In front of everyone's eyes, Lin Yi smashed the wooden furniture to be identified. In the shock of everyone, a roll of paper tickets shook out from the wooden legs.

At this moment, all the audience, as well as the four experts Zhou, Chen, Zheng and Wang, were also stunned.

Who would have thought that this wooden furniture actually had a secret hidden secret and something hidden?

In amazement, Lin Yi picked up the paper ticket that fell to the ground very handsomely, slapped the dust on it, and a quaint breath came to his nose.

That's right, it's this kind of smell. It was Lin Yi who noticed this strange smell just now that he dared to take action and smash the furniture. Now he finally found the treasure inside.

"Professor Zhou, experts and scholars, what I mean by value is it." Lin Yi raised the paper roll in his hand, and then gently peeled off the few pieces of cotton paper wrapped outside in everyone's attention, then took out a small roll from it and spread it. It turned out to be a piece--In the 32nd year of Guangxu (1906), the Qing Dynasty's Ministry of Revenue Bank exchange coupons changed to Zhangjiakou to Yunnan Shiyuan.

Professor Zhou thought he was dazzled and incredibly snatched the voucher from Lin Yi. He looked at it and took a magnifying glass to see it. His three friends, Old Chen, Old Zheng and Old Wang, also came over to study it with him, and widened his eyes to identify the authenticity of the voucher.

You should know that not many "bank exchange coupons for the Ministry of Revenue in the 32nd year of the Guangxu period (1906)" have been preserved, and there are even rarer people like "Zhangjiakou has changed to Yunnan Shiyuan" denominations. It can be said that they are rare varieties in tickets.

As long as it is a ticket, you know that the ticket line is very deep, and often the price can be hundreds of times wrong, such as the one in front of you who has a round denomination.

The four experts are also experts. You can tell if they have any of them when you take them in your hands. At this moment, after they carefully checked them, from the paper, the color, and the seals above, they are definitely authentic.

"Good thing!" the four of them sighed.

After sighing, the four of them thought that such a precious thing was found by Lin Yi from wooden furniture. It was incredible. How did he know that there was a treasure hidden in it?

Does he have sharp eyes and know how to see through?

The four experts and scholars were still wondering, the treasure holder who had been waiting for a long time could no longer help but ask a very practical question, "How much is this thing worth?"

In his opinion, just such a small piece of paper would probably not be worth much money. If it was replaced by such a large wooden furniture, it would be worth it.

But---

Professor Zhou wanted to not answer, but seemed too stingy, so he sighed and said, "I remember clearly that at the autumn auction of postal coin in China last year, a similar one was auctioned, and it was finally sold for 230,000 yuan--"

The treasure holder was completely stunned and looked at the paper ticket in Professor Zhou's hand in incredible way... No, this thing is so valuable!

The audience also exclaimed, were they surprised by the price of the voucher, but were surprised by Lin Yi's "fire eyes".

Since experts all admit that this thing is valuable, it means that what Lin Yi found is indeed a "baby"!

The audience was still shocked and suddenly heard someone say, "Good! The folk masters are amazing!" Then someone applauded.

Driven by this emotion, the audience members were all excited and applauded.

The monk Gao, who was applauding first, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the situation and said intimately: "Amitabha, I have sinned! It turns out that this childcare is not easy to be a childcare."

In any case, Lin Yi helped them win a game, at least to make these four "civil factions" no longer useless "decorations".

...

After calming down, the four experts only felt that just now it was purely the other party’s luck. Otherwise, Lin Yi could guess where the small voucher was hidden so secretly. Unless hell was a ghost.

Back at the seat, before Lin Yi sat firmly on his butt, the monk Gao poked him around the waist with his fingers, and came over and asked in a low voice: "Little Linzi, how did you know that thing?"

Lin Yi could only smile and say, "I guess, the wooden legs of the furniture have traces of deliberately getting old, and the lightness and weight of several woods faded..."

"Awesome!" Monk Gao gave a thumbs up, "I dare to make such bold assumptions based on these subtleties alone. I, Lao Gao, have convinced you!" Monk Gao was so flattering. "To be honest, I have never obeyed anyone in my life. You are the first and last!"

Seeing that the old man was beating endlessly, Lin Yi had to remind him: "The show has begun, whisper."

Lao Gao coughed and immediately sat upright, and then he returned to the appearance of a hypocritical folk master. In less than three minutes, his butt seemed to have thorns on his butt, and he began to rub it again. He whispered to Lin Yi from time to time, which made Lin Yi speechless. He was a typical child with ADHD at school.

