Chapter Forty-Eight: But That's It

Tao Ronghua pretended to be a decent man and sat in front of me.

Around me, there are members of the Antique Association.

Uncle Seventh and Su Yu sat on my left, and there were many others I didn't know.

"In the first part, you have to judge the authenticity of these ten ancient porcelains within ten minutes."

Tao Ronghua said, and with a wave of his hand, the beautifully dressed waiter placed ten pieces of porcelain in front of me.

Porcelain bowls, paper bottles, all kinds of types.

In fact, it doesn't take me ten minutes, and I can tell at a glance.

These things are too simple.

"Start in time!"

The moment Tao Ronghua started the timer, I stepped forward and began to speak.

One by one, each piece of porcelain I judged for no more than three seconds.

"Now announce the answer."

Tao Ronghua said, took out a roll of paper from his arms, unfolded it and put it in front of the table.

I'm not wrong with any of them.

"All right."

Tao Ronghua's smiling face kept looking at me, and I was a little panicked.

I also think it's a little strange, isn't he trying to make things difficult for me?

"Now for the second test, we'll take turns putting things up, you only have three minutes, and we'll put things away after that, and you'll need to answer questions."

When Tao Ronghua said this, I noticed that the people around me were talking in whispers.

I heard from them that they said it was the hardest thing or something like that.

The most serious words seem to say that no one has ever passed this test.

As Tao Ronghua's timer began, things came up with one by one.

It's still ten, but it's much harder than before.

People with young qualifications may take it as true if they are careless at a glance, and only by carefully distinguishing can they confirm the truth from the false.

It's hard, but three minutes is still too easy for me.

Such a thing, my master's request to me is - to see at a glance.

When everything was taken down, I continued to stand, ready to answer Tao Ronghua's question.

The truth is all clear, let the horse come!

"There are twenty questions in total, and they are in the wrong order."

Saying this, Tao Ronghua pretended to take out the card and began to read the question, "What is the year of the third blue vase?" ”

Hearing this question, not only me, but also the people around me were in an uproar.

Obviously, they couldn't answer it themselves.

I closed my eyes and thought quickly, "Kangxi three years." ”

When I answered this question, the audience was in an uproar, and everyone just thought that I was blind.

Tao Ronghua's shocked expression told me that I was right.

"Back to ...... Answer correctly. ”

I saw surprise in his eyes.

He must have wondered why he had such ability at such a young age.

"Your question is a little simple."

I spoke slowly, "If that's the level, I don't think there's any need to test it." ”

"Next, what kiln did the bottle of the fifth piece come from?"

"The fifth piece is easy to recognize as the green glaze of the Ru kiln, but this is also a rare one, the blue glaze lotus pattern plate of the Song Ge kiln."

I spoke slowly, and there was another commotion.

If you get it right once, what about the second time? Maybe really lucky, right?

Tao Ronghua stared into my eyes, and I saw a part of the anger in his eyes.

"Can't you be bothered by such a question?"

Looking into his eyes, I could already make up this sentence in my head.

Of course, the seventh uncle at the scene could also see that Tao Ronghua was really slapped in the face.

I estimate that this kind of purely difficult question may not be answered by 80 percent of the people around you.

But in the past, my master's requirements were indeed much stricter than his.

This kind of "blind judgment" can be regarded as my "basic subject" at that time.

Not only will my master ask about the vintage, enamel, kiln, etc., but also who has collected it!

I remember very well that at that time, my master asked for a Yuan blue and white bowl, let me take a look, and answered out of thin air who collected it.

I didn't answer.

Because it's so fast, I only have time for a glance.

Later, it was discovered that there was a collector in the middle who served as an ordinary plate by the wear of the enamel and the degree of shine in the middle piece.

"That's it, or I'll make it clear to you one by one, you give me more time, and I can see it more clearly."

I said coldly, "The first piece, the small jar with red grass leaf pattern in the Yuan glaze, should have been unearthed in the north, and the residual wear on it should have been caused by hitting the hard soil." The second ......"

"Bring them all up and take a look!"

Liu Qingzhong was also shocked and hurriedly spoke.

Looking at his surprised eyes, he probably didn't believe what I said.

Then, all the previous ten pieces were put on the table.

Some people with qualifications gathered around to confirm.

The seventh uncle also walked up with a little curiosity.

Because until now, no one in the entire Hezhou has been right in this situation.

"All right."

Tao Ronghua spoke weakly.

"He's cheating!"

At this time, Su Yu suddenly jumped out, "He has already told Tao Ronghua!" ”

"Miss Su, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of big thing."

Liu Qingzhong immediately frowned and looked at Tao Ronghua, "Tao Ronghua, is there such a thing?" ”

I felt a sudden chuckle in my heart.

If Tao Ronghua admits it at this time, then I will really be doomed!

I didn't expect this biggest "difficulty" to come from Su Yu!

"I didn't ...... There is no such thing! ”

Tao Ronghua was stunned for a moment and hurriedly denied it.

This made all the old seniors around look at Tao Ronghua with suspicious eyes.

After all, how could this kind of judgment close to "superman" be said by an ordinary young man?

"Of course you protect Shen Fan! He's already complicit with you! ”

The seventh uncle didn't have time to stop him, and Su Yu directly said the rest of the words.

"Tao Ronghua, come over for a moment."

Liu Qingzhong's face was quite ugly, and he took Tao Ronghua out and said something alone.

During this time, the people around me have been expressing contempt for me, both in the eyes and in words.

At this time, I thought about it carefully.

It seems that Tao Ronghua really can't admit it.

After all, if he admits that he helped me cheat, not only will he not be able to stay in the association, but he will even be despised by the entire antique circle in Hezhou.

This kind of one-on-one self-detonation seems too unworthy.

Again, the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes.

It didn't take long for Liu Qingzhong to come in with Tao Ronghua.

"Everyone, in view of the fact that Tao Ronghua may help Shen Fan cheat, now you have to go to the collection upstairs to choose, a total of ten pieces, and temporarily solve the problem."

Liu Qingzhong slowly opened his mouth and glanced at me.

This time, there was a slight hint of appreciation in his eyes.

It is estimated that Tao Ronghua told him that he did not cheat.

It wasn't long before the things were taken down, and all the seniors present went upstairs to discuss the topic.

"Shen Fan, how did you do it?"

While the seventh uncle and they were all going upstairs, Zhou Jianguo approached me and asked with a puzzled expression.

"That's just the basics."
