Chapter 155 Rupert's Tears

Luo Fan smiled and said, "Mr. Jia, you don't have to be embarrassed. If it wasn't for your help, I might not have been able to solve the problem so quickly."

"As the saying goes, icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow. Some things can't be counted that way."

"Besides, Mr. Jia, aren't you helping me deliver business? It's not counting as asking for my help. I don't have many people coming to my small business. It would be a good thing for you to introduce more people to patronize."

Seeing Luo Fan thinking that way, Jia Wennan felt that he was acting on his own, and thought about it for a while, and made an appointment with Luo Fan to meet in his villa the next morning.

There was no way, although Jia Wennan was in a hurry, but Luo Fan had something to do today, so it was impossible to leave Qin Miaomiao alone and go back.

She had already suspected that she was trying to show off her abilities. If she left for a while, wouldn't she be more convinced of her thoughts, and she must let her see how powerful she is.

Time passed quickly, and soon came the afternoon. Luo Fan felt that his true power had almost recovered, so he stood up immediately and said to Qin Miaomiao:
"Qin Miaomiao, it's almost time, you go and open the display cabinet for me again, this time I will definitely give you the result."

Qin Miaomiao asked in surprise: "Luo Fan, are you serious?"

"No, no, you really don't need to go on like this, and I won't blame you. After all, so many masters haven't been able to solve this problem, and it's very normal that you can't."

Facing Qin Miaomiao's doubts, Luo Fan didn't want to say anything, but said to Qin Miaomiao very seriously: "Now, immediately, open the door of the showcase for me."

The way Luo Fan said this was different from his usual calm look. Qin Miaomiao seemed to have sensed Luo Fan's seriousness, and an inexplicable idea came up in his heart to trust Luo Fan.

Just like that, under Luo Fan's threat, Qin Miaomiao walked inside involuntarily, and by the time she realized it, she was already opening the display cabinet.

Qin Miaomiao was secretly annoyed, how could she be so easily bluffed by Luo Fan, and actually believed his nonsense.

But things have come to this, she can only continue to open the display cabinet, anyway, it is just to open the cabinet, she wants to see what new tricks Luo Fan can play in a different time.

However, she soon became disappointed. Luo Fan was still the same as in the morning, simply appraising the blue and white tangled lotus pot with a hundred-shou pattern, without any unnecessary movements.

Luo Fan didn't expect that this real power would actually play a fake progress bar for himself, and he would need to use more real power later on.

Less than half of the progress is left, and after using up all the power of truth, it can only reach 90.00%.

Luo Fan looked back and found that Qin Miaomiao was staring at him, as if wanting to see his joke.

Luo Fan is helpless, it seems that he can only continue, only [-]% of the progress, a little overdraft should not be a big problem.

So Qin Miaomiao saw a very strange scene here. Luo Fan was just appraising a piece of porcelain with ease, but his face gradually turned pale, and even his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Qin Miaomiao was shocked. Luo Fan must have something wrong. He happened to be sick during the appraisal, right?
Thinking of this, Qin Miaomiao didn't care about watching the good show anymore, and rushed directly in front of Luo Fan, supported the fainting Luo Fan, and asked, "Luo Fan, are you okay, do you need me to call an ambulance for you?" ?”

Luo Fan shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'll just take a rest for a while."

"This is also my old problem. Sometimes if you take things too seriously, it will suddenly happen."

"But it doesn't have any effect on the body. You just need to take a good rest to recover."

Luo Fan pushed Qin Miaomiao to indicate that he didn't need help, and Qin Miaomiao let go.

It's just that Luo Fan obviously overestimated himself. The moment Qin Miaomiao let go, his feet became unsteady and he fell into Qin Miaomiao's arms.

Qin Miaomiao was also confused by Luo Fan's "sudden attack", and habitually wanted to push Luo Fan away.

However, thinking of Luo Fan's state at this time, she could only silently recite "Luo Fan is a patient" while helping Luo Fan to the chair beside her, and she was completely relieved.

After putting Luo Fan on the chair, Qin Miaomiao still felt a little uneasy and asked, "Luo Fan, do you really need help?"

