    Wu Renmin said eagerly after hearing this: "Ah! How could it be possible? Lao Chang still swore to me at that time that he bought this thing from the family of a farmer whose ancestors had been a high official in the Qing court." Wang Mingcai heard this.  He frowned. He and Wu Renmin had been friends since childhood. When he saw Wu Renmin being so rude, he said earnestly: "Old Wu, it's nothing to belittle our industry, as long as we can learn a lesson, it's fine as you are now.  With such a mentality, I will still suffer in the future." Wu Renmin looked a little embarrassed after hearing this, and said with a smile: "I just didn't expect that Lao Chang would lie to me." Wang Mingcai shook his head: "You are too much.  It¡¯s easy to trust people. It¡¯s not that Lao Chang doesn¡¯t want to lie to you, he just wants to make more money from you. Now that he has made enough money and is ready to immigrate, of course he can cheat as much as he wants.¡± Wu Renmin seems to be quite serious.  Surprised, he said: "Lao Chang is preparing to immigrate? Why didn't I know about this?" Wang Mingcai said with a speechless face: "Almost everyone around me has heard the news, but you don't know it yet?" Wu Renmin was a little bit  He said awkwardly: "Didn't I go to the countryside to collect some goods recently? I just came back last night." Wang Mingcai sighed after hearing this: "You actually went to the countryside to collect goods again. I don't even know how to say good things about you.  "Wu Renmin waved his hand and said, "Lao Wang, don't worry, I'm not a fool. How can I be fooled so easily?" "You" Wang Mingcai tapped him a few times and said.  : "Forget it, I'll tell you after I've seen these things." "Okay!" Wu Renmin nodded, thinking about Wang Mingcai's words in his heart.  Some of them disagreed and felt that their friend was too unfounded.  Of course, he also knew that this was for his own good. He was prepared to listen to what his friends had to say, and if so, he would change it, and if not, he would encourage him.  Then, he turned his attention and asked Chu Chen: "Boss Chu, what's wrong with my blue and white jar?" While the two were talking just now, Chu Chen looked at other things.  Hearing this, he said: "Let's not talk about other things first. Let's just say that the very old marks on the jar are actually made, but the people who make them old are better. It looks natural, but it is made by people who use it.  It may be the method we are familiar with. "The method Chu Chen mentioned is to use potassium permanganate solution and mix in a little brown sugar.  Apply all over the body of the device, focusing on the bottom foot circle, and wipe with a dry cloth after about 48 hours.  Almost all the exposed areas and openings are purple-brown to varying degrees.  If you feel that the color of your feet is too dark, you can use washing powder to scrub them.  Sand with fine sandpaper to make the tire appear slightly white, like a glutinous rice tire.  It gives visual error.  Of course, it¡¯s quite simple to say.  It¡¯s not that easy to fake something real.  The distressing on Wu Renmin's blue and white jar does look more natural, and it is easy for ordinary collectors to notice it.  Of course, if this were not the case, Wu Renmin would not be able to buy it.  Wu Renmin was a little surprised when he heard this and asked: "Boss Chu, are you talking about sex?" Chu Chen nodded and said: "Yes, it is sex. Look here" As he said that, he put on the blue and white jar  Some old features and some flaws were pointed out one by one.  "Hey!" Wu Renmin sighed after hearing Chu Chen's explanation, with a bitter look on his face. However, his mentality was not bad, and he quickly adjusted, and then asked Chu Chen to help look at other things.  Wu Renmin was quite lucky. Except for the blue and white jar, the few things he brought at the beginning were all genuine. This made him relieved, but also a little painful. In his words, it was also genuine.  I don¡¯t know when the value of the remaining items will rise enough to make up for the loss of the blue and white jar.  Next, the last thing left was the piece of brocade that Wu Renmin took out.  Wang Mingcai was a little surprised when he saw the brocade and said: "This should be Yun brocade." Wu Renmin said slightly proudly: "Yes, it is Yun brocade. This Yun brocade is what I got from this trip to the countryside." Yun brocade is produced in  Jinling has a history of more than 1,500 years. In the Yuan Dynasty, Yun brocade became a special item for royal clothing. Later, the brocade weaving technology became increasingly mature and perfect. In the Qing Dynasty, there were quite a lot of varieties of Yun brocade. For this reason, the Qing government specially built Jinling in Jinling.  The "Jiangning Weaving Department" was established, and the weaving of Yun brocade flourished.  Yun brocade is mainly divided into four categories: "Zhujin", "Ku brocade", "Ku satin" and "Zhuanghua". Among them, the production process of "Zhuanghua" is extremely complicated, from pattern design, knotting to material selection, dyeing,  Winding, threading, weft binding, and machine loading all require multiple complex processes.  The weaving of makeup flowers is labor-intensive and time-consuming.  For a long time, Yunjin has retained its traditionalDue to the weaving method, each loom must be operated by two people, a jacquard worker and a weaver. A skilled worker can only weave a five-centimeter-long brocade at the end of a busy day.  Yunjin also uses a large amount of pure gold threads and pure silver threads in weaving, and it is also equipped with rare and valuable brocade threads such as multicolored velvet threads and peacock down with golden and green colors. This kind of production that uses exquisite materials and spares no effort is the most popular in the textile industry.  