Chapter 22: Wang De's Investigation

Yang Lao's answer is...... A horn of whale horns! ”

With Wang De's announcement, the scene once again set off a wave!

"What a horned whale!"

"What is a horned whale?"

"Mr. Yu is really a famous teacher and a high apprentice, he is so good at a young age! It's amazing, it's amazing, the future is limitless! ”

"Alas! I should have thought of it a long time ago! ”

"I've heard of the name of the horned whale for a long time, but I didn't expect to see it here."

The scene was chaotic, with exclamations, sighs, confusions, and praises, which can be described as endless, one after another.

Although Yang Lao is a master of calligraphy and painting, everyone does not doubt the identification of his teeth.

It's not that there is a one-size-fits-all approach, but that there are very few appraisers who specialize in miscellaneous items, and many appraisers are more or less involved in miscellaneous matters.

What's more, Yang Lao?

This is the former vice president of the Palace Museum, what haven't you seen? It's not surprising to recognize a horn of whale horns at a glance.

I never thought about it, but at this moment, someone suddenly said: "No, Yu Sheng'an is talking about a horn of whale teeth, and Yang Lao is talking about a horn of whale horns?" ”

That familiar voice made Yu Sheng'an subconsciously follow the sound, it was no one else who spoke, it was Chu Yuntian Chu Zong!

Yu Sheng'an couldn't help but shake his head, this guy's vindictiveness is really strong, it's just ghostly!

"What's the difference?" Someone didn't hear it clearly, and subconsciously asked.

"One is a horn and the other is a tooth, do you think there is a difference?" Chu Yuntian asked rhetorically.

"yes!"

"Alas, what a failure!"

"However, it's not bad, I can guess that it's a horned whale, it's already very powerful!"

"yes, it's really remarkable to be able to do this at such a young age."

On the high sofa, someone deliberately sighed.

That appearance seems fair, but in fact, the subtext still says that Yu Sheng'an was wrong.

Psychologically, I still can't stand the fact that my vision is not as good as that of a junior!

When Chu Yuntian saw this scene, a sneer appeared on his face.

The enemy is very red when he sees him, he just can't see the scenery for the rest of his life! is to bite the text and chew the words to ruin his appraisal and hit his prestige!

"A horn of whale teeth is a horn of whale horns!"

No, Yang Lao suddenly opened his mouth.

As soon as he spoke, the scene immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes looked at him.

"Actually, a whale's tooth is the most accurate way to put it forward." Yang Lao said again.

Wow –

There was an uproar at the scene.

"How can teeth and horns be confused?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Yang Lao can't be mistaken, let's listen to what Yang Lao has to say first."

Everyone was incredulous, and someone directly asked, "Yang Lao, why do you say that?" ”

Yang Lao smiled: "Don't blame everyone for misunderstanding, few people know this detail!" A horn of whale horn, in fact, it is a tooth protruding, piercing the skin, spiral growth, because it looks like a horn, so the common name has always been called horn. ”

Everyone became more and more confused when they heard this!

Nature is amazing, isn't it? And this sassy operation?

It turned out to be a whale that lived in the deep sea and had a long spiral-shaped one-horned whale.

Its horns, which are called horns, are actually teeth!

It turns out that when a male horned whale is about a year old, the left tooth will protrude, puncture the skin, and spiral growth, forming a horn-like existence.

Therefore, there is a 2 in 1,000 chance that a male horn will have two horns, and the fundamental reason is that his right tooth is also protruding.

In other words, it can be understood that the canine teeth pierce the lips and grow into horns.

So essentially, it's teeth!

Because the horned whale lives in the deep sea and is active in the Arctic Circle, it is very rare and the population is small, and the horn is very expensive due to its rarity.

It has surpassed the ivory rhino horn!

Because of its rarity, in the medieval West, it was even considered evidence of the existence of unicorns, making it once the finale of the major royal families in Europe!

The reason why Great Britain uses the unicorn as a royal symbol is that it originated from a horned whale tooth!

In the 14th century, Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire, even paid off the state debt of Bayreuth in France with two horns.

In fact, not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times when the mystery has been solved, the value of a horn is still very high, far exceeding that of other horns!

It is even less common in China, because collectors who worship a horn are mainly concentrated in the West.

This is also the fundamental reason why most people on the scene don't know or even think of it at all.

With Yang Lao's explanation, everyone finally suddenly realized, and their eyes looking at Yu Sheng'an one by one were full of amazement!

That's the real thing!

As for Chu Yuntian, his face was green, and he left here in a gloomy way while others weren't paying attention.

Yang Lao looked at Yu Sheng'an and asked, "Have you ever seen a horn of whale horns?" ”

Yu Shengan shook his head honestly: "No, but I have read it in the book." ”

"Amazing!" Yang Lao praised: "I can recognize this as a horn of whale horn, not so much because of my eyesight, but because of experience, after all, the number of tooth horn bone carvings is those, and it is basically determined by the method of elimination." On top of that, I've seen a horn of whale horns, and that's the root of it. ”

"You haven't seen a horn of whale horns, but it is not easy to eliminate and deduce them one by one according to the characteristics of this ivory carving!"

Yu Sheng'an was ashamed to hear this, if he didn't have the ability to listen, he would be a hammer deduction?

It's just that you know the result and direct and act by yourself!

