"Okay, Uncle De, then I'll come and prepare for Tuesday. ”

Leaving Hu Yunde's office, Wu Duo returned to the appraiser's duty room, Qiu Buluo had already left, and he was left on duty alone.

About an hour after getting off work, Hu Yunde received a call from Zhang Chengjin and left ahead of schedule if he had something.

But at this time, there are no more customers in the store, and it is not busy at all.

Wu Duo didn't leave until he got off work, and as soon as he walked to the door of the hall, he saw a person coming in from outside the door.

entered the door and took a look at Wu Duo.

This man looks like he is fifty or sixty years old, and he is not young. With a shaved head, his hair should be thick, which can be seen from the green stubble on his scalp.

The facial features are very tough, and the figure is also well maintained, and it feels quite strong.

He wore a light gray baggy casual suit, jeans, and suede shoes. He was carrying an ordinary black leather bag, bulging.

"Excuse me, do you accept things?" the bald man asked Wu Duo directly. The sound is nice and magnetic.

"Yes, you have something to sell?" Wu Duo nodded.

At this time, Huang Wei, the store team leader on duty, also came forward and introduced, "Hello sir, this is Mr. Wu, the appraiser of our store. ”

"Hello Mr. Wu, then take a look?" the bald man smiled slightly.

Wu Duo responded with a "yes", and said to Huang Wei: "Team Leader Huang, it's all off work, I'll come by myself, you're busy with yours." ”

At this time, customers came, and everyone had to get off work late, Wu Duo meant that Huang Wei didn't have to greet him together, and he would go to finish the work first, so that he could finish it early.

Huang smiled and nodded, "Hard." ”

Wu Duo led the bald man to the reception area.

After taking a seat, the bald man directly opened the leather bag and took out a square brocade box from it.

This brocade box is a little worn, the corners are worn, and many places on the brocade surface are still scratched.

The brocade box is not expensive, and the selling of things pays attention to appearance, and it is generally replaced with a new brocade box. This old brocade box doesn't feel very comfortable, and this is not a box of precious wood, the older the better.

However, when the bald man took out something from the brocade box and put it on the table, Wu Duo's eyes couldn't help but light up.

This is a copper incense burner.

One of the classic shapes in the Xuande furnace, the earworm furnace.

The crab shell is blue, and the pulp is ripe.

The size of this ear stove is about 18 centimeters in diameter and about 10 centimeters in height.

Slightly extravagant, flat edge, neck and belly, round bottom circle foot, slightly outward.

The ears are very simple ear ears, which go up from the neck and close down to the abdomen. The name "worm ear" is mainly because the ear is shaped like a curved worm.

The bald man noticed the change in Wu Duo's eyes, and raised his hand to signal, "Please get started." ”

Wu Duo snorted, and first bent his fingers and flicked it lightly.

Wu Duo's eyesight on the copper incense burner is much inferior to jade and porcelain. Still, some of the basics are clear. Play it, mainly to hear the sound, and help identify the copper.

The sound is clear, not bad.

Get started, the weight is very sufficient, and the hand is down.

This copper incense burner should be mainly copper, and other precious metals must have been added, otherwise it would not be crab shell cyan. It's just that with Wu Duo's level, it is not possible to accurately identify the specific ones. It's just that the color of crab shell blue contains at least silver.

Before looking at the bottom paragraph, Wu Duo thought to himself, it won't be the "Ming Xuande Year System", right?

That's going for the standard Xuande furnace.

The legendary Xuande furnace, if it is encountered on the market, Wu Duo's first impression, it will definitely not be genuine.

Not to mention anything else, at the moment, there are two more authoritative genuine products in the Forbidden City and four in the Forbidden City on Taiwan Island.

Why do you say "comparative" authority? Because even these six pieces are still divided, and some experts believe that they are not genuine products from the three years of Xuande.

It's going to talk about Xuande again, once Xuande, why are there so many good things?

In the third year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Zhanji instructed to import a batch of red copper. Red copper and red copper basically have the same meaning, which roughly refers to pure copper.

This batch of pure copper was imported from Siam (Thailand), but Zhu Zhanji was not pure enough, so he ordered to go down and continue smelting.

First, he refined it six times, and consumed nearly half of the copper, but Zhu Zhanji was still not satisfied, and further demanded: not only to remove impurities, but also to refine.

Therefore, it was refined six times, and more than ten kinds of precious metals such as gold and silver were added at the same time, and finally the raw materials for the manufacture of Xuande furnace were prepared.

