It is precisely because he has such a clear understanding of this aspect of the process that Mencius can see at a glance that the copper inlay on the porcelain in the man's hand is added later, and the craftsmanship is not very good, and the possibility that such a thing is genuine is basically not very real.

So, Meng Zitao turned his head and looked at the things in the stall in front of him.

The things on the stall are basically porcelain, and a considerable part of them look old, of course, most of this part is folk kilnware, even if it is an official kiln, it is more or less lacking, and it is not a precious variety, and the occasional precious variety has been grabbed by someone and is inquiring, so for Meng Zitao, the rest of these make him lack interest.

While looking at the things on the stalls, Meng Zitao also noticed that the things of several "Flying Tigers" hawkers were not expensive, so the business was very good, and the things on the stalls were decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye, after all, other people were not as demanding as Meng Zitao.

After looking around and not seeing anything in particular, Meng Zitao was about to get up and leave, when a guest next to him hesitantly put back a piece of porcelain in his hand.

Meng Zitao glanced at the afterglow of his eyes, it was also a porcelain suspected to be a fixed kiln, and the edge of the mouth was also inlaid with copper, the same craftsmanship.

Originally, Meng Zitao was not interested in such a thing, however, this porcelain gave him a different feeling, and seeing that no one picked it up, he hurriedly took it in his hand.

It is a wash, oblique-walled deep belly, flat bottom slightly concave. The whole body is glazed, and only the mouth is glazed along the burning, so it is inlaid with a copper mouth. The glaze color is moon white, and the glaze is slightly cyan, which can be described as white and blue. The outer wall is engraved with four layers of lotus petal pattern, and the heart is carved with two fish playing in the water, the depiction is concise, vivid and expressive, and the shape and decoration are like the demeanor of the kiln.

However, Meng Zitao did not identify it as a fixed porcelain, and to the fetal light and delicate, dense and white, high enamel transparency, strong gloss, warm and moist like jade, brush glaze thickening, so that the glaze color is smooth and verdant, white in the blue, white in the white, similar to glass transparent, the glaze is lake green, and other characteristics, this is clearly the characteristics of the Hutian kiln.

In the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, under the influence of the Ding kiln, the Hutian kiln began to use porcelain re-firing boxes, and multiple pieces of utensils of different sizes could be re-fired in one box, so the Mangkou ware appeared. Therefore, Meng Zitao believed that this should be an imitation kiln made by the Hutian kiln in the Song Dynasty.

Although it is not a genuine kiln, the products of the Hutian kiln in the Song Dynasty are equally precious, and it is also a well-preserved boutique, which is even more rare, and the market value is about 300,000.

So, Meng Zitao inquired, and the stall owner was also blind, and the price was not high like anything else, as long as five hundred.

With such a small amount of money, Meng Zitao didn't bother to bargain, and paid directly.

The stall owner originally thought that Meng Zitao would make a counteroffer, and he had prepared a rhetoric, but Meng Zitao didn't, which made him feel like he was looking away, but seeing that Meng Zitao was not very old, his eyesight would not be high, so he didn't think much about it.

But for those who know Meng Zitao, it is not the case, seeing that Meng Zitao bought a piece of Dingyao porcelain, he invariably thought in his heart, Meng Zitao will not pick up a big leak again and buy a genuine Dingyao porcelain, right?

Xiao Qian, who was introduced by the sixth child, also saw this scene, and his face was immediately gloomy.

Speaking of which, it is impossible to mix in the antique street with the current reputation of Xiao Qian, and he also plans to clear the goods in his hand, and then develop in other cities.

Originally, it was planned that this would be his last bazaar in Lingshi, but he met what he thought was the culprit, Meng Zitao.

Thinking of what happened to him since he met Meng Zitao, Xiao Qian was resentful of Meng Zitao, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and a few thoughts flashed in his mind, but thinking of Meng Zitao's background, he was a little powerless, so he wanted to fight Meng Zitao with his small body, no different from ants trying to push down an elephant.

Thinking of this, he didn't even have any interest in doing business, anyway, there were only a few ordinary things in his stall, so he packed up and prepared to leave.

Besides, Meng Zitao was very happy to get a piece of Hutian kiln melamine unexpectedly, and he felt that he was in a good state today, so he planned to go shopping more.

Meng Zitao's luck today is indeed good, and then he received some fine products one after another, although it is only a small piece, the price is not high, it is nothing to him, but it also makes him feel a lot happier.

After a while, Meng Zitao walked to Lao Niu's stall, said hello, and saw that there were few customers in front of his stall, so he asked, "How is the business today?"

"It's okay. Lao Niu said with a smile: "You also know me, I usually have something good to contact you a long time ago, and the bazaar is just a formality to make some cigarette money." ”

Speaking of cigarettes, Meng Zitao took out a pack from his pocket and threw it to Lao Niu: "I don't smoke, this box is for you." ”

Lao Niu took the cigarette and looked at it, and was stunned: "Giant panda, is it really fake?"

