Treasure Appraisal: I Can See the Future

"I've already seen it, but I'm just a little surprised!"

Liu Changsheng rubbed it hard with his palm for a few times, handed it to Wang Zhihe's nose, and smiled: "This small bowl is made of white rhino horn, but the craftsmanship is from the Tang Dynasty, which surprised us a little, because carving rhino horns became popular in the Ming Dynasty. There are actually five types of rhinos, black rhinos and white rhinos in Africa, Samaritan rhinos, quack-clawed rhinos, and Indian rhinos in Asia. The white rhino is the most precious one among them, and it is almost extinct even in Africa now. As the saying goes, gold has a price, but jade is priceless, but now this white rhino horn is about one gram, which is many times more expensive than gold and jade. This is another Tang Dynasty antique, and it is worth more than gold and jade. This bowl alone is worth three hundred. Brother Su, you have a good eye!"

"Not bad, not bad!"

Smelling the fragrance of the white rhino horn bowl, Wang Zhihe smiled and said, "Rhino horns are actually not difficult to identify. As long as you rub them with your palms to generate heat, they will emit a fragrant scent. But most people rarely see rhino horns, and white rhino horns are even rarer, so this small bowl was probably not recognized for this reason. Because rhino horns have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, the fragrance emitted by rubbing them makes people feel refreshed and relaxed. This bowl is definitely worth three hundred. Brother Su, you picked up a big bargain with this bowl again."

Looking at the admiring eyes of the two, Su Qi grinned and was calm.

"Three hundred, that's three million!"

Zhiqiang widened his eyes excitedly, and looked at his childhood friend next to him with great joy and admiration.

The things bought for two hundred thousand are worth three million, which is another big profit!

"Three hundred numbers, how is that possible? Our Zigang jade token is only worth a hundred numbers!"

When Gu Zifang heard this result, he couldn't accept it. He frowned and said unhappily: "Zhihe, Changsheng, did you see clearly? This little broken bowl is worth more than the Zigang jade token. I don't quite believe it! I know you two have always had a good feeling about Xiao Su, but you can't be partial to him. My dad is watching here?"

When the two heard this, their faces changed immediately.

Liu Changsheng flicked his sleeves and said in a cold voice: "Zifang, for Gu Lao's sake, I will not bother with you this time. Who am I, Liu Changsheng? In this circle, everything I don't say involves my reputation and credibility, and I will be responsible for everything I say. If you don't believe us, you can ask someone to be the referee, and I, Liu, will leave immediately."

"Zifang, can you use your brain before you speak!"

Wang Zhihe's face turned cold and he said unhappily: "We are familiar with each other, I know you are outspoken, so I don't care about you, but how can you question us like this. Do you know that in the antique world, we are judges and firm collections, which are related to our reputation and honor. If you say this, how can we wash away this dirty water. Gu Lao, is this bowl worth three hundred, you see!"

Seeing that the two were really angry, Gu Zifang looked embarrassed.

On weekdays, relying on his father's face, he has always been on equal terms with Wang Zhihe and Liu Changsheng. In fact, he is not a top figure in the circle. If it weren't for Gu Changfeng, no one would pay attention to him.

"You are so outspoken and embarrassing. Why don't you shut up!"

Taking the white rhino horn bowl, Master Gu Changfeng severely reprimanded his son for saying the wrong thing, then took a look and immediately said coldly: "This bowl is worth three hundred!"

The final word, the white rhino horn bowl surpassed the Zigang jade plate!

"How is it possible, how is it possible? This kid must have been lucky enough to get this bowl!"

Gu Zifang was not convinced, and immediately held out a bug, saying angrily: "What's a white rhino horn bowl? Look at this bug my father chose, which is made by the emperor himself and is priceless!"

It was a bronze elephant ear incense burner with three legs and an elephant trunk. The belly was as big as a bowl and about three inches high.

"The emperor made it himself!"

Looking at the bronze elephant ear incense burner, Su Qi raised the corner of his lips and said teasingly: "Mr. Gu, I have only heard of emperors who were carpenters, but not emperors who were blacksmiths. Can you tell me which emperor made this?"

Wang Zhihe and Liu Changsheng looked at each other, with sighs of a tiger father and a dog son in their eyes, and mockery of pretending to know something when they don't.

Gu Changfeng's old face flushed slightly, and he glared at his useless son fiercely.

Gu Zifang was stunned, and said in confusion: "What did I say wrong? This thing was not made by the emperor himself. Didn't you say that just now?"

"Get lost!"

Master Gu Changfeng couldn't help but yelled, and immediately turned his face away, as if to tell others: This is not my son.

"Zifang, you really need to be more careful and learn some knowledge about antiques in the future, otherwise you will be in trouble when you go out.Try to speak less in the future, so as not to lose the ancient face!"

Liu Changsheng picked up the copper elephant ear incense burner and said bluntly, then appreciated it: "In the third year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji participated in the design and casting of the incense burner, which was called Xuande furnace in history. This was the first time in Chinese history that copperware was cast from wind-milled copper. Generally, copper materials for furnace casting are refined four times, and ancient coins are only refined six times. The casting of Xuande furnace is not only refined twelve times, but also gold and silver are added. Multiple precious materials, so it is heavy to hold, the furnace is fine, and the internal precious light is contained. The longer it has been experienced, the brighter it looks. Xuande furnace has five colors: Buddhist scripture paper, chestnut shell, eggplant skin, pear, and brown. Among them, Buddhist scripture paper is the most expensive. This one is chestnut shell, which is also very valuable. Now the market price can reach one hundred and fifty! "

Master Gu Changfeng nodded slightly to Liu Changsheng's appraisal, without any objection.

