After some exchange, Bai Gaoze looked at what he brought.

Xia Yu and Bai Yujiao went to identify the bronze ware sent by others, and there were a total of four bronze ware.

Every bronze ware is quite extraordinary.

The first thing he identified was a Yu-li tripod, which he had bought in such a shape at the auction.

Commonly known as the split crotch tripod, it is a mixture of tripod and tripod. The upper part is like a tripod and the lower abdomen is like a tripod, but it also carries a longer section of cone or column foot, which is not completely the same as a bag foot tripod.

The Ge Ding appeared in the early Shang Dynasty and grew stronger in the late Shang Dynasty.

In the early Zhou Dynasty, the splitting of the tripod was very vague, and the shape of the tool was transformed and there was no distinction between the tripod.

This tripod is square in the lips and edges, with both ears standing upright on it. The abdomen is slightly expanded, with three pillars and feet, which is relatively thick. The edge is decorated with a cicada pattern below the edges, with the head and tail connected and distributed horizontally.

The cicada's mouth stretches forward, and a pair of round eyes are engraved in an dark shape. The lower part is almost triangular, and it is also engraved in an dark shape.

The abdomen is decorated with animal face patterns, and the raised halberd is the baseline of the nose of the animal face. The outline of the animal face has merged with the ground pattern, and only the horns, eyes, ears, mouth and other parts can be seen. There are horned dragon patterns on the head, bottom and tail on both sides of the animal face. There is an inscription "Yu" in the cauldron, which is probably the name of the owner of the instrument.

Bai Yujiao's research on bronzes is not as deep as him, so she still focuses on porcelain.

But she could see that the bronze ware was quite good and didn't look fake.

Bai Gaoze has been identified once, otherwise he would not have used it for Xia Yu to give it a purpose.

Xia Yu also carefully observed the appearance and other characteristics of the tripod first, and then started. Otherwise, if you start directly, it would feel too cheating.

His judgment was exactly the same as Bai Gaoze and Bai Yujiao. This bronze tripod is genuine.

It was probably in the late Shang Dynasty.

But if the body recognizes it or not, it depends on whether there is any reaction.

After touching it, the reaction came immediately.

It's still the familiar feeling, with joy and even a little ready to move.

Then there is nothing to say, just ask for it!

The price of this bronze tripod is also good, Bai Gaoze said it was 900,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Bai Yujiao naturally supports him, as long as he likes it, she has no objection, anyway, he is not short of this little money now.

It would be great if she opened her eyes, and the second one was also a bronze tripod.

The square lips and the oral edges are symmetrical on the top. The neck is slightly restrained, the abdomen is round and bulging, the bottom is retracted, and the bottom is supported by three pillars.

The above the abdomen is arranged alternately with cicada patterns and fire patterns, supplemented by clouds and thunderstorms.

Since the image of cicadas in the Shang Dynasty has no wings, there are two forms: ulcers and adults in the reproduction stage, which are popular in the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty.

There is an inscription "Brow" on the belly wall, and this bronze tripod can also be called "Brow tripod".

It is also a bronze ware that is well preserved and of good quality.

Both of them also identified it as true.

As for where such a tripod came from, if you trace the root of it, it must have been unearthed in China, just to see when it flowed to the port city.

Of course, there is no need to delve into these, and there is no way to delve into them.

As long as Xia Yu likes it, just take it down.

He doesn't even need physical acceptance. Such good things can be stored by himself.

When I started it again, I still had that familiar impulse...

Xia Yu was also thinking in his heart whether as long as it was real, the Baoding Space could absorb it?

The price of this tripod is the same as the first one, with 900,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Then there is a bronze Jue, which was the earliest bronze ritual vessel that appeared. By the late Shang Dynasty, the lengths of the flow and tail were close to each other. The double columns moved backward from the flow mouth. There was a tendency to increase the front section of the flow. There were many sacrificial heads, and the columns had bacteria, hat shapes, etc., which were mostly triangular conical shapes, and a few had triangular knife shapes.

This bronze jue belongs to the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty. It has a long flow and a tall tail, and moves backward along the two hat-shaped columns on the upper ovate. It has an oval belly with a half-ringed calf on one side and a triangular conical three-legged legs on the lower side. The decorative dragon pattern of the jue belly is special. Except for the round eyes, the outline is outlined with thick yang lines, and the rest are covered with clouds and thunder and land patterns.

The inscriptions "Zu Xin" and "Yu She" are cast on the pillars and under the horses. The former is the name of the sacrificed person, and the latter is the emblem of the clan.

As the same goes, bronzes with inscriptions will not be too cheap.

This bronze jue, Bai Gaoze said the market price is 700,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The price of bronze ware in the mainland is much higher, but it is also lower than that at auction.

After Xia Yu got it, he was also the type that could be absorbed.

The last piece is a bronze gui, which looks about 15 cm high.

The bronze gui first appeared in the early Shang Dynasty, became popular in the Western Zhou Dynasty and had a variety of styles. Its purpose is mostly used as a food utensil that can hold millet and sorghum, and it is often combined with a tripod when used.

