And now the enamel bowl presented in front of everyone has flowers and birds painted on it, so from this point of view, this enamel bowl should at least be a work fired in the Yongzheng or Qianlong period.

Sure enough, Chu Chen saw the six-character three-line seal book of "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" at the bottom of the bowl, this book is very neat, and it can be seen from this point that this is an open-door work of this dynasty.

This bowl has a glaze like clotted fat and is as warm as jade. The exterior is painted with elegantly colored peonies, chrysanthemums, strange stones, blue birds and flying butterflies. One bluebird perched on a rock, and another nested among the flowers and leaves. Two butterflies fluttering. On the other side, there is a seven-character quatrain. This bowl is elegantly decorated, the shape is peculiar and magnificent, and it should be a rare work of Qianlong enamel porcelain.

After that, Chu Chen used a magnifying glass to observe the details, and it should be confirmed that this is an enamel color poem flower and bird pattern bowl carefully made by Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.

Seeing this, Zhou Wenping said happily: "Xiaochen, do you think this bowl is real?" ”

Seeing Chu Chen nodded, he and Sister-in-law Zhou immediately became excited, and although Sister-in-law Zhou's parents were also very happy, they didn't know the value of this bowl, so they were a little dazed with joy.

After Zhou Wenping calmed down his excitement, he discussed it with Sister-in-law Zhou in a whisper, and then said to Chu Chen: "Xiaochen, you usually help Brother Zhou's family so much, and we have nothing to repay, this bowl will be given to you, you must not refuse." ”

After Chu Chen heard this, his face changed: "Brother Zhou, it's not that you don't know the value of this bowl, if I accept it, then who will I become?" Do you still take me as a friend like this? ”

Zhou Wenping saw that Chu Chen was really angry, and his face was a little embarrassed, and everyone was a little surprised by Zhou Wenping's decision, and Zhou's parents were a little incomprehensible, so Zhou's sister-in-law said the reason. Everyone suddenly admired Chu Chen's selfless spirit towards his friends.

At this time, Chu Yulan's eyes contained an inexplicable look, but everyone didn't notice this.

Sister-in-law Zhou's father opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Chu, you really don't have anything to say!" Don't be angry, this is also a little bit of Wen Ping's heart, no matter how expensive this bowl is, can it be more expensive than your affection? ”

Chu Chen was also a little embarrassed now, but it would definitely not work for him to accept such a valuable gift, so he said:

"This bowl, as far as the gift is concerned, is too valuable, and if I take it, I will definitely be upset. In this way, I will order a little cheaper, 300,000 yuan, buy it, Brother Zhou, you also know the market situation, if you are still unwilling, then I will definitely not ask for it. ”

Everyone knows that enamel is very precious, but except for Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping who understand the market situation, others don't know that such an ordinary big bowl can be sold for 300,000 yuan, and listening to Chu Chen's meaning, if the value is higher in the market, they will be very surprised, and Zhou's sister-in-law's parents are even more surprised.

In fact, 300,000 yuan, in the case of this bowl, there is not much difference compared to the price on the market, Zhou Wenping and his wife saw his resolute tone and expression, glanced at each other, and had no choice but to agree.

At this time, Chu Yulan said to Chu Chen: "Brother Chu, I have only seen this enamel in the museum before, since it is so valuable, can you tell us about the requirements for identification?" ”

"There's certainly no problem with that."

Chu Chen picked up the bowl again with a smile, and said while pointing: "Generally speaking, the main characteristics of enamel color are several aspects. First of all, the porcelain tire must be a must-see, the enamel color of the tire, the porcelain tire is thin, the tire repair rules, intact. And the enamel color is mostly small, generally speaking, more than a foot is rare, this point should be paid attention to when buying. ”

"Speaking of tires, let's talk about the shape, although this is ordinary, but beginners may often not care, the general enamel color shape is mostly bowls, bottles, cigarette bottles and other small pieces of porcelain for daily use, and animal ornaments. If you see an enamel jar, it's best not to look at it. ”

"Let's talk about the bottom shaft and color, the bottom shaft is a pure white shaft, not blue or yellow, the shaft surface is smooth and clean and flawless. The color is very vivid and soft, rarely a solid color but a pastel-type coupling color, and there are many colors. However, in terms of color, it is best for you to go to the museum to see more, and once you are familiar with it, you can see the difference between real and fake. ”

"The main thing in the enamel is the pigment, and the real product has a smooth, vitreous reflective surface and sometimes a clam light. The glaze is convex and the bottom glaze is slightly higher than about one millimeter, there is an obvious three-dimensional feeling, you can clearly feel it when you close your eyes and touch it with your hands, if you use a ten-fold magnifying glass to see the very small opening lines on each small flower and leaf. ”

As for painting and ornamentation, because the enamel painting skills are particularly exquisite, most of them are strokes, so each dynasty is different, in the Qianlong period, it is also divided into two periods. Like this bowl, it is the work of Qianlong in the early period. ”

