"Oh, why is the sixth master here?" Zuo Yucheng was surprised when he saw the one-meter-nine tall old man behind Second Uncle Zuo.

"Do you welcome me like that, boy?" said the old man, with a look of disgust.

"How dare you? My little shop can stand up thanks to the sixth master, you reached out to help in the first place. Come in and sit. ”

Zuo Yucheng just saw his second uncle's attitude carelessly, but as soon as the sixth master appeared, he immediately greeted him and invited him in.

Zuo Lao Er said to the sixth master: "Sixth uncle, you see that I am not wrong, I will say that as soon as your old man comes over, Chengzi will definitely be happy." ”

Then he said to Zuo Yucheng: "Chengzi, haven't you been lacking a competent person in your store for the past two years, I have always wanted to help, but you didn't fancy the two people I was looking for, the one who came this time is really not what I was looking for, it was the sixth uncle who helped you find it, you can stay if you see it." The eldest brother is gone, and my uncle wanted to help you, but unfortunately he didn't. ”

When the tall old man saw that Zuo Lao Er had finished speaking, he stepped forward and said to Zuo Yucheng: "Chengzi, let the past pass, it's all a family, and harmony is precious." This time this person is indeed what I am looking for, it is really good, the cabinet of things I collected, he helped me palm my palm, picked out two fakes for me, and a blue and white glaze red bottle, it is a treasure, but I almost put it aside as a big road goods to eat ashes. You can see if this person is okay. ”

As he spoke, the sixth master pointed out to Zuo Yucheng the man in his thirties who was standing next to Zuo Laoer, who was not tall and had sharp eyes.

Zuo Yucheng gave the sixth master a lot of face, and said politely: "Although my store is small, the selection of people is very strict, but you are the person introduced by the sixth master, I must consider it and tell me about your situation." ”

The man said with a humble and polite attitude: "I have been working in the Tianjin area before, Mr. Zuo should know that there was a concession in Tianjin before the liberation, which was relatively safe, and there were many old and young relics of the Qing Dynasty and high-ranking officials and nobles who lived in the Tianjin concession. Those people have a lot of private property, and there are many antiques handed down or looted by their ancestors, so there are many antiques in Tianjin. I have worked there for eleven years, and my real name is Li Yuanfeng. There were a few people in that area who knew me. ”

The sixth master seemed to be really satisfied with this person, and looked at Zuo Yucheng's reaction.

Zuo Yucheng didn't seem to have any resistance, but seemed to be quite interested in this person, and asked: "This name is quite familiar, of course I know Zhiyuanzhai, it is much larger than my small shop." I don't know why you gave up your job at that shop and came to my little shop? Don't you feel condescending?"

"Where can I talk about Qu Cai, I went back to Luochuan to facilitate the companionship of my parents. My ancestral home is in Luochuan, and now my parents and relatives of that generation are basically here. In the past few years, my parents have been old, and there is no personal care around them, so they are not used to living in other places, so I have to come back, and my parents are not far away. ”

Dong Qing listened to it, and sent a good person card to Li Yuanfeng in a timely manner: "Brother Li, you are very filial." When you say this, I think of my parents, and it seems that I will really have to go home in the future. ”

Ye Xiaochi watched from the sidelines, feeling that the person brought by Second Uncle Zuo seemed to be really powerful, and he didn't know what kind of reason Zuo Yucheng should use to reject this person. Thinking of Dong Qing's begging for her, she went back to a room on the second floor to get a small bowl, and then walked downstairs steadily.

Downstairs was an atmosphere of joy for the guests and hosts, but Qu Xiaowu didn't know when he went out, but he wasn't there at this time.

Ye Xiaochi didn't care if Qu Xiaowu was there, and came over with a smile. Hearing her movement, all the people in the room looked at her.

"This is..."Zuo Lao Er hesitated a little, but the sixth master glanced at Ye Xiaochi several times.

"This is a newcomer recruited by the store, who usually tidies up the house and learns to maintain these things in the store. Dong Qing introduced.

Immediately, Dong Qing asked her again: "Xiao Ye, do you have anything to do? What are you talking about here? If you don't have anything important, go get busy first." ”

Ye Xiaochi hurriedly said to Li Yuanfeng: "I have something, I heard Brother Dong say that there is going to be a very powerful master in the store in the afternoon, and it just so happened that I heard that this master will look at the glaze red, so I want to ask some questions, if you are busy, I can wait." ”

Dong Qing felt that this girl could come down and say these words, it was estimated that she really had a trick. He had asked her for help in the morning, and now of course he had to cooperate. So he said, "If you don't take up much time, you can ask, or else you can wait until everything is finished." ”

Ye Xiaochi nodded hurriedly, waiting for this sentence. Zuo Yucheng looked at Dong Qing and Ye Xiaochi, and always felt that there was something between these two people. What happened in the few hours he was away?

