The next time I found out that Yu Huang was not because of his good eyesight, it was because he had that special ability that no one else had. But this time it was different, this time Liu Yuhao clearly knew the situation of that Fang Yan. Liu Yuhao told himself that no matter who the other party was, he would never tell him that he had a special ability, and this matter could only rot in his stomach forever. ”

"Brother Hao, tell me what you know about Duanyan." Master Wang said with a smile.

You always commanded, dare not obey your orders, Liu Yuhao smiled humbly: "I'll tell you a story first." ”

"This is said to say, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a person surnamed Liang who went to Beijing to take the exam, and on the day of the exam, it snowed heavily in the capital, and it was white, and the test taker was helpless by this sudden bad weather, because the ink that was ground quickly became icy and could not be written, but this person from Duanzhou used the family heirloom Duanyan to grind the ink, and the ink did not freeze, but when he used up the ink method and wanted to dig out some water to grind the ink, he found that the water in the kettle had formed ice, and the beam was very disappointed, rubbing his hands and muttering to Duanyan:" Duanyanhe, people say that you are one of the four treasures of the house, where is your treasure now? Who knew that as soon as the words fell, a piece of water vapor appeared in the inkstone, and Liang Juren seemed to be desperate to survive, desperately "heh" to the inkstone, and the inkstone helped him finish the test paper, so that he was uniquely admitted to the Jinshi. The story of the "breath into ink" of the back end of the inkstone and the good story of "the middle of winter is extremely cold, his inkstone is often icy, and the water and rock are unique" began to spread, and the end of the inkstone is also famous at home and abroad, and the "tribute inkstone" and "gift inkstone" are also popular. ”

This story was told by everyone present, and everyone present listened to it with relish, and He Xudong even listened to it, and he raised Erlang's legs and looked at Liu Yuhao with a smile. Everyone seems to have forgotten that they are here to buy things today, and why they set up a scene for storytelling. Second Master Zhong wanted to exert his power, but when he glanced at He Xudong's appearance, he sat on the side with a black face and did not squeak.

Liu Yuhao took a sip of water unhurriedly, and then said: "Duan inkstone wins with stone, overwhelms the group of inkstones, its texture is pure, moisturized, delicate, like children's skin, can make the ink not damaged." However, not all Duanyan stones have these characteristics, only the "old pit", "Mazi pit" and "pit rock" of Xijiang Antelope Gorge Axe Ke Mountain have the historical call "Duanxi famous inkstone", the value is also very high, and the old pit was also called "Huang Pit". ”

This sentence is a small ploy played by Liu Yuhao, and the Duan Yan of the few looks unpretentious from the performance, but Liu Yuhao knows that it is a good Duan Yan, and there is exactly the same as this side in Qi Lao's bookcase, such a Duan Yan Liu Yuhao has played with it countless times, and the stone belongs to the blue and white products. Blue and white are tiny blue-blue spots that grow naturally in inkstones, and they can only be revealed when they are wet. Of course, wet water cannot be used on this occasion, and it can only be judged by experience.

The blue and white are followed by the fine, the living, the sinking, the coarse, the withered, and the dewed. And those who are like fine dust covering the mirror and ink and wet paper are superb. The texture of the blue and white inkstone is delicate, delicate and moisturizing. Liu Yuhao didn't say anything specifically, but he also wanted to help Qin Wei take down this old object first.

"Hey, I said buddy, you talked about it for a long time, so how is this Fang Yan performing?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, the answer, in fact, I just said it, maybe this friend didn't notice the story I just told." Liu Yuhao replied with a smile.

For Liu Yuhao's answer, two people couldn't help but nod appreciatively. One is Master Wang, and the other is He Xudong. Liu Yuhao answered this question really cleverly. You said it was true, and when he was going to bargain, he created an extra opponent for Qin Weixian; You said it was fake, that was to directly offend Zhong Erye to death. Besides, it's obviously an open-door object, and if you insist that it's fake, it doesn't make sense.

