    The next procedure was the same as last time. Wang Gang came up to the audience and judges to observe the big blue and white chamber pot up close.

    The eight spectators savored the taste and stepped forward to observe. This time, Yuan Ting paid close attention and observed very carefully. If this thing was not a chamber pot, she would have wanted to reach out and touch it.  Porcelain mainly depends on its fineness, but Yuan Ting's vision is really not high enough to tell what the porcelain mouth of this chamber pot looks like.  But Yuan Ting could see the words printed on the bottom of the chamber pot displayed on the screen: "Yongzheng Year System of the Qing Dynasty".

    Yuan Ting was really not sure whether it came from an official kiln, but she saw that these words were similar to the words "Kangxi Queen" just now, so she estimated that they might be true.  In addition, the Tibetan friend just said that there are noses and eyes. If it is not true, it is not made up like this.  Therefore, Yuan Ting believed that this chamber pot should have been given to Longkodo by Emperor Yongzheng, as Tibetan friends said.

    After the appreciation, the eight people returned to their seats, and Wang Gang asked them to write down their estimated prices.  Yuan Ting did not hesitate this time and wrote the price confidently.  In her estimation, the vase just now was worth 2.5 million, and this chamber pot was of great historical value, starting at at least 5 million.  So, she gave a price of eight million.

    Soon, starting from the 1st, the price will be revealed.  The price given by audience judge No. 1 is 10,000 yuan. The price given by judge No. 2 is the same as No. 1, the same price of about 10,000 yuan. No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 also gave such prices.  When it came to Yuan Ting, she showed her price of eight million, and her face was full of confidence.  When we arrived at Xiao Mei, the price she gave was fifty yuan.  The last one was Si Fengyi, and the price she gave was thirty yuan.

    With this price, Wang Gang asked the audience judge No. 1 to talk to Yuan Ting and Si Fengyi respectively about why they gave such a price.

    Judge No. 1 said that it is absolutely impossible for this chamber pot to be given to Longkodo by Yongzheng as the Tibetan friend said.  Because in his opinion, any gift given by the emperor, let alone a chamber pot, even if it is a brick, will be recorded in the palace.  When the house is searched in the future, they will definitely check it according to the records. This is a chamber pot used by the royal family. It was used by the dragon whip. How could it easily flow into the private sector.  So, this must be a fake.  However, in his opinion, this thing was of good workmanship and was probably imitated in the late Qing Dynasty. No matter how bad it was, it should be worth 18,000 yuan.

    Yuan Ting¡¯s point of view is very simple. This is simply true. If it is false, how could this Tibetan friend make up such a realistic story.  And looking at the words printed on it, there is no doubt that it is true.

    When it was Si Fengyi's turn to explain, Si Fengyi said with certainty that this chamber pot was simply a modern imitation. It looked good on the surface, but in fact the workmanship was very rough and it could not have come from Jingdezhen.

    After Si Fengyi finished speaking, Wang Gang used the same trick as before to scare his friend Mr. Zhang, telling him that if the chamber pot was fake, he would definitely not smash it. He asked him if he was sure and continued to let experts conduct appraisal.  .

    Mr. Zhang immediately stated that if this thing is a fake, it will be of no use if it is left at home. It is better to smash it.  Seeing what he said, Wang Gang asked expert judges to conduct an appraisal. The expert judges quickly wrote dots on the red appraisal book.

    Then, the expert called Wang Gang over and gave the appraisal certificate to Wang Gang. Wang Gang took it, took a look at it, then walked back to his original position very seriously, raised the small golden hammer, and solemnly told Mr. Zhang again that the appraisal was now  It's already done. If it's fake, the chamber pot will be broken when the hammer hits it. You regret it now and take it away before it's too late.

    Seeing Wang Gang¡¯s serious expression, Mr. Zhang couldn¡¯t help but show nervousness. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded, saying that since he was here for appraisal, he must know the result.  If I don't get the result, I feel really uncomfortable, so I'll take the risk this time. If it's fake, just smash it.

    The hammer in Wang Gang's hand was raised high and fell suddenly. Then there was a "crack" sound, and the chamber pot was smashed to pieces.

    The breaking of the chamber pot touched the hearts of countless people. Yuan Ting's heart trembled heavily as the chamber pot was broken.  A look of grievance appeared on his face, "Why was I wrong again? This should be true."

    When Mr. Zhang saw the chamber pot being smashed, he couldn't help but take a step back, then sat down on the ground. He said in disbelief: "It's fake, how could it be fake?"

    Ms. etiquette stepped forward and helped Mr. Zhang up. Wang Gang said gently: "Mr. Zhang, this is the expert's appraisal certificate. Please take a look."

    After saying that, Wang Gang unfolded the appraisal certificate and saw three words written on it - Smash it hard!

    "Mr. Zhang, this is the appraisal given by the expert appraisal team. Why is this collection said to be fake? We might as well listen to the expert appraisal team's comments." Wang Gang said gently again.

