Jiang Chen looked confident and stroked the wooden box with his hand.

The wooden box is smooth and warm to the touch.

It's like being wrapped in a layer of amber.

Yang Fugui was also confused by Jiang Chen's words, "What you showed me was this wooden box, not porcelain?"

"Yes, those porcelains are worthless things. I don't like them. I'm looking at the box." Jiang Chen invited: "Boss Yang, you are an expert. Please help me see what this wooden box is." , the old rule is, if the price is right, I’ll leave it to you, I’ll eat the meat, you drink the soup.”

Yang Fugui walked over, squatted down, and also touched the wooden box with his hands.

The background color of the wooden box is dark red. On top of the red, there are gold spots of different shapes, either long strips, triangles, or irregular dots, all of which are scattered irregularly on the surface.

and.

You can also see that these golden spots have distinct layers.

under the sun.

Gold spots sparkle.

It seems extremely luxurious and valuable.

Use one word to describe it.

Just the word "beautiful".

Yang Fugui touched here and looked there.

Anyway, his attitude is very serious and attentive, and almost every corner has been studied by Yang Fugui.

See how professional Yang Fugui is.

The man selling porcelain tiles couldn't sit still.

He moved closer quietly, wanting to see what the origin of this box was.

So are the people around you.

They were all ordinary people, and for a moment they really didn’t understand what was so special about the wooden box.

soon.

Yang Fugui's expression became more solemn.

"The inner layer of this wooden box is ordinary oak, but the outer layer is wrapped with uneven plaster and paint. It is then base with red paint and embellished with gold paint. It is polished to form a clear and irregular pattern. This kind of The decorative craft is Huizhou rhinoceros paint. If I remember correctly, rhinoceros paint was lost in the late Qing Dynasty. It was not until a few years ago that a master named Gan Erke spent more than 20 years to perfectly restore this technique and make it Reappearance."

Huizhou rhino paint? !

After hearing this, everyone around them looked confused.

Because they have never heard of this technique.

Yang Fugui continued:

"I think the materials and techniques used in this rhinoceros paint are exclusive to the Ming Dynasty. This wooden box is probably from the Ming Dynasty. In that era of backward technology, the rhinoceros paint decoration process was very expensive, and the production time was very long. A year and a half, so rhinoceros leather lacquer is a niche toy of the elite class, and its inventory is very low. A well-preserved Ming Dynasty rhinoceros leather lacquer wooden box like this will definitely attract many collectors to buy it. I guess the price is at least One hundred thousand."

From the Ming Dynasty?

Price starts at 100,000?

These two key pieces of information reached everyone's ears.

For a while.

Whether in the live broadcast room or on site, everyone was restless.

After listening to what Yang Fugui said, Jiang Chen nodded in agreement, "Rhino lacquerware has a long history, which can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period and flourished in the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, in later history, rhino lacquerware was complicated to make and took a long time to complete. Because of its high cost, it was abandoned by the ancients. However, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, rhinoceros lacquerware returned to the stage of history as an ornamental object."

"For example, Huang Cheng, a famous lacquer craftsman in the Ming Dynasty, compiled a monograph on lacquerware "Painting and Decoration Records", which comprehensively describes various techniques related to lacquer painting. Rhinoceros is included in the book as a filling type, and its The original text is: 'Rhinoceros skin may be called Xipi or rhinoceros skin. There are clouds in the text, like those with round flowers and green scales on pine trees. Those with a vat surface nearby are considered to be smooth and beautiful.'"

"Even so, the output of rhinoceros paint is extremely low due to cost and other reasons, and it is extremely rare to see it among the public."

Speaking of which.

Jiang Chen touched the smooth paint on the wooden box and continued: "So this wooden box decorated with rhino paint must be worth a lot of money! Boss Yang, you are well-informed, can you give me an estimate?"

Yang Fugui was stunned.

He really didn't expect that Jiang Chen's knowledge reserve was so profound.

After reacting, Yang Fugui said with embarrassment: "I know very little about the market situation of rhinoceros lacquerware, and I dare not make too many claims. But I know a senior from an auction house who is a professional appraiser. I can ask him to do the appraisal." one time."

Ask Yang Fugui to estimate common collections, and he is 90% sure.

But for niche and unpopular collections like rhinoceros lacquerware, Yang Fugui was unsure.

After getting Jiang Chen's permission, Yang Fugui called the friend:

"Teacher Chen, I, Yang Fugui, haven't seen you for a few days, and I want to treat you to a meal. By the way, a customer of mine found a Ming Dynasty rhinoceros leather lacquered wooden box, and I want you to come and help estimate the price. I don't know. Do you have time?"

"No, no, no, there's no hurry, I'll be waiting for you here! Yeah! Okay!"

hang up the phone.

Yang Fugui took a deep breath and said, "Okay, that senior happens to be nearby and will be there soon. Let's wait for a while."

"Not urgent."

Jiang Chen is still the same, calm and collected.

But the people around him couldn't keep their temper.

They talked excitedly.

Thinking of the estimated price given by Yang Fugui that "the price starts at 100,000 yuan", people who eat melons are talking about it.

"Be good! The dare-lover guy is here for the wooden box!"

"You must be an expert, otherwise how would you be able to spot this box at a glance?"

"The box I bought for 27,000 yuan starts at 100,000 yuan, so I have to make tens of thousands of dollars!"

Some people who were gloating about the misfortune came up to the seller and asked with a smile: "Brother, why didn't you see that your box is worth more than 100,000 yuan? Hahaha, now a young man took it away."
