Kong Xiangfeng's eyes widened, and there was a look of consternation on his face, and it wasn't until Zhao Zhuo said the thirtieth piece that he let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "I'm really a class axe, I didn't expect you to be a master, little brother." ”

Zhao Zhuo said: "I'm just a little involved, and I'm embarrassed to say it directly, but seeing that the uncle has collected so much, it must have cost a lot of money and a lot of effort. ”

Kong Xiangfeng hurriedly said: "Little brother, what is this, if it is a fake, it is a fake, and if it is genuine, it can't be fake, if you want to blame me, I think I have good eyesight, but I didn't expect it to be all slapped." ”

In the end, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and the excited expression just now was gone.

Zhao Zhuo picked up one of the three jade carvings, the jade rabbit, and said with a smile: "Although it must have cost a lot of money to do so much, this jade rabbit is a high-quality item that can be found on the black market." ”

"Really?" Kong Xiangfeng's eyes suddenly lit up and said.

Zhao Zhuo bowed slightly, and analyzed carefully: "This jade rabbit was mostly a flaky carving before the Spring and Autumn Period, and it almost disappeared after the Spring and Autumn Period. After entering the Tang and Song dynasties, most of them were three-dimensional round carvings, and the number was very small. This piece of jade rabbit is crouching, the whole instrument is carved with a rough knife method, and then the limbs are finely outlined, which is very in line with Song Yu's simple style of paying attention to the shape of the god, and then look at the upper layer of this jade, moist as fat, the color is natural, and this color happens to come down from the back of the rabbit, which is quite peculiar, it should be Song Yu is not fake. ”

Mo Ling listened carefully on the side, and said, "Big brother, you are making too fast progress, I'm afraid that after a while, I will lose to you." ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly, and whispered: "No matter how powerful I am, how can I compare to your hundreds of years of knowledge?" ”

Being praised by Zhao Zhuo like this, Mo Ling couldn't help but feel a little proud, indeed, although Zhao Zhuo has the ability to never forget, but compared to Mo Ling's hundreds of years of knowledge and the identification knowledge learned from previous masters, his knowledge and experience are not beyond Zhao Zhuo's ability in a short period of time.

"This is Song Yu?" Kong Xiangfeng was overjoyed and took it, touched it and said, "I bought this jade rabbit for five hundred yuan at the time, according to the stall owner, it is an ancestral thing hidden in the cellar of his hometown, it may be something from the Ming Dynasty, if it is Song Yu, how much can I know?" ”

Zhao Zhuo thought for a moment and said: "Although this is a small piece, it is relatively rare, and it is good in all aspects, if you get it to the auction house, it should not be a problem to auction it for about 450,000 yuan." ”

"450,000?" Kong Xiangfeng suddenly laughed, and then excitedly pointed to the room full of jade and said, "Actually, old man, I know that my eyesight is not good, so I don't dare to pick expensive things, these jade carvings, most of them are only a hundred yuan, only a few of them are more favorite, I only spent hundreds of thousands of prices, if this jade rabbit can be sold for more than 400,000 yuan, then I can be regarded as a big profit!" Little brother, thank you so much, if you hadn't pointed it out to me, I wouldn't have known the true value of this jade rabbit. ”

Speaking of this, he looked Zhao Zhuo up and down, only to feel that although this young man was young, his expression was calm, and he had an aura that was not similar to his age, so he speculated: "Little brother, you have such good eyesight, you can distinguish the real from the fake with a pinch, you must not be an ordinary person, should you be an appraiser, right?" ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled faintly: "It's just a junior appraiser." ”

Kong Xiangfeng exclaimed: "The junior appraiser is also an appraiser, I didn't expect my old man to know an appraiser, this collision is still a collision." ”

Hearing Kong Xiangfeng say this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help laughing, this old man's surname is quite optimistic, and playing antiques requires such a mentality, if he hears that the carefully selected ones are fakes and thunders, it will hurt his body.

At this time, Kong Xiangfeng suddenly said: "Little brother, I believe you can also see that my house is full of jade carvings related to animals, which are actually jade carvings related to the zodiac. ”

Zhao Zhuo nodded, this was already realized when he looked at it just now.

Kong Xiangfeng said: "I used to collect stamps, and my favorite is to collect stamps of the zodiac, but unfortunately there has always been a defect and there is no integrated set. Now that I'm older, I think it's good to be able to collect the twelve zodiac signs of this jade carving, and these jade carvings have different looks, each one is different, whether it's looking at it, or it's very interesting to play with it in your hand. It's a pity that my eyesight is not good, so I also have an uninvited invitation. ”

When Zhao Zhuo heard this, he guessed what he was going to say, so he smiled and said, "I know, if I have time another day, I will accompany Uncle Kong to the ghost market and help you palm your eyes." ”

Kong Xiangfeng suddenly became overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Don't talk about another day, how about making an appointment tonight?" ”

Zhao Zhuo thought that he would go to the ghost market with Ji Xiaofan to investigate the situation at night anyway, so he nodded.

