Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

Also, because of the renovation, I took a few days off, so I'm afraid my salary this month will be much lower.

It would be great if he could travel back to ancient times. At that time, he would... Well, he didn't seem to know how to farm, and studying would probably be difficult too, after all, he couldn't even understand ancient Chinese.

I'm afraid I don't have the physical strength to join the army.

Being a bandit? In ancient times, being a bandit also required a strong physique, otherwise getting sick in the dense forest could cost you your life.

It’s better to be an ox or a horse now. If you travel back in time, you may not even be able to be an ox or a horse.

Qi Cheng really wanted to go to work, but he received news that today was another day off. He lay on the bed and shook his head helplessly. This class was really a mess.

When he woke up the next morning, the weather outside had improved. He didn't want to stay at home, but there was nothing fun to do there, so he decided to watch the live broadcast at home.

There happened to be a live broadcast of an antiques audition, which was quite interesting.

Watching an old man talking on the screen, the people outside the screen were puzzled. What was he talking about? I couldn't understand him at all.

What is tremolite and what is dog-blood jade?

However, some wealthy people understood that this was about the knowledge of antiques and jade, so people in later generations also like antiques.

The live broadcast continued, and an old man came up with a cup and said directly: "Do you know what this is? Do you know how much it is worth..."

"New... completely new..."

"You're talking nonsense! This is a genuine Chenghua Chicken Cup, worth over 100 million. You don't even recognize it. Why are you pretending to be an expert?"

"New, completely new..."

Ming Dynasty

Emperor Chenghua, Zhu Jianshen, was stunned. How much did they say this thing was worth? One hundred million! Impossible! How could it be worth that much?

How much food can one hundred million exchange for? According to the prices in later generations, it is... too much to count.

Or he could ask the imperial kiln to fire a few more.

"Your Majesty, do you think this thing is real?" Concubine Wan asked in a low voice.

"This is definitely fake. The painting is too crude. If the craftsman made this kind of stuff, I would have killed the eunuch guarding the imperial kiln long ago."

"I think we should have the imperial kiln make another batch and save it for rewarding ministers later."

The old man on the skylight who came to appraise the treasure finally left angrily, but before leaving he said that the cup was definitely real and the expert was definitely fake.

……

The live broadcast continued as an old man came up next. He took out a Ru kiln plate and a piece of paper from his pocket. He said, "This is a Ru kiln plate. Take a good look at the glaze. I tell you, there are only six in the Palace Museum, two in the Nanjing Museum, and I have five here."

"Do you know where I got this? I took it out from the Forbidden City during transportation. There's absolutely no problem with it!"

The expert picked it up and took a look at it, then shook his head and said it was definitely fake. This was a recently made handicraft and was not a real Ru kiln at all.

"You're talking nonsense! I've collected it for forty years. How could it be new? Do you know how to read it? If not, stop talking nonsense here, okay?"

The expert kept shaking his head, indicating that this was a new one.

Qing Dynasty

Hearing that there were Ru kiln items, Qianlong hurried out of the house and carefully looked at the objects on the ceiling. After just one glance, he concluded that it was a fake.

The aura is far from that of the palace.

"Heshen, do you think this thing was really left by his father?"

"Your Majesty, the antique business is quite complex. I heard that antique shop owners won't listen to stories like this, otherwise every piece would be real."

"Well, that makes some sense!"

Seeing that there was nothing good, Qianlong returned to the house and asked the eunuch to bring over a few paintings he liked so that he could take a closer look at them.

……

The old man refused to leave and even threatened to call the police to have the expert arrested.

"New, completely new, not a bit of age at all."

"You...you're new here too...just lie to me, you..."

The old man was finally persuaded to go down, and a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes came up and took out a ceramic four-handled bottle from his bag.

Tell the experts this stuff is absolutely real.

He picked it up himself by the river, it is definitely an ancient thing.

"Yes, this thing of yours is indeed old, it should be from the Han Dynasty, but it has no collection value or research value. You can keep it as a decoration."

The middle-aged man was very proud when he heard the first sentence. Among so many things, only his was the real one, and it must be worth a lot of money.

But he lost his composure after hearing the expert's second sentence. What do you mean it has no collection value? Doesn't that mean it is worthless? This pot of his is from the Han Dynasty.

How could it not be valuable?

"Isn't this pot from the Han Dynasty? Is it more valuable than Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain? ... You can't talk nonsense here. There are tens of thousands of people watching this live broadcast."

The expert explained to him that although this was from the Han Dynasty, it was just an ordinary kettle and was not worth much. Valuable antiques were also quite valuable in ancient times.

……

The common people of the Han Dynasty looked at this man arguing with the experts with a helpless smile on their faces. Almost every family had this thing and it was worthless.

It's just an ordinary kettle that's extraordinary.

"What is this person still arguing about? How much do you want to sell this broken kettle for?" a commoner asked in confusion, "I have several more at home."

"I have a few at home, and this one looks rough, even rougher than the two fake ones."

"Expensive things are used by the rich and powerful, not by ordinary people."

After this person was finally persuaded to leave, several more people came up with counterfeit items, and the experts explained to them one by one why the items were wrong.

The expressions on these people's faces were not right.

Tang Dynasty

Li Chengqian was stunned. He originally thought that the shop owner Qi Cheng met was weird enough, but after seeing these few, he felt that the boss was still not bad.

Today, these people on the sky screen are even sicker.

They dared to bring up anything. Although he didn't know what the good porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties looked like, it was definitely not like what they brought up.

It's so unnatural.

"Father, there are still no Tang Dynasty artifacts. Is it possible that there are fewer of us left?" Li Tai asked, hugging Li Shimin's arm. "And why are these people so crazy?"

"This isn't about identifying antiques. This is about bringing out these people's greed, anger, and ignorance. A small bottle can make them forget the principles of human conduct."

Li Shimin shook his head after he finished speaking.

"You two can't do this. Don't be fooled by external things. You should stick to your original heart."

……

While watching the live broadcast, Qi Cheng suddenly thought of the two things in his hands. He didn't buy these from the market, but they were passed down from the elders in his family.

But it looks very rough.

Good things are generally not in the hands of ordinary people.

He had an expert examine these two items carefully. Although they were from the Republic of China, they were not worth much. Qi Cheng also gladly accepted them, not originally thinking of selling them for money.

It’s just a thought left by the old man.
