Chapter 304 News
Fang Hao smiled, noncommittal.

Seeing Fang Hao's expression, Lu Kaiming guessed that Fang Hao didn't believe his words, so he raised his hand and said, "I've seen the real thing, if I lie to you, there will be a thunderbolt from the sky."

Fang Hao smiled slightly: "If he is really as powerful as you said, wouldn't there be a single imitation firewood kiln in the industry?"

Lu Kaiming immediately explained: "I knew this person by accident, and I was not familiar with him, but I also asked this question at the time, and he told me that his research on firewood kiln was just a hobby, and he wanted to restore the legendary precious porcelain. , without any idea of ​​selling it, even if he can develop a finished product that is fake in the future, he will donate the formula to the country."

Speaking of this, he added another sentence: "Of course, he said this. As for whether he can do it, it is not up to me to decide."

Fang Hao was also dubious in his heart. Of course, if there is such a master, he would definitely want to know it. It’s okay to believe that Lu Kaiming came here once. Anyway, even if it’s fake, there won’t be much loss except wasting some energy: " Please explain first, why I am very high-profile."

Seeing that Fang Hao finally agreed, Lu Kaiming breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, "Let's talk about it beforehand. Don't tell anyone else what happened next. I said it, and I won't admit it."

Fang Hao was noncommittal: "Just tell me."

Lu Kaiming said: "You know Liu Manxing, right? He actually said this when he was having dinner with Wu Hongchang."

At the beginning, Liu Manxing and Wu Hongchang sang and drank, which made Li Mingchao lose face. Later, Fang Hao relied on the system and pretended to pick up on Liu Manxing, which made these two people lose face. From then on, they formed a relationship. Liang Zi.

So what Lu Kaiming said, Fang Hao thinks it should be true.

Later, Fang Hao asked Lu Kaiming if he knew any other details. Lu Kaiming said that apart from hearing Wu Hongchang scolding Fang Hao, he didn't know what else happened in private, and finally swore to Fang Hao, He didn't lie.

Fang Hao believed that Wu Hongchang and Liu Manxing should have private thoughts of dealing with him, but even if Lu Kaiming knew about this kind of thing, he would not tell him without some price.Of course, knowing this, he was also prepared.

Immediately, Lu Kaiming discussed with the old man again, and then prepared to take Fang Hao to that family.

In fact, Lu Kaiming also wanted to ask the owner of the hotel to go quickly. Of course, the owner of the hotel would not lie in such troubled waters, so he declined Lu Kaiming.

Afterwards, the owner of the homestay took Li Mingchao and Ma Hongfei back to the homestay, and Fang Hao followed Lu Kaiming and the others to the villagers' homes.

Lu Kaiming made an introduction to both parties. The old man's name is Hu Youqiang, from Jinmen, and he is Lu Kaiming's uncle. This time, he came to Xingzhou to visit relatives with his grandson who came back from abroad.Lu Kaiming was responsible for driving them to Xingzhou.

Hu Youqiang usually has a hobby of collecting antiques. This time he listened to Lu Kaiming's advice and came to this small mountain village to buy antiques.

When they got here, they found the fellow from the village and went up to the door. The head of the household learned of their purpose and showed them a multicolored porcelain pot.

After Hu Youqiang read it, he was a little confused about the authenticity of the porcelain, so he asked the head of the household if he had any other items.

Seeing that Hu Youqiang suspected that there was something wrong with the porcelain, the head of the household seemed a little unhappy, saying that he would talk about the multicolored porcelain pots first, and then talk about other things.

When Hu Youqiang saw the head of the household like this, he became even more suspicious that there was something wrong with the porcelain, but he didn't say anything dead, saying that he had to think about it first.

Afterwards, the three of them went to the farmhouse for dinner first, and then took a stroll around the neighborhood. By the way, they asked which family had antiques for sale, but they didn't find anything in the end.

Speaking of it, in the past few decades, many people like to go to the countryside to buy some antiques, because at that time, due to the lack of information, many rural people did not understand this antique, so many good things have attracted many antique buyers. Bought at a cheap price.

Nowadays, with the development of information, many rural people know that antiques are valuable. In addition, good things are basically taken away, and there are no good things in the countryside.

In addition, some people took advantage of people's belief that there are still valuable antiques in the countryside, deliberately set up a trap, and many people were deceived.

Therefore, unless definite clues are received, not many people go to the countryside to collect antiques.

The three of them originally planned to go back, but they happened to see the conflict between the off-road vehicle driver and the van driver, so they stood and watched for a while.

Afterwards, Lu Kaiming saw Fang Hao, told Hu Youqiang Fang Hao's identity, and suggested asking Fang Hao to go over to palm him, and Hu Youqiang didn't want to return empty-handed, so he agreed.

When the group of people approached the door of that family's house, they saw the head of the household was taking out the garbage, and saw a group of people coming. In addition to the three people they saw in the morning, there was also a handsome young man.

The two parties greeted each other, and the head of the household said to everyone: "Brother, have you discussed it?"

Hu Youqiang said: "Let's take another look. As long as the item is okay and the price is right, I will definitely buy it."

"Say nonsense."

The head of the household muttered something in a low voice, and then invited everyone into the house.