Meng Zitao said angrily: "What you said is really fake, don't give it back to me." ”

"How can this be!" the old cow grinned, he was a smoker, he couldn't wait to open the cigarette case and take out one of it, put it in front of his nose and inhale it deeply, his eyes suddenly lit up, and hurriedly lit the cigarette with a lighter, and took a puff carefully, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

Meng Zitao said with some tears and laughter: "I said no, it's still cigarettes, at least it's so exaggerated?"

Lao Niu shook his head intoxicatedly: "This smoke should only be in the sky, how many times can the world smell it? ”

"Yes, you can understand it, I'll leave if it's okay. ”

Meng Zitao turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lao Niu: "Wait, I have a good thing here, do you want to take a look?"

"What's that?"

"Snuff. ”

As he spoke, Lao Niu took out a box from the box under his buttocks and put it in front of Meng Zitao.

When Meng Zitao opened the box, he saw that it contained a glass bottle that looked like a snuff bottle, and it contained something like powder, which was snuff.

Snuff is actually a smokeless tobacco product made by fermenting tobacco leaf powder and flavored by nasal use. The thickness, moisture, color, irritation and aroma of snuff vary according to the recipe.

Speaking of which, snuff was introduced to China during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, snuff was in the emperor's house, and the common people did not know that there was such a thing. At first, there was no such term "snuff" in China, and foreigners called it whatever they wanted, and the names of various countries were different, some were called "Blue Gray Land", some were called "Krens Nahu", and some were called "Shi Nahu". "Shinahu" is so good that the royal family calls it "Shinahu".

When he arrived in Yongzheng, he felt that the name was not good, so he named it "snuff", so the term "snuff" was only available during the Yongzheng period.

From the beginning of Yongzheng, snuff began to spread with the reward, and finally became more and more widespread, and foreigners also made a lot of money because of the import of snuff.

Snuff is a luxury item used by people with a certain status, and of course it is also about taste. To say that snuff and feet smell the same thing is said by people who don't know how to taste it.

Generally speaking, only when you taste snuff can you smell a smell, which is different from the smell of mutton; or there is a smell of sourness, which is different from the smell of gluttony; there is also a sour taste, which is different from the smell of vinegar; there is also a smell of raw beans, like the sweet taste of raw beans, but not the smell of beans, etc., what is the smell? In general, there are mainly smells, sour, sour, beans, bitter, and its taste is endless.

Generally speaking, if you smell it for a long time, you can taste these flavors, but if you want to taste it for a long time, it will be addictive, and it is not easy to quit

Snuff is divided into three, six, nine and so on, and is distinguished by color, with the dark one being the top grade, the light one being the lower grade, the black one being the top grade, and the yellow one being the lower grade. There are also white ones, just less common.

The best snuff, the color is deep purple and close to ink, the quality is thick and mellow, commonly known as "bean paste color", it is a rare treasure. There are several kinds of yellow snuff, the color is dark yellow like steamed chestnuts, this is the top grade; the color is light yellow and light golden, there is treasure light, the taste is very sour, and it is not bad; if the quality is thin and the color is light, the smell is like the snuff of the black bean sauce and moldy vegetables in the market, it is the inferior product.

Meng Zitao did not smoke snuff, and he knew all this from his master Zheng Anzhi.

Zheng Anzhi was too busy with work and family affairs for a while, and by chance he smoked snuff to refresh himself, and the effect was good, so he smoked for a while, and then he became addicted, he felt bad, so he decided to quit, although he also accumulated a lot of experience in snuff identification, and also had a soft spot for snuff.

Lao Niu took out the Dajinhua snuff, which is quite famous, which is made by mixing musk and other precious medicinal herbs in the finely ground high-quality tobacco powder, and aging it in sealed wax pills for several years or even decades. Smoking this smoke plays a certain role in relieving fatigue.

Meng Zitao looked at the bottle, it should have been imported in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the bottle was well sealed.

In fact, there is a saying in the snuff world, "Snuff is like wine, the older it is, the more fragrant it becomes." Of course, the premise is that it is properly preserved.

At present, every European and American snuff is not marked with the expiration date, and everyone should know that the management of European and American enterprise quality and labeling is strict, which directly indicates that as long as necessary measures such as moisture-proof, sunscreen, and anti-smell are taken, snuff can be stored for a long time.

Meng Zitao's level of identification of snuff is not enough, and he can only see that the snuff inside is dark in color and should be good smoke, so he is ready to take it to the master to see.

"I want this thing, and I'll give you the money if I want it. ”

Lao Niu was very relieved about Meng Zitao, and was not worried that Meng Zitao would take advantage of him, so he responded with a smile.

After chatting a few words, Meng Zitao was about to leave, Lao Niu pointed to a stall not far away and said, "The things in that stall are quite interesting." ”

"What's wrong?" Meng Zitao looked at the stall that Lao Niu pointed to with some curiosity.

Lao Niu said: "Things should be high imitations, and the price of selling them is more expensive, but the imitation is very realistic, and there will be a high profit if you buy it back and make it old." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Then why don't you buy it?"

