Shengshibaojian

Shen Qiu left the Immortal Fish Pavilion, and hurried back to Xuanbaozhai.

I thought Han Kuisheng's people were here to make trouble, but I saw the door of Xuanbao Zhai was closed, and I saw Zhu Xiaogang standing there looking anxiously.

Seeing Shen Qiu's return, Zhu Xiaogang rushed up to meet him anxiously: "Brother Shen, you are finally back! Something happened, something happened! Go in and have a look! Sister Xiaowen and several bosses are waiting for you in the room!"

Shen Qiu was suddenly a little confused, Xie Jingwen and the clerk would only panic if someone came to the door to cause trouble: "What happened? Are you all in such a panic?"

"Brother Shen, there is something wrong with our goods, and the buyers are coming to our door!" Zhu Xiaogang leaned over and muttered in a low voice.

"Huh? Something went wrong with the sold goods?"

This situation was quite surprising. Shen Qiu raised his head and took a look inside the store. There were two bosses sitting side by side in the room. The faces of the two bosses were ashen, and the atmosphere was a bit stiff.

The two bosses, Shen Qiu, knew each other. One was Boss Bao, a local collector in Jiangcheng, and the other was a retired local teacher, Teacher Tan.

Both of them are regular customers of Xuanbaozhai, and they usually take care of business in Xuanbaozhai. A few days ago, they bought two goods from Xuanbaozhai one after the other, a piece of white glazed porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, One is a calligraphy and painting from the early Qing Dynasty.

Now, the two items of Boss Bao and Mr. Tan are placed on the counter at the same time. It is obvious that there is something wrong with the two antiques.

"Master Shen, you are back! Come and see what's going on here?"

Teacher Tan was rather anxious, and dragged Shen Qiu up to check: "I just bought this Liu Hu's calligraphy and painting from your Xuanbaozhai the day before yesterday, and something went wrong two days after I went back! This... What the hell is this?" what's going on?"

Boss Bao also stood up and pointed to the white-glazed amphora: "It's just a coincidence, Master Shen, that I bought this porcelain on the same day as Teacher Tan, and something went wrong! Although this white porcelain amphora is not good for you, It’s nothing, but it’s our hard-earned money! These problems happened in a blink of an eye! 80 porcelain gave birth to such a thing! Now 8 yuan will not be hired!”

Shen Qiu nodded and comforted: "Take it easy, you two, come one by one, what's the problem?"

Xie Jingwen came up and poured tea for the two bosses: "You two, sit down and have a drink of tea first. The things were bought at Xuanbaozhai. We will be responsible for any problems that arise! I, Xie Jingwen, promise here that I will not let you The two bear the slightest loss!"

After Xie Jingwen said this, the excitement of the two bosses calmed down a little. Shen Qiu first looked at the boss's big white-glazed double-eared bottle. When I bought it back, Shen Qiu wasn't there at the time, and Xie Jingwen and the store staff handled all the procedures.

This white glaze bottle was received by Shen Qiu in the store. The color of the white glaze was relatively perfect at that time. The glaze color of the white glaze is bright and shiny. It belongs to a rare piece of fine porcelain in the early Qing Dynasty, but Shen Qiu will look at it again. , already things have changed.

Nothing can be seen from the front of the white-glazed porcelain bottle, but Shen Qiu can tell the condition of this porcelain from the moment he enters the door. There is an extremely disharmonious picture on its base and the bottom of the bottle. It was originally milky white. A scar the size of an eggshell appeared on the porcelain, which was particularly conspicuous at first glance. A green scar?

This is like a beautiful woman with a beautiful face, like a slap-sized birthmark on her face, which completely destroys the beauty in it. The green scar makes the original beautiful white porcelain bottle extremely awkward.

"Boss Bao! Tell Shen Qiu what's going on with this white-glazed amphora?"

Xie Jingwen is also puzzled. The formation of porcelain is actually the reaction of chemical elements magnesium, silicon, and iron. It stands to reason that it is impossible to have scars in the process of preservation. At least the porcelain she has been in contact with for six years is still the first. This is the first time I saw the strange phenomenon of green spots on the body of porcelain.

