Small Farmer Medical God-Chapter 1627 - 1622: Is This a Forgery?

As Zhou Dachuan spoke, everyone shifted their gaze to the last item.

It was a colorful porcelain plate, not very large, but it left a deep impression because it was truly dazzlingly brilliant.

...

Carefully picking it up, Zhou Dachuan glanced around at everyone again!

Then, he spoke in a calm, soft voice, "Porcelain is very difficult to preserve, and the more intact it is, the higher its price. I believe all of you are aware of this!"

Everyone nodded gently!

Because they were indeed aware of this fact.

Seeing everyone nodding solemnly, Zhou Dachuan smiled gently and said, "Previously, I saw a very nice plate at an auction, about the same size as this one, and it was eventually sold for over ten million. Honestly, I was quite shocked!"

"This..."

Everyone gasped upon hearing the price Zhou Dachuan mentioned!

The owner of the porcelain plate tried to suppress his anxiety and spoke nervously, "Master Zhou, is my porcelain plate authentic?"

As he asked, his heartbeat accelerated several times over...

Because he was really nervous...

Upon hearing such a trembling inquiry, everyone quickly looked at Zhou Dachuan.

At this moment, everyone wanted to know the answer.

Zhou Dachuan knew they were particularly nervous now, so he didn’t rush to answer but instead turned the porcelain plate over.

Then, Zhou Dachuan continued, "With this type of porcelain, there is usually a mark, but this one doesn’t have it. From this point alone, its authenticity is already doubtful."

With these words, everyone’s heart sank with a thud.

The owner of the plate took a deep breath and quickly said, "Master Zhou, top-notch civilian kilns do indeed generally have marks, but pieces without marks aren’t necessarily all fake, right? After all, there were many fine civilian kilns during that era."

"Exactly!"

Hearing this soft explanation, many people nodded quickly...

They knew that the possibility of exquisite pieces appearing from civilian kilns was much lower than from official kilns, but the chance wasn’t nonexistent.

Having anticipated he would say this, Zhou Dachuan smiled slightly and said, "I understand, many items from civilian kilns are also very good, but if you look carefully at this one, it’s much better than ordinary civilian kiln items. From this point of view, it can’t possibly be genuine."

Hearing such a convincing pronouncement, they took a closer look.

Soon, everyone nodded silently, understanding that its quality was indeed too good, leading to the possibility that it was a forgery.

Seeing everyone in silence, he knew that they believed his words.

"This is real skill, making everyone recognize my prowess with just a few words!"

Whispering to himself in excitement, he turned to look at Hu Xiaobei...

"Hu Xiaobei, it’s your turn to embarrass yourself now!"

Self-talking coldly, he suddenly clapped his hands.

After thoroughly capturing everyone’s attention, he abruptly spoke, "Today is the opening of the Antique Market. Before, I thought Manager Tai had only invited me, but after getting here, I realized he invited another expert as well, and that is Hu Xiaobei! Now, let’s invite Hu Xiaobei to re-evaluate these three items. Maybe Expert Hu will have a different perspective."

As he spoke, everyone turned to look at Hu Xiaobei...

Seeing Hu Xiaobei so young, many people frowned.

Seeing everyone frowning, Zhou Dachuan understood everyone’s thoughts and laughed, speaking again, "I know you think Expert Hu is too young, but sometimes, being young doesn’t mean lacking ability. Am I right?"

Saying this, he looked at Hu Xiaobei and said, "Expert Hu, everyone is waiting for you. Shouldn’t you show your skills?"

...

"So this is the trap!"

Hu Xiaobei listened to Zhou Dachuan’s invitation, looking at him coldly.

From a short distance away, Manager Tai’s heart skipped a beat as he realized things were becoming tricky.

Knowing it was time to step in, Manager Tai gave Zhou Dachuan a cold look, then stepped forward and said in a low, deep voice, "Master Xiaobei, whom I invited, isn’t from this industry. So, evaluations and such are off the table."

Manager Tai knew he had to stop this now, or things could get even more out of hand...

"Not from our industry? Then why did you invite him? For nonsense?"

Hearing Manager Tai’s words, Zhou Dachuan glanced at him, then smirked disdainfully.

"Exactly!"

"What on earth do you mean!"

Many standing with Zhou Dachuan frowned.

Manager Tai frowned slightly and said, "Do I need to explain to you?"

"Manager Tai, you sure are a big shot! You might not need to explain to them, but perhaps you could explain to me!"

Hearing such a sarcastic remark, Manager Tai wanted to say something but saw Hu Xiaobei raise his hand.

"Manager Tai, I can handle this!"

After saying this, Hu Xiaobei calmly walked towards Zhou Dachuan.

"This idiot took the bait!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei walking towards him, Zhou Dachuan sneered repeatedly.

In his opinion, Hu Xiaobei was ready to jump into the trap he had set.

Which means, he could ensure Hu Xiaobei would never climb out.

"This..."

The two people beside Manager Tai were about to say something.

Noticing this, Manager Tai quickly gestured with his hands, "Don’t say anything, Master Xiaobei should know what he’s doing, so he won’t embarrass himself; the one to be embarrassed will be that idiot Zhou Dachuan in the end!"

Upon hearing such confident assurance, they took another look at Hu Xiaobei’s back.

They observed that Hu Xiaobei was truly calm, suggesting he was somewhat confident.

As they relaxed slightly, the eyes of those who had come for Hu Xiaobei lit up completely.

They knew they were about to witness Hu Xiaobei disgrace this trash. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

They were fans of Hu Xiaobei!

Being very familiar with Hu Xiaobei, they knew he couldn’t possibly fail, so his stepping forward indicated he was ready to humiliate this trash.

"Make sure to get it all on video!"

Muttering this, everyone took out their phones, excitedly preparing to capture the moment.

Seeing everyone take out their phones to start filming, a hint of surprise flashed through Zhou Dachuan’s eyes.

Soon, he sneered disdainfully, "It seems all these people have great confidence in Hu Xiaobei, but this time, they will be disappointed because he is going to disgrace himself."

Zhou Dachuan was particularly confident at this moment because this was his area of expertise, and he didn’t think this rookie who knew nothing could defeat him in his most experienced field...
