Chapter 712: Clues to High Imitation Green Materials
Meng Zitao said: "It's imitation, although it's not bad." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Xun Suo was immediately angry: "Dead servant street, you dare to lie to Lao Tzu!"
After saying that, he walked out of the room angrily, probably going to find someone to settle the account.
At this time, Shu Ze said: "Don't worry about this guy, Zitao, you go on, how to identify the authenticity of this carpet." ā
Meng Zitao said intermittently: "The antique carpet is realistic, and it can be seen that it is imitation. Because the upper part of the antique carpet or the upper part of the wool is not easy to disperse, pinch the planting hair on the blanket surface to see the weft, the natural old color is not the same as the dyed cotton line antique color, and there is no soil color dyed. ā
Speaking of this, he took out the carpet and pinched it for everyone to see, and sure enough, it was the same as what he said.
In addition, from the back of the carpet, the back of the antique carpet has been ironed with an iron, not naturally grinded; the back of the antique carpet is not as hard and soft as the real back, and the back of the antique carpet feels soft when you touch it. Therefore, as long as you carefully observe and compare, you can know the mystery of distinguishing real and antique carpets. ā
When Meng Zitao said this, he glanced at it and happened to see a jade pot spring bottle not far ahead.
This bottle looks very exquisite, but Meng Zitao always felt a little strange in his heart, so he said to everyone, walked to the jade pot spring bottle, picked it up and looked at it.
This bottle shape line is beautiful and smooth, the abdomen is full, with Xiushi, green bamboo, banana leaves, daylilies, orchids constitute a picture of auspicious "Wurui map", meaning auspicious more than auspicious, exquisite painting skills, rigorous composition, porcelain painting techniques are skillful, the ornamentation is symmetrical with each other, the blue and white tones are both blue and bright, the blue and white decoration is distinct, the layout is appropriate between shades and shades, complex but not chaotic, and highlights the auspicious picture.
From these aspects, it should be a rare and excellent product in the Jiaqing period.
However, on closer inspection, Meng Zitao saw that something was wrong, and his mood began to become heavy.
Shu Ze and the others walked over with curiosity and asked, "What's wrong?"
Meng Zitao put the porcelain back on the table: "You look carefully at its blue and white hair color. ā
"Is it a high-imitation green material again?" Shu Ze picked up the porcelain with some surprise, and after a while, he said: "It seems that something is wrong, it is more realistic than the previous one, is this high-imitation green material improved again?"
Meng Zitao said: "Yes, I found out about this a few days ago, and told the master about it, he sent someone to investigate, and found that the other party was more careful, the shipments were subcontracted layer by layer, very cautious, so far, there are no clues at all." ā
"That's the problem. Shu Ze said.
"Therefore, it is still necessary to knock out the source, otherwise, it will be to cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze will blow and grow again. But that's not easy. Meng Zitao shook his head and sighed.
Shu Ze said: "I'll ask the fat man where this porcelain came from, maybe you can get a clue too." ā
said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, only to see Xun Suo walk in with an angry face, and muttered: "Death on the street, I'm really impatient!"
"Stop muttering, where did this jade pot spring vase come from?" Shu Ze said.
Xun Suo walked over and saw the jade pot spring bottle, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why, I won't say that this bottle is also fake, no, I obviously asked an old expert in our Yangcheng to identify it." ā
Meng Zitao said: "This is a special kind of high imitation, if you are not familiar with the identification method, even if it is a well-known domestic expert, there is a possibility of eye-catching." ā
"......" Xun Suo was silent for a moment, his face turned red from anger, and he couldn't help but scold his mother: "Paralyzed, I lied once and lied to me a second time, is it really because I am muddy?"
Shu Ze saw Meng Zitao's eyes, and hurriedly stopped Xun Suo, who was bursting out of anger: "What else can you do besides beating him at most? Break his legs?"
Xun Suo was also very angry: "Not only will I break his leg, but I will also beat him halfway." ā
Shu Ze said: "You can really do it, even if you can do it, how can you explain it to your family at that time?"
Xun Suo looked back at Shu Ze and said, "I said Aze, just say what you mean, don't hide it." ā
Meng Zitao opened his mouth and said: "Brother Hao, that's the case, we are now investigating the source of making this kind of high-imitation porcelain, so I hope you don't startle the snake, can you let us investigate it first." ā
Xun Suo was surprised: "You don't think they are related, do you?"
Meng Zitao said: "This is not necessarily, maybe it is related, maybe it doesn't matter, this will only be known after the investigation, so I have to trouble you to help." ā
Xun Suo didn't think much about it, and said: "Okay, then I'll let him go first, it's best if he has something to do with this matter, and it's good to catch him and lock him up for a while." By the way, you don't have to do anything, you can help me see other things, whether there are any fakes, I am ready to settle accounts after the autumn. ā
Meng Zitao smiled and nodded.
