The old man squinted, glanced at the green leather jar, and chuckled: "Ziyu melon skin is green, looking at the pulp is a thing, hundreds of thousands, let's make do with it." ”

Then he took the jar, approached his nose, and sniffed: "The jar is good, insect tea, bait tea, pomegranate skin, silkworm sand." After boiling the pot, it is easy to find, insect tea is difficult to get, old players are grabbing this thing, the supply exceeds demand, and it is the first choice to use it to deal with the jar. ”

Yu Qian hurriedly sat down and said flatteringly: "You always tell me?"

"Well, look at your sincerity, you have nothing to talk about. The sixth master slowly straightened up, played with the green leather jar with his hand and said: "The raw materials are boiled out in a large pot, and then filtered with gauze, and the pure soup filtered out is put in the pot and boiled with an appropriate amount of water. ”

"I can't do it again and again, and what comes out at the end is absolutely amazing. The ancient method of treating the jar of insects is not only good-looking, but also special pots, and the insects look very tender when they get home, and there is no oil and gas. ”

After speaking, he stood up, picked up a few jars from the corner of the courtyard, put them in front of everyone, and displayed: "I have seven or eight Ziyu jars in my hands, which are not the best, if you want to say that the Ming people are exquisite, especially the Xuande cricket jars, which are rare treasures!"

Johnson has read the report that among the cricket cans of the past dynasties, the blue and white cricket jars fired by the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty are the most prestigious. Emperor Xuande was obsessed with fighting crickets, and those who were good on the top would be very bad on the bottom, so the wind of playing insects between the court and the opposition was flourishing.

In order to meet the needs of the court to raise crickets, the emperor ordered the imperial kiln factory to burn a large number of cricket jars. During the Xuande period, the porcelain industry in Jingdezhen developed unprecedentedly, and the cricket jars fired by the Imperial Kiln Factory were excellent in craftsmanship and novel and diverse in ornamentation, so they became a generation of famous products.

Among the 1,174 pieces of Xuande official kiln porcelain in the world, cricket jars are rare. The Palace Museum on Treasure Island has not even a single one. The Forbidden City in Beijing also has only one imitation Ru glazed cricket jar made in Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, which can be described as a rare treasure.

According to scholars' research, there are only three genuine Xuande cricket jars in the world, the sitting-lid blue and white melon leaf pattern cricket jar auctioned by Sufubi in 1989, the flat-lid entwined peony pattern cricket jar of the Jiangnan Museum, which is still lacking a lid, and the flat-lid Tianma pattern cricket jar in the collection of the Toli Art Museum in the island country, the lid is also equipped with a back.

Yu Qian saw that the sixth master was in a good mood, and deliberately patted his ass and said: "The sixth master is absolutely domineering, in order to shoot Su Fubi's Xuande jar, he directly sold a courtyard house!"

Johnson gives a thumbs up, awesome!

The sixth master laughed and said proudly: "Don't dare to say anything else, I call it second when playing insects, and no one in the capital dares to say first!"

"Fighting insects began in the Tianbao period and were very popular until the Republic of China. According to the ancient colors, it is divided into five categories: blue, yellow, purple, red, and black, but there are mainly three categories: green, yellow, and purple. ”

Pointing to a huge black cricket, he said: "The colors of the insect king level are mainly: true blue, true yellow, true purple, true red, true white, and true black, which represent the purest colors among the colors. ”

"The color of the insect begins to be a little variegated, such as heavy blue, black yellow, grass purple yellow, black green, green hemp head, red hemp head, red sand purple, etc., generally speaking, the purer the color, the healthier the cricket, the stronger the combat effectiveness. ”

Johnson secretly sighed, interlaced like a mountain, only heard that dogs want to see whether the bloodline is pure, but I didn't expect crickets to be too?

The sixth master picked up another jar, and there was a small insect in it, the cricket was day and night, and it was very energetic at night, and when it saw someone, the insect began to raise its whiskers, and a pair of big teeth bit demonstratively, and the wings also squeaked and rubbed, swearing the sovereignty of this place.

