Chapter 904: Taking advantage of the advantage and suffering a loss

"Good!"

As soon as Chu Chen's words fell, there was a cheer at the scene.

Just as Chu Chen began to appraise, some people in the crowd were worried, which made people who knew him feel very strange, so they asked: "Old man, why are you depressed, are you not happy to have Teacher Chu help you identify?" ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "Of course it's good to have Teacher Chu's appraisal, but I didn't buy anything today, you said that this matter is troublesome, I knew it was like this, I have to buy something anyway!" ”

"What you said, if you don't like it, you have to buy it, isn't there something wrong with your brain!"

The old man smiled: "I don't think it's a pity that I finally met Teacher Chu and didn't let him identify things!" ”

"What's the pity, you guy likes to take advantage, I don't know what to take advantage of, let's let Teacher Chu help identify, it's also for learning, you learn a few more hands than anything else! Moreover, if you really want to take something to Teacher Chu for appraisal, you can buy it now! ”

"Hey! Oh yes......"

The old man clapped his hands, turned around and ran directly towards the antique street.

This situation made the person who spoke just now dumbfounded, he was just a joke, and he didn't expect that the old man would take it seriously, which made him smile bitterly, and he could only hope that the old man would not buy too expensive things for a while, otherwise if it was genuine, it would be fine, if it was a fake, then he would feel a little guilty.

The first thing Chu Chen looked at was Lao Liang's jade, a piece of jade pendant, the jade pendant was not big, and the characteristics were relatively obvious, and he finished reading it after a while.

"Teacher Chu. How's this thing of mine? Lao Liang asked a little nervously.

Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "This jade pendant of yours is not bad, it is a work of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China." But. This jade pendant should have been something of ordinary people at that time, and the texture of the jade material was not very good. And the carving is also ordinary, which has some impact on the value of the jade pendant, but in general, it is still collectible. ”

Lao Liang listened to Chu Chen's explanation, and said with a smile: "I didn't buy this jade pendant in the first place, and I am already very satisfied if it is a genuine product." Teacher Chu, let me ask you again, how much is a jade pendant worth now? ”

"About eight hundred!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chu......"

After Lao Liang left with the jade pendant, someone immediately stepped forward with something for Chu Chen to identify.

The next few things to come up with. Like Lao Liang's jade pendant, the characteristics are very obvious in Chu Chen's eyes, some of which are true and some are fake, but even if they are genuine, none of them are worth more than 10,000.

Soon, Chu Chen identified the final, a pastel flower bowl.

"This is a pastel flower bowl, we see that there is a Qing Dynasty Tongzhi year system at the bottom, this is a stamp model. The painting is very fine, and at the same time, the happy characters on the outer wall are also very fine, and the flowers are also very good. Something like this in general used to be the same class. Four bowls, four plates, and spoons, etc. However, other things like this set may have been scattered until now, or there may be only one left......"

Hear this further. The owner of the bowl hurriedly asked, "Teacher Chu, is this bowl genuine?" ”

"It's the real thing."

Seeing Chu Chen nodding. The owner of the bowl was very happy, and then asked, "Is that a private kiln or an official kiln?" ”

"It's a folk kiln." Chu Chen replied: "Because the official kiln does not have such a stamp model, but although your bowl is from a private kiln, it is still good, especially the gold edge of the mouth, which has not been damaged at all until now, and it is very rare, and the market value of the site should be about five hundred." ”

Although the owner of the bowl felt a little pity, after learning the value of this bowl, a smile appeared on his face, at least he didn't lose money.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu!"

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, then looked around, and found that there was no one to take out anything, so he was about to leave, but just as he was about to speak, he saw a middle-aged man running over panting, shouting as he ran.

"Teacher Chu, wait a minute......"

Someone next to him immediately said: "Teacher Chu, please wait a minute, the old man didn't have anything for you to identify just now, so he went to buy one temporarily, if you don't give him an appraisal, it is estimated that he won't be able to sleep at night." ”

As soon as the words fell, the old man ran to everyone, panting heavily.

Seeing this, Chu Chen smiled and said, "This gentleman, you better rest for a while, I will definitely help you appreciate the treasure." However, I want to criticize you for such behavior, we buy things only when we are optimistic, like you are in a hurry to buy, but it is easy to travel cuò, if you really have a business trip, I don't want to go! ”

The old man smiled and said, "It's not because it's rare to meet you, but don't worry, this thing of mine is really not expensive, even if it's wrong, there's nothing to feel sorry for." Well, please see how it goes! ”

Chu Chen smiled and shook his head, the other party said so, what else could he say? Then, he took the thing in his hand and looked at it, but this look made him slightly stunned, because this thing is an old thing, not to mention, it may be a real thing.

