Chapter 138 Bezoar
Chapter 138 Beef Huang
Zhang Can's words were really amazing, and they were stunned by everyone in the room!
However, the stunned expression was different. Wang Qian, Zhu Senlin and Su Xue were the same, but Zheng Dabao had another expression. Wang Qian and the three of them thought they had read it wrong, but Zheng Dabao was just a very surprised expression!
Zheng Dabao stared at Zhang Can and became more and more puzzled. The young man really gave him too many surprises, but he had more questions in his heart. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Xiao Zhang, then tell me, why don't you think other things are valuable, but just that little yellow dog is the most valuable?"
Zhang Can pointed to the things on the wall and smiled and said, "It's not that other things are not valuable, because they are all fake, so they are not valuable. If they are real, then of course they are valuable. Among these pendants, the yellow lump is a real thing, so it is valuable."
When Zhu Senlin and Wang Qian heard Zhang Can say that other things were fake, they were stunned. Then both of them stood up and went to the wall to check and see where the things were fake, because now it looks exactly the same as the real one. How could it be fake?
Zheng Dabao held his hands tightly, stared at Zhang Canzhi, then let go, and asked again: "Xiao Zhang, you are the first person to come to my house to say that the pendants in my living room are fake things. I don't think it is fake, but what I'm strange is that others need to carefully examine and check and check. Why do you just look at them with your eyes and don't even touch them with your hands? How can you be sure that they are fake?"
Zhang Can smiled and said, "This is of course my opinion. Mr. Zheng, your animals are actually just made very real models, such as tiger heads, which are carved from wood, and then the surface is added with plastic fur and color. The teeth in the mouth are also made of plastic. They look very real, but they are actually fake. Besides that ivory, they are also made of plastic. The appearance is combined with special paint, which looks very real, and the others..."
Zheng Dabao was shocked when he saw Zhang Can speak as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and he said nothing wrong!
Wang Qian and Zhu Senlin took down the so-called fake things and looked at them carefully. From the appearance, they really couldn't recognize them, but after they got them in their hands, some of them could still be seen.
Su Xue went over and took the small yellow lump and looked at it carefully. It looked like a yellow-brown pebbles in a river. However, after taking it in her hand, she felt that it was actually lighter and not heavy, and she couldn't recognize what it was.
Zhang Can pointed to the thing in Su Xue's hand and said, "Su Xue, show me that." This time, Zhang Can learned to skate a little, no longer directly telling its origin, but asked Su Xue to take it over and show it to him before talking about it.
In fact, Zhang Can naturally recognized this thing long ago and did not hesitate at all, but he just didn't want to act so eye-catchingly in front of Zheng Dabao.
Su Xue quickly handed the thing in her hand to Zhang Can. Zhang Can spread the thing in her palm, then put it in front of her eyes and looked carefully. While dipping it with her fingers, she took it to her mouth and licked it, and smiled and said, "It's really good, Mr. Zheng, is this a natural top-quality beefy?"
Zheng Dabao really had to admire him. He stayed for a while before he suddenly realized it and quickly said, "Yes, yes, Xiao Zhang, you...you really have this number..."
As he said that, he raised his thumb and praised him. Zheng Dabao was really shocked. There was nothing strange about being able to recognize his beef yellow. Many old Chinese doctors could accurately recognize it. However, it was the first time that a young man like Zhang Can came to him, and then he could recognize the authenticity of everything in the room at a glance. This was not something that ordinary people could do.
These things are not antiques. According to Wang Qian's introduction, Zhang Can is an antique appraiser and a master in appraisal of jade devices, but the things in his house basically do not belong to the antique category. Except for the authentic and fake Hetian jade stones he took out before, they are usually good at one type, and it is impossible to be skilled in everything. But now, Zhang Can seems to be extremely knowledgeable in any category. The things hanging on his walls are already animals, and the production of fake things belongs to wood carving, plastic, paint and other types. The beef yellow belongs to the medicine category. How can Zhang Can know so much?
It’s like that beef yellow. Many old Chinese doctors know and can recognize it, but it’s not that easy for them to recognize other things, not to mention that Zhang Can even clearly states the counterfeiting materials and background details!
"Yes... it's indeed a piece of oxen..." Zheng Dabao admitted it almost convinced himself, and said, "The other ones are indeed fake..."
Wang Qian and Zhu Senlin were not surprised, and couldn't help but smile. Zhang Can's ability was not what he had just seen today. His eyesight was really hard to say. If he couldn't recognize it, it would be extremely difficult to find something that could be difficult to control his.
At this time, Su Xue couldn't help asking: "Zhang Can, you said this oxen is the most valuable, so how much is it?"
Zhang Can smiled and said, "How much is worth it depends on Mr. Zheng's own meaning. Natural beef yeast is a very precious medicinal material. This medicinal material business is like buying vegetables, so there will naturally be bargaining. How much money can be sold, Mr. Zheng naturally has a standard and a bottom line in his mind. However, natural beef yeast, such a piece, is of higher value than such a piece of gold!"
