Chapter 154 Bamboo Carved Incense Holder

Li Yi was responsible for jewelry and jade, Liu Ming was responsible for calligraphy and painting and pure gold jewelry, He Shangkun was responsible for ceramics, and the rest were classified as miscellaneous and was responsible for Mr. Mo.

After reading the general report, several people each had a notebook, followed Wang Dachuan to the warehouse and began the arduous inspection work.

Li Yi first fiddled with the computer and found that the jade was divided into jade, Hetian jade, ancient jade and other four items. Although jewelry was only divided into four items, it was much more complicated than jade.

The number one item of jewelry is gemstones, including diamonds, emeralds, red sapphires and four other small items.

The second largest item is semi-precious stones, including crystal, tourmaline, coral, agate and other five sub-items.

The third item is artificial jewelry, including synthetic gemstones and two other sub-items.

The fourth major item is pearl, which is divided into two sub-items: sea water droplets and fresh water droplets.

Each of these things has a unique number, and this number is very long, including the delivery time, item code, order code, receipt appraiser code and many other information.

The arrangement of jewelry comes according to the receipt month. The jewelry and jade collected in the same month are basically on the same shelf, and correspond to the numbers one by one. It should be easier to find according to the principle.

But the actual situation is not the case, because a large part of the collected things were sold. After adjusting the order of placement, some chaos will inevitably occur, which adds great difficulty to the verification work.

Not to mention after reading the authenticity of the items, we have to evaluate the receipt price and suggested selling price. If there is any problem, we have to mark it on the computer. This workload... They don’t have a soul-tapping card. Can we guarantee that each item can be seen accurately after pressing down so much? But if it cannot be guaranteed, what is the significance of this work?

When Liu Ming saw that Li Yi was almost browsing, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Actually, we will do this work almost every month, and those with problems have been found out long ago. Especially these accumulated over the years, they are said to be viewed. In fact, we only need to see what has not been checked every time. The others are signed directly..."

I'll go! It turns out that there is such a joint inside! I'll just say it's impossible to arrange such a impossible job!

"The old man Wang, who was in charge of jewelry and jade, was very good at jewellery, but he was not in good health recently and had taken a long vacation, so you only need to look at the parts he had not checked. Look, it starts here in November. Not much, right?"

When Li Yi saw that it was really true that although it was too late to sell much, the jewelry and jade were sold out and dead. The total amount of the redemption period was only more than 800 pieces, less than one-eighth he thought before!

Really, I didn't say it earlier, I almost scared the baby...

Li Yi patted his chest, turned his head, and saw that Mr. Mo and He Shangkun were both very excited and brilliant. He couldn't help but roll his eyes. Can he still have fun playing happily? A group of old people don't practice!

Lao Buxiu, Mo Lao looked at Li Yi with a smile,

"Xiao Li, there is another benefit for this kind of verification! If you are lucky and have enough eyesight, you might be sent this time!"

Li Yi's eyes rolled, picking up a bargain?

"Haha, you're quick to react! You don't allow bargains to be picked up within the company, but if you really find any big leaks, after the sale, the company will reward the appraiser with one-fifth of the sale price. If you have good luck, you can buy another x5 at a time!"

Li Yi rolled his eyes. He only said good and not bad, and it was easy to pick up a big gap, but he didn't offend the appraiser who was picked up by him to death? It would be strange if you believe it!

After making a few jokes, several appraisers carried the computer next to the shelves that they needed to verify, and all kinds of tools were used to start the verification.

Although they said it very easily, they were still very careful when doing it. This time it was an internal inspection of the pawnshop company, and the problem was still a conflict among the people. But after that, the Ministry of Supervision will also organize appraisers from the auction house to come and conduct random inspections. If unfortunately, they really found any major mistakes within the scope of their own responsibility, it would not be explained by simply typing the eyes.

Similarly, every time the auction house prepares the goods, the pawn shop will organize forces to repeatedly check.

Under the coordination and control of the head office, overall, the competition atmosphere between the two companies is still benign. But over the years, many appraisers have even become enemies in private, and perhaps this is exactly the result the company wants.

However, Li Yi still doesn't know these situations yet.

Compared to jewelry, the classification of jade is much simpler, so Li Yi chose jade first.

After checking the November report, he began to check one by one in order.

The first one is a ring face full of mung beans. The receipt price is 800 yuan and the suggested retail price is 2,700 yuan. There is no problem. The second one is a piece of Hetian jade jade plaque, which is 300 yuan and the suggested retail price is 800 yuan, and there is no problem...

