Chapter 154: Bamboo Carved Incense Tube

Li Yi was in charge of jewelry and jade, Liu Ming was in charge of calligraphy and painting and pure gold jewelry, He Shangkun was in charge of ceramics, and the rest were classified as miscellaneous items and Mo Lao was in charge.

After reading the general report, several people with a notebook followed Wang Dachuan to the warehouse and began the arduous verification work.

Li Yi fiddled with the computer first and found that the jade was divided into jadeite, Hetian jade, ancient jade, and four other items. Although there are only four items of jewelry, they are much more complicated than jade.

The first major item of jewelry is gemstones, which include diamonds, emeralds, ruby sapphires, and four other sub-items.

The second major item is semi-precious stones, including crystal, tourmaline, coral, agate and a total of five other sub-items.

The third item is costume jewelry, which includes synthetic gemstones as well as two other sub-items.

The fourth major item is pearls, which are divided into two sub-items: seawater beads and freshwater beads.

Each of these items has a unique number, and this number is very long, including the time of receipt, the sub-code, the sequence code, the code of the receiving appraiser, and many other information.

The placement of jewelry is according to the month of receipt, and the jewelry and jade received in the same month are basically on the same shelf, corresponding to the number, which should be easier to find.

However, this is not the case, because a large part of these collected items have been sold, and after adjusting the order of placement, some confusion will inevitably occur, which will add great difficulty to the verification work.

Not to mention that after reading the authenticity of things, it is necessary to evaluate the receipt price and the selling price, and mark the computer if there is a problem, which is a lot of work...... A few of them don't have a spirit card, so if they are pressed down so much, can they ensure that they can see everything accurately? But if it can't be guaranteed, what's the point of this work?

Liu Ming couldn't help but smile when he saw that Li Yi's brows were about to pull out flowers,

"In fact, we do this work almost once a month, and the problems have long been identified. Especially these accumulated over the years, it is said that it is to be seen, but in fact, we only need to look at the months that have not had time to verify each time, and the others are directly signed......"

I'll go! It turns out that there is such a joint in it! I'll just say it. It is impossible to arrange such a work that is simply impossible!

"Wang Lao, who was in charge of jewelry and jade before, has a very high level, but he has not been in good health recently and has taken a long vacation, so you only need to look at the parts that he has not checked. Well, starting here in November. Not much, right? ”

Li Yi took a look, and it was really, although he hadn't had time to sell much because of the late harvest, but the total number of jewels and jade sold out, when he died, and during the redemption period was only more than 800 pieces, which was less than one-eighth of what he thought before!

Really, I didn't say it earlier, I almost didn't scare the baby......

Li Yi patted his chest, turned his head, and saw that Mo Lao and He Shangkun were both very high-spirited and bright. I couldn't help but roll my eyes, can I still play happily? A bunch of old people don't repair!

Lao Buxiu Mo Lao looked at Li Yi with a smile,

"Xiao Li, there is another benefit to this kind of verification! If you're lucky and have enough eyesight, maybe you'll be able to do it this time! ”

Li Yi's eyes rolled, picking up the leak?

"Hehe, you react quickly! It is not allowed to pick up leaks within the company, but if any major leaks are found. After the sale, the company will reward the appraiser with one-fifth of the sale price, and if you are lucky, you can buy another x5 at a time! ”

Li Yi rolled his eyes. It's just good and not bad, it's easy to pick up a big leak, but this time he didn't offend the appraiser who was picked up by him to death? It's strange to believe you!

After a few jokes, several appraisers carried the computers to the shelves that they needed to check, and all kinds of tools were put on to start the verification.

Although they say it lightly. But in practice, I was very careful. This time it was an internal inspection of the pawn company, and it was found that the problem was still an internal contradiction among the people. But after that, the Ministry of Supervision will also organize the appraisers from the auction house to come over for spot checks, and if they are unfortunate enough to find out any major mistakes within the scope of their responsibility, it will not be explained by two simple words.

Similarly, every time a lot is prepared by the auction house, the pawn shop will organize forces to check it repeatedly.

Under the coordination and control of the head office, on the whole, the atmosphere of competition between the two companies is quite benign. But after so many years, there are still many appraisers who have even become enemies in private, and perhaps this is exactly what the company wants.

However, Li Yi does not know these circumstances yet.

Compared with jewelry, the classification of jade is much simpler, so Li Yi first chose jade.

After checking the November report, he began to check them one by one in order.

The first piece is a ring noodle full of mung bean seeds, the receiving price is 800 yuan, and the retail price is 2,700 yuan, no problem. The second piece is a piece of Hetian jade green jade brand, the receipt price is 300 yuan, and the retail price is 800 yuan, which is no problem......

Half an hour passed, Li Yi paid attention to the progress of Mo Lao and the others, and found that compared to his current speed, they were more than twice as slow. Of course, there are different reasons for this, but the most important thing is that he has a spirit identification card, so he doesn't have to worry about being eye-catching.

