Yan Liqiang was originally full of awe of this bronze tripod, and even when he held it up, he was very cautious. For fear that if one is not careful, the bronze tripod will be destroyed. But after listening to Yu Lifei's introduction, he put his mind at ease and immediately put it into action.

Yan Liqiang scratched with his fingernails and licked the rust with his tongue. If there is alkali now, he is afraid that he will immediately boil some boiling water and use alkaline water to brush the rust on this bronze object. Being able to learn and use it now and personally identify a bronze tripod made him more excited than when he negotiated a project.

"Old Wu, why did you see a piece of rust on this?" Yan Liqiang suddenly asked in surprise. Just now he just scratched lightly on the ding with his fingernails, but he didn't expect that a small piece of rust had fallen off.

But Yan Liqiang soon understood that this bronze tripod was probably fake. Because of the rust fell off a piece, he saw that the inside was a yellow, clear copper. If this is really the tripod of the Warring States period, it should be red. Besides, if it is really a tripod of the Warring States period, even if it is smashed with a hammer, the rust on it may not fall off.

Hearing Yan Liqiang's words, Kang Weihao's face changed. Yesterday's red reed goose pattern in the glaze made him lose face. I'm also a private collector anyway, but I came to the museum with a fake to donate. If this spreads, it won't be laughed out of by peers.

He knew that Yan Liqiang was not very knowledgeable about antiques. But now even Yan Liqiang can identify that this bronze tripod is fake, and his face is really dull. No wonder Wu Wengu just kept observing his bronze tripod, but did not draw conclusions. It turned out that I wanted to use it as a teaching material, so that Yu Lifei could practice it.

"Xiao Yan, this may be your first time appraising bronzes, or it may be the first time you appraise antiques, right?" Wu Wengu walked over and took a look. Yan Liqiang is right, this bronze is indeed fake. After Yan Liqiang brushed off the piece of rust, the inside revealed a brass color.

"I'm just learning and selling, and besides, identifying bronzes. You don't need any professional knowledge, no tools or experience, just your tongue and fingernails. Yan Liqiang smiled proudly. In the past, when he appraised antiques, he was looking for someone else. I didn't expect that I could also identify antiques, and the identification was still bronze.

"It seems simple, but there is no one to guide you, and I am afraid that some people will never know. And your appraisal this time is right, which is very commemorative. Wu Wengu said with a smile.

"This is true," Yan Liqiang said happily. He never imagined that he would be able to identify antiques, and he would do it right. Seeing Kang Weihao's frustration, Yan Liqiang said: "Lao Kang, is this good, this Ding is fake anyway, or leave it to me?" I paid 10,000 yuan. ”

"I'm sorry Mr. Yan, this bronze tripod is also very meaningful to me." Kang Weihao shook his head firmly. How could he leave his laughing stock to someone else?

Although Yan Liqiang's price was already very high, he didn't dare to be tempted. In the future, if Yan Liqiang introduces himself to others, wouldn't he have to tell himself about the first fake he identified? Although he is not well-known in the provincial capital. But the circle of antiques is not big, and it will be passed back one day.

"In fact, in addition to the methods mentioned by Li Fei, there are several simple methods for bronze ware. For example, smell. You can wipe it with your hands or skin on the brass. Then put it under the nostrils and smell it. If it's true, it certainly won't smell anything. Hundreds of thousands of years of precipitation, no matter how you wipe it. It doesn't smell bad. But if it's fake, it will smell of copper. It's also very simple and effective. Wu Wengu said with a smile.

"I smell it, it doesn't seem to smell." Yan Liqiang's fingers rubbed the bronze utensils, put them under his nose and smelled them, but there didn't seem to be the smell of copper that Wu Wengu said.

"If the counterfeiter is adulterated with mercury, this method will not work. But you can listen to their percussion, the bronze is not loud and crisp, but if it is a new bronze, there will be a kind of cloudiness and coaxing. As long as you hear the sound of the real bronze, and then listen to the fake, the truth and the false. Wu Wengu said again.

"Old Wu, I haven't even seen much of the fake, how can I see anything real. Why don't you borrow a few bronzes from the museum and knock them on for us? Yan Liqiang said.

"If you haven't heard of it, can't you hear this first? Xiao Yan, I heard that last night, Li Fei helped you find a good thing? Is it the monk's hat pot of Lang Pavilion? Wu Wengu asked. As soon as he heard Kang Weihao's introduction, he also wanted to see it, and if it was true, he really wanted the museum to collect it.

"How can my white-glazed monk's hat pot enter Wu Lao's eyes?" Yan Liqiang was suddenly a little nervous, he was most afraid that Wu Wengu would open up to him. If anyone else spoke, he probably didn't have to think about it, and he would immediately excuse himself. But Wu Wengu is different, he is a person he respects very much.

