Zhengyangmen: I refuse to be a bootlicker, Su Meng panicked
Chapter 173 Blue and White Porcelain
"I'll choose the silver incense box in the middle of the second row."
When everyone noticed Han Chunming's choice, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
That silver incense box doesn't look like a valuable item at all. It seems like it was brought up just to make up the number.
They say Han Chunming has a sharp eye, so how could he choose such an object?
It seems that Tang Tongtong is sure to win, after all, the outcome is so obvious.
"Why...why did you choose such a thing?" Hou Polan's face looked a little embarrassed, and he came over and pulled Han Chunming's clothes.
Han Chunming didn't care and seemed not to mind the ridicule of people around him.
"You think this thing is worthless, don't you?"
Someone had already brought the silver incense box to Han Chunming. He picked up the silver incense box and spoke in a faint voice.
"This thing, it's obvious it's worthless." Tang Tongtong put her hands behind her back and walked happily to Han Chunming. "Mr. Han, I'm sorry, I won a little too easily this time! Who told you to choose such a thing?"
Now everyone thought Han Chunming was doomed to fail. After all, this silver incense box was not worth anything in the eyes of everyone.
Jiang Xu and Jiang Xiaoxi standing by were also a little embarrassed. Han Chunming had always been able to hold onto every target firmly, so how could he have lost so miserably in the Shefu game?
"Although a small number of silver incense boxes have been unearthed, they are still considered rare. However, the condition of this silver incense box is really too poor."
Zhuang Mo walked over, took the silver incense box from Han Chunming, and looked at the deposit at the bottom.
"Oh my! Such a small thing actually has a mark on it! Ming Dynasty...Made during the Kangxi reign. Hahahaha, this is actually a fake!"
Everyone burst into laughter. After all, who couldn't see such an obvious mistake?
Kangxi was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but writing "Ming Dynasty" on the bottom of the inscription is a bit of a joke.
But Han Chunming remained unmoved and reached out to take the silver incense box from Zhuang Mo's hand.
"As expected, you all can't see the benefits of this thing." Han Chunming took out a handkerchief and wiped off the dirt on the silver incense box.
As he wiped it, the light shone on the silver incense box. Although the blue and white patterns were still dim, they reflected the unique glow of exquisite porcelain.
Everyone couldn't help but gasp; this silver incense box was actually made of top-grade porcelain!
However, no matter how well the porcelain is fired, it cannot hide the fact that it is a fake!
"Mr. Han, do you want to default on your debt? As the saying goes, one should accept the consequences of a bet. This is not good for you." Tang Tongtong sneered and said.
Now everyone thinks that Han Chunming has lost, even the Polan Hou and Jiang Xu, the grandfather and grandson, think so.
No matter how you look at it, the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase chosen by Tang Tongtong is more valuable. This silver incense box is really...
"I'm not trying to shirk my responsibility." Han Chunming turned his head and looked at Tang Tongtong, then laughed. "Miss Tang, you lost. Don't deny it."
"What?"
Tang Tongtong thought she had misheard. How could she be the one who lost? Was Han Chunming unable to accept defeat, so he started talking nonsense? Others thought so too.
"Mr. Han, there are so many people watching, you can't deny your debt!" Zhuang Mo also said.
Han Chunming smiled even more happily, raised the silver incense box in his hand and showed the amount at the bottom.
"Everyone, when you see the inscription 'Made in the Kangxi Period of the Ming Dynasty' on the bottom, you will automatically think it's a fake. However, it is not a fake. It is a genuine Kangxi-era official kiln paper, and it was once used by the concubines in the palace. If my estimate is correct, the upper limit can reach 150,000."
Everyone was dumbfounded when these words came out. What was Han Chunming talking about? How could this be an official kiln?
Knowing no one would believe him, Han Chunming continued to explain, "During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, people were extremely superstitious and believed that breaking porcelain was a bad omen. Porcelain is fragile, as everyone knows, so Kangxi had the characters "Da Ming" added to the bottom of the porcelain when it was fired to ward off the so-called bad luck."
With this explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
But, is this really the case?
"I know this! I've heard some archaeologists talk about it, and it's true!" someone suddenly exclaimed.
This confirms what Han Chunming said.
"During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, many porcelains produced in the official kilns had this pattern on their bases, but silver incense boxes were rare. So, wouldn't this silver incense box from the official kilns be worth 150,000 yuan?"
At this moment, everyone was confused.
Even Tang Tongtong and Zhuang Mo were dumbfounded.
How did Han Chunming know such unpopular knowledge? Did he lose just like that?
"Dude! You're so cool!" Hou Polan was so happy that he almost jumped up. He never expected that Han Chunming could turn the tide so easily.
But Han Chunming was not too proud. Instead, he walked to the Yuan blue and white porcelain selected by Tang Tongtong, picked it up, weighed it twice, and looked at it carefully.
