Chapter 433 Palm Eyes
"It is really admirable that uncle can have such an idea. If many bosses nowadays can think like uncle, then there won't be so many unscrupulous businessmen." Li Xuan said with approval. In this regard, Leng Shaohua is indeed worthy of admiration. It's not that he doesn't make money for his own pursuits, but he understands that making money is for living a better life, and living is not for making more money.

This was just like the point illustrated by a short story he had read while in school.

The story is about a young fisherman who was sunbathing on the beach, fishing casually every day, and being satisfied with having enough food and a living. But a rich man said that he should not stop improving and should fish more to make money. Then the young man asked why he should fish more, as he was not short of money. But the rich man said that he should fish more and sell the money to buy more fishing nets, and then use the money to catch more fish and sell more money, and then buy fishing boats and continue fishing. Then, after a few decades, he would have a big company and a lot of money, and then he could enjoy himself with peace of mind.

But the young man asked, what am I doing now? The rich man asked, aren't you just enjoying the sunshine? The young man said, yes, I am enjoying it. Since I can enjoy it every day now, why do I have to suffer for decades before enjoying it? Maybe by that time I will be old and sick because of the heavy labor. At that time, even if there is sunshine, I may not be in the same mood as now...

This little story is just about a kind of attitude towards life. It is not wrong to struggle, but while struggling, we should also know how to enjoy life...

Leng Shaohua now understands this truth, but many big bosses don't think so. For more money and more numbers, they even lose their conscience...

Li Xuan naturally understood these principles at this moment, which made him admire Leng Shaohua's attitude.

"Well, I am open-minded. In life, it is difficult to be open-minded without experiencing some things. But many times, after experiencing something and thinking it through, we regret our past mistakes. Life is simple and complicated." Leng Shaohua said with a smile.

"It seems that uncle is also a man with a story." Li Xuan also said with a smile.

Then the two of them chatted about some things like life and philosophy, and Li Xuan continued to act as his advisor.

"Oh, this is Dehua porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, this is a three-legged basin, this is a plum blossom cup, and this is a large plate with overglaze clouds..."

Li Xuan took a quick glance and the information about these things immediately appeared in his mind.

"Yes. This Ming Dynasty Dehua porcelain three-legged washbasin is 10 cm high and 9.6 cm in diameter. It was made by a famous Ming Dynasty master, the best in Dehua - Master He Chaozong. It has a yellow-ivory texture and is glazed inside and outside, making it translucent. The workmanship is exquisite. It is rare in the world..."

Leng Shaohua said intoxicatedly.

"Bullshit..." Li Xuan felt ashamed, but he would definitely not say this out loud.

Although Dehua porcelain from the Ming Dynasty is precious, there are still quite a few of these things in existence. At least Leng Shaohua has as many as four pieces.

"Well, it has to be said that Dehua porcelain is the representative of Yunguo white porcelain, starting from the early Song Dynasty... The products of the early Song Dynasty were mainly blue-white porcelain, and with the continuous improvement of technology, it gradually developed into white-glazed porcelain. The white-glazed porcelain of the Ming Dynasty was as fat and jade-like, creating a unique "ivory white", which was regarded as the representative of Yunguo white porcelain. Its decorative techniques mainly include carving, painting, printing and piled printing. Decorative carving is also called painting. Dehua white porcelain has the characteristics of white texture, delicate like jade, smooth glaze, and sound like chimes, so it is called "Yunguo white". Its specially made thin-body products are as thin as cicada wings and exquisite. Dehua folk sculpture The artist combines sculpture with porcelain art and is good at making white porcelain Guanyin. The white porcelain Guanyin he made is lively and is recognized as a treasure of white porcelain by the world. Dehua white porcelain does not seek gorgeous colors, but pursues the beauty of simplicity, purity and elegance. It has a full understanding of the materials used, and the design positioning and orientation are accurate, fully demonstrating the creative wisdom of craftsmen of all generations. If the white porcelain of Yucizhen Kiln is famous for its blue-white glaze, Dehua white porcelain is mainly milky white, with a rich glaze layer and a jade-like luster, showing the characteristics of ice and jade, and contains an intriguing charm. In comparison, they have the same effect. "

Li Xuan thought about it and analyzed it.

"Xiao Li, your theoretical knowledge is truly unrivaled in the world. I'm ashamed to say that as an old collector, I don't know much about these." Leng Shaohua said with shining eyes.

