    Four fingers curled his lips and said: "Actually, I wouldn't have started a fight, but Xiaoqian's character does have problems. People came to his door, but he still refused to admit it. In the end, he even cursed the old man's son. As a result,  There is actually a surveillance camera installed in his home, so how could he not be recognized?"

    Meng Zitao asked: "Then where are they now?"

    Four Fingers said: "The police came and took them all away."

    Meng Zitao nodded, smiled and said to Four Fingers: "I have something to do in the store, let's sit together when we have time."

    "Four fingers said with a smile: "Okay, you go to work first."

    After saying goodbye to Four Fingers, Meng Zitao greeted a few acquaintances and chatted a few words along the way. The short journey took more than ten minutes.

    When he walked into his store, he found that in addition to Lao Yang and others, there was also a middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking honest and honest sitting at the table.

    Seeing Meng Zitao come in, everyone stood up and greeted each other.

    Lao Yang introduced Meng Zitao: "This is my friend Xiao Likai. The reason why I bother you to come here is that he has something to ask you for help."

    Meng Zitao said: "What's the matter?"

    At this time, a customer came in. Meng Zitao saw that Lao Yang didn't look like it was a trivial matter and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

    Meng Zitao led the two of them into the reception room inside, and Hu Yuanliang came in and poured tea for everyone.

    Lao Yang said: "Actually, this is what happened. This friend of mine is from the Porcelain City. He specializes in making high imitations of Ming and Qing porcelain. His level is very good. Recently something happened at home and he needed money, so he wanted to get rid of some worldly goods saved at home.  Part of it, but because there are so many things, it¡¯s a bit troublesome to deal with, so I¡¯d like to ask you for help.¡±

    Meng Zitao was a little curious when he heard this, because if Lao Yang could say that Xiao Likai's level was very good, that meant it was really good. This aroused his interest and asked: "Can I see the sample first?"

    ¡°This time I only brought a bird food can, and the rest are photos. You can take a look first to see if you are satisfied with it.¡±

    After Xiao Likai finished speaking, he opened the small box in his hand, took out a piece of porcelain, and placed it in front of Meng Zitao.

    Meng Zitao saw that this bird food jar has a straight cylindrical shape, which is the same as a cricket jar and larger than the common bird food jars. If in ancient times, this kind of bird food jar should have been used to cage large birds such as cranes and sea greens.

    The lip of this vessel is exquisite and skillfully made, the handle can be played, and the outer wall is painted with clouds and cranes, which is full of fairyland.  The writing style is smooth and carefree, with a very freehand style.  Although the utensils are small, they are meticulously crafted and endowed with auspicious meanings through patterns.

    The glaze is crystal clear, the blue and white hair is calm, and it still has the legacy of the Jiajing period. If he hadn't known earlier that it was an imitation, Meng Zitao's first impression of this bird food jar would have been that it was an official kiln artifact from Wanli.

    Meng Zitao took the bird food can in his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, raised his head and said with a smile: "If there were not some discrepancies in the patina and other aspects, it would be completely possible to fake the real thing. It seems that Master Xiao, you should have spent a lot of time in this aspect."  A little work, right?"

    Xiao Likai said truthfully: "It is true. For example, the official kiln inscriptions in Wanli mostly use the six-character regular script of 'Wanli Year System of the Ming Dynasty', as well as seal script, mostly written in green materials. The blue and white official kiln models in the early Wanli period are rich in color; in the middle period, except for some  Except for the heavy ones, most of them have light or gray tones.¡±

    "The layout of the mark inherits the legacy of the Jiajing official kiln, with loose spacing between characters; some are set off by covering lotus on the top, and supported by broken lotus on the bottom, like a signboard; some are expressed in flower shapes. The fonts are dignified.  The middle part embodies thinness and strength, but when writing the inscription, the horizontal strokes are often light and the vertical strokes are heavy, which makes it look rigid and rigid. The position of the inscription changes a lot, some are written at the feet, some are written at the mouth, and some are written on the shoulders.  Some are written on the bottom of the device."

    "So it is no exaggeration to say that I spent nearly two years researching the recognition alone, and made hundreds of test products, and finally got the similarity."

    "Lao Yang smiled and said: "I think back then, I encountered your mature product at a small shop, and ended up getting a slap in the eye. It was all your fault."

    Xiao Likai looked a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, it's not just you, there are many people in the society who have opinions about our industry. In fact, our industry has its own rules and regulations, and we will never sell our products to customers as genuine. As for  We can't ask what customers use our products for. Things I make are clearly marked with prices, and most people who buy porcelain from me basically know."

    Meng Zitao smiled and said"Brother Xiao, I understand. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to bring the things to me."

    Xiao Likai laughed innocently, and that was indeed the case. If he really wanted to sell the things without considering the consequences, he wouldn't have to come all the way from the porcelain capital.

