Chapter 355: Settling down and settling down
“Then this apprentice must be beaten to death.” Manager Fei smiled and said: “The details are fine, but the most basic shape is a mess.”
“I can’t stand this bottle. I can't give you a high price. Third Master, I don't care how much you pay. I can only give you four hundred."
"It's easy to say." The third master sighed: "It's better to give it to you, so as not to be taken away."
Speaking of which, counterfeiting techniques have existed since ancient times, and one of the most typical ones is "repairing defects."
The so-called repairing is the process of repairing and refiring a piece of porcelain that is generally intact to make it perfect again.
Those who are able to do this are also extremely masters of counterfeiting. It is the most difficult fake to create, but once it is successful, it is also the most difficult to identify in the industry.
Because this kind of porcelain generally has only a few stained seams that are fake, and the rest are all real.
Of course, life in later generations was rougher. Many counterfeiters only got a base with a mark on it, and then used this base to make a piece of fake porcelain.
Because the base is an important sign of identification, when doing instrument identification, the identification material is also drilled out from a place at the bottom that does not affect the appearance. These are all genuine, so counterfeiters You can even deceive people and equipment.
The bottom of this large bottle is flawless, which means that the upper part can be cut off and a fake large bottle can be made from the bottom. Once the deception is successful, the value can be increased more than a hundred times.
The big bottle was placed on the ground. Zhou Zhi and Manager Fei were squatting and looking at it. In order to learn, Zhou Zhi also tilted the bottle down to see the perfect base that San Ye and Manager Fei were discussing.
Just when he tilted the bottle to a certain level, Zhou Zhi suddenly discovered a magical sight. His heart pounded and his hands shook.
"Be careful with your elbows." Manager Fei joked with a smile: "Fortunately, this is something that has already been priced. Otherwise, if it is smashed, the price will be determined by the third master."
"That's not a big deal, but four hundred yuan is not a small amount. Your family can't give you that much as New Year's money, right?"
"He's not afraid." Manager Fei was still joking randomly: "The elders of his family receive more than four hundred for the New Year."
"I really like this bottle." Zhou Zhi said with a smile. : "Especially these dolls, after transformation, they look a bit...like...cartoons in cartoons."
"Eh?" Manager Fei looked amused: "Hahaha. That’s really interesting! What’s the matter? Boss Zhou will take care of the business and let me sell it second-hand?”
“Really?” Manager Fei said with a smile. According to the rules of the auction, the commission is 10%, which is four hundred and four. With the forty yuan, Liu Er will go to the town to order some dishes and I will have a meal. "
"Then it's settled, this bottle belongs to me now. I'll give you a note and you'll settle the bill when I return to Shudu." Zhou Zhi opened his schoolbag and took out his book, scrawled a note, tore it off and closed it. He handed over his private seal: "Here, take it!"
"Yes! Thank you, Boss Zhou, for your patronage." Manager Fei couldn't help laughing: "Third Master, we will open now."
< br>Liu Sanye took over the note written by Zhou Zhi: "My little friend's calligraphy has been refined by an expert, and this seal is also made by a master."
"Chicken Blood Jelly Seal, Sanye Didn't you see it just now?" Manager Fei was surprised: "That thing is worth a lot of money now"
After that, he added: "It's much more expensive than this bottle."
"I haven't studied the new material." Third Master said lightly, with even a bit of disdain in his tone.
"It seems that the third master is playing with green materials." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "People who play with antiques are the same as my fourth uncle."
"Yes, that is Zhuhuang material. It's just for future generations." The third master smiled: "You are young, but you are not an amateur." "Oh, he is not an amateur. He has just handed over a few treasures to the country," Manager Fei said immediately.
“Oh? How do you say this?”
Manager Fei told the Third Master and Erwa the purpose of Zhou Zhi’s visit this time, and the two of them turned to face Zhou Zhi: “I never thought that my little friend could be so capable?!”
“No. So exaggerated." Zhou Zhi said quickly: " I just happened to know the appearance of the Jianyuan year number and the stamped parts. The real identification work was done by my fourth cousin. By the way, he also taught me my calligraphy enlightenment, and he also cured the seal for me. "
“Original It comes from family background..." The third master glanced at his grandson helplessly and sighed: "Young man, it's very good..."
"Then let's continue looking at something." Manager Fei. Take out the Jihong Tianqiu bottle and put it aside: "This is the thing that opens the door. Don't hold it open, Liu Er. Go and order food. No need for wine. I have it in the car."
The third master waved to Liu Er: " Whatever Teacher Fei wants, just go ahead.”
After Liu Er left, Third Master said to Manager Fei and Zhou Zhi: "My grandson, I'm afraid he won't be able to learn this lesson."
"Interest is the best teacher." Zhou Zhi said : "If the second brother is really not interested, it is better to do something else as soon as possible."
"Is opening a restaurant really better than playing connoisseurship?" The third master finally showed confusion in his shrewd look. : "Or are you saying that I delayed the child?"
"What is the academic qualifications of the second brother?" Zhou Zhi asked: "It would be very difficult for this industry without the support of Chinese studies..."
" Educational qualifications..." The third master couldn't help but smile bitterly: "My ancestors valued education and built several schools. Forget it...just keep reading."
It should be said that Liu Sanye has a very good taste. Whether it is porcelain or miscellaneous items, the items in the box are all very unique.
In addition to a few official kiln utensils with large openings, some fine products from private kilns are also worth seeing.
For example, a Daoguang blue and white baby play plate has a large window and a painting of a group of children playing the game of eagle catching chicks. Each one has vivid expressions and agile postures. You can tell at a glance that it was drawn by a master. Each The folds and folds of the brush undulate rhythmically, which is a calligraphic feature unique to literati paintings. Now that I saw it on a folk kiln porcelain, Zhou Zhi couldn't put it down.
This thing is not big, with a diameter of about a foot. It only costs a hundred yuan to get it. Zhou Zhi is not polite. The old rule is that the manager will ask for the price, and he will accept it with a 10% commission.
While appreciating the utensils and accepting the things that I liked, I chatted with the third master, and then I realized that the third master also had a private school background and studied abroad when he was young.
However, due to the reasons of the times, it was ultimately useless and even Sun Tzu's study was affected, and he ended up working in a garbage station to collect rags.
However, people are resilient. The garbage station often receives a lot of old items. The third master has a good eye, so he asked his grandson to collect the good things and sell them separately. In the end, he encountered a door-to-door collection. Manager Fei established a friendship over time.
During the conversation Liu Sanye became confused: "Zhou Xiaoyou seems to have come from a private school. Are there any private schools these days?"
"There are no private schools anymore." Zhou Zhi He smiled and said: "But there is still some family education. I was a little bit young when I was young. I was naughty, so my father sent me to my fourth cousin for treatment. I happened to like it too, so he took me into the family.” It’s good to pass on talents, but if the younger ones don’t do it well, it’s useless no matter how anxious the adults are.”
"Old man, now is not the time to say, 'Everything is of inferior quality, only education is good'. If the second brother is interested in cooking, then go to Shudu to study, and after finishing the training, you can open a small restaurant and settle down."
"This is actually enough."