But he glared at his useless son fiercely, gritting his teeth.

I clearly said just now that the emperor participated in the design and casting, but you, a little beast, understood it as the emperor did it himself. Didn't the Chinese teacher die early and the physical education teacher taught you? You have such a poor understanding but you still want to show off, which makes me embarrassed!

"Only one hundred and fifty! "

Gu Zifang's face was a little long.

The bronze elephant ear incense burner has 150 points, and the Zigang jade plaque has 100 points. The total is only 250 points, which is not as good as the 300 points of the white rhino horn bowl.

That stinky boy is really lucky to have encountered such a white rhino horn bowl!

But fortunately, there is another hidden treasure, which is more precious than the two together, and is no less valuable than the white rhino horn bowl!

Putting down the bronze elephant ear incense burner, Liu Changsheng said again: "Okay Zifang, hurry up and take out the remaining thing. You only have one left, and Brother Su has many more. Let's take a look at them quickly; I saw that you have escaped so many good things, and my heart is itching. I want to get out quickly and find a few more!"

When mentioning the last collection, Master Gu Changfeng was also a little proud, and he raised his head higher unconsciously, and his expression became more arrogant.

"Xiao Su, let me show you my last hidden treasure! "

Gu Zifang sneered, slowly pulled his hand out of the bag, and said with a very proud look: "Although you were lucky enough to get a white rhino horn bowl, once I take this thing out, I will immediately beat you. This time you are sure to lose."

After the decisive voice fell, the thing was finally taken out by Gu Zifang.

It was a box. After opening it, there was still foam inside, and a colorful and fascinating plate was stuck in the middle.

Wang Zhihe and Liu Changsheng's eyes lit up, and their attention was immediately drawn to it. Their expressions also seemed to be amazed, as if they had seen a rare treasure.

"Uh! "

Su Qi frowned slightly, looking a little surprised.

He had just seen the future with his cosmic eyes, and watched Gu Changfeng, Liu Changsheng, and Wang Zhihe shopping in the hall. He combined what the three masters saw, so he could sweep the Shengkeng Club like crazy and buy more than ten pieces of "worms".

But this plate, which looked very unusual, did not appear in the future of the cosmic eyes.

But after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved.

What the cosmic eyes saw was a possible future. If he did nothing, of course the future would be like that, and everything would go according to what the cosmic eyes saw; but once he joined in to change the future, the future of others would also change.

Maybe Gu Changfeng would not have come across this plate, but he changed the future, so Master Gu bought it.

"Wanli blue and white porcelain, five-color dragon pattern folded edge washbasin! "

Liu Changsheng's eyes lit up, and he carefully took the five-color dragon-patterned folded-rim washbasin, sliding his five fingers slowly over it. His caressing movements were gentle and careful, as if he was caressing the face of his lover, and his expression was focused and cherished to the extreme.

"Yes, it's really Wanli blue-and-white porcelain, a five-color dragon-patterned folded-rim washbasin!"

Wang Zhihe also watched intently, and seemed to want to grab it: "Porcelain also has a development history. Among them, Tang Dynasty porcelain is mainly celadon and white porcelain, with a simple and generous style. Basically, they are all monochrome glazes. There are only some solitary "Tang Sancai", but the porcelain art technology has not been passed down. The porcelain craftsmanship of the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty is similar. Except for the more rigorous craftsmanship, the technology has not developed much, and it is also mainly monochrome glaze. In the Yuan Dynasty, porcelain has another leap forward. Although it is still monochrome glaze, Jingdezhen porcelain has become famous all over the world, and the blue-and-white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty was born. In the Ming Dynasty, underglaze blue and overglaze red were combined. Blue and white porcelain was first fired, then painted with overglaze red and fired again. Finally, during the Wanli period, the "blue and white five-color" two-color pomelo porcelain technology was born. This is how the five-color dragon pattern folded edge washbasin came into being. This colorful and beautiful five-color porcelain. This five-color dragon pattern folded edge washbasin is authentic and the market price can reach three hundred and fifty yuan! "

"Not bad!"Liu Changsheng also sighed, looked at Su Qi worriedly, and said: "This kind of treasure, the crystallization of national wisdom, is handed down from generation to generation, and its collection value is extremely high. The number of 350 is not exaggerated at all."

"Humph!"

After hearing this valuation comment, although Master Gu Changfeng was still arrogant, he couldn't help but sneered twice, glanced at Su Qi and thought to himself: "The five-color dragon pattern folded edge washer, plus the copper elephant ear incense burner and Zigang jade plaque, the total number of three treasures has reached 600. You, little brat, although you got a white rhino horn bowl, it is still only half of what I have. How can you If you want to compete with me, you'd better admit defeat! The revenge for the two big coins in the treasury last time is finally coming!"

"Three hundred and fifty counts, plus two hundred and fifty counts of dried vegetables, isn't that six hundred counts? Haha, six hundred counts!"

Gu Zifang's eyes lit up, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He stared at Su Qi and said proudly: "Xiao Su, we have already counted six hundred, and you are just over three hundred. The gap between us is too big. Hurry up and throw out the junk in your bag, let Zhihe and Changsheng estimate the value for you, and admit defeat quickly, and don't waste everyone's time."
