When Meng Zitao entered his antique shop, it was already the morning of the second day.

At this time, nearly twenty hours have passed since yesterday's scene, but the results of tracking down the short killer are not good.

According to Zhao Linwei, Tong Guò checked the surrounding surveillance, as well as visited, as they had previously guessed, there was an ambush of a killer on the path that Meng Zitao usually walked, and there were three people even the short man.

The other two received the news of the failure of the mission from the short man, and immediately took the injured short man into a white van and fled.

By the time the police noticed the van, it had been abandoned in the northern suburbs and had left no clues.

In addition, the van not only used fake license plates, but also a dirty car that had just been stolen. It can be seen that the other party's preparation is not sufficient.

Such adequate preparation indicates two possibilities, the first possibility is that the other party spent a lot of time preparing in order to deal with Meng Zitao, and the other possibility is that the main envoy is very capable of obtaining Mencius Tao's detailed information in a short time.

To say that both possibilities exist, but judging from various signs, Mencius felt that the second possibility was relatively large.

In fact, Meng Zitao did not have other thoughts in his heart, it must be reasonable for the Bu family to be able to sit on an equal footing with the Shu family, could they not think of the disadvantages of doing so?

From this point of analysis, it is unlikely that it is a step family.

Of course, Shu Ze also introduced that Bu Chaofeng is a typical gentleman, and he is also arrogant, if this matter is instructed by him from his family, the possibility is not small.

Since there was no evidence, Meng Zitao didn't think much about this question, but because of this matter, he would definitely not have a good face for Xi Zhengzhen, and even the thought that Xi Zhengzhen's antique shop must be destroyed rose in his heart.

But this kind of thing can only be thought about. The antique industry is different from other industries, and it is possible to eliminate the other party by fighting a price war, and Meng Zitao can only maliciously expect that Xi Zhengzhen will be able to fight a few more times.

This period has not been without good news. Meng Zhenghong finally woke up and was basically out of danger, which made Meng Zitao and them all breathe a sigh of relief and feel a little better.

Today is Sunday, and there are quite a few tourists in the antique street. However, Meng Zitao's shop is rarely open, and the location is not very good, so there are not many customers who come in, and they are all a few regular customers.

Meng Zitao didn't care about this, as the old saying goes, if you don't open for three years, you can eat for three years, as long as a few of his treasures can be sold, the money you make may not be earned by ordinary people in a lifetime.

In addition, he now has an auction company. If you want to sell something, you can directly take it to the auction and participate in the auction, and you will make more money than you usually buy and sell.

In this regard, this antique shop, even if Meng Zitao doesn't open it, it is nothing, and it saves him trouble. However, he didn't plan to do this, first, he could use it as a platform for communication, and he could usually "talk about learning" and exchange ideas with his friends.

Other than that. If someone wants to sell antiques, it will be much easier to open an antique shop.

For example, at this time, Meng Zitao was receiving a customer introduced by Lao Niu.

Lao Niu introduced to the customer: "Lao Zhang." This is the shopkeeper Meng, don't look at him young, he is a famous teacher, does Zheng Anzhi and Zheng Lao know it? It is the master of the shopkeeper Meng. ”

Lao Zhang's real name is Zhang Huaqi, he nodded again and again to show that he knew, and spared no effort to praise Meng Zitao a few words.

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries. Meng Zitao asked, "Mr. Zhang, I don't know what treasure you brought this time?"

"It's not a treasure, it's just two pieces of porcelain. ”

Zhang Huaqi smiled, then opened the two boxes in front of him, and carefully took out a piece of porcelain from each of them.

"Blue and White Three Sheep Venerable?" a hint of surprise flashed in Meng Zitao's eyes.

Sanyang Zun is a very rare shape of the Qing Dynasty imperial porcelain, which is deeply loved by the two emperors of Yongqian, and is the innovative product of the imperial kiln factory in the late Yongzheng period, and the early Qianlong Dynasty followed. It takes the Zhou and Han Sanyang copper kettles as a model, pursues the beauty of dignified and elegant, and on this basis, it gives a new decorative style and declares the royal aesthetic taste.

Sanyangzun category is more than a variety of color glaze, such as tea powder, imitation Ru, imitation brother, kiln glaze, etc., each type of survival is above a few pieces, only one blue and white, Yongzheng period made only two examples, one example of the fragrance Jiangsu Fubi 2008 spring auction "Qing Yongzheng blue and white entwined flowers three sacrifice pot". Another case is hidden in the Forbidden City in Beijing, which is the old collection of the Qing Palace.

The ornaments of the two three sheep in front of him are basically similar to those in the Forbidden City, but two of the six patterns of blue and white painting on the surface are different. The other is basically a copy of the collection in the Forbidden City.

