Chapter 173
Su Bai picked up the chicken bowl cup, which was the same size as a thirty-five-cent wine cup, and looked at it carefully.

Gu Demei stood aside, very nervous.

The previous three items were all found to have problems by Su Bai, but now this one is really the treasure of the store.

Although I know it is not as good as the Eight-Edged Guaner Zun of Ge Kiln Porcelain, it cannot be the most backward.

He has blocked the face of the entire Qingxuan Tower.

Shopkeeper Gu couldn't help but said: "Miss Su, this is a rare treasure that is rare to see."

[He is here, and he is here again with rare treasures. 】

[Every time Shopkeeper Gu says this, I always feel like I’m about to overturn. 】

[Shopkeeper Gu: Are you polite? 】

[The color of Chenghua Doucai is very beautiful, and the glaze painting is very vivid. 】

Yu Qingqian: ["Doucai" porcelain makes good use of the unique underglaze blue and white of the Chenghua period as outlines, and then fills the glaze with gorgeous red, green, yellow, purple and other colors, and then enters the kiln and undergoes low temperature After the second firing, the colorful paintings complement each other, making the glaze painting very vivid, just like the real thing. 】

Su Bai read it over and replied to Gu Demei, "Extensive mouth, extremely thin lip rim, flat bottom, the characteristics of a chicken cup."

"The thin body is white and fine, and the glaze is soft, gentle and elegant yellow, moist and dense without a trace of brown eyes. The inside of the cup is smooth, but the outer wall is painted with a delicate and elegant mountain peony and a jumping hen. .”

"The peony flowers and leaves are densely arranged and beautifully arranged, and the chicks are round and cute, all showing a joyful and joyful attitude with wings spread. One of the two roosters is crowing, and the other is looking back at the hens looking for food. The whole group of pictures is lively and lively."

She turned the cup over and looked at the bottom.

At the bottom is a blue and white double-framed six-character regular script inscription "Ming Dynasty Chenghua Year System". The shape is square, the strokes are straight and extremely clear.

"It is indeed a rare Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup." Su Bai said with a smile.

As she spoke, information about the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup appeared in front of her eyes:
[Item: Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup]

【Material: Ceramic】

[Era: Ming Dynasty]

【describe:
Zhu Ming was not far away from here, but he still saw it when he was Xuancheng Yaju.

The beauty of Hanmang is generally regarded as rare, and the chicken vat is the most precious.

The peonies are beautiful, the spring breeze is gentle, and the hens and roosters are in full bloom.

The golden tail and the iron distance are hidden with the head held high, and the anger is like hearing Jia Chang's call.

Good work and material status are inexhaustible, and the trend of becoming more and more popular changes at any time.

I am only concerned about Qi Shi, and I dare not delay An Xing Yiyan. 】

[Anecdote: Emperor Chenghua was keen on calligraphy and painting. He was very moved when he saw the heartwarming scene of a hen and a few chicks foraging for food, and came up with the wish to make a colorful chicken jar cup...]

[Value: 3000 million yuan (successfully restored...)]

Successfully repaired? !
Su Bai frowned slightly and carefully observed the Doucai Chicken Cup in his hand again.

Seeing Su Bai's expression, the pride that had been on Shopkeeper Gu's face instantly froze. He asked tremblingly: "Ms. Su... Miss Su, what's wrong?"

Everyone looked at Su Bai, especially Zhao Liguo, who couldn't hide his smile and said, "What's wrong with Mr. Gu today? The seniors are all here, so you're so reluctant to give out good things?"

The words seemed to have already sentenced the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup to death.

Gu Demei was so angry that she almost lost her breath. She pointed at Zhao Liguo and said coldly: "What are you talking nonsense about? Miss Su just said that this is the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup. That's right."

Zhao Liguo said "Oh", "Miss Su doesn't seem to be very sure now."

"Who said I wasn't sure?" Su Bai's voice suddenly sounded.

Gu Demei seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after Su Bai's words.

Zhao Liguo was slightly disappointed and said, "I just saw Miss Su frowning, so I just misunderstood."

Su Bai looked at Gu Demei and asked, "Shopkeeper Gu, has this Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup been repaired?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect Miss Su to see it." Shopkeeper Gu didn't shy away from it.

It is normal for these things to have defects. After all, they have been through many changes over the years.

Su Bai smiled and said: "The person who repaired it is very skilled. I didn't notice it at first. This person's craftsmanship has maintained the value of this chicken vat cup."

You know, porcelain is fragile and easily broken, and it is very difficult to repair.

