While Li Zhuo was still thinking about this arm rest, Zheng Heng sent another voice message:

"Brother, can you video chat with me? I'll look at things from the video."

Li Zhuo also sent a voice reply:

"Convenient, available at any time."

After receiving the voice message, Zheng Heng quickly sent a video call, and Li Zhuo pressed agree.

First they greeted each other face to face——

"Hello, Brother Zheng. I trouble you every time. When I get to the Magic City, I will treat you to a meal."

Zheng Heng shook his head and said:

"It's nothing troublesome. This is related to my business. I have made money after selling the things I bought from you. As for eating, if you come to the Magic City, I will definitely treat you."<

/p>

……

The two briefly exchanged a few words, and then Zheng Heng said:

"Please, brother, put that arm under the camera and show me."

Li Zhuo put his arm on the table and pointed the phone lens at it.

Zheng Heng looked at it carefully and asked Li Zhuo to flip it over and look at the back and sides.

After four or five minutes, Zheng Heng said:

"The inscription is still a bit unclear, but I just looked carefully at the style and characteristics of the carvings, and I probably made a judgment. If you go to the balcony, there is plenty of natural light, so you can see it more clearly."

Li Zhuo took it to the balcony, Zheng Heng carefully identified it again, and finally said:

"I can roughly tell that the first word in the signature is the word "Shi". I think it should be a work by Feng Shiji, a famous bamboo carving family, and it may be a work by Feng Shihao."

Li Zhuo:????

So, who is Feng Shihao?

He touched his nose and wanted to ask Du Niang, but it was inconvenient to use his mobile phone now.

Fortunately, Zheng Heng continued:

"The art of bamboo carving developed greatly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, there was a Feng family in Jiading. It has been passed down for a long time, and almost every generation has a bamboo carver with outstanding skills.

During the Kangxi period, three Feng brothers appeared in this family, Feng Xijue, Feng Xilu, and Feng Xizhang. They were famous for their superb carving skills."

"Among them, the youngest son of Feng Xilu, the second oldest, is Feng Shihao, and he is also very famous."

"Based on Feng Shihao's reputation, this small bamboo carving must be very valuable and should be sold for a relatively high price."

Li Zhuo asked:

"Brother Zheng, are you sure?"

Zheng Heng scratched his bald head and explained awkwardly:

"Brother, it's like this. I know a little about armrests, but I can't say I'm an expert. You'd better ask someone else. If you're sure, you can ask me to take action..."

Obviously he was a little unsure and didn't even say how much it would cost.

……

After hanging up the video, Li Zhuo then sent a WeChat message to teacher Jin Zixu.

After waiting for a while, Teacher Jin replied with a message:

"It turns out to be an armrest. This is a good thing. Then, you come to see me and meet me at the teahouse where we met before."

Apparently, Teacher Jin is quite interested in the arm rest.

Li Zhuo replied:

"Okay, I'll leave now."

He stood up and put his arm rest into his backpack, then went downstairs and took a car to Yuhang Cangqian Street.

When Li Zhuo arrived at the teahouse, Teacher Jin Zixu was already sitting inside.

He was a little impatient and started looking at the items without saying a few words.

Li Zhuo gave him the arm rest and said:

"I asked someone to look at it and they said it might be Feng Shihao's work."

Teacher Jin said "hmm" while looking at it.

He only took a few glances, and after a little recognition of the signature that had been worn out, he said with certainty:

"I don't know which expert you are looking for. I respect him enough, but I have a different view. This thing is a treasure. It does come from the Feng family in Jiading, but it was not created by Feng Shihao, the third child, but by Feng Shihao.

It is the work of his elder brother Feng Shibin."

This...

Another person I’ve never heard of.

Li Zhuo stopped worrying and asked directly:

"Teacher Jin, please tell me."

"To put it simply, during the Qing Dynasty, Jiading's Feng family's bamboo carving skills were outstanding. Commentators at the time considered "Feng Qi" to mean that their carvings were unexpected and novel."

"The generation of brothers Feng Shibin and Feng Shihao is characterized by their exquisite carving skills, but compared to their parents, they are more conservative than their parents. In other words, they are still behind their parents."

Li Zhuo nodded to express his understanding.

"Then how to distinguish the works of Feng Shibin and Feng Shihao?" Li Zhuo thinks this is the key.

Teacher Jin explained:

"One of the key points that distinguishes them is that Feng Shihao is better at sculpting figures, while his sculpting of scenery is a little dull and old-fashioned.

Feng Shibin is good at multi-layered deep-knife relief carving, incorporating some intaglio techniques.

This armrest of yours is obviously carved using the deep-knife relief method, and the tension is very high..."

Although Li Zhuo doesn't know the skill, he can tell that Teacher Jin's level is obviously higher, and his evaluations of everyone are based on technical skills.

He also somewhat recognized that this thing was the work of Feng Shibin.

At this time, Li Zhuo asked the question he was most concerned about——

"Teacher Jin, how much is this work worth?"

Jin Zixu smiled and said:

"This is the work of Feng Shibin. He is less famous than his younger brother Feng Shihao. Although they actually have their own strengths in terms of skills, there is still some gap in price."

"But it is very exquisite, definitely a high-quality product, and the price should be around 300,000," Teacher Jin said succinctly. "If it belongs to Feng Shihao, it can go up to more than 100,000."

Li Zhuo's heart bleeds after hearing this.

Just one word short of finding out hundreds of thousands.

Is there any natural reason?!

Jin Zixu couldn't put it down because of this armrest, and then said:

"The normal price of this armrest is 300,000, but if you meet someone who likes it, the price can go up. For example, if I buy it for collection, I can pay 350,000."

Li Zhuo did not immediately comment.

He thought it would be better to find someone else to take a look.

In the afternoon, Li Zhuo drove to the Art Appraisal and Evaluation Center on Gushan Road in Xihu District. After the experts looked at it, they came to the same conclusion as Jin Zixu said.

In the evening, Li Zhuo went to the teahouse again and sold the arm rest to Jin Zixu.

Successfully credited 350,000 yuan.

……

After seeing off Teacher Jin, Li Zhuo did not leave the teahouse, but sat and waited for the prompt message to arrive.

Soon, a piece of information was captured in his sea of ​​consciousness——

"The host has fulfilled the wish of the old cherry tree in Majian Town, Lanxi City, and received a wealth return of 350,000 yuan. This incense burner will be evaluated based on the completion of the host's wish. The evaluation is in progress..., completed.

"In order to give back and motivate the host, this incense burner will activate the wealth multiplier cashback function. This time the host received an income of 350,000 yuan. Based on the current level of this incense burner, which is level 8, and the comments on the completion of this wish, the multiplier return is

"Since this cash rebate exceeds 2 million, this incense burner will return cash this time in the form of stock sales settlement. Please sell the purchased stocks tomorrow. The incense burner has the ability to shield the secrets of heaven. This time the funds are remitted

Compliant and legal.”

"The settlement is completed, the wishing incense burner has absorbed the wishing power of the cherry tree, its strength has been improved, and its level has been upgraded to level 9."

"After the cashback ends, the host will be able to use this item again."
