"Dad, it's a one-size-fits-all when you say that, don't mention anything else, that qigong master is really capable. ”

Jiang Zhongqiu swore and said: "When I found him, I asked him to perform the legendary telekinesis, and the master immediately entered the state, and after a while, he grabbed an egg from the air, saying that it was just laid by the old hen in his backyard, and asked me to touch it, I felt that it was still hot." ”

Jiang Weiwen was speechless: "How old are you, and you still believe in this trick, this is a charlatan, in fact, the egg has been hidden in his sleeve, and the temperature on the egg is his body temperature." ”

Jiang Zhongqiu was also speechless: "I'm not a fool, I can't even see his magic tricks." ”

"Hey, you're not much smarter than a fool. Jiang Weiwen already knows his son's temperament well, and besides, the qigong masters promoted in society are often proven to be liars in the end.

"I kindly asked you for some medicine, but I still have to be scolded. Jiang Zhongqiu muttered quietly.

"You kid, I've eaten more salt than you've ever eaten, could it be that I deliberately wronged you?"

Jiang Weiwen shook his head: "In this way, you will take the medicine for identification tomorrow, and if there is no problem, I apologize to you." ”

Jiang Zhongqiu waved his hand again and again: "Don't, if it's okay, you just need to take this medicine on time every day." ”

"I can agree to this, but what if there is a problem with this medicine?" Jiang Weiwen asked rhetorically.

Jiang Zhongqiu thought for a while and said, "Then I'll do whatever you want." ”

"Okay, that's what you said. ”

"Of course, a manly man, with a mouthful of spit and a nail, will definitely not regret it. ”

Jiang Zhongqiu was also an anxious child, and after making a bet with his father, he rushed out to do a drug evaluation.

"Boy, I hope this time it will make him smarter. Jiang Weiwen said.

Meng Zitao smiled slightly and picked up a few nice words.

After a few idle words, Jiang Weiwen said: "Xiao Meng is the first time to come to me, let me take you to see the collection at home." ”

"It's an honor!"

Jiang Weiwen got up and took Meng Zitao to his treasure room, as soon as he walked in, Meng Zitao felt a little dazzled, only to see that the room was densely packed with all kinds of porcelain, including both rare official kiln porcelain, as well as rare exquisite folk kilns, all kinds of which were breathtaking.

Jiang Weiwen is also very proud of his rich collection, he smiled and said: "You look first, if you find any problems, remember to tell me." ”

Meng Zitao nodded, and then admired the collection in the room. Because of the limited time, of course, he can't appreciate them one by one, so he can only pick the key points, and as for the ordinary ones, a few glances will pass.

But even so, for Mencius, time is like flowing water, in the process of appreciating antiques, it flows away with a bang, and it feels like the sky is dark in the blink of an eye.

"Xiao Meng, let's eat first, if you can't finish watching it today, you will watch it tomorrow. Jiang Weiwen said with a smile.

Meng Zitao said regretfully: "I have been in Shanghai for a few days, and I still have some things to deal with at home, and I have to go back tomorrow." ”

Jiang Weiwen smiled: "Then I'll see it when I come back to me, you won't think I'll run away." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Then let's wait until I come to visit you next time." ”

Jiang Weiwen nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go to dinner." ”

After dinner, Meng Zitao chatted with Jiang Weiwen for a while before getting up to say goodbye.

"Xiao Meng, thank you for treating me today, I don't have anything to give you, these medical books are my collection over the years, and they can be regarded as some of my thoughts. Jiang Weiwen took out a brocade box and handed it to Meng Zitao.

Meng Zitao hurriedly excused himself and said, "Elder Jiang, don't be so polite, I'm just a gesture." ”

Jiang Weiwen forced Meng Zitao to say: "Accept it, it's useless for me to hold this book, it can only play a role in your hands." ”

It was difficult to resist the hospitality, and Meng Zitao nodded seriously: "Old Jiang, thank you." ”

Jiang Weiwen smiled and said, "There is a strange book here, and the content on it is written in code language. ”

As he spoke, he opened the brocade box and took out an ancient book from it.

