Chapter 151 Baoyou, Your Father Is a Real Master

"This is the pattern, brothers."

After the treasure friend who identified the salted fish from the Han Dynasty left, Zhang Yang looked at the barrage and couldn't help but sigh.

[Teacher, are there any cultural relics like salted fish?]

“Not only are there, but there are many.”

After seeing the barrage question, Zhang Yang answered immediately.

"Actually, it's not just salted fish. Many foods have been passed down for thousands of years and have been preserved and turned into cultural relics."

"Eggs from the Western Zhou Dynasty, rice dumplings from the Northern Song Dynasty, pig trotters from the Han Dynasty..."

"Every time a cultural relic of this kind is discovered, it will almost immediately become a museum collection because it is so rare."

"To be honest, if Baoyou hadn't mentioned the career issue just now, I would have asked him if he would be willing to donate it to the museum behind me."

While Zhang Yang was talking, several more treasure friends were queuing up backstage.

At Xu Jie's reminder, he quickly connected to the next treasure friend.

This time, Baoyou showed me a panoramic view of the antique rack as soon as he came up.

It was densely covered with porcelain.

"You have an incredible collection!"

Zhang Yang glanced at it with a complicated expression.

Call this treasure friend poor, there are at least dozens of pieces of porcelain on the shelf, and two of them are quite open;

You could say he was rich. This was the first time Zhang Yang had seen someone place porcelain so densely.

There are several rows on each floor, and it's a bit unclear what the next rows are.

Baoyou's words clearly explained the reason why he acted like this.

"These are all left by my father. There were three antique shelves before, but then they took up a lot of space, so they were all moved together."

In this regard, Zhang Yang commented in four words:

"A waste of natural resources."

"Are these things real? I don't understand!" Baoyou said doubtfully: "My father said they are all real, but I feel that most of them are fake."

When he said this, he very casually used two fingers to pinch the rim of a bamboo hat and bowl, and lifted the things out.

"Brother, don't hold it like this, the remaining three fingers can still be used."

Zhang Yang was really a little scared when he saw the other party's gesture. It's easy to knock even an ordinary rice bowl like this.

It would be a pity if it was broken off.

"It's okay, I think this is fake."

Baoyou didn't believe in evil, and when he got it halfway, the edge of the bowl knocked on the shelf.

With the mentality of "respecting the fate of others", Zhang Yang said no more.

Check it out.

"..."

"Production time: 718 years"

"Detailed information: The classic style of ZB kiln in the Tang Dynasty represented the highest craftsmanship of the northern kilns at that time. Although it was a private kiln, it still has a high collection value."

"This is a piece of black porcelain from the ZB kiln. There is nothing wrong with it. It is from the Tang Dynasty."

"Is this bowl from the Tang Dynasty?" Baoyou couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's true. During the Tang Dynasty, ZB kiln was the most famous kiln in the north, and its masterpiece was a bowl like this."

After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Baoyou silently put the bowl back to its place.

[This man’s father is a master]

[This is the first time I have seen someone appraise porcelain from the Tang Dynasty]

[This person was very casual just now, but now he doesn’t dare to take it]

"Teacher, can you help me see if the things on this shelf are still real?"

"You ask that, and my answer is: Still more."

"Are there any particularly valuable ones?" Baoyou asked.

Zhang Yang looked at it for a while and shook his head: "It's hard to estimate this."

"It's okay, teacher, just tell me the reference price. I won't rely on you."

"You misunderstood. What I said about inconvenient valuation is because the real things on your shelf are all high-grade ancient porcelain, and now the country does not allow trading at all."

Because this treasure friend was too unprofessional, Zhang Yang specially added:

"High ancient porcelain is from before the Yuan Dynasty. It is not allowed to be sold in China now."

"But I've seen on Douyin that auction houses like Christie's and Sotheby's have auctioned a lot of porcelain from the Song Dynasty?"

Zhang Yang didn't expect Baoyou to ask questions, but for someone who had already held auctions in China, the answer was very simple.

"The auction houses you mentioned, first of all, they auction in Xiangjiang."

“Secondly, they almost never collect auction items from the outside, and they only send them in from senior collectors and members of the auction house.”

"The export of cultural relics is very difficult now. You can't send these things out at all."

After hearing this, Baoyou was a little disappointed and sighed:

"I thought this piece from the Tang Dynasty could be sold for some money!"

"This amount is too big and not very valuable."

Zhang Yang glanced at it, maybe because the output of ZB kiln was too large, the international reference price given by big data was less than 100,000.

The value of porcelain depends on the type, subject matter, age, kiln mouth, craftsmanship and existing stock.

If you want to sell for a sky-high price, both are indispensable.

"On this floor, take out the colorful little man and take a look."

Zhang Yang directed Baoyou to pick up a colorful figure ornament.

"Do you know what this is?"

"This is... a lady." Baoyou reluctantly gave the answer.

"This is a red and green lady's ornament from the Cizhou kiln in the Jin Dynasty." Zhang Yang gave the standard answer.

This is what the description of the auction items says.

"This is basically the originator of my country's colored porcelain, and it can be entered into a museum."

After Zhang Yang said this, Baoyou quickly put down his things again.

I guess I have done a lot of knocking on porcelain before.

"Teacher, I originally wanted to find an antique dealer to buy all these things."

"I connected with you today because I wanted to have a bottom line in my heart. Now I am a little afraid to sell them."

"It should be." Zhang Yang nodded and said jokingly: "If you find someone to buy them now, it will be a fishing enforcement."

"Yes, please help me see if there are any precious ones, I will remember them."

"Okay, look at the sky blue bowl on the second layer... Yes, it's what you mean."

This is a sky blue glaze bowl of Jun kiln in the Song Dynasty that made Zhang Yang envious.

Although it is worth only more than one million yuan, it is definitely a fine product among Song Dynasty porcelains, a mountain that porcelain collectors cannot avoid.

"Look at the bottom layer again."

"The last row of this layer are all celadon from the early Yuan Dynasty and Hutian Kiln in Jingdi Town..."

After looking at the porcelain on the entire antique shelf, Zhang Yang conservatively estimated that the authenticity rate is more than 70%.

This authenticity rate alone at least beats 99% of porcelain collectors in the country.

However, what surprised Zhang Yang the most was not how many genuine pieces there were, but that the father of this treasure friend was a kiln expert.

"My treasure friend, your father really understood several ancient porcelain kilns, such as ZB kiln, Hutian kiln, Cizhou kiln, etc."

"If you think it is really a nuisance to keep it at home, our Hailin Museum accepts paid donations."

[Although late, but it is here]

[The look in Master Zhang's eyes when he looked at the Jun kiln just now, I knew this would happen]

[The anchor still couldn't help it]

[Museums can do whatever they want]

The barrage was "ridiculing", but Zhang Yang said this with a clear conscience.

The money earned by the museum at the auction must be spent.

This time, Master Wang came back and taught Zhang Yang a little trick:

[When the museum knows that the source of the cultural relics is illegal, but not collecting them will lead to damage or loss of the cultural relics, then after applying to the relevant departments, these cultural relics can be protected]

In short, even if it is obviously something from tomb robbers, as long as an application is made to the cultural relics department in advance, it can be bought in the name of the museum.

Of course, it is best to cooperate in catching the tomb robbers afterwards, otherwise there will be suspicion of taking the tomb robbers as your own.

In response to Zhang Yang's kindness, Baoyou only replied: "Thank you, teacher."

However, as soon as he disconnected the microphone, Zhang Yang saw that there was an additional friend request in the background of his account.
