Chapter 101 - 101 Let Me Do It

101 Let Me Do It

“That’s indeed quite impressive.” Ye Xuan nodded slightly. To be able to pick up such a treasure in an antique shop, it could be seen that Zhao Yuan was indeed wise.

The emcee introduced the members of the observation group. They were all owners of famous antique shops or merchants in China.

Even the experts in the expert section could not help but praise them. “Our observation team today is also very important!”

The camera switched to the emcee’s seat again. The emcee immediately got into character and said enthusiastically, “Before we officially enter the quiz, the audience at the event location can make a simple guess. Take a guess, which guest will be able to make the correct judgment and provide the closest valuation?”

As soon as the emcee finished speaking, the audience immediately began to whisper.

“I don’t think there’s any suspense in this quiz. Although Ye Chan is good-looking, how much does she know about antiques? Hua Dashan is more reliable. He’s an antique enthusiast.”

“Our thoughts are similar. I think so too! After all, he was screened and selected from among the collectors. He definitely won’t be too bad!”

“Ye Chan is very pitiful. If the person with her was a celebrity, her chances of winning would be very high!”

The emcee gave everyone some time to think before asking a man, “Sir, who do you think is better in this competition?”

The man stood up very coolly and said heroically, “I support Ye Chan!”

“Why?”

The man chuckled and said, “What reason can there be? I’m her fan. I also know that Ye Chan has a lot of knowledge about antiques, so she should know something.”

The emcee looked enlightened. “I see! Alright, if your guess is right, you will receive a gift from our production team.”

The man widened his eyes as if he had received a piece of shocking news and looked at the emcee eagerly. He stammered, “No way! Is there a gift?”

The emcee nodded. “Yes, the audience members who made a correct guess will receive our gift.”

“Oh, actually, I support Ye Chan mentally, but I choose… Big Brother Hua!” The man was out of character and surrendered to the enemy without a word.

Ye Chan was speechless. Her mentality had exploded!

These guys were such bullies…

Shocking laughter erupted from the event location.

Even the comments were filled with laughter.

“He’s definitely Ye Chan’s fan who likes to smear her name. The appraisal is complete!”

“This Big Brother is really a talent. He’s even mentally supportive of her. I’m dying of laughter!”

“Are you going to betray Chan Chan with just a small gift? That’s too much. I support Big Brother’s choice!”

The emcee controlled the emotions of the audience in time and said, “Next, I’ll introduce some rules of the quiz. What the two guests need to do is to appraise the authenticity of the antique and give an appraisal in your heart. Of course, the guests can choose to answer themselves or ask for help from outside the venue. In the end, the experts will give an answer.”

The two guests expressed that they understood the rules. Then, the emcee announced the start of the appraisal segment.

A hostess walked up in a bright red cheongsam and took out the things on the tray.

It was actually two porcelain cups.

The porcelain cups were not big. However, the colors on the cups were extremely bright, causing everyone at the event location to gasp.

The emcee raised her hand at the two guests, indicating that they could take a closer look at the two porcelain cups.

Ye Chan and Hua Dashan went forward together. They carefully observed the two porcelain cups in front of them.

The porcelain cup was not big. Ye Chan measured it with her hand and found that it was less than ten centimeters long.

The surface of the cup was rich in colors. The green, red, green, and yellow colors were very pleasing to the eye.

As she got closer, Ye Chan could clearly see that there were two roosters on it. The tail feathers of the rooster in front were beautiful and colorful, and its figure was tall and strong.

Just as Ye Chan and Hua Dashan were observing carefully, an expert, Zhou Feng, said, “Ordinary people can’t analyze this thing. For me, I have to take a good look and analyze it.”

Teacher Zhao Yuan naturally continued, “If Teacher Zhou finds it difficult, I’m afraid the two guests present will be in a difficult position.”

Zhao Yuan and Zhou Feng had collaborated on many shows, and the two of them had been in the antique industry for many years. It could be said that they appreciated each other.

At this moment, the members of the observation group could not wait to get off the stage and personally experience the antiques.

The audience could see the reactions of the members of the observation team through the big screen. Looking at their frowns and hard thoughts, they seemed to be a little uncertain.

The audience below immediately discussed excitedly.

“Did you see that? Even those antique dealers can’t recognize it. This thing has a powerful background!”

“Logically speaking, shouldn’t it be easy to judge something with a powerful background? Why is it so difficult? Their expressions are too stiff.”

“That’s what’s interesting! If they keep showing high-quality products that we can distinguish, what’s the point?!”

The atmosphere at the event location became intense.

The emcee walked to Ye Chan’s side and asked casually, “Ye Chan, did you see anything?”

