Daya Zhai's regular meeting, although it is mainly a summary of work, Wu Duo can also learn things from it, such as the trend of some antique markets.

After the regular meeting, Hu Yunde called Wu Duo to the office alone and told Wu Duo that the ticket had been booked, and that he would take off from Qizhou at 12 o'clock at noon and land on Ludao at 2:30 p.m.

After the explanation, Hu Yunde took a step in advance.

Wu Duo then went to the smoking room alone, and just lit a cigarette, the account manager Wei Feng came in, holding a cigarette roll in his hand, "Xiao Wu, borrow a fire." ”

After lighting a cigarette and taking a deep breath, Wei Feng smiled and said, "This afternoon, there is nothing else to do, right?"

"Old Wei, you don't want to borrow fire, you want to borrow people, right?" Wu Duo has dealt with Wei Feng a few times, and he is relatively familiar. Later, Wei Feng said that it was awkward to call him "Manager Wei", and asked Wu Duo to change his name to "Old Wei".

"I wanted to find someone else after smoking, but if you can go, it would be the best!

"Oh, don't you say that! Isn't that roasting me on fire?"

"Now there's no one else, and I'm telling the truth. Wei Feng lowered his voice further, "It's mainly about this, it's a private job······

"Private work······? Not appropriate, right?"

"Let's put it this way, if you treat me as a friend, I personally have something to do outside of work, and you help me as a friend, that's appropriate! If you don't treat me as a friend, just a colleague, that's a bit inappropriate. ”

"Whew!"

"Let me tell you, it really has nothing to do with work, and it is not the connections at work, it is a line given by my little cousin. If you make a business, you have to give my little cousin a commission! You say, I can't have my own business outside of work? Besides, if you are not on duty today, today's work will be over after the meeting. ”

"I can't really find fault with what you said. ”

"Okay, then, I'll do it at noon, it's cool in late autumn, let's go eat something hot." ”

"Hey, Lao Wei, don't you say that I haven't paid attention yet, it's late autumn, why did my osmanthus just bloom?

"You're really right to ask me this. Let me tell you, the fragrance of osmanthus in the eighth month of the lunar calendar is generally in September of the Gregorian calendar, and the flowers that bloom at this time are mainly osmanthus and gold and silver cinnamon. Yours' is afraid that it is a four-season laurel, which will be opened every two or three months. ”

"It seems that you have a lot of research on raising flowers. ”

"Yes, I'll take you to my yard in the suburbs. ”

"There is still a hospital in the suburbs?"

"There is not only a courtyard, but a garden full of flowers and trees! At that time, I bought a very cheap old rural yard, and I designed and renovated it myself! Of course, I also found a construction team. ”

······

At noon, at Wei Feng's suggestion, the two of them went to eat stewed goose in an iron pot, and there were corn flour tortillas on the edge of the iron pot, and they were really hot.

During the meal, Wei Feng said in detail what he wanted to see.

"Porcelain, big guy. ”

"Porcelain, Lao Wei, you are still so unconfident in porcelain?"

"The key is not ordinary things!"

"Oh, since it's a big guy, then Chenghua Doucai and Yongzheng enamel can be ruled out, could it be Yuan Qinghua?"

"Xiao Wu, you are still teasing me at this time, I only said the big guy, but I didn't say that it was sky-high prices. However, if this thing is real, it is a heavy weapon!"

"Lao Wei, it's not that I'm making fun of you, it's that you've been selling Guanzi. ”

"I'm also a little long-winded because I attach importance to it. Wei Feng put down his chopsticks, "Hongwu glaze is red!"

"Oh, that's a heavy weapon!"

The period when the red and blue flowers in the glaze appeared is about the same, and they can be said to be the Yuan Dynasty. Although Yuan Qinghua also had "Song Qinghua" before, it is not a mature craft after all.

Moreover, the glaze red and blue and white, the process flow is the same, both are underglaze color, but the blue and white is "glaze blue". The colorant used for blue and white is cobalt, and the red glaze is copper. The blue and white and red hair color in the glaze are actually cobalt oxide and copper oxide.

However, once the blue and white appeared, from the Yuan Dynasty to the present, it has continued for more than 700 years without interruption.

But the glaze is red, but intermittent. The red glaze is the creation of the Yuan Dynasty, but the technology is not good, mainly by touching, and there are few orphan products.

There are only two time periods when the glaze red technology is stable and fully fired: the early Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.

As a colorant, copper is very difficult to control the color, which greatly affects the yield rate. If it is not burned well, it will either become "black in the glaze", or it will be burned into "white in the glaze".

During the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, because of Zhu Yuanzhang's preferences, he vigorously overcame technical problems, fired a large number of glaze red, and many fine products appeared.

Zhu Yuanzhang is very fond of red, his surname is "Zhu", and the year name "Hong" Wu is also the same as "red", plus Zhu Yuanzhang is not interested in blue and white, so the porcelain of the Hongwu period is more red in the glaze than blue and white.

Of course, this "many" is relative, because there were very few blue and white flowers burned during the Hongwu period. At the same time, in the Hongwu period, although the glaze red firing technology has improved, the rejection rate is not low, so compared with other porcelain varieties, the total amount of Hongwu glaze red is relatively small. And now there are even fewer of them.

Hongwu glaze red has a significant feature, it is often a large type and a big man, and it looks very domineering. This is in obvious contrast with the glaze red in the later Yongxuan period.

And after the Xuande Dynasty, the glaze red stopped burning. This is not difficult to understand, because after Xuande, the official kiln porcelain entered a "dark period", and the conventional varieties were few, and the red firing in the glaze was so difficult that it simply stopped.

Hongwu glazed red porcelain is not only an official kiln, but also limited to the use of porcelain for the court, and completely withdrew from the field of private circulation. This is different from the blue and white porcelain that has basically maintained the parallel production pattern of official kilns and private kilns.

Later, the glaze red of the Qing Dynasty was not much different from the red glaze of Hongwu after all. Therefore, in terms of market recognition, especially from the auction records, among the glaze red porcelain, Hongwu glaze red has long occupied the leading position.

Therefore, as soon as Wei Feng said that Hongwu was red in the glaze, Wu Duo was really a little excited, "What type?"

"Pomegranate Venerable! Half a meter high!"

The pomegranate is a type of instrument, and when you hear it, you know that it looks like a pomegranate. Short neck, round abdomen and circled feet, especially the lips and mouth turned out, like a pomegranate ripe open mouth.

"I'll go, why do I get more and more mysterious the more I listen?" Wu Duo frowned, "Hongwu is red in the glaze, even if it is the type of plate and bowl lying on his stomach, it is not cheap, you plop out a pomegranate venerable······"

"So I'm very cautious, I watched it once last time, and I made an appointment again this time. However, the owner also said that today is the last time. ”

Wu Duo asked again, "The owner of the goods you said was introduced by your cousin, right?
