I'm really the king of leaks

Chapter 57
"Xiaoyi, you're so amazing, you're already living in Cuiwei Hua Mansion?"

Only then did Zhang Yi realize the problem.

"Uncle Chen, do you believe me when I said I rented a house here?"

"I believe!"

"Huh? Do you believe this?"

"It's not unusual for something strange to happen to you! Isn't it?"

Uncle Chen seems to have said something very philosophical.

then.

He took out a flashlight, a magnifying glass, and his backpack from his co-pilot's storage box.

It looks very professional.

"Uncle Chen, our equipment seems to be short of a Luoyang shovel, right?"

"What are you thinking about? I've read too much of the tomb robbery notes! Return the Luoyang shovel, and I'll give you a box cannon, and a big rice dumpling, okay?"

The two talked nonsense while driving to the location of the "ghost market".

The old street of the ancient city, Dongdajie, further east, past the Drum Tower, and the other side, farther away, is basically an inaccessible place to visit the ancient street.

This street is called Qingling Street, and there is another street in front of it called Duizi Street.

Find a place and park the car.

The two of them took those "equipment" to the ghost market.

At this point, other places on the ancient street are all in darkness.Only, after passing the Old Drum Tower, there are sporadic lights on the streets ahead.

The lights look very dim, and from a distance, there is a feeling of erratic will-o'-the-wisps.

This is the atmosphere of the ghost city and the origin of the name "ghost city".

but.

After getting closer, you can feel that this place is actually very lively.At this point, the stalls have not yet been fully set up, and the people on the street are already coming and going.

Next.

Holding flashlights and carrying backpacks, the two walked around the roadside stalls.

In fact, the flashlight may not be necessary, but it is equivalent to a kind of "identity card" in the ghost market, and people who know how to do it will do it.

Otherwise, it is easy to be taken as a bureaucracy.

In addition, although Zhang Yi has the ability to identify and repair, after all, the number of times available per day is limited.Therefore, it is very necessary to come to this kind of ghost market to exercise the most basic eyesight.

No way, relying on the identification ability of the right hand, try one by one.

If you try without a purpose, it is estimated that several opportunities will be used up, and you may not be able to find a genuine or valuable thing.

at the begining of.

Uncle Chen looked at some calligraphy and paintings.

However, after reading it, they just shook their heads.

As for Zhang Yi, at that booth, he saw some stationery items, such as inkstones, insert screens and the like. He didn't say new or old, but felt that the things were relatively inferior.

For things like antiques, regardless of whether they are new or old, the shape and rhyme are very important.If an old thing has poor shape and rhyme and workmanship, even if it is a genuine product from the present generation, it is of little value.

In another stall, there are mostly copper wares.

There are more than a dozen copper censers alone.

Moreover, Zhang Yi saw that one of them was shiny and looked very new.

Regarding this kind of incense burner, he mentioned it when chatting with Uncle Chen.

Among the copper censers, the most famous one is the "Daming Xuande Stove".

Although it is just a small stove, it is much more famous than the bronze statues in the Yongle period.

The reason why it is called Xuande Furnace.

Just because this kind of copper censer was designed and supervised by Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty, in the third year of Xuande, Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that the successful casting of Xuande stove is the first of its kind for later generations of copper incense stoves, and it belongs to the treasures of Ming Dynasty handicrafts.

Therefore, from the Ming Dynasty, through the Qing Dynasty, to the Republic of China period, in order to make huge profits, there have always been antique dealers imitating Xuande stoves.

In particular, during the Kangxi-Yonggan period, it was the most.

And this period is also among the Xuande furnaces, the old imitation technology level is the highest.

With curiosity, Zhang Yi carefully looked at those stoves.There is a rule in the ghost market, if you don't want to buy something, don't ask, but you can look at things as you like.

Most of the copper stoves are very old, and some even have soil on them.

Stoves are generally inherited in an orderly manner, with soil, and the possibility of being old is very high.

After looking at it roughly, Zhang Yi felt that, in terms of the overall shape and rhyme, the shiny copper furnace was more beautiful.

After wandering around for a while, I didn't have a chance to use my identification ability.

Therefore, Zhang Yi decided to give this Xuande stove a try.

as usual.

Zhang Yi's right index finger was gently placed on the ear of the copper furnace.

"Excuse me, is it authenticated?"

"Identify!"

Zhang Yi thought to himself.

"Daming Xuande's Ear Burner."

"Xuande Furnace was supervised by Zhu Zhanji himself. At that time, it was stipulated that the shape of copper smelting must follow the reference of "Xuanhe Bogutu", "Archaeological Map" and other classics, among hundreds of famous kilns in the Song and Yuan Dynasties secretly stored in the inner palace. , select the shape, draw it into a pattern, and explain the allusion and source. After screening and confirmation by the emperor, it will be cast. The casting process is very strict, so the level of craftsmanship is extremely high."

"Therefore, no craftsman can imitate the shape and rhyme except for the court casting at that time. Although there are many imitations in later generations, it is difficult to imitate the essence of Xuande furnace."

"In terms of shape, this stove is thick and heavy, and it has an obvious feeling of pressing. The stove in the Ming Dynasty is more ingenious and slender. Therefore, this stove is not the characteristic of the incense burner in the Ming Dynasty. According to the patina on the stove, the furnace foot From the friction marks left by long-term use and the casting process of the inner hall of the furnace, it is certain that this furnace is a very good imitation in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty."

"Although it is an imitation, it is the top grade among the old imitations."

Hearing these appraisals, Zhang Yi felt that the stove should be taken away.

It's an old imitation, and it's this kind of top grade. It should be pretty good with such a good appearance.Of course, when you can come across a real Daming Xuande Furnace, it will be really good.

"Boss, how much is this stove?"

The boss didn't speak, but stretched out five fingers.

"five hundred?"

Zhang Yi asked, and the boss immediately sat up with a helpless expression.

"It's five thousand."

"Alright then, I want this stove."

After paying with the QR code, Zhang Yi put away the stove.

"Xiao Yi, your stove is a bit new!"

Uncle Chen only opened his mouth at this time, because, in the ghost market, once someone wants to buy something, even his companions cannot stop him from it.

This is the rule. If you have anything to say, you can only express it after the transaction is over.

"Uncle Chen, I feel pretty good, it looks new, but I feel that it may be an old imitation of the Qing Dynasty, and it may be because someone has played it!"

When Uncle Chen thought about it, it was not impossible.

The old incense burner, some people know how to play it, after some professional hand playing, it looks like this shiny.But often this kind of stove, especially on this kind of street stall, looks very beautiful, but no one dares to buy it.

At this point, there are more and more people in the ghost market.

The stalls are also basically full.
