    After receiving Chu Chen's compliment, Zuo Shan scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "But, I don't know if that person is the old monster Ding you mentioned." Chu Chen was slightly startled and asked, "Did you see that?  What does that person look like?¡± After Zuo Shan described the person¡¯s appearance, Chu Chen smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s not like he looks exactly like the one on TV.¡±  Wrong?" Zuo Shan asked happily.  "It's definitely true, the person you saw is Old Monster Ding." Chu Chen smiled and nodded.  "Then I'm relieved, but why is this guy so sloppy?" Zuo Shan muttered.  Chu Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry about him, it's already noon, let's go, let's go to eat first." Zuo Shan shook his head: "The person monitoring Old Weird Ding hasn't arrived yet, I'd better wait here for a while  "Not yet? How long has it been? I'll call and ask." Chu Chen frowned and then took out his phone to dial.  At this time, Zuo Shan suddenly said: "Wait a minute, they have arrived, over there." Chu Chen looked in the direction of Zuo Shan's finger and found an inconspicuous minivan parked over there, with someone inside.  He waved to them.  To be on the safe side, Chu Chen asked Zuo Shan to investigate, while he took Jia Yuqiang to a restaurant not far away, asked for a private room and ordered food.  When the waiter walked out of the box, Zuo Shan also came back to inquire about the news. He made an OK gesture to Chu Chen and said: "It is indeed the people sent by Mr. Liu. In addition, Mr. Liu also asked them to bring you a message. Let you  I¡¯ll go to his place after dinner.¡± ¡°Okay, I understand.¡± Chu Chen smiled and nodded, then he took out the Suan Ni statue and said with a smile, ¡°This is actually a statue.  Judging from the craftsmanship, the Suan Ni made of old Venus leaf red sandalwood should have been made by the palace manufacturing office during the Qianlong period. "Jia Yuqiang looked very surprised.  Venus is actually a common name in the collecting community. In fact, the professional term for Venus is the sediment in the "brown hole (brown eye)".  Specifically, the mineral components in the soil are deposited in the nutrient channels of the red sandalwood trunk all year round to form metal products in the brown pores, which have a metallic luster and form dots or lines. This is the so-called Venus.  Generally speaking.  Not all small-leaf rosewood trunks can produce Venus. They can only be formed under special soil conditions.  Because of this, Venus rosewood is hard to find in the market.  ¡°And this is old red sandalwood, so it is even more precious.  Why old rosewood?  This is because red sandalwood is famous for its delicate wood, especially after the distinction between old and new red sandalwood.  Everyone knows that old red sandalwood is more delicate and is characterized by "small brown eyes", so red sandalwood beads with small brown eyes are gradually favored by everyone.  Chu Chen nodded and said: "This is actually very easy to observe. Look at the arrangement of these dot-like light yellow substances" At this point, he took out a strong flashlight and pointed at the arrangement of the light yellow substances.  There will be reflected light when illuminated by light.  In addition, coupled with the characteristics of small-leaf rosewood, it is obvious that the material of this statue is Venus small-leaf rosewood.  ¡°It¡¯s really Venus microleaf rosewood.¡± Jia Yuqiang couldn¡¯t help but feel a little envious when he saw this.  Originally, there were not many Venus microleaf red sandalwoods, and they were old materials, and they were made by the palace manufacturing office during the Qianlong period. Such a thing could not be bought for tens of thousands of yuan.  However, Jia Yuqiang frowned again and asked: "Director Chu. Since this is Venus small-leaf red sandalwood, why does it look black and without any luster? This doesn't look like the characteristics that old red sandalwood should have, right?" Generally speaking, red sandalwood  There is a substance in wood.  The new cut surface is orange and has undergone a short period of oxidation.  The color will change.  From orange to orange to deep red, deep purple.  Many people say that red sandalwood will turn black in the later stage. This is a visual problem. Under sufficient light conditions, you will find that it is purple. You can verify this in any museum.  No matter how old the red sandalwood is, it has not turned black. Their final color is "purple".  Therefore, people have called it "purple" sandalwood since ancient times.  In this case, Jia Yuqiang is a little confused about how this statue became like this.  "It's not maintained well." Chu Chen said: "Some people who like to play with red sandalwood feel that it has turned black. On the one hand, it is due to the visual error caused by insufficient light. On the other hand, you  Playing a little "dirty" is the result of not knowing how to maintain it. " "Some people take care of their red sandalwood every day. They actually rub it with their hands, or even rub the oil secreted from their face. You must know that it is not just the beads that rub on it.  It's oil, sweat, mud, fineBacteria and so on.  After a few weeks of this, the beads will look black and shiny, with a thick layer of dirt on the surface. At this time, they mistakenly think that their beads have been patinated, which is actually a form of patina.  misunderstanding.  " "In fact, this patina is a form of improper maintenance of red sandalwood. Its existence greatly affects the beauty of red sandalwood, making it look dull like this statue.  In addition, if red sandalwood is not properly maintained, cracking is also a common phenomenon.  " After hearing these words, Jia Yuqiang said: "You mean, the reason why this statue is like this is because it was maintained in the wrong way?  "    "is not that right!  "As he said that, Chu Chen took out a white glove from his pocket and wiped it on the statue a few times: "The surface of the real patina is a smooth surface of glass body, clear and fluorescent, and it can be visually penetrated into the wood, that is.  As the saying goes, sometimes, rosewood can be used as a mirror instead of a layer of old putty.  Look, is it dirty?  " Seeing that the gloves turned from white to black, and the area where the statue was wiped was still a little brighter, Jia Yuqiang was also very speechless, and then he asked: "Then can the statue still recover?  " Chu Chen chuckled and replied: "I think the original owner didn't play with it for a long time, and the possibility of recovery is still very high.  " As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, the waiter began to serve the dishes. While everyone was eating and talking, Jia Yuqiang asked: "Director Chu, I also have red sandalwood beads at home. How can I make them patina?  " Chu Chen said: "It's easy to say, just use less hands and use a clean cloth. Generally, fine soft cotton is the best material for the cloth. The cotton should not be stained with grease, alcohol, detergent or other chemical ingredients.  Something else, the color of the beads will look very unnatural.  " Jia Yuqiang asked: "Why use soft cotton?  " "Some businesses now, in order to satisfy the enthusiastic pursuit of small brown eyes by wood friends, have come up with many ways to 'improve' the surface skin of red sandalwood.  " Chu Chen smiled meaningfully: "The most advanced machine I have ever seen can put red sandalwood beads in an alloy grinding disc, add water and grind them hard. The ground wood pulp is fully filled into the brown eyes, so that  The surface of the beads appears smooth and delicate, but if you play with it vigorously for a long time, the substance filling the brown eyes will slip off, so you can imagine the consequences of not using soft cotton.  " Jia Yuqiang was speechless and said: "Today's businessmen really do everything in order to make money!  " "Otherwise, why is it that money can make people go around!  " Chu Chen chuckled, and then said: "As for the patina, it is definitely a very slow process. As for how slow it is, I only know that my master has a bunch of red sandalwood beads that have been coiled for decades and have patina.  I have never seen it before. If you must give me a deadline, I think it will be more than ten years.  " Hearing that it would take ten years, Jia Yuqiang smiled bitterly and said: "Based on my personality, it seems that I have no chance to find out anything personally.  ¡± Next, the three of them chatted about red sandalwood and antiques while eating. In the end, Jia Yuqiang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, Chu Chen is indeed a well-known expert, his knowledge is so profound, and he doesn¡¯t know how he is so young at such a young age.  "Hey!"  Why hasn't he come back yet?  "Chu Chen asked a little strangely. Just now Jia Yuqiang said it was convenient to go to the bathroom, but it has been more than ten minutes. Why hasn't he come back? Did he fall into the toilet? Or did something happen to him? Chu Chen thought so  While walking, the door of the box suddenly opened, and a waiter ran in and said anxiously: "Your friend has been beaten, go and see!  After hearing the news, both Chu Chen and Zuo Shan were slightly startled. Could it be that Jia Yuqiang met a gangster? Chu Chen quickly stood up and asked: "Waiter, do you know what the reason is?"  Also, did you call the police?  " "The police and emergency services have been called. As for what happened to your friend, I'm not sure.  ¡± The waiter said: ¡°I just heard that your friend came out of the toilet and met other customers in our store. I don¡¯t know what happened, and they started to quarrel and finally started fighting. But there is only one friend of yours.  There were five men and one woman on the other side. He couldn't beat them at all, and he lay motionless on the ground after a while.  " Hearing that the matter had become so serious, Chu Chen quickly asked the waiter where Jia Yuqiang was now, and walked quickly towards the destination. When he reached the location mentioned by the waiter, Chu Chen saw a burly man  The bald man pointed at the security guard in front of him and cursed, but the security guard just kept asking the bald man to wait for the police to come over. He didn't say much else. He seemed to force him to force the breeze to blow over the hills. Seeing theseThe only young woman in her thirties looked just like Jia Yuqiang's previous description of the person he cheated on. Chu Chen could guess the reason for the conflict between the two parties without thinking too much.  ¡°The most likely possibility is that what they thought before was that the young woman in front of them had set up a trap for Jia Yuqiang, and now that Jia Yuqiang accidentally discovered her true appearance, how could he give up?  (To be continued) ps: Thank you "Xiaoting" for your monthly vote!
