Riding the wind of rebirth

"Then this apprentice will be beaten to death." Manager Fei said with a smile: "The details are not bad, but the most basic shape is a mess."

"I can't give you a high price for this bottle. I don't care how much you charge, Third Master. I can only give you four hundred."

"It's easy to say." The third master sighed: "It's better to give it to you, so as not to be taken away by others."

Speaking of which, counterfeiting techniques have existed since ancient times, and the most typical one is "replenishment".

The so-called mending is the process of repairing a piece of roughly intact porcelain, refiring it, and making it perfect again.

Those who can do this are also top forgers. They are perfect and flawless. This is the most difficult fake, but once it is successful, it is also the most difficult to identify in the industry.

Because this kind of porcelain generally has only a few stained seams that are fake, and the rest are all real.

Of course, life in later generations is rougher. Many counterfeiters only get a bottom with an inscription, and then use this bottom to fire a fake porcelain.

Because the base is an important sign of identification, when doing instrument identification, the identification material is also taken from the bottom where it does not affect the appearance, and a little debris is drilled. These happen to be true, so counterfeiters can even wear instruments. Get tricked.

The bottom of this large bottle is flawless, that is to say, the upper part can be cut off, and a fake large bottle can be made out of this bottom. Once the deception is successful, the value can be turned over by more than a hundred times.

The big bottle was placed on the ground, and Zhou Zhi and Manager Fei were squatting to watch. In order to study, Zhou Zhi also tilted the bottle down to see the perfect bottom line that the third master and Manager Fei were discussing.

Just as he tilted the bottle to a certain degree, Zhou Zhi suddenly discovered a miraculous sight, his heart skipped a beat and his hands trembled.

"Be careful with your elbows." Manager Fei joked with a smile: "Fortunately, this item has already been priced, otherwise if it is smashed, the price will be set by the third master."

"That's not the case, but 400 yuan is not a small amount, can't the family give so much New Year's money?"

"He's not afraid." Manager Fei was still joking: "The elders of his family don't charge more than four hundred for the New Year's Eve."

"I really like this bottle." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Especially these dolls, after being deformed, they look a bit... like cartoons in cartoons."

"Eh?" Manager Fei was amused when he saw it, "Hahaha, that's really interesting! What's the matter? Boss Zhou took care of the business once and asked me to sell it second-hand?"

"How much is the commission?"

"Really?" Manager Fei said with a smile: "Let's follow the rules of the auction, the commission is 40%, [-] yuan, and the [-] yuan will let Liu Er go to the town to order some dishes later, and our father will have a meal." .”

"Then it's settled like this. This bottle belongs to me now. I'll write you a note and pay when I get back to Shudu." Zhou Zhi opened his schoolbag and took out a notebook. He wrote a white note, tore it off and covered it. stamped his private seal: "Here, take it!"

"Come on! Thank you, Boss Zhou, for your patronage." Manager Fei couldn't help but laugh: "Master, we're opening now."

Mr. Liu brought over the white note written by Zhou Zhi: "Little friend's handwriting was tempered by an expert, and this seal is also made by an expert."

"Didn't you see the printing material of chicken blood jelly, Mr. Fei?" Manager Fei said incredulously, "That thing is worth a lot now."

After speaking, he added: "It's much more expensive than this bottle."

"I haven't researched new materials." The third master said lightly, even with a bit of disdain in his tone.

"It seems that the third master is playing with green materials." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "The people who play antiques are the same as my fourth uncle."

"That's right, Zhuhuang material was played by the descendants of the Ming Dynasty." The third master smiled: "You are young, but you are not an amateur."

"Oh, he's not a layman, and he just handed in some national treasures recently." Manager Fei said immediately.

"Oh? How do you say that?"

Manager Fei told the third master and Erwa the purpose of Zhou Zhi's visit this time, and the two changed their faces towards Zhou Zhi: "I can't imagine that little friend can do such a thing?!"

"It's not that exaggerated." Zhou Zhi hurriedly said, "It's just that I happen to know the appearance of the Jianyuan year number and the stamping parts. The real appraisal work was done by my fourth cousin. By the way, he also taught me the enlightenment of calligraphy. He gave me that seal too."

"So it's a family tradition..." The third master looked at his grandson helplessly, and sighed: "Young man, you are very good..."

"Then let's continue to look at things." Manager Fei took out the Jihong Tianqiu bottle and put it aside: "This is an object that opens the door, Liu Er, don't stick around, go and order food, the wine will be useless, I will There are in the car."

The third master waved to Liu Er: "Mr. Fei's heart, you can go."

After Liu Er left, the third master said to Manager Fei and Zhou Zhi, "My grandson, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn this subject well."

"Interest is the best teacher." Zhou Zhi said, "If the second brother is really not interested, why not do something else as soon as possible."

"Is opening a restaurant really better than appreciating?" The third master's shrewd expression finally showed confusion: "Or am I delaying the child?"

"What's the education background of the second brother?" Zhou Zhi asked, "If this line of work is not supported by Chinese culture, it will be very difficult..."

"Education..." The third master couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "My ancestors valued education, and several schools have been built. Forget it...you can continue to read things."

It should be said that Mr. Liu's vision is quite strong, and the items in the box, whether they are porcelain or miscellaneous items, are very distinctive.

In addition to a few official kiln wares with wide-open doors, some fine folk kilns are also worth seeing.

For example, a Daoguang blue-and-white baby drama plate with a large window, depicting a group of children playing the game of eagle catching chickens, each with vivid expressions and smart gestures. The undulating rhythm is a calligraphy feature unique to literati paintings. Now I can see it on a piece of folk kiln porcelain, which makes Zhou Zhi love it.

This thing is not big, it only needs 100 yuan to get it, and Zhou Zhi is not polite. The old rule is that the manager asks the price, and he pays [-]% commission to accept it.

While admiring the utensils, accepting the things I like, and chatting with the third master, I realized that the third master was also from a private school when he was young, and the master of studying abroad.

However, due to the reasons of the times, it was not able to be used in the end. Even the grandson's reading was affected, and he ended up in the garbage station to collect the trash.

However, people are resilient. The garbage station often receives a lot of old items. The third master has a wink, so he asks his grandson to collect the good things and sell them. In the end, he meets Manager Fei who comes to collect the goods. Made friendship.

During the conversation, Mr. Liu became confused: "Xiaoyou Zhou seems to be from a private school. Is there still a private school these days?"

"There are no more private schools." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "However, there are still family studies. I was a bit naughty when I was young, so my father sent me to my fourth cousin to take care of me. I also like it, so I was introduced to it. "

The third master couldn't help sighing: "This family has to meet the heirs. If the children are not strong, it's useless for the adults to be anxious."

"Grandpa, now is not the time for 'everything is inferior, only studies are high'. If the second brother is interested in cooking, then he can go to the capital of Sichuan to study, and after he finishes his training, he can win a small restaurant, and he can live and work in peace."

"That's actually enough."
