After working for a long time in the morning, he finally packed all the items in the utility room that were confirmed to be genuine into boxes and moved them to a small storage room in the study of his main house.
After returning to the utility room, he looked at the three suspected Yuanqinghua pieces and considered it for a while, then put the large bowl among them into a wooden box and prepared to take it to the trust store for show.
As long as one of these three things can be confirmed to be true, the remaining two will be no surprise.
Then he packed the other two plates that he was not sure of and planned to take them with him. Although these two plates were written in the Qianlong period, he felt that they were imitations from the Republic of China. If so, he would wait for
It will be sold directly to the trust store later.
He walked out of the utility room with three wooden boxes in his arms. Now the inside was neatly tidied up. After looking through it with his eyes, in addition to the five items left now, there were thirty-two items from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, and two more items.
Ten items from the Ming Dynasty.
There are also nine known imitations from the Republic of China period, but these nine pieces no longer belong to him, but...
Thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced under the eaves, where there was a neat row of porcelain bowls.
That's right, those imitations have all become dog food bowls. The eight ones are for eating, and the other larger porcelain basin is for them to drink water.
This is a little bit of Li Chu's bad taste. I remember that in my last life, I read on the Internet about someone who went out to collect old things. It turned out that the dog used the bowl from the Yongle year and the basin from the Xuande year.
Well, the dogs his family now uses are also antiques. Although they are imitations from the Republic of China, they are still several decades old.
It's probably no problem to fool a layman who doesn't understand.
When the bowls were being changed at the front, several dogs still didn't agree, and in a rare moment they collectively ate the whole meal.
Li Chu didn't get used to them either, and he would fall down if they refused to eat them.
Needless to say, by the next morning, everyone was eating the rice from the new bowl obediently.
Carrying three boxes, he walked to the front yard and called Liu Dazhuang out.
"Da Zhuang, let's go to the trust store over there with me."
This store is big, and there is a master chef inside who can help identify it.
"Director, do you want to drive?"
"It's closed, just walk over."
"Give me the box and I'll get it."
Seeing Xiao Hei following him closely and wanting to go out together, Li Chu raised his leg and kicked him gently.
Among the dogs at home, he is the most naughty. Every time he goes out when it is not for work, he wants to follow him.
"Go back, Xiaohei. I'll take you for a walk after dinner in the evening."
The guy grunted twice in dissatisfaction.
Now during the day, Li Chu tries not to take a few of them out. When he does go out, he wanders around the alley twice instead of going to the road. Even if he has them tied up, he is worried about scaring others.
Fortunately, the yard at home is big enough for them to run around, otherwise these dogs would suffocate to death if they stayed at home every day.
In the trust store, when the old chef named Cao saw the bowl on the table, his eyes went straight.
He quickly wiped his hands with a handkerchief on the table, then carefully picked up the bowl and looked at it carefully. Even Li Chu, who was talking to him beside him, didn't even bother to answer.
After a long time, Master Cao put the bowl back on the table.
"Doctor Li, where did you get this from?"
Li Chu is relatively well-known around here. As long as he is from here, everyone knows him.
One is because of his dog, and the other is because of the car.
"Mr. Cao, this should be Yuan Qinghua, right?" Li Chu did not answer his question, but asked directly.
Master Cao didn't care either. He just asked casually and didn't expect others to respond to him.
"That's right, it's an absolute Yuan blue and white bowl with unicorns and lotus patterns. It's rare that it's been preserved so well. Dr. Li, please bring it to me to see. I think it's a bit new, so I'm not sure about it, right?"
"Yes, I do think it's a bit too new."
"It's normal. I can only say that others have preserved it well and know that it is a good thing. Doctor Li, do you want to sell this bowl?"
"I don't have any plans for the moment."
Master Cao looked at the bowl on the table with some reluctance, nodded and said, "I know Doctor Li is not short of money, but if you want to take action one day, as long as I, Old Cao, am still alive, you can do whatever you want."
Li Chu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Cao likes it so much, you can take it, one hundred thousand."
!!!
The old man glanced at the guy across the table speechlessly.
"Doctor Li, I ask you to speak freely, but you can't speak like a lion."
"Does Mr. Cao think it's not worth it?"
"If I don't deserve the title of Doctor Li and Mr. Cao, just call me Master Cao." The old man smiled and waved his hand.
"If you really want to talk about value, the absolute value is 100,000. I even think you underestimated it."
"Haha, I only mentioned this price in front of Mr. Cao. If someone else asked, I would never quote it because I have no intention of selling it at all."
"Okay!" The old man smiled and picked up the bowl and put it back into the box.
"You'd better put it away, otherwise I'm worried that I'll still want to read it."
As he said that, he took the initiative to open the other two boxes on the table. The old man just glanced at the bottle and then closed the box again.
"You don't need to look at these two. They are both imitations from the Republic of China. You can take them back and play with them as you like."
Master Cao is actually not an expert in appraising porcelain, but generally no one will refute him after he identifies something, including the experts in the palace.
He specializes in the restoration of ancient porcelain. In his own words, he is a muddy man.
Now that I'm getting older, my hands are a little shaky, and I can no longer do the porcelain repair work, but several of the apprentices he brought out are still working there.
The old man was just bored at home, so he came here to help.
If you ask him to tell you how to identify these things, he may not be able to tell you.
But just by taking a look at it or touching it, he can definitely tell you whether it is real or fake.
Just like the last person in the Qing Dynasty, the expert said it was real. He took it in his hand and played with it twice and immediately said it was fake.
Experts also spent a long time explaining to people why they think this is true.
In the end, all they said was, I used to play with this thing a lot when I was a kid, and it didn't feel right when I touched it.
Master Cao is just like that person now. He has touched and seen many things, and he can tell the truth from the false as soon as he gets started with it.
"Doctor Li, there should be other Yuan Qinghua at your place, right?"
The old man asked softly suddenly.
Li Chu didn't react at all. He just shook his head: "Mr. Cao, to be honest, these things are rare. It would be great to have one of them."
