Antique Dealer

Chapter 114
"can."

Fang Hao regarded it as Qian Min's test for himself, and picked up the silver coins for appraisal. His speed was very fast, and within a short while, more than 100 silver coins were all appraised.

"Let's just talk about two questions. These silver dollar coatings are not old-fashioned. They have a new rust color like sludge. They don't penetrate into the bone and will fall off with a light wipe. There is no sense of age. In addition, the tooth pattern does not conform to the typical shape of the tooth pattern. There is no transition. There are traces of machine grinding along the edge, artificially created traces of circulation and wear. Therefore, these silver dollars are very common imitations, even beginners, as long as they are careful, it is difficult to be deceived."

Yang Wencan's face was gloomy after hearing these words, especially the last sentence, which deeply hurt his heart and made him feel ashamed.

Yang Zongdao glared at his son and reprimanded, "Shame!"

"Young people, there will always be times when you will be fooled, just learn from experience and lessons."

After a few words of persuasion, Qian Min got up and said, "Brother Yang, I still have something to do, so let's go first, and I will keep an eye on this case."

"Hey, I'm really bothering you!" Yang Zongdao thanked Qian Min repeatedly while holding Qian Min's hand.

After seeing off Yang Zongdao and his son, Qian Min said to Fang Hao: "I heard that people in your profession speak more tactfully."

Fang Hao had a smile on his face: "If you speak euphemistically, it depends on the target. In his case, speak more emphatically to clear his mind, and what I said is the truth. If he is still controlled by greed, and there is no corresponding response. Appraisal ability, it is likely to come to trouble you."

"What you said is the truth." As a veteran criminal policeman, Qian Min has come into contact with many victims of being deceived. The situations of being deceived are varied. Most of them are affected by greed. Some people even have been deceived five or six times before realizing it. , or being deceived once to call the police, and then continue to be deceived and then call the police after a while, such examples are not uncommon.

Then, Qian Min talked about going to Xijing: "Fang Hao, you are going to Xijing this time. You are going to play the role of my nephew. He has just started collecting antiques and has systematically learned some identification knowledge, but he has no actual combat experience."

Fang Hao nodded and said: "This is no problem, what else do I need to do in the meantime?"

Qian Min said: "You just need to use your identification ability to identify the real product from the fake."

"Identify the real product from the fake one?" Fang Hao was very surprised. He didn't expect his task to be this. Could it be that the criminal suspect is a master at counterfeiting?

"I'll tell you the specifics after you pass the exam."

Qian Min didn't say much, and took Fang Hao into a room, poured Fang Hao a glass of water, asked Fang Hao to sit and wait for a while, and then went out.

"How about it?"

After Qian Min went out, he went to do some things before returning to the monitoring room.

The colleague said: "Don't be impatient. Seeing that you didn't come back, he kept looking at his mobile phone. Judging from his facial expression, it is less likely that he is watching videos or news."

"It's good if you can bear your temper." Qian Min was very satisfied with Fang Hao's performance, left the monitoring room, went to the physical evidence room, and took a bronze vessel.

"Sorry, there are some things to deal with just now, you should wait." Qian Min put the bronze vessel on the table.

Fang Hao raised his mobile phone: "Modern people can pass the time with a mobile phone."

Qian Min said: "That's true, but it also has its disadvantages. Like my son, when it's holidays, he uses his mobile phone to watch videos all day long. It takes a whole day to waste time. Don't listen, do you have any good ideas?"

Fang Hao scratched the back of his head: "I don't know how to answer this question. I guess I can only guide him. For example, guide him to love learning, and the mobile phone becomes his learning tool."

Qian Min nodded secretly, and said, "If he loves to study, I won't worry as much as I do now. Well, let's not talk about it, just take a look at this small bronze tripod!"

Fang Hao said hello, and as soon as he put his eyes on the bronze vessel on the table, he heard someone knock on the door. Qian Min went to open the door, and saw an old man and a young man standing at the door.

"Old Hu, why are you here?"

Old Hu spoke very kindly: "It's not that I heard that our bureau is recruiting special cultural relics appraisers, so I recommend my friend's nephew to come and have a try."

The young man also saluted very politely: "Hi Captain Qian, my name is Tian Yingqiu, and I studied under Qingjia's chief appraiser Han Qingzhong."

Qingjia is a very well-known auction company in China. Qingjia's chief appraiser enjoys a high reputation in the industry. Fang Hao has also heard of Han Qingzhong, who is an authority on porcelain and miscellaneous items.

Qian Min was calm on the surface, but he was a little dissatisfied in his heart. People can recommend him, but he must be notified in advance. Like the current situation, he hates it the most. But he has to give Lao Hu face, so he can only say: " Come in, I just brought a small bronze tripod, you should take a look together."

Seeing that Qian Min did not object, Old Hu was also relieved. He had worked with Qian Min for many years, how could he not know Qian Min's character, but he was not good at rejecting his friends, and because of time constraints, he had no choice but to kill first and play later.

Tian Yingqiu walked into the room, only glanced at Fang Hao, then glanced at the bronze vessels on the table: "Captain Qian, can I have a look at this small bronze tripod now?"

"excuse me."

Fang Hao could feel Tian Yingqiu's contempt, and he might be a competitor, so he simply said bluntly: "This thing is not a tripod, but a 鬲."

Ding was originally the most common ancient tableware. It is generally in the form of a three-legged round tripod or a four-legged square tripod. Water and meat can be put in it, and firewood is lit underneath to heat it.In my country's Bronze Age, the tripod became the most important ritual vessel, even linked to the status of the user.

The shape of the ge is very similar to that of the tripod. The important difference between the two is that the feet of the tripod are solid, while the feet of the ge are hollow.

Therefore, most of the tripod feet we see are tall and thin, while the Li feet are thick and strong.From an aesthetic point of view, tripod feet are beautiful, but from a practical point of view, Li feet are more practical.

This is because in the process of cooking, the feet of the tripod are burned red, and the heat is wasted in vain, while the feet of the 鬲 can directly transfer the heat to the hot water in the middle to heat the food, which is more efficient.

Therefore, Ding is mostly used for banquets between nobles, mainly used to cook large pieces of meat, and even whole cattle and sheep can be stuffed into it.The tripods we have seen are huge in scale.Li is mainly used for cooking porridge by small households, and it is generally not too big, and its body shape is almost the same.However, Li also has a disadvantage, that is, the food residue in the middle of Li's feet is particularly difficult to clean.

This shortcoming was infinitely magnified in ancient times when food was relatively scarce, so in the Spring and Autumn Period, Ge gradually withdrew from the historical stage.This also leads to the fact that among the unearthed cultural relics, Li is relatively rare.

From the appearance of this bronze ge, it really looks like a tripod. If you don’t know much about ge, you may be mistaken. However, as Han Qingzhong’s disciple, Tian Yingqiu didn’t even recognize this, so it’s really embarrassing. .

Qian Min immediately pretended to be surprised: "Oh, did I make a mistake, this is a bronze 鬲? Wait, let me ask."

Tian Yingqiu took a closer look and found that it was indeed a bronze tripod. From Qian Min's expression, it was not difficult to find out that saying that it was a bronze tripod was purely for testing, and he said so on purpose.

He knew that he was careless, so he didn't react, and he felt ashamed immediately, but he reacted quickly, and quickly took out his mobile phone pretendingly: "Sorry, I'll answer the call."

With that said, he hurried out the door.
