Jianbao life

Chapter 940 Li Guiheng

At this time, Fang Jinbo said, "There are so many copper coins here, let's look for them and see if there are any other carved mothers."

"One is enough, I don't expect to have more." Qi Baofu laughed, but even though he said that, he still had some small expectations in his heart, so he squatted down and rummaged again.

Unexpectedly, Fang Jinbo was really right. There was indeed a carved mother in these copper coins, which made Qi Baofu couldn't believe his eyes.

This carving mother is the "Diaomu" of "Daoguang" Baoyuan Bureau. The golden mouth has not been opened, and it is in excellent condition without any flaws. The standard carver of the manufacturing office is synthesized in one go, and it is really a rare and perfect collection.

After seeing it, Chu Chen handed it to Qi Baofu, and said, "It is indeed a genuine product. Although it is not as precious as the one just now, it is still worth tens of thousands."

Fang Jinbo smiled and said, "Old Qi, it's alright, the time is turning."

Qi Baofu said with a smile on his face: "Not really, after all, you also know where these copper coins come from, so you must compensate my friend."

That's what he said, but for him, it was only the first time he had encountered such a good thing, and the corners of his mouth were about to crack to the back of his ears.

At this moment, Mrs. Qi came in, and seeing Qi Baofu's happy face, she asked, "Why, what happened?"

"Is it a good thing to pick up two leaks?" Qi Baofu said triumphantly.

"You missed it too?" Mrs. Qi was surprised, and then asked, "How much money did you make?"

"About 40 to [-]." Qi Baofu replied with a smile.

"That's all. You don't even look at how much money you've spent over the years. Let me tell you, if you go shopping blindly because it's so rare, I want you to look good!" Mrs. Qi said solemnly. A word of warning.

Qi Baofu said with a smile: "Hehe, don't worry, I'm going to study for a while, and I won't be as blind as before in collecting in the future."

"Really?" Mrs. Qi expressed doubts.

Qi Baofu nodded heavily: "This time I will do what I say. Besides, with Teacher Chu and Xiaofang testifying, if I go back on my word, I will be ashamed to face others."

"Okay, then I'll wait and see..."

Mrs. Qi also showed a smile on her face after hearing this, and then she smiled and greeted everyone to go out for dinner. However, she had just walked a few steps when she suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, just now, Lao Li I called and said that I asked you to have dinner, go to his house, and let me tell you."

"He didn't say anything?" Qi Baofu asked.

"No." Mrs. Qi shook her head: "However, I think he probably bought a few more antiques. I want your help. If that's the case, what are you going to do?"

Seeing his wife looking at him, Qi Baofu smiled and said: "Today, Teacher Chu will help you. You can definitely tell if it's true or not. If it's genuine, it's okay to help Lao Li."

Mrs. Qi heard the words, walked up to Qi Baofu, and said in a low voice: "It's okay to help, but don't charge a lot of money, you know!"

"Understood, I'm not a fool." Qi Baofu smiled, and secretly said: "Just because Lao Li asked me to pick up leaks twice, then I have to do my best."

Mrs. Qi didn't know what was going on in Qi Baofu's mind, but she felt relieved when she saw what Qi Baofu said, and warmly entertained Chu Chen and Fang Jinbo.

Satisfied with wine and food, Qi Baofu planned to give Chu Chen a red envelope as today's reward, but Chu Chen did not accept it. Originally, he came to help with the identification because we were friends, otherwise he might as well accompany Wu Ke They go shopping.

"Old Qi, we are all friends, so don't do this, just treat me to a few more meals next time."

Qi Baofu laughed and said: "As long as you have time, I can treat you to dinner every day."

Chu Chen joked: "Then sister-in-law's craftsmanship is wasted."

Mrs. Qi said: "I wish he could eat outside every day, so that he doesn't always think this food is bad or that bad food."

Qi Baofu chuckled and said, "Isn't this training your cooking skills?"

Mrs. Qi glared at him: "You have the guts to say it..."

After the joke, everyone drank tea for a while, and then, led by Qi Baofu, went to a friend's house in the next unit.

Qi Baofu's friend is named Li Guiheng, who is about the same age as Buqi Baofu. He looks thinner and wears a pair of eye-rim glasses, just like an old scholar. According to Qi Baofu's introduction, he used to be a high school math teacher, because Due to physical reasons, he retired early.

Li Guiheng stayed at home and had nothing to do. A few years ago, he accidentally came into contact with the antique industry.

Li Guiheng was very happy to see Qi Baofu coming over, and when he saw Chu Chen, the excitement on his face was beyond words. Please enter the living room and make a cup of tea for everyone.

After Qi Baofu took a sip of tea, he asked, "Old Li, why did you ask me to come here?"

Li Guiheng rubbed his hands and said with a sneer: "No, two days ago I used my private money to buy a five-color birthday plate from the Kangxi official kiln, and my wife found out about it by accident, and it happened that I used up my quota for this month. You should understand."

