"What are you laughing at?" Yang Deng looked at Tang Dou and asked puzzled.

This thing laughed too obscenely just now, which made Yang Deng frown.

Tang Dou hurriedly collected his thoughts, and said: "I really admire my father so much, he actually took the Xuande furnace used by Emperor Lao Tzu to incense the God of Wealth." ”

Yang Deng shook his head and said, "For some antiques, use is the best maintenance. But I'm not sure that this Xuande furnace is Xuande three-year system, after the Xuande three-year palace closed furnace no longer cast, at that time the Ministry of Industry and the craftsmen who cast the Xuande furnace were gathered together to cast separately, but the Xuande Emperor purchased the batch of red copper from Siam has been used up, and the casters can only be replaced by yellow miscellaneous copper, although the workmanship is still exquisite, but the material is not as good as the end, and the bottom has also changed, there are 'Ming Xuande five-year supervision department Wu Bangzuo made' and' Li Chengde, the foreign minister of the Ministry of Industry, supervised the creation of 'and other knowledge, if you only look at the Xuande furnace in our hands, it is very similar to the Xuande furnace knowledge of Xuande for three years. ”

"What about the material? Is this one copper or brass? Mengzi asked hurriedly.

"Copper." Yang Deng said without hesitation.

Red copper has few impurities, close to pure copper, and has good toughness and ductility, while brass is mixed with a small amount of zinc, with poor toughness and ductility and high hardness. It's still relatively easy to distinguish between the two.

According to historical records, because the Xuande furnace in the manufacturing process, the material was involved in more than 30 kinds of precious metals, so the color of the Xuande furnace is rich and colorful, there is a strange light from the inside, changeable, the color is more than 40 kinds, there are Tibetan scripture color, tang pear color, vermilion spotted color, jujube red, amber, brown, etc., among which the Tibetan scripture color is the most noble.

Now the Xuande furnace in front of the three of them is dark purple and bright yellow, which is the color of the legendary Tibetan scriptures.

Mengzi grinned: "Then our Xuande furnace must be the real Xuande three-year Xuande furnace." ”

Tang Dou is very calm, this Xuande furnace was originally a Xuande furnace that was taken back from Xuande in three years, but he snatched it back in front of Emperor Xuande, can there be any mistake?

Yang Deng smiled and said cautiously: "I'm not sure about this, if my father or Uncle Zhou is here, I can let them help palm the eyes." As far as I know, from the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China period, the activities of the folk imitation of Xuande furnace have never been interrupted, some carefully cast imitations can even be comparable to the real product, even the authoritative experts can not distinguish, so far there are many major museums in the collection of Xuande furnace, so far there is no Xuande furnace is recognized by many experts as the real Xuande furnace. It can be said that the identification of the true and false Xuande furnace has become one of the unsolved cases in archaeology in China, and there is no authoritative conclusion so far. ”

Tang Dou has a black line, won't it, the Xuande furnace he got back is a real three-year Xuande system, according to this statement, this Xuande furnace may still be said to be imitated?

Seeing Tang Dou's sad face, Yang Deng smiled and said: "Whether this Xuande furnace is a three-year Xuande system, there is no doubt that this furnace is a high-quality product, even if it is imitated, it must be from the same group of craftsmen." Just now I used a simple method to calculate, the data is not very accurate, the density of red copper is 8. At 92 grams per cubic centimeter, the density of gold is 19. With 6 grams per cubic centimeter, I can be sure that the material of this furnace accounts for a large proportion of gold, which is the most noble material in the Xuande furnace. ”

Tang Dou's eyes lit up, he looked at Yang Deng and asked, "There shouldn't be many imitation Xuande furnaces that add gold to the materials, right?" ”

Yang Deng smiled: "In addition to Emperor Xuande, who is rich and pursues high-quality products, how many people are willing to add gold and silver to copper?" ”

