"I didn't count, I don't know," Old Bai grinned.
This imitated bronze wine vessel with the Taotie pattern really fooled people into thinking it's genuine?
"Come, let me show you," Ting Quan immediately said, "Take a look at what's on this thing."
Old Bai gave a dry chuckle and examined the bronze ware, "There are some animal patterns on it, on the outer wall of the wine glass mouth, and there are a few inscriptions."
"Do you have water and a toothbrush at home?" Ting Quan asked.
"I'm not at home, I... I'm in the studio," Old Bai answered.
"Studio?"
Ting Quan was taken aback, "How many people are in your gang?"
"What gang, my studio is a legitimate business!" Old Bai argued.
At this moment, the barrage in the live stream was very active.
[A legitimate studio, committing crimes together!]
[This brother is front-line, definitely not acting alone.]
[Legit! The Touch Gold Captain, the Hill-Unloading Strongman!]
[Brothers, I've looked it up, this thing can be traced back to the bronze ware from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties period, called a wine vessel, used by princes and nobles, it's not inherited!]
[The brother upstairs is professional!]
[Cyber Police should start working!]
Old Bai cooperated with Ting Quan, fetched a toothbrush and water, he just wanted to test if this imitation bronze ware could deceive others.
"Brother, scrub the pattern on the body of the vessel," Ting Quan commanded, "Use some strength, it won't get damaged."
Old Bai complied, moistened the toothbrush and gently scrubbed a section of the pattern on the 'Taotie Pattern Wine Vessel.'
Quickly, the dirt was scrubbed off, revealing distinct animal patterns, layers of verdigris, and a small patch of red spots.
"Brother, this is called the Taotie pattern on the bronze ware, this thing is pretty good, open the door, wide open," Ting Quan took a deep breath and said.
"What question?"
"Where are you from?"
Old Bai thought for a moment and replied with a single word: "China."
[Hahaha, he couldn't even stump him with that!]
[Li Yunlong: You're truly a genius!]
[These two unleashed all the English they've learned in their lives, fits so well!]
[I literally can't keep a straight face, dying here!]
[Where are you from? Correct answer! Spot on!]
[It's all showbiz, watch rationally! Hahaha!]
A flurry of comments flew across the screen, exciting the live stream to a small climax.
Hearing Old Bai's reply, Ting Quan also paused, then leaned back and slapped his forehead, "I was asking where this thing came from."
"Uh, from... from... As I said before, it's passed down from my ancestors, it really is!"
Old Bai's heart was also bursting with joy, regardless of whether the item was a convincing fake, he was thoroughly amused by this evening's showmanship.
["The heritage bronze ware with dirt" documentary just for you!]
[Passed down since the Spring and Autumn period, I believe it!]
[Has been handed down for dozens of generations, a family of three thousand years, descendant of a noble house!]
[Brother, you're set for life!]
"Inherited... Let's skip that question for now," Ting Quan said, also struck with laughter by Old Bai.
"So, do I keep scrubbing?" Old Bai asked.
"Scrub, get familiar with the process ahead of time," Ting Quan said, tilting his head slightly with an enigmatic smile.
"Huh?"
Old Bai was flustered, "Teacher Quan, familiar with what process?"
"Once you get there, as soon as you walk in, you're surely going to be brushing toilets and sweeping floors every day, probably even sleeping over the toilet," Ting Quan said, full of mirth.
A twitch formed at the corner of Old Bai's mouth, "Teacher Quan, the toilet over there is made of bronze too?"
At this, Ting Quan couldn't hold back and burst into laughter, falling over in his chair.
The live stream audience was also in stitches.
[Dude, you're truly witty!]
[No, seriously dude, what don't you know?]
[Hahaha, a bronze toilet, bro, you're too bold!]
[Bro, you better run, Six Fans Gate is already tracking your location!]
After waiting for a while, Old Bai grinned and asked, "Teacher Quan, what era is this?"
"Let me take another look."
Ting Quan sat up straight in his chair, leaned forward, and stared intently at the "Taotie Pattern Wine Vessel," "This thing is definitely a door opener, starting from the Spring and Autumn period!"
