treasure hunter

Huang Lao held up five fingers.

Shulong asked, "Fifty thousand?"

Huang Lao smiled lightly and shook his head: "Not that many."

Pei Miao asked, "Five thousand?"

Huang Lao shook his head again: "It's still too much."

"Five hundred?" Chen Wei asked this time.

Huang Lao looked a little proud, and said with a smile: "Fifty."

"Damn!" Mr. Zhu and Mr. Tan exclaimed when they heard the words, "50 yuan missed 400 million?!"

Huang Lao said: "It's not as easy as you think. When I bought it, there were hundreds of copper coins in the jar, and more than half of them were fakes exactly like this one. I bargained with the other party and finally bought five coins for 50 yuan." .”

Chen Wei asked suspiciously, "What about the other four?"

Huang Lao laughed and said, "The other four are all fakes, so there's no need to show them."

Chen Wei was puzzled, "You know it's a fake, why did you still buy it?"

"This..." Huang Lao looked puzzled, "This is difficult to explain to you, Pei Miao, explain it to your girlfriend."

Pei Miao said, "She's not my girlfriend."

Chen Wei looked at Pei Miao and said, "Don't care if it's true or not, tell me why?"

Pei Miao thought for a while and said, "To put it simply, it is to prevent the other party from cheating."

"Cheating, what kind of cheating?"

Pei Miao said: "Generally, people who set up street stalls are of the same level of appreciating treasures. They can't tell the authenticity of many antiques, such as ancient coins. It is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of ancient coins, and the street vendors There are hundreds of coins there, let him identify them one by one, even if his eyes are blurred, he will not be able to find the real ones. Besides, in a large pile of counterfeit coins, if you want to find one The probability of real coins is relatively low. Maybe you have been busy all day, thinking that your eyes are cross-eyed, but in the end you get nothing, so there are street vendors who are smart and see which other people choose when setting up their stalls, and then he says that coin is not good. Sell ​​it, then collect it for yourself, and study it slowly and carefully when you go back.”

"It's okay!" Chen Wei said in surprise, "This is too unprofessional."

Pei Miao nodded: "That's right, it's very unprofessional to do so, but it doesn't violate the law. Some people just want money and are shameless, so there's nothing to do with them. People like Huang Lao seem to have a lot of research on antiques. The goal It is clear that he only bought one coin, which shows that the coin he bought is worth studying carefully, and if he buys several at a time, it shows that Mr. Huang himself is not sure. In short, the range attack is not clear. Goal."

Chen Wei nodded thoughtfully, and then asked again: "What if the stall owner withholds all the five copper coins bought by Mr. Huang?"

Xu Hongchang said with a smile: "Then he doesn't need to do business. In fact, in Yunzhou Antique City, the rules are quite strict. As long as a customer complains to him, it's fine once. If you complain two or three times, don't even think about putting this product here in the future." It's a stall, so those vendors are also cautious in using such tricks, and they don't dare to act recklessly if they don't have a lot of confidence."

Huang Lao laughed and said: "I would rather believe that the owner of the stall is of good character, well, let's not talk about these, whose turn will be next."

"Let me do it." Professor Han laughed, picked up the cloth bag on the table, took out the broken porcelain pieces one by one, and placed them neatly on the table. There were fifteen pieces in total.

After he finished digging out, Professor Han said: "This is a Celestial Ball Vase of Qianlong official kiln famille rose porcelain. According to the boss, when he purchased it, he spent 500 million yuan. Unfortunately, the car overturned on the way back. A series of protection measures, but after all, it is a car overturned, and this celestial bottle is still crushed. I have seen it, it is genuine, and every fragment is there, very complete. I can restore it perfectly. After repairing, it should be able to sell for 200. Well, as for how much you can sell it for, it depends on your luck."

Mr. Huang examined the fragments carefully, and said, "It is indeed the famille rose porcelain of Qianlong's official kiln. The quality is very good. It's a pity that such a good thing is broken."

At this time, Zhu Laodu: "We can't tell whether your fragment is complete. I think it has to be calculated according to the lowest price, which is 100 million. Professor Han, what do you think?"

Professor Han nodded: "No problem, anyway, it is impossible for our group to win the first place."

Shu Jinkui, Shulong's grandfather, smiled and said, "That's right, I was the one who slowed down."

He pointed to a small bronze hand stove that he bought on the table, and said, "This is a hand stove that I bought for two hundred and eighty dollars, please help me to have a look."

After reading it, Huang Lao smiled and said: "Yes, it is a very good thing. Although the civil hand warmer in the Jiaqing period was used by civilians, the workmanship is very good and the craftsmanship is very exquisite. It is probably The hand stoves used by high-ranking officials and dignitaries can be worth tens of thousands."