The person who asked the question said angrily: "If I can tell the truth by listening to a story, I don't need to spend money on a master to help me." "This stupid thing is really missing a string, the answer didn't come out, and he didn't say a word, offended the palm master he came, and he didn't want to think about it, if you offended someone, that person can still do his best to help you.

As soon as this sentence came out, many people laughed. Next to the missing string sat a man of fifty strokes, holding back a swollen purple face, and not saying a word. Liu Yuhao estimated that the palm master who was missing a string should have it. I had no choice but to nod apologetically to the master.

It is really not wrong to say that the person lacks a string, in fact, in Liu Yuhao's story just now, there is indeed a simple way to identify the authenticity, but it cannot be used as the main basis for judgment, and it cannot be said directly on this occasion, so Liu Yuhao had to choose to answer him like that. As for whether he has the surname of enlightenment, it depends on his creation.

Anyway, Liu Yuhao found out that He Xudong was a very enlightened person. After Liu Yuhao finished telling the story, in the corner of his eye, Liu Yuhao saw that He Xudong was sitting very close to the inkstone, and after listening to the story, He Xudong smiled slightly, as if he understood something, and sighed at the inkstone with his mouth. Of course, among the people present, I am afraid that only He Xudong dared to do that.

Of course, it's okay not to be angry. There are two ways to do this. One is to press and hold the inkstone with your finger for 1 to 2 seconds, if it is the end of the inkstone, there will be finger marks formed by "water vapor"; The second is to take a breath to the inkstone, if it is an inkstone, the inkstone will condense a thin layer of water droplets, with a finger to see the more condensed water, the better the quality. Both points are related to the unique fine texture of the inkstone, which is easy to gather water vapor.

Master Wang and Liu Yuhao are naturally different, Liu Yuhao used his special ability to distinguish the authenticity first, and then used his eyesight to see it. For experienced palm-eye masters like Master Wang, they usually distinguish by observing the color of the inkstone, whether the stone is rounded, the feeling of the hand, the sound of tapping, the use of finger pressing and breathing, and other comprehensive means, combined with their own years of experience. That's not the slightest bit of falsehood, it's that extraordinary eyesight. After all, the inkstones that come out of different old pits in different years are different, and the subordinates don't have any real work, so wait for the eyes.

"Alright, it's not too early, now we're going to start with this inkstone. The reserve price is 8,000 and the price is 1,000 each time, and you can now. ”

Today is an unlucky day for Liuzi, and I don't know if I didn't read the yellow calendar when I went out. Anyway, since Liu Yuhao removed a piece of jade from the bottom of the purple clay pot, Liuzi's face has not grown very well, a gray and yellow face, wrinkled like a big-leaved oak tree, the bark is horizontal and full of ditches. Coupled with the appearance of being stupid all the time, it is like the long-term worker who can never eat enough in Zhou Papi's family.

Guys, look at me, I see you have never had anyone to bid first. In the antique miscellaneous, the appreciation and judgment of inkstone is really very important, which is not something that ordinary people can do. Many people are very knowledgeable in porcelain and jade, or they know how to paint, calligraphy, or ancient furniture and coins, but those who are proficient in miscellaneous items are indeed only a minority in the industry.

Over the years, due to the rising price of inkstone, more and more counterfeits have been made. This is especially true of the inkstone, you must not only understand the stone quality of the inkstone, but also understand the carving; It is also necessary to understand whether the personal style of the inscription author (calligraphy and painting, character knowledge, etc.) and the style of the times are consistent with the inscription; The second is to see whether the carving technique and the knife marks are consistent with the author's artistic techniques and the times, and whether they will be added later; Again, it is to see whether the part where the inscription is located is generous and decent; If there is a gift in the inscription, then whether the title of the inscription matches can also be used as a reference when identifying. For example, in the early Qing Dynasty, there were many titles such as Mr. So-and-so, Mr. Dao; From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, he was called a certain brother and a certain mountain humane; After the founding of the People's Republic of China until the 80s, the title of comrade was used as a comrade, and now the title of Mr. is prevalent again. Of course, we must also pay attention to the authenticity of the seal of the inscriber. There is an ancient inkstone, there is Chen Mansheng's inscription, Chen is the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Zhejiang school of calligraphy and painting, seal carving masters, good use of the knife method, engraving style, vigorous and simple, if the inscription Chen Mansheng left the seal used is not the knife method, the style is also very different from the description, it should be judged as the inscription. There are often many inscriptions in the ancient inkstones with inscriptions that we see, commonly known as "post-addition". Some good inkstones have added inscriptions, but they have added snakes and reduced the original value, we must know. Of course, the name of the person who engraved the real inscription is big, which is undoubtedly the icing on the cake, and the value will rise significantly. It is also necessary to understand the decoration of the inkstone, or there are many things to do with the new inkstone with the old box.

