Chapter 99 is worth a lot (ask for tickets!)

Chen Wenzhe looked at Li Qingtian, did this kid add ten to his luck today?
He strolled up to He Zun. Of course, when he got closer, he wouldn't continue staring at that piece of He Zun, but looked at other things on the booth.

Looking at it this way, he found that the owner of this store is really interesting, all the products he sells are real high imitations.

Copper pots, copper basins, copper wine cups, and more complicated ones include Li and Zun.

In addition to those, there is also a bronze chime bell that Chen Wenzhe can watch.

Apart from these, the rest are some Buddha statues, but they are all small pieces.

Picking up a copper pot casually, Chen Wenzhe's hand shook involuntarily, because he felt that the system was triggered.

This shows that this copper pot can inspire independent inheritance.

To be able to inspire independent inheritance, it must have a historical background, and must have one or more cutting-edge skills.

Also, his skill Touching Gold seems to have been activated, because as soon as he got it, he felt that it was a good thing.

This feeling has been tested many times in that underground tomb, and it is still very accurate.

Chen Wenzhe was a little speechless. Could it be that any bronze vessel in this stall is a good thing?
"Why? Little brother also likes copperware?"

The stall owner was a young man in his thirties. He was staring at Li Qingtian just now. He waited for Chen Wenzhe to squat down for a while before he opened his mouth.

"I like it, how do you sell this copper pot?"

"How much do you think it's worth?" the stall owner asked with a half-smile.

Seeing the stall owner's smile, Chen Wenzhe was taken aback, what's going on?Why is there a bit of irony?

"The craftsmanship of this copper pot is good, but it is not an antique. It looks like it has been made for at most [-] or [-] years!"

"Well, what you said is quite pertinent. Based on that technology, do you think I sell more than three thousand?"

Chen Wenzhe didn't know what to say, he could sell a teapot for three thousand, why couldn't he sell a copper pot with such a good craftsmanship for three thousand?

Unable to answer these words, Chen Wenzhe immediately put down the copper pot.

The boss didn't take it seriously either, he fiddled with the tea table beside him casually.

"Tea table?" Following the boss's movements, Chen Wenzhe saw what he placed the teapot on, which was a bronze drum.

Although most of it was covered by some tarpaulins, Chen Wenzhe still recognized it, it was indeed a bronze drum.

"It's really strange that drums can also be made of copper?"

"Haha, are you joking? Bronze drums are important percussion instruments for people in ancient my country to hold sacrifices, battles, rallies, and ceremonial activities. They are also storage containers and funeral objects."

Seeing the boss's contemptuous eyes, Chen Wenzhe finally blushed.

"This one is definitely an imitation, but the imitation craftsmanship is very exquisite. Judging from the decoration, it should be a craftsmanship handed down from the southern region."

The boss said a few words on his own, as if feeling bored, he sighed and stopped.

Chen Wenzhe found it very interesting, because he knew that the bronze drums in the south had a unique shape, elaborate decorations, and were used for a long time, even widely used by ethnic minorities.

This bronze drum is not small, with a height of fifty centimeters. Because it was placed beside the stall owner and covered by something, he only saw He Zun before, but he did not see the bronze drum covered by the stall owner. .

Looking at it now, Chen Wenzhe's gaze was immediately attracted, and it was the kind of attraction that attracted him fiercely.

The main reason is that the casting process of this bronze drum is even more exquisite than that of He Zun.

The size of this bronze drum is very large, it must be more than half a meter tall, its face diameter is close to one meter, and its diameter at breast height is slightly smaller, which must be one meter.

Such a big bronze drum would definitely attract more attention if the stall owner hadn’t used it as a table and put a lot of things on it.

Getting closer, Chen Wenzhe saw that the drum body was in the shape of a round pier, the drum head stretched out of the drum neck, and the drum chest was round and convex, with the largest diameter in the middle of the chest.

The chest and waist shrink slowly, and there are double flat ears on both sides of the chest.

The ears are wide at the base and narrow at the middle, each decorated with five sets of lines, simple and beautiful.

The bulging waist is in an anti-curved shape, with a convex edge dividing the waist and feet, and the feet are extravagant.

The edge of the drum is decorated with six frogs, arranged counterclockwise at equal intervals.

The frog is exquisite in shape, with round eyes and a sharp beak. The rear two feet merge into one, and the head stands upright.

This is a three-legged frog bronze drum with a plump body, decorated with concentric circles, double-lined semicircles, and lines, with clear decorations.

Bronze drums have always been characterized by exquisite decorations. The drum surface, chest, waist and feet of this drum are all decorated with complicated decorations.

The center of the drum is decorated with embossed ten-pointed sun patterns, and the central round cake obviously protrudes from the drum surface. The light is shot from the round cake like a needle, and the tail of every other awn has three prongs.

Seeing such complicated craftsmanship, some memories hidden in my mind emerged one by one.

In the basic manufacturing technique, there is also the manufacture of copper ware, but it is just some basic knowledge.

But now, the combination of these knowledges let Chen Wenzhe know that these decorations are indeed southern characteristics.

Just like his previous cognition, only the southern minorities use this kind of decoration.

Especially the bifurcation of the sun pattern on it, which is a characteristic of Cantonese drums, but it is rare.

There are too many decorations on such a large bronze drum.

In addition to the round cake in the center, there are also double-string patterns to divide the halo, a total of [-] halos, and the elongated needle penetrates three halos.

The twenty halos on the drum surface are respectively decorated with Qian Wen, cicada pattern, mat pattern, bird text, four-petal pattern, patterned bird pattern, etc.

Among them, the money patterns include four-out money patterns and Lianqian inscriptions, especially the Lianqian inscriptions, which are also in the form of four outflows. The four rays are filled with parallel short lines, connected and overlapped, and are part of each other's decoration. The structural layout is very good. delicate.

In addition, there are some patterns, which cannot be clearly identified due to patterned deformation and corrosion.

If some are composed of staggered heavy lines, or a combination of wave and spindle patterns;

Some are composed of rhombus, double-line and circle patterns, which look like cicada patterns, but have a unique charm.

Although the names of these decorations cannot be confirmed, their exquisite and ingenious outlines, as well as their rich imagination, are breathtaking.

This kind of thing is worth a lot even if it is an imitation, no wonder the stall owner put this thing XZ behind him and covered it with something.

"Do you look silly? This is the Lingshan Three-legged Frog Bronze Drum, an absolute masterpiece!"

The stall owner smiled when he found that Chen Wenzhe was staring at his bronze drum and couldn't move his eyes away.

It is absolutely impossible for the things on his stall to be sold cheaply. Although they are all imitation national treasures, the imitation craftsmanship is good!
"It is indeed a fine product. How much do you plan to sell this bronze drum?"

I have to say that Chen Wenzhe was really overwhelmed by the craftsmanship of this bronze drum.

He absolutely can't imagine, how did the ancients make such a complicated craft?
Also, the level of craftsmanship of modern people is really amazing!

I took another hard look at this thing, not to mention a real antique, even if it was imitated yesterday, it is still of high value.