"Also, don't get me wrong. This is our Qin family's store after all. I just care about you because I'm afraid that if you fall here, it will damage our store's reputation."

"Even if you can't identify something, there's no need for you to touch porcelain in our shop!"

Qin Miaomiao's words made Luo Fan feel like a black thread, but she also knew that Qin Miaomiao actually cared about her, so she didn't care.

After a few minutes, Luo Fan finally recovered a bit, and said, "Your family heirloom is really not a simple thing, but luckily you met me, and finally you can unlock the secret above."

"That's because I came, otherwise someone else really wouldn't be able to crack the secret on it."

Qin Miaomiao did not expect Luo Fan to identify something, and asked impatiently, "So, what is the secret?"

Luo Fan didn't explain, but asked Qin Miaomiao a question, "Qin Miaomiao, do you know Rupert's tears?"

"Rupert's tears?" Qin Miaomiao said, "Aren't we identifying family heirlooms now? What does it have to do with Rupert's tears?"

"Of course I have heard of this thing. It is said that it is made by naturally dropping molten glass into ice water by gravity."

"The resulting glass forms these tadpole-like shapes, hence the name 'glass teardrops'."

"Rupert's tears have a very wonderful property, that is, the teardrop itself is much harder than ordinary glass, and can withstand 8 tons of pressure without breaking."

"But with Rupert's Tears of this strength, as long as you grab its slender tail and apply a little pressure, the whole glass tear will burst and shatter in an instant."

Luo Fan did not expect that Qin Miaomiao knew so much, not only what Rupert's tears were, but also its characteristics.

Luo Fan, who pretended to fail, could only helplessly explain: "After appraising it for a long time, I found out that your heirloom actually has characteristics similar to Rupert's tears."

"The key point is the protruding point that looks like a flaw. In fact, you only need to hammer it here, and your heirloom should be able to reveal its true colors."

"Of course, this blue-and-white lotus jar with a hundred-shou pattern cannot be as exaggerated as Rupert's tears. After being hammered, it will not be shattered, but will reveal its true face."

"That is to say, this blue-and-white jug with the lotus and longevity pattern is actually a 'porcelain within a porcelain'."

After listening to Luo Fan's words, even Qin Miaomiao showed an expression that you were teasing me. The so-called "porcelain within porcelain" simply cannot exist.

Unlike picture-in-picture, porcelain needs to be fired at a high temperature, so the technique of porcelain-in-porcelain is completely unfeasible. Forcible use will only result in the destruction of the porcelain to be protected in the second firing.

And even if you barely do it, how to take out the porcelain you want to protect is still a problem. Even if you are careful, you can easily damage the porcelain inside to protect.

Qin Miaomiao seemed a little angry, and said unhappily: "Luo Fan, if you can't do it, you can just say it, and you don't have to fool me with such nonsense."

"You probably know that I can't use a hammer to smash the heirloom of our Qin family, so you said that?"

Luo Fan was not surprised that Qin Miaomiao didn't understand, because if this kind of thing hadn't been the result of cheating on him, he probably wouldn't have believed it, and would have thought that someone else was fooling him.

It took Luo Fan two tubes of mana just to identify this piece of porcelain, which was not enough. Luo Fan tried to decipher the method of "porcelain within porcelain", but found that the consumption of real power was terrifying.

In addition, Jia Lao will come to find him again tomorrow, so it should be impossible for him to try in a short time.

Luo Fan explained: "'Porcelain within porcelain' is indeed almost impossible to exist, but the facts are in front of you, you have to believe it."

"This is not what I said to fool you. You who understand the principle of Rupert's tears should also know that as long as you attack the key points, you don't need much strength to smash its coat."

"So if you don't believe me, you can use just the right amount of force, which won't damage ordinary porcelain, and can also break through the blockade of Rupert's tears."

"Actually, I think that the reason why you have been unable to crack the key of the heirloom is because you have protected it too carefully, making it impossible for this key point to suffer any collision."

"Theoretically speaking, it doesn't take much effort to crack it. In fact, as long as your Qin family bumps into it by chance, it should have been cracked already."

So there is a problem with our protection?

