Chapter 3 Treasure Appraisal and Finding Experts

Xinsheng Garden Community is not far from Pingcheng Antique Market, although the building is a building in the nineties, but the geographical location is very superior, adjacent to the traditional Chinese medicine hospital in the county, seven or eight hundred meters to the south is the most prosperous Pingcheng market, about one kilometer to the north is the two highest institutions of Pingcheng, Pingcheng No. 1 Middle School and Pingcheng Vocational Education Center.

It only took ten minutes for Liu Sheng to carry a huge gift box to the bottom of a slightly twilight residential building, habitually looked down at the sky, and Shi Shiran walked into the corridor.

"Ding-dong."

Soon a middle-aged woman opened the door, with strands of white hair on her sideburns, and the crow's feet on the corners of her eyes appeared at some point.

"Why are you buying this?"

The aunt suddenly found out from the corner of her eye that a corner of the black lacquer jar was exposed in the hole of the gift box in Liu Sheng's arms, and her face was instantly clouded, and a storm would fall at any time.

"Hehe, auntie, this is fake."

Liu Sheng didn't explain, walked into the house with a hippie smile, put the big gift box on the ground, sat on the sofa without any image, blowing the air conditioner, and dissipated the heat for half a day.

"You still buy the fake?" The aunt's face softened a lot, and she pointed to the big gift box and said.

Since the eldest uncle stepped down from the position of deputy director, he began to be obsessed with ancient porcelain, but he was very restrained, occasionally visiting the Pingcheng antique market, spending a little money, and he was not distressed by his eyes, just entertainment, and the aunt also understood something under the influence of the eldest uncle.

"Auntie, look at this." Liu Sheng quickly opened the gift box and flipped over a large black lacquer jar, immediately revealing the rough flint-red bottom of the jar, and pointed to the edge.

"Nothing." The aunt looked at it but found nothing, and looked at Liu Sheng suspiciously.

"Use a hammer or a wrench to smash the bottom of the bottle open." Liu Sheng carefully confirmed, just as the Demon Mirror Instrument Spirit said that under the cover of flint red, there was a circle of undetectable gaps at the bottom edge, and the way of counterfeiting was too clumsy and easy to ignore.

"There's a wrench in the garage, go get it yourself." The aunt handed the garage key to Liu Sheng.

Although Liu Sheng knew what kind of treasure was hidden in the road, he still couldn't wait to take it out of it, and quickly picked up the wrench from the garage. Liu Sheng took the wrench and tapped it carefully at the bottom of the can, and sure enough, there was a hollow sound echoing inside.

"Guangxu Tongbao, Western Zhou Yuanqian, Qiaozu Half Emperor Jin Cloth, Three-hole Cloth, Boshan Knife, Jinyang Dagger, Qi Six-character Knife, Daqi Tongbao, Zhenguan Tongbao, Hongwu Tongbao..." Liu Sheng stroked all kinds of copper coins in his hand with some excitement, and he didn't have time to observe at the stall, but he didn't expect to give himself such a big surprise, more than half of them were fifty treasures.

"Copper coins?"

The aunt listened to the sound of the porcelain breaking, and then a hollow space was revealed at the bottom of the jar, and there were more than a dozen copper coins with yellow brilliance lying in it, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and a look of disappointment appeared on her face.

"Hehe, aunt, in fact, this copper coin is also very valuable, you see these are carved mothers, that is, the template of copper coins, the amount of survival is particularly rare, more precious than ordinary copper coins, and more than half of them are fifty treasures, it is said that the Palace Museum has not collected, and the cheapest of them are thousands of yuan." Liu Sheng heard his aunt's disappointed voice and came back to his senses and explained.

Although there are gold and silver as the currency in circulation in the past dynasties, but the most widespread in China is copper coins, after thousands of years of development has accumulated a considerable amount, in the eyes of ordinary people these copper coins are really worthless, generally on the pound of sale, for the aunt's reaction, Liu Sheng also felt strange.

"Ah, so many?" The aunt's shocked expression was undoubted, and the impression and imagination of the small copper coins were 108,000 miles away.

