Chapter 67: "Treasure Appreciation"

PS: Ask for recommendation votes and Sanjiang tickets, thank you!

In the end, he has been a friend for many years, and Meng Zitao persuaded again: "Seriously, I advise you not to do this, as the old saying goes, paper can't hold the fire, and when the incident happens, it is likely to cause ** annoyance." ”

Li Xianle smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Meng, I know that you are for my good, but I really don't have any risk in this matter." ”

"What do you mean?" Meng Zitao felt that this was a little strange.

"Did you see the billboard for the 'treasure appreciation' event at the door?" asked Li Xianle.

"See, are you just going to go there? Will they give you a certificate?"

Meng Zitao nodded, the 'treasure appreciation' activity is to invite a few well-known but outdated experts to help antique lovers and collectors identify the collections in their hands, but they are all free, Meng Zitao feels that this is a good thing for antique lovers or collectors.

Li Xianle said with a smile: "What you said, in fact, there is nothing on the billboard, it is true that it does not cost money to go to the appraisal of things, but if the thing is 'right', they will give an appraisal certificate signed by an expert, but the certificate is charged, but only a few hundred yuan, ordinary people say will it cost this money?"

Hearing Li Xianle's tone increase when he said "right", Meng Zitao immediately understood that it was nothing more than saying that the fake was true, which made him a little speechless.

"Aren't they afraid that they will notice a problem and cause them trouble?"

Li Xianle said with a smile: "What's this, it's nothing more than saying that they are gone, they are already outdated experts, and they don't care about their reputation." You see, the certificate was given to me by an expert, and if you are looking for trouble, you are also looking for this expert, so what trouble can I have?"

When Meng Zitao heard this, he really didn't know what to say: "You know this thing so clearly, it seems that you must have done this kind of thing before, right?"

Li Xianle said: "What's the matter, I also listened to my cousin's father-in-law, he opened an antique shop on the second floor, I am going to go to him first, let him see my things, if it is okay, then thank God, I don't want to go there to toss." How about you, do you want to come with me?"

Anyway, the first floor was almost over, and Meng Zitao agreed.

The second floor is not like the first floor, the shops here are all private room layout, and the style of non-decoration is also ancient and modern.

followed Li Xianle to a small store, and saw a chubby old man inside, who was introducing his things to two customers, and when he saw Li Xianle and Meng Zitao coming in, he smiled and nodded, motioned for them to find a place to sit by themselves, and then introduced the two of them.

The two of them asked questions, looking left and right, but they didn't mean to buy, but the old man was not annoyed, and looked at them with a smile on his face. After a few moments, the two men left empty-handed.

At this time, the old man came over, and Li Xianle immediately got up and introduced the two parties.

The old man's surname is Song, his name is Xiuping, and when he heard that Meng Zitao was also from the industry, he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”

Meng Zitao also stretched out his hand and shook it with him, and said a few polite words in his mouth.

Song Xiuping invited everyone to take a seat, and Li Xianle said: "Uncle Song, those two obviously not sincere buyers just now, why are you talking nonsense with them?"

Speaking of which, the owner of the general antique shop, for the kind of customer just now, will indeed be like Li Xianle said, if the other party is well-dressed, he may dry you cold, but if it is the kind of person who doesn't know each other well, it is possible to spray you with a spittle.

Song Xiuping said with a smile: "Everyone who comes is a guest, and I'm idle and fine, it's nothing to explain to them, besides, they don't buy it this time, maybe they will buy it next time?" ”

"Okay. Li Xianle hurriedly took out the things and gave them to Song Xiuping for identification.

As soon as the thing entered his eyes, Song Xiuping's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly and carefully took it in his hand to observe, but after a while, the joy in his eyes faded a lot, and finally put the thing back with a pity on his face.

Li Xianle hurriedly asked, "Uncle Song, is there something wrong with this thing?"

Song Xiuping asked rhetorically: "You should also have points in your heart, right?"

