Chapter 36 Grandpa Lu pretending to be a human
Who is Teacher Bai?

What is the program "Huashan Appraisal"?
Zhang Yang listened to what Grandpa Lu said, and it seemed that Teacher Bai was some kind of villain.

Is there any grudge between the two?

Xiao Shen quickly answered Zhang Yang's doubts.

She dug out the short video of Teacher Bai appraising treasures and handed it to Zhang Yang to appreciate.

Before the video started playing, Zhang Yang had already started laughing.

Because he saw the middle-aged man in the video holding a huge "diamond" in his hand.

Bigger than an egg.

Obviously glass or plastic.

No, why would anyone take this thing to appraise treasures?

It looks like it's still at a very professional appraisal table.

The person next to her who looked like a female assistant said that this thing must weigh 100 carats.

Then the collector swore that this was a natural diamond.

He also took a flashlight and kept shining it on the "diamond", pretending to be very professional.

puff~
Zhang Yang thought to himself, if this was a natural diamond, the one on the British crown would have to be removed, because compared to it, it would be too embarrassing to be seen in public.

Such collectors are obviously here to cause trouble.

Wait, is Mr. Bai going to ask the security guards to take the guy away? And then a fight breaks out?

Zhang Yang watched the video with great anticipation.

Unexpectedly, the teacher was very professional. Not only did he try hard not to laugh, but he also told the collector:

“This thing is glass.

To put it nicely, it’s called Swarovski;
To put it bluntly, it’s the glass on top of the chandelier…”

After watching the video, Zhang Yang looked at Xiao Shen and her grandfather in confusion.

There is nothing wrong with this Teacher Bai!
"Junior sister, did you show me the wrong video?"

"We should watch those who do bad things."

"No, Mr. Bai's more popular videos are of this style."

"There is also a white marble clothes hanger, would you like to see it?"

"White marble? Hahaha."

Zhang Yang was happy just by hearing the name without even looking.

Xiao Shen also laughed.

Grandpa Lu was the only one who didn't laugh.

His face was expressionless, and if someone looked closely, they would notice that the muscles around his eye sockets were twitching slightly.

"Oh, right."

Xiao Shen suddenly remembered that he seemed to have missed something.

She quickly added to Zhang Yang:
"That white marble hanger was taken for appraisal by my grandfather's good friend."

Zhang Yang: "..."

Why didn’t you tell me such crucial information earlier?
Or just don't say anything. It's hurtful to say it now that you're already laughing.

Zhang Yang now understood why Grandpa Lu didn't laugh, because his good friend was the one involved in the joke.

"So, Grandpa, are you going to take revenge on Teacher Bai?"

Grandpa Lu: “No…”

Shen Yiyi: "Of course!"

Before the grandfather had a chance to explain, his granddaughter interrupted him.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other.

Grandpa Lu waved his hands helplessly: "Yiyi, you go first."

Xiao Shen nodded and started to tell Zhang Yang the news:

“That’s actually the case.

Brother, you usually make high-quality imitations, but you may not know that not only some people mistake high-quality imitations for the real things, but there is also a group of people who mistake low-quality imitations for the real things.

You have imitated the Four-Ram Square Tripod, but have you seen the Five-Ram Square Tripod?
Hehe, my grandpa has a friend who has one at home.

These people have a very famous nickname on the Internet, called "National Treasure Gang Uncle".

No matter how bizarre or simple something is, they can imagine it as a national treasure and believe in it without a doubt.

They get angry with anyone who says it’s fake.”

After Xiao Shen finished speaking, he did not forget to cue the person involved:

"Grandpa, am I right?"

Grandpa Lu smiled awkwardly.

All the secrets were exposed by the granddaughter.

Zhang Yang put himself in his shoes and felt that the soles of his shoes were about to be torn apart.

"Master Zhang, I need to explain something.

Although many of my friends are national treasures, I have never told others that what I found is a national treasure. So I am different from them. "

After Grandpa Lu finished speaking, he gave Xiao Shen a look.

Signal her to come out and help talk.

Shen Yiyi understood and stood up to agree:

“This is true, I can vouch for it to my grandfather.

At most, he would just ask my mother to help him send his collection to an auction.

Poor old mother, she believed it and really thought he had found a bargain.

I went to Yanjing specifically to submit it for auction.

In the end, I was scolded by the people at the auction house..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Zhang Yang and Grandpa Lu started coughing violently at the same time.

Both of them couldn't hold it anymore.

Zhang Yang knew that he couldn't let Xiao Shen continue talking.

She was so honest, and every word she said was like a knife piercing her grandfather's heart.

Zhang Yang was afraid that the old man couldn't bear it at his age.

He stepped forward and gave the two of them a way out:
"Sorry, I have a cough. I'll go in and take some medicine."

"Ah? Brother, are you okay?" Xiao Shen asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Just make a cup of tea for grandpa. I'll be back soon."

……

After Zhang Yang returned to the room, he pretended to take a glass of water.

Then he sat on the windowsill and observed the performance of the grandfather and grandson in the yard.

The two didn't seem to be arguing.

Xiao Shen even walked over and massaged her grandfather's shoulders considerately.

Zhang Yang guessed that grandpa should have gotten used to it.

Plus, what Xiao Shen said was true.

There was really nothing to blame her for telling the truth to her senior brother.

As long as there's no quarrel.

Zhang Yang sat down with confidence. He had more important things to do when he returned to the room, besides giving the two people in the yard a way out.

Unlock some knowledge about ancient jade.

Otherwise you won’t be able to understand what Grandpa Lu is talking about.

He searched the ability list for a long time before finding the corresponding [Theoretical Knowledge of Prehistoric Jade].

Prehistory generally refers to the time before the 21st century BC, that is, before the establishment of the Xia Dynasty.

The jade artifacts of this period can be traced back to 1.2 years ago, at the Haicheng Xianren Cave site of the Paleolithic period.

It is extremely old and is completely different from the jade artifacts from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In addition to theoretical knowledge, there is also [Aging of Prehistoric Jade Artifacts].

This one can't be let go either.

Zhang Yang only unlocked LV1 and found the method to make chicken bone white look old that he wanted.

There was just a little recognition left, so Zhang Yang took the opportunity to:
[Prehistoric Jade Theoretical Knowledge] has been upgraded to LV2 (Craftsman Level);
[Prehistoric Jade Antiquing] has been upgraded to LV3 (Expert Level).

Looking at the remaining recognition value of less than 800 points, he walked out of the room contentedly.

In the yard, grandfather and grandson Xiao Shen were having a great time, as if nothing had happened just now.

Seeing Zhang Yang coming over, Grandpa Lu quickly stood up:
"Is Master Zhang's cough better?"

"It's no big deal."

"Even if you are fine, you can't be careless. Two of my old friends died while coughing. It's best to go to a big hospital for a checkup."

"Yeah, thank you, Grandpa."

Zhang Yang nodded quickly.

He was used to the other party's politeness and concern.

Zhang Yang walked to the table and picked up the chicken bone and white jade pig dragon that Grandpa Lu had just handed over to him.

Now I understand.

This thing is not chicken bone white, but lime white.

There are cracks from fire on it, and it is obvious that it was aged using the "barbecue method".

Good traditional method.

Zhang Yang said with a slight smile on his face:

"Grandpa, the method you used to make this thing look old has been used since the Ming Dynasty. It shouldn't be able to fool anyone now."

"But my grandpa was deceived, Brother, do you mean he pretended to be a human?"
