Chapter 20 Compare eyesight, who is afraid of whom
Hearing Fang Lu's proposal to compete for his eyesight, Zhao Zhuo smiled faintly, and also heard his disbelief from his words, thinking that the last time he won the competition was because he had exercised his hand.
However, the soldiers will block, the water will flood, no matter what rules he has, even if this is the Longtan Tiger's Den, let Cheng Shao bow his head and admit his mistakes!
Fang Lu said to Manager Qiu, "Didn't the third uncle just buy a bunch of goods tonight?" ”
Manager Qiu replied; "Yes, the owner of the goods just sent the things, and it is estimated that they are being identified, but ......"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Zhao Zhuo, a little vigilant.
Fang Lu seemed to understand what he meant, and sneered: "Isn't our Fang family a paper tiger?" Look at your cautious look. ”
After that, he said to Zhao Zhuo: "Brother Zhao, let's come together." ”
On the second floor, there are box boxes of the bar on both sides, which are much cleaner than the first floor, and after going to the third floor, the two sides of the aisle appear to be very quiet, and the top lights are bright, changing the dim and ambiguous atmosphere below.
Manager Qiu came to a door, knocked hard, cleared his throat and said, "Boss." ”
An unhappy middle-aged male voice immediately came from inside: "Didn't I tell me that you are not allowed to disturb anything!" ”
Fang Lu spoke: "Third uncle, it's me." ”
"Xiaolu, what's the matter?" The middle-aged man's tone softened a little.
Fang Lu said: "I heard that the third uncle, you just bought a batch of goods, and a friend and I happened to compare eyesight, so I want to borrow your goods from the third uncle." ”
"Oh, the person who can test your eyesight with Xiaolu shouldn't be the young master of the Tong family, right?" The middle-aged man laughed.
Fang Lu smiled lightly: "Of course not, but this person made Tong Feiyu lose the battle in the black market." ”
As soon as these words fell, with two sounds of "click, click", the heavy iron door was opened, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man is tall, wearing a crisp suit, and his appearance is quite similar to Fang Lu, but he looks more resolute.
The middle-aged man saw Zhao Zhuo at a glance, looked him up and down, and then laughed and said: "The young master of the Tong family lost the game in the ghost market, but the news has already reached my ears, I didn't expect it to be you, my name is Fang Youming, and I am the third uncle of Xiaolu." ”
"Hello Mr. Fang." Zhao Zhuo stretched out his hand to shake him, and then walked in.
As soon as I entered, I found that there were several boxes of antiques in the room, and some fillers were filled between the antiques to prevent them from being damaged during transportation.
On the table, there were also some washed antiques, porcelain, jade, clay pots, and the like, more than a dozen pieces, and a middle-aged man with a serious expression was appraising one of them.
As soon as he saw these antiques, Zhao Zhuo's brows frowned slightly, he had heard from Bai Ming a long time ago, the Fang family was low-key, and they had connections in both black and white, and now it seemed to be true.
These antiques are stained with mud one by one, and you can smell a strong earthy smell when you smell it with your nose, which should have just been unearthed, and someone must have dug it up after robbing the tomb.
As if seeing Zhao Zhuo's thoughts, Fang Youming smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao, you don't have to worry, these things are indeed just unearthed, however, our Fang family doesn't do such things as tomb robbing, these things are just bought from them." If I had done it too late, it would have been lost abroad. ”
Zhao Zhuo also knows that once the stolen cultural relics are unearthed, in addition to some of them being bought by local antique dealers, some of them are all the way to foreign countries through special sales channels, which is also one of the reasons for the serious loss of cultural relics today.
Although there is no way to tell whether what Fang Youming said is true or false, now is not the time to think about it.
At this time, Fang Youming pointed to the appraiser who was being appraised and introduced: "This is my good brother, Yao Wensheng, the second-level appraiser of Shenlong Appraisal Company. ”
Yao Wensheng bowed his head slightly, as if he said hello, his face seemed to be sculpted, and he did not smile.
Fang Youming sat on the sofa and asked with a smile: "So, how do you want to compare your eyesight?" ”
Fang Lu said to Zhao Zhuo: "These goods all came in today, and it is the first time I have seen it now, and it is fair for you and me to use the porcelain in these antiques to identify, right?" ”
Zhao Zhuo nodded slightly, and Fang Lu continued: "Then we will take 12 pieces of porcelain here for identification, last time in the appraiser branch, Brother Zhao, you also talked about six looks, one looks at the shape, two looks at the fetal quality, three looks at the decoration, four looks at the style, five looks at the process, and six looks at the feel." Today, let's use our hands to see it. ”
"Oh, just with your eyes?" Fang Youming smiled slightly, Yao Wensheng's expression did not change at all, but there was a trace of disdain in his eyes, obviously thinking that this was a child's game.
Zhao Zhuo squinted slightly, indeed, to identify the authenticity of porcelain, in addition to the excellent feel, there is also a pair of eyes, excellent eyesight can easily distinguish the authenticity of porcelain, however, it is also easy to be confused, especially the judgment of the fetal quality and the texture of the glaze is also prone to errors.
