Shengshibaojian

Xuanbaozhai after nightfall.

The weather is gradually getting cooler, and the climate in Yanjing is extremely cold. In late autumn, the temperature drops sharply to seven degrees, and there are few people in the usual bustling antique street.

There was a faint light in Xuanbaozhai, and there were a few old faces gathered in the room.

Old Scholar, Master Xiao, Sanye, Ma Andu, Qin Qingyu, Liu Yangdong, Yang Qing and several important figures in the antique world.

Shen Qiu also saw Zheng Guangrong in it. At this moment, Zheng Tiancai had lost the arrogance and arrogance of the past. He shrank in the corner and did not dare to look up at others, like a wounded frightened bird.

Perhaps at this moment, he realized his insignificance, but he didn't know that during the National Master Ranking Contest, he once thought that he was one of the top three in the world's most powerful appreciating treasures, but the reality hit him hard A slap in the face, knocking him down from the high heavens into the ice hole in the ground, the kind that was cold from head to toe.

In addition, Shen Qiu also noticed a man wearing a black windbreaker standing beside Ma Andu.

This man is about 30 years old, dressed in a slightly youthful style, with a standard middle-parted hair, and a humble smile on his face.

An authentic old Yanjing copper shabu-shabu was placed on the side of the round table. Qin Qingyu prepared some hot food for everyone, and the simple and simple dinner began.

Ma Andu first said: "Everyone, everyone is a representative of Yanjing's antique industry. I have gathered you together today. I have a few important things to explain. There are good news and bad news. It can be said that it is mixed. Ah! Let me tell you some good news first! Come on! Let me introduce this young man to you first!"

"This man's name is Fang Yongjia, and he comes from the Weihe area of ​​our hometown. Even though Yongjia is only 30 years old, he has been in contact with antique appreciation since he was three years old. He can be regarded as a master in the treasure appraisal industry." The strength of their Fang family may not be as good as those of Yanjing City, but they are already one of the best in the Weihe area!"

"I have known Yongjia for nearly 20 years, and I have been good friends with his father for many years, so it is not an exaggeration to say that I watched Yongjia grow up. His skills are as heavy as I am. It is also very understanding!"

"Many masters appraise treasures in strange and different ways. For example, our master Shen Qiu is good at touching treasures. In front of Ridao, Xiaokai is good at using various measuring tools to survey collections. For example, there is also "Tingbao" in front of him. Our Yongjia is also a very unique way of appraising treasures, that is "Wenbao"!"

Wen Bao? Everyone in the room showed surprised expressions. Even Shen Qiu and Qin Qingyu looked at each other. What kind of operation does Bao do?

"Okay, hello everyone, I'm very glad to meet all the bosses of Yanjing City here, especially Shen Qiu, Master Shen, who has long been familiar with Master Shen Qiu's prestige, and seeing him today is indeed a well-deserved reputation with extraordinary strength, and then I will Let me tell you about Wen Bao's general operation."

"Looking, hearing, and asking, this is the primary operation of ancient Chinese medicine consultation. In fact, it is also common in the treasure appraisal world. Smell is the second. As the name suggests, our treasure appraisal method is to smell, smell, and gain insights through personal noses. The smell of each baby, the smell of the baby of each age has long formed a memory point in our minds! So when I smell the smell of the collection for the first time, I can judge its quality perhaps!"

"This is amazing!"

The old scholar couldn't help but said: "To be honest, I've been in the antique world for so long, and this is the first time I've heard of Wen Bao. Come on! This little brother doesn't mind showing everyone your talent! Let's feast our eyes on it!"

"I would like to listen to senior's orders..." Fang Jialong nodded in response.

The old scholar and master Xiao stood up and brought up a collection from the shelf of Xuanbaozhai. The first collection was a small jade carving, a milky white toad, which was just received by Xiaoqing last week. work.

It just so happened that Shen Qiu also took a look at it, and basically knew the outline of this toad.

Shen Qiu frowned slightly. If it was an ordinary treasure appraiser, it would be easy to identify the attributes of this toad, but it was a little difficult for Fang Jialong, because the smell emitted by this jade carving itself contained many kinds of.

One is the jade taste of the jade carving toad itself, which is a taste that comes with every jade piece!

The other is the owner who has been in contact with this jade carving. The environment in which the owner places it will have a corresponding smell. For example, if you bury it in the tomb below, you will smell a dark and damp smell. Put it in a sunny place, and the surface can smell the natural aging taste refracted by the sun.

The various tastes in it are fishy and fake. It looks like a simple piece of jade carving, but it is an extremely test of Fang Jialong's ability!

Fang Jialong gently held it in his hand, first sniffed the toad's head, and then went over the toad's various positions for a while. After about 2 minutes, he put down the jade carving toad confidently.

"Everyone, Mr. Lan's toad jade carving is very special. I have smelled at least [-] different smells on it, including the smells of several owners it has experienced, as well as its own jade quality. The smell it exudes! There are many smells of its environment, I will pick a few important ones and tell everyone!"

"This piece of jade itself is very old, at least 400 years from now, and it should be uranium jade in the late Ming Dynasty, but the carvings on its body are not of the same age! The master of the carving is ingenious. Incorporating the markings on this piece of jade, it carved out the unique shape of this toad."

"According to my judgment, the jade is from the late Ming Dynasty, but the carver was born in the late Yongzheng period. The jade carving itself did not leave an obvious inscription, but the carver was top-notch at that time. , and if my guess is not wrong, this toad should only be a part of the whole jade carving, and there should be other matching shapes besides it..."

"Based on the above, I value this toad at 8000 yuan. If we can find another matching jade carving, its price can be doubled at most, reaching [-] to [-] yuan!"

Fang Jialong's analysis was very comprehensive, and then Master Xiao also brought up a collection. It was a Buddhist bead, a string of small-leaf red sandalwood Buddhist beads. One can see its age at a glance.

Seeing Fang Jialong holding the beads in his hand, sniffing them slightly between his nose, he immediately nodded and said, "Master Xiao's string of beads is even more bizarre. The eight beads come from four different eras. Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and the Republic of China... Some beads have a coating layer left over from the years, and some are a short-term machine-ground coating layer. Your string of beads is simply a pot of hodgepodge! "

"As for the valuation, it can only be estimated based on the Buddhist beads of each age alone. I took a rough look just now, and considering all the circumstances, its estimated value fluctuates around 3 yuan..."

"Yes, yes! Both of these treasures are well-founded! I thought that the powerful masters were hiding in Yanjing City, but I didn't expect that your Weihe River is also the land of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, and there are such powerful young men hiding there! The young man is very powerful ! The future is bright!"

Master Xiao couldn't hide his excitement, and he gave Fang Jialong an approving look.

"Thank you, Master Xiao for your approval!" Fang Jialong stretched out his right hand in the direction of Master Xiao, signaling to shake hands with Master Xiao.

When Master Xiao cooperated with him to shake hands, he put Master Xiao's fat palm between his nose and smelled it, and immediately said with a smile: "Master Xiao, you are also a great master of appreciating treasures!"
