Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 85: Relief carving on the front of the pavement, gold-plated craftsmanship!

Lin Ran slowly opened his bag without any ink.

Seeing the furnace body gradually revealed here, Fang Dahai couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"Brother Lin, is this the Xuande stove?" Fang Dahai took the incense burner, put it on the table and looked at it carefully.

"Brother Fang has great eyesight!"

"There are too many imitations of Xuande stoves. To this day, I have never seen a genuine Xuande stove." Fang Dahai said with interest.

Lin Ran never disappoints him. If it is authenticated, his shop can be upgraded.

"If you say it's a Xuande furnace from the Xuande period, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." Lin Ran understood that Fang Dahai knew the goods and didn't want to trick his old friend, so he told the truth.

Knowing that the Xuande furnace was not genuine, Fang Dahai showed a hint of disappointment.

"Although this is not an authentic product, it is also an imitation made during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It can be sold at a good price in the industry." Lin Ran explained.

"During the Kangxi period?"

Fang Dahai, who was originally disappointed, showed a hint of joy.

"Yes, it's an incense burner made with gold and gold, and it's of good quality!"

"I know Brother Fang likes it." Lin Ran smiled and said, "You have a literary temperament about you."

Hearing this, Fang Dahai puffed up his chest.

He particularly likes the feeling of being called a cultural person rather than a person in the antique circle.

You must know that Xuande stove was an essential appliance in the study in ancient times.

It’s easy to feel sleepy while reading, and the humid climate makes it easy for books to get wet.

Scholars often place an incense burner in their study room and light an incense stick, which not only adds fragrance, but also has the effect of refreshing and removing moisture.

Therefore, the Xuande furnace is also considered a symbol of literati.

This is especially true in dynasties that valued culture over military affairs.

Xuande stove no longer refers to the incense burner made in the third year of Xuande's reign, but has become a category.

"Yes, since it is a Xuande furnace from the Kangxi period, it still has a certain collection value." Fang Dahai praised.

"Brother Fang has a sharp eye, and I admire him." Lin Ran complimented again.

Fang Dahai tilted his head slightly and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, please stop making fun of me."

Lin Ran was already a distinguished guest of Shaofou Zhai, so naturally he didn't need to be too rigid about etiquette, and the two of them talked about business as if they were doing business as usual.

"Brother Lin, I want to know how you can tell that this is a Xuande furnace from the Kangxi period?"

All Xuande furnaces have the words Xuande three years printed on the bottom, making it impossible to determine the year.

Lin Ran explained: "The relief at the head of the shop has the four-character seal script "Longevity without Borders". This kind of relief is used to decorate Xuande furnaces, which is actually very rare. Only official kilns in the early Qing Dynasty would use this kind of relief."

"If you look carefully, you will find that it is thick, solid, and dignified. It is used to symbolize that when Kangxi was in power, the country was stable and the country was prosperous and the people were strong. It inherits the strength of the founding of the country to expand the territory, and internal strife in the country's affairs is to consolidate the country!"

Lin Ran spoke impassionedly, and Fang Dahai was fascinated.

It seems that the prosperous age of the Qing Dynasty is just around the corner.

After Lin Ran explained it, he realized that the overall casting process of the Xuande furnace in his hand was exquisite, and in fact, it reflected the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty.

Although it is an antique imitation, it is definitely out of print among the Qing Dynasty imitation Xuande furnaces and is a veritable treasure!

"Good stuff! Taught!"

After listening to Lin Ran's explanation, Fang Dahai felt that the Xuande stove in his hand became heavier.

The incense burner is only twenty centimeters, but it weighs nearly ten kilograms.

It is slightly heavier than an ordinary copper furnace, and precious metals are obviously added.

"The beauty of Xuanlu is that the color of the treasure contains pearls, and the outside shows the tranquility and tranquility!"

A delighted smile appeared on Fang Dahai's face. He had determined that this was the Xuande furnace built during the Kangxi period.

"Brother Fang, are you willing to purchase this thing?" Lin Ran asked.

Standing next to Lin Ran, Fang Dahai was already in a state of obsession, how could he not give up.

He asked: "Brother Lin, this Xuande stove is worth a lot of money. How much do you plan to sell it for?"

"What do you think of 1000 yuan?" Lin Ran asked tentatively.

"Hmm..." Fang Dahai seemed to be thinking about the value of the Xuande furnace in his hand.

According to his estimate, the actual value is about 800 yuan.

Fang Dahai originally wanted to lower the price, but after seeing Lin Ran's smiling face, he immediately changed his mind.

He coughed lightly and said: "Brother Lin, to tell you the truth, the price of this Xuande furnace is only 800 yuan in my estimation. Look..."

Hear the other party's offer. Linr nodded with some relief.

The estimated price in my heart is almost the same. Fang Dahai is indeed a real person!

So he smiled and said, "I haven't paid for a long time, so I'll do what my brother said and settle the deal for 800 yuan!"

"Is this true?"

Fang Dahai didn't expect Lin Ran to be so cheerful.

"of course."

"Okay!" Fang Dahai immediately ordered the waiter to put away the Xuande stove. He went behind the counter, counted the number, and then handed it to Lin Ran with both hands.

Fang Hai himself is a well-known businessman in the city, and he is particularly fond of antiques for study rooms.

Naturally, Xuandelu is no stranger to him either. His expression of finding a treasure shows that he really seems to have picked up a treasure.

But Lin Ran was a little confused.

Why was Fang Dahai so honest and told him the estimate directly?

This is not in line with the habits of a businessman.

"Brother Lin, count the money and take it."

Lin Ran put the money into his pocket without asking.

I heard Fang Dahai say with a smile: "If you become successful in the future, don't forget me, brother. My Shaofou Zhai is open to you at any time."

Fang Dahai didn't say it clearly, but he was certain that Lin Ran's achievements in the future would be absolutely limitless!

The desire to make friends is strong in my heart.

Although you spend 800 yuan to buy a Xuande furnace from the Kangxi period, you may not be able to make a lot of money.

If you resell it to someone else, you will only get a profit of one or two hundred at best.

If anyone else wanted to sell it at this price, he would have been kicked out of Shaofou Zhai long ago.

However, Lin Ran was different.

Through many exchanges, Fang Dahai already knew how powerful Lin Ran was.

The most important thing is that there may be a mysterious expert guiding Lin Ran behind him!
