Unparalleled Treasures

Zhang Can's words were really shocking, and everyone in the room was stunned!

However, the stunned expressions were different. Wang Qian, Zhu Senlin, and Su Xue had the same expression, but Zheng Dabao had another expression. The three Wang Qian felt that they were wrong, but Zheng Dabao It's just an expression of extreme surprise!

Zheng Dabao stared at Zhang Can and became more and more puzzled. This young man really gave him too many surprises, but he also had more questions in his heart. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Xiao Zhang, tell me why Don't you think other things are valuable, but just that little yellow lump is the most valuable?"

Zhang Can pointed at the things on the wall and said with a smile: "It's not that other things are worthless, because they are all fake, so they are worthless. If they are real, they are of course valuable, and among these pendants is the yellow A pimple is the real thing, so it's worth money."

When Zhu Senlin and Wang Qian heard Zhang Can say that other things were fake, they were stunned for a moment, and then they both stood up and went to the wall to check those things, to see where it was fake, because now it looks fake , are exactly the same as the real thing, how could it be fake?

Zheng Dabao clenched his hands tightly, stared at Zhang Can, then let go, and asked again: "Xiao Zhang, you are the first person who came to my house and said that the pendants in my living room are fake things, and said I don’t think it’s a fake, but what’s strange to me is that other people’s appraisals have to be carefully tested and checked. Why do you just look at them with your eyes and don’t even touch them with your hands? How can you be sure they are fake? of?"

Zhang Can smiled and said: "Of course this is my opinion. Mr. Zheng, your animals are just real models, such as tiger heads, which are carved out of wood, and then plastic is added to the surface. The fur in the mouth is also colored, and the teeth in the mouth are also made of plastic. They look real, but they are actually fake. The ivory is also made of plastic. With special paint on the outside, it looks real. Others of……"

Seeing that Zhang Can said it as if he saw it with his own eyes, Zheng Dabao was stunned and stunned when he said nothing wrong!

But Wang Qian and Zhu Senlin took out the so-called fake things, touched them, and checked them carefully. From the appearance, they were really unrecognizable, but after holding them, some of the things could still be seen. come out.

As for Su Xue, she took down the little yellow bump and looked at it carefully. It looked like a yellowish-brown pebble in the river, but after holding it in her hand, she felt that it was actually lighter and not heavy. , and can't figure out what it is.

Zhang Can pointed to the thing in Su Xue's hand again and said: "Su Xue, show me that." This time, Zhang Can learned to slip a little bit, and instead of directly telling its origin, let Su Xue show it. Come over and let him have a look.

In fact, Zhang Can naturally recognized this thing long ago, and he didn't hesitate at all, but he just didn't want to be so eye-catching in front of Zheng Dabao.

Su Xue quickly handed the thing to Zhang Can, Zhang Can spread the thing in the palm of his hand, then put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, at the same time, he dipped his fingers on it, and then took it to his mouth and licked it , smiled and said: "It's really good, Mr. Zheng, is this a piece of natural high-quality bezoar?"

Zheng Dabao really had to admire him, and after a while he suddenly came to his senses, and quickly said: "Yes, yes, Xiao Zhang, you...you really are such a name..."

As he spoke, he raised his thumbs up and praised Zheng Dabao. Zheng Dabao was really surprised. It is not surprising that he could recognize his bezoar. It's the first time I've come to him, and I can recognize the authenticity of everything in this room at a glance, which is not something ordinary people can do.

These things are not antiques. I heard from Wang Qian that Zhang Can is an expert in identifying antiques and jade artifacts, but the things in his house are basically not antiques, except for the real and fake Hetian he brought out earlier. Jade stones are usually what a person is good at, and those who are proficient in that category are only one type, and it is impossible to be good at everything, but now it seems that Zhang Can seems to be very good at any type, The things hanging on his wall already belonged to animals, and the production of fake things belonged to wood carving, plastic, paint, etc., and the bezoar belonged to medicine, how did Zhang Can know so much?

Just like the bezoar, many old Chinese doctors understand and can recognize it, but it may not be so easy for them to recognize other things, not to mention that Zhang Can directly explained the materials and details of the counterfeit come out!

"Yes...it is indeed a piece of bezoar..." Zheng Dabao admitted it almost convincingly, and then said: "The others are indeed fake..."

Wang Qian and Zhu Senlin were no longer surprised, they couldn't help but smile slightly, Zhang Can's ability was not seen before today, his eyesight is really nothing to say, if he couldn't recognize it, It is really hard to find something that can be rare for him.

At this time, Su Xue couldn't help asking: "Zhang Can, you said this bezoar is the most valuable, so how much is it worth?"

Zhang Can smiled and said: "How much it is worth depends on Mr. Zheng himself. Natural bezoar is a very precious medicinal material. The medicinal material business is the same as buying vegetables. Naturally, there will be bargaining. How much is it?" To be able to make a deal, Mr. Zheng naturally has a standard and a bottom line in his heart, but the value of such a piece of natural bezoar is higher than the value of such a piece of gold!"

Su Xue was stunned. The price of such a thing was higher than that of gold. It was really unexpected. She didn't know how much bezoar was, but she had heard it before, but it was said that it was more expensive than gold. I really don't believe it.

