Chapter 234: Gourd
The students of Jingcheng University were ready to give Chu Ning a little color, but Dean Xuan didn't react to Chu Ning's words, and still smiled gently, as if he hadn't heard anything. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
His attitude made Chu Ning's anger in his heart nowhere to vent, and his heart was depressed for a while.
In fact, Dean Xuan really didn't mind Chu Ning venting his anger slightly in his words.
After all, he himself knew that he was not doing it properly.
However, Dean Xuan was also really interested in Chu Ning's true strength.
He could see that in the previous exchange meeting, although Chu Ning was already the best performing student, she did not use her best.
This is unbelievable for a student who is still in school.
It is also for this reason that Dean Xuan wants to force Chu Ning to see how much ability Chu Ning still has.
The new exchange meeting began soon.
The category of miscellaneous is not very clear in the world of antiques.
Most of the antiques that are classified as miscellaneous are objects that are not easy to classify, and some of them have their own sub-categories.
For example, furniture, the four treasures of the study, ancient coins, ancient musical instruments, etc., many things belong to miscellaneous.
Because it is too difficult to divide, in fact, most schools do not have miscellaneous majors, but are subdivided into more majors.
It is also in recent years that some small-scale majors have been planned together in a general way, forming a miscellaneous major.
Even so, many colleges and universities still do not have miscellaneous majors.
Therefore, the name Miscellaneous may not sound as lofty as the name of porcelain, jade and other professions, but in fact, it contains the most things, and the content is also unimaginable.
But because there are too many miscellaneous things, there are very few people who can learn this major well.
Most of the students who study miscellaneous majors are actually only good at one of them.
Under these circumstances, the miscellaneous majors, which may have just been established for a short time, will soon become fragmented and redivided into several more detailed minor majors, which will become the history of the university's professional classification.
At the exchange meeting, all the students who were studying miscellaneous were nervously looking at the objects in front of them.
They all hope to meet what they are good at at the exchange meeting, otherwise, they will really only be blind.
The red silk cloth was lifted, and the first object that was revealed was a bit surprising.
It was a gourd.
To be precise, it's a gourd.
The gourd, as the name suggests, is naturally used to raise grasshoppers. Of course, in fact, the role of the gourd is not limited to the storage of grasshoppers, but also the storage of other similar species of songworms, but the grasshoppers are more famous and the most popular among everyone.
And the reason why everyone likes to use gourds to raise gnats is because the structure of the gourd is very ingenious.
If you place a coiled copper coil in the mouth of the gourd, and then add a porous and breathable lid, you can make the chirping sound of the gnats raised inside more crisp and elegant.
The effect of the high-quality gourd is like a sound, which makes people want to stop.
This kind of thing is usually very rare, and it can only be seen in a special flower and bird market.
I didn't expect that the first thing to be identified today would be it.
The gourd has a very long history in our country, but it was not until the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially the Qing Dynasty, that the gourd reached its peak.
It is not easy to make a high-quality gourd.
One of the biggest problems is that the gourd itself is very small due to insect pests, natural disasters, cultivation process and other reasons.
And let the gourd grow freely, wait until the gourd is mature, and then select the materials suitable for making the gourd, to have the right shape and leather, it is even more difficult.
This kind of naturally grown gourd, in terms of price, is also very expensive, and ordinary people simply can't afford it.
In addition to this method of hitting the luck, if you want to get a gourd that meets the requirements more easily, you can also put a mold on the outside of the gourd that has been formulated not long after it grows, so that the gourd grows according to the established shape.
The quality of the gourd itself, to a large extent, directly determines the price of the final gourd.
The best gourd, in addition to the thick skin and clean skin color, also requires the gourd to have no spots and scars, and the shape is full.
The slightest flaw will have a huge impact on the price.
The gourd in front of Chu Ning is dark yellow in color, and although the skin color does not have that lustrous and bright feeling, it is particularly delicate and introverted, which makes people look very comfortable.
The skin of the gourd is very smooth and has no patterns. In contrast, the lid on its head is much more delicate, not only engraved with intricate hollow patterns, but also has a unique style, which can be seen as a master's handwriting.
Half an hour later, everyone gave their own results.
Dean Xuan finished reading the other people's answers and put Chu Ning's at the end.
He raised the corner of his eyes, looked at Chu Ning, and then looked at Chu Yingluo.
That's right, Dean Xuan already knows that Chu Ning is Chu Yingluo's daughter.
He was really emotional, feeling that his old friend, had an outstanding daughter here!
If it weren't for this exchange meeting, I don't know how long my old friend would have hid him, the genius daughter of the antique world.
Chu Yingluo didn't know what Dean Xuan was thinking at all, and when he saw Dean Xuan looking over, he gave Dean Xuan a particularly smug smile.
Obviously, although the results of the appraisal have not yet been announced, Chu Yingluo believes in her daughter very much, and she is also very proud of Chu Ning's eyesight.
Dean Xuan didn't expect that his old friend, who had always been calm, would show such a childish expression, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
Soon, both sides announced the results of the identification.
The results of this appraisal can be described as varied.
Some people say that this gourd is from the Ming Dynasty, while others say that it is from the Qing Dynasty. Some say it's artificial, while others say it's naturally grown.
The valuations given vary widely, ranging from hundreds to thousands.
The identification of miscellaneous items is like this, everyone is good at different things, and not everyone knows a lot about the gourd, which inevitably has guesses and luck.
However, one of the results is particularly noteworthy.
Because of the answer given by the appraisal results, it was said that the gourd in front of him was the Sanhe Liu gourd in the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, and the estimate given reached 60,000!
Compared with those antiques that often cost tens of millions or even tens of millions, the number of 60,000 is very inconspicuous.
However, for a gourd, the price of 60,000 is already the price of a top-level gourd!
