"Shopkeeper Meng, I don't know what you think of my four-series jar?" Chang Huarong looked a little proud as he spoke.

With the understanding of the antique industry and his reputation in this industry, Meng Zitao now generally does not easily give a clear conclusion in terms of identification.

So, considering that he was not familiar with Chang Huarong, Meng Zitao thought about it for a while, put the thing back on the side of the box, and said, "Professor Chang, I think it's good that you like this four-series jar yourself." ”

The reason why Mencius said so cautiously was because for him, it was not difficult to identify the authenticity of a thing, but whether he should tell the owner of the thing the result.

You know, in today's society, if the thing is a fake, the buyer may return it based on his conclusion, and if the seller knows that he gave the appraisal, then he will offend people. Therefore, in the face of people who are not familiar, of course he has to be careful.

Of course, if he told Chang Huarong that something was wrong, Chang Huarong would use the conclusion he gave to return it, saying "Meng Zitao said that this thing is fake, you hurry up and return it to me", then Chang Huarong is not emotionally intelligent enough.

First of all, Chang Huarong will undoubtedly offend Meng Zitao by doing this, if Meng Zitao knows about this matter, he will definitely not give him another appraisal. At the same time, it also made the seller think that he was a big mouth, and he had already concluded that this thing was a fake, and the whole world knew about it, so he may have returned the thing originally, and now he will not return it.

Moreover, if everyone in the antique shop knows about the trouble, everyone will think that you don't understand the rules and will boycott you because of it. Later, he originally had a good thing and was willing to sell it to his person. I'm definitely going to think about it.

Therefore, if you want to make a name for yourself in this antique industry. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, you should be careful with what you say and do.

Meng Zitao also has a reputation for self-knowledge, and feels that he needs to be strengthened in this regard.

Getting back to the point, when Chang Huarong heard this, his smile immediately froze, and after half a ring, he came back to his senses and thought about it again. Only then did he say: "Shopkeeper Meng, I won't tell you, I received this four-series jar in the countryside, can you please tell me about it?"

What Chang Huarong meant by this was that he also knew Meng Zitao's concerns, and he would definitely not return the goods in his name, and he wanted to ask Meng Zitao to explain what was wrong.

Since Chang Huarong said so, and he was brought by Zhang Jingqiang for the first time, Meng Zitao believed him for the time being. said: "In fact, this Lushan kiln is more realistic in terms of vessel type and technology, and the biggest flaw is the soil on its surface. ”

"Tuqin?" Chang Huarong looked at the four-series jar in front of him with some confusion. said: "Is there a problem with this Tuqin? But I think it's quite normal!"

Meng Zitao said: "Professor Chang, take the liberty of asking, your four-series cans should be purchased in the north. Or maybe it was unearthed in the north?"

"Yes, I bought it in the Northwest. Chang Huarong did not hide it.

Meng Zitao continued: "Since the place of excavation is the north. It must be loess qin, but you look at this tuqin. Does it look a little reddish?"

Chang Huarong observed carefully and found that there was indeed a phenomenon mentioned by Meng Zitao, Tuqin was a little red, and he immediately understood that the color of the loess Qin buried in the ground would not have such a change.

However, he was still a little puzzled and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Meng Zitao said: "Actually, it is very simple, this thing is made by using the re-burning method. ”

"What does this mean?" Chang Huarong asked.

Meng Zitao said: "The re-firing method is a newly invented method in recent years, which is to use the stone nodules in the loess to grind into fine powder, and the mud covers the appearance of the imitation, and then enters the low-temperature kiln to re-burn, and the effect obtained is very similar to the unearthed materials, even the soil is immersed, and there is no fire. ”

"As for the method of identification, it is actually very simple, just like this thing of yours, after the loess is burned, the color will be slightly red, if it is unearthed in the south, the counterfeiter will use the red clay, if it is burned in the fire, the color will also change. ”

"So, as long as you see a change in the color of Tuqin, this thing, you need to be careful. Moreover, there is still a little difference between the naturally formed Tuqin and the burned Tuqin, at least, the naturally formed Tuqin will not look the same in every place like you. ”

After listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, Chang Huarong was silent for a moment, smiled bitterly, and then stood up and arched his hand: "Shopkeeper Meng, I'm really sorry to make you laugh." ”

Meng Zitao hurriedly said that it didn't matter, and said: "It's a very common thing for us to make eyes in this business, just like me, I didn't still do the same before." ”

"Hey, in this line of shopping, you really have to keep your eyes open, otherwise if you're not careful, you'll take medicine. ”

Chang Huarong sighed, and then said, "Shopkeeper Meng, do you have anything else to do in a while?"