However, an appraiser who is truly experienced and has a pair of sharp eyes can indeed reach the level of being able to distinguish with just his eyesight.
Fang Youming put all the antiques on the table except for porcelain on the ground, and then asked Manager Qiu to take a few of the antiques in the box to wash them and put them away, and said with a smile: "Then use these 12 pieces, and Brother Yao and I will be the referees to ensure fairness." ”
Zhao Zhuo looked at the table, each of the 12 pieces of porcelain was different, and some of them had some gaps, but most of them looked like they were from the Qing Dynasty.
Fang Lu said: "The rules of the competition are very simple, first you and I judge the same piece of porcelain, draw conclusions and write them on paper, and then this appraiser will judge, whoever has a greater winning rate will be the winner!" ”
Zhao Zhuo thought for a while and said with a smile: "Since these things have just been unearthed, it stands to reason that the probability of genuine products will be much higher, and I also believe that Mr. Fang and Mr. Yao's eyesight will not be deceived by simple fakes, so how about we add a small rule to this eyesight appraisal?" ”
"What little rule?" Fang Lu asked with a frown.
Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly and said: "It's very simple, break the generation, and you have to break the generation as carefully as possible." ”
When Fang Lu heard this, he smiled and said: "No problem, if you break the generation, you will break the generation!" ”
Zhao Zhuo then said: "Then I have to make this bet clear in front of Mr. Fang, if I win, Cheng Shao must go with me to apologize to Uncle Kong, if I lose, this matter will be as if it never happened." ”
At this time, Fang Youming also heard the whole story from Manager Qiu, so he said: "Xiao Zhao, don't worry, our Fang family has always been true to his word, since he promised you, he will never regret it, as long as you win the road, then Xiao Cheng, this kid will be disposed of by you." ”
Having said that, Cheng Shao didn't worry at all on his face, but if he knew that Zhao Zhuo had already won the Fang Lu game, he didn't know what his expression would be.
Hearing Fang Youming's personal promise, Zhao Zhuo said; "Then let's get started."
So, Manager Qiu brought a small square table and placed the first identified porcelain on it, which was a pastel open-light figure bottle.
Because it had been identified by Yao Wensheng a long time ago, Fang Youming naturally knew very well whether this thing was true or false.
In fact, just as Zhao Zhuo said, the possibility of the authenticity of the unearthed things is very large, so in terms of psychological feeling, it is easy to be judged as genuine, but after adding the generation, and it is a very fine generation, it is more difficult to judge.
If you want to break the dynasty, that is, to judge the age of antiques, you must have a deep understanding of the style of the era in which it is located, the style of the utensils, and the fine generation, it is necessary to determine a certain dynasty and a certain era, such as Qing Dynasty items, it is necessary to determine the era of a certain emperor of the Qing Dynasty, because porcelain and other antiques are different, almost every dynasty and every emperor Yanjing has developed, especially the Qing Dynasty, regardless of the type, ornamentation, etc., there are always changes, so it sounds simple, but it takes a lot of knowledge to break the dynasty.
Therefore, as soon as he heard that he was going to break to a very fine age, Yao Wensheng's disdainful expression on his face became even thicker, although he also knew a lot about the strength of Fang Lu, but with this eyesight, first of all, there were more possible surnames that could be misjudged, and it was necessary to break the dynasty, which increased the difficulty a lot.
And this young man, who is said to be better than Tong Feiyu, looks ordinary, and he actually opens his mouth.
However, when you think about it, this eyesight competition has already begun.
Fang Lu asked for a small magnifying glass, through which he squinted to observe the condition of the fetus, because he could not touch it with his hands, so in order to determine the authenticity, he had to use some tools instead of feel.
Compared with Fang Lu's caution, Zhao Zhuo seemed to be very calm, he touched his chin with one hand and supported his elbow with the other, just watching quietly.
To determine the authenticity of porcelain, each step of these six looks is indispensable.
First of all, look at its shape, this pastel Kaiguang character bottle is a mouth, neck, bulging belly of the melon ridge flat bottle, the whole vessel is dignified and generous, but also a very typical Qing Dynasty porcelain shape, standard pavilion ornaments, just from the shape of the vessel, quite smooth and natural, generous and decent, from here you can preliminarily judge that it is a Qing vessel.
The second look at its fetal quality, the so-called fetal quality, refers to the unglazed porcelain bone, which has the thickness of the difference, such as the common porcelain clay made of porcelain fetus, with mud pounding water, take its unsunken fine powder and make it for the slurry tire, the coarse for the tile tire, the bulky and simple for the stone tire, the fetus is called the iron tire.
Because the raw materials used in porcelain making in various regions and periods - porcelain clay or porcelain clay are different, and the origin is different, the ingredients contained in it are also different, so the fired porcelain is different in the fetal quality, glaze color, and painting characteristics.
