My life has subtitles

"Secret Titanium?"

Hearing this word, everyone present in the Chunan Province exhibition area asked a question, that is, what is secret titanium?

"Brother Xiao Yang, forgive me for my lack of knowledge. I know colored glaze. What is the material of secret titanium?"

Mr. Lin asked for everyone.

Hear the words.

Yang Chen shrugged: "I'm sorry, I don't know it very well. I just learned the full name of this nine-hole bead from a certain source."

Mr. Lin nodded.

"Brother Xiao Yang, thank you for your generous help."

"Then I will inform the jury now that our Chu Nan side will also temporarily add an additional exhibit to participate in the competition."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone nodded.

Zhejiang Province does not play its cards according to routines, so our Chunan Province can naturally do the same.

but

"Old Brother Lin, Brother Yang, please forgive me for my blindness. To be honest, this nine-hole bead may be a very valuable ancient relic. However, compared with that [Wan Gong Sedan], I personally feel that it is not worth it." How cheap is it?"

Boss Huang Ronglin, who has always been forthright, said with concern.

What he said was actually what everyone was thinking.

That's right.

The nine-hole glazed titanium beads from the Warring States Period are certainly exquisite.

But compared with the [Wangong Sedan] on the stage, it still feels a little less interesting!

In fact, Mr. Lin also had this idea.

It's just hard to speak.

Although the nine-hole glazed bead from Yongshi was also produced during the Warring States Period and is considered one of the finest collections in the Yongshi Museum, its value and significance are not even included in the Chunan Provincial Museum.

This bead is certainly much stronger than that one.

But in general, based on the market price alone, I am afraid it will not reach a small target.

And that [Wan Gong Sedan], not to mention anything else, is just made of golden nanmu, and it has several small targets to go up.

Although value is only one aspect of the evaluation.

But if the difference is too great, it will naturally affect the results of the competition.

and so.

Hearing Huang Ronglin's question, although Mr. Lin didn't say anything, he also cast a questioning look at Yang Chen.

after all.

If you have to say there is something extraordinary about this piece, I am afraid it is the mysterious material called secret titanium.

See this.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can ask the three national judges on the stage to taste it first and see how their eyesight is."

"That [Wangong Sedan] is indeed a top-notch treasure."

"But to be honest, compared with the real value of this nine-hole glazed secret titanium bead, let alone [Wan Gong Jiao]..."

Having said this, Yang Chen paused.

What he actually wanted to say was, let alone the "Wan Gong Sedan", I'm afraid that all the antiques and cultural relics in China might not have their true value - the actual secret value.

why?

Because the treasure map it hides cannot even be judged by the system.

So obviously.

The treasures hidden in the treasure map naturally cannot be judged by the cognition and standards of the earth.

However, Yang Chen paused and changed his mind.

After all, saying that would be too outrageous and exaggerated, and could easily cause misunderstandings or unnecessary trouble.

I thought about it.

Yang Chen changed his words: "What I mean is, if the three national judges can't see the magic of this bead, I will add more."

"Anyway."

"Compared with things like [Wangong Sedan], it's still a bit far behind."

to be frank.

For Yang Chen.

Almost everyone present has unconditional trust.

no way.

Although he is young, his rise is short, and his qualifications are shallow.

But the experience is legendary enough.

and so.

Since this legendary leak-picking king is so confident, so confident, and so confident, what do they have to worry about?

Yes!

This young man can always bring surprises to them!

So Mr. Lin came on stage.

Communicated with the jury.

And when the news came out, there was inevitably another commotion in the audience - the boos from the Zhejiang camp became even louder.

"If we say we don't follow the rules, don't you do the same?"

"It's okay. You can just bring in reinforcements. If that doesn't work, invite your grandma Xin Zhui over to sit in our big sedan chair."

"Don't waste any more time, we're not buying anything from the museum."

Friends from Zhejiang Province joked again.

As for Chu Nan Province, it was like a shot of heart-stimulating drug, and the depressed mood was obviously agitated, and their eyes were all fixed on Yang Chen.

They are very curious and looking forward to what surprises this pride of Chunan antique circle can bring to them.

Even Liu Qingshan, Liu Ruyan and others from Zhejiang Province opened their eyes wide.

Let's see what tricks Yang Chen can play.

Unless he goes to the Provincial Museum to transfer goods, and it must be a real treasure of the museum, not one of a kind, there is no chance of winning against this [Wangong Sedan].

soon.

After discussion by the jury.

The request of Mr. Lin from Chunan Province was also approved.

no way.