"Don't be so nervous, good things are meant to be shared. If it is indeed something from the period of Yongzheng's private residence, it should be no problem for the museum to borrow it for a few months to exhibit, right? Besides, I can also help you get the word out. Wu Wengu said with a smile. Yu Lifei's vision, he can still trust it.

"If it's just for a temporary loan, that's fine." Yan Liqiang thought about it, if he had a collection in the museum, it would really be a face-saving thing. Later, he accompanied his friends to visit the museum, and when he saw this monk's hat pot, he could confidently say that it was his own thing.

"Elder Wu, do you think there are any other formalities to be done? I'm going back in the morning. Kang Weihao was very embarrassed, he brought four antiques that he thought were treasures to the museum, but he didn't expect that two of them were fakes. And the red reed goose pattern in the glaze was not left in the museum because of the wrong age, which made him very frustrated.

"Mr. Kang, your glaze red three-fruit pattern high-foot bowl should be stored in our museum for the time being." Wu Wengu said that it is actually normal for such a situation to occur in donations. Sometimes, some people bring ten antiques, and the museum won't accept one in the end.

"Mr. Kang, let's leave after dinner." Yu Lifei looked at the time, it was already past eleven o'clock, and it was about to be dinner.

"Forget it, I'd better hurry back early." Kang Weihao still wants to eat, and when he arrives at the dinner table, he must talk about antiques again. When he came to the provincial capital this time, it can be said that he lost face, why did he want to eat with his antique peers?

"Old Wu, I'll send Mr. Kang." Yu Lifei said.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu." Kang Weihao said gratefully that he now knows that Yu Lifei is using his own private car to pick him up. And Yu Lifei also opened an antique shop, which can be regarded as a peer.

"Mr. Kang, thank you for your contribution to the Tanzhou Museum." Wu Wengu said gratefully that although only one of Kang Weihao's antiques remained, his sincerity was full.

"Lifei, I'll go to your store to see things later, you have to come back early." Yan Liqiang said that he knew that Yu Lifei now had a driver, and it was okay to let the driver deliver something like this. After all, the relationship between Yu Lifei and Kang Weihao has not yet reached that point. But Yu Lifei insisted on going to see it off in person, and he couldn't help it.

"Okay." Yu Lifei said that Kang Weihao is going back by train, which is only ten minutes away from the train station and driving.

Yu Lifei and Kang Weihao exchanged contact information, and Kang Weihao invited Yu Lifei to go to them to play when he had time. Although there is no special antique market there, there are also good goods on the antique street over there. Yu Lifei told Sù Kang Weihao that as long as he has time, he will definitely go.

When he came back, Yu Lifei looked at the time and it was already time to get off work. I didn't go back to the museum, but went straight to the store. Yan Liqiang is already looking forward to it, Yu Lifei is not like Kang Weihao, as long as his bid is right, Yu Lifei is willing to sell things to him. And as long as it's a good thing, he wants to have it.

"Lifei, where's the thing?" As soon as Yan Liqiang arrived at Xuanyazhai, he asked Huang Yan where Yu Lifei's baby was. But Huang Yan didn't know when she asked, Yu Lifei didn't give her any antiques.

"I handed it over to Huang Yan, didn't you see it?" Yu Lifei said in surprise that as soon as he arrived at the store, he gave the Ji red bowl to Huang Yan. It's just that I was in a hurry to go to the museum at that time, and I didn't explain it clearly to Huang Yan. But if she asked her to put things away, she wouldn't dispose of them as garbage, right?

"I didn't see it. I asked Huang Yan, and she said that you didn't give her any antiques in the morning. Yan Liqiang also felt that the situation was very strict, it wouldn't be Huang Yan who threw Yu Lifei's antiques away by her.

"Let's go, go in and have a look." Yu Lifei said in a deep voice.

"Boss Yu, are you going to eat in the store at noon?" Huang Yan happened to come out with a plate of dishes, and when she saw Yu Lifei and Yan Liqiang coming in, she asked. In the morning, she took the plate given by Yu Lifei, and thought that Yu Lifei knew that there were not enough plates for vegetables in the store, so she specially bought an antique one.

"Huang Yan, you put the dishes down first." Yu Lifei saw the plate in Huang Yan's hand at a glance, which happened to be the red glazed plate he got back today. He was very nervous, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. For fear of scaring Huang Yan, he broke the plate by mistake, and at that time, he had the heart to cry.

"Okay." Huang Yan didn't know what Yu Lifei meant, but she still obediently put the plate on the table.

"Lifei, this plate is so beautiful." Yan Liqiang also noticed that something was wrong, and after Huang Yan put down the dishes, he hurriedly sat down next to him and said in admiration.

"No, Brother Qiang, let's have a light meal here today." Yu Lifei said with a wry smile, take the braised tofu on a red glazed plate, I'm afraid only Huang Yan can do it.

"Okay, Lifei, what about the antiques you collected today?" Yan Liqiang often eats out, in fact, his favorite is to eat home-cooked meals. (To be continued......)
