Chapter 638: The most precious carving mother, systematic treasure appraisal, Mr. Guan
Han Chunming ate in a hurry, and then started busy again.
Zhou Chen looked at it for a while and felt that he could not help much, so he walked to the pile of copper coins that Han Chunming deemed to be worthless.
"Are these copper coins useless?"
Han Chunming replied: "Most of these are seriously damaged. The others are ordinary copper coins, not of much value. They are all given to you. You can keep them as souvenirs, or you can sell them as copper coins."
"You really don't want it anymore?"
"I really don't want it anymore, it's of no use."
Han Chunming didn't even raise his head, but continued to pick up a copper coin and read it.
Zhou Chen put on his gloves again and fiddled with the pile of useless copper coins a few times. Indeed, as Han Chunming said, these copper coins were basically rusty, and many of them were of the same style, from the Qing Dynasty.
, from the Republic of China, and from the Ming Dynasty.
He picked up a few coins and looked at them for a few times, and then he was about to throw them away, but the moment he threw them away, Shen Shen's system suddenly reacted, causing his expression to change suddenly.
"what happened?"
Zhou Chen's mind sank into the system panel, and he soon discovered that the task section of the system panel had changed.
I saw a few rows of writing suddenly appearing in the side mission section.
Side missions:
Collection Master: Ask the host to collect antiques from the five dynasties of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. The number of antiques from each dynasty is ten, the categories cannot be the same, and they must have a certain value. The specific value will be judged by the system.
Collected:
Tang Dynasty:0;
Song Dynasty:0;
Yuan Dynasty:0;
Ming Dynasty:0;
Qing Dynasty: 1 (Xianfeng Baoquan is worth five hundred carved mothers and brass carved mothers);
"Is this a carved mother? Or a precious copper coin recognized by the system?"
Zhou Chen didn't understand the preciousness of copper coins, but the sudden change in the system made him immediately realize that one of the few copper coins in his hand was a treasure.
Without having time to think about it, he immediately put the coins in front of his eyes and looked at them carefully.
There are a total of four copper coins in his hand, two of which are from the Guangxu period. One is so rusted that the inscriptions cannot be seen clearly. The remaining one is also rusty, but it looks pretty good. On the front are four Xianfeng Yuanbao coins.
The words are a little blurry on the back, but you can still see the words five hundred and two.
"Is this it?"
Zhou Chen put down the remaining three copper coins, and then carefully looked at the Xianfeng Yuanbao. Is this the carved mother that the system calls?
He didn't know much about copper coins, but he still knew what the so-called carved mother meant. The carved mother was the ancestral coin, which was also the money mold used to make the money.
There are very few carved mothers, but there are still some, but there are very few in the world. Is it because of this that this Xianfeng Baoquan is recognized by the system as having five hundred carved mothers and brass carved mothers?
A valuable antique?
But what he is most concerned about now is not this, but the sudden changes in the system. Why did the system suddenly change when he held this copper coin in his hand? Could it be that the system also has an automatic treasure identification function?
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen's heart beat suddenly. If this was the case, wouldn't it be easy for him to complete the side tasks of the system?
Fortunately, he had analyzed so many possibilities before and planned to rely on his own ability to learn treasure appraisal. But if the system itself has this function, then there is no need to learn it specifically.
But, is this really the case?
The sudden surprise did not last long for Zhou Chen, because he felt that things would not be so simple. If it were so simple, it would not conform to the style of the system at all.
Zhou Chen is a little confused about the changes in the system, but no matter what, it is a good thing for him. With the treasure identification function of the system, it will be much more convenient for him to collect antiques in the future.
At least before the main mission is completed, 99% of the time this side mission can be completed first.
"However, we still need to find a way to test this function."
Zhou Chen looked at the Xianfeng Yuanbao in his hand, thought about it, and thought of a possibility.
He placed the copper coin on the ground and looked at the system panel.
Then he discovered that the number 1 belonging to the Qing Dynasty in the branch task area of the system panel had not disappeared. This showed that even if it was not in his hand, as long as it belonged to him, it would be recognized by the system.
But before he helped Han Chunming take the copper coin bag, and he also held all the copper coins, why did the system not respond?
Zhou Chen suddenly thought of what Han Chunming said just now. He said that he would give this part of the useless copper coins to him. Is this the reason?
