Shen Qiu and Su Qiuhan got up at the same time.

I was really attracted by the signboard in front of me.

First of all, I was frightened by the battle of this signboard. It is about [-] meters long and [-] centimeters wide, but it was carried up by six strong bodyguards, and these six bodyguards were all full. His head was sweating profusely, obviously the weight of this long signboard was not light.

According to Shen Qiu's visual inspection, it weighs at least 1000 to two hundred catties.

The whole signboard is divided into two areas, the first is the black base made of stainless steel, and a few chic flying grasses are plated on the black base, the light of the treasure!The regular script of Huaxia is still used.

From the hard work of these bodyguards, it can be seen that the material of fine steel should be solid, otherwise these strong bodyguards would not be tired like this.

"Wang Shoutao! It's Wang Shoutao's work!"

Su Qiuhan recognized the handwriting of this signboard at the first sight: "The most famous calligrapher in Jiangnan Province in the late Qing Dynasty! Hongshan Museum has collected two of his works! I really didn't expect that he also left some in Ridao. Works! What a surprise!"

Hao Er nodded and gave Su Qiuhan a thumbs up: "Miss Su is indeed a professional, she recognized Wang Shoutao's works at a glance."

Su Qiuhan shook his head and said, "Mr. Haoer, don't laugh at me. There is a signature under the signboard. Wang Chaofeng is exactly the name of Master Wang Shoutao. It is a rare master of cursive script in the late Qing Dynasty. There is no trace of sloppiness, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the first cursive script in the Qing Dynasty! When the Empress Dowager Cixi was [-]th birthday in her later years, she once asked him to inscribe the word "Shou", and it is still in the Palace Museum! "

Koji got up and went to the signboard and explained: "Yes, this signboard is of extraordinary significance. Apart from the inscriptions from Qing Dynasty calligraphers, this signboard is also a priceless treasure!"

"First of all, this signboard has been hanging in the lobby of the original shop for nearly 100 years. As the earliest antique shop in Ridao, it has accompanied generation after generation of Ridao people to grow up. The other is the workmanship of this signboard. It is said that it was more than 300 years ago. It took people six months to complete it, and it took five months to polish the fine steel background alone, which cost 2 taels of silver at the time!"

"And after our group acquired the store, many people said that this signboard is fake! It looks like a signboard from more than 100 years ago, but it is actually a processing accessory of modern industry. For this reason, we found many related The master helped to identify, and finally showed two different opinions."

"Some people believe that it is genuine because this signboard has been under our noses from the beginning to the end, and the outline it presents has not changed. If it is fake, how can it not be discovered!"

"Some people also think that this signboard is polished with a very high degree of fineness. You can see that the precision of this fine steel polishing can almost see the silhouette of a person. This kind of polishing technology was not available in ancient times, because the ancient manual polishing technology It is far from reaching this error value!"

"Master Shen Qiu, this is what I am most concerned about, because our new store will be officially opened soon, and we will hang this copper signboard in the middle of the main hall by then. If you don’t want to hang it in the main hall, it will become the laughing stock of everyone, but it will lose the reputation and prestige of our family!”

"Some time ago, a newspaper in Ridao also reported on this signboard, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on us. We are not sure whether to hang the signboard or not. We may not pay attention to it. One wrong step may lead to big disasters. wrong!"

Shen Qiu nodded to express his understanding. The bigger the antique shop, the more it cares about its reputation. This antique shop of the Nagano family will soon become the largest antique shop in Dajing City, and its reputation gains and losses are no small matter.

At the same time, this signboard has become a hot potato. If you lose this signboard, others will complain about abandoning traditional culture. If you hang up a fake, then this antique shop will be waiting to close down.

"Mr. Hao Er, don't worry, I'll help you find it..." Shen Qiu stretched out his hand to touch the huge signboard, at first he felt a warm heat, and then the fragments of memories about this signboard continued. Flickering in my mind.

