Huo Sining had never seen a living tortoiseshell, but he had a Guangxu New Year round box made of tortoiseshell material at Zhou Shitao, the round box had a crystal clear texture, clear and beautiful patterns, soft and bright color, and the three objects taken out by the man in front of him were exactly the same materials, so Huo Sining would recognize the materials of these three things so quickly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ancient books record that Wu Zetian used a lot of tortoiseshell jewelry, such as vases, pen holders, printing boxes, fat powder boxes, etc., in the Ming and Qing dynasties, all have tortoiseshell makers, the most famous of which is the tortoiseshell peach blossom fan left by Dong Xiaowan, one of the singers known as the 'Qinhuai Bayan' in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, which has always been talked about.

A few years ago, Sotheby's auctioned a whole set of Ming Dynasty tortoiseshell jewelry, which was eventually bought by an Englishman for £3 million.

Because tortoiseshell is classified as an organic gemstone, its high price makes it a popular target for counterfeiters.

Nowadays, there are few genuine tortoiseshell products in the antique market, and the so-called tortoiseshell products are mostly imitations made of other turtles, horns or plastics.

Huo Sining was very suspicious that the things in this person's hands were either genuine tortoiseshell modern handicrafts, which were illegal things, so those shops did not dare to accept them, or they were fakes made of other materials, which were seen through, and this person wanted to catch Kaizi and come to their store to try his luck again.

In this antique shop, most of them are deaf and clear-sighted, and the master is exquisite, if you want not to look at the eyes, in addition to looking at the object itself, other details must also be carefully observed, if this thing can not be figured out, then there is no need to mix.

With such thoughts, Huo Sining did not speak, but waited quietly to see Li Quan's reaction.

This is the first real appraisal since taking over the Treasure Pavilion, and Huo Sining is still watching from the side, Li Quan has the illusion that he is taking an exam, the nerves of the whole person are tense, and he sits opposite the man with a stiff body, and his eyes are carefully looking at the three things that the man took out, for fear of missing any details.

After staring at these three things for a long time, he raised his head and stared at the man in front of him, and asked tentatively, "How many of you are tortoiseshells, right?"

"How is it possible! These things are all my own, handed down from my ancestors!"

As soon as he heard Li Quan ask this, the man was suddenly shocked, and jumped up from the sofa like a fried cat, staring at Li Quan vigilantly with a pair of eyes, and pretending to be calm on his face.

"Uh......"

Li Quan saw this man's translation, and immediately went straight to the black line, he glanced at the man suspiciously, shook his head helplessly, and could only continue to explain, "The 'tortoiseshell' I am talking about, there is a 'king' on the left, which refers to an organic gem, not that you mean 'instead of a false collar'. ”

"Oh, that's what you mean, I thought you said that I didn't have this thing of my own, but that I took it from someone else?"

The man was suddenly a little embarrassed, and suddenly thought of Li Quan's words just now, and suddenly woke up a little, his eyes lit up, and he asked anxiously,

"I only know what old turtle shells these things are made of, I didn't expect this turtle shell to have such a name as tortoiseshell, listen to Boss Li, what you mean, this thing is made of precious stones, so this thing has been around for years, is it worth it?"

Li Quan had been staring at this man, for fear of missing any expression on this person's face, and when he heard this person ask, Li Quan was a little puzzled.

According to this man, this thing was handed down by his ancestors, and there is no reason why he would not know the material and age of this thing.

Normally, I am afraid that future generations will sell good things cheaply, so the general ancestral things are to explain the origin of the treasure in every detail, and it will not be so vague.

Li Quan also had some suspicions that these things were fakes, but there was no dodging and weak look in the man's eyes, but when he just said tortoiseshell, maybe because he misunderstood what he meant, the man was a little nervous.

Seeing this, Li Quan probably had a bottom in his heart: "This thing of yours is not an ancestral heirloom, it is played by the old people in the family, right?"

Only in this way can we explain why this person was so shocked when he heard the word "Dai Mao", he didn't know the origin of the things, and nine times out of ten he stole the things of the elders in the family and sold them.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Quan's words came out, the man's face suddenly changed greatly, and he subconsciously raised his head and stared at Li Quan.

Li Quan didn't speak, just raised his head and looked at the man lightly.

This person suddenly smiled at this time, and said with a smug smile: "Hehe, Boss Li, I didn't expect you to be quite expert at such a young age." This thing is a relic of my grandfather, who passed away just a week ago. My grandfather likes to collect these antiques, but I am not very lucky, when he passed away, I happened to be in the field, came back late, and when I came back, the old man's things were divided, Lao Tzu finally grabbed so many pieces, I don't know if it is true or false, this is not to take you here to see, if it is a valuable thing, it will be sold. ”

Hearing this man's explanation, Huo Sining and Jiang Xiaoqin on the side suddenly sank their faces, and their eyes were full of disdain when they looked at this man.

"This person is such a bastard, his grandfather has died, he can still laugh! What did he say that he didn't grab anything when he came back late, how could there be such a person in the world! Sister Ning Ning, such a scumbag, we must not let him take advantage of it!"

Jiang Xiaoqin originally took a box of high-quality Longjing tea out and prepared to make a pot of good tea for this person to drink, but when he heard this, he was immediately angry, and hurriedly stuffed the tea back into the cabinet, took a disposable plastic cup, took a cup of boiled water from the water dispenser, and handed it to the man so unceremoniously.

The man took the cup, and was scalded by the hot tea, and suddenly glanced at Jiang Xiaoqin with some unhappiness.

Jiang Xiaoqin said angrily: "I'm sorry, our store hasn't opened yet, the tea is not ready yet, I can only drink boiled water, don't mind, sir." ”

Seeing Jiang Xiaoqin's performance, the corners of Huo Sining's mouth twitched slightly, but she didn't want to give this person a drink of her own collection of good tea, so seeing Jiang Xiaoqin's sluggish action, Huo Sining did not show displeasure, but her eyes narrowed slightly, flashing an imperceptible smile.

Although this person is the grandson of the turtle, these are not under Li Quan's control, since they want to open a store, this kind of thing will not be uncommon, and they will slowly get used to it in the future, so Li Quan did not express any opinion on this person's behavior, but took out a magnifying glass and a strong flashlight, and directly started these objects.
