Urban Peach Fortune Appraiser

The reason for saying this is that when Emperor Xuande made the Xuande furnace, there was no official style, and only a copy of "Xuande Yi Ware Atlas" was left. That is to say, no one has seen the real Xuande furnace, or at all. There is no Xuande furnace.

In short, the Xuande Furnace has been widely spread, and there are all kinds of legends. The more bizarre statement is that gold, silver and other precious metals were added to the brass used to refine the Xuande Furnace, and finally [-] pieces were formed.

It's a pity that no one can give an accurate account of where the three thousand copper furnaces went. The Xuande furnace is very good at fooling newcomers who have just entered the industry.

It's a pity that Qin Zhouxu still knows a lot about this Xuande furnace, and the thing in Shan Yue's hand is the closest to the historian's statement in terms of materials and style. With the real thing for comparison, it only takes one glance at the fake one , you can see through it.

Qin Zhouxu ignored Little Niqiu, and directly reached out to take out the horn cup. Little Niqiu realized that he had made a mistake when he saw Qin Zhouxu took the horn cup, but he was not embarrassed at all, instead immediately He changed his tone.

"Boss, don't look at your young age, you are really unusual. I knew you were capable last time. Now it seems that I was right. This is a high-quality rhino horn cup, and the price is very high. , good eyesight, admiration." Little Niqiu gave Qin Zhouxu a thumbs up.

Qin Zhouxu was not in such a good mood as Little Niach. He looked carefully at the horn cup of Little Niach. This horn cup is relatively small, only about eight centimeters high, but it is only open The length of the cup, Qin Zhouxu roughly estimated, should be about fourteen centimeters.

Qin Zhouxu didn't do much research on the diagonal cup, he just found that the carving on this cup is quite good, the combination of lotus and fish has a good meaning, and the handling is quite clever, especially the fish, put As if the Buddha is about to pop out.

Although Qin Zhouxu had a good impression of this thing, after all, he didn't know the value of the horn cup very well. Taking advantage of the effort to play with his head down, Qin Zhouxu had already circulated his true energy in his body, and then used the Vulcan eye With a slight glance, the red light is shining, it seems that it is genuine.

Qin Zhouxu was very happy, and finally met a treasure he was quite satisfied with. Qin Zhouxu did not change his face, and looked down at the horn cup, "How do you sell this thing?"

Little Niqiu kept looking at Qin Zhouxu with a smile on his face, showing no sign of hurry.He knows that it is quite impolite to interrupt the buyer when others are enjoying it, and many people give up buying it because they are interrupted halfway.

Little Niqiu had suffered losses in this area before, so he had been waiting for Qin Zhouxu to ask him. Now that Qin Zhouxu had opened his mouth, Little Niqiu knew that the deal had already been settled. Five fingers stick out of his face.

"Fifty?" Qin Zhouxu asked, and Little Niqian almost bumped his head against the wall. He smiled wryly, "Boss, you can really make fun of me. I mean fifty thousand."

Qin Zhouxu put down the horn cup, "You are too dark, it costs [-] for such a small thing, why not go to Ming and grab it."

Little Loach knows that as long as Qin Zhou is willing to bargain, it means he really wants to buy it, and now is the best time to bargain, "Boss, don't blame me for speaking bluntly, this thing is made of decent rhino horn, you You should also have heard that rhinos are rare animals now, and hunting is prohibited, so this thing is less than one piece, just hold it in your hand and wait for it to increase in value."

Qin Zhouxu looked disdainful, "Just kidding, how do I know you are a rhinoceros horn cup? If it is buffalo horn or simply imitated from other materials, then I am not at a big loss. I have seen you put someone else's cup with my own eyes. Thrust into the pit of fire."

Little Niqiu lowered his voice, smiled wryly and said to Qin Zhouxu, "Boss, I feel sorry for what happened last time, so I quoted you the lowest return price. If you leave it to someone else, this item will cost less than 12 yuan." Don't even think about it."

In order to make Qin Zhouxu make up his mind, Little Loach continued to flicker, "Look, this carving is definitely top-notch, and I have seen this thing, the year will never exceed the Qing Dynasty at the latest, especially this lotus painting, It’s definitely a literati’s gaming device, and you know that the price of literati’s items is much higher than that of practical devices these days.”

Although Qin Zhouxu agrees with Little Niqiu's opinion in his heart, of course he can't give in so easily, "Come on, bully me because I don't have knowledge. We don't have knowledge, so we still have common sense, okay? Isn't the horn cup just for drinking? If it is really a rhinoceros horn cup, we still have a discussion, if it is made of other materials, at your price, it is not a problem for me to get seven or eight of them."

Little Niqiu hurriedly assured that this thing was absolutely genuine. If it wasn't for the rhino horn cup, he would be willing to give Qin Zhouxu another small thing for free. Qin Zhouxu pushed and shoved for a long time, and finally the two negotiated and settled the deal at a price of [-] .

Qin Zhouxu tidied up the horn cup carefully, then lowered his voice and asked Little Niqiu, "For my love last time, tell me how much you paid for this thing?"

