Chu Chen looked at the box carefully, then muttered, "it looks very new!"

Listening to Chu Chen's words, the man was a little anxious and said in a gruff voice: "how could it be new! I planed it myself... "

"Well, hum!"

However, before the man had finished speaking, the old horse coughed heavily, and then glared at the man, which made the five big and three thick man shudder, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

He said: "the reason why you can see the new thing is that you can only see it with a little imagination."

As for Chu Chen's insight in antiques identification, Ma also sighed. When he saw that Chu Chen was only a young man in his twenties, he didn't think much of Ma Xiaoqiang's previous introduction. He thought Chu Chen was just a young man. How could he make any contribution in the field of antiques that needed special experience?

However, Chu Chen's next performance startled ma. He was able to recognize all the things he brought without saying them. Moreover, the reason was very reasonable. His performance was basically the same as that of famous experts.

Although this let old ma give up the idea of fooling Chu Chen, he was very happy, because in this way, Chu Chen certainly had no objection to the authenticity of the things he brought this time.

Why do you say that? It turns out that the handed down antiques are generally divided into user-friendly ones, that is, the handed down utensils in our common sense. The other is burial, that is, unearthed objects. There are two types of buried transmission: shallow and deep.

Shallow buried ceramics, only a few tens of centimeters of miscellaneous soil, or soil erosion, leveling the land, geological changes, etc. make the original deep buried into shallow buried, because the things in the shallow soil pit are often affected by the surface temperature, water infiltration, small animals burrow and so on to make the air enter.

This makes most of the ceramics in the pit oxidize better and have aging phenomenon. The glaze surface is basically similar to the handed down furnishings, which is more lustrous, bright and brand-new. The feet are also more greasy, and the surface of the utensils is mostly more lubricated. This kind of ceramics is easy to be recognized by some experts.

The deep buried ceramics are generally isolated from the air and have no or little oxidation phenomenon. When they are unearthed, the glaze will be "bright, brand-new and bright", the hand feeling of objects in direct contact with soil is more lubricating, the hand feeling of objects not in direct contact with soil is less lubricating, and some objects with kiln slag on their feet may have hand filing or hand pricking. Generally, this kind of things have poor oxidation and no aging appearance, so they are easy to be classified as high imitations.

For example, the lacquer ware in Mawangdui Han tomb, which is very famous in our country, is very bright, brand-new and bright when it is unearthed. There is a strong smell of lacquer when it is near. Some experts who did not participate in the field archaeology think it is an imitation, especially foreign experts who came to visit think it is an imitation.

Some foreign experts thought it was repainted, but they told Mr. Zhou Li that our experts didn't know how to protect cultural relics. This also shows that the deep buried objects are basically isolated from the air, although after thousands of years, the smell is difficult to volatilize due to the relatively sealed, and it is difficult to say that the objects will be oxidized and aged.

In addition to using and burying, there are two ways of hoarding and cliff hoarding, but these two ways are not very common.

All the things brought by Lao Ma are deep buried collections. Moreover, the tomb is well preserved, and there is basically not much air to enter the tomb. As a result, the collections in the tomb will be like new ones when they are taken out. If you don't know about it, you will feel that the East and West are imitations.

This kind of collection is perfectly preserved, but it's a bit depressing for the old horses and others who are eager to get rid of the things, because the buyers they call are not very popular, they think the things are very good, but they don't really sell them, and some even give them faces to make them reasonable.

Of course, the source of things is disgraceful after all, and they can't come to conflict with the buyer for this matter.

When Chu Chen saw something, he had already guessed the source of it. Because of his previous experience, he was very disgusted with tomb robbers. However, for the sake of these precious antiques in front of him, he could only give in vain for the time being. However, in terms of price, he had to lower it as much as possible. What's more, he couldn't make money easily for these people.

Chuchen said with a smile: "old horse, I don't know if you have heard a word. The truth is in the hands of a few people. From my point of view, there is no problem with these things, but I also buy them for sale. At that time, the customers feel that the things are wrong, or because of this reason, the bid is very low. I don't have to keep the things in my hands all the time, do I? "

Chu Chen's "offer is very low" makes Ma understand that Chu Chen wants to lower the price immediately. However, for him who is eager to get rid of things, it doesn't matter to lower the price, as long as it doesn't exceed his psychological bottom line.

Therefore, the old horse said gently: "Chu Shao, you can see the things first, and the price will wait until you choose them. But I will give you a discount, and you can rest assured!"