This batch of raw materials is called air-ground copper. This batch of wind-milled copper made a total of about 3,000 pieces of copper incense burners.

The 3,000 pieces of copper incense burners made in Xuande in three years are the real Xuande furnaces.

Six hundred years have passed, and the hand-me-down Xuande furnace is rare and rare. However, from the Ming Dynasty to the present, all kinds of imitations have blossomed everywhere, some are high and some are low, some are fine and coarse, so many that you can easily find the "Xuande furnace" when you visit an antique market.

As a result, Wu Duo looked at the soles of his feet, which was not the "Ming Xuande Year System".

Rather: Wu Bangzuo, the official of the Ministry of Industry of Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, supervised for five years.

Regular script, neat and beautiful, handsome and elegant.

Who is Wu Bangzuo? Wu Bangzuo was the supervisor of Xuande's three-year production of Xuande furnaces.

In addition to the Xuande Emperor's lofty position, there are two extremely key figures in the manufacture of Xuande furnace.

One is Wu Bangzuo, the squire of the Ministry of Works, and the other is Lu Zhen, the imperial craftsman.

Nowadays, the real Xuande furnace cannot be seen, but the imitation of "made by Wu Bangzuo" can still be seen.

"Wu Bangzuo made" Xuande furnace is also the highest grade imitation in history.

The leader in high imitation has never been surpassed.

This is after the completion of the Xuande furnace in that year, Wu Bangzuo never forgot about it, and later with the permission of the emperor, collected materials, convened craftsmen, and successively imitated a lot of Xuande furnaces;

Although it can't compare to the real Xuande furnace, it is also not ordinary.

As a result, in later generations, there were also a large number of imitations of "Wu Bangzuo made".

In fact, even the real "Wu Bangzuo made" is still very rare today. Moreover, "Wu Bangzuo made" can also be regarded as the "Xuande furnace" during the Xuande period, but it is not comparable to the 3,000 pieces of "true Xuan".

Nowadays, a genuine product of "Wu Bangzuo, an official of the Ministry of Supervision of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty", can sometimes be called a high price of 10 million.

Holding this worm ear stove, before "listening", Wu Duo still had a big head, because the "Wu Bangzuo made" of this high-imitation Xuande furnace may also be a high-imitation.

But Wu Duo has no accurate eye for this.

I still have to listen to it······

As soon as Wu Duo finished listening, the bald man spoke, "Mr. Xiao Wu, you look very carefully. Coincidentally, Wu Bangzuo is still your own family. ”

"yes, that's a coincidence. However, in my life, it is impossible to mix with the deputy ministerial level. "Wu Bangzuo was the squire of the Ministry of Works, Shangshu was the minister, and the squire was the deputy minister.

The bald man smiled. Wu Duo's words were not to be obedient, but to tell him that he knew Wu Bangzuo.

"How about it, can you take it?" the bald man asked after laughing.

"I forgot to ask you what you call it?"

"My surname is right, the right of power. ”

"Oh, Mr. Quan, I don't know what price you want?"

"What price can you see?"

"It's easy to talk about other things, the price of this thing, the scorer. Do you want to cut love, or you should make an offer first. ”

The bald man thought for a moment and held out a finger.

Wu Duo smiled and said nothing, just waiting for him to speak.

He said, "How?"

"Mr. Quan, this is not a stall, so let's not play dumb riddles, okay?" Wu Duo responded.

"This is not a dumb riddle, the goods are sold and the family is known, if you don't understand, you can't negotiate the price. ”

Wu Duo put the worm ear stove on the table, "Okay, you mean, a million?"

When the bald man heard this, he frowned slightly, "Mr. Xiao Wu, you should know the market of Xuande Furnace?"

"I do know some. ”

"Then you mean, this is not real, it is not something made by Wu Bangzuo during the Xuande period?"

"Mr. Quan, what you said is a bit blunt. However, at this point, I can also conclude that it is indeed something made by Wu Bangzuo in the fifth year of Xuande. ”

The bald man's expression became solemn, "Since I can make a conclusion, why do you think that I will only need one million?"

"One million, I also overreported. And to be exact, it's not me who reports, it's me who speculates on the meaning of one of your fingers. ”

"And how much money can you pay?"

"I have to ask the leader for this. Wu Duo paused, "Because, I don't know what the leader thinks about the remnant." ”

"What did you say?

"I shouldn't have said that. But, I feel, you must know!" Wu Duo's face began to turn cold.

This ear stove has one ear, which is a supplement!

If the original ear is broken and repaired, the value will not be so much discounted, but this ear stove is completely missing an ear, and the modern process of ear repair is old.

