Chapter 179: Painting Skills (I)

Seeing Chai Chengxuan's appearance, Shu Ze couldn't help but be a little angry: "Can you be a little angry, it's all this time, it's still like this, what are you thinking in your head!"

Chai Chengxuan smiled bitterly: "You scold, I feel better if you scold me." ”

"I can't stand you, I really want to beat you!" Shu Ze heard this, and he was angry.

Meng Zitao smiled and interjected, "Now let's go to Du Ruoyu's antique shop." ”

"Okay, let's let someone see the 'Yellow River'. ”

A group of people took the car to the Nangong antique market in Jinyang, and when they arrived there, they saw the flow of people shoulder-to-shoulder, and suddenly came over, today is the weekend market, and the square is full of stalls.

Shu Ze and Meng Zitao glanced at each other: "Let's go shopping first?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "I'm casual." ”

Chai Chengxuan also said: "My affairs are not urgent, anyway, the store can't move out in a while." ”

"Let's go. Shu Ze waved his hand and walked into the market first.

Speaking of which, the market of Nangong has been some years, as far as the 80s of the last century, the Jinyang antique market began to take shape, but it was not here before, and later under the guidance of the government, Nangong became the habitat of antique vendors. It consists of a north-south street about 100 meters long and an east-west street of more than 200 meters.

With the development of the antique market, the government took advantage of the situation and opened up a stall market on the vacant land west of the north and south streets of the market and south of Yingze Street, which became the Nangong antique market covering an area of 6,000 square meters that Meng Zitao saw now.

Meng Zitao and the others arrived late, but the market was still crowded, and stall owners with accents from all over the world were busy introducing items to customers or haggling for prices.

It is said that connoisseurs watch the doorway, Taobao should be early, and those who shuttle between the stalls in the dawn of the day are real antique lovers, so most of the connoisseurs have already gone away.

Meng Zitao has also heard of the Nangong antique market for a long time, and when he arrived here, he found that there were all kinds of items, all kinds of goods, and many things that had disappeared in life, and you might still be able to find them here.

For example, you can see many things that were used by my parents. The old tape recorders of the eighties, as well as mechanical watches, are considered "big pieces" of the last century.

In addition, there is a booth with a set of "five golden flowers" in a conspicuous position, which hooks everyone's memories.

Some people may not know what "five golden flowers" means, but in fact, it is a 5-cent coin in 1979, a 2-cent coin and a 5-cent coin in 1980, and a 1-cent coin and a 5-cent coin in 1981. At that time, they did not enter the circulation market, and now the price has soared to more than 10,000 yuan.

The things in the antique market are like this, as soon as there is a profit, counterfeit and shoddy will appear, so now to buy these coins, you still have to have more eyes, only the original box packaging is the "real body", loose coins are likely to be fake.

Shu Ze looked at the things on the stall and said, "I've been here twice before, and now it's lively and there's more things, but the place with a strong literary atmosphere suddenly becomes like a market, and it feels different from before, and it doesn't feel so good." ”

Chai Chengxuan agreed: "Now I think that antiques here are becoming more and more reduced to a supporting role, and if it continues like this, I think the future of this once-prosperous market is worrying." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "This matter is of concern to the managers and traders here, let's concentrate on picking up the leaks." ”

When Shu Ze heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "You have a goal?"

Meng Zitao smiled faintly and said, "Don't talk, just follow me." ”

Meng Zitao took Shu Ze to a stall specializing in coins next to him, he squatted down to look at the items on the stall, and picked up a coin to play with.

Perhaps seeing that Meng Zitao was interested in coins, the stall owner stretched his neck and whispered to Meng Zitao: "Little brother, are you interested in silver coins?"

Meng Zitao smiled faintly and said, "Do you have good goods?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "I have an Austrian version of the ship." ”

"Chuanyang" refers to the common name of the silver coins with the design of ocean sailing ships minted by the Nationalist Government in the 30s of the last century. Among the thousands of old silver coins issued in modern China, its influence is second only to the "Yuan Datou" silver coin.

In addition to the three types issued and circulated, there are also several types of trial coins that have been handed down to the world. They are American, British, Italian, Dongying, and Austrian versions of the trial mint pattern, the obverse of the design is a profile portrait of Sun Yat-sen, the upper edge is written "Eighteen Years of the Republic of China", and the reverse is a three-masted sailing ship.

The patterns of these five countries are basically the same, and all of them are designed and engraved according to the standard drawings drawn up by the government, and there are very few of them. The Austrian version of the boat in general condition, with a market value of about 20,000 yuan, is very popular with players.

Meng Zitao was slightly stunned and asked, "Boss, do you really have an Austrian version of the ship?"

The stall owner said, "I can still lie to you about this? If you want it, I'll show it to you." ”

"As long as it's okay, I'll definitely want it. Meng Zitao said.

"Wait a minute. The stall owner opened the wooden box sitting under his buttocks and took out a small box from it, during which he secretly watched the movements of Meng Zitao's hands, fearing that he would lose the treasure.

"Look at it. The stall owner put the box in front of Meng Zitao.

Meng Zitao did not believe that there was a real Austrian version of the ship, so he opened the box, took out the silver coins inside, and looked at it a few times, confirming his judgment.

To distinguish the authenticity of silver yuan, we first start by identifying the authenticity of silver. True silver has a soft luster and is white. The higher the fineness of the silver, the whiter its luster is, and the real silver round is snow-white after cleaning. The hardness of the silver circle is low, and the two silver circles are overlapped and rubbed against each other, and there is a sense of oiliness, and the sound of metal collision cannot be heard.

Fake silver round or steel embryo, or copper and lead embryo, or aluminum and tin embryo, or metal powder cement synthesis embryo, its color is dark, dull. After the fake silver round is burned with fire, it will be "ugly", there are broken, deformed, scattered, the real silver round is not deformed and does not change the sound after the fire, and the snow white has bright light after cleaning. Fake silver rounds are yellowed, bluished, blackened or grayed after cleaning.

Although the boat in Meng Zitao's hand is more realistic, it can only deceive ordinary people, and even this verification method can't get by.

In addition, there is a layer of silver oxide on the surface of the silver round, which is often referred to as pulp. The toning is mainly light black, light gray, light orange and millet husk color. The toning on this coin is relatively poor, and it should be that the paste that has been polished and grilled with wax is heavy black, which can be recognized at a glance.
