Chapter 0027 – Three Rivers Liu

Boss Song pondered for a moment, spoke up and said, “If the caddisfly gourd is said to be inherited, the time is not long, the early caddisfly gourd appeared, is in the Qing Dynasty during the Kangxi period of time, by the local officials tribute to the palace, for the princes and nobles to play with and enjoy, that would be called the official mold.”

“The heyday of the caddis gourd is also between the Kang and Qian Dynasties, with more and more people enjoying, manufacturing caddis gourd actually got vigorously developed, and then it was introduced to the folk. And the civil Fan made gourd of the pioneers of the first three river Liu its people, his representative works like a high body of the monk head, short body of the monk head, smack stick, mouth gourd and so on, doubly respected by future generations, its value has been more than the official molds, in the salty feng years, many of the nobles in the palace and the eunuchs, playing the three river Liu’s gourd, see the works of the three river Liu regardless of whether it was at that time or in the modern era are hard to come by to find, play the miscellaneous Collectors, but dream of having a three rivers Liu gourd ah! Zhuang brother your luck is too good.”

Zhuang Rui smiled, did not interface, he knew what he said at this time others will think he is pretentious, simply a hundred words as a silence.

“People’s living standards have improved over the years, many people’s homes in addition to raising flowers and plants, in the New Year’s Eve can also be transmitted to the call of the caddisflies, which is also not lost as a pleasure, not to mention that, on the inside of our market, there are at least one hundred and eighty people with caddisflies, now Tianjin winter caddisflies people, are more than the summer, who can be summer and fall caddisflies to the spring festival, who Whoever can keep summer and fall caddis until the Spring Festival is a ‘big player’. The price of caddisfly gourds is also high, but like Sanhe Liu such a fine product, it is priced without a market ah!”

The side of the Wang boss followed the words of the Song boss said, did not hide the envy of the face, for collectors like them, the price of the thing is only one aspect, the more important thing is that a certain type of object is too rare, and often not money can be bought.

In fact, Wang Song two people did not say is that with the increase in the number of people playing caddisflies, caddisfly artificial breeding has flourished to become an industry, so in the Spring Festival, Beijing and Tianjin and around many families to raise caddisflies has become a scene, which also expresses the urban population of the idyllic life of the aspirations of the urban population, and there are years of fine caddisfly gourds naturally rise, even some people who do not play the collection, but also for some good! caddisfly gourds are fond of.

“Hey, I say two brothers, this has been said for half a day, how much is this thing worth?”

Liu Chuan, who had pricked up his ears on the side and listened for half a day, still didn’t figure out the price of this gourd, and couldn’t help but open his mouth to ask.

Lv old man sniffing exasperatedly said: “your kid is concerned about the price, to know, this thing has not appeared for years, I still only saw one forty years ago, you have money can not buy.”

Seeing Liu Chuan still look confused, Boss Song explained, “According to the market, Sanhe Liu’s gourd is about between 50 to 100 thousand, but now there are more people playing with caddisflies, the price is still going up, after a few years it’s hard to say.”

“Oh, is not worth a few tens of thousands of dollars well, give a quick word is not finished, you this old man is really nagging, right, Uncle Lu, Master Lu, how did you yesterday only to Daxiong that boy out of a hundred ah? If you pay more money, you can buy it first.”

Liu Chuan finally understand the price of this object, heard just a few tens of thousands of dollars, he did not care very much, not only him, this store, in addition to Zhuang Rui, who will not put this money in the eyes, but the market price does not fully represent the value of the antique, Liu Chuan will not understand, if you really meet with a favorite object, out of the hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy down is also normal, as the saying goes: thousands of gold can not buy me like, is this reason. This is the truth.

