Chapter 49: Doing Old (Part 1)

If you want to say that Xie Xuan is really a person who eats this industry, his mind becomes active after hearing Qin Feng's explanation.

Although Xie Xuan didn't talk much when he followed Qin Feng, when Qin Feng was bargaining with the shop owners, Xie Xuan occasionally interjected a sentence, and he could even say it to the point.

"Brother Feng, I really didn't see that there are many tricks here."

As the saying goes, an expert looks at the tricks, and an outsider watches the fun. With Qin Feng introductory, Xie Xuan also figured out some of the taste. He no longer felt that visiting an antique shop was a chore.

"The knowledge is still deep."

Qin Feng laughed when he heard this. In fact, while he was wandering around this morning, he was also turning the theory in his mind into practice? When he was learning these things, he did not have the conditions like this now.

"By the way, Brother Feng, what do you want to buy?"

Seeing that Qin Feng seemed to be in a good mood, Xie Xuan asked boldly. After spending a long time on the tour, Qin Feng only spent thirty or fifty yuan, but his verbal effort was spent a lot.

"Let's take a look first and get familiar with the market conditions!"

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Although Shi City is good, it is located in the hinterland of North China and relies on the important areas of Beijing and Tianjin. It does not have a certain foundation and is difficult to develop. Let's make some money and leave here!"

"Sheng, Brother Feng, I'll listen to you."

Xie Xuan nodded. If his parents heard this, they would be so angry that they would not leave even if their parents beg him. Qin Feng would follow in a word.

Qin Feng spent the whole day hanging out on Baifo Street, but apart from buying those few orgasms, he never bought anything.

In the evening, the three brothers ate a bowl of ramen on the roadside. When Qin Feng passed by the vegetable market, he drank some lard at the pork stall, and the three of them returned to Xie Xuan's house where he was "limited to the house".

"Brother Feng, what are you doing?"

Seeing Qin Feng apply lard on the so-called "Xiaoyetan" bracelet, Li Tianyuan and Xie Xuan both widened their eyes. The two brothers had heard of oiling leather shoes, but no one had seen oiling on wooden beads in the past.

"Make some pulp for it." Qin Feng said as he reached out and wiped it on the ground. After his palms were covered with dust, he placed the bracelet between his palms and rubbed it hard.

After about five minutes, Qin Feng stopped, wrapped the bracelet with a rag, and rubbed it hard. The process lasted for more than an hour.

"This bracelet seems a little different!"

Li Tianyuan had been impatient for a long time, and pulled the quilt and fell asleep. Xie Xuan kept guarding the side. When the rag was opened, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The bracelet, which was originally a little dark, now has a very transparent luster. Under the light, the texture of the bracelet seems to be alive and very beautiful.

Moreover, on the surface of the bracelet, it seems to be covered with a thick layer of slurry, with a beautiful color but not ostentatious, presenting a charming charm.

"Xiao Pang, you have to remember that this is called patina!"

Qin Feng glanced at Xie Xuan and said, "Now there is no material on hand, so I can do it casually. This luster can be maintained for up to three or five days. I will go out to buy some sandalwood and then deal with it tomorrow!"

"Brother Feng, are you doing it old?" Xie Xuan looked a little excited and asked, "If this thing is made old, it must be very valuable, right?"

After expert identification, all the bronze ware bought by Xie Dazhi was all imitated and used. Xie Xuan listened to his father's comments a lot, so he was very familiar with this word.

"This? To be old?"

Qin Feng laughed in silence when he heard this, throwing the bracelet onto the mattress and laughed: "Xiaopang, do you know what old is? How can this thing be called old? It's not worth me to be old..."

The so-called old-fashioned means using specific means to make the expression of the object look like the old object, making its surface more vivid and closer to the era when it was imitated.

Unlike cultural relics restoration, the old method is mostly used to deceive tourism souvenirs and cultural relics. To put it bluntly, it is fake.

However, fraud is divided into different ways. If it is a real high imitation and the counterfeiting of the original objects of the restored vessel, the cost is very high, and sometimes even higher than the value of the real objects.

Just like during the three periods of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, due to the love of porcelain by the three emperors, the Palace Construction Office once imitated a batch of porcelain from the Song and Ming dynasties. The materials and craftsmanship were exactly the same as those of the previous dynasties, and the porcelain fired was beautiful.

In fact, this is also considered a fraud, but the value of the objects created at that time and later generations was not lower than the original ones, and some were even much higher.

Such fraud is only possible by the royal family, and it is not popular and has no representation.

The most common methods in the antique market are chemical etching methods, fire burning, boiling and heating methods, deep burying underground soil soaking methods, etc. to make fake things real, and use them to make fakes real.

Qin Feng applied some lard on the bracelet and then slapped it with a coarse cloth, which means it was a bit of an old hand. However, his technique was written by the secret. In three days, even an expert who was proficient in identification, it was difficult for him to identify the authenticity.

"Brother Feng, what do you mean is, let's sell this?" Xie Xuan said hesitantly: "This kind of thing is stringed with wood, and it's all over the street. Even if it's really not worth much money, right?"

"You are right, even the material of Xiaoyetan is not valuable."

Qin Feng nodded and said, "But antiques are expensive because of an "ancient". As long as it is an old thing, coupled with the so-called "inheritance" made up, it is not the price of the object itself..."

Those who do antiques trade rely on their own mouth for good or bad.

There was a joke circulating in the antique shop, saying that an antique shop recruited employees, and two people applied for the job at the same time. The shopkeeper threw the toothpick of picking his teeth on the ground and asked them what this was?

It was obviously a toothpick, and one of them quickly answered, it was a toothpick, but what disappointed him was that the shopkeeper waved his hand and let him leave.

As soon as he walked to the door, the man heard another person's answer, "This is a toothpick used by Emperor Qianlong back then, and it was preserved by the shopkeeper's ancestors, and it is priceless!"

Of course, it goes without saying that the latter was admitted on the spot.

But the shopkeeper forgot that no one in the palace except for the eunuchs responsible for the emperor's daily life could save the toothpick? This also became a joke later.

"I understand, we are Buddhist beads, which can be said to be something that the Buddha has worn." Xie Xuan was not stupid. As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, he learned from it.

"Little Pang, there are no fools in the antique business. This thing is just a prop, and you can't deceive a lot of money with it."

Qin Feng shook his head with a smile. Although Xie Xuan is a bit spiritual, it is far from enough. Anyone who plays with antiques doesn't have a nimbly heart and will not be so easily deceived.

Seeing that Xie Xuan wanted to ask questions, Qin Feng waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't ask anything now. Use your eyes to see more, use your brain to analyze more, and use less mouth!"

As the saying goes, it is said that the master leads his way to practice. Qin Feng has already said a lot. After the game is finished, whether Xie Xuan can really get started depends on whether he has the understanding.