"I don't know what's going on! After I bought this piece of porcelain, it has been kept in a glass cabinet. All the porcelain in the store is preserved in this way. I got up this morning and took a look. Green spots are born! To say that this is really a big and rare thing, I have been making antiques for more than ten years, and I have also seen mildew spots on the surface of porcelain, and those mildew spots can be removed by simply wiping. This green spot of yours seems to grow out of white porcelain bones!"

"I have seen it!" Shen Qiu said, "I have seen green spots on porcelain. There is only one possibility, and that is that a lot of mineral impurities have been incorporated during the kiln firing process. Porcelain has been stored in a humid environment for many years, and dark green spots will appear, but it is by no means this kind of green spots. The green spots can be cured by soaking in hydrogen peroxide, but the green spots we see are very strange, Boss Bao That's right! It's like growing out of it!"

Shen Qiu took a closer look, brought the green spot on the bottle to his nose and smelled it, and suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had found the key point of the problem: "This thing is wrong! This green spot is wrong! There are corrosive chemicals the taste of!"

Shen Qiu smelled it several times, and finally confirmed: "That's right! This green spot has nothing to do with the porcelain itself, but a phenomenon that was caused in the later stage. If you smell it carefully, there are very obvious two spots on the surface of the green spot. The smell of chlorine oxide!"

Xie Jingwen followed up and smelled it, and sure enough, he smelled a rather pungent chemical smell. Although he didn't know the name of the chemical, the smell made his nose sour.

"Hey! Master Shen! Thank you boss! What do you two mean? Are you suspecting that I have numb hands and feet on the porcelain with ears? You are not being kind! The things were bought from Xuanbaozhai It’s only been two days since I left it at home? Don’t you plan to admit it now? Could it be that someone is here to touch you!”

There is a rule in the world of antiques. When the goods are shipped out of the counter, they are not responsible. This means that the treasures are bought and left. If you leave the store, you have to pick up the leaks or eat them. You have to take care of yourself. Bao Boss’s porcelain is bought back for two days and then comes back to find the funeral. Obviously not in line with the rules of the antique world.

"Boss Bao, please don't get excited! You bought it from our store! Naturally, we are responsible for you, and we won't let you bear the loss. We are just analyzing the reason for the sudden change of porcelain, let's do it! Porcelain bottle Xuan Bao Zhai will bear the loss! You don't have to bear a penny of responsibility!"

Xie Jingwen gestured to ask Qiqi to write a check for the refund to Boss Bao first, which can be regarded as a reassurance for Boss Bao.

Boss Bao took a sip of his tea, and gave a thumbs up to Xie Jingwen: "Boss Xie is not a loss, but Boss Xie! There is absolutely nothing to say about the reputation of a century-old store. I admire someone Bao for this!"

Shen Qiu waved his hand and said, "Boss Bao! Don't say anything if you're being polite. I'll ask you a few things and you should answer them truthfully."

"Master Shen, tell me what you say! As long as I know someone, I will tell you everything!"

"The first question, has this white-glazed porcelain bottle been kept in your shop? Has it been changed, or has it come into contact with any special chemicals? Do you also smell the pungent smell?" It's here, if it wasn't for the contact with some substance in the middle, it is absolutely impossible for this kind of green scar to appear!"

"No, no!" Boss Bao shook his head and denied in a hurry: "The price of this bottle is very expensive to me, and I put it in the most important place in the store from the beginning to the end, the vacuum glass storage cabinet !As for the chemicals you mentioned are impossible to exist! I dare to swear on my chest!"

"Well, let me ask you a second question. Besides yourself, has anyone else touched this white porcelain amphora? Boss Bao, can you recall it carefully?"

"Yes! Someone has encountered it!"

Boss Bao didn't deny it, and said truthfully: "I first fell in love with this white glaze bottle, and I just wanted to buy it back to make a fortune. After all, the appearance of this white porcelain is complete, and the reflection of the white glaze is also excellent. , I just want to resell and make money again! There are a few customers who have seen it, but they all checked it in my sight! Didn’t see any chemicals?”
