Chapter 10, Bird Feeder

The host is already wealthy, but for them, making money seems so effortless. Many people reflect on their own situation, toiling hard for a month to earn just a few thousand yuan, which is less than what they earn from a single breakfast tea.

Birdcage, it seems that my family also has one, but I don't know if it is valuable, can someone help me take a look

The audience in the live broadcast room and Hua Zai discovered that the canary showed no intention of flying away, and it even imitated several bird calls for everyone. Truly, as a canary, its singing is very pleasant.

Then, we examine the materials

It must be said that such a live streaming room is quite interesting, allowing everyone to gain insights and experience the thrill of making money while also learning something in the process

The audience in the live broadcast room is eager and restless, with many reluctant to leave the room, all waiting for the host to create a group so they can join.

Upon hearing the words "made a profit," the audience in the live broadcast room once again erupted in waves of envy

The audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter as soon as they heard it

The audience in the live broadcast room shares the same reactions and thoughts

He continued, "Additionally, the price of the birdcage is also determined by accessories such as the food container, water container, food stick, perching bar, cage claws, and cage hooks. Sometimes, the price of a small claw hook can exceed that of a mid-range birdcage with illustrations and text.

Huyang looked at the comments in the live broadcast room for a while, thought for a moment, and said: "Later, I will create a large group. Friends who are interested can join. At that time, you can send photos of the items you want to authenticate, and I will help take a look. It is only looking at the photos, so it may not be accurate, but it can still reveal some degree of authenticity."

... ...

Impressive! The charm of the anchor is such that even the little birds cannot resist it

"Friends who want to join the call, please wait a moment. I will pose a question to test everyone, and there will be a prize for the correct answer! It's an island, let's see who can get it," Hu Yang said.

For example, a birdcage from the Qing Dynasty made of very ordinary materials is valued at over 5,000 yuan

Isn't it just a food can

It comes in many textures, including porcelain, jade, agate, enamel, ivory, and rhinoceros horn, all of which are considered precious materials. Among the various types of brush washers, the most common is the porcelain brush washer

Suddenly, Hu Yang saw a correct answer, but it was quickly dismissed. If one does not pay close attention, it is likely to go unnoticed

Brother, it is just as you think

Huyang pointed at two porcelain jars and inquired, "Who knows the name of this object?"

Alright, alright! I see that someone has answered correctly. The two porcelain jars you see originally came from the study, which we refer to as the writing room, and they are called brush washers. As the name suggests, they are used for washing brushes

Let me talk about birdcages! I just saw a friend mention that they also have a birdcage at home and are unsure of its value. Now, I will tell everyone the criteria for evaluating the value of a birdcage and how to determine the quality of a birdcage said Hu Yang

Just like these two small porcelain jars in my hands, they are the most valuable items in this birdcage. Earlier, I intended to mention this, but the old man was very straightforward, and I didn't have the chance, so I consider it a fortunate oversight

These attentions also conceal some small streamers, who even sent Hu Yang a few small gifts, clearly demonstrating their attempts to gain favor. A series of private messages emerged, all requesting to connect for collaboration to gain popularity and seeking support.

Next, there is the craftsmanship

Second Uncle spoke: Thank you, Brother Hu! My hobby is practicing calligraphy, so I recognize the brush washer

Certainly, they can also take it to a specialized appraisal institution for evaluation, but if it is not an antique, or if the final appraisal result indicates it is not valuable, then it would be a waste of money

Tsk tsk! A birdcage can be exchanged for a domestic car, how enviable! Why didn't my ancestors keep birds? Alas!

Oh my! The true treasure is actually a porcelain jar

The little bird before him, although close to him, if it wishes to fly away, Hu Yang does not intend to keep it.

The artisans who craft birdcages often carve intricate relief patterns of flowers, insects, birds, figures, and landscapes onto the cages, which are often vividly lifelike. This not only reflects the profound depth of traditional culture but also showcases the skill level of the artisans, ultimately determining the value of the birdcages.

It is a spirited canary

This series of events is simply overwhelming and makes it difficult to keep up with the pace

In a moment, all kinds of porcelain were mentioned

However, bamboo is relatively easy to source and is very inexpensive, which leads some collectors to view birdcages made from precious materials such as rosewood, ivory, and mahogany as superior quality

The brother who just answered correctly, make your presence known! Hu Yang explained.

Hu Yang reached into the birdcage and took out two jars, one containing water and the other containing bird feed

Impressive, my brother

Yesterday, I watched the live broadcast of Hu Yang, and it reminded me that the one who answered correctly yesterday was indeed this second uncle

The canary elegantly walked out from within, then flapped its wings and flew onto the hand of the poplar tree, closely examining its new master

It is important to know that the following words contain quite valuable knowledge

Blue and white porcelain

The antique birdcage emphasizes the concept of 'antiquity'; the older the era, the more historical significance the birdcage possesses, thereby increasing its collectible value and potential for appreciation.

Which household does not have a few old items? What if they are truly antiques?

Generally speaking, the older the era, the higher the value; the more exquisite the materials, the higher the value; the more meticulous the craftsmanship, the higher the value

... ...

"Today I return your freedom, feel free to leave if you wish!" Hu Yang is actually not enthusiastic about keeping pets

Hua Zai slightly widened his eyes. At first, he thought Hu Ge was interested in someone else's pet bird, but later he realized it was the birdcage that caught his attention. Now, it turns out that the true target is actually the canister for bird food.

... ...

The brush washer is a traditional craft item, belonging to the category of writing implements alongside the Four Treasures of the Study: brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. It is a vessel used to hold water for washing brushes, favored for its clever design, diverse varieties, and elegant beauty. Among the surviving brush washers, many are considered artistic treasures

Among the various types of birdcages, the most tasteful and commonly found is the bamboo birdcage

In a short period, the number of followers in Hu Yang's live broadcast room surged by several hundred

The rich get richer, is that how it works?

Hu Yang was very straightforward, giving away a virtual gift worth 500 yuan, and jokingly remarked: "This brother, could he be a fellow industry peer?"

"Second Uncle? This brother's nickname sounds a bit familiar. Ah! Aren't you the one from yesterday?" Hua Zai exclaimed in surprise

Upon hearing these words, everyone fell silent and listened attentively.

Hu Yang was at a loss for words: "I am not asking about the type of porcelain it is, but rather what it is called. For example, this table, we call it a dining table."

As soon as the words were spoken, various food boxes, food cans, and water containers emerged.

After Hu Yang finished speaking, he disregarded the reactions of the audience in the live broadcast and opened the cage

I remember the host mentioning that the base of the birdcage is worth 100,000, right? And what is truly valuable is the porcelain jar, isn't it...

... ...

A birdcage cannot continue to house birds, which constitutes a form of harm to the cage itself. Even if the canary ultimately does not leave, Hu Yang can only choose to buy a new birdcage for it to reside in.

It is once again time for the Q&A session with prizes, which everyone has been looking forward to. This time, the reward is an island valued at 500 yuan! This host is truly exceptional

Speaking of which, Brother Hu, how much can we earn this time