      There were three experts sitting at the expert appraisal table. At this moment, the one sitting in the middle said: "What is the chamber pot used for? I don't need to go into details here. I just introduced it. But the chamber pot is  In ancient times, it was not used out of bed at night, but in bed. Not everyone is qualified to use a chamber pot, and children and women cannot use it casually. Now, I will go into more detail about the chamber pot  Let¡¯s introduce it¡±

    At the moment, the expert started talking and gave a more detailed introduction to the chamber pot.

    It turns out that the knowledge about chamber pots is quite complicated, but chamber pots are still very important, especially in the north.

    Women don¡¯t use chamber pots, which has something to do with their physiological structure. In addition, women also feel embarrassed to put water in the bed, so few women put water in the bed at night.

    In the past, there were only two things that could get into the bed of a northern man, one was a woman, and the other was a chamber pot.  Therefore, men have a special liking for chamber pots and have high requirements for the quality of chamber pots. The chamber pots of rich and prestigious men are often made of gold or silver, while those of slightly worse quality are made of copper, and iron ones are rare.  Ordinary chamber pots are made of porcelain or pottery. According to historical records, most chamber pots used by emperors were made of gold and were managed by personal eunuchs. Every night, the eunuch in charge of the chamber pots had to find out in advance where the emperor was going.  He spent the night at the concubine's house so that the chamber pot could be sent over in advance to the concubine who would be attending that night.

    Of course, it is still very difficult to find out in advance where the emperor will sleep, so the eunuch who manages the chamber pots will have to get a few more identical chamber pots. When they are ready, he will send them to the place where the emperor may sleep at night.  .  The chamber pots must be the same. Men like to use one chamber pot to drain water. If they are used to it, they will urinate easily. If they change to a new chamber pot, they will not be able to urinate easily.

    It¡¯s not a big problem for ordinary people if they can¡¯t pee, but it would be a big problem if the emperor couldn¡¯t pee because he had a new chamber pot.  The eunuch responsible for this task basically moved his head.

    When the emperor uses the chamber pot, he will not urinate by himself. He needs someone to serve him, so this person will be the concubine who will serve him that night.  Peeing is a hard work and requires strict training, otherwise it will be difficult to pee.

    The chamber pot should be wrapped in a quilt at night. It cannot be a cold chamber pot when used. The emperor is not kidding if it gets cold.  The emperor's little brother cannot be allowed to touch the edge of the chamber pot, and the quilt cannot be lifted. If it is lifted, the emperor will be frozen. Therefore, everything must be felt by hand. The remaining urine cannot be dripped on the quilt, and soft materials must be used.  Towel clean.  Do all this while not letting your body get cold, because if your body gets cold after urinating, you will freeze the emperor if you enter the emperor's bed again.  Therefore, women who want to become the emperor must undergo strict urine training. If they fail to pass the urine, they are not qualified to sleep with the emperor.

    Even Yuan Shikai and Zhang Zuolin used chamber pots.  And whoever manages to pee well will be particularly favored.

    To sum up, the chamber pot used by Emperor Yongzheng cannot be made of porcelain, but should be made of gold. However, the chamber pot used by Emperor Yongzheng has not been developed in the Forbidden City. It is thought that it was buried with him.  In addition, there is another point. The mouth of the emperor's royal chamber pot is generally larger than that used by ordinary people, because ordinary people will touch the side of the chamber pot, but the emperor's dragon whip cannot be touched. For the sake of safety,  , so the mouth is made slightly larger.

    ?????????????????? The chamber pot that my friend is currently holding has a mouth that is the same size as a normal chamber pot, which does not meet the royal requirements.  Finally, experts said that the porcelain mouth of this chamber pot was not delicate enough, and it did not come from an official kiln at all. Moreover, judging from the condition, it should be the craftsmanship after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the level was very average.

    Finally, the expert gave the price based on the current price of porcelain, which is about twenty or thirty yuan.

    After listening to the expert¡¯s narration, Mr. Zhang, a Tibetan friend, could only feel disappointed that afternoon.  Regarding the price given by the experts, the price given by Si Fengyi was the closest, so the etiquette lady brought another exquisite gift and sent it to Si Fengyi's table.  This is a very beautiful alarm clock.

    ??Subsequently, three more collectors came up one after another, each holding their own collections. Of course, some were real and some were fake. The real ones were naturally given a price, and the fake ones were smashed on the spot.

    However, when it came to guessing the prices of these three collections, it was Si Fengyi who gave the closest price, and Si Fengyi got three more exquisite gifts.  Even in this show, Si Fengyi has become the focus.

    Especially after the fifth collection came out, she showed the price, which was three million, and all the audience at that time let out a cry of exclamation.  It seems that Si Fengyi is the beacon of light tonight. If she says it is true, then the collection is true. If she says it is false, then it is false.

    But it¡¯s strange that Xiao Mei can guess it right every time, but it¡¯s a pity that at the priceAbove, there is always no one as close as Si Fengyi.  As for Yuan Ting, she never guessed correctly, and her mouth bulged with anger.

    She was very angry at the moment. Prizes and the like didn't matter at all. Moreover, it was just a game and she didn't care about it. But the key point was that she always lost to Si Fengyi, which made her feel particularly unhappy.

    Finally, the first collection that came out at the beginning was unveiled.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