Only craftsmen with excellent skills can repair it to a state that cannot be found without careful observation. What's more, it requires the use of instruments to see it.

The person who repaired this Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup is definitely the latter.

Gu Demei nodded and said: "That man is the repair master specially hired by Qingxuan House. The things produced by Qingxuan House are absolutely high-quality."

[Shopkeeper Gu is a little carried away. 】

[Shopkeeper, why don’t you think about it a little further, uh... have you remembered those three things? 】

[Shopkeeper Gu: Don’t say it, I won’t listen. 】

[Stop talking, kiss me. 】

[Help, the one who said he kissed me, the picture in my mind is too eye-catching. 】

[Same, I'm going to wash my eyes. 】

[Having too much imagination is also a pain. 】

Yu Qingqian: […]

Soon, the last item left in the small exhibition was the hollow plum blossom amphorae from Zhenbaolou.

Zhao Liguo smiled and said, "I'm not saying that. Everyone should know that Chai kiln porcelain is even rarer than Ge kiln porcelain."

What he said was not a lie. Indeed, Chai kiln porcelain is better than Ge kiln porcelain.

The porcelain produced by the firewood kiln was moist, delicate and had tiny flakes, which was the best among all the kilns at that time.

However, the products of the wood kiln are limited and the porcelain pieces are thin, so the wood kiln wares handed down from ancient times are rarely seen in whole form, and most of them are fragments.

Since firewood kilns only existed for a short time and are very rare, there was once a saying in the antique industry that "a piece of firewood is worth a thousand gold".

It can be said that it is very rare to be as perfect as the one in Zhenbaolou.

Several old people could no longer hold it any longer.

It used to be Ge Kiln Porcelain, but now it is Chai Kiln. The harvest for a few people today is really quite big.

Unexpectedly, there was a firewood kiln in Zhenbao Building. They were waiting for this moment and couldn't wait to walk up.

When Su Bai saw several elderly people coming up, he wisely gave up his position.

Mr. Xu carefully took it out from the box, and Mr. Xu's appearance was clearly reflected on the glaze of the porcelain bottle.

He slowed down his movements, and the light shone through the ultra-thin porcelain. The overall azure color of the bottle seemed to be glowing, making people unable to take their eyes away from it.

[Look at the bottle carefully, it’s absolutely beautiful. 】

[I declare that this is the best today. 】

[The wisdom and skills of the ancients are really invincible, screenshots. 】

[See how carefully Mr. Xu holds it. I'm afraid this bottle will break with just a pinch, right? 】

Yu Qingqian: [Chai kiln porcelain is extremely easy to break.Chai kiln porcelain is famous for its thinness. The thinnest fragments of Chai kiln porcelain that have survived to date are as thick as paper. Chai kiln porcelain is made of fine materials. There are tiny flakes on the glaze when it is fired. You can see the sun clearly when facing the sun. The outline of the wood kiln is extremely difficult to preserve. 】

[In the past, when the firewood kilns unearthed from tombs were excavated, they were basically a pile of fragments. There is a saying in the antique world that "no firewood kilns have been handed down from generation to generation." 】

Mr. Xu couldn't help but curl his fingers and flick the porcelain bottle gently.

A "ding" sound like an instrument came from the mouth of the porcelain bottle, with a slight trembling aftertaste, which was clear and sweet.

Porcelain, like percussion instruments, will vibrate and make sounds when struck by external forces. Porcelain of different textures will make different sounds when struck. Some masters can even use a pair of chopsticks to hit different porcelains to play a song. Complete tune.

Due to the thin wall of Chai kiln porcelain, the sound it makes when struck is clearer and clearer. Just like the flick played by Mr. Xu just now, it will make a sweet sound similar to a musical instrument.

Mr. Zhang looked at Mr. Xu nervously and reminded him softly: "Old Xu, please be gentle, this is a wood kiln."

If you're not careful, it might break.

Mr. Xu finally carefully put the hollow plum blossom amphora in his hand back into the box and said with a smile: "As blue as the sky, as thin as paper, as bright as a mirror, and as loud as a rock, it is indeed well-deserved."

Mr. Xu's evaluation means that he has confirmed that this bottle is genuine wood kiln porcelain.

The other people also took turns to look at it, and they admired the exquisiteness of Chai Kiln porcelain.

Zhao Liguo was very useful.

It seems that this small exhibition is the first in his treasure building.

As long as today's news is released a little bit, no one in Liulichang can compare with Zhenbaolou.

"Miss Su, you can also go and take a look." Zhao Liguo said with a smile.