Li Xianle said: "I just think that this color is a little wrong, for example, the blue on it looks a little green, if it is the blue of the Kangxi period, it should be dark and dark." ”

"You're right, the colorful colors are really not right. ”

Song Xiuping nodded: "Except for the fact that the color is a little wrong, this utensil is very rigorous and workmanlike with a pen." Carefully observe the combination of hydrangea petals, etc., and there are no inadvertible places that do not match or match. ”

"And if it is a genuine product of the Kangxi period, the pen lines are clumsy and delicate, and the places mentioned above will occasionally have natural randomness that does not match. There will also be discrepancies between the contour line of the petals and the straight line of the petals. ”

In addition, Kangxi's colorful drawings borrowed from the composition and modeling of woodcut prints in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties to create a chalk book, with an ink line on the porcelain body, and then painted according to the ink line of the manuscript. And this artifact, if I am not mistaken, should first reprint the ink line of the original Kangxi painting onto the porcelain fetus, and then deliberately copy and paint according to the same. ”

Therefore, judging comprehensively, this should be an imitation of the Republic of China period. However, although it is an imitation of the Republic of China, the drawing skills have reached a very high level, which is a good thing, and now the market price is not large and thousands of people will definitely not be able to buy. ”

Although the thing was affirmed by Song Xiuping, Li Xianle still didn't seem very satisfied.

Seeing this, Song Xiuping said: "Xiaole, you also know what you think, but that kind of certificate is actually not very useful at all, how can ordinary insiders look at such things? But if you want to sell things to laymen, they will not necessarily be polite when they find a problem." ”

Li Xianle smiled bitterly: "Uncle Song, I also know what you said, but in these years, the pressure of life is too great, and I feel that my salary is not enough now, and when I have a child, how can this salary be enough." I don't want to ask my parents for money when I have to do it. ”

Li Xianle's thoughts, Meng Zitao can also understand, as a parent, of course, you have to think about your children, but if you engage in some crooked ways because of this, then it is a little too much, you can't steal or rob because you are poor, right?

I heard Li Xianle continue: "Don't worry, I'm just a bit of a fluke by doing this, I am old, and I am about to be born, no matter what, I will not do that kind of lard blinding my heart." ”

Seeing that Li Xianle had made up his mind, Meng Zitao and Song Xiuping no longer persuaded him, but they both sighed secretly in their hearts, hoping that Li Xianle would not suffer because of this.

With a decision, Li Xianle was ready to go to the venue of the treasure appreciation event. Meng Zitao originally wanted to treasure here, but because he was a little worried about Li Xianle, he followed.

Li Xianle said: "Xiao Meng, you are busy with you, you don't have to follow me." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "It's okay, I'm also quite curious about this kind of activity, go over and take a look, if it's not interesting, come back." ”

Afterwards, the two went to a teahouse not far from the antique city, where the treasure appreciation activity took place.

Before I walked to the teahouse, I saw that there were already a lot of people standing at the door, many of them holding things in their hands, including porcelain, jade, Buddha statues, calligraphy and paintings, etc., and there was everything.

When Meng Zitao saw this, he was a little surprised, but he immediately reacted, and in these years, many people's eyes lit up when they heard the word "free". Moreover, although most people now say that experts are "brick families", they still believe in them in their hearts, even if the other party is an outdated expert, it is still an expert, isn't it?

The two walked to the door of the teahouse and found that there were two staff members at the door to maintain order, and there was a table next to it, on which there were antique signs, and next to each sign there was a number printed on A4 paper. After listening to the introduction of the staff, the two of them realized that it was used in the queue.

Seeing that there were still vacant seats in the teahouse, Li Xianle asked the staff: "Isn't it empty inside, why are they still standing outside the door?"

The staff smiled and said, "There is money for drinking tea here." ”

Hearing this, Meng Zitao and Li Xianle were a little speechless, why should they stand outside the door if they could cost a cup of tea? But immediately, they were relieved in their hearts, these people were all coming for the word free, and there was no wind and rain today, so these people would not spend that unjust money.

Meng Zitao and Li Xianle didn't want to stand outside the door and wait, so they took the number and walked to the teahouse.

Walking indoors, Meng Zitao saw that on the rostrum set up not far away, well-dressed experts were commenting on the things in front of them, seeing large utensils, and several people walked off the stage together to appreciate and comment, like a treasure appreciation program on a certain station.

However, when Meng Zitao saw the expert who identified miscellaneous items, an incredible look flashed in his eyes, because he knew this so-called expert, and this person was not an expert at all, just a shovel.

It's not that Meng Zitao looks down on the shovel, there are also people with high eyesight in the shovel, but this person's eyesight is really poor. Meng Zitao just heard that he stepped on a mine when he was "shoveling the ground", no less than three times, and the last time he made a loss of money and owed a lot of debts.

Since then, this guy has never appeared in the antique market in Ling City, Meng Zitao thought that he was no longer in this industry, but his identity did change, but he actually changed from a shovel with poor eyesight to a talkative expert, this change is really big enough.
