Chapter 248: Excuses
Zhou Weixu glanced at Su Jingchen meaningfully, and after hesitating for a moment, he didn't continue to ask, but asked Su Jingchen to continue to identify the last remaining antique, that is, which small snuff bottle.
To put it bluntly, a snuff box is a tool used by people to smoke in ancient times, and this small spout is stuffed with all kinds of spices.
Moreover, in ancient times, snuff bottles could only be used by some wealthy people, which means that every snuff box is a relatively good precious work of art, but behind the graduation curtain in Su Jingchen's hand, Su Jingchen knew that the snuff bottle itself was very low-end.
Because this thing is not an antique, but a modern craft product, it looks like all kinds of shapes are very retro, but Su Jingchen, through exploration, found that these things are actually a high-imitation work, not handed down from ancient times at all, but made by the current hostages.
It's just that this thing is very exquisitely made, and not only that, the materials used are also very high-end, so it is very normal for Zhou Weixu not to see it.
After all, now that technology is so advanced, there are not a few antiques of all kinds of Taoism on the market, and it is not a simple matter to really identify them, and even some experts in TV shows are likely to make mistakes.
"I'm afraid this thing is going to disappoint you, this thing is actually a modern craft, and you must be old enough to see that this thing does not belong to any art form of the ancient period.
On the contrary, it is closer to modern craftsmanship and art forms, except that the material used for this thing seems to have been taken down from an antique and remelted and shaped. ”
And that's what really makes you struggle and can't make an accurate judgment. ”
In addition to the fact that this thing is very similar, what is more important is the ceramic material of this snuff bottle, well, it does have a certain age, according to Su Jingchen's estimate, he should have taken these ceramic materials from another broken antique, and then recondensed them into a snuff bottle.
Of course, needless to say, the purpose of this is definitely to confuse such a so-called expert, after all, it doesn't seem to be an antique from the appearance of art, but if you look at it from the material, he is an antique, so that the truth and falsehood can at least confuse others, but it is a pity that experts like Zhou Weixu will be confused, but Su Jingchen will never be confused.
Therefore, Su Jingchen also saw the true origin of this thing at a glance, and knew that Zhou Weixu bought this thing this time, if it was purely the appearance of this thing, he would suffer a loss.
"Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity, I thought this thing was a treasure, I never thought it would be so commonplace, but there can be two treasures in three things I don't know, the old man is already very satisfied, as for this gadget, just find time for him to throw it away. ”
Zhou Weixu shook his head and smiled bitterly, sure enough, even a master like him has a day when he is beaten, of course, he doesn't care, as he himself said, two of the three unknown treasures can be real treasures, which is already a lot of harvest for him.
"Hey, hey, hey, senior, you're in too much of a hurry, I mean this thing doesn't have much value, it's a fake, but I didn't say that these things in it are also waste. ”
A meaningful smile appeared on Su Jingchen's face. The reason why his expression was so strange before was because this snuff bottle, although he was not a good treasure himself, but what it contained in it was a high-quality treasure in these spices.
There are some things in this world that will become more and more valuable over time, for example, the longer the wine and the longer it is, the more valuable it is, and the same is true for the spice in the snuff bottle.
After the precipitation of time, he is not only not damaged, but more fragrant, if there is someone who plays this snuff bottle, then the spice in it can almost be sold for a sky-high price.
Even the spices in this are more than the real antiques. After all, this thing has also gone through the study of time.
"What do you mean, boy? Could it be that the spices in this snuffbox are ......?"
Zhou Weixu's eyes lit up, he originally thought that he had lost money on this thing, but he never thought that the willows and flowers would be bright and bright, listening to Su Jingchen's statement, it seems that the spices in it are also treasures.
"That's right, senior, this time you can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, the spices in this are definitely the top spices in the world today, if you find a good seller to sell this thing, the absolute value is not less than the other two treasures around you." ”
"Hahaha, good, it's really good, I never thought that the spices in it would have such value, in this case, the old man will definitely not be able to sell him, just keep it at home, smell the smell when he is free, isn't he good?"
Zhou Weixu laughed, this Su Jingchen is really his lucky star, he never thought that the three treasures in his own collection were all real antiques, and the value was not low.
If it weren't for Su Jingchen, maybe one day he would have to clean up all three things in a fit of anger, and then he would definitely lose a lot.
In fact, the real treasure must also be appreciated, Maxima often has and Bole is not often, even if there is a batch of real Maxima in front of your eyes, you can't recognize it, don't understand his value, isn't that a tyrannical thing?
Therefore, what Su Jingchen did this time seemed simple, just to help Zhou Weixu identify this antique, but in fact, the meaning of the representation is not only so small, his Su Jingchen made these antiques not in the dust, released his true face in front of the poet, and really bloomed with brilliance, which is a good thing.