Su Bai nodded, stepped forward, and very carefully took out the plum blossom amphora.

Su Bai first turned the bottle mouth towards himself. From this angle, it was easy to see the texture of the bottle mouth. It was indeed very thin, but not as thin as paper.

The thinner the porcelain tire is, the more skill it takes to make it. This is better for small pots, but it is especially difficult to make large pots. The main reason is that the thin tire wall cannot bear the weight of the tire mud itself.

Su Bai picked up the bottle and held it up to the light, carefully observing the enamel on the inner wall of the bottle mouth.

The inner glaze of porcelain is the most easily overlooked, and it also requires the most skill of the maker. Some minor flaws can easily be covered up by the beauty of the outer glaze of the porcelain.

Holding this plum blossom amphora, Su Bai looked at it for more than ten minutes. Regardless of the bottle mouth, inner glaze, outer glaze, shape, opening, sound quality, and base model, this plum blossom amphora was They are all flawless, almost perfect.

But Su Bai always felt that something was a little strange.

"Xiao Su, is something wrong?" Mr. Tang on the side saw Su Bai in a daze and couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Su Bai recovered from his thoughts and smiled at Mr. Tang: "Sorry, I got distracted."

"If Miss Su sees something, just tell her." Zhao Liguo said with a smile.

Su Bai did not reply. He held the amphora in his hand and silently recited the test in his mind.

The next moment, the information about the amphora appeared in front of Su Bai's eyes.

After waiting for a long time, Su Bai didn't speak.

Zhao Liguo was not angry, and smiled and said: "Now that all the seniors have finished reading, there should be some results for today's small competition, right?"

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Demei and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What are you talking about?" Gu Demei cursed secretly in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She asked the waiter to bring in paper and pens and distribute them to the teachers.

Just when several old people were about to comment, Su Bai suddenly said, "The hollow plum blossom amphora from the firewood kiln is fake."

Su Bai's words were like a bomb dropped into the calm lake, causing a turbulent wave.

"fake?"

"how is this possible?"

Everyone was shocked and completely stunned.

Zhao Liguo was the first to react after being stunned.

He was calm and did not directly question or criticize Su Bai's judgment. Instead, he asked with a smile: "Miss Su, you said it was false. Do you have any evidence? Some things cannot be said casually."

Su Bai looked at the information in front of him, picked up the amphora again, and checked it while comparing it.

[Item: Hollow Plum Blossom Amphora]

【Material: Ceramic】

[Era: Republic of China]

[Description: What is true is always true, what is false can never become true. 】

[Story: passed down for three generations, superb skills, eternal god in the high imitation world! ! ! 】

[Value: 20 million. 】

In fact, Su Bai didn't find any flaw, but there was absolutely no problem with the information given by the system.

"Xiao Su, did you see something?" Mr. Xu did not get angry because Su Bai overturned his decision, but asked calmly.

Su Bai put down the hollow plum blossom amphorae again, looked at Mr. Xu and others, and said slowly: "Dear teachers, porcelain has always been the most difficult category of antiques to authenticate. There have been imitations in official and private kilns in all dynasties. According to the habits of famous porcelain from the previous dynasties, some imitations of high-quality porcelain have even surpassed the imitation porcelain of the previous dynasty, and modern testing methods are helpless in the identification of porcelain."

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Gu felt like he had been stabbed in the knee.No.

The Cong-style porcelain vase made from broken porcelain was a pain he would never be able to bear.

He was still holding on to luck before, and when no one noticed, he lightly touched the table with the Cong-style porcelain vase.

Just like Su Bai said, the Cong-style porcelain bottle fell to the right and was completely unstable.

If it weren't for his quick hands and quick eyes, the Cong-style porcelain bottle would have been broken.

That's just his obsession. If it's broken, it's broken. It's not worth much money.

Su Bai continued: "Dating porcelain has always been a difficult problem. It relies on the appraiser's accumulated experience, scrutinizing various aspects such as the shape, decoration, glaze color, and body quality, and comparing it with the characteristics of porcelain from major kilns in various dynasties. , from which the relevant information of this piece of porcelain can be obtained for judgment."

Mr. Xu and the others nodded, Su Bai was right.

Not to mention a newcomer like her, there are many experts in the industry who have noticed her, but she is just too embarrassed to say it out loud, so she swallows it silently.

"It may be excusable for one person to be wrong, but today it was appraised by six seniors. Experts from our Zhenbao Building have also appraised it earlier. There can be no problem." Zhao Liguo said.