"From Ningcheng, Lubei has produced good insects since ancient times. Water and soil are fertile, and the insects are also powerful, don't look at this insect is not big, but it is flexible and combative, and in the jargon it is the spirit. ”

"Look at the head shape, according to the cricket spectrum, it is big and round, and then blooming, strong and fierce, and the world is long. Rare fighting nature, if you train well, you have the potential to become a worm general!"

Johnson couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sixth Master, do you players recognize this?"

The old man rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "Although we don't have an official organization, the circle of fighting insects is very fixed, whoever has a good insect and who wins the fight will be known to the whole city in a few days." ”

No one dares to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, you brag that you are a general, but you were killed by a small soldier, don't say anything about it, and you won't even have the face to come out in the future. ”

"Besides, the real insect kings are in the hands of several people, and they generally don't fight, they know the roots at the same level, they won't waste fighting, it's not appropriate to win or lose, and now a whole product is not big and hundreds of thousands don't even think about it!"

Johnson was speechless, a worm that could only live for a hundred days could be sold for hundreds of thousands?

Rich, capricious!

"Now there are fewer and fewer good insects, and I may not be able to meet one in a few months, and last month, I accidentally saw one that I could see, and this is it. ”

picked up the jar and displayed: "I have a few standards, first of all, the head is big, the teeth are big, and then the number is enough, and the body of each part is well-proportioned." The six legs are stout, the body is good, the color is pure, and finally there is a high-grade fighting silk. ”

Suddenly, he said with some regret: "In fact, even if all the above characteristics are concentrated on the same cricket, the level of this insect can only stop at the general, and it will never be possible to reach the king of insects!"

"In the kingdom of crickets, the distinction between male insect ranks is quite strict, just like the various classes in feudal society, there is only one emperor, just like there is always only one insect king. ”

"The above characteristics can fully ensure that crickets have a strong physique and fierce fighting nature, but they lack the most important one that can become the king of insects, that is, aura!"

"I don't know if you have seen some crickets with their teeth and wings but never dared to enter when they were fighting insects?

"Just like the ancient people didn't even dare to raise their heads when they saw the emperor, it was always the general who couldn't hear the sound of the insects in the breeding, and the one who made the insects dare not listen to their own calls was the real king. ”

After speaking, he picked up the last jar and said confidently: "This top general has a bit of this kind of momentum, you see that its whiskers are not hard, its teeth are not the largest, and it rarely even calls wings." But several times, as soon as the whiskers are placed on other insects, the other party is afraid, and often wins without a fight. ”

I couldn't help but sigh: "Thousands of generals can choose, the insect king doesn't know, which year and month will you get the real insect king?"

It's not fun to just talk about it, so I just took out a few jars and demonstrated on the spot: "Don't look at the variety of this pock-headed green, but it has good teeth, standard big teeth, and can bite off its leg in one bite, which is very fierce." ”

"There is also this jujube kernel white and green, and the thick white hair is faint blue, which is considered a mutation, with great strength, and it is also a rare good insect. ”

Take out a professional bucket jar, figure 8, with an area on each side and a partition in the middle, put the insects in their respective areas, and use grass to provoke the anger of the insects. As soon as the partition was opened, the enemy was very red when he saw it, and he opened his teeth directly.

The two insects rushed together, biting each other, rolling on the ground, everyone holding their breath and paying full attention.

"Ma Tou Qing, get up quickly, bite, bite its whiskers......"

"Don't retreat...... Bite...... Bite ...... to death"

Yu Qian's roar sounded in his ears, and Johnson also began to boil with blood, and the fighting insects have been passed down for thousands of years, and there must be a reason, from the emperor's relatives to the peddlers' pawns, as soon as they go to the battlefield, there is no high or low identity, it all depends on the strength of the insects.

Only by being there can you feel that excitement and tension!

"Ma Touqing, don't run, hey......"