Meng Zitao took a look and found that the content in the ancient books was indeed messy, but some professional words could still be seen, and it was likely to be a medical book. In addition, judging from the paper and other aspects, it is likely that this ancient book was written in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Next, Jiang Weiwen told Meng Zitao that this so-called medical book was actually obtained by paying off. One morning in '95, Jiang Weiwen went to the small shop he frequented to have breakfast, and not long after he sat down, he saw an old man in his fifties and a son with a tiger's back also come in for breakfast.

The two estimated that their hands were a little tight, as long as they had somen noodles, the old man ate two bowls alone, and his son was big, and now he was hungry, so he actually ate seven bowls of somen noodles, and the people around him were a little dumbfounded.

It's just that there was a problem at the checkout, and the old man touched his hand, and there was not a penny in his pocket, which immediately made his face change greatly, and he rummaged around, but he didn't find the money, and he cried anxiously for a while.

Jiang Weiwen felt that his heart was soft, so he did good deeds and helped the old man and his son pay for the face, and he should do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

Later, Jiang Weiwen heard that the father and son came to Shanghai to look for a job, but they didn't find a job, and they almost cheated the money they brought, and the only money they had on their bodies was lost, and the father and son didn't know what to do.

At the time of the ninety-fifth year, people were still relatively simple, Jiang Weiwen felt that the old man and his son were more pitiful, so he asked a friend to help them find a job.

The old man and his son were very grateful to Jiang Weiwen, and after a while, the old man went to Jiang Weiwen, and then took out an ancient book that looked to be some years old to give to Jiang Weiwen, and he told Jiang Weiwen that this book was a medical book handed down from his ancestors, and it recorded some magical recipes. It's just that this medical book is written in coded language, and ordinary people can't understand the composition of the prescription at all.

The old man's ancestors still had a book that recorded the code language, but because of the war, it was lost, and now even they don't know how to crack the content inside, and now give it to Jiang Weiwen, hoping that Jiang Weiwen can crack it.

Jiang Weiwen said: "Later, I also found a few people to identify, and everyone agreed that it was something from the Ming Dynasty, but because I didn't know the code language, no one could figure out what was written in it, and then I left it idle." I don't have much interest in medical books in the first place, and I don't have time to study any code words, so I'll give them to you. ”

"I'll do my best. ”

"Don't be pressured, even if you can't figure out why. ”

"I know that, and if there is a result, I will tell you. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news. ”

…………

The next day, Meng Zitao followed Yu Weigang to see the office address and store he had selected, and after putting forward some suggestions, he went to pick up the harvest in Shanghai and went back.

As soon as he arrived in Lingshi, before Meng Zitao could catch his breath, he received a call from Lao Yang, asking him if he was in Lingshi now, and his friend had a batch of porcelain Hailao porcelain to deal with, and asked Meng Zitao if he was interested.

Hailao porcelain, as the name suggests, is porcelain fished out from the bottom of the sea. These porcelains are generally found on the Maritime Silk Road, and were lost after the sinking of ancient ships in China. With the increasing improvement of shipwreck salvage technology, more and more Hailao porcelain began to appear, and Hailao porcelain gradually attracted the attention of Tibetan friends and quickly resonated in the collection circle.

In the auction market, since the 80s of the last century, some people have auctioned more than 20,000 pieces of Hailao porcelain found on a shipwreck in the Qing Dynasty, and finally made a profit of more than 8,000 francs. Since then, the value and influence of Hailao porcelain have begun to increase day by day. In recent years, in some domestic collection markets, the transaction price of Hailao porcelain has been rising, and Hailao porcelain has risen from the original dozens of yuan to tens of thousands of yuan now.

Meng Zitao is still very interested in Hailao porcelain, not to mention hobbies, just from the perspective of business, in the antique market, any category has a boom and fall time, the porcelain market has gone through many years of development, and now the price has repeatedly broken through new highs, and then go on like this, it will definitely enter a bottleneck period.

In addition, there are too many fakes of various porcelain, which also limits the development of the porcelain market to a certain extent.

The Hailao porcelain market is just beginning to develop, and there are not many people who really love collecting, and some of these fine products have not yet entered people's sight, in short, there is still a lot to do. Now, even if you buy some real products and invest them, it is a sure deal.

Of course, this refers to the real thing, don't look at the Hailao porcelain market is not too prosperous, there are already all kinds of fakes.

Getting back to the point, Meng Zitao told Lao Chang that he was interested, and then drove to the place that Lao Yang said on the phone.

Lao Yang introduced the two sides, and everyone politely talked for a while and turned to the topic.

