His aunt had suggested this secondment option to him. If it was feasible, there would be more options for him to choose from. Although Li Mo mentioned this matter to Jiang Shuren as a temporary decision, the main reason was because he saw a good quality in him.
And he recognized Jiang Shuren's work attitude very much. He did what he liked, did his job well, and worked conscientiously.
In the future, if Guyunxuan Yuanmingyuan Pavilion is actually planned to be built, maintenance experts in this field will be needed. It would be better to cultivate more talents in this field through him rather than borrowing from other museums.
Overall, Li Mo had a good first impression of Teacher An's lover.
He did not drive home, but went to Gu Yunxuan, City God Temple. The sun is shining brightly outside, but there are still an endless stream of tourists, and I don’t know what they are after.
Li Mo passed by the Gong Tingji braised vegetable restaurant and looked around. All the braised vegetables had been sold out. Three employees inside are busy in the back kitchen, preparing new braised vegetables.
Business is still going great.
The area of Gu Yunxuan store has more than doubled. When Li Mo opened the door, he saw six customers inside selecting porcelain. Look at the clerks who make introductions to customers. They speak very fluently and speak clearly and clearly.
"Hello sir, do you want to buy some porcelain?"
A woman in her early twenties came over and asked with a smile.
Don't know me?
Li Mo smiled secretly and said: "I also heard from my friends that the quality of the porcelain you sell here is very good. Are there any pastel ones? I will pick two for home use."
"Yes, we have high imitation pastel porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty here, including bottles, jars, plates, bowls, etc. Please come here and I will show you."
This person is well trained and can at least tell me a thing or two. Li Mo followed her to a row of ancient bookshelves: "Can I take it down and take a look?"
"Of course. I need to remind you in a friendly way that if you accidentally damage it, you will need to pay compensation."
Li Mo nodded, and he took out a weeping willow and kingfisher pastel plate from Jiajia. The base was made in the Daoguang year of the Qing Dynasty, with standard blue and white regular script. The entire pastel plate is very delicate in both the glaze color on the surface and the thickness of the glaze.
He looked at a few more high-imitation porcelains. Master still paid great attention to quality when selecting high-imitation porcelain, not the kind of shoddy imitations.
"Is there anything you like, sir?"
"Actually, I prefer the real thing." Li Mo put the high imitation porcelain back on the ancient shelf, looked at the pretty young woman and asked with a smile, "Didn't my master come to Gu Yunxuan today?"
"Your master?"
The woman stared at Li Mo's face for a few seconds before whispering: "Are you Li Mo?"
"yes."
"The boss was called to the Four Seasons Teahouse ten minutes ago and asked him to help identify some porcelain."
"The Four Seasons Tea House is not far away. I'll go over and take a look. You guys are busy."
Li Mo took a bottle of mineral water from the counter and walked out. At this moment, another young girl came over and asked curiously: "What did you say to that handsome guy just now? You look like a nymphomaniac?"
"Do you know who he is? He is the legendary Li Mo of the City God's Temple, the boss's apprentice."
"Ah, it's him!"
Li Mo left the shop and walked along a street. After walking for about five minutes, he entered a teahouse. He went directly to the second floor and met a woman wearing a cheongsam.
"Sir, do you have an appointment?"
"I'm looking for Boss Gu Yunxuanliu."
"Boss Liu is in the Xia box, please come this way."
Li Mo followed the waiter to the door of Xia Zi's private room. He knocked on the door and pushed it open. There were six people in the private room. They gathered around a round tea set. Four porcelains were placed on the coffee table. Master Yanagawa Kei was appraising a blue and white porcelain.
His appearance also attracted everyone's attention. One of them, the more familiar Boss Wang, saw Li Mo and shouted happily: "Golden Eye has returned to the City God's Temple."
"Boss Wang, you praise me too much."
