Chapter 710 Eight Immortals Gourd Bottle (2)
The gourd bottle has a natural appearance in the shape of a gourd. The mouth of the bottle is large and outward, and the lines are smoothly transitioning to the upper and lower abdomen. The two are perfectly integrated to form a full and round gourd.
It looks cute and elegant.
Chen Yu secretly exclaimed in his heart that the opportunity in this world is indeed wonderful.
The old man in front of him was searching for porcelain with Taoist elements but couldn't get it. The gourd bottle appeared in front of him like a god.
"But, I won't give him this opportunity!"
Since ancient times, gourds have been regarded as auspicious thing that attracts wealth and treasures, drives evil and suppresses evil.
Not only that, it also carries the beautiful wishes of many children and blessings, and is a symbol of family prosperity.
In Taoist culture, gourds are even more respected as the top magic weapon. They are not only natural treasures that are decorated with immortal pills, but also supreme magic weapon that can swallow the sky and spit the earth and form its own cave.
This gourd bottle is undoubtedly a typical Taoist utensil.
Because the image of the Eight Immortals of Taoism is drawn on the bottle, and they are the eight immortals who are well-known for "the Eight Immortals cross the sea and show their magical powers."
The image of the Eight Immortals on the Bottle is outlined to lifelike, and the proportions of the eight immortals on the Bottle are very coordinated.
The upper part of the gourd, Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, Lu Dongbin and Zhang Guolao stood leisurely, their expressions and postures were different, but they echoed each other.
In the second half, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe, Han Xiangzi and Cao Guojiu stood with each other, with their postures staggered and their movements stretched and relaxed in moderation, which contrasted with the upper half.
Every stroke and stroke can show the craftsman's hard work and exquisite skills, giving people a wonderful feeling of breaking through the wall at any time and stepping into this mundane world.
A treasure gourd is hung on the waist of the iron crucian plum. The gourd is simple in shape and gentle in color. It seems that with a slight tilt, you can pour out the immortal medicine that will resurrect.
Han Zhongli held a round fan in his hand, looking leisurely and contented. On the fan, the ink-colored view of the Immortal Mountain Spiritual Palace seemed to hide Taoist mysteries.
Lu Dongbin carried a sword with his fairy spirit and the sword energy that killed demons and eliminated demons seemed to be about to emerge.
Zhang Guo Lao looked kind and rode a donkey backwards. His cynical look was casual and free.
Fairy He held the lotus, Lan Caihe held the flower basket, and Han Xiangzi held the jade flute, which was also a fairy-like spirit.
The finishing touch is Cao Guojiu.
Cao Guojiu held the Yunyang board in his hand, and his every move was extraordinary and had a kind of royal noble style. However, if he looked closely, under that noble temperament, he also had a kind of indifference of admiring the purity of the clear and empty mind and not liking wealth. He seemed to have seen through the prosperity of the world and just wanted to pursue the true meaning of Taoism.
It can be said that the Eight Immortals on this gourd bottle are the Eight Immortals that ordinary people imagine.
"This..." Chen Yu's heart moved.
From the first sight of this gourd bottle, he vaguely felt that it was not an extraordinary product, and it was probably an imperial porcelain official kiln!
The more carefully you look at it at this moment, the stronger your inner confidence will be.
But then I thought, "Cao Ji Antique" is just an ordinary shop, how could there be blue and white porcelain in the Jiajing official kiln? It is really unbelievable.
After thinking about it, Chen Yu turned over the gourd bottle and checked the bottom of the bottle.
The middle-aged man next to him insisted that the logo was wrong. When Chen Yu looked closer, he found that the logo was indeed a little blurry, and there was a crack in it. It looked like a scar, which looked particularly dazzling. In addition, the bottle had a very new appearance. At first glance, it looked like it had just been fired from a kiln, which inevitably made people suspicious.
But Chen Yu believes in his judgment more.
This bottle may be an official kiln!
In order to further confirm his guess, he quietly used the treasure appraisal golden pupils.
In an instant, the precious light appeared, the color was deep blue, and the size was like a dumpling.
"Sure enough, it is really Jiajing official kiln! And it is a genuine official kiln!"
Although the Jiajing blue and white porcelain is not famous, it is far inferior to Yongle blue and white porcelain and Xuande blue and white porcelain, it has always been loved by collectors.
Although there is a flaw in the bottom of this gourd bottle, in the eyes of many collectors, incompleteness is also a kind of beauty and does not affect its value.
The market valuation should be around 20 million.
Chen Yu put the gourd bottle back to its original place, and said with a smile but a firm tone: "This gourd bottle has a bright blue and white color, and the characters are lifelike. It is not a counterfeit, but a genuine official kiln! This gentleman, you can buy an official kiln porcelain for 50,000 mosquitoes, and let me say, you really have a treasure."
At the end of the talk, Chen Yu spoke a bad Cantonese sentence.
When the middle-aged man with scarfaced face heard this, he sneered and replied with disdain: "You, a young man who doesn't understand Cantonese, dare to show off in front of me? Tell you, I learned to identify antiques from neighbors at the age of twelve or thirteen. Although I don't rely on antiques to make a living, the most basic thing can be distinguished from the authenticity!
"Haha, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I will spread this matter so that the entire antique circle will know that your store sells fake goods. Let's see how you can gain a foothold in this industry!"
Chen Yu's expression was calm, as if he had expected him to react like this. He smiled calmly and asked again, "How much did you buy this gourd bottle?"
The middle-aged man with scarfaced face immediately stretched out his five fingers.
Chen Yu asked tentatively: "Five thousand?"
The middle-aged man with scarfaced face suddenly became furious and shouted in a bad voice: "Please, it's 50,000! I'll order a vase and I'll buy it. Do you think I'm a poor man?"
Chen Yu nodded slowly, turned to Cao Jiahui and said, "Shopkeeper Cao, do you think this is OK! What about you, giving him 150,000 yuan is considered a repurchase. Then I am willing to bid 200,000 yuan to buy this bottle."
Cao Jiahui thought Chen Yu was helping him, and at this moment, he quickly walked to the safe without saying a word and pressed the password.
The action was completed in one go, and it was obviously very familiar with this process.
As the safe door slowly opened, he reached out to take out the 15 stacks of banknotes, turned around and returned to the counter, and placed the money neatly on it.
Looking up at the middle-aged man with scarfaced face, Cao Jiahui knocked on the table, "The money is here. If you want to take it away, just write a note, and the black and white words indicate that it is a repurchase.
"Remember, it's not about losing money to you.
"You only have this chance, but you miss it and you will be gone!"
When the middle-aged man with scarfaced face heard this, his eyes were instantly attracted by the mountain of banknotes on the counter, and his greed and hesitation were revealed.
His eyes wandered back and forth between the banknotes and Shen Yu, and he secretly made an abacus in his heart. Chen Yu's confident look made him feel a little upset!
Maybe this bottle really hides some unknown value.
"Is it true? No, right? The thief light on the bottle is definitely just burned!"
After experiencing a fierce battle between heaven and man in his heart, the middle-aged scarfaced man seemed to have finally made up his mind, and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll write you a document."
However, the moment he reached out to pick up the pen, his eyes rolled, as if he suddenly thought of something, and immediately put the pen down.
He turned his head and looked straight at Chen Yu, with a slightly flattering smile on his face, "Youngsheng, I just said that I would spend 200,000 yuan to buy from him, so why don't you buy mine directly?
“Isn’t it better if I sell the bottle to you directly?