"Ms. Tang, let me tell you, this Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain of yours is a definite fake!" Han Chunming said, determined to shock people.
"impossible!!".
Tang Tongtong could no longer control her emotions and roared angrily.
She could accept that she had lost, and she could also accept the conditions proposed by Han Chunming later, but she absolutely could not accept anyone questioning her vision.
Since her debut, she has never missed a treasure. Why would Han Chunming, a middleman who made his fortune by picking up bargains, question her?
This is an insult to her abilities!
"Impossible? Miss Tang, do you think you are not mistaken about this Yuan blue and white porcelain?" Han Chunming was not angry at all and asked with a smile.
"Tongtong can't be wrong. This is indeed Yuan blue and white porcelain, and it's a rare blue and white porcelain vase with a story. Even if its value is not as high as the silver incense box you like, it is definitely not bad." Zhuang Mo was also a little annoyed.
"Han Chunming, don't think that just because you win you can insult my apprentice!
This statement is a bit of an accusation, and will make everyone think that Han Chunming is going to die after winning and is arrogant.
"Exactly! Winning is such a big deal, right? How can you say something someone else likes is a fake?"
"I knew Han Chunming was no good!" "What the hell is this?!"
The people around began to discuss in low voices, probably thinking that Han Chunming's behavior was a bit unkind.
If you win, you win. Just take the bet and it's done. How can you question other people's judgment?
Besides, the Yuan blue and white porcelain that Tang Tongtong liked was indeed a rare blue and white porcelain vase with a story, and its market price would definitely not be less than 100,000 yuan.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Jiang Xiaoxi couldn't stand it any longer and stood up to defend Han Chunming. "Chunming can't be wrong! Stop gossiping!"
"Then tell me, how come this Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase with a story is a fake?" someone followed up and challenged.
"you……"
Jiang Xiaoxi couldn't say it. Although she had followed Jiang Xu for a long time and learned a lot, she really couldn't do it when asked to identify something.
Seeing his granddaughter being humiliated, Jiang Xu couldn't bear to watch. He immediately pulled Jiang Xiaoxi back and said coldly, "Young friend Han will naturally explain the right and wrong of this matter. There's no need for everyone to be so aggressive, right?"
Jiang Xu is also an old fox. With just a few words, he not only dragged his granddaughter into trouble and pushed Han Chunming out, but also accused everyone of being aggressive. He is really cunning.
Han Chunming gave Jiang Xu a thumbs up in his heart. This was the real experience.
"Han Chunming, since you said that the Yuan blue and white porcelain I liked is a fake, then just tell me and make me admit defeat sincerely." Tang Tongtong stopped calling him Mr. and asked in a cold voice.
Hou Polan was also a little anxious. He was really worried that Han Chunming couldn't explain it clearly.
"Brother, are you okay? If not, let's retreat!" Marquis Polan whispered in Han Chunming's ear.
"Why should I retreat? I am the winner." Han Chunming said with a smile.
"Let's quit while we're ahead!" Hou Polan was getting mad with anxiety.
But Han Chunming no longer paid any attention to Hou Paola. He took a step forward and prepared to start his performance.
"This Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase depicts Yuchi Gong riding alone to save his master. The painting is exquisite and the figures are vivid and lifelike."
Han Chunming spoke slowly and began to appreciate the blue and white porcelain vase. He also picked up the high-power magnifying glass on the table and observed the porcelain vase.
Of course, he kept talking: "The reason why this blue and white story porcelain is valuable is that before the Yuan Dynasty, there was basically no story porcelain. It only gradually appeared after the Yuan Dynasty. To paint on porcelain, it is not only a test of painting skills, but also a mastery of porcelain kiln ink. A little more kiln ink or a wrong stroke when painting, the porcelain is considered ruined."
Having said that, Han Chunming stood up straight, put down the magnifying glass in his hand, and continued to look leisurely.
"Because porcelain with this story is difficult to make, a piece of blue and white porcelain with this story that has been handed down can be worth as much as 100,000 yuan. This is absolutely true."
According to Han Chunming's current statement, Tang Tongtong's blue and white porcelain vase should indeed be worth a lot of money, but why does Han Chunming still say it is a fake?
"I don't want to hear your nonsense. We all know how valuable this blue and white porcelain is." Tang Tongtong could no longer suppress her impatience. "I just want to know, what makes you say the piece I chose is a fake?"
Looking at the completely bewildered Tang Tongtong, Han Chunming couldn't help but laugh, "Little girl, you really wanted to beat me so badly that you misjudged me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have made such an obvious mistake."
"What?"
Tang Tongtong was confused, and so were the people around her. Zhuang Mo didn't understand what Han Chunming was talking about.
He was the one who clearly explained what was wrong with the blue and white porcelain vase. What was he talking about?
Han Chunming was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he pulled a chair over and sat down. Then he spoke slowly.
"Ms. Tang, do you know anything about bubbles?"
