Chapter 4** Pick up a small leak

"Let me say?" Ma Shiwei raised his hand and pointed to his nose, looking surprised.

"Mr. Li, we are not engaged in archaeology for identification, don't you ask me to say that it is not difficult for a strong man?"

Ma Shiwei smiled bitterly again, several people around him did not speak, they all looked at Ma Shiwei with a smile, seeing that so many eyes were focused on him, Ma Shiwei shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, I say, but I can only say from my professional side, whether you are right or not, you still have to ask Mr. Li, a great expert, he is the real collector and connoisseur."

Ma Shiwei looked very helpless, Li Yang looked at him with a smile and did not speak.

Ma Shiwei's expression made Li Yang understand even more that he must have seen something, and what would the result of a collection look like from an archaeological point of view, and Li Yang was also very curious about it.

"Let me say it, this thing has nothing to do with the Lanting Drinking Party"

After more than a minute, Ma Shiwei whispered, and when he heard Ma Shiwei say this, the smile on Li Yang's face became even greater.

"Doesn't matter?"

He Jie couldn't help frowning, this is an ancient wine glass, it doesn't look like a fine product, and it is a little damaged, if it has nothing to do with celebrities, this cup is not as valuable as he imagined.

"Yes, it shouldn't matter, I'm not a connoisseur, and I can't tell what period this cup is, but I can see a little problem with the lacquer on it, judging from the lacquer, this should be brushed during the Warring States Period."

Ma Shiwei nodded again, Li Yang's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded silently.

This wine glass is indeed a thing of the Warring States Period, but Li Yang can see it according to the shape and ornamentation, as well as the verification under the special ability, and the aperture on it also shows its age.

The things of the Warring States period definitely have nothing to do with the Lanting Cocktail Party, and there is a difference of six or seven hundred years, or even more.

At the Lanting Cocktail Party, this thing can be regarded as an antique, and the collection of antiques by people in that period was not as hot as it is now, many people were not even willing to collect, and those celebrities would not use such an old cup to drink.

"From the archaeological point of view, first of all, this is a piece of lacquerware, lacquer is a very antiseptic thing, it has been used in China more than 7,000 years ago, and with the development of time, lacquer has another function, that is, decoration"

Ma Shiwei said slowly, Li Yang just smiled at him and didn't speak, lacquerware is also a category in the collection. It's just that because there are relatively few good early ancient lacquerware surviving, the unearthed ones are not easy to preserve, and they are not as good as the Ming and Qing colored lacquers that followed, so this kind of early ancient lacquerware has not received much market attention at present.

"Did Dr. Ma mean paint?"

Tang Xiaoxiao frowned, looked at the wine glass in front of him carefully, and couldn't help but ask again.

Ma Shiwei was slightly stunned, then immediately shook his head with a wry smile, and glanced back at Li Yang.

Li Yang sighed slightly in his heart, sat up straight, and took over Tang Xiaoxiao's question: "Dr. Tang, paint is the current name, in the past, oil was oil, paint was lacquer, and there was not much relationship between them."

"Really?"

Tang Xiaoxiao looked up at Li Yang, then lowered his head and continued to look at the wine glass in front of him, without speaking again.

"Mr. Li is right, lacquer is actually a resin called lacquer tree, mostly produced in the south, the biggest role of this resin is anti-corrosion and bonding, many furniture in ancient times like to use lacquer, because lacquer can not only anti-corrosion, but also stick things very firmly, at that time lacquer also had a nickname called Wannian Prison"

Ma Shiwei paused, took a sip of coffee and continued: "We have all heard an idiom called like glue like lacquer, which means as sticky as lacquer and glue, and later it is to describe the feelings are fiery and inseparable. From this idiom, we can also see that the viscosity of lacquer is very high, and it is not inferior to glue at all"

Sighing, Ma Shiwei continued: "The viscosity of the lacquer is very high, but the color is very single, the earliest lacquer is mostly black and red, and it was not until the Han Dynasty that the color lacquer gradually appeared, we look at this feather, the lacquer on it is only black and red."

Ma Shiwei pointed to the wine glass on the table as he spoke, and everyone nodded, the color of this wine glass is indeed very single, and the red is not the bright red of later generations, but a very dark black red.

"Also, the crack on this reveals a thicker lacquer paste inside, each period of lacquer actually has their own characteristics, the Warring States period is the paint paste is very thick, dark color, I can't say what period this cup is, but this paint does look like the characteristics of the Warring States period."

Ma Shiwei finished his coffee in one sip and sat there quietly.

In fact, he still hasn't said a lot, this lacquerware is also unearthed, but the unearthed time is much earlier than the pair of lion cubs, Ma Shiwei estimates that this thing has been dug up for at least more than a hundred years.

There are still many differences between the things that are dug up and the things that have been handed down, and Ma Shiwei is an expert in archaeology, and he has studied things underground.

