Jianbao life

Chapter 856

After getting along for this period of time, the fifth child also knows that if he helps Chu Chen buy this Yuan blue and white piece, Chu Chen will not treat him badly at that time. Although the reward he gets is not as much as his own purchase, it should not be much worse. .

In addition, today Chu Chen fulfilled the promise he had promised him at the beginning, and planned to move his household registration to the capital.At this time, how could he have the nerve to swallow that Yuan blue and white piece?
Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping somewhat knew what the fifth child was thinking, but the fifth child did not sell himself to Chu Chen, not to mention that he didn't buy things by himself, even if he did, Chu Chen didn't think it was a big deal wrong.

Of course, even if they knew what the fifth child was thinking, they would tacitly not say it out. After all, there are some things that everyone knows in their stomachs. Speaking out will easily cause misunderstandings and cause estrangement.

Now that he knew that something might be genuine, how could Chu Chen not pay attention to it?He quickly asked: "Fifth brother, where is the thing now? It won't be caught by others first, right?"

"It's definitely not!" Lao Wu waved his hand: "I just saw the thing yesterday afternoon, and I paid some deposit to the owner, telling him not to let others see it for the next two days. Now as long as my friend raises When the funds arrive, I can..."

Before Lao Wu could reply, Zhou Wenping next to him interrupted: "Wait, your friend raised funds? What's going on here?"

"Oh! I didn't explain it clearly!"

Lao Wu explained with a smile: "This piece of Yuan blue and white is going to be sold. My friend actually got the news, but he usually plays with jade wares, and he doesn't have enough money now, so he pulled me over to help him hold his eyes. If something is right, then partner to buy it.”

In the antique world, it is very normal to buy things together. Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping didn't think there was anything wrong after hearing this.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Fifth brother, it seems that your friend and you have a good relationship, and even such a profitable business is thinking of you."

"That's true!" Lao Wu laughed and scratched his head: "Although Lao Ren and I have only known each other for half a year, we talked very well. Maybe we were bosom friends in the previous life."

Hearing this, Chu Chen showed a look of surprise on his face, and he quickly asked: "Old Wu, you said your friend's surname is Ren? Does he look gentle and bookish?"

The fifth child nodded and said, "That's right! People still call him a teacher! Why, you know him too?"

Chu Chen shook his head: "No, I just heard about this person, and I don't want to know him!"

"What's wrong?" Lao Wu and Zhou Wenping were surprised when they heard what Chu Chen said. Could there be something wrong with this person?
Chu Chen said: "Fifth brother, you might not believe it when you tell me, your friend is probably a liar!"

"Ah! How is this possible!" Lao Wu's face looked very shocked, which is normal. Whoever heard that his good friend is a liar must have the same expression as Lao Wu at this time.

"I also hope they are not alone..." At this point, Chu Chen briefly recounted what happened to Zhuang Shengjing and Du Yile: "It's okay if the teacher they said is not your friend, But if it's the same person, you have to be careful, even this time it might be a scam!"

After listening to Chu Chen's narration, even if the fifth child didn't believe it, he knew that his friend was probably the teacher Ren that Zhuang Shengjing and Du Yile were talking about, which made him feel unacceptable for a while.

Zhou Wenping patted Lao Wu on the shoulder, comforted Lao Wu a few words, and then asked, "Old Wu, how much is that Yuan blue and white piece?"

After all, he used to be a peddler at a stall, and he had seen a lot of scams in antique shops, but this time he met him, which made him unable to accept it for a while, but he quickly adjusted his mood and replied: " I valued that thing at about 300 million, and we paid 60 at the time, but he had no money, so he only wanted 20."

If he didn't feel that he was cheated before, he still thought that his friend was just trying to benefit him because he had no money, but now that he knew that his friend was probably a liar, thinking about it again, he felt that it was clearly a mistake for his friend to do this. Dig a hole for him to jump in, otherwise if it were him, 60 yuan would turn into more than 300 million yuan in a blink of an eye. Such a good thing, even if he borrowed money, he would buy it.

Of course, Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping also noticed the tricks, but they didn't see the real thing, so they didn't know whether it was real or not, but judging from the current situation, it was more likely to be fake.

So, Chu Chen asked: "Fifth Brother, can you describe to me the specific characteristics of that Yuan blue and white pot?"

"Row!"

Lao Wu nodded: "That jar has a straight mouth, a bulging belly, and a ring foot. The shape is solid and heavy, the tire is fine, and the glaze is warm. The body is composed of five layers of ring patterns, with chrysanthemum patterns painted on the shoulders and chrysanthemum patterns on the feet. The upside-down lotus pattern and the peony pattern on the abdomen are separated by a narrow curly grass pattern, and the petals and leaves of the flowers are engraved. The overall layout is sparse and grand, dense and dense, which is very in line with the blue and white painters of the Yuan Dynasty..."

