Chapter 1216: The real treasure house!
After leading them into the cellar, a cool breath came.
But although there are some people here, it is not humid.
On both sides of the cellar, there are charcoal.
Charcoal can absorb water, so every once in a while, Jianghua would go back to his ancestral home to stay for a few days and burn the charcoal.
To others, he is just a villager who has moved away. He only comes back to visit from time to time because he misses his father.
Very well hidden.
When I first walked in, I noticed that this small house was made of green bricks and tiles, and was in a simple style.
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary house.
It’s not even as good as the bungalows at the entrance of the village, so it’s really easy to be overlooked.
And you can’t tell from the outside that it has been transformed inside.
The three of them walked in. There were some shelves inside, and indeed some cultural relics were placed on them.
The one closest to them is a blue and white poetry vase!
"Are you interested in taking a look?" Jiang Hua asked Lin Ran with a smile.
"En." Lin Ran nodded.
"It's best not to leave fingerprints." Jiang Hua handed a transparent glove to Lin Ran.
Of course, his words were mainly meant for Wu Ning.
Lin Ran is a very experienced treasure appraiser and would never make such a stupid mistake.
Lin Ran picked up the bottle and looked at it carefully.
The neck is tied up and the shoulders are plumped, and the white glaze inside is white and tight.
From a distance, she looks like a beautiful lady.
Bottles of this kind of quality are usually relatively high-end.
Lin Ran noticed Tong Ping because he saw poems on Tong Ping's body, which made him look full of literary talent.
Wu Ning couldn't quite understand. He believed in Lin Ran's vision, so he followed him and stepped forward to watch.
He still paid attention to the rules. Since he believed in Lin Ran, he was not in a hurry.
Lin Ran looked at it carefully and nodded slightly: "This blue and white multicolored vase should be a work from the Shunzhi period. It is indeed rare to see."
"As expected of Brother Lin, he can tell the year so quickly." Jiang Hua clasped his fists, he really admired Lin Ran.
No wonder he was able to bring out the Lotus Dzi Beads when they first met.
Yang Jianlong lost to him not because Yang Jianlong was ignorant but because he really met his opponent.
He remembered very clearly that that day Yang Jianlong took Wu You to Panjiayuan to pick up treasures. At that time, he thought it was strange that Wu You, who was also a famous treasure appraiser in the capital, would lose to an unknown child.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid I would still lose even if I were present.
Jiang Hua had just recovered from a serious illness and felt a little uncomfortable, so he said to them: "You can see for yourselves."
He sat on a wooden bench next to him and looked at Lin Ran with a smile.
He was still thinking in his mind, it would be great if his granddaughter or granddaughter could marry Lin Ran. The glory of his family would definitely be passed on.
Some time ago, the always arrogant granddaughter Jiang Li praised Lin Ran, saying that he had great vision.
You must know that even when facing herself, Jiang Li would not admit defeat, and it was even less likely that she would praise herself.
It can be seen that what Lin Ran did made her admire her. This was the first time she had seen him in 20 years.
He also knew about the relationship between Lin Ran and Yuan Qianyun, but it was not impossible.
If he could bring Lin Ran and Jiang Li together, he would feel it was completely worth it even if he gave up the store to someone else.
But Lin Ran didn't know what he was thinking.
I just feel that there is indeed something in Jianghua’s treasure house and the collection inside.
I looked at a few pieces at random, and they were all collected by nobles or royal families before the Qing Dynasty.
For example, he is holding a jade dancer in his hand.
This is no ordinary white jade, the inside has been turned red.
In this case, the only possibility is that the white jade dancer was actually dug out of the tomb.
The dancer is bending over and fluttering her sleeves, showing her dancing posture vividly.
The body is graceful and the shape is beautiful.
Judging from the costume, she should be a dancing girl from the Han Dynasty.
The only drawback is that it is only five centimeters high.
But the smaller the object, the more it tests the sculptor’s strength.
Able to carve small jade lifelike and show interest, Lin Ran estimated that this thing could be sold at least two to three thousand in an auction house.
It sounds funny, but this is the current consumption level in the mainland.
He also wanted to auction it for tens of millions, but conditions did not allow it.
If you keep it yourself and resell it in a few years, you can make a lot of money.
But the most important thing for him when he came here this time was to prepare items for next week's sale. If this jade dancer was sold for 2000 yuan, he would feel heartbroken.
So, put the jade down.
Seeing the change in Lin Ran's expression, Jiang Hua couldn't help but curiously asked: "Brother Lin, don't the jade dancers of the Han Dynasty suit your wishes?"
"Oh, this was dug out of a tomb. It would be unlucky to place it at home. It is only suitable to be placed in a museum, not for auction." Lin Ran did not hide anything from Jiang Hua and said, "Brother Jiang, actually I am here this time. , I just want to pick two items that can go directly to the auction.”
White jade from the Han Dynasty was put up for auction and only lost money.
As expected, Jiang Hua said: "It turns out that Brother Lin saw its price. Yes, I actually bought it from another antique shop for 1000 yuan."
When I bought the Arhat statue from Lin Ran, I only spent 600 yuan.
Jiang Hua is also a decisive person. After taking a fancy to something, he will take action no matter how high the price is.
His purpose should be the same as his own, just to keep it, not necessarily to take action.
But now, in order to express his gratitude, he was willing to share it with the two of them.
Wu Ning, who was standing by, was stunned. He had no idea what was happening, but from the tone of the conversation between the two, he could tell that most of the cultural relics were worth more than a thousand.
They used to be able to achieve such high prices in the secret auction business.
Mainly because their customers are foreigners. The current situation is that foreigners are richer than mainlanders. Moreover, they have also coveted Chinese civilization for a long time. The state or consortium pays to send them to China to purchase cultural relics.
As long as the funds can support it, they can offer higher prices than locals.
This is why Qian Dahai wants the secret shooting business to continue.
Unexpectedly, any item here can be sold for thousands of dollars in an antique store.
When you get to the auction house, it's not just as simple as giving it directly to your family.
Jiang Hua did not refuse, but stood up.
He also wanted to see what method Lin Ran used for identification.
Lin Ran Jianghua seems to have a special preference for ceramics. Among the collections, ceramics are expensive.
From the Hongwu glazed red plum vase of the Ming Dynasty to the Kangxi flower and bird pastel gold bowl of the Qing Dynasty, there is everything you need.
When Wu Ning heard Lin Ran read out the names of these two pieces of porcelain, he felt something unusual.
If Lin Ran didn't want them, he would have just taken away both cultural relics.
Jiang Hua was really wealthy and really took out his treasures for them to choose.
