Chu Chen looked at the box carefully, and then muttered, "It looks very new!" ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, the man was a little anxious, and said in a rough voice: "How can it be new!" This is my own planing......

"Uh-huh!"

However, before the man finished speaking, the old horse coughed heavily, and then glared at the man fiercely, which made the five big and three thick men suddenly silent, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.

After half a ring, Lao Ma said to Chu Chen with a smile: "Chu Shao, this box is new, but there are also practical reasons, and with your eyesight, whether the thing is real or false, you can see it at a glance." ”

When he saw that Chu Chen was just a young man about twenty years old, he was very dissatisfied with Ma Xiaoqiang's previous introduction, and felt that Chu Chen was just a young man, how could he have made any achievements in the antique industry that particularly needed experience?

However, Chu Chen's next table was startled by the old horse, he could recognize all the things he brought without saying anything, and the reason was that the head was Dao, and there was basically no difference between the table and the well-known experts.

Although this made Lao Ma stop thinking of fooling Chu Chen, he was very happy in his heart, because in this way, in terms of the authenticity of the things he brought this time, Chu Chen definitely had no objections.

Why do you say that? It turns out that the antiques that have been handed down from generation to generation are generally divided into those handed down. That is, what we usually call a heirloom. The other is the burial, that is, the unearthed. And buried transmission is divided into two categories. Shallow burial and deep burial, respectively.

Shallow buried ceramics are only buried with dozens of centimeters of miscellaneous soil, or soil erosion, leveling the land, geological changes, etc., so that the original deep burial becomes shallow burial, because the things in the shallow soil pit are often affected by the surface temperature, water infiltration, small animal holes, etc., so that the air enters.

This makes most of the ceramics in the pit oxidized well, there is aging phenomenon, and the glaze is basically similar to the heirloom furnishings, which is more luster, bright and new. The feet are also more oily, and the surface of the utensils is mostly smoother, and this kind of ceramics is easy to be recognized by some experts.

Deeply buried ceramics are generally isolated from the air and have no or little oxidation. When first unearthed, the glaze will be very "bright, new, bright", the feel of the utensils in direct contact with the soil is more lubricated, if there is no direct contact with the soil, the lubrication of the feel will be poor, and some utensils will have kiln slag sticky to the feet of the hand or the phenomenon of piercing. Generally, such things are less oxidized and have no aging in appearance, so they are easy to be classified as high imitations.

For example, the very famous Mawangdui Han Tomb in our country, the lacquerware in it is very bright, new and bright when it is first unearthed. When you get closer, you can smell a strong smell of lacquer. Some experts who did not participate in the on-site archaeology thought it was a replica, especially those who came to visit from abroad.

Some foreign experts thought it was repainted, and sued Mr. Zhou on the grounds that China's experts did not know how to protect cultural relics. Reason. This also shows that the deeply buried things are basically isolated from the air, although after thousands of years, it is difficult for the smell to volatilize because of the relatively sealed ones, and it is even more difficult to say that the things will oxidize and age.

In addition to the use and burial, there are two methods: cellar and cliff storage, but these two are generally not very common.

The things that the old horse brought are all deeply buried collections. And the tomb is very well preserved, and there is hardly much air to enter the tomb. This leads to the collection in the tomb, after taking it out, it will be like a new one, and if you don't know about it, you will definitely feel that the thing is imitated.

This kind of collection is preserved to be quite perfect, but for the old horses and the gang who are eager to get rid of things, they are a little depressed, because the buyers who called are all applauded or not, and they think that there are a lot of good things, but there are basically no real shots, and some even put a face on them, so that they can't say that they are reasonable.

Of course, the source of things is disgraceful after all, and it is impossible for them to conflict with buyers for this matter.

When Chu Chen first saw the thing, he had already guessed the source of the thing, because of the previous encounter, he was very disgusted with the tomb robbers, but for the sake of these precious antiques in front of him, he could only be false for the time being, but in terms of price, he had to keep it as low as possible anyway, no matter what, he couldn't let these people make money easily.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Old Ma, I don't know if you have heard a word, the truth is in the hands of a few. From my point of view, there is really nothing wrong with these things, but when I buy them back and sell them, and when the customer thinks the thing is wrong, or because the bid is very low for this reason, I don't necessarily have to keep the thing in my hand, right? ”

Chu Chen's sentence "The bid is very low" made Lao Ma immediately understand that Chu Chen wanted to lower the price, but for him, who was in a hurry to get rid of things, it didn't matter if the price was lowered, as long as it didn't exceed his psychological bottom line.

