Chapter 543 Black Pottery
"Bald?"

Chu Chen had some doubts about the name at first, but he immediately remembered that the bald man Pang Caihu was talking about was probably the one who was frightened stupid by him.

Afterwards, Pang Huhu described the appearance of the bald man he was talking about, and Chu Chen was immediately sure that it was the man he thought of.

Chu Chen asked: "How do you know that Bald Biao is here to trouble me? Do you know the person who made Bald Biao?"

Pang Huo hurriedly explained: "This matter was told to me by his wife when I went to find Bald Biao this morning. She said that Bald Biao was beaten badly by you and asked me to help Bald Biao get revenge. I get along with Bald Biao It’s not bad, when I heard about it, I brought my friends here as soon as I got excited.”

"You are so courageous that you didn't even know who I am beforehand!" Chu Chen shook his head when he heard this, but Pang Huo also gave him a clue. Uncle made a phone call and asked him to investigate, and to settle the matter was to pull out a thorn in his heart.

"This...hehe!" Pang Huhu smiled coyly. He mainly thought that his brother-in-law was considered a high-ranking official. In this part of the capital, the owner of an antique shop must be able to deal with it, but he didn't expect that something happened as soon as he came. , even if he gets through this time safely, he reckons he will be cleaned up by his brother-in-law.

"By the way, did Bald Biao's wife tell you that Bald Biao is crazy!" Chu Chen suddenly thought of a key question.

Pang Huhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hands and said, "No, if Bald Biao went crazy, then his wife would have no reason not to tell me!"

"That's it!"

Chu Chen nodded. In this case, Bald Biao's wife deliberately did not tell Pang Huhu about the situation, and Bald Biao was pretending to be crazy.

Chu Chen prefers the latter. After all, Bald Biao is also a small boss, so how can he be so easily frightened? He thinks that Bald Biao pretended to be crazy. Firstly, he could avoid beating him severely at that time. Second, he also wanted to avoid punishment. Bald Biao had some leverage in the hands of the instigator, so that he would not confess to the person, but would also trap himself.

In any case, since he learned about the situation from Pang Laohu, Chu Chen quickly called Zhao Qirui with his mobile phone and explained the situation. It should be settled soon.

Just as Chu Chen was calling, the police, ambulance, and Pang Huhu's brother-in-law all arrived.

Chu Chen was really not in the mood to deal with this matter, so he made false claims with Pang Huhu's brother-in-law, and after a few polite words with the police, he dismissed them all.

"Let's go, let's go upstairs!" Chu Chen shook his head, then picked up the cardboard box and went straight upstairs.

When Chu Chen and the others disappeared, the shop assistants began to discuss. Before, they knew that their young boss was both knowledgeable and rich. Today's scene shocked them even more.

Pang Huhu's brother-in-law is already a high-ranking official to them, and he can only be submissive in front of Chu Chen, and is very afraid that his boss will be angry. From this point of view, his young, handsome and wealthy boss is probably a hand-eye A man of heaven!

While all the clerks were stunned, some female clerks began to think wildly.

When we arrived at the VIP room, Zhou Wenping hurriedly made tea for Chu Chen, and then said, "Boss, although this matter is less interesting today, it can be regarded as a reputation for our store. At least no one will dare to come to our store to make trouble in the future." .”

"I think so too!" Chu Chen said with a slight smile, "Okay, I don't want to spoil the fun, let's take a look at this black pottery!"

"Hei Tao?" Both Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu were attracted by Chu Chen's words.

Afterwards, Chu Chen took out the utensil wrapped in the newspaper. It turned out to be a black pottery cup with a high handle.

This high-handled cup is 22 centimeters high and nearly ten centimeters in diameter. The whole body is made of muddy black pottery, and the surface of the vessel is black and shiny.

This cup has a wide sloping rim, a deep belly cup body, a thin tube-shaped high handle, and a ring foot base.The middle part of the cup belly is decorated with six concave string patterns, and the middle part of the thin handle is hollow and decorated with fine perforations, which looks like a cage.

A ceramic pellet is placed in it, and when the cup is shaken in the hand, the ceramic pellet will make a light and crisp sound when it collides with the cage wall.When the cup is standing, the pottery pellets can stabilize the center of gravity, and the design is very ingenious.

The shape of this high-handled cup is light, straight and beautiful, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. When Zhou Wenping saw it, he exclaimed: "Boss, this is the eggshell black pottery of the famous Longshan culture, right?"

The Longshan Culture roughly corresponds to a type of cultural relics from the late Neolithic Age, mainly distributed in the peninsula of Shandong Province, and a small number of ruins have also been found in other places.This culture is characterized by many thin, hard, light and black pottery, especially eggshell black pottery, so it is also called "black pottery culture".

Eggshell pottery is a kind of high-handled cup with exquisite production, small shape, dark and shiny appearance, and a pottery body as thin as an egg shell. in larger burials.

Eggshell pottery is made from the fine mud deposited in rivers and lakes in ancient times.Its fineness is even higher than that of clay produced by modern technology, and these clays do not contain coarse sand or other impurities.

Pottery craftsmen use fast wheel drawing forming or manual forming in sections, after sharpening, grinding, calendering, ground picking, scratching, taper holes, hollowing out, kneading, pasting, bonding, high-temperature firing, carburizing It is fired by multiple processes, and the water absorption rate is low.The unearthed utensils have been basically free from water and soil erosion after thousands of years, and the surface of the utensils is as smooth as new.

The thin pottery body is an important feature in its production process. The thinnest part is at the mouth of the plate, the thinnest part is 0.3 mm, and some are as thin as 0.2 mm, generally around 0.5 mm.

Because the handle and the base have to support the upper weight, the pottery body is slightly thickened, but usually it does not exceed 1-2 mm.The height of the body does not exceed 25 cm, and the weight is mostly 50-70 grams.Eggshell pottery has the reputation of "thin as paper, hard as porcelain, bright as mirror, black as lacquer".It is precisely because of this that it is called eggshell pottery.

However, according to the current pottery making technology, it is almost impossible to smoothly pull out the thin pottery blank with a thickness of about 0-2 mm. The thickness of the bottom of the thin-bodied porcelain of JDZ Ming and Qing official kilns is also about 0-5 mm, and it is less than 1 mm from the blank to the edge of the mouth.Unless the molding and grouting process is used, the technical difficulty of imitating eggshell pottery as it is is unimaginable today.This is also a problem that plagues many modern experts and scholars.

Chu Chen carefully looked at the high-handled cup in his hand, and found that it was the same as the real Longshan eggshell black pottery in every respect, then nodded and said: "If I read correctly, this should indeed be a A piece of Longshan eggshell black pottery."