These are not ordinary deep efforts for a player. An old man with a deep foundation like Master Wang didn't dare to say that he hadn't bothered to look at this

Qin Weixian didn't move. He wanted to see everyone's reaction, if the price increase was too high, of course Qin Weixian would not consider it. I'm also afraid that someone will chase one after I bid, and it will be self-defeating if I don't do it well.

"Nine thousand, I will give nine thousand"

A skinny monkey-like man couldn't help but raise the sign in his hand first.

"I'll give 10,000"

Someone is chasing the price again, the world is so strange, no one wants things to put on the place, everyone is too lazy to take a look, even if it stinks, some people follow suit.

"I'll give 40,000" This voice, Liu Yuhao could hear that it was Qin Weixian's Qin Fat Man, who finished the price and raised the price, and raised his huge head, Liu Yuhao, who provoked Liu Yuhao, almost spewed out with laughter in his mouth.

"Okay, friend No. 017 bids 40,000, is there a friend who is higher than 40,000?" Liuzi was excited.

Master Wang's estimate of the inkstone was 80,000 yuan, and Qin Weixian also agreed with this price in his heart, so he directly offered half of the high price to try everyone's reaction.

The bidding at the auction is actually very knowledgeable. Auction bidders should calmly observe the bidding situation in the auction hall, stabilize their bidding mentality, and keep the psychological price. When bidding, you can generally bid in turn according to the price increase, but when the price is close to the psychological price, you should be cautious to avoid being affected by the bidding atmosphere of the auction hall and blindly exceeding the limit of the psychological price. If the atmosphere in the auction room is calm, bidders should not be in a hurry to bid, and later they can unexpectedly skip the mark-up and raise the bid all at once, putting on a posture of being determined to win. After a few rounds of bidding, it is common to scare off some inexperienced bidders and make the bid successful.

I don't know if Qin Weixian's bid was higher than everyone's psychological price, or his posture, anyway, no one bid for two minutes.

The six sons on the side of the table were sweating anxiously, and they didn't know what the six sons were sweating all day long, so much sweat when they were in a hurry, and they were so afraid of it, "Friend 017 bid 40,000 yuan, and it is higher than friend 017," Liuzi wiped the sweat beads on his head, and wanted to raise the price a little higher.

"40,000 dollars for the first time"

"Forty thousand for the second time"

"Friends, we are now shooting a Duan inkstone, its shape is beautiful, simple and generous, it is a rare boutique in the Duan inkstone, and now the 017 friend bids 40,000 yuan, is it higher than 40,000 yuan?" Rokuko has been bewitching with what he thinks is a seductive bull voice.

"I'll pay 50,000 yuan" At this time, someone made a bid.

"Okay, this friend 04 bid 50,000 yuan, is there anything higher than 50,000?" I don't know what stimulated the sixth son, he became more and more excited, his face was full of red light, and his voice changed his tone, but Liu Yuhao and Qin Weixian were not interested, knowing this, what they were interested in was that Fang Duanyan.

"Seventy thousand, I will pay seventy thousand," Qin Wei first asked again.

Finally saw the small hammer in Liuzi's hand fall and shouted out a voice, Qin Weixian finally took the end with 70,000 yuan. Qin Fatzi felt a little that Liuzi's voice would become beautiful and beautiful. 70,000 pieces of inkstone is also worth the price.