Meng Zitao asked, "Is there something wrong with you?"

Chang Huarong said: "It's nothing, it's just that I need money urgently, if you're okay, I'm going to go home and get something again." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Okay, then I'll wait for you here, in fact, if you are not in a hurry, you can come back tomorrow." ”

"No, my house is not far from here, and it's quite fast to go back and forth. Chang Huarong smiled, then packed up his things, and said goodbye and went back.

After Chang Huarong left, Meng Hongchang smiled bitterly: "I know your hard work now, just like the four-series jar just now, in my eyes, it is a genuine product that has been passed down for thousands of years and has been buried in the soil, the next time I encounter it, it is estimated that it is still very likely to be eye-catching, you say that like me, can I enter the auction company?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Let's not say that you didn't enter the appraisal department, the reason why you feel this way is because you haven't learned, of course you will treat fakes as genuine." If you have learned it and know the principle, you can immediately see that it is a fake. ”

Seeing that Meng Hongchang was a little puzzled, he continued: "Let me tell you briefly, first of all, the glaze on porcelain is a high-temperature material with strong corrosion resistance. However, the ancient firing of porcelain did not have such good conditions as in modern times, and the kiln was relatively simple. ”

"Therefore, when firing a piece of porcelain, the heating temperature of the body is not very uniform, some parts may be higher, and some parts may be lower. As a result, the glaze fired at the bottom of the temperature should have poor corrosion resistance, and the high temperature should have strong corrosion resistance. You know what I mean, right?"

When Meng Hongchang heard this, how could he not understand the meaning of what Meng Zitao said, and said: "I understand, according to your words, in the process of burial, even if there is that soil...... Tuqin, there are also many places, and some places are few, when identifying, you can judge its authenticity based on this, isn't that so?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Yes, that's it, in fact, antique appraisal, if you understand the truth, it is easy to draw inferences." I think with your brain, as long as you're interested, you'll definitely be able to learn, but now, you shouldn't be worried, right?"

Meng Hongchang said: "Let me think about it again." ”

When Meng Zitao heard this, he spread his hands and said, "You are not like the Hongchang brother in my memory. ”

Meng Hongchang scolded with a smile: "You kid, I say I'm a coward, but to tell you the truth, even if you provoke me, I have to think about it, just like I said before, I'm not young anymore, but it's not like when I was young, even if I choose the wrong career, I can change again." ”

Hearing this, Meng Zitao felt that he was not too eager for quick success, and he couldn't sacrifice him personally in order to let Meng Hongchang help him.

He apologized: "Brother Hongchang, I'm sorry, I was too anxious and didn't take your feelings into account." ”

Meng Hongchang laughed and said: "What is this, don't say anything foreign to our brothers, I believe you won't harm me!"

Meng Zitao said: "Do you need to say it?"

Meng Hongchang smiled, but he immediately remembered something, and said a little angrily: "You are embarrassed to say, let me ask you, the second father (here the second father means) has that problem, why don't you tell me the truth?"

Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Didn't I hear that you wanted to buy a house in the capital, how expensive the housing prices in the capital are, and you are so old and not married, how can we tell your family about this matter, and it was not at the point of exhaustion at that time." ”

"Fart!" Meng Hongchang was so angry that his eyes were a little red: "Let's not talk about buying a house, isn't the second father's life more important than my marriage!"

"Okay, okay, can't I agree?" Meng Zitao said, "However, don't you feel a little frustrated when you say this?"

"Phew, I'm so angry with you......"

Meng Hongchang's fire came and went quickly, and after Meng Zitao said a few good words, after a while, he was talking and laughing again.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Chang Huarong brought something back, probably worried that there was a problem with the things he chose, he brought two pieces this time, both of which are porcelain, one is a blue and white dragon pattern jar in the Yongzheng period, and the other is a pastel flower bowl in the Qianlong period, both pieces of porcelain are genuine, and they are also masterpieces.

Originally, Meng Zitao had the intention to buy both things, but Chang Huarong was reluctant, and after thinking about it for a long time, he transferred the pastel flower bowl to Meng Zitao at a price of 450,000 yuan.

After completing the transaction, Meng Zitao went home with Meng Hongchang. Meng Shuliang and his wife were all pleasantly surprised when they saw that Meng Hongchang had actually returned, and they laughed and laughed for a while...... (To be continued.) )
