The warehouse of Beijing University is very large, and there are specialized employees working here. Li Mo followed the school leaders into the warehouse and saw rows of steel structure shelves filled with various things.

Each row and each floor is clearly numbered, and each piece of goods also has a unique number.

"The teaching props are placed in the second warehouse. Just keep walking inward and pass through this warehouse until there is a door at the end."

The staff in charge of warehouse management looked cautious, thinking that there was something wrong with their work, but actually a school leader came directly with a team of security guards.

The second warehouse is smaller in space and mainly stores various teaching props. In addition to hundreds of various porcelains, there are also many sculptures of different shapes on the shelves and calligraphy and paintings in boxes.

, and the Four Treasures of the Study, etc.

In terms of area, it should be as large as four Guyunxuan and a large antique shop.

"Li Mo, the things in this are all purchased by Peking University for teaching purposes over the years. Because there is wear and tear every year, the school will purchase a batch of spare replacements."

Dean Gao pointed to the two rows of shelves with porcelain and said: "A lot of porcelain has been eliminated before, and I don't know if there are genuine ones covered with dust. Li Mo, today we will accompany you to sort it out."

"Dean Gao, how many pieces of porcelain are there in total?"

Dean Gao looked at the warehouse staff, she thought for a moment and said: "I can't remember the exact number, but the number of porcelains in this warehouse must be more than 380, and there are more than 100 in the third warehouse.

There are pieces of damaged porcelain to be scrapped, and the total number exceeds 500 pieces."

It’s too deceiving. If you use different eyes to identify so many porcelains, you can probably finish the work in ten minutes. But with a few people around, you don’t know how many days it will take to identify them one by one.

Li Mo was a little depressed, feeling like he was shooting himself in the foot. He decided to fight quickly and not delay.

"Dean Gao, the flashlight and magnifying glass that Li Mo needs to use are here." A security guard ran to the faculty building and took them from Professor Zhang's desk.

"Then I'll start."

Li Mo walked to a shelf. There were three floors in total. He started to look at the top shelf. When he shined his flashlight on it, anything that looked like a fake would pass right by. If something looked suspicious, use his iris to look at it.

He took steps and moved forward slowly.

"Director You, what is he doing? Why don't you take a look at it, so that you can judge the authenticity at a glance?"

Director You had never seen him take action before, so he was a little confused, but he just whispered: "The professors and experts in the history department admire his ability to identify treasures, so his eyesight is naturally better than we imagined.

sharp."

Dean Gao nodded. Some people are born to eat this bowl of rice. Look at how much glory Mr. Li has brought to Peking University in just a few months. Now, the research funding of his superiors has been tilted towards the history department for three consecutive months.

.

It is estimated that there will be more this month. Because Xiang Yu's treasure was born, the professors stayed in Yuezhou like a chicken blood and never came back, which made the teaching schedule at the beginning of the new semester a bit tense.

"Hey, I really found one."

Li Mo moved the small ladder, took three steps upward, and moved down a blue and white plum vase from the top floor.

It only took less than three minutes to find an authentic product. Dean Gao and the others were refreshed and hurriedly walked to him.

"Li Mo, which dynasty's blue and white plum vase is this?" After all, Professor Zhang often comes into contact with antiques, so he still knows something about it.

Li Mo turned the bottom of the plum vase over, and everyone saw that there was a blue and white inscription on the bottom, made in the Yongle year of the Ming Dynasty, in seal script, with six characters in two rows, and a standard official kiln base.

"Is this the blue and white plum vase from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty?"

Professor Zhang exclaimed.

"Professor Zhang, is this Yongle blue and white plum vase very precious?"

"It's very precious. I remember there was an auction record for an authentic blue and white plum vase from Yongle, worth nearly 200 million."

When Professor Zhang said this, Dean Gao and Director You were not calm. They had just identified a Ming Hongwu underglaze red jade spring vase worth 150 million, and now they found a Ming Yongle blue and white plum vase worth nearly 200 million.

Are the current national treasure porcelains all Chinese cabbage?

Li Mo looked through several plum vases, looked at them a few times with a flashlight, and then motioned for everyone to take two steps back.

"Silence."

He suddenly held the plum vase across his left arm, curled his fingers with his right hand, and put his ear close to listen to the sound coming from the vase.

"pity."

Li Mo's words of pity made several people with ugly faces come back to their senses.

"Li Mo, is this plum vase a fake?"

Li Mo nodded, but then said: "You have probably all heard of the case of the Nine-Finger Thief. The antique porcelain they forged can look real, and it is definitely a masterpiece among modern handicrafts. The same is true for this plum vase, but it is not modern.

It’s a handicraft, but a fake from the mid-Qing Dynasty.”

"The case of the Nine-Finger Thief is naturally clear. The most important imitations they make are old porcelain and new porcelain."

Although Professor Zhang is not an expert in porcelain identification, he has discussed those cases with other professors.

"Yes, this plum vase was made using the same technique, with an old base and new porcelain, but the imitator was a skilled craftsman from the mid-Qing Dynasty. All in all, this plum vase has a history of more than two hundred years."

Li Mo put the plum vase into Professor Zhang's hand and said: "If this plum vase is leaked into the society and used by someone with intentions, it can be sold for a sky-high price as a fake. We still need to think carefully about how to deal with it properly."

"Actually, I think this plum vase imitating the Yongle style of the Ming Dynasty in the mid-Qing Dynasty is of great historical significance. If it is displayed in a museum, it will also be a very good antique."

"Yes, that's a better idea."

Dean Gao and Director You nodded repeatedly. Although the value is not as good as the original plum vase from Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, it can still be regarded as a handicraft from the mid-Qing Dynasty. Its historical and artistic value are equally high.

"Bring over the safe and put away this plum vase from the middle Qing Dynasty."

At the very beginning, an antique with a tortuous origin was identified. The leaders who accompanied him immediately became energetic. Li Mo was really a treasure.

Li Mo took a flashlight and continued to search forward. There were almost more than a hundred porcelain on the top shelf of the first row of shelves. After searching them all, except for the imitation antique from the mid-Qing Dynasty, the rest were all garbage, including a piece of junk.

There are no exquisite pieces among modern handicrafts.

Next, he started looking for the second floor from the beginning. He took photos one by one and kept shaking his head. It seemed that finding one thing in the warehouse was already a pretty good achievement.

Time passed little by little, and Li Mo began to search for the third floor, which was also the bottom floor. There were many large porcelains on the lower floor. Maybe the light from the top could not illuminate the bottom floor, so it looked a bit dark.

Especially for those large porcelains, I might be afraid of accidentally knocking them over, so I stuff them closer to the inside. If I don't use a flashlight to shine through them, I can't even see what style they are.

Li Mo squatted down and scanned them one by one with his flashlight. When he was in the middle, his light fell on a large bottle.

He looked at it for more than ten seconds, and the sight of the strange pupils enveloped it. A light gray halo was transmitted from the big bottle, spreading out dozens of circles of light.
