Ask yourself, even if you are not yet at the point of "people and gods are angry" in the antique world, at least everyone shouts and beats you.

Now he said: to focus on promoting oneself in order to improve the "quality" and "image" of the fair?

Do you dare to ask your peers for advice first?

Li Dingan felt that this matter was quite unreliable, of course, the work still had to be supported, anyway, it was a matter of taking a few photos and saying a few words.

As for whether it had any effect, he didn't know.

……

In a blink of an eye, another week passed, and the fair was held as scheduled.

followed two meetings and a field rehearsal, and finally the organizers arranged Li Ding'an in the central shopping mall of Daliushu Ghost City.

This is one of the exhibition areas of the "folk collections" of this exhibition, the other two exhibition areas are of course in Panjiayuan and Liulichang, and the other two places Li Ding'an did not go, I don't know how to do it, but the big willow tree is the main feature: miscellaneous.

In the exhibition hall of thousands of square meters, the thing is called a variety, that is called a dazzling, from small coins to large stone lions, arhat beds, all the cultural relics encyclopedia included, there is nothing that can not be found here, it can be said that it is an original presentation of the characteristics of the big willow ghost market.

Of course, it's not as messy as the market downstairs, after all, it's an exhibition, at least things are not placed in a stall, most of them are placed in the display cases and shelves.

Most of the entries come from private collectors, all provinces and cities are available in all places, collected by the Cultural Relics Exchange Center under the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics, and then selected by the experts invited by the organizers, at least to ensure that the exhibits have a certain value, and all are genuine.

The price is also relatively reasonable, so you don't need to "tao" here, and there is no possibility of missing for you to pick up, as long as you look at the right eye and buy it.

Li Ding'an and the other five experts were arranged in a corner of the exhibition area, and their work mainly consisted of two points: one was to conduct a second appraisal for the customers who were a little uneasy about buying and selling the exhibits, and the other was to select the collections of those Tibetan friends who did not have time to participate in the audition because they were far away or heard the news late.

The publicity work is relatively in place, even if it is the first day of the launch, even though the popularity of the big willow tree is much lower than that of Panjiayuan and Liulichang, but just half past eight, the exhibition hall has just opened, and thousands of guests have poured in.

And this is the first batch, tickets have been booked online in advance, and there are more customers queuing downstairs at this time, or being diverted to the market by the main method.

Most of them are buyers, and there are many people who are holding things to select, including Li Ding'an, six experts will sit down, and some people have already begun to come here.

For fear of causing chaos, the organizer did not put many people in at one time, about 30 people, either carrying boxes or holding boxes. I should have read the expert information in advance, and it is very purposeful, and most of them go straight to their favorite experts after coming.

Therefore, some experts have more people in front of the table, and some have fewer people in front of the table. For example, Li Ding'an, none of the more than 30 Tibetan friends came to him.

However, this does not depend on him, it is the publicity problem of the organizers: just like Xie Yuanping and Associate Professor Zhang, who are sitting on his left and right, there are personal posters at the staircase, not to mention, they have also taken videos in advance, and they have shown their faces in the press conference of the exhibition.

Li Dingan also filmed, I don't know why I didn't put it, including at this time, not to mention the water card, the unit and name were written on the card in front of him.

He estimated that the organizer should hold back some tricks, and it didn't matter if there was really no publicity, Li Dingan wished that he could keep a low profile this time.

He was not in a hurry at all, and unhurriedly took out the flashlight and magnifying glass, which were just placed on the table, and there was a "huh" sound from the opposite side.

He subconsciously raised his head: an aunt of about fifty, dressed very ordinary, her face was a little dark, her skin was a little rough, her hands were dense, "long" with brown spots, and there was a faint smell of oil smoke and spices on her body.

Li Dingan sniffed lightly, and made a judgment in his heart: this aunt should be setting up a stall to sell fried skewers, and nine times out of ten she is a native of the capital.

Looking down, I didn't carry a box in my hand, I didn't hold a box, but there was a leather bag with artificial leather hanging diagonally on my chest, and it was estimated that the thing was inside.

He smiled gently: "Auntie, what do you want to see?" ”

The aunt didn't squeak, she looked at it from top to bottom first, and then looked at the nameplate in front of him: Beijing University College of Culture and Museum, Li Ding'an.

Except for these nine words, there is no more.

"Has the baby graduated?"

Li Dingan was stunned for a moment, and replied honestly: "No!" ”

"Oh~~~"

The voice was very long, but just like that, she just lifted her butt against the chair, hugged her bag and left.