With profound knowledge and powerful ability in antiques, Li Xuan is no different from a naked beauty to a pervert to Leng Shaohua.

"Haha, he must have done a lot of research on this in the past." Li Xuan said without comment.

"That's for sure! Dehua porcelain is indeed white, tender and lovely. That milky and tender feeling can be felt spiritually. It's really an indescribable satisfaction." Leng Shaohua said with an intoxicated look on his face.

Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but smile again.

"Dehua porcelain sculpture art has more artistic vitality and historical research value than works from other regions in terms of material selection, production techniques and forms of expression. First of all, the quality of the body and glaze is excellent, which shows that the process from production to firing is extremely careful and sophisticated. The works are thick in shape and moist in glaze. There are few flaws and large works, and the artistic style pursues harmony and perfection. Secondly, it is good at conceiving shapes according to different figures, coordinating the overall and local proportions, and perfecting the image. In the creation of figure sculptures in the feudal era of Yun State, in the absence of human models for reference, the proportions of various parts of the human body can be so accurately grasped, thanks to the artists' long-term observation and careful study of the male and female figures in real life. The female form is also absorbed from the essence of calligraphy and painting works and various folk stone, mud and wood sculpture techniques, thus reaching an artistic realm that is difficult for people to reach. Then he is good at grasping the personality characteristics of various characters, showing delicate and vivid expressions and charm from the outside to the inside. Especially the face of the Guanyin statue, which is plump and kind, the figure's shape is vivid and accurate, and the layers and depth changes of the folds and textures of the clothes are expressed with sharp and fluent knife techniques, which is the so-called sparse enough for horses to run, dense and airtight, with the rhythm of Cao's clothes emerging from water and Wu's belt facing the wind. Due to the rigorous workmanship, the shaping of the characters has an artistic style that combines form and spirit and is superb, representing the important position of Dehua porcelain sculpture in the history of Yunguo porcelain sculpture art..."

Li Xuan carefully appreciated the four items in front of him and commented.

"Yeah, are these all real?" Leng Shaohua said in agreement, but he was still a little worried. It was because of love that he was afraid they were fakes.

"These four items are all real." Li Xuan said affirmatively with a smile.

"Ah, it's good to be true! Alas, I'm just worried and confused. This has been authenticated by many experts, it shouldn't be fake." Leng Shaohua sighed.

"Well, it's not difficult to identify these things. This plum blossom cup is still found quite a lot. It has been found in Dehua's Qudou Palace, Zulong Palace, Houyao, Lingdou, Tongling, Xinyao, Yaolongshan and other Ming Dynasty kiln sites. Among them, the Zulong Palace kiln has the most found, and the sizes are different. Now I will introduce two types: one is that the diameter and bottom diameter are oval, with a diameter of 9.8 cm x 7.6 cm, a height of 6.8 cm, and a bottom diameter of 3.4 cm x 4.8 cm. The rim is flared. The outer surface of the cup is piled with plum blossom branches on one side, with three plum blossoms on the pile, and plum blossoms on the other side. There is a pistil and two leaves on the branch, and a plum tree trunk in the shape of a pen frame is attached to the bottom as a support for the cup; there is a gap between the foot frame and the bottom. The whole body is quite thick and ivory white in color, and the belly is thin enough to reflect the shadow of your fingers. The other style is the same as the previous one, but smaller, with a diameter of 7 cm x 4.8 cm, a height of 4.8 cm, and a bottom diameter of 2.8 cm x 3.5 cm. On one side of the belly wall, there are three plum blossoms on the branch, and on the other side, there is a pistil about to bloom and two leaves, and the glaze is shiny and moist..."

Li Xuan spoke calmly and confidently, giving the impression that he was giving instructions on how to deal with a country or writing inspiring words.

Leng Shaohua was once again shocked by Li Xuan's profound knowledge.

Then, speaking of Dehua porcelain, Li Xuan talked about the types of Dehua porcelain and some of its categories that exist in the world, which shocked Leng Shaohua again.

"... bowls include plain bowls, carved bowls, floating flower bowls, flat bowls, and small bowls with hidden flower cicada patterns; cups include plain cups, leaf-shaped cups, diamond leaf-shaped cups, octagonal drinking cups, small octagonal cups, hidden flower octagonal cups, piled flower octagonal cups, high-footed cups, nested cups, piled flower cups, carved small cups, printed jug cups, horseshoe cups, dragon and tiger cups, tree head cups, flower and bird cups, small lychee cups, plum blossom cups, plum blossom jug-shaped cups, octagonal cups with figures, and small hexagonal cups with square ears..."