But people don't know that! After seeing Yu Sheng'an's deduction process, and listening to Yang Lao's praise at this time, for a while, his eyes were full of emotion when he looked at Yu Sheng'an.

Many people can no longer look at Yu Sheng'an with the eyes of juniors!

Being able to identify this as a horned whale under the eyes of many famous experts is definitely a real skill.

Many people realized that if Yu Sheng'an went to Yanjing with Yang Lao, it would be fine, and if he stayed in Beijiang City, he would definitely have a place in the Beijiang antique circle.

After the interlude, Yu Sheng'an was left behind, standing next to Yang Lao, listening to everyone chatting and fart.

The topic is basically on antiques, such as who picked up the leak, who has a good thing in his hand, so-and-so wants to buy a certain type of antique, wants to make a series, and enters the title of a master in the industry.

While chatting, Wang De, the owner of Shengyu Auction House, suddenly received a phone call, and his expression immediately changed.

He even covered the phone, said goodbye, and went out to chat for a while before coming back.

It's just that when he came back, his face was ugly.

He walked up to Elder Yang with an apologetic face and said, "Old Man Yang, I'm really sorry, there is something wrong with Ouyang Xiu's letter." ”

As soon as the words came out, the chatting scene fell silent, and everyone pricked up their ears.

Wang De said with a wry smile: "The constant temperature and humidity display cabinet that kept the letter, I don't know how it was broken, when I found it, I don't know how long it has been, the client is very angry, afraid that something will happen to the letter, so I temporarily sent someone to take it away, saying that I was looking for someone to take a look!" ”

"How could this happen?" Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and their faces were stunned.

"Blame me for this! Although additional manpower has been assigned to take care of it, no one in the caretaker understands the constant temperature and humidity display cabinet, so I don't know when it will be broken. Wang De looked ashamed.

"I'm fine, you don't care about me, you follow up and see, don't have a problem with the letter." Yang Lao hurriedly urged.

"Hey!" Wang De nodded again and again, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and left.

The highlight of the exchange meeting was this change, and Yang Lao naturally couldn't stay any longer, so he found an excuse and left the exchange meeting.

Seeing this, Yu Shengan could only sigh with regret.

To be honest, he really wanted to read Ouyang Xiu's letter.

Think about it, when he stood in front of the letter that Ouyang Xiu had also stood on, the magic of the intersection of time and space was fascinating to think about!

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

At noon, Yu Sheng'an, Xin Ye and others had lunch nearby.

In the afternoon, Xin Ye applied to check the mammoth tooth carving of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea alone, and asked Yu Sheng'an to personally use the palm of his hand.

After the palm was completed, Xin Ye wrapped a red envelope for Yu Sheng'an.

Look at the thickness, there are five thousand dollars.

In the circle, Yu Sheng'an's qualifications to take this money are actually quite high.

Yu Sheng'an estimated that Xin Ye was mostly looking at Yang Lao's face.

Xin Ye gives face like this, and the rest of his life is not good, and he doesn't know what to do.

So he politely refused, but he couldn't refuse, so he simply took out one and accepted it, meaning it.

This made Xin Ye shout, the rest of his life An was too polite!

After this incident, Yu Sheng'an went to the exchange meeting for a while, and did not leave until five o'clock in the evening.

No, he just walked to the door of the hotel, and was suddenly called out, and when he turned his head, it was Wang De, the owner of the Shengyu Auction House.

Behind him, followed by several assistants.

"Mr. Yu, hello, hello!" Far away, Wang De stretched out his hand with a smile.

At this time, he could no longer see the annoyed posture in the morning, and he thought that the matter of Ouyang Xiu's letter had been resolved.

"Hello, Mr. Wang." Yu Sheng'an hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook it.

"Mr. Yu's appraisal today is really eye-opening, it's like a Sherlock Holmes detective, no wonder it can make Yang Lao Qing's eyes better." Wang De's face was full of compliments.

"It's ugly, it's all the support of Yang Lao."

"Hey, it's true that Yang Lao is carrying it, but if you don't have the ability, even if Yang Lao wants to carry it again, he won't have the strength to do it, right?"

I have to admit that Wang De is worthy of being a businessman, and he is very comfortable to speak.

"There's a café opposite, if you don't delay, let's go have a cup of coffee together?" Wang De changed the topic and invited.

The rest of his life sighed with peace of mind, realizing that Wang De and him did not meet by chance, and I was afraid that there was some purpose.

"Is there always something wrong with the king?" For the rest of his life, he got straight to the point.

Wang De smiled: "It's not a big deal, Mr. Yu seems to be a cheerful person, then I'll get straight to the point." ”

"I run a tooth carving jewelry store with a few friends, mainly in mammoth tooth carving, but also in other tooth carvings. You are an expert in this area, and you should know that this line of water is very deep, so I would like to hire Mr. Yu as the company's special consultant to help me check the gates. ”

When Yu Sheng'an heard this, his heart was immediately moved.

He was not tempted by this position, but by the fact that this was an opportunity for him to cut into the mammoth ivory industry, which would be beneficial for him to find his master!

Wang De looked at Yu Sheng'an's expression and knew that there was a play.

It turned out that since he saw Yu Sheng'an identify a horn of whale horns, he had the idea of recruiting.

However, he was worried that the other party would be too big to solicit.

So I deliberately sent someone to check Yu Sheng'an's background.

It's okay if you don't check this, this check ......
