A group of small bosses had seen it and figured out what this batch of goods was and where it came from. Although they all still had questions and things to say, they didn’t know how to speak. They also saw that Xue Chen and Wang

Dong seemed to have to deal with these dozens of antiques and it was not convenient to stay here any longer, so they all left and walked out of the Zhuoyue Antique Store together.

After just a few steps out of the antique shop, several people seemed to have a tacit understanding and stood there in unison. They looked at each other and saw that each other's faces were filled with wonder and contemplation just like their own.

Zhao Tian of Fuyuan Tea House smacked his lips: "I really didn't expect that this Xue Chen is getting more and more capable. I can't believe what he said. He actually won it from the prince of Sharjah."

There are so many treasures, you think he must be telling the truth, right?"

"I don't think it's fake. Hey, Wang Dong is really lucky. He has such a good friend. It's hard not to be prosperous." Liu Feng, the owner of the hardware store, shook his head, as if he was envious.

Wang Dong's good luck.

Everyone expressed their admiration for what they had just seen and heard, and each of them couldn't help but have a roughly the same thought in their hearts. This Xue Chen is really getting more and more amazing, and he actually has some hidden secrets.

I need to look up and move around more when I have the opportunity.

In the Zhuoyue store, after sending away a bunch of old neighbors from the same street, Xue Chen and Wang Dong also got busy, that is, appraising, registering, and numbering all the antiques.

"Dongzi, it's just right. This is a good opportunity to practice your eyesight. I'll write it and you'll appraise it." Xue Chen found a notebook and a pen from the drawer and sat on the chair.

Said something to Wang Dong.

Wang Dong scratched his head and said a little weakly: "What to do?"

"Simple, open a box, identify the specific age, what the object is, and the approximate market price. I can record it. I can't keep it piled here in a mess. I can sort it into categories for easy organization." Xue Chen said with a smile.

"Then let me try? But if I make a mistake, don't laugh at me." Wang Dong muttered, it seemed like he was being tested by the teacher when he was in school, which made him a little nervous.

When he walked forward, he rolled his eyes, paid attention, and opened a black suitcase in front of him. The object he took out was none other than the flat pot that Xue Chen had just taken out to look at. He coughed.

With a sound, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "This is a white-glazed flat pot painted with lotus from Cizhou kiln in Jiaqing Dynasty in Qing Dynasty. It has no obvious flaws, complete appearance and exquisite style. It is undoubtedly authentic. The market price... one hundred and ten

Ten thousand."

Xue Chen, who was sitting on the side, also took a pen and wrote down the details: No. 001, a white-glazed flat kettle painted with lotus from Cizhou Kiln in Jiaqing, Qing Dynasty, with a market price of 1.1 million. After recording it, he threw it to Wang Dongyi

A pen.

"See the blank label on the corner of the box? Write the number on it, starting with this one."

"Hey, no problem." Wang Dong carefully wrote the number on the blank label in the corner of the box.

"Continue." Xue Chen urged.

I had seen the item just now and knew it well, but the following items were all new. Wang Dong moved the box containing the flat pot aside, opened another box underneath, and opened the box from the inside.

He took out something, a brown-red wooden carving Ruyi.

He held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then thought about it again, and he had an idea in his mind. Wang Dong then spoke: "The late Qing Dynasty carved wood body lacquer Ruyi, well, it is carved from a whole piece of boxwood. As for what was used?

I can't tell the carving technique, but there are three Ganoderma lucidums of different sizes carved on the Ruyi, arranged in sequence to form the Ruyi head, Ruyi handle and main trunk. This should mean that the Ruyi is as satisfying as one wishes."

Then, a market valuation was given, 900,000.

Xue Chen also glanced at the wooden carving Ruyi: "The carving is very exquisite, and the person who made it must not be an unknown person, but I don't know much about the wood carving masters in the late Qing Dynasty. Looking back, I found out...

Whose style is making a specific appraisal report, the value will definitely be higher than 900,000, the origin of antiques is really important."

What he said is common sense. For example, a painting without a name or seal may not be sold for 100,000 yuan, but if several experts with both virtues and talents prove that the painting is by a well-known painter,

The value of this painting will skyrocket immediately, and it is not impossible to increase it ten times.

The same principle applies to the success of this wooden carving. If you determine the age, identify the wood carving master's work, and then find an old gentleman like Chen Suyuan to sign and certify it, the price will be at least a few cents more.

Come one hundred thousand!

Wang Dong put the wooden tire Ruyi back into the black suitcase, and Xue Chen also recorded it clearly in his notebook.

"Yeah, it's another wood carving, what a coincidence."