The treasure appraisal activity in the next second half basically continued the atmosphere of the first half, and the four major experts were still the protagonists. The four folk masters once again became foils like green leaves.

until---

"This set of paintings was from the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. The author was Xiao Yuncong, a famous printmaker. He created and published in the second year of Shunzhi. Whether it is composition and knife techniques, they all reached the highest level of printmaking art in the early Qing Dynasty. However, the damage was severe and the quality was too poor, and this kind of damage could not be compensated by repair. Therefore, it has no collection value." Professor Chen Tianxi and Chen said to a treasure holder who was doing calligraphy and painting identification, "When we look at whether a thing has collection value, it not only depends on its age, but also its quality is very important."

The treasure holder was also very upset, "I didn't understand this knowledge before, and I regretted the loss I have caused. Although it was just a Qing Dynasty painting, I still hope it could be worth a little money..."

Professor Chen shook his head and looked at the incomplete picture book and said, "For such damage, it will cost a lot of money to find a famous artist to repair it, which is about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. After the repair is completed, you may not be able to find a suitable buyer immediately. Many buyers who collect ancient books do not buy this kind of restored 'Golden Jade' picture album, so the risk is very high... In general, even if you keep this book, it is meaningless."

The treasure holder was extremely sad and couldn't help asking: "Then... how much can this cost at most?"

"This..." Professor Chen pondered for a moment, "To be honest, if it is a good quality, this fine printmaking from the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty could be worth at least tens of thousands, but now it is so incomplete, at most three thousand."

The treasure holder bit his lip, "Then... are you willing to accept this broken painting?"

Professor Chen didn't expect the other party to ask such an embarrassing question, and he was a little mute for a moment.

Nonsense, why did he collect this ragged thing? It has no value for collection. The reason why he quoted it just now was to comfort him, but this treasure holder was not enlightened.

Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, a voice suddenly said, "If you don't mind, can you let me see this picture book?" The one who spoke was the young man who was in the limelight not long ago and immediately became silent and no longer conspicuous.

Come again?

The four experts looked at Lin Yi and didn't know what the young man was going to do.

The treasure holder seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, and was in a hurry to seek medical treatment. He hurriedly took the "treasure" and moved from the "expert sect" to the "folk sect". Let's see what this young treasure appraiser said.

"Master, please help me--"

Lin Yi took the painting compass kindly and looked around for a few times. Although he had known it for a long time, he still looked at it very carefully--

This is a finely engraved painting of the Qing Dynasty line-mounted white paper "Li Sao Tu". Looking at the title page, it was obviously created by the famous painter Xiao Yuncong and the engraver Tang Yongxian during the Shunzhi period.

According to historical records, in early 1645, the Qing army captured Yangzhou and entered Wuhu in March. The painter Xiao Yuncong was full of pain of the country's destruction and avoided his hometown. It is worth noting that when the Qing army invaded Wuhu, Yun Cong collaborated with the famous Hui style printmaker Tang Fu to publish the most important print work in his life - "Li Sao Tu", which should not be accidental. In his own words, "read "Li Sao" and felt the sadness and anger of the ancients, and he burst into tears without feeling like crying." At this sensitive moment when the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, his heart was the same as Qu Yuan.

This book is open and spacious, with delicate and accurate characters portrayed and vivid. What is particularly rare is that the painter injected a patriotic feeling into the album, making the characters, flowers, plants, ghosts and gods all come to life... Lin Yi remembers clearly that the famous scholar Zheng Zhenduo once called it "a deliberate work", which is actually a masterpiece of prints in the early Qing Dynasty.

"What a pity, such a good book." Lin Yi sighed.

As a fan of thread-bound books, Lin Yi originally liked ancient books of this type of printmaking. He liked the woodcut prints like Zheng Zhenduo. Unfortunately, this picture book is too bad, the corners are incomplete, and the inner pages are insect-eaten, and there is really no collection value in it. As Professor Chen said, unless it is repaired with the method of setting off the "gold-inlaid jade", it is otherwise a pile of rotten paper, not to mention the value of no value, at most it is worth a thousand yuan. It seems that Professor Chen is kind-hearted and has said more about the price.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi turned around and said to the treasure-wielding man with a look of hope: "If you want, this book will cost 10,000 yuan, I will want it!"

With a bang, everyone was stunned and stared at Lin Yi again. No one expected Lin Yi to save the scene, nor did he expect that he would buy this picture book on behalf of Professor Chen, and he still paid 10,000 yuan!

He wants something worth hundreds of dollars, something that no one wants, and gives a price of ten thousand. Are he stupid or crazy?

Facts have proved that Lin Yi is neither stupid nor crazy. As long as anyone who knows his background knows, he is simply "picking up bargains" at the treasure appraisal site. This collection of fine prints from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties will be rejuvenated and become the finest among the finest products as long as he is repaired by his spiritual energy.

It will definitely be no problem to increase the price by ten times at that time!