After hearing this, Qi Baofu asked with a strange expression: "I said, Lao Li, you won't buy it wrong again, right? Can you afford the five-colored birthday plate from the Kangxi official kiln?"

Li Guiheng explained with a smile: "Of course I can't afford the complete one. Mine is only damaged. But don't worry, there are not many damaged ones. It is guaranteed to be worth the money."

Qi Baofu said: "Yeah, I don't know what's going on just by listening to it, so why don't you take it out, Lao Li, to have a look."

"Here, I've already prepared..."

Li Guiheng took out a box, and after opening it, what was inside was the colorful birthday dish he just mentioned.

This dish has a straight mouth, round lips, a slightly bulging belly, a flat bottom, and short circle feet.The whole body is covered with white glaze, and the lower part of the inner wall is decorated with alum red bat patterns.In the center of the plate, there is a picture of immortal deer and elders presenting their birthdays.Shoulao embraces the Ruyi drawn in alum red, followed by a servant boy, next to the servant boy is a casual table, on which is a fairy stove, and a fairy deer next to it.

The composition of this device is vivid, the colors are gorgeous, the drawing is fine, the characters look very vivid, and the details of the clothing are very delicate.In addition, the bottom of the plate is written with the double-line regular script of "Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty", and there are also several bumps on the edge of the plate.

Seeing that Chu Chen put the plate back into the box, Li Guiheng asked, "Mr. Chu, is this plate not bad?"

Chu Chen hesitated for a moment, thinking that he came here today to help Qi Baofu hold eyes, so he said truthfully: "Mr. Li, I don't think much about this colorful birthday plate."

"What?" Li Guiheng was startled when he heard the words, and when he came back to his senses, he frowned and said, "I made comparisons based on the characteristics of some pieces of five-color porcelain from the Kangxi period in my collection. How could it be wrong?"

Hearing this, Chu Chen was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Mr. Li, you must have made a mistake. Judging from the glaze on the plate, it is definitely impossible for it to be official kiln porcelain from the Kangxi period."

Li Guiheng shook his head: "I'm sure I'm not mistaken, if you don't believe me, I'll show you..."

After speaking, he stood up and walked quickly to the back room.

"Mr. Chu, what's going on?" Qi Baofu knew that his old friend would not lie about this matter, but with Chu Chen's eyesight, he should not be wrong, so he was a little confused about this matter.

Chu Chen smiled, looking confident, and said, "Let's talk about this when Teacher Li comes back."

After a while, Li Guiheng came back with a big box. Because the box was relatively big, he put it directly next to the coffee table and opened it. Inside were all large and small porcelain pieces.

"Mr. Chu, look, these pieces of Kangxi colorful porcelain have the same characteristics as this colorful plate." Li Guiheng picked out a few pieces of porcelain and put them in front of Chu Chen.

Chu Chen picked up the tiles and looked at them. Having figured it out, he asked, "Mr. Li, have you heard of 'throwing jade to attract bricks'?"

"Is it really 'throwing jade to attract bricks'?" Li Guiheng was a little confused.

"Yes, it's 'throwing jade to attract bricks', this is a common trick in the antique market..." Chu Chen introduced "throwing jade to attract bricks" to everyone.

There are generally two methods of "throwing jade to attract bricks". One is to put a long line to catch big fish. Specifically, it is like the scam used by Kang Yonghui. Antiques, then sold to someone for a low price.

Since the buyer had just entered the business, he took a few things to the experts to see, and the experts also believed that the things were genuine and the prices were cheap.Since then, the buyer has been full of trust in the "antique dealer" and has bought hundreds of thousands of things one after another.Later, when the buyer found out that something was wrong, he went to the "antique dealer" again, but the shop was closed and the people disappeared.

There is also a method of "throwing jade to attract bricks" invented by "antique dealers" in recent years.An "antique dealer" first sold some porcelain pieces to buyers very cheaply, some of which were real and some were fake, and the real and fake were mixed.The buyer then studies the tiles carefully. He knows that the porcelain with the characteristics of the tiles is real, and he will not buy the porcelain that does not have the characteristics of the tiles.

When the buyer researches and has some experience, the big brick will be attracted. "Antique dealers" will promptly sell fakes to buyers. The characteristics of the fakes are exactly the same as those of some of the porcelain pieces he studied. How can buyers not be fooled?

After introducing two examples of "throwing jade to attract bricks", Chu Chen said: "Mr. Li, the person who sells the tiles and this plate must be the same person."

Li Guiheng's face turned red and then turned pale, and after a while, he nodded and said: "It is indeed the same... But, I also have some art skills, the patterns on this plate are obviously very vivid, I am not a high-level master Shouldn't it be possible to draw it? My plate only costs a few thousand yuan, is it worth it?"
