Chapter 251 Hard-to-Eat (Part 2)

"Huh? Fang Yi, this... is this the candlestick you just got?"

Originally, Hua Ziyi didn't care about Fang Yi's bronze candlestick because the chance of picking up bargains on the street stall was too small. However, when the newspaper was completely unfolded, Hua Ziyi was stunned at the bronze candlestick and even put the tea that had just been brewed aside.

"That's it. Haven't you and Chuxia always watched what I held?" Fang Yi answered casually.

"Yes...but this is a big door opening thing..." Looking at the bronze candlestick placed on the table, Hua Ziyi murmured to himself, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Fang Yi, what does it mean to open the door?" Although Bai Chuxia has also followed cases related to cultural relics, she didn't know much about this industry after all, so Xiang Fang Yi started asking.

"Open the door wide, it means that the things are more real, you can see at a glance..." Fang Yi didn't even go to Guan Hua Ziyi, who was staring at the bronze candlestick, and explained to Bai Chuxia in a low voice. In fact, he also learned it now and sold it. This knowledge has only been learned in recent months.

In antique shops, there are sayings about opening doors and having a look. The so-called opening doors means that no matter whether they are in the characteristics, shapes, patterns, signs, aging traces and patinas, etc., it is confirmed that they are genuine, the people in the shop often call such things "open doors" or "cuts" items.

Of course, there are names such as open doors and one-sighted goods, so naturally there are sayings of fake doors and fake doors. If an object is used to feel shoddy and full of flaws, then such things will be called fake ones, which is exactly the opposite of opening the door.

However, what Hua Ziyi shouted at this moment was opened, which means that the bronze candlestick that Fang Yitao got was probably a real object. You must know that things that opened the door were difficult to fake, especially bronze ware. The patina of time could not be fermented after being buried in the toilet for a few days.

"Brother Hua, is it really... really something that opens the door?"

Hua Ziyi's words made Wu Tianbao next to him stunned. Although he had a little expectation when Hua Ziyi opened the newspaper, the chance of getting real things on the street stall was not much different from winning five million in lottery. Wu Tianbao was naturally shocked when he really won the prize.

"It shouldn't be wrong..."

Hua Ziyi looked carefully at the bronze candlestick in his hand and whispered, "Although the shape of this thing is rare, the patina is definitely old. The whole patina is thick and there is no trace of thief. It is not the old one made behind it, but at least it was an object from the Tang Dynasty..."

I don’t know when the bronze candlestick originally had become shiny and restrained. Just by looking at it with your eyes, it gives people a feeling of sinking into the vicissitudes of history. The rust spots on it also seem to tell the hardships it has endured for thousands of years.

"My buddy spent most of his spiritual sense, and he could only get this thing to the Han and Tang dynasties..."

Listening to Hua Ziyi's explanation, Fang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Fang Yi didn't feel much when playing with beads in the past, but letting this bronze candlestick render the mark of history took a lot of effort.

Just as Hua Ziyi was making tea, Fang Yi silently recited the scriptures and blessed the candlestick with his spiritual sense. What he did not expect was that more than half of his spiritual sense was exhausted, and this candlestick had the breath of history. The cold sweat on the end came from this.

"Brother Hua, is this thing real?"

Fang Yi showed a look of surprise on his face, and he laughed, saying, "It's worth two hundred yuan to exchange for a real thing. Haha, Brother Hua, do you think I'm a good story in the antiques business?"

"Of course, your kid's luck is really amazing..."

Hua Ziyi nodded repeatedly, with an envious look in his eyes. He remembered that he had been wandering around Panjiayuan all day and never saw an old object. Unexpectedly, Fang Yi picked up a big leak for the first time.

"Hehe, this thing needs to be packed. When I go back, I will show it to the teacher..." Fang Yi hurriedly took the bronze candlestick from Hua Ziyi's hand and wanted to wrap it in newspapers. He had no intention of getting it to Wu Tianbao next to him.

"Hey, Mr. Fang, wait a moment..." Seeing Fang Yi's actions, Wu Tianbao couldn't help but say, "Mr. Fang, I don't know if you can let me see this object?"

Not to mention that I have been looking for bronze ware, even if I don’t need it, Wu Tianbao wanted to see such a big leak. But when he saw that Fang Yi had no intention of showing him, Wu Tianbao started to speak.