"The style characteristics of the early Qianlong period are extremely close to the style of the products of the later Yongzheng period, and it is a perfect combination of poetry, calligraphy, painting, enamel, porcelain, etc. In the later period, the enamel color became complicated, and poetry was basically not used, and color ground, "icing on the cake", pine green glaze, and gilded decoration at the mouth and bottom were commonly used. ”

Zuihou said that the style of the Kangxi period was once forbidden to write money, and it was not released until later. Before Qianlong, it was generally a four-character paragraph, and during the Qianlong period, a blue and white six-character seal script was added, as well as a horizontal six-character seal book. Individual utensils are written in gold or black color, and the seal script or regular script is recognized. ”

Zuihou, Chu Chen said: "The above is just a brief introduction, in fact, there are many requirements for the identification of enamel color, such as the use of materials and the distinction between imported and domestic, etc., these experiences require years of study and observation of the accumulation." ”

"But I advise you, the enamel color is best to only look at it and not buy, you think that this bowl of 300,000 is already very expensive, but the real boutique, which is not often millions, and the enamel color of the Qing Dynasty is rare, it is basically difficult to encounter on the market, if you buy a fake, you think, what a loss!"

After everyone listened to him, they all looked thoughtful, and Li Guodong sighed and said:

"There are too many twists and turns on this antique, so I'd better study my jadeite."

Then he said to Chu Chen:

"Xiao Chen, you are really a freak, you are so proficient in antiques, and you are so powerful in jade gambling stones, I don't know how your brain grows."

Everyone thought of Chu Chen's performance, and they were all very envious of his erudition.

Zhou Wenping said with a smile: "Don't look at Xiaochen is so powerful now, think that when I first met him, whenever there was no business, he would take out antique books to study, do you say he is hard work?" ”

This is really the same as what he said, Chu Chen back then, in order to have more antique knowledge, was very hard in learning, not only reading books every day to see twelve o'clock, but also asking others for antique appraisal skills whenever he had the opportunity. Over the past few years, his basic skills have been very solid.

Therefore, even if he didn't have any special abilities, with what Chu Chen had learned, he wouldn't have a bad life in the future.

Everyone now knows that Chu Chen still has such a side, and they all sigh that the scenery in front of the stage is often poured with sweat from the audience.

Everyone sat down for a while while talking and laughing, and then said goodbye to Sister-in-law Zhou's parents, it's not that Sister-in-law Zhou's parents don't want to keep them, it's really that there are so many people living in the family at once.

Because Sister-in-law Zhou and her two children were going to stay at their parents' house for two days, they didn't use any means of transportation when they went back, chatting all the way and seeing the surrounding customs, and it was more comfortable to arrive.

Chu Chen said to Zhou Wenping: "Brother Zhou, the money for this bowl, after I go back, I will help you buy a house and we will calculate it, what do you think?" ”

After Zhou Wenping heard this, he said a little embarrassedly: "This must be no problem, but there is something to trouble you, my father-in-law and mother-in-law will not follow me to the capital, so I want to help them repair the house, and I may have to ask you to borrow some money then." ”

After Chu Chen heard what he said, he said happily: "What's the trouble in this matter, besides, Brother Zhou, you do this, it is the responsibility that a man should have, and I will definitely support it." ”

After Chu Yulan heard this, they all agreed, the old man has paid so much for his children, and he must repay him as much as he can, this is a natural thing, otherwise what is the meaning of life? Is it just for yourself? You also have to think about the day when people will get old.

When Zhou Wenping saw Chu Chen agree, his mood immediately became much more relaxed, and he said: "Xiao Chen, I'm really sorry this time, let you come over to dig the house, I didn't expect that there were only these things." ”

Chu Chen smiled mysteriously: "How do you know that I have no gain?" ”

Hearing him say this, everyone was stunned, wasn't it?

Li Guodong said curiously: "Xiao Chen, that Tang Sancai must be a fake, could it be that there is some mystery in that jade cicada?" ”

After hearing this, Chu Chen smiled and said: "Brother Li, you are very smart, this jade cicada is a treasure, when we return to Brother Zhou's house, we will know what is going on." ”

Hearing this, everyone's curiosity was raised, and they all guessed in their hearts what the treasure Chu Chen was talking about, and suddenly even their pace accelerated.

When he arrived at Zhou Wenping's house, Chu Chen asked him to take out a basin of water and a toothbrush, and then he took out the jade cicada, and said to everyone with a smile: "Look at it, don't be surprised for a while!" ”

After finishing speaking, Chu Chen gently put the jade cicada into the water, and after a while, everyone present, including Chu Chen himself, who had just said not to be surprised, all widened their eyes, and the two girls opened their mouths widely, and they looked like they could stuff two eggs, because the scene was so shocking.
