Tomb Raider: I Can Hear Antiques Talk

Chapter 51
"Jin Ye, if we can't listen to cricket crickets, we won't grow crops, can we?"

Hearing what Xiao Ran said, Da Jinya grinned and said, "Actually, can I really get angry with these grandsons? The main thing is not to show them face, and this kind of guy will often come to hate me in the future."

Xiao Ran nodded: "Well, there's no need to get angry with this guy."

Da Jinya said happily: "Actually, brother, I am in a very good mood today. I just sold a Qing Dynasty foreign barrel, that is, a wooden refrigerator, and a Yongzheng official kiln Jihong small teapot yesterday. It’s a lot of money. That’s really three days without opening, and three years after opening. Besides, those two are fakes, even Mr. Hu and Fatty said that I was trying to win glory for the country!”

As Da Jinya spoke, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, who turned their heads aside, nodded quickly, looking sincere.

Xiao Ran asked: "Master Jin, don't focus on making a fortune for yourself. Have you seen the things of the two elder brothers? Hurry up and find a buyer."

Da Jinya said: "Don't tell me, you have become brothers after going out for a while. You two also said that we have to wait for brother Xiao to be around. We can appreciate it together, and we can't talk alone without you Take a look, how interesting it is!"

Seeing Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan looking at him with a smile, Xiao Ran felt hot, and said, "Master Jin, you are better than me in this area, and I still have some things that I found out this time, so I might as well just ask you to go and buy them." My Baorongzhai, let's estimate the price together!"

The few people didn't talk much, and after a while, they gathered in the reception room of Baorongzhai.

Before Xiao Ran could show the porcelain, the fat man couldn't wait to take out his two precious jade biscuits, and let the big gold tooth taste them first.After all, he always felt that these two jade biscuits were much more valuable than those bottles and jars.

Da Jinya took the two jade bis, and Hu Bayi took advantage of the opportunity to talk about the jade bis.He kept the habit of reporting work when he was a soldier, and his words were concise and orderly, and he didn't mention anything related to Huangpizifen and Ganggang Yingzi at all.

How did he determine the location of the ancient tomb from the moment he arrived at Yerengou, and when did he begin excavation? Outside the tomb, Tianbaolong’s fire-glazed roof and tomb bricks were found, as well as the structure of the tomb, the layout of the tomb, the material and decoration of the coffin, and the owner of the tomb. Appearance of clothing and other funerary objects and so on.

On the contrary, Fatty, whenever Hu Bayi talked about some key points, he wanted to interject some thrilling adventure details, but was repeatedly stopped by Hu Bayi.The fat man was still very dissatisfied: "Why didn't you tell Master Jin? That episode was so exciting..."

Big Gold Tooth is more professional, holding two jade bis, not only touching and looking at them, but also not feeling dirty at all, first put it up to his nose and smell it, and finally stuck out his tongue to lick it.

Xiao Ran felt a shock in his heart, he said in his heart that he really couldn't do this kind of identification...

The knowledge in the tomb of the Great Golden Tooth is really not covered. How deep is the tomb, how high is the ceiling, how many auxiliary rooms, how many people and horses are buried with each other, whether the harness is made of leather or copper, whether the weapons are inlaid with gold, and how many clothes are worn by the owner of the tomb? How many inches is the height of the layered shoes, and even asked whether the soil on the ground in the tomb is agglomerated and so on.

But at that time, they were blind and dangerous, even if they really understood this, who would have time to pay attention to it?So the three of them were confused by Da Jinya's questioning repeatedly.

"Master Jin, I know if gold can be tasted with your teeth, why don't you taste this jade with your mouth? It's a good thing I broke it out of my hand, if it's somewhere else..."

When the fat man said this, his face looked as if he had licked that piece of jade, and it came from the "other place" he said.

Da Jinya grinned and said: "I just know a little bit about skin, and I know a little bit about things on the skin. But it's also a family handicraft, and I will show it to you today.

