Wei Chengbin was very good at forgery. When he burned paper Tang Sancai, he used the soil next to the tomb in order to simulate the smell of tomb soil that penetrated into his bones.
But it still cannot simulate the smell of Tang Dynasty tomb soil.
However, such sophisticated methods are obviously more than enough to deceive ordinary researchers, especially speculators like Cai Yan who are obsessed with "making great contributions"!
To be fair, Lin Ran did not want Wei Chengbin to go to jail, and he also understood that the funds and efforts of the National Palace Museum should not be squandered.
What's more, funds in this era are hard-earned. To watch it being wasted by such speculators is definitely not in line with Lin Ran's vision.
After some hesitation, Lin Ran stood up.
"Brother Cai Yan, wait a minute."
Cai Yan was stunned when he saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy walking out of the crowd.
Even though he added a brother, he still felt offended.
Cai Yan looked at him strangely: "What did you call me for?"
Lin Ran smiled and said: "Brother Cai, these three-color figurines in front of you are all fakes, so you don't have to waste your time."
?
Fake?
Cai Yan froze on the spot, and then asked: "What do you, a young boy, know?"
Someone among the onlookers recognized Lin Ran.
"Isn't this Brother Lin?"
"I saw him and Yang Jianlong together yesterday."
"Although Brother Lin has good vision, he is still a little behind compared to Researcher Cai."
Onlookers had mixed reactions to this.
Although Lin Ran became slightly famous after what happened last time.
But Cai Yan is a researcher at the National Palace Museum, would he be worse than him?
Lin Ran remained calm in the face of doubts.
He took a step forward and walked to the stall, and kindly reminded him: "Brother Cai Yan, the funds in the museum are not blown by strong winds, so they cannot be used indiscriminately."
Lin Ran's tone reminded Cai Yan of the curator who often reminded him.
He suddenly became unhappy: "You don't have to say anything. I have confirmed that these are genuine products, so I want to buy them. You said they are fakes, do you have proof?"
Lin Ran shook his head.
It's hard to persuade a hanged man with good words!
He could expose in public the fact that Wei Chengbin was engaged in pottery during his family's time, and he might be able to convince others.
But Lin Ran had other plans in mind.
Wei Chengbin is a talent and should not be buried!
At the very least, you shouldn’t be put off by this short-sighted villain in front of you!
No longer paying attention to Lin Ran's persuasion, Cai Yan put down his harsh words: "Wei Chengbin, please wait for me here for a while. I will raise the money in half an hour."
Cai Yan left without waiting for the stall owner to agree.
Before leaving, he relentlessly announced the other party's name. It was clear that he wanted to scare the other party and other buyers. It can be said that the behavior is no different from that of a street gangster!
Can you get the money in half an hour?I guess I had to find other staff members to piece it together.
Although Wei Chengbin did not agree, people around him still gave the Palace Museum face.
With Cai Yan's big hat, no one dared to come forward to inquire about the price.
The originally bustling stall suddenly became deserted.
Wei Chengbin was looking at Lin Ran with a strange look.
Because Lin Ran was the first person to say that he was selling fake goods!
He has been setting up a stall here for half a month, and everyone who has seen his stuff thinks it is genuine.
This is true for Zheng Xueming and Cai Yan of the Palace Museum.
Only the young people in front of me say they are fake!
Wei Chengbin looked calm on the surface, but was a little touched in his heart.
But he didn't think the young man could see the flaw.
After all, in Panjiayuan, there were many young people who loved to show off, and they regarded Lin Ran as one of them.
The people around were idle and continued to discuss.
"Brother Lin just said that this batch of Tang Sancai is fake."
"It's so funny. I really thought that if I win Yang Jianlong, I'll be a real person."
"That's right, Cai Yan from the National Palace Museum can't see things as accurately as he does?"
"Zheng Xueming also bought one some time ago. Looking at his ecstatic look, it is definitely authentic!"
Because of the appearance of Tang Sancai, more and more people were watching.
Wei Chengbin's performance can only be described as calm, with his hands folded in front of his chest, looking fearless.
"You bastard, what do you mean if you win Yang Jianlong, you are a person?"
Suddenly there was a burst of curses from the crowd.
Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh. The voice belonged to his eldest son Yang Jianlong.
After hearing Yang Jianlong's voice, everyone became quiet.
Can't be bothered.
Yang Jianlong pushed away the crowd, followed by Baimao and others.
He came to Lin Ran and said, "Godfather, I'm sorry, I was delayed by something this morning, so I'm here now."
"fine."
"Godfather, why did I hear them saying bad things about you when I came here?" Yang Jianlong said, scanning the crowd with malicious eyes.
The person who just made the sarcastic remarks could not help but lower his head, or turn around and pretend that nothing happened.
He didn't know what Lin Ran had done, but he absolutely trusted his godfather!
Lin Ran briefly told Yang Jianlong what had just happened.
Yang Jianlong was just about to open his mouth to scold everyone, but Lin Ran grabbed his sleeve.
"Just watch, don't talk too much." Lin Ran wanted to see how Cai Yan planned to end it.
But everyone still captured important information.
godfather?
Their eyes looked back and forth between Yang Jianlong and Lin Ran.
Yang Jianlong actually asked Lin Ran to be his godfather?
And judging from the tone of his words, he wasn't joking.
Everyone was puzzled.
But even if it is Lin Ran, why should he say that Tang Sancai is fake?
Even researcher Cai Yan said it was true. If it were true, the police would have come to the door today!
After all, the object of the transaction is the official museum!
So everyone really couldn't figure out why Lin Ran said this.
Could it be that Lin Ran, who was rumored to have sharp eyes, was just in vain?
Everyone shook their heads, feeling disappointed.
Half an hour later, Cai Yan came back.
His face was red and he was out of breath: "Wei Chengbin, I brought the money."
He took out a check from his pocket: "This is our check. You can change it at the bank."
It costs more than 3000 yuan, which is too much in this era and is inconvenient to carry around.
Checks can solve this problem.
Cai Yan looked very excited.
Another batch of Tang Sancai!
The museum was very happy to know about it. They praised him for his great contribution and credited him with great merit!
When the time comes, as long as everything goes smoothly, it will be a sure thing that I will be promoted and make a fortune!
The check was handed to Wei Chengbin.
Wei Chengbin had never seen the check before, so he turned over it and couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Facing the huge sum of money, there was no joy at all. Instead, his brows were furrowed and he even showed a trace of hesitation.
Do you really want to sell it to Cai Yan?
Seeing his bumpkin look, Cai Yan sneered mercilessly: "This thing is called a check. You can exchange money directly at the bank window. If you don't believe it, I will go with you to get it now."
"No need, since you are from the Forbidden City Museum, I believe you." Wei Chengbin agreed.
Lin Ran understood the other party's psychological activities.
Wei Chengbin actually didn't want to sell this thing to the Palace Museum. Yesterday's piece was obviously just to make some money for emergencies, and it was also a reminder to the other party.
That’s why I said these words yesterday and just now.
Moreover, his technique was very clever and he never admitted that he was selling genuine three-color figurines from the beginning to the end!
It was all the onlookers and Cai Yan talking to themselves!
Lin Ran couldn't help but admire Wei Chengbin's city.
Cai Yan obviously didn't realize this, but seemed extremely excited.
If you take back the three cultural relics, why don't you walk sideways in the workplace from now on?
"Thank you, old man."
Wei Chengbin replied calmly: "It's fair and voluntary, and it all depends on your own eyesight. Why thank you?"
Unfortunately, no one was willing to consider Wei Chengbin's words carefully, and the onlookers began to congratulate Cai Yan one after another.
"Researcher Cai, we received three precious cultural relics this time. What a bumper harvest!"
"This can be considered a huge contribution to the protection of cultural relics."
"Guardian of Chinese civilization! Well done, Researcher Cai."
"I hope I can see these three Tang Sancai pieces next time I go to the Palace Museum."
"Researcher Cai has given us a lot of insights."
"The price is not expensive. It will definitely cost tens of thousands if auctioned."
"Auction? This is history. Does the Palace Museum still need to sell money?"
The onlookers praised Cai Yan one after another and expressed their envy for Cai Yan.
Cai Yan was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth when he heard the flattery.
Four pieces of Tang Sancai are in storage. Please call me Deputy Curator Cai from now on! ,
