Jianbao life

Chapter 1100 It's actually the real thing

Qiao Qingtai laughed and said, "I didn't earn my money, you gave it to me!"

Qin Jin said angrily, "You still have the nerve to say that, don't you forget that you snatched my Hongwu blue and white magpie figure five gourd bottle!"

Qiao Qingtai looked at Qin Jin as if looking at a fool: "Old man Qin, I think you are really a nerd, so I asked you, were you there when I bought that thing?"

Qin Jin said angrily: "I'm not here, but I went to withdraw money, and I've already paid the deposit, and you still robbed me, you don't understand the rules, and you call me stupid, how can there be such a thing in the world?" The reason?!"

Qiao Qingtai said word by word: "How many times have I told you that the stall owner didn't tell me that you had reserved the item."

Qin Jin sneered and said, "I don't believe he will sell you something after he has already received a deposit."

Qiao Qingtai smiled and said, "Why is this impossible? What's your asking price, and what's my asking price?"

"Everyone, look at this man's face!"

Hearing this, Qin Jin raised his hand and nodded to Qiao Qingtai, and said with a look of deep hatred, "You admitted it yourself, but you still have the face to say you didn't rob me?"

Qiao Qingtai snorted: "It's really boring to deal with people like you. How many times have I told you that you are deaf or something? When I asked for the price, the stall owner didn't tell me that you paid for it. The deposit, it's his morality to go back on his word, it's nothing to do with me!"

Qin Jin sneered and said, "You said it anyway, but the boss also said that you insisted on buying him and threatened him."

"Except for the children, you are the only one with an IQ who would believe such words. I'm too lazy to talk to you. Believe it or not!" Qiao Qingtai waved his hand, not wanting to talk nonsense with him anymore.

Qin Jin snorted coldly, then sat down on the sofa with a straight face.

Seeing that the two elders were tense, the others looked at each other with wry smiles, and then one of the investigators took out the porcelain and put it on the coffee table.

When Chu Chen saw this real thing, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, because the shape of this "teapot" was really weird.

It can be seen that the whole body of this pot is covered with azure glaze, the glaze water is moist, the color of the glaze surface is relatively moist, and the body glaze is closely combined. The body glaze is in line with the characteristics of Ru kiln in the Song Dynasty.

What makes people look strange is that the body of the pot is triangular in shape, divided by six melon edges as a whole, and has two pot bellies protruding outward.The mouth of the pot is slightly open, with a lid that is also in the shape of an equilateral triangle. The strange thing is that its spout is disproportionately long, and it is made into an undulating shape that fits the shape of a human hand. And a handle.

And the spout can actually serve as a handle. When pouring tea, we hold the spout and pour out from the spout, just like modern people make some anti-traditional costumes and behaviors. Through this tea set, we seem to peep into the In the Song Dynasty 1000 years ago, people were unwilling to be mediocre and dared to be extraordinary, creating a spiritual outlook with different tastes in life.

In fact, such a "teapot" Chu Chen has seen it in picture albums before, and it is now hidden in the Guohua Museum in the United States. The key point is that in comparison, the two objects are exactly the same in shape, which has to be said to be a suspicious point.

Of course, it does not mean that there are no identical utensils handed down from Ru kiln, but there are very few such special utensils that are the same.

After more than ten minutes, seeing Chu Chen put the things back in place, Qiao Qingtai asked, "Director Chu, what's your opinion?"

Now this kind of occasion is more formal, and in order to show respect for Chu Chen, Qiao Qingtai must of course address him more formally.

Chu Chen looked around first, and then said: "As for the shape of the vessel, I think it should be changed from the 盉. The belly is edge-discriminated and inherits the characteristics of the melon-edge pot from the Five Dynasties. I don't know what you think?"

There was a moment of silence, then everyone nodded in agreement.

Chu Chen continued: "Then let's continue. First of all, we have to admire the producer's superb craftsmanship and rich experience..."

"I don't quite agree with that."

Qin Jin interrupted Chu Chen, and said: "I think it's good that the maker has superb craftsmanship, but the rich experience is not enough. If nothing else, we all know that the carcass of Ru kiln porcelain is thinner and lighter, but this The fetal quality of this utensil, it really can’t be said how thin it is?”

