I Can Extract Abilities From Antiques

I don't know how long I slept, until the smell of vegetables wafted into my nostrils, and Hu Muzhi woke up and turned around.

Just looking at a small dining table that appeared at an unknown time in front of him, and the combination of Maotai and dishes on it, Hu Muzhi couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

Is this still awake?

Just when Hu Muzhi's doubts were born, Sun Fugui's voice slowly sounded: "Brother Hu, you read that right, I asked the bathhouse attendant to buy these.

"When did the bathhouse still offer the business of going out to buy food?" Hu Muzhi was dumbfounded.

"It's easy to do things with money." Sun Fugui said with a smile.

Hu Muzhi was dumbfounded. Indeed, Sun Fugui's words were irrefutable.

"Come, Brother Hu, have a drink." Sun Fugui was about to fill the glass in front of Hu Muzhi.

But it was stopped by Hu Muzhi, who said, "If you have to set up a stall at night, the wine will be avoided. Let me drink water. 39

What "four sixty" time should drink, when should not drink. Hu Muzhi's score is still very clear.

Sun Fugui didn't try to persuade him, he nodded and said, "Cheng, Brother Hu drinks water, and I drink water too. 99

After speaking, he asked the waiter for a pot of jasmine tea.

The two just drank tea, ate vegetables, and chatted.

"Brother Hu, I see that people who buy furniture often talk about the pulp. What does the pulp mean?" Sun Fugui asked.

"Pulping is the antiquities industry in the past, not only for furniture, but also for calligraphy and painting works. It is a layer of shell formed on the surface due to long-term oxidation." Hu Muzhi swallowed the beef in his mouth and replied road.

"In the Republic of China, it was also called treasure syrup, and it shone with a dark luster like a treasure.

"This pulp has been around for a long time, and it has been misunderstood by many collectors as a kind of dirt, and it is true that there is a shell on it. 39

"This has also led many people to use pulp as the standard to judge the authenticity of items, which is actually a very wrong method.

"How do you say?" Sun Fugui immediately became interested.

"Because a lot of ancient furniture is clean, reflecting our highest quality of life in the Ming and Qing dynasties at that time."

"And many old methods can form slurries." Hu Muzhi replied.

"Then how to distinguish the old?" Sun Fugui asked.

"I can't explain this, because it's an accumulated experience." Hu Muzhi said: "For example, if this thing is new or old, sometimes you can't see it, then you think, you can understand the old and new clothes. Can't tell."

"Of course you can." Sun Fugui said. "The suit I just bought last time didn't feel right, so I decided to change it. Before changing, I specially washed the suit and ironed it neatly, but I took it to the counter and showed it to the salesperson. recognized it.

"This is a kind of accumulated experience. It is because of the experience that it is easy to make judgments." Hu Muzhi nodded.

"It's easy to tell whether a piece of clothing is old or new, but it's very difficult to tell the authenticity of ancient furniture.

"Because there are too many ways to be old, such as the simplest.

"After the furniture is finished, take a rope, tie two stones, and throw it directly into the cesspool."

"Originally, the hardwood furniture was sinking to the bottom, and two stones were tied, so it couldn't sink any more.

"Soak it for two weeks, then take it out, expose it to the sun for two weeks, throw it in, and dry it for another two weeks, and in the summer, all the furniture is stale. 55

"But it's an old one, an old one that corrodes evenly, all the same.

"But we all know that when we wear clothes, the most vulnerable place is the knee, which you have to figure out.

"There are other ways to make old furniture, that is, brushing paint, returning the paint after brushing, returning the paint after brushing, and tossing them back and forth for many times will make the furniture become more old.

"Dyeing, burning, wire brushing, various means, how to 'destroy' it, how to come."

"But this destruction must be man-made. You can use your brain, think about it, and take a closer look, and you can find traces of his forgery."

"Understanding this knowledge, it is good for you to make a comprehensive judgment on a piece of furniture.

"Distinguishing fakes is not something you can learn overnight. You have to take it slow and swallow the dates wholeheartedly. You won't be fat in one go."

"If there is something I don't understand in the future, I will ask you for advice." Sun Fugui smiled.

"Welcome at any time." Hu Muzhi did not reject Sun Fugui, he could see that the other party had a soft spot for hardwood furniture.

"Then I will thank Brother Hu first and drink water." Sun Fugui held up the water glass in front of him.

The two just ate and chatted, and ate a meal for more than an hour.

During this period, Sun Fugui was like a curious baby, and Hu Muzhi knew everything and said everything.

After eating and getting dressed, the two left the bathhouse.

When he came to the door, Hu Muzhi suddenly thought of something, and said to Sun Fugui: "Old Sun, you don't know much about hardwood furniture now, so don't take it lightly."

"I know." Sun Fugui nodded.

"But if you really want to get started, let me recommend someone who specializes in hardwood furniture business, and is more reliable than your so-called friends." Hu Muzhi said.

"This is great." Sun Fugui's eyes brightened.

Hu Muzhi told Sun Fugui the location of Xie Si's shop.

After Sun Fugui wrote it down, he said that he had something to do later, so he did not ask Hu Muzhi to send him back.

Hu Muzhi looked at the time, it was already 10:30, so he didn't go back to the courtyard at all, and went straight to Panjiayao.

After all, his goods are kept in the void ring.

Driving the car to a place where no one was around, Hu Muzhi was about to take out the stall's goods from the Void Ring, but found that there was an envelope under the seat of the sidecar.

"This is?" With doubts, Hu Muzhi opened the envelope and glanced.

I found that it was actually filled with money, I clicked it, and it was 2,000 yuan.

Don't ask, it must be that Sun Fugui deliberately put it here because he was afraid that he would not accept it.

"This old grandson..." Hu Muzhi shook his head with a smile, put the money in his pocket, took out the items in the stall from the Void Ring, and headed straight for Pan's house.

After the things were set up, Hu Muzhi sat on the floor, waiting for customers to come.

It's just that the customer hasn't come to the door yet, and another 2.8 old acquaintance is ushered in.

Wang Luotian.

"Brother Wang, come to the stall again." Hu Muzhi greeted him with a smile.

"I'm not here to shop today, I'm here to find you, Brother Hu." Wang Luotian smiled.

"Anything?" Hu Muzhi asked.

"Is it my grandfather's 80th birthday in just two days?"

Hearing this, Hu Muzhi looked at Wang Luotian with a puzzled expression.

What does your grandfather's 80th birthday have to do with me? I'm not your grandfather, no, nor my grandfather.

"Isn't this old man wanting to be more lively? He specially gave me a table and asked me to invite my friends over to have a lively experience, so I hope Brother Hu can come over to cheer the day after tomorrow. Wang Luotian continued.

Having said such polite words to cheer, Hu Muzhi seemed a little hypocritical when he refused, so he nodded and agreed.
