Six kinds of antiques, jade mandarin duck jade pendant, gilded Bodhisattva bronze statue, purple and blue carved teacup, gossip tiger stripe incense burner, and that inkstone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Lin Yi's first sight was the gilded bronze statue of the Bodhisattva.

In fact, it is true, the gilded Bodhisattva bronze statue is estimated to be a product of the late Qing Dynasty, and the gilded layer on the surface is still very intact, looking golden and shining, and the appearance is excellent. Compared with the small jade pendant, teacup, as well as the ordinary incense burner and inkstone, this Buddha statue is absolutely atmospheric and classy.

At least in the eyes of a half-appraiser like Lin Yi, this Buddha statue seems to be the most valuable of the five collections.

So Lin Yi picked up the Buddha statue, looked at it carefully, and played with it carefully.

Although Mike Li said that he looked down on Lin Yi, he also watched him with the corner of his eye, and when he saw him staring at the bronze statue of the Bodhisattva, he couldn't help but show a trace of contempt in his eyes, after all, the soil buns from the mainland are still soil buns, if the treasure can be determined only by the appearance, what else do they need these treasure connoisseurs to do.

Looking at Lin Yi at this time, his brows were furrowed, and a hesitant expression appeared on his face, staring at the Bodhisattva statue like this, as if he was considering whether to choose it directly.

Although Lin Yi has little contact with antiques, he often wanders around the antique market and is familiar with it, but he doesn't know anything.

For example, this bronze statue, which is only the size of a palm, should be one or two hundred years ago from its style, and it is estimated that it was enshrined in a small temple and stolen by some thieves......

According to this calculation, the value of this Buddha statue should be at least hundreds of thousands, and the value is the largest compared to those collections.

Just when Lin Yi decided to choose this Buddha statue, suddenly, his nose smelled a wisp of ink......

How so?

Looking around, there don't seem to be any paintings and calligraphy.

Where did this ink fragrance come from?

With questions, Lin Yi followed the aroma and looked towards the source, and the sight was indeed the inkstone that he hadn't paid much attention to from the beginning.

This inkstone is rectangular in shape, and there is no decorative pattern carved on the surface, except for a groove in the middle for grinding ink and a place for resting the pen.

The inkstone is dusty and unremarkable, and it is hard to believe that this is also an antique.

But at this time, Lin Yi was eyeing it, with his keen intuition and his invincible sense of smell, he found that this inkstone contained abundant aura, and it was definitely a great thing, worth no less than one million!

Lin Yi glanced at it hurriedly, all kinds of thoughts flashed in his heart, and he had a general comparison, and finally his eyes shifted to the gilded Bodhisattva bronze statue.

Mike Lee's eyes flickered, and he was a little impatient, so he urged: "Have you chosen well, don't bother anymore." ”

Lin Yi smiled and picked up the Buddha statue with his hand.

Mike Lee's eyes twinkled with joy.

But I saw Lin Yi touch the head of the Buddha statue with his hand, and suddenly said: "If my guess is right, this kind of bronze statue was the most popular in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. ”

"As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, and this kind of road goods are not precious!" After Lin Yi said this, he glanced at Mike Lee intentionally or unintentionally.

Mike Lee hurriedly avoided his gaze, pretending not to care.

Lin Yi smiled, then put down the Buddha statue, picked up the inkstone casually, watched it carefully, played with it, and said in his mouth: "I like calligraphy and painting, so I will be stained with ink and choose this inkstone." I wonder what everyone thinks? ”

After speaking, Lin Yi looked at the three of them.

Hai Baichuan looked regretful, maybe in his opinion, this inkstone is not as good as the bronze statue at all, Lin Yi is definitely losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds.

Mike Lee's expression seemed to be very strange, and Uncle Chang looked pensive, as if he was thinking about something.

"Boss Hai, since I was invited by you, then please believe me once, this inkstone is definitely a rare treasure." Lin Yi straightened his waist and looked at Hai Baichuan, and said with confidence on his face.

Hai Baichuan looked at the inkstone again, ordinary, it was too ordinary, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like a baby.

