The old farmer took a "kitchen knife" to participate in making treasures. The audience burst into laughter, but the expert asked: Who is your ancestor?

Nowadays, there are endless treasure-hunting programs in China, and the birth of such programs provides an appraisal platform for many folk collectors. In this kind of program, you can often see all kinds of collectors, with their precious collections, coming to experts for identification. But occasionally some wonderful "treasures" appear in the program, most of which are imitations. Because many collectors don't have the ability to distinguish between true and false, they make a lot of jokes. In a treasure hunt program in China, an old farmer came to an expert for identification with a "kitchen knife". The audience burst into laughter after seeing it, but the expert hurriedly asked: Who is your ancestor? What the hell is going on here?

In the program, when the audience saw that the old farmer's collection was an old kitchen knife, they were overjoyed and questioned the old farmer's purpose. According to the old farmer, the kitchen knife in his hand is an antique handed down from his ancestors. After several generations, the value is very high. After listening to the old man's explanation, the audience at the scene was still dubious. They all thought that what the old man was holding was just an ordinary kitchen knife, which had no value at all.

Even after the expert carefully examined it with a kitchen knife, he quickly asked the old farmer: Who is your ancestor? Have you ever been a cook in the palace? The old farmer doesn't know who his ancestors are, and he doesn't know whether he was a cook. He only knows that in his impression, his family has moved many times, but this kitchen knife has been kept at home and is regarded as a treasure by his family.

Later, the experts explained to the audience that the kitchen knife collected by the old farmer came from the royal chef in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty and was a special kitchen knife for the royal chef. This kitchen knife, made by a special process, has a sharp blade and is engraved with the word "Imperial Chef". Although the kitchen knife in the old farmer's hand looks a bit shabby, it is very collectible because it is well preserved.

According to experts' estimation, this knife collected by the old farmer in the market is worth about 200,000 yuan. After listening to the expert's explanation, the old farmer smiled and thanked the expert. Before, he always thought that this kitchen knife was just an old object handed down from his ancestors, but he didn't expect it to be so precious. The expert's explanation not only helped him evaluate the value of this antique kitchen knife, but also helped him answer the doubts that have plagued him for many years. The old man expressed satisfaction.

Hearing the expert's appraisal, the audience who laughed at the old farmer bowed their heads in shame. As the saying goes, all that glitters is not a book, so is an antique literary play. Those seemingly worthless things are probably priceless. Finally, I still want to remind everyone that antique collection is risky and investment needs to be cautious!
