In many places, there is a custom of not exceeding the age of nine, so in these places, the eighty birthday is celebrated at the age of seventy-nine.

Then again, in some places it is said that the age of the imaginary, seventy-nine years old is regarded as eighty years old, and this custom is also reasonable.

Since it is such an important day, even if Zheng Anzhi doesn't say anything, his children and apprentices will prepare for him.

However, after a few contacts, Meng Zitao also knew some of Zheng Anzhi's preferences, knowing that Zheng Anzhi likes simplicity, if it weren't for his birthday, he would usually just eat some noodles on his birthday.

Since Zheng Anzhi has such a character, and he has explained that he can't give any expensive gifts, Wang Menghan's method is indeed more suitable, and Meng Zitao believes that not only them, but others are estimated to do this.

Meng Zitao immediately agreed, and said, "Okay, do you have any goals?"

Wang Menghan said: "We don't know how much you are ready to make, how can you have a goal." ”

Meng Zitao asked, "Then how much money is Elder Zheng willing to accept?"

Wang Menghan said with some hesitation: "I don't know much about this, but at most 10,000 should be terrible." And this is a real price, it can't be said that it was the money that was paid when it was missed, otherwise Zheng Lao didn't say it at the time, and he would definitely return it later. I remember when Zheng Lao celebrated his 70th birthday, there was such a thing. ”

"That's right. Meng Zitao thought for a while and said, "What does Zheng Lao like porcelain the most, right?"

Seeing Wang Menghan's confirmation, he continued: "Then let's tentatively determine the porcelain of the folk kiln, I think the works of the folk kiln within 10,000." I was able to find some masterpieces. Of course, we don't have to focus on porcelain. If you come across other suitable birthday gifts, you can also buy them. ”

"Yes. Wang Menghan thought it was a good idea. said: "By the way, you haven't said how much money you have paid." ”

"You're two, of course I'll do half of it. Meng Zitao said with a smile.

Wang Menghan crossed his hands on his hips: "Why, we are not married yet, we must be AA system." ”

"I haven't decided what it is, but I'll talk about it then. After speaking, Meng Zitao didn't wait for Wang Menghan to react, and ran out.

"You belong to a horse, you run so fast......"

Meng Zitao returned to the store with a smile. I made a cup of tea, drank tea and read a book, and spent the afternoon leisurely.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, when Meng Zitao was about to close the door and go home, he saw a middle-aged man dressed plainly and with some sincere fear walking in with something he had picked up with a newspaper.

"Boss, I have a porcelain here, do you accept it?" said the middle-aged man cautiously in Mandarin with a western accent.

"You take it out and take a look at it first. Meng Zitao said.

The middle-aged man had just put the contents of his arms on the table. When I opened the newspaper, I thought of something and said, "Let me tell you first, this thing was dug out of the ground." ”

Meng Zitao was slightly stunned. Seeing that there was a blue-glazed plate stained with soil on the table, and the traces of the excavation were obvious not long ago, he asked with some suspicion: "Is it really just dug out of the ground?"

The middle-aged man said, "Of course there." You don't think I'm one of those Tufuzi, do you? I'm not that stupid, if it were Tufuzi. Will they take things to you and sell them? You just say you won't accept them, right?"

Meng Zitao thought of what happened to Tongdu and felt that he had to be careful in this matter. Moreover. The other party took it directly to the store to sell, and if there was a problem, it was easy to implicate himself, so he politely refused.

Seeing Meng Zitao's refusal, the middle-aged man had to rewrap the newspaper with regret and walk out.

Although Meng Zitao felt a little pity in his heart, since the other party clearly said that this was an unearthed artifact and the location was in his shop, it was better to be vigilant, otherwise bad luck would be unlucky.

At night, when Meng Zitao slept in bed, he remembered He Wanyi, and he didn't know why, but in the end, his mind was full of He Wanyi's shadow.

In this case, how can he sleep peacefully, thinking to himself, why don't you send her a text message?

But then, he hesitated again, because he didn't know what to say to He Wanyi.

"Why don't you just use the topic of greeting Xiaoyun? But what if He Wanyi thinks about it more?"

The cranky thoughts in his head made Meng Zitao hesitate for a while. But if he doesn't send it, his heart will be like grass growing again, and he will definitely have insomnia in this situation.

A big man doesn't even dare to send a text message, isn't it a shame to be ashamed!"

Thinking of this, Meng Zitao sent a message of greetings. As a result, after the text message was sent, it sank into the sea, and after waiting for half an hour, there was no response at all.

"Could it be that He Wanyi is asleep?"

Meng Zitao thought so, and looked at the time again, it was already past ten o'clock, maybe He Wanyi had indeed slept.

In this case, it was inconvenient for Meng Zitao to send another text message, so he had to fall asleep with the emotion of gaining and losing.

