In the face of everyone's instigation, Yu Sheng'an pointed to the mammoth tooth carving and said: "Xin Ye, look at the tip of the tooth, it is above He Xiangu, there should have been a wave, it is estimated that it was knocked off, and then it was worn off, this detail seems inconspicuous, you can still see it if you look closely, the carving is not in the right direction, and the pulp is obviously very thin." ”

"And the lower right corner, which is the one at Zhong Liquan's feet, the color is black, it's not a natural color, if I'm not mistaken, it may be that when I soaked ivory with acetic acid, I accidentally stained it with other pigments and seeped in."

Unlike ordinary animal teeth, ivory is not protected by enamel, so it is very acid-resistant.

Strong acids can corrode it, and weak acids can soften it.

Therefore, the ivory carving master will generally soak the ivory in acetic acid to soften it, and then carry out carving processing, so that there will be a feeling of relieving the cow.

"And ......" Yu Sheng'an turned around, stood at the oblique corner of the glass cabinet and said: "In the gourd tooth ball under Tie Guan Li's buttocks, the tooth ball inside has a crack, this is not a carving error, or it is not properly preserved and cracked, Xin Ye, you can see it when you stand at this angle." ”

"Where? Where, let me see? I'll see. ”

The first two are just that, and they don't understand it even if they are not experts, and the third crack can be seen by anyone.

Suddenly, everyone was excited, and they rushed to Yu Sheng'an's position and stretched out their heads to look up.

"Oh, it seems to be true."

"Where? Why didn't I see it? ”

"Shopkeeper Liu, you are really treacherous, you put the crack of the tooth ball on it, just blocking the crack, if it weren't for Mr. Yu's good eyes, he really wouldn't have found it."

"Awesome! This look is absolutely amazing, this can be found! ”

With the discovery of the crack in the tooth ball, everyone was in a sensation.

This detail may seem inconspicuous, but in fact, it has a great impact on the value of ivory carving. After all, the tooth ball can be called one of the highlights of this tooth carving.

The goatee man had a constipated expression on his face, stiffened his neck, and said forcefully: "Go, go, how can there be a perfect object in this world?" ”

Everyone laughed and stopped ridiculing.

"Anything else?" Xin Ye asked.

"It's not there for a while, and I can only see so much through the glass." For the rest of his life, he actually knew a flaw, but that was at the ivory base, he couldn't say this, right?

When the words fell, Shopkeeper Liu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he has a three-point fear of this afterlife.

Let him look at it again, I'm really afraid that he will pick a bone in his eggs and devalue his ivory carving to worthless.

"That's good, that's good, don't leave in the afternoon, I'll apply for it, and I'll give you a palm." Xin Ye said.

"Okay, no problem." Yu Sheng'an nodded.

"By the way, where did it come from?"

"At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, it is almost the same as what is introduced in the information, so I won't say much about this."

"It's good, it's just an old thing." Xin Ye also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Mammoth Tooth Carving has risen in popularity after Yu Sheng'an's tasting, and many people have come to watch, and the goatee man looked at Yu Sheng'an's gaze for a while, which can be described as love and hate.

There are a lot of people here, and Yu Sheng'an, who has completed the task, will not join in the fun, say goodbye to Xin Ye, and stroll around the exhibition hall.

Xin Ye also went to see other objects.

There are about 20 exhibits in the banquet hall, almost all of which are high-quality products, and most of the people who come here, except for a small number of intending buyers, are still people in the circle to increase their knowledge.

There is also a small number of palm-eyed people invited by the buyer.

No, in front of almost every booth, there are people whispering to each other.

There are also people who talk eloquently, which attracts a lot of people's attention.

The rest of his life walked in peace, and when he met a bunch of people, he joined in the fun, while listening to other people's explanations, while listening to antiques, and under the confirmation of the two, he felt that he had learned a lot.

Time flies and passes.

I don't know how long it took, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the banquet hall, and Yu Sheng'an looked up and saw a large group of people suddenly gathered at the door.

It seems that some important guest is being greeted, and the atmosphere is very warm!

The crowd gradually flowed towards the center of the banquet hall, and in the flow of the crowd, Yu Sheng'an glanced at it and saw a white-haired old man who was surrounded by everyone, walking in the middle, and smiling and clenching his fists at everyone around him.

The moment he saw this old man, Yu Sheng'an was shocked.

Because this person is none other than the deputy editor-in-chief of the "Forbidden City Cultural Relics Dictionary" I met in the library a few days ago - Yang Xin!

Yu Sheng was stunned, and finally understood why such a big bull in the industry appeared in Beijiang City.

It turned out that I was participating in the Hetuo Exchange Meeting!

"It's Yang Lao!"

"Oh, he's the old man? It's better to see than to hear. ”

"I've heard the name of the old man for a long time, but I didn't expect to see it today."

It is said that young people chase stars, but they have not seen the scene of middle-aged people chasing stars.

With the appearance of Yang Lao, the banquet hall was boiling in an instant, and countless people flocked away, whether they knew each other or not, they all greeted excitedly.

One by one, like a swordsman who has just entered the rivers and lakes, he saw the old-timers who have been famous for a long time and are lonely and seeking defeat.

That feeling is a worship from the heart!

Yu Sheng watched quietly, to be honest, he planned to make money with antique behavior, and he couldn't empathize with everyone's fanaticism, but a smile still appeared on his face.

He still admires this serious and interesting old man.

If nothing else, the old engraved manuscript compiled twenty years ago is rarely wrong. This is easy for him to recognize.

The crowd was moving, passing by for the rest of his life.

Yang Lao, who was friendly and fist-hugging at everyone around him, suddenly stopped, and at this moment, the crowd also stopped.

Everyone was wondering, only to see Yang Lao suddenly smiling and beckoning in one direction, looking like a retired old man, calling for a good grandson.

Everyone was surprised, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Yang Lao's beckoning.

Everyone in this direction knew in their hearts, knowing that it was impossible for Yang Lao to greet him, and they turned back one by one.

In turning back, one sees a young man standing outside the crowd.

The young man looked blankly at the countless people who were looking at him, then stretched out his hand and pointed at himself, looking at Elder Yang with an inquiring look.

Yang Lao nodded and beckoned again.

Yu Sheng'an finally made sure that Yang Lao was waving at him, and hurriedly trotted over in a rather excited mood.

At this time, the onlookers also subconsciously divided a passage to let him pass.

"Who is this greeting?" In the other direction, Xin Ye and Fei Hong, who were crowded in the crowd, stretched out their heads on tiptoe to look around, their faces full of curiosity.

You must know that Yang Lao's status in the circle can be called the most top-notch handful of people, but they are art historians, calligraphy and painting connoisseurs, especially the way of calligraphy and painting appraisal, self-esteem is second, few dare to say first.

The few bigwigs who can be invited by Beijiang City are almost all next to him, so who else can make him stop and stretch out his hand to say hello?

For a while, the curiosity in Xin Ye's heart was about to kill the cat!

As he looked forward to it, he finally saw someone coming.

It's just that the moment he saw the person coming, his head banged, as if he had been hit by five thunderbolts, and his scalp suddenly went numb.