Next, Meng Zitao checked all the remaining things in the house, except for a handicraft with a slight problem, the others are genuine, as for whether it is expensive or cheap, it is not his business.
The next day, everyone set off for Pingzhou, which was actually not far apart, but only forty or fifty minutes by car.
When we arrived in Pingzhou, we first went to the hotel where we stayed to put away our luggage, and then went downstairs to the lobby of the hotel together.
As soon as everyone walked to the hall, a young man who looked a little obscene walked over and greeted everyone with a smile on his face: "Shao, I have already contacted you." ā
Seeing that everyone was a little inexplicable, Xun Suo smiled and said, "We're not embarrassed to come in vain, we have to start a role." ā
Shu Ze tapped his finger at Xun Suo: "I said why are you in a hurry to come to Pingzhou early in the morning, the relationship is already prepared in advance, I think you will come here to gamble on stones even if you don't come with us, right?"
Xun Suo smiled and said nothing.
Shu Ze shook his head: "Yes, I hope you don't lose the last pants." ā
Xun Suo pretended to be displeased and said: "Aze, what you said is too unlucky, that is, the relationship between the two of us, if it is someone else, I have to beat him." ā
"I don't bother to care about you. Shu Ze pursed his lips.
Xun Suo said to the young man: "Guangzai, you may not know my rules, this is the first time I have engaged in gambling stones, you must get me a good fortune, if things are not done beautifully, then I ...... Hey, hey!"
Xun Suo sneered a few times, and then said: "But if it is done well, it will definitely not let you suffer." ā
Guangzai nodded and said: "Xun Shao, don't worry, the place I introduced must be reliable, many wool materials are from special channels in Myanmar, and it is still an old pit, if it weren't for something at home, he wouldn't sell it." ā
Xun Suo said: "Don't tell me this now, okay, take us over and see it, we will judge for ourselves." ā
"Shall we go now?" asked Kozai cautiously.
Shu Ze said, "Wait a while, the teacher I invited hasn't come over yet." ā
So, everyone sat on the sofa and waited for a while, and then saw an old man in Chinese clothes walk into the hall.
"Teacher Duan. Shu Ze got up and greeted the old man, and walked over with everyone.
When Guangzai saw this old man, he was slightly stunned, and hurriedly greeted him, looking nervous and excited.
Next, Shu Ze introduced to everyone, the old man's name is Duan Youwei, he is indeed very "promising" in the jade industry, he is the top gambling stone expert in China, and has created a record of gambling five pieces of head-covering material and four pieces of gold.
You must know that even the recognized "Jade Emperor" only dares to say that the success rate of his gambling stones is only fifty percent.
Of course, overall, Duan Youwei is definitely not as good as the "Jade Emperor", but it is only about the same, so he is very respected by everyone in the industry.
It's no wonder that Guang Zai was so excited when he saw that Shu Ze actually invited Duan Youwei over.
Since Duan Youwei has already come, everyone got into two cars, plus a car where the bodyguard was sitting, and set off for the place introduced by Guangzai.
Duan Youwei and Shu Ze took a car, and when they learned where they went, they said, "It turned out to be Lao Sunna, it is estimated that you will definitely have to crash today." ā
"Why did you crash?" asked Shuze.
Duan Youwei said: "Lao Sun just passed away last month, and now his daughter-in-law is in charge of the family, his daughter-in-law is a very shrewd person, and if she wants to sell the wool in her hand, she will definitely not notify only one Guangzai." Now it's up to her to inform whom. ā
Shu Ze asked again, "How is the goods there?"
Duan Youwei said: "The goods left by Lao Sun are all good things, and I don't know how many people in Pingzhou are making up their minds, but if you go to buy them in person, Lao Sun's daughter-in-law will not sell them, and only those who have been notified in advance can go." ā
Shu Ze asked, "With your face, she won't sell it to you?"
Duan Youwei smiled: "My face is nothing, and she doesn't want me to go, after I go, her attraction to others will definitely drop greatly." ā
Everyone can understand what Duan Youwei means, just by his level, the selection must be good wool, and the rest will of course not be so attractive.
Shu Ze smiled and said, "Then she won't let us go home, right?"
"Hehe, it's one thing to be happy or not, and it's another thing to be in a hurry or not. Duan Youwei smiled, meaning that it didn't matter.
In the small talk, the two cars stopped in front of a warehouse, Guangzi got out of the car and knocked on the door, and after a while, a middle-aged woman came to open the door, she looked at everyone first, and when she saw Duan Youwei, her face changed significantly.
She glared at Guangzai, obviously complaining about him, and actually brought Duan Youwei with her.
Guang Zai gave her an innocent and sorry look, he didn't know that Duan Youwei would come in advance.
