America’s Treasure King - vChapter 43

On the Qingming day, Li Xiaoshuai and his mother went to his hometown ten miles north of the town and his father’s grave in the morning.

Li Xiaoshuai burned the paper, his mother could not help crying and nagging a few words, and then announced the good news to his father and said a few words of relief, I hope his father can continue to bless his son to make more money, so that his son can get Elaine back , and scattered leaves for the Li family.

After the incident, the mother and son were still driven by Luo Yang and took them to their home.

When he arrived at Luo’s house, Li Xiaoshuai saw that his mahogany workshop was quite large, and it was said that he hired more than a dozen technicians. Because today is the Qingming Festival and a national holiday, there is no one working in the workshop.

Li Xiaoshuai also saw that there are a lot of machines in this workshop. Uncle Luo said that they are now cutting materials; planed boards, punching, and carving are all machined now, and a set of mahogany furniture can be made very quickly.

At noon, Li Xiaoshuai’s cousin Xia He also came, and the dinner table must be filled with a lively atmosphere.

After the meal, Luo Yang proposed to test Li Xiaoshuai’s antique identification water quality, and said that if he passed the test, he would also introduce him to a few collectors in the town.

Uncle Luo Hongjun agreed very much, saying that Li Xiaoshuai was fine at home these days, so Luo Yang took him around, and it was boring enough to be at home.

“No hurry, let’s pass the test first.” Last night, his uncle told him and Li Xiaoshuai to learn more, and Luo Yang was still a little unconvinced.

Li Xiaoshuai asked with a smile, if he failed the test, he would naturally follow what Luo Yang said, but what if he passed the test?

Xia Huifang said, don’t take the exam. It’s not my mother’s eccentricity. My little handsome has worked hard. I have seen it many times with my own eyes. I guess Luo Yang, you definitely won’t win.

Luo Hongjun also scolded, this little red guy (little ghost) has a hard mouth, but there is actually nothing in his belly. Xiaoshuai, just show your cousin a hand, and let him know that there are people outside the world, and there are days outside the world.

“Not necessarily.” Luo Yang said in his heart that he would not take the test, who knows if you can do it, at least I am not convinced. “I passed the test, I will be your little brother!”

“Come on, Xiaoshuai” Li Xiaoshuai’s aunt and uncle, as well as cousin Xia He are all on Li Xiaoshuai’s side. The three of them also put out a thousand yuan each, saying they were going to bet.

This one-sided scene further aroused Luo Yang’s rebellious psychology. He said in his heart, I am a college student, and I still can’t beat you a wild way, a joke!

When Li Xiaoshuai asked how to take the test, Luo Yang said that the appraiser could see the authenticity of the antique at a glance. He was going to let Li Xiao sit three meters away, and let Li Xiaoshuai take a look at his piece of porcelain. He must tell the piece immediately. ‘s era.

Li Xiaoshuai smiled and said, “This is simple.”

“Simple? It’s impossible not to spend a few years of hard work, or even more than ten years of hard work. And you, you are just a rookie who has only learned for half a year…hehe.”

“Little Shuai, this guy looks down on you.” Xia He also used aggressive tactics to stimulate Li Xiaoshuai.

“Although let the horse come over,” Li Xiaoshuai’s attitude made Luo Yang even more unconvinced.

The test began. In front of the whole family, Luo Yang took out a large box full of broken ceramic pieces from his room. He picked out a fragment of a blue and white bowl, shook it in front of Li Xiaoshuai’s eyes, and immediately received it behind his back.

He also smirked and said, “Come on, what year is it from?”

“Kang Zao.”

Kangzao is the abbreviation of the early Kangxi period. Kangxi reigned for 60 years, followed by Kang Zhong and Kang Wan.

For this popular porcelain specimen, Li Xiaoshuai could see clearly without even needing to have a supernatural power.

“Hey, you were mistaken.” Luo Yang had seen this piece of porcelain when he took it out by himself.

Xia He also kept applauding, praising Li Xiaoshuai as an old mage.

“Old Mage? Humph!” Luo Yang began to use the trick he had thought of last night.

He took out another fragment of a broken bowl. This fragment was only a thin line drawn by a thin blue and white outside the bowl mouth, and flashed past away from Li Xiaoshuai.

Li Xiaoshuai: “Cousin, you are joking. This is modern porcelain from the past few decades, and even the Republic of China can’t stand it.”

Luo Yang was startled, thinking that this cousin’s eyesight is still a little bit, and he still wanted to continue the exam, but the eldest cousin Xia He said, “Compare the two of you together, so that you can compare well.”

This is a good idea, Li Xiaoshang’s uncle and aunt strongly agree.

Noisy until the end, the lonely Luo Yang still stood in the seat to accompany the exam, but now the examiner was replaced by Xia He.

But she just took a piece of porcelain and flashed it, and then according to the label on the tile, to compare who the two cousins ​​on the opposite side were right, Xia He was confident that she could do it well.

Without even looking at it, Xia He reached out and took a piece of porcelain and swayed it around quickly, hiding it behind his back.

Li Xiaoshuai, who was sitting on the same long bench, motioned for Luo Yang to speak first.

In fact, Luo Yang didn’t even see clearly the porcelain piece in his cousin’s hand, and quickly disappeared.

In fact, it’s not that he couldn’t identify it, but it took a long time. He had to hold the porcelain piece and carefully study it for a while before he could conclude that it was from that era.

“Wanli’s!”

Xia He took out the piece of porcelain behind him and saw that the word “Wanli” was written on the label. “Xiaoshuai is right.”

Luo Hongjun has something to say again, scolding Luo Yang for not being modest and not being diligent. Look at the young handsome man, who is younger than him but more diligent than him. You must be embarrassed today.

After trying it three times in a row, Luo Yang also knew that Li Xiaoshuai’s eyesight was absolutely good, but if he absolutely passed the test, he still had to try. He said to wait a moment, then went to the room to get a box of tiles.

Where did he come from this time, but it’s different from the last time when it was all blue and white. Now it’s all old kiln porcelain.

The old kiln means the porcelain before the dynasties. At that time, the porcelain was basically monochromatic glaze, including the five famous kilns of the famous Guange Rudingjun.

He turned over for a while, took out two pieces of porcelain that looked exactly the same color, and asked Li Xiaoshuai, “Look, which one of the two pieces of Ding kiln is fake?”

Li Xiaoshuai looked at them separately and said, “The two pieces of Ding kiln porcelain are all fake, one piece was soaked in acid and looked a little greasy, and the other piece was polished with animal skin, with a glazed surface. There are also small traces.”

“You can see that too?” Luo Yang was not calm this time. “Looks like you really use two brushes.”

Then, Luo Yang took out Yue kiln porcelain pieces and Longquan kiln porcelain pieces to verify Li Xiaoshuai’s authenticity. All of them were true and false, and Li Xiaoshuai saw them all at a glance.

Luo Yang was convinced, admitting defeat, saying that he would accompany his cousin around for the past few days. He also said, “Cousin, tomorrow I will take you to the antique stalls in town to see if I can pick up a leak.”

“Okay, okay.” Xia He said that she would also go to see it together.