Another difference is that the style of these two pieces is "made in the Qianlong year of the Qing Dynasty" seal book.

Lao Niu saw these two pieces of Sanyangzun, and his expression was very surprised: "Lao Zhang, are these two things genuine?"

Zhang Huaqi laughed: "Lao Niu, you are really joking, if they are all genuine, I will definitely directly bid for a big auction company like Sotheby's." ”

Lao Niu smiled: "Scared me, it turned out to be a high imitation!"

It's no wonder that Lao Niu's reaction will be so big, if these two are genuine, they are worth at least tens of millions, and he was carrying them just now, just thinking about it made him frightened.

Zhang Huaqi said with a smile: "Although it is a high imitation, but they are also high-quality works, take it out, the average expert, will definitely think it is genuine, let's not say anything else, just say to the thief light, not a master, can it be so realistic?"

Hearing Zhang Huaqi say this, Lao Niu hurriedly looked at the bottle, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became: "How did this thief go? It's exactly the same as the real thing!"

The so-called "thief light" is actually the fire on the surface of the new porcelain.

The method of removing the thief light has also been introduced earlier, generally using alkali, acid and other chemicals in proportion to soak in water, or using tea water and other methods to accelerate the aging of the glaze.

This method of identifying the old is relatively simple for connoisseurs, it feels like a handle when touched by hand, and if it is soaked in chemicals, it will have a sour taste.

However, there are no traces of the two Sanyang Zun in front of him, and if he doesn't say it, he can't see it at all.

Zhang Huaqi smiled, sold a pass, and looked at Meng Zitao, wanting to test him.

Meng Zitao smiled slightly, if it was before, he really didn't know how to do it, and now, the information given to him by Zheng Anzhi has hinted at this.

"If I'm not mistaken, this must have been done in the process of firing, right?"

Zhang Huaqi gave Meng Zitao a thumbs up: "I am worthy of being a famous teacher and a high apprentice, if it wasn't for my friend suing me, I would definitely not have thought of it." ”

"I said, you two, can you stop playing any dumb riddles?" said the old cow.

Zhang Huaqi said with a smile: "In fact, it is not difficult to do this, if you use a firewood kiln, soak the firewood in salt water before installing the kiln, and the sodium is vaporized and smoked on the glaze at a high temperature, and it is fired back to produce a very soft 'meat texture', and there is no natural 'thief light'." ”

"If you use an electric kiln or a gas kiln, you need to process it later, or use electricity in the early stage and charcoal in the later stage, or add some pine branches soaked in salt water to the furnace at the right time, the result is the same, and the finished product will be as oily and bright as the real official kiln of the Ming and Qing dynasties. ”

Lao Niu sighed when he heard this: "I didn't expect it to be so easy, if we all do this, then there is still a way for us people to live?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "You don't need to say it so exaggerated, this thing is simple, but it is not easy to do, and you can't do it without a certain amount of experience." Besides, when we appraise, we can't just look at whether there is a thief in the thing, right?"

Lao Niu pointed to the three sheep on the table: "Then what about these two pieces, with my eyesight, if I don't say it, I really can't see that they are high imitations." ”

Zhang Huaqi shook his head: "This is different, the author is a master of high imitation, his works are not visible to ordinary experts, and the price I bought at the beginning was not cheap." But don't worry, it's said that the man has stopped doing it anymore. ”

Lao Niu didn't believe this: "Why didn't he do such a profitable thing?"

Zhang Huaqi shook his head: "I don't know about this, maybe people have their own plans, don't mention it, shopkeeper Meng, what do you think of these two three sheep?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "I'll watch it first." ”

In the antique market, high imitation porcelain still has some value, especially these two porcelain, not only the workmanship is very good, the painting skills are no different from the real thing, and it is only in the firing process to go to the thief light, and do not use other means of olding, so there is also a certain collection value.

Meng Zitao carefully observed the two pieces of Sanyangzun, the one that was different from the Forbidden City collection, and a little flaw could be seen, and the other one shocked Meng Zitao.

The surface of this vessel is decorated with six blue and white patterns, including wave pattern, banana pattern, entwined branch flower, baroque curly pattern, lotus petal pattern and curly grass pattern.

This painting is meticulous and exquisite, the use of dot painting techniques is skillful, the blue and white are bright and beautiful, and the elegant atmosphere jumps in front of you, and the warm and white glaze is set off, and the beauty is extraordinary.

Moreover, the writing of the lower left part of the word "Qian" in the seal book is also in line with the recognized characteristics of the seal book in the early years of Qianlong.

"Could it be because I don't have a lot of experience?"

Seeing the end, Meng Zitao was a little suspicious of his own eyesight, and hurriedly used the ability, which shocked him, but also a little speechless, this is obviously a real product, how can it be found flawed? )
