Chapter 22: Eyesight
Li Xiaoning took a closer look at the porcelain and found that the blue and white carcass was heavy, the glaze was fat and blue-white, the bottle mouth had a layer of sauce glaze, double circle feet, and the bottom foot was not very delicate, with sticky sand, not smooth, and radial knife marks. The ornamentation on it has a strong sense of three-dimensionality, fine painting, distinct color separation levels, and appropriate shades.
Then put the bottle down, and found that there was a blue and white double-circle regular script "Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty" at the bottom, and the font was dignified and neat, strong and powerful.
The old man leaned next to Liu Qifeng's head and asked with a smile, "How is it?" The real Kangxi Dynasty official kiln blue and white porcelain, an old thing handed down from the ancestors. ”
Liu Qifeng didn't know anything about antiques, but he felt that this porcelain was very exquisite, and he couldn't tell whether it was true or false, so he looked at Li Xiaoning with his eyes.
Li Xiaoning's face was as calm as ever, but his heart was extremely excited, because this porcelain, he looked at it carefully twice, and did not find any suspicions, nine times out of ten it is indeed a genuine product, if you want to be further sure, you can only use high-tech instruments to measure, and it is impossible to distinguish it purely by eyesight.
Seeing Liu Qifeng looking at him, Li Xiaoning straightened up, a look of contempt appeared on his face, he snorted coldly in his nose, turned around, and no longer looked at the flat-bellied ribbon ear gourd bottle, but asked the shirtless young man, "Is there anything else?" ”
When the young man heard this, he immediately looked at the old man, and when the old man saw this, he hurriedly pulled his son behind him, and said angrily, "No." We are not second-class dealers, just such an old thing handed down from our ancestors. ”
With such clumsy acting skills, how could he escape Li Xiaoning's eyes, he was still hesitant about the porcelain, but now he was even more unsure, so he said to Liu Qifeng: "Mr. Liu, let's go?" ”
Liu Qifeng had already seen that this father and son were definitely not as simple as they appeared on the outside, maybe they were veterans who specialized in deceiving people, so he immediately chimed in: "It's time to go, there will be a meeting in the afternoon." ”
When the old man saw that they were going to have it, he quickly said, "Yes, there is another thing, but it is just ......."
Li Xiaoning stopped and said, "Just what? Something too fake, embarrassed to take it out? ”
The old man smiled and said, "What's the boss?" You are a good family, how dare you show you a fake thing, but this thing is not in good condition, and it is a little difficult to get your hands on. But there is also fate with the boss, if you don't dislike it, just take a look. ”
"Then let's see!" Li Xiaoning said quietly.
It was a three-foot-long banner, wrapped in a thin sheet of plastic sheeting. The old man spread it out on the bed and slowly unfolded it. The framed ayako is old, and the house leaks don't look like they were made. The paper is naturally stale and gray, not like tea dyed with water, nor like smoked, as if it is still framed.
The brushwork is round and subtle, there are bones in the flesh, and there is rigidity in softness. The inscription is "Sibai", and the inscription is "Dong Qichang Yin".
The old man and his son held down a corner, stared at Li Xiaoning tightly and said, "100% old things." It's just that after a long time, the quality is not very good, so it's good to find someone to reframe it. ”
Li Xiaoning didn't say a word, and after reading it, he stood up and said coldly: "Fake." ”
The old man hurriedly said: "Boss, don't talk nonsense, where is this paper, this ink, and this mounted back fake." ”
Liu Qifeng is also very strange, although he doesn't understand, but he also feels that this character is really like an old thing, and the calligraphy is also sloppy and natural, quaint and peaceful, he doesn't understand how Li Xiaoning can see that it is a fake.
"Mr. Liu, come and see." Li Xiaoning saw the confusion in Liu Qifeng's eyes, leaned over to the pair of words, pointed and said, "The level of fraud is very powerful now, and there is no longer a copy of the real thing." Find a piece of Song paper, for example, this is a table, two layers of glass, the real product is placed at the bottom, and the next layer is a mirror, the sunlight is reflected on the table, and the words at the bottom are reflected on the Song paper, and the thin charcoal strips are used to draw on the top, and the fake is exactly the same as the real one anyway. As for paper and framed distressing, it's even simpler.
