ghost eye appraiser

Although Chu Chen has a pair of ghost eyes that can easily distinguish between true and false, he cannot rely on these ghost eyes alone to eat and wait for death. The black mist shown by the ghost eyes only reduces his work coefficient and truly appraises antiques. Sometimes, he has to rely on his own eyesight and knowledge to make a decision.

To mix antiques, one must not only have a pair of good eyesight, but also have a certain amount of eloquence to match one's ability. If you simply know the authenticity of this antique, but you can't say one, two, three, it will not be convincing. Nor can it make other people agree with the authenticity of this antique.

Fortunately, Chu Chen's strength was outstanding. Putting aside the layer of black mist, he could tell at a glance that the jadeite snuff bottle on the table was from Xibei.Among other things, just talking about that layer of stealthy light is enough to blind people.

You must know that if something like a snuff bottle is in your hand to play with at any time, if it is really old, then there must be a layer of calm and moist coating on the surface, not the bright and dazzling one next to Zhao Laixin's hand. Imitation works.

An antique that has passed through history, passed through the hands of many collectors, and even was used many times by its owner, often has a layer of leather on the surface that is gradually formed due to dust, sweat, hand stains, or soil burial and water immersion. , this layer of leather is smooth and quiet, washing away the warmth and conservatism of history, which is the "patina" often mentioned by the industry.

And what is inversely proportional to the patina is the "thief light" that is often found on new products just out of the oven, also called "fire light". This kind of luster is impetuous and monotonous, lacking the connotation gradually accumulated in the long history.

These fakes are usually called "Xibei goods" and "eye-catching goods". Xibei, as the name implies, is Jia, that is, fake goods. Eye-catching.

When Chu Chen saw the jadeite snuff bottle, he judged that it was a fake, so he asked Zhao Laixin if he was killing pigs again.

The meaning of killing pigs is easy to understand. Taking out the newly imitated things in their hands and selling them to customers is called killing pigs in their mouths.Who is the pig waiting to be slaughtered can be seen at a glance.

Although the foreigner opposite Zhao Laixin could understand Chinese, he didn't understand the jargon in the industry. He thought they were just chatting, so he didn't ask any more questions.Zhao Laixin understood, he smiled and nodded to Chu Chen, looking like a mountain man with his own tricks.

Chu Chen didn't bother, and took Han Rui to browse the antiques that Zhao Laixin put on the shelf, and taught him a few simple ways to distinguish the authenticity from time to time.

After Zhao Laixin finished bragging, he sent away the gringo holding the jadeite snuff bottle, then closed the shop and set out tea sets to entertain Chu and Chen.

Chu Chen held the purple sand teapot that Zhao Laixin brought up. Seeing that the surface of the purple sand pot was shiny and purple, he touched the bottom of the teapot with his hand and found that there was no signature. Who did you pay for it?"

Zhao Laixin sat aside, smiled and said, "Lao Qi came here evenly, and things from the Qing Dynasty are less expensive."

Chu Chen asked again: "It must be cheap, three thousand?"

Zhao Laixin shook his head, and stretched out his fingers to make a two.Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately scolded with a smile: "If I don't give you five thousand, you will just stare at him and bully him."

"Bah." Zhao Laixin pretended to be angry and said, "That kid has been a favorite of mine, so he should give me two thousand."

The two chatted and laughed, and talked for a while about the recent market situation. Zhao Laixin rolled his eyes, and suddenly got up and walked into the inner room. After a while, he pointed out a jade wrench, waved the wrench in front of Chu Chen, and said: "Xiao Chu, it just so happens that you are here, and help me palm my eyes to see if this thing is real."

Chu Chen casually glanced at it, and saw that the whole body of the finger was white with green in it, the color was elegant and majestic, and it looked tight, a black mist lingered around him, and black and purple were faintly exposed on the inside of the finger. Sensual, just asked: "Where did this finger pull come from? We shouldn't have such a thing here."

Seeing that Chu Chen saw the clue, Zhao Laixin carefully glanced at the door, and then bit his ear and said to Chu Chen, "I bought this from a ghost market a few days ago, and it looked like the real thing to me, so I gritted my teeth evenly." I'm down...Isn't it because I'm afraid that my old eyes will be blurry and I'll be wrong, you just came today, so hurry up and help me make up my mind."

When Chu Chen heard that it was bought in a ghost market, he immediately understood.

As far as the antique street in City B is concerned, apart from the flea market that is usually on the surface and the rows of antique shops behind it, the "ghost market" that only appears every now and then is the most worth visiting.

But this ghost market is not that ghost market, and the ghost market in Antique Street in City B is a famous place to shop for treasures in the industry.

Whenever the sky is about to get dark at four or five o'clock in the morning, many tomb robbers will take the opportunity to bring the artifacts that have just been fished out of the pit to the antique street, and set up a stall for others to pick.

The goods in the hands of tomb robbers are also good and bad. In addition to the dark sky and the fact that lights are not allowed in the ghost market, many people fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to mix fake goods in the street stalls.At this time, it is time to test the strength of an antique collector. They usually hold a small flashlight and slowly grope under the inconspicuous light.

The goods that grave robbers are eager to sell are generally not very expensive, which is why many people like to pick things up in the ghost market. The price is low and it is easy to get good goods, which naturally makes antique dealers flock to them.

But other than that, these artifacts brought up by the tomb robbers from below have another most important feature, that is, black goods.

Maybe today you find a Ming artifact happily, and tomorrow you will see news on TV that a certain tomb has been stolen again, and the police are trying their best to track down the tomb robbers, etc... In this way, the Ming artifact in your hand The utensils naturally become dirt.

