Master descends to earth

Chapter 179 Virtuous Cycle

Su Yuan looked at the work in the opponent's hand, various scenes flashed in his eyes, and suddenly smiled and said: "If you use electricity in the early stage and charcoal in the later stage, the effect will be closer to the effect of the ancient firewood kiln. Then sprinkle a handful of salt, glaze The noodles will look fatter."

"you……"

Old Qiao was taken aback, and stared at Su Yuan in surprise. He originally thought that the boy was Lu Chenglong's apprentice, but he opened his eyes with his master, but unexpectedly...

"Yo, can't you tell he's a master?" Old Qiao snorted coldly, put down the plum vase and said, "It's good to have some eyesight."

Lu Chenglong smiled and said nothing, he brought Su Yuan here just for now, on one side is the top high imitation old Jianghu, on the other side is a rising star who even the master is full of praise...

Mars hits Earth,
Let's play!

Old Qiao looked at the calm young man in front of him again, but he really couldn't figure out the details of the other party, so he picked up a jade pot and spring bottle, and asked tentatively, "Once more palm eyes?"

Su Yuan took it with a smile, glanced at it casually and said, "Potassium permanganate, nitric acid, and pine perfume are mixed according to the proportion and then brushed on the surface of the porcelain. After a few hours, the light will be removed."

"Use a grinding wheel and sandpaper to finely polish the traces. It seems that it has been passed down for at least a few hundred years. The most difficult thing is flint red, right?"

Looking at Old Qiao's more serious expression, he smiled lightly and said, "Put wet old chaff ash on the bottom of the utensils and put them into the kiln. After firing, flint red will appear on the bottom feet. If you want to make unearthed utensils, paint them on The red mud makes the mud seep into the cracks, and the rust is almost indistinguishable."

Old Qiao took a deep breath, his face became serious, and he remained silent.Su Yuan smiled slightly, saying that the biggest difficulty in high imitation is to make it old.

After all, it is new porcelain. After firing, the glaze surface will appear brand new and shiny, which is commonly known as thief light in the industry.How to remove this layer of stealthy light and produce a warm and moist paste like the old porcelain that has been polished over the years is the secret skill of all masters, and it is also a key link that has been fooled by experts in the industry.

Lu Chenglong saw that Lao Qiao was deflated, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Earlier you used potassium permanganate or hydrofluoric acid to soak, but those potions were too corrosive and difficult to control. Originally, I wanted to imitate Qianlong, but the soaking time was short. Long, it looks like late Ming."

"After a short period of time, it has become Guangxu again. This is a headache. Now that you have formulated a special secret recipe, the treated glaze is exactly the same as the old one?"

Old Qiao curled his lips and admitted: "Your boy is a bit skilled. This kind of potion is usually soaked for a day and a night. Even if it takes a long time, it will not be too much, and it will be very stable."

"The way we eat here is different from each other. There are also traditional Chinese medicine or black tea. They are all confidential, and the recipe must be told to others!"

Turning around, he took out another thing from the cabinet, held it in front of Su Yuan with both hands, and said seriously: "Please advise!"

Su Yuan smiled slightly, did the old guy finally know how powerful he was?

After taking it slowly, it turned out to be a rare Kangxi column jar, with exquisite texture, moist coating, and two holes on both sides, specially reserved for piercing.

Flipping around a few times, carefully looked at the edge of the hole, and touched it with his hand: "The other imitations are okay, but there are still obvious flaws."

Old Qiao was taken aback for a moment, his eyes were burning, and he asked forcefully, "Say it straight!"

"It's very simple. In ancient times, drilling was done by hand, using a jigsaw to drill, and it all depends on the slow work of water dripping through the stone. The threads can be seen on the edge. The electric drill you use is too fast, and there will be no traces at all."

Old Qiao's whole body was shocked, and suddenly realized, he clasped his fists in salute, and said politely: "My friend is really sharp-eyed, old Qiao admires it!"

