The jade wrench finger is also called the jade spy (she), which is originally intended to be a tool used to pull the string when drawing the bow and shooting arrows, and is set on the archer's right thumb to protect the shooter's right thumb from being strangled by the bowstring. Later, it was extended to be a symbol of identity and ability to make decisions on affairs. As early as the late Neolithic Age, the Shang and Zhou dynasties were found to have wrenches, and there may have been some softer materials such as leather at first, and better ones will use harder materials.

With the change of the years and the gradual evolution, the material and shape of the jade wrench are different in various dynasties, for example, the jade wrench of the Shang Dynasty also has the function of pulling the bow and protecting the finger, which is not only longer than the later wrench, but also has grooves on it; it began to become shorter in the Warring States period; the wrench of the Han Dynasty appeared in the shape of a jade piece, similar to a jade pendant, with a small hook used to pull the string, but the wrench at this time can no longer bear the force of drawing the bow; in the Song Dynasty, there were some imitation of the Han Dynasty wrench, and its style is more diverse, there are flakes, and there are also short cylindrical shapes; when the Qing Dynasty, the wrench is cylindrical, the edge of one end is concave, and the edge of one end is convex forward, because its material is more rounded, smooth, so it is more difficult to use for archery, and it becomes a symbol of decoration, status, and fashion trends.

The boss concluded that this thing should be the jade wrench of the Qing Dynasty, and it may not be able to afford to wear it if it is not a prince or nobleman. Therefore, the first person who can buy this kind of jade wrench is either rich or expensive. Because he also has such a jade wrench finger, but compared with Zeng Lao's jade wrench finger of Hetian jade, the grade and appearance are much worse. Even so, his jade wrench finger was sold by someone who bid more than one million, and he was not willing to sell it.

Knowing this, the boss immediately became much more attentive.

"Since this boss is an understanding person, I won't hide it. The boss smiled and gently disguised his embarrassment, "I do have something here, which ordinary people don't have......"

Zeng Lao nodded, this is the benefit of showing his own details.

Although there is not much chance of picking up a leak, the chance of wanting to find a leak in this kind of store is too small. After all, people are not vegetarians, and if you can mix in the position of a store in this industry, you must have some eyesight. If you want to pick up the leak under the hands of an expert, it is more realistic to expect gold to fall from the sky.

Tang Chen looked around the "Jubao Zhai" antique shop, and found that there were ceramics of various shapes, exquisite bronzes, ancient calligraphy and paintings of celebrities hanging on the shelves, and there were some jade, ancient coins, four treasures of the study and miscellaneous objects on the counter, many of which he couldn't even name, full of interest, but he also understood that most of the things on the shelves were fakes.

Good things, must have been hidden for this boss. The big and generous ones are all tests of eyesight.

Sometimes antiques are like that, you think it's real, but it's an imitation. When you think it's fake, it's true. Although Tang Chen didn't understand the truth of "I'd rather buy the real than the fake, not buy the fake like the real", he heard Zeng Lao say this, and he also understood that good things would not be released easily.

Sure enough, after the boss entered the room and played around for a while, he mysteriously came out with something in his arms and carefully placed it on the counter. This is the rule of the antique industry, called "things are not hands", generally others will not hand you objects, things are placed there, you take it yourself to see, accidentally broken, sorry, that is your responsibility. Some antique profiteers rely on this kind of thing to "slander people". If you suffer a lot, naturally some people will learn to be good. However, with so many novices pouring in every year, there will definitely be a few who get hit.

This thing is a piece of porcelain, it looks like an old thing, and the traces of its use on it are obvious.

But Zeng Lao didn't have much excitement, and he still looked calm.

Sometimes the more anxious you are, the easier it is to look away. Looking at an antique is simple, as long as you find a fake place, you can completely dismiss it. These antique shops, like to play a game called "fishing", the so-called "fishing", is the jargon of the antique industry, refers to the special use to attract some people who do not understand the beginning of the industry, the so-called drowned people are mostly swimming, these people see the store has opened the old objects, often think that other things are also genuine, but they buy home, but they are some fakes.

The more anxious you are to prove that this thing is true, the easier it is to look away.

After all, it is easy to get a few pieces of high-imitation porcelain with the current technology. There are also a few pieces of high-imitation porcelain in this "Jubao Zhai", but if the boss doesn't look carefully, he may look away. Although these pieces are high imitations, but the cost is also worth 18,000, the boss is looking for someone to fire at a high price, using ancient techniques and formulas, and its shape and glaze can almost be real.

Those few pieces of high imitation porcelain are placed on the top layer of the shelf, when taken off, you have to step on the ladder to get it, it is specially for those officials who like vassal elegance, or the bosses with deep pockets, think about placing such a quaint and simple, or delicate and gorgeous, wonderful ceramics in the office, that can also show the identity and taste of the owner.

By the time the boss put the things down, Tang Chen had already used the "Qi Lookout Technique" to probe them up close, and found that there was no aura on them, so he didn't have much interest.

Seeing Tang Chen's appearance, Zeng Lao also understood a lot in his heart, and said in his heart: "It seems that this thing is not a magic weapon!"

I think that although I think so, I still have to give people a little face.

I saw that Zeng Lao had a good time to walk over, and took out a magnifying glass the size of a thumbnail from his pocket as he walked.

Seeing that Zeng Lao actually carried a magnifying glass with him, the boss of "Jubao Zhai" first shook it for a moment, and then laughed in his heart: "I'm not afraid that you don't understand, I'm afraid that you don't understand deeply, the more knowledgeable people look at these things, the more plausible they will feel!"

You can't blame people for being too dark to make this kind of money. After all, the antique business relies on eyesight to eat, and if you look away and are beaten, you can only consider yourself unlucky. Even if it's a lawsuit, people will give you a "handicraft certificate" when they sell it, and it is clearly said that this is a handicraft, as for how much money you spent to buy it, it is something you are willing to do, and the strange people don't make it clear?

If it's on the stall, it's even more unreasonable. People roll up the covers and leave, and they don't admit their accounts, what can you do to others? To put it bluntly, you still have your own eyes and spent unjust money!

The porcelain in Zeng Lao's hand is a Kangxi blue and white bowl. This Kangxi blue and white bowl is the "Jubao Zhai" boss specially invited someone to fire, go through the ancient firing process, from the selection of materials to billet glazing including into the kiln to fire, it took a lot of financial and material resources to fire successfully, it can be said that although this object is a fake, but it is also expensive, almost can be fake and real.
