Chapter 630 I also rely on my nose
After listening to Pu Jie's words, the girl didn't feel embarrassed at all, "Such good wine is indeed rare, so let's just say it's alright?"

"I've been telling you for a long time that you don't believe me, but these two wines are on the table." Pu Jie blinked, "Maybe it's because of the effect of mixing and heating."

"Mix and heat?" The girl frowned slightly, "Impossible!"

"Okay." Yu Yao interrupted at this time, "You can just quote the price, if you don't drink, don't mention it."

The girl thought for a while, then put away the painting, "Don't talk about the wine, I won't sell it yet!"

Pu Jie was taken aback, "This is the first time I see a female alcoholic."

"Say what?" The girl stared.

"Is it really not for sale?" Yu Yao asked.

"Correct!"

"Alright, our place is an antique shop after all." Yu Yao lit a cigarette again, "It's getting late, be careful on the road."

After hearing this, the girl turned around and faced Yu Yao, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, didn't you say you won't sell it? You mean to see off customers."

"It's an antique shop after all? You say my paintings are not old?"

"I didn't say, it's because you think too much."

"No, since I'm here to sell paintings and you want to accept them, you have to explain clearly after you evaluate them!" The girl gritted her teeth.

Yu Yao smiled, "First, you are no longer selling, and second, I haven't commented on your paintings."

"Don't be vague, this is the work of Shangguan Zhou in the early Qing Dynasty, of course it is a standard antique!" The girl suddenly patted the painting on the Eight Immortals table, and then sat down.

Pu Jie looked at Yu Yao, but said nothing.

"I asked for the price because the painting is good." Yu Yao smiled slightly, "If it's cheap, I can accept this painting. But you can't accept the price of Shangguan Zhou's works."

"What the hell do you mean?"

"Since you won't sell it, let's not talk about it."

The girl suddenly said, "Okay, tell me, if what you say convinces me, I'll give it to you for nothing!"

Yu Yao looked at the girl, "Isn't it you who drew this painting?"

The girl was taken aback, "You? You... what are you talking about?"

Pu Jie laughed suddenly, "So that's what happened!"

Yu Yao waved his hand and gave Pu Jie a wink, "Just kidding. However, this is definitely not Shangguan Zhou's work. The key issue is not the artist, but the old-fashioned one."

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move.The girl pondered for a while, and pointed at the painting, "Okay! I will do what I say! I agree! I will give you the painting, but you have to tell me what the problem is!"

"Your paper is not old paper." Naturally, Yu Yao wouldn't unfold it all, so he spoke concisely.

"Keep talking!" The girl raised her eyebrows slightly.

"You are a fake painting, how can you be confident?" Yu Yao suddenly raised his voice, "I'll point it out to you, and you should shut up. Will I tell you the key to identification?"

To make this ancient painting old, if the old paper of the same period is not used, then the paper must be "aged".

For a new painting, there are two common ways to make it old, one is called direct dyeing method, and the other is called dyeing method.

As the name suggests, the direct dyeing method is direct dyeing, such as overnight strong tea, such as diluted vinegar, directly smeared or sprayed.Of course, there will also be corresponding auxiliary means, not once or twice, and it will take time to settle, and it is not so simple to complete.

The fumigation method is smoke, and the material used for ignition is a bit particular, because the smoke from different materials produces different color sensations, and the color of coconut shell is relatively fast.

However, since the direct dyeing method and the dyeing method are used the most, it is difficult to hide it from the eyes of the masters.

This painting did not use these two methods, but in the process of painting, the back of the paper was dyed at the same time, using special materials; at the same time, after the painting was completed, the front was irradiated with ultraviolet rays to accelerate the weathering of the paper and to Can be integrated with the background color.

In this way, it is difficult to detect the clues just by looking at the front of the framed painting.

With Yu Yao's eyesight, he could only feel that something was wrong, and he couldn't be 100% sure.However, this is a whole picture, since it doesn't feel right, combined with other problems, Yu Yao can be completely sure.

Another problem is the problem of the seal.

When looking at porcelain, first look at the bottom, and when looking at paintings, first look at the signature and seal.

The two seals on this painting, the details of the strokes are not a big problem, the problem lies in the ink pad.

Hearing Yu Yao's words, the girl couldn't help shaking her shoulders slightly, her original vivacity disappeared immediately, and she clenched her hands, "I didn't expect such an expert to exist in such a small antique shop!"

"Antique shops have no size, only the level of the palm of your hand!" Yu Yao raised his hand, "You are a girl, I will not bully you, you go! But I have to keep this painting, you If you come to my shop and call for a place, you won’t be able to leave something behind!”

"I've said it all, I won't break my promise." The girl bit her lip, "I didn't want to come in..."

"Okay, okay, let's go!" Pu Jie stepped forward and said at this time, "Little beauty, the water in the antique store is very deep, so be more careful in the future."

The girl got up slowly, looked at Yu Yao, "There will be a time later! I will remember you!" After saying that, she turned and walked out of the store without looking back.

Pu Jie waited for her to leave, closed the store door again, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, and said at the same time: "I didn't expect to be a beautiful drunkard, and this matter is a mistake. Do you suspect that she is the Academy of Fine Arts?" Fake members of the small team?"

"Shangguan Zhou was born in common clothes. The brushwork of the characters is chic and there is a kind of folk style. This painting is well imitated, but it has a bookish look, which is a little soft. Combined with her words and deeds, it is probably her. Painted. However, I don't know if she is a student of the Academy of Fine Arts."

"You don't need to speak so profoundly, I don't understand." Pu Jie turned around and sat down, "Let's talk about specific technical issues, what's wrong with the aging of this paper?"

"This paper is old-fashioned, and the technique is quite high. Although it doesn't feel right, I can't judge it 100%. I mainly judge it based on the ink pad." Yu Yao replied.

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Actually, I was attracted by the smell of wine just like her, and I also smelled it through my nose."

"Ah?" Pu Jie interjected, "This seems to be Zhu Yu's ink pad."

"I've made progress!" Yu Yao nodded.

There are two main types of ancient inkpads, one is pure cinnabar inkpad and the other is cinnabar inkpad.

Pure cinnabar ink pad is made from the cinnabar deposited in the bottom layer when bleaching and making cinnabar. It is vermilion, thick and bright.

The cinnabar inkpad is just the opposite of the pure cinnabar inkpad. It is made from the fine cinnabar powder in the upper layer during bleaching, and then mixed with ai silk and vegetable oil.

There are very few materials that can be obtained for this cinnabar ink pad. For tens of kilograms of cinnabar, you can get about one kilogram, and the processing method is relatively complicated, so cinnabar ink pad is more expensive than cinnabar ink pad.

The color of the ink pad is reddish-yellow, like the color of ripe tangerine peel.

"In ancient times, the ink pads of Zhu Fu were prepared with refined rapeseed oil or castor oil. However, if the seals of the Qing Dynasty were used today, there would be no smell at all. But the two seals on this painting are faintly still. It smells like rapeseed oil." Yu Yao further explained.

"Good guy!" Pu Jie laughed loudly, "Although the smell of rapeseed oil is a bit special, you have a good nose!"

After laughing, Pu Jie asked again, "There is one more question. Why do you insist on keeping her imitation painting? It seems a bit troublesome."

　I wish you all a happy National Day and a pleasant holiday.
