Chapter 68 tit for tat
The entire auction hall was filled with needles, and no one dared to make a sound to disturb the old man who was observing carefully on the stage.
Qin Huai looked at it very carefully, leaving almost no place, and he wanted to split the entire coin and appreciate it one by one.
"Just Mr. Xue just said that this ancient coin was a fake?" After a while, Qin Huai put down his magnifying glass and threw his eyes on the silent Xue Yan.
Xue Yan gritted his teeth and went to the stage, saying in front of each other, "Yes."
Qin Huai laughed, "Why are you sure it's a fake?"
"The treasure of the country, such as the Great Qi Tongbao, was the first currency after Li Bing ascended the throne. It is conceivable how much he valued it. How could he allow the lowest-level mistakes like copper flowing to happen to his own coins?" Xue Qing asked.
Qin Huai replied, "That's because this is not a coin that was officially released from the kiln."
Xue Yan's pupils gathered, and then he reacted and couldn't help laughing loudly, "Old Qin clearly said that this currency is a fake."
The guests present also heard the implicit sound. They were either coins that were serious and were naturally imitated.
Aren’t imitations just fakes?
Qin Huai waved his hand, "Don't laugh, I think Miss Gu understands my implication, right?"
Gu Yichen also walked onto the stage, facing Xue Qi who was smiling and leaning backward with a villain's proud expression, nodding, "I understand what this means."
Qin Huai smiled, "The little girl told me, let me hear it, see if this is the younger wave of the Yangtze River pushing the older wave, and the younger one is better than the younger one."
Gu Yichen said bluntly, "Before my country manufactures circulating currency, it will publish several experimental products to determine the perfect model after the official currency appears."
Xue Qi's face froze, and he understood.
Gu Yichen said again, "Although there may not be such comprehensive mechanical manufacturing in ancient times and repeated consideration of experiments, kiln workers will carefully experiment with a batch of cultural relics on a small scale. The Daqi Tongbao in front of them should be the experimental items before the Daqi Tongbao officially began to be produced."
"Why did the little girl say that?" Qin Huai asked knowingly.
Gu Yichen continued to explain, "The simplest flaw of flowing copper should be that the metal copper was too heavy and bubbled during the experiment. After repeated modulation, the perfect Daqi Tongbao today was created."
"This is just what you said, and everyone can also regard this as your own boastful statement." Qin Huai retorted.
Gu Yichen covered his mouth and smiled, "It is recorded in Li Bing's miscellaneous notes. It is translated into vernacular Chinese as the first batch of Daqi Tongbao's surface flowing copper, with a few residues. After repeated consideration, this most basic problem was solved."
"The first batch?" Qin Huai asked again.
Gu Yichen affirmed, "Yes, the first batch."
Xue Yin looked at the two people who were singing double acts and couldn't even insert a word.
He had not read any miscellaneous notes of Li Bing, but there was a rough record in the biography that Tongbao of Daqi was circulated in the world after being released from the kiln three times.
As for where the first and second batches went, no one knew.
Gu Yichen faced Xue Qi who had nothing to say and said, "It was because I saw the surface copper flowing on this big Qi Tongbao that I confirmed that it was genuine. But this became a fake method that Senior Xue questioned, which really made me laugh and cry."
"You-" Xue Qing's face turned red and his neck was thick.
"A senior like Senior Xue, the books he has read, stories he has heard, and the allusions he knows should be more accurate than me." Gu Yichen shook his head, "Maybe someone is too conceited and forgets his nature, so he opens his eyes and tells lies."
"How do I know whether what you said is true or false? What you are talking about is just a miscellaneous note. Miscellaneous note is half true and half false." Xue Yan asked gritted his teeth, and the voice was so loud that almost the whole audience could hear it clearly.
Qin Huai covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "I have read this book, too."
Xue Yan's face turned dark and pointed at the two men who were colluding with each other, "I can tell what you two just said, you are from the same group."
"Old Xue, I am not your junior. If you really have qualifications, you have to call me a senior." Qin Huai's face turned dark, probably because he was annoyed.
Xue Qing raised her head and chest with no intention of giving in. He said, "I only know that people who are called experts and professors in our industry should be responsible for what they say. Mr. Qin announced that he would no longer interfere in antiques. Now that he is in a hurry, you, who is so untrustworthy, have no credibility in your words."
"When encountering unfair and unjust things, I think anyone will put aside their principles and stand up. This is human nature." Qin Huai glanced at the other party indifferently, "There are no fewer experts here. Since Mr. Xue doesn't believe what I say, I have to ask everyone, does Mr. Qin still have credibility?"
"Teacher Qin, you are so serious. In our eyes, you are the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who says it. If you don't have credibility, then who else can we believe in this market?" One person stood up.
"Yes, yes, we have witnessed Teacher Qin's ability with our own eyes. It's really not just a cat or a dog that can question and refute."
