Chapter 112: One Ship, Ten Tombs (2)
There were a total of three women on the Maria, and Wang Chenhao quickly guessed that she was Qiao Yuying, a treasure expert sent by Qiao Zhiyuan. That morning, under Qiao Zhiyuan's recommendation, he just met her, because in Wang Chenhao's eyes, the treasure experts should be a white-bearded old man with thick glasses and a magnifying glass with a large magnification, so he subconsciously didn't think that Qiao Yuying had much ability, and planned to find an opportunity to send someone to send her back, but he forgot about it in the past two days.
Wang Chenhao was about to find an excuse to send her back, so the thought flashed in his mind, and he was about to try him, so he smiled and said: "Miss Qiao came just in time, I just wanted to ask, how much is this bowl worth?" ”
Qiao Yuying took the porcelain bowl from Wang Chenhao's hand, and glanced at several masters next to her with a pair of beautiful eyes unique to Jiangnan women, and finally stopped on Wang Chenhao's face. She seemed to see through Wang Chenhao's thoughts, so she smiled lightly, and while fiddling with the porcelain bowl in front of the sun, she explained: "Looking at its glaze white flash blue, green white, glaze translucent, light and shadow, this is the unique shadow celadon craft in Jingdezhen in the Song Dynasty." ”
Several masters next to him suddenly showed a smug look, but Qiao Yuying didn't finish speaking, only listened to her continue: "However, although it is a Jingdezhen process, its carcass is thicker, not for entering the palace but specially designed for exporting overseas, because the thick carcass of long-distance sea bumps is the most suitable, which should be made by the brother kiln in Zhejiang." ”
Qiao Yuying overturned the appraisal results of several masters, which surprised everyone. One of the old masters surnamed Liang re-appraised, and then said to Qiao Yuying with a surprised face: "Sure enough, although this bowl is Jingdezhen technology, this carcass is one point thicker than that made in Jingdezhen. ”
Qiao Yuying's appraisal of this porcelain bowl was reasonable and well-founded, which impressed Wang Chenhao. However, Wang Chenhao saw that it was not a porcelain bowl from Jingdezhen, and the price would be greatly discounted, so he suddenly showed a look of disappointment and asked, "Then this bowl is not worth 10,000 taels?" ”
Qiao Yuying said: "This bowl is not inferior to the craftsmanship made in Jingdezhen, in terms of value, this kind of bowl is only used for export, and it is difficult to see it in China." Shanghai Baozhi Store has such a bowl from the Northern Song Dynasty, as the treasure of the town, if it is estimated, it is worth at least 20,000 taels. ”
Wang Chenhao asked: "Is this true?" ”
Qiao Yuying frowned slightly, a little unhappy with Wang Chenhao's questioning of her ability, and replied with a slight resentment: "Of course! ”
Wang Chenhao chuckled, and suddenly his face was happy, he really underestimated her before secretly begging her, it seems that she still has some ability.
At this time, the master surnamed Liang asked Qiao Yuying, "I wonder if Miss Qiao knows the late Yanqing senior?" ”
Qiao Yuying replied, "It's the first teacher." ”
Master Liang suddenly came to his senses, and said respectfully: "It turned out to be a senior disciple of Yanqing's predecessors, no wonder he has this ability, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful." ”
When the others heard that Qiao Yuying was actually a high-ranking disciple of Yanqing, they all showed envy and admiration.
Where did Wang Chenhao understand this, seeing that several masters were so respectful to Qiao Yuying, he asked, "Who is this Yanqing?" ”
Master Liang replied: "My lord doesn't know, this interlaced line is like a mountain, everyone in our treasure industry knows Yan Qing's seniors, he can be said to be the leader of our industry, his ability is unmatched, Miss Qiao must have the true inheritance of his old man, no wonder he has this ability at a young age." Since the adults have invited Miss Qiao to take the town, why bother to find the old decay to come over and offer ugliness? ”
"This-" Wang Chenhao suddenly smiled bitterly, how did he know that the girl in front of him had such a ability. After a pause, Wang Chenhao had an idea and hurriedly explained: "Isn't this too much work? You see that Miss Qiao is more delicate than Huajiao, isn't it too tiring to be busy alone? Find a few fellow masters to share the burden. ”
Wang Chenhao's explanation made Qiao Yuying angry and funny, if she usually picked her son and left, but Wang Chenhao was kind to the Qiao family, although Qiao Yuying was wronged, she had to stay and help. However, her strong surname still couldn't help but squeeze her words: "Do you think that the adults are going to invite another master?" It turned out to be a little girl. Then the little woman thanked the adults? ”
Wang Chenhao suddenly smiled awkwardly: "You're welcome." ”
Two hours later, the first large cabin was completely emptied. This cabin is basically a cabin dedicated to storing dishes. A total of more than 20,000 pieces were salvaged, of which there are more than 4,000 shadow celadon bowls in the brother kiln, and the others are shadow celadon plates matched with the bowls, more than 16,000.
