Appreciation of treasures

Chapter 95
Zhao Gang teased the young man, and then the boss.Standing between the two of them, he said with a smile, "Hey, don't be noisy, don't be noisy. Don't hurt harmony, is harmony important? Isn't it?"

Standing between the two of them, Zhao Gang looked at the owner of the store, then at the young man, and then fixed his eyes on the blue and white porcelain vase in the young man's arms.The young man glanced at Zhao Gang impatiently, and said in a bad tone, "Who are you? Just mind your own business and don't meddle in your own business."

Zhao Gang wasn't angry at all, he was still smiling, looking up and down at the blue and white porcelain vase in the young man's hand with his eyes, and resting his chin with one hand.

The shop owner looked at Zhao Gang, but recognized him at a glance. Zhao Gang is a young master in the civilized antique world recently.

"Zhao...gang?"

The boss asked tentatively, Zhao Gang waved his hand lightly, nodded with a smile and said, "Oh, low-key, low-key!"

The shop owner, however, quickly patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder with a smile and said, "It's an honor, my surname is Lu, and I'm lucky to have met him. I've heard that a young master recently appeared in the antique world, who can appraise countless treasures at a young age! See, it's really modest."

The shop owner stretched out his hand while talking, wanting to shake hands with Zhao Gang.

Only then did Zhao Gang turn his face away, and looked at the store owner with a smile on his hand.The hands of the two were shaking in the air, and the shop owner pointed to the blue and white porcelain vase that the young man was holding in his arms and said, "Then please help me to look at this porcelain and see if it is what he said."

Zhao Gang nodded lightly, stretched out his hand to the man, and said softly: "I'm Zhao Gang, who has a small reputation in the treasure appraising world and has seen some great treasures, can you show me your porcelain? Let me help you learn from it.”

Zhao Gang said in a gentle tone, the young man looked at the boss, then at Zhao Gang who suddenly appeared, and asked with doubts in his eyes: "Don't you be hired by the boss of this shop?"

The words were astonishing, and the surrounding crowd laughed.Many people pointed and smiled at the young man, an old man came up and patted the young man on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are lucky to meet him today, I don't think you have been in the antique world much." ? This is a new master appraiser who is very famous in our antique circle."

Seeing the people around him nodding, the young man finally let go of his vigilance, and handed the treasure in his hand to Zhao Gang, but his eyes were still staring at his treasure unrelentingly, for fear that Zhao Gang would snatch his treasure away. of.

Zhao Gang has already seen through his supernatural power that this porcelain is not a big price, but he still wants to see the results of his recent studies, so he gently took the porcelain from the young man's hand, carefully looked at the surface of the porcelain, The texture is clear without any smudging.Then touch it gently with your hands, it feels silky and moist.

"There is a sense of age, and it is indeed from the Song Dynasty. The embossed carvings feel silky, well-made, and minimalist in shape, which is indeed the style of the Song Dynasty." Zhao Gang looked at the patterns on the porcelain carefully, nodded and said.The boy's eyes were a little more smug, and he looked at the shop owner triumphantly.

There was a burst of sighing from the surrounding crowd, some people looked at the store owner watching the show, some whispered in the bottom, and said disdainfully: "This antique shop owner can't even recognize antiques. It’s not a loss, and it’s said that people’s antiques are worthless.”

The shop owner blushed when he heard the sneers from the crowd, and quickly glanced at the boy apologetically.

"However..." Zhao Gang changed the subject, raised his head slightly, looked at the young man firmly, and said, "What you said is not entirely true, and the shop owner is also right. This vase of yours is really not worth it." Price."

There was another sigh from the surrounding crowd.Everyone stared at Zhao Gang, Zhao Gang turned the vase over, looked at the seal on the bottom of the vase, and said softly with a smile: "Don't say it's the shop owner, but some people who understand antiques and porcelain probably know that this is not an official kiln." from."

As Zhao Gang spoke, he lifted the vase in his hand, exposing the bottom of the vase, and everyone could see the bottom clearly. There was an auspicious beast engraved on the bottom, but there was a faint inscription in the middle of the auspicious beast.

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd again, and a few words reached the young man's ears: "Return the heirlooms of the official kiln, and what are the palace guards and emperors to reward. If such a thing appears in this official kiln, the people in the official kiln may They will all be punished!"

"Porcelain in official kilns is generally used by the royal family and cannot be signed. If you look at the patterns on it, they are just some auspicious beasts, and there are no dragons and phoenixes. If it was rewarded by the emperor as you said, it is probably the emperor. For use, there will definitely be dragon and python tattoos on it, but they are just some auspicious beasts."

"It must have come out of a folk kiln." Zhao Gang put away his playful expression and said seriously.The boy was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in shame.

"However, this vase is worth some money. After all, it is from the Song Dynasty. Besides, the folk kilns in the Song Dynasty are also very powerful, almost comparable to the official kilns. Judging from the pattern and style of this vase, it is very likely to be from the Southern Song Dynasty." Zhao Gang said softly, but there was a burst of applause from the crowd.

"Thank you brother for taking the initiative, otherwise I would have mistaken the pearl for a fish eye, and I would have almost suffered a big loss!" The shop owner shook his head in shame, patted the young man on the shoulder, and looked at Zhao Gang with appreciation and said.

Zhao Gang waved his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "The cultural relics are just for observation. The details are difficult to observe. You two are too anxious, so it is naturally difficult to reach an agreement. Look at how amicable you are now. "

Zhao Gang smiled cordially, but the boss looked at the boy and discussed, "Since Mr. Zhao identified this porcelain vase, how about letting Mr. Zhao pay the price?"

The young man on the side quickly nodded in conviction, looked at Zhao Gang and said softly, "Thank you for your help, brother, and more importantly, thank you for the introduction just now. Why don't you just follow what the shop owner said, the price is up to you, how about it?"

Zhao Gang nodded lightly, picked up the porcelain again, looked at the patterns on it carefully, and said softly: "It's probably worth 10,000+, after all, it's an authentic piece from the Song Dynasty. It's still very rare in the market. "

The shop owner nodded quickly, and said softly: "Then follow what Mr. Zhao said, how about I give you 15?"

Seeing that a business was completed, the shop owner tugged on Zhao Gang's sleeve and said with a smile on his face, "Thank you Mr. Zhao for your guidance just now. If you don't mind, can you come to the shop for a while?"

Liu Yali walked to Zhao Gang's side and looked at Zhao Gang tentatively. Zhao Gang glanced at Liu Yali, then nodded and replied, "Of course. Then thank the owner for his hospitality first!"
