"That's what the Ghost Market is like," Zhou Zhi taught Mai Xiaomiao: "True and false, false and true, all depends on your eyesight and level."
"These things are indeed made of materials, and the materials are made of glass. I am not lying about this." Zhou Zhi said: "The production of smelting tools in the Qing Dynasty was affected by the craftsmanship at that time, and it was indeed not as good as modern high-temperature equipment. They are free, but the craftsmen also use their ingenuity to make something as beautiful as possible despite the limited craftsmanship.”
"One of the techniques is called 'nesting', or lining."
"The meaning of nesting is to first make a device, such as this red Chilong snuff bottle. The bottom tire has a large door. The jargon is called 'Lotus Root Ground'. This is a standard feature of the Yongzheng Dynasty."

"After the carcass is made, the craftsmen will heat it and then coat it with a layer of glass of another color. This is why this process is called 'coating'."
"For example, this snuff bottle is made of lotus root powder and is covered with a layer of cinnabar red."
"Then use sand to grind the surface layer, and you can create three-dimensional and different-color patterns."
"So this pink vial with a red dragon coiled around it is authentic? But the color is exactly what you just said. It is for girls..."
"This view is actually the thinking of modern people." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "You have seen the world in the National Expo these days. You also know the pursuit of fresh, pure and bright glaze colors by the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, and those Tourmaline lapis lazuli jade decorated court beads..."
"There are also pastels, which are quite girly." Mai Xiaomiao felt that she understood: "It turns out that this is the aesthetics of the Qing emperor."
"Yes, so what I just said was to deceive the stall owner. Only these few things in his stall are valuable."
"You are so bad." Mai Xiaomiao bumped Zhou Zhi's shoulder: "He is obviously the real third generation of the Qing Dynasty, but you deceived him into a modern handicraft."
"He also used modern handicrafts to deceive me from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty." Zhou Zhi expressed dissatisfaction: "Didn't we just draw a tie?"
"But I don't want these vials."
"Why? Didn't you like it just now?"
"You said, the stall owner's ancestors used it... it's disgusting!"
"That's what the stall owner is talking nonsense..."
“I don’t want it anyway!”
"Okay, if you don't want it, just leave it to me." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Xiao Miao did a good job just now. His reaction was very quick and natural."
"Well, you're right. You said it looks good, but you missed it." Mai Xiaomiao nodded: "But the price you put on my back really shocked me."
"My clothes are thick in winter, and this trick will freeze my hands. It's not designed well." Zhou Zhi said, "Fortunately, you can still feel it, otherwise it would have been me."
"You should be more powerful than me."
"No, no, no, he might have caught me in the first place. These guys are all very smart. They can tell at a glance whether they are new or experienced. They won't be wary of someone like you."
"You haven't told me whether those small pots I bought for two hundred yuan made a profit or a loss."
"Oh, we have to see if the two old men like this when we go back. If they like it, we will lose. If they don't like it, we will make a profit." Mai Xiaomiao was happy again and bumped into Zhou Zhi again. Shake your shoulders: "If the two grandpas like it, we can give it to them as gifts. This is also good."
Zhou Zhi was wondering if the reason why Mai Xiaomiao liked the two old men so much was because they had similar personalities. In terms of giving things away casually, they were quite similar.
The opportunity to shop for goods in Beijing also opened Zhou Zhi's eyes. Compared with Shudu, the quality of goods here is much higher.
The most common porcelain on the Chinese toy market in Sichuan is the porcelain of the Republic of China, and then it jumps directly to the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and goes directly to the Han, Tang and Song Dynasties.
The porcelain of the Han, Tang, and Song dynasties was mediocre. The original celadon of the Han Dynasty was of little value except for its archaeological value. In the Tang Dynasty, apart from tricolor and secret-color porcelain, folk wares were also quite average. The few pieces Zhou Zhi has in his hands are already rare fine products.
Except for the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, the rest also have mostly archaeological value. Things from the five famous kilns are generally not seen in the antique market. On the contrary, there are many crude porcelains from private kilns. However, even complete porcelains in the hands of experts are not The fragments from the Five Great Kilns are not as valuable.
But the big willow tree in the capital is different. There are many kinds of blue and white, pastel, and monochrome porcelain. And there are enough years, from the Ming Dynasty to modern times, all of them.
The only regrettable thing is that most of the porcelain has some slight defects, such as overprinting, knocking, glaze shock, chipping, damaged color, fried bottom, loss of brightness... It is really rare to see complete products.
With Zhou Zhi's current eyesight and strength, it is natural that he can no longer look down on such things, so he visited several places. When Mai Xiaomiao touched a few things, Zhou Zhi no longer said "it looks good", but "it doesn't look good". Too accurate."
Occasionally when the stall owner bothers her too much, Zhou Zhi will also teach Mai Xiaomiao some cultural and entertainment knowledge in front of the stall owner. In the jargon, this is called "bright bottom", which means don't fool me as a sheep cake. , everyone is an expert.
Usually when encountering such a situation, the stall owner will no longer pester, but hope that he and Mai Xiaomiao will leave quickly, because this will affect the stall owner's business.

"There is no problem with this piece of porcelain from the surface." Now Zhou Zhi is conducting popular science on Mai Xiaomiao: "But this piece of porcelain has obviously been repaired."
"Where has it been repaired?" Mai Xiaomiao asked.
The skylight was not bright, so a flashlight was needed, but under the flashlight no faults could be seen on the porcelain.
Zhou Zhi took off Mai Xiaomiao's gloves and taught her to lightly scratch the glaze with her nails: "Do you feel it?"
"Huh?" Nails are actually very sensitive equipment, but many people don't know that as soon as Mai Xiaomiao's finger passed directly over the surface of the porcelain, she felt that there was a place that was different from other places: "Here?"
"There was a punch line here before. The punch line is a small crack on the porcelain. Any such small crack will be very obvious if you feel it with your fingernails."
"But what is more obvious should be the thread marks, which are the traces left by the dirt accumulated in the punching lines. If a piece of porcelain has punching lines, you can't see it but you can feel it..."
"That means it has been processed!" Mai Xiaomiao understood immediately.
"Auntie, please keep your voice down!" Zhou Zhi quickly covered Mai Xiaomiao's mouth and said to the stall owner: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, she is a little stick, she just came to see the world, we are leaving now... Offended Offended.”
"Wait a minute!" The stall owner was an old man in his fifties or sixties. He was not angry at all. He smiled slightly and took out a tissue bag from a green canvas bag. After opening it, he revealed a small plate and placed it in front of Zhou Zhi. : "Girls are like sticks, but little brother, you are an expert. Your eyesight is so precise. Do you dare to look at another one?"
"Sir, what can you teach me?" Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel solemn.
"We all live together, and the rules are different for both insiders and outsiders. So I'd like to ask you, little brother, to plate this plate and tell the truth. You can take the three hundred yuan. But if you can't explain clearly, you can still Take it away, you have to give it to me for the price, how about it?" (End of Chapter)
