The years when I was reborn as a giant in the antique world

After a few minutes, the old man frowned. After looking at the body of the can and then at the top cover, he suddenly understood, and pondered, "Xiaozhou, how much did you pay for this can?"

"Twenty thousand." Looking at the expression of old man Du, the young man's heart sank, and he was already mentally prepared.

"Twenty thousand? It's okay, it's not too much. This time, it's time to spend money to buy a lesson."

Mr. Du did not show harshness, but picked up the lid on the top and showed him: "You are a big jar, only the lid on the top is real, and it was fired in the Kangxi official kiln instead of a private kiln. The workmanship is exquisite. As for the body of the jar , it is a modern imitation of a folk kiln, the imitation is not bad, most people really can't see it..."

'Only the lid is true...? 'Yunzhou repeated silently in his heart.

No wonder he thought the cover was more delicate, he thought it was the original one, but——

Thinking of Xiao Yulong's performance, the young man suddenly realized that the incomplete porcelain also has aura.

That's right, the lid is an old object from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, so it naturally contains some aura, but he never thought of it.

"Oh, this cover is real, but it was broken and then repaired. Can you take a closer look and see if there are any cracks on it? It's not clear to the naked eye, but you can see it with a magnifying glass.

99% of the jars in this kind of kitchen have no lids. The lids are broken and buried on the spot. Modern people don’t know where to dig them out and repair them, and then match them with new jars. Unfortunately, they can’t make the exquisiteness of official kilns. , can only imitate folk kilns. "

Mr. Du's tone was a little more serious this time: "You, I'm still too anxious. There are very few blue and white jars with lids. You should be vigilant when you see them. And the repair method is not smart. You have a look."

Yun Zhou took the magnifying glass from the old man and put it close to the lid.

With 40 times partial magnification, you can clearly see the difference between the repaired color and the previous color, and the small cracks that have not been covered up can also be seen clearly.

As the other party said, there are indeed traces of repair, and it is obvious.

"You're right, I was too impatient."

The default rule of Antiques is 'If you buy it, you will leave it, and you will not be responsible for the sale'.

Even if you bought a fake product, as long as you paid the money and walked out of the store, it has nothing to do with the seller, and you can only admit that your eyesight is not good enough.

So the 2 yuan is destined to go to waste.

The young man lowered his eyes to self-reflect. His light brown hair was draped behind his ears obediently. His slender eyelashes cast a small piece of blue silhouette. He looked very well-behaved and a little pitiful.

Seeing the young apprentice's face being hit, Old Master Du coughed lightly, wondering if he said it too harshly, "Ahem, it's okay, you're still young, you'll learn your wisdom through the pitfalls, just pay attention next time. In the antique business, who hasn't had the time to drill?

That, Xiao Wu, are you right? "

Shopkeeper Wu at the side received the wink from Mr. Du, and immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, yes! Who hasn't slapped eyes a few times when he was young, and how many times have he paid tuition fees? I have also paid—"

He began to desperately recall: "Oh, yes, I remember when I was still an apprentice in Zhenbao Pavilion, once the master was away and left the shop to me to take care of it. I was an apprentice for six full years at that time, and I thought that my eyesight was as good as others , I wanted to make some achievements while the master was away.

As a result, a young man came to the store that afternoon, and wanted to sell a blue and white plate with four seasons and flowers pattern from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, which he said was passed down from his ancestors. "

"Although this plate is not top-quality porcelain, it can still sell for hundreds of thousands. I think it is very good. The shape, glaze color and base are all right, especially its base. I can guarantee that there is absolutely no question.

In order to be sure, I also did a scientific and technological appraisal with this person, punched a hole the size of a pinhole at the bottom of the porcelain, and determined the age based on sampling.Finally, the identification results came out, and the age was indeed from the Yongle/Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, which was exactly the same as my judgment! "

Speaking of this, shopkeeper Wu was a little embarrassed: "Later, I spent 20 yuan to accept this big offer, and in the end, alas——

I didn't know I was cheated until the master came back. Guess what?This market of Ming Xuande is absolutely correct, and the others are all modern imitations! "

Yun Zhou raised his head when he heard this. This kind of deception is similar to his experience of being deceived.

All take part of the genuine product and add a new imitation to act as a complete appliance. There is truth in the fake, and it is impossible to judge even with high-tech means.

The water in the antique party is too deep!

Shopkeeper Wu sighed, and continued: "After knowing that I was cheated, I hurried to chase that young man, but the man disappeared without a trace. The name and address are fake, and the account is also an overseas account. Where can I find it?!

The master asked the boss to apply for my exemption from responsibility, and the boss agreed, and he advanced 20 yuan to his smuggling account.Since then, I no longer dare to be self-righteous, and I have learned from my master down-to-earth, and I have been cautious when appraising antiques, and I have almost never checked them again. "

Shopkeeper Wu looked at the young man who was listening seriously, and laughed: "Xiaozhou, did you feel better after hearing my story?

In the field of antiques, there is no one who pays the tuition fee carefully, and the 2 yuan is not much. The most important thing is to remind yourself not to be fooled in the future. "

"Thank you, Uncle Wu, I'll remember." Yun Zhou looked at the other party and said sincerely, his eyes were clear and calm, completely free of the annoyance and anger of ordinary young people after being deceived.

The moment shopkeeper Wu saw his attitude, he knew that this young man was not an ordinary person. He was able to restrain his emotions at such a young age, with a peaceful mind, and he would definitely be number one in the future.

Mr. Du was also very satisfied.To make antiques is to have this kind of mentality of being able to afford and let go. If you keep indulging in the shadow of being cheated, and don’t think and reflect, you will miss the next opportunity.

