Just as Zou Ying was preparing in the studio hall, the male host was already interviewing the first treasure holder. Watching the two of them ask and answer each other, seeing a close-up interview for the first time, Chu Chen felt that it was quite novel.

After a while, Director Xu's walkie-talkie came with the news that Zou Ying was ready, and said to several experts:

"Are you ready, teachers, if it's good, we're ready to start filming!"

Everyone nodded their heads, indicating that there was no problem.

"Start ......"

"Watch "Collect the World", appreciate the treasures of the world, audience friends, happy Spring Festival everyone, I am the host Zou Ying, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, please allow me to represent ......"

"Next, I invite the teachers of our expert group to come to the ......"

As soon as Zou Ying's words fell, as the music sounded, the five teachers of the expert group walked in from the sensor door one by one, and waved to the audience with a smile on their faces.

With the entry of the experts, Zou Ying also introduced to the audience, and every time he introduced one, there was a round of applause in the audience, because Chu Chen's popularity rose, and when it was his turn, there was no cold scene in the audience.

Of course, having said that, after all, it is on the TV station, even if everyone looks down on Chu Chen, under the arrangement in advance, the applause is just as warm, and it is definitely impossible to be cold.

"Now I would like to invite our first Tibetan friend, Wang Peng......"

"Happy New Year, everyone, ...... New Year"

As he spoke, a slightly chubby man in his forties, holding something wrapped in red cloth, walked in from outside the door, walking as he went. While smiling and waving to the audience.

No matter how Chu Chen looked at it, he felt that the smile of this treasure holder was very stiff. However, he also laughed at fifty steps and laughed at one hundred steps. When he entered the arena just now, he was not much better than this treasure bearer.

On stage, Wang Peng first shook hands with Zou Ying a little nervously, and then made a brief self-introduction.

"Happy New Year Mr. Wang, I wonder what kind of collection you brought to you this time?"

"I'm bringing a God of Wealth with me today! Isn't this the New Year, I'm here to send the God of Wealth to everyone! Wang Peng opened the red cloth and introduced.

"Mr. Wang brought a more festive collection to everyone......"

Underneath the red cloth is not a bronze gilt statue, after Zou Ying saw it, he asked a little strangely: "But why is this God of Wealth different from what we usually see?" And a mouse in his hand......"

"That's right. It's different! ”

Wang Peng said: "This God of Wealth is left by the older generation of my family, my father told me that this is the God of Wealth, I also feel very puzzled, so today I take this opportunity to ask experts to help identify it." ”

"Okay, then ask Mr. Sha to help identify it, please ......"

Wang Peng put the statue on the table in front of Mr. Sha, bowed and walked back to its original position.

"Teacher Sha, is there such a god of wealth who holds a mouse in his hand?" Zou Ying asked.

"This statue does have something to do with the God of Wealth. But he's not our local God of Wealth. ”

Mr. Sha explained: "The gods of wealth in our country are mainly divided into two categories: one is Taoism, and the other is folk beliefs. The God of Wealth we usually see is named Li Yizu. It is also called the God of Literature and Wealth, the God of Fortune, and the others include Zhao Gongming, Bigan, Guan Gong, etc., ......"

"As for this God of Wealth. His name is the Yellow God of Wealth, and he is the protector deity of the Western Esoteric Religion. The head of the gods of wealth. He was one of the first Hindu deities to enter Buddhism, and his predecessor was the god Medicine Fork. The Yellow God of Wealth has been the God of Wealth from the beginning. It is also the most widely spread god of wealth in Buddhism, and its shape has some small differences due to inheritance, but its characteristics are similar. ”

Teacher Sha picked up the Buddha statue and explained: "This Yellow God of Wealth has a five-leaf crown on his head, his hair is in a towering bun, and the top is decorated with Mani Bao, and the treasure is flying behind his ears. The face is square, the brow is slightly frowned, the compatibility is angry, the eyes are big, and the nose is big, which is the common style of anger in the statue of Western fan. ”

"Statues. Chest. Dew. Abdomen, waist tied short skirt, arms, hands are decorated with bracelets, neck and chest are decorated with Yingluo, Yingluo is decorated with leaf-shaped pendants, the right hand holds the Bulaga Ruyi Jewel, the left hand catches this mouse, its name is actually called Tubao Mouse, it will not excrete, no matter what it eats, it will turn into a Mani orb and spit it out of the mouth......"

"This Treasure Mouse is abnormally large, becoming the most eye-catching place in the whole statue, for collectors, the Treasure Mouse is a symbol of wealth, the bigger the Treasure Rat, the more wealth it has......"

"Overall, this statue should be a 16th-century work from the Tempan region, four or five hundred years old!"

