After this period of time together, old five also knew that if he helped Chu Chen buy this yuan blue and white, Chu Chen would not treat him badly at that time. Although the reward he got was not as much as his own purchase, it should not be much different.
In addition, today Chu Chen has realized his promise and is ready to move his registered permanent residence to the capital. At this time, how could he take the blue and white of Yuan Dynasty alone?
Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping know something about Lao Wu's idea, but Lao Wu doesn't sell himself to Chu Chen, let alone buy things by himself. Even if he does, Chu Chen doesn't think it's wrong.
Of course, even if they know Lao Wu's idea, they will not say it. After all, it's good for everyone to understand some words. If they say it, it's easy to cause misunderstanding and estrangement.
Since he knew that something might be genuine, how could Chu Chen not pay attention to it? He quickly asked: "brother five, where is it now? Won't someone else take the lead? "
"Surely not!" Old five waved his hand: "I only saw it yesterday afternoon, and I also paid the owner some deposit, so that he would not let others see it these two days. Now as long as my friends raise money, I can... "
Before the old five could say it back, Zhou Wenping interrupted: "wait a minute, your friend is raising money? What's going on? "
"Oh! I didn't understand that! "
Old five explained with a smile: "this blue and white yuan to sell, in fact, my friend got the news, but he usually play jade, and money is not abundant now, he pulled me over, help him palm, if the thing is right, then buy it in partnership."
In the antique world, it's very normal to buy things in partnership. Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping didn't feel that there was anything wrong.
Chuchen said with a smile: "brother five, it seems that your friends have a good relationship with you. Even if you make money like this, you are also thinking of you."
"That's right!" Old five laughed and scratched his head: "although Lao Ren and I have only known each other for half a year, we may be friends in our last life."
Hearing this, Chu Chen's face showed a look of surprise. He quickly asked, "Lao Wu, do you say your friend's surname is Ren? Isn't he gentle and bookish? "
Old five nodded and said, "yes! Others call him a teacher! Why do you know him? "
Chu Chen shook his head: "no, I just heard of this man, and I don't want to know him!"
"What's the matter?" Old five and Zhou Wenping were surprised to hear Chu Chen say so. What's wrong with this man?
Chuchen said: "brother five, you may not believe it. Your friend is likely to be a liar!"
"Ah! How can it be Old five face appears very shocked, this is normal, Leng who heard that his good friend is a liar, presumably expression and at this time old five should also be similar.
"I also hope they are not alone..." At this point, Chu Chen simply repeated the experience of Zhuang Shengjing and Du Yile: "if the teacher Ren they said is not your friend, it's OK, but if it's the same person, you should be careful. Even this time, it may be a fraud!"
After listening to Chu Chen's story, no matter how much he didn't believe it, he knew that his friend was probably Mr. Ren in the mouth of Zhuang Shengjing and Du Yile, which made him feel hard to accept for a moment.
Zhou Wenping patted old five on the shoulder, comforted old five a few words, then asked: "old five, how much is that Yuan blue and white in the end?"
After all, he used to be a peddler at a stall and had more knowledge of the tricks in the antique shop. But this time, he was met by himself, which made him unable to accept. However, he soon adjusted his mood and said, "I valued it at more than three million yuan. At that time, we still had 600000 yuan, but he had no money. He only had 200000 shares."
If he didn't feel cheated, he still felt that his friend deliberately let him benefit because he didn't have money. But now that he knows that his friend is probably a liar, when he thinks about it again, he thinks that his friend's action is to dig a hole for him to jump. Otherwise, if it is him, 600000 will turn into more than 3 million in a twinkling of an eye. Such a good thing, even if he borrows money, I'll buy things, too.
Of course, Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping are also aware of the trickiness. However, they do not see the real object and do not know whether it is true or false. However, judging from the current situation, it is more likely that it is false.
So Chu Chen asked, "brother five, can you describe to me the specific characteristics of that blue and white jar of Yuan Dynasty?"
"Yes
The old five nodded: "the jar has a straight mouth, a bulging belly and a circle of feet. The shape of the ware is solid and heavy, the quality of the fetus is delicate, and the glaze color is warm and moist. The body is made up of five layers of wreath patterns. The shoulder is painted with entwined chrysanthemum patterns. The middle of the foot's lotus pattern and the abdomen's peony pattern is separated by a narrow rolled grass pattern. The petals and leaves of flowers are dark engraved. The overall layout is spacious and dense, which is very suitable for the blue and white painters of the Yuan Dynasty. "
Old five introduced the blue and white painting of Yuan Dynasty in detail according to his memory, but just as he described the yellow coat at the mouth of the jar and the red flint at the bottom, Chu Chen suddenly interrupted him and asked, "brother five, according to your description, do you think the distance of red flint is short and has no impulse?"Five carefully recalled a moment, said: "you say so, it really seems like this, is this red flint right?"