Lao Yang's friend is called Zhu Muwei, he took everyone into a small warehouse, and introduced to Meng Zitao as he walked, saying that he was originally in the Pu'er tea business, and experienced a peak in 07, and then retreated bravely.

For the 07 years of Pu'er tea market, Meng Zitao still remembers it vividly, the rise of Pu'er tea at that time, like a fantasy, created one after another "myth" in the domestic business world, a cake of ordinary Pu'er tea cake from a cake of more than 10 yuan, suddenly fried to a cake of more than 100 yuan, a pound of Pu'er Tuo tea from 20 yuan / piece, suddenly soared to 200 yuan / piece.

Of course, the market can't be so crazy all the time, so when the bubble bursts, the market will be miserable, and this round of speculation will eventually lead to some people jumping from a commoner to a multi-millionaire overnight, and some people from a multi-millionaire to a poor.

Zhu Muwei said with emotion: "At that time, the Pu'er tea market was just like crazy, I was terrified to make money, and finally after thinking about it, I still cut off the desire for money, and cleared the goods in my hand, which can be regarded as my luck, and it didn't take long for this line to change, so I was afraid to think about it." After that, I listened to my friend's introduction and started the business of Hailao porcelain, but I felt that the growth in the past two years was not big, maybe I was not suitable for this industry, so I wanted to clear the goods. ”

When Meng Zitao heard this, he muttered in his heart: "You have tasted the huge profits of Pu'er, and it is strange that you will honestly wait for the sea to rise little by little." ”

Zhu Muwei pointed to the boxes in the warehouse and said: "These are all the goods I took from my friend, they are all directly fished from the shipwreck in the sea, you see, as long as the price is right, I can sell them all to you." ”

Meng Zitao looked at it, there were two or three hundred boxes in the warehouse, and if they were all filled with Hailao porcelain, it was estimated that there were hundreds or even thousands of Hailao porcelain, which was quite spectacular. Of course, among them, there must be most ordinary varieties, and as for high-quality products, the number should be limited.

Meng Zitao nodded and said, "Boss Zhu, then I'll take a look first." ”

"Okay. ”

Zhu Muwei called the staff and helped the boxes open one by one, and there were large and small porcelains in the boxes, some of which contained several pieces, and some of which contained only one piece, all of which showed the characteristics of Hailao porcelain.

Meng Zitao stepped forward to check one by one, generally speaking, Hailao porcelain itself belongs to the product of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, with its unique historical background, Hailao porcelain can truly reflect the historical information of Chinese and foreign cultural exchanges in the era. For example, the famous "Clark porcelain" is a kind of export porcelain that appeared in China in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, mainly blue and white.

This style may not be too popular with the Chinese, but compared with the official kiln porcelain, the number of Hailao porcelain is much larger, so the market price of a single piece of Hailao porcelain is not high, which is undoubtedly suitable for some ordinary people to collect and invest.

In addition, Hailao porcelain is porcelain salvaged directly from the seabed, and its authenticity rate is relatively high, and the identification of age and authenticity is relatively easy, which is undoubtedly more suitable for ordinary public collectors.

For Meng Zitao, the identification of Hailao porcelain is not difficult, so the speed of appreciation is relatively fast, and after a while, half of the boxes have been seen by him, among which ordinary porcelain is the most, and there are also some fine porcelain can enter his eyes, and none of them are fakes.

However, when he saw that it was close to three-quarters, the porcelain in a box made his brow furrow slightly.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Muwei was an experienced businessman after all, and he was more observant of his face, and he immediately noticed Meng Zitao's expression.

Regarding Zhu Muwei, who is not a businessman in the circle, Meng Zitao didn't say much, and said bluntly: "I'm not very optimistic about the porcelain in this box. ”

"Hmm, do you mean there's a problem?" Zhu Muwei is not a novice in antiques, and he still knows some of the terms in the antique circle.

Meng Zitao said: "Let's put it this way, the genuine Hailao porcelain has been sunk at the bottom of the sea for hundreds of thousands of years, and the shells stained on the body of the vessel are large and small, and there are many kinds of shells: and the shells stained on the fake Hailao porcelain. The sea creatures are almost identical and the same type of parasites. The shellfish on the porcelain in this box look too neat. ”

Zhu Muwei was reminded, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
