Chu Chen introduced his guess to several people present.

At the same time, everyone suddenly realized, and they also felt very strange in their hearts that Chu Chen would know so much about the method of cheating. If they didn't know that Chu Chen was a well-known expert, and judging from the way he dressed, he shouldn't be the master who was short of money, otherwise, they would all think that Chu Chen might be a counterfeiter of ancient porcelain.

If Chu Chen knew what they were thinking, he would definitely smile bitterly, who told him to have a well-informed teacher? And this teacher has always asked him to memorize these methods of imitating ancient porcelain, fortunately he has the ability to remember, otherwise these materials alone can make his head bigger.

At this time, Brother Zhang thought of a question, so he asked, "Teacher Chu, is the black liquid around that crack just now an asphalt solution?" ”

Chu Chen said: "Yes, that jar should be made of asphalt. ”

The asphalt solution is a commonly used method for antique porcelain, which first dissolves the asphalt in the gasoline, and then applies the asphalt solution to the surface of the utensils, and then uses detergents such as detergent powder to remove the excess asphalt. In this way, it is possible to imitate the old appearance of the heirloom product.

However, the "old appearance" generally processed with asphalt solution has a single color, lacks a sense of layering, and sometimes has traces of brushing. And as long as you use a cotton swab to dip 120# solvent gasoline to apply the stain, if the stain is dissolved immediately, it is the asphalt solution that is old.

Chu Chen estimated that there would be a bitumen solution around the cracks in the jar, and it was possible that the counterfeiter poured the solution into the bottle for shabu-shabu. A crack in the foot caused the asphalt solution to seep out and contaminate part of the foot. Since it is not obvious. Counterfeiters may be too lazy to remove them.

At this time, Brother Zhang and others were interested in the authenticity of Xiao Guo's porcelain. No more doubts. Considering that Chu Chen had been delayed for so long, the group expressed their gratitude to Chu Chen for his explanation. Then he was ready to say goodbye and leave.

However, at this moment, Brother Zhang's mobile phone suddenly rang, he picked up the phone, didn't say a few words, put down the phone, and hurriedly said to Chu Chen: "Teacher Chu, Xiao Guo's master wants to invite you to his shop to sit, do you have time?" If you don't have time. He said he would take Xiao Guo to your store another day to make amends! ”

Anyway, he doesn't have anything to do, and it's nothing to go there, but Chu Chen has to know who the other party is in advance, after all, not everyone has a very good relationship with him on the entire antique street.

So, Chu Chen asked, "I don't know who Xiao Guo's master is?" ”

Brother Zhang replied: "Xiao Guo's master is the shopkeeper Peng of Yaxiangzhai. ”

Yaxiangzhai is mainly engaged in spices, as well as antique shops such as aromatherapy stoves, this store has been open for a long time, and Chu Chen is also familiar with this shopkeeper Peng. In addition, they are all people from the Beijing Antique Association, what's the matter, Chu Chen has to give him a face.

"Okay, then I'll go over right away......"

Seeing Chu Chen agree. Brother Zhang said a few more words to the mobile phone, and then prepared to leave, after all, the meaning of the shopkeeper Peng was very clear. I just want Xiao Guo to apologize to Chu Chen, if they go together. But there is a suspicion of watching jokes.

Before leaving, though. Brother Zhang smiled and asked, "Teacher Chu, you also open a store here?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and pointed to the door of his store and said, "This porcelain Yizhai is opened by me!" ”

"Ahh It turns out that you opened this shop! ”

Brother Zhang, they were all a little surprised, you know, this porcelain Yizhai is now very popular in the antique street, in addition to the fact that in addition to some high-priced high-quality melamine porcelain here are genuine, the endless high-end jade jewelry has also made it a place frequented by many dignitaries.

Moreover, Brother Zhang, they also heard that the background of the owner of Porcelain Yizhai is very strong, even if the business is good, no one dares to come here to make trouble, which has also become a hot topic in the antique market.

Although Brother Zhang and they had also heard that the boss of Porcelain Yizhai was surnamed Chu, they didn't expect it to be Chu Chen. After all, Chu Chen is too young, and Chu Chen looks very humble, not at all like a boss with a strong background.

Therefore, when they learned that Chu Chen was the owner of this antique shop, they were so surprised.

"Can I lie to you about this?" Chu Chen said with a smile.

"Where! Where ......" everyone said it was just too much of a surprise.

Then Brother Zhang said: "Teacher Chu, we won't delay your time......

Bidding farewell to the very polite Brother Zhang and the others, Chu Chen went straight to the Yaxiangzhai he just said, and as soon as he walked to the door, he smelled a faint fragrance, and from the smell analysis, it should be a combined spice.

Walking into the store, Chu Chen found that an old man in his fifties was reprimanding Xiao Guo with a stern face, and Xiao Guo stood aside with his head down and silent.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen smiled secretly, although the old man's expression did have some hatred for iron and steel, he could still see that the scene in front of him should have been deliberately made by the old man, as for the purpose, it was self-evident.

As soon as the old man saw Chu Chen coming in, he hurriedly scolded Xiao Guo loudly: "Don't apologize to the shopkeeper Chu yet!" ”

"Shopkeeper Chu, I'm sorry, I was not good just now, I shouldn't be so rude, and I shouldn't be so unreasonable......"

