"Hey, what kind of treasure? Then open it quickly and let me open my eyes." Tang Zheng urged first.
Qu Erhe looked mysterious: "I also brought this treasure from that mountain village. It is the most valuable and most cherished of all my collections. If it weren't for you, most people would not take it out."
Seeing Qu Erhe say this really aroused everyone's curiosity.
Xue Chen also put down his teacup, wanting to take a closer look at which small mountain village this boss Qu had brought out what good things were the most valuable and cherished. It was really interesting.
Qu Erhe carefully put down the sandalwood box, and when he opened the lid, he said: "Didn't I tell you, I went to that mountain village just for Hu Zi, because I was prepared and brought cash with me.
Yes, I got the tiger cubs on the same day. Just when I was happily taking the tiger cubs out of the village, a family was digging a vegetable cellar. It was fate. Just when I was passing by, from under the cellar
I lifted up a shovel and brought this treasure up in the dirt. Do you think this is luck..."
"Okay, okay, don't whet our appetite, it's only right to show us quickly." Zhuge Yi smiled and said.
"Everyone, please close your eyes." Qu Erhe pushed the opened box forward so that everyone could see it more clearly.
Xue Chen, like other old gentlemen, turned their attention away and took a closer look. It was not an accident. There was still a piece of porcelain in the box. This was normal. Porcelain was the well-deserved leader in the antique market.
Ancient Chinese treasures, whether they are calligraphy, paintings or gold, silver and jade, have to be ranked behind. After all, the English name of the country is the same as the porcelain.
Just when everyone turned their attention to the porcelain in the box, Qu Erhe didn't stop and kept talking.
"You haven't seen that scene. The soil from the shovel rose up from the bottom of the cellar and sprinkled it on my feet. I was in a happy mood at the time and didn't care about it. But when I saw this treasure at my feet, I
I almost fainted from excitement."
The more Qu Erhe talked, the more intense the blush on his face became.
"At that time, I was about to bend down and pick it up, but there were three other villagers next to the vegetable cellar. They moved faster than me. When they saw something coming out of the soil, they rushed forward and grabbed the thing in front of me.
I saw it with my eyes and was anxious in my heart, but we couldn’t snatch it away, so we just talked to those villagers.”
"One of them was a village cadre and had some knowledge. He knew that what he dug out was a treasure. Fortunately, those few people didn't know the treasure they dug up, let alone its specific value. In the end, I agreed to give each of the four people one million.
A total of four million, and I got the things."
Qu Erhe was talking on the other side, and he was also admiring it here.
Inside the wooden box is a bluish-white sunflower pattern plate. The color is very plain and looks pretty good. There are many open flakes on the glaze, dotted with spots, and some lines that look like dry and cracked earth.
Cracking is a natural cracking phenomenon in the glaze of porcelain. After modern research, there are two reasons for cracking.
One is that the clay extends in a certain direction during molding, which reflects the arrangement of molecules; the other is that the glaze expansion coefficient of the blank is different, and the shrinkage rate of the glaze layer is large when cooling after firing.
Opening was originally a shortcoming encountered when firing porcelain. The original intention was not to crack it, but it was not fired properly and it cracked. But later, people saw that the opening was quite beautiful, so there was a special effort to find a way.
How to make the slices burn better.
And once you encounter a piece of porcelain with split pieces in the market, it will definitely attract more attention than the one without split pieces, for no other reason than that, in all likelihood, the split porcelain is one of the five famous porcelains of the Song Dynasty! The real thing is worth thousands of gold!
In other words, this piece of porcelain dug out from the vegetable cellar in the mountain village is one of the five famous porcelains. No matter which type it is, the price of four million is a big profit, at least double it.
After looking at the porcelain plate for a few times, Xue Chen's eyes moved, and he quietly glanced at the expressions of Zhuge Yi and Zeng Guangrong. To be precise, these two people have the best eyesight among the people here.
One has been working hard in Liulichang for most of his life, and the other is an expert who can serve as a researcher of cultural relics in the Forbidden City, not to mention his level.
When he saw the vague expressions on the faces of these two people, he understood and had an idea.
"I just returned to the capital after I got the things. I just came back two days ago and I was planning to find a few people to sign and authenticate them. It happened that a few people came to the teahouse, so I, Qu, shamelessly asked everyone to sign for me.
A word." Qu Erhe clasped his hands into fists.
Once you have the signatures of Zhuge Yi and Zeng Guangrong, it will be equivalent to a national inspection-free product and a statement of authenticity. In the future, you will be confident when dealing with others and dare to ask for prices.
This is equivalent to celebrity endorsement, and even more important. If a product endorsed by a celebrity is found to be defective, the celebrity will basically not be affected too much. However, this is different. It is okay to add Zhuge Yi's signature certification. Antiques are found to be
If it is a fake, Zhuge Yi's reputation will suddenly plummet.
Therefore, it is not easy to find someone of Zhuge Yi's level to sign, and sometimes you need to spend a lot of money, possibly hundreds of thousands.
When he heard that he was asked to sign the certificate, Zhuge Yi raised his brows slightly. He did not rush to agree or refuse immediately, as if he was thinking about it.