Lao Wu introduced the Yuan blue and white piece in detail according to his memory, but when he was describing the yellow coat at the mouth of the jar and the flint red at the bottom, Chu Chen suddenly interrupted him and asked, "Five Brother, according to your description, do you feel that flint red hair has a relatively short distance and no momentum?"

Lao Wu recalled it carefully for a moment, and said, "It really seems to be the case when you say it this way. Is this Flint Red wrong?"

Chu Chen replied: "Yes, if it's what you said, I suspect that this Flint Red is made in modern times."

"No way, Flint Red can be made so realistic now?" Lao Wu and Zhou Wenping both found it incredible.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "The technology is so advanced now, especially the research on Flint Red is getting more and more in-depth. There are also various ways to make Flint Red, and some of them can be imitated."

"For example, counterfeiters buy antique white porcelain bodies, because some antique white porcelain bodies are not fired to make fake flint red. After imitating five-color and pastel porcelain on the glaze, they are painted with porcelain pigment Fanhong on the joints of the body glaze. Last lap, and then use a fine sponge to pat it into a transitional layer, and after roasting in a red oven, its imitation Flint Red has an ideal phenomenon of dissolution.”

"However, although the flint red made by this method is more realistic, the color is still different from the real one, and the more advanced method of counterfeiting is the one you saw five brothers, but the flint red made by this method , the cost is quite high, and it is generally only used for firing high-grade antique porcelain."

"How to say?" Lao Wu asked hastily.

Chu Chen explained: "Because to make this kind of flint red, you have to go to a certain place to buy porcelain clay at a high cost. When it comes out of the kiln, you can really get real flint red."

"However, the disadvantage is that the hair color distance is short and has no momentum. It can only be similar to the old first-line red. Even so, it is already able to confuse people's eyes. Even some experts may not be able to see it. But, outsourcing Porcelain clay increases the cost, so this method is generally used to make high-grade antique porcelain.”

The old red line phenomenon is caused by the fact that the moisture inside the tire is basically dry. During the heating process in the kiln, due to the lack of sufficient water vapor to evaporate, the iron molecules only overflow slowly. It looks very similar to flint red.

After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Lao Wu and Zhou Wenping both shook their heads and smiled wryly. The counterfeiting methods in the antique world are endless. Maybe someday someone will research the formula of hemp warehouse soil. By that time, if even Su Ma leaves The formula of the green material has also been researched, and it is estimated that even experts cannot tell the difference between the fired Yuan and Ming porcelains.

Of course, if that time really comes, the price of porcelain from Yuan and Ming Dynasties will probably be seriously affected, just like the many troubles that Zhang Huohong's fakes have brought to the antique world.

At this time, Zhou Wenping asked, "Boss, is there no other way besides the short hair color distance and lack of momentum?"

The reason why he asks this is because he feels that these two points are a bit abstract, and he may not be able to see it. As the shopkeeper of the antique shop, he can now gain some new experience all the time, otherwise he will hit his eyes one day. Not to mention being laughed at, and the antique shop may suffer losses. This is not the situation he wants.

Chu Chen said: "There are indeed other ways. To identify this kind of imitation flint red, the main thing is to carefully observe the color of the body, because the mineral components contained in the porcelain clay in different places are quite different. The color is also different. Especially the porcelain of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the difference is quite large.”

Hearing this, Zhou Wenping nodded again and again, while the fifth child became thoughtful. After a while, he slapped his thigh vigorously and said, "That's right! I said that the color of the fetus always looks specious. It turns out that it is Such a thing! However, even if it is a fake, the production level of that Yuan blue and white piece is very high, if you do not have the level of your boss, it may be difficult to see."

Chu Chen smiled, and when he was about to speak, Lao Wu's mobile phone rang suddenly. He took out the mobile phone and looked at it, his expression changed immediately.

Seeing this, Chu Chen asked, "Why, is it your friend named Ren?"

"Yes!" At this moment, Lao Wu's face was not very good, he nodded, and was about to hang up the phone.

"Don't hang up!" Chu Chen quickly stopped and said, "You should first listen to what he means, and you'd better agree to his request first."

The fifth child immediately understood what Chu Chen meant, and then connected the phone.

"Old Ren, can we go now!" When Lao Wu spoke, his tone was a little excited on purpose.

"Uh... this... old five! I'm really sorry! I borrowed it from all my relatives and friends, and I made up 15 yuan. Look..." There was a hesitant voice coming from the phone. sound.
