Chapter 10: A Challenge from Genius
All the appraisers also came back to their senses and stared at Zhao Zhuo one by one to see how he wanted to explain.
Zhao Zhuo smiled lightly: "I don't know if you've ever heard of Hedinghong?" ”
"Crane top red?" The young appraiser almost didn't laugh out loud, "You think this is in ancient times, Heding Hong, and I'm still arsenic." ”
Zhao Zhuo ignored his sarcasm, and said calmly: "The so-called crane top red refers to the head of the helmeted hornbill in the East Asian rainforest, and the head of the general hornbill family birds are hollow, only this kind of bird is solid, its top is red and yellow, like a bead, so it is called crane top red." ”
This crane top red solid and beautiful, high quality and beautiful color, the inner yellow and outer red bones can be used as carving materials after being cut down, and are hunted by the local people to make handicrafts, and enter our country in the Yuan Dynasty. After Zheng He went to the West, it became a tribute to many countries, and also stipulated a formal rebate price, each crane top can be exchanged for two catties of ivory, which shows that its price is expensive. The most widely used in the cup-making, belt-making, carving of small figures or landscape figure artworks, in order to enjoy the play, like the belt of the four court officials are made of crane top red. However, after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the country declined, and this thing gradually became rare, and when the Qing Dynasty implemented the sea ban policy in the early years, and cut off the trade with the origin, there was no such thing to enter, and now, it is even more rare and rare. ”
Having said this, Jing Yao couldn't help but bow her head slightly, and the appraisers with a little more knowledge also suddenly remembered that there was indeed an introduction to the knowledge of Heding Red in some books, but because Heding Red products are very rare, most of them are overseas, and it is not easy for the people and auction houses to see, and they have not touched the real thing, so it is naturally difficult to judge this thing.
But I heard Zhao Zhuo continue: "Look, this buckle is red on the outside and yellow on the inside, the texture is like ivory and more delicate, you can know it by touching it with your hands, and then look at this exquisite carving, the shape is wonderful, and it is full of luxury, so it can be seen that it must be genuine." ”
After Zhao Zhuo finished speaking, the young appraiser was speechless, and this speech was completely impeccable in terms of knowledge and practice.
In fact, as an appraiser, from the primary level to the third, second, first or even higher level, there will always be a situation of looking away, which is nothing, this is also a kind of psychological quality exercise, to be able to bear the fact of misjudgment.
It's just that everyone felt a little embarrassed when this young man from outside corrected the matter, and they glared at him fiercely, while the young appraiser was blushing, and there was still a little annoyance in his eyes.
The middle-aged man was very excited, and thanked Zhao Zhuo repeatedly, he wanted to say something, but when he looked at the people around him, he couldn't help it, and then left quickly.
Jing Yao beckoned to him at this time: "Okay, Zhao Zhuo, let's go to the lounge first." ”
Zhao Zhuo nodded, and was just about to leave, but he heard a constantly raising voice from the room shouting, "Zhao Zhuo? Your name is Zhao Zhuo? ”
Zhao Zhuo turned his head and saw a young man in his 20s hurriedly walking out of it, this man was wearing casual clothes, his hair was short, his appearance was square, and he looked quite energetic.
The young man was also stunned when he saw Jing Yao, and then he shifted his gaze to Zhao Zhuo, looked up and down, and suddenly laughed: "That's right, it must be you." ”
Zhao Zhuohu said suspiciously: "Are you ......?" ”
The young man smiled contemptuously, raised his chin slightly, and said, "My name is Fang Lu, let me ask you, did you make Tong Feiyu suffer in the ghost market last night?" ”
As soon as Zhao Zhuo heard his name, he guessed that this young man might be from the Fang family, and he was a little surprised to hear him ask this, he didn't expect what happened last night to spread so quickly.
Moreover, as soon as he finished speaking, the appraisers around him immediately began to whisper, obviously hearing about it. The young appraiser's face softened slightly, if this young man made Tong Feiyu suffer, then he didn't count this matter today Although he didn't know what Fang Lu wanted to do, but Zhao Zhuo didn't mean to hide this matter, the competition between the two appraisers was too normal in the antique world, even if the opponent was Tong Feiyu, so Zhao Zhuo said calmly: "It's not a loss, it's just a competition." ”
Seeing Zhao Zhuo's admission, the appraisers all sighed lightly, and for the first time they took a serious look at this unremarkable young man, and they didn't want to look at it, but they found that this young man had a unique momentum, even in the face of so many appraisers, this momentum was still not affected.
Jing Yao couldn't help but glance at Zhao Zhuo, she naturally knew who Tong Feiyu was, but she didn't expect Zhao Zhuo to have a dispute with him in the ghost market, but she also heard the clue from the words, but Zhao Zhuo was a person who could beat even a dignified second-level appraiser, and Tong Feiyu's genius aura was probably a lot dimmer in front of him, and it was natural to beat him.