Mr. Liu from Zhejiang Province can do this, and Mr. Lin from Chunan Province can naturally do the same.

A bowl of water should be held level.

It doesn’t matter if the judging panel disagrees.

of course.

The judging panel also officially reminded: From now on, both parties are not allowed to add additional exhibits to the competition for any reason.

At the same time, he also reminded Mr. Lin.

The participating exhibits must comply with the competition rules and must be antiques and cultural relics with local characteristics.

What I mean is, don’t buy things from the Chunan Provincial Museum.

Mr. Lin naturally had no objection.

then.

Today, the selection of the top three at the Chu-Zhe Antiques Exchange Meeting officially begins.

The three antiques selected for competition in Zhejiang Province are: Warring States crystal cup, Long Kiln porcelain, and that king: [Ningbo sedan chair carved with Zhujin wood].

As for Chunan Province, it is changed to:

[Toothless Lotus Dragon] fossil, Qin bamboo slip multiplication table, [Nine-hole glazed secret titanium beads].

And when the words [Nine-hole Glazed Secret Titanium Bead] came out of Mr. Lin's mouth, many people at the scene looked confused.

What kind of beads are these?

Is it awesome?

Some knowledgeable people think of the nine-hole glazed bead in Yongshi. They wonder what is different about this bead with the word "secret titanium" and what's so magical about it?

soon.

The three antiques submitted by the two provinces for the competition were all delivered to the rostrum.

Waiting for the appraisal and evaluation by three national judges.

And this moment.

on the big screen.

The staff responsible for the camera took pictures of the six participating antiques and cultural relics from all directions and projected them on the big screen in real time.

And when everyone saw the [Nine-hole Glazed Secret Titanium Bead].

Friends here in Chunan Province felt anxious again.

On the surface, this bead doesn't seem to be particularly dazzling.

As for my friends from Zhejiang Province, they burst into laughter.

It seems to be saying that this kind of thing is worthy of being compared with the [Wangong Sedan] made of top-grade golden nanmu during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty?

Just because it is something from the Warring States Period?

Ok.

If one relies on age, the fossil of "Toothless Hibiscus" may be more reliable.

but.

now.

offstage.

But one person's eyes suddenly burst out with an unparalleled and strange look.

……

"Ruyan, do you see anything special about this nine-hole bead?" Zhejiang Province camp.

Liu Qingshan, Mr. Liu, asked his granddaughter Liu Ruyan beside him.

Hear the words.

Liu Ruyan pondered for a moment and said, "Grandpa, I remember that there is a record in an ancient book that this kind of nine-hole glazed beads is a sacred object worshiped by the shaman tribe of Chu State."

"And this sacred object is divided into four levels: heaven, earth, humans and ghosts, based on the ethnic group and the identity of the sacrificer."

"It is said that the nine-hole glazed bead unearthed in Yong City, Chunan Province is the lowest among the four levels, the ghost level, while the highest level, the heaven level, hides a shocking secret."

Speaking of this, Liu Ruyan frowned.

"This nine-hole bead is slightly similar to the one in Yongshi."

"But it's actually very different."

"Whether it is the highest level of heaven, I have to personally identify it before I can judge."

"But the word "secret titanium". Grandpa, I have read all the ancient books, read all the historical materials, and visited countless museums and collections around the world. I really don't know what it is."

Hear her out.

Liu Qingshan nodded.

"Then do you think that [nine-hole glazed secret titanium bead] is stronger or weaker than our [Wangong Sedan]?"

Liu Ruyan thought for a while and was about to answer.

At this time, Liu Feifan rushed to answer: "Grandpa, I think this bead is probably nothing more than that."

"In terms of craftsmanship, it is nothing more than punching nine interconnected holes with smooth inner walls on the glass body. During the Warring States Period, it was indeed more difficult."

"But it's not really a work of art."

"It's not like our [Wangong Sedan]."

"Don't talk about the special all-mortise and tenon structure, just talk about the lacquer craftsmanship and carving skills, and you can beat it by a few blocks."

"That bead is just stained with the light of the times."

"If we really want to talk about it, our [Wangong Sedan] is much better."

Liu Feifan spoke loudly and firmly.

Hear the words.

Liu Qingshan and Liu Ruyan smiled at each other and did not argue with her.

Just keep your eyes on the judges' table.

Waiting for the answers and results from the three national judges.

Among the three national judges, Mr. Chen, who was only over 100 years old, showed a solemn look on his face after seeing the [nine-hole glazed secret titanium bead], and took the lead to seriously evaluate it.

offstage.

Everyone was talking about it.

