Chapter 1025
"I drank late, but I really like it, so I studied it."

The way of tea is broad and profound. In fact, Fang Ming has not been in contact with it for too long. Although he has a certain understanding, it is impossible to say that he is proficient, so he dare not brag about it. After all, he has nothing in this area. Ability.

"By the way, Mr. Fang, I think you seem to be traveling with me?"

After a few cups of tea, the previous strangeness naturally disappeared, and Li Hua asked this question, which was actually something he was very curious about before.

"Yes, that's right. We are indeed in the same business, but my store is in China. This time I came out to look around."

Fang Ming's answer was very straightforward. Li Hua was very happy to hear that, and said, "Oh? Since I'm in the same business, I just got something recently. I wonder if I can ask Mr. Fang to palm me too?"

"I don't dare to hold my eyes. If I can learn more, I will be very happy."

Hearing what Li Hua said, Fang Ming did not dare to underestimate it.The water in antique shops is very deep, and many times a shop that looks inconspicuous on the surface will hide treasures with sky-high prices.

"Oh, Mr. Fang, you are too polite, how about this, you wait a moment, I will go in and take out the things."

Li Hua stood up and walked inside as he spoke.

"Fang Ming, what's going on? He should have something good, but why didn't he show it?"

Annie whispered to Fang Ming that, in her opinion, this matter was a little "abnormal". When opening a store and doing business, if there are good things, shouldn't they be displayed?Only in this way can customers see it and buy it.

Shaking his head, Fang Ming smiled and said: "It may be like this in other industries, but it is not like this in the antique industry. For most antique shops, their main customers are repeat customers. That is to say, there are regular buyers. Temporary buyers like us are not the main target of the store.”

"Oh? So that's the case, but if that's the case, why did that Boss Li say to go in and show you something?"

"This is another situation. To put it simply, he thinks that he and I are colleagues, have common topics, and can chat, so he took out the things and showed me. This is actually a kind of communication. For example, just like you women, when you meet a friend you can chat with, you will take out the shoes you bought and so on for the other party to admire and study."

Fang Ming's metaphor is obviously very "simple and easy to understand". As soon as he said this, Annie immediately understood, "So that's what happened, I understand."

Li Hua came back soon, holding a small box in his hand, sat down opposite Fang Ming, opened it, and took out a small cup from it.

"Jianzhan?"

When Fang Ming saw what Li Hua had brought out, he blurted out immediately.

"Heh, it seems that Mr. Fang is indeed a master. It can be seen from this look. Yes, there is nothing wrong. In my opinion, this is indeed a Jianzhan."

Li Hua gently put the things in his hand on the table, and then stretched out his hand to Fang Ming, which meant that he could get started.

Jianzhan is also called Tianmu Porcelain, which is the representative of black porcelain among porcelains. It is one of the eight famous porcelains in Song Dynasty.

The Jian kiln for firing Jianzhan is one of the famous ancient kilns. The porcelain produced in this place has been known to many people since the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, tea fighting became popular. For this reason, in addition to having good tea leaves, there must also be good tea sets. It can be said that Jianzhan was produced under such an era background.

Fang Ming is very familiar with these situations of Jianzhan.However, these are all the information he got from the book. As for the real Jianzhan, he has never tried it, because there are not many such opportunities, and now there is a Jianzhan placed in front of him. Of course not.So he picked it up right away.

"Many Jianzhan are shaped like a funnel with a big mouth and a small bottom, and the foot circle is relatively shallow. There are often marks left by the pruning knife on the heel of the foot, which is the so-called "chamfer". It is slightly tilted outward, which often gives people a simple and simple shape, and at the same time, more importantly, the hand feeling of Jianzhan is generally heavy."

"Boss Li, your Jianzhan is indeed real. It's just that it's not too detailed. Generally speaking, Jianzhan is divided into four categories: open mouth, skimming mouth, closing mouth and beam mouth. Divided into large, medium, small, etc., your Jianzhan is one of the small ones."

Li Hua gave Fang Ming a thumbs up and said, "That's right, it's true. I got this Jianzhan by accident. It doesn't cost much. It's a small one. Bar."