It's just that these are very professional things, and he doesn't have to say them all, just say what he thinks.

"Admire, I think Professor Ma can also change his career to be an appraiser"

Li Yang stretched out his thumb again, smiled and said, I know a little bit about Qi Li Yang, but let him deduce the age by looking at the characteristics of the lacquer, he can't do it, Ma Shiwei can judge that it is something from the Warring States Period just by looking at the lacquer on the surface of this wine glass, and he is definitely a real expert with real talent and learning.

"It's something from the Warring States Period, Li Yang, how much can this thing be worth?"

He Jie asked again, he didn't understand either archaeology or identification, let He Jie see the most intuitive value, high value is a good thing.

Shi Qin and Tang Xiaoxiao's expressions were also similar, caring about how the paint on this thing was painted, or when it was brushed, it was better to directly understand how much this thing could be worth.

"At present, the ancient lacquerware has not been paid much attention by too many people, the general value is not too high, and this cup has a certain amount of damage, plus most of the feather buds appear in sets, and a single word will also affect its value"

Li Yang hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "Based on the current market estimate, I think the market price of this feather bud should be about 20,000 yuan, and it may be 30,000 yuan if you meet someone who likes it, but I believe that this kind of thing will definitely increase in value in the future."

"Twenty thousand?"

He Jie was slightly stunned, the interest on his face was obviously reduced a lot, a 20,000 yuan thing was not in his eyes He Dashao, at first he thought that this was another good treasure worth millions, but the final result really disappointed him.

"Brother Jie, collecting should not only look at the value, but also look at its significance, the old man often said to me"

Looking at He Jie's appearance, Li Yang immediately guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile.

Li Yang persuaded He Jie, but he didn't particularly care about it in his heart, He Jie is not a collector, he doesn't understand the meaning of collectibles, Li Yang has very few collections now, and there is no early ancient lacquerware, this thing can be regarded as making up for a gap in Li Yang's hands.

As for the better, national treasure-grade early ancient lacquerware, it depends on luck.

Anyway, this is also a treasure that can be bought for hundreds of dollars, but it can be worth tens of thousands of yuan, which is also a small leak, for Li Yang, it is a kind of fun to pick up the leak, and it doesn't matter if the leak is big or small.

After resting in the café for a while, several people returned to the hotel directly, Zhao Yong, as the captain, needed to wait for Li Yang's order at all times and stayed in the hotel, he was in a separate room.

Meimei rested for the night, and when she got up the next day, Li Yang felt better in spirit.

He Jie, Ma Shiwei, their spirits have basically returned to normal, and after breakfast, they called Shi Qin and Tang Xiaoxiao and a few of them went to the Potala Palace together.

The most famous place in Lhasa is the Potala Palace, the city has so many close ties with this palace that it would be a pity not to visit the Potala Palace no matter what you came to Lhasa for.

Before 12 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone returned to the hotel, packed their luggage, and after lunch, they got on the bus and set off.

Zada County is located in the Ali region of Tibet, also west of Lhasa, from Lhasa to Zada County is more than 1,300 kilometers away.

This distance is nothing in the Central Plains, where transportation is convenient, and it takes more than ten hours to drive the whole high-speed car, but in Tibet, these distances will take at least more than a day.

It was Zhao Yong who was responsible for Li Yang's safety, and after discussing with Li Yang and He Jie, Zhao Yong decided to rush to Zada County in a day and a half, and their mission time this time was not in a hurry.

When he set off, Li Yang called the old man again to report his itinerary, and accidentally obtained the Warring States Yuzhen Li Yang also told the old man that it was not easy to see the early ancient lacquerware of the Central Plains in Lhasa.

In the evening, Li Yang and the others arrived in Latse County, where they planned to stay.

Soon after stopping, Li Yang stayed alone and Liu Gang went out for a trip, and came back after more than two hours, for which Zhao Yong also complained very much, and Li Yang would definitely not be allowed to go out alone next time, which made Liu Gang have a big opinion.

At eight o'clock the next night, Li Yang, who had been walking for a whole day, finally arrived in Zada County.

After a day and a half of driving, everyone was already exhausted, especially He Jie and Tang Xiaoxiao, who had never come out after getting out of the car after entering the room.

Shi Qin and Ma Shiwei were better, they came out to eat something with Li Yang, and finally they all went back to their rooms, Li Yang and they stayed in the water conservancy bureau hotel in Zada County, and the conditions were very average. In this small county with a total population of just over 10,000 people, it is impossible to stay in the StarWorld Hotel, but fortunately, everyone knows that they have a mission this time, and no one complains because of the accommodation conditions.

……………………

There are a lot of things at home today, and I can only guarantee two shifts, and Xiao Yu will definitely break out after being busy.

The treasure house of the Guge Kingdom is right in front of him, can Li Yang open this treasure house? How many treasures will be revealed soon after opening, and the following content will be even more exciting
