Real Fake Pottery
After the authenticity of the “Court Lady Picture” was appraised, Mr. Zhang left with his painting in a depressed mood.
The host continued reading according to the script, “Next is a submission from Mr. Zhou of Hubei Province. A pottery from the Tang dynasty.”
The staff brought a small pottery from below the stage and placed it on the table in the middle of the stage.
The host said, “Next, let’s invite the experts and the guests to come up to the stage to verify the authenticity of this ceramic pot.”
‘The experts went up to the stage and the other three guests also went up to the stage.
This time, Qin Yuan learned her lesson and followed behind Jiang Yu and Li Yue to the stage.
Ten minutes had passed and after the appraisal was done, everyone returned to their seats.
The host said, “Let’s adjust the order this time. Let the guests present their opinions first.”
Qin Yuan had learned her lesson from the previous time and did not dare to say another word. She planned to wait for Jiang Yu or Li Yue to express their opinions first before she gave her opinion.
However, Li Yue had said from the beginning that she did not have much research in this area, so she did not say her opinion on the pot. She only said, “My opinion is not as accurate as that of the experts, so I won’t embarrass myself in front of the experts.”
Qin Yuan imitated Li Yue and copied her words.
She said, “I have the same opinion as the movie queen. Because I don’t have much research and understanding in this aspect, I won’t embarrass myself in front of the experts.”
“Okay.” The host seemed a little disappointed and said, “Then, does Jiang Yu have the same idea as the movie queen?”
Jiang Yu thought for a moment and said, “The outer shell of this pottery pot looks relatively good. I also studied the weight of this pottery pot just now. It’s lighter than the average pottery on the market.”
“This is because the pottery pot has been immersed in water for a long time. When it becomes wet and dried again and again, the earth loosens and the weight becomes lighter. Moreover, I knocked it with my hand just now. The sound is heavier than the pottery in the market, so I think this pottery pot is
real.”
‘When Jiang Yu said this, the audience was completely silent. Even the three experts in the guest seats cast surprised and approving gazes at Jiang Yu. They didn’t expect this young lady who looked like she was only in her twenties to be able to tell the truth of this pottery jar.
“Jiang Yu…” The host didn’t expect Jiang Yu to be able to say so much.
Didn’t she just say that she was like the movie queen and didn’t have any research in this area?
How could she be able to tell the truth of this pottery jar so clearly with just the second treasure?
The audience was also bewildered. They heard Jiang Yu say that she did not understand these things just then, but now she was able to say so much. It seemed that she was really hiding something.
However, there were also people who questioned Jiang Yu, they whispered, “Is this Jiang Yu putting on an act? She just said that she did not understand these things, and now she’s saying so much. Does she really understand or is she just spouting nonsense?”
“I think she’s talking nonsense? How old is she? Can she tell the authenticity of these antiques at a glance?”
“That’s right. If she can tell the authenticity so easily, how will the three experts on the stage have face?”
However, even though they had great doubts about Jiang Yu’s words, the following conversation between the host and the experts shocked them greatly.
The host calmed himself down and said, “Experts, what do you think of this ceramic pot?”