Li Guodong took the statistics sheet and said to Wang Chenhao excitedly: "My lord, a bowl is 20,000 taels, and more than 4,000 bowls alone are worth 80 million taels, this time you have made a fortune." ”
Wang Chenhao nodded, and his joy was silent.
Qiao Yuying snorted coldly, and said to them: "A shadow celadon bowl can be sold for fifty thousand taels, and it is already very reluctant to sell five hundred, and it is impossible to sell more than four thousand at this price." ”
Scarcity is precious, this law Wang Chenhao knows. It's just that he looked at Qiao Yuying in surprise, he didn't expect her to have this knowledge, it seemed that she really underestimated her.
At this time, Wang Chenhao had already changed his opinion of Qiao Yuying, and this was the first time he looked at her head-on. I saw that she had a round face and big eyes, and her cherry mouth could also reflect her delicate and lovely without rouge. He was dressed in a light blue satin dress with a large bow tied around her thin waist. A plum hairpin is inserted in a simple bun, and the long hair hangs down to the waist like a black waterfall, simple and elegant.
On the whole, Qiao Yuying has the image of a beautiful lady in the south of the Yangtze River, and she is a beauty.
Qiao Yuying saw Wang Chenhao looking her up and down, although she was a little shy, her strong surname asked her to adopt the tactics of attacking instead of defending.
"It seems that this is the first time since I got on the boat that my lord is looking at someone directly?"
Wang Chenhao knew that Qiao Yuying was still blaming him for being cold to her for the past two days, so he said apologetically: "This official business is busy, and I neglected Miss Qiao for a while, and I also invited Miss Qiao Haihan to one or two." ”
Qiao Yuying's big eyes stared at Wang Chenhao's expression and blinked a few times, and then couldn't help but laugh, and said with a smile: "The dignified first-class master actually said soft words to the little girl, your lord, you are really very special!" If there were other big officials, I am afraid that I would have to yell at the little woman now. ”
Wang Chenhao smiled slightly: "Is harmony profitable!" ”
Qiao Yuying smiled, agreeing with Wang Chenhao's point of view. In the following time, Qiao Yuying got Wang Chenhao's approval, and as the chief appraisal expert, she led Master Liang and others to carry out the identification of cultural relics. Under her command, the team members marked the price of the sorted cultural relics, and then classified and stored them according to the value of the cultural relics.
Since ancient times, China has had the traditional virtue of leaving good things to others, and the cultural relics on the "Nanhai No. 1" shipwreck are all exported products of the Song Dynasty, so these porcelains are the best works of the time, representing the highest level of craftsmanship at that time, and the value is even more extraordinary.
After more than 20,000 cultural relics were salvaged from the first large cabin, the second cabin was also chiseled, where the entire shipwreck was located, the largest area, and naturally there were more things inside. Like precious porcelain, including white glaze square holding pots, blue glaze flower bowls, green and white glazed plates, green and white glazed petal mouth curly grass pattern plates, etc., not only a single priceless, but also a huge quantity.
Several old appraisers were excited to see such a huge number of treasures unearthed, and some even trembled with their hands and sweated, and sighed: "I have been engaged in porcelain research for a lifetime, but I have never seen so many porcelain treasures, many of which have not only not been seen, but have never even heard of them!" ”
Even Qiao Yuying, who is well-informed, couldn't help but sigh when she held a complete green and white glazed dish and looked at a large number of identical green and white glazed plates: "Even the master only has a small fragment of this saucer, I didn't expect that there are so many preserved in the world, so complete!" ”