"In fact, appraising antiques is the same as visiting tombs in Daodou. They both pay attention to looking, smelling, asking, and cutting, which is the way of Chinese medicine.

"The so-called look refers to the appearance, shape, color and craftsmanship of famous utensils. Those who can be buried with them must be very different from those of ordinary people at that time. This is a preliminary stage. Wen Biwang is a step forward. For antique appraisal It is very important, because one of the mainstream ways to make fake antiques old is to soak the fakes in the excrement pit. This kind of old ones is different from the smell that has been retting in the tomb for hundreds of thousands of years. You can smell it, the smell of a fake is more suffocating than a dead man's fart.

"As for asking, to put it bluntly, it's just asking. As for the questions I just asked, once the question comes out, if the other party is a liar, it will definitely show your cowardice. So this trick can also judge the value of the weapon from the side.

"In the end, all of this is touching, which depends on the accumulation of experience. It's not me who blows it up. I have already combined my heart and hands with the thousands of antiques in my hands. If it's a real treasure, I'll touch it and touch it. The heaviness accumulated by the antiques for thousands of years can be felt immediately, no matter how fakes are made, they will not be able to reveal the spirituality inherent in the real antiques..."

Yarrow Jiukuo interjected secretly: "This is attention, accumulated thoughts become spirits!"

Seeing Da Jinya showing off his knowledge complacently, the fat man became anxious: "Master Jin, what you said sounds like a book from heaven, so just tell me how much these two jade bis of mine are worth!"

When he said this, Hu Bayi quickly sat up straight.

Da Jinya looked at Xiao Ran and said, "Master Xiao, do you palm your eyes first?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I told Fat Master before that these two pieces are not considered jade, they are dry yellow and discolored jade produced in the Caucasus, but I am also half-toned, so you can tell me."

Da Jinya said: "Look, you two, even if someone like Master Xiao understands a little bit, when you go to the tomb later, you can distinguish one from the other among the piles of antiques, so you don't miss it, right?
"Speaking of these two pieces, I saw them for the first time. According to the rules of our industry, we can call them moth-body and chi-pattern double-bricks in terms of shape and craftsmanship. But the value, as Xiao Ye said, Strictly speaking, this is not jade, so I roughly estimate in China, and it must be higher abroad, but the final price still depends on the buyer. There is no fixed price for antiques, and they can be priced at the market. As long as the buyer recognizes it, you can buy anything regardless of the price .”

Fifty thousand or more.Judging from his expression, Hu Bayi was very satisfied with the price, but the fat man was still a little reconciled, and raised his bar: "Fifty thousand... According to you, if I tie up the golden rice dumplings, if someone If you buy it, you can also sell it at a higher price?"

Da Jinya said seriously: "I didn't say that, if you really get it out and sell it abroad, the base price will start at , Meizi! I used to have a colleague who I knew well, and he sold tiles, stamps, arrow clusters and other small things. Stuff. Later, I went to XJ to dump the mummy, and I made a lot of money!"

Hu Bayi's eyes widened: "Really? What's so rare about the zongzi?"

Xiao Ran interrupted and said: "Brother Hu, foreigners like the mysterious things of ancient civilizations. When the Egyptian mummies were just dug out in the early years, the old hooligans in Europe still ground them for medicine. Although they don't stuff them in their mouths now. , but as soon as they heard that the oriental mummy from the mysterious ancient country was going to be exhibited, all foreign museum tickets would be sold out."

The fat man slapped his head: "Oh! The second time I went to the grave with the villagers, and saw that the corpse was torn to pieces by the ground otter, so we set it on fire. If I knew it, I would carry it back!"

"How do you carry it back and buy a ticket for it to take the train?" Hu Bayi laughed.

The fat man nodded, with a serious expression on his face: "Well, let's say he is my brother Hu's second uncle."