Shulong said happily after hearing the words: "Grandpa, I have ordered your hand stove, and I will sell it in my shop."

"Well, good." Grandpa Shulong also nodded happily.

Next, it was the turn of Mr. Chen and Shulong. After all, Shulong was not as strong as these seniors. This time there was no gain, and Mr. Chen missed a Thangka.

Thangka is a painting painted on cloth in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Thangka and murals were the two most mainstream painting expressions on the Silk Road and were very popular.

The Thangka that Mr. Chen picked up was not actually a pick-up, but a bargaining skill. With his sharp tongue, he magnified the shortcomings of this Thangka and pushed down the price. This thangka is not well preserved.

In the end, Mr. Chen succeeded in lowering the price. Compared with the market price, it was almost [-] yuan cheaper, which is already very rare. You must know that the prices of things in Yunzhou Antique City are inflated and outrageously expensive.

Next is the group of Mr. Zhu and Mr. Tan.

Mr. Zhu and Mr. Tan were not very lucky, and did not encounter any mistakes, so the two bought two things they liked more, because the things in Yunzhou Antique City were more expensive, so their The score is negative.

Even so, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Tan were very happy.

Finally, it was the turn of Pei Miao and Xu Hongchang.

Xu Hongchang pointed to the chamber pot on the table: "Here, you have seen it. This is my harvest today, a white jade chamber pot from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty."

Everyone took a look at the chamber pot, and finally Huang Lao said: "Yes, the white jade chamber pot in the Qianlong period is also a decent Hetian jade. The quality of the jade is quite good. It is conceivable that it should be a chamber pot for dignitaries. It's a pity that the preservation is not very good, and... this is a bit like something that was unearthed not long ago."

This is already obvious, it was dug out by someone from a tomb.

Xu Hongchang said: "I had this feeling before, but I was never sure. Now that this is the case, I have decided! Dedicate this white jade chamber pot to the country!"

Professor Han tried his best not to laugh when he heard the words. Xu Hongchang glared at him and said, "What's the matter, isn't this a treasure? Is it wrong for me to dedicate it to the country?"

Professor Han coughed hard, finally suppressed his smile, and said, "That's right, that's what we should do, that...you still have a few treasures at home, why don't you give them together."

Xu Hongchang said: "Nonsense, why don't you donate your treasures? Those treasures in my family have a clear origin. They are my private collection. Why don't you give them away? Old Han, you like to hate me."

"Okay, I was wrong, I won't hate you." Professor Han apologized with a smile and cupped his fists.

The two of them were at each other's throats, and the others laughed and watched the excitement. Finally, Huang Lao turned to look at Pei Miao, and said, "Pei Miao, you missed two treasures?"

"Yes." Pei Miao nodded, first picked up the carton of Dingyao brush washer in front of him, opened the carton, and took out the brush washer.

As soon as they saw the brush wash as white as snow, everyone's eyes straightened instantly, and their movements were almost uniform. Everyone leaned forward and stretched their necks forward, wanting to get closer to see clearly.

Pei Miao put the washer in front of Mr. Huang, and said, "Mr. Huang, let's get started first."

"This seems... to be Ding Kiln?" Huang Lao said in surprise, and reached out to pick up the brush washer.

He held the brush washer in his left hand, opened the cover of the brush washer with his right hand, and looked carefully. The more he looked at his face, the more surprised he became, and he kept exclaiming: "My God, it is really a Ding kiln, and it is such a perfectly preserved Ding kiln. It's done, it's like a new one out of the kiln, how is this possible..."

The people next to them were very itchy. If what Huang Lao said was true, it should be a counterfeit. After all, it was too "new", but Huang Lao said that it was really a Ding kiln. It may be misleading, so it is very strange.

Mr. Huang looked at it for several minutes, and finally finished it. He put the brush washer back on the table, and said, "Come on, let's take a look, this brush washer is amazing."

After hearing the words, everyone came together to watch it. Professor Han started it, and the others watched it together. Just like Mr. Huang's reaction, they all exclaimed while watching.

After they finished watching, Professor Han couldn't help but said, "It's really amazing. There are no problems with the enamel and tire quality, but it's too new. Why?"

Xu Hongchang smiled triumphantly after hearing the words: "I don't understand it, haha, it's right if I don't understand it!"

Huang Lao laughed and said, "Don't be a fool, tell me what's going on."

Xu Hongchang glanced at Pei Miao. Although he didn't say anything, he was already asking for Pei Miao's opinion, whether it was Pei Miao who said it himself or him.

Pei Miao raised her eyebrows and motioned for him to say.

