Han Peacock smiled sullenly and hugged Liuxu and walked to the other side. He never thought that Liuxu could be so sarcastic at times.
Zhang Qunfang was more direct. She laughed out loud, which made Professor Shui and his wife even more ugly.
"I don't know." Professor Shui could only wave his sleeves and ignore Han Peacock and Liu Catkin.
However, at this time, many people looked at Professor Shui and his wife with something strange in their eyes. Although they did not think that what Liu Xiu said was true, they already looked at them with a look of scrutiny when they picked things.
Han Kongque was quite satisfied with this result. After all, he was a compatriot from the same country, so it was good to be less likely to be cheated.
Although they had walked a short distance, the shopping mall was not very big after all, so Han Peacock and Liu Xu did not leave Professor Shui and the others too far.
At this time, Han Kongque was looking at Qian Xiu who was choosing bracelets!
"Why are you looking at her? Do you also like that kind of enchanting little goblin?" Liu Xu said as she hit Han Peacock.
Han Kongque said in a low voice: "This store is not honest. Their goods are arranged very interestingly. Often among several worthless things, only one with a suitable price will be placed. Sister Zhang picked it right. Now
It all depends on the little goblin's luck. If she is unlucky, there may be others who are unlucky after her."
After saying that, Han Kongque glanced at Professor Shui. He also saw that Professor Shui may be a real professor, but not all professors are good at jewelry. Obviously, Professor Shui is not.
He knows a lot about jewelry, but at least he doesn't know about corals.
Sure enough, Qian Xiu did not have the same luck as Zhang Qunfang. She picked a bunch of fake goods. Of course, this cannot be said to be unlucky. Because there are too many fake goods here. As long as you are not knowledgeable, the chance of picking a fake product is
Still very big.
Qian Xiu chose a snow-red coral bracelet. Every blood-red coral in the bracelet was so crystal clear. Under the light of the store, it seemed to have a trace of fluorescence, making it look even more beautiful.
No accident, this bracelet fell into the hands of Professor Shui. It seemed that Li Minglong was flattering him. Of course, it also meant that Professor Shui would give him a hand.
After Professor Shui took the bracelet, he did not look at it immediately. Instead, he glanced at the people around him, especially Liu Catkin and Han Peacock, who were the focus of his attention.
“When buying coral products, you must first look at the texture and luster of red coral. You have less exposure to coral, so you don’t have a strong feeling because you have no one to compare with. Ordinary merchants often pass off inferior products as good ones. They use
All are dead corals, you know. Dead corals and live corals are completely different.
Dead corals are often seriously eroded by sea water, with many surface cracks and rust spots, and a rough and loose texture, which is easy to see. When you look at the bracelet, it seems to have a layer of fluorescence, which is called treasure in our industry.
Light, only some top-quality gems can carry this kind of light, ordinary things don't have it.
Especially coral beads made of dead coral. They do not have a trace of fluorescence and are relatively dim in color. If they stay on the seabed for a long time, they will rust or even be severely corroded by some marine organisms.
Therefore, good things cannot cover up its brilliance. This is a genuine blood-red coral bracelet, which is rare in China and the price is definitely more than 50,000 yuan."
Han Kongque almost burst out laughing when he saw Professor Shui's performance. Did he think this was a treasure appraisal on TV?
Professor Shui's words were full of yin and yang and rhymed very much. The last sentence really looked like those experts on TV.
"Ah! The price tag of this bracelet is two thousand US dollars! When converted into RMB, isn't it only more than twelve thousand dollars? Isn't this just a leak from the legend?" Qian Xiu's eyes were full of surprise, but in the surprise
At the same time, she secretly glanced at Li Minglong.
Sure enough, Qian Xiu knew Li Minglong very well. As soon as he heard about the missing piece, Li Minglong immediately walked up quickly and took the bracelet in his hand before Qian Xiu.
Picking up leaks! Although he only picked up a small leak, it was still a leak. He had never picked up a leak. This has always been his regret. He did not expect that here, he would also have great achievements in picking up leaks.
Of course, Qian Xiu's credit has completely disappeared at this time. This is because he, Li Minglong, has a keen eye for pearls and picked out such a small leak from many coral jewelry.
Li Minglong felt very sad when he thought of the pile of so-called official kiln porcelain in his home's vault. Those pheasant appraisers were indeed not as reliable as those from university professors.
"Professor Shui is worthy of being a famous expert and scholar. I have long heard that one method can solve all problems. This refers to masters like Professor Shui! Professor Shui has made outstanding achievements not only in history, but also in jewelry appraisal.
It is also a master level.
