Jianbao life

Chapter 558 Appreciation Activities ([-])

There was a lot of people at the scene, and many people were asking how to donate. Seeing this, Director Xu was also very excited. There are several highlights in this episode because of Chu Chen. The show will definitely become popular, and he will benefit a lot by then.

Seeing that many people had already asked the staff, Director Xu hurriedly said loudly: "Guests, friends, first of all thank you for your love, but this time Aunt Li came here mainly because there is a Buddha statue at home that needs to be appraised and donated. Let's wait until Aunt Li's Buddha statue has been appraised!"

"Ma'am, I'll give you my seat. I'll go to the back and line up again."

"Yes, yes, yes! Come to me..." Seeing what Director Xu said, all the treasure holders in the front row rushed to say.

"What you said, can't we carry forward our style?" The people behind were a little unhappy.

"Yeah! It doesn't matter if you wait a while..."

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Aunt Li's gratitude is beyond words.

"Sister-in-law, let me take a look at the Buddha statue in your hand!" Guan Guokang waved to Aunt Li.

"Oh! Good... good!" Aunt Li hurried over and carefully placed the Buddha statue in front of Guan Guokang.

Guan Guokang smiled and nodded to Aunt Li, signaling her not to be nervous, and then picked up the Buddha statue and looked at it.

This statue is a well-known Maitreya statue, about [-] centimeters high, made of Dehua white porcelain. Maitreya Buddha has a round and broad body, a round head and big ears, ears hanging down the shoulders, a festive face, and a bare chest.The right hand holds Buddhist beads on the right knee, and the left hand holds a cloth bag. Beside the left knee, various treasures can be seen scattered from the mouth of the cloth bag, including coral, copper coins, orbs, silver ingots, etc., symbolizing continuous wealth.

Sitting on the ground with legs curled up and feet together, the folds of clothes overlap and hang down.The statue of Maitreya can be described as vivid in shape, dynamic and natural, and lifelike.On the back, there is a four-character seal script inscription "Lin Chaojing Yin", which was inscribed by Lin Chaojing, a famous porcelain maker in the late Ming Dynasty.

Lin Chaojing is a famous porcelain carving artist, and it is said that he is the descendant of Lin Bing, the "Yaofanggong" who founded Dehua Dragon Kiln in Song Dynasty.He lived in a similar age to He Chaozong, and his works have sharp and smooth lines, and his image is ready to emerge.Porcelain sculpture of good people.His works were sold well in Europe and America in the 17th century, and some of his works are still collected by museums and collectors.
Guan Guokang observed carefully for a while, and confirmed that this should be a genuine product. Unfortunately, the left hand of the Maitreya statue was a little damaged, which affected the value of the Buddha statue.

It just made Guan Guokang feel a little strange that the bottom of the Buddha statue was actually sealed with a wooden board painted with red paint. Generally speaking, such an act was not necessary, as if it was deliberately used to cover something.

"Is there something wrong with this Buddha statue, or is there something hidden inside the Buddha statue?" Guan Guokang frowned slightly, thinking so.

Seeing Guan Guokang's expression, not only Aunt Li, but everyone else was also quite nervous. If this thing is a fake, it would be too cruel for Aunt Li.

"Old Guan, can you show me the Buddha statue!"

Chu Chen could see at a glance what Guan Guokang was wondering about. He had used his supernatural powers on this Buddha statue from the very beginning. It is estimated that no one at the scene knew this Buddha statue better than him.

"Ok!"

Guan Guokang came back to his senses, handed the Buddha statue to Chu Chen, then raised his head to see Mrs. Li worried and entangled, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, your Buddha statue is indeed made by Lin Chaojing."

"Wow, it's actually Lin Chaojing's work, so that's at least half of the doctor's money."

"Who is Lin Chaojing? Are his works really so valuable?"

"Lin Chaojing is a famous porcelain carving artist in the Ming Dynasty. He lived in the same era as He Chaozong. Although his works are not as famous as Chaozong, his level is still very high..."

When the crowd was discussing, Aunt Li also asked: "Master, how much is this Buddha statue of mine worth?"

Guan Guokang considered it for a while, and then said: "Because the left hand of the Buddha statue is damaged, which affects its value, I estimate it can be worth about 15!"

In fact, Guan Guokang also sympathized with Aunt Li very much. If it wasn't for this occasion, he could have quoted a little more. Now, he can only quote a market price.

"There are really so many?" Aunt Li was stunned, and then asked with surprise.

Guan Guokang nodded: "The market price of this Buddha statue is indeed so much, but I would like to ask one thing, do you know what is going on with the bottom cover of this Buddha statue?"

"Bottom cover?" Aunt Li glanced at the Buddha statue suspiciously, then shook her head and said, "I don't know, this Buddha statue looked like this when my husband left it to me. Is there any problem?"

