Ren Jingtian's mother has passed away, and he has not yet started a family, so he used to cook for his son. Ren Jingtian is best at cooking noodles, and they are instant noodles. Today, Yu Lifei is a guest, so he wants to go outside to the restaurant. But Yu Lifei believes that the food made at home is delicious, and there is no need to waste that money.

But Yu Lifei felt that he was a junior, and he couldn't let Ren Zhiwei cook, he ate ready-made. So Yu Lifei looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator and went to the kitchen to fry a few dishes. In more than half an hour, the meal was all ready. A stir-fried pork with chili, braised fish pieces, tomato egg soup. Although they are all home-cooked dishes, Ren Zhiwei and his son praised Yu Lifei's craftsmanship, and the two of them feasted, and with Yu Lifei, they quickly wiped out all the meals.

"Less, I didn't expect your fried dishes to be so delicious, did you ever do anything in a restaurant before?" Ren Zhiwei ate two bowls of rice before he stopped. His teeth are not very good, and he rarely eats meat, and he is afraid that he will not be able to bite it. But today he tasted it, the fried meat with chili peppers was tender and fresh, and the fish and soup were a little different from the taste of the restaurant, but when he ate it, he had a different taste.

"Uncle Ren, I don't follow the rules when I stir-fry, I can fry as much as I want." Yu Lifei smiled, since he was eight years old, the old man basically didn't cook, although he was in the deep mountains and old forests, but the old man was very picky about eating. As a result, Yu Lifei, whether it is knife work or fire, has laid the foundation since he was a child. In addition, he was born in martial arts, and he has learned knife skills all over his body, and he uses a kitchen knife, which is even more superb, and the meat slices are thin and even, which is better than that of ordinary old chefs.

"Whatever you want, whimsical, this is probably the highest level of stir-frying." Ren Zhiwei said with a smile that foreign chefs pay attention to precision in cooking, but Chinese chefs have always paid attention to feeling. For example, salt is accurate to the gram in foreign countries, but in China it is "a little" and "in moderation", which never deprives chefs of creativity.

"Dad, let Xiao live in my house during this time, you will be blessed. At night, I go to the office on duty, and I sleep in my room, don't you have some books for antiques? Borrow a few copies and show them to him. Ren Jingtian said that his house is a three-bedroom and two-hall house, with one bedroom for each father and son, and the other as a study. And the study, even if it is him, cannot come and go at will.

"Less, although your luck is good, the water in this line of antiques is very deep. Before a certain amount of knowledge accumulation, it is okay to be a hobby, but you can't indulge in it. Ren Zhiwei told that in the antique industry, there are people who get rich overnight, but it is also common for them to go bankrupt. The former is always talked about, while the latter is not mentioned. Over time, people always think that as long as they engage in antiques, they can get rich immediately. Such a thought is extremely dangerous.

"Uncle Ren, don't worry, I just want to learn some basic knowledge, after all, I will go to work in the museum in the future, and I can't know anything about it, right?" Yu Lifei said that he is actually not so obsessed with antiques. If it weren't for some kind of inexplicable attraction, he wouldn't have made a move for the past two days. Even if it is to borrow books, it is also Ren Jingtian's meaning, according to his idea, he can go to the bookstore to buy some introductory books first, or go to the Internet to check some information, so that he can slowly understand.

"That's good, don't learn from your brother Ren, obviously there is only half a bucket of water, and I like to hang around." Ren Zhiwei is very satisfied with Lifei's attitude, and he can't feel that he can do anything because he picked up one or two leaks. There are some tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of bosses in the antique world, and it is not uncommon for the wives to be separated after the most losses.

"Uncle Ren, can I ask you something?" Yu Lifei suddenly remembered the secret door under the base of the boy bathing cow ornament, if it is not restored, it will not be easy to take it out in the future.

"Just ask." Ren Zhiwei said that as long as Yu Lifei was really interested in antiques, he was happy to say it. As for Ren Jingtian, although he is also very interested in antiques, he is still in the stage of "playing", so he has not calmed down at all and studied it well. All day long I just think about picking up leaks.

Picking up leaks is indeed a very desirable thing, but "it is easy to find holes and difficult to pick up leaks", and if you want to find valuable things, you can't do without a few basic skills. The first is the ability to perceive and discover "leaks" and dynasties, and to pick up leaks in the collection of antiques, which is only possible with a high level of appreciation.

Generally, the ancient porcelain treasures of high quality are known to be valuable, and it is not easy for traders to buy them cheaply, so the price will not be low. As for the preciousness of porcelain, it is often reflected in the amount of historical and cultural information contained in porcelain, which is not determined by its beautiful appearance. Collectors need to have a better understanding of the firing process and development of Chinese porcelain in various historical periods, and have a superior level of appreciation in the collection before it is possible to pick up the omissions.

Secondly, it is the ability to identify the authenticity of "leaks". The phenomenon of counterfeiting and shoddy and shoddy in the antique market is becoming more and more serious, and the counterfeiters take advantage of the weakness that many collectors are not deeply experienced and have a weak ability to distinguish counterfeits, and specialize in making some strange counterfeits, which are sold in the market after being old, making people feel that they are rare and precious, but they suffer from no reference utensils and information, although they have no bottom in their hearts, and they are afraid of missing the goods, so it is easy to pay for fakes.