I was able to pick up such a small leak all thanks to Master Shui. In this way, all the expenses Professor Shui spent here today are all mine. You don’t have to be polite to me. I am so damn poor that I only have money left. I am
I really hope to meet some real masters.”
Although many of Li Minglong's words were inappropriate, Master Shui had no time to pay attention to him now. At this time, there was already a smile on his face that could not be concealed.
However, after all, he has been a master for many years, and he is still a master. He said reservedly: "Since we are traveling together, we should help each other."
"Master Shui, don't be polite, and you don't need to pay attention to those young people. Young people don't know how high the sky is. They have learned just a few things and think they are masters? If it is so easy to appraise jewelry, then the masters in China still don't know.
Flying all over the sky?"
Li Minglong picked up the leak and no longer knew who he was. He was in a daze and felt that everyone who looked down upon him had been stepped on by him.
Maybe the heat is still a little off, but now that I'm ingratiating myself with Professor Shui, I'll have to pick up leaks more often in the future. When the time comes, I must impress the rich people in the circle.
"It's nothing. Young people don't know how high the sky is and how high it is. How can we be on the same level as them? It would be nice to have more education. However, after all, we are not their parents. The most we can do is give them a kind reminder, so we can't control it any more.
." Professor Shui said.
Li Minglong said with a smile: "Professor Shui is really kind-hearted, young people should be humble!"
Originally, Han Peacock didn't want to pay attention to their singing performance, after all, they didn't mention their names, but now, Li Minglong didn't know whether he drank too much or something, and he wanted to make Han Peacock humble.
At this time, Han Kongque felt uncomfortable, so he confirmed: "You mean me? Let me be humble?"
"Who else can you have if you don't? Knowing is knowing, not knowing is knowing. If young people don't know, they just don't know. Don't show off in front of your girlfriend. It's not easy for parents to make some money. Don't spend money here." Shui.
Teaching a benevolent educational Korean peacock.
Han Peacock felt a little disgusted: "Who told you that I spent my parents' money? Also, if you know something, you know it, and if you don't know it, you don't know it. I understand this sentence very well, so I will tell you what I know and what I don't know.
I definitely won't say it.
Just like the bracelet you picked, if it were not processed into jewelry and then glued and waxed, it would never look like this. If the bracelet made of dead coral is not treated, it will never look like this.
It can't be sold.
Of course, the treated dead coral is also very beautiful at first glance, but if you look closely, the cracks and patches on its surface can still be easily seen. This is the biggest difference between jewelry made from dead coral and living coral. In addition, this
Bracelets made of dead coral have a waxy luster on the surface and lack the glassy luster and delicate texture of live coral.”
"Replenishing and waxing? Treated? All red corals need to be refilled and waxed?" Liu Xu suppressed a smile and asked Han Peacock seriously. At the same time, she was holding a string of bracelets that looked worthless in her hand.
"Just like this string, it is made of high-quality live red coral. If you compare it with this string, its texture and luster are not as good as the previous one. This is a treasure without any glue or waxing.
.
The latter one is made by adding glue and waxing. The contrast is very obvious and can be said to be clear at a glance. If I can't distinguish this kind of coral, I will never become a professor." Han.
Peacock said seriously.
LiuXu also carefully lifted up the two bracelets to check. Under the light of the store's lamp, the two bracelets were not of the same level in terms of gloss and texture.
This kind of thing that can teach others to identify on the spot is rare, otherwise the seller will eat the Korean peacock.
But the situation here is different. This is a foreign country. Because the foreign salespeople don't understand Chinese at all, they don't know what Han Peacock and Liu Catkin did, and naturally they don't have any ideas.
Han Peacock took the coral products here and taught him a lesson on the spot. Even a fool knew a little bit about the identification of corals.
At this time, several people who heard Han Kongque's analysis report threw themselves on the counter at the same time. Professor Shui's face was swollen anyway, so there was no need for these people to save face for him.
Now ordinary tourists were looking at the coral products in the counter and could clearly see the difference. After all, it was not difficult, so they quickly picked out a few pieces of jewelry.
Han Peacock was delighted when he saw the coral products. Whether they were carvings or jewelry, they were all treasures made of living coral.
The few tourists who were not in Han Peacock's group moved much faster than those who were in Han Peacock's group.
One woman was particularly smart. She chose a blood-red coral bracelet that was much smaller and had fewer coral beads than the one Qian Xiu chose.
When asked about the price, the female tourist paid the bill directly. Does this still require an appraisal?
Damn it, a bracelet with beads that are obviously not as big as Qian Xiu’s bracelet, nor as many as hers, shouldn’t the price be cheaper?
But things were so strange. When the female tourist asked about the price, she said it was five thousand dollars and she would not bargain.
