"Wood carving is a kind of sculpture, which can be divided into three categories: three-dimensional round carving, root carving, and relief carving." Xu Fan smiled confidently, moved lightly, and walked onto the podium in the attention of the audience, "China's wood carvings are widely distributed, and the tide rises and falls. Due to the different local customs, it is divided into many schools with strong local characteristics, among which the most famous is Dongyang wood carving and boxwood carving. ”

"This little brother is right." Shan Guotao nodded lightly and agreed with Xu Fan's words, but then his voice changed, pointed to the auction item, and asked more similarly, "But this is just the common sense of wood carving." I wonder if the little brother can see the variety of this wood carving? ”

"The texture of this wood carving is tough and smooth, the texture is fine, the color is yellow and warm, it has an ivory effect, the darker the color is over time, the more simple and beautiful, it must be a boxwood carving." Xu Fan glanced at the auction item and said firmly.

"Not bad! This thing is a boxwood carving, and the little brother has a vision. Xu Fan's answer made Shan Guotao's voice rise slightly, and after glancing at Xu Fan, he continued to ask, "I wonder if the little brother can identify the age of this item?" ”

"65 years." Xu Fan didn't come close to study, and he didn't even look at it, so he came to a conclusion.

"Oh?" Xu Fan's action made the audience cry out in surprise. In the past, appraisers, whether they were famous or novices, would use various props to identify something, and they could only give the answer after observing for a short period of time, but the answer was only an approximation, but Xu Fan said the answer without even looking at it, and it was so accurate, no wonder everyone at the scene was surprised.

"Hey! Brat! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! 65 years, can you prove it? ”

"Hurry down! Don't be ashamed! Replace me up! ”

"Dare you be the reincarnation of a god, you don't even need to look at it to know the year of this thing?"

"Haha. 65 years? Aren't you funny, antiques are at least a hundred years old, and more than 60 years are considered antiques? ”

The surprise was followed by a burst of boos, and no one would believe that Xu Fan could tell the age of this antique without even looking at it. You must know that Shan Guotao also used a magnifying glass to look at it for a while when he was appraised just now, is this Xu Fan more awesome than Master Shan? No kidding! It's not time to dream yet.

For such a voice, Xu Fan did not refute, just pursed his lips, and looked at the performance of everyone in the audience with interest, if to paraphrase a common saying to describe his feelings at this time. That is: a sense of intellectual superiority arises spontaneously.

"Ahem!" Shan Guotao coughed heavily and interrupted everyone, "I wonder if this little brother can tell him, why is he so judged?" ”

"Okay." Xu Fan nodded at Shan Guotao, looked at everyone with a smile and said. "The prototype of boxwood carving was born and the end of the Qing Dynasty, more than 100 years of wood carving artwork is extremely rare, so less than 100 years, it is called antique!"

Xu Fan's words made many people bow their heads in shame, especially the guy who laughed at Xu Fan just now, and he didn't even dare to raise his head. They thought that wood carving had been born for hundreds of years, thousands of years, but they didn't expect it to be only a short 100 years old.

"Judging by the technique of this wood carving. The style is fresh and smooth, simple and round, and it must be from the hand of Zhu Zichang, a boxwood carver, but this work is obviously imperfect in some places, and there are many defects, which should be written by Zhu Zichang's descendants. In the end, it was perfected by the Zhu family, but from the perspective of knife skills, Zhu Zi at this time was often inconvenient and his arms were weak. It should be in the twilight of life, and according to the current color degree of this work, I conclude that it must be no more than 65 years old, and the current market price is around 400,000 yuan. Xu Fan chuckled and looked at everyone in the audience, and then talked eloquently.

"This ......"

"It doesn't sound like nonsense."

"Could it be that this man happens to be very familiar with this wood carving? Or did you prepare in advance? ”

"It's impossible, just a glance from beginning to end, you can tell the origin and style of this thing? How is this possible! ”

Xu Fan's performance made the opposition on the scene disappear suddenly, and many people were stunned on the spot, they wanted to belittle Xu Fan, but they couldn't find a suitable excuse, and the audience was shocked for a while.

"Good! Wonderful! Just when everyone was stunned, Shan Guotao suddenly applauded and praised, "This little brother really lives up to the reputation of a young talent, and the conclusion he came to is completely consistent with mine!" My extrapolation is also 65 years! ”

Shan Guotao's determination made many people at the scene widen their eyes, as if they had seen alien creatures, Xu Fan found the item, and then identified and priced him, he just glanced at it, which can be called a miraculous skill.

"Hehe, Master Shan praised it falsely, this is just that I happen to be familiar with boxwood carving." Facing Shan Guotao's praise, Xu Fan shook his head and said modestly.

"Not arrogant or impatient, it is really a rare talent." Shan Guotao praised Xu Fan again, and then asked seemingly casually, "I don't know what this little brother is called?" ”

Xu Fan smiled politely and just wanted to answer Shan Guotao's question, but at this moment, a huge burst of surprise sounded in the audience again, as if he had heard something unbelievably terrible.

In fact, the main reason why everyone is surprised and inexplicable is Shan Guotao's usual style: he has always been calm and indifferent, how can he care about the name of a young man? Unless, he himself has something that can make Shan Guotao pay attention.

"My name is Xu Fan, Yan Wu Xu, ordinary Fan." Xu Fan nodded lightly at Shan Guotao and said.

"Good! Extraordinary in the ordinary, Xu Fan! Not bad. Shan Guotao nodded heavily, his voice slightly excited.

"This guy really has two brushes, I really didn't expect him to get praise from Master Shan,"

"Oh my God! I knew that I would go up too, but I was not present for such a showy thing. ”

"Although this guy has some abilities, but with these abilities, he can be compared to Master Shan?"

Many of the people are fans of Shan Guotao, and they stubbornly believe that although Xu Fan has some ability, it is absolutely impossible to be able to compete with Shan Guotao.

Just when everyone was surprised, Chen Shaohua was very unhappy, he thought of such a trick after thinking about it, and he was counting on being able to make Xu Fan lose face, but he didn't expect to make a wedding dress for Xu Fan in the end, which made him in the limelight! This made him very depressed. Looking at Xu Fan's face full of smiles, Chen Shaohua was angry, but when he thought of the next thing, his face suddenly became relaxed again.

"Jumping clown, let you be proud for a while, and after a while, I will let you know your ignorance and sorrow, and I will definitely make you regret messing with me!" (To be continued.) )