Hearing what Teacher Sha said, Wang Peng was really smiling, and hurriedly asked, "Teacher Sha, can you estimate this statue of the God of Wealth!" ”

Mr. Sha smiled and nodded: "First of all, I want to say a little bit, Buddha statues and the like, we are not good at valuing it, but in the art market, it always has a value, this statue of the Yellow God of Wealth cast in the Western Fan region is a rare similar statue in recent years, whether it is from the shape or from the details, this statue can be described as perfect, is an impeccable work." ”

"So, I think the market value of this yellow god of wealth is ...... 560,000 RMB! ”

"Wow! It's so valuable! ”

"It is worthy of being the God of Wealth, and this is a gift to his family for the New Year!"

"It's a pity, why didn't my ancestors pass down such a treasure......"

There was a burst of exclamation and applause from the audience, and Wang Peng also thanked the expert with a look of surprise, and then he took his things and walked out quickly, ready to tell the good news to his family immediately.

However, an assistant director standing at the exit directly stopped, stopped Wang Peng, told him that he still had an appraisal certificate to take, and then took out a red certificate on the spot, directly asked Mr. Sha to write an appraisal opinion, and asked other experts to sign it, and handed the certificate to Wang Peng, the treasure holder.

"Thank you, teachers......"

When the treasure holder went out to interact with the host outside the venue, the second treasure holder also began to enter.

After the treasure bearer introduced himself, Zou Ying asked with a smile, "Mr. Xu, I don't know what treasure you brought today?" ”

"This is the ......," the bearer pulled out of his pocket an object that looked like a brush shaft.

"Huh!" Zou Ying was slightly stunned: "What is this?" ”

"It's called a cricket probe!" The treasure bearer said with a slight expression.

"Cricket probes? What is it used for? Zou Ying asked with a slight frown.

"Don't we fight crickets sometimes to use grass to provoke the fighting nature of crickets, this probe is used to hold that grass." The treasure bearer explained with a smile.

"Oh~"

Zou Ying suddenly said, "Then where did you get this thing?" ”

The treasure bearer danced and said: "My ancestor was a big official in the Qing Dynasty, and this probe was handed down at that time!" Brought here today, just to determine its value, in case the value is high, we usually don't pay attention, in case it bumps into it, isn't it a pity! ”

"Come on! Let's look at the treasure! ”

"Good!"

After speaking, the treasure bearer took the thing, walked to the expert table, and put the thing in front of Wang Xiangong.

Wang Xiangong picked up the probe and said with a smile: "What this friend just said is right, this probe is an ancient artifact for crickets and grass, and it is a special thing for dignitaries and nobles, and it is a symbol of status. ”

"Oh! In this way, Mr. Xu's ancestor is really a big official! Zou Ying interjected.

Wang Xiangong smiled and nodded: "This probe is made of ivory and carefully carved. The slurry is thick and heavy, and the tooth color is yellow......"

Taking advantage of Wang Xiangong's introduction, Chu Chen, who was sitting next to him, took the things in his hands and played with them.

There are two groups of moire decoration on the surface of the probe, and three groups of children are decorated with the theme in the middle, and the flowers of the landscape are used in between. The three groups of children are hide-and-seek, cricket-hunting, and playing musical instruments. The composition of the upper vessel is dense and complex, the carving is fine, the characters are vivid and expressive, and it is a fine product of ivory carving in the Qing Dynasty, which is extremely rare.

"All in all, such an elegant and exquisite Qing Dynasty ivory probe is very rare." Wang Xiangong concluded.

The treasure bearer hurriedly asked happily, "Mr. Wang, how much is this probe of mine worth?" ”

Wang Xiangong said with a smile: "Cricket fighting has been a pleasing activity among the people of our country since ancient times. Now with the improvement of people's living standards, some people who like this activity have higher and higher requirements for crickets, and their value is increasing day by day. Before talking about the price of this probe, I want to tell you, Zou Ying, do you know how much a cricket costs? ”

Zou Ying shook his head: "I'm more afraid of insects, so I don't like to play with this thing!" ”

"Then let me tell you, a few months ago, a friend of mine bought a cricket with the head of the birthday boy and spent 10,000 yuan!" Wang Xiangong stretched out a finger.

"Ahh Really! Zou Ying looked surprised.

"Of course, this refers to good crickets, and cheap ones don't cost much!"

Wang Xiangong said with a smile: "As the saying goes: play with insects for a while, play a pot for a lifetime." It is precisely because there are more people playing cricket now, the price of cricket utensils has also begun to rise, among them, the auction house of Xiangjiang Christie's in 1998 auctioned a Ming Wanli colorful group of cat pattern petal cricket jars, the transaction price was 735,000 yuan. ”

"If it were now, the auction price of that cricket jar would probably break through to 1.5 million. And a beautiful probe like this should now have a market price of 150,000! And there is still a lot of room for appreciation in the future. ”

I heard that my things could be worth 150,000, and the treasure bearer was grinning so much that his mouth was grinning behind his ears.

"But!" Wang Xiangong said: "This gentleman, because this probe of yours is an ivory product, it is estimated that it will not be sold if it is auctioned!" ”

"That's it!" The treasure bearer was a little regretful for a while, but he immediately raised his spirit and said: "It's okay, I originally came here to understand the value of things, and I didn't think about selling it. Thank you, Mr. Wang......" (To be continued......)