“Shoushan Stone… Really.”

"Tianhuang raw stone... Really."

"Xu Beihong's hand-painted galloping horse paintings... fake."

"Zhenglong Yuanbao... fake."

"I got a one-dollar treasure... it's fake."

"Tianxi Tongbao... fake."

"Daguan Tongbao... fake." "Manchu Tianming... fake."

"The Imperial Song Yuanbao... is fake."

"Tian Zhuan Yuanbao...really."

"Huitong Tongbao... fake."

……

"The Twelve Zodiac Jade Rings... Really."

"A small Yongzheng blue-and-white jar with twined branches... Really."

"The Yongzheng Doucai water pot with baby playing patterns... is fake."

……

They were identified in one breath, especially the ancient coins. The only real ones were the gold ancient coin and a Tianjuan Yuanbao. The others were all fake.

While identifying this, Li Xuan noticed that the expression on Leng Shaohua's face was quite interesting. The muscles on his face were even as black as charcoal, and it was obvious that he was in pain.

Things like Yuanbao and Tongbao, although not very valuable, some of them are worth millions. It is said that there is no one who would not feel sad to spend a million dollars like water.

After all, it was a scam rather than actual spending.

"Okay, uncle, the identification is complete. The accuracy rate is, um, 100%! I'm sure of it." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"One hundred percent? Actually, I also believe that you are one hundred percent sure, because you can start from the origin of each thing and talk about the method of imitating it. If you enter the antique field, I am afraid you will become the leader in this field in a short time." Leng Shaohua sighed. He was so shocked that he was speechless.

"Dad, are you guys not done yet? It's time to eat."

"Okay, here I come." Leng Shaohua put notes on those that were identified as fakes. Since he knew that these things were fake, there was no point in collecting them here, so Leng Shaohua planned to store them all separately.

……

After finishing her meal with Leng Shaohua, Leng Hanyin went to talk to her mother. The servants were cleaning up the dishes, while Leng Shaohua pulled Li Xuan aside and started talking.

"Xiao Li, your surname is also Li. You have an old friend who is not very old, but he and his father both like antiques very much. Well, he also has a very remarkable daughter named Li Yingying. Have you heard of her? Would you like to meet her?" Leng Shaohua said with a smile.

In order to let Li Xuan go with him to show off, this man even forgot about Leng Hanyin.

"Dad, what did you say!"

Sure enough, Leng Hanyin on the second floor suddenly got angry.

"Ah, no, no, nothing. I was talking to Xiao Li about the appreciation level of that bearded uncle Li Si."

"Hmph, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't forgive you." Leng Hanyin said in a bad tone.

Leng Shaohua smiled somewhat embarrassedly and stopped talking about this topic.

"Li Yingying? What a familiar name. I might get some unexpected rewards if I meet her some time." Li Xuan thought to himself.

After talking to Leng Shaohua for a while, Li Xuan explained to Leng Shaohua about Xu Qing's car accident, and then left. Originally, he planned to let Leng Hanyin stay at home with Leng Shaohua, but the girl was too old to be kept, so she chose to continue to follow Li Xuan and leave Leng Shaohua aside...

In the Lamborghini, Li Xuan looked out the window and lit a cigarette without any hesitation.

The cigarettes were from Leng Hanyin's home, but neither side cared about it. After all, it was just a small matter.

This red Lamborghini worth more than three million also made Li Xuan feel familiar. In his memory, a beautiful woman seemed to drive a car like this and appeared beside him many times.

But such memories are always vague.

Although he would occasionally recall many fragments, until now, including his own name, they were still vague, as strange and frustrating as if they were sealed.

Leng Hanyin was driving seriously, but beads of sweat were still oozing out on the tip of her fair nose.

"I haven't driven this car for nearly two years, but the limited edition at that time is still not outdated." Leng Hanyin said with a smile.

Li Xuan did not answer, but carefully felt the faint beating feeling between his eyebrows. When the Qiankun Coin disappeared from his hand, he could still take it out at that time, but now, he could no longer take it out. From the moment his body moved out of the door, he felt a kind of cool mixed with burning energy flowing from his eyebrows to every part of his body.

"I shouldn't have a headache today." An inexplicable thought lingered in his mind. Li Xuan looked at the bustling city, the car driven by the woman next to him, and the not-so-good conditions of the community where Li Yue'e lived in the distance. He suddenly had the idea of ​​making money.