Qin Miaomiao was a little confused, but what Luo Fan said was serious, not like a joke, so he had to take it seriously.

Luo Fan even talked about a plan for both, even if they tried, they would not destroy this family heirloom, which made her feel that she really had to try it.

However, this is the family heirloom of the Qin family after all, so Qin Miaomiao had to ask Grandpa for instructions first.

Soon Qin Miaomiao called Qin Fenghua, and told Qin Fenghua about the situation here, especially Luo Fan's theory, and wanted to know whether to follow Luo Fan's words in the next step.

Qin Fenghua on the other end of the phone did not expect that the problem that could not be solved by Cheng's family for more than a month, Luo Fan came to have a result in less than a day.

Although Luo Fan's theory seems nonsense, it can be justified. Qin Fenghua, who had no other way, planned to let Luo Fan try.

However, this is his family heirloom after all, even if he wants to do that, it must be done in front of his own eyes. Thinking of this, Qin Fenghua asked for another leave and planned to go back.

It is also fortunate that the Antique Association has adapted to the arrival of the new president, and it can be regarded as on the right track. Otherwise, at the rate of Qin Fenghua's leave, there may be some troubles.

Luo Fan thought he would have to wait for a long time, but he didn't expect Qin Fenghua to rush over in just ten minutes. Judging by his vigor, he didn't look like an old man at all.

The three of them didn't talk nonsense, they just stood around the blue and white lotus jar with a hundred longevity pattern, and Luo Fan thoughtfully handed Qin Fenghua a small hammer so that he could reveal the secret of the heirloom by himself.

However, Qin Fenghua raised his hammer and gestured at the key raised point for a long time, but he just didn't make a move.

Qin Fenghua thought for a long time, then handed the hammer to Qin Miaomiao and said: "After all, this is a family heirloom of our Qin family. Although it is impossible to destroy its structure as long as the strength is right, I still can't do it."

"Good granddaughter, why don't you come?"

Qin Miaomiao said very boldly: "I come and I come. It's not a good idea to leave it like that all the time. Whether it's life or death, I always have to see the truth."

After finishing speaking, under the gaze of the other two, Qin Miaomiao raised the hammer high, then gently lowered it, and directly hit the key point.

With the crisp sound of "dong", it was announced that the hammer had come into close contact with the key points.

It's just that the three of them were looking forward to it, but they didn't find any changes in the blue and white tangled lotus pot with a hundred longevity pattern.

Qin Miaomiao asked suspiciously: "Luo Fan, could it be that your method is unreliable?"

"I'm unreliable?" Luo Fan couldn't calm down anymore. Is there anyone more reliable than me?

Luo Fan directly spread his hands in front of Qin Miaomiao, motioning for her to hand over the hammer to him. With her smashing method, although there was a sound, she didn't use any strength at all. It would be hell if she smashed it open.

After receiving the hammer from Qin Miaomiao, Luo Fan didn't have the psychological pressure of the two of them, and directly grasped the most suitable strength, and hit the key point with the hammer.

This time, with a crisp sound, the blue-and-white lotus jar with a hundred-shou pattern did respond.

It's just that this reaction seems a little too big, and I don't know how much effort Luo Fan used. Countless cracks appeared on the surface of the blue and white tangled lotus pot with a hundred longevity pattern.

These cracks centered on the key point and began to spread to the surroundings, and soon spread all over the body of the blue and white intertwined branch lotus Baishou pattern jar.

Qin Fenghua clutched his chest, he felt that Luo Fan was going to make him sick from fright, this was his family heirloom, and it was actually destroyed by Luo Fan's hands.

Qin Miaomiao also looked at the cracked blue-and-white tangled lotus pot with a hundred-shou pattern in shock, and wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything, after all, they agreed to this plan.

Compared with the two of them, Luo Fan was very calm, and said calmly: "Don't look at the blue and white tangled branch lotus and Baishou pattern jar as exaggerated, but it just proves my speculation."

"It is impossible for ordinary porcelain to show such an exaggerated crack even if it is hit hard. It is only because of the principle similar to Rupert's tears that this kind of reaction can occur."