To be recognized by the system, it must belong to him. Only if something belongs to him can it be recognized by the system and be authenticated by the system?
After careful analysis, Zhou Chen felt that this possibility was the greatest. The system could not identify anything, but could only identify things that belonged to him.
And it will only identify valuable antiques related to side tasks. If they are not recognized by it, they will not be displayed.
There are so many copper coins here. He just caught several of them, but only this one was identified by the system, and the rest were not identified.
If this is the case, the system will not be sure whether it is an antique from before the Tang Dynasty, because the side task is only to collect antiques from the five major dynasties, and earlier ones are not within the scope of the task.
In a short period of time, Zhou Chen thought of countless possibilities and gradually sorted out the most likely ones.
But whether it is what he guessed, he still needs to slowly test and verify it in the future.
Zhou Chen took this Xianfeng Yuanbao carved mother and shouted to Han Chunming: "Chunming, look at this copper coin. Is it a carved mother?"
Han Chunming, who was looking at the copper coins, suddenly raised his head when he heard Zhou Chen's words: "Diao Mu?"
He naturally knew what the Diaomu was. He was surprised that Zhou Chen had just said he didn't understand copper coins, so why was he asked now if he was the Diaomu.
He looked at the copper coin in Zhou Chen's hand and asked in surprise: "Are you sure this is the carved mother?"
"It should be so. See for yourself."
Zhou Chen handed the Xianfeng Yuanbao carved mother to Han Chunming, and Han Chunming took it carefully. If it was really the carved mother, it would be different. It might be worth much more than this bag of copper coins.
"Xianfeng Yuanbao, five hundred, is it five hundred? This carving mark, this..."
The more he looked at it, the more solemn and solemn Han Chunming's face became. He turned over a small copper coin and looked at it carefully several times before finally raising his head.
"This is really the carved mother, Zhou Chen, where did you find it?"
"It's what you found in these useless copper coins you mentioned."
"I lost it?"
Han Chunming was dumbfounded, and then he exclaimed: "Impossible, how could I make such a mistake? This is obviously different from ordinary copper coins, how could I admit my mistake?"
Zhou Chen snatched the copper coins back from Han Chunming's hand and warned: "Chunming, you just said that this pile of copper coins was of no use and you gave them all to me. It's too late for you to regret it now.
"
Han Chunming's eyes were red, and he stared at the copper coins in Zhou Chen's hand. Suddenly his expression changed, showing flattery and flattery.
"Did I say it? I didn't say it. I definitely didn't say it. Zhou Chen, you must have misunderstood. Show me the carved mother again and I will study it further."
But Zhou Chen stuffed it directly into his pocket and refused unceremoniously: "Don't even think about it, it's mine now."
This time, even if he only had this copper coin, he would make a lot of money. This was a good start for him. How could he return it to Han Chunming again?
"Zhou Chen..."
"No, no matter how nice your scream is, don't even think about trying to take advantage of my eagle mother. Now that she's mine, don't even think about it."
When Han Chunming saw that Zhou Chen refused to take any advice, he became angry. He hurriedly said: "Zhou Chen, didn't you say you don't understand? This copper coin is indeed a carved mother-of-pearl, but it has begun to rust. It must be used."
There is a special way to remove rust. Give it to me and I will help you."
Zhou Chen was not moved at all and sat there calmly.
"Han Chunming, don't think that I don't know what your intention is. If I give it to you, can you still turn back? So, don't even think about it."
Han Chunming was really anxious: "Zhou Chen, I got this from you. It originally belonged to me."
"Haha, are you anxious? There's no point in being anxious. Don't forget, I still gave you your money. What's more, you didn't recognize it yourself, so you said you gave it to me. You have to admit defeat."
Zhou Chen said with a smile, not paying attention to the eager Han Chunming at all.
Han Chunming's intestines were filled with regret. He slapped himself twice on the spot and cursed himself for being blind.
"Act, you continue to act, no matter how sad or sad you act, there is no way."
Han Chunming sat down on the ground, not thinking about studying other coins, and looked at Zhou Chen with a sigh.
He finally understood that Zhou Chen would definitely not give it to him again. Thinking of him as an 'expert', the treasure was right in front of him, but he didn't recognize it. Instead, it was picked up by Zhou Chen, a layman. It was really embarrassing and was thrown into his grandma's house.
