Excellent eye

Chapter 72 Appetizers before the auction
Zeng Xiaoxiao's charming eyes slowly swept from one side of the hall to the other. When she noticed Ye Feng on the table and chair behind, she couldn't help but froze for a moment, but the woman recovered quickly. He continued to turn his gaze away calmly.

Zeng Xiaoxiao was very curious. She didn't understand how Ye Feng and Du Yu and Young Master Du got together. Isn't this kid an appraiser of Tianyunxuan?Could it be that besides the identity of this layer of appraiser, Ye Feng has another layer of identity?
"Everyone, now, let me show you something first." Zeng Xiaoxiao said, motioning to the staff at the side to open one of the wooden boxes, and then took out a small wooden box from inside.

Open the small wooden box, inside is a pair of glass bottles of mandarin ducks playing in the Qing Dynasty. The height of the bottles is about [-] centimeters, and the largest diameter is about [-] centimeters. The industry also looks very good, it should be a real thing.

When Ye Feng looked at the pair of Qing Dynasty mandarin ducks playing with water glass bottles, he unconsciously activated the perspective ability of his eyes, and soon he discovered the problem. From the looks of it, the painting and firing techniques are good, but under the perspective ability of the eyes, many problems are immediately exposed.

There are many problems in the seemingly fine carving on the surface. In many places, obvious disconnection points and traces of decoration can be seen, as well as the firing process. The molecular structure inside the porcelain is very fluffy, which should be modern developed The result of industrial firing, after all, before, the temperature of the kiln when firing porcelain was far from the current level, so the fired porcelain has a denser molecular structure and is not as fluffy as it is now.

"You are all experts, so you should be able to tell when this pair of porcelain was made, right?" Zeng Xiaoxiao smiled like a professional smile, and the woman continued with a smile.

Everyone nodded and said one after another: "Well, it can be seen that the characteristics of the Qing Dynasty mandarin ducks playing in the glass bottle are obvious."

"The painting is good, and the firing process looks very delicate. It should be the real thing."

"Miss Zeng, this pair of clear glass vases with mandarin ducks playing in water will not be the first item to be auctioned today, right?" Suddenly someone asked, "What's the reserve price? This item looks good, I want it."

"Tch, you said you want it, and the shooting hasn't started yet. If you want it, you have to pay a starting price." Another person said, and it seemed that he was not quite right with the person in front.

"Er Huzi, don't make trouble for me?" The man before said with an ugly face.

"Zhang Dacheng, whoever made a fuss, it's a generally accepted rule that the one with the highest price wins the items at the auction." The middle-aged man known as Erhuzi said without giving in.

Ye Feng looked at the two people who were arguing with great interest, and asked after a while, "Brother Du, do these two have any problems?"

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that there must be something wrong between these two people.

"Well, this Erhu son is called Ma Erhu is a coal boss, and Zhang Dacheng is also a coal boss. Shanxi is an important coal production area in our country. In order to compete for the coal mining rights there, the two have often fought openly and secretly." Du Yu explained.

"No wonder!" Ye Feng listened, and finally understood.

"..." When the two were still arguing, Zeng Xiaoxiao interrupted their conversation: "Boss Zhang, Boss Feng, please don't argue, this item is actually not today's auction item. Boss Peng on the [-]st has collected something, and I brought it here today, just to give everyone a prelude."

All the people present were stunned, and the items collected by Boss Peng of the Royal No. [-] were used as an opening remark...

What's the meaning?Everyone is a little unclear.

Bang..., boom...

Just when everyone was puzzled, Zeng Xiaoxiao made an astonishing movement, lifting up a pair of Qing Dynasty mandarin ducks playing with glass bottles in front of him with one hand, and then let go at the same time, a pair of Qing Dynasty mandarin ducks playing with each other Under everyone's attention, the glass water bottle fell freely.

When the bottle fell to the ground, it was smashed into pieces. The loud sound was like a sharp knife, which ruthlessly stimulated the hearts of everyone present, and they all looked at Zeng Xiaoxiao for no reason.

Ye Feng was also stunned, how could this be sung...

"Huh..." Zeng Xiaoxiao exhaled slowly, his chest trembling slightly: "Everyone, the thing just now is actually a fake, Boss Peng just brought it to let everyone hear it, sober up, wait When you are going to make a move, you must watch carefully."

Ye Feng finally understands now, dare to throw bricks to attract jade.

Zeng Xiaoxiao did this because he wanted to tell everyone present one thing. Royal One only provides the venue, and is not responsible for the authenticity of the auctioned collections. All collections are provided by collectors themselves. It depends on your eyesight.

If you bought a real product, congratulations, you have good eyesight. As for buying a fake product, you can only swallow it with your front teeth knocked out, and you can’t blame others.

After a brief interlude, the auction officially began. The first auction item was a Yuan blue-and-white porcelain vase with a diameter of about [-] centimeters. The upper and lower edges of the porcelain vase were surrounded by a bamboo forest. In the middle is an old man chopping wood, with a few flying birds hovering above the old man's head.

