The so-called patina refers to a layer of natural luster formed on the surface of ancient artifacts after a long period of time. Not only porcelain and jade, but also tooth carvings, calligraphy and paintings will have patina on them. The older the artifacts, the worse the patina will be. thick.
However, it is extremely difficult and vague to rely on patina to determine the year, because the formation of patina is not more obvious than other solid evidence. It will be affected by multiple natural conditions. Generally, only experts in antique appraisal can determine the age based on patina. Authenticity of the era, and the profession of antique appraisal relies on seniority, and those with high seniority are not too young.
However, the Dong Qian in front of him was so young that his conclusion seemed to the experts around him to be like a child uttering arrogance. Everyone was surprised and tried to identify the patina on the porcelain tiles, but no one could tell. Therefore, it is impossible to identify the authenticity from other places.
The boss is also a shrewd person. Seeing the hesitant expressions of so many people on the scene, he became more confident. He looked at Dong Qian at the bottom of the steps and said: "Young man, what you say is false is false, and there must be people here who believe it. "
There is no standard answer for whether this antique is genuine or not, as there is for a banknote detector. Who would believe what such an unknown young man says
But at this moment, a few more voices came from outside the crowd, "Haha, we believe what our young master says. Mr. Qian, why are you playing with the old gangster here?"
"Who cares about calling them hooligans? You..." The boss's originally rising anger got stuck in his throat after seeing the visitor again.
The crowd parted, and two young men walked out. They were fair-skinned, but had a bit of a playful smile, and were carefree. As soon as they saw Dong Qian, the two of them rushed forward and hugged each other's arms, "Master Qian, you But now that I’m out, I miss you so much.”
Out? Seeing the strange looks from the people around him, Dong Qian kicked them away and yelled with a smile, "Get out of here, I'm a serious soldier. What can I tell you? It's just right. Do you know the grandson above?" I haven't shown up for a year, and I'm already looked down upon."
Dong Qian was obviously acquainted with the two of them, and he spoke rudely. The three of them were talking about a scoundrel, which made the boss above him very angry.
"Shopkeeper Xiao, shopkeeper An, are these your friends?" Boss Yuzhai sounded quite polite at this time.
Everyone on this street knows that the best business in Antique Street now, and the one who is most cared for is not the person named Meng, but the five or six outsiders who were sent to join the gang. It is said that they used to do underground business. His reputation is very resounding, and now Jinpenwashwash has been poached by the head of the Meng family to take charge of it. He can identify the antiques at a glance, and his level is only slightly lower than that of the talented head of the Meng family.
It can be said that on this street, Xiao Yun and An Ran are more authoritative than the management center.
So when the boss saw that Dong Qian was acquainted with a few people, the boss's first feeling was that something was not good.
Xiao Yun didn't even look at him, patted Dong Qian's shoulder, and said loudly: "This is our young master Dong Qian. Whenever anything on the ground or underground comes into his hands, he can touch it with two fingers, and the year will be revealed." There is no way to escape. If you question him, it only means that your skills are not good enough."
At this time, An Ran also noticed the clues. He picked up the porcelain pieces from the ground and saw a delicate-looking girl standing next to him. He was stunned for a long time. His little heart was beating abnormally. He coughed twice before he stopped. His attention turned to the porcelain tiles, he looked at them for a few times, and then he also threw the things on the ground and said disdainfully: "How dare you bring back this kind of stuff to fool people, Boss Meng, why don't you let your head of the house come out to make an evaluation and let him see it too?" See if it’s true or not?”
An Ran is a fox. He smiles when he talks, but he will poke at other people's pain points.
When Boss Meng was threatened by this, his face suddenly stiffened, and he laughed with a smile on his face, "Haha, the head of the house is usually busy, so there is no need to trouble him. Since Brother Dong Qian is your friend, What he said must be true. I was also struck by this. It was a misunderstanding. I am willing to refund the full amount to this gentleman, so there is no need to make a big fuss, don’t you think?"
Dong Qian raised his eyebrows and wanted to push back on the spot, but after all, he was from the Meng family. He squinted at Song Ye and asked her what she meant. The latter nodded, indicating that it was not appropriate to make a big fuss. Then he curled his lips and said, Pointing to the person involved, "An Ran, follow him in and see that the money and goods are cleared, don't let anyone take advantage of you."
An Ran suppressed a smile and nodded, then walked in and took out tens of thousands of dollars before the owner could even react to the unexpected turn of events.
"Thank you, thank you. These tens of thousands of yuan are all my belongings. It is the money I bought for my old father's family heirloom. Without you, I..." The man in ordinary clothes thanked him repeatedly while holding tens of thousands of yuan. His tone was choked with sobs. Tens of thousands of yuan in this era is a huge sum of money for ordinary people.
"Hey, you're welcome. Besides, it's not me you want to thank, it's you she wants to save." Dong Qian waved his hand and pointed to Ding Li's side.
Several people looked over and saw Song Ye. She was standing there in a green gauze dress, as beautiful as a painting.
"Master Qian, this is..." An Ran barely mentioned it in one breath, and did not dare to say the following pronouns.
"Oh, little one, she is Song Ye, the one who introduced you to open the shop, my comrade, hehe." Dong Qian flashed his white teeth, which was quite an honor for Song Ye as a comrade.
Xiao Yun and An Ran next to them were stunned, "The Song Ye you mentioned before is a woman?" They had always heard Dong Qian praise Song Ye for how powerful he was, but they didn't expect it to be a woman.
"Ahem, it's a long story, but just remember it's her." Dong Qian didn't know how to explain it, so he touched his nose to fool him.
The two of them greeted Song Ye and said some words of thanks.
After that, the man also came up to say thank you and said a lot of words, which showed that he was also very honest in nature.
Song Ye waved his hand and said a few words to him briefly, and then followed Xiao Yun and An Ran into the shop in the middle of the antique street.
"The five or six shops here are all opened by our brothers. Mr. Meng is also generous. Several other people have gone to buy goods. Today we are the only ones who have a good meal. Miss Song, we have also admired your name for a long time and have always wanted to I'll take the opportunity to thank you." An Ran said, and finally the conversation fell on Song Ye.
The latter was on the phone, with a somewhat cold look on his face, and his tone of voice was not very good, "It's me. I'm at Yuwen Pavilion in the middle of the antique street. Come over here."
This scene happened to fall in the eyes of Xiao Yu who came out of the back hall. She frowned and saw An Ran greeting her so well, but Song Ye was talking on the phone and being indifferent. Her first impression of the girl was very bad.