"So our Xuande furnace is really a three-year Xuande system?" Mengzi looked at Yang Deng excitedly, and asked with a stammering face: "Sister Deng, can you estimate, how much is this Xuande furnace worth?" ”

In fact, Tang Dou is also very concerned about this problem, just now he secretly took his mobile phone to search, the auction price of Xuande furnace ranged from tens of thousands to tens of millions, the difference is very large, but those lots are imitated by the descendants of previous dynasties, even if a Qing imitation boutique has been auctioned for millions of dollars. And the real Xuande furnace is indeed as Yang Deng said, there is not a single one, but there is a Xuande furnace that is not sure whether it is a three-year Xuande furnace, which was auctioned at a sky-high price of 12.96 million yuan at last year's auction.

It seems that the Xuande furnace in his hand will not be worse than that, right? This one was taken out of Emperor Xuande's imperial study.

Yang Deng pondered for a moment and said: "Most of the Xuande furnaces that come out today have a diameter between eight and twelve centimeters, which are rare, and those that are larger than twenty centimeters are even rarer. The diameter between the ears of this Xuande furnace in our hands has reached twenty-six centimeters, and it is in the shape of coiling dragon ears, if I want to estimate it......"

Tang Dou and Mengzi's eyes were firmly fixed on Yang Deng's face.

Yang Deng pondered for a while, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Priceless treasure, I can't estimate the price, but the minimum value will not be less than twenty or thirty million." ”

"I'll go." Mengzi jumped up violently and grabbed Tang Dou's neck with both hands, and shouted: "Don't stop me, my brother is out today, and my brother will kill him for money." ”

Yang Deng snorted out laughing, looked at Tang Dou, who was sticking out his tongue and rolling his eyes, and said, "Douzi, I suggest that you invite Uncle Zhou back to take a look at this Xuande furnace." ”

Tang Dou raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to push away the fierce son, got up and took the Xuande furnace to a bright place, took more than a dozen photos from different angles with his mobile phone, and passed them directly to Zhou Lao from QQ.

Mengzi couldn't put it down and stroked the Xuande furnace, like a little lover, and his saliva almost flowed out.

Suddenly, Mengzi jumped up as if he remembered something, rushed out of the reception room and shouted: "Chunlai, hurry up and follow me to the warehouse to carry the showcase out again, damn, the treasure of our town store has been upgraded, I knew that it would be used so soon, Lao Tzu didn't bother to carry the showcase away, it was a mistake, it was too wrong......

After Tang Dou sent the photo to Zhou Lao, he directly called Zhou Lao's mobile phone, and the call was quickly connected.

"Master, I just sent you a few photos of the Xuande furnace."

"I'm looking, report me the size and weight of this stove, there's no indication on your photo."

Tang Dou sighed: "The diameter of the ears is twenty-six centimeters, and the weight is, you wait, I'll take a look...... The weight is four thousand three hundred and twenty-eight grams. ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, but it was only half a cigarette, and Zhou Lao's voice immediately came from the microphone again: "Where is this Xuande furnace?" ”

"In my shop."

"You took it?"

"Well, my dad left it behind."

"Put your things away, I'll be there early tomorrow morning."

"Master, if you want to see me send it to you...... Toot Toot ......"

Tang Dou looked at the phone that had been hung up in his hand, and spread his hands at Yang Deng: "Master said he would come over tomorrow." ”

Yang Deng smiled: "If my dad knew, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to wait to come over, he has always regretted that he didn't have the opportunity to see the real Xuande furnace." ”

Tang Dou's eyes lit up: "Why don't you ask the old man what he means, and if he agrees, I'll take the old man over?" He hadn't seen my master for more than ten years, so he could take this opportunity to get together with old friends. ”

Yang Deng was also quite moved, but hesitated: "But we just came back from Yuzhou this morning, and now that we are back, you have worked too hard." ”

Tang Dou smiled: "What are you afraid of if you work hard, as long as I can meet the old man's wishes, I will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire...... Hehe, I've said it, you can call quickly. ”