In the end, he shook his head, looked at Lin Yi suspiciously, and asked, "Are you sure you made the wrong choice?" It can be seen that this inkstone does have some years, it is estimated that it is the early and middle Qing Dynasty, and it is used by those lowest-level readers to study ink and write books. This kind of inkstone is too ordinary, and it doesn't have much collection value! ”

Lin Yi restrained his smile, the expression on his face was very solemn, and he shook his head and said, "If you look more carefully, this inkstone is definitely not ordinary." ”

"Don't look at it, Lin Sheng, if you lose, you lose, it's not a big deal, I'm not such a stingy person." After Hai Baichuan finished speaking, he also glanced at Mike Lee.

Mike Lee's expression was very strange, there was no interface, and he was not as triumphant as before.

Lin Yi was a little depressed, and at this moment, he put the inkstone flat on the table, and said to Uncle Chang beside him: "Excuse me, go find some water, I want to wash this inkstone!" ”

Uncle Chang politely glanced at the big boss Hai Baichuan, as if waiting for his opinion.

"What do you want to do, do you want to show the pattern after washing?" Hai Baichuan felt a little funny and couldn't help asking.

Lin Yi glared at Boss Hai amusedly: "Washing the inkstone is just the most basic method of identifying the inkstone, won't you even know this?" ”

Hai Baichuan blushed a little, he really forgot this. You must know that as the inkstone collection enters the hot period, there are many tricks about the identification of inkstones, which boil down to the "six tips".

First, look, look at the quality, workmanship, product, inscription, decoration and new and old inkstone, whether it has been repaired, etc. If the inkstone has been repaired, there will always be some difference between the color of the repaired place and the original color of the inkstone.

Second, touch, get a side of the inkstone, you can touch it with your hands. If it feels smooth and delicate to the touch, it means that the stone quality is good, and if it feels rough to the touch, it means that the stone quality is poor.

3. Knock, hold the inkstone with five fingers, hit it gently, play the inkstone with your fingers, and smell its sound. If it is an inkstone, it is better to use the sound of wood. The sound of tiles is second, and the sound of gold is the next, and these three different sounds reflect the tender and old texture of the inkstone. If the sound of "poof, poof" is made, it means that the inkstone is muddy, or the stone has dark scars, which is inferior.

Fourth, washing, the inkstone should be cleaned and then identified. In particular, the ancient inkstone is stained with ink on the inkstone, which covers the natural beauty of the inkstone, and it is not clear to distinguish the age of the inkstone, so it is necessary to wash off the ink marks of the inkstone to see if the inkstone has scars and traces of repair.

Fifth, the weight of the inkstone by hand. The stone inkstone of the same size is generally set to be strong and strong, with fine particles and light inkstones. The method is especially applicable to the inkstone.

Sixth, carving, the good or bad of the inkstone, the first thing to worry about is the quality of the stone. Those who are familiar with the inkstone only need to gently carve a path on the inkstone, and they will immediately distinguish the inferiority and inferiority of the inkstone.

At this time, Lin Yi used the "word washing trick", and he wanted to clean this inkstone.

But immediately, Mike Lee, who had not spoken, said: "Lin Sheng, this is not suitable, the customer took the inkstone for me to identify, we had better leave it as it is, unless, we can get the customer's consent." ”

Hai Baichuan didn't expect Mike Lee to be so difficult and leave it as it is? How can you identify a fart?

"Mike, what do you mean by that, do you mean that just washing this inkstone moves the essence of the inkstone, this is too serious, right?" Hai Baichuan finally couldn't suppress his anger and glared at Mike Lee.

Mike Lee just smiled gloomily and said Tai Chi: "Mr. Hai is angry, I'm just talking about things, after all, I am the customer I receive, and I am responsible for the customer--- the-customer-is-god (the customer is God), isn't it?" ”

The sea is speechless.

Since you don't even allow it to be cleaned, let alone the engraving in the "lettering formula", how to identify this inkstone? Can it only be used to see, touch, knock, and check? That's too hard, isn't it?

Just when Hai Baichuan and Uncle Chang felt that there was no way, suddenly Lin Yi smiled and said, "Since you can't clean it with water, then make it simpler, take some ink strips, I want to grind ink and paint!" ”

What, at this time, you are still grinding ink and painting, what kind of airplane?! (To be continued.) )