"Yuan blue-and-white flower-and-bird figure porcelain vase, the base price is 300 million, and the price increase should not be less than 20 each time." Zeng Xiaoxiao said slowly: "Next, everyone can go forward to inspect the goods."

As soon as Zeng Xiaoxiao finished speaking, people from the tables in the front row got up and walked over one after another. Most of the people who could come here were wealthy people with a reputation in Pingchuan. Painter, among the porcelains, is the most popular porcelain among collectors. For everyone, it is quite a good thing to be able to collect a real Yuan blue and white.

"Yezi, let's go over and have a look." Du Yu said and stood up.

He came here this time because he heard that there will be a blue and white piece of Yuan Dynasty for auction in this auction. Mr. Du has money, so as long as Mr. Meng can be sure that this blue and white piece of Yuan Dynasty is genuine, no matter how much he pays, he will not hesitate. won.

Compared with money, no matter how rich the other people present are, they may not be able to compare with Young Master Du.

When Du Yu and the others stepped forward, there were quite a few people around this Yuan blue and white piece. Of course, everyone just stood aside and watched, and few people really took it in their hands and looked at it.

Porcelain is a fragile thing, if something goes wrong, it will be unclear.

"Meng Lao, how about you take a look at this piece of porcelain?" After Du Yu came over, he respectfully invited Meng Lao to come forward.

Mr. Meng nodded, took out his magnifying glass, stepped forward, and looked closely at the porcelain.

The identification of Yuan blue and white mainly starts from seven aspects, such as vessel type, decoration, glaze surface, tire quality, color material, production process and painting skills and characteristics.

In terms of the shape of the utensil, first of all, it depends on its overall feeling. The real Yuan blue and white has a perfect structure and good fluency. If it is a fake, there will be some problems more or less, such as the overall feeling is uncoordinated, irregular, There is a sense of stiffness, etc., or the sloping shoulders are not round, the belly is not streamlined, and if there is a cover, there may be insufficient fit of the utensils, too large gaps, etc.

In terms of decoration, the real Yuan blue and white decoration must be smooth and smooth, while most of the fakes are imitated according to the shape of the real one, and there are bound to be some unclear, dull, stiff and other situations.As for the glaze, the Yuan Dynasty has a history of hundreds of years. After such a long period of time, the real blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty will inevitably have a sense of staleness. If there is fire, the hand is not soft, the perception is impetuous, etc., even if it is deliberately old, it will not work.

In terms of tire quality, most of the fake tire mud is made by mechanical mixing, and the density is high. The ancient handmade tire mud is slightly stiff, and the same thing, because of the density, the fakes are often heavier than the real ones. .

There are more or less differences between the fakes and the real ones in terms of other color materials, production techniques, painting skills and characteristics, and real masters can observe them carefully and see them.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some fakes have already achieved the possibility of confusing the real ones.

"Xiaoye, we meet again." Zeng Xiaoxiao smiled charmingly at Ye Feng, with a variety of charms.

"Hi Boss Zeng." Ye Feng nodded lightly in response.

"It's still the same sentence, as long as you are willing, the door of Zizhu Pavilion is open for you at any time..." Zeng Xiaoxiao continued.

"Boss Zeng, thank you for your kindness, but my attitude is already very clear. It is impossible for me to leave Tianyunxuan." Ye Feng smiled lightly.

Letting him leave the beautiful proprietress to join the woman in front of him is simply a fantasy.

If you don't keep a good private car and don't look at it carefully, who the hell is going to play the bus!

"Xiaoye, don't be so full of words, maybe you will change your mind in the future?" Zeng Xiaoxiao deliberately puffed up her chest, with a good arc.

It has to be said that this woman knows how to use her own advantages very well.

Ye Feng smiled lightly, and it was meaningless to continue arguing on this issue, so he simply stared at the porcelain and began to size it up, ignoring Zeng Xiaoxiao.

Tian Yunxuan, appraiser...

Du Yu finally understands, this kid is Tianyunxuan's appraiser, no wonder when he mentioned Zhang Kexin, one of the four beauties in Pingchuan, this guy kept laughing, dared for a long time, it turned out to be his Beautiful lady boss.

"Ye Zi, you are too unjust, you are the appraiser of Tianyunxuan and you didn't tell me?"

Sun Zilong was also puzzled at this time. He remembered that Ye Feng was just an ordinary apprentice of Tian Yunxuan, how could he become an appraiser now: "What's the situation? I remember that you are not a miscellaneous apprentice?"

"Brother Du, grandson, let's talk about this matter later when we sit down, let's look at porcelain first." Ye Feng smiled and said.

Hearing this, Du Yu and Sun Zilong nodded, but did not continue to say anything.

After careful observation, Mr. Meng was the first to pick up the porcelain and weigh it in his hands. After feeling it carefully for a while, he slowly put it down, and motioned for Zeng Xiaoxiao to verify it.

Zeng Xiaoxiao looked around for a while, then nodded her head.

In this case, if there is any problem with the porcelain, it has nothing to do with Mr. Meng.

Returning to his seat and sitting down, Du Yu couldn't wait to say: "Old Meng, how are you doing?"
