Chapter 501 Fu Mancang's Goblet

After Yu Yao finished speaking, he sighed slightly.

"You really want it?" Shen Ge blinked.

"How should I put it, I don't like Qianlong official kilns very much, especially the styles in the middle and late period, but such things are so distinctive."

"Well. You also know that you can't rush, so take your time. Anyway, you have kept in touch with each other. What if he wants to sell it again in the future? Or what if you get lucky and meet another one?"

"I don't want this anymore. What would you like to eat?"

"Roast goose!"

"Uh...too fatty? It's not easy to digest at night."

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

"Ok."

······
The next morning, Shen Ge went to the expert team to help, but Yu Yao didn't go out again.It was near noon when Chi Huang called and gave the address of a seafood restaurant.

Yu Yao didn't take the room Huang booked until he arrived, Fu Mancang hadn't come yet.

Cai Chihuang looked at his watch, "The old man is very punctual, there are still 5 minutes left, look, he may come in between 4 and 5 minutes."

Sure enough, Fumancang arrived less than 1 minute earlier than the scheduled time.

Fu Mancang is over sixty years old, wearing a gray striped suit, white shirt, and sapphire-blue tie. His hair is already completely white, and he is not rich, but he combs it meticulously.

Fu Mancang's real name is William Ford. Through Chinese transliteration, he came up with the name of Fu Mancang. This name sounds earthy to Chinese people, but he himself is very satisfied.

"Hello! Mr. Yu! Oh, you are younger than I imagined! Actually, I wanted to eat pineapple buns in a tea restaurant in Yau Ma Tei, but Mr. Cai insisted on coming to this seafood restaurant. It's okay, I like it too Eating seafood... The weather today is really good, and it makes me feel even better..."

After Cai Chihuang introduced each other, Fu Mancang babbled several times.

Yu Yao couldn't help laughing.

The old man's Chinese is not bad. Although it is a bit blunt, his pronunciation is generally quite standard.

Before the food was served, the three of them just chatted, and no one mentioned the pigeon blood ruby.

But after the dishes were served and the waiter went out and closed the door, Fu Mancang suddenly smiled and said, "Can you let your ruby ​​help the meal before the meal?"

Yu Yao had already carried it with him, and he had to let him see it.

"Okay, Mr. Fu please."

Fu Mancang opened the gem box, and instead of using it, he held the box and looked at it from different angles.

"Excellent color! More than [-] carats! Galder's Hong Kong Island Spring Auction has another big bright spot!"

Cai Chihuang nodded, "You are an expert, and I would not seriously recommend ordinary things. Moreover, I heard that in your spring auction this year, there is also a sapphire that is amazing and complements each other!"

"Sapphire? How can there be such a thing? Just, you are making groundless rumors!"

Yu Yao was taking a sip of his tea, and he almost choked when he heard this word. He thought his Chinese was pretty good at first, and then he began to use idioms indiscriminately.

Cai Chihuang smiled, and pointed out "mercilessly", "Mr. Fu, this is not the way to use groundless rumors. The meaning of groundless rumors is to compare news and rumors, which are based on evidence, not groundless."

"Oh?" Fu Mancang didn't feel embarrassed at all, "But why do I hear that many Huaxia friends use it like this?"

"Think about it, only when the acupoint is empty, can the wind come in. If you want to describe it as groundless, you have to use 'closed acupoints to bring in the wind'."

"It seems to be like this..." Fu Mancang shook his finger, "Then this wrong usage is just spreading rumors?"

Cai Chihuang coughed twice, "It can't be used to spread rumors like this. The more rumors are passed on, the more wrong it is, and the more outrageous it is; and a large number of people misuse the idiom 'groundless', which is caused by ignorance and inertial thinking. ... Well, let's not talk about this issue anymore, since Mr. Fu thinks this red treasure is fine, let's have dinner first, and then go to your company for appraisal in the afternoon."

Fu Mancang shook his head lightly, "Your country's idioms are so extensive and profound, I'm really beyond my powers!"

"Well, I used the idiom correctly this time."

Cai Chihuang and Yu Yao couldn't help but smile at each other.

Yu Yao thought, this old man is much more interesting than imagined.

Putting away the pigeon's blood ruby, the three of them started to eat. Fu Mancang especially liked to eat boiled shrimp. The speed was quite fast, but the movements were still very elegant.

During the meal, Fu Mancang didn't talk about antiques, but mostly discussed some Chinese food culture.

After finishing the meal, Chi Huang asked the waiter to remove the noodles and replace them with tea.

After drinking a few sips of tea, Fu Mancang said to Yu Yao solemnly, "Mr. Yu, Mr. Cai said that you have excellent eyesight and are the best among the younger generation in China. What are you best at? Jewelry and jade?" ?”

Yu Yao waved his hand, "I know everything, but I'm loose."

"This sentence seems modest, but it seems to understand everything." Fu Mancang spread his hands, "Actually, Mr. Cai told me so! So, I brought something here today."

"Mr. Fu is trying to test me."

"No, I won't be so boring, it just happens that there is something wrong with this item." Fu Mancang took the leather bag he brought, opened it, and took out a brocade box, "This is something I found by accident, and there are two Three friends have seen it, and they are all masters, but the three of us have different opinions."

"Three people, three opinions?" Yu Yao was slightly surprised.

"Yes. Can you take a look for me too?"

"Of course, it happens to be a pastime after dinner."

In Fumancang's brocade box, there is a blue-glazed goblet.The height and diameter of the cup are about ten centimeters, and the shape is very grand; the mouth is curved, the belly is curved, the high foot is hollow, and it is slightly curled outward.

The whole body green glaze, like green ice and green clouds, is moist and transparent.The glaze along the mouth of the cup is very thin, slightly revealing the white tire.

There is no ornamentation on the outside of the goblet, the inner edge of the mouth is slightly lower, there is a string pattern, and the center of the cup has a printed dragon pattern.

When Yu Yao was looking closely, Cai Chihuang couldn't help asking, "Mr. Fu, what are the three different opinions you mentioned?"

But Fu Mancang made a hissing gesture, and then pointed to Yu Yao who was appreciating.Cai Chihuang smiled, "You don't know him well, he's already finished watching it, but it's just a delay to make you feel serious."

Yu Yao smiled wryly, "It's really not easy to be sure about this thing. If I'm not wrong, the three opinions Mr. Fu said may include the Longquan kiln in the Yuan Dynasty and the Longquan kiln in the early Ming Dynasty."

While talking, Yu Yao's eyes did not leave the goblet.

"Yes! Those two masters are the two opinions. However, I disagree."

"I don't agree either." Yu Yao finally finished reading, and turned to look at Fu Mancang, "Mr. Fu, what do you think?"
