Fang Feiyang and Chen Jian came to the car with four antique treasures.

The two porcelain pots and unknown weapons that needed descaling and cleaning were first placed under the rear seats.

Chen Jian holds in his arms a copy of the Xuande stove from the Qing Dynasty and a set of purple-glazed cups and cups from the Song Dynasty.

Fang Feiyang started the black Santana, put it in gear, and was about to send Chen Jian back to the Confucian Temple Antique Market first. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he took out 2000 yuan from his wallet and handed it to Chen Jian.

"This is two thousand, it's for you, take it,"

Chen Jian was taken aback when he heard the words. He obviously didn't expect Fang Feiyang to give him money, so he turned his head and asked, "Boss, this is,...won't you pay my salary so early?"

Fang Feiyang smiled slightly and said, "You boy, why are you pretending in front of me... You know, this is the industry rule, and you deserve the [-]% commission,"

Fang Feiyang said that the rules of the antique industry refer to "stretching commission", which means that if the transaction between the buyer and the buyer is successful through the introduction of the middleman, then the middleman will charge a certain percentage of commission, usually [-]% of the seller and [-]% of the buyer. of two.

This rule is commonly known as "make three break two".

In fact, when Fang Feiyang handed over 2000 yuan to Chen Jian, Chen Jian guessed what was going on when he heard the amount of money, but the other party was Chen Jian's boss, so of course this kid didn't dare to "smile and accept" directly. And strictly speaking, Fang Feiyang and Chen Jian are already considered employers. In this case, Chen Jian, the middleman who brokers the business, should be regarded as his job.

However, Fang Feiyang didn't think so. This time, he gained a lot from Chen Jian's introduction, and this trip was worthwhile.

Now according to the rules, it is also appropriate to give this shop assistant a commission.

"Then thank you boss,"

Seeing that Boss Fang insisted on giving him the money, Chen Jian accepted it with great joy. The 2000 yuan was nothing to Fang Feiyang, but it was also a lot of money for him.

Fang Feiyang drove his Santana to the big archway of the Confucian Temple Antique Market. He didn't plan to go to the shop himself, so he told Chen Jian to return the two treasures to shopkeeper Yao first, while he himself It's time to go back and deal with the Xiaoshuicheng porcelain jar and another bronze weapon.

After Chen Jian got off the car, Fang Feiyang immediately turned the front car and drove towards Master Song Longshan's villa.

Fang Feiyang thought he was still capable of decontaminating and cleaning it to restore its original appearance, but he was not so confident about that unknown weapon that looked like a spear but was not a spear. Yes, after all, Fang Feiyang has only been in the industry for half a year and has no experience in handling bronze wares.

At this time, I can only ask the master for help.

At this point in time, Mr. Song usually plays with his flowers and plants in the courtyard of the villa, pruning and watering the potted plants, enjoying himself in a carefree manner.

Sure enough, when Boss Fang appeared at the entrance of the villa with the two treasures in his arms, the old man was squatting in the southwest corner of the yard to move the potted plants to receive the light.

"Feiyang, here we come, come in quickly,"

The old man didn't raise his head, and a hearty voice came from the yard.

Fang Feiyang walked up to Song Longshan in three steps at a time, and said, "Master, I just got an old product with a wide open door. It feels old enough. Please keep your eyes open."

In front of the old man, Fang Feiyang said respectfully, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Oh,...well, take it to the study first, and I'll come up after I wash my hands,"

"Well, okay,"

Fang Feiyang trotted with the porcelain pot and "weapon" in his arms, and went straight up to the second floor.

The first dirty blue and white small water project, put it aside for the time being, it will be a matter of time to remove the dirt on this thing, don't be in a hurry, the key is to cut off the source of another bronze ware for the old man.

Is the king in black riding red armor seen in the video screen a famous figure in history, and what does this strange weapon have to do with him.

