Chapter 1817 Civilization disguised as a country

"I have nothing to do with her."

Xu Dong spread his hands and looked helpless.

"Um."

A bright smile suddenly appeared on Anna's face: "Xu, you are so kind to me. After the treasure appraisal conference is over, I will invite the female classmates to come over for swimming. I know what you want to see."

"Uh...what do you mean?"

Xu Dong's face suddenly stiffened.

"Yesterday you and Master Guo were lying in the flower garden. I saw it. Later, you felt that the view was not good and you climbed up a big tree. I also know it."

Anna suddenly covered her mouth and laughed shyly.

"Don't worry, I will invite many female classmates over. They all have great figures."

"puff!"

Xu Dong just took a sip of water to relieve his embarrassment, and he couldn't help but spit out, "You use the word "prestige" very well!"

Oops, I got caught. It’s so embarrassing. It’s all Guo Youdao’s fault.

"I overheard you and Master Guo talking. You said I have a great figure."

Two blushes appeared on Anna's pretty face.

"Ahem, well, let's not talk about this for now. The treasure appraisal conference is about to begin. Let's sit there!"

Xu Dong coughed twice, and with everyone's envious eyes, he came to the judges' table and sat down slowly.

Then, he didn't dare to look at Anna, but looked at the surrounding environment.

Next to the square, there are many paintings arranged, including ink paintings, which are obviously Chinese style, and oil paintings, which are quite magical.

In addition, there are many portrait sketches and landscape depictions, which are extremely artistic.

In addition, there is also a display cabinet in the middle of the square. The glass is three-layer bulletproof glass. There are antiques from different ages in it, both from the East and the West. It is obviously used by the government as a window dressing.

Xu Dong took a glance and found no antique similar to the bronze bell, so he simply closed his eyes and rested.

As time goes by, more and more people enter the venue.

The process of this treasure appraisal conference is very simple, that is, private collectors take out their own treasures and find experts for appraisal.

>

In normal times, experts will charge a certain appraisal fee, but at the conference, they will not charge a penny.

In addition, free trading is also allowed.

Whether it is judges from Tibetan friends or representatives of major families, as long as the price is agreed upon, the formalities can be completed on the spot.

The procedures are officially witnessed and have legal effect.

"Master Nack, please help me identify it."

"Master Nak, nice to meet you."

It has to be said that Nak is still very famous in Pali. After the treasure appraisal conference started, many collectors came over excitedly.

This made Nack couldn't help but raise his eyebrows proudly, "Although the Grace family has three judges' seats, in my opinion, it is completely unnecessary. I am enough."

"Looking at how this guy is showing off, it makes me so angry."

Guo Youdao was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he was also helpless.

He just came here and is not famous yet. How can anyone believe in his level of determination!

On the other hand, Xu Dong next to him yawned lazily.

He didn't come here to appraise treasures for others, so he had little interest.

"Don't worry, everyone, come one by one."

Nak calmed everyone down and soon saw the first collection.

This is a bronze tripod with red spots and green embroidery all over it, which is very scary.

"Master Nake, this is an ancestral item in my family. It is said to be a big treasure obtained from China. It seems to be from the Liao Dynasty." This Tibetan friend said mysteriously.

"From the Liao Dynasty?"

Nak was slightly startled, and his expression became a little more solemn.

The antiques of China are recognized as the most numerous in the world, so he is also very proficient in Chinese culture and has a good knowledge of various histories.

"Yes, it's from the Liao Dynasty." As he said that, the Tibetan friend turned over the bronze tripod, "

Look below, there is a seal! It is said to be the signature of a famous craftsman."

“Sure enough, it’s signed!”

Nak was shocked when he saw it.

However, he quickly frowned again, why was the style of this signature different from what he usually saw...

And this font is obviously not the Xiaozhuan he studied...

"puff!"

"I was scared to death. I thought there was a bronze tripod from the Liao Dynasty!" .??.

Guo Youdao laughed loudly next to him and gave the Tibetan friend a thumbs up, "It's from the Liao Dynasty. I almost lost my conversation with you."

"Did you see these four words? Made in China!"

"Do you understand what it means?"

Xu Dong was also happy beside him. This was obviously a simplified Chinese character, which was incomparable with the eight poles of the Liao Dynasty.

"Um, this collector, your things are fakes, do you understand?"

Nak coughed twice.

"Fake? Impossible. This is an heirloom in my family."

The Tibetan friend was stunned and couldn't believe it.

"Since it's passed down from ancestors, let's keep it! After a few hundred years, it might become an antique." Guo Youdao said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you for the expert's advice. Thank you, expert. I will keep it well."

The Tibetan friend left with satisfaction.

"He came to me for identification. It has nothing to do with you. Can you just shut up?"

As soon as the Tibetan friend left, Nack looked at Guo Youdao with an unkind look, feeling that he had stolen his limelight.

"This thing is fake at first glance. You still need to look at it for so long. It's obviously unprofessional!"

Guo Youdao took a sip of water and expressed strong disdain for Nak.

"I am being cautious, professional and responsible. Do you understand?"

Nak roared loudly.

"Okay, okay, you're awesome, keep on, keep on."

Guo Youdao showed off

He waved his hand and didn't bother with this old boy.

Nak glared at him bitterly before letting the next Tibetan friend step forward.

Some of these collectors are locals, but 80% of them come from other countries. They have a variety of things in their hands, including Western-style vases, gilt spoons, and rare stamps.

But at least 60% of these things are related to China.

"Three of the four major civilizations have disappeared. Only China has inherited it to this day. It has a long history and is not comparable to other countries."

"There is another saying that China is not a country, but a civilization disguised as a country."

Guo Youdao sighed, then raised his finger and pointed at a porcelain bowl, and continued, "You see, China is like a cow. Even an ordinary blue and white porcelain bowl produced by these foreigners can be regarded as an antique."

Xu Dong glanced in the direction he was pointing, and was surprised to find five words written under the porcelain bowl: Suitable for microwave ovens.

But the collector carefully held it in his arms, like a rare treasure.

"It's interesting!"

Xu Dong laughed.

I have to say that what Guo Youdao said still makes some sense.

The whole world knows that China has the longest culture and the most antiques, especially those porcelains, which are unique, and any piece can be sold for a sky-high price.

Therefore, these people will think that whatever pots and jars they encounter are antiques, which is actually a bit funny.

At this time, a commotion suddenly came from the crowd.

"It's Mr. Lawrence here!"

"Mr. Lawrence!"

"Would you please come in?"

Many Tibetan friends gathered around and greeted a young man.

This man was over 1.8 meters tall, with a handsome face and a sense of arrogance in his movements.

"Who is such a big name?" Guo Youdao asked curiously.
