Play treasure master

Chapter 68
"Zhong Yu's style really has a lot of quack air." After hanging up the phone, Yu Yao shook his head slightly.

"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." Pu Jie followed.

"That's not what it means." Yu Yao rubbed his face, and said with a pun, "Forget it, it's useless to think so much, let's have a full meal first!"

After dinner, the two also went to Luanjiajing Antique Street, and did not contact Lao Zhou and Lao Huang. They might have left at this moment.

This small street is about one kilometer long and very narrow, that is, the width of two or three meters. It is said that it has been remodeled in the past two years, and the street looks much more comfortable. It used to be a broken and old road with potholes; It has been renovated, and many places have also been turned into antique buildings.

On both sides of the street, there are almost all antique porcelain shops. From time to time, people can be seen carrying baskets with porcelain in and out of the small street.

"I'll go, pick up the old man and hit it directly on the signboard!" Pu Jie pointed to the billboard of a shop.

The so-called connecting the old bottom is to use the bottom of the old porcelain to connect the new upper part.When looking at porcelain, first look at the bottom. In addition to the reason for the inscription, the bottom is generally exposed, and the quality of the fetus can be seen, as well as the place where the glaze is combined, which is also the key to identification.Therefore, "receiving the old bottom" has become a common craft of porcelain fraud.

Yu Yao and Pu Jie didn't enter the store in a hurry, they just strolled along the street first, and they saw that besides the main street, there were many side roads on both sides.

There are many billboards similar to "receive the old ones", and there is no shyness that they are all antiques rather than real old.And at the entrance of the store, someone directly brushed the bottles and jars with potassium permanganate solution.

Potassium permanganate solution is mainly used to remove the light on the surface of porcelain, which is a relatively elementary method.

Generally, the newly made porcelain is different from the luster and moistness of the glaze of the old porcelain. It has a layer of fire, which is generally called thief light in the industry, which is an uncomfortable light.This is for veterans. For newcomers, the difference is subtle and hard to see.

In addition to shops that directly sell antique porcelain, there are also shops that undertake OEM processing and write inscriptions on behalf of them.Moreover, with so many stores, there are still many customers.Even if Yu Yao and Pu Jie didn't enter the store, they could more or less hear that most of the customers were antique dealers.

It is conceivable that a large number of antique porcelain flows into the national antique market every day.Here, it is clearly stated that it is antique porcelain, and it is based on the price of antique porcelain; but when it comes to antique markets in other places, it is tacit understanding what to sell and how much to sell.

After walking around for a while, Yu Yao lost interest. This place is indeed as the taxi driver said, it is basically high-end goods, well-made, which is just like the aluminous red color big flower cup bought by Lao Zhou; Those who do poorly can only fool around.

However, at the end, when Yu Yao was about to propose to leave, Pu Jie was at the door of a shop, looked inside, and found a large pot of Yuan blue and white Guiguzi descending the mountain, so he proposed to go in and have a look.

Yu Yao didn't object, and walked in together.

This store is relatively large, and there are a few customers in the store looking at the goods, who seem to be regular customers; while reading, they are holding a notebook and writing something, like the type and quantity of the goods they want.

Yu Yao and Pu Jie were new faces. As soon as they entered, a middle-aged woman greeted them, "What do you want?"

Pu Jie pointed to the big blue and white Guiguzi downhill jars of Yuan blue and white on the shelf, "What's the price?"

The Yuan blue and white Guiguzi descending mountain large pot, because it was sold for more than 2005 million yuan in [-], set the auction record for Chinese porcelain at that time, and it was very popular for a while, and almost everyone knew it.Coupled with the large picture of the story of Guiguzi going down the mountain, the composition and painting are very beautiful, so even a layman will often appreciate it after reading it.

All of a sudden, high imitations of Guiguzi's big jars sprung up like mushrooms after rain.There is only one genuine product, but many people want to have fun, so they buy a high imitation to play with.More than ten years have passed, and the popularity of high-quality imitations of Yuan blue and white Guiguzi descending the mountain has decreased, but the business is still good.

The middle-aged woman said with a smile, "It depends on which floor you want."

"Which floor?" Pu Jie was puzzled.

"It's the bottom, the middle, the top. As for the top, we can't do it."

The middle-aged woman explained.The so-called bottom layer refers to high-end goods; the middle layer is relatively finer, but the hair color and pictures are still a bit out of place.The high-level ones use specially prepared green materials and hire skilled painters.As for the top floor, it has a very high degree of simulation, and it is difficult for experts to identify it. Their shop can't do it.

Yu Yao looked at the items on the shelf, "Is this the high-level one?"

"Yes!" the middle-aged woman said, "This is a sample, you can take it away. There is still stock in the backyard, so you can get another one for you."

"How much is this?" Pu Jie asked.

"A few years ago, it was [-] pieces, but now it is [-]." The middle-aged woman continued, "[-] for the middle class, and a few thousand for the bottom class."

Yu Yao looked at Pu Jie, "Why do you always want to buy a high imitation? You didn't get that Ru kiln, and now you want to buy Yuan blue and white."

"We also have Ru Kiln." The middle-aged woman immediately responded, "It can still be engraved. Emperor Qianlong's three-legged washing machine is the best. An old engraver, you are satisfied."

Yu Yao couldn't laugh or cry, how could he smell the unique charm of antiques in Luanjiajing, an antique street?

Emperor Qianlong engraved characters on the Ru kiln tripod washers, which was a waste of money.Let the craftsman use diamonds to engrave a poem on the bottom of the three-legged washing, plus the inscription, a total of more than 30 characters, accounting for most of the bottom.

I really don't have diamonds, and I don't do porcelain work-the work of destroying precious Ru porcelain.

Moreover, it is more than just a Ru kiln three-legged wash!At present, there are less than one hundred pieces of Ru kiln porcelain known to be handed down from generation to generation.How many pieces did Qianlong engrave? 22 pieces!

He wrote a total of fifteen poems and carved 22 pieces of Ru porcelain.Some of the engravings are not poems, but some poems have been engraved more than one piece, which is probably his self-proclaimed proud work.

The problem is that the writing of these poems is really not very good, what's more terrible, among the fifteen poems, according to textual research, six of them are wrongly written.

For example, on a celadon-glazed Ru kiln bowl, the first two lines of his poem are: All kilns are made of Xiu Neisi, and so far there are too many bowls.

Well, it’s fine if the poem is rough, but this is a Ru kiln, but you have to call it Jun kiln (the former name of Jun kiln)!
In addition to porcelain, Qianlong has been diligent in destroying the beauty of cultural relics, and he has been tireless in destroying them.For example, the famous Wang Xizhi's "Quick Snow and Sunshine Post" has only 28 characters in total. This master kept writing and stamping for a long time, and stamped a total of 172 chapters before and after!

Just as Yu Yao was thinking, the phone rang suddenly.He picked it up and saw that it was Zhong Yu calling, so he walked out of the shop and picked it up.