Half an hour passed, Li Yi paid attention to the progress of Mr. Mo and others, and found that compared with his current speed, they were more than twice as slow. Although there are different categories, the most important thing is that he has a soul-sniffing card to protect him, so he doesn't have to worry about being slap.

As for whether to slow down the speed, he considered it from the beginning. At present, this speed was already the result of his deliberate control. As for the degree to which they were slowed, he never thought about it, because that would be a torment for him, so he planned to simply use this verification to form the impression that he was a fast gunman in their minds, so he would save his life from being sad in the future.

However, according to the current situation, for these ordinary appraisers who do not have powerful tools such as spirit cards, even if they only have more than a month of inventory and have so much in three days, it is still a very hard job.

Time passed slowly, and there was no sound in the warehouse except for the sporadic coughs and the footsteps of several people traveling back and forth between the computer and the shelves, and it seemed as quiet as if no one existed.

Li Yi was holding a jade cicada with a Han Basket and looked at it carefully when he suddenly heard Mr. Mo cough and said:

"You all come here and help me see this one. I always feel that there is something wrong, but after looking at it, I didn't find any problems..."

When he heard that Mr. Mo had discovered the problem, several people put down what they were looking at and came over.

This is a bamboo incense tube of Jiu Laotu of Xiangshan, which is about 20 cm tall. The entire incense tube is black all over. The main technique used is openwork. At first glance, the carving is pretty good. The relevant techniques are smooth and natural. The knife technique contains a simple and vigorous atmosphere, like an old object.

In the blank space below the incense tube, leave the seal as a seal of Lianzi.

Lian Chi was named Xilu by a famous bamboo carving artist during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. He was named Xilu brothers. They were all famous bamboo carving masters of Jiading School, known as "Jiading Bamboo Carving Tripod". Among them, Xilu is the most outstanding. The current work "Bamboo Carving Arhat" is hidden in the Shanghai City Museum.

The appraiser who received the goods believed that this was a imitation of an unknown engraver in the late Qing Dynasty. However, because of the exquisite carving, the leather shell is natural and simple, and there is no trace of old work, it is of high value. The recommended price given is 88,000 yuan, and the delivery cost only 32,000 yuan.

Bamboo incense tubes are one of the small ornaments of desk culture. In the past, some scholars liked to place some incense tubes in their study, so they needed special incense tubes.

This kind of incense tube is generally divided into two categories, one is like this incense tube. The incense tube is non-flammable, has no open fire, does not smoke, but can emit a faint fragrance, so it is especially suitable for placement on the desk of the study. Because it needs to emit fragrance, most of them use the openwork method.

There is also a kind of incense tube that is specially used to burn incense. Because the fragrance needs to rise, this incense tube is generally not hollowed out, and there will be an extra barrel inside, and there will be an eye at the bottom of the gallbladder to be used to stabilize the incense.

Speaking of this, we have to mention some controversies about the definition of the idiom "Shuxiangmen".

There are currently three explanations for the word "scent" in the family of books. The most accepted one is to understand the word "scent of books". According to legend, in order to prevent the worms from biting books, the ancients would place a kind of vanilla herb in the book. This grass has a fragrance. After opening the book with this grass, the fragrance spreads to others, so it is called "scent of books".

The second explanation is that "incense" represents ancestral halls, family temples, and family genealogy, and represents a kind of inheritance, because only families with inheritance can be called "family origin".

But some people do not agree with the above two statements. They believe that the "incense" in the scholarly family should literally refer to the incense placed in this incense tube. Compared with the first two, this explanation is a bit far-fetched, but it cannot be completely denied.

Liu Ming first picked up the incense tube, looked at it for a while and said:

"I mainly focus on calligraphy and painting, so I can only comment on this pattern. The Xiangshan Jiu Lao Picture is one of the most common themes in bamboo carvings. Judging from this thing, the whole picture is very reasonable, with moderate proportions of characters, trees and rocks, harmonious combinations, and exquisite pictures. I think it is a fine product."

After saying that, he handed the incense tube to He Shangkun.

"You often see a lot of porcelain carvings, so please give me some comments."

What are you doing? Porcelain carving and bamboo carving are all different things. Is this Liu Ming even joking about his work!

He Shangkun waved his hand and signaled him to return the incense tube to Mr. Mo. No one could see the miscellaneous things clearly, so why should he show off his skills?

Old Mo nodded and looked at Li Yi with a sophisticated look.

"Xiao Li, what do you think?"

Li Yi took the incense tube from Liu Ming's hand, looked it carefully, and said:

"Bamboo is indeed an old bamboo, but this object was not made by an unknown bamboo engraver. It should be Feng Xilu himself."