"It's really hard to see. I almost got an eyeball just now."

"Miss Su, please stop showing off." Shopkeeper Gu said anxiously.

Su Bai nodded, "If I'm not wrong, this is actually an old thing with a new glaze, but his skills are more exquisite."

[Are they also made from broken porcelain pieces? 】

[Are the counterfeiters too awesome? 】

[But this amphora is already so thin, it won’t be transparent if it needs to be re-glazed. 】

Yu Qingqian: [Yes, it is difficult to re-glaze the bottle, but there is a possibility that it is using the plain embryo that was handed down from that time. 】

The so-called plain embryo refers to the pottery embryo before the blue and white porcelain, doucai porcelain, and multicolored porcelain are painted and glazed.In ancient kilns, it is often found that this kind of ancient plain porcelain has not been used for some reason and has been handed down.

Some clever counterfeiters will use these plain embryos to make a fuss, reglaze and fire porcelain, and let many experts see it.This kind of thing is no longer news in the antique industry.

Su Bai continued: "Modern technology will be more precise in temperature control. If a plain embryo is used, it is not impossible to successfully glaze and fire it."

"Impossible, this thing of mine cannot be remade from a plain embryo." Zhao Liguo roared: "If it is remade from a plain embryo, the color of the glaze will not be azure..."

Su Bai said: "You don't believe it, should we make a bet?"

Zhao Liguo was stunned for a moment and suppressed the anger in his heart, "What are you betting on?"

Su Bai raised the corners of his lips and said slowly: "If it is really fired from a plain embryo, you can see it from the middle of the porcelain pieces."

Zhao Liguo said coldly, "Do you want to smash this bottle?"

Su Bai nodded, "If this bottle is real after breaking it open, I will buy this amphorae at the market price. If it is fake, it will prove that I am right."

[What I’m curious about is, what is the market price of this authentic amphora? 】

[I checked it out, it’s definitely hundreds of millions. 】

【! ! ! !Is Su Shen playing so big? 】

[If you don’t play, it’s hundreds of millions~~~~]

Zhao Liguo snorted coldly, "Do you know the estimated price of Chaiyao's plum blossom amphora? Can you afford it?"

Mr. Xu and others also frowned slightly and looked at Mr. Tang, "Are you, my disciple, too much?"

"Let's say at least hundreds of millions. Even the few of us should be able to chip in."

Mr. Tang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Su has the money."

?

It was the turn of several people to be shocked, "Are you, my apprentice, still a rich second generation?"

Mr. Tang remained mysterious, "Xiao Su is not my apprentice, nor is he a rich second generation. You will know soon."

Mr. Xu just frowned, "If Xiao Su made a mistake, wouldn't it be a pity? That's a firewood kiln."

Zhao Liguo was secretly surprised when he listened to the words of several seniors. He did not expect that Su Bai could come up with such a large sum of money.

It seems that Su Bai's background is not simple.

Zhao Liguo's mind immediately came to life.

It's not impossible to make a bet. If Su Bai really lost, it would be considered a mistake and he owed himself a favor.

He would never think that the amphora was fake.

Zhao Liguo replied: "Okay, then I would like to take a gamble with Miss Su."

There were several elderly people present, and Su Bai and Zhao Liguo were not afraid of regrets from both parties, so they did not sign any contract.

Shopkeeper Gu had already sent someone in with a hammer.

Mr. Xu took the awl, still a little distressed, "Are you sure you want to smash it?"

Su Bai and Zhao Liguo nodded, "Smash it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Xu did not hesitate, he gently hammered down, and the Chai Kiln hollow plum blossom amphora broke into pieces on the ground.

Everyone came together to see if it was true.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the center of the broken porcelain piece.

The blood on Zhao Liguo's face faded instantly, his face turned pale, and he couldn't even stand still.

is fake.

It turned out to be fake.

After some years, the plain embryo has already settled, but the glaze and the embryo cannot fit so well.

Because, this was indeed painted and fired later.

"I didn't expect that this time it would be us old guys who got punched in the eyes." Mr. Xu looked at Su Bai and sighed.

Pan Lao said with a smile: "The craftsmanship of this imitation is too exquisite. I am afraid if it were not broken today, no one would doubt its authenticity."

Several people all nodded. To have such counterfeiting skills is a terrifying existence in the antique world.

If there are such top-quality antiques that are fake and sold for sky-high prices, the buyer will suffer huge losses.

Su Bai knelt down and picked up the debris on the ground.

Huh?what is that?
Su Bai calmed down and looked at a fragment near the bottom of the bowl.

