Jin Yutong

Chapter 97

Looking back, Chen Ran and Guo Hai were surprised to find that in the second row, behind the dwarf, there were six men in black suits sitting in a row.

These six men not only wore uniform black suits, but also the same white shirts and red ties inside the black suits. They also all wore the same sunglasses and had the same hairstyle. Almost exactly the same, even the physique, head shape, height, etc., are all the same. At a glance, they seem to be the same person. I am afraid that even if they are familiar people, they may not be able to tell who they are. who.

In addition to these six roles that look like bodyguards, there are also two women in work clothes. These two women are even more surprising. The work clothes they wear are also the same, but they are just the same color. The 'colors' are different, one is black and the other is white.

Of course, this is not the most surprising thing. The most surprising thing is that they turned out to be a pair of twins who look exactly the same. Apart from their attractive looks, the most attractive thing about the twins is that they A pair of bursting 'tits' on the chest.

And the person who handed the dwarf a hundred-yuan bill is the one on the right side of the twins... Seeing this scene, both Chen Ran and Guo Hai were surprised, and then they couldn't help but look at the dwarf in front of them again. It seems that he didn't expect that this dwarf looked ugly, but he had a lot of ostentation.

When the dwarf saw Chen Ran and Guo Hai's surprised look, his small eyes narrowed even smaller, like two thin slits, and he couldn't see the eyeballs. He squinted his eyes and took a look at Guo Hai and Chen Ran. Then, he said with a smile: "Little brother, do you want to play or not? If you seem to have a lot of money, let's have a little less. Money is not a problem. It's boring to sit here and stare. It's just to have some fun. "

Guo Hai's personality has always been soft and not tough. Of course, there is one more thing, and he is the most uninspired. When the dwarf said this, he couldn't answer: "Play, why don't you play?" , you bet that the porcelain bowl is not real, then I will bet that the porcelain bowl is real."

While speaking, he took out 100 yuan and threw it on top of the dwarf's 100 yuan.

Guo Hai's action was too fast, and before Chen Ran could stop him, he took out the money. The matter had come to this point, and Chen Ran had no choice but to give up. He didn't care about the money, but he was worried that he would provoke someone for no reason. What kind of trouble is there? After all, the dwarf in front of him is not an ordinary character at first glance. According to his personality, he can avoid it as soon as he can, but now Guo Hai has agreed. It will definitely offend people.

Chen Ran felt relieved when he thought about only 100 yuan per game. Neither Guo Hai nor the dwarf were obviously characters who could not afford to lose. .

"Okay, I can see that my brother is also a straightforward person, and my brother likes such straightforwardness!"

The dwarf smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Guo Hai's shoulder, then pointed to the high platform: "Now let's see what the experts say."

"Okay, when the time comes, brother, don't afford to lose."

Guo Hai also laughed and joked with the dwarf. The dwarf was already much older than Chen Ran and Guo Hai, and with such a big show, he must not be a simple person, but he didn't put on any airs. Such straightforwardness made both Guo Hai and Chen Ran have a better impression of him.

Anyone can say beautiful words, after saying beautiful words, Guo Hai touched Chen Ran with his arm, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Ran, is that porcelain bowl real or fake?"

Chen Ran glanced at him, but ignored him.

Teacher Liu watched carefully for a while, then raised his head, and in the midst of everyone's attention, he gave a result that both Mr. Wu and Guo Hai couldn't help but be delighted with: "First of all, I can tell you that this is The real product is a folk kiln in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, with obvious traces of imitating the official kiln, the correct name is Qianlong Sacrifice Red Plate, which belongs to a kind with high craftsmanship value."

"My little brother has good eyesight!" Teacher Liu announced the result, and the dwarf smiled and extended a big female finger at Guo Hai.

Guo Hai was a little dizzy by his praise, with a bitter face: "Brother, my eyesight is not good, it's not because you chose the real one first, so I have to choose the real one, it's just a coincidence!" After finishing speaking Afterwards, he pointed at Chen Ran, and said with a smile: "If you say you have good eyesight, you must count me as a buddy. That eyesight is amazing. If I tell you, you may not believe it." ...cough cough..."

When Guo Hai wanted to continue blowing, he suddenly felt someone twist his thigh hard, and he immediately closed his mouth because of the pain.After closing his mouth, Chen Ran gave him a hard look.

Guo Hai told the dwarf, I told you, I’m afraid you wouldn’t believe it, although he didn’t say it in the end, but the dwarf didn’t believe it anymore, he just thought Guo Hai was flattering his buddy... At this time, only Teacher Liu continued to analyze: "At first glance, the color of the porcelain is burnt black, which is caused by perennial oxidation. The glaze is strong, the luster is soft, and it has a clear style of the times. From the front of the shape, the opening It is round. The back is loach back. Unfortunately, the mouth of the porcelain bowl is damaged. , the price is more than 3 RMB, but unfortunately, if it is damaged, the value will be discounted, and the final value is about 2 RMB.”

Although the valuation given by Mr. Liu was only 2 RMB, Mr. Wu was already very happy, and cheerfully thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Liu!"

After Chen Ran identified the porcelain bowl as genuine, he also estimated the value of the porcelain bowl. His valuation was around [-], which was higher than Mr. Liu's valuation. This made him realize some of his own shortcomings.

For the identification of antiques, he has supernatural powers, and he will not lose to anyone, but in terms of valuation, relatively speaking, he may be weaker in this regard. After all, valuation is affected by the market. To estimate the most accurate price, it is necessary to understand the entire market situation of this antique.

For some popular collections, Chen Ran's estimate is about the same, for some unpopular ones or like the porcelain bowl in front of him, he will be a little bit worse.

