Chapter 283 Red Dragon Plate!
Lin Ran and the two continued to wander around the Zhuque Art and Toy Market.
Once you have money, the range of choices becomes wider.
In the past, people just wanted to make as much money as possible when picking up leaks, but now, as long as they are confirmed to be genuine, they can be bought at a relatively high price, and then they can also be placed in the store to attract customers and decorate the facade.
After taking a look, Lin Ran thoughtfully played with the purple clay pot on the stall.
"This purple clay pot was used by Emperor Qianlong. If you want it, I'll sell it to you for 100 yuan." The bald boss said dismissively.
In his opinion, a child with a farmer does not seem to be doing business sincerely.
But Lin Ran didn't seem to hear what he said, and replied with a smile: "100 yuan is too expensive, and these purple clay pots are obviously imitations."
"Say it again? What does a little kid know?" The bald head looked a little annoyed.
"This one is of good workmanship. I bought it for 50 yuan." Lin Ran took out an old-looking pot from a pile of purple clay pots.
The market price of a purple clay teapot is only 80 to [-] yuan. This boss is clearly ripping off customers.
The bald man immediately became unhappy and snatched the purple clay pot back, saying, "I don't know how to pretend to understand. I won't sell this pot anymore."
Wang Jinpeng looked at the bald head impatiently. If it weren't for Wang Jinpeng's big stature, the boss would have kicked him out a long time ago.
Lin Ran was not angry, but squatted down and whispered to the boss: "Only the lid of your purple clay pot is authentic. Although it looks a bit old, the spout has obvious signs of modification, and the luster and feel are not right either. , he breaks a pot into several pots and sells them, the boss has a good mind."
The bald man who had looked disdainful just now had a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
How did this kid see it?
"Don't talk nonsense." The boss still wanted to argue.
Lin Ran sneered and said: "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you can find out if you find a professional appraisal. I think there should be many people who know the goods in the downtown area."
After saying that, he would stand up and shout.
When dealing with such a boss who is strong on the outside but hard on the inside, I like to teach him a lesson!
The bald man was so frightened that he grabbed him and said, "You kid, don't be so shameless."
But his expression seemed a little guilty.
Lin Ran was telling the truth, and the tea set in his hand was also true.
The tea set is real, but it is divided into several tea sets for sale.
As long as someone sees the real thing, they usually buy it all.
Lin Ran smiled and said: "Boss, I only buy this purple clay pot, is that okay?"
He took off the lid of one pot and placed it on the other pot.
The technique was so skillful that the bald head broke into a cold sweat.
"Okay, you're not allowed to talk nonsense outside." Baldhead finally chose to compromise.
"What about the price?"
"Take it 30 yuan." The bald man waved his hand impatiently.
The price was cheaper than Lin Ran thought. He suddenly realized that this was not the capital and prices were relatively cheap.
Lin Ran happily put the purple clay pot into his bag, took out three ten yuan bills and handed them to the bald head.
The purple clay pot in your hand was made by Chen Mingyuan in the Qing Dynasty.
Chen Mingyuan was a potter during the Qianlong period. The purple clay pot in his hands is exquisitely crafted, and the ribbed shape of the vessel blends with the natural shape.
On the handle of the purple clay teapot, a new bamboo tree is carved.
This purple clay pot was obviously not used by Emperor Qianlong, but was a work of appreciation by literati. On one side of the pot body, there are four words "Strong as Jade" engraved, and there is also an inscription by Chen Mingyuan! .
Continuing to walk forward, I saw a stall selling various plates.
After a day of shopping, Lin Ran also noticed that the biggest difference between the Zhuque Cultural Toy Market and the Jingcheng Cultural Toy Market was that each stall had individual genuine products, placed together with imitations.
I don’t know if it’s intentional or if I just don’t understand.
Not all cultural relics have collectible value. There are also many cultural relics belonging to ordinary people that have fallen into disrepair and have no collectible value.
Such as the plate stall in front of you.
There are indeed many bowls and dishes from the late Qing Dynasty here, but when most people buy tea bowls, they must first be usable.
The tea bowls of ordinary people are ordinary in shape, rough in workmanship, and even clucked, so the man who set up the stall was frowning and there was no business at all today.
When he saw Lin Ran squatting down to select, he did not chase them away like other stall owners, but smiled and greeted them to take a look.
The stalls are basically filled with dirty-looking dishes, celadon bowls, and Tang porcelain bowls. The workmanship is similar to that of the early New China period, so collectors are not interested.
Lin Ran rummaged for a while, and his eyes stopped on a large plate.
Unlike other celadon bowls, there is a red dragon engraved in the center of the disk, and four other dragons hovering around the plate.
What is a dragon?
It is a symbol of the royal family. How can ordinary people dare to engrave dragons on their plates?
So this plate immediately aroused Lin Ran's interest. He picked up the plate and looked at it carefully.
The plate is nine centimeters high, the mouth is about fifty centimeters, and the bottom diameter is thirty centimeters.
The text at the bottom had been worn away, but Lin Ran could still see it.
This is a great artifact from the Yongzheng period!
Blue and white porcelain is the representative color of the Yongzheng period. On the bottom of the plate, there is a lifelike red coiled dragon.
Chase the flame beads in the seawater cliffs painted in blue and white.
Four red dragons on the side of the plate are chasing each other in the blue and white porcelain patterns, with different expressions.
The only regret is that the text on the bottom of the plate has been erased.
It is possible that people who fled the palace took the plates out and brought them here to sell them for money, but they were worried about being recognized by the officials, so they concealed their identification.
But Lin Ran was already sure that this was the Yongzheng blue and white red dragon plate.
He looked at it for a while and said to the boss: "How much does this plate cost?"
When he heard that someone wanted to buy something, the boss seemed very happy: "This plate costs ten yuan."
"Ten yuan?" Lin Ran looked at the old man's expression, it didn't look like he was joking.
The old man obviously misunderstood what he meant and said: "Little brother, if you think it is expensive, just take another plate and leave. Our small business is not easy."
Looking at his dark face and honest smile.
It is not difficult to see that he is not a frequent visitor here, but he feels like a farmer.
Lin Ran took out 15 yuan, handed it to the old man, and then said: "Uncle, these plates of yours are not valuable. Most of them are from the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and cannot be sold for money."
He didn't deliberately undermine the boss's confidence, but after he bought the Red Dragon, other things were really worthless.
I didn't want him to waste time here, so I gave him an extra five yuan, hoping he would be more open-minded.
The old man was at a loss for taking the initiative to increase the price for himself, but looking at Lin Ran's eyes, he thanked her profusely after taking the money.
Lin Ran wrapped the plate in cloth and put it in his backpack.
...
I walked around until four o'clock in the afternoon. I didn't expect that there were many cultural relics from the Qing Dynasty here.
The mahogany chess, calligraphy and painting pencil case, the paintings of Qing generals and door gods, plus the scattered knick-knacks, made Lin Ran feel that his backpack had become heavy.
Seeing that it was getting late, they were ready to leave the entertainment market and return to the guest house.
However, when they stepped out of the Zhuque Art and Toy Market, they saw a group of people surrounding them aggressively!
