At this time, Fang Jinbo said, "there are so many copper coins here. Let's find out if there are any other sculptors."
"One will do. I don't expect another." Qi Baofu laughed, but even though he said that, he still had some small expectations in his heart, so he squatted down to search again.
Unexpectedly, Fang Jinbo was right. There was a carved mother in these copper coins. Qi Baofu couldn't believe his eyes.
This carving mother is the "carving mother" of "Daoguang" Baoyuan Bureau. The gold mouth has not been opened, and it is in excellent preservation state without any flaw. The knife work is smooth, and the light slurry reflects the refined copper quality of the carving mother perfectly. The standard sculptor of the manufacturing office can synthesize it in one go. It is really a rare perfect collection.
After seeing it, Chu Chen handed it to Qi Baofu and said, "it's really genuine. Although it's not as precious as the one just now, there are still tens of thousands of them."
Fang Jinbo said with a smile: "Lao Qi, OK, the time has changed."
Qi Baofu said with a smile: "not really. After all, you know where the copper money comes from. You have to compensate one of my friends."
That's right, but for him, it's just the first time that he's met with such a good thing. The corner of his mouth is about to crack to the back of his ears.
At this time, Mrs. Qi came in, saw Qi Baofu's cheerful appearance, and asked: "how, what good things happened?"
"Is it a good thing to pick up two leaks?" Qi Baofu said triumphantly.
"You picked it up, too?" Mrs. Qi was surprised, and then asked, "how much money did you make?"
"About three or four hundred thousand." Qi Baofu returned with a smile.
"It's just that. You don't have to look at how much money you've spent over the years. I'll tell you, if you go shopping again because you rarely find a leak, I want you to look good!" Mrs. Qi gave a serious warning.
Qi Baofu said with a smile: "ha ha, don't worry. I'm going to study for a while, and I won't be so blind as before in collecting in the future."
"Really?" Mrs. Qi was skeptical.
Qi Baofu nodded heavily: "this time I do what I say. Besides, with teacher Chu and Xiao Fang as witnesses, I will have no face if I go back."
"OK, I'll see..."
After listening to this, Mrs. Qi also showed a smile on her face. Then, she asked everyone to go out for dinner with a smile. However, after a few steps, she suddenly thought of something and said, "by the way, Lao Li called just now and said that he wanted you to have dinner and go to his house. Let me tell you."
"He didn't say anything?" Qi Baofu asked.
"No," he said Mrs. Qi shook her head: "however, I think he probably bought some more antiques. I want you to help me. If so, what are you going to do?"
Seeing his wife looking at him, Qi Baofu said with a smile: "today, with the help of Mr. Chu, I can tell the truth. If it's genuine, it's nothing to help Lao Li."
After hearing this, Mrs. Qi went to Qi Baofu and said in a low voice, "it's OK to help, but don't be a big money, do you know?"
"I see. I'm not a fool." Qi Baofu laughed and said in secret, "I have to do my best to help Lao Li pick up the leak twice."
Mrs. Qi didn't know what was in Qi Baofu's mind. Seeing that Qi Baofu said so, she also relaxed and warmly entertained Chu Chen and Fang Jinbo.
Having enough to eat and drink, Qi Baofu is going to give Chu Chen a red envelope as today's reward, but Chu Chen doesn't accept it. Originally, he came to help identify them because they are friends. Otherwise, he might as well go shopping with Wu Ke.
"Lao Qi, you are all friends. Don't do this. Just treat me to a few more meals next time."
Qi Baofu said with a smile: "as long as you have time, please have dinner every day."
Chuchen joked: "that sister-in-law's skill is wasted."
Mrs. Qi said, "I'd like him to eat out every day, so that he doesn't think it's good or bad."
Qi Baofu said with a smile, "it's not training your cooking skills."
Madame Qi glared at him: "thank you for having the face to say..."
After the joke, we had another cup of tea, and then led by Qi Baofu, we came to the friend's house in the next unit.
Qi Baofu's friend, Li Guiheng, is about the same age as Qi Baofu. He looks thin and small. He wears a pair of eyeglasses, just like an old scholar. After listening to Qi Baofu's introduction, he turned out to be a high school math teacher. Because of his health, he got sick ahead of time.
Li Guiheng stayed at home and had nothing to do. A few years ago, he accidentally came into contact with the industry of antiques. After learning about it for a period of time, he began to step into this industry, and from then on, he was out of control.
Li Guiheng was very happy to see Qi Baofu coming. When he saw Chu Chen, his face was even more excited. He kept saying polite things to Chu Chen. Until Qi Baofu reminded him, he quickly invited everyone into the living room and made a cup of tea for everyone.After a sip of tea, Qi Baofu asked, "Lao Li, what's the matter with you coming to me?"