Liu Chuan’s words seem to poke to the pain of the old man Lu, the old man angry eyebrows are erected, pointing at Liu Chuan scolded: “Your kid to me to get out of the calf, I open a hundred dollars, that is to pick up leaks, you know, that the test is the eye, do is business, enjoy the fun, you brats have no cure, and in the future it is to sell the dog, raise cats, right? ”

Next to the two bosses of Song Wang is also thought deeply nodded his head, the fun of collecting also lies in the process, when you succeed in picking up the leaks after the inner sense of satisfaction, is the line of outsiders can not be felt.

“Not just did not pick up the leak, was my brother robbed first well, what fire ah!” Liu Chuan muttered resentfully.

“Brother Zhuang, this grasshopper gourd’s inheritance origin is also clear to you, I wonder if there is still any intention to make a bid?”

Seeing that the scene was a bit awkward, Boss Song opened his mouth and said to Zhuang Rui.

Zhuang Rui at this moment is also in the heart of the thought, this period of time spending is not small, the hands of the money left a few tens of thousands, in case they encountered what good things they may not have enough money to collect, anyway, this gourd inside the spiritual qi has been absorbed by their own, might as well put it to sell it!

Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui opened his mouth and said, “I bought this caddisfly gourd, in fact, I just want to raise the caddisflies inside, but I didn’t realize that this gourd is a piece of treasure, if Brother Song likes it, I’ll let you have it, but I want to stay with the caddisflies inside.”

“Hey, Xiao Song, this thing but I saw yesterday, you will not and my old man rob it! You know, I am playing miscellaneous items, this object I have been looking for a long time.” Hearing that Zhuang Rui was interested in offering this grasshopper gourd, old man Lu couldn’t sit still.

“Hey, old man, this time you let me! You old family’s good objects are almost unable to put, but also with us these juniors to grab what ah! Xiao Zhuang, I’ll offer sixty thousand dollars for this gourd.” Although Song Jun was respectful to the old man, he didn’t let up in his words, and even shouted out the price.

“I’ll offer seventy thousand dollars!”

Has not been beside much to say Wang boss actually also shouted the price, it is not that they are in each other to tear down, just three river Liu’s caddisfly gourd is indeed rare, and this one is whether from the quality, pulp, skeletonization of the core, sound reeds, all belong to the three river Liu’s fine works, if you don’t buy it, after today’s store, may be this life can’t be encountered in this village.

Although the old man Lu gas blowing his beard and eyes, but there is no way, as the saying goes, shopping malls such as the battlefield, play collection of people encountered a favorite object, but also will not easily let go, some collectors in order to get the favorite things, and even a few years as one day to grind the seller, which will be no one will pay attention to the respect for the old and love the young.

“Eighty thousand, Xiao Zhuang, I additionally send you a caddis gourd of the Republic of China period, although not expensive, also worth a three or five thousand, you see how?”

Lv shopkeeper’s is also not willing to show weakness, opened his mouth and added 10,000, in fact, from the market value of this gourd, if the players private exchanges, 80,000 should be considered a high price, of course, if after some publicity, and then enter the auction house for auction, then the price is impossible to say.

After hearing the offer of Lv shopkeeper, Song Wang two bosses some hesitation, the reason why they want to collect this three rivers Liu’s gourd, one is really like the heart, in addition, this is also a curiosity, maybe when the north side of the prevalence of playing caddisflies bosses see, is also able to make a fortune, but eighty thousand this price, the profit margin is very small, if the price is raised again, then, they have to bear a certain amount of risk, more importantly, they are not specialized in playing caddisflies. More importantly, they do not specialize in playing miscellaneous items, if the price is raised again, it is a bit of malicious competition flavor.

The two looked at each other, slowly shook his head, no competitors, although the old man Lu took the gourd, but the heart is also bitter, this object is originally he first encountered, if it is not yesterday to take the strength, want to dry out the gourd of the original owner, this thing has long been his bag, a day’s time, the price doubled nearly hundreds of times, how can he be happy it!

“I’ll offer one hundred and fifty thousand ……”

Just when Zhuang Rui was ready to agree to this deal, Qin Xuan Bing’s clear and cold voice rang out.
