Tang Chen didn't pay attention to how they "appreciated treasures", anyway, he was "tao" happily.

In this pile of groceries, there are really strange things, there are all kinds of ghosts, and it is not easy to find the magic weapon from it for a while, you have to screen them one by one.

And in this case, Zeng Lao has already gotten his hands on that piece of ancient jade.

Jade is one of the easiest and most counterfeited antiques, and novice collectors are afraid to touch this type. There are no less than dozens of counterfeiting methods that Zeng Lao knows.

The main ways to identify ancient jade are to see, hear, and test. There are three contents in the detailed identification of ancient jade, one is to identify the quality of jade, the second is to identify artificial treatment, and the third is to identify counterfeit and even synthetic products.

Look, mainly look at the crystal transparency, the real jade has strong transparency, grease luster; listen, the sound of the real jade is crisp, on the contrary, the sound is muffled; the test, the real jade scratches the glass, leaving scratches on the glass, while the jade itself is not damaged at all. Common fake jade includes plastic, colored glass, marble, electric fake jade, jade made of jade powder and crystal and salt water, and jade imitated with glass, etc., and the means of identification are also different. The texture of plastic is lighter than jade, the hardness is poor, and it is generally easy to identify. Tinted glass is also easy to distinguish, as long as you take it to the light or check in the sun, you will see that there are a lot of bubbles in the glass.

It is more difficult to distinguish the electric color fake jade, which refers to the electroplating, which coats the inferior jade with a beautiful emerald green appearance, and it is easy to mistake it for real jade. At this time, you need to observe carefully, if there are some small cracks with green and blue on it, it is fake jade. Because the plating leaves cracks, it is called "spider claws" in the row. It is also said that if the electric color fake jade is placed in hot oil, the plating color will fade and its original appearance will be restored.

The synthetic jade made of jade powder, crystal and salt water is an imitation of dark old pit jade. The identification method is simple, i.e. they differ in specific gravity. By weighing the weight by hand or weighing it with a balance, you can distinguish the real from the fake.

The jade imitated with glass looks whiter and smoother than jade. White jade has to be like a glass to be considered high-grade. It can be seen that it is difficult to distinguish between glass and jade. However, truth and falsehood are different after all. In terms of color, white jade is often bluish in white, and there are very few pure whites, while glass is pure white with uniform whiteness. As far as jade is concerned, jade is warm and delicate, like grease and paste, although the glass is also warm, there is inevitably a thief in the **. White jade is a natural product, and it is difficult to have a uniform physique, including jade tendons and jade flowers. If the glass is artificially made, there is no such appearance. The white jade texture is firm and there are no bubbles to be found. No matter how well the glass is processed, there are often bubbles and air holes exposed.

Of course, Zeng Lao's main identification method is to start from the appearance, jade quality and jade Qin.

This piece of ancient jade seems to be some years old. On the ring-shaped jade pendant, there is a simple Rui beast, which looks like it should be Pixiu. And on Pixiu's body, there is a blood-colored jade. From the pulp to the silk, and then to this piece of Yuqin, no one can do this by cheating.

The ancients believed that the blood was bloody, but the blood was no longer red after a long time, and this view is obviously wrong. This color is made up of pigments, lime, red lacquer, wood, soil, and the contents of the coffin, and can be used to turn jade into scarlet, jujube skin red, and purple spots. However, it takes more than 700 years to form jujube skin red and sauce purple spots.

Zeng Lao judged that this was an ancient jade, and the biggest source was also here.

Of course, jade is old, but that doesn't mean it's worth anything.

Appreciating jade, has always been to start with the quality of jade, carving, if the quality of jade is good, the carving is good, even if it is new jade, it is also priceless. If the jade quality is not good and the carving is poor, then no matter how old the jade is, it is not very valuable.

The most famous jade in China is Hetian jade, Xiuyan jade, and Dushan jade. Among these famous jades, Hetian jade is the most, known as the king of jade.

Zeng Lao judged that the jade pendant in his hand was just Xiuyan jade, and it was not so rare, and the jade quality was not the top-notch kind, the most common kind of Xiuyan jade, and there were many impurities. In addition, the carving is rough, there are no bright spots, and the price is only 30,000 or 50,000 at most.

After seeing this, Zeng Lao gently put down the ancient jade: "I don't know much about jade, in case your piece of jade is worth millions, and I only give hundreds of thousands, then boss, won't you have to suffer?"

The boss of "Jubao Zhai" was overjoyed when he saw that there was a play: "How much does this piece of jade do you think is appropriate?"

Zeng Lao thought for a moment and stretched out two fingers.

"200,000 deals!"

The boss of "Jubao Zhai" spoke so fast that he almost didn't bite his tongue.

Zeng Lao shook his head: "It's 20,000 yuan......"

"What? 20,000 yuan? You don't always bring this, the purchase price is more than this......

The boss of "Jubao Zhai" screamed for days, but he still weighed it in his heart, and felt that there was still money, but the profit was too small. You must know that this piece of ancient jade was collected by him from the Tao for 5,000 yuan, and it still has the umami of earth. This is also the unspoken rules of the industry, or where do you think there are so many antiques? Things are indeed old, as for whether it is good or not, it depends on whether the boss of this "Jubao Zhai" will flicker.

"Why don't you add some more?"

It's not that the boss of "Jubao Zhai" is insatiable, and he can make more money, who doesn't want to?

Zeng Lao smiled indifferently and didn't speak again. Although he has money, he doesn't spend it that way. In fact, the greatest fun of playing antiques is to rely on your own eyesight to pick up leaks. The fun in it, just like the jackpot of the lucky lottery and sports lottery, can also make people adrenaline soar, there is a kind of pleasant pleasure. If it weren't for this process of picking up leaks, Zeng Lao would not have bothered to buy this piece of ancient jade, which was not in good condition.

The boss of "Jubao Zhai" retracted his words stupidly, and looked at Zeng Lao who was there with interest, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart. As the so-called chess opponent will meet good materials, the boss of "Jubao Zhai" is very shrewd, but Zeng Lao seems to be better. It seems to be very difficult to grab a sum from Zeng Lao's wallet. In the antique business, the most afraid is to meet this kind of connoisseur, the owner of "Jubao Zhai" also lost the desire to trade for a while, and let Zeng Lao get his collection of "boutiques" one by one, and did not want to open his mouth to persuade him to buy.

Tang Chen didn't pay any attention to what was going on here, he had been using the "Qi Lookout Technique" to "Taobao" in this pile of groceries, and he was about to find that magic weapon.

"Hey, ...... this?"

When Tang Chen touched a black object, he only felt a stirring all over his body, as if he had been touched by static electricity, and the electricity flowed through his whole body in an instant. Knowing that something was wrong, Tang Chen immediately held this black thing in his hand, looked at it carefully, and was ecstatic in his heart: "This is a magic weapon!!