Li Guiheng rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "no, two days ago, I bought a colorful birthday dish from Kangxi official kiln with my private money. My wife accidentally found out, and it happened that my quota for this month was used up. As a result, you should understand."
After hearing this, Qi Baofu asked with a strange expression: "I said Lao Li, you can't buy the wrong one again, can you? Can you afford the colorful birthday plate of Kangxi kiln
Li Guiheng explained with a smile: "of course, I can't afford to buy a complete one. I'm only disabled, but you can rest assured that there are not many disabled ones. I guarantee that they are worth the money."
Qi Baofu said: "well, I just don't know what happened. Lao Li, you'd better take it out and have a look."
"Well, it's already ready..."
Li Guiheng took out a box. After opening it, what he said was the colorful birthday plate.
This dish has straight mouth, round lips, slightly bulging belly, flat bottom and short ring feet. The whole body is covered with white glaze, and the inner wall is decorated with alum red bat pattern. The center of the plate is decorated with a picture of immortals, deer and longevity. Shoulao embraces Ruyi painted by alum red, followed by a servant boy. Next to the official boy, there is a follow-up table, on the table there is an immortal stove, and there is an immortal deer.
The composition is vivid, the color is gorgeous, the drawing is fine, the characters look very vivid, and the details of clothing are very delicate. In addition, the bottom of the plate is written with "Qing Kangxi year system" double line regular script, and there are several bumps along the mouth of the plate.
Seeing that Chu Chen put the plate back in the box, Li Guiheng asked, "teacher Chu, is this plate good?"
Chu Chen hesitated for a moment, thinking that today is to help Qi Baofu palm, he told the truth: "Miss Li, I don't think much about this colorful birthday dish."
"What?" Li Guiheng was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he frowned and said, "I compare the characteristics of some pieces of colorful porcelain in Kangxi period according to my collection. How can it be wrong?"
Chu Chen was stunned and said, "Miss Li, you are wrong. Judging from the glaze of the plate, it can't be the official porcelain of Kangxi period."
Li Guiheng shook his head: "I'm sure there's no mistake. If you don't believe me, I'll show you..."
Then he stood up and walked quickly to the inner room.
"Miss Chu, what's the matter?" Qi Baofu knew that his old friend should not lie about it, but Chu Chen's insight should not be wrong, so he was a little confused about it.
Chuchen smiles, appears to be confident, said: "this matter wait for Teacher Li to come back."
A moment later, Li Guiheng came back with a big box. Because the box was relatively large, he put it directly next to the coffee table and opened it. There were all large and small pieces of porcelain in it.
"Mr. Chu, do you think the characteristics of these pieces of Kangxi five color porcelain are the same as this five color plate?" Li Guiheng selected a few pieces of porcelain and put them in front of Chu Chen.
Chu Chen picked up the tiles and looked at them. He had a number in his mind and asked, "Miss Li, have you heard of" throwing jade to lead bricks "
"Is it really" throwing jade to lead bricks " Li Guiheng is not sure, so.
"Yes, it's" throwing jade to lead bricks. "It's a common trick in the antique market..." With that, Chu Chen introduced "throwing jade and leading bricks" to everyone.
There are two ways to "throw jade and lead bricks". One is to fish for a long time. Just like Kang Yonghui's scam, an "antique dealer" first buys some real antiques from other collectors at a high price, and then sells them to someone at a low price.
As the buyer just entered the business, he took a few things for experts to see, experts also think that things are real, and the price is cheap. Since then, the buyer has been full of trust in "antique dealer" and has bought hundreds of thousands of things one after another. Later, when the buyer found out that it was wrong, he went to the "antique dealer" again. The shop closed and the people disappeared.
Another is the method of "throwing jade and leading bricks" invented by "antique dealers" in recent years. A "antique dealer" first sold some porcelain pieces to the buyer very cheaply, some of which were real and some were fake, and they were mixed with the real and the fake. The buyer carefully studied the tiles. He knew that the porcelain with the characteristics of the tiles was real, and he would not buy the porcelain without the characteristics of the tiles.
When the buyer research has a certain experience, the big brick attracted. As like as two peas of the porcelain, he is selling the counterfeit products to the buyer in a timely manner.
After introducing two examples of "throwing jade to lead bricks", Chu Chen said: "Mr. Li, I think the person who sells porcelain and this plate should be the same person."
Li Guiheng's face turned red and white. After a while, he nodded and said, "it's the same However, I also have some art skills. The pattern on this plate is very vivid. It's not that the teacher Fu with high level can't draw it, can he? My plate is only a few thousand yuan in total. Is it worth it? "