Kong Xiangfeng continued: "I heard that it costs an appraisal fee to ask an appraiser to help with the appraisal, and if you want to help me pick something, then I am embarrassed not to pay the fee, or you can make a price." ”

"Uncle Kong, the price of helping to identify antiques is very cheap, just a hundred yuan, but it is more expensive to issue an appraisal qualification certificate. But since Uncle Kong and I already know each other, let's charge fifty-one pieces at half price. Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly.

Kong Xiangfeng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "How can this work, fifty-one is too little, just one hundred, otherwise I won't dare to invite you!" ”

"I'm not depreciating myself, there are too many fakes in the ghost market, and the chance of producing high-quality products is very small, so the price of the jade carvings I buy is generally not expensive, and I am embarrassed to charge more." Zhao Zhuo smiled, there are half-truths and half-truths in these words, there are indeed too many fakes in the ghost market, but if he picks them, he can also pick out some genuine products with good prices, but he doesn't want to make Kong Lao's money, so this is only half price.

In this way, Kong Xiangfeng felt that there was some truth, but he also insisted that if he really picked a high-quality product, he must pay more appraisal fees. So after agreeing on the time, Zhao Zhuo left the Kong family.

That night, Zhao Zhuo and Ji Xiaofan came to the ghost market again and met Kong Xiangfeng in front of the underground square.

Kong Xiangfeng had an excited expression, carrying a big bag in his hand and a thick stack of money in his arms, obviously wanting to return with a full load.

Seeing Zhao Zhuo arrive as promised, Kong Xiangfeng warmly shook hands with the two.

Ji Xiaofan first looked around for traces of jadeite for sale, while Zhao Zhuo took Kong Xiangfeng to see if there were suitable jade carvings at various stalls, and by the way, to see if there were any jade for Han Duoer.

The origin of the zodiac, the era of Emperor Shun began, has continued to this day, since ancient times there is no lack of antiques related to it, what ivory carving zodiac, nuclear carving zodiac, silver, gold, calligraphy and painting, etc., of course, there are also jade, there are scattered, there are complete sets.

The complete set of zodiac jade knick-knacks is only a few tens of thousands of yuan cheaply, but the slightly larger ones can reach a price of nearly one million.

The three zodiac jade carvings found in Kong Xiangfeng's hands are slightly larger than the ornaments, one of which is a jade rabbit for Song jade, and the other two jade dogs and jade tigers are from the Qing Dynasty.

According to Kong Xiangfeng's words, do not seek age, size, texture, just seek similarity in carving style.

So Zhao Zhuo tried his best to choose objects from the Qing Dynasty, but today's luck was obviously worse than yesterday, and he looked at a few stalls in a row, and there were few genuine products, and even less related to the zodiac.

I finally saw one, but it has already been bought.

There are many rules in this ghost market, once the buyer has it in his hand, others can only watch, and cannot bid on the side, unless people don't want it, then it is their turn, and even when buying and selling, use the comparison of fingers to indicate the price.

Coming to Lao Yu's stall, Lao Yu saw Zhao Zhuo and Ji Xiaofan coming yesterday, and recognized him at a glance, greeting him with a smile.

Lao Yu's stall has a lot of miscellaneous things, all of which are small gadgets, and some of them are still stained with clay, as if they have just been dug up.

"Big brother, Jade Snake."

Mo Ling's eyes were sharp, and after a few glances, he had a harvest, and Zhao Zhuo reached out and picked up the jade snake.

This jade carving is not big, at first glance it should be Liaoning Xiuyan jade, the color is light yellow, the feel is cold and lubricated, and then look at this jade snake, it is carved with bas-relief technology, the shape is smooth, and the carving should be the work of the Qing Dynasty.

Kong Xiangfeng watched carefully on the side, not daring to speak to disturb.

Just when Zhao Zhuo was seriously appraising, someone suddenly laughed in the back and said, "Yo, isn't this a mallet brother?" Why, there is also research on jade? ”

As soon as Zhao Zhuo heard this voice, he knew that it was Tong Feiyu who came. Looking back, it was Tong Feiyu who spoke, he was not alone today, and there were three men with him, all in their 20s, well-dressed.

Tong Feiyu had a playful smile on his face, his eyes swept over Kong Xiangfeng and Zhao Zhuo, and he said suddenly: "Yo, look at Brother Bang Mallet like this, shouldn't he be helping this old man do an appraisal?" ”

A young man with a middle-part hair in the company smiled and said, "Old man, don't be fooled, this kid is a mallet and doesn't understand anything." ”

Kong Xiangfeng didn't believe it, and said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Zhao is an appraiser." ”

"Appraiser?" Tong Feiyu and the three of them glanced at each other, and then burst into laughter.

After laughing, Tong Feiyu said: "It turns out that Brother Bang Mallet is still an appraiser, so I really underestimate you, I don't know what level it is?" It can't be beginner, right? ”

Zhao Zhuo said lightly: "Tong Shao, what level of appraiser I am doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right?" ”

Tong Feiyu laughed: "Wrong, it has a relationship, and it has a lot to do with it!" ”
