Chapter 32: The Son of Jingdezhen
Qin Yu's window was not far from the road where several people were, but it was not close. It was a distance where I could hear the conversation of several people, but I couldn't see what was in the bag of the two middle-aged men.
With the roar of the tall and thin man, the crowd of onlookers became larger. The little couple in the Roewe car was a little panicked when they heard that a bottle had been broken.
"Big brother, what do you mean?" the young boy looked nervous.
"I just bought this bottle for more than 30,000 yuan in the afternoon, and I put it in the trunk to take it home, and it was smashed by you, what do you say!" The tall and thin man said in a stern tone, looking distressed.
The fat man also looked anxious, and kept rubbing his hands: "Oh, what should I do, it's broken, it's broken, it's more than 30,000 yuan!
The little couple was immediately stunned, and the two looked at each other, nervous and scared.
"Big brother, how can this prove that we broke it?" asked the girl with a trembling voice.
"How to prove it?!" The tall and thin man snorted coldly and took out his mobile phone: "I just bought it in the morning, can I put it in the car?"
After speaking, he opened the photo, and on it was a complete Longquan kiln jade pot spring bottle. Then, he also took out two relatively complete pieces of broken porcelain and showed them to the people around him. After comparing the details, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is indeed the same thing as in the photo. Even the bottom piece of kiln sticky is exactly the same.
"This kiln stickiness is the impurities on the porcelain after the kiln is sticky, which is a kind of flaw, not everything has it, and even if there is, it cannot be exactly the same. But do you see this picture exactly the same as the one in my hand?"
The tall and thin man kept explaining to everyone, and the young couple's faces turned white.
The young boy stammered a little when he spoke: "Big brother, you said this, I hit it, but it can't be worth more than three, thirty thousand... Right?"
"Hmph, do you want to show you the transfer records?" The tall and thin man was angry: "Do you want to repay the debt?
It was close to noon, the sun was in the sky, and the fiery sun was scorching the earth. This could not stop the enthusiasm of the crowd at all. Voices began to be heard in the crowd.
"Young man, it's impossible for people to smash this thing by themselves, and deliberately come to slander you, right?"
"Yes, I know a little bit about antiques, this should only be a reward bottle from the Longquan kiln in the Song Dynasty, and the price of more than 30,000 yuan is indeed not falsely reported to you. β
"This young man is pitiful, it was a matter of thousands of dollars to hit a car, and he will have to lose tens of thousands of dollars next time. β
"Who's to say it isn't. β
Looking at the little couple again, crying and mourning, the girl's tears came down, which caused a sigh from the onlookers.
Qin Yu was very interested when he saw this, and even had an urge to go downstairs to see the excitement.
The boy gently put his arm around the girl's shoulders, comforted her in a whisper, and said with some resignation: "Two big brothers, you can't draw conclusions just based on your family's words. Why don't we call the police to deal with it, if the police say let me pay money, let's discuss the amount of compensation again, do you think it's okay?"
The two middle-aged men glanced at each other, and the fat man said, "It's understandable that you call the police, but the police may not be able to understand the value of this thing." In this way, this is not far from Chengtian Antique City, I will call an expert friend to come over and help estimate the price. My friend is very famous, and he is a porcelain expert on Beijing Satellite TV's "Treasure Recognition" program. β
The onlookers thought it was a good idea, and they persuaded the two young couples to do so. The boy was also a little hesitant, but when he heard that this person was an expert on TV and thought that he was an authority figure, he nodded in agreement.
Things are going well, and they seem to be moving in a direction that everyone is happy about.
But Qin Yu always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say it.
"Lao Tie, do you think these two men are a little strange? They don't want to call the police, could it be that they are afraid of extraneous branches?"
"It's kind of weird. But it's useless to think more, so why don't you go down and see?"
Lao Tie's thoughts coincided with Qin Yu, he originally thought that Lao Tie would blame him for being nosy, but he didn't expect his curiosity to be so heavy.
"Do you think that the old man is idle, just like you, every day? The old man is recently chasing the American drama "LIETOME", and the micro-expressions of criminals are a science, and you don't understand it. β
βγγγγγγ Qin Yu couldn't figure out why this old iron was watching TV every day: "Aren't you chasing Min Ho Oba?"
"That kind of naΓ―ve youth film, that is, you are a greasy young man born in the 90s who likes it. β
Nima, where am I greasy, am I very Buddha-natured? Qin Yu complained silently.
By the time Qin Yu slowly straightened his clothes and went downstairs, the expert had already arrived.
