Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 259 White Porcelain Paperweight
"I know the square pot, but why does it become an ancestor?"

Li Ding'an pointed to the label: "Look, it's written there!"

Lei Ming really took a closer look:
Name: Yellow mud clay pot.

Era: Late Qing Dynasty and Republic of China.

Details: Imitation of the "Yanzhai" model of the Ming Jiajing pottery master...

Lei Mingzhen understood after thinking about it for a while: the square pot was Shi Dabin's first creation, but Shi Zhai was his father Shi Chun's Zhai name. First of all, the time was wrong.Secondly, there was no paste on the body of the pot, and it was so well preserved. Experts concluded that it was an imitation, and that it should be around the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

But Li Ding'an believes that this is a work from Shi Dabin's youth, and his father is still alive, so it is normal for the work to be engraved with the inscription "Yan Zhai".The reason why it is so ugly and the workmanship is so rough is because it uses a new process pioneered by Shi Dabin, which was not very mature and perfect at the time.

But no matter how imperfect it is, this is still a period pot, and it may really be the earliest square pot discovered so far... And no matter what it is, once the word "earliest" is attached to it, it represents the highest level of craftsmanship at that time. and cultural origins.

For example, the difference between the enamel bowls is only 100 years. The tens of millions in the Yongzheng period are only a few hundred thousand in the Xianfeng period.

It’s the same pig iron pot. Every piece from before the Ming Dynasty can be put into a museum, but the ones after the Ming Dynasty can only be sold as scrap iron.

So don't think this thing is ugly, it will be born early if you can't stand it.In other words: thieves are so valuable...

Lei Mingzhen took a breath: "Even I have an impression of 'Yanzhai', let alone the expert, he didn't study it in depth when he made the appraisal?"

"Researched!"

"Did you make a mistake?"

"On the contrary, he couldn't be more careful in his appraisal. He just deliberately turned the genuine product into a fake and set an extremely unreasonable valuation."

"What?"

"Think for yourself!"

Lei Mingzhen paused for a moment and suddenly realized: When the buyer saw that it was so ugly, it was still a fake. How dare he sell it for [-] yuan?
Whoever buys it is stupid!

"Holy crap, such a bastard can also be an expert, what about people?"

"I heard he was captured!"

"Should!"

"Stop it, take your things and wait for me on the second floor. Be careful, don't fight with others..."

"What fight are you doing?"

"Look there, those people staring at you are all associates of another expert..."

Li Ding'an raised his chin, "Not only did he come here to pick up bargains, but he also worked together to set up a trap for the seller, but he didn't succeed. I intercepted them all... Well, all three of them!"

Seeing Li Ding'an dragging out two boxes, one large and one small, from under the mat, Lei Mingzhen and Duan Mu's eyes widened: Are you saying that you set up a stall here in your spare time?

What a thief, he is also very black, he is black when he eats black!
"Teacher Li, don't worry!"

Duan Mu's eyes sparkled, "You can't do it as long as I'm here!"

No, you said you can't fuck him, but from my look at your posture, why does it sound like "I can't fuck him to death"?
Just say that someone who can play with Lei Mingzhen, how can he be a good person... No, bah bah... Anyway, he will definitely not be a good person!

"Okay, Mr. Duan, please go up first!"

"What are you going for?"

"There are two more, let me take a look again!"

It's leaking again, I guess it's not too small?
Lei Mingzhen was quite worried: "Take it easy, you will cut off your wealth right before your eyes, and everyone will be anxious!"

"Don't worry, let alone a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people, even if they were all like you, they wouldn't be a match..."

"Who doesn't know how to brag?"

"Practice someday?"

Lei Ming really didn't dare to say anything.

When he was in school, he bullied Li Ding'an as if it was a joke.Of course, he didn't dare, otherwise with his brain, he would have to help shovel a few shovels of soil when Li Ding'an buried him.

But now... Anyway, that time when he bought a house, Li Ding'an kicked the nearly [-] kilogram fat man's feet off the ground. He would never be able to do it...

"You are eating chemical fertilizer every day, right?"

"Yes, your body is in great shape, and it tastes delicious... Why don't you try it first?"

Joking, Li Ding'an stuffed the bowl box into his bag: "Let's go!"

Looking at his back, Duan Mu looked strange.

It was my first time to meet Li Ding'an, but I had seen the video before: he was quite gentle, quite decent, and very polite. I felt that there was no scholar who was more "scholarly" than him.

Only when you see it in person will you know: that's not the case at all.Although he is not as funny as Lei Mingzhen, he is definitely not a serious person.What’s rare is that he’s not pedantic or rigid, and he’s so witty and flexible that it’s scary…

"Teacher Li...well, it's quite interesting!"

