Appreciation of treasures

Chapter 24 Ordinary Modern Goods

Turning around among those objects, Zhao Gang's eyes stopped on a ceramic ornament.

This ceramic ornament is an ordinary thing, and no one knows why the old man cherishes it so much.

If you don't know, you don't dare to ask, and if you ask people, you may not be able to tell.

As the apprentice of Mr. Su, even if he asked, he would probably be scolded.

Zhao Gang's eyes also attracted everyone's attention. Unexpectedly, he was also very interested in ceramic ornaments.

"What? Little brother likes this thing?"

Zhao Gang nodded, the ceramic ornament looked like a horse, but a different halo flashed on its body.

"It's not obvious, but I think this should be a good thing."

As soon as this sentence was said, the people around him began to laugh at him.

"I just said that he can't do anything but flatter. He must know that the master likes this thing."

"I don't know what Master is looking for in him."

"People will say that the tea is good, and the food is also good. Mr. Su is already very happy."

"People nowadays, that's how they are. They don't have much ability, they just rely on flattery."

But the surrounding sounds did not affect Elder Su's mood at all.

"Young man, look at what's so good about this ceramic."

I once learned from Lao Songtou that ceramics are divided into coarse porcelain and fine porcelain, as well as glazed and unglazed.

Looking at this ornament, it is estimated to be fine porcelain, with some holes on it, which can absorb water.

"Although this thing is made of porcelain, it looks like a modern thing. There is no such thing as a horse in ancient ceramics."

Zhao Gang has already poured out all the things he knows.

Let him go on, I'm afraid he will be at the end of his rope.

Teacher Su seemed to see what he meant, but he didn't intend to stop there.

"Then why did the young man fall in love with this ornament?"

Zhao Gang had no choice but to pick up the ceramic and observe it carefully, but he didn't expect that the halo emitting was actually the jade bell on the horse's neck!

Zhao Gang's eyes shone brightly, never thinking that this thing had a hidden secret.

"Looking at the little brother like this, I discovered the value of this ornament."

Zhao Gang picked up the ceramic horse for a closer look, and then pointed to the bell on the horse.

"This porcelain horse is not valuable, but I'm afraid this bell is worth a lot."

After hearing this, Mr. Su trembled suddenly. Many people laughed at Mr. Su when they saw the ceramic horse, but he was the only one who saw that the bell was a good thing.

All the people present laughed at the young man in front of him who was overconfident. Horses are worthless, so how much can a bell be worth?
"Little brother really has good eyesight!"

As soon as the words were outstanding, the talent was petrified on the spot. It turned out that the mystery of the horse was in the bell.

"This ceramic horse is just an ordinary decoration, but the jade bell on his neck has extremely high collection value."

After speaking, he still didn't forget to look at his stupid apprentices, they met the horse every day, but none of them could see that the preciousness of the horse was due to the bell.

Everyone lowered their heads one after another, not daring to say more.

I am not as skilled as others and still put on airs. If this matter gets out, I am afraid it will ruin old Su's face.

Just when the two wanted to discuss further, there were noisy voices outside.

Elder Su waved his hand and asked the people around him to go out and find out what was going on.

"There are always some people coming here to make trouble. We don't want them to disturb Yaxing."

Now it was Zhao Gang's turn to be stunned, everyone said that the president of the auction house was Su Cen, why did this old man speak so much?
"I haven't introduced myself yet, next time Su Qiming!"

Hearing these three words, Zhao Gang's legs twisted. It turned out that he had been playing with an ax at the door of the class.

Talking about antiques in front of Su Qiming really doesn't know what to do.Who doesn't know that he is one of the masters of antique treasure appraisal.

Zhao Gang immediately bowed, a little ashamed.

"I don't know if it's Mr. Su. Forgive me for being young and ignorant. What I said just now is wrong. Please forgive me, Mr. Su."

"It's okay, let's go out and see what's going on outside."

The two of them walked out of the office one after another and walked towards the second floor.

Because the young man was holding porcelain and talking nonsense in front of an auction house.

"So what if you are the largest auction house in the imperial capital. Even so, you can't blame a deer for a horse. My porcelain has been authenticated!"

Hearing this, the boss of the auction house showed embarrassment, but he quickly spotted Su Qiming in the crowd.

"You said that your prices are left over from the Qing Dynasty. Today, our boss Su Qiming happened to be here. Why don't you ask Mr. Su to come and appraise it."

Everyone followed the boss' eyes and looked back, only to see a white-haired old man persevering at the door of the auction house.

Everyone gave in one after another, Mr. Su took Zhao Gang past them and walked straight to the young man.

"Young people are easy to talk about, but what's going on? If it's really our problem, I will take full responsibility."

Hearing what Elder Su said, the young man looked embarrassed, and then he took out the porcelain bottle from his arms.

This is the most common drum-bellied vase, most of which are used as decorations in palaces. If it is identified as genuine, it may be worth a fortune.

Mr. Su didn't take the vase directly, he walked to Zhao Gang.

"Give palm palm eye!"

These few words pushed Zhao Gang to the forefront of the storm, and the middle-aged man looked at the young man with surprised eyes.

Everyone was suspicious, could it be that this young man is Mr. Su's new apprentice?It is not easy to be appreciated by Mr. Su at a young age.

"I'm afraid this is not good. Mr. Su, you should do it. This is related to the honor of the auction house." Zhao Gang shook his head after finishing speaking.

This young man does have some abilities, but he is too cautious in dealing with others, his character is not suitable for this job.

"Let you appraise, you can safely and boldly appraise, if there is any problem, I will be there."

Every encouragement from the old man filled Zhao Gang with confidence. He took the vase from the man and looked at it carefully.

In fact, when he first saw the vase, Zhao Gang had already determined that it was indeed a fake.

There was no halo on the vase, so this young man must have been deceived.

"Everyone, with all due respect, this thing should be a modern imitation and has no collection value."

Hearing Zhao Gang's words, Mr. Su nodded with a smile.

"Fart, if you say it's an imitation, it's an imitation. I have an authoritative certificate from the state."

"Young man, let's be a good person so we can meet each other in the future. If you really have a certificate of authenticity from the state, why would you sell such a priceless thing?"

The other person blushed and became speechless after asking in one sentence.

This is indeed a misjudgment, an object collected from the dark market, but I am unwilling, and I don't know if there are other fools who are as misjudged as me.

But he didn't expect to be exposed in public here. The young man grabbed his vase and walked out the door.
