Live Jianbao: Baoyou, you are very wrong

Chapter 537 The Gold Medal of the Universal Congress, the Century-old Ghost Ball

"Do you want to give yourself an identity?"

Ning Fan opened his mouth and asked questions without beginning or end.

All the friends were stunned.

Wasn't he talking about the jade script of Confucius in front of him? Why did he suddenly talk about something else?

The other Baoyou who didn't react were also blank.

Wang Duoyu and Ban Liangjin's eyes lit up.

"Master Ning, you mean?"

Seeing that Xu Yue hadn't reacted yet, Ning Fan simply spoke more openly.

"You want to whitewash the image at home, right?"

"You...Master Ning, can I ask how you know this?"

Xu Yue was not calm anymore.

Even if no one around him has heard of this matter, Ning Fan would know about it, which is really abnormal.

"Is it abnormal?"

Ning Fan looked at Xu Yue, and tapped the table with his fingertips.

"If you hadn't given such a big gift, I wouldn't have guessed it."

"After all, in these years, even close relatives may not give so much money."

"But you just gave it to me. What you are asking for is to solve the problem of buying and selling an antique city."

"It's too small to allow me to think too much."

Ning Fan looked into the distance.

"After this investigation, I found out what happened back then. That person was also surnamed Xu, and his face was too similar to yours."

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Everyone was completely stunned, they didn't expect to be able to eat melons like this.

Could it be that the matter just now is not over yet?
But in the next second, Ning Fan directly closed the live broadcast room without leaving a voice for them.

When he reappeared, Xu Yue had disappeared, only Ning Fan was sitting there.

"City Master Xu is going to do something, and he will be back soon. Let's take a look at the competition between the two."

"what?"

Wang Duoyu was stunned in place.

When he saw Ning Fan chatting with Xu Yue, he finally thought that his competition was coming to an end.

I didn't expect that the first thing to do was to deal with my own affairs.

Sun Ming didn't have any attitude, and nodded to indicate that he could start anytime.

Wang Duoyu could only face bitterly.

"It's simpler. For half an hour, each person goes to pick up three missing items and comes back. When we come back, we will look at the items on the spot. At that time, we can see the strength and weakness at a glance."

Ning Fan said the rules, and asked the two to start the live broadcast to prevent them from cheating.

After all, there are quite a few members of the Wang family in Lu Province, so it is entirely possible to really take the opportunity to make some small moves.

It's impossible for me to find someone to watch them, and the live broadcast can just be supervised, and Baoyou can give feedback on the spot without dead ends.

The two took the budget and went out to look for it.

Friends just thought of one thing.

"Can you find really good things here?"

"do not know."

Ning Fan shook his head decisively.

He didn't look at it just now, but he just felt that there are still a few good things here. As for whether he can find them, it depends on the abilities of the two of them.

But he didn't plan to be idle during this time, just to see if the treasure friends had any weird things to appraise.

As soon as the words were finished, there were countless applications in the barrage.

"Master Ning, look at me, look at me! I have a treasure here! You have never seen it before!"

A big and white barrage floated by, with a picture on it.

With just one glance, treasure friends really can't move away.

They really have never seen such a baby.

A milky white sphere about the size of an adult's fist, carved with exquisite floral patterns.

There are layers upon layers inside, and at first glance, there are more than a dozen layers.

"Ghost work ball!"

The treasure friends all recognize this thing.

The items in the first batch of intangible cultural heritage protection lists in the Xia Kingdom appeared as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties, but limited by the craftsmanship, there were only two or three layers at that time.

After the development of two or three dynasties, starting from the Qing Dynasty, the craftsmanship of ivory carving ghost balls exploded, and more than ten layers of ghost balls began to appear.

And by the end of the Qing Dynasty, this number of layers surpassed the accumulation of precipitation in the past hundreds of years, directly breaking through thirty or forty layers.

At the World Expo in 1915, Weng Zhao, a master of ivory carving in the Xia Kingdom, even produced a 24-layer ivory ghost ball to participate in the exhibition, and won the gold medal in one fell swoop.

Friends of Bao still know about this past, I added by the way.

"Actually, there was something else going on at the time."

"Back then at the World Expo, craftsmen from the Eastern Kingdom also brought a guigong ball, which had [-] floors, six floors more than our Xia Kingdom's."

The treasure friends were puzzled when they heard this.

"How is it possible? There is definitely a problem!"

"This is not a backward craft, but the most popular craft of ivory carving ghost ball at that time, and it is impossible to pass it on to outsiders."

"That is to say, how did Dongyang Country research this? It's unscientific!"

Friends also find it strange.

It is not uncommon for ghost work balls to be spread to Dongyang Kingdom, but without anyone to help guide them, it is still impossible for their own research to surpass the accumulation of Xia Kingdom for so many years.

After all, this is not a simple craft that can be seen at first glance, but requires tools and a full set of craftsmanship.

The treasure friends do not believe that the people of the Eastern Kingdom can catch up with the precipitation of the Xia Kingdom for hundreds of years in a few decades.

"There's definitely something wrong here!"

"Didn't you check how they did it?"

"Is the protest still effective now?"

The treasure friends were very excited. On the bullet screen, people who knew the inside story spoke slowly.

"Don't worry, it will be resolved at that time."

"Representative Xia Guo felt that something was wrong at the time, and asked the organizer of the meeting to boil two ghost balls in boiling water at the same time."

"As a result, Dongyang Kingdom's balls were directly split into dozens of pieces, exposing the fact that their ghost balls are glued together."

"And our Xia Kingdom's ghost work ball is intact."

Bao friends can be relieved when they see this.

If this honor really falls into the hands of Dongyang Country, they will be furious.

"For the same thing, the other side has higher layers and is more delicate. The gold medal was originally awarded to Dongyang Country, but because of the last cooking, it still went to Xia Country."

"What about the ghost ball?"

My friends suddenly thought of this question.

Everything in the World Expo can be traded. It makes no sense that this item will be brought back after winning the gold medal, right?
"sold."

Tang Qisheng also knew this history, so he directly told Baoyou the answer.

"At the end of the World Expo, someone bought this ghost ball at a high price. It's a pity that we never got to see it again."

"It's not a pity." Ning Fan smiled slightly.

"The one in front of you is the ghost ball that won the gold medal at the World Expo you mentioned."

After Ning Fan finished speaking, the live broadcast room became quiet again.

"I go!"

"real or fake?"

"Master Ning, you can't lie to us!"

"This is the ghost ball? It's a bit too white, isn't it?"

"Big and white?"

Ning Fan chuckled lightly, not revealing what was going on in Baoyou's minds.

"More than 100 years have passed, and it is normal for ivory to turn yellow due to improper maintenance, and collectors have different hobbies."

"Some people like things to look new, and some people like to have a little trace of time."

"The original owner of this ivory ball must have been playing with it for a long time, and after playing with the patina, he traded it to a new person. Only then did he clean it, and only then did he have such half-old, half-new traces."