The old man took a copper bottle, which is about ten centimeters high, with an extravagant mouth edge, a neck, a slanted shoulder and a bulging abdomen, a round bottom of the bottle, and a circle of feet. The shoulder of the bottle is inlaid with silver filigree ornamental belt, imitating the bronze animal face pattern of Shang Zhou, and there is a cloud and thunder pattern. The relief double beast face and, fine workmanship, the eyebrows and face of the beast head are also inlaid with silver wire. The color of the whole utensil is warm and moist, and it is ancient and beautiful. There is a "Shisuo" seal book in the flat bottom circle foot.

Qi Baofu happened to be standing next to Chu Chen, and when he saw the style of the copper bottle, he suddenly sighed lightly: "Hey, it's actually still the 'Shisuo' seal book!" ”

Fang Jinbo hurriedly asked, "Brother Qi, who is this 'Shisuo'?" ”

Qi Baofu explained with a smile: "Shi Su was the most famous smelting expert and art sculpture master in the late Ming Dynasty. He inherited the traditional copper casting process, mastered the copper inlay silver wire technology, and was good at making silver inlaid bronze ware. ”

Fang Jinbo asked again: "This person is so famous, why haven't I seen his works in my daily life?" ”

Qi Baofu replied: "Shi Sue has not passed on his art to descendants, so his works are precious and rare. For example, the British Museum in England has a collection of bronze Buddhas and copper incense burners in Shisuo, which are listed as the most important art in the Orient and are called 'the greatest artists of ancient China'. You have to memorize a character like this, otherwise it would be a pity to see a treasure one day and miss it. ”

Fang Jinbo smiled and said, "After listening to your introduction, Brother Qi, of course I won't forget it!" But is this the work of Shi Chau? ”

Qi Baofu said: "It's really hard to say, judging from the pulp of this copper bottle, it should be an old thing, but the Qing Dynasty also saw a lot of 'Shisuo' bronze ware, whether it is really imitation, it still depends on the results given by Mr. Chu." ”

Between the two of them, Chu Chen identified the things, he cleared his throat, and was about to speak, when he saw a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old young man rushing up from the side, he grabbed the old man's hand, gasped and said:

"Old man, you belong to the rabbit, you run so fast! I sue you, the price you put out is definitely not good, no matter what, I can't do a loss-making business! ”

"Okay, okay! Isn't it two hundred more, I'll give it to you right away! ”

Originally, the young man thought that this matter would take a lot of trouble, but he didn't expect the old man to agree so happily, which made him think for a while that the sun was not coming out in the west.

However, just as the young man was about to take the money from the old man, he saw the smiling looks of the people around him, and saw that his bottle was actually in the hands of a young man, which made him feel strange At the same time, he immediately realized that there must be a problem that he had not thought of for the time being.

"Wait! What are you doing here, old man! The young man asked with a smile.

In this situation, the old man really doesn't know how to deal with it, which makes him hesitant at the same time, he complains to himself in his heart, why don't he buy things quickly!

Now, with Chu Chen's solemn expression, even if this thing is not genuine, it should be a very valuable imitation, if the other party learns the truth, will he still sell it to himself?

A man next to him who knew that the elderly liked to take advantage of it said with a smile: "Old man, I told you a long time ago, don't like to take advantage of things too much, you have to give people a mouthful of soup when you eat meat, now retribution is coming!" You, don't hide it, Teacher Chu is still in a hurry! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The old man glanced back at the man who had spoken.

The young man wanted to know what was going on, and the more angry the old man was, the more he felt that there was something wrong with it, so he said, "Hey! Old man, tell me what the hell is going on, if you don't say it, I'll give you back the money and get the things back! ”

Seeing this, Chu Chen secretly shook his head, there would definitely be disputes between the two sides in this situation, but now it was almost the time agreed with Uncle Wu and them just now, he really didn't have time to spend here, so he said:

"Mr. Nian, I'm leaving soon, if you have no opinion, I'll just say it."

The old man had no choice, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher Chu, just say it." ”

Chu Chen nodded, and then said: "This bottle is beautiful, ingeniously conceived, original, natural and smooth, giving people a sense of beauty and infinite reverie. The whole should be the smelting method of wind-ground copper, which looks warm and brilliant on the surface. ”

"In addition, from the point of view of craftsmanship, it should be painted on the copper body first, and then pick the groove and inlay the silver wire. That is, first pick the groove on the bronze, then lie on the silver wire, form different patterns, and embed the silver wire in the groove, so that the embedded silver wire and the surface of the bronze are flat, and the process is extremely difficult. Coupled with the author's superb painting skills, it can be called a perfect combination of painting and sculpture. ”

In addition, the style of this bottle is also very distinctive, it should be written with a seal, and then the groove is inlaid with silver wire. All of the above are in line with the craftsmanship characteristics of Shisuo, so I think this copper bottle should be a genuine product made of Shisuo! (To be continued......)