Wang Dong opened the third box. Just like before, it was also a wood carving work, and this one was obviously more precious than the last Ruyi.

"It's made of agarwood!" Wang Dong's eyes lit up when he saw the material of the wood, and he blurted out.

Xue Chen was also admiring the Guanyin statue carved from agarwood from a few steps away.

This wooden sculpture of Guanyin is about 23 centimeters high, and the first impression you get is that it is round. Guanyin has her hair tied up in a high bun with a willow-shaped hairpin, her eyes are looking down, and she looks kind and compassionate to the world. She has a strong nose, a slightly small mouth, and a body

Wearing a robe, a skirt, and a necklace on her chest, she holds a water purification bottle in her left hand, and her right hand hangs down naturally, standing elegantly on the lotus throne.

From some details of Guanyin's clothing and posture, it can be concluded that it is from the Ming Dynasty. It is difficult to say which emperor's period it is from. This thing does not look like porcelain, and there is no money on the base. At most, it can be seen that it is from the Ming Dynasty.

Early.

Wang Dong also made a brief appreciation of it and gave an estimate: "About 1.8 million."

"It's low. If you take it out, if you sell it for 2 million, it will be the price of acquaintances and friends. The normal market price is 2.2 million. In the market, I have never seen anything better than this wood carving of Guanyin."

It needs to be even better." Xue Chen said.

"This..." Wang Dong scratched his head and smiled bitterly, "Actually, I also wanted to say 210,000 to 200,000, but, I lowered the price for a reason. You did it all at once.

There are so many, it makes me a little doubtful about life. Is it because all the antiques are now on the street and have become cabbage, so the prices have been lowered involuntarily."

If it is just such a piece of Guanyin made of agarwood, if you hold it in your hand, you will appreciate it carefully and naturally give a high price. After all, it is a good thing. However, once things become common, they will become worthless.

feeling.

"Okay, let's do the next thing." Xue Chen laughed.

When he opened the fourth black suitcase and took out the items inside, Wang Dong's breathing became rapid: "Blue and white porcelain!"

Xue Chen glanced at it and saw that it was indeed a piece of blue and white porcelain, a brush washer from the stationery supplies. It was not big, only a palm high, and had some exquisite patterns painted on it.

Wang Dong carefully held it in his hands and looked at it again and again with bright eyes. After he thought it through, he said: "It must be true. Well, look at the bottom price. It is a folk kiln from Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. There are three people painted on it.

The old man was watching two flying white cranes under the pine tree. Oh, it's so beautiful..."

Two people, one speaks and the other records.

Occasionally, when Wang Dong made a mistake or had flaws in what he said, Xue Chen would help correct it. Even if he didn't rely on the ability of Jade Eyes, his eyesight would still be much better than Wang Dong's. It's not that Wang Dong was inferior. Although Wang Dong usually

He is a little lazy, but he is still very serious about antique appraisal. His level is probably comparable to that of Huang Pinqing, who is currently working at the Yang'an branch, and he has passed the test.

It took three hours, and by the time it was time to have dinner, only sixteen of them had been identified and recorded, which was almost a quarter of the number.

Wang Dong was so thirsty that he drank two pots of tea by himself.

"Oh, it won't work, it won't work, I'm already dizzy." Wang Dong sat down on the floor, breathing heavily, "I didn't expect that doing appraisals is such a tiring job. I used to see a

Two, it feels like nothing, but if you identify more than a dozen at once, your head feels confused."

Xue Chen also put down the notebook and pen in his hand, picked up a fist-sized white jade unicorn on the table nearby, and raised his eyebrows. Before he even opened the box for identification, he concluded that there must be fakes among them.

, the words came true. Among the sixteen items that were appraised, there was indeed a problem, that is, the human white jade unicorn statue in his hand.

At first glance, the color of this white jade carving is very white, and the quality of the jade seems to be good. But when you rub it in your hands, you can feel the problem. There is something wrong with the feel. It lacks a bit of the smoothness that white jade should have, but it is a little more smooth.

It feels like your hands are stuck, but if you look at it with a magnifying glass, you can clearly see problems that are hard to see.

This is a B-quality Hetian jade made of Russian material. The quality of this Hetian jade itself should be very average, and its value is not high, not more than 3,000 yuan. However, it has been cleaned with acid to remove many impurities on the surface.

, making the white jade look flawless.

However, doing so will make the surface of the jade become pitted and uneven, and it can only be filled and smoothed with colloid. This is also the reason why the hand feel is very poor and not so smooth.

Type A and Type B are like two equally young and beautiful girls. One is natural and the other was made after 9981 surgeries on the operating table. The two look similar.

But the gap is still huge, and the value is also vastly different.