"It can go back to the Spring and Autumn period?"
Old Bai raised his eyebrows, feeling a hint of pride. A forged bronze ware could mimic the Spring and Autumn period.
In the future, he would be more confident in restoring antiques.
Ting Quan waved his hand seriously and said, "My reference to the Spring and Autumn period is about the prison sentence."
"What!?"
Old Bai was stunned, "So, I can't even get out by pedaling a sewing machine until it smokes, right? Teacher Quan, don't scare me."
Ting Quan said sincerely, "Brother, why would I scare you?"
Old Bai grinned, "Then Teacher Quan, how many steamed buns is this worth?"
[This guy is so bold, starting from the Spring and Autumn period!]
[And he still dares to ask how many steamed buns it's worth?]
[A major documentary, I started pedaling a sewing machine from the Spring and Autumn period!]
[A prison term that lasts three generations; the person is gone, but the sentence remains, haha!]
Ting Quan looked at the "Taotie Pattern Wine Vessel" on the screen, then took out a calculator, pondering and saying, "A few years ago, there was a bronze ware similar to yours auctioned off, roughly around this price."
Immediately.
Ting Quan pressed the numbers on the calculator, the sound coming through, "One five zero zero zero zero zero zero zero."
Seven zeros.
150 million!
"Holy sh*t, that much?" Hearing this number, Old Bai couldn't help but his pupils shrank.
Ting Quan immediately explained, "But that one had a provenance. It was a famous collection, with records and traceable origins. As for yours, it's unclear..."
As he spoke, Ting Quan paused, then shook his head.
[150 million, got it, you'll have to eat 150 million bullets!]
[Just sentence them to be executed by firing squad!]
[Brother, your heritage is also from a famous family!]
[You'd be turned into a beehive!]
[That's harsh! Brother, you've started us off with such a big one tonight!]
"Teacher Quan, I can explain the origins of this item clearly," Old Bai immediately explained.
I forged it, didn't expect that, did you?
Ting Quan waved his hand again: "Brother, I'm telling you, you don't need to explain this to me. I have a suggestion for you, haha."
"What suggestion?" Old Bai asked.
"That is, while most of the Six Fans Gate has already gone off duty, you should quickly find a place and deal with this item," Ting Quan earnestly advised.
Old Bai was taken aback: "Deal with it?"
Ting Quan's voice rose a few decibels as he persuaded, "Brother, some of the Six Fans Gate have already started positioning. Let's put it this way, if you get there before them, you are a chest-wearing big red flower, with a silk banner and five hundred yuan in reward. If they find you first, then you'll be wearing silver bracelets on your hands and stepping on a sewing machine, understand?"
At this moment.
The barrage also echoed in agreement.
[Brother, hurry up and run to the local museum, or police station, and hand this thing over.]
[If the Six Fans Gate knocks on your door overnight, I'll laugh to death!]
[This must be a treasure of the museum!]
[Knock knock knock! Brother, it's the water meter check, please open the door.]
[Now it's really opened up!]
[So terrifying! Brothers, a prison sentence starting from the Spring and Autumn period, tonight has been quite an eye-opener!]
Old Bai smiled, "Teacher Quan, I'll tell you the truth, this is fake."
Ting Quan obviously didn't believe it and waved his hand as he said, "What fake? Brother, don't think I am deceiving or scaring you, I'm trying to help you!"
"Teacher Quan, this really is a fake, if you don't believe it, I can send it over for you to have a look," Old Bai said with a smile.
"Don't you dare! Don't you ever! I can't take this, I'm just an appraiser!" This scared Ting Quan into waving his hands frantically, and his face even showed a hint of panic.
In his mind, he thought, damn, this brother's coming at me!
"Teacher Quan, don't worry, this is a replica, it's not worth much money," Old Bai smiled.
He looked at the "Taotie Pattern Wine Vessel" he had forged himself, feeling a full sense of pride.
At the same time.
Old Bai also silently exclaimed, "Old Lin, your craftsmanship is truly harsh!"