"Nonsense, who wants to play with him?"

"I see there are several people over there. Is there any danger?"

"Don't worry, they are the ones in danger: even if they are all tied together, they are no match for Li Jianjian!"

"It doesn't look like he's Wenwen and quiet?"

"If you want to see it out, his name is not Li Ding'an. Otherwise, how can you call him a thief? How shameful is he?"

The two of them were talking and each picked up another box. As soon as they stood up, several people rushed up next to them.

Well, instead of looking for Li Dingan, they surrounded them first?

There were men and women, old and young, and all of them stared at Lei Mingzhen with their eyes wide open like light bulbs.

There was no mistaking it, it was just an ordinary rattan square box, which was still on the stall before, with the six-square pot on it, but now it was in the hands of the big black man.

Looking further at the stall, there were only two matzas left, and the woman was long gone.

"Wait!" The young man stood at the front, blocking Lei Mingzhen's path, "What are you talking about?"

"Shit, do you want to eat it?"

"Hey, how did you talk?"

"You don't care how I talk, and you don't care what I mention?"

An older man came out and quickly smoothed things over: "Don't get me wrong...we just want to see what's inside?"

"You guys are just like chickens. If you want to see me, I have to show it to you? Get out of my way..."

The young man scratched his head and said, "What if I don't let you go?"

"Hey, is that okay? Come?"

Lei Mingzhen handed the box back to Duan Mu: "Lian Lian?"

Several people were all dumbfounded: Where did this green-skinned guy come from?

A few minutes ago, they were still discussing whether to wait until the people at the stall left before going there. They just took out the [-] yuan and left.

But the people at the stall didn't leave, so the woman left first?

When I looked closer, I saw that the big black man had already put the pot into the box... What does this mean: a leak of millions of dollars was just picked up by someone?
He looks quite young, so he probably has little experience, and it was purely an accident.So a few people figured out how to cheat the money back, and they could pay an extra 30 to [-] yuan, or even [-] to [-] yuan.

As a result, as soon as he opened his mouth, Lei Mingzhen pushed him against the wall. The hostility should not be too obvious.

At this point, as long as your mind is not filled with confusion, you will be able to understand: these two young people are here specifically for them.

Take another closer look: Good guy, 90.00% of the nine items in the other box are the blue and white statue.

The young man immediately became anxious: "Fuck you, uncle, where is the child?"

What kid, Li Dingan?
"That's your father!"

Lei Mingzhen smiled evilly and cracked his knuckles, "Don't say I'm bullying you, come on, one by one!"

A chicken feather?

Let’s not talk about who loses and who wins, but if he bumps any of the things around here, the seller will be so happy that he will kneel down and call daddy.

And this is the second point. The important point is that the police will definitely be called. If we really want to dig deeper, they and Professor Zhou and his son will also have to be taken back.

It's not blackmail, but it's definitely a fraud attempt... The problem is, so far they haven't even gotten a single cent of benefit...

Several people glanced at each other, and most of them thought about it, but the young man was still holding on. "Wait for me!"

"Ha ha?"

Lei Mingzhen and Duan Mu looked at each other: Li Ding'an had emphatically explained it, and he was still carrying something in his hand, otherwise this kid wouldn't be able to walk out today...

"Okay, I'll wait. Do you want me to give you my address?"

The young man wanted to say harsh words, but the woman pulled him back: "Let's go!"

She works in a jade shop, so her eyes shouldn't be too poisonous: the big black guy is definitely wearing a Zigang brand around his neck, and it would cost nearly a million if less.There is also the key in the waist, the two "R"s are so big that they can blind the eyes.No matter which one of them it is, there is no one below 500 million.

The shorter one at the back is not far behind: just the watch in his hand can buy half a big black car...

The more the woman thought about it, the more shocked she became: These two people just wear the bits and pieces they wear, but they cost nearly ten million?
And they are all young... What is your background?
……

Li Ding'an strolled slowly and leisurely, sometimes stopping to ask about the price, and sometimes sitting on the horse to take a look at the items.

There didn't seem to be any goals, but his eyes never left Zhou Qing and Professor Zhou standing in the corner smoking.

There is something wrong with the father and son, something very wrong:

My son kept watching, and every time he saw something, he would take out his mobile phone, as if comparing information or pictures.The speed is very fast, most people just take one look and leave without even bothering to ask about the price.

Occasionally, a puzzled and thoughtful expression would appear on his face, and then he would make a phone call. Without exception, Professor Zhou outside the awning would take out his cell phone and say a few words.

I didn't dare to get too close and couldn't hear clearly what the two men were saying, but I always felt that Zhou Qing was a little impatient and panicked.Every time after reading one thing, or before looking at the next thing, he would glance in the direction of those six people, as if he were a thief.