Su Xue was stunned. Such a thing was even higher than the price of gold. She couldn't imagine how much oxen cost, but she still heard it. But she really didn't believe it.
"Is it more expensive than gold? Why do I see it in some Chinese medicine stores? And it seems that the price is not very expensive, right?" Su Xue asked again. In the past, she had never been to traditional Chinese medicine stores. In the pharmacies, she often saw old Chinese medicine doctors picking medicine for patients. When the rows of medicine boxes were pulled out, they contained Chinese medicinal materials. The doctor would use a small weighing plate to weigh it. Of course, the pounds were probably determined by gram. The beef yellow cabinet was cut into fine grains. A small plate was weighed at least a few dollars. A pack of Chinese medicine was only a few dozen dollars at most, and it was only a few dollars, or ten dollars. If you say that beef yellow was more expensive than gold, how could it be?
Zhang Can smiled slightly. This is what Su Xue, an outsider, would ask this question. Wang Qian and Zhu Senlin stopped asking about this matter and smiled and said, "Su Xue, those pharmacies are not natural beef yellows. They are artificial beef yellows. Artificial beef yellows are naturally much lower. It is incomparable. If you want to identify beef yellows, it is actually relatively simple. Take a little powder, mix it with clean water, and apply it on your nails to dye your nails yellow. This identification method is called 'hanging armor'!"
Su Xue buckled her nails and couldn't help but smile: "Hang the nails? Apply nail polish? But it's so ugly when painted yellow!"
Zhang Can also say: "The method of hanging nails is common, but not absolute. To verify beef yellow with certainty and precise determination, you also need to test, take powder, and add other chemical elements. You can check bilirubin, check bile acid, control chromatography, ingredient analysis and research, etc. The natural beef yellow is a complete piece of oval, irregular spherical or triangle, etc. The surface is yellow or brown. After applying it to the nails by using the verification method of hanging nails, it will not fade for a long time, and fake paint will easily decolorize, and the beef yellow smells fragrant and has a cool feeling in the mouth. It will not stick to the teeth when it is held in the mouth. It will slowly melt away."
"As for artificial beef yellow, it is mostly powdery, and some are used to make irregular spherical or square shapes by adding some elements to pretend to be natural beef yellow. After all, some people make fakes because of the huge price difference. Because there are huge numbers of people making fakes, it is quite good to use artificial beef yellow to make fakes. Some are also used plant powder with egg white, egg yolk and beef bile, and gallstones from other animals are also used to pretend to be gallstones. However, gallstones from other animals naturally do not have the effect of beef yellow, and some have the opposite effect, so they are harmful to the human body.
In fact, you need to identify beef yellow, touch and pinch it with your hands, and you can basically tell it. There is an experience called "three points". The so-called three points are, first, beef yellow is "light three points". The texture of beef yellow is loose and lighter than that of ordinary items of the same volume. As long as you often touch the old man holding beef yellow, you can tell it. Second, rub the yellow three points when encountering water. This is what it means to hang armor. Third, you are crushing the three points with your hands. The hardness of beef yellow is only one to two degrees, and it is easy to crush. When you pinch it hard, it cannot be crushed or cracked, it is fake!"
Zhang Can said so in detail and carefully. Even if an outsider like Su Xue could hear it clearly. It was clear that Su Xue could really see Zhang Can's identification ability. Moreover, this was not an antique or jade that my uncle mentioned, but Zhang Can's out-of-town appraisal, but Zhang Can still speak so well. Looking at Zheng Dabao's expression, you know that Zhang Can was right, and you couldn't help but admire Zhang Can secretly.
She used to look down on Zhang Can, thinking that Zhang Can was just lucky, but over the past period of time, she gradually changed her views on Zhang Can, especially the two life-saving graces that made Su Xue completely feel good about Zhang Can. She couldn't figure out why this young man obviously had no physical strength or strong body, but why could he dive so deep in deep water? In the danger of this landslide, he even showed more special alertness?
Zheng Dabao was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed again, and then said to Wang Qian: "Brother Wang, I have always respected and convinced you. This time I saw you bring such a big head and look very serious. I think it's a bit outrageous. Now I really understand that you are still my elder brother, and no matter whether you have eyesight or ability, you are not comparable to me!"
Wang Qian smiled and patted Zheng Dabao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "What can I compare to? But my brother is indeed a capable person, and this is unquestionable."
Zheng Dabao touched his chin and thought for a while, and said cheerfully: "Brother Wang, you have also explained the purpose of this trip to me. The old man's health is important, so we won't waste time. Let me prepare everything I need. Let your people and mine get on the car and leave. Let's go to my ranch tonight for a night. You are tired of eating in the hotel and restaurant. When you come to my side, there is nothing else, just roast beef and roast lamb and drink strong wine. This is our Uyghur hospitality method!"
Speaking of the old man's illness, Wang Qian did not refuse, nodded and followed Zheng Dabao's arrangement.
Zheng Dabao called four or five of his subordinates, all of them were tall and strong men. It could be seen that they were all brute force people. They moved their prepared duffel bags and went out outside the door. Five Hummers were prepared in the past half day. This car was the off-road ace.
