It is said that the Siyang Fangzun is a bronze ritual vessel and sacrificial item from the late Shang Dynasty. However, this thing is a national treasure and has always been in the National Museum. How could the Siyang Fangzun appear here?
"Mr. Huang, right? As far as I know, this Four-Yang Fangzun is a treasure handed down from generation to generation, and it should be in a museum, but... what I said is wrong is that your counterfeiting skills are really good."
Hu Fan could tell at a glance that this thing was fake, because he had seen the real Siyang Fangzun.
"Oh? You said this thing of mine is fake, please tell me."
Mr. Huang looked at Hu Fan with more and more interest.
"Each side of the Siyang Fang Zun is 52.4 centimeters long, 58.3 centimeters high, and weighs 34.5 kilograms. Moreover, it is cast using the block molding method, which is done in one go. No one in the world knows this casting method. This is the only one."
"The second thing is that your Four-Sheep Square Zun has a difference on the sheep's head on the right side. I don't think even a professional treasure appraiser can tell it using tools."
Because Hu Fan had seen the real Four-Sheep Fangzun and experienced it up close. He could see that the sheep's head on the right was slightly lower than the other three sheep's heads. It was difficult for ordinary people to spot it, even for masters. It may not be noticeable.
"Go on."
At this time, Mr. Huang stood up from his seat and stared at Hu Fan closely.
"The sheep's head on the right is slightly lower than the other three sheep's heads."
Hu Fan said calmly.
"Have you seen Siyang Fangzun?"
He did not answer Hu Fan's words, but asked him a question directly.
"Mr. Huang, you are recruiting a treasure appraiser here. Do I pass the test?"
There is no way you can trick me. If I tell you that I have seen it, then I will be in trouble. Not everyone can see such a treasure passed down from generation to generation, and grandpa said that the one in the museum It is also an imitation. The real Siyang Fangzun has long been secretly collected by the state.
"Is this guy a tomb robber, or is he a forger?"
Hu Fan said silently in his heart.
"You passed, little friend, but not many people can see my Four-Yang Fangzun."
I didn't ask any more, knowing that I wouldn't know the answer if I asked anymore, because this thing was too precious.
"Haha... Are you thinking, little friend, how dare I fake such a treasure passed down from generation to generation, and no one has come to catch me yet?"
Huang Lao saw Hu Fan's expression and knew what he was thinking.
"I do have some doubts."
I don't deny that if this thing is known to the outside world, it will be jailed.
"The old man's name is Huang Wendao. What you see is only one of my identities. I also have another identity, which is the national cultural relics restorer. This Four-Sheep Square Zun was cast by me and several others, and we have already reported it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be sitting here so peacefully.”
Huang Wendao explained to Hu Fan his doubts.
"So that's the case, Mr. Huang, don't blame me."
Hu Fan leaned slightly towards Huang Wendao.
"It doesn't matter, I really didn't expect you to have such vision and insight. Now you are my treasure appraiser in Taiyi Pavilion."
This little guy seems to have a lot of secrets.
"That Mr. Huang... I am still a student. I will start school in a few months. Now I have no place to live. You see..."
Hu Fan looked at Huang Wendao embarrassedly.
"Well...it turns out you are still a student. Let's do this. I have a lot of rooms here. I will ask the people below to arrange a place for you to live. Also, as a treasure appraiser here, you don't have to go to appraise treasures every day. Unless there are some special circumstances, you can go there, and you can make your own arrangements at other times."
There are not so many rules for being a treasure appraiser in Taiyi Pavilion. They will only show up unless something very special appears.
Mr. Huang himself also had two apprentices, but his apprentices were now very well-known, so Huang Wendao didn't want to trouble his apprentices, so he had to recruit a treasure appraiser.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Huang."
Hu Fan thanked him profusely.
"By the way, tell me your bank card number, and give me your mobile phone number, and I'll ask the people below to arrange it for you. Being a treasure appraiser here is not only easy, but the salary is not low."
Huang Wendao would never have thought that Hu Fan had nothing.
"Lao Huang, I don't have a mobile phone, let alone a bank card."
I really didn’t have any, and I didn’t need them when I was in the mountains with my grandfather.
"Ah... young people today still don't have mobile phones. I forgot to ask you where you are from. I think you are not a local."
Huang Wendao was indeed confused by Hu Fan's words. In this Internet age, there are still young people who do not have mobile phones.
"I come from Changbai Mountain in Jilin, Northeast China, and grew up with my grandfather."
After listening to his words, Huang Wendao understood.
"Do you have your ID card? Give me your ID card. You don't have to worry about other things. Xiao Li, come here."
After Hu Fan handed his ID card to Huang Wendao, he told Xiao Li to go down and make arrangements, and the two of them started talking.
It didn't take long, only about an hour or so, and Xiao Li came back with a brand new mobile phone and a bank card in his hand. He handed it to Huang Wendao and then withdrew.
"Xiao Fan, here are your mobile phone and bank card. Keep them yourself. I have entered my mobile phone number in it. If you need anything, call me. It's really nice to chat with you. Haha... I haven't met someone like this in a long time. A knowledgeable young man.”
After more than an hour of chatting, the two of them had become very familiar with each other.
"Compared with Mr. Huang, Xiao is still far behind."
This is not modesty, this is the truth. Mr. Huang's knowledge is really extraordinary.
"That's it for today. I'll leave first. I don't live here. I'll visit my house when I have time."
Taiyige is just one of Huang Wendao's properties, and he doesn't live here either.
"I'll definitely come to your door to bother you when the time comes."
After Huang Wendao left, Xiao Li took Hu Fan to his room. There was everything in the room and he didn't need to buy anything anymore.
"Thank you, Brother Li."
It's really a bit embarrassing for people to be so busy for themselves.
"I don't dare. You are now the treasure appraiser of Taiyi Pavilion. Your status is different from our employees. I can't afford it."
Who would have thought that this young man who looked about the same age as himself would be a treasure appraiser? How could he dare to compete with others?
"Oh, I'm about the same age as you. How can we have so many rules? It's just settled like this."
After several arguments, he really couldn't defeat Hu Fan, so he had no choice but to listen to him.
After everything was arranged, Hu Fan lay on the bed, tinkering with his mobile phone, and quickly got started. Now he only had Huang Wendao's phone number on his mobile phone...