With Duan Youwei's current status, although the old granddaughter-in-law was not very happy that he would come over now, she didn't dare to drive Duan Youwei away, and welcomed everyone in with a smiling face.
Everyone walked into the door of the warehouse, and then under the leadership of the old granddaughter-in-law, they came to a room, only to see that the windows of the room were covered, and there were only two lights in the whole room.
As for why the owner did this, the reason is very simple, that is, when the buyer observes the wool, he sees the performance of the wool wrongly, so as to buy the wool.
At this time, there were already other people in the room who were picking out the wool, and when they saw everyone coming in, they all raised their heads to take a look, and immediately looked down at their own things again.
The old granddaughter-in-law said to everyone: "You can choose for yourself, and you can call me when you have chosen." As for the price, we'll talk about it later, of course, if you buy more, I'll give you a discount. ā
With that, she walked over to the chair in the doorway and sat down.
"Fatty, what are you going to do?" asked Shu Ze as he turned to Suo.
Xun Suo smiled and said, "I've read a few books on gambling stones before, so I'll take a look at it first." ā
Shu Ze didn't bother to say to him: "Whatever you want." ā
He laughed a few more times, then walked to the other side.
Shu Ze sighed: "Hey, I really can't do anything about him, I hope that after he loses a few bets, his brain will turn around." ā
Duan Youwei is not too experienced, and after thinking about it for a while, he guessed something and said: "There is a saying in our industry, which is called 'a knife is poor, a knife is rich, and a knife wears sackcloth'. Throughout the ages, how many people have become rich because of gambling, and how many people have fallen from huge wealth to extreme poverty. The success rate of gambling stones in the industry may be less than 1 in 10,000. ā
"This is because the proportion of good materials with good water and high color in the jadeite wool is not even one thousandth, and the rate of medium and high-end goods is only 10%, about 30% of the passable, and 30% can barely be used, and the rest can only be thrown away. Therefore, it is absolutely undesirable to have the idea of getting rich by gambling stones. ā
Shu Ze shrugged his shoulders: "We all know about this, but this dead fat man likes these crooked ways, and it is estimated that he will only repent when he suffers a big loss." ā
Duan Youwei has also seen a lot of such things, and he doesn't think it's unusual, and he doesn't say much.
"Shu Shao, what do you say next?" Duan Youwei asked.
Shu Ze replied: "I also want to choose and see for myself first, but I hope you will help us check it in the end." ā
Duan Youwei said: "No problem, but let's agree in advance, I can only help you pick out five pieces here, and I am a little embarrassed to lose face, after all, I am also friends with Lao Sun." ā
Shu Ze smiled: "No problem, in fact, we came here today to play, mainly tomorrow's business, and I will trouble you then." ā
Duan Youwei smiled and waved his hand: "That's a matter of duty, there's nothing troublesome." ā
Just as Shu Ze and Duan Youwei were talking, Sima Yuelan and He Wanyi had already discussed a piece of hooded material at their feet, Sima Yuelan said that he was optimistic about this piece of wool, and He Wanyi said that he was not very optimistic about it, and even if he didn't lose money, he wouldn't make much money if he bought it.
For this reason, the two also pulled Meng Zitao into the water and asked him what his opinion was.
Meng Zitao now has a considerable understanding of the knowledge of gambling stones, which is also an unforgettable advantage, and now what he lacks is some experience.
He studied the piece of wool: "This piece of wool should be able to see a little green." But the probability of high shipments is not high, but the probability of total collapse is also very low. So, I don't think it's a problem to buy it or not. ā
"Teacher Duan, what do you think?" asked Sima Yuelan.
Duan Youwei also took the stone and looked at it, and agreed with Meng Zitao's judgment: "This stone is an old pit species, and the jade can still be solved, but there will be no surprises, there may not be many materials to solve, and the performance may not be good. Of course, it doesn't matter if you want to buy it, you should try the gambling stone. ā
Sima Yuelan may feel a little unwilling, and everyone said that they couldn't lose any money, so they took the wool and went to ask the old granddaughter-in-law for the price.
The old granddaughter-in-law gave a friendly price, 6,600 yuan, Duan Youwei signaled that it was not expensive, so Sima Yuelan swiped the bank card and paid the money.
"Do you want to solve it now?" asked the old granddaughter-in-law.
"Can you solve it here?" asked Sima Yuelan.
"Absolutely. Perhaps because she saw that Sima Yuelan was a novice, the old granddaughter-in-law explained again: "All the transactions in our industry are without contracts, all by credit, and the seller will not regret it, but will only congratulate the buyer happily." So you can rest assured, you won't make trouble on the calcite. ā
Sima Yuelan nodded, she still didn't worry about this kind of thing, and she wasn't afraid if she really wanted to make trouble: "If you untie it, how long will it take?"