"I think this point is correct. Why do I think so? Let me start with the tire quality of Ru Kiln."

Chu Chen explained with a smile: "It is generally believed that in order to maintain the glaze color of Ru kiln wares in the Northern Song Dynasty, they had to give up the porcelain body of the porcelain body. At a temperature of 1150-1200 degrees, the body appeared to be burnt. Therefore, the body The texture is loose, and the buckle sounds like wood. This kind of argument is generally correct, but in fact we have ignored a fact.”

"I don't know if you know. During the excavation of the Ru kiln site, a filter pool and a Chengni pool were found. These two pools were set up for firing tribute porcelain. The kaolin in the capital of porcelain was not known in the Northern Song Dynasty, only You can use some kind of local porcelain clay from Ru Kiln, crush it, filter it, soak it in water, pour the muddy water from the upper layer into the mud pool after stirring, and settle out fine porcelain clay over time.”

"The impurities in these porcelain clays have been removed in the above-mentioned process. Using this kind of clear mud as the body, the color after sintering is 'white with a little gray head', which can ensure the purity of the azure or sky blue glaze of Ru kiln wares. But this kind of clear mud tire has the disadvantage of looseness, which is characterized by strong water absorption, silty cross-section, and no crystallization appearance.”

"In addition, this will lead to a shortcoming of Ru Kiln, which is the strength of the finished product. In this way, when making small utensils, the finished product can be as thin as possible, but when making larger objects, it can only choose thicker for strength. In fact, it is precisely because of this that there is a saying that "the soil veins of Ru wares are more moist than those of official kilns, and the thin ones are more expensive."

After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, there was silence in the living room, and finally everyone agreed with Chu Chen's statement.

At this time, Qin Jin said again: "Let's not talk about the carcass, let me just say why it has more impurities in the carcass, and it is not as delicate as some handed down products at all?"

Chu Chen smiled and said: "Of course it is impossible to make tribute porcelain so sloppily, but there are still Ru kilns for civilian use. Like the precipitation step I just mentioned, most Ru kiln wares for civilian use are omitted, so there are many impurities in the fetal soil, and the fetal color is gray. Fortunately, the glaze color of civil wares is not strict, and everything from moon white to bean green can be sold."

"You mean, this Ru kiln is for civilian use?"

Qin Jin laughed when he heard what Chu Chen said, as if he had discovered the biggest joke in the world.

Seeing this situation, Qiao Qingtai frowned and said, "You have something to say, but you haven't listened to Director Chu's explanation, why do you think what he said is wrong?"

Qin Jin put away his smile, waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll ask you..."

Next, Qin Jin said what he thought was wrong one by one, and Chu Chen also answered them one by one. In the end, Qin Jin didn't have a smile on his face, because what he thought was wrong, It was all refuted by Chu Chen.

"Then you mean that this Ru kiln is still a genuine product?" Qin Jin asked.

Chu Chen nodded and said, "I think it is indeed a genuine product of a folk kiln, and it is also a rare fine product of the people."

Qin Jin sneered: "Hehe, then I'm going to ask, have you seen such a fine product in Minruzhong before? Besides, if so, why is it the same shape as the one in the Guohua Museum?"

"I haven't seen it before, but I can't say no."

Chu Chen explained: "As for the reason, it is not difficult to explain. Judging from the results of the excavation of Ru Kiln, I think Minru and Gongru may just be two parallel lines, not sequential or causal. High-quality Those selected by the government as tribute to the court can be sold. This can be proved by Zhou Hui’s "Qingbo Magazine" in the Southern Song Dynasty."

Everyone has read "Qingbo Magazine" by Zhou Hui from the Southern Song Dynasty, and there is indeed a record in this regard: "It is forbidden to burn in the palace of Ru Kiln, and there is agate powder in it as glaze. rare."

Chu Chen continued, "Since that's the case, the two questions you've been talking about should be easy to explain."

Hearing this, Qin Jin couldn't think of a reason to refute for a moment, but he still put on an expression of disagreeing with Chu Chen's conclusion.