Shen Qiu saw that Master Wang Shoutao received the warm invitation from the boss of Ridao, and traveled across the sea from Yanjing to Dajing City to write congratulatory inscriptions for the boss's antique shop. Although these two people are not from the same country, they But an extraordinary transnational friendship was established.

The owner of Ridao himself liked Wang Shoutao's works very much, but the young Wang Shoutao had a good handwriting, but he was not recognized by others, so the owner of Ridao recommended it to Zhao Yonghui, the admiral of Yangcheng Water Gate who was an official in the imperial court. .

After being recommended by Zhao Yonghui, Wang Shoutao's handwriting was quickly recognized by many officials of the same dynasty, and many officials even went to Wang Shoutao's home to ask for calligraphy. The emperor praised his calligraphy, and the Empress Dowager Cixi invited him to mention the word "Shou" on her [-]th birthday.

It can be said that without the owner of Ridao, Wang Shoutao would not be successful. When he learned that a friend opened an antique shop in Dajing City, he did not hesitate to come across the ocean to Dajing City to write inscriptions for his friend. Say respect.

I am afraid that Wang Shoutao at that time would not have imagined that the signboard he inscribed had experienced ups and downs in Ridao for more than 100 years, and thus became a century-old store in Ridao. Over the past 100 years, it has grown to hundreds of millions of dollars. asset.

"Mr. Koji! I can now tell you responsibly that your signboard is an authentic piece!"

"Really? Master Shen Qiu? Is what you said true?"

"Mr. Koji, don't rush to be happy. This signboard is an authentic piece, but it is also an accessory of modern industry."

"Ah? An accessory of modern industry? Master Shen Qiu? Is this an authentic work or a fake! I'm a little confused by what you've said!"

Su Qiuhan's pretty face was also full of doubts: "Shen Qiu, I'm quite confused too, does this signboard have any special meaning?"

"Mr. Koji, this has something to do with Hijima's iron-making technology. The length is no problem! At that time, the maximum limit of iron-making equipment was 28 meters. Yours is less than three meters, no problem at all, and the width is also no problem. But the thickness is another matter! The thickness of this signboard is estimated to be [-] centimeters thick! This is an exaggeration!"

"In the troubled times of Japan and the island, the industrial production technology is not as good as that of the Anglo-American method. The thickness of the steelmaking has only exceeded 15 centimeters, so the result is self-evident!"

"Master Shen Qiu! I understand! You mean that this jet-black fine steel was produced in post-production, and the four inscriptions on the surface are the authentic works of Master Wang Shoutao? Can you understand it that way?"

Shen Qiu still shook his head and said: "Wrong, Mr. Koji! Although there was no way to form such a thick thickness at one time, there are other ways to refine this material. How to refine it? First create such an outline of the iron frame, four Weld it firmly with iron plates around it, pour molten iron into the shelf, and fill the iron frame in the shortest time!"

"This is like processing a metal bottle first, and then pouring molten iron into the bottle. After the iron solidifies, the material will come out after a little polishing!"

"This is also a smelting method that was a last resort in the past. This method of iron smelting has a drawback. The physical reason of thermal expansion and contraction will make the entire outline shrink in the later stage, which has caused a serious consequence. The four on the surface A large copper character will also fall off and deform accordingly... The owner of the shop will naturally repair it, so that there will be traces of modern restoration on the surface!"

"That's why I say it's an authentic piece, and it's also a restoration made with modern technology! Overall, there's nothing wrong with hanging it up!"

Hao Er sighed again and again: "Awesome, amazing! You are worthy of being the master of the national teacher list! Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books! You, a foreigner, know more about Rishima's ironmaking technology than I do. I have to say, Master Shen Qiu, you learned Bao's technology is really amazing!"

"Mr. Koji, you're welcome, we don't know each other without a fight! I'll trouble you if I have a chance in the future!"

Boom!

At this time, the door of the room was suddenly knocked open, and a bodyguard shouted in panic: "Something happened, something happened! Missy is sick!"