"Boss Wu also understands bronze ware?" Fang Yi said reluctantly, and did not take away the hand pressed on the bronze ware.

"I understand a little bit, I am a person who learns a lot and I don't know anything, but I know a little about everything..."

Wu Tianbao smiled and said, "Mr. Fang has missed it for several years in Panjiayuan. I must promote it to Mr. Fang carefully. There are still good things in our Panjiayuan..."

"Fang Yi, it's nothing to show him..." Bai Chuxia also said to her side. Bai Chuxia was very happy that her boyfriend had such a vision.

"Okay, you can take a look..." Fang Yi took his hand away. I don't know if it was Bai Chuxia's persuasion that worked, or was moved by the word "propaganda" mentioned by Wu Tianbao, so he took it away.

"Yes, it's a big open door, and this thing is rare..."

Wu Tianbao and Hua Ziyi represent two different factions in the identification of antiques. Hua Ziyi belongs to the academic school. Although there are many real objects, they use various methods of verification to identify the authenticity of something.

But Wu Tianbao is just the opposite. He is the so-called folk appraiser. Over the past ten years, he probably has to spend hundreds of thousands of real and fake antiques. As soon as he gets started, he knows the approximate years. Although he can take medicine, he can at least six or seven out of the ten things.

"Old Wu, I can probably guess the year of this thing, but I can't tell what the origin is..."

Hua Ziyi was also a little curious about this candlestick. According to the knowledge he learned, few such elephant-shaped things were unearthed in China, because in ancient times, elephants were extremely rare animals.

"This thing should be something from the ancient Siam period, corresponding to the Han Dynasty in our country..."

Seeing that Hua Ziyi could not tell the origin of this thing, Wu Tianbao was a little proud. While playing with the bronze candlestick in his hand, he spoke: "In the Han Dynasty, not only the Silk Road was opened, but also traded with Thailand, ancient Siam and other countries at that time. This thing should be used by families with certain status in ancient Siam. Later, it was traversed to our country as a commodity, so it has such a unique and rare shape..."

"Hmm? It makes sense. Then our country will not produce elephants..."

Hearing Wu Tianbao's words, Hua Ziyi nodded. He knew that the ancient Siam that Wu Tianbao mentioned was the current Thailand, and it was prosperous for a period of time in ancient times. It was not surprising that such bronze ware could be made.

"Boss Wu, have you seen it?" Fang Yi frowned when he heard Wu Tianbao's words and asked, "Is this candlestick really flowing from Thailand? Not from our country?"

"Ancient Siam is indeed Thailand today..."

Wu Tianbao rubbed the bronze candlestick with his hands and said confidently: "There is an 80% possibility that was transmitted from Thailand at that time, and there is another 20% possibility that it was made by the Han Dynasty's orders responsible for managing foreign affairs based on the elephants tributed abroad..."

Based on the degree of the bronze candlestick patina, Wu Tianbao judged that this thing should have existed before Emperor Wu of Han. During Emperor Jing of Han, officials in charge of diplomatic affairs were called the Great Revolution, and it was because Wu Tianbao had such a statement.

"How did you pick up something from abroad?"

Hearing Wu Tianbao's words, Fang Yi's displeasure expression became more and more obvious, and he said, "I'll take this thing back, don't be laughed at by the teacher? He must have said that before I could figure out the cultural relics in China, I started to collect the world..."

"Haha, if Mr. Sun saw this, he might really say that..."

Hearing Fang Yi's words, Hua Ziyi couldn't help laughing. He worked with Sun Lianda for several years and knew Sun Lianda very well. If the old man's mouth hurts people, it is really not something that ordinary people can withstand.

"Old Sun? Who is Mr. Sun?" Wu Tianbao was stunned when he heard this and asked carefully.

"Who else is Sun, Mr. Sun from Jinling..." Hua Ziyi pointed to Fang Yi and said, "Fang Yi is Mr. Sun's disciple. You can get closer to him if you have nothing to do in the future..."

"Brother Hua..." Fang Yi looked at Hua Ziyi with dissatisfaction.

"Just say casually, just say casually..."

After Fang Yi looked at it, Hua Ziyi suddenly woke up. He said that he didn't even want to have more contact with Wu Tianbao, a messenger, let alone Fang Yi, who had a holiday with Wu Tianbao-
