Chapter 170
Some of it is incomprehensible.
"Good things are always expensive. Even fine porcelain is worth a fortune nowadays. If you can't make it, it's probably because your craftsmanship isn't good enough."
Several kiln workers looked at each other with a sneer on their lips. They thought the boss was talking nonsense. It would never be their turn to make money. The boss would get the good porcelain.
……
"Young man, look at these calligraphy and paintings here, they are absolutely great things. Look at this..." The owner of the home furnishing store pulled Qi Cheng to the innermost part.
"I'm not one of those old people. Is there anything more popular here?" If there were any good things in here, Qi Cheng felt that the sun would rise from the west.
"This has nothing to do with the old man. I'm an antique enthusiast and I have some good stuff on hand."
According to the boss, he is quite famous in the antique circle, and the reason why he opened such a home furnishing store here is to be able to communicate with enthusiasts.
He looked at Qi Cheng's gentle face and felt that he must be interested in these things.
"I have all kinds of good stuff here, like the jade from the southwest. I have a set of high-quality ice-grade ornaments here. They are the treasures of my shop. Would you like to take a look?"
"Are you not interested in jade? I have a picture of a horse here, which should be in the Forbidden City..."
Qi Cheng was certain that this boss must be the legendary National Treasure Gang. He said, "I have one for every item from the Forbidden City, and mine is even better than the ones in the Forbidden City."
……
Hearing that there were things from the Forbidden City, Kangxi looked up, but he quickly shook his head. This thing was too crude.
There is no way there could be something so crude in the Forbidden City.
"I don't want these things..."
"It's very cheap. Just make 19999."
Tang Dynasty
Li Shimin didn't care about any of the things in the store. There were many good things in the palace now, and he hoped to exchange them with the host.
Unfortunately, this is a bit delusional.
There was no sign of anything on the sky screen.
"Father, things from our Great Tang Dynasty should be very valuable in the future," Li Chengqian asked in a low voice. "They should be more expensive than the things that appeared on the sky curtain."
"Well, that's for sure!"
"Then why didn't this person mention anything from the Tang Dynasty? I think the porcelain here is pretty good, and there are some famous calligraphers here."
Li Shimin thought about it and felt that it might be too precious. Even the shop owner felt that he should not have it, although this person seemed to be too boastful.
If he keeps on bragging, even the Forbidden City will be his.
……
Qi Cheng finally got rid of the National Treasure Gang boss and came to a shop next door, which mainly sold some simple oil paintings.
There are also some glass pieces with nice shapes.
Coming to the oil paintings, the first things you see are several paintings of girls and water jugs. These paintings are quite subtle and do not contain the legendary nudes.
They are all wearing clothes.
Next are a few that look more abstract, like a few feathers of some unknown kind stacked together.
Qi Cheng was still watching carefully, but the situation outside was about to get out of hand.
"This... How could such a painting appear in public? Which scholar painted this? Does he still have the integrity of a scholar?"
"The anchor is dirty! How can he read this kind of painting?"
"Will the government of later generations not care? Anyone who sells this kind of painting should be exiled!"
However, a bookstore owner's eyes flickered. He also had similar books in his store. At the same time, he secretly wondered whether he should ask a few down-and-out painters to paint a few similar pictures.
But it looks a little different from the paintings at this time.
"The technique is indeed a little different, and it looks a little more realistic than our paintings, but it's not impossible to draw it with careful study."
"I heard that some foreign paintings have been brought in from the coastal areas. You can go buy a few. But even if you can paint them, who are you going to sell them to?"