Hearing what Ma said, Chu Chen knew that he should have understood his own idea, so he put down the box and picked up other things to look at.In addition to the colorful cloud dragon pattern cover box that Chu Chen first observed, there were only four things that the man took, two of which were also Wanli official porcelain.

One is the blue and white fish dragon bowl, which is large and regular, with delicate and soft patterns, complex but not disordered, and clear levels. It embodies skilled painting techniques and decoration skills. It is a rare and precious product of Wanli official kiln, and has high artistic value and collection value.

The other one is the eight auspicious bowls of doucai. Although it is multicolored and decorated with complicated patterns, its layout is appropriate, and the colors are not piled against the background of white glaze. It is a fine work of Wanli official kiln.

Looking at the three pieces of porcelain, they were all bright and looked like new works. However, when they were carefully observed, they were full of Royal flavor. In addition, the characteristics of porcelain were not imitated by modern counterfeiters. Even without the power, Chu Chen could be sure that they were genuine.

Chu Chen was also quite satisfied with the three pieces of porcelain. He thought that as an exhibit in his own museum, it couldn't be better.

In addition to three pieces of porcelain, there is still a bronze ware on the tea table, the Bronze Dragon earrings.

匜 (Y í) is one of the bronze ritual vessels in China. It is used for the ritual of washing water. It is a strict ritual for the nobles to wash water before and after sacrificing gods and worshiping ancestors in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The most common one is the 匜 and pan. 匜 is a water injector and pan is a water receiver.

It first appeared in the middle and later period of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and was popular in the late Western Zhou Dynasty and the spring and Autumn period. Its shape is a bit similar to today's ladybug, oval, open, with flow in the front and flow in the back. In order to prevent toppling during placing, three or four legs are often cast at the bottom of the cudgel, and the bottom is flat without feet.

Some of them are covered, some are high, some are full of patterns, and their shapes are different. In the Zhou Dynasty, the water utensils used in the ceremony of Washi changed from the combination of pan and Su to the combination of pan and su.

This bronze Cuk has a long trough shaped flow in the front, a deep belly and a round bottom, three cylindrical hooves and feet, and a dragon shaped Cuk in the back. The head of the dragon holds the mouth of the Cuk, with round eyes and erect ears. It looks like a drink. The edge of the mouth is straight, and the bottom of the mouth is decorated with a zigzag pattern.

Besides, it may be buried in the extremely dry and pure soil layer. Besides, it smells of soil rust, the percussion sound is also clear and crisp, and it is in excellent preservation.

Finally, from various characteristics, Chu Chen speculated that this bronze Cuk should have been made in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, and it is a rare masterpiece.

Chu Chen said that it is impossible to be indifferent to this bronze object, but bronzes are controlled by the state after all, so it is somewhat troublesome to buy them.

Moreover, from the porcelain and bronze wares in front of him, as well as Lao Ma's eagerness to get rid of these things, and Lao Ma's being so careful, Chu Chen suspects that Lao Ma may have dug at least two relatively large tombs recently, and they may have been found. At worst, someone may have been watching Lao ma.

In this case, not to mention bronze, Chu Chen didn't want to take the other three pieces of porcelain. But now there is another problem. Ma Xiaoqiang knows the address of Lin Dacheng's family. At this point, if he refuses, he is really worried that Lin Dacheng's family will be affected.

"Ah! It's careless! If I had known that, I shouldn't have come here today! "

Chu Chen sighed to himself. Lin Dacheng's family was separated from him by several percent. In addition, they didn't communicate with each other very much. When he thought about the problem before, he didn't think about it at all. Now it's too late.

So far, Chu Chen's plan now is to buy all these things in front of him, and then he must catch all these people. He doesn't want his relatives and friends to be in the same danger as last time.

Seeing that Chu Chen had looked at all the things, Ma said with a smile, "Chu Shao, what do you think of these things?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "things are good, but they are all new and bright! And this bronze ware, although it's only a small one, you know the laws of our country. I'll take risks when I buy it! "

Old Ma Wen Yan's face was immediately full of laughter. Chu Chen said that he had the idea of buying. As for risk, it was just a means of bargaining. For him, as long as he could sell things according to the psychological price, everything else was easy to say.

The old horse said with a smile: "Chu Shao, risk is for the common people like us. For a big man like you, what's the risk?"