There is an unwritten rule in the antique shop. When buying and selling, you must leave your hands when you buy it. There is absolutely no such thing as returning the product. If you buy a fake product, you can only say that you are not good enough, and you have missed your eyes.

If you buy a good thing at a low return price, it is useless for the seller to jump up and down, then you missed it.Little Loach watched the numbers on the card soar all the way, and the beauty in his heart was gone.

Seeing the sincerity of Qin Zhouxu's question, he showed a sinister smile, "Brother, I'm not bragging, old brother. I've rarely been so honest. I paid 8000 yuan for this thing."

"Damn it, I've transferred tens of thousands of dollars in this change of hands. You're really badass. You've made a lot of money today." In fact, this price is not too far from Qin Zhouxu's estimate. Qin Zhouxu estimated that This thing, Little Loach, will not exceed [-].

Little Niqiu looked smug, "To be honest, this is also my luck, my brother. It just so happens that someone in this family has an emergency and is in a hurry to spend money. In fact, I am doing good deeds out of good deeds. Helping others is helping myself. I guess ordinary people are not so good." Can't use this price."

"You are amazing, you really are a profiteer among profiteers, I admire you." Qin Zhouxu gave Little Nixiu a thumbs up, "Okay, I'm leaving now, and I'll bother you next time."

Little Loach stood up and sent Qin Zhouxu off. After all, this was his first business deal today, so he was extra polite to Qin Zhouxu.

Qin Zhouxu didn't continue shopping, but left with the horn cup. He knew that collecting is a matter of fate, and receiving a good thing today shows that his fate has arrived, and there is no need to force it. People must know how to be content.

Qin Zhouxu took a rhino horn cup and went straight to the hotel after eating a bowl of tofu. When he returned to the hotel, he found that Du Shasha was still sleeping soundly there. Qin Zhouxu tiptoed back to his room to avoid being woken up by too much noise she.

As soon as he entered the back room, Qin Zhouxu opened the "Twenty Years of Appreciation Records" left by Shan Yue. He used to read it in order, but now he searched it purposefully.

Sure enough, Qin Zhouxu was not disappointed. Shan Yue really made some records about rhino horn cups, but only for rhino horn cups, and he did not mention other materials.

The so-called rhinoceros horns are divided into Asian rhinoceros and African rhinoceros. This is somewhat similar to ivory. After all, this kind of thing is an imported product. These things are rare in traditional Chinese culture, and they are common in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The price of the Asian rhinoceros is far higher than that of the African rhinoceros. The difference between the two is very large. If this cup is an African rhinoceros, then Qin Zhouxu can earn tens of thousands of yuan at most, but if it is identified as an Asian rhinoceros , then Qin Zhouxu posted it this time, and at least doubled it dozens of times.

Shan Yue just jotted down a few notes without going into details. Shan Yue pointed out that the identification of rhino horn mainly depends on the texture. Of course, the first thing you do when you get a rhino horn cup is to smell its smell. After all, it is rhino horn. Unique taste is bound to have.

When Qin Zhouxu saw this sentence, he couldn't help picking up the cup and smelling it. He fanned the smell with his hand and frowned. The smell was really unpleasant.

After smelling the smell, the most important step is to look at the texture. From two aspects, one is the cross-section, and the other is the side. Generally speaking, the cross-section will have the hollow tube fish roe pattern, while the side will have the bamboo silk pattern.

Some horns also have bamboo silk pattern, but its cross-section will never have caviar pattern, so this is the key to distinguish rhino horn from ox horn.

When Qin Zhouxu saw this, he understood that as long as there were these two points, it was enough. He carefully observed the texture of the horn cup, and sure enough, both of the characteristics recorded in Shan Yue's notes were present.

It looks good, this thing is a real rhinoceros horn cup, at least now, it will definitely not lose money, as long as it is identified as an Asian rhinoceros, then this cup will be considered a big profit.

It's a pity that Qin Zhouxu doesn't know how to distinguish between Asian rhinoceros and African rhinoceros, but he has another idea. If the value of this thing is not too high, he simply cuts a small piece and grinds it for medicinal materials.

Rhino horn is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, and it happens to be used to refine several new pills, so the value is far from simple.

But he doesn't need to worry, because there is a master appraiser by his side. Master Lu is Shan Yue's close friend. Although he is best at carving and likes to play with various jade stones, he must know something about rhino horns.

Qin Zhouxu got up early the next day. After everything was ready, he took the rhino horn cup and went straight to Master Lu's residence. If you want to ask others, you should run more times.

To say that Qin Zhouxu's luck is not so good, Master Lu happened to be at home, and he didn't get up too late. Master Lu has a good habit of doing Tai Chi in the yard every morning, so although Despite his age, his body is still in great shape.

When Qin Zhouxu arrived, Master Lu had just finished Taijiquan and was leaning on a recliner to drink tea. Seeing Qin Zhouxu walking in from the door, Master Lu was very happy, "Come on, little brother, come and have a taste." This year's new Liubao tea, my old man likes it the most."

Qin Zhouxu smiled slightly. He stepped forward and refilled a cup for Master Lu, and at the same time refilled a cup for himself. In front of Master Lu, Qin Zhouxu didn't have so many polite manners. On the contrary, I am not happy.
