Chapter 212: Strange Things

Shen Qiu walked out of the Xianyu Pavilion and rushed back to Xuanbao Zhai.

I thought that Han Kuisheng's people came to look for trouble, but when I saw that the door of Xuanbaozhai was closed, I only saw Zhu Xiaogang standing there looking anxiously.

Seeing Shen Qiu coming back, Zhu Xiaogang anxiously greeted him: "Brother Shen, you're finally back! Something happened, something happened! You hurry in and take a look! Sister Xiaowen and several bosses are waiting for you in the house!"

Shen Qiu was suddenly a little stunned, unless someone came to the door to ask for trouble, Xie Jingwen and the clerk would panic: "What happened?

"Brother Shen, there is a problem with our goods, and the buyers are coming to the door!" Zhu Xiaogang came up and muttered quietly.

"Well, there's a problem with the goods that were sold?"

This situation was quite surprising, Shen Qiu looked up and looked inside the store, there were two bosses sitting side by side in the room, the two bosses were pale, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.

These two bosses Shen Qiu know, one is the local collector Bao boss in Jiangcheng, and the other is a retired local teacher, Mr. Tan.

Both of them are old customers of Xuan Bao Zhai, usually take care of business in Xuan Bao Zhai, a few days ago the two of them bought two goods from Xuan Bao Zhai, a white glazed porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, and a pair of calligraphy and paintings in the early Qing Dynasty.

Now, the two items of Boss Bao and Mr. Tan are placed on the counter at the same time, obviously there is a problem with the two antiques.

"Master Shen, you're back! Come and see what's going on?"

Teacher Tan was in a hurry, so he dragged Shen Qiu up to check: "My calligraphy and painting of Liu Hu was just bought from your Xuan Bao Zhai the day before yesterday, and there was a problem within two days of going back......! What the hell is going on?"

Boss Bao also got up and pointed to the white-glazed amphora: "It's a coincidence, Master Shen, my porcelain and Teacher Tan bought it on the same day, and there was a problem! Although this white porcelain amphora is nothing to you, it is our hard-earned money! These problems have arisen in a blink of an eye! 800,000 yuan of porcelain has given birth to such a thing! Now 80,000 yuan will not be invited!"

Shen Qiu nodded and comforted: "Don't worry, come one by one, what's wrong!"

Xie Jingwen came up and poured tea for the two bosses: "Two of you, sit down and drink tea first, the things are bought in Xuanbao Zhai, and we will be responsible for any problems to the end! I, Xie Jingwen, promise here that I will not let the two of you suffer any losses!"

As soon as Xie Jingwen said this, the excitement of the two bosses calmed down a little, Shen Qiu first looked at the boss's white-glazed amphora, this white-glazed bottle was bought back from Xuan Baozhai by Boss Tang for 80w two days ago, Shen Qiu was not on the scene at that time, and all the procedures were handled by Xie Jingwen and the clerk.

This white glaze bottle was received by Shen Qiu in the store, and the color was relatively perfect at that time, and the glaze of the white glaze was bright and shiny, which belonged to a rare piece of fine porcelain in the early Qing Dynasty.

I couldn't see anything from the front of the white glazed porcelain bottle, but Shen Qiu could see the situation of this porcelain from the door, just at its base and the bottom of the bottle, there was an extremely discordant picture, the original milky white porcelain actually appeared on a scar the size of an egg shell, which was particularly conspicuous at first glance, a green scar?

It's like a stunning beauty with a palm-sized birthmark on her face, which completely destroys the beauty, and the green scar makes the original beautiful white porcelain vase extremely awkward.

"Boss Bao, tell Shen Qiu what is going on with this white-glazed amphora?"

Xie Jingwen is also puzzled, the formation of porcelain is actually the reaction of the chemical elements magnesium and silicon, iron, it stands to reason that there are no traces of scars in the process of preservation, at least she has been in contact with porcelain for six years is the first time to see the strange phenomenon of green spots on the porcelain body.

"I don't know what's going on! After I bought this porcelain, I kept it in a glass cabinet, and all the porcelain in the store was kept in this way, and when I got up this morning and looked at it, I gave birth to green markings!

"I've seen it!" Shen Qiu said: "I have seen green spots on porcelain, there is only one possibility, that is, in the process of firing at the kiln mouth, a lot of mineral impurities are integrated into it, so that if the porcelain is stored in a humid environment for many years, dark green spots will grow, but it is by no means this kind of green spots, that kind of green spots can be small as long as they are soaked in hydrogen peroxide, and the green spots we see are very strange, Boss Bao is right!

Shen Qiu looked further, put the position of the green spot on the bottle to his nose and sniffed it, and suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had found the key point of the problem: "This thing is wrong! This green spot is wrong! It smells of corrosive chemicals!"

Shen Qiu sniffed it several times, and finally confirmed: "That's right! This green spot has nothing to do with the porcelain itself, but a phenomenon caused by it at a later stage, you smell it carefully, the surface of the green spot has a very obvious smell of chlorine dioxide!"

Xie Jingwen followed up and sniffed it, and sure enough, he smelled a more pungent smell of chemicals, although he didn't know the name of this chemical, but this smell smelled sour.

"Hey, hey, Master Shen! Boss Xie! What do you mean by this? Do you suspect that I have numb my hands and feet on the amphora? This is not kind! The thing was bought back from Xuan Bao Zhai, and it has only been two days since it was put at home? Now you are not going to admit it? Could it be that I have asked someone to touch you porcelain?"

There is a rule in the antique industry, the goods out of the counter, are not responsible, which means that the baby is bought and left, out of the store to pick up the leak or eat deflated have to carry their own, the boss of the porcelain are bought back for two days and then come back to find the future, obviously not in line with the rules of the antique world.

"Boss Bao, don't get excited! The thing was bought from our store! We are naturally responsible for you, and we will not let you bear this loss, we are just analyzing the cause of this porcelain shock, so let's do it! Xuan Bao Zhai will bear the loss of porcelain bottles! You don't have to bear the responsibility of a penny!"

Xie Jingwen gestured to ask Qiqi to write a refund check for Boss Bao first, which can be regarded as a reassuring pill for Boss Bao.

Boss Bao took a sip of tea and gave Xie Jingwen a thumbs up: "Boss Xie is not a loss, but Boss Xie! The reputation of the century-old store is absolutely not there, and I admire this point!"

Shen Qiu waved his hand and said, "Boss Bao, don't say anything politely, let me ask you a few things, and you can answer truthfully." ”

"Master Shen, you say it, as long as I know someone, I will say it!"

"First question, this white-glazed porcelain vase has always been in your shop, right? Have you ever changed places, or have you come into contact with any special chemicals? You can also smell the pungent smell of it, if it wasn't for the contact with something in the middle, this kind of green scar would never have appeared!"

"No, no!" Boss Bao shook his head in denial and said: "The price of this bottle is very expensive for me, I have put it in the most important position in the store from beginning to end, a vacuum glass storage cabinet! As for the chemicals you said, it is impossible to exist! I dare to swear by this one!"

"Well, then let me ask you a second question, has anyone else touched this white porcelain amphora except for yourself?

"Yes!

Boss Bao did not deny it, and said honestly: "I fell in love with this white glazed bottle, I just wanted to buy it back and make a lot of money, after all, the quality of this white porcelain is complete, and the reflectivity of the white glaze is also excellent, I just want to make money again!