Xiao Guo lowered his eyebrows and apologized to Chu Chen sincerely, but how did Chu Chen look at it, how did he feel that Xiao Guo seemed to be a child who had done something wrong and was reviewing it to the teacher, this feeling made him feel very funny.

Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I also had an eye at the beginning, and there are quite a few, I can understand your feelings." ”

Seeing Chu Chen's attitude, he should really not care about this matter, Shopkeeper Peng also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as a member of the Beijing Antique Association, he knew how deep Chu Chen's background was, if his apprentice really made Chu Chen angry, then it was likely that there would be no good fruits to eat in the future.

"This apprentice of mine is very smart, but his psychological endurance is really poor, and he still needs to exercise more in the future!" Seeing that Xiao Guo was standing stupidly and didn't say anything, Shopkeeper Peng sighed secretly in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Thank you Shopkeeper Chu yet!" ”

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chu!"

"Go and get the brocade box on the table in the back room."

Shopkeeper Peng waved his hand to Xiao Guo, then invited Chu Chen to sit down, and after pouring him a cup of tea, he smiled bitterly: "This apprentice of mine is sometimes too clever, and I don't know when he will be able to become a teacher!" ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Peng, you don't have to worry too much, just like when you first entered this industry, your personality is more introverted than your apprentice, and after a few years of training, at least you can be considered qualified!" ”

Shopkeeper Peng shook his head: "How can he compare with Shopkeeper Chu, me, as long as he can have half of yours, I can burn high incense......"

The two chatted for a while, and saw Xiao Guo walking out of the back room with a brocade box and putting the box on the table.

Shopkeeper Peng opened the lid of the box, and then pushed the box in front of Chu Chen: "Shopkeeper Chu, see if you like this thing!" ”

Chu Chen took a look, there was a peacock blue glaze plate inside, the glaze was smooth and thin, the glaze was bright and bright, and it was pleasing to the eye, but this thing knew that it was worth a lot at a glance, and listening to the meaning of the shopkeeper Peng, it seemed to be transferred to him.

So, Chu Chen raised his head, frowned lightly and asked, "Shopkeeper Peng, what do you mean by this?" ”

Shopkeeper Peng smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Chu, you look first, rest assured!" I'm not giving it to you, and to be honest, I'm reluctant to give it to you! ”

"Okay, then I'll take a look!" Chu Chen nodded and took out the plate.

Peacock blue glaze, also known as "French blue", is a low-temperature color glaze with copper as the colorant and a bright blue hue after firing. Generally, the blue glaze is fired at high temperature, and the glaze is not easy to fall off. Peacock blue glaze is a low-temperature glaze. Hanging glaze on green billet, or hanging glaze on white glaze for a second time. Because some of the utensils have a greenish color, some people also name them "peacock green" or "facui".

Peacock blue glaze belongs to the traditional glaze of West Asia, has a long history, and was introduced into China very early, and three peacock blue glazed pottery vases were unearthed in the tomb of Liu Hua, the king of Fujian during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The official kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties all fired peacock blue glazeware, and the hue and enamel of each dynasty were different.

The peacock blue glaze plate in Chu Chen's hand is a treasure, this vessel is open, solitary abdomen, circle feet, green glaze inside, the center of the plate is secretly engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns, the carving is powerful, vivid and vivid, and the inner edge is secretly engraved with a wave pattern, the lines are smooth, beautiful and natural.

There are two dark carved string pattern decorations on the outer edge and near the foot respectively, and the theme pattern is painted with nine cloud dragon patterns, with different forms, churning on the river cliff and sea water, and the peacock blue glaze is applied outside, and the glaze is shiny. The bottom is exposed, and the outer edge is engraved with the six-character regular script of "Ming Xuande Year".

Peacock blue glaze blue and white products have been made in the Jin and Yuan dynasties, but the color of cobalt material is obviously black, which is not only related to the immature firing technology and the direct application of peacock blue glaze into the kiln to fire the carcass, but also may be related to the naked burning of cobalt material when making suò tires, and the oxidation of blue and white to blacken.

The peacock blue glazed plate in Chu Chen's hand has a good color of cobalt, and there are no traces of zài naked burning and blackening. Carefully observing the edge of the plate, it can also be found that the connecting surface of the secondary peacock blue low-temperature glaze and the primary high-temperature glaze is exposed.

Chu Chen speculated that this may be the secondary process of firing a high-temperature plain tire with glaze on the inside and no glaze on the outside, and then using cobalt to paint the outer side and apply peacock blue glaze to fire, so as to ensure the ideal color of blue and white under the glaze.

However, in any case, this peacock blue glaze should be the characteristics of the authentic Xuande official kiln in the Ming Dynasty, and from the characteristics of the fetal quality of the plate, Chu Chen can confirm that it is indeed a genuine product.

Because the peacock blue glaze is a low-temperature glaze, the glaze is thinner, and it is very difficult to fire, therefore, the peacock blue glaze is scarce and rare, and because the glaze is thin, it is easy to peel off after a long time, so it is more difficult to preserve.

The peacock blue glaze plate in front of me during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty has gone through hundreds of years and the glaze is still intact, which can be said to be an unavoidable thing, which is very rare. (To be continued......)