Li Yuanfeng heard that the new girl in the store wanted to ask him questions, and he could have the opportunity to show his strength, of course he was willing.

"This girl, you are too polite, you can't talk about asking for advice, I will only say a few words if I know. If you don't know, then you'll have to ask for another skill. ”

"No, you must know what I'm going to ask, Brother Li. It's this blue and white glaze that is red, Brother Dong told me that it is precious, and I want to be careful when I hold it. I don't really understand, isn't it just a little more colorful than blue and white? Why is it so rare?"

Zuo Lao Er said: "I don't know about this, Xiao Li, you might as well tell her about it." ”

Li Yuanfeng put on a respectful attitude and said: "This is more complicated to talk about in detail, let me tell you briefly, that is, blue and white and red in the glaze, both of which are painted before entering the kiln." The colorant of blue and white is cobalt oxide, and the colorant of red in the glaze is copper oxide. However, if you want to make it red, the temperature is very demanding, and if the temperature is a little lower, the color will become darker, and when you look at it when you come out of the oven, it will be broken and become black in the glaze. ”

Ye Xiaochi put on a deferential look, "Mmmm, that is, the glaze is red and difficult to burn, and if the temperature is not controlled well, it will become black in the glaze." So it's rare, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, if you want to get a bright and pure glaze red, the furnace temperature can not change more than 10 degrees. It's really hard to do. The probability of firing is only one-tenth of that of blue and white, and there is no way to mass produce it, that is, it was fired in the official kiln in the Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was in a state of broken burning at other times. Even if the national strength is weakened, it can't afford to burn this thing. ”

After Li Yuanfeng finished speaking, the sixth master said to Zuo Yucheng: "How about Chengzi, this Xiao Li does have two brushes." ”

Zuo Yucheng nodded, indicating that it was okay, and Dong Qing echoed: "Brother, you know a lot." ”

Li Yuan's cover was not obvious, but there was some hesitation in his heart, at this time, the girl put the box in her hand on the counter, opened the lid, and asked Li Yuanfeng: "You see if this bowl is red in the blue and white glaze as you said, Brother Dong said yes, I don't understand." ”

This bowl is placed on the second floor, Zuo Yucheng doesn't know how Ye Xiaochi took this bowl down?

Li Yuanfeng felt that maybe Zuo Yucheng and the others had arranged it on purpose, and used this girl's hand to test his identification skills.

Zuo Lao Er also thinks so, if he accepts this person casually, it is not like Zuo Yucheng's style. However, he still has confidence in Li Yuanfeng.

At this time, Li Yuanfeng had already picked up the small bowl with a solemn expression, looked at it in his hand for a while, and then said with a surprised face: "This is undoubtedly genuine." I have long heard that the sixth master said that Mr. Zuo is very powerful, and now it seems that he is worthy of his reputation. ”

Zuo Yucheng listened, but smiled silently. The sixth master asked, "Chengzi, how does Xiao Li look at it?" Is this bowl red in the glaze?"

The words fell, and everyone looked towards Zuo Yucheng. Under the attention of several people, Zuo Yucheng nodded: "It's red in the glaze." ”

Zuo Lao Er was happy and said: "The person you are looking for by the sixth master can be worse, who doesn't know that your sixth master hurts you the most when he is young." Sixth uncle, don't be upset, in my opinion, the color of this small bowl is better than your bottle. ”

The sixth master nodded: "What are you angry about, it's better than my color, my red is a little dark." ”

Li Yuanfeng took over the conversation: "The sixth master's bottle came out earlier, it was in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, and the firing technology was not as mature as in the later years, so the color was not perfect enough, and it was a little darker, which was already rare." ”

The sixth master was very happy to hear it, Dong Qing was laughing beside him, Ye Xiaochi picked up the bowl curiously, and looked at it like Li Yuanfeng when he was appraised just now.

Zuo Lao Er, they don't understand why she is so bold as a new girl, is this taking valuable antiques as a bowl for their own dinner? But Zuo Yucheng didn't say anything, and they outsiders naturally wouldn't mention it.

Dong Qing pretended to say to Ye Xiaochi: "Xiao Ye, don't look at it, Brother Li has finished appraising, you put away the bowl." ”

Ye Xiaochi pretended to listen to Dong Qing's instructions and wanted to receive the bowl into the box, but suddenly pointed to the bottom of the bowl, revealing a puzzled expression.

Zuo Yucheng asked, "Is there any problem?" At this time, if he still can't see that there is something between Dong Qing and this girl, then his IQ should be thrown to the ground and stepped on.

The new employee performed so hard, and he, the boss, naturally had to cooperate.

"What's wrong?" Li Yuanfeng's heart also swelled with uneasiness...