Lao Niu shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not interested in Gao Fang in general, with that money and kung fu, I might as well do something else." ”

"At the end of the day, you're lazy. ”

Meng Zitao laughed and said, "Then I'll go over and have a look." ”

Asked the sixth child for a sturdy bag, put all the things in, and then Meng Zitao walked to the stall, due to the remote location, coupled with the relatively high price of the sale, there were only a few people in front of the stall, and they were not familiar with Meng Zitao.

Meng Zitao looked down at the porcelain on the stall, and found that it was indeed like what Lao Liu said, these porcelains are all high imitations, and the level of production is very high, although it is a little worse than Xiao Likai, but it is already rare, as long as these porcelains are old and have channels, they can make a lot of money.

Therefore, Meng Zitao also didn't understand a little, how could this person bring these high imitations here to sell, is it really like what Lao Niu said, there must be demons when things go wrong?

This thought flashed in Meng Zitao's mind, and he felt a little funny, the other party just took some high imitations to sell, and didn't do anything out of the ordinary, what did he think about crankily?

Secretly smiling, Meng Zitao then looked at it, and felt that as long as the price of these high-quality imitation porcelain was not too expensive, it would be profitable to buy it, but he was not going to do this business himself, so as not to think too much about it from people who knew him.

Just as he was about to leave, Meng Zitao noticed a red glazed lotus petal pattern pot with his eyes, and felt that this utensil gave him an unusual feeling, a sense of standing out from the crowd.

Meng Zitao's heart moved, and he asked the stall owner, and then squatted down and picked up the pot and looked at it.

This pot is glazed with red glaze throughout, the color is even, and the glaze is smooth and smooth. The whole device is spherical, short streams, cranks, and the top of the lid is decorated with small petals. The shoulder of the pot is stamped with overlapping lotus petal patterns, and the lotus petal pattern of Ruyi head is engraved under it, with a short circle foot, and the word "official" is engraved in the center of the bottom, and there is a small hole for pouring wine next to it.

Seeing the small hole, Meng Zitao understood that this was a backflow pot, when using the pot upside down and pouring wine from the bottom hole, this hole is connected to the water trap, when the pot is upright, the principle of the same height of the liquid of the communicator is used, the wine flows out of the flow mouth, but it will not overflow from the bottom hole of the pot.

Another point, which made Meng Zitao very excited, if he was not mistaken, this is actually a genuine Dingyao porcelain, and it is also known as a rare treasure.

Su Dongpo has such a sentence in "Yongding Porcelain" that "Dingzhou flower porcelain cuts red jade", what is it talking about? No one knows. Because there are two words here that disturb your vision, one is the word "flower" and the other is the word "red". Later, after the unification of most scholars, it was determined that it was a Hongding kiln.

How precious is Hongding, the Song Shao Bowen "Wenjian Lu" in the "Dingzhou Red Porcelain" entry said: "Renzong was fortunate to Zhang Guifei Pavilion one day, saw Dingzhou red porcelain, Emperor Jian asked An to get this thing, and the concubine took Wang Gongchen's dedication as a right." The emperor said angrily, don't let your ministers send you away, and if you don't listen, why not? The concubine is ashamed to thank her for a long time."

This story is about Song Renzong, the fourth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, who is the prince in "Tanuki for Prince".

Song Renzong was a very frugal emperor, and one day he ran to his favorite concubine Zhang Guifei and suddenly saw a piece of Dingzhou red porcelain. So he asked, "Where did you get this thing?" and the concubine said to him, "It was sent by a minister named Wang Gongchen." ”

The emperor was immediately angry: "I often tell you not to accept the gifts of the ministers, why don't you listen?" After saying this, he took the pillar axe in his hand and smashed it on the spot.

First of all, it shows that this red porcelain was a very valuable thing at that time, otherwise the emperor would not be in a hurry to get on fire. If there is an extra porcelain bowl at home, if it is an ordinary thing, it is definitely impossible to get angry. At that time, it was quite difficult to make Dingzhou red porcelain, so the ministers at the bottom began to pat on the back and give gifts. wanted to send it to the emperor, but because the emperor was thrifty and didn't dare to send it, he sent it to the concubine. As a result, the emperor was angry.

Let's not talk about whether there is a deviation in this story, let's just say that with Shao Bowen's status and status, it is impossible to make up a fictitious red ding out of thin air, which shows that red ding was indeed extremely precious at that time.

Moreover, now some experts have found from the kiln site investigation that only some workshops produce Ziding porcelain in the kiln workshop, and the output is very small, mainly bowls, plates, plates, etc., and there are fewer porcelains such as bottles and jars, and it is extremely difficult to find Ziding and Hongding porcelain pieces with pure and beautiful glaze. These red dings, which have a very small output, are difficult to make, and they are all specially made for royal porcelain in the Ding kiln workshop.

Up to now, the hand-me-down red set is even more rare, and Meng Zitao actually found a genuine product here, and the surprise can be imagined, but then he felt strange, how can a good and decent genuine product be sold as an imitation......