Xie Yuanping laughed out loud with a "poof", and then attracted laughter from several experts next to him.

Li Dingan is not depressed.

Although I am currently studying in graduate school, my aunt asks "did you graduate", not "did you graduate from college", so what should I do?

You can't talk nonsense with your eyes open: the camera is shooting right next to it, and it's live.

So it's even harder to brag: Auntie, I'm very famous, I don't believe you search on the Internet......

The aunt is also very clever, taking advantage of the happy efforts of the people next to her, she "slipped away" and sat in front of Xie Yuanping.

At the back of the line was a young man, who didn't care, laughing and helping her in a chair.

Aunt looks at the introduction again, this one is much more reliable: Xie Yuanping, a well-known appraisal expert of the Beijing Jade Association, a member of the Beijing Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee, and a special expert for the large-scale treasure hunting column "Top of the Forbidden City" on Beijing TV......

She sat down stiffly, opened her bag again, and took out a box about the size of a palm: "Expert Xie, take a look at this thing!" ”

"Good!" Xie Yuanping took the thing, "Where did it come from?" ”

"Pick it up!"

"You're in luck!"

Teasing casually, Xie Yuanping opened the box, and slowly, a playful smile appeared on his face: "It's really picked up!" ”

Anyway, he was idle, Li Dingan tilted his head and looked: it was a jade seal, the top button was a lying lion, and the bottom was boxy. The seal is not small, about six centimeters high, and the bottom seal is about three centimeters square.

It is also skillful, green texture, jasper.

Just at a glance, Xie Yuanping shook his head, and then took out the seal, and when he saw the seal, he laughed out loud.

Li Ding'an was next to him, and he saw it very clearly, and when he saw the words "Zeng Wen Zhengyin" engraved in italics, his face also showed a trace of strangeness.

Good guy, Zeng Guofan's seal, and the engraved is still "Zeng Wenzheng"?

was secretly funny, Xie Yuanping pushed the seal and box forward: "Fake!" ”

"Expert, you didn't even look closely, and you said it was fake?"

"You don't have to look at it, it's fake!"

Xie Yuanping was not the slightest polite, "Next!" ”

The aunt was a little unhappy, but she probably knew something, so she reluctantly put away her things and stood up again.

Then, she saw Li Ding'an, who was grinning and watching the excitement next to her.

The aunt first made a face, then rolled her eyes, and sat down in front of him.

He couldn't laugh all of a sudden: No, you think I'm young and coaxing, don't you?

"Young man, can you show me......" The aunt pushed the thing forward, and smiled flatteringly, "Although it was picked up, please see it from the connoisseur, and say that it is a really good thing......

Li Dingan didn't bother to look at it: "Auntie, this seal is fake, there are too many wrong places: silver and copper are seals, gold and jade are seals, even in the Qing Dynasty, only the emperor would use jade to engrave seals." Although there are also private seals of stone, they can only be used Shoushan stone and bloodstone......

The text is a bird, and the martial arts are a beast...... The military talisman seal of the four-rank military attache of the Qing Dynasty is a lion seal, but it is bronze, and it is by no means so large...... 'Wenzheng' is a nickname given by the emperor after the death of Zeng Guofan, and it is impossible to use it to engrave the seal, even if it is a private seal used for compensation......"

"Also, the material is not right, this is Qinghai jasper, to be precise: this is Mangya jasper, which was only available around 2000...... What's more, it's post-aged ......"

Li Ding'an paused for a while, picked up the seal and sniffed it again, and smiled even more strangely: "It seems to have been fried from the pot you put on the stall......"

The aunt was stunned for a moment, then her face smacked, she picked up her things and left, and muttered as she walked: "What a broken expert!" ”

The Tibetan friends lining up around laughed "boom".

Some people were puzzled and came to Li Ding'an's table: "What do you mean just now, young man, this seal is fried?" ”

Li Dingan nodded: "Yes, freeze first, and then fry...... Typical antique jade aging technique. ”

"But why do you say, 'She spread that pot'?"

"Oh...... You're far away, you don't smell it: this aunt has a strong smell of oil smoke and sauce, and nine times out of ten she sells fried skewers......"

"Really?"

"I guess it's true, I left without looking at the scolding?"

"Hey, can you smell that? What the hell is the young man......"

"Whatever he is, it looks like he's got something real......"

"Nonsense, don't you have the skills to sit here?"

The person next to him thought: That's really the reason.

If you don't get started, you can see that the format is wrong, the material is wrong, the printing is not right, or the old one, which shows that the eyesight is really high, but it doesn't seem to be particularly difficult to put it here.

