Repairer - #34 - Chapter 34: Late Ming Dynasty Huanghuali High Relief Pen Holder with Eight Love Patterns

  Chapter 34 Late Ming Dynasty Huanghuali high-relief pen holder with eight love patterns

   From taking down these broken pieces of porcelain to repairing them, it took Su Xiaofan an hour of time.

He looked at his phone, it was not even eleven o’clock, Su Xiaofan was not in a hurry to find Zhao Zhengshan, but mixed into the crowd again, stayed in the antique market for several years, walking on such a street, Su Xiaofan has the ability to feel like a fish in water Feel.

  Compared with the antique market in Luochuan, the antique market in Yanjing obviously has more complete goods, and even the real items on the street stalls are quite a lot. Su Xiaofan even saw several fine art objects.

   It’s just that all the stall owners are very sophisticated, Su Xiaofan asked the prices of a few items, and they all found nothing to miss.

   But this is already much better than the Luochuan Antique Market. On the stalls there, there are basically no real things, just modern handicrafts.

   “Huh?” Su Xiaofan wandered to a booth and stood still.

   This is a stall selling antiques and miscellaneous items. The most eye-catching ones are several bronze wares. Among them, a set of bronze chimes looks simple and simple, and there is also a bronze sword with no obvious rust on it, but the bronze texture can be discerned.

  There are also some miscellaneous objects of cultural and entertainment, scattered in the corner of the booth. The main focus of this booth should be those bronze wares.

   “Boss, the sale of bronze cultural relics is strictly prohibited in our country.”

  Su Xiaofan sat on the ponytail in front of the booth, and chatted with the stall owner who seemed to be in his forties.

   “Yes, but the bronzes I sell are different.”

The boss glanced at Su Xiaofan, maybe he was bored and didn’t care about Su Xiaofan’s age, and said immediately: “Bronze wares that are not allowed to be sold in our country are unearthed cultural relics from before the Han Dynasty, and there are no objects from before the Han Dynasty on my stall. “

   “Looking at the chime bell, it was actually imitated during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor wanted to restore the bronze craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty and imitated it. Look, it still has the words Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty.”

   “This bronze sword, in fact, is from the Song Dynasty. It is not the main weapon for combat, but a decorative weapon for the guards around the emperor.

  Look at how beautifully it is made, I will give you another sword stand for this thing, put it in the study at home, not to mention how handsome it is. “

The boss is very eloquent, and he can talk endlessly when he introduces the items on the booth. The key is that what he said is straightforward, and he clearly introduced the ins and outs of several bronze wares, and at the same time circumvented the regulations that bronze wares cannot be traded. .

   “The price of my collection is not high, and the auction is troublesome. If you want it, I can give you a real price.”

  After bragging about something, it’s time to start selling it. It’s a waste of words to just say it’s not for sale.

   “How much are two pieces?” Su Xiaofan asked with a suppressed smile, the sportswear he was wearing today was not worth five hundred yuan, and he didn’t look like a handsome man.

  The owner of Yanjing’s stall needs to practice his professional skills, at least his eyesight is not enough, so he can’t find the target customers accurately.

   “Two pieces of thirty thousand you take away.”

  The boss said: “To tell you the truth, I am just a child who needs money urgently for school. Otherwise, these are good things to keep as family heirlooms, and I usually don’t show them.”

   “Okay, big brother, I won’t hide it from you. If you keep this thing for a few hundred years, it can indeed be passed down to the family. Now… let’s forget it.”

  Su Xiaofan shook his head and said: “It stands to reason that I shouldn’t expose your shortcomings, but these few bronze wares of yours have something to do with me.”

   “My bronze vessel has something to do with you? Boy, what do you say?”

  Hearing what Su Xiaofan said, the stall owner was stunned.

   “Your bronze wares are all from Sujia Village, Luochuan.”

  Su Xiaofan said with a smile: “My surname is Su, do you think these objects have anything to do with me?”

   “Huh? Are you from Sujia Village?”

  The stall owner was a little dumbfounded. He didn’t know where the goods on his own stall came from.

   “That’s right, boss, everything we make is stamped.”

  Su Xiaofan picked up the bronze sword, tapped a spot on the handle, and said, “Here, you can see it with a fluorescent light. Shall I borrow a money detector?”

   “Don’t, you are an expert at first glance, haha, let alone, the things in your Sujia Village are really good.”

  Hearing Su Xiaofan’s words, the boss immediately burst into laughter.

   “The rules in our Sujia Village are pretty good, boss, you should know.” Although Su Xiaofan had a smile on his face, his words were a bit cold.

   “Hey, isn’t this asking for a living, little brother, don’t be an example, don’t be an example!

  And my price is not too high, the craftsmanship of the bronzes in our Sujia Village is worth this price…”

  The stall owner took a bottle of drink, stuffed it into Su Xiaofan’s hand, and said, “Brother, it’s not easy, just let it go as you see.”

   It wasn’t that the stall owner wanted to lower his profile so much, it was because he knew the rules of Sujia Village. If Sujia Village knew about this, it might cut off his supply of goods and terminate the cooperation.

