Chapter 90 Camel Skin
This tapestry has five layers in total, so it looks extremely heavy.
What was in front of the two of them at this time was the middle layer.
Because Xu Youyou's movements are gentle, this layer of drawing patterns is perfectly presented.
This level is divided into two areas.
A region is a territory map.
Another area is a portrait, which looks like a Qing Dynasty person wearing a imperial crown.
The edges and interstitial areas of the layer are filled with dragons.
"Camel skin, the person in the portrait is..." Lu Jingyao hesitated for a moment before saying, "It seems to be Emperor Qianlong."
He took out his mobile phone and searched for the existing portrait of Emperor Qianlong. He placed the screen of the mobile phone next to the portrait and compared it. Sure enough, it was very similar: "The portrait looks like he was forty or fifty years old."
Xu Youyou compared it carefully and asked: "So, is this map the territory map of the Qing Dynasty?"
Lu Jingyao took a look and said: "Zhungeer was included in the map probably after General Zhaohui went out to conquer and recover, or after the 22nd year of Qianlong."
Xu Youyou didn't care much about the date of the painting. She was more concerned about another question and asked: "Is this thing valuable?"
Lu Jingyao nodded: "There should be many people willing to buy it back, and the valuation is nine figures."
Xu Youyou was overjoyed.
Lu Jingyao added: "But if you really want to sell it, I suggest you send it to the capital."
Xu Youyou nodded. He understood what Lu Jingyao meant. Many old people from the previous dynasty still stayed in the capital, and they would definitely be willing to pay a high price for Emperor Qianlong's old belongings.
When she thought that this tapestry should have been hung on the wall, but was trampled on the ground by the Lu family for so long and almost thrown into the trash can, Emperor Qianlong would be very angry if he knew about it.
Lu Jingyao had seen the whole blanket, and he had no reason to stay here anymore. He stood up to leave and said, "I'm going to the capital in a while. I have some friendship with an auction house there. If you want, I can I’ll accompany you to the auction house.”
Xu Youyou's eyes lit up. She had never been to the capital in her entire life. When she mentioned this place, she always turned a blind eye. Having an acquaintance with her would be better than anything else.
After Lu Jingyao left, Xu Youyou put away the tapestry, rolled it up carefully, put it in his large safe, and then asked Sister Zhang to clean the entrance to the house.
Have a good night's sleep.
The system seemed to be lagging behind. Xu Youyou had just woken up in the morning before receiving the reward from the system.
[Congratulations to the host, you completed the task of picking up leaks and received the reward: Advanced Porcelain Appraisal Technique]
Xu Youyou immediately beamed with joy. She had gained a new skill and felt that she was so powerful now. She felt itchy and wanted to find a place to test her abilities on the spot.
She found it directly in the museum.
There is no need to read the introduction of the porcelain. Xu Youyou's explanation on the spot is not much different from that of the museum's professional commentator.
But the more this happened, the more itchy she felt. After all, the porcelain in the museum could only be looked at twice through the glass, and there was no way to get started with it.
"Sister Xu, go to Antique Street." Xu Youyou said.
Xu Fang's homework during this period was not in vain. She took the initiative and said: "Boss, in addition to the antique street, there is also an antique morning market in Shanghai."
Xu Youyou's eyes lit up and she asked: "Where?"
Xu Fang explained: "The antique morning market is not open all day long. It is held once every Friday, starting at four o'clock in the morning and ending at noon."
When Xu Youyou heard what she said, she was immediately interested. Unfortunately, there were still two days until Friday, so she could only dive into the antique street.
The antique street was still full of familiar faces, and Xu Youyou even saw the stall owner who sold her fake Doucai cup last time. The stall owner with triangular eyes still remembered Xu Youyou, and he greeted her enthusiastically: "Beauty, you are here again. I have a new batch of good products in my stall. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Xu Youyou really sold his face and took a closer look.
Her eyes were mainly on the porcelain on the stall.
"This is a large vase from the Qianlong period. Look at the aesthetics. It's bright red and green. He likes it at first glance. Look at the stamp underneath. Beauty, I'll sell it to you cheaper. The fixed price is five hundred thousand. "Triangle Eyes promoted.
Xu Youyou smiled and said: "Why don't you sprinkle a handful of ashes on the vase? It looks so new. It doesn't look like it was from the Qianlong period, but it looks like it was from last week."
The triangle-eyed man smiled awkwardly: "What's last week and not last week? If you don't like it, just look at something else."
Xu Youyou casually picked up the azure glaze bowl on the side.
"Beauty, this is a Ru kiln azure glaze bowl..." Triangle Eyes was about to explain.
Xu Youyou said directly: "There are only two Ru kiln azure glaze bowls in existence. They are hidden in the Palace Museum and the David Foundation in London, England. Is this just the British one?"
The triangle-eyed man laughed dryly and said, "Beauty, you know everything, and coming here is a bit of a bully."
Xu Youyou smiled and said nothing, but still looked at each one one by one. Whether it was true or false, you would know at a glance.

"After looking at it for so long, buy whatever you want and I'll give you the cost price." Triangle Eyes said.
Xu Youyou didn't believe a word of the cost price mentioned by these merchants, but she didn't care about the small amount of money and said, "Okay, I'll buy something I like."
While speaking, Xu Youyou's hand suddenly stopped, but she quickly covered it up and said as if unintentionally: "How do you sell this plate?"
What Xu Youyou fell in love with was a blue and white porcelain plate. Turn it over and you can see the six words "Made in the Guangxu Year of the Qing Dynasty" in green on the bottom of the plate.
"This is from the Guangxu official kiln, and the price is 20,000 yuan." The boss said.
When Xu Youyou heard this, she almost suspected that he was an expert, but she still said tentatively: "It's so new, what do you think?"
There are neither opening lines nor any signs of repair on this plate. It looks as new as the brand-new Qianlong vase in front of it.
The boss said: "Beauty, I spent a lot of money to collect this big plate. It's not cheap."
Xu Youyou: "Three hundred yuan."
The boss immediately said: "Deal!"
Xu Youyou:......
Xu Youyou thought to herself that the stall owner was a liar, and she still set the price too high.
The stall owner wrapped up the things with a smile. Xu Youyou got up and left. She even waited for a while, but the system did not respond.
"I missed it." Xu Youyou reminded.
The system said helplessly: [The value is too low. 】
Xu Youyou insisted: "But it is indeed produced by the Guangxu official kiln. If I don't buy it, it will be regarded as a current imitation, right?"
The quality of official kiln porcelain products was closely related to the national power at that time. Products produced by official kilns during the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qian dynasties could easily be sold at high prices. However, by the Guangxu Dynasty, it was already the late Qing Dynasty, and the prices of porcelain produced by official kilns were relatively transparent.
The public price of the blue and white plate Xu Youyou bought is about 30,000 to 50,000.
The system was silent for a long time before reluctantly popping up a prompt.
[Congratulations to the host, for completing a leak-picking operation independently without system assistance and receiving a reward of RMB 300. 】