He poured a cup of tea and took a sip: "Tell me in detail, how did the stall owner let you buy this jar?"

After this period of understanding, he knew that his little apprentice looked young and young, but he didn't have the innocence and impulsiveness of ordinary young people, and he would never be easily deceived.

Yun Zhou nodded. He was also thinking about the stall owner's routine just now: "First of all, he looks very upright, honest and honest. look.

The personality feels solid, which makes for a great first impression. "

Mr. Du nodded: "Well, although ordinary people can't say that they judge people by their appearance, they can cause potential influence."

Yunzhou: "You are right. When I was observing the porcelain, I saw the chicken bowl cup in the middle at a glance. I started to take a look at it with the attitude of learning, but found that it was actually a genuine product. Antique markets are simply too rare.

The stall owner saw that I was interested, and said bluntly that this is a Qing Kangxi imitation Chenghua chicken cup, which is an ordinary imitation, and the price is 15. "

"I was very surprised at the time. I didn't expect there to be such a real stall owner in the antique market. He was straightforward. His asking price is not high. According to my estimation, the value of this chicken cup should be triple or four times."

Mr. Du and shopkeeper Wu looked at each other and smiled, and the latter asked, "Then why didn't you buy it?"

Yun Zhou thought for a while: "On the one hand, it's because it's too expensive, and on the other hand, a young man came over and said that the chicken bowl cup was his fancy, and he already got all the money—"

Speaking of this, a look of surprise appeared between the young man's brows, "So, this young man is a trustee? But if I had money, I would definitely buy that chicken cup."

Shopkeeper Wu shook his head: "A young man of seventeen or eighteen like you, except for the rich second generation, who can casually spend 15? This is one of them.

Second, even if you have money, that young man will keep raising the price with you until it exceeds the price of the chicken bowl cup.

Young people are the most likely to get angry, and they can't stop the car when they ask for the price. When they come back to their senses, the broken cup has already been called for 80 million. They can only buy it for the sake of face, and the stall owner is not losing money at all. "

Mr. Du took a sip of his tea: "He is testing your psychological price, if you don't raise the price, he will recommend you a cheaper one.

After the chicken crock cup incident, you have developed a great trust in him and in the things he sells. At this time, if you have a blue and white pot that is a good imitation, plus the original lid, it will be difficult for you not to put it on. . "

Yun Zhou was silent for a moment: "...So that's the case."

Mr. Du taught him: "This trick is really clever, but unfortunately it is useless in front of people with really good eyesight. If you can tell at a glance that this blue and white pot is fake, no matter what he does, it will be in vain."

Yun Zhou: "I understand what you mean. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are paper tigers."

"That's right. Come on, let me tell you, besides the lid, there are other ways to distinguish the authenticity of the blue and white jar.

Look at the blue and white on it, the color is not very bright and slightly faded, some people think it is an old object, but it is actually old on purpose.The blue-and-white porcelain in the Kangxi period is characterized by tight skin and bright glaze, and the glaze color is very bright, which looks like new, contrary to the judgment of ordinary people. "

Mr. Du turned the jar upside down to reveal the bottom, "Look at its bottom, it's a bit rough, with sand on it but no signs of wear and tear, which means it's a modern handicraft. The style is wrong, the font is dull, and the lines are not smooth , with obvious traces of modernity."

"More than that." He motioned Yunzhou to weigh the weight in his hands, and then asked, "How does it feel?"

"Compared to its shape, it seems a little light."

"Yes. The human head cans in the early Qing Dynasty are relatively heavy because the tire is very thick; this imitation looks quite thick, but you can feel that it is not so heavy as soon as you get started. This is also the difference between the real one and the modern imitation. a manifestation of

"Thank you, Grandpa Du, I will definitely study hard." After some explanations from Grandpa Du, Yunzhou benefited a lot, and at the same time realized that his foundation was still too weak.

If you have a better understanding of Ming and Qing porcelain, you can easily see that this blue and white jar is fake.

He looked at his left wrist, Xiao Yulong curled up obediently with his tail on it, closed his eyes and yawned a little, ignorant of the storm outside.

Yun Zhou understood that he was relying too much on Xiao Yulong's ability.

After many times of judging the ancient coins, as well as picking up the snuff bottle and Yongle Tongbao's back three coins, he thought that the other party could accurately judge the authenticity of the antiques.

But now it seems that this ability is not a panacea.

First of all, it is currently known that aura can distinguish the authenticity of antiques, and those with aura are authentic, but the age and integrity of the objects cannot be determined.

Taking chicken bowl cups as an example, the imitations of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty are obviously not comparable to the chicken bowl cups made in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, and it is even worse if they were copied in the late Qing Dynasty or even other eras.

Assuming that this chicken cup contains aura, when was it made?The age cannot be determined.However, chicken bowl cups of different ages have a slight difference, which is thousands of miles away.

Secondly, the same chicken bowl cup, broken and repaired by modern means, compared with the complete one, both contain aura and cannot be identified.

Therefore, he must learn to judge the age of the item by himself and observe the details more.

Third, whether the age, rarity, category, etc. of the number of items in the aura is related is not yet confirmed, and it is necessary to get more contact with authentic items of different ages to draw a conclusion.

Fourth, it is known that ancient coins can be repaired by consuming aura, but whether there are other repair functions cannot be confirmed for the time being.

Yun Zhou analyzed them one by one in his mind, and finally came to a conclusion: the most important thing now is to learn knowledge about antiques and accumulate a lot of experience, at least to be able to accurately judge the age and value of objects.

In addition, find out if the healing power of Reiki can be applied to other things, such as porcelain.

He looked at the cracked cover, which was still visible after patching, maybe he could use that as a test.