Fang Feiyang believes that with such profound historical knowledge and profound experience in antiques as his master, he will definitely be able to answer him.

After a while, Song Longshan also came to the study.

At this time, Fang Feiyang had already spread out the two newspapers that wrapped it, and the "weapon" about 30 cm long was lying quietly on the old man's desk with a thick patina.

"What, let me see... well, this is called 'beryllium', produced in the late Spring and Autumn Period, a stabbing weapon used in war, the body of the weapon is similar to the body of a sword but slightly shorter, with a ridge on the middle line, and a blood groove on the ridge , functioning like a spear hundreds of years later,"

Song Longshan deserves to be the chairman of the Collectors Association for two consecutive terms, a great scholar in the field of antiques, even knows such unpopular knowledge.

With a smile on his face, the old man gently flipped the "beryllium" in his hand, explaining it to his apprentice, and asking how Fang Feiyang got it.

Fang Feiyang briefly talked about the process of "shopping" at Hua Dehai's house.

"50 yuan,... Hehe, you picked up another leak, no matter whether this bronze weapon is a famous historical weapon or not, because of its rarity, it has been preserved for thousands of years, and it is definitely more than this price. "

Song Longshan said cheerfully.

"Master, is there a way to remove the copper rust on this weapon?"

Fang Feiyang asked expectantly.

"I have an ancient recipe here. I learned it from an old friend in the archaeological field... Use 160 grams of fine wood chips, 60 grams of talcum powder, 240 grams of wheat bran, add 50 ml of vinegar, and mix it into a paste , painted on the rusty copperware, after air drying, the copper rust will be taken off naturally,"

When Fang Feiyang heard it, his mind was full of black lines, where would he go to find wood chips, talcum powder, and wheat bran at this moment.

"Uh...this...Master, is there any other way to remove the patina?"

Fang Feiyang scratched his head and asked in embarrassment.

Song Longshan saw that the apprentice was impatient, thought for a moment, and then said: "Well, go to the bathroom and get a piece of toothpaste."

"toothpaste,"

"Hehe, don't underestimate the toothpaste, it contains a lot of abrasive silicon, which can grind off the oxide layer on the surface of copperware, and it can also achieve good results,"

Song Longshan nodded slightly, and popularized the relevant knowledge to his precious apprentice.

This method is simple and easy to operate, and the key is that its materials are simple and can be obtained locally.

Fang Feiyang found a piece of toothpaste and a piece of thick-fiber white gauze. According to the old man's request, he pressed the white gauze covered with toothpaste tightly, and polished the patina on the surface of the weapon vertically.

About half an hour later, the white gauze was replaced by two pairs, and a layer of thick copper rust was polished off.

Fang Feiyang wrapped the weapon called "beryllium" with a clean towel and wiped it vigorously. At this moment, 80.00% of the original shape of the thing has been revealed.

The blood grooves on both sides of the blade are about 3 mm deep. The rear ends of the blood grooves are each cast with a beast head. The pasterns are hollow. The first Chinese character "米" is well-cast and elegantly patterned.

Its front part is in the shape of a curved triangle, narrow at the front and wide at the back, and the middle ridge is formed into a three-dimensional triangular prism, which is extremely aggressive.

Under the sunlight outside the window, the lines of the whole weapon are smooth and smooth, most of the green patina has been removed, and now the body is light yellow.

"Master, there seem to be engravings here...Look at it."

Fang Feiyang handed the cleaned body to Song Longshan. These words existed before. At that time, due to the thick copper rust, the strokes could hardly be seen clearly. Now, after grinding, the handwriting is clearly legible.

"Wu...Wu King Fucha...self-acting..."

Song Longshan recognized the words word by word, read out each word, and was immediately taken aback.

This bronze spear-shaped weapon turned out to be the royal weapon of King Wu of Wu State in the late Spring and Autumn Period. The gold inscriptions with seven typos on this weapon gleamed in the sun, as if proudly declaring its aristocratic and royal status.