As for the question of whether to slow down a little bit, he had considered it at the beginning, and at present, this speed has been the result of his deliberate control. As for being slow enough for them, he didn't think about it, because it would be a kind of torment for him, so he planned to simply use this inspection to form the impression that he was a fast gunman in their minds, so that he would have a hard time in the future.

However, judging from the current situation, for these ordinary appraisers who do not have sharp weapons such as spirit identification cards, even if it is only a little more than a month's inventory, it is still a very difficult job to get so much in three days.

Time passed slowly, and there was no sound in the warehouse except for a few sporadic coughs and the footsteps of a few people going back and forth between the computer and the shelves, and it was quiet as if no one had saved it.

Li Yizheng was holding a jade cicada with a Han Eight Knife and looking at it carefully, when he suddenly heard Mo Lao cough and said:

"You all come here, help me look at this, I always feel that there is a problem, but I don't find anything wrong when I look at it......"

Hearing that Mo Lao had discovered a problem, several people put down what they were looking at and leaned over.

This is a piece of almost 20 centimeters high Xiangshan Jiu Lao Tu bamboo carved incense tube, the whole incense tube is jet black, the main technique used is openwork, at first glance the carving is not bad, the relevant techniques are used smoothly and naturally, the knife method has a kind of simple and vigorous atmosphere, like an old object.

In the blank space below the incense tube, the money is reserved for the incorruptible idiot.

Honest idiot is the Qing Dynasty Kangxi period of the famous bamboo carver Feng Xilu's number, Feng Xilu brothers three, are Jiading school bamboo carving masters, known as "Jiading bamboo carving Dingzu", among which Feng Xilu is the most outstanding, the existing hand-me-down work "bamboo carving Arhat", in the Shanghai Museum.

The appraiser who received the goods believed that this was an imitation of an unknown carver in the late Qing Dynasty, but because the carving was exquisite, the leather shell was natural and simple, and there were no traces of aging, so the value was higher, and the price of the building was 88,000 yuan, and the receipt only cost 32,000 yuan.

Bamboo carved incense tube belongs to one of the small ornaments of the desk culture, in the past, some readers liked to put some incense in the study, so they needed a special incense tube.

This kind of incense stick is generally divided into two categories, one is like this incense stick. This kind of incense in the cartridge is non-combustible, has no open flame, and will not smoke, but it can emit a faint aroma, so it is especially suitable for placing it on the desk of the study. Because of the need to diffuse the aroma, most of them use the openwork method.

There is also a kind of incense tube that is specially used to burn incense, because the aroma needs to rise upward, so this kind of incense tube is generally not hollowed, and there will be an extra tube inside the tube, and there will be an eye at the bottom of the gall to install the incense steadily.

Speaking of which, we have to mention some controversies about the interpretation of the idiom of scholarly mendi.

There are currently three interpretations of the word "incense" in the scholarly door, and the most accepted one is to connect the word "scholarly" to understand. According to legend, in order to prevent silverfish from biting books, the ancients would place a kind of rue herb in the book, which has a fragrance of fragrance, and the book with this grass is opened with a fragrance that hits people, so it is called "book fragrance".

The second explanation is that "incense" represents the ancestral hall, family temple, and genealogy, and represents a kind of inheritance, because only those who have a heritage can be called a "family".

However, some people do not agree with the above two statements, and they believe that the "incense" in the scholarly door should literally refer to the incense placed in this incense tube. Compared with the first two, this explanation is a little far-fetched, but it cannot be completely denied.

Liu Ming picked up the incense stick first, looked at it for a while and said:

"I'm mainly interested in painting and calligraphy, so I can only comment on this pattern. Xiangshan Jiulao is one of the most common themes in bamboo carving, from this thing, the whole layout is very reasonable, the figures, trees, rocks are moderately proportioned, harmonious, the picture is also more exquisite, I think it is a fine work. ”

After speaking, he handed the incense tube to He Shangkun,

"You often see a lot of porcelain carvings, so express your opinion."

What are you doing, porcelain carving and bamboo carving are two different things, okay? This Liu Ming, he didn't forget to joke at work!

He Shangkun waved his hand and motioned for him to return the incense tube to Mo Lao, everyone couldn't see the miscellaneous items clearly, so why did he bother to get an axe?

Mo Lao nodded, looking at Li Yi with an elegant gaze,

"Xiao Li, what do you think?"

Li Yi took the incense tube from Liu Ming's hand, looked at it carefully, and said:

"Bamboo is indeed old bamboo, but this object is not the work of an unknown bamboo carver, this should be the work of Feng Xilu himself."

Liu Ming and He Shangkun were shocked at the same time, you kid, a little character who learns jewelry and jade, in front of everyone like Mo Lao, you dare to comment indiscriminately? Do you know the difference between the real and the fake? Did you know that once this idea is true, it represents a big leak? (To be continued.) )