    After that, Xiao Likai took out some more photos, showing the high imitation porcelain he made and their prices. For example, a "Qing Shunzhi Blue and White Figure Flower Pot" was priced at 50,000, and "Ming Wanli Colorful Figures Eight Treasures Fancy Folding Edge Basin"  "The price is 75,000, and the "Ming and Zhengde blue and white eight-treasure jar" is priced at 27,000. There are more than 20 photos of various types of porcelain.

    Xiao Likai continued: "In my place, the prices of these things are transparent. People from our country come to buy them, and foreigners from Xiangjiang, Baodao and others also come to buy them. However, I have concerns in this regard and basically only sell them to  As for domestic buyers, I can¡¯t control what they do with the things I make.¡±

    Speaking of this, Xiao Likai said with emotion: "Actually, I also know that after these high imitations enter the market, a considerable number of them are indeed regarded as genuine products and appear on the market. To be honest, I don't feel very good, but I just love this industry.  , and this is the only craft that can be used to make a living. If it is not sold, there will be no food. And because of these high imitations, I have suffered losses several times."

    "What's going on?" Meng Zitao asked curiously.

    Xiao Likai said: "About ten years ago, I was quite good at that time. Based on some information, I made a 'Qing Kangxi five-color gold landscape figure folding plate'. After it was completed, a friend of mine saw it  , they begged for nothing and bought the items, and even found a buyer as if they were genuine. Later, they were caught on the spot by the police while they were trading, and they were accused of illegally trading stolen cultural relics."

    "As a result, my friend was arrested during the interrogation, saying it was a high-quality imitation, and even confessed me. The police didn't believe my friend's words at all. They came to my house in the middle of the night and asked me as soon as I opened my mouth if I knew I had committed a crime.  I was a little confused about what was going on, and I didn¡¯t know what was going on until I was taken to the police station.¡±

    ¡°At that time, I told them that the things were indeed made by me, and pointed out the differences between the high imitations I made and the genuine ones. Just like that, I was still detained for a few days. Finally, my friends helped me to get out.¡±

    Meng Zitao said: "You are really unlucky."

    Xiao Likai said helplessly: "There is nothing I can do about it. Who asked me to eat this bowl of rice? Anyway, I have encountered enough such things in the past ten years. Some people bought my things, so  Make up a lot of deceptive stories with the buyer, like it¡¯s an heirloom, something dug out of the ground, a gift from a friend, that sort of thing.¡±

    "There are also some people who put customs paint on the underside of the artifacts, and then make up a tortuous story about their overseas return. There are even people who find a place to bury the things, and then pretend to be locals and take antique dealers or collectors to dig them up in the middle of the night. Things like these  , as long as they are arrested, they always find their way to my head, which almost annoys me to death."

    "This time, something happened to my son-in-law. He sold a high-quality imitation I made to a foreigner. He was so lucky that the specimen of the imitation I made was stolen. After that, he regarded the high-quality imitation as the real thing.  , I have said it countless times, but neither the police nor experts believe that I did it."

    Meng Zitao was a little curious about this: "What's going on?"

    Xiao Likai said awkwardly: "This is also my fault. I spent a lot of effort and strive to make that thing perfect. In order to make it realistic, I also asked a friend to find an ancient tomb and put it there for several years.  , and some medicines were used, even the instruments can¡¯t identify it.¡±

    When Lao Yang heard this, he interrupted and said, "I think you deserve it. You knew you could pass it off as real, but you still asked your son-in-law to sell it."

    Xiao Likai argued rationally: "I told you before, I didn't let my son-in-law sell it."

    Lao Yang said: "How could that thing be sold?"

    Xiao Likai hesitated and said: "At that time, I just asked him to take it back to his father for appreciation, but I didn't expect that he secretly found a buyer."

    Lao Yang shook his head: "It seems that your son-in-law is not good at it."

    Xiao Likai snorted, with a hint of sullenness on his face: "I am getting married, what can I do."

    "It seems like your son-in-law is quite capable," Lao Yang said with a smile.

    Xiao Likai said angrily: "So what if he's awesome? If I hadn't been caught, if my grandson hadn't been born and my daughter hadn't been crying and begging me all day long, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him!"

    Meng Zitao asked with a smile: "Then what are you going to do?"

    Xiao Likai let out a long sigh: "I have no other choice but to dispose of all the things I made before. The two families will pool together a sum of money and fish out the people first."

    Meng Zitao said: "You clearly made the thing, so why bother to use this method to solve it? Just ask a few experts to issue an appraisal report. It is impossible for every detail of the high imitation to be the same as the original, right?"

    Xiao Likai had a bitter expression: "There is no other way. The authoritative departments have already issued appraisal reports. It is too difficult to overturn the conclusion. Ordinary people like us should choose to spend money to eliminate disasters."

    Meng Zitao didn¡¯t say much about this matter. He and Xiao Likai had just met and were not familiar with each other, and he didn¡¯t know yet whether the matter was exactly what Xiao Likai said.  In addition, he has other plans (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)p; Meng Zitao said: "You obviously made the thing, so why bother to use this method to solve it?