After finally calming down, Han Chunming said: "Okay, I admit it, that carved mother-in-law is yours, but it really needs to be rusted, otherwise it may be damaged over time."
Zhou Chen frowned slightly. After systematic appraisal, he knew that this carved mother must be very precious. If something went wrong, it would indeed be a huge loss.
"Can you do it?"
"You look down on people, I..., forget it, let's find my master, he will definitely be able to do it."
"Your master?" Zhou Chen asked knowingly.
Han Chunming explained: "This is the master who taught me how to identify old objects. My master has real skills. Compared with him, I'm still far behind. He can definitely restore this carving mother to its original state."
"Then go now?"
In fact, the system has already approved this copper coin carving mother, so there is no problem even if you don't get it. However, Zhou Chen feels that it is better to keep such a treasure better. After all, it is a national historical relic and is extremely precious.
meaning.
Han Chunming stood up: "Yes, let's go now. My master should be taking a lunch break at home at this time."
Seeing that Han Chunming was about to leave in a hurry, Zhou Chen pointed to the copper coins on the ground: "Why don't you put these coins away? Are there other precious carving mothers inside?"
"Yes."
Han Chunming patted his head, then his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, yes, this possibility is not impossible. No matter how small the possibility is, he can't give up.
So he carefully packed away the copper coins, even those he had previously deemed to be of little value, and put them in Zhou Chen's room before going out with Zhou Chen.
But just as he arrived at the door, Han Chunming suddenly stopped and turned to Zhou Chen and asked: "Zhou Chen, do you have any good wine here? My master is good at wine. If you have good wine, we will talk about this later.
The old man agreed to keep it."
Zhou Chen said: "There is a rare bottle of Dong wine, it must be more than ten years old."
"Hey, you have such good wine here, are you willing to take it out?"
"No matter how good the wine is, it is still wine. If I can let your master help me restore the carving mother to her original state, a bottle of wine is nothing."
Zhou Chen has seen too many good wines and drank countless good wines. Although this bottle of Dong wine is good, he is not reluctant to part with it.
"Okay, then go get it and we'll go out now."
Zhou Chen brought the wine and the two set off immediately. Han Chunming rode the bike and Zhou Chen sat behind.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at a small courtyard. Before entering, Han Chunming was already shouting loudly.
"Master, Master, I'm here."
The next second, dissatisfied shouts came from inside the house: "Grandson, come as soon as you come, what the hell are you calling me?"
Zhou Chen stood in the courtyard and soon saw an old man with silver hair and a slight hunchback coming out of the house, but he looked quite wealthy.
The old man held a banana fan in his hand and fanned it slowly. When he saw Han Chunming and Zhou Chen, he snorted softly.
"Grandson, why did you bring someone here? Don't you know that your admiral grandpa doesn't like outsiders coming to my place?"
Han Chunming greeted him with a smile, supported the old man, and said flatteringly: "Master, this is not an outsider. He is my classmate and good friend. I brought him here to see you this time for good reasons."
This old man is naturally the old man Guan in the TV series "Zhengyangmen". He is also the most amazing soul character in the TV series, and he makes everyone fool around.
"Grandson, what good can you do?"
Han Chunming smiled and said: "Keeping it will make you happy, Zhou Chen, take the things out."
Zhou Chen understood what he meant, so he took out the Dong wine he brought and walked towards Mr. Guan.
"Old man, I heard from Chunming that you like drinking. I took the liberty of visiting you this time. This is a meeting gift for you."
Seeing the Dongjiu handed over by Zhou Chen, Mr. Guan's cloudy eyes suddenly shone with light, and he snatched it from Zhou Chen's hand with lightning speed. Zhou Chen was a little confused at the speed.
Han Chunming chuckled and said, "Master, do you like this gift?"
Mr. Guan nodded with satisfaction, and his attitude improved a lot: "Assuming that you two have filial piety, let's go, go into the house, and talk about what you have come to see Grandpa Admiral for."
The old man is an honest man. Since he has accepted Zhou Chen's good wine, he will naturally not express it.
Han Chunming helped the old man walk into the house, while Zhou Chen followed behind, looking around curiously. He knew that this old man had countless treasures hidden in his home.
