Chapter 16 Hutian Kiln Shadow Celadon
Li Fangsheng carefully looked at the bowl in his hand, still unwilling to give up: "You tell me the number."

Fang Hao said: "If you can pay twenty (ten thousand), I will give it to you."

"Xiao Fang, your eyes are poisonous." Li Fangsheng said with a smile, "I can accept 2, but 20 is too risky."

Fang Hao spread his hands, expressing that he couldn't accept it.

Cao Wei looked at the two of them, then looked at the bowl still in Li Fangsheng's hand, and said, "Mr. Li, please tell me, what kind of knowledge does this bowl have?"

"Xiao Fang is the owner, let him talk about it." Li Fangsheng looked at Fang Hao with great interest, wanting to see if he was really capable, or if he just opened his mouth like a lion.

Be humble when you should be humble, and show yourself when you should show yourself. Fang Hao was not polite, and said: "Then let me talk about my opinion. From the shape of this bowl, it is a typical shape of the Song Dynasty. The bowl of the Song Dynasty, Whether it is a rice bowl for eating, or a teacup for tea tasting and tea fighting, they are basically in this shape.

If you look at the bowl upside down, it looks like the bamboo hat worn by a fisherman in a coir raincoat in ancient times, hence the name bamboo hat bowl.Besides, the kiln mouth, because the surface of this bowl is covered by a lot of soil, leaving only a small amount of exposed glaze, so it is more difficult to identify, but you can still see some features. I judge that it should be the shadow of Hutian kiln in the Song Dynasty. Celadon, and produced in the Northern Song Dynasty.

This is because the color of the glaze surface in the Northern Song Dynasty was pure azure, and the glaze layer was thin and translucent. It can be divided into two periods: the morning and the evening. Large flakes, while the glaze layer of the Southern Song Dynasty was thicker and yellowed, which is the difference between the glaze layers of the two Song Dynasties..."

If Fang Hao didn't know that he had missed it, it would be difficult to analyze the information at his current level, but now that he knew that he had missed it, it would be much easier to reverse it, and he also said in the end that this is the opinion of his family, Maybe it's not true, anyway, he's still young, even if he's wrong, he's just communicating now, and everyone can forgive him.

Li Fangsheng applauded after hearing this: "Xiao Fang is indeed an expert!"

Fang Hao's remarks are clear and well-analyzed. The so-called expert will know if there is something as soon as he makes a move. Fang Hao's knowledge reserve must have reached a certain level.

Fang Hao smiled and said, "It's not an expert, I just used some knowledge from books and the Internet."

Cao Wei said with a smile: "Everyone knows that knowledge should be learned and applied, but how many people can really do it?"

Ji Wenxue nodded. He has been in this industry for more than 20 years as a hobbyist. He has a deep understanding of this. The knowledge of the antique industry is too profound and messy, and it is not easy to write it down. It is more difficult to learn and apply it flexibly. Because of this, many people have different understandings of a problem, and jokes have been made because of this.

After chatting a few off-topic words, everyone turned the topic back to the bamboo hat bowl.

Ji Wenwen said: "I have to say, when I first entered the industry, Hutian kiln shadow celadon was not yet in the eyes of players. I remember a very good-looking plum vase with Hutian kiln shadow blue peony pattern in the Northern Song Dynasty. It cost 120 yuan, and last year, a similar thing sold for more than 20 million at the auction, and it has only been less than 150 years, and it has more than [-] times, which is amazing to think about!"

Cao Wei took over the conversation and said: "The world has really changed too fast. Thinking about how much Hetian mutton jade was when I first entered the industry, how much is it worth now? If I had invested all my money in it, Now you don’t have to worry about eating and drinking. In the past, you could still find leaks, let alone leaks now, as long as you don’t get slaughtered.”

Li Fangsheng pointed at Fang Hao and said with a smile: "You are wrong, Xiao Fang just picked up the leak!"

Fang Hao waved his hand quickly: "I missed it in my hand, I can't do it if I don't pick it up."

Everyone laughed.

