Chapter 4 Examinations

The double pupils directly looked through this Hetian jade, and saw that the innermost epidermis was processed from green and white jade, the surface was smooth and delicate, and the color was somewhat evenly distributed, but in his eyes, a fake was a fake, and his double pupils were more accurate than the cells seen by the microscope.

"Young man, I'm a person who pays attention to doing business and is pleasing to the eye." The boss said with a smile on his face, "To be honest, I bought this Hetian jade from a cultural relics dealer, and it has been some years, so it's only 10,000 yuan." ”

10,000 yuan, this person is really a lion's mouth, at most 300 yuan. You really think I'm a rookie. Tang Yu shook his head and smiled.

The stall owner was a little embarrassed: "Young man, this is really indispensable, you can ask about other carpets casually, the things that my third child sells are Tong Suo without deception, and everything is true." ”

Tang Yu still smiled and shook his head.

The boss was a little anxious and said, "That's it, you are my first guest this morning, and I will give you an auspicious number, eight thousand eight." ”

Tang Yu still shook his head and handed the exquisitely carved Hetian jade to the stall owner.

"And how much do you say?" The boss was a little depressed, don't shake your head all the time, "You tell me a price, if I think it's good, I'll sell it to you." ”

"Three hundred yuan, not a penny more." Tang Yu said seriously.

"Three hundred?" The stall owner gasped, good boy, you can really bargain, from 10,000 yuan to 300 yuan, although this is indeed worth 300 yuan, but you are too cut. The boss pretended to be angry and said, "What are you kidding, I'm a baby." ”

"I'm not buying it." Tang Yu said and left.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." The stall owner hurriedly pulled Tang Yu's arm, and said depressedly and strangely, "You are also with us?" ”

Only with this explanation can we say what Tang Yu killed directly from 10,000 yuan to 300 yuan.

"I work at He Wenxuan's pawnshop, so I'll come out and take a look if I have nothing to do." Tang Yu said with a smile.

"No wonder, no wonder." The stall owner laughed dryly, He Wenxuan is a well-known pawn shop in the antique world, "Okay, I'll sell you three hundred yuan." ”

"Thank you."

Tang Yu paid and left.

The reason why he bought this jade was mainly to test whether the aura released by his double pupils could turn a 300 piece of Hetian jade into 30,000 yuan of high-grade jade.

"Hey, there's an aura." Tang Yu, who had been shopping for almost an hour and had not found any aura antiques, was about to leave again when he suddenly felt a faint aura floating in the air.

Maybe this kind of aura is not known to outsiders, but it is very obvious to Tang Yu.

Tang Yu followed this faint aura to a corner, and there was also a stall in the corner, the owner was a silver-haired old man, in his eighties, wearing a reading glasses, sitting on a stool and humming a tune leisurely.

The aura came from a plum bottle, to be precise, a plum bottle with a corner missing. This plum vase is 43cm high, with a small mouth, plump shoulders, regular shape, solid fetal quality, glazed white and flashing blue, blue and white tones, and a feeling of sapphire blue. With black-brown spots, with a slight tin light, it feels uneven.

The blue and white ornamental painting is chic and free, the pen line is powerful, the multi-level structure, the compact harmony, and the golden color flying phoenix ornament complement each other, magnificent, with a sense of magnificence.

The sole of the foot is concave and circled, the width and thickness are shallow, there is a sense of irregularity, the sand bottom, there are fine sand holes and black paste pittings, the glaze spots are natural, and there are light flint red around. This plum vase is simple in shape, graceful and handsome, bright in color, full of aura, and there is no trace of human work.

"Which one, young man, do you like it? Take a look. The old man said enthusiastically when he saw that there was business.

"How much does this plum bottle cost?" Tang Yu said as he rubbed the plum bottle that exuded aura with both hands, although it was not very pure and thick, it was better than nothing.

If he is not mistaken, this plum vase should be a golden plum vase produced in the Yuan Dynasty, and the value will be more than one million, even if it is missing a dime. Sometimes the beauty of the mutilation is more striking to the eye.