When it was made up, Wu Duo couldn't hear it, but Wu Duo could hear it not in his original ears.

However, realistically speaking, a series of means of refining copper ears, mending them, and making them old are really very clever, not only can the copper-colored leather shell not be seen with the naked eye, but Wu Duo also can't see any traces of the interface.

If the bald man knew about "one ear" in advance, then he was here to speculate!

"What do I know, why do I know for sure?" the bald man asked slowly, not in a hurry, but with a slight smile.

"Don't be like this, Mr. Quan, with the name of Daya Zhai, the appraiser will not be indiscriminate. You look like an expert, and you can feel that you are in the know. ”

"Interesting. The bald man leaned back and leaned on the back of the sofa, "Then let me ask you again, you said the remnant, where is the remnant?"

Wu Duo nodded one of the ears, "It's made up, and it's not long." ”

"You can't say that you will make up for the back, you have to say a basis, right?"

Wu Duo definitely can't say it, but this is not to help people identify.

"It's enough to just say that it's back-up. Wu Duo smiled and said, "Mr. Quan, I see that you are also a knowledgeable person." The so-called basis, that is, the secret of identification, can this be said casually?"

"So sure?" the bald man asked.

Wu Duo waved his hand, "Okay, Mr. Quan, since the words have been explained, then this thing can only be collected as a remnant with one ear missing, if one finger means a million or even lower, then there is something to talk about." But if it's 10 million, then there's no need to talk about it, and there's no need to waste each other's time. ”

The bald man touched his bald head, and then put the worm ear stove into the brocade box, "Okay, let's not talk about the stove, this section is over." ”

"Mr. Quan, do you have anything else to do?"

"Yes. The bald man put the brocade box into his purse again, "Are you free tonight, I want to treat you to a meal." ”

"Mr. Quan, we don't know each other, what's so embarrassing? Besides, there is no merit. ”

The bald man suddenly lowered his voice, "You have such eyesight, and your surname is Wu······ Isn't it worth asking?"

Wu Duo's sitting posture suddenly stopped, "Mr. Quan, what do you mean?"

"This is not the place to talk. The bald man immediately got up, "You should also get off work, right?" Let's go together for fear of causing misunderstanding, my car is parked in the No. 4 parking lot of Chixia Mountain. ”

Wu Duo pondered for a moment, "Okay." Mr. Quan, it seems that you are here to find me today, not to deliver the goods. ”

"Well, it's not what you think, because I didn't think that much before I came. The bald man smiled, "Go first." ”

After the bald man left, Wu Duo explained the situation to Huang Wei.

It does not involve bald men, just talk about things, and point out that this "Xuande furnace" is a remnant of repairing one ear, so the price is too high to collect.

"This old man doesn't look like a good person, don't look good, but he has a big shaved head and tattoos on his wrists. Huang Wei had a bad impression of him.

Huang Wei has always been meticulous and good at dealing with people. This bald man who claims to have the surname Quan does have a tattoo on the inside of his wrist, and Wu Duo also noticed that it is a common gluttonous ornament on bronzes.

Wu Duo left Daya Zhai, crossed the street, and walked to the No. 4 parking lot.

The bald man's car is a dilapidated red horse.

After Wu Duo got into the car, the bald man started the car and said, "Officially met, my name is Quan Haoran." ”

"Mr. Kwon's name is magnificent. "Wu Duo is not good not to report at this time, "Wu Duo, Koutian Wu, the one who seized." ”

"Well, your name is pretty special, too. ”

"Mr. Quan, if you have anything to say, why don't you start in the car first. ”

"Hey, in the car, it doesn't feel good. Let's talk while eating, let's go to dinner, not me to eat you. ”

When Wu Duo heard him say this, he didn't say much.

The reason why Wu Duo was able to respond to Quan Haoran's dinner was because his later words had a deep meaning.

Eyesight ······ Surname Wu ······

Wu Duo couldn't help but think of Wu Di and Wu Dazhi. However, at the moment, it is not known whether this Quan Haoran is friend or foe, so we must be careful.

It was the evening rush hour after work, and the road was a little congested. Fortunately, the distance was not far, and half an hour later, the red horse drove into an open community, found a parking space and parked the car.

"I live in this community, and the hotel is in Hou'anli in front. ”

Wu Duo followed Quan Haoran to the door of a restaurant on Houanli Street. The street is not wide, but the front of this hotel is not small, and there are two floors.

There is a big plaque hanging above the gate: Zhao Ji Private Cuisine.