It is very rare, which makes Yunjin brocade magnificent and dazzling. As early as ancient times, there was a metaphor of "every inch of brocade is gold".  In the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, "Jinling Yunjin" has always been an offering for the palace, and its production has been monopolized by the government. This is recorded in the literature.  For example, Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty stated in "The Great Qing Hui Dian Case" that in the early years of Shunzhi, the imperial ceremonial dress, the clothes of the four seasons, and the court clothes of the palaces and princes and princesses were all handed over to Jinling and other three places for weaving in accordance with the regulations set by the Ministry of Rites.  For example, the emperor's dragon robe was, as usual, precisely designed and made by the top craftsmen of the Ruyi Pavilion at that time. After the emperor personally reviewed and approved it, a special messenger was sent to Jinling. The weavers supervised each process and calculated the amount of materials used for each garment.  , and after a certain amount of work is completed, a special officer will be sent to escort him back to Beijing on time.  The inscriptions on the "Jinling Yunjin" cultural relics that exist today truly reflect the strict supervision of the government. For example, the satin tail of the brocade material as a tribute collected in the Jinling Museum and the Jinling Yunjin Research Institute reads: "Jiangnan Weaving Minister Qinglin  ", "Jiangnan Weaving Minister Zeng Chong", "Jiangnan Weaving Minister Seventy-Four", "Jiangnan Weaving Bureau Made within", "Jiangnan Weaving Bureau Made within" and other inscriptions.  Like this piece of cloud brocade by Wu Renmin, the inscription left on the bottom is "Jiangnan Weaving Minister Seventy-Four".  After Chu Chen saw it.  He said, "Boss Wu, how much did you pay for this Yunjin?" "Thirty thousand yuan!" Wu Renmin gestured proudly.  I saw this expression on my friend¡¯s face.  Wang Mingcai frowned and said: "Lao Wu, you better not buy anything you don't understand from now on." Wu Renmin felt a little strange after hearing this: "Why, this is a beautiful and colorful dress, and it's still expensive at 30,000 yuan!" Wang Mingcai  Said: "Although this is makeup flower, it is actually hibiscus makeup." Wu Renmin was not surprised when he heard this: "What is the difference between this and makeup flower?" Wang Mingcai explained: "Hibiscus makeup also has colorful patterns on the satin base.  , but the color matching is not as complicated as that of the usual Zhuanghua and Jinbaodi. The two adjacent units on the same section have the same pattern, and the color matching is also the same, but there are several sections of different colors on the entire material. " "So.  The weaving speed is also faster. In the past, hibiscus flowers were often used in the patterns of this weaving method, so it was called "hibiscus makeup". Later, although hibiscus flowers were not used, all fabrics made with this weaving method were still called "hibiscus makeup".  '. This piece of brocade is made using this weaving method. " "In addition, the most important thing is, if I read it correctly, this piece of brocade should have been made in recent years.  Is that right?" Chu Chen nodded and said, "That's true" At this point, he explained the basis for his judgment.  After hearing the end, the muscles on Wu Renmin¡¯s face couldn¡¯t help but twitch.  After a while, he said depressedly: "Is it true that there are no good things in the countryside?" "It's not that there are no good things in the countryside, but there are few good things. Generally, there are more things." Wang Mingcai said, "Many people have  They think that there are still many good things hidden in the countryside. They generally feel that the rural areas were less affected during that special period. Secondly, many of the antiques in the countryside have been transferred from the landlords to the poor and lower-middle peasants.  They know the goods well and the prices are low. Also, farmers are honest and won¡¯t do fake things, so you can buy real things from them.¡± ¡°Therefore, many people go to rural areas and go to remote places.¡±  There is probably a treasure hidden there. Lao Wu, you think so too, right?" Wu Renmin said with a smile, "That's what I thought, but there's nothing wrong with that, right?" "Wrong! What a mistake!  " Wang Mingcai directly denied it and said: "I deny it. I thought so before, but the actual situation is very different from these reasons" Then, Wang Mingcai introduced his knowledge to Wu Renmin, and Chu Chen also thought deeply after hearing this.  Of course.  To be honest, no one dares to deny the existence of official kiln porcelain in rural areas. It is true that some people bought a piece of Ru kiln porcelain in the countryside and made a fortune. But in fact, as Wang Mingcai said, it is not that there are no porcelain in rural areas.  Things, but less good things and more mediocre things.  Most of the landowners in the countryside are like Zhou Papi. There may be gold buried underground in their homes, but it is unlikely that they have antiques. It is indeed possible for them to spend money to buy antiques, but it is relatively difficult. After all, they  Their cultural level is not high, and in their hearts, if you want to preserve value, gold and silver are more practical.  ¡°There are no antiques in the homes of these wealthy landlords, so naturally there will be no antiques in the hands of poor and lower-middle peasants.  This is the majority of cases, and there are also some special cases.  Some official and scholarly families do have something. These families are famous. If the superiors already knew about it, how could they still distribute it to the poor and lower-middle peasants?  