No matter who you are, as long as you play antiques, you actually have a natural "preference" for picking up leaks. Obviously, Li Hua also has this kind of characteristic. When he speaks like this, he is full of complacency. .

Fang Ming understands this mentality very well, because he is also such a person.

Jianzhan is indeed a good thing.The current science has already studied the black glaze of Jianyao, and found that it belongs to a kind of devitrification glaze, which is characterized by lime glaze with high iron content. At the same time, because of the strong viscosity of lime glaze, There will be flow during the process, which is also the basic reason for its various "kiln changes". Of course, because the tire is extremely high in iron, it will make a sound like metal when it is tapped lightly. , This is the so-called iron tire.

"The body of Jianzhan is relatively thick, and there are small pores in the porcelain body, which makes it easier to keep the tea soup warm, which makes it an excellent tea set."

Playing with the Jianzhan in his hand, Fang Ming said softly, "Jianzhan, in fact, there are not few Jianzhan that have been handed down in the world, and it can even be said that the number is quite good, but there is a problem, that is, there are not many real high-quality products.

For example, the Yaobian Tianmu in Jianzhan is the best among the fine products, but the real Yaobian Tianmu is very rare now, and some of the top ones are in the hands of collectors in the island country. inside.

Fang Ming's hands tightened a bit, thinking of this matter, he was naturally in a bad mood, but there are some things that can't be helped.For example, even if he is willing to pay a high price for the Yaobian Tianmu collected in the island country, others are not willing to sell it, so it is really far away to get it back.

Li Hua didn't know Fang Ming's feeling at this time, but said: "Although there are many Jianzhans that have been handed down from generation to generation, after all, it is not easy to find them now. I finally found such a one from a small stall. For several years, I have been thinking about whether I can make a set of tea sets, so I often go to that place, but I have nothing to gain. I think, I guess I will not be able to find one in my life. Set up."

Hearing what Li Hua said, Fang Ming laughed and said, "Boss Li, isn't that what our industry is like? It doesn't matter if you can't collect it yourself, pass it on, and maybe your children and grandchildren will be able to do it. Let me tell you, if you really just want to get such a set of tea sets, you should have paid for them a long time ago. Ordinary Jiancups are not too hard to find, especially I don’t think you are short of money, Boss Li. Isn't it for this regrettable process to play antiques to a certain level?"

"Hahaha!"

Li Hua was taken aback for a moment, but immediately laughed loudly again, "Mr. Fang, you are right! It is indeed like this! To play antiques to a certain level, what you need is this regrettable process. Well, without this, I don’t think there is much taste in playing with antiques.”

"Yes, among us, which one has any regrets? But, Boss Li, besides the street where you are, are there other places where antiques are sold? If possible, I would like to have a look. This time going abroad, play is one aspect, if I can take a look at the foreign antique market, I am still very interested.”

Fang Ming suddenly remembered something, that is, what Li Hua said just now contained an important piece of information that he had picked up the Jianzhan in the other party's hand, and he often went to that place in order to find another Jianzhan Take a stroll, the place you can go to often is naturally a fixed market, and it seems that there are quite a lot of antiques of all kinds, otherwise Li Hua would not go there often.

There is nothing to hide about this, let alone the previous conversation. Li Hua felt that Fang Ming was very speculative, so when he heard Fang Ming's question, Li Hua nodded immediately and said, "Yes, that's right. There is indeed such a place, not too far away, maybe in a small town about a hundred kilometers away. There is a place there that indeed sells some antiques and the like. It belongs to the flea market. category, but it is a relatively fixed one. There are two characteristics of the things there, one is cheap, because they sell second-hand or old things, and the other is specific to antiques, which are really genuine. Fakes are hard to spot – of course, as with all antique places in the world, there are just too many fakes out there.”

Hearing what Li Hua said, Fang Ming's heart immediately moved, and he said immediately: "Boss Li, can you tell me how to get there? I want to go and see."

Li Hua thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Well, anyway, I don't have anything to do now, why don't I go with you?"

"Hahaha!"

Fang Ming said with a smile, "If that's the case, then I'll be more polite."
