Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 29 Defective product?

"Boss Li has good eyesight... Those three people came into my store and asked for [-] yuan. I...I didn't accept it. They...they lowered it to [-] yuan, and finally...they dropped it to [-] yuan..."

Ren Zhirong was out of breath with a smile, "Hahaha...one glance...a fake thing, let alone [-], I think it's too expensive for just three hundred...hehehehe, Boss Li is...becoming a bodhisattva, right?"

"Earn some hard money, how dare you call yourself a Bodhisattva?"

Li Ding'an talked lightly, with a leisurely tone, "I can't compare to the arrogance of the boss, who can buy a broken bottle and half a rotten brick for 1 yuan..."

Ren Zhirong seemed to be grabbed by the neck, his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his wild laughter turned into a sneer: "Okay, then I want to see what good things Boss Li can buy for [-] yuan, and how much hard money can he earn?"

Not many people know about this matter, but there are many things about Li Ding'an picking up a broken brick and turning it into a national treasure.

But most of them are gloating expressions, one can imagine the character of this boss...

Li Ding'an didn't bother to argue with him, he opened the box and took out the porcelain pot: "Teacher Wu, please!"

Wu Weimin didn't talk too much, nodded, picked up the porcelain pot and looked at it.

"The patina and bleeding look like old ones, but this bottle is too heavy!"

"This one is not right either!"

"This tire is too thick, crooked... oh no, it's flat..."

"There are a lot of jump marks..."

"The feet are too rough, and there is too much sticky sand..."

"The enamel is too thin, not plump..."

"This painting method is wrong, from the Tang Dynasty..."

"Well, this pattern is not right, it is also from the Tang Dynasty... Hey, this painting, and this bottom..."

……

"Look, even Teacher Wu said that!"

"Indeed, this pot has flaws everywhere. Even if it's something from the Ming Dynasty, it probably came out of some small workshop. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so rough!"

"How much is that worth?"

"Didn't the boss just say that three hundred is too expensive!"

"Then Boss Li still nodded vigorously, what do you mean?"

"He knows all about it!"

"Of course I know. Before he bought it, we talked about most of these issues!"

"Understood, he must have seen something we didn't say, otherwise he wouldn't buy it..."

"Nonsense, if it wasn't for this, why would I come here?"

"I want to see what kind of flowers he can see..."

Every time Wu Weimin said something, he would look at Li Ding'an, and he would nod his head once, and Wu Weimin's strangeness would deepen.Five or six times in a row, he simply stopped talking, his face full of suspicion: "What I said is all wrong, but are they all shortcomings?"

"I know!"

"Then you still buy it?"

"If all these are correct, I really dare not buy it!" Li Ding'an smiled, "Don't you say 'Huh' anymore?"

"Haha...haha...Young people are really interesting..."

It is indeed a disadvantage.But sometimes, disadvantages can also become advantages.For example, what Wu Weimin just said happened to be the characteristics of porcelain from the Tianqi to the Chongzhen period.There are not only folk kilns, but also official kilns...

After laughing, Wu Weimin gave another thumbs up: "Drinking with Lao Fang last night, he talked about you, and he admired you. But I don't believe in evil: it makes no sense that the bosses of Panjiayuan's hundreds of thousands are not as good as you, right? But I just realized today that the young people nowadays are amazing, and they simply don't want to give life to the old people..."

With another sigh, he picked up the pot and knocked on the bottom with a dignified and excited expression: "Is it really Tianshun?"

"Ms. Wu is teasing me again?"

Li Ding'an pointed to the sandy feet, the thin and almost transparent glaze, "Isn't it written? It's either Tianqi or Chongzhen!"

"Yeah, I was greedy, I thought I could make the world's first Tianshun Pot myself!"

He sighed, took out the sandpaper and iron file from the box, thought for a while, and then took out the hammer and chisel.Then he looked at Li Ding'an, with a hint of slyness on his face, "It's better for you to come here, let's make an agreement first, and I won't pay if I mess it up!"

Li Ding'an said proudly: "Teacher Wu, don't worry about it, even if it becomes scum, it will be mine!"

Whether it was the onlookers and customers, or the netizens in the live broadcast room, they all looked at it with a confused face: Look at this, are you going to smash this pot?

The tire is so thin, there must be nothing hidden inside, and it will be completely useless if it is smashed?

Some people heard something wrong: This pot, I am afraid it is not simple...

"Boss Li, Mr. Wu must take a while, and the work won't be finished in three to five minutes... Waiting is waiting, why don't you give us some popular science?"

"Yes, tell us about it and increase your knowledge!"

"Alright!"

Li Ding'an thought for a while, "Everyone should know that since Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, official kilns had a model called 'official and civilian burning'!"

Crowd: ...

Everyone stared at him, looking at him in disbelief: My good fellow, this pot is not even suitable for a private kiln, you just want to use it for an official kiln?
"What is official and civilian burning?"

"It's just that the imperial court is short of money and can't support so many kiln workers, so it can only distribute some porcelain to several large private kilns for firing, because the embryos are made in official kilns, and the paintings are also painted in official kilns. The private kilns only burn, so after all, it is still official kiln porcelain."

"But those embryos are sent to the folk kilns after the imperial wares factory has made them. The embryos are crooked like this, and they will never leave the gate of the imperial wares factory. Even if it leaks, it will be smashed when it is fired out of the folk kiln. Otherwise, everyone from the kiln owner to the kiln workers will have to blame..."

"Not to mention the big kilns fired by the government and the people, even the small folk kilns with a little reputation will not keep such things. One is that it is not easy to sell, and the other is that the signboards are smashed..."

"Don't worry, everyone, let's talk little by little."

Li Ding'an thought for a while, "I want to say that the three marks on the slump are not knife marks, but the embryos were accidentally smashed during the process of transporting the embryo from the imperial wares factory to the folk kiln. Do you agree?"

"I agree with a chicken... huh? It seems so possible?"

"Indeed. After all, it is impossible to pull only one embryo in a truck, but hundreds of mud embryos are piled up and transported. It is inevitable that there will be bumps. Kiln workers like this can repair tires, and they will smash them if they can't repair them...

So it’s still the same sentence: if the tire is too rough, the imperial ware factory will smash it, if there are too many knife marks, the kiln worker will also smash it, even if it is fired in the kiln, the kiln owner and inspectors will still smash it... After all, it is impossible for an official kiln like this to be handed down..."

"There are no absolutes. Not all periods of the Ming Dynasty will be so strict. You are all experts, and you must know how the porcelain after the apocalypse is dated... Then think about the embryo, the sticky sand, the glaze, the fetus, and the feet..."

The onlookers were all stunned.

"No wonder I knew at the time that the old man was singing a double reed, but I thought it made some sense? Isn't the disadvantage of porcelain in the late Ming Dynasty is that the embryo is rough and sticky sand, and the advantage is that the glaze is thin but not cloudy, the tire is thin, and the soles are even and round enough?"

"That's right, especially in Chongzhen, where the apportionment was forced but no money was paid. Even the products fired by the five major folk kilns were rough. At that time, they were not as strict as before, and there were many defective products out of the kilns..."
