    "Qiao Xi, you are looking at it from a modern perspective. Of course, silverware will not develop patina." Chu Chen explained with a smile: "You have to know that in ancient times, their technology was not as developed as it is now.  Therefore, it is normal for some alloys to exist among gold and silver products. Moreover, these silver plates should be a pair of unearthed artifacts, and there are likely to be copper products next to them. It is also very dangerous for them to be stained with patina.  "It's normal." Liu Sizhe shook his head and said, "Yeah, I knew this kind of thing when I was five or six years old. I don't know if that person understands antiques." Chu Chen said teasingly, "I don't know who it was yesterday.  I bought a fake there!" Hearing this, the three women all laughed to themselves. Liu Sizhe smiled and said: "It's not like people make mistakes and horses make mistakes. No matter what I do, I will never make such an obvious mistake!  "What mistake?" As soon as Liu Sizhe finished speaking, Wan Nianqing walked in with two brocade boxes, and immediately saw the pair of silver plates on the table.  "Hey, this pair of plates is pretty good. Can you let me get my hands on it?" "Please!" Chu Chen smiled and made a gesture of invitation.  Putting down the brocade box in his hand, Wan Niangqing carefully appreciated the pair of silver plates, and then praised: "What a pair of exquisite Song Dynasty silver plates. There are not many such good ones on the market. Xiao Chu, what are you doing?"  "Where did you buy it?" "It was at the stall just now!" Chu Chen replied.  "What?" Wan Nianqing was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a complaining face: "This Xiao Huang is really serious. He has such a good thing, but he didn't show it to me first! No!" At this point.  He seemed to have remembered something, and asked with some surprise on his face: "Xiao Chu. Could it be that you picked up these plates too?" Chu Chen chuckled and said, "I bought them for 26,000 HKD, so I picked them up."  It¡¯s just a leak!¡± Wan Nianqing exclaimed, ¡°My dear, three hundred thousand dollars is like a leak in your mouth! It seems that picking up leaks is just a piece of cake for you, Xiao Chu!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t dare.  It's just good luck!" Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand.  Seeing Chu Chen's statement, Wan Nianqing immediately understood that the joke he was making was actually a true portrayal of Chu Chen. While this surprised him, he also wanted to ask Chu Chen what kind of leak he had picked up, but  After all, the two parties were not very familiar with each other, and he was embarrassed to mention this issue.  So he turned his thoughts to the pair of silver plates.  Asked: "Xiao Chu, I wonder if you have any idea of ????taking action on this pair of silver plates?" Chu Chen smiled slightly and said: "Wan Lao, I also opened an antique shop in the capital. It will be officially opened on New Year's Day. This pair of silver plates  I prepared it for communication with colleagues that day, so I can only say sorry." With that, he handed Wan Nianqing his business card.  Wan Nianqing was slightly startled. He never expected that Chu Chen would open an antique shop at such a young age, but since Chu Chen had already said so.  He was embarrassed to speak again, so he said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, you are really young and promising! If I am free then, I will definitely come over and visit you!" "If you can come. Of course.  What an honor!" Chu Chen said with a smile.  Wan Nianqing chuckled and said: "Xiao Chu, let's take a look at these two things of mine. See if you like it!" "Okay!" Wan Nianqing opened the two boxes.  Inside the box were a piece of porcelain and a pair of jades.  Chu Chen first took the piece of porcelain into his hands, because he still liked porcelain more.  On the other hand, it is because the style of this piece of porcelain is quite special. It is actually a relatively rare dice bowl.  This kind of bowl is certainly not used for gambling.  It is just a style of bowl, so called because it resembles old gambling utensils.  However, there are different opinions on the purpose of this kind of bowl. Some say that it was used for games in the palace, for holding fruits, or for brush washing in the study room, and so on.  This kind of bowl was first created in the porcelain capital during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. The styles are all with an open rim, a shallow curved belly, a circle foot, and a thick body. The inside of the bowl is plain white, and the outside is mostly decorated with blue and white flowers or blue glaze.  The position of the money is either under the edge of the outer mouth or at the inner bottom of the vessel.  The same goes for the dice bowl in Chu Chen's hand.  This bowl is about 29 centimeters in diameter. The inside of the bowl is plain without patterns. The outside is decorated with blue and white patterns. The rim of the bowl is decorated with string patterns. The side walls around the foot are painted with tangled branches and curly grass, which is sparse and unique.  The abdominal wall is painted with various flowers on the branches, including peonies, chrysanthemums, hibiscus, lotus and other eight types of flowers. The painting work is exquisite and delicate, the lines are smooth and free, graceful and pleasant.  In addition, the bowl is decorated with a deformed lotus petal pattern near the foot of the circle, which is a dice.The bowl is decorated uniformly.  The six-character regular script "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" is written under the double string line along the mouth. The style is elegant and the writing style is fresh. It should be written by Emperor Xuande's royal pen as a model.  This bowl has thick white glaze, and the accumulated glaze is crisp and deep, commonly known as "bright green glaze".  