Chapter 47 Blue and white porcelain

Different from when Qianshan Xu appraised porcelain, it was so noisy when Kris was appraising. The former watched with respect and worship, while the latter as if was watching circus clowns. Honorary appraiser? Bah! Miss Xu was still too young to believe such a young man. Let's have a look. How foolish joke he would make. Xiaorou Xu couldn't help but got nervous. wasn’t Kris too confident? Wasn’t it a little arrogant that Kris identified it after her grandpa gave the result. If Kris made grandpa unhappy later, which was extremely bad. Kris looked around the blue and white porcelain, suddenly rose his finger and flicked on its porcelain. Making a crisp sound. "Stop it, if you broke it, could you afford it?" The middle-aged man's face changed and restrained him. Several antique shop owners also shook their heads when they saw his action. The son-in-law of the Su family was still too young. Although we needed to tap the body of porcelain with our hands when identifying porcelain, it was not like him, taping with his fingers, which was such unprofessional. In addition, a pair of white gloves were usually needed for treasure identification, firstly, which could prevent fingerprints from damaging antiques, secondly, which was to prevent slipping. "Eh" Qianshan said lightly, standing aside. Kris's movements seemed to be unprofessional, even a little playful, but it seemed that Qianshan had ever seen his unique way of identification. Shh! Kris put his finger on his mouth, then put his ear close to the porcelain, quietly listening to the reverberation of the porcelain. After that, Kris put down the porcelain, turned to Xiaorou and said, "how much does he want to sell this blue and white porcelain?" Without waiting for Xiaorou’s answer, the middle-aged man said: "800000 dollars, no bargaining." 800000 dollars? Kris narrowed his eyes and smiled in his heart. He immediately said to Xiaorou, " we can buy it with 800000 dollars." What Kris had learned most from Qian Wang was porcelain identification. The present blue and white porcelain in front of them, no matter its glaze color or texture, was as good as Qianshan had said. But its age could hardly be determined , because its pattern was actually a blonde foreigner. Kris originally agreed with Qianshan's appraisal, but he soon discovered the secret hidden in the bottom of porcelain. Its bottom was very thick and there was a layer of gray soil. Kris knew the soil which was the residue of glutinous rice juice. It was definitely a tabia. So Kris concluded that it must be a newly unearthed ware of the Ming dynasty. what? 800000 dollars to buy it? Before Xiaorou could react, people around her laughed. "Oh, it's killing me." "Guy, are you blind? Such a handicraft, we can buy it with only hundreds of dollars in the ceramic market." "Ha, 800000 dollars. Are you crazy?" Yu Su saw that Kris was made fun by them, then shook her head secretly. He was sure to offend Mr. Xu. Xiaorou's eyes were very complicated. She had thought he would make a surprise speech. It was unexpected that he agreed easily to spend 800000 dollars to buy the "modern crafts". She began to suspect whether it was a wrong decision to hire Kris as an honorary appraiser. Qianshan frowned, and looked a little angry. He turned and asked Xiaorou in a low voice, "is this the honorary appraiser you hired with 30000 dollars a month?" It was so fun. To hire this guy, let alone 30000 dollars, even 3000 dollars, he didn't think the guy was worth it. Xiaorou bit her lips, but didn't speak. Her beautiful face just turned red. At the moment, the middle-aged man laughed loudly and walked forward to pat Kris on the shoulder: "You do know the goods." Kris smiled and did not reply. Seeing that his granddaughter was so ashamed that her face turned red, Qianshan didn't have the heart to blame her. So he turned to vent his anger on Kris: "you just tell me why it is worth 800000 dollars." Let alone 800000 dollars, it was even worth eight million dollars! Buying the porcelain wouldn’t make one lose . Kris thought to himself, but said calmly, "don't get angry, sir. Give a brush to me first, and you will understand." Qianshan had already been a little impatient. When he heard Kris ask a brush, he felt that the young man in front of him was not outright at all. He was a man who spoke directly. Now the impression of Kris got even worse for him. He snorted coldly and said to Jun Yang, "Yang, go and give him a brush. I'd like to see what medicine his gourd sell!" "OK!" As Jun heard the order, he quickly took a special brush from the counter which was especially for brushing the antique dust. "Sir, this is the brush you want!" After receiving the brush from Jun, Kris said, "Oh, I almost forgot it. Please bring me a pair of white gloves and a file." Jun did not move. He just looked at the old man. Qianshan said angrily, "what do you look? Just get it!" "Alright" Jun replied injuredly, turned around and took out a pair of white gloves and a file, then handed it to Kris. Kris put on gloves and put blue and white porcelain mouth down, bottom up, then picked the file and started grinding gently. When he was grinding, He also used a brush to brush away the dust. Seeing Kris's movements, all of them didn't speak. Each of them stretched their necks out to avoid missing Kris’ step. The tabia on bottom was very thick. Kris used a file to grind it carefully. The process was bound to be long. At the beginning, the crowd just felt novel. As time went on, the crowd became restless. "Shit, the fool just uses a file to grind the bottom of porcelain. Isn’t he afraid to broke the porcelain through? " "Alas, it is obviously that the bottom was so thick when it was burned to mold. He doesn’t even know it." Mr. Xu who was an acute man was getting even more upset when he listened people’s words. When the middle-aged man saw Kris grinding the bottom of vase with a file, he hurriedly said, "you see, he grinds my porcelain with a file. Whether you buy it or not, you have abraded it, you must pay 800000 dollars for it." Kris didn't speak and was concentrating on grinding the porcelain. As the time went by, little by little, the original thick tabia was cut away by Kris with a file, revealing the original appearance of blue and white porcelain bottom. "Manager Yang, please help me to get a bottle of water. There is last little left at the bottom which is not easy to grind with a file." Kris politely said to the sleepy Jun. Hearing Kris's words, Jun got up his spirit, took a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Kris. "Thanks!" Kris replied. he took the water, unscrewed the cap and poured it at the bottom of porcelain. Gradually, a magical scene happened. A red seal appeared at the bottom. Kris was so happy that it just was what he expected. He couldn't help but speed up his movements. Five minutes later, Kris stopped. Keeping an action for a long time, Kris felt the muscle ache sorely. Although the process was quite uncomfortable, the result made him very excited. "Just look, what’s this!" Kris said to Qianshan and others, held the bottom of porcelain to them. Qianshan, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, hurriedly walked over. When he clearly saw the red seal at the bottom of porcelain, he was surprised: "blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty!"
