Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps

"Brother Fei, this white jade pen holder looks great. Even if it is not an antique, it is still valuable if sold as jade.

As for this inkstone, what are the benefits of a mud inkstone?Why do you have to bring it?It's heavy and easy to reveal. "

"You don't understand this. There are articles on pen holders and inkstones... Let me test you first. Do you know when the pen holder appeared?"

If Professor Jin had been at the scene, he would have definitely recognized that the two young men talking loudly in front of him were the maintenance workers who helped him repair the toilet.

The short young man with a smile on his face shook his head, "Brother Fei, I am uneducated. I haven't studied much since I was a child. I rarely even use a pen, let alone a pen holder."

The handsome young man was none other than Qin Hongfei, who was crossing the Hong Kong River with a gasoline barrel wrapped around his waist. He pointed at the white jade pen holder and said,

"Ah San, listen to me. In the past, pen holders were used. Pen holders only appeared in the Ming Dynasty, not many years ago.

The reason why antiques are valuable is not only related to the year, but also related to their origin and origin.

This pen holder was not produced by an official kiln, nor was it made by a jade expert. If you treat it as a piece of jade and sell it on consignment, it will be a big loss. "

Ah San looked confused, "Brother Fei, according to you, the pen holder is not valuable? Then why do we go to a five-star hotel to break into the empty space?"

"The pen holder is valuable, but you will lose money if you sell it alone. It must be matched with this inkstone. When they are matched together, and then make a fuss about the origin and origin, the value is guaranteed to double."

Qin Hongfei was confident and directed Ah San to bring over the cooking pot, fill it with water, and then put the yellow mud inkstone into the pot.

After cooking for more than ten minutes, the gelatin on the surface of the yellow mud inkstone also fell off, the pot was turbid, and the inkstone revealed its true body as white as jade.

Ah San was stunned, and he slapped his thigh hard, "I finally understand why that guy's toilet was blocked. He poured the water that boiled the pen holder into the toilet, right?"

"You finally have a brain, you who play antiques? Who has never made a fake? Putting glue on the outside of old toys is the most common method of counterfeiting.

You quickly pour the water in the pot while it's hot. You have to use this pot for cooking tomorrow. "

Ah San rushed to work, and after he had cleaned up the pot, he gathered around Qin Hongfei again like a follower, "Brother Fei, tell me quickly, what's the point of this cylinder and inkstone?"

"When it comes to this barrel and inkstone, we have to talk about the Carpenter Emperor, Zhu Youxiao, the 15th emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, other emperors were good at civil and martial arts, but Zhu Youxiao was the only one who became famous throughout the ages because of his good work as a carpenter.

Have you heard of the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian?Wei Zhongxian was a subordinate of the carpenter emperor.

A cowardly king paired with a treacherous minister. When Wei Zhongxian saw that the emperor was not doing his job properly, he was happy and he tried to do what he wanted. The emperor liked to do carpentry work, so Wei Zhongxian collected good wood for him everywhere.

In the sixth year of Emperor Carpenter's accession to the throne, Wei Zhongxian obtained a piece of fine sandalwood and presented it with a piece of Hetian jade.

Perhaps because he was tired of making too much furniture, the carpenter emperor was not interested in the wood. Instead, he picked up a carving knife and carved an inkstone and a pen holder out of Hotan jade.

You see, these two objects are in front of you. Why do I say that the pen holder is not worth selling alone?

Because there is no bottom mark under the pen holder, there is a bottom mark under the inkstone. If these two objects are matched together, everyone will know that they were carved by the emperor and cut out from a piece of jade, so that they have their origin and origin. "

After Qin Hongfei finished speaking, he turned the inkstone over and let Ah San see the words engraved on the bottom. Sure enough, it was Zhu Youxiao.

Ah San was excited and looked at the white jade inkstone with hot eyes, "This inkstone is of good jade quality and comes from a famous family, so it must be very valuable, right?"

Let’s find someone knowledgeable and sell it quietly..."

"Sell it quietly? If you can't sell it for a good price, I'm going to ask the auction house to auction these two items. The one with the highest price will get it." Qin Hongfei has already made a plan.

Ah San was startled, "Brother Fei, are you crazy? These are stolen things, and sending them to the auction house? Doesn't that mean you're asking for trouble?"

"The man surnamed Jin is from the mainland. He took a regular route and had to go through security check.

Didn't you see the glue on the pen holder?He must have concealed the truth and covered the two treasures with glue, thus hiding them from the customs.

We got these two treasures from him. This is called eating black things. He can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and he will never dare to call the police. Qin Hongfei said with a smile.

Ah San's eyes lit up, "You're right, why didn't I think of that?"

Qin Hongfei smiled and said nothing, what does he do?

Fighting upside down and robbing tombs, licking blood from the blade of the knife, he is the best at reading people's hearts.

All in all, it had been some time since Qin Hongfei arrived in Xiangjiang.

Crossing the Xiangjiang River is easy to say, but people without certain physical fitness and luck will not be able to cross it.

The sea is turbulent with undertows and rocks are everywhere. If you are unlucky, if a wave sweeps over, there will only be corpses floating on the sea.

Even a strong man like Qin Hongfei was injured secretly while crossing the river and was knocked unconscious on the beach by a wave. If the passing Ah San hadn't saved him, he would have returned to his hometown long ago.

After waking up, Qin Hongfei and Ah San became brothers with different surnames.

Ah San has a good nature and is a kind person, but unfortunately he has no abilities.

After Qin Hongfei recovered his health, he resorted to means and purchased several old gadgets one after another, thus improving the situation of the two brothers.

It's a pity that he can only support his family in a small way and cannot make a lot of money. Qin Hongfei has always been thinking about becoming a big one.

Although he is in Xiangjiang, he has not cut off his connection with the mainland.

He heard from his former brothers that someone had replaced the inkstone and pen holder carved by the carpenter emperor himself and was about to take them to Xiangjiang for cash, when he had the idea of ​​cheating.

In Qin Hongfei's view, Professor Jin, who brought a white jade inkstone and pen holder out of the country, was a polite scum. If not, who would he cheat?

Professor Jin brought out the white jade inkstone and pen holder. He was probably planning to rely on these two national treasures to take root in Hong Kong. If these two treasures were lost, he would have nothing to rely on and would have to go back to the mainland.

Does he dare to admit that he took the national treasure out of custody privately?

Therefore, Qin Hongfei concluded that Professor Jin did not dare to speak out at all.

The two of them observed for another day and found that there was no movement at the five-star hotel.

This shows that things were just as they expected, and Professor Jin did not call the police at all.

Qin Hongfei sent the white jade inkstone and pen holder to the Guardian Auction House, the largest in Hong Kong, and entrusted the auction house to auction them.

Guardian Auction House asked experts to identify the white jade inkstone and pen holder. After confirming that both items were genuine, they immediately signed a contract with Qin Hongfei.

Guardian is an auction house, and the more precious the items, the more they can increase their popularity.

The inkstone and pen holder made by the carpenter emperor himself were full of gimmicks. After signing the contract, the auction house couldn't wait to add these two items to the auction list to attract wealthy businessmen to buy them.

A great treasure appeared in Xiangjiang, and I don’t know who it will end up with in the future. When others heard this news, most people would sigh with regret. Another national treasure was going to be lost overseas, but Professor Jin fainted...