Professor Zhou was similar. His eyes basically never left that direction. It felt like he was being followed.

The question is, what Zhou Qing is looking at are all paperweights?
What's more important is that there is no such thing in those people's notebooks.

Just follow the plan, Infernal Affairs?

Eye-opening...

After thinking about it for a moment, Li Ding'an came up with an idea: Don't waste time, get the immediate benefits first.

Flies and mosquitoes are all meat...

……

"Ding zero zero zero..."

The phone rang again, and Professor Zhou answered the call, "Found it?"

"Not yet... But Dad, look at that man at Stall 22. Is he looking at the crabapple plate?"

"Everything here is for sale, can you stop people from seeing it?"

"No, he also bought a scent cup before... Come on, look, he also bought the plate?"

Professor Zhou's heart skipped a beat: these two items were all items he and Zhou Qing planned to hand over to the six people. Without exception, they were all items that Expert Du deliberately misjudged during the audition.

To put it bluntly, it's all a leak, whether it's big or small, there's still a price difference of more than 20 or [-] per piece.

But how did this person know?
Secretly guessing, Zhou Qing's low voice came over the phone again: "He picked up the willow bottle again?"

what?
Professor Zhou suddenly opened his eyes: The man held his neck with one hand and the bottom with the other, as if he was looking at the pattern on the bottle.

After taking a few glances, he put down the porcelain bottle, took out his flashlight and shone a light along the mouth of the bottle.

Then he leveled the porcelain vase, took out a magnifying glass and looked at the bottom and feet, and finally held it in his hands and touched it.

At first glance, it seems normal, but Professor Zhou knows that only experts and professional appraisers will see it this way. Ordinary players and collectors will hold it in their hands and will not put it on the ground.

He is an expert and well-informed, and all he saw were things that Lao Du had appraised...

"Dad, this person must be like us, here to take advantage?"

"It doesn't matter. Let him look at it as he likes. It doesn't matter if he picks them all up!"

"But that one?"

"Don't worry, it's not that easy to find!"

It is true.

The two of us wandered around for a long time, looking at almost all the paperweights, but couldn't find any trace of that thing...

While thinking about it, Zhou Qing squinted his eyes again:
The man paid the money, packed the box, and stood up with the vase...

After walking a few steps, he stopped, asked, and sat down on the horse again.

Stall No. 74?

"Has Lao Du appraised anything at this stall?"

"no!"

"Then what was he looking at?"

Zhou Qing took a closer look and said, "The two ends are upturned and the middle is concave... It seems to be... a pulse pillow used in traditional Chinese medicine?"

"Pulse pillow...what shape and how big is it?"

"Below the upper arch, it's about a foot long, about two inches in diameter, white... Well, he was knocking, and there seemed to be a sound... No, it's a porcelain pillow!"

porcelain?

The two ends are upturned, the middle is concave, and the upper arch is about a foot long below... Such a thing can indeed be used as a pulse pillow, but at the same time, it can also be used as a paperweight.

click...

A light seemed to flash in his mind, and Professor Zhou's heart shrank into a ball: White porcelain paperweight?

"Idiot, I asked you to be more careful. What do you think?"

"what?"

Just scolding people when they are doing well?
Just when Zhou Qing felt confused, he rushed towards stall No. 74 like a gust of wind when he saw his father.

Um...fuck, paperweight?

……

"Boss, what kind of object is this!"

"Pulse pillow?"

"Who used it?"

"do not know!"

"Then you dare to sell it for 26?"

"Look clearly!" The seller pointed to the label, "This is early morning white porcelain. You know there is a celestial sphere vase in the Forbidden City, and this is something from the entrance of a kiln."

"Why isn't it written on the label?"

"Hey, you kid, why are you talking so much? You just want to say whether you want to buy it or not?"

"I'll tell you after reading it!"

"Does it look like it's real? Don't throw it at me..."

"rest assured!"

Li Ding'an smiled and hugged the porcelain pillow.

It was purely a coincidence: because Zhou Qing had always looked at paperweights, he would take a casual look at such things when he encountered them.

However, they are either of average quality or the price is ridiculously high.

This one is the same. It's just an ordinary white porcelain from a folk kiln. It has nothing to do with the celestial sphere vase in the Forbidden City. If you only look at the craftsmanship and appearance, [-] is too much.

The reason why Li Ding'an paid attention to it was that, first, this thing had three uses: it could be used as a paperweight or as a secret pavilion (an arm pillow used for writing calligraphy in ancient times). It was not wrong to call it a pulse pillow.

The second is the painting above: at first glance, it looks a bit like the style of Fan Kuan and Li Cheng.

These two are two of the three great masters of the Northern Song Dynasty...