"Is it more expensive than gold? Why do I see it in some Chinese medicine stores, and the price doesn't seem to be very expensive?" Su Xue remembered and asked again. It's not like she hasn't been to a Chinese medicine store before. I often see old Chinese medicine practitioners taking medicine for patients. Once the rows of medicine boxes and cabinets are pulled out, there are Chinese medicinal materials in them. The doctor will use a small weighing pan to weigh them. And the bezoars are pulled out of the cabinet, they are all cut into fine grains, and a small plate is worth at least a few dollars, while a pack of traditional Chinese medicine is at most dozens of dollars, and the general ones are only a few dollars, or ten dollars. If bezoar is more expensive than gold, how is that possible?

Zhang Can smiled slightly, this is what Su Xue, a layman, would ask this question, Wang Qian and Zhu Senlin will not ask about this matter, and said with a smile: "Su Xue, the bezoar used in those pharmacies is not natural bezoar. It is artificial bezoar. The price of artificial bezoar is naturally much lower. It is incomparable. To identify bezoar, it is actually relatively simple. Take a little powder, then mix it with water, and then apply it on the nails. The nails are dyed yellow, this identification method is called 'hanging nails'!"

Su Xue tapped her nails and couldn't help smiling: "Hanging nails? Nail polish? But it's so ugly to paint yellow!"

Zhang Can said again: "The method of hanging armor is more common, but it is not absolute. To verify the bezoar with certainty and accuracy, you have to do a laboratory test, take the powder, and add other chemical elements. You can check the bilirubin and check the bile acid. , comparison chromatography, component analysis research, etc., a complete piece of natural bezoar is oval, irregular spherical or triangular, etc., the surface is yellow or brown, and it will not fade for a long time after it is applied on the nail with the nail verification method. The fake paint will be easy to discolor, and the bezoar smells fragrant, has a cool feeling in the mouth, chews and does not stick to the teeth, and will slowly melt away in the mouth."

"As for the artificial bezoar, it is mostly in the form of powder, and some are made into irregular spherical or square shapes by adding some elements to pretend to be natural bezoar. After all, some people make fake bezoar because of the huge price difference. There are a lot of people, and it is not bad to use artificial bezoar to make fakes. Some use plant powder to add egg white, egg yolk and ox bile, and also use gallstones from other animals to pretend, but gallstones from other animals naturally do not have the effect of bezoar. Some will have the opposite effect, so it is harmful to the human body. In fact, to identify the bezoar, you can basically distinguish it by touching it with your hands. There is an experience called "three points", the so-called three points are, One is that the bezoar is "three points lighter" for beginners. The texture of the bezoar is loose, and it is lighter than other items of the same size. As long as you are a veteran who often touches the bezoar, you can know it by trying the weight. As Guaijia said, the third is to crush it by hand, the bezoar hardness is only one to two degrees, it is easy to crush, if it cannot be crushed when squeezed hard, or if there are no cracks, it is fake!"

Zhang Can spoke in such detail, even a layman like Su Xue could hear clearly and clearly. Only then could Su Xue really see Zhang Can's identification ability, and this is not what my uncle said The antiques or jades belonged to Zhang Can's non-professional appraisal, but Zhang Can still said it so well. Looking at Zheng Dabao's expression, he knew that Zhang Can was right, and he couldn't help but secretly admire Zhang Can.

In the past, she always looked down on Zhang Can, thinking that Zhang Can was just lucky, but since this period of time, she has gradually changed her view of Zhang Can, especially the two life-saving graces, which made Su Xue completely develop a feeling for Zhang Can. She also couldn't figure out why this young man, who obviously didn't have much physical strength and a strong body, was able to dive into such deep water, and in the danger of landslides this time, he even showed more special vigilance ability?

Zheng Dabao was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed "haha", and then said to Wang Qian: "Brother Wang, I have always respected and convinced you, little brother, this time I saw you brought such a brat here, and you are still very serious , I think it's a bit outrageous, now I really understand, you are still my big brother, no matter your eyesight or ability, I can't match it!"

Wang Qian patted Zheng Dabao's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile: "Is there any comparison, but my brother is indeed a capable person, there is no doubt about it."

Zheng Dabao stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said heartily: "Brother Wang, you also explained to me the purpose of coming this time. The old man's health is important, so we don't waste any time. Let's do it right away. I have everything I need." Get ready, let your people and my people get into the car, set off, go to my ranch to rest for the night, what kind of hotel restaurant, you are all tired of eating, come to my side, nothing else , that is to roast beef and sheep, and drink strong wine, this is the way of hospitality of our Uighurs!"

Speaking of the old man's illness, Wang Qian did not refuse, nodded, and followed Zheng Dabao's arrangements.

Zheng Dabao called four or five of his subordinates, all of them were tall and strong men, and they could be seen to be men of brute force. They carried the prepared luggage bags and went outside the door. Five Hummers have been prepared, this car is the ace of off-road.

Zheng Dabao's people added him to a total of six, Wang Qian's side lost one subordinate, and there were only eleven people, and the two sides together had seventeen people, and five Hummers easily carried them away.