At this time, a case investigator asked: "Curator Chu, are you sure it is a genuine product?"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Strictly speaking, I still dare not use the word affirmation, but based on my experience, I haven't found a single problem."

Of course, that being said, based on his abilities, he can still be sure that this thing is genuine.It’s just antique appraisal, sometimes you can’t talk too much, otherwise even if what you say is correct, you will feel a little immature, especially when Chu Chen is still so young, you should pay more attention.

The investigators couldn't help frowning when they heard the words: "But why would he sell the real thing?"

Chu Chen said: "Even if that person is Cai Jianxuan's accomplice, why would he definitely sell fakes? Besides, in this case, in order not to expose his target, he would not take out fakes, right? Actually, you have I didn't think about it, if the other party did this, it would be a suspicious formation, and after attracting your attention, it would be easy to escape."

"There is such a possibility, but he was very wrong in thinking that he could escape by doing so." Speaking of this, the investigators smiled, with a confident expression on their faces.

Chu Chen chuckled. He is not an expert in handling cases. He didn't say much in this regard, but he also made an opinion and said, "Actually, you may investigate him in a different direction."

"Which direction?" The investigator asked quickly.

Chu Chen said: "The unearthed features of this thing are actually quite obvious, such as this, this, and this. You can definitely start from this aspect."

"That's right!" The case investigator suddenly realized: "Even if it is confirmed that this is a fake, he will lose money at most, but buying and selling unearthed cultural relics... Haha, Director Chu, thank you so much!"

"It's okay, this is what I should do." Chu Chen smiled and waved his hands, expressing that you are welcome.

With a goal, the investigators immediately got up and left. As for Qin Jin, who had conflicts with Qiao Qingtai, and felt ashamed in front of Chu Chen, he also left directly with the investigators.Since they came together, the other two experts also bid farewell together.

After sending these people away, Qiao Qingqin said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, you have seen how old man Qin is. He has a small belly and no grace at all. I don't know how such a person can become an expert."

Then, Qiao Qingtai poured bitter water again: "You don't know, when I bought that jade pot and spring bottle, he was like a rabies attack. He looked like a sinner through the ages if I didn't return it. The key is , He wants me to sell it to him at the original price I bought, what do you call this? How can there be such a reason? "

"The most annoying thing is that since then, every time I go to the market to buy something, he will come to make trouble eight out of ten times after seeing it, and he doesn't care about his professional ethics at all. Humph! The responsibility is all on my head, and you still do such a disgusting thing, you want me to give in, there is no way!"

Chu Chen chuckled when he heard the words. Judging from the contact just now, Qin Jin is indeed not very generous. Of course, it may also be due to the envy of his enemies when they met, because he had not had much contact with Qin Jin before. No side expresses any views on this aspect.

"Mr. Qiao, I'm a little curious about the jade pot and spring vase you mentioned. I wonder if I can appreciate it?" Chu Chen asked Yan with a smile.

"Of course it's fine..."

Qiao Qingtai waved his hand, then brought Chu Chen to his treasure room, and took out the jade pot spring bottle.

Seeing the real thing, Chu Chen somewhat understood why Qin Jin was so angry, because this jade pot and spring vase is a cultural relic of the national treasure level, and its current value is at least tens of millions.Whoever is robbed of such a treasure will feel uncomfortable. If his temper is a little smaller, then Qin Jin's current behavior can be easily explained.

However, Chu Chen felt that Qin Jin was really stupid. Since he found this treasure, why did he leave so easily?What's more, what he did to Qiao Qingtai later was a bit too much, breaking the rules. Although Qiao Qingtai suffered a disadvantage, the one who suffered the most was himself.

The reason is simple, since you don't obey the rules anymore, do you still expect others to obey the rules?
"Doesn't he have a mobile phone?" Chu Chen thought of a question.

Qiao Qingtai laughed: "He is an old antique, how can he use such a high-tech thing as a mobile phone? However, since he suffered this loss, I heard from my friends that he also bought a mobile phone now, and it took him a month to learn how to use it. How to use it, really makes me laugh. Forget it, let’s not mention this old guy, Xiao Chu, please help me to comment on these collections of mine.”

"Old Qiao, it's too polite to say that. I can't wait for such a good opportunity..."