It's just a seal -- you see, when you get to the seal, it's exposed, and the charcoal strip can't imitate the agility and spirit of the seal. It's too real like the current addition, it's too empty and can't come out of the charm, so I have to be virtual, according to the gourd and the pseudo-person's own brushwork. ”
Liu Qifeng approached to identify it carefully, and sure enough, when he saw the seal strokes, he couldn't help but nod again and again, and praised: "Xiao Li, your eyesight is really not covered, you can see it." ”
The father and son were also anxious when they heard this, and the son complained to his father and said: "Look at it, there was a person who bought it for 3,000 yuan that day, and I said to sell it, but you still don't let it be sold, but now it's good, it's a fake fucking thing, and it's a smashing hand, right?" ”
The old man was also unusually irritable, and said angrily: "You don't fucking speak, no one treats you as a dumb person." ”
Liu Qifeng was immediately disappointed when he saw this, and said to Li Xiaoning with interest: "Let's go!" ”
Li Xiaoning did not leave, but raised the index finger of his right hand, inadvertently pointed to the flat-bellied ribbon ear gourd bottle, and said, "Make a price." ”
The father and son thought that today's business was yellow again, but they didn't expect it to turn around, glanced at each other, and then the father raised a finger to me and said, "One hundred thousand." ”
"Let's go, Mr. Liu." Li Xiaoning walked half a step to the door, turned back sideways, with a disdainful expression on his face, and said slowly: "Is it still the real Kangxi official kiln?" You really dare to make an offer. ”
The old man smiled and said, "I'll open the price, and the counteroffer is yours." ”
Li Xiaoning sneered: "Five thousand." ”
"Five thousand?" The shirtless young man jumped up, "The price is more than that." ”
Li Xiaoning ignored him, looked at the old man and said, "How is it?" ”
The old man groaned for a moment and said, "Ten thousand? ”
Li Xiaoning shook his head.
The old man thought for a moment and then said, "Eight thousand? ”
Li Xiaoning still shook his head.
"Six thousand, no matter how little, it really won't work." The old man was deflated.
"It's not easy for you, either." Li Xiaoning sighed and said, "Six thousand, you wrap that piece of writing for me." ”
Seeing that the old man was still hesitating, Li Xiaoning followed up again, "How is it?" Okay, just pack. No, you'll find another buyer. ”
Father and son looked at each other again, as if they had made up their minds, and said, "Pack." Jump price. ”
Li Xiaoning instructed them to wrap their things, then took out their wallets and counted the hundred-yuan bills to them one by one.
The old man took the money, put his thumb to his mouth, spit it out, and counted the money again.
Li Xiaoning waited for him to count the money and asked, "That's right, right?" ”
The old man said, "That's right. ”
Li Xiaoning said again: "Is it fake money?" ”
The old man said, "The boss is joking. ”
Li Xiaoning said with a face: "Not kidding? You can still see clearly, when we get out of this door, neither of us will know each other. ”
The old man really took out the money, took pictures of them one by one in front of the light, smiled, and said, "Not bad." ”
Li Xiaoning went out with the wrapped cardboard box, opened the trunk of the vehicle, put the things firmly away, and then pressed it, and closed the tail box.
"Xiao Li, I really picked up a big leak this time!" Liu Qifeng waited for Li Xiaoning to finish his work before he said happily, "Now the blue and white porcelain market is just right, how can such a fine product of Kangxi official kiln cost millions, right?" ”
"If it's genuine, at least a million." Li Xiaoning said with a smile.
"What? Isn't this real? "Liu Qifeng was confused by me again.
"It's not certain yet, but nine times out of ten it's a fake." Li Xiaoning said with a smile.
"Then why are you still buying it?" Liu Qifeng's face was slightly unhappy, although six thousand yuan was not much, it was also quite disturbing to buy two fakes to go back.
"Let's go back again and make sure it's true or not." Li Xiaoning didn't explain, with a bamboo expression on his face.
Liu Qifeng asked strangely: "Didn't you say that you don't know each other when you go out?" Why do you want to go back? ”
Li Xiaoning smiled and said: "Please forgive the chief, I have to sell it for the time being, and I will naturally know when I go back." ”
Liu Qifeng had no choice but to follow Li Xiaoning back to the father and son's room again.
The father and son were celebrating, and when they saw them coming in again, their faces changed suddenly, and the bare-chested young man jumped up and said, "The things have been sold, and it is impossible to regret the money paid with one hand and the goods with the other." ”
Li Xiaoning raised his hand and pressed it and said, "I'm not going to regret it. I want to buy you one more thing. ”
"What's that? There's nothing left. The old man said hurriedly.
Li Xiaoning quietly glanced under the bed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be an identical blue and white gourd vase inside, right?" ”
The faces of the father and son changed, and the old man subconsciously tightened his pocket, and said in a deep voice: "No." ”
Li Xiaoning smiled and said, "Don't worry, the deal just now has been concluded, I said it, and I will never regret it." I just wanted to pay another thousand and buy the bottle under the bed. ”
At this time, even Liu Qifeng was confused, and the three of them looked at Li Xiaoning with puzzled eyes, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"What? Still reluctant to sell? Li Xiaoning said teasingly.
The father and son didn't say a word, looked at each other, bent down and dragged out another box from under the bed, opened it, and sure enough, there was a blue and white flat-bellied ribbon ear gourd bottle, exactly the same as the one just now.