The light just shone on this fragment, revealing a faint mark that could not be noticed without looking carefully.

It's like a spider web.

Su Bai glanced at it a few times, but didn't pay much attention to it. The imitation was just an imitation after all, and there was no point in studying it.

She handed the broken porcelain pieces to Zhao Liguo, "Shop Manager Zhao, this bottle is a very good imitation. If it is not broken, it will still have some value."

Zhao Liguo didn't have any thoughts, so he took the things and walked out in disgrace.

Gu Demei looked at Zhao Liguo and even forgot to ridicule.

After all, going from hundreds of millions to a fragment of land is not something that everyone can bear.

The Zhenbao Building may have been severely damaged this time.

Xu Lao and the others looked at each other and understood what the other meant.

Zhang Lai said: "Find a time to let someone go to the Zhenbao Building for a stroll. This can be considered as some compensation to Shopkeeper Zhao."

Everyone lost their minds, and this small exhibition came to an end with such a dramatic ending.

It was already late at night when Su Bai and several elderly people came out of Qingxuan Building.

Unknowingly, I stayed in Qingxuan Tower for so long.

The old man stood up and moved his body, looking out the window at the busy street corner.

Normally at this time, everyone would be walking or dancing in the park, and a few elderly people couldn't help but get excited, "How many of us are going to have a night out tonight?"

This is what BJ means by staying up all night.

Mr. Pan became interested, "Okay, is there anything interesting?"

Several other elderly people also looked over.

Mr. Zhang laughed and said, "It's the Capital Ghost Market. I haven't been there for a long time. Why don't you go and have a look?"

The ghost market is located in an ancient alley in the east gate of the capital. It is an absolutely central area and is also a rare and lively place.

The few elderly people left as soon as they could, and soon arrived at the door of their destination.

It's not yet late at night, but the stalls in the ancient alley are already busy. There are countless antique shops with unique charm on both sides.

"It was the last time I came here. I feel like nothing has changed."

"The market hasn't opened yet, so we are still too early."

A few people were walking on the street, and only a few stalls were out. It was not yet the busy time.

Su Bai, who had been accompanying them all the time, saw that several teachers were getting a little tired. He suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "Teachers, the ghost market hasn't started yet. Why don't you take a rest first? I have a place. It can give everyone a break.”

Several people had to accept their old age. Not long ago, they were indeed out of breath and couldn't do it without rest.

Mr. Tang smiled and nodded to Su Bai, and spoke first, "Let's go, I'm tired now anyway, I just want to sit down and have a cup of tea."

None of them had any objections. Mr. Xu nodded and said with a cheerful smile, "Then I'll ask Xiao Su to lead the way."

Su Bai and several elderly people quickly arrived at the door of a closed store.

The store should be newly renovated, and the decoration is quite modern, which seems a bit out of place among all the antiques.

Mr. Tian raised his head and glanced at the signboard, "Late Night Antique Shop? Is this actually an antique shop?"

That's right, Su Bai silently invited all these statues back to his shop.

Except for Mr. Tang, the others were also a little surprised. At first glance, they thought it was some kind of trendy store.

Mr. Chen had sharp eyes and quickly noticed that this place was unusual.

There is just a wooden tea stand, which is actually made of fine rosewood.

Although the value is not high, the carving workmanship is very particular.

Su Bai took out the key and opened the store door, turning sideways and said: "Teachers, please come in."

Mr. Tang walked in first, and several elderly people also followed Lu in out of curiosity.

Under the bright incandescent lights, I could see three large shops with glass cabinets on both sides, filled with various antiques.

Under the light, the antiques gain an extra layer of color.

"This, is this the Qianlong Jade Seal?"

Before Mr. Pan could wake up from his surprise, Mr. Xu cheered again.

"Twelve Flower Gods?!"

Even the old people, who were well-informed, were also surprised at this time.

After a moment of slowing down, several people turned their attention to the gentle Su Bai in the corner.

Su Bai walked out and said with a smile: "Hello teachers, let me introduce myself again. I am the owner of this late-night antique shop. My name is Su Bai."

"Old Tang, you..."

The old men all understood, smiled and said nothing, and walked around in the antique shop late at night.

After this round, their expressions completely changed.

A house full of treasures,
Not just true, but true.

Not a single mistake or omission, not a single forgery, not a single imitation, it’s all the same – eternal romance!
When they looked at Su Bai, who had been following them all day, their expressions changed.

After tonight,

Late night antique shop - Su Bai, famous in Beijing.