After entering the house, the hostess saw them and muttered, "Why are you here again?"

The head of the household glared at his wife: "Go and take out that porcelain jar from this morning."

The hostess said nothing more, turned around and went to the back room, and the head of the household invited everyone to be seated.

Lu Kaiming took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and handed it to the head of the household, and then lit a cigarette for the head of the household. If I am happy, I will take the initiative to bring out some old items from the bottom of the box.

Lu Kaiming said with a smile: "Master, I will trouble you this time."

The head of the household took a puff of cigarette and said, "To be honest, I think it is not easy for you to come here, otherwise I will only give you one chance. Like a few days ago, someone wanted this porcelain jar from my house and asked for a price. 2 yuan, I ignored him and let him go."

Hu Kaiming's grandson was young after all. Hearing this, he was very dissatisfied, and it showed on his face inadvertently.

Fortunately, Lu Kaiming reacted quickly, tugged at the boy's sleeve, and then asked with a smile, "Master, how much is your psychological price suitable?"

"At least fifty or sixty thousand." The head of the household said vaguely.

At this time, the hostess came out with her things. She put the porcelain on the table, said, "I don't sell it if it's cheap," and sat down on the small bench at the door.

Lu Kaiming gave Fang Hao a look and asked Fang Hao to identify the authenticity of the porcelain.

In fact, as soon as Fang Hao saw the real thing, he knew that it was a genuine product, but it should not be official kiln porcelain.

As soon as he got the item, he affirmed his judgment, it should be a piece of five-color porcelain from Kangxi folk kiln.

The five-color wares of Kangxi folk kilns are not as constrained as official kilns, so the themes are rich and diverse. In addition to flowers, plum magpies, ladies in ancient costumes, there are also opera figures.When depicting various images, the lines drawn are concise and powerful, and after applying various colors, it gives people a sense of clarity.

This piece of multicolored porcelain has such characteristics. The overall layout of the picture is sparse, the composition is exquisite, and the peonies are vivid and vivid.

Observing this porcelain jar from the overall charm, it fits well with Kangxi porcelain.The shape of the vessel is huge, the curvature is full, and the sense of strength is more obvious; the overall composition of the picture conforms to the style and features of the early Qing Dynasty, from which we can observe the painting characteristics of the Kangxi period such as double wooden peonies.

After Fang Hao observed it carefully, he put the jar back on the table and asked the head of the household, "Master, may I ask, is this jar inherited from your family?"

The head of the household said with certainty: "Of course it is inherited from the ancestors. I remember that it has been passed down for several generations. Our family used to be a big family in the village. I remember that there were several jars like this when I was young, but the others were all thrown away, and only This one is down.

Fang Hao nodded slightly: "This jar should have a lid, right?"

The head of the household was honest: "There was indeed a cover before, but it was also broken."

Hu Youqiang frowned slightly: "Without the cap, the price will be greatly reduced."

The head of the household waved his hand: "Of course I know, if there is a cover, it will cost at least [-]. Do you want something?"

"The key price must be appropriate." Fang Hao's words confirmed that there was no problem with the authenticity of the item, but the price was too expensive.

Lu Kaiming believed in Fang Hao's judgment, so he bargained with the head of the household. Finally, under Fang Hao's hint, the deal was finally settled at 8000 yuan.

Because the jar was not covered, Hu Youqiang was actually a little dissatisfied, so he asked the head of the household if there were any other old objects.

The head of the household quickly asked his wife to go to the house and brought a white jade statue.

This jade statue is not bad, and the workmanship is also good. It should be a jade in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Fang Hao thinks that the market price is around 3.

Both parties are very happy at this price, buying and selling, one is willing to buy, the other is willing to sell, mutual consent.If it is sold in the village, this is a high price.It's normal to double it once or twice.The so-called platform is different, the audience is different.

Lu Kaiming transferred money to the bank card of the head of the household on behalf of Hu Youqiang, and when the head of the household received the money, everyone left.

After leaving the house, Hu Youqiang was a little far away from that family. Then he asked Fang Hao, "Mr. Fang, I have never had the chance to ask you about the porcelain pot before. Can you explain it to me now?"

Fang Hao directly explained: "This is a colorful porcelain from the Kangxi folk kiln. Looking at the painting and color materials of this plate, it is relatively close to the early Qing Dynasty. The characteristics of the craftsmanship are also closely related to the times. The bottom of this pot has a piece of porcelain that was fired during the firing process. Naturally formed glaze shrinkage points.

This kind of workmanship defect is also one of the key points of identification. We can observe the ring foot and find that the foot wall is narrow and high. This process has high requirements on the quality of the mud. It is possible to be thicker.In addition, various embossed styles were popular during the Kangxi period. For example, this piece is a double-circle deciduous style, which was one of the commonly used ways of signing at that time. "

Fang Hao talked eloquently and pointed out several main identification points one by one.

Hu Youqiang nodded again and again, very satisfied, no wonder his nephew respected Fang Hao so much, it seems that there are indeed some brushes.

Fang Hao smiled modestly, then looked at Lu Kaiming.

Lu Kaiming knew what Fang Hao meant: "Uncle, you go to the car first, and I will have a few words with Teacher Fang alone."

"Ok."

　The condition is not very good, let's be like this today
