Chapter 48 Top 200 Antique Markets

Li Xiaoshuai smiled and said, is the incense burner with shoe polish necessarily fake?

Ai Hua said with a big laugh, what my brother said is interesting, I like it.

Luo Yang thought that he was right, is it true that the incense burner can’t be used for shoe polish? Maybe the stall owner is an illiterate person who bought a real incense burner, but he wanted to put some shoe polish on it for fear of not being able to sell it.

“Okay, it’s a riddle.” Zhang Ruoxuan asked Li Xiaoshuai to tell the inside story quickly.

Li Xiaoshuai said, I need a stove, a pot, and some items to restore this incense burner, and then he reported a series of items.

“I’m an old mage, I’m waiting to open my eyes today.” Cao Ping laughed.

Seeing that Ai Hua was seeing Cao Ping’s true face for the first time, Luo Yang gave him a deep look, his eyes full of disdain and disgust.

After a while, Zhang Ruoxuan came back with some things in his hand.

I saw him put the electric stove away, sit on a large aluminum pot, plug in the wires and wait for the water to boil.

The two neighbor shopkeepers also asked Zhang Ruoxuan, what’s going on, do you still have to cook?

Zhang Ruoxuan has always been Li Xiaoshuai, what this little brother wants me to do, I will listen to him, I believe there will be results soon.

Luo Yang was full of anger. He wanted to have a seizure, but he looked around. The victim, Li Xiaoshuai, was chatting with Ai Hua in a leisurely manner, while the old bronze master Cao Ping and the two shopkeepers next door were confused. .

Even he himself didn’t know what Li Xiaoshuai wanted to do, so he could only endure it, and only the final result would happen.

He was still praying secretly in his heart that God would bless Li Xiaoshuai’s trick to be successful.

After a while, the water in the pot boiled, and the steam that came out made the lid of the pot pop.

I saw Li Xiaoshuai tied a rope to the ear of the copper incense burner, and then took the rope and put the copper burner into a pot of boiling water to cook, holding a length of rope in his hand.

As soon as he put it down, Luo Yang saw that the shoe polish on the copper stove melted immediately, and a layer of oil slick appeared on the water in the pot.

About ten minutes later, Li Xiaoshuai lifted the rope, and the copper stove was naturally hung up, “Well, it’s almost the same once again.”

He asked Zhang Ruoxuan to pour out the water in the pot again, and then cleaned it up again.

Taking advantage of the time to boil the water again, Li Xiaoshuai also rubbed the copper stove with the rolled paper he bought, trying to wipe off the greasy horns and corners on the copper stove.

He also smelled the smell himself, “There is no odor.”

Cao Ping said with a smile, even if you cooked the copper stove, that’s a fake!

“Don’t worry, I’ll let you change your mind.”

With these words, Luo Yang’s confidence greatly increased, and everyone present was even more reluctant to leave. Everyone’s eyes widened for fear of missing a small detail.

Luo Yang also saw that Zhang Ruoxuan’s little apprentice also took out his mobile phone and was shooting, and it was estimated that he wanted to take a video and learn slowly.

Just at this time, the water in the pot boiled again, and Li Xiaoshuai took the copper stove and put it in the boiling water again. When it was hot this time, there was no oil slick on the water.

A few minutes later, Li Xiaoshuai took the copper stove out of the pot again and started wiping it while it was still hot. Soon; the copper censer was clean.

Putting the incense burner on the table, Luo Yang looked at it carefully, and felt that this copper burner, which the old mage judged to be a fake, suddenly seemed to have some antique charm.

He exclaimed, “Xuande stove!”

Ai Hua and Zhang Ruoxuan also watched and watched, their faces were incredulous, and they told Li Xiaoshuai to continue.

Cao Ping said something again. If it was a Xuande stove, there should be a Baoguang radiating from the stove. Now this stove looks dry, where is the Baoguang?

Without Baoguang, who would admit that this is only a Xuande furnace?

“Uh” Although Luo Yang was Li Xiaoshuai’s cousin, he had to admit that what Cao Ping said was right.

Li Xiaoshuai said with a smile, “I’m optimistic, the ugly duckling will soon become a white swan.”

