Chapter 23 A colorful jar worth 30 million (Part 2)
"Brother Qing, what's the secret? Is there really a secret to this thing?!" Lin Haitao said in surprise. He looked at the strange-looking paint can from left to right with concentration. Huo Di, he seemed to have seen something, and he exclaimed.
Said: "Yes! Brother Qing, the problem must be on the surface of the porcelain! I think someone applied a superfluous layer of ordinary paint on it, right?!"
"Haitao, you finally saw the trick!" He Qing smiled and nodded, "I thought so too at first. This is actually a relatively exquisite piece of porcelain, but someone deliberately tampered with it.
, and put a layer of paint on it to cover it up."
Lin Haitao laughed suddenly and said: "Brother Qing, let me tell you, how can you like an ordinary paint can? If you really want it, there are a lot better than that on the street. You can get as many as you want.
Why spend a thousand yuan to buy such a crappy thing? But I didn’t think of this at the time. Brother Qing, how did you see that? That thing was placed in the corner of Boss Zhong’s house, inconspicuously, and no one noticed it.
,Why are you so interested in it?"
He Qing smiled slightly and said, "It's just a coincidence."
He discovered the porcelain based on the "Baoguang". If it weren't for the guidance of the more conspicuous red aura, it would be difficult for him to notice it.
"It can't be such a coincidence. None of us noticed it, but you were the only one who noticed it. Brother Qing, you must have a knack!" Lin Haitao said excitedly. He admired He Qing more and more. He only said that the other party's vision is really deep.
Unfathomable, as if every treasure could not escape his grasp once it passed his eyes.
He Qing shook his head and said: "There's really no trick. Haitao, let's not talk about it for now. I'm not sure yet. I can't make a conclusion until I find a way to remove this layer of paint."
"Well, that's true, but there shouldn't be any problem. I believe you won't get it wrong!" Lin Haitao said firmly.
He Qing said: "You have to buy some paint remover first. Haitao, do you have any good suggestions? You have been working at 'Jianbaozhai' for so long, and you know more about cleaning and protecting porcelain than I do. I also
I have no experience in this area.”
Lin Haitao hurriedly replied: "This is easy to handle. Just buy some acid. Brother Qing, how about this? I'll go out and prepare a paint remover for you right away. You can wait for me here."
"Then why are you embarrassed?" He Qing shook his head quickly and said, "I have to buy it myself if I want to go. How can I let you run errands?"
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Lin Haitao said with a smile, "It's just a little effort! The main thing is that you have to stay here and look at this piece of porcelain. Maybe this is really a precious porcelain, so you have to keep an eye on it!"
He Qing said happily: "Well, okay, you go buy me paint stripper and some for cleaning the tomb. I'll make preparations in the room."
"Okay, I'll go then." Lin Haitao said goodbye immediately and left the room. He ran to buy paint stripper and other supplies for He Qing.
In fact, less than a quarter of an hour later, Lin Haitao came back with the things and said happily: "Brother Qing, you have bought the things you want, shall we start painting the porcelain now?"
He Qing nodded without hesitation and said: "Well, let's remove it as soon as possible to determine the situation."
So the two of them walked into the bathroom with the paint can and paint stripper. He Qing first cleaned the piece of porcelain, then put it into a basin with an appropriate amount of acid, and soaked it for a while.
Then scrub carefully.
"Brother Qing, your guess is absolutely correct!" Lin Haitao said with surprise and joy as he watched the paint on the surface of the big can peel off little by little, "The surface of this can must be painted
A layer of paint is not like this from the beginning, but is artificially added later, otherwise it would not dissolve and fall off so easily."
He Qing smiled and nodded: "Maybe, but we can't tell the specific situation now. We won't know until this layer of paint is brushed off."
Although he was not very sure on the surface, in his heart he was sure, because he had already seen its ins and outs through the thick light emitting from the porcelain, and knew its true face in Lushan.
It turns out that the paint can that nobody cares about in Boss Zhong’s house has a lot of history. It is not an ordinary can, and it is definitely not used to hold trivial items such as cabbage seeds. Instead, it is a fine piece of porcelain passed down from the Ming Dynasty.
Rare and precious.
After about a few more minutes of brushing, Lin Haitao suddenly screamed and said excitedly: "Brother Qing, look, it's porcelain!"
"Where?" He Qing asked in surprise. He looked in the direction pointed by Lin Haitao. What caught his eye was a small piece of smooth porcelain. That area was in sharp contrast with the surrounding dull and rough paint surface, so he looked
It looks particularly dazzling when it goes up.
"Haha, it's true." He Qing chuckled. In fact, he had already known about this situation, but when he saw this scene with his own eyes, the feeling was quite different, and he still felt a sense of surprise.
