Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

The stall owner was looking at Lin Ran, waiting for his explanation.

Lin Ran also found it strange that the weight of the bronze furnace was much lighter than he imagined.

Logically speaking, it should be made of pure copper, and the production is also decent. Even if it is a high imitation, it can be regarded as a high-quality product.

However, Lin Ran was fishing. He frowned and said, "Boss, where did you buy it from?"

The stall owner smiled mysteriously: "I just said it."

Lin Ran shook his head: "Everyone in Panjiayuan says so. In my opinion, this bronze furnace is quite realistic, but it should be an imitation after the Qing Dynasty."

The stall owner suddenly changed his face and said coldly: "Little brother, don't talk nonsense."

Lin Ran quickly laughed and said: "Haha, I just think that the bronze furnace you made is really decent. It doesn't look like a handmade work at all. In my opinion, it should be a high imitation work made in the past two years. The quality is pretty good.”

The last sentence, I don’t know whether it is a compliment or a disparagement.

The stall owner's face suddenly dropped: "Then do you want to buy it?"

Seeing the disgusted expression on the stall owner's face, Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh.

He didn't know why the tomb robbers sent this person to write off the accounts. Judging from his emotional intelligence and cultural level, it was indeed a bit low. Could it be that he was the most educated among the tomb robbers? Otherwise, how could he be sent to Panjiayuan to execute Terminal tasks.

However, Lin Ran knew that the more this kind of person is, the easier it is for him to reveal his flaws.

He pretended to be disgusted and said: "This thing of yours is too fake, unless you can provide some evidence."

The stall owner didn't expect that the man in front of him was so thick-skinned. How could a tomb robber show up? Wasn't he just waiting to be caught?

If I hadn't seen that he had a little money, I really wouldn't want to talk to him.

Just as the stall owner was having a fit, an old man walked over.

He has a simple and honest face, but he has the temperament of a scholar.

He came to the stall and looked at Lin Ran and the stall owner with a smile.

It can only be said that the stall owner's acting skills were very poor. Lin Ran could tell at a glance that the two of them knew each other, and the stall owner almost said hello directly.

The two exchanged glances for a while before the stall owner forced out a smile and said, "Watch as you like."

If he could be fooled by their poor acting skills, Lin Ran wouldn't have to hang out in Panjiayuan.

The old man did not squat down, but looked at the bronze furnace in Lin Ran's hand.

"Little brother, if you don't want this, you might as well give it to me."

"That won't work." Lin Ran objected immediately. He speculated in his mind about the identity of the rich man. Could he be the boss of the stall owner?

With his temperament and image, wouldn't it be more convenient to set up a stall?

It's just that he doesn't understand the rules too much. It's too shameless to ask others to let go of something that others are holding before they put it down.

The stall owner looked like he couldn't help it and said, "If you want to buy something, just buy it. If you don't want to buy it, put it down quickly. Don't delay my business."

He originally thought that Lin Ran would let it go, but he didn't think it was genuine anyway, so naturally he wouldn't waste time with them.

As a result, Lin Ran completely ignored their words and said to himself: "The bronze furnace with four legs and ears originated from the Xia Dynasty. It passed through many dynasties and developed into the Tang Dynasty. I have never seen anything like this before." Instrument-shaped.”

After hearing this, the stall owner felt baffled as to what the brat in front of him was pretending to be.

He stood up and prepared to snatch back his bronze furnace.

As a result, Lin Ran directly showed the bronze furnace to the old man next to him: "Look at the Taotie inscription engraved on the surface of this bronze furnace, and."

Lin Ran then put the bronze furnace back on the ground and said, "Copper will become heavier after oxidation, but this is too light, which is a bit unreasonable."

"However, this bronze is genuine. It has red spots and green rust. It doesn't look like it was made in a distressed way."

The old man chuckled: "You mean, this is a fake?"

"Exactly." Lin Ran said.

Originally, two people shopping at the same stall would not be able to communicate with each other.

After all, everyone is here for the purpose of picking up leaks. Who will tell others their information.

Since Lin Ran said such words,

The stall owner immediately expressed his dissatisfaction and said: "If you don't want to buy it, you won't buy it. Why are you slandering others?"

He shouted angrily: "You pickers, everything looks fake. You really have no discernment and you can't even recognize the real thing!"

The stall owner became more and more excited as he talked, until the old man raised a hand to signal him to stop talking.

"Little brother, what evidence do you have to prove it is fake?"

The old man's face was also a little serious.

Lin Ran smiled and said: "It mainly shows flaws in two aspects. The first one is the surface."

Lin Ran squatted down, pointed to the patina on the surface and said, "Look at the patina. Although it is red and green, the color of real bronzes of a certain age is not like this."

"And there will be some black." Lin Ran said.

Because in ancient bronzes, two things are usually added, and these two things will actually show rust after oxidation and adhere to the surface.

Therefore, there should be some grinding layer on the surface of real bronze, which looks shiny and feels smooth.

The stall owner was confused, but when he was about to speak, he noticed the expression of the old man next to him, so he obediently shut his mouth.

The old man just squatted down, picked up the bronze vessel, and carefully looked at the patina on the surface, his face looking extremely gloomy.

He has also heard of the term "black paint in ancient times", which is an early anti-oxidation measure in ancient times.

According to Lin Ran's reasoning, the possibility of this thing being a fake is indeed very high.

He said the specific reason was not good, but he also vaguely felt something was wrong.

Before he could ask, Lin Ran continued: "There is a second point, that is."

But the old man suddenly clasped his fists and said, "Little brother, I can see that you are discerning."

"Where?" Lin Ran smiled slightly, but he hadn't finished speaking yet.

The old man originally wanted to stop there and not sell the bronze furnace.

However, the stall owner was not happy. He felt that his professional level had been challenged, so he said coldly: "It's so rare and strange. Have you never seen mercury skin?"

In fact, mercury skin will also appear black after oxidation and form a coating.

This film will be combined with the bronze when the bronze is cast.

Lin Ran did not continue talking.

Simply judging the authenticity based on patina is the same as when he told the archaeological team that it was an ancient tomb from the Tang Dynasty just because he saw a bronze from the Tang Dynasty. It cannot be used as key evidence.

If you want to judge the age, it is nothing more than the material and style, and other achievements are usually not recognized.

The old man hesitated to speak, but when he saw the stall owner's serious look, he secretly shook his head.