Su Yuan waved his hand, pointed at the painter on the bottle, and asked tentatively, "How many people in JDZ have reached this level now?"

The old Qiao no longer dared to be arrogant, and said seriously: "To be honest, few painters can reach the level of the court, but it is absolutely no problem to go to the market. We used to print film on porcelain, but the picture was very dull. The lines are not smooth."

"How do masters draw now? Putting an old thing aside, you don't need to get rid of the picture on the porcelain, but have a thorough understanding of the style. For example, the characters in the Kangxi period had big stomachs and their faces had to be deformed, so they all painted these styles. "

"It's enough to place the position roughly, the more casual the more authentic. Many experts have judged that as long as the pen is smooth, there is no sign of hesitation or hesitation."

Su Yuan nodded, and asked again: "How to ship?"

Old Qiao smiled, showing his big yellow teeth, and said in a low voice: "Generally, customers take samples to make orders, and high-quality imitations are then auctioned off. I will copy some low-end imitations as they are, so that those who kill pigs can get antiques." Market to sell!"

"In the early years, I also worked as a pig butcher in Panjiayuan. It was all based on deception. At first, I took a real thing in my hand and stayed in a hotel. Then I found some rich sticks and went to the hotel to see the goods and negotiate prices."

"If the buyer offers 20 yuan, I will ask for 50 yuan. I will try my best to widen the price difference. I will fight a tug-of-war for a few days to whet my appetite, and then I will take out the fakes I have prepared and call the buyer."

"If the other party raises the price a little bit and says 26, and pushes the boat forward and says that they are in a hurry to lose money and sell it, 28 per cent can't be less, and it's a deal!"

Su Yuan shook his head secretly, what he bought was not good enough to sell, let alone an antique shop.There is no way, people are stupid and have a lot of money, but those who are slaughtered are half-baked.

When Lu Chenglong saw that Su Yuan was controlling Lao Qiao, he also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The other party didn't look down on museum experts at all, and thought they were all high-minded and low-handed. They have encountered difficulties in recent years.

No way, who let himself ask for others?

I come to JDZ every year to learn the scriptures. Even if I am despised, I still have to learn about the latest fraudulent technology. As for the origin and whereabouts, I will never ask more questions.

The circle is too deep!
Su Yuan didn't speak, picked up a Ding kiln white porcelain bowl from the shelf, the sparse fine lines could be seen in the sunlight, and asked, "Did you knock the chicken paw pattern?"

Old Qiao laughed and said triumphantly: "Chicken paw patterns are the basis for many so-called experts to identify new and old porcelain. I just need to knock a pebble on the porcelain, and I can knock out that the exterior is not broken, and there are countless small chicken paw patterns on the inner wall. That’s the housekeeping skill.”

Su Yuan nodded, this trick is a unique skill, and it won't work in ten or eight years.

The three sat down again, and Lao Qiao took out a catalog of an auction company and put it in front of him, and opened one of the pages. On it was a Qing Daoguang green color bottle, with an auction price of 130 million.

"The piece in the catalog was originally made by me, and I have an agreement with the buyer that no repeated imitation is allowed within 5 years, and I can do whatever I want after 5 years."Get a few more low-quality imitations, priced at twenty-five thousand! "

"There is a rule of one line. If someone buys a real high-quality imitation in my hand, it is not allowed to sell a second copy of the same item within a few years. Keep the scarcity of the sold product and facilitate it to be sold at a high price."

"The real things I have bought are no less than 3000 million. When I buy these hens, I let them lay eggs. A pair of Qianlong famille rose vases cost 12 yuan at the time, and a new pair of imitations can sell for at least 5 yuan."

Old Qiao knew that both of them were experts, so he was straightforward and honest: "After a certain amount of imitation products are sold, others will start to make them, and I will sell the hens to auction companies. After making money, I will buy new varieties, and then imitate them."

"This is called a virtuous circle!"