"Oh, the young man has a unique vision, others come to me to see some calligraphy and paintings or jade, you are the first to see this plum bottle." The old man's wrinkled face was all smiling.

"How much?" Tang Yu still asked, others saw that his hands were rubbing the plum bottle to try the feel, but in fact, it was more about absorbing aura.

The aura of old antiques will be more pure and broken, which is unavoidable for Tang Yu.

"A thousand yuan, if it weren't for the lack of this corner, I would definitely sell it for ten thousand." The old man said with a sigh.

Tang Yu was silent on the surface, but his heart was full of joy, and he really broke out and picked up a big treasure, so he was a little embarrassed: "Old man, be less, you see I'm not a rich person, I will take this plum bottle back mainly to decorate." ”

"That's eight hundred, that's the most." The old man said with some embarrassment.

"Deal." Tang Yu smiled, paid quickly, picked up the vase, walked two steps and came back, "Old man, do you set up a stall here every day?" ”

"That's right." The old man was also very happy to have made his first business today, after all, the plum bottle that was missing a corner was still bought. This plum bottle was originally brought by him from his hometown, and he also took it to some well-known antique experts for identification, but when he saw that the plum bottle was missing, he directly asked him to leave.

"We'll see each other again in the future."

Tang Yu said such a sentence and left. Although he picked up a priceless porcelain, what he really cared about was the historical and cultural aura of this porcelain.

This is equivalent to the old man giving him a bite to eat.

He Wenxuan.

"Tang Yu, I heard that you drove away the pawn shop's guests yesterday, is there such a thing?" He Wenxuan's chief appraiser, Yan Kui's second uncle, asked slowly, staring at Tang Yu who was standing in front of him, while tasting the best Biluochun tea.

As soon as Tang Yu heard the tone of the second uncle, he knew that Li Zhiguan must have said something gossip in the old man's ear, and said with a smile: "Second uncle, that guy got a defective product, of course I drove him away." ”

"Oh, defective?" Yan Kui's face showed a little doubt, mainly because Tang Yu did chores in He Wenxuan, such as helping with some goods, running errands for the shopkeeper or something, and now he suddenly said that the things that the guests pawned were defective, which was a bit strange.

"In this way, for the sake of fairness and justice, I will test you." Yan Kui stood up and walked into the inner hall, and after a few minutes, he took out a colorful Qingtian jade, "Do you see if this Qingtian jade is real or fake?" ”

Experienced appraisers identify through one touch, two listens, three looks, and four tests: first touch with your hands, the natural stone feels cold, and the fake stone is easy to warm; Then play it with your fingers, the sound of natural stone is deep, and the sound of fake stone is brittle; Then it is reversed to the strong light, the edge of the natural stone chapter has a sense of transparency to the thick place of the shadow tone changes naturally, the fake stone chapter to increase the weight, buried in the body of the iron bar, faintly visible; After the most can be used to carve the stone with a knife, the real stone will carve out the stone powder, and engrave plastic products, and the curled filaments can be seen under the knife.

As a veteran appraiser, Yan Kui naturally has the qualifications and strength to judge the authenticity of this colorful Qingtian jade in the shortest possible time, but what about Tang Yu, a beginner?

"Second uncle, this is a fake." Tang Yu said.

Yan Kui was slightly stunned, because Tang Yu just touched the colorful Qingtian jade and concluded that it was a fake, even if it was himself, it would take at least three minutes to identify, this kid didn't even have five seconds, was it really capable or an element of luck?

"This fake five-color Qingtian jade is a combination of Guangdong stone and Kuandian stone, I am very surprised that this master's craftsmanship actually combines these two stones perfectly, the color can almost be fake and real, and the distribution is also very even, but the fake is fake, am I right?"

Yan Kui stood up from the chair in shock, Tang Yu knew the structure of this fake colorful Qingtian jade just by touching it, could this be a miracle?