“Cut” Cao Ping was still in a stance of disbelief.

Li Xiaoshuai did not refute, but picked up a piece of fatty meat skin with chopsticks from the plastic bag brought by Zhang Ruoxuan, and baked all the copper stove and meat skin on the fire.

After the fat on the skin was sizzling out, it was quickly rubbed on the copper stove, wiping the whole body of the copper stove all over.

Cao Ping smiled and said, this is a lard stove, not a Xuande stove.

“It’ll be fine soon,” Li Xiaoshuai replied while wiping his hands quickly.

Strange to say, this boiled copper stove was originally dry and had no luster at all. After being wiped with lard, it became a little oily, and the charm was born.

This happened twice in a row. When Li Xiaoshuai put the copper stove on the table again, everyone exclaimed: “Bao Guang! Bao Guang is out!”

When everyone saw this incense burner, they felt that it was dignified and grand, quiet and calm, subtle and introverted, and there was a faint luster emerging from the inside of the incense burner.

Zhang Ruoxuan shouted: “This is only a good incense burner! Late Ming, Bao Zhen, Bao Lao!”

Luo Yang, who was full of anger, was even more crazy. He threatened, “Who wants to say that this stove is fake, Niang Xipi, I just kicked him!”

Ai Hua slapped Li Xiaoshuai on the shoulder and said, I have seen with my own eyes what it means to turn corruption into magic, brother, you are so capable.

Li Xiaoshuai said with a smile, brother, can you be gentle, my shoulders will be slapped away by you.

“Oh,” Ai Hua smiled and put his hand away, “I have taken this incense burner!”

Zhang Ruoxuan grabbed the copper furnace and said, this baby was born in my family, so it should belong to me. “Thirty-five thousand dollars, I’ll hit your account right away.”

Ai Hua said with a smile: “This old man, it’s quite quick to let go.”

As Li Xiaoshuai’s own cell phone made a crisp “ding” sound, Luo Yang knew that the deal was considered complete.

Luo Yang watched the whole process of buying, cleaning, and selling this copper incense burner. He was not at all jealous of Li Xiaoshuai’s 200,000 income this time. Instead, he admired and marveled.

“My cousin’s level is not one or two points higher than mine, but he can be my teacher. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com”

“Ha, it’s so lively here.” Three more people came in from outside, one was a middle-aged and elderly person from the Rabbit Country, and the other two were Americans, and Li Xiaoshuai knew them all.

“Cook, Laamsey, why did you all come to Rabbit Country?”

When old people met thousands of miles away, Cook was also very surprised to see Li Xiaoshuai. He even came up and hugged Li Xiaoshuai, “Hi; Li; I never thought we could meet here again.”

Then Laamsi also stepped forward and shook hands with Li Xiaoshuai.

After sitting down, Li Xiaoshuai also introduced to Luo Yang that this Cook was an oil painting appraiser, and he appraised his own “Paul III”.

Luo Yang also deliberately exclaimed, “Wow, the famous painting and calligraphy worth 9.75 million US dollars that he sent for shooting was identified by him. The real person is amazing.”

Ai Hua: “What, what, the cover on the Christie’s auction catalogue this year, it turned out to be given by you, and it was auctioned for 9.75 million US dollars?”

Li Xiaoshuai said shyly, there is such a thing, the appraiser at that time was Cook.

Cao Ping thought about it carefully. He remembered that the cover of this catalogue was really an oil painting, but he didn’t expect it to be given by the little guy in front of him, and it cost nearly ten million dollars.

This is a capable man, he can’t help but respect Li Xiaoshuai a lot.

Later, Li Xiaoshuai introduced Layamsi and said that he was also a very powerful ancient ceramic appraiser.

The middle-aged man from the Rabbit Country who came with him was introduced by Zhang Ruoxuan in the end. This one is also quite powerful. His name is Shen Nan, and he is a porcelain expert from the Zhejiang Provincial Museum.

As for why these three got together, they came to talk about cooperation. Today is a rare rest, and Shen Nan specially brought two foreigners to experience the atmosphere of the folk collection under the rabbit.
