Chapter 108: Black Glazed Porcelain Bowl
"When the two of us went, the old Taoist priest sat at the door basking in the sun, and didn't pay attention to us. This is incredible!" Zheng Tong paused and waited for everyone's reaction.
"What are you looking at, you can't see the gold, silver and jewelry, right?" asked Li Kuiyong, holding his sleeves.
Zheng Tong also sold Guanzi and wanted Zhong Yuemin to guess.
Zhong Yuemin ignored him and asked the dog: "Dogbaby, what do you see?"
"It's just a thick bowl, just like Zheng Tong is a treasure. The dog baby said disapprerovingly, in his opinion, the bowls are used for eating and drinking, nothing rare.
"What a thick bowl, that's a black glazed porcelain bowl. Zheng Tong said.
"Oh, are you sure?" asked Zhong Yuemin.
"I'm not sure, I saw it once when I was a child, someone showed it to my dad, and I just looked at it than the manuscript, and it's not far from ten. Zheng Tong said proudly.
"Take it out and take a look?" Li Kuiyong looked at what he said, and was also a little curious.
Zheng Tong looked around and took out a gray-brown bowl from his schoolbag, which was not brilliant at all, and felt that the countryside could be seen everywhere.
Li Kuiyong was a little disappointed: "This doesn't look special, there are two more under the bed in our house." โ
"Can this bowl be the same as your bowl, let me tell you, these eight or nine are not far from ten in the Tang Dynasty. โ
Zhong Yuemin took it over and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't see why. "How did you find out?"
"This bowl was brought to light an oil lamp by the old Taoist priest, and you can see that there are traces of burning on it, but I feel sorry for me. Zheng Tong pointed to Zhong Yuemin and continued: "I thought this thing was an old object at the time, so I took a closer look, and I saw it." โ
Li Kuiyong said: "I'm afraid you didn't bring other people's oil lamps, right?"
"That's what the Buddha did, can I do it?" Zheng Tong was furious.
"You can't talk nonsense about this, Zheng Tong, tell me how you got it?" Zhong Yuemin calmed Zheng Tong.
Zheng Tong said: "At that time, I was worried that the old Taoist priest would not be able to speak, so I took the bowl and compared with him, but I didn't think that the old Taoist priest directly asked: 'Like?', I nodded, and the old Taoist priest gestured with me with two fingers, and I wondered in my heart what this meant, whether it was two pieces, or two hundred." โ
"What happened?" Zhong Yuemin said curiously.
The dog baby answered: "At that time, I saw where Zheng Tong was stunned, and I didn't know what this baby was thinking, so I took two nests from the bag and gave them to the old Taoist, and the old Taoist smiled and let them go." โ
"Two nests?" Zhong Yuemin said in surprise.
"Then what else, a broken bowl for two nests, or cornmeal, the old Taoist priest is going to steal the fun. The dog baby felt that Zhong Yuemin was as bad as Zheng Tong.
Zheng Tong couldn't help but laugh all the time, "I was dumbfounded, I couldn't believe it." Later, I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for the old Taoist priest to have no oil lamp, so I emptied the ink bottle I brought, filled it with lamp oil, and plugged in the wick. โ
"Just scold him, a bottle of ink, and you have to spend three cents to buy it, isn't this a loser!"
Li Kuiyong asked, "How much can this bowl be exchanged for?"
"Now there are few people who accept this, and they can't sell it at a price, if they go to the commission bank, can they be exchanged for a hundred yuan?" Zheng Tong thought in his heart.
"Really?" the dog baby was startled, their village didn't earn more than two hundred yuan a year, and this broken bowl that didn't seem worth it to him could be sold for so much money.
Li Kuiyong also looked at the bowl seriously, "I didn't expect it to be worth so much money!"
"Don't think about it, you two, this bowl is from an unknown source, the commissioning bank will not accept it, and you can't sell it for money if you go. Zheng Tong couldn't see that they saw the money, so he called for a basin of cold water.
"Why don't you take it!" the dog baby was a little excited, feeling like her money had been taken away.
When Li Kuiyong heard that he couldn't sell for money, he lost interest: "It's better to sell it for money!"
"What do you know!" Zheng Tong carefully put away the bowl, "This is an antique! Do you know an antique? In a few years, I won't sell it for a hundred, ten thousand." โ
"Cut, pay back 10,000, 10,000 yuan, have you ever seen it?" Li Kuiyong disagreed, now the salary of a state cadre is only 30 or 40 yuan a month, and he can't imagine that there is 10,000 yuan.
The dog baby also laughed, thinking that Zheng Tong was annoyed and embarrassed and bragged.
Zhong Yuemin thought to himself, I am afraid that it will be tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars to buy such a small bowl. But he took into account the safety issue, and there was not much, and he smiled and pulled down.

"Dog, where is our next stop?" Zhong Yuemin asked as he looked at the mountains and mountains in the distance.
The dog baby found a high place, looked into the distance for a while, and said, "Five or six miles ahead of me is Wujiawan." โ
"Ah, there are still five or six miles!" Zheng Tong listened and sat down on the ground, they had already walked more than ten miles, and they were already too tired.
Zhong Yuemin simply let everyone rest and asked the dog baby: "What kind of bay is this Wujiawan?"
"I'm afraid it's a big bay on a tributary of the Dali River. "The dog baby is a little uncertain, he has never recognized a map, and his knowledge of geography is all sensory knowledge.
"This time there is finally a ditch, and we can get business. Zheng Tong said.
"I heard that the water in the ditch in Wujiawan is not small, and many fields are washed away every year. The dog baby added.
"Wu Laozhuan, the secretary of their village party, I have seen it, and I want to build a dam, and I told it once last time, saying that the water in the ditch is too fast, and there is nothing to do. Zhong Yuemin remembered the scene of the publicity meeting that day.
"That's a good feeling, let's have dinner and rest tonight. The dog baby said happily.
When several people were resting and drinking water, there was a bell behind them, and I saw a young man in work clothes leading a small donkey and walked over.
"Comrade, are you heading to Wujiawan in front?" the other party approached, also stopped, and asked.
The dog baby said: "Yes." You're the projectionist in the county who comes to show movies, right?"
"Yes, I went to Wujiawan to show a movie today, and it officially started at 7 o'clock in the evening. The projectionist replied proudly.
The dog baby said happily: "Comrade projectionist, what movie is playing tonight?"
"Railway guerrillas, have you seen it?" asked the projectionist.
"No, but I know that the movie theater in the county town has been released, and the ticket price is five cents, so I didn't watch it. The dog said.
"Then you can catch up today, you don't need money to watch a movie today. The projectionist said, picking up the kettle and drinking.
"Is there any new film?" Zheng Tong interjected: "Railway guerrillas, I have watched them eight hundred times. โ
"Oh, it's the educated youth from the city, you guys are tired of watching the film, let's just start showing it here. The projectionist is obviously familiar with the educated youth, "Even if there is a new film, it is not our turn." โ
"It's boring!" Zheng Tong said.
