Chapter 1721: I want all the root carvings!
Only an outsider like Lin Ran, with real talent and knowledge, could tell him the truth.
Just like this ring, only by scraping off the outer shell can the true appearance inside be revealed.
Holding the Tian Huang stone ring, Ke Hui showed a smile on his face.
"Jiang Li still has me in his heart." He murmured to himself, with a hint of happiness in his smile.
"It's over, why are men so narcissistic?" Ke Yu stuck out his tongue.
Lin Ran saw that he was intoxicated in his own world, so he did not disturb him, but sat aside.
Jiang Li would give this thing to Ke Hui, and the meaning was indeed somewhat ambiguous.
But why not just tell the truth and let her guess?
Maybe this is the character of Jianghua's descendants.
Lin Ran remembered that it had been a while since he had visited Jiang Hua, and planned to visit him after the matter was over.
After a while, Ke Hui finally came to his senses.
He said excitedly: "Lin Ran, you are really a treasure appraiser. I can no longer call you Master Lin. I should call you Master Lin."
"Excellent." Lin Ran was not interested in private titles at all. His strength came from himself, not from others.
After becoming famous among the people, he had much less fun.
At least in the past, he didn't have to worry about being recognized by others. Unlike now, when he walks to a stall and stands for a while, he will be recognized by the stall owner, which makes it impossible for him to pick up a small bargain.
Although he doesn't need to make money from this, picking up leaks is an attitude towards life.
"By the way, what do you mean by hypocrisy just now?" Ke Hui felt that he could learn a lot from Lin Ran and would not miss any opportunity to ask for help.
"Haha, I believe you should also know how to make something old. In fact, the meaning of forgery is the same, which is to make a genuine product into a fake." Lin Ran explained.
His thoughts went back to the war-torn times, especially during the Republic of China.
At that time, warlords were fighting, and rich people had some treasures in their families, but if their families had no background, they would only be treated as fat sheep by others and let others slaughter them.
Many wealthy people are asked to hand over their belongings under various names, especially valuable items.
In times of war, personal property is not protected in any way.
There are only two ways to protect your property. One is to be strong enough. For example, the major warlords have countless antique golds in their hands. They were all stolen from other people. No one dares to take away their property. Lord.
The other way is to disguise yourself.
Rich people will directly donate part of their family's property and live in poverty, so as to avoid being targeted by robbers.
At that time, some people only dared to eat chicken late at night, while in front of others, they slept under broken quilts and ate pig food.
The same goes for the antiques in their hands. In order to preserve the treasures, they will find someone to forge them.
Just like the Tianhuang stone ring, a shell was deliberately made of fake stone on the outside, and it was made into a finger guard that was obviously considered a fake.
From an insider's perspective, you can tell at a glance that it is a fake, and if you think it is worthless, you will lose interest.
In fact, just like an onion, you have to peel off the outer skin to see the heart.
Now that we have entered a peaceful era, there are countless counterfeit products that most people throw away as trash.
"There is such a thing!" Ke Hui showed an expression of sudden realization. He had gained a lot of experience.
Ke Yu was also thoughtful, staring at Lin Ran, thinking: "Why do you feel that the way he speaks and does things is exactly the same as Sister Jiang Li? Is this the style of a top treasure appraiser?"
Finally, Ke Hui smiled with relief.
"Hahaha, that's it. I'll have a nice chat with Miss Jiang later."
"Well, don't let down other people's good intentions. As for how you found the truth, don't say it was me who told you. Just say you saw the problem yourself and found someone to polish it." Lin Ran followed suit and made a plan. Favor.
I saw that Ke Hui carefully put the ring into his jacket pocket this time, appearing to cherish it very much.
I don’t know if it was a mistake or intentional, but Ke Hui finally found the topic this time.
The appraisal matter was over. Ke Hui was in a very good mood. He smiled and said, "Okay, Lin Ran, now we should talk about the root carving at the door."
"You tell me the number, I will never bargain."
Lin Ran immediately laughed: "Master Ke, don't think of me as Miss Jiang Li."
"Eh? I'm not interested in men, but my sister..."
"Brother, shut up!" Ke Yu replied coldly, "You are the only one who likes these wooden things."
She didn't know whether he was making a pun or really referring to the root carving outside, so Lin Ran could only smile awkwardly.
"I do things according to market rules. Let's appreciate the details first and then make an estimate." Lin Ran suggested.
"Okay, that's cool." Ke Hui felt even more fond of Lin Ran. Not only was this man capable, but he also didn't like to pretend to be confused like other masters, deliberately saying worthless things were worth something. Make yourself happy.
Lin Ran originally regarded these things as compensation, thinking that it would be a little less if he could lose less.
Fortunately, he remembered Master Ke, and when he was in Yunhai City, Master Ke also showed his love for root carvings.
He originally had the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect that when he saw the root carving, he couldn't even take his eyes off it.
It can be seen that he loves root carvings from the bottom of his heart.
Everyone has different preferences, Lin Ran respects his choice, and can also help him solve the problem of this batch of goods.
Flattery is not his specialty or behavior, but people can be flexible.
When he returned to the courtyard again, Ke Hui's eyes became bright again.
It can be seen from the expression on his face that he really likes root carvings.
As an antique practitioner, he has become tired of looking at gold, silver, and porcelain. Instead, he favors the inconspicuous wood carvings.
I spent 10 yuan to buy a Tianhuang stone finger guard from Jiang Li. This batch of root carvings is much higher in quantity and quality.
And it is more suitable to be placed at home.
"Lin Ran, where did you get these things?" Obviously, Ke Hui was not satisfied with purchasing this batch of root carvings. He wanted to find the supplier behind the scenes and purchase them on a large scale!
Seeing how much he liked it, Lin Ran smiled helplessly: "Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
He told Ke Hui about doing business with Boss Meng.