Xu Hongchang began to explain: "This Dingyao brush washer looks like a new one, because this brush washer uses the hidden method."

"Survey and Concealment!?" Tree Dragon asked with confusion, "What is Concealment and Concealment?"

Xu Hongchang said: "In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to coat the surface of a certain object with a thin layer of inert metal film."

Shulong heard this and asked in surprise: "Porcelain is coated with metal?"

Xu Hongchang said with a smile: "Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. After coating this layer of metal film, it can protect the porcelain very well, but in this way, the porcelain will be distorted. When I first saw this pen When I washed it, I didn’t recognize that it was Ding kiln porcelain, because there was a layer of metal film blocking it, so when I looked at it, the enamel and tire quality were not like Ding kiln, so I couldn’t see it clearly.”

Pei Miao smiled and added: "It's also for this reason that I picked up the leak. When Teacher Xu discovered the hidden method, he immediately helped me prepare a potion to wash away the hidden method, so that this wash can be as good as it is now. The real look."

Here he intends to praise Xu Hongchang, saying that Xu Hongchang discovered the hidden method and even cracked the hidden method. Sure enough, several other experts praised Xu Hongchang. , even Professor Han gave Xu Hongchang a thumbs up without hesitation.

Of course, everyone praised Pei Miao for a while. After all, this is Ding Kiln. Shulong suddenly asked, "Pei Miao, how much did you pay for this Ding Kiln brush washer?"

Pei Miao said, "58 million."

"Big Leak!" Huang Lao couldn't help exclaiming, "I bought such an exquisite Ding Kiln brush washer for 58 yuan. This Ding Kiln brush washer is definitely the best in Ding Kiln. Being able to be a unit, it seems that the team of Pei Miao and Xu Hongchang will win today's match."

Xu Hongchang was overjoyed when he heard the words, that's how he is. Although he didn't pick up big leaks by himself, but Pei Miao is his teammate, it's fine if they win. Xu Hongchang hurriedly said: "Old Huang, Pei Miao still has a big treasure."

Everyone turned their attention to another box in front of Pei Miao, and Huang Lao smiled and asked, "Another big treasure? How does it compare with this Dingyao brush wash?"

Xu Hongchang smiled and said: "It's useless to say more, let's see it quickly."

"Yes, it's quick to see, Pei Miao, open it soon." Professor Tan couldn't wait to rub his hands.

"Okay." Pei Miao nodded, opened the box containing the Yi Shui inkstone, and took out the Yi Shui inkstone from the box.

"It's Yi Shui inkstone!" Seeing this, Mr. Chen said in surprise, "I haven't seen such a good-looking Yi Shui inkstone for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Huang Lao spread his hands and said, "Old Chen, you start first."

"Haha, then I'm not welcome." Old Chen carefully picked up the Yi Shui inkstone and began to look at it.

Others came to look at it one after another. After a while, Mr. Chen put the Yi Shui inkstone back on the table, pushed it in front of Mr. Huang, and said, "Take a look, Mr. Huang. I think there is nothing wrong with this Yi Shui inkstone."

"Well, let me take a look." Huang Lao picked up the Yi Shui inkstone and examined it carefully.

After looking at it for a while, Mr. Huang turned his head to look at Pei Miao, and said, "Xu Hongchang said that you are a big treasure, so it should not be as simple as Yi Shuiyan, right? Forgive my poor eyesight, I really didn't see anything else. "

Pei Miao said, "Pour some water in and you'll know." He took out a bottle of pure water and unscrewed the lid.

Upon hearing this, Huang Lao smiled curiously: "Oh? There is such a thing, let's try it." After speaking, he put Yi Shuiyan in front of Pei Miao.

Pei Miao poured some water into the Yishui Inkstone, and everyone hurried up to watch carefully. Pei Miao pointed to the edge, and said, "Look at the reflection here, in the indentation on the edge, there are characters, Manchu .”

After looking at it for a while, they all discovered the existence of Manchu, and they all exclaimed: "Ah, there are really words..."

Huang Lao said: "Give your beloved Bumbutai... Bumbutai?"

Huang Lao thought for a while, and suddenly exclaimed: "This is the inkstone of Empress Xiaozhuang!"

"Damn it! I remembered, it's really Empress Xiaozhuang!"

"Amazing! Empress Xiaozhuang's Yishui Inkstone! Big Leak!"

Mr. Huang continued to look at the words carefully, and said: "This handwriting... I seem to have a reflection, let me think about it..."

Xu Hongchang asked: "Dorgon or Huang Taiji?"

As he reminded, Huang Lao immediately clapped his hands: "I remembered, that's right, it's Dorgon's name!"