"15 minutes at most. The old granddaughter-in-law looked at the wool and gave an estimate.
"Can you take me to Calvite, then?"
The old granddaughter-in-law was not very relieved here, and said, "I will immediately call someone to come and take you to the calcification." ā
Sima Yuelan said yes.
The old granddaughter-in-law called, and after a while, a young man came over, he took Sima Yuelan and He Wanyi, who was pulled by Sima Yuelan, and a bodyguard to the place where the stone was solved.
Meng Zitao and Shu Ze chose their favorite wool.
Not to mention, the quality of the wool here is really good, a considerable part of it is old pit wool, and the performance is not bad, in the current market, such wool is not uncommon.
Meng Zitao combined the knowledge of gambling stones he learned and the sixth sense, and selected the wool in the room, the speed was a little slow at first, but when he became familiar with it, it was much faster, giving people a feeling that he was watching the flowers.
Not far from Meng Zitao, there is also a young man who is about the same age as Meng Zitao is choosing wool, of course, in the eyes of outsiders, the age difference between the two is about four or five years old, which does not mean that the young man is old, but that Meng Zitao is too young.
When he saw Meng Zitao selecting wool at an incredible speed, a trace of disgust flashed on his face, and he felt that Meng Zitao was too disrespectful to the gambling stone, and of course his impression of Meng Zitao would not be good.
Meng Zitao's sense was very keen, and he immediately felt the young man's dissatisfaction with him, looked up, and saw the disdain in the young man's eyes, and wondered in his heart, did he recruit him or provoke him?
Meng Zitao shook his head, left him alone, and continued to select wool, and after a while, a special wool appeared in front of his eyes, judging from the performance of the wool, this should be a piece of wool from the mouth of the Houjiang field.
Houjiang jade gambling stone is also known as Kandi jade, and the jade gambling stone at the entrance of this field is divided into new material and old material.
The old material at the mouth of the Houjiang Jade Gambling Stone Farm comes from the bottom of the alluvium in the field area, usually the size is relatively small, and the skin shell is gray-green, although the material is smaller, but the water head and the bottom are better.
It is the only place where there is no brick material, most of it is pigment, it is planted well, the bottom is good, the water is good, there are many small pieces, generally a few taels to a few kilograms, not out of the big material, not out of the glass ground, most of them are like the size of an egg, the general color is relatively light, but there are also old colors.
Houjiang stone generally can't produce bracelets, but it can be out of the ring face. Houjiang stone also has a characteristic, that is, the color is not afraid, as long as the plant is old enough, the color will become darker after polishing, the industry calls this phenomenon the color, the color will be more and more green with the extension of time.
The thickness of the shell of the new Houjiang jade stone is slightly thicker than that of the old Houjiang jade stone, the size is larger, the structural tightness and hardness are also slightly smaller, the color of the new Houjiang jade stone rough is better, but the color after polishing is not as good as before polishing, and it is more difficult to deal with high-grade finished products.
Meng Zitao found this piece of Houjiang wool, is an old Houjiang, the size is relatively rare in the Houjiang stone, estimated to be about six kilograms, in addition to this special feature, this wool has traces of opening the window on all sides, but the results are not good, none of the windows have green appeared.
This kind of material, the probability of gambling is undoubtedly very low, and it will not be opened like this, it is obvious that the other party is not optimistic about this piece of wool, so the average gambling stone player will definitely not choose such wool.
However, it was this piece of wool that gave Meng Zitao a very unique feeling, as if a voice was telling him that if he missed it, the loss would be great.
Since his intuition asked him to choose this piece of wool, of course Meng Zitao would not let it go, but out of curiosity, he used his ability to sense the inside of the wool.
At this time, nearly twenty minutes had passed since Sima Yuelan and the others went to the calcin, and Sima Yuelan walked into the room with the unsolved wool with a dejected face, and there was no need to think about it.
Duan Youwei begged for the unraveled wool, and after taking a closer look, he said: "It's about the same as I estimated in advance, it has color, but there are more components of iron and manganese, and less chromium, so the color is blue." There are two cracks in the middle, which were not visible on the epidermis just now. This will definitely affect the reclaiming. ā
"In general, this piece of jadeite has more flaws, so it is more challenging for the designer, and it may have to be hollowed out. If it is made into a carved and thinly carved ornament, it can show the beauty of the color of the stone, but the salary is high. However, judging from the head, color and color, I didn't lose much. ā
Sima Yuelan said to He Wanyi with a wry smile: "I didn't buy it if I knew it, and if I lost a bet with you, I would be in a bad mood." ā
He Wanyi covered her mouth and smiled: "So, it's better not to bet with me next time, when I bet with others, my luck has always been good." ā
Sima Yuelan said unconvinced: "Hmph, I really don't believe it, let's choose two pieces of wool later, I'll see who wins!"