This bronze gui is a typical model in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. It has a wide mouth and a neck, a bulging belly and a circle foot, a narrow bottom, a beast's head and ears, and a hook outside. The edge of the mouth is decorated with a belt-shaped ring-column horned beast face pattern. The beast face is divided by the tiger's head with a high relief in the center, and it is symmetrical on the left and right. The horns of the ring-column horned beast face pattern are half-ringed, and a short column is connected to the forehead top in the middle.

The face patterns of ring-pillar horned animals were first seen in the early Shang Dynasty, but decreased in the middle Shang Dynasty, and became popular again in the late Shang Dynasty, especially in the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty.

The body is formed by clouds and thunder patterns on both sides of the animal's face, with fine fins arranged on the upper part. The abdomen is light, with a high circle around the foot, and four short halberds are formed. They are used as the base of the nose to decorate the four ring-column-shaped animal's face patterns.

The entire leather case is shiny and very elegant.

Xia Yu and Bai Yujiao communicated and identified it as the early Western Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, the price of this bronze gui is also a little more expensive.

One million Hong Kong dollars.

Xia Yu wanted all these bronze ware. He also told Bai Gaoze about it, praised him for his gaze as if he was so angry, and helped him find bronze ware, which were all good treasures.

Bai Gaoze responded with a smile, "I won't get it back if it's not the authentic one. Ayu is also a busy person. It's not good to waste everyone's time."

"It makes my grandfather more troublesome. In the future, if there are bronze ware, I will ask my grandfather to pay more attention to me." Xia Yu said.

Then he didn't delay and directly transferred four million Hong Kong dollars to Bai Gaoze, adding the commission he gave him 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Bai Gaoze didn't refuse, just do things according to industry rules.

Because even Bai Yujiao and Bai Gaorui also received commissions from intermediaries, Xia Yu never let them help in vain.

This is also one of the important factors that everyone likes to work with Xia Yu. As long as the transaction is successful, everyone will make money.

The place where Xia Yu spent the most money was collecting bronze ware.

After the transaction was completed, Bai Yujiao also said that the antique market in Port City is indeed much looser than that in the mainland.

you do not say!

The bronze ware transactions in the mainland have to be carried out secretly.

The bronze ware that can be auctioned in the mainland was unearthed a long time ago.

In addition, things like ivory, coral, rhinoceros horn that Xia Yu got back last time can also be traded freely.

He also entrusted Bai Gaoze to take action on these things and then shared the accounts together.

As for the Qing Dynasty folk kiln porcelain he brought this time, they were all the same batch as before. Bai Gaoze only needed to count the number.

He said that the general quality of Yuan blue and white porcelain will not arrive in a while.

By then, not only Izumo Xuan from Bai Takaze, he would also get some back to Yuhai, but also let Bai Yujiao's family Yuxiangzhai help him take action as before.

Bai Gaoze was so happy that he said yes, and sighed, "A Yu is still amazing, and he can get so many good babies! Grandpa Xiaojiao and I both entrusted A Yu with the blessings. I feel that I will never live in vain in this life."

"Grandpa is too much!" Xia Yu was still a little modest and said that he had no time to deal with people from the antique industry, so he asked to help and collect bronze ware later.

In short, for him, the more bronzes are, the better. It is OK to exchange for other cultural relics he took out!

That afternoon, several people were talking about antique shops in their study.

Bai Gaoze was also confident that he could collect more bronzes, and the effect of "buying horse bones for a thousand gold" has been spread.

And he believed, "When Ayu's next batch of Yuan blue and white porcelain arrives, the effect will definitely be better if Yuan blue and white porcelain is replaced with bronze ware!"

Bai Yujiao also nodded straight, "I agree with my grandfather's opinion. Nowadays, many collectors are reluctant to sell the collections in their hands. But if they encounter something they like, they are still willing to communicate."

Bai Gaoze smiled and said, "If a bronze ware was replaced with another Yuan blue and white, many collectors would be willing. After all, the number of bronze ware on the market is much larger than that of Yuan blue and white!"

Xia Yu doesn’t have to worry about losing money, because for him, bronze ware is the most urgent need!

Collect more bronzes, upgrade space and his own abilities, this is the most important thing.

As Bai Gaoze said, the too expensive Yuan blue and white porcelain should be sold alone. Unless it is really rare, it can also sell several hundred million bronze ware.

At 5:30 pm, Xia Yu and Bai Yujiao said goodbye first and brought all the bronze ware they collected this time.

Bai Hanfei and his wife and Bai Haoxuan will not come back after seven o'clock, so they will start dinner at 7 o'clock.

If Xia Yu was alone here, grandma would definitely have to go over and help cook.

But this time Xia Xue and Chen Wenxiu and others are preparing dinner at home, so there is no need to bother her.

Bai Yu's petite mouth was like smearing honey and said to his grandmother, "Grandpa and grandma will come to the house to have dinner with uncles and aunts. Xiaoxue and her friends have a very good cooking skills. The seafood they eat tonight was brought back by my husband from Malaysia. They are all wild. We have already tasted it and it is very delicious."

Grandma smiled kindly and nodded and said yes, "The seafood Ayu brought back is incomparable to the seafood on the market. Haoxuan, who usually doesn't have home, just know that Ayu treats to dinner, will come back whatever he says."

This time Xia Yu treats them to the table, they must give face.

Xia Yu also said that he often came to his grandma's house for free and was invited to eat, but he basically didn't go out for dinner, so he just ate some home-cooked meals.
