Zhang Chuang did not brag, since he became obsessed with antiques, he has received hundreds of objects, not to mention the amount of money, the real products have never broken through the double digits, most of them are old handicrafts, and it is true that he has paid more tuition fees and has a long eye.

Bronze Xiaoding played with it in his hand twice, Zhang Dashao showed a disappointed expression on his face, shook his head and said: "Modern imitations, objects that will not be more than a hundred years old, my brother has received two similar objects before, and it cost tens of thousands, and the specific number has long been forgotten, but it is certain that this is a modern imitation, in your words, it is an old copper pimple, I don't know how much you spent to buy it?" ”

Tang Qian's face showed a touch of joy, and she said loudly: "You said that the little copper tripod can be worth tens of thousands? Then we also made a lot of money, and my brother only spent 600 yuan to buy it back. ”

Zhang Chuang put down the bronze Xiaoding, reached out and touched the tip of his nose and said with a smile: "If I buy something, I will pay the tuition, and if this thing is sold, it will be dozens of yuan at most." ”

Ye Fei smiled disapprovingly: "Brother Chuang, I am confident that this object should not be as simple as it seems on the surface, let's wait for Master Zhou to come and take a serious look!" ”

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Mo Qingxi led a middle-aged man in a navy blue coat in, holding a two-foot square wooden tray with five cups of hot tea on it.

Mo Qingxi put down the tea tray and said with a smile: "Let everyone wait for a long time, this is Master Zhou, the chief appraiser of Qinggu Zhai." As she spoke, she gently handed a small note to Ye Fei, and said in a low voice: "This is the contact number of a good friend of mine, she has an idle property near Qinggu Street, I told her, I can rent a hardcover two-bedroom apartment to you, the rent is very cheap, five hundred and eighty yuan per month, quarterly rent, but there is an additional condition, you talk about it on the phone, let's identify the object first!" ”

Ye Fei put away the note and said with a grateful face: "Thank you, identify the object first." "Mo Qingxi's efficiency is surprisingly fast, but it is more of a surprise, and the monthly rent of 580 yuan is completely acceptable.

Zhang Chuang knew Master Zhou, he gently pushed the bronze Xiaoding in front of him with the back of his hand and said: "Old Zhou, in my opinion, this is a modern imitation, deliberately making old and coaxing things, you are an expert, see if I am right?" ”

Master Zhou nodded and smiled: "Zhang Shao's eyesight is good, whether it is an imitation or not." After speaking, he sat down and reached out to pick up the small copper tripod and looked at it, he looked very carefully, the small copper tripod slowly flipped in his hand for two weeks and stopped, reached out to put the object back, picked up a cup of tea to his mouth and took a sip gently.

Zhang Chuang seemed to be a little anxious, and urged: "Old Zhou, don't be busy drinking tea, you should first tell me what the situation of this object is." ”

Master Zhou smiled faintly and said, "You have just finished what you should say, I have nothing to say and can only drink tea." ”

Zhang Chuang smiled, his eyesight could get Master Zhou's affirmation, it was a face-saving thing, and after thinking about it, he turned his gaze to Ye Fei again, and strangely couldn't see the slightest expression of disappointment on his face.

Ye Fei stretched out his hand to pick up the bronze tripod, tapped it a few times with his fingers, and asked in a low voice: "Master Zhou, do you think this object will be like a watermelon, with a layer of cucumber skin on the outside, and an edible pot on the inside?" ”

Master Zhou frowned, a hint of displeasure appeared on his face, and he asked in a deep voice, "Young man, are you questioning my eyesight?" "He is second only to Mo Lao and the two senior seniors in the Binhai City antique appraisal industry, and he is also the number one person, just now he was in the next room to communicate with antique collectors from all over the country, but he didn't expect to be called by Mo Qingxi to identify such an old thing, he was very unhappy, Ye Fei's unintentional inquiry sounded a ridiculous question to him.

Ye Fei touched a nail, only to feel that his cheeks were hot for a while, and said in a low voice: "I don't mean to question your eyesight, I just feel that this object is not as simple as it seems on the surface......"

"Ridiculous!" Master Zhou snorted coldly and said: "Young man, the antique industry will only make you bankrupt by feeling, like this kind of goods at a glance There are more stalls on the ancient street, fake is fake, peel off the skin inside or fake, you like it can also be regarded as a priceless treasure, you can sleep with a worthless thing in your arms......"

Master Zhou opened his mouth sneering and did not hide the displeasure in his heart, Ye Fei lowered his head with a red face, but he still felt in his heart that the bronze tripod in his hand was not ordinary, and he believed in his feelings.

Zhang Chuang, who was sitting on the side, was upset, and suddenly stared at him and shouted: "Paralysis, there is no end, what's wrong with feelings?" Lao Tzu has always collected objects by feeling, burying my friends Zhang Chuang is to refute Lao Tzu's face, don't blame Lao Tzu for cutting you. ”

This guy's sudden madness was not entirely for Ye Fei's head, but Master Zhou's sneering and sneering that he could sit in the right seat, and it sounded very harsh horizontally and vertically, and finally couldn't help but go crazy on the spot by starting from the beginning.

Master Zhou's face was flushed after being scolded by Zhang Dashao, he stood up and turned his back to leave, when he just raised his feet and heard a low voice in his ear: "Brother Chuang, can you lend me the knife on your key?" ”

Ye Fei had already seen a bunch of keys hanging from Zhang Chuang's back waist, and a shiny small folding knife hanging from the key ring, this thing could come in handy now, hoping that the knife was sharp enough to peel off the surface of the copper tripod.

"Okay, I can give it to you, it's a token of friendship." Zhang Chuang's tense cheeks suddenly relaxed, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took off the keychain from his waist with his backhand and took the knife and handed it to Ye Fei, the whole process took less than ten seconds.

Ye Fei thanked him, opened the knife and slashed it on Xiao Tongding's left ear, poof! With a soft sound, a piece of green rusty copper fell in response, and the sharpness of the knife was beyond his expectations, fortunately the knife was measured just now, otherwise it was likely to hurt the objects inside.

"Huh! There's really something wrapped in it. The sharp-eyed Zhang Chuang exclaimed in surprise, and he saw that a mezzanine was exposed in the gap in Xiao Tongding's left ear that was cut by a knife, as if he had just cut his eyelids.

Mo Qingxi on the side frowned slightly, Zhang Dashao's sudden turn of face put her in an embarrassing dilemma, and then Ye Fei's move of cutting the copper tripod with a knife made her choose to wait and see, but she didn't expect a stalemate to take a subtle turn with a knife.

"Good knives!" Ye Fei secretly praised, the sharp tip of the knife was picked along the edge of the gap, slashed down slightly, and peeled off the green rust copper skin of the tripod body inch by inch, in just a few minutes, the rusty copper skin on the bronze small tripod was removed by half, leaving only a few hard-to-peel parts of the foot and the bottom of the tripod and the leather shell.

A small tripod with a simple style and smooth lines appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the body of the tripod has a layer of red and black shiny oxide film, the cloud and thunder pattern pattern is clearly recognizable, there is a row of simple inscriptions at the place where the tripod body is connected to the foot, it is not difficult for professionals to decipher, the only professional in the room has stared at the mouth and froze in place, and has become a big toad that has been choked by someone's armpit.
