"It's Mr. Shang. Isn't the white jade cicada in that boy's hand a fake?"

"Who is Mr. Shang? Is he famous?"

"No, you don't even know Mr. Shang? His name is Shang Tian, ​​and he is a famous antique appraiser in the East China Sea. I only know that he will come here for a few rounds after a while, and rarely takes action, but once he does, he will definitely

Picking up leaks, he is an eagle-level buyer, nicknamed the 'one-eyed old man'."

The surrounding vendors talked about it one after another.

While he was talking, Shang Tian had already walked over. He was full of energy and looked straight at the white jade cicada in Tang Long's hand.

Tang Long handed it over casually and said with a smile: "Of course."

After Shang Tian took the white jade cicada, he measured it carefully a few times, and finally said with a condensed expression, "How about selling it to me for 100,000 yuan?"

One hundred thousand?

Tang Long rolled his eyes at Shang Tian and said angrily: "Senior, are you kidding? This is a genuine product. From the carving point of view, this white jade cicada uses the jade cicada sword technique. The jade cicada sword technique in the Han Dynasty is simple, rough and powerful.

The sword has a sharp edge, also known as the 'Eight Swords of the Han Dynasty'. The shape of the cicada is thinner and larger than that of the Warring States Period. We pay attention to the selection of jade materials. The jade color is white, the surface is smooth and clean, the lines are straight, the tip is sharp, and the edge is sharp.

Its edge is like a knife cut, with no cracks or rough edges. The sharp edge of the tail has a pricking feeling. Most of the lines are straight lines. Looking at the white jade cicada's eyes, they have jumped outside the outline, and there are enough horizontal lines on the tail.

The Twelve Paths are definitely treasures from the middle and late Western Han Dynasty. They are rare in the world. Don't you think one hundred thousand is a bit low?"

"this?"

Shang Tian blushed and said with a dry smile: "Haha, let's do this. I'll pay you one million and ask my brother to sell it to me."

"What? Is everything this kid said true?"

"That's amazing. He is only twenty-four or five years old, but I didn't expect to know so much."

"Haha, I guess Lao Wangtou will regret it to death. That's one million."

Other vendors cheered.

Lao Wangtou blushed, his face full of regret.

But that's how the antique business is. If you can pick up your mistakes, others can pick up your mistakes. There's nothing to complain about. It's just your own poor eyesight.

Soon, Shang Tian transferred one million to Tang Long.

Shang Tian put away the white jade cicada and said with a smile: "Old man Shang Tian, ​​thanks to the love of my friends in the circle, they call me an old man."

"My name is Tang Long. I just came to East China Sea not long ago." Seeing Shang Tian reported his name, Tang Long had no choice but to say his name.

However, Tang Long could see that the Shang Tian in front of him was not very convinced.

In any case, Shang Tian has an "old man's eyes". Like ordinary antiques, you can tell the authenticity from the fake with just one glance.

Shang Tian glanced at Lao Wangtou's stall and said with a solemn expression: "Little friend Tang, why don't we make a bet and see who gets the value of the antique he chooses? The loser will give the antique to the other party. What do you think?"

"Haha, I don't have to watch anymore." Tang Long refused with a smile.

Shang Tian chuckled and said, "Humph, it's useless. I think you're scared, right? Coward!"

"What did you say?" Tang Long said angrily.

Shang Tian hummed: "Just asking you, do you dare or not? If you don't have the guts, you don't have to accept the challenge."

"Ding, the host has triggered a mission and slaps the old man in the face hard to prove that he is a man. Do you accept it?"

Damn it, I can’t even accept this.

Tang Long was a soldier, and he had an unwillingness to admit defeat in his bones. Naturally, he could not be a coward.

Tang Long laughed angrily and said, "Okay, I'll bet with you."

"Hey, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Who is Mr. Shang? He is a great picker of antiques in the antique street."

"Yes, how could a young boy win over Mr. Shang?"

"Tch, there's no shame in losing. At least you can go out and brag about it."

Some buyers and stall owners gave Tang Long a look of contempt.

Tang Long didn't say anything and said righteously: "I won't bully you, why don't you pick first?"

"Boy, you are so crazy. Do you know what Mr. Shang's nickname is?"

"Mr. Shang, slap him in the face hard. How dare a foreigner be so arrogant?"

Some Donghai locals also cheered.

Shang Tian also snorted, pointed at the rhino horn cup on the stall and said, "I choose that rhino horn cup."

"Ding, name: Rhinoceros Horn Cup."

"Era: Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty."

"Identification method: The surface of the cup has a slight jade luster, with a few black cracks. There is a triangular area at the bottom of the cup that is black. The rhino horn cup adds to the aroma of the wine. The rhino horn cup is used to hold water, and there is medicine in the horn.

The ingredients used will also dissolve in the water.”

"Identification result: genuine."

"Valuation: around 400,000."

Tang Long glanced at the rhinoceros horn cup that Shang Tian selected, and soon a series of information appeared in his mind.

"Is it a rhino horn cup? This thing is more expensive than gold. It is known as 'one gram of horn, two grams of gold'."

"As expected of an old man, his eyes are really poisonous. This rhinoceros horn cup weighs at least 5,000 grams and should be worth more than 300,000."

Some buyers and vendors also talked about it.

Shang Tian handed it over casually and said confidently: "Do you want to grow eyes?"

Tang Long shook his head and said, "No need. According to legend, this was a cup that the general used to drink from the horse when he was on horseback and the emperor saw him off and gave him wine. Therefore, it is also called the "horse cup". Its estimated value is about 400,000."

Shang Tian's face warmed up and he said with a smile: "Well, that's a good point. Now it's your turn to choose."

It's probably very difficult to win.

The antiques that Tang Long could recognize could also be recognized by Shang Tian, ​​otherwise he would not be worthy of his reputation as an "old man with a single glance".

It seems that it can only be found among fakes.

No matter how powerful Shang Tian is, there will always be times when he is negligent.

Like other genuine items, such as snuff bottles and jade ring rings, most of them are seriously damaged and their value has been greatly reduced.

"Hey, I'm going to lose."

"Yes, this kid loses because he is too arrogant."

The people watching also felt sorry for him.

Suddenly, a black jade cicada appeared in front of him. Using his clairvoyance, Tang Long saw through it at a glance. It turned out that someone had spat out a layer of ink on the surface of the jade cicada.

"I choose this." Tang Long grabbed the black jade cicada with excitement on his face.

Shang Tian frowned slightly and sighed: "Hey, you lose. This jade cicada is a fake. The surface was smeared with a layer of ink by Lao Wangtou. Judging from the color, it should have been smeared before leaving the stall."

Lao Wangtou on the side blushed and said: "You are indeed an old man, these eyes are really poisonous."

Tang Long snorted: "Mr. Shang is too confident, isn't he?"

Click.

Tang Long squeezed it hard, and saw that the black jade cicada peeled off a layer of skin, revealing a golden color.

"This is this?" Mr. Shang's expression changed, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, I lost. This is a yellow jade cicada from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The price is still higher than that of the white jade cicada. It should be around 1.5 million."

Tang Long smiled and said: "Accept."

"Can you tell me how you can tell that the surface of this jade cicada has been plated with something?" Mr. Shang asked in confusion.

Tang Long pointed the yellow jade cicada at the sun and explained: "It's very simple, because the top of the yellow jade cicada has opposite eyes, and the color inside the small eyes is gold."

Mr. Shang said with a sudden look on his face: "I see, I have learned a lesson."

Tang Long bared his teeth and smiled, then took the rhinoceros horn cup from Shang Tian.
