Chapter 281
Pottery was used as a daily necessities in ancient times, but in modern times, it is generally used as a craft collection.

The invention of pottery is the beginning of human beings using chemical changes to change natural properties, and it is one of the symbols of the development of human society from the Paleolithic Age to the Neolithic Age.In fact, pottery was born in Hongshan Culture and Yangshao Culture as early as 5000 years ago.In the era dominated by stone tools, tribes who mastered pottery firing technology could exchange pottery for a large number of other materials, because pottery was so versatile and its effects far surpassed stone tools. If nothing else, it was cooking Food, a heavy pot made of stone, how can its heating effect compare to that of a clay pot?It can be said that in the Stone Age, pottery was a very beautiful, practical and expensive daily necessities.

"Could it be that people in that era already knew how to pickle salted duck eggs?" Xu Zhuo was amazed. If this was the case, it would be considered a new archaeological discovery.

He observed the jar of salted duck eggs carefully, and found that they were very different. They were fossilized eggs one by one. There were more than [-] eggs, accounting for most of the volume of the clay pot. , Instantly understood the essence of these fossil eggs, what made him laugh secretly was that there were many fakes in this jar of fossil eggs, that is to say, more than twenty of them were fakes.

Because, under Xu Zhuo's "Appreciation of Treasures" ability, the genuine products will emit a misty brilliance, which is very miraculous and shows spirituality.It is probably because the antique has been old for a long time and has absorbed more or less aura of heaven and earth.The counterfeit ones have no "brilliance" at all.Moreover, Xu Zhuo has clairvoyant eyes, so he can see through its essence. Those fakes are filled with silt, wheat bran and the like, but on the outside, I don’t know what technology is used to process the thin iron sheet into the same color and texture as fossil salted duck eggs.Moreover, he reckoned that the weights were about the same, otherwise people would be able to tell if they were true or false by weighing them with their hands.These fakes are extremely realistic, if not for his myriad eyes, it would be difficult to detect them.

"You two, this is a salted duck egg from the Neolithic Age, which shows that humans in that era had already learned to pickle salted duck eggs, which is of great significance. Well, if such a fossil egg is put up for auction, it may fetch hundreds of dollars. The price of [-] yuan, if the two of you accept it, you will definitely earn a lot of money!" The stall owner was secretly happy and strongly recommended it.Of course, no one knows whether it can be sold for millions of dollars, but this does not prevent the stall owner from boasting.

This altar of salted duck egg fossils has been here for a long time, but no one cares about it. What the stall owner didn't know was that one of the most important reasons was that he was greedy and mixed so many fakes into it, resulting in salted duck egg fossils. too many.In the antique world, large quantities of antiques are worthless.In addition, ordinary people, even some experts, are quite uncertain about this jar of salted duck eggs.

"How much is the bid?" Xu Zhuo pulled Gao Meng to sit down on the stool that the stall owner had prepared in front of the vendor, then nodded slightly to the stall owner, and then asked.

The stall owner looked around and said in a low voice: "The jar is 30 yuan, and the duck egg is 36 yuan. There are 390 duck eggs here, which is just the same as the sky, and the total price is [-] million yuan! No bargaining, no retail sale!"

"You really don't want to bargain?" Xu Zhuo asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The stall owner suddenly felt something was wrong, but he nodded vigorously and said, "Yes! No bargaining! It's already the lowest price, if you can't negotiate, I'll pay for it!" After finishing speaking, He also showed an expression of being very hard-pressed, and it was not easy to do some business.

Xu Zhuo thought in his heart, your expression is very good, every eyelash and eyebrow is a show, you can go to win the Oscar gold award!He naturally did not believe the stall owner's nonsense.

"Well, Boss, I'm going to make a choice, you look after it!" Xu Zhuo said with a slight smile.

"Pick it by hand? Pick what?" The stall owner said with a sudden heart, but still calmly, pretending to be surprised.

"Of course it is to pick out fakes. There are more than [-] duck eggs in your jar that are adulterated. If I don't pick them out, I will be at a disadvantage?" Xu Zhuo said with a smile.

"What?" The stall owner was shocked, but at the same time very suspicious, he thought, this guy is not lying to me?That fake master is a master in the industry. He once said that the antiques he faked can be seen from all over the country with no more than five fingers. If my grandparents had no friendship with that master, I would not be able to ask for it. His old man helped out, this kid is still young, and he still wants to pick fakes?