   As he said, the bronze wares in Sujia Village are well-made and can be sold at a high price. As long as one or two pieces are sold every month, he can make a lot of money. The boss is reluctant to use this channel.

   “The bronze ware business in Sujia Village has really grown.”

  Seeing the anxious look of the boss, Su Xiaofan realized how big their business in Sujia Village was.

  Actually, Su Xiaofan walked all the way just now, and saw bronze wares from Sujia Village in several stalls. The reason why he didn’t stop was because there were no items he wanted in those stalls.

   But at this booth, Su Xiaofan saw something nice. He pointed out the source of the other party’s bronze wares, and it was actually for the convenience of himself to lower the price.

   “Forget it, boss, you just need to pay more attention in the future. I am easy to talk, but if I encounter someone who is not good at talking, maybe I really won’t buy it for you.”

  Su Xiaofan was just trying to scare him. In fact, although Sujia Village has this rule, there are so many people from all over the world who go to buy goods, how can they supervise them one by one.

  Besides, what the boss did is not too much. The purchase of the set of chime clocks also costs three to four thousand yuan, plus more than one thousand yuan for the bronze sword. He earns seven or eight times the profit, which is not so bad.

   “Hey, thank you brother, look at my booth, if there is anything that catches your eye, play with it.”

  The stall owner is on the road. Anyway, the items on his stall, except for the bronzes, are more expensive, and the rest are cheap goods, and the purchase price does not exceed one hundred yuan.

   “Don’t tell me, boss, of course I have to give money when I buy things.”

  Su Xiaofan reached out and picked up a black pen container. The bottom of this pen container was a little burnt black, as if it had been burned by fire, it looked very inconspicuous.

   “Boss, is this African rosewood? The workmanship is exquisite, but the bottom is missing. I’ll take it for 150 yuan.”

   “Why don’t you say you are an expert.”

  The boss raised his thumb and said, “One hundred and five, I won’t bargain anymore, you can take it.”

   This pen holder is one of the batch of goods that the former boss picked up friends from, and it was sold to him. The cost is only a few tens of dollars.

  Because it was burned, the condition is not very good. This pen holder has been thrown on the stall and has not been sold. Now someone is willing to ask for it, and the price is higher than what he charged, so naturally he is willing to sell it.

   “Okay, boss, the money has been paid, see you later.”

  Su Xiaofan quickly took out his mobile phone to pay, asked the boss for a bag to put a pen holder, said hello and left.

  Walking on the Antique Street, the corner of Su Xiaofan’s mouth curved upwards.

  If Su Xiaofan repaired the Dingyao engraved brush washer out of nothing, then this pen holder can be regarded as a missed one.

  【Repair value: 6 points! 】

  【Late Ming Dynasty huanghuali high-relief pen holder with eight love patterns: broken, can be repaired, need to deduct 1 point of repair value, whether to repair it? 】

   “Hey, even if this thing is not repaired, even if the quality is a little bit worse, it is a big leak!”

Su Xiaofan is really happy in his heart at the moment, the huanghuali pen holder from tomorrow night has a history of hundreds of years, the material is good, and the history is long, if the bottom of this thing is not burnt by a fire, it can be auctioned up.

   “Repair!” Holding the pen holder, Su Xiaofan secretly thought in his heart, objects from the Ming Dynasty are worth spending a little repair value.

  【Repair value: 5 points! 】

  【Late Ming Dynasty Huanghuali high-relief pen holder with eight love patterns: irreparable! 】

  Looking at the information in his mind, Su Xiaofan found that the scorched black piece at the bottom of the pen holder in his hand had disappeared, and the whole pen holder was integrated into a circle, without any damage.

  But I don’t know if it’s because it hasn’t been wiped for a long time. The overall color of this old pen holder is still dark in China. If Su Xiaofan didn’t know its age from the repair value, he might think it is a modern red sandalwood work.

   “These two items are almost enough, we can’t continue shopping.”

   It’s cool to use the repair value, but Su Xiaofan feels a little distressed when it’s used up.

  Before coming to Yanjing, Su Xiaofan who absorbed the Yin Sha Stone had a total of thirteen repair points.

It took six points to repair the Moyu Buddha for my sister, and a little bit for the Song Dingyao brush wash, plus the pen holder, a total of eight points were used. Where can I find the Yin Sha Stone?

   “Repairing a magic weapon costs more repair points than repairing an antique. It seems that a magic weapon is more valuable.”

Su Xiaofan pondered the rules of using the repair value, the brush wash was broken into seven or eight pieces, and it only took a little to restore, and the restoration of a magic weapon in good condition needs to start at least three points, so it can be seen that from the value point of view, antiques are Not as good as magic instruments.

  Looking at the time, it was almost twelve o’clock at noon, and when it was time for dinner, Su Xiaofan didn’t continue to go shopping, but found Zhao Zhengshan.

   “Uncle Zhao, how’s the harvest?” It’s much easier to find someone than to find something. After a while, Su Xiaofan found Zhao Zhengshan who was squatting in front of a booth.

   “Xiao Su, you have gained a lot.”

  Looking at the things Su Xiaofan was carrying, Zhao Zhengshan couldn’t help laughing, raised a bag in his right hand, and said: “I also have something to gain, let’s go, let’s compare it somewhere.”