In addition, things in rural areas are generally not cheap. Why?  Because the farmers in our country are too poor, the only things they think are valuable may be those two pots and jars, and they count on them. Can they be sold to you very cheaply?  The more people asked him to buy it, the less he dared to sell it, and the higher the asking price became. Because he did not understand the true value of the item at all, he had to raise the price sharply to avoid suffering a loss.  Of course, Chu Chen couldn't deny that in the 1900s, farmers sold their things cheaply because they had never seen the market. But now is the era of the information explosion. With the gradual popularization of television and the Internet, antiques are sold  Basically, most people know about the sky-high price, and the farmer is not stupid. He has something, how can he sell it at a low price?  Chu Chen has met many shovels and collectors who like to travel to rural areas in the past few years. None of them have made big gains, and sometimes the purchase prices are quite expensive.  If you don¡¯t believe it, if you go to the countryside and buy a bowl from a folk kiln, it will definitely be more expensive than the one sold at a street stall in the city.  This is because those farmers do not know the difference between official and private kilns, so the prices of private kilns are based on the official kilns on TV.  Of course, because the peasant does not know the official kiln, if his family happens to have an official kiln, it is indeed possible to sell it cheaper. Chu Chen has also encountered this kind of thing two or three times, but as mentioned above, the peasant family is very  It's rare to find something from an official kiln. Chu Chen was lucky enough to encounter it two or three times.  Last but not least, the more remote the place, the less likely it is to go.  The more remote the place, the poorer it is. The poorer the place, the less valuable cultural relics and antiques there are. Even the wealthy landlords usually store food and a small amount of gold and silver. There is no doubt about this.  Just imagine, people in that place used to be so poor that they couldn't even afford pants. Would they have the money to buy antiques?  In addition, in a place like this, special attention needs to be paid to safety. When a person is poor, he is likely to do anything for money. If you ask people everywhere to buy antiques, others will think that you have a lot of money. Don't you think about it?  Is your personal safety?  In the end, if you don't buy the antique, you will lose your money in the end. You can still earn back the lost money, but what if you also lose your life?  After hearing the end, Wu Renmin said: "Lao Wang, what you said does make sense, but apart from others, Boss Liang also went to the countryside to collect goods, so he got rich!" "Don't look at that, Boss Liang went to the countryside.  In what era did he collect goods?" Wang Mingcai said: "He started going to the countryside to collect goods in the 1980s. At that time, he did not dare to collect goods openly for fear of being caught. It was not until 1985 that everyone liberated their minds and he gave up.  "But you can't even imagine the hard work involved." "Moreover, the good times didn't last long. By the 1990s, some unscrupulous people were making fake goods on a large scale, and some unscrupulous people even brought fake goods to the countryside and put them in the countryside.  Put it in the homes of farmers, honest land reformers, and poor landlords. "Then make up a story, ask the landowners or landowners to memorize it, and give them a price. If you don't have so much money, you can't sell it."  Just waiting for the collectors in the city to come. At that time, Boss Liang also suffered several losses. If you don¡¯t believe that you will have a chance next time, you can ask him personally. " Wu Renmin still didn¡¯t give up when he heard this.  "Old Wang, don't you run to the countryside from time to time?" Wang Mingcai said with a smile: "I do run to the countryside from time to time, but I have long stopped being a shovel. When I go to the countryside, I have to be informed by informants.  Yes, you think you can just go there without stepping on a landmine! If you don¡¯t believe me, ask Boss Chu if he would go to the countryside to see the goods by himself without being notified by an informant?¡± Seeing Wu Renmin looking at him?  , Chu Chen took over and said: "If there are no informants or familiar friends, I really don't dare to run to the countryside, otherwise it is very likely that I will be hit by a 'land mine'. You have to know that we collectors are smarter.  People who plant landmines seem to be smarter. " "For example, isn't this your hometown? He used fake Huang Binhong's early paintings as landmines and placed them in farmers' homes. If you investigate, he  My ancestor really had a relationship with Huang Binhong, and those paintings seemed to be real, so I accidentally caught a mine. " "In addition, the landmine diggers also know how to prescribe the right medicine. What kind of collectors are there in a certain area?  They have already done in-depth and detailed research on what they like, and have prepared special mines that can be exploded accurately. If you don't believe it, you can do an experiment. You can go to a strange rural area and act like you have a lot of money.  Specify that you want porcelain or something.""The first time, you can't see anything. After half a month, you go again, and you may see a little something. You shake your head and say that this thing is too low-end. Half a month later, you go for the third time, I'm sure  You can see the official kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even the five major official kilns of the Song Dynasty."