"It's not surprising, the market demand." Liu Sheng explained simply.

"Whoa."

Liu Sheng put away more than a dozen copper coins, took out another big black lacquer jar, studied for a long time and didn't see any clues, so he simply did his great cause of destruction again.

"Fengtian Province made a silver dollar in the Guangxu Yuan Treasure Treasury, a silver dollar made in Hong Kong, a silver dollar made in Hong Kong, a silver dollar made in HuB Province in Guangxu seven coins and two cents in this province, and a silver dollar in the earth version of Sun Yat-sen, which are the four heavenly kings?" Liu Sheng was even more excited, looking at the silver dollar lying quietly in his hand, feeling the unique coldness of silver, and almost wanted to rush out of the city to buy five million lottery tickets.

"The Four Heavenly Kings, what the Four Heavenly Kings?" At this time, the door opened, and a kind-looking, gray-haired middle-aged man walked in from outside and interjected with a smile.

"Uncle." Liu Sheng was a little restrained when he saw the visitor, and he was immediately a little at a loss.

"Vacheron Constantin, Rolex?" The eldest uncle's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to take the two pocket watches from Liu Sheng's hands, and was instantly captured by the gorgeous appearance and excellent workmanship of the two famous watches, and selectively ignored the four heavenly kings silver dollars.

"It seems to be a long time ago, at least from the Republic of China." The eldest uncle has been an official for many years, and he can be regarded as well-informed, and he quickly judged the origin of the two pocket watches.

"Uncle, keep whatever you like." Liu Sheng found that the joy in his eldest uncle's eyes was almost overflowing, and he said smoothly.

"No, it's too expensive." The eldest uncle's face sank, and he returned the pocket watch in his hand to Liu Sheng, he has always adhered to his principles, even when he was an official, he was clean on his sleeves, not to mention that he now accepts things from juniors for no reason.

"Auntie, what do you see?" Liu Sheng could only turn his head to ask his aunt for help, his eyes were full of hope. Since the three sisters and brothers went to school in the county seat, they have not bothered the aunt's family, Liu Sheng secretly remembered it in his heart, and always wanted to find a chance to repay it.

"Xiaosheng, I know what you think in your heart, I don't lack anything at home, your family is not rich, find an opportunity to sell, just relieve the pressure on your father, he provides you with school, this life is not easy." The aunt also has a firm face, and stands on the same front with the eldest uncle, unanimous to the outside world.

"Yes, I can't give a gift yet, so I'll take it first, and one day my uncle will take it from me if he wants it." Liu Sheng's heart was full of emotion, and the warmth of family affection was not polluted by the copper smell.

"By the way, after talking for a long time, Xiaosheng, where did you get these things." The eldest uncle suddenly remembered something and said with a straight face.

The eldest uncle has now retired, but he still has the title of deputy director, and he doesn't have to go to work at ordinary times, so he can adapt to the life after retirement in advance, and only if there are major things in the bureau will report to the bureau, in addition to visiting the antique market, he occasionally finds a few mahjong friends to rub the little mahjong, and now he has just come back from the card table and does not understand the situation.

"What's wrong?" Liu Sheng was a little inexplicable, but he simply told what happened.

"Oh, I see." The eldest uncle's face is a little better, "But the water in the antique shop is deep, and all kinds of tricks emerge in endlessly, so it's best to find an expert to identify it." ”

"I heard from an expert that the appraisal fee is a lot of money." Liu Sheng's face crossed, although he knew that these things were true, but others didn't know that he needed money to find an expert, and he made up a reason to take it from home, and it was really nerve-wracking where the appraisal fee came from.

"It's okay, I heard that the "Treasure Hunt" event is about to be recorded in BJ, register on the Internet, don't you just go to participate in the treasure hunt, I happen to live at your second aunt's house in BJ." The eldest uncle immediately gave Liu Sheng a note.

"Hehe, it's still the eldest uncle who has a lot of ideas, it's really an old man in the family, if there is a treasure." Liu Sheng suddenly smiled, and the sycophants rolled in.

"Sycophants." The eldest uncle scolded with a smile.