Realizing this, Chen Ran paid attention to the valuations of the five experts in the following treasure appraisal process.

After some unnutritious words, the host announced the next collection, and Guo Hai and the dwarf here also started another gamble. Guo Hai felt that he was lucky, so he didn't ask Chen Ran whether it was true or not, and placed a bet directly, and the bet was still genuine.

The second collection is a snuff bottle. The snuff bottle is miscellaneous, and it was identified by Mr. Li, a postgraduate tutor of the History Department of Tianzhong University.

Snuff bottle, as the name suggests, is a container for snuff, small enough to hold and easy to carry.Speaking of snuff bottles, we have to talk about snuff. Snuff is a kind of tobacco product, which is prepared by roasting tobacco, removing stem powder, fermenting and adding spices. It is sniffed and taken.

The custom of snuffing originated from the Indians, the inventors of tobacco.Around the 14th century, the Italians selected fine tobacco leaves mixed with mint borneol and other "medicinal" materials to grind them into powder, sealed them in cellars for aging, and produced commercial snuff after several years.

Han people began to sniff snuff in the Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were very few snuff imports, and only people in Guangdong had snuffed it.Kangxi lifted the sea ban, and Western missionaries carried a large amount of snuff and glass bottles containing snuff, and snuffing gradually became a fashion.

Since Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, almost all the emperors of the past dynasties were fond of snuff, but the emperors of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong were more fond of snuff bottles than snuff, so the imperial snuff bottles continued until the end of the Qing Dynasty. Over the past century, the manufacturing process of snuff bottles has been greatly developed, and high-quality products have emerged in an endless stream.

The most influential snuff bottle in later generations is the inner painting pot, but there is an interesting legend about the formation of the inner painting. He is an upright man and a clean official, and he hopes to be dealt with through normal channels.

Due to the inefficiency of court officials and the lack of bribery, his affairs continued to be delayed despite waiting for a long time.A small local official ran out of money and food, so he had no choice but to stay in a temple in the capital. He was addicted to snuff. , many scratches were formed on the inner wall of the snuff bottle. This snuff bottle was seen by a scheming monk. Through experiments, the monk used a bamboo stick to cut out the pointed end and dipped it in ink to draw pictures on the inner wall of the transparent snuff bottle. This peculiar painting was born.

Now people's habit of using snuff is almost extinct, but the snuff bottle has been handed down as a kind of exquisite art, and it has been prosperous for a long time.

The snuff bottle in front of me is made of copper. As an exquisite handicraft, the snuff bottle combines the skills of calligraphy, painting, carving, inlaying and polishing. It is made of materials such as porcelain, copper, ivory, jade, agate and amber. Generally speaking, the most common one is porcelain. The porcelain snuff bottles made during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty were the top grade, and the porcelain snuff bottles with grasshopper patterns painted during the Daoguang Dynasty were also very rare.

Identifying snuff bottles is somewhat different from identifying other antiques. To identify other antiques, you must first identify the authenticity, and then identify the quality.

Only the identification of snuff bottles is different. It is enough to identify the quality of the device, and it is not necessary to verify its authenticity.

Probably the value of the snuff bottle depends entirely on the quality of the material and the fineness of the workmanship, and has nothing to do with the age of production and the owner of the production.If the raw material is indeed rare and ingenious, no matter when it was produced or who made it, it is also top grade.On the contrary, the material is mediocre and the workmanship is mediocre. Even if it was made in the Kangxi Yongzheng Dynasty and used by Emperor Kangxi, it is worthless.

The quality cannot be counterfeited, nor can the workmanship be concealed.

Counterfeiting can neither get a good price nor deceive the world, so there is nothing to be gained from counterfeiting snuff bottles. This makes counterfeit snuff bottles extremely rare. It is based on these reasons that it can be distinguished, so you don’t have to pay much attention to the authenticity of the snuff bottle. To identify the snuff pot, you only need to examine its quality.

In view of this, when Mr. Li identified the snuff bottles, he did not say the authenticity of the snuff bottles, but directly estimated the price. For the snuff bottle in front of him, Mr. Li estimated the price at about 3000 yuan. The price was a bit low, and the owner of the snuff bottle left with a dejected look on his face.

Teacher Li not only estimated the price, but also talked about the points that need to be paid attention to when appraising snuff bottles, which benefited Chen Ran a lot. In this round, Guo Hai and the dwarf were in a draw.

Next, with the announcement of the hostess, one collection after another came to the stage. Although there are so many collections, most of them are high imitations, but there are many good things, and two or three of them have been appraised It was estimated to be **160, and even a piece of Tianhuang inkstone was estimated to be worth [-] million, which has basically been designated as the champion of the highest value collection in the treasure appraisal column.

As for Guo Hai and the dwarf, Guo Hai's luck was not bad. Although he didn't win much, he still had more than 1000. No matter whether it was Guo Hai or the dwarf, neither of them knew anything about antiques. Stupid out.

Every time the two people win the bet, the other person will praise each other for their good eyesight. At first, Guo Hai was a little bit embarrassed, but after seeing the dwarf, he didn't show any embarrassment at all. He even looked smug on the contrary, as if when his eyesight was really good, Guo Hai was no longer embarrassed, but accepted it calmly.

In this way, in the following process, the two people praised each other more and more exaggeratedly, and it was no longer a sentence of good eyesight, but both of them were immersed in it.

I have to say that the two of them together are really a pair of living treasures.

The time for the Appreciation of Treasures column was between one and three in the afternoon, a total of two hours, and by this time, it was almost over, and at this time, the fat man surnamed Zhang finally came on stage.