The unglazed soles of the feet are covered with flint red spots. Under the red spots, a dense and hard body is exposed, which is a typical style of Xuande blue and white porcelain.  This bowl of blue and white is made of imported Su Nibo green material, which is slightly scattered and bright in color. There are iron crystal spots in the deep and bright parts, which penetrate deep into the fetal bones.  The decoration is painted with a small brush, and the brush strokes are round and smooth. The painted flowers have full branches and leaves, and the lines are elegant and free. Due to the high iron content of the cobalt material, the rich and elegant colors are harmonious and integrated. It can be said that the ink is full of interest and full of expression.  The ink painting is also in line with the characteristics of Xuande blue and white.  Therefore, this dice bowl, no matter from the shape, body, glaze, blue and white flowers, and painting skills, it must be authentic from the Xuande period, which is quite rare.  However, although this bowl is good, its market valuation is only about 1**100,000. If Chu Chen exchanges it for it, it goes without saying that he will definitely lose money.  Fortunately, Wan Qingnian was also an honest man. After Chu Chen put the bowl back in its place, he smiled and said: "Xiao Chu, I know the value of this bowl is not as good as those three silver coins. If you are willing  If you want to change it, you can go downstairs and choose the items you like, or I can give you money! " Wan Qingchang's attitude made Chu Chen very satisfied. You know, in the antique business, if you use objects  When exchanging items, it is impossible to say that two items must be of equal value. Generally, as long as they are about the same price and you particularly like them, you can exchange them.  Therefore, even if this bowl is one or two hundred thousand less than the three silver coins, if Chu Chen really likes it, he will still exchange it. This is called "a thousand pieces of gold cannot buy happiness" in the antique industry. Of course, if  If the difference in value is too big, then it's a different matter.  "Okay, let me take a look at this jade first!" Chu Chen smiled and nodded.  "Okay!" The object in the other brocade box is a pair of jade bis. This pair of jade bis have the same shape and pattern, and are both made of sapphire.  One side of the jade wall is decorated with grain patterns, and the other side is carved with flower patterns. The exquisite carvings, smooth lines, and sophisticated craftsmanship are typical characteristics of Han Dynasty jade. The unearthed traces are natural and very beautiful.  Chu Chen believes that if it is genuine, the value should be between 220,000 and 300,000 yuan.  As for why an "if" is added, it is because at a glance, the pair of jade walls look like genuine products in terms of shape, craftsmanship, unearthed traces and other features, but Chu Chen's current sixth sense  He has become more and more sensitive. As soon as the jade wall was in his hand, he felt a little strange in his heart. This immediately made him feel that there would probably be a problem with the jade wall.  Sure enough, although this pair of jade walls are made enough to look fake, they are still fake. Under the observation of a magnifying glass, some details of the jade walls are still different from the real ones.  But you must know that Chu Chen's eyesight is already quite terrifying now. Even for him, it is not easy to find those details. It is conceivable how terrifying this pair of jade walls are to fake the real ones.  Chu Chen put the jade wall back into the brocade box. At this time, he didn't know whether to talk about his discovery or not. After all, he and Wan Niangqing were not familiar with each other. The so-called friendship was not a good thing.  However, Wannianqing is still very good at observing words and expressions. From Chu Chen's expression, he vaguely saw some problems, which made him feel a little nervous, so he quickly asked: "Xiao Chu, is there any problem with this pair of Yubi?"  ?" Perhaps thinking of Chu Chen's thoughts, he added: "It doesn't matter if you just say it. I like to be direct. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiao Qian." Seeing Wan Nianqing say this,  Chu Chen said directly: "I'm not sure about this pair of jade walls!" Really worried about what happened, Wan Nianqing secretly shook his head, then frowned and said quickly: "Xiao Chu, I don't mean anything else.  I just want to ask you, where are these jade walls? " "It doesn't matter, our business is about communication! And it's right for you to ask!" Chu Chen waved his hand and then explained:  "Wan Lao, you must also know that in the Han Dynasty, the processing technology of ancient jade was still in a relatively primitive stage. When making jade, hand tools were basically used. Therefore, the traces on the jade are different from those of today's carved jade.  The traces left by the tools used are different. "For example, when unpacking jade in ancient times, primitive weight tools were used to bring water and quartz sand, or saws (leather or metal) were used to bring water and sand.  , due to the different thickness of the weight tools during the cutting process, or due to the strength when sawing.Uneven thickness, coupled with the uneven thickness of the sand grains, will cause unevenness on the surface of the flake material and leave concentric parabolas.  " Hearing this, Dieffenbachia nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, it is true!  " Chu Chen then explained: "Such traces are quite special. Generally speaking, no matter how superb modern people's imitation skills are, and no matter how close the tools they use are to ancient tools, some traces are still difficult to imitate.  For example, these places" (To be continued)