On the stage.

The intense selection of the top three is in progress.

Although Chunan Province also followed suit and temporarily added a [Nine-hole Glazed Secret Titanium Bead] to participate in the competition, most people, including some friends from Chunan Province, believed that the champion was not the [Wangong Jiao]. Nothing else.

Only Yang Chen.

He was as steady as an old dog in his seat under the stage.

Hidden strength and name.

Seeing his appearance and trusting him, Mr. Lin and others felt relieved.

Expect miracles and surprises to come.

at last.

After several rounds of careful discussions and judgments by three national-level judges, the list of the top three finally came out.

"Dear friends and distinguished guests."

"After careful discussion with Teacher Ma and Mr. Chen, the top three names for this Chu-Zhe antique exchange meeting are:..."

At this point, Mr. Huang Gang, who had been a host, immediately acted cleverly, selling off the details and raising the suspense: "Dear friends, friendship comes first, and competition comes second."

"No matter what the outcome is, friends from Chu and Zhejiang provinces, please don't let this hurt our friendship!"

As soon as these words came out.

There was a commotion in the audience.

Damn it!

Do you want to learn from the director of "I Am a Singer"?

Stop whetting your appetite.

Announce it quickly.

Everyone was slandering one after another.

But Teacher Huang Gang smiled.

Continuing to whet the appetite: "This time the top three selections are mainly scored from five aspects: history, value, culture, craftsmanship, and characteristics."

"Each item is worth 10 points."

"The ranking will be determined based on the overall average score."

At this point, Teacher Huang Gang used his host's sense of humor and rhythm and said: "Now we will announce the third runner-up in the top three, which is the winner of the third overall."

"That is……"

At this point, Teacher Huang Gang dropped the topic and asked: "Which one do you think it is?"

The audience immediately wanted to curse.

See this.

Teacher Huang Gang stopped teasing everyone.

Start announcing the results.

"The third best flower in the top three is the Warring States Crystal Cup from Zhejiang Province."

"History 9.2 points, value 9 points, culture 8.5 points, craftsmanship 9.6 points, characteristics 9 points, the average score is 9.06 points, and it won the third place."

As soon as this result comes out.

The Zhejiang camp naturally burst into applause and cheers.

The evaluation given by the judging panel is that this Warring States crystal cup can well reflect the economy and wine culture of the aristocrats of Zhejiang Province at that time.

At the same time, it is polished with a whole crystal, which is almost equivalent to the effect of a modern glass.

This kind of craftsmanship and characteristics were astonishing at the time.

And until now, after years of research, it is still impossible to figure out the process and effect of polishing the inner wall of crystal.

During the Warring States Period, there was such a special level of craftsmanship and unique crystal cups, which are truly commendable, so the third place is well deserved.

Next.

That’s the second place: second place.

"The second among the top three is the fossil of [Toothless Furongosaurus] from Chunan Province."

"Among them, history is 10 points, value is 8.8 points, culture is 9 points, craftsmanship is 8 points, and characteristics are 9.8. The average score is 9.12 points, and we won the second place."

As soon as this result comes out.

Naturally, it was the turn of the Chunan camp to cheer loudly and applaud warmly.

The evaluation given by the judging panel is:

This [Toothless Furosaurus] fossil may be at a disadvantage in terms of craftsmanship, and its market value is not very good in the fossil collection world.

But because it is a prehistoric cultural relic, research shows that it may be the ancestor of dinosaurs, so history, culture, and characteristics have a great advantage.

Therefore, in summary, it has to be second on the list.

At last.

He is tonight's champion, the top pick, the first among the top three.

The tense moment finally arrived.

but.

According to the results of the top pick and the second place, friends in the Chunan camp are a little bit unable to sit still.

obviously.

The final winner will be selected among the [Wangong Sedan] and the other three participating antiques.

The other three participating antiques may be [nine-hole glazed secret titanium beads].

It could be something else.

But [Wangong Sedan] is absolutely impossible to fall behind.

What do you mean?

that is.

If the honor of being the number one pick falls on the other three antiques, then, no matter what, the [Wan Gong Sedan] will at least be in second place, second on the list.

but now.

The second place on the list is [Toothless Hibiscus Dragon] from Chunan Province.

This means that the result of the number one pick is already obvious.

no doubt.

This is a temporary additional exhibit from Zhejiang Province. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Ningbo sedan chair was made of top-grade golden nanmu.

and so.

Friends from the Chunan Province camp are a little bit unable to sit still.

They all looked at Mr. Lin and Yang Chen with doubts and confusion. (End of chapter)