Ye Chan took the microphone and said indifferently, “I’ve only read some books about this. The books say that whether it’s the appraisal of porcelain vases or porcelain cups, there’s a four-word formula.”

“Oh? Can you tell me in detail?” The emcee looked very interested.

Ye Chan nodded and said, “The four words are to see, listen, compare, and try.”

“To see means to carefully observe the porcelain piece from top to bottom. Firstly, we want to see if the glaze of the porcelain is smooth and soft, if there are any abrasions or bumps, and if there are air holes and flaws.”

“Secondly, we’ll see if the shape is complete or if the shape is deformed. Thirdly, we’ll see if the bottom of the porcelain piece is flat and stable. Of course, if there’s a pattern on the porcelain, we’ll have to see if the pattern is complete.”

“To listen means to listen to the sound made by the porcelain. This can often be used in the appraisal of jade too. If the sound is crisp and pleasant, it means that the porcelain prototype is meticulously made and dense. It also means that there are no cracks inside. However, if the sound is hoarse and stuffy, it means that there are cracks in the prototype.”

“To compare means to compare the other parts of the porcelain piece. For example, like the porcelain cups from today, many porcelain cups are produced in pairs. Thus, the price of a pair is higher.”

“Lastly, to try means to experiment and see whether the parts are suitable.”

The audience seemed as if they wanted to know more when they heard this, and the way they looked at Ye Chan changed.

It turned out that not only did Ye Chan have a good-looking face, but she also had some knowledge!

Everyone immediately looked at her in a different light.

“Ye Chan is good! Best of luck. You’re the best!”

“In the past, when I saw her popular science live-stream, I thought there was a script. It turns out that she’s really talented!”

“Ye Chan is a smart girl. I’ve become a fan. I have to pay more attention to her in the future!”

Even Zhao Yuan, who was sitting at the expert seating area, praised Ye Chan non-stop. “It’s not easy for a young little girl to say this.”

The other experts also spoke.

“Teacher Zhao is right! Even some beginner collectors might not be able to make it sound so logical.”

“It looks like Ye Chan came prepared! This kind of knowledge can’t be understood by just reading some materials.”

“This girl is worth teaching! We, the vast majority of antique enthusiasts, also have to learn more from you. We have to understand and use this key principle!”

The emcee immediately asked excitedly, “Since Ye Chan is so confident, do you want to choose to answer by yourself?”

If she answered by herself, it could better reflect her personal knowledge. Regardless of whether her answer was right or wrong, this could help Ye Chan gain a wave of fans.

However, Ye Chan did not act as the emcee had guessed. Instead, she smiled bitterly and shook her head. She analyzed very seriously, “This collection is really difficult. I really can’t be sure. I still want to ask for help outside the venue and consult the opinions of the wider audience.”

“So who do you want to ask for help?”

Ye Chan thought for a moment and said, “I want to hear my best friend’s opinion before making a decision. She’s also a loyal fan of our show.”

The emcee immediately contacted the director and asked them to help Ye Chan contact Chen Bingyu.

Chen Bingyu was dumbfounded when she saw the live-stream.

Chan Chan…

She hadn’t even informed her in advance!

Then, Chen Bingyu wished she could slap herself. She remembered that she had bragged to Ye Chan previously that she had never fallen behind in any show and had a lot of knowledge. She was prepared to go to a street stall to pick up antiques next.

It seemed that this silly girl had remembered this sentence.

However, in reality.

She was just a casual viewer. Actually, she didn’t know anything!

Chen Bingyu subconsciously wanted to turn on her computer to see if there was any information she could use.

However, it was too late. The production team had already called her.

Chen Bingyu did not know whether to accept it or reject it.

Helpless, she could only pick up the phone.

Chen Bingyu could only brace herself and greet the audience. “Hello, everyone!”

As Ye Xuan was sitting beside Chen Bingyu, he was also filmed and greeted everyone with Chen Bingyu.

The emcee also greeted Chen Bingyu. “Ye Chan wants to contact you from the event location and ask you to provide her with some help.”

Chen Bingyu smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m also watching the live-stream, but I’m really sorry. I don’t know much about this. I really can’t help. I’m sorry, Chan Chan.”

Chen Bingyu did not pretend to understand. That would disturb Ye Chan’s original train of thought.

The reaction of the event location audience was average, and there were no boos.

After all, everyone had seen clearly just now that even those merchants who relied on these antiques to make a living could not come up with a decisive view. It would be strange if the little girl could come up with an opinion!

Just as Chen Bingyu was about to hang up the video call, Ye Xuan suddenly took the cell phone and said to Ye Chan, “Fourth Sister, I know a little about this. I can tell you about it as a reference.”

The audience looked at the face of the eight or nine-year-old child in the video and were in an uproar.