Again, it is the ability to exclude external interference. Unable to withstand external interference often leads to "eye-catching". It's not surprising that this is common for those who are new to collecting, even if they are connoisseurs. The most important thing to cause "eye-catching" is to believe the seller's rhetoric, which is very matter-of-the-job and tempting. At this time, you must be assertive, see your hands, mainly rely on practical experience, and cannot be moved by the other party's rhetoric, especially to prevent "childcare". The so-called "childcare", which is easy to solve, is the seller's helper.

Finally, it is necessary to have the ability to grasp opportunities. The key to picking up the leak is not to miss the opportunity, once you recognize it and buy it decisively, if you let go of the opportunity to pick up the leak, and then want to get the collection, the price paid will be worlds apart. However, if you are afraid of missing the goods and buy it by luck, it will often lead to the consequences of being distracted. The most important thing is to have vision and knowledge. And Ren Jingtian always thinks that what he has learned is enough, and often ends up in an eye-catcher.

"I had a base for an ornament, and I stumbled upon a secret door, but when I opened it, I didn't know how it stuck back. I'm afraid that the indiscriminate use of glue will destroy the base, so I would like to ask you for advice. Yu Lifei said sincerely.

"Is the thing here?" Ren Zhiwei asked, although he only specializes in the history of the Song Dynasty, it does not mean that he does not understand antiques, and the Song Dynasty also has ornaments.

"Yes." Yu Lifei hurriedly cleaned up the food on the table and took out the boy bathing cow picture ornament from his bag.

"Lifei, this is what you brought from your hometown?" When Ren Jingtian saw something, he was about to get up, and immediately sat down with interest.

"I bought it at the stall last night, and I thought it was very interesting at the time, but after Grandpa Wu saw it, he said it was true." Yu Lifei didn't want to stimulate Ren Jingtian anymore, but he was afraid that if he was not careful, he would lose the small wooden board taken from the base, or it would break if he pressed it.

"Bought it last night?" Ren Jingtian's eyes bulged out all of a sudden, Yu Lifei is this a fairy or something, he has been a leak for so many years, and he can't pick up a leak, after he arrived in Tanzhou, it seems that he hasn't stopped picking up leaks. But he still didn't give up and asked, "How much did you buy this thing?" ”

"Seventy." When Yu Lifei spoke, he still had a pain in his flesh.

"You kid is cheap and has to sell well, seventy yuan to buy a real bamboo carving ornament, as if you have suffered a loss. I see that the shape of this vessel is elegant, the knife work is exquisite, and it is delicate and exquisite. The posture of the characters is vivid and visible, elegant and refined, and it is worth at least 10,000 pieces. Ren Jingtian looked at it from the side and said teasingly.

"Less, this is an old thing indeed. And the workmanship is exquisite, as for the secret door below, it is easy to make it back. This is boxwood, which can be repaired with fish maw glue. Ren Zhiwei looked at it for a while and quickly made a judgment.

"Fish maw gum is commonly known as yellow croaker gelatin. The main component of the yellow swim bladder is raw gum. The viscosity of yellow croaker glue is very high, and the gelling strength exceeds that of general animal glue, and the adhesion effect of wood is particularly good. Ren Zhiwei saw Yu Lifei with a blank face and explained.

"Uncle Ren, where can I buy yellow croaker gelatin?" Yu Lifei asked, if the things are too expensive, I'm afraid I will have to wait until the salary is paid next month.

"You have it in the museum, you don't use it much, you can ask Professor Wu for a little at that time." Ren Zhiwei said.

"Dad, how much is this ornament worth?" Ren Jingtian asked, he was most concerned about the price.

"It depends on who you sell it to, if you find someone who knows the goods, twenty or thirty thousand is still okay. If you meet someone who likes bamboo carving, forty or fifty thousand is no problem. If Yan Liqiang sees it, it is not uncommon to come up with fifty or sixty thousand. Ren Zhiwei said lightly, now he looks at Yu Lifei with a slightly different gaze, is he pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? Obviously has a deep knowledge of antiques, but pretends not to understand anything? But if that's not the case, there's no way to explain his continuous leakage.

And since there is a secret door at the base of this ornament, there must be something inside. But what about what's inside? Originally, he wanted to ask, but he swallowed the words when they came to his lips.

"Li Fei, you have this ability, what kind of class do you go to the museum? Hurry up tomorrow and pick up a leak, and you don't have to worry about it in this life. Ren Jingtian said with envy on his face, he should have gone to the office, but looking at this boy bathing cow picture ornament, he couldn't move his steps.

"This is the first antique I bought after I came to Tanzhou, and it is also the first antique I really own, and I don't plan to sell it." Yu Lifei said with a smile.

"Jingtian, if you have a mentality less than this, you won't be eye-catching often. Just now you also said that you want to take the less than the beginning, I think you will learn more from the less in the future. After Ren Zhiwei finished speaking with a cold face, he turned around and entered the study. But soon, he took out a few books and solemnly handed them to Yu Lifei.

"The old man thinks that books are more important than life, you should be careful when you arrive, don't get dirty or bad, otherwise he will really dare to fight with you." Ren Jingtian admonished.

"Don't worry, Brother Ren." Yu Lifei said that people who really do learning respect knowledge very much, and their love for books is unimaginable to ordinary people.
