An esteemed antique expert asked for advice, which made Zhang Xiaowei quite embarrassed.
He laughed hesitantly for a moment, then decided to teach the old man a lesson.
"You think this hairpin isn't valuable, probably because you haven't noticed the material it's made of."
At these words, Teacher Wei was taken aback.
Then he smiled and nodded, saying, "Young man, you're right. I find this hairpin to be like jade but not jade, like bone but not bone. It seems somewhat like ivory, but it also differs greatly from ivory. I'm really unable to accurately discern the material of this hairpin."
Seeing that even Teacher Wei couldn't identify it, the people around them immediately started buzzing with conversation.
"No way, the material of that hairpin even eludes Teacher Wei?"
"Although he couldn't figure it out, did you hear what Teacher Wei just said? He clearly meant that this hairpin isn't made of plastic."