Ji Wenxue said with a smile: "Old Wei must be furious when he heard that, but to be honest, this bowl is indeed a bit special, so be careful when removing the soil attached to the surface, so as not to damage the glaze inside. "

Fang Hao nodded: "It does take a little patience. If you force it, or put the bowl directly into the water to soak, it is easy to damage the glaze."

Li Fangsheng was a little surprised. Although this problem might not seem big, in fact, unless they have experience or someone teaches them, most people don't know how to deal with it.

With this question in mind, he asked, "Xiao Fang, what do you plan to do, is it difficult?"

Fang Hao didn't think much about it, and said: "It's not difficult to deal with, first use a watering can to spray a layer of water lightly, after it dries a little, then spray another layer, and spray slowly layer by layer. With water, the soil will start to soften and peel off, and the soil on the bowl can be cleaned without injury.”

Hearing what he said, Li Fangsheng guessed that Fang Hao should have a teacher, otherwise he wouldn't know so clearly.Although he was curious, since Fang Hao didn't say anything himself, it was inconvenient for him to ask more.

"I have an unfeeling request. When you finish handling it, can you let me have a look?"

Of course, Fang Hao said that there was no problem, and he might be able to sell it directly to Li Fangsheng, and then exchanged contact information with Li Fangsheng.

After sitting for a while, Li Fangsheng answered the phone and left first. Immediately afterwards, Fang Hao and Cao Wei also bid farewell. Ji Wenxue sent them to the door and apologized to Cao Wei.

"How did you deal with the printed score?" Fang Hao asked as he walked, he had been holding back this matter for a long time.

Cao Wei smiled and said: "After I arrived, I found that the buyer was actually Mr. Li. I wanted to tell the truth, but in front of Boss Ji, I didn't know what to say, so I showed the printed score to Mr. Li, and Mr. Li looked at it. After reading it, tell Boss Ji directly that there is something wrong with the printed score, and Boss Ji felt embarrassed, so he offered to return the printed score."

After that, he added another sentence, saying that he and Li Fangsheng only met once.

After Fang Hao heard this, he felt that Li Fangsheng was an upright person. If it were someone else, he wouldn't even be considered a nod acquaintance, and probably wouldn't help Cao Wei.Of course, Ji Wenxue probably didn't know that there was a problem with the printed score, otherwise he wouldn't have tried to broker the deal.

After that, the two found a cafe to sit down, and Fang Hao took out the jade.

This is a jasper-carved birthday star boy ornament, about 7 cm high, the jade texture is fine and moist, and the light is moist. The spirit is revealed in it.

Cao Wei took the ornament and appraised it carefully for a while, his face couldn't restrain his love, and he couldn't put it down, but immediately, his eyes were a little entangled again.

Fang Hao noticed it and felt a little strange, so he asked: "What's the matter, do you think something is wrong?"

"No no no!"

Cao Wei quickly waved his hand: "This ornament is very good, but I'm a little tight right now, so I might not be able to afford it!"

Speaking of this, he was a little embarrassed: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect that your jade ornament is so fine, otherwise I wouldn't let you out of my own hands."

When Fang Hao heard that this was the case, he smiled lightly: "Brother Cao, you are offended by what you said. If you really want to say that, I have to thank you, otherwise how could I have picked up the leak?"

Cao Wei also smiled and asked, "Fang Hao, how much do you want for this jade ornament?"

Fang Hao had a good impression of Cao Wei, and said, "26, what do you think?"

Cao Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "Don't lose money."

Fang Hao laughed: "To be honest, I am not so enlightened, and I still want to sacrifice myself for others."

Cao Wei thought for a while: "Fang Hao, if you are not in a hurry to sell this jade ornament, can you give me two or three days?"

"Dude, can you let me have a look at your birthday decoration?"

Before Fang Hao answered, a fat man in his thirties jumped out of nowhere, which shocked Fang Hao and the others.

Fang Hao sized up the fat man, and said, "Dude, where did you come from, you walk without wind!"

Jiang Mingrui said with a smile: "Don't look so burly, you practiced it when you were a child. Don't talk about it, buddy, let me have a look at this jade ornament."

Fang Hao spread his hands: "Sorry, I have already given this ornament to my friend."
