Chapter 49 The Story of Junk Alley No. 3: The Golden Lacquer Statue of Wei Tuo in the Shen Shaoan Style

Generally speaking, in the thrift alley, the relationship between people is relatively indifferent: the relationship between buying and selling cannot be separated.Naturally, there is also a class of people who enjoy shopping in junk alleys. This kind of people can squat in front of a stall for a long time. Don't even ask.For that kind of person, the stall owner naturally does not welcome this kind of person, which is also one of the reasons for the indifference of interpersonal relationships: who knows what kind of person is the person who stops in front of the stall, it is better to sit on the sidelines for a while before talking, do not have to wave hurriedly, talk too much Yes, the stomach will be in the wind!

But today's situation is a bit different. Ever since a yellowed curtain was torn apart at a stall in the alley, revealing the bodiless golden lacquered statue of Bodhisattva Wei Tuo, people who know the goods immediately shouted: Shen Shaoan This is Shen Shaoan's work! The listener stretched his neck again and asked: Do you have money? The person who asked not only looked nervous, but also snorted and swallowed a mouthful of saliva after asking.The person being questioned is naturally the owner of the stall, with an air of indifference, and the stall owner did not wait until the person who asked the question three times in a row (and swallowed three mouthfuls of saliva) and there were at least ten people gathered around the stall. The voice: put things there, you can't see it yourself!

The person who asked was a little flattered. He rubbed his hands together, but he didn't feel it was enough, so he rubbed his body vigorously again. Then he took a breath, took a half step forward, and kept his chest up and belly down, pressing his hands towards the statue. The statue of Wei Tuo, who is about the same height as him, poses in the posture of pulling up the mountain and surpassing the world, and lifts it upwards with all his strength. It didn't matter what he did, it caused a lot of laughter from the side, some not only laughed, but also sarcastically said: Sir, do you think this is a bronze statue?This is the real Fuzhou bodiless gold lacquer. Although someone is so tall, it is very light when weighed!

Holding up the lacquer portrait, his face was flushed, and he was a little impatient. At this time, there were more onlookers, and the atmosphere was noisy, which was different from the indifference of the past.He glared: Of course I know, this image was made by Shen Shaoan, so I have to be serious about it! Who is Shen Shaoan, his name is by no means obvious, and he is not interested in Fujian's unique handicrafts, bodiless lacquer ware, human and animal statues, and he may never hear such a name in his life (even if he has, most of them have the same name and surname. , not that Shen Shaoan).As for those who collect bodiless lacquerware, everyone knows his name. He is a master craftsman of lacquerware, and his works are uncanny and rare.Rare things are precious, and the lacquerware signed by Shen Shaoan is naturally not ordinary lacquerware!And a large work like this statue of Wei Tuo is extremely rare.A few connoisseurs among the crowd were whispering, how could such a high-quality product end up in the junk alley?

The person holding the portrait of Wei Tuo was trying to find Shen Shaoan's signature on the portrait at this time, his action caused another burst of laughter, which made him blush even more.An old man shook his head and sighed: This old man, the portrait of Shen Shaoan, the money is on the toes, so there is no need to look everywhere? The laughter sounded like sharp needles, piercing the man, the man didn't look at the feet of Bodhisattva Wei Tuo, but looked at the old man, cursed first, and said: You know!Why bother to look at the money, look at this production, who can make it except the master craftsman Shen Shaoan!

He said, with an excited expression, shaking the lacquer statue vigorously. As someone said just now, bodiless lacquerware is extremely light. A lacquer statue that is about the same height as a real person will weigh less than five catties and can be held in the hand. Shake it disrespectfully. When the man was shaking the painted statue, everyone suddenly fell silent. Not only did no one whisper to each other, but no one laughed, because everyone could hear that when the painted statue was shaken, there was a strange sound, Toto Hold on, it's clearly the inside of the lacquer statue, something is hidden, and when it is shaken, it makes the sound of bumping and bumping.

Everyone knows that bodiless lacquer is hollow in the middle, but there is something in the middle that makes a sound when shaken, which is unheard of! After a moment of silence, the person holding the lacquer portrait cast a very surprised questioning look at the stall owner, but the stall owner squinted his eyes with an expression of indifference, which prevented the man from getting off the stage, and he shook heavily again. After a few clicks, the sound of Toto came out again. He put down the painted statue and asked, "How much is it?" The owner of the stall cheered up a little, but then he showed a look of disdain: the price is 30,000 yuan.

The man swallowed again, took a step back, didn't even touch the painted portrait, blushed, and wanted to strike up a conversation, but no one paid attention to him, so he ran away with his head in his arms. The old man who had spoken just now came forward: I want it! I can't see a bad old man. He really has a huge sum of money. He unambiguously took out a large stack of banknotes and counted them out one by one.After counting enough, put the rest of the money back into the bag and pick up the painted statue.The stall owner looked respectful: old man, to be honest, the picture is not signed by Shen Shaoan, but it is really well made!

The old man smiled: Yes, but you can't find it! The stall owner was stunned: I looked for it carefully, where is it? The old man shook the painted statue and made a rattling sound: Inside, Shen Shaoan’s world-famous Tianhuang seal is inside, brother, that piece of Tianhuang alone is more than ten times the price The old man said: he walked away on his own. The stall owner was stunned for a while, then smiled wryly: Who knows if it is, and it can't be broken to see! People who came and went, for a while, were still talking about what happened just now.