When he woke up the next morning, Meng Zitao took out his mobile phone and found that there was an extra text message on his phone. He was very excited, and when he opened it, he was speechless and saddened that it was just a mobile phone business text message.

"Could it be that after only three days of hard work, He Wanyi has changed her face? Probably not, looking at her words the day before yesterday, it doesn't look like she doesn't recognize people when she turns her face. Didn't you receive the text message?"

Meng Zitao thought about it again and again, felt that it was possible, thought about it, and sent another text message, but when he had breakfast, there was no movement on his mobile phone.

This made Meng Zitao a little flustered: "What's going on? Nothing will happen, right? No, you have to make a phone call." ”

Meng Zitao hurriedly returned to the room and dialed He Wanyi's phone, but it made him feel like a bolt from the blue, only to hear the phone come from: "The call you dialed has been stopped." ”

Generally speaking, there are two possibilities in this situation, one is that He Wanyi's phone has indeed been shut down, because the phone bill has not been paid.

Second, He Wanyi blacklisted his number, and if this is the case, it will also remind the status of "down, unconnected, calling, and shutdown".

If it's the first reason, it's fine, but if it's the second reason, Mencius wants to cry without tears, which is exactly what he can't accept.

But he didn't offend He Wanyi, so he didn't do it just because he learned He Wanyi's phone number or sent two text messages, right?

It's unlikely!

Meng Zitao felt that it was more likely that He Wanyi's phone bill was not enough, and He Wanyi's mobile phone number was from Shanghai, so it was possible that he owed the phone bill.

Thinking so, Meng Zitao calmed down again, and hurriedly dialed the phone from his fixed number, but the phone was still down.

Meng Zitao breathed a long sigh of relief, and then he thought again, do you want to pay He Wanyi's phone bill?

"I'm too anxious, I'm not a relative, I'm not even a friend, what kind of phone bill do I help pay? Besides, she wants to contact her family, and if she finds that there is no phone bill, she will definitely pay it. Well, let's contact after a while, but fortunately, I can't receive the SMS in arrears......"

Meng Zitao went to the antique street a little late, and after coming to the store for a while, Lao Niu came to the door with a box.

Meng Zitao invited Lao Niu to sit down, and said with a smile: "Lao Niu, it won't be any treasure to change hands, right?"

"What's the treasure of me?"

Lao Niu smiled, opened the box he brought, and said, "This is a thing I got yesterday, and I want to ask you to palm your eyes." ”

Meng Zitao raised his eyes, showed a strange look on his face, and said, "The person who sold this thing to you is not a thin and tall middle-aged man with a western accent?"

"Yes, that's him. Lao Niu was a little anxious: "That guy can't be a liar, right?"

"No, except that he came to me yesterday. Meng Zitao said.

"Ah!" Lao Niu's face turned pale, since Meng Zitao didn't accept this thing, it must be because there is a problem, this is miserable!

"Oh, I'm just too greedy!" said the old cow in frustration.

Meng Zitao laughed: "It's not what you think, I haven't even used this thing." ”

"What do you mean, a glance?" the old cow was a little confused.

Meng Zitao said: "I asked if you can have some confidence in yourself, and the man told me bluntly that this thing was dug out of his ground. If I dare to buy it somewhere else, of course I have to be careful here. ”

Hearing that this was the case, the old cow breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Zitao asked again: "Aren't you afraid that this is a ghost?"

"Hehe, anyway, I didn't know it was a ghost. ”

Lao Niu smiled: "Besides, I don't think Tufuzi should be so stupid, and will take things to our antique street to sell, so I think it is more likely to be dug out of the ground." ”

Meng Zitao asked, "Then did you ask him where he dug it out?"

Lao Niu said: "I asked, he said that his father dug it out of the field of his hometown, because he was afraid of being discovered, he worked in our place again, because he went back to the family because of something at home, and he took it here to sell." It's just a small thing, as long as it's real. ”

For people like Lao Niu, this is really not a big deal, so Meng Zitao took the thing in his hand and looked at it carefully.

I saw that the whole body was covered with green glaze, and the glaze was thicker. The hoop foot is vermilion. The center of the plate is pasted with two fish patterns facing each other from the beginning to the end, and the image is vivid. The outer wall is printed with lotus petal patterns, the valve ridge is convex, and the outline of the lotus petal is outlined with a thin line around the petal, which is simple and elegant.

In terms of shape and technology, this is a product of Longquan kiln. This kiln was founded in the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty, ended in the Qing Dynasty, the history of porcelain production is more than 1600 years, it is the longest porcelain kiln in the history of porcelain making in China, its products sell well in many countries and regions in Asia, Africa and Europe, and the influence is very far-reaching.

Moreover, Longquan kiln is still one of the six major kiln systems of the Song Dynasty, and from this point of view, we know what is the degree of its production process. (To be continued.) )