Everyone was stunned, only Fang Lu laughed, slapped his thigh and said, "I really didn't expect that Tong Feiyu has today, and he is actually in the hands of an outsider." Speaking of this, he grinned and said playfully: "Zhao Zhuo, since I was a child, I have always regarded Tong Feiyu as my lifelong opponent, and the competition between the two of us has never stopped, nor has I ever divided the winner or loser." But I didn't expect that he would lose to a mere junior appraiser, that is to say, if I beat you, wouldn't it be equivalent to defeating Tong Feiyu? ”
Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly: "Fang Shao, Tong Shao and I are just learning from each other, there is nothing like winning or losing." ”
Fang Lu smiled proudly, waved his hand wantonly and said, "I know what you mean, even if you have the name of self-knowledge, you are just lucky to win Tong Fei Yu." However, winning is winning, losing is losing, since you have a competition with Tong Feiyu, our side will naturally not let go of this opportunity in vain, and you can't refuse, because this is a battle to bet on the honor of the appraiser! ”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhuo understood the meaning of coming to Fang Lu to find himself, it turned out that he wanted to grow a long face in front of Tong Yuyu by defeating himself, but since it was a battle to gamble on the honor of the appraiser, how could he lose here?
Because he is no longer a person, he is carrying the glory of the Huaihai City Appraiser Branch.
Moreover, Zhao Zhuo also understood that looking at Fang Lu's posture, if he didn't get along with him, he probably wouldn't give up, let alone go to the data room to check the information cleanly.
Jing Yao also saw the development of the situation, and whispered: "What should I do, do you want to compare with him?" ”
"Do I still have the right to refuse?" Zhao Zhuo smiled bitterly and said towards Fang Lu: "Since Fang Shao wants to come and learn from him, then I will accompany him to the end." ”
"Yo, it's quite guts, I heard that the rules of last night's game were formulated by you, and I don't feel embarrassed, it's up to you to decide, in this way, I can win to convince Tong Feiyu!" Fang Lu said confidently.
Seeing that the two of them wanted to divide the appraisal, and Zhao Zhuo was the one who made Tong Feiyu suffer last night, and he was also a junior appraiser, everyone couldn't help but be interested.
Of course, in everyone's hearts, they all believe that Fang Lu will win, and there is only one reason, because Fang Lu is also a genius, and he will never be worse than Tong Feiyu's eyesight, and more importantly, no one believes that Zhao Zhuo is better than Tong Feiyu with his true strength.
Seeing that he wanted to let himself make the rules, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help laughing, and Mo Ling, who was on the side, also giggled, maybe in his opinion, he was an insignificant opponent who could be trampled on at any time, but he didn't know that such a sentence was equivalent to reducing his chances of winning to the lowest point.
Zhao Zhuo smiled and asked, "What kind of appraiser is that Fang Shao?" ”
Fang Lu said with a little pride: "I am also an appraiser with four third-level appraiser qualifications, namely calligraphy and painting, jade, porcelain and bronze, of course, especially in porcelain, I will be a second-level porcelain appraiser this time next year." ”
With the qualifications of four third-level appraisers, he does have the conditions to be proud, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but be secretly surprised, although this way is a bit arrogant, but the strength must be there, it seems that he and Tong Feiyu should be the most outstanding young generation of the Tong Fang family.
Zhao Zhuo looked into the room and found that there were several porcelains on a table, and there were several wooden boxes under the table, which were also inside, so he asked Mo Lingfei to take a look, and after knowing that there were many genuine products, his heart moved, and he asked, "Have those porcelains been identified?" ”
A young appraiser replied: "It was sent by someone this morning for identification, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”
Zhao Zhuo said: "Then Fang Shao shouldn't know the authenticity of those porcelains?" ”
"Of course." Fang Lu said.
Zhao Zhuo groaned slightly and said, "Fang Shao, then let's play a game of blind man touching elephants." ”
"A blind man touching an elephant?" Everyone was confused.
Jing Yao was also a little puzzled, and didn't know what kind of rules Zhao Zhuo was going to come up with.
But I listened to Zhao Zhuo talk eloquently: "Identification of porcelain, there are generally six looks, one of the shapes, according to different dynasties and different shapes to make judgments, the second look at the fetal quality, different ages of porcelain in the fetal quality is different, the third look at the ornamentation, the decoration of works in different eras is also distinctive. Fourth, look at the style, some ancient porcelain is printed at the bottom of the style, each dynasty has a different way of writing, from the style can also identify the age and value of an ancient porcelain. The fifth look at the process, different processes will determine different values, even authenticity, each dynasty also has different levels of craftsmanship and rules, the sixth is the feel, the real experienced appraiser just by virtue of the feeling of porcelain on the hand can estimate its authenticity and value of the ** not far from ten. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled slightly, "Then let's use those porcelain that have not yet been identified to try the feel." ”
