Jingxiu Market.

Zhonghua Antique Store has officially opened for business. Master Pao and Zheng Guangrong are in charge of receiving customers in the running hall, Zuo Xiaoqing is in charge of auditing, Xie Jingwen doesn't have much time in the store, and often hangs out in the market and antique stalls.

While Shen Qiu crushed Liu Dapeng, a special customer wearing sunglasses walked into Zhonghua Antique Store.

This customer is alone, with a slightly obese figure, his iconic curly hair, and a tight mask. Since his facial features are covered by sunglasses and masks, he can't be seen from his appearance for the time being. His age is about 40 to 50 years old.

The customer first knocked on the door politely, and asked in Japanese Mandarin: "Hello, hello! Does your antique shop accept goods? Ancient jars!"

"Shut up! Boss, please..." Master Pao stood up to welcome him to his seat, and ordered Zheng Guangrong to serve tea and water: "Eh? What's the name of this boss? I think you look familiar to me! Let me think about it, I seem to have seen you somewhere..."

"Indeed, I am also an antique collector. I often walk on this street. It is normal to see me familiar." The curly-haired man explained patiently, and then placed a huge box in his hand in front of him. .

"That's that, what's the name of this boss? You can speak Mandarin? Have you ever stayed in Yanjing City?"

The curly-haired man nodded and replied: "My surname is Sano, and I have been in the clothing business for the past few years. Because I mainly deal with the market in Yanjing, I have also learned Mandarin! Can speak a few simple Mandarin, you guys I can understand Mandarin too!"

"All right, all right, Mr. Sano! What treasure do you want to sell in our store?"

"The situation is like this..." The curly-haired man paused and began to say: "I am a professional antique collector, and I am especially interested in Huaxia collections. I like the porcelain fired by Huaxia kilns very much. Making porcelain looks like an easy process on the surface, but in fact the difficulty is beyond what ordinary people can imagine!"

"The proportion of the tire quality, the time and heat of the kiln mouth, and the painting on the surface of the porcelain, among which hundreds of processes can be fired to produce a perfect work of art, so many imitations are now The fact that the original taste cannot be imitated is not because of the poor production process, but because the author of the imitation has omitted dozens of steps in it, so the original taste cannot be made naturally!"

"Also, even if the imitators imitate it step by step according to the process, the current materials are very different from those of the ancients hundreds of years ago, just like the current cigarettes will never be able to smoke the mellow flavor of the 50s and [-]s. !Even if the same kiln master, the same material, and the same process can't make exactly the same porcelain!"

As the saying goes, as soon as an expert makes a move, he will know if there is one.

Master Pao has also seen countless people in this industry. After Sano's words, he can tell that this curly-haired customer is an expert, and the pros and cons of porcelain are well-known. , I am even more interested in the treasure in his box.

"It stands to reason that with my economic conditions, I don't need to sell my treasures outside. It's not that I'm bragging to you. Before that, I was worth 1000 million U.S. dollars in business, which is not a big deal in the business world of Dajing." He is a very famous celebrity, but he is also a person who does not worry about food and clothing. To use your Yanjing words to describe it, he is living a very nourishing life!"

"It's a pity that Feng Shui has changed. My business is not doing well this year! I squeezed tens of millions of goods and hoarded them in the warehouse and couldn't sell them. I lost millions of dollars in a few months. Now It is a time when money is urgently needed, so I have no choice but to take out the treasures at home to exchange for money, hoping to exchange some money to tide over this difficulty!"

Master Pao nodded to express his understanding, and asked by the way: "Then the boss, why did you choose our Zhonghua Antique Store! Our store is newly opened, and we don't have much reputation in the Jingxiu Antique Market!"

The curly-haired man waved his hands one after another and said, "Who says it's not well-known? People in Japan may not know it, but I often visit Panjiayuan, how can I not know? Master Shen Qiu is a household name in Yanjing City, Yanjing's rookie king! In just one year, he defeated many opponents, and finally became the youngest master of the national teacher list in Yanjing City! Others don't know, but don't I, a China hand, not know?"

As soon as Master Pao heard this, he cheered up: "Hehe! I didn't expect it! My brother's reputation in Ridao is so popular, this boss is really a person who knows the goods! Haha! But although this boss said you put My brother can figure it out, but we still have to see what kind of treasure you brought! It’s right! We’re happy to give you the price, but if it’s wrong, it doesn’t matter even if you are my brother’s father! Hehe!”

"That's that..." The curly-haired man brought up the box in his hand.

At this time, Zuo Xiaoqing suddenly came out from the side, dragged Master Pao outside and muttered in a low voice: "Master Pao! This person better be careful!"

Master Pao frowned: "What do you mean Xiaoqing?"

Xiaoqing showed a sad face and said: "I can't say. Brother Shen said before that you should look at a person's face first. Although I don't know how to look at a person's face, I feel that there is an evil spirit in this person! It's spooky! Something is wrong! I am Let you be careful!"

"Pull it down, Xiaoqing! You are too suspicious! What kind of face can you tell when someone wears a mask and sunglasses? Besides, we are open for business, so we can't push customers away! Things are right. If the price is right, we will accept it, if something is wrong! Don’t care what price the other party asks! Don’t give it away for free! Right?”

In the room, the treasure brought by Sano appeared on the counter.

It is a jar of yellow mud color. I saw that the jar is oval in shape, about [-] centimeters in height and [-] centimeters in width. The mouth of the jar is plugged in with a cork. A basketball, like a hole was cut in the middle.

"Master Cannon! Sister Xiaoqing!" Zheng Guangrong came up to take a look, then ran out happily and muttered: "I saw the man's stuff inside, it's a good thing! It's still quite old! I did a rough visual inspection , is something from the Tang Dynasty! With a history of at least 500 years from now, it should be the treasure of Tang Taizong Li Shimin's time!"

"Fuck! A treasure from Li Shimin's period? If it's a palace item, then this leak is a big deal!"

"I don't know if it's a palace item, Miss Xiaoqing! Just go in and take a second look to find out!"

Just like that, the three returned to the counter. This time it was Zuo Xiaoqing who took the initiative to look up and observe. The appearance of the jar showed a yellow mud-like color, and a thick layer of transparent paste was formed on the periphery of the porcelain. The color and transparency of the patina match. According to the thickness and shape of the patina, it does have a history of more than 1000 years.

After Zuo Xiaoqing's careful observation, she did not find any traces of repairs on the outer layer, but she did not relax her vigilance, and asked cautiously: "Mr. Sano, could you please introduce the origin of this yellow clay pot?"

"Amazing! You are amazing, little girl!"

The curly-haired man first gave Zuo Xiaoqing a thumbs up: "Little girl! You have good eyesight! To be honest! This kind of jar is considered unpopular in our Ridao. Few people have seen this kind of jar, and they can't tell The scientific name of this kind of jar, many people’s first reaction is that it is a fake! They also say that this type of porcelain does not exist in the antique world!”

"Boss, you are wrong. This is really not porcelain. Strictly speaking, this kind of vessel should be called yellow pottery. The production process of pottery is relatively simple. Pottery itself is divided into glazed and unglazed. The difference between glaze, in our current words, is the protective layer. Pottery with a protective layer is relatively easy to preserve. Basically, pottery that can be preserved for more than 1000 years is glazed on the surface! Those pottery that are not glazed There are only two possibilities, one is a fake! The other is dug out from an ancient tomb!"