"Good boy, I never thought that you really have some real skills, in this case, old man, what you just said should be a good deal, this kid has now helped you identify it, three antiques and all of them have been identified, you have already verified it yourself, this is indeed true, then now you should hand over your ancestral treasures." ”
Old man Zhang spoke, now that Su Jingchen should have done everything, it was time for Zhou Weixu to come up with a return.
"Don't worry, Su Jingchen Xiaoyou helped me like this, I naturally won't go back on my word, words don't count, those ancestral medicinal herbs that you came to me with me, some of them have now been placed in my home and become finished products, as for some I will plant, now I am also continuing to plant, they, you can take it if you want." ”
Zhou Weixu smiled slightly, he naturally couldn't talk without words. Su Jingchen helped him so much, and then it was naturally time for him to repay Su Jingchen, and he didn't delay You directly took Su Jingchen and Old Man Zhang to the backyard of his house, and went to his small ordinary building, although it looked ordinary, but there was actually a large space in the back, which was specially used to make medicinal materials.
It can be seen that although Zhou Weixu likes antiques, he still hasn't forgotten his old business, and he is also very concerned about the cultivation of those medicinal materials behind him.
In this way, Su Jingchen followed behind Zhou Weixu with an expectant expression. I don't know what kind of good things Zhou Weixu can bring to himself, to be honest, these very precious medicinal materials are generally very difficult to cultivate, after all, they have very high requirements for the means that have been cultivated in the growth environment, and ordinary people have no way to cultivate them.
If it weren't for Zhou Weixu's ancestor being an ancestral imperial doctor, it is estimated that he would not have been able to learn this cultivation method.
With anticipation, Su Jingchen and Old Man Zhang were taken by Zhou Weixu into the backyard of his so-called cultivation of medicinal materials, and when the tomb door in the backyard was opened, Su Jingchen was immediately stunned.
"This, this, this, a lot of medicinal herbs......"
Su Jingchen swallowed his saliva fiercely, he saw too many precious medicinal materials in Zhou Weixu's small courtyard, not to mention the kind of ginseng at the foot of Su Jingchen not far away, looking at his size Su Jingchen estimated that it was at least about a thousand years, the history of their current nation is only a few thousand years, but the ginseng under his feet has actually grown for nearly a thousand years, how terrible it is.
The thousand-year-old ginseng and the Tianshan Snow Lotus mentioned by Su Jingchen before are almost all legendary medicinal materials. It may be very small, after all, ginseng is usually in demand for human beings, so it will be picked often, but all ginseng that grows for more than 100 years will be picked immediately, either sold for money or used to treat diseases and save people, and will not let him continue to grow steadily and steadily.
This is the same as the fact that it is rare to find a tree that has grown for more than a thousand years in the world, because the tree grows to a certain scale, and it will be very large after a few hundred years, and it will also have some impact on human society, so for various reasons, this is a big tree that is often cut down after reaching a certain year, of course, in some primeval forests, this kind of big tree may be seen everywhere.
But after all, a big tree is a big tree, and the big tree is a relatively large number of foundations, so it is normal to see a big tree above a thousand years old, but the ginseng of this thousand years is too terrifying.
As if seeing Su Jingchen's gaze, Zhou Weixu immediately showed a triumphant expression on his face.
"Hey, hey, what's the matter? Isn't the kid frightened by my ginseng, tell you, I don't know how many generations of grandparents have been passing it down, so that our family has been keeping it alive, and even my father almost raised this ginseng to death back then. ”
"Because of this incident, my father was beaten by my grandfather, but fortunately, after my careful cultivation, this ginseng plant has been revitalized again over the years, after all, the thousand-year-old ginseng is not so easy to be fed to death. ”
Su Jingchen sighed a little, sure enough, this big family is really not comparable to ordinary ordinary people, not to mention that although Su Jingchen has superb medical skills now, but when it comes to all kinds of resources in medicine, there is absolutely no way to compare with these big families.
Not to mention anything else, taking these precious medicinal materials as an example, it is almost impossible for Su Jingchen to find them now, but a big family like Zhou Weixu, which has been handed down since ancient times, has a lot of such medicinal materials.
Needless to say, all kinds of ancient medical books in Zhou Weixu's family must also exist, if their descendants want to continue learning, it will not be as troublesome as Su Jingchen now needs to teach an apprentice.
"That Zhou Weixu senior, I don't know if I can take this thousand-year-old ginseng away?"
Su Jingchen cautiously asked, this thousand-year-old ginseng is no longer just a medicinal material, and even its value is immeasurable.
At first, Su Jingchen thought that the medicinal materials in this senior's house, that is, some more cherished medicinal materials, would not be too valuable, but after he really saw the medicinal materials in this small courtyard, Su Jingchen knew that he still underestimated Zhou Weixu.
Su Jingchen, a rare medicinal material with a relatively low age, would definitely not hesitate to ask for it, but like this thousand-year-old ginseng, Su Jingchen would not dare to speak wildly, if this thing was passed down all the time, maybe this ginseng alone would be able to help their family get through a big difficulty in the future.