Chu Chen replied: "yes, if it is like what you said, I doubt that the flint red is made in modern times."
"Isn't flint so lifelike now?" Lao Wu and Zhou Wenping think it's incredible.
Chuchen said with a smile: "with the development of science and technology, especially the research on flint red is more and more in-depth. There are various ways to make flint red, and some of them can really imitate."
"For example, the counterfeiters buy antique white porcelain bodies. Because some antique white porcelain bodies are not made of fake flint red, after the imitation of five colors and pastel porcelain on the glaze, they use the porcelain pigment fanhong to paint a circle at the junction of the body and glaze, and then use fine sponge to pat them into a transition layer. After the barbecue in the red oven, the imitation flint red has a better ending phenomenon."
"However, although the flint red made by this method is more realistic, its color is still different from that of the real one. The more advanced method of counterfeiting is that of brother Wu. However, the flint red made by this method costs a lot, and is generally only used for firing high-grade imitation ancient porcelain."
"What do you say?" The fifth asked quickly.
Chu Chen explained: "because to make this kind of flint red, you have to go to a certain place and spend a lot of money to buy Porcelain clay. The body made of this kind of porcelain clay can be fired in the kiln when it is not completely dry, and you can really get real flint red when you leave the kiln."
"However, the disadvantage is that the hair color distance is short, there is no impulse, and it can only be similar to the old one. Nevertheless, it has been able to confuse people's eyes, even some experts may not be able to see it. However, the cost of purchasing porcelain clay increases, so this method is generally used to make high-grade antique porcelain. "
The old linear red phenomenon is because the moisture in the blank is basically dry. In the process of heating up in the kiln, due to the lack of enough moisture to evaporate, iron molecules only slowly overflow, which looks very similar to flint red.
After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Lao Wu and Zhou Wenping shook their heads and laughed bitterly. This method of counterfeiting in the antique world is endless. Maybe one day someone will have developed the formula of Machang clay. By then, if even the formula of Su Mali green material has been developed, the yuan and Ming porcelains will not even be distinguished by experts.
Of course, if it comes to that time, the price of Yuanming porcelain will be seriously affected, just like the fakes made by Zhang Huohong will bring many troubles to the antique industry.
At this time, Zhou Wenping asked: "boss, is there no other way except for such clues as short hair color distance and no impulse?"
The reason why he asked this question was that he thought these two points were somewhat abstract, and he might not be able to see them. As the owner of an antique shop, he can add some new experience all the time now. Otherwise, if he is beaten up one day, he will be laughed at by others, and the antique shop may suffer losses. This is not the situation he wants.
Chu Chen said: "there is really another way to identify this imitation flint red. The main thing is to carefully examine the color of the East and the west, because the mineral composition of porcelain clay varies greatly from place to place, and the color of the body after firing porcelain is also different. In particular, the porcelain of the yuan and Ming Dynasties is quite different. "
Hearing this, Zhou Wenping nodded repeatedly, while Lao Wu was thoughtful. After a while, he patted his thigh hard and said, "that's right! I said that the color of the tire always seems to have some specious feeling, so that's what happened! However, even if it's fake, the production level of Yuan blue and white is very high. It's hard to see if you don't have the boss's level. "
Chuchen smiles. Just as he's about to speak, Lao Wu's mobile phone rings suddenly. He takes out his mobile phone and looks at it. His face changes immediately.
Seeing this, Chu Chen asked, "why, your friend Ren?"
"Yes At this time the old five face is not very good, he nodded, ready to hang up the phone.
"Don't hang up!" Chu Chen quickly stopped for a while, said: "you first listen to what he means in the end, it is best to agree to his request."
Five immediately understand the meaning of Chu Chen, and then put through the phone.
"Lao Ren, can we start?" When Lao Wu spoke, his tone was deliberately excited.
"Well This Five! I'm really sorry! I borrowed it from all my relatives and friends, and I got 150000 yuan. Look... " A voice came from the mobile phone.
