Text Chapter 13 Confusing

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The system sound came out suddenly, almost startling Zhou Xia. Does the system still have this function?

    For him, such a function is quite useful, especially since he has always wanted to figure out how to calculate the standards for collecting one hundred precious cultural relics.

    If there is a prompt in the system now, it will undoubtedly be much easier to handle.

    At this moment, Zhou Xia was even thinking that if she went to the East China Sea Museum, she would probably receive more reminders!

    "It's a pity that the museum's collections can only be viewed from a distance, and cannot even be touched. There is no chance to take a look at them, let alone collect them.

    It seems that there is still a long way to go before you can complete the collection of these one hundred precious cultural relics and successfully unlock the next skill.

    Another problem is that even if the system has identified the precious cultural relics, it is not easy for Zhou Xia to get them by himself.  The precious cultural relics recognized by the system are generally of high quality. The price is naturally not low. There is no way that the cash-strapped Zhou Xia can afford it now.

    Take this pair of carmine red horseshoe cups for example. This pastel color is indeed quite attractive. The carmine red glaze on the outer wall is bright, clean, gorgeous and delicate, while the white glaze on the inner wall is shiny and white, fully demonstrating the brightness of the carmine red glaze.  Style, extremely precious.

    Zhou Xia, as the most knowledgeable among the people, quickly explained to the antique shop clerk, "Please don't mind what she said. It's just an adjective, saying it seems real. This is actually one of the best compliments for it."  Words, right? After all, these carmine red horseshoe cups are so beautiful that I can¡¯t think of any other words to describe them. Can we get our hands on them and take a look?¡±

    "If you sincerely want it, you can get your hands on it and observe it. However, this pair of porcelain is too precious. Let me say something ugly first. This pair of Kangxi rouge red horseshoe cups is worth 800,000 yuan. If something goes wrong,  You have to compensate according to the price." The guy was not very old, about thirty, with an ordinary appearance and a calm expression, so what he said was understandable.  Especially for fragile and precious porcelain like this, it is best to quote the price first so that everyone can be mentally prepared to avoid accidents, such as dropping the porcelain on the ground, and everyone arguing with each other.

    "Well, we know." Zhou Xia nodded quickly and said yes, as long as he can get started and observe it, it will be fine if it is recognized by the system as a precious cultural relic.  This is a good opportunity to learn knowledge and gain experience. How can you miss it?

    Wang Yanli and the others naturally had no objections, but they were shocked when they heard the shop assistant quoted a price of 800,000 yuan.  The group of people mortgaged all their belongings, but they were not worth 800,000 yuan. The 20,000 yuan that Zhou Xia had just missed might seem like a lot in other places, but here, it was just a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning at all.

    But that doesn¡¯t stop them from trying to make a fool of themselves. It doesn¡¯t cost any money anyway. All you need to do is pay a little attention and concentrate on not breaking the porcelain.

    Zhou Xia was thinking deep down in her heart. Judging from the price of 800,000 yuan offered by this antique shop, I am afraid they are not very optimistic about this pair of carmine red horseshoe cups.  Otherwise, if they were a genuine pair of Kangxi rouge red glazes, their value in the industry would be at least two million.

    "But it's also possible that they made a mistake. Of course Zhou Xia hopes so. In this case, he may have missed something.

    No matter what, you have to look at it carefully first. Even if there is a possibility of missing something, he can't afford so much money now.

    Zhou Xia was the first to get started. He carefully picked up one of the horseshoe cups from the counter, and then began to appreciate it carefully.

    After getting started, Zhou Xia discovered the preciousness of it. People all over the world like to compare women's skin to fine porcelain. This fine porcelain does have its own charm. The artistic beauty is truly indescribable.  In Wang Yanli's words, it's just like the real thing.

    Carmine glaze is a rare variety among Ming and Qing glazes. It was created and fired in the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It uses gold as the coloring agent and the glaze is carmine red, so it is called "carmine glaze", also known as "gold red".

    The color, shape and texture of the horseshoe cup Zhou Xia held in his hand were consistent with the theories he had seen about the carmine red glaze from the Kangxi period.

    The horseshoe cup is exquisite and exquisite, with an open mouth, sloping walls, a deep belly and a circle foot.

    With carmine red glaze on the outside and white glaze on the inside, the heart of the cup is painted with lotus seeds, grapes, cantaloupe, melon seeds and other fruits.

    The bottom is covered with white glaze, and the regular script "Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty" is written inside the blue and white double circle.

    Zhou Xia couldn't help but admire its unique beauty for a while, and then began to appraise it.

    His theoretical level is good, but his practical experience is far behind that of experienced experts.  Although he had seen a lot of fine porcelain before, this one with carmine red glazeBut this was my first time using it, and I judged that it was similar in style to Kangxi's carmine red glaze, and it was purely based on paper talks.

    ¡° If he really wanted to make a careful judgment, Zhou Xia couldn¡¯t explain much.

    Zhou Xia is not pushy or in a hurry. She just comes with a learning attitude. After appreciating one piece, she then picks up another one for appraisal.

    While admiring it, he also secretly compared the two carmine red glazed horseshoe cups in his heart.

    Don¡¯t tell me, he really found some flaws.

    At this time, he was very attentive and discovered that the styles of the two horseshoe cups were actually not exactly the same. Although they seemed to be similar on the surface, whether it was the shape or color, if they were analyzed carefully, they found that there were still some differences.

    The color of the one he picked up first was more vivid, delicate, and extremely luxurious.

    The one at the back is slightly lacking, similar in shape, but slightly different in spirit.  Although the artistic value is also not low, there is a gap after all. The latter is like an amethyst rose, while the former is better than an amethyst rose.

    If these pairs of Kangxi rouge red horseshoe cups were really a pair, there would never be such a gap in style and charm.

    This can only explain one problem: these horseshoe cups are not a pair.  For someone who has just entered the industry, they may not be able to deeply feel the difference, but for Zhou Xia, who has a lot of experience and talent, it is still possible to carefully distinguish the charm and charm.

    This also means that one of the horseshoe cups may be imitated by later generations. At the very least, it will not come from the same batch of kilns, let alone the same person.

    As a result, the value of this pair of carmine red horseshoe cups will be greatly reduced. For any collection that appears in pairs, the value of one plus one will always be greater than two.  The opposite is also true. They are supposed to be a pair, but only one of them is genuine. Naturally, its value is not too high.

    Zhou Xia secretly thought that the owner of this antique shop was not low-level, and he was probably aware of the problems involved, so the price was quite reasonable.

    But why did the system determine that this is a precious cultural relic?

    Zhou Xia tried hard to use her brain, and then she realized that the system had just reminded her that it had found a precious cultural relic, not a pair.  It shows that the system has fully realized the value of this.

    But Zhou Xia is a little confused. This is supposed to be a pair of horseshoe cups. If only one of them is authentic, how can it become a precious cultural relic?  There is something special about this. Unfortunately, he has not done much research on Kangxi Rouge. He has no information at hand and cannot judge the reason, let alone know the complicated and confusing truth.

    But no matter what, as long as the system recognizes it, it will be fine. Otherwise, even if Zhou Xia identifies it as a precious cultural relic and the system does not recognize it, he will still be unable to complete the task and unlock the next skill.

    It¡¯s just that the price of this antique shop is 800,000. Even if the price can be reduced to 100,000 or 200,000, it is still an unreachable number for Zhou Xia.

    Now Zhou Xia just hates that she has too little funds, and is wondering where to get money. She wants to collect money. If she doesn¡¯t have extraordinary vision and strong capital, it is really not easy to achieve something.
