So she quickly stepped forward holding the box in her hand and said.
"Grandpa, don't be angry. Take a look at the gift I prepared for you. You must like it."
The old man withdrew his gaze and changed his color. He was not in a hurry to see the gift. He glanced at Zhang Yuan first and then asked Yang Xiaoyun with a smile.
Yang Xiaoyun was naturally happy that Yang Xiaocheng was being scolded, but she didn't want to make her grandfather angry, especially on such a happy day.
"This is your friend."
"Yes, I specially invited him to tell you about the gift I prepared for you."
Yang Xiaoyun explained.
"Oh, I see."
The old man's eyes flickered back and forth between Zhang Yuan and his granddaughter several times, and then he showed a meaningful smile.
Yang Xiaoyun suddenly felt that her face felt inexplicably hot.
Fortunately, the old man turned around and said.
"Then let me see what gift you have prepared for me."
Yang Xiaoyu immediately opened the wooden box in his hand and took out a golden object that looked like a fish and was half the size of a palm.
It is said that it looks like a fish, because this thing just has the shape of a fish. Although it has eyes, a tail and even gills, the proportions of each part are really weird, like a contaminated and mutated fish in a disaster movie.
Everyone was immediately bewildered when they saw this.
Even the old man was a little surprised. Even as the chairman of the collection association, he didn't know what this person was. It would be too ugly to say it was a pendant.
Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaoyun winked at Zhang Yuan.
The latter also immediately stepped forward, grabbed the object and explained.
"This thing is called a swimming fish. It is an object for viewing. The most interesting thing is that although it is a dead thing, it will come alive as soon as it encounters water!"
Everyone's jaw dropped when they heard this. An ornamental fish will come alive when it encounters water. Is this a magic prop?
When Yang Xiaocheng heard this, he sneered and said.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you telling us fantasy stories? Are you deceiving us like children?"
After hearing this, Zhang Yuan didn't waste any time. He directly picked up the transparent kettle on the side and threw the fish in.
Everyone was surprised to find that the originally weird proportions of the fish outside the water actually became more reasonable under the refraction of the water after entering the water, and it looked like it had really turned into a vivid golden carp.
"Is this what is called coming back to life? It's just using visual effects. It's not that strange."
Even though someone said it without interest.
"Don't worry, keep reading."
Zhang Yuan smiled lightly and said.
Then everyone saw that the carp slowly sank with bubbles coming from its nose, probably as deep as it had sunk, then slowly stopped, and then floated up again.
It goes back and forth like this, and it really looks like a swimming fish.
Everyone was immediately shocked beyond measure.
Even the old man was dumbfounded.
Zhang Yuan also explained in due course.
"Don't look at it. Although this swimming fish is not big, it has a universe and a complex structure inside. It makes full use of its buoyancy to achieve this effect. The so-called miraculous skills can be used to describe it. This is the wisdom of the ancients.
crystallization."
The magical picture coupled with Zhang Yuan's well-structured words immediately convinced everyone present.
Except for Yang Xiaocheng, who couldn't see Yang Xiaoyun being in the limelight, he immediately said angrily.
"It's true that it's strange and cunning, but I don't know if it's from the ancients. Why do I think it's more like a toy for children?"
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but frown and asked.
"Do you think this is the same thing as your cane?"
When Yang Xiaocheng heard that the other party mentioned the cane, he immediately became furious. After all, if Zhang Yuan hadn't exposed it, no one would know about it, and then he said angrily.
"Yes, I think you just went to the toy store and bought a toy, and then you randomly named it a fish and brought it here to fool us. Otherwise, we would never have heard of this thing."
Zhang Yuan retorted directly.
"If you haven't heard of it, that's because you have little knowledge, and it's not something you're proud of."
The rest of the people suddenly looked a little weird when they heard this, because they had never heard of it, and even the old man looked a little unnatural.
Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaoyun stood up and spoke.
"Okay, then I will give you extra lessons. I will call Mr. Zhang now and ask him to tell you whether there is such a thing as swimming fish."
Then he took out his cell phone and made a call.
The Zhang Lao she talks about is a well-known appraisal expert, very convincing in the industry, the kind of master who no one will question his work.
After the call was connected, Yang Xiaoyun asked directly.
"Grandpa Zhang, excuse me, but I wonder if you know that there is an object called a swimming fish, which is..."
Then Yang Xiaoyun talked about the characteristics of swimming fish.
After hearing this, Mr. Zhang told the story.
"The fish you mentioned is indeed recorded in the history books, but I have never seen it."
"It is said that in the Ming Dynasty, there was a young prince who liked to raise fish very much, but the late old prince had a cat that loved to eat fish, so all the fish he raised were eaten by the cat, but
He didn't dare do anything to that cat."
"So he asked a craftsman named Gongshu to find a way to make a fish that could swim in the water like a fish, and named it Youyu."
But this is a bit like a legend. There is no way to verify whether it existed in history. Even very few people know this story...
After saying this, Mr. Zhang suddenly realized something and then his tone changed and he asked.
"Why are you asking this? You haven't seen a swimming fish, right? Where is it? Please help me stay here. I will go and have a look. If it is true, I will definitely buy it!"
Yang Xiaoyun turned on the speakerphone, and everyone heard these words clearly, and then the old man spoke directly.
"The swimming fish you want to see is mine now, Lao Zhang. If you want to see it, it depends on your sincerity."
Then he stretched out his hand and hung up the phone directly, with a child-like smile on his face.
Looking at the fish playing in the kettle, he said with satisfaction.
"It's really a treasure."
With Mr. Zhang's words, everyone no longer has any doubts.
Yang Xiaoyun, on the other hand, ridiculed Yang Xiaocheng, who was slapped in the face.
"How about it? Now you know that you really have little knowledge."
The latter clenched his fists and lowered his head. After a moment, he suddenly raised his head and gritted his teeth and said to Yang Xiaoyun.
"Cousin, you just said that your friend is an appraiser. By coincidence, I also brought an appraiser friend today. I wonder if your friend dares to compare with my friend."
As he spoke, a middle-aged man with eyes walked out of the crowd and came to Yang Xiaocheng's side.