The stall owner was a little suspicious at first, but then he shook his head abruptly, expressing his disbelief, and bit him to death, saying: "Young man, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. Everything here is genuine, where are the fakes!" The room is very angry.

Seeing that there seems to be a tendency to quarrel here, Chinese people like to watch this excitement, so many people around come around, even if they don't come, they all look at this side with a smile, wanting to see Xu Zhuo and the others are torn apart.

"Then watch it, I'm going to pick it!" The jar of salted duck eggs happened to be on the outside, Xu Zhuo could pick it directly without getting up, and immediately took out one from inside and handed it to the stall owner. Said, "You take a piece of soft cloth to connect it, it doesn't matter if you don't connect it, anyway, this product can't stand the test."

"Don't spout blood!" The stall owner refused to answer and shouted angrily.

Xu Zhuo sneered, he couldn't help but shed tears when he saw the coffin, and immediately pinched his fingers quietly, and the "fossil salted duck egg" that looked quite solid broke apart, and a lot of sand and wheat bran flowed out.

Xu Zhuo spread it in his palm and showed it to the stall owner. The aggressive aura of the stall owner suddenly weakened, and the people around laughed when they saw this.

Some people couldn't stand it anymore, shook their heads, and accused Xu Zhuo instead, saying, "Young man, that's not how things are done. Even if it's a fake, it's fine if you don't buy it. How can you dismantle others?"

Gao Meng shouted dissatisfied: "This guy wants to deceive us, so we have to be polite to him? Do you want to keep him and continue to deceive others in the future? Do you know that people in our antique business cannot stand being deceived? To cheat is to lose one's property, ruin one's family and ruin one's family! I hate liars the most in my life!" He admired Xu Zhuo more and more at this moment, he couldn't tell the real salted duck eggs, and Xu Zhuo easily picked out a fake one.

"Being cheated is because he has no ability. If he can't afford to lose, he is not suitable for the antique industry. Survival of the fittest is the law of nature, which is applicable to every industry." The man retorted, it seemed reasonable, but it was all fallacy heresy.

Gao Meng wanted to argue, but Xu Zhuo waved his hand lightly, signaling him not to argue.

"Masters, why don't you leave? Don't mess with me like this." The stall owner begged in a crying voice, just wanting to send the two plague gods away as soon as possible.

Xu Zhuo stared and said, "I haven't bought it yet, how do I get there?"

"What, you still want to buy it?" People around were surprised, and the stall owner was also surprised.

Xu Zhuo raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, if you don't buy it, what should I choose?"

Looking back at the people around, he explained again: "Although there are many fakes in this jar of fossilized salted duck eggs, there are still real ones inside. I only want the real ones, not fake ones."

"What a big breath!"

"That's what he said, as if he has a pair of piercing eyes!"

People around were not convinced. Of course, there were also a few who admired him and wanted to stay and see if Xu Zhuo really had this ability.

Gao Meng said in his heart: "Don't be unconvinced, I will teach you how to be human in a few minutes!"

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xu Zhuo began to pick. Every time he picked one, he handed it to the boss, and asked him to connect it with a soft cloth so as not to damage it. , but Xu Zhuo picked out more than ten pieces in a row, all of which were imitations. I threw the salted duck eggs in the cardboard box at my feet.

This kind of imitation is extremely realistic, and only the stall owner can tell the difference through the secret trick taught by the old master. At this time, Xu Zhuo picked out all the imitations. How can you not be surprised?
Although the onlookers couldn't tell the difference, they knew the expression and actions of the stall owner. Some people secretly rejoiced that they didn't buy this jar of salted duck eggs before, otherwise, their intestines would turn green with regret at this time. .In the antique business, one has always paid attention to buying and leaving, and is willing to bet and admit defeat.You want to pick up other people's faults, but you don't know, others also want to pick up your faults?This is the rule of the antique industry for thousands of years. If you buy a fake, you will consider yourself unlucky, and you have taken medicine.Of course, if you miss it, that's your good luck, and the original owner won't come to ask for a refund afterwards.

Xu Zhuo picked out a total of 24 eggs, and when there were only twelve eggs left, he stopped and said, "I want this jar and the salted duck eggs in it. It's 150 million in total, right? You said you don't bargain, no Negotiable!"

The stall owner suddenly had a frowning face, and said in his heart, I also said that there are no retail sales. Who knew that you are so godly, with such vicious eyes, that you actually picked out all the imitations. Well, let's say it again.It's not easy to change the previous price at will. If you want to blame it, you can blame yourself for talking too much.