Lin Haitao said solemnly: "Isn't it?! I knew that this paint can was not simple, and sure enough, this happened! Brother Qing, you are so awesome. You only spent a thousand yuan and you bought such a good thing.
A piece of porcelain! You made a lot of money again this time!"
He Qing said: "We just made such a small hole. We still don't know what happens next. Let's check again."
As he spoke, he calmly continued to scrub away the ugly layer of paint covering the surface of the porcelain. As the paint continued to dissolve and fall off, a large area of exquisite porcelain appeared on the surface of the originally ugly paint can. Lin Hai
Tao had no more doubts and said with surprise: "It must be an old porcelain! The decoration on the surface is also very beautiful. Look at the glaze, it is colorful. It seems to be multicolored porcelain. It is probably from the Ming Dynasty or Qing Dynasty. Anyway, it is very exquisite.
It doesn’t look like it was produced by a private kiln, it should be a fine product from an official kiln. Such a large piece of multicolored porcelain from an official kiln is of immeasurable value!”
"Oh, really?" He Qing said with a smile, "If it is really an official kiln, that would be easy to say."
Lin Haitao said inexplicably: "I really can't figure it out. How come Mr. Zhong has such a piece of porcelain in his house? It's such a good piece of multicolored porcelain, why should it be covered with paint? This is simply a waste of natural resources!"
He Qing nodded and said: "This is indeed a bit strange, but some people have their own reasons for doing this, maybe to hide something."
"Well, it's possible." Lin Haitao agreed, "My grandpa received a piece of porcelain before. The condition of the porcelain was similar to this one, except that it was not painted with monotonous paint. Instead, it was painted with other colors, which changed the original piece of porcelain.
The very fine porcelain was painted messily to attract other people's attention, because the family was hiding from debt collectors at the time. Unexpectedly, before the mystery was revealed, the person who painted the porcelain passed away. This secret
His family had no idea about it, but fortunately my grandfather discovered it and later solved the mystery. It turned out that it was a valuable pastel vase, worth millions!"
"What happens next?" He Qing asked curiously.
Lin Haitao said quite proudly: "Later, my grandfather returned the porcelain that he had figured out to others without taking any money. The family was very poor and could not eat three meals a day. Later, after the items were auctioned,
They have lived a relatively prosperous life, and now their whole family regards my grandfather as their savior."
"Master, he is really kind-hearted. He can just give back millions of things!" He Qingda sighed.
Lin Haitao said: "The situation is different, because my grandfather knew that if he accepted the piece of porcelain and concealed the truth, he would always feel bad. It is better to return the thing to others and have peace of mind."
"Well, yes." He Qing said seriously, "But I will never return this piece of porcelain to Boss Zhong. I bought it openly. It is now mine and has nothing to do with their family.
!”
Lin Haitao nodded hurriedly and said: "Of course! Your situation is completely different. Boss Zhong is so harsh and a corrupt official. If you don't take his things, take who's things - but..."
When he said this, he suddenly frowned, as if he thought of something bad.
"But what?" He Qing asked in surprise.
Lin Haitao replied: "Brother Qing, have you ever thought about this? What if the porcelain you received by mistake was also his stolen goods?"
"No! This is impossible!" Hearing this, He Qing smiled in relief and shook his head vigorously, "If the thing belongs to him, it means he painted it in order to hide it from others, but you also saw that he was completely unaware
I don’t know, otherwise how could he only sell me for a thousand yuan? He would definitely raise a very high price and extort me severely!"
"You are right. Boss Zhong is such a cunning person. There is no reason why he should not value this piece of porcelain." Lin Haitao nodded and said, "There is only one possibility, and that is that he knows nothing about the situation of this piece of porcelain."
!”
"It should be like this." He Qing nodded.
In fact, he knew very well that the colorful jar with great history had nothing to do with Boss Zhong. Whether he had seen the original thing or not was a question.
The thing was actually painted on by his grandfather. At that time, in the 19th century, the culture was shaken and his grandfather was criticized. He was afraid that his ancestors would inherit the family's secrets, so he thought of such a method, but it was actually helpless.
Just after Ke Wen★ passed away, his grandfather passed away, and the secret of the porcelain followed him into the grave. No one knew about it until the existence of He Qingzhi?
The ancestors of the Zhong family did have important figures. They were high-ranking officials in the capital during the Ming Dynasty, so their family had fine porcelain from the official kilns given by the emperor. The colorful jar from the Jiajing period was one of the family heirlooms. It was just a treasure.
Being so close, Boss Zhong had no idea that if he now knew that the item was worth a lot of money, given his extremely stingy character, he wouldn't know that he would rush to fight He Qing to the death.
It's certain that he came here to ask for something, but He Qing and the others won't give him this chance!
It took about more than an hour, and He Qing finally wiped off all the paint on the large colorful can.
At this point, an exquisite large jar suddenly appeared in front of them, which was shocking and overjoyed.