For example, Xie Yuanping just now, just glanced at it and said frankly that this seal was fake, which showed that he could also see this.

It also shows that this young expert who is a little too much may not be worse than Xie Yuanping.

Thinking so, someone suddenly moved from behind the other teams and sat opposite Li Ding'an.

Seeing what this person was holding in his hand, the director's eyes lit up and gave the cameraman a look.

The videographer nodded slightly: Don't worry, shoot it......

The box was relatively large, but it didn't seem to be very heavy, at least this one didn't have a hard time holding it in his arms, and it didn't move much when it was placed on the table.

The uncle was about in his early sixties, dressed neatly, and his hair was meticulously combed, carefully putting things on the table, and took a special look at the table sign.

"Li Ding'an, this name is a little familiar?"

"Really?" Li Dingan smiled, "I guess where have you seen someone with the same name and surname!" ”

Uncle thought for a while: "It's possible!" ”

In fact, it is normal not to recognize it, although the things in Liao Province are relatively noisy, but the biggest impact is only the antique world and the appraisal world, at most plus a cultural and museum world.

The sensation caused in the society is also quite big, and it is also on the hot search, but not everyone watches the news, just like the aunt just now: It's too late to make money by fried skewers, who has the time to watch that thing?

Like this uncle, he has an impression of the name Li Ding'an, which means that he often watches videos and brushes Douyin, which is already very fashionable among his peers......

He nodded, and opened the box with a posture: "Young man, you take a good look, absolutely good: Xuande furnace!" ”

What's that?

Suddenly, Li Ding'an's eyes widened, staring at the things that the uncle took out of the box.

Not to mention, at first glance it looks a bit like: skimming, shyness, circle feet, the whole looks like a big bowl. Moreover, the purple is black, the black is translucent, and there are sparse gold ornaments on it, which conforms to the typical shape of "eggplant skin dark gold earless stove".

And it is very large, with a height of thirty centimeters and an abdominal diameter of about twenty-five or six, and the real Xuande furnace is only one-seventh or eighth-sized size at most. Even in the Qianlong imitation Xuande furnace that "respects the great", it definitely belongs to the "heavy weapon".

Don't care if it's imitation or not, as long as it's copper, it should be at least about twenty pounds, but the strange thing is that when this person takes it out of the box, it's very easy?

Suspicious, Li Dingan stretched out his hand, and as soon as he touched it, he froze: What copper, this thing is not metal.

For example, now, he pinched the edge with three fingers and turned it over.

Looking at the bottom again, my eyes almost popped out: such a thing can also be used for selection?

How did the organizers get in?

Subconsciously, he raised his head, only to find that the camera was shooting at him. At another glance, the director was standing next to the photographer, smiling at himself with his teeth bared.

Got it, deliberately!

He sighed and asked again, "Uncle, where did this thing come from?" ”

The uncle's face was taken for granted: "Ancestral? ”

What?

Li Dingan was stunned for a long time before he said: "Uncle, don't be angry if I say something: this thing is estimated to be not as old as your grandson!" ”

The uncle was annoyed all of a sudden, "Young people can't speak, their eyes are blind, right?" ”

Li Dingan was not angry, he reluctantly turned the basin over and pointed to the bottom: "You give me a thought!" ”

“202…… Well, that's not right...... This is an inscription symbol, how do I know it? ”

"Uncle, this is not an inscription, it's a number: in 2022, the ...... was made last year"

"You don't care what year it was made, I'll tell you: Baoli took one in Hong Kong the year before last, and it was exactly the same as mine, and it cost 1.5 billion ......."

"No, uncle, there is this: look, Guangdong Dongguan Changle FRP Crafts Factory...... Tie up ......"

Li Ding'an knocked twice: "If you listen to this sound again, is it plastic...... How could there be such a thing in the Ming Dynasty? ”

"Let's not talk about this plastic and FRP first, let's look at this first: is it the shape of the unique 'skimming stone furnace' in Chenghua, is it the 'eggplant skin dark gold and gold bronze ornament'?"

"It is indeed the shape of the stone furnace, and it is indeed the dark golden ...... of the eggplant skin."

"Isn't that right?"

The uncle didn't give him a chance to speak at all: "Don't worry about the rest, you just say these two places, right?" ”

Li Ding'an's people are numb: You can't see such a big "FRP" and "2022" on it, shake it in your hand, the soft skin is swaying, you still can't see it, are you right?

Yes, yes, yes?
