Appreciation of treasures

Chapter 986 The answer is revealed
When the yellow cloth was uncovered, everyone was shocked by the scene before them.

A simple and simple atmosphere rushed over, making everyone's eyes unable to move away.

Zhao Gang looked carefully, and sure enough, he saw a lifelike Bodhisattva statue in front of him. The carving of the Bodhisattva statue was extremely fine, and all the details represented extremely high casting technology.

A peaceful Bodhisattva, with Buddha's seal on his hands, sits on the lotus throne, his body is gilded, and he is in full lotus posture, with extraordinary demeanor.

The surrounding crowd began to praise.

"Huo, good guy, what a gold-plated Buddha statue. Look at the workmanship and style. It is definitely a good thing. Master Zhao Gang said that it was used by the emperor in the Qing Dynasty. Finally, it opened our eyes."

"Old Dong, how much do you think this thing can sell for?"

"Vulgar, really vulgar, unbearably vulgar. Can such an antique be measured by price? It must be a treasure handed over to the museum. It can be used to study the history of past dynasties. Valuing it with money is a waste of time." It's third rate."

"Tch, if you say that, it's just an ordinary antique. It's not as old as the Ming Dynasty. What's so special about it?"

"Don't you understand this? This thing is a ruthless figure used by the palace. Can it be an ordinary ancient treasure like you imagined?"

Mr. Tang, listening to everyone's gossip, feels secretly refreshed.

Showing your face in front of these people is one of the great pleasures of antique lovers. Listening to others praise their treasures, the feeling is as sour and refreshing as electricity passing through the spine.

Mr. Tang said with a smile: "My dear friends, it's no big deal if you love it. It's just a small Buddha statue in the Qianlong period. Don't make a fuss about it."

Zhao Gang looked at Mr. Tang thoughtfully and said, "Mr. Tang, may I ask, where did you get this thing?"

Mr. Tang said with a smile: "I knew that you, expert Zhao, would be worried about this problem, because our museum also has one of these things. You will naturally have doubts and ask me what's going on. I expected it."

"Before I came here, I had already promised to donate this thing to the museum. You don't have to worry about it. As for the origin of this thing, I bought it at an auction in Country Y, because I happened to be in that place for vacation. , I saw those foreign devils auctioning off the treasures that were snatched from our Huaguo, so naturally we can't let them buy them so easily."

When Zhao Gang heard this, he felt a sense of awe. He quickly stood up and said to Mr. Tang: "Mr. Tang is so righteous, Zhao Gang admires him, such a patriotic heart, which is rare in the antique circle now."

Deep down in his heart, Zhao Gang naturally has a lot of respect and affection for collectors like Mr. Tang who are very patriotic, because they often don't care about their own gains and losses and interests, but look to the country in everything.

How can people not feel admiration for such a mind?

Mr. Tang smiled heartily and said: "What's the matter? I can't wait to redeem all the ancient relics left abroad.

Zhao Gang nodded, convinced, and said: "It is true. Since the Qing Dynasty, many treasures and cultural relics were lost in the Eight Kingdoms catastrophe. It is a pity and sad! But now, everything lost before will eventually be lost." They were recovered piece by piece."

Mr. Tang also said with a smile: "Master Zhao Gang is also a chivalrous man. Being able to make friends with Mr. Zhao Gang today is a more surprising thing than appraising this gold-plated Bodhisattva."

Zhao Gang cupped his hands: "Mr. Tang was joking, Zhao Gang is just an unknown person, there is no need to bring me to this level, the name of master is just some private name of friends in the circle."

At this time, the treasure friends next to him hadn't recovered from the fact that Zhao Gang had magically appraised treasures just now, they all looked at Zhao Gang eagerly, and didn't hear what Zhao Gang had just exchanged with Mr. Tang at all.

Everyone was immersed in Zhao Gang's magical ability to appreciate treasures, and they were amazed.

"Master Zhao, your eyesight, no, it cannot be said to be eyesight, but your ability to identify treasures is really miraculous, miraculous. In my entire life, I, Old Chen, have never seen such a powerful expert in identifying treasures. When I see you today, It can be said that I have not spent most of my life in this antique circle."

Zhao Gang smiled and said: "It's actually nothing. As long as everyone accumulates over time, you will be able to reach my level one day. Don't be too surprised."

Everyone was really convinced this time, and they didn't really think that they could do it, because Zhao Gang's move was too difficult.

Everyone praised him one after another, and even started to ask Zhao Gang if he would accept his apprentice.

"Master Zhao, do you want to accept me as an apprentice or not? It's fine if you want to accept me as an apprentice. I will never have a second heart for you, and I am willing to pay the tuition fee. What do you think?"

"Master Zhao, if you want to accept a disciple, you have to accept someone like us. Look at him, who is over fifty years old. He looks like he won't live for a few years. He won't look good when he is taken out. Master Zhao Gang, Look at our spirit and love for antiques. If you want to recruit a disciple, you must give priority to me. Money is definitely not an issue."

"Hey, I said, old Wu, what are you talking about here? Master Zhao doesn't like me, so can he fall in love with you? You are a rock that crawled out of a latrine, and you want to climb up to Master Zhao, a powerful master! , is simply wishful thinking.”

"Master Zhao, look at the two of them, one and two, they started to quarrel before they became apprentices, and they will be accepted as apprentices in the future, how can they have a stable life? Just look at my personality, I will definitely not give you a good name." It's definitely better than these two veterans, if you want to recruit apprentices, you don't have to think about them at all, just think about me."

Zhao Gang didn't say a word, and the scene was already arguing over who was qualified to be Zhao Gang's apprentice.

Zhao Gang couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this scene, because he hadn't even said that he wanted to take apprentices yet, and it was a strange scene that they could actually quarrel.

Zhao Gang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Okay, my dear friends, I, Zhao Gang, have little qualifications, and I have no plans to accept apprentices at the moment, so please stop arguing. For the time being, I really can't accept apprentices. I'm really sorry. , I'm sorry everyone."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Gang's persuasion not only failed to persuade everyone, but the situation intensified instead.