Therefore, Lao Ma said with a pleasant face: "Chu Shao, you look at the things first, and the price will be said when you choose the things, but I will definitely give you a discount, you can rest assured!" ”

Hearing Lao Ma say this, Chu Chen also knew that he should have understood his thoughts, so he put down the box and picked up other things to look at.

Counting the colorful cloud dragon pattern cover box that Chu Chen first observed, there were only four things that the man brought over, and two of them were also Wanli official kiln porcelain.

One is the blue and white fish dragon pattern bowl, this vessel is large and regular, the pattern is slender and soft, complex but not chaotic, the level is clear, embodies the skillful painting techniques and decoration skills, it is a fine product of Wanli official kiln, rare and rare, and has high artistic value and collection value.

There is also a piece for the eight auspicious bowls of Doucai, although this vessel is applied with many colors, and the decoration is complicated, but its layout is left blank appropriately, and the colors are set against the white glaze against the backdrop of no sense of the pile, which is the fine and superior work of the Wanli official kiln.

Looking at the three pieces of porcelain, the table is all bright, and it looks like a new thing, but if you look closely, it shows a royal atmosphere, and the various characteristics of the porcelain table are not at all imitated by modern counterfeiters, even if you don't use special abilities, Chu Chen can be sure that it is genuine.

And for these three pieces of porcelain, Chu Chen is also quite satisfied, and feels that as an exhibit in his museum, it is very good.

In addition to the three pieces of porcelain, there is also one bronze ware left on the coffee table, a bronze dragon ear.

匜 (yí), one of the bronze ritual vessels in our country, used for the ceremony of wo, is the Shang and Zhou Dynasty nobles in the worship of the gods and ancestors, before and after the banquet to carry out strict washing ceremony, the most common is the bowl and the plate, the water injector, the plate is the water bearer.

It first appeared in the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty and was popular in the late Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period. Its shape is somewhat similar to the current scoop, oval, open, with a stream in the front and a pan in the back. In order to prevent dumping when placed, there are often three-legged and four-legged casts at the bottom of the squirrel, and the bottom is more gentle without feet.

Some of them have covers, some are tall, and some are covered with patterns, and the shapes are different. The water vessel used by the Zhou Dynasty for the gift of Wo Xuan changed from a combination of a plate and a bowl to a combination of a plate and a plate.

This piece of bronze is a long groove-shaped flow in the front part of the pipe, a deep belly and a bottom, a three-columnar hoof and foot, a dragon-shaped podium in the back, a dragon's head and a mouth, round eyes, standing ears, and making a drink. The edge of the mouth is straight, and the edge of the mouth is decorated with a curved pattern for a week.

In addition, this bronze piece may be buried in an extremely dry and pure layer of soil, in addition to smelling a strong smell of rust, the percussion sound is also relatively crisp, and the state of preservation is excellent.

Finally, judging from various characteristics, Chu Chen speculated that the time of making this bronze crate should be in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a rare masterpiece.

For this bronze, Chu Chen said that it was definitely impossible not to be tempted, but after all, the bronze is a thing controlled by the state, and it is somewhat troublesome to buy it.

Moreover, from the porcelain and bronze in front of him, coupled with the fact that Lao Ma seemed to be in a hurry to get rid of these things, and Lao Ma acted so carefully, Chu Chen guessed that Lao Ma and they were likely to have dug up at least two relatively large burial chambers recently, and it was very likely that someone had discovered their traces, and the worst possibility was that someone was already watching Lao Ma and them.

In this case, let alone the bronze pieces, even if it was the other three pieces of porcelain, Chu Chen didn't want to accept it. But now there is another problem, Ma Xiaoqiang knows the address of Lin Dacheng's family, and at this point, if he refuses, he is really worried that Lin Dacheng's family will be affected.

"Hey! Still careless! If I had known this, I shouldn't have come here today! ”

Chu Chen sighed secretly, Lin Dacheng's family had a relationship with him, and the two sides usually didn't interact much, so when he thought about the problem before, he didn't think of this aspect at all, and when he thought about it now, it was too late.

At this point, Chu Chen's current plan is to buy all these things in front of him, and then he must wipe out this group of people, he doesn't want his relatives and friends to encounter the same danger as last time.

Seeing that Chu Chen had read all the things, Lao Ma smiled and said, "Chu Shao, what do you think of these things?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "The things are still good, but they are all new and bright!" And this bronze, although it is only a small piece, but you also know the laws of our country, I have to take a risk when I buy it! ”

Lao Ma's face was immediately full of smiles when he heard this, Chu Chen said this, he had the idea of buying, as for the risk or something, it was just a means of bargaining, for him, as long as he could sell things at a psychological price, everything else was easy to say.

Lao Ma said with a smile: "Chu Shao, risk is all for ordinary people like us, for a big man like you, what is risk!" (To be continued......)
