys for Li Yulin must be the best.
Mr. Xu Botao didn't say anything when he found out the price of 100,000 pounds. Even if he found such a good material, he couldn't afford it. However, being able to carve such a high-quality material with his own hands has no regrets. After seeing it, he owns it.
In the end, Bao Zixuan spent US$3,000 to have Xu Botao carve three seals, including two for his mother and one for himself. He also spent US$5,000 to buy two boxes of eight treasure ink pads, which can be said to be an absolutely sky-high price.
I don’t know what’s going on. In this era, mainland Chinese people want to collect foreign exchange when they see foreign businessmen. Bao Zixuan gave so much money in the hope that Master Xu will take it seriously. It takes a long time to carve the seal. Peng Yifei will deliver it after the carving is completed.
Xiangjiang.
After finishing his work at Cuiwen Pavilion, Peng Yifei took Bao Shoufu to the next store.
Rongbaozhai is a well-known overseas time-honored shop that sells the four treasures of the study. It has a history of more than 300 years. Rongbaozhai is located on Liulichang West Street outside Hepingmen, Kyoto. It is a tall antique building with antique features and carved beams and paintings.
It has a history of more than 300 years since the establishment of "Songzhuzhai" Nanzhi Shop, the predecessor of Rongbaozhai in Kyoto, in 1672. In 1894, the "Songzhuzhai" serial number "Rongbaozhai" was established, and a "Tietuo" institution was added.
It laid the foundation for the subsequent development of the woodblock watermark industry.
I came to Rongbaozhai today just for their treasure. The other party that Peng Yifei wanted to buy didn't give him face before. Bao Zixuan wanted to come and see it in person. He always believed that as long as the price was right, there was nothing he couldn't buy. Maybe in his eyes,
He believes that antiques, calligraphy and paintings are just commodities, and he has no special feelings for them. However, Mr. Bao does not understand the mentality of a real collector. He can only say that he is still too young.
The Rongbaozhai store has the old Chengxintang paper by Empress Li, which can be said to be the only one in Kyoto; it cannot be found in other stores. After all, paper is not easy to preserve.
Chengxintang paper is a famous paper produced by the working people in the Huizhou area of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Because of its excellent quality, it was rated as the best paper in the history of Chinese papermaking. It is one of the three treasures of the Southern Tang Dynasty;
It is like a film, as strong and clean as jade, and famous for its thinness and smoothness.
As early as the Southern Tang Dynasty, Empress Li highly praised this kind of paper and built a hall to hide it. Because the place of origin is Mother Mountain and Yushan Mountain in Shexian County, there is a natural wonder "Nine Unlocked Stone Gates" on the Chuanshan Mountain.
, the Yunxi River passes through the heart, hence the name Chengxin. It is a natural dojo where Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are integrated.
It can be said that every piece of this old paper that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years is a cultural relic, so when Peng Yifei asked to buy it, people ignored him.
I bought a lot of paper before, including old paper from the Song Dynasty. I also bought it for $2. As the richest man in the world, I certainly didn’t want to let it go. The things my mother used must not be careless, even if they are expensive, they have to get them.
Seeing that it was Peng Yifei coming over, the clerk quickly invited the shopkeeper out. Although he did not go to Chengxintang to purchase, Peng Yifei had bought a lot of good things from Rongbaozhai before. He was considered a relatively big customer in the store, and no one dared to neglect it.
The shopkeeper of Rongbaozhai, whose surname is Li, has been in Rongbaozhai for more than 40 years since he was an apprentice and has a high prestige in the store.
Shopkeeper Li smiled and said: "Mr. Peng first agreed, we will warmly welcome you to the store, and we will give you discounts on whatever you want to buy. But forget it if it is Empress Li's Chengxintang. The store has been preserved very well.
It’s not easy, I won’t do it easily.”
This is a vaccination in advance, but Bao Zixuan is bound to win today.
Peng Yifei said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Li, please don't say that. Paper is for people to use. It doesn't matter where it is always kept. Your store also costs money to store it. Not only am I here this time, but also my
The boss also came here in person. It can be said that he is full of sincerity and hopes that shopkeeper Li can fulfill his wish."
I heard that the young man in front of me was Peng Yifei's boss, and it turned out that he was the rich man in Hong Kong. It turned out that he was so young, and it seemed that a person really couldn't be judged by his appearance.
Shopkeeper Li said with a smile: "The presence of distinguished guests really makes our store shine, but Empress Li's Chengxintang still won't take action. This is not a question of more money or less, but a question of inheritance in the store, so there is no
There is room for negotiation.”
Seeing that the old man was so determined, Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Every item has a price, shopkeeper Li. I believe that Mr. Li himself does not want Chengxintang paper to be buried in the warehouse forever. Paper is for people's use.
, my mother likes antiques, calligraphy and painting, so it can be regarded as fulfilling her old wish."
I heard that the purpose of buying Chengxintang paper was to let my mother paint. This is a treatment that only a painter of any age can receive. I have never heard of that famous female painter in Xiangjiang, and the more I think about it, the less I understand.
Shopkeeper Li: "Chengxintang has been in the store for more than 300 years, and even Rongbaozhai has not sold it despite difficulties. Therefore, it will never be sold, and the inheritance of such good paper cannot be interrupted in my hands."
Bao Zixuan: "Paper has value only when it is used by people. What's the point of always being kept in the warehouse? So I hope you can think about it carefully, and don't you want to listen to my quotation!"
Shopkeeper Li: "This is not a price issue, but a matter of the store's heritage. Empress Li's Chengxintang can be said to be the best paper in the world, and Rongbaozhai is called Liulichang's No. 1 paper precisely because of this kind of paper."
A paper shop. If we sell it, we may make a lot of money, but how can we publicize it to the outside world in the future? Then we will have no advantage compared with other stores, and Rongbaozhai cannot afford this loss."
Bao Zixuan didn't expect to say such a thing. It seemed that he really didn't understand the antique business. But he didn't need to understand, because he didn't believe that the other party was not moved by money.
At this time, no one was talking, and the situation became awkward. But it was not a problem to be so tense all the time. We still had to let Rong Baozhai loose his words. We must take action now, otherwise we may really have to fight with Empress Li
Chengxintang was missed.
