City's Appreciation Eye

Chapter 61
"Master Liu, I'll leave it to you this time."

Fourth Master Zhao raised his wine glass and said with a smile to an old man over eighty years old beside him.

"Being entrusted by others, loyalty to others is a matter of course."

The old man nodded expressionlessly.

Zhao Jinchen looked excited and stared at Bai Hao with a provocative look in his eyes. Master Liu is one of the few masters in South China. With him in charge this time, he is absolutely safe.

"Are you confident?"

Yu Linglong watched with great interest the pile of antiques brought by the waiter below, her eyes flickered, her charm was natural.

"If I didn't have confidence, I wouldn't be standing here."

Bai Hao smiled faintly.

The last spot was given to Bai Hao by Li Tianming. Many antique masters had never met him before. They dared not object to Li Tianming's decision. Instead, they sneered at Bai Hao with unkind eyes.

"The competition starts. The ten masters have 10 minutes to identify the authenticity of the antiques in front of them. If they make mistakes, they will quit. If they are all correct, they will be eliminated from the last three who took the longest time."

With an order, the ten people lifted the red cloth in front of them in full view, and saw their own test questions. This was the first time in South China that they competed openly.

"My second uncle is amazing, he will never lose!"

Liu Yunyun found Li Junyi who left the meeting angrily, and persuaded him to come back with a good voice. Li Junyi stared at Bai Hao with gloomy eyes, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

In front of Bai Hao is a porcelain bowl from the Qing Dynasty. Its appearance is mutilated, and the inscription is unclear. It is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the authenticity from the fake, but there is still nothing to hide in front of him.

"There are six-character seal script inscriptions in folk kilns, and there are also four-character inscriptions in "Jiaqing Year System". Most of them are very sloppy. Some only write half of the characters and omit the strokes, which are called cursive inscriptions, so they are very difficult to read... But this one is undoubtedly authentic.”

Just after Bai Hao made the confirmation, Master Liu beside him had already knocked on the gong, indicating that the appraisal was completed. Bai Hao couldn't help being a little surprised, so fast?

"Pretty!"

Seeing that Master Liu finished it first, Zhao Jinchen couldn't help laughing triumphantly, and looked at Bai Hao's porcelain, which was broken and ugly, could it be genuine?Ghost letter!

"boom!"

Ten people have completed the identification one after another, and the results of the identification are on a small board next to it. As a result, all ten people have been identified correctly, but the three who took the longest time will be eliminated.

The remaining seven continued to PK.

The identification in the field also caused discussions among many people around. Some of them boasted that they had excellent vision and followed the appraisal of the masters, and even some gamblers opened a small market to bet on who would win in the end.

"Don't look, Master Liu's vision has to be said to be extremely sharp. Only one piece of this Song Dynasty hairpin and plum fan has been unearthed in the world. The information is rare. His old man can see the true and false roots at a glance. This competition There is no doubt that Master Liu will win!"

After all, this wealthy businessman bet a full 100 million. Although he won only 100 after betting 70 million, the victory is safe!
When he made a bet, many people around him followed suit.

Liu Yunyun excitedly pulled Li Junyi to bet, but she didn't understand, so she raised her head and asked: "Brother Li, I don't understand, but I listen to you, who do you think will be out in this round?" ah?"

Li Junyi snorted coldly.

"That kid Bai Hao will definitely be out. Those treasures have reached the point where they can almost be mistaken for real. It's just luck that he didn't get eliminated in the first round."

"Oh...that's right, then I'll bet 100 million according to you!"

On the other side, Yu Linglong squinted her eyes and stared at the gambling table. The odds for Bai Hao to win the championship were 100 to 1000, that is to say, if you bet [-] million, if Bai Hao wins, you can get [-] million!

"Tsk tsk tsk, the little guy is being looked down upon again..."

Yu Linglong smiled brightly and looked brightly. When she came to the gambling table, many men gave way to her.

"Bet Bai Hao to win the championship, 1000 million."

A black gold card was placed on the table by slender fingers. Her actions made the people at the gaming table take a breath. She was playing so big...

"Miss Yu, you are so confident, I'm afraid if he disappoints you, it's better not to bet so big."

Li Junyi tried to persuade him with an ugly face, but he didn't understand why Yu Linglong had a crush on Bai Hao, she actually defended him like this, and even spared no expense to save his face!

"I bet my life on him and I won. A mere 1000 million is nothing, right?"

Yu Linglong didn't look at Li Junyi at all, so she sneered, and didn't even look at him when she opened her eyes. Li Junyi was extremely embarrassed, and a burst of anger rushed into her heart.

"Okay! I'll buy 1000 million and he will lose! I just want to show you whether he is worth it!"

The angry dispute between the two suddenly ignited the atmosphere of the audience, and the betting by rich businessmen and celebrities was no longer a trivial matter, and the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic.

Song Yuqing and Zhao Jinchen jointly bet 500 million each, and Master Liu, who bet all of them, won the championship. As for the other celebrities, everyone also has their own supporters. Only Bai Hao is a lonely seedling.

The people inside the arena didn't know anything about what happened outside the arena, and the second round of topics was even more profound, which was calligraphy and painting of famous people.

As we all know, it is more difficult to identify the counterfeit of such things as paintings than other utensils.

Paper can be made old, and seals can be forged. If it is not for the deep accumulation of history and culture, it is actually even more difficult to distinguish a forged painting by a famous artist.

Not long ago, there was a joke that Qi Baishi's granddaughter took her grandpa's painting to a treasure appraising show, but was said to be fake, which made me laugh and cry.

The painting placed in front of Bai Hao is Qi Baishi's "Picture of Swimming Shrimp". Squint your eyes and observe carefully.

"Damn, this kid just swollen his face to pretend to be a fat man. Qi Baishi's painting can still be fake. He's playing tricks, so he's showing his cowardice."

A senior collector sneered disdainfully.

"That's right. This painting does look flawless. If you have to pick a bone, it's because you've never seen it before."

Another old man stroked his beard and smiled.

Bai Haofa rolled his eyes, squinted his eyes, looked at it for a while, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

"Sure enough."

Without hesitation, he marked a fake.

This time he tied for first place with Master Liu, giving the appraisal results almost at the same time.

"What?! Fake, this... isn't this nonsense, I donated this painting to the South China Museum, how could it be fake!"

A wealthy businessman wearing gold-rimmed glasses became impatient on the spot, stood up and yelled at Bai Hao for misleading his son, for being blind.

"Silence, silence, the result will be known later!"