Yanagawa Keiya put down the blue and white porcelain and asked, "Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"
"I came back in a hurry yesterday afternoon, so I didn't arrive in the Magic City until midnight today for three days. Master, what kind of porcelain do I need from you?"
Yanagawa Qing smiled, put down the blue and white porcelain in his hand and said, "Now that you are here, how about you come and take a look at this blue and white porcelain?"
"Yes, Golden Eye, come and take a look." Boss Wang pulled Li Mo to the coffee table and asked him to look at the blue and white porcelain first.
Li Mo didn't reach out, just glanced at it and said, "Does this Xuande blue and white porcelain belong to Boss Wang?"
"No, I'm from a fellow countryman." Boss Wang pointed to a man in his fifties. He wore a thick gold necklace around his neck, a gold watch on his right wrist, and was carrying a brand-name bag in his left hand. He had a beer belly. , a posture of nouveau riche.
"How much did it cost?"
The upstart raised two fingers and said: "Sixty thousand, little brother, how about this Xuande blue and white porcelain?"
"No, it's 200 yuan worth of stuff. You can pick whatever you like from JDZ. It's all over the floor."
Li Mo was unhappy. For such a shabby thing, Boss Wang even dragged his master over for appraisal. He really didn't use tofu as dry food.
"Golden Eye, take a closer look."
Boss Wang shamelessly recruited Yanagawa Kei because of his benefits, but his apprentice suddenly appeared and judged him to death before he even got started. This was not a good thing.
"If this Xuande blue and white porcelain is real, it is worth tens of millions. How can I talk nonsense?" Li Mo was speechless. He continued, "Judging from the shape of the vessel, Xuande has a moon bottle, and this blue and white porcelain is not round enough. Xuande There are flat vases, but the blue and white porcelain is not flat enough. In terms of appearance, the shape of the blue and white porcelain is wrong."
"Judging from the color of the blue and white porcelain, the blue and white porcelain in the Xuande period was all made of imported sumac and green. Even now, there will be rust marks. Look at the color of this Xuande blue and white porcelain, is it right?"
"Judging from the blue and white decoration, it is very dull and boring. So I know that this blue and white porcelain is not interesting even if I use it, believe it or not."
If this was a genuine product, Li Mo would explain it carefully. What good could a 200-yuan piece of junk on the streets have to offer? This upstart didn't know who had deceived him, but he actually spent 60,000 yuan to buy it.
This is the real money that makes many people stupid.
"Yes, with my apprentice here, I, the master, can save my worries. Xiao Mo, I have just finished reading one, and you have identified the authenticity before finishing the second one. Then it is up to you to do the remaining two. "
"Boss Liu, if your apprentice said this is a lie, is it true?"
Yanagawa Kei raised his head and said, "That's for sure. If my disciples all identify it wrong, I'm afraid no one in the country can identify it clearly."
The upstart saw Boss Wang winking and stopped talking.
"Golden Eye, this is the first porcelain that your master has identified. He said it is genuine." Boss Wang pointed to a red glaze bottle.
Li Mo picked up the red-glazed vase, looked at it and said: "This is a cowpea red-glazed willow leaf vase. It was created during the Kangxi period. It is a study vessel. There are imitations of this kind of porcelain, which were produced in large quantities during the Republic of China. I imitated it, but the shape of the imitation was basically larger than the one in front of me. Later, in the early 1980s, the imitation of cowpea red from Wandao was the most successful."
"Then is this a Wandao imitation? You can see that the body of the vessel is fired separately, because it is difficult to make it airtight and tight in the later stage after being fired separately. The base model is 'Made in the Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty' , strong and powerful. Looking at the glaze, it feels like glutinous rice juice. These details are consistent with the craftsmanship during the Kangxi period. This is indeed a fine product of the official kiln during the Kangxi period."
The nouveau riche suddenly became happy and asked hurriedly: "How much is this willow vase worth?"
"How much did you pay for it?"
"Three hundred thousand."
Li Mo hummed: "You can make a small profit, the market price can be over one million."