Guan Guokang shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, Chu Chen got up, walked up to him with a Buddha statue, leaned forward, pointed to the backcourt and said, "Old Guan, can you go over there for a while?"

Guan Guokang didn't ask any more questions, he stood up and walked aside with Chu Chen, and several other experts also walked over together.

"Xiao Chu, what's the matter with you?"

"Old Guan, I think there is something inside this Buddha statue." Chu Chen laughed.

"Why do you think there is something inside?" Guan Guokang asked with great interest.

"Because the bottom cover is really nondescript, there is a feeling that there is no silver 300 taels here." Chu Chen replied with a smile.

Guan Guokang nodded: "That's right, you mean to pry open the bottom cover to take a look?"

Chu Chen shook his head: "It will break if you pry it open!"

"How do you open the bottom cover if you don't pry it?" Guan Guokang asked curiously.

"I don't know if you've ever heard of Duzhongtang?" Chu Chen asked with a smile.

"Douzhongtang?" Guan Guokang was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, why didn't I think of this!"

"What is the belly hall?" Lu Changshun next to him looked curious.

Guan Guokang explained: "The hall in the belly is a mechanism invented by the ancients, specially used to hide more precious objects."

Hearing what Guan Guokang said, everyone understood, so Lu Changshun asked again: "Since it is an agency, do you know how to open it?"

Chu Chen said: "I've opened it twice. If it's an ordinary belly button, you only need to use a needle to open it. If you need a special key, it will be more troublesome to open it."

In fact, he has encountered things related to Duzhongtang three times, but this time it was related to Zhang Huoni's treasure map, so he didn't say it.

"Good boy, you've driven it twice, and have you encountered any good things?" Guan Guokang asked with a smile.

"Just a piece of jade pendant and a field yellow seal embryo." Chu Chen said with a chuckle.

Wang Xiangong said with a smile: "That's not bad! I don't know what treasure is hidden in that Buddha statue!"
Chu Chen said: "You will only know this when you open it, but all this is just my guess. If not, the bottom cover will look a bit unsightly without paint. Otherwise, if it is not for the belly, Let me buy that Buddha statue?"

Guan Guokang scolded with a smile: "You boy, it's a good idea. I dealt with that Buddha statue first. If you want to buy it, I have to buy it first!"

At this time, Zou Ying came over and asked with a smile: "Teachers, have you discussed it?"
"Already done, let's go..."

When the experts came to their original positions, Chu Chen said, "Ma'am, we suspect that there is something hidden in your Buddha statue."

"Ah! Is there something?" Aunt Li was very surprised when she heard what Chu Chen said, and the crowd began to discuss in amazement.

"Yes, there are indeed things, but if you want to take out the contents, you have to scrape off the paint on the bottom cover, so I want to ask for your opinion."

Speaking of this, Chu Chen quickly added: "If we guess wrong, we will buy it at the price just now."

Chu Chen's words cleared away Aunt Li's worries, she nodded quickly and said, "Then open it!"

Seeing that Aunt Li agreed, Chu Chen immediately asked the staff to come over with a knife and a needle, ready to start scraping the paint.

"Mr. Chu, don't you know how long it will take?" Director Xu stepped forward and asked. If it takes a long time, he will ask other experts to continue the appraisal.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "A few minutes will be enough, but it has been delayed for some time. Teachers, please continue to appraise, but it is a bit delayed for the time of my Tibetan friends."

"It's okay! It's okay!" All the Tibetan friends in front of Chu Chen said that it didn't matter. Speaking of which, they were also very curious at this time, and wanted to see if there was anything hidden in this Buddha statue.

Opening the belly hall, Chu Chen was already familiar with the road, and soon he scraped off most of the paint on the bottom cover, revealing the trace of the square in the middle and the keyhole.

Because he had learned through the Lingbao Eye in advance that this was just an ordinary mechanism, so Chu Chen picked up the needle and pierced it in the keyhole, and only heard a "beep", and the middle cover popped off. come out.

"Hey, there is really something hidden inside!" Seeing this situation, someone shouted at the scene of the treasure appraisal activity.

"Haha, it's really strange. Next time I see a Buddha statue like this, I must try it. Maybe there is something hidden in it?"

"You just have to! This is the first time I have encountered such a situation. If such good things are everywhere, then everyone can make a fortune by picking up the leaks."

"That's right! That's right! When this program is released, I guess some profiteers might purposely press a cover under the Buddha statue and paint it, so as to lure you into the bait!"

"It's really possible when you say that! No, you really need to pay attention to this matter, don't be fooled by then..."

While the crowd was discussing, Chu Chen also took out the contents of the Buddha statue, which was a small Tianhuang seal that he had seen with his Lingbao eyes in advance.