And at this moment, Wang Ke, who was looking at the porcelain, took out a magnifying glass from somewhere and exclaimed: "If I'm not mistaken, this is... a Jun porcelain from the Southern Song Dynasty?"
Qu Erhe laughed and gave a thumbs up: "No wonder Mr. Wang's program is so popular. He really has an extraordinary eye. This is indeed a piece of Jun porcelain."
"Junci?!" University professor Lu Liang also showed some surprise.
"Xiao Wang, how do you tell that this is a Jun porcelain piece?" Tang Zhengxian, the deputy director of the questioning department, although he is considered a veteran in the antiques industry, his eyesight is only average. Once he has a wide network of people, he can
In addition, I have a sharp mind, so I have a lot of collections, but I rarely pay attention to them.
Wang Kejiang pointed to the middle of the blue and white porcelain plate and said: "Director Tang, look, what is this? Earthworms are walking on mud patterns. Can this be fake? Use a magnifying glass to see."
Tang Zheng first raised his butt slightly, took a look with a magnifying glass, nodded, and said a long "Oh."
"Mr. Wang is very knowledgeable." Qu Erhe praised again.
"This is nothing." Wang Ke pretended to be reserved and smiled, "One of the biggest characteristics of Jun porcelain in the Southern Song Dynasty, which is also used as a proof of identification, is that earthworms walk on mud patterns. Knowing this is nothing, Mr. Xue, now
You should also be able to tell that this is Junci."
Even if you didn’t see the hidden meaning just now, you should know it now after my guidance.
"Oh, I've learned a lesson." Xue Chen's expression remained the same, with a faint smile on his lips. He didn't bother to say useless words to Wang Ke, so he said something casually.
"Hey, Xue Chen, I remember you just said, don't you have a carmine red ice-cracked vase made of Jun porcelain from the Southern Song Dynasty?" Zeng Guangrong said, which means that since you have Jun porcelain, you must know how earthworms move.
Mud pattern.
"Well, there is one." Of course Xue Chen knew that earthworms traced mud patterns. This is the same as Dayingku porcelain. It is not difficult for one to know. As one of the five famous porcelains of the Southern Song Dynasty, as long as you study it in depth, you will naturally be able to master many of them.
Knowledge.
Earthworm mud patterns, to put it bluntly, are a kind of pattern on the surface of porcelain, which is curved and curved. At first glance, it looks like the patterns left by earthworms when they emerge from the soil and crawl on the ground after a rain. Of course,
You need to use a magnifying glass to see this, it is invisible to the naked eye.
This pattern is unique to Jun porcelain and is usually used as one of the important basis for identifying Jun porcelain. However, because there are so few Jun porcelains in existence, there are definitely not many people who can truly understand the patterns of earthworms walking on mud and have seen them with their own eyes.
When Qu Erhe heard that this strange young man also owned a piece of Jun porcelain, it was also the most popular vase among ornamental objects. It was worth at least tens of millions, which was much higher than the value of his blue and white porcelain plate.
, there were some changes in the eyes looking at Xue Chen.
"Oh, this little brother also has a piece of Jun porcelain. What a coincidence. I wonder if you can allow me, Qu, to visit me as a guest some other time and appreciate it?" Qu Erhe asked politely with a smile.
"Well, of course you're welcome, but Boss Qu, I'm not from the capital. My home is in Haicheng City, Yunzhou Province. If one day Boss Qu goes on a business trip to Haicheng City, I'll be sure to sweep up the bed and wait for you." Xue Chen replied with a smile.
Qu Erhe nodded and said: "Since little brother Xue also owns a piece of Jun porcelain, he must know a lot about Jun porcelain. How about my Jun porcelain? Can it be regarded as a superior piece?"
Seeing Qu Erhe asking Xue Chen for advice, Wang Ke looked over. Zhuge Yi and Zeng Guangrong also turned their heads to look. There was something twinkling in their eyes.
But Xue Chen was in trouble, why? Because this Jun porcelain is a fake. No one else has seen Jun porcelain. He has naturally seen and played with Jun porcelain, and he understands it well. Although this bluish-white plate looks good at first glance, it even has earthworms on it.
It's a muddy pattern, but what's fake is still fake.
Now when Qu Erhe asked him what he thought, he really didn't know what to say. He couldn't just say it was a fake. Although it was indeed true, he looked at Qu Erhe as if he was happy to have a son.
, I really can’t bear to attack.
Perhaps seeing Xue Chen's embarrassment, Zhuge Yi sighed lightly and said, "Boss Qu, since you found me to sign, I naturally can't refuse, but I can't sign this time."
"Why..." Qu Erhe subconsciously wanted to ask the reason, but the words came to an abrupt end. He could sign, but he didn't. What else could it be, and there was only one reason? There was something wrong with this piece of Jun porcelain!
The smile on his face became a little stiff, and Qu Erhe said in a cautious tone: "Mr. Zhuge, this...can't be true. I saw it dug out of the vegetable cellar with my own eyes. It's true."
Looking at Qu Erhe, Xue Chen only had three words in his mind: pay the tuition. (To be continued)