Qin Yu knew this person, his name was Liu Gang, a little old man about sixty years old. He is indeed a porcelain expert in the "Treasure Reading" column, and he usually likes to wear a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on TV, and his hair is neatly put back, looking quite like an old pedant. Qin Yu had heard the merchants of Panjiayuan mention this person, and he heard that there was indeed some real material.
The fat man who had already parked the car on the side of the road and was waiting on the sidewalk hurriedly greeted him.
"Teacher Liu, you're here. The thing is over there, and I would like you to help me with my palm. β
With a warm smile on his face, Liu Gang shook hands with the fat man slightly, and his eyes found the pale young couple again, and smiled kindly at them.
"Young man, don't be nervous. I've always been honest and will never overestimate prices. β
The hands of the two clasped together tightened, and the boy forced a smile: "Then please Teacher Liu." β
Liu Gang walked to the travel bag, and his expression immediately became calm. He crouched down, reached for a piece of porcelain, and looked closely at the sunlight.
At the same time, Qin Yu's eyes were also firmly fixed on the broken porcelain.
Take the soil, practice the mud, make the blank, glaze, enter the kiln... Every step is meticulous and meticulous.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the potters were responsible for their own division of labor, and spent many days, one process at a time, to prepare hundreds of different types of porcelain that had been prepared and dried, and placed them in different temperature areas in the kiln, and then closed the kiln door.
During firing, there are kiln workers who are constantly in front of the kiln, adjusting the firewood from time to time to control the temperature in the furnace. Rao is so, and the finished product after the final kiln is less than forty percent.
Qin Yu saw the whole process of porcelain firing for the first time, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the hard work and persistence of the ancient porcelain people. It is their repeated research and continuous study that have left countless legendary treasures to future generations.
It's just that as soon as the scene turns to modern times, the style of painting suddenly changes.
After coming back from another time and space, Qin Yu's gaze at the two middle-aged people became a little strange, and he admired Liu Gang even more.
"Young man, I took a look at this thing, it should have been a Longquan kiln jade pot spring bottle produced in the Northern Song Dynasty. If you look at the fractures of these porcelain tiles, the tire color is delicate and white, indicating that some of these fractures are all new stubble, that is, they have just been broken. Liu Gang carefully put the porcelain back into his travel bag, stood up, and patted the young boy on the shoulder with great affinity.
"The current market situation of this thing, the price of the whole product may be hundreds of thousands of yuan. β
When the little couple heard this, they were so frightened that their legs went limp. The girl's eyes were even darker, and she cried loudly.
The onlookers also gasped when they heard this.
"Mom, this can't be compensated for the dead!"
"These two young men have made a big mistake this time. β
"That's not right, didn't that thin and tall man just now say that he bought it for more than 30,000 yuan, why did it become hundreds of thousands now?"
Liu Gang smiled slightly, and then said, "Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet." The price of this whole product, we said that it can be sold for hundreds of thousands. But I didn't say that this is a full product, you all see, there are a few lines on the fragments along this mouth, and the line has been blackened, that is to say, this is an old chong, which existed before it was unearthed. β
The tall and thin man was anxious when he heard this: "Expert, Mr. Liu, you can't say that, I didn't see these lines when I bought them!"
Liu Gang waved his hand and motioned him not to speak: "This friend, what you said is not right." If there is something wrong with this thing, there is something wrong, and if it is so, you can't help it if you are not convinced. Friends, we all know that this porcelain, there are problems and problems, the price is heaven and earth, and now the bottle is broken again, this price is not easy to estimate. I'll give you a personal estimate, 20,000 yuan!"
The onlookers saw that what he said was one by one, and there was reason and evidence, and they all had the illusion that they were watching the program "Knowing Treasure".
"Expert, I bought it for more than 30,000 yuan, why should you estimate it at 20,000 yuan?" the tall and thin man stopped doing it, and shouted angrily.
And the young couple suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions turned from worry to joy. How could they not be happy that the price had been cut in half at this time? The young boy was already ready to call home and ask for money.
The fat man's face was also a little bad, he hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said: "You are an expert, what you say must be well-founded, just do what you say! Lao Wang, let's admit it!"
The thin and tall old king had a gloomy face and didn't speak for a long time.
"Lao Wang!"
"Okay, I think I'm unlucky!" the tall and thin man slapped the car door hard, but finally nodded.
The onlookers applauded one after another, and kept praising Liu Gangde for his high esteem, virtue, and evidence. The young couple also went up to shake hands with him and kept saying words of thanks.
When everyone was happy, a discordant voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"Originally, you slandered people, but I just wanted to treat it as if I didn't see it. But you obviously got cheap, and you still look like a dead parent, I really can't stand it. β
Qin Yu walked to the side of the tall and thin man and looked at a few people with a smile: "You are Lao Wang, right? β
