Shengshibaojian

During the whole process, Shen Qiu kept silent, paying attention to the argument between Zuo Xiaoqing and the two masters.

The Pao Master next to him couldn't help it anymore: "I say brother! Is this thing put together? As the owner of Xuanbaozhai, you have to say something!"

Shen Qiu then got up, coughed twice symbolically, the shop suddenly became quiet, and even the two masters couldn't help closing their mouths.

Shen Qiu got up and came to the pottery figurines of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After touching them, he felt the hot temperature emanating from the pottery figurines of the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to the degree of hotness, it can be concluded that it is a collection of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Qiu's mind came up with the picture of making this pottery figurine. There is no twists and turns about this pottery figurine. You can roughly see a complicated production process about it. First, design the features and expressions of the pottery figurine. , Then select the red clay at the foot of Laojun Mountain in Henan area, and then fire it in stages, for example, the body of the pottery figurine is fired once, and the link armor is fired again.

The two-time furnace firing is much more complicated than the one-time molding in the Great Qin Dynasty, which requires the firing master to master sufficient heat and endurance.

Including the final painting steps, there is no room for error. Even if there is a slight deviation in the dozens of steps throughout the process, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Such a complex firing process enables the terracotta warriors to maintain their color durability. Even after thousands of years, the three painted colors of the terracotta warriors themselves are still full, which is different from the terracotta warriors in the tomb of the Qin Emperor. When excavated, the color on the surface was oxidized in less than a short time, thus changing from painted color to black and white.

This is the most direct difference between primary molding and secondary segmental firing.

"Shen Qiu, you just said something! Xuan Baozhai can't let a little girl talk nonsense here!" Du Kangwei was so emotional that he insisted on explaining to Shen Qiu on the spot.

"Okay! Don't be too excited, the two masters. Xiaoqing is indeed not qualified enough. It has only been less than half a year since she started as an apprentice. Don't be as knowledgeable as her if you say something wrong. The two masters are not as good at discrimination. As her enlightenment master, I would like to apologize to you two, so now I tell you clearly that this terracotta figurine is indeed pieced together!"

Shen Qiu's previous words were still polite, but at the end he suddenly changed the subject and directly killed the two masters by surprise. The two masters were about to refute and Shen Qiu made a stop gesture to them.

"You want evidence, right? Come! Shen Qiu has the guts to teach you a lesson!"

Then Shen Qiu came to the pottery figurines: "Xiaoqing just mentioned two points, one is that there is an obvious color difference between the armor pieces on the pottery figurines, and the other is that the arc of the pottery figurines' jaws is not round enough, I will add two more points, pottery figurines The part below the figurine’s neck has different degrees of depression on the surface. It can be concluded that the part under the neck is pieced together! The other part is the nose of the terracotta figurine. If you step back three meters away, you can see that the nose is crooked. ! If such finished products were placed in the Eastern Han Dynasty, with this quality, the supervisors of the Han Dynasty would directly pull the craftsmen out and behead them!"

"It's a bunch of nonsense! This is just your one-sided statement, Shen Qiu! You must produce the most rigorous scientific evidence!"

"Don't worry! I haven't finished my words yet, the real can't be fake, and the fake can't pretend to be real." Shen Qiu reached out and touched the place where the nose of the pottery figurine connects: "Take this piece of ceramic nose as an example, the patchwork material It is an old material, and the glue connection of the ceramic tiles is also handled cleanly. Anyway, it is impossible to see the traces of glue with the naked eye! Even with an electronic magnifying glass, you may not be able to see anything!"

Xu Zhihai touched his nose involuntarily. This point was confirmed by Shen Qiu. The area of ​​the nose was indeed pieced together. It was pieced together from the fragments of another pottery figurine, which is equivalent to using two pieces of pottery. The fragments of the figurines were put together to form a complete pottery figurine.

It's just that what he never expected was that Shen Qiu could see all the patched areas clearly. One must know that Xu's family was a repair master hired from overseas with huge sums of money, using the most advanced seamless repair technology, It can be said that there is no trace of glue on the surface at all, and even the most famous "Carbon Fourteen" identification method in the modern antique world cannot find any flaws.

So here comes the problem!How did Shen Qiu see the traces of patchwork?

