After a while, Zhang Yu saw an old man with a childish face and crane hair walking up the stairs.

I saw that he was energetic and ruddy, and he couldn't tell that this old man was over eighty years old.

When he arrived, the group of people on the second floor all respectfully greeted the old man: "Bai Lao." ”

"You're welcome, all sit, sit down!"

After a while, everyone sat down.

Zhang Yu glanced at it, and Wu Xue, who was not dealing with Chen Tianming, was also sitting not far away.

The earliest tastings originated in the Qing Dynasty, when it was suggested that everyone should gather together to appreciate and observe the antiques, and by the way, they could also talk about business and contact feelings.

Thus a tradition in the world of collecting was slowly formed.

After a few pleasantries, several waiters brought out a table and placed it in the center of the hall.

A thick blanket is laid on the table, and next to it are tools such as magnifying glasses for identifying antiques.

As a treasure expert, Bai Lao stood in front of the table, and everyone's eyes focused on him.

"Okay, old man, I won't gossip too much, our annual treasure appreciation meeting will begin!" Bai Lao shouted and said, "Let's take a look at what surprises Elder Cai of Gu Xuan Pavilion has brought us." ”

"Hehe, I recently received a rare object for everyone to see. Cai Lao stood up with a smile, walked to the table in the middle of the hall, and took out a box from his pocket.

As he gently opened the box, a pair of crystal clear lotus fish appeared in front of everyone, lifelike!

"It's ...... Cai Lao is really lucky. As soon as they saw the object, some of the people standing in front of them began to talk about it.

I saw that the body of the fish was bent into an arc, the head was raised, the tail was upturned, the coil was coiled into a ring, and the fish body was entangled, the shape was beautiful, and the mouth was actually loaded. Seeing the jade carved like this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel that his eyes were opened.

"This lotus fish is a characteristic burial jade of the Song Dynasty, commonly unearthed from tombs, usually held in pairs in the hands of the deceased, the whole body is light and without lines, and the knife technique is simple and bright. Afraid that Zhang Yu wouldn't know, Chen Tianming explained in a low voice.

"This kind of lotus fish is too rare, I still saw it in the book, Cai Lao should have missed it, I don't know how much money to collect it?" asked Boss Zhu on the side with envy in his eyes.

"It's not much, it's only 3,000 yuan. Cai Lao said proudly, as soon as he finished speaking, the people around him couldn't help but admire.

"I estimate that this lotus fish can be sold for at least 600,000 yuan, and Cai Lao has picked up this leak well. Chen Tianming said with a smile.

Zhang Yu's heart moved slightly, and he switched to yin and yang eyes and looked over.

I saw that this lotus fish changed color in an instant, and the jade was rich black, and it was obvious that this object was indeed genuine.

But...... The black color seemed to be much lighter than the rabbit before me......

"Yes, yes, this is indeed a lotus fish from the Song Dynasty, I estimate it at around 800,000, what do you think?" Bai Lao said, and everyone nodded yes.

Cai Lao's lotus fish is a good start for this tasting conference, and then someone has sent their own collections for everyone to taste, including blue and white porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, porcelain pillows in the official kiln of the Song Dynasty, and jade snuff bottles in the Qing Dynasty.

Taking advantage of the fact that others were paying attention to the antiques, Zhang Yu also looked carefully with his yin and yang eyes.

The yin and yang eyes can indeed distinguish the length of time of the antique, and the longer the time, the thicker the black gas, and the weaker it is.

The jade snuff bottle of the Qing Dynasty only has a faint layer of almost gray black gas, and you can almost see the pattern of the snuff bottle, and the porcelain pillow from the official kiln of the Song Dynasty is like being shrouded in black gas!

But Zhang Yu found that the black gas of these collections was not as good as the jade rabbit he had just bought!

Don't...... The Jade Rabbit is older than these collections?

Just as Zhang Yu was thinking, a familiar voice sounded not far away: "I happen to have a collection here, and I bother Bai Lao and a few colleagues to taste it." ”

Zhang Yu saw that it was that Wu Xue who spoke.

I saw him wave his hand, and the subordinates next to him walked out with a box in their arms.

"It turned out to be Wu Dong, I don't know what good treasure Wu Dong brought?" asked Boss Zhu curiously.

"Hehe, I occasionally encountered a gadget, but I can't afford to be a baby. Having said that, everyone could see the smug expression on his face.

The man placed the box on the table, then opened it, and out of it came a black lump of black stuff.

"It's ...... Inkstone?" Several bosses walked over to observe carefully for a moment, and couldn't help but let out a sound of confusion.

To tell the truth, this inkstone doesn't look valuable, it is covered with a thick layer of black substance, someone picked up the inkstone, checked it, and found that it was quite heavy, and then lightly scratched it on the inkstone with a fingernail, not too hard, it was easy to leave a shallow trace, but with a finger lightly, it can be erased.

What kind of material is this?

Several people frowned and pondered, some seemed to have guesses, but it was difficult to be sure, and finally everyone turned their eyes to Bai Lao.

"Fourth, you go and get my set of tools. Bai Lao seemed to see something, and stroked his beard and said to the people around him.

A young man nodded, and after a while, he walked down again with a set of tools in his hand.

Taking over the tool, Bai Lao picked up a tool that looked like a razor, and gently scraped and dug on the inkstone.

Everyone craned their necks curiously to see what was beneath the thick black substance.

After a short time, a black object on the outer surface of the inkstone was scraped off, revealing a yellow layer inside.

"Tian Huangshi?" said Boss Zhu, who was watching nearby, in surprise.

"It's actually Tian Huangshi?!"

"Such a large piece of Tianhuangshi was actually made into an inkstone?! It's just too extravagant!" a few old men of antiques roared excitedly.

Tian Huang Stone, is the treasure of Shoushan stone variety, because this kind of stone is produced in Shoushan, Fujian, has the meaning of Fu Shou Tian Huang, and because it has the six virtues of fine, clean, moist, greasy, warm and condensing stone, it is called "Emperor Stone".

According to legend, Tian Huangshi is a jewel left in the world when the female disaster mends the sky, and it is said that it is changed by the phoenix bird's egg, and it is also said that Tian Huangshi can drive away disasters and avoid evil, and the Tibetan Tian Huang can prolong life and so on......

In short, this kind of stone is very precious, more expensive than gold, in ancient times there was a saying of "one or two fields of yellow and three taels of gold", it is conceivable that the preciousness of this stone.

As for the superior Tian Huangshi...... It's a priceless treasure, and there's nowhere to buy it if you have money!