It's okay if the note cannot be found at that time, but if it is found, it will be sentenced.

Chu Chen was well aware of the stakes, so he glanced at the jade wrench again, and then raised his hand as a gesture of please.

Zhao Laixin was overjoyed when he saw this, knowing that Chu Chen had shown that he was willing to stand on his side, he quickly offered the wrench with both hands.

Han Rui had been sitting next to Chu Chen, watching the two of them coming and going, saying a lot of things he didn't understand. At this moment, seeing Zhao Laixin put his fingers on the table, he felt that the jadeite was very lovely. So he wanted to take the wrench from Zhao Laixin and have a look.

Han Rui has a careless habit of doing things, he doesn't like to restrain his hands and feet, and ordinary people always have a special love for antiques, so he didn't think about it that much, and completely forgot what Chu Chen told him before entering the door.

Just as Zhao Laixin was about to put the wrench on the table, when he saw Han Rui stretching out his hand, his face darkened immediately. He stopped his movements and looked at Chu Chen with a sullen expression.

Chu Chen clicked his tongue, raised his hand to block Han Rui's movement, and told him in a low voice not to move, then turned his head and smiled at Zhao Laixin embarrassedly: "I forgot to introduce, this is my cousin, I just brought him here today Seeing the world, this kid is stupid and doesn't understand anything, Lao Zhao don't take it to heart."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Laixin glanced at Han Rui, his gaze was like looking at a country bumpkin, which made Han Rui feel very uncomfortable.

"So it's Xiao Chu's cousin. No wonder, he looks like a novice at first glance." After Zhao Laixin finished speaking, he placed the jade wrench on the table steadily, and said to Chu Chen, "Please."

Chu Chen waited for the wrench to be put away, then picked it up from the table, put it in the palm of his hand and observed it carefully.

Generally speaking, expert collectors will not pass hand-to-hand antiques such as porcelain and jade that are easily damaged, but wait for the other party to place the item in a fixed position before picking it up. The responsibility for damage to the item will be self-evident.Different utensils have different ways to hold them. If you find that the opponent's method of handling is not in accordance with the rules, you will be regarded as a layman or a novice. Experts will not bring out other antiques for their appreciation, nor will they communicate or trade.

Han Rui's actions just now violated this taboo, so Zhao Laixin despised him so much.

After Chu Chen looked carefully at the inside and outside of the finger, he said lightly, "This jadeite finger is made of high-quality materials, exquisite in workmanship, natural and elegant in color, delicate and quiet, but the luster is slightly dim, and there is a circle of corpses on the inside." , it looks like it was just fished up from below, and it should belong to the Qing Dynasty officials or the royal family... If you change hands now, you can sell it for 200 million at most. .”

"Twice as much..." Zhao Laixin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Twice as much is indeed a good thing, but where can I find someone to buy it, you know, this treasure has to be bought by young people, people like me It doesn't matter how long the disc is."

Chu Chen smiled, played with the jade and wrenched his fingers and said, "Young man, don't you have two in front of you." Then he pointed at Han Rui and said, "He is younger than me, just in his early twenties, it would be best to help you with this."

"Him?" Zhao Laixin didn't believe it: "Young is young, just stupid, can you do it, and give me a bump later..."

Glancing at Han Rui's darkened face from the corner of his eyes, Chu Chen laughed out loud without losing face, and said, "If you have me watching him, why don't you believe it? Don't worry, just let me play for two years, two years." Time to earn a few million more, why are you hesitating."

With Chu Chen's guarantee, Zhao Laixin was finally relieved. He found a strong rope and threaded the jade finger, handed it to Han Rui and said, "Little brother, you must be careful, don't use this as a toy, just hang it up." On the neck, you can wear it when you sleep and take a bath, and you don’t need to take it off, wait until you look at it in two years, this baby will be different.”

Han Rui snorted unhappily, but his hands were quite cautious. He put the finger on his neck as he said, and then looked down at the little thing hanging on his chest, feeling inexplicably fond of it.

Seeing that Han Rui was happy, the corners of Chu Chen's mouth curled slightly, he stood up and said to Zhao Laixin, "Then let's go first, and come back to you when we have new products."

Zhao Laixin responded with a smile, sent the two to the door, opened the door by the way and continued to solicit business.

After walking out of Feiyue, Han Rui has been rubbing the finger on his chest. The finger is white and green, and it is very pleasing. Han Rui himself could not have imagined that he would be able to pick up such a treasure when he came out with Chu Chen , Remembering that Lu Qi was despised just now, I don't know whether it is joy or sadness for a moment.

Chu Chen looked down at Han Rui's side face, and seeing his satisfied face with a smile on his lips, he stretched out his hand to hold the wrench finger, rubbed it hard on Han Rui's perfectly lined chest muscles, and said with a low smile, "From now on, use it every day." How about this to help you massage your breasts, Yu is a good thing..."

Han Rui was stunned, only to feel that the cold thing was like a small snake in Chu Chen's hands, slid coldly across his open chest, and burrowed straight into the shirt.

The body couldn't help trembling, Han Rui hurriedly raised his hand to grab Chu Chen's fluttering hand, Jun blushed slightly, opened his mouth and cursed: "Have you played enough?"

The author has something to say: In fact, girls who have read my two Tomb Raiders should know that I have a habit of writing half-truths and half-fakes, and I often mix some random content with the real things, but it looks like That's really the case, so don't believe it, and don't believe it all, about the theoretical things in the article.