Shen Qiu calmly continued: "The fact that high-tech can't detect his flaws doesn't mean my methods can't detect them! Foreigners' gadgets look high-end, but they are actually worthless in front of our ancestors. !"

Shen Qiu asked Zuo Xiaoqing to bring out a basin of white flour water from the back room: "This is white flour water, and it is also a method used by our ancestors to identify the traces of patchwork. The so-called white flour water is actually a fusion of stone soda and white vinegar! Don't worry, both of you, white flour water It does not contain any chemical components and will not cause any damage to the terracotta figurines."

Shen Qiu then took out a clean white handkerchief from the counter, soaked it in white water, and then stuck it on the nose of the terracotta figurine: "The handkerchief will only react to the glue on the surface of ceramics and tiles. Glue, within 2 minutes, immediately let it show its feet! This is called "White Face Pulling Shadow" in the method of the ancestor Jianbao!"

Sure enough, just 1 minute after Shen Qiu stuck the handkerchief on, the nose of the terracotta figurine showed obvious signs of cracks. The huge nose area was repaired in four or five areas, and every trace of glue was completely exposed. come out.

How does the foreigner's seamless repair cover up the traces of glue? The old ancestor's identification method hits the nail on the head, directly revealing its original shape!

Both Xu Zhihai and Du Kangwei were dumbfounded at the same time, no matter how much they tried to argue, it was useless, the facts speak louder than words, and anyone who is not blind can see the cracked marks on the nose of the terracotta figurine.

This time it is true, the pottery figurines of the Eastern Han Dynasty are just a patchwork thing!

There was a sudden commotion inside and outside the shop: "It's really a patchwork! This Shen Qiu is really amazing! Adding stone soda, white vinegar, and a handkerchief can easily identify the patchwork traces of the pottery figurines? People can't be judged by their appearance, and sea water can't be measured! I didn't expect Shen Qiu to have such a skill in appraising treasures at such a young age! The Shen Qiu of Xuan Baozhai really lives up to his name!"

"The Xu family is even more awesome! Bringing a patchwork pottery figurine over here, trying to blackmail Xuan Baozhai for a sum of money, but Shen Qiu is not stupid! Now, everyone knows that this Eastern Han ceramic is a patchwork The Xu family is stealing chickens and losing money!"

"Thanks to the fact that Xu Zhihai and Du Kangwei are still the masters of Yanjing City, they actually play such a scheming trick. Shen Qiu is pregnant and let you in. Are you just playing this kind of shady trick?"

The eyes of the masses are discerning. The Xu family is usually very harmful, and everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak out. Lang, some people even told the two of them to get out of Yanjing City.

"Xu Zhihai don't embarrass yourself here! Get out! Go back to your Xu's antique shop!"

"Yanjing City is not something that your Xu family can cover the sky with with one hand! Not everyone can let you bully! Support this kind of scum to get out of Yanjing City! Don't harm Yanjing City!"

Shen Qiu also made a gesture of invitation to the two of them: "There is no need for the two masters to stay in Xuanbaozhai anymore, the first collection has exposed your character, and there is no need for the second one, so Please go back with your treasures, both of you! Sorry! Xuan Baozhai Shen Qiu has let you down this time!"

"Shen Qiu, you..." Xu Zhihai never expected that things would develop to this point. From the moment the two of them entered the door, the situation deviated from their expected trajectory. Shen Qiu easily found the flaw in the first collection, and even the second The two collections did not have the opportunity to appear.

"Okay! Shen Qiu! You are lucky this time!" Du Kangwei pointed at Shen Qiu and threatened: "But let me tell you, you can survive the first day of junior high school, but not the fifteenth day! See you in two days!"

"Wait a minute!"

Just when the two masters were about to leave, Shen Qiu went out and sent an extra sentence: "Xuanbaozhai has taken root in Yanjing City today. Although my shop is not as big as the Xu family's and not as complete as the Xu family's antique shop, but This can't change my opinion of the Xu Family Antique Store, one thing to say, the Xu Family Antique Store is indeed a piece of rubbish!"

"Shen Qiu, you...don't be too happy, don't forget about the "Master Appreciating Treasures" two days later! You just wait to be cleaned up!"
