Chapter 158: Climbing the Mountain, Angry Cat
Old Zhou couldn't help but tighten when he saw Yu Yao coming, "What do you mean? I see that it's from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it's quite open!"
"The mirror itself is fine. But I don't feel right when I look at the ornamental line, it's awkward. Yu Yao put down his tools, "Old Zhou, I won't go around the bend with you, this may be a thing to climb the mountain." ”
"What?" Old Monday listened, and also picked up a magnifying glass and a strong flashlight to look at it.
"The gap is not visible, the technology is very high. But it doesn't feel right, and most of the time there is a problem. To be truly verified, it is not 'quenched'. ”
Lao Zhou looked at it for a while, but he couldn't see anything, and said angrily, "If you want to 'quench', I have to be in front of that old boy!"
The so-called "climbing the mountain" is a term in the industry, mainly referring to things that have been repaired. For example, this Eastern Han Dynasty Quartet Divine Beast Mirror may have been split in half, and it was spliced and repaired.
Of course, if it is a cultural relics restoration and then display, it is generally not called climbing the mountain, because climbing the mountain is a bit derogatory, mostly for the sake of people.
Climbing the mountain was first used on furniture, and it began to be called "picking up scattered heads", which is more intuitive, and pulling up the scattered things.
Later, somehow it was called mountain climbing, and at first glance, it was not easy to understand. However, there is also a implicit meaning here, if the original broken things are repaired and sold as a complete product, the price can indeed climb a mountain.
If you are clever at climbing the mountain, the gaps are not easy to see. Yu Yao felt wrong in this Han mirror, but he couldn't find obvious flaws, so he said to Lao Zhou that it was "quenched".
This quenching is not really quenching, you don't need to burn red, just make a pot of boiling water, put the copper mirror in it and soak it for a while, and then make a basin of cold water, clip it out and dip it, and it's OK.
Because no matter how clever the technology of climbing the mountain is, cracking is cracking, and this quenching will inevitably crack again.
"If this friend of yours deliberately deceives you, what's the use of you in front of him? He also said that you broke it and found someone to repair it!" Yu Yao handed Lao Zhou a cigarette, "There is a time lag here, you just finished trading with him today, and you can't rely on it; if you call now, if he doesn't answer and reply in two days, it will be deliberately deceiving you." ”
Lao Zhou really took out his mobile phone and dialed it.
It is temporarily unavailable.
"What kind of friend is you, this friend?" asked Yu Yao.
"I'm not very familiar with it, I first met unintentionally in the interview, in his forties, called Zhang Zhitang, who collects old furniture. Sometimes he can come across antique and old furniture, and he often wanders around the thrift market, making antiques scattered. We hadn't traded before because he had too many things in his hands. This Han mirror, he really didn't say how he received it, but just said vaguely that it was a coincidence. ”
"Now look, the possibility of falling victim to you is already very high!"
"I'm not defenseless, but this Han mirror is very open, and I can see it carefully, I didn't expect it to be a mountain climber!"
After Lao Zhou finished speaking, he dialed it again, but he still couldn't get through for the time being! Lao Zhou angrily slapped his mobile phone on the table.
Yu Yao sighed, "I understand, you came to me in the morning, originally you wanted me to have a look, right?
Lao Zhou responded, "That's the case." But I'm just going alone, and if I don't trade right away, I can put it off. I thought it was a leak. ”
"I don't know how many models this Han mirror is, and the ornamentation is not so clear, so it is more conducive to climbing the mountain. ”
"Let's eat a trench and grow wise! The phone doesn't work, it seems that he really wants to have a good time! Even if he is found again and quenched in person, he will pretend to be innocent, and if he is cracked, he will not be able to retreat. ”
"Chang Yizhi is very good, but why do you have to eat a trench?" Yu Yao smiled slightly.
The "Ghost Eye Piercing Fire" was originally Lao Zhou's and was given to him. Although he didn't keep it for himself, he returned Zhong Yu, which can be regarded as returning the thing to its original owner, but he can't help but remember Lao Zhou's favor.
"Do you want to make up for it?" Lao Zhou's eyes changed.
"Didn't you just say that this deal was negotiated, and this Zhang Zhitang also said a good thing that he wanted to trade with you?"
Lao Zhou was stunned, "Can I still talk to him about business? Besides, he doesn't answer the phone now, deliberately avoiding me!"
"It is estimated that he will only hide for two or three days, and after that, if you don't react, or even be happy, he tastes the sweetness, why can't he continue to blind you?" Yu Yao continued, "Tell me first, what kind of good thing is he talking about?"
"Old furniture, big things. He said that he had negotiated from an old house, and had not yet reached his place. So, I have to find another time to go to his place. ”
"What furniture?"
He said that it was the red sandalwood of the Qing Dynasty, and he was angry with the cat. It is at least 1.8 meters high, at least 1 meter wide, and at least half a meter deep. ”
Angry cat, is a common name, Lao Zhou said this, first, it is smoother than the official name, this kind of furniture, the official name is called straight edge frame, and second, Yu Yao must be able to understand.
This straight-edged frame grid is roughly the appearance of a standing cabinet, generally with horizontal lattices and drawers at the bottom, and two doors on the top, but on this door, with the structure of window lattices, there are vertical lines. It also looks like a cage, so some places are also called chicken cages.
There are gaps in the mullions, so they are breathable. Therefore, this kind of furniture was originally used for food. This cat can see the food from the hollow and smell the taste, but it can't be eaten secretly, so it has the name of this image, called the angry cat.
Later, the purpose of this furniture was gradually transformed into a bookcase, because there is a mullion, and you can see what kind of book it is. In particular, some precious wood, such as red sandalwood pear, cannot be used to eat.
"Qing Dynasty, red sandalwood, the process of this angry cat is more complicated. If it's complete and genuine, it's a good thing. Yu Yao groaned.
"The problem is that Zhang Yutang can't do it! I haven't traded with him before, I think it's quite reliable to chat, and this person is a little wilted, and he looks quite honest, who would think, give me this set of tricks for the first transaction!"
"That's what makes a bad fuss. Yu Yao smiled, "That's it, we must find a way to make up for this matter! Fortunately, I'm not in a hurry, I'll think about it again." As for you, take the initiative to contact him in two days, and say that I bought this Han mirror, and I am a big buyer, and I am not ambiguous. I heard about this old red sandalwood furniture from the Qing Dynasty and wanted to take a look at it together. ”
Lao Zhou touched his nose and smiled, "I'm not wet in vain!" Okay, I'm thinking about it myself." ”
"That's it, let's talk about the rules, our eyesight is not good, and we don't play with the set of finding the back account. But find another way to make up for it, report it back, and then see if he can avoid it. ”
