Yu Weigang listened to Meng Zitao's words and laughed: "It's expensive, and it has a special face to say it." ”

Meng Zitao said with a strange expression: "I said, the reason why you want to learn this tea ceremony is not for pretending, right?"

Yu Weigang shrugged his shoulders: "Don't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, if you really want to say that, then I might as well learn incense, tens of thousands of yuan of agarwood, burn it for a few days and it will be gone." ”

"Then you have to give it up. ”

Meng Zitao laughed, then pointed to a shop not far away, and said, "I remember that there are tea sets for sale, let's go over and ask." ”

This is a shop that specializes in tea utensils and a small selection of jade utensils, which is not large, but quite tasteful. When Meng Zitao and the others walked into the store, they found that the shopkeeper was already packing up his things and preparing to close.

This is also normal, after all, it is already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and it is not a holiday, and some shops are not open at all.

When the shopkeeper saw Meng Zitao and them, he said with a smile: "How many people, I don't know what to order?"

Meng Zitao said: "We want a set of tea and tea sets, we only need to make zuò now, I don't know if the shopkeeper has it?"

The shopkeeper smiled: "You guys are really right, I just have two sets of tea sets, you can sit down first, and I will show you." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you. ”

Meng Zitao sat down and looked around, just as his gaze shifted from the tea set to the Bogu shelf next to the jade, his heart suddenly "chuckled", as if a voice was reminding him that something in his sight was very important to him.

"I'll take a look. ”

Meng Zitao walked around and walked towards the Bogu frame, only then did he notice that it was a jade plaque.

This jade brand jade is delicate, the jade is white, a few knives, depicting a landscape map, and an ancient poem is engraved on the back, "I have ten thousand ancient houses, Songyang Jade Girl Peak." Stay for a long month and hang on the Dongxi pine. Go to the fairy grass, calamus flowers purple mushroom. New Year's Eve or visit, the blue sky rides the white dragon. ”

Judging from the surface pulp and other aspects, this jade plaque should be made in the late Qing Dynasty.

"What kind of poem is this?"

Meng Zitao felt that this ancient poem was very familiar, and he racked his brains before recalling: "By the way, this is Li Bai's "Sending Yangshan People to Songshan", etc., and so ......on."

Meng Zitao's mind suddenly flashed, is the Yang Mountain here the same hint that was not used in the previous treasure clues, "Yang Mountain"?

Thinking of the hint given to him by the sixth sense, the more Meng Zitao thought about it, the more he felt that there was this possibility.However, the title of the poem is actually not about Yang Mountain, but about Yang Shan, referring to the hermit surnamed Yang.

"Yang Mountain and Song Mountain, this span is too big, right?" Meng Zitao was puzzled by this, thinking that even if he thought so, there must be other clues in it, otherwise the jump would be too big.

Of course, no matter what, this jade plaque will definitely have to be bought.

At this time, Yu Weigang shouted: "Zitao, come and help me take a look at these two sets of tea sets." ”

Meng Zitao walked back with the jade plate, and the shopkeeper first introduced to him the characteristics of two sets of tea sets, one of which is ordinary and suitable for newcomers, and the other is more high-end, of course, the price is not cheap.

What Meng Zitao meant was to buy an ordinary one first, and in case Yu Weigang was not interested in it, there would not be much to lose.

However, Yu Weigang repeatedly emphasized that he really likes the art of ordering tea, and if the price of two sets of tea sets is not expensive, he is ready to buy them all.

The shopkeeper was also very happy when he heard that Yu Weigang was going to buy them all, and finally the two bargained and sold it for 20,000 yuan.

Next, Meng Zitao discussed with the shopkeeper and bought the jade plate at a price of 5,000 yuan.

"Hey, do you think I want to buy a purple clay pot?" While the shopkeeper was packing, Yu Weigang asked in a low voice.

Meng Zitao asked a little strangely, "Why did you think of buying a purple clay pot again?"

"Hey, don't you want to be elegant. Yu Weigang smiled, and then said: "Anyway, the purple clay pot, with the current market, it shouldn't depreciate, right?"

"It has to be a famous purple clay pot, otherwise it won't be worth anything. ”

Yu Weigang said: "Then buy a famous one, I just put it in the office, and it doesn't need to be too good." ”

Speaking of this, he asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, do you have a more cost-effective purple clay pot here?"

Meng Zitao was a little speechless when he heard this, how could he ask such a question.

The shopkeeper also laughed and said, "You want to buy a purple clay pot that is not very famous, but has good workmanship, right?"

Yu Weigang nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I don't know if you have anything to recommend?"

If you want to say, just like Yu Weigang said, people in the industry know at a glance that it is the seller's favorite mallet, if it is someone else, it must be shoddy, or a high price.

However, this shopkeeper is quite regular in doing business, and the basic price he gives is the real price, of course, it may also have something to do with Meng Zitao's presence.

The shopkeeper took out a purple clay pot from under the counter and put it on the table, and introduced: "This is a Hanbian pot made by Cheng Shouzhen, which should meet your requirements." ”

Han Bian pot type is the Qing Dynasty Xianfeng, Tongzhi period Wanquan creation, is by the influence of the Mansheng pot style after the derivation, and then Cheng Shouzhen according to the experience of the predecessors repeatedly created, refined and created their own unique classic shape Han Bian pot, and he created the ball, antique constitute a representative "Shouzhen three styles".

This pot is the Han flat type, the body of the pot is flat and round, the ampulla is round and gradually closed at the bottom, the shoulder line is rounded, and the mouth and shoulder are smooth and oblique. The slightly bulging flat lid, the edge of the lid is an anti-arc, the shape of the pot button is similar to the body of the pot, the tension of the circle is open outward, the flow of the side shoulder of the spout and the flow line formed by the pot are interconnected, smooth and powerful, the point, the line, the surface are harmonious, and the rigidity and softness are combined.

The shoulder of the pot is decorated with decorative inscriptions, and the lid, handle and bottom of the pot are all engraved with inscriptions, which Meng Zitao observed, which should be the genuine product made by Cheng Shouzhen.

Speaking of which, Cheng Shouzhen is also a more famous pot maker in modern times, his works are rough and charming, and his skills are skillful, but it may be because of the prolific relationship of his life, so the price of his works is not very high, of course, the price is also related to the quality of the works.

As soon as he saw Meng Zitao, he signaled that he could buy it, so he bargained with the shopkeeper, and the price was not high, and finally it was sold for 18,000.

Walking out of the store, Meng Zitao smiled and asked, "What else do you want to buy today?"

"No, I'm not as rich as you, and my wife knows about my expenses today, so you have to scold me. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Weigang turned around and said to Lao Song next to him: "Lao Song, don't tell the truth about today's matter!"

Lao Song was speechless and said, "In your eyes, am I the villain who specializes in snitching?"

"Just kidding. Yu Weigang smiled, and then squeezed his eyebrows at Meng Zitao and said, "I said Zitao, did you miss the jade plate just now?"

"What kind of leak?" Meng Zitao was a little surprised.

Lao Song hooked his shoulders and said: "Hey, you are still hiding it from me, if it weren't for the leak, with your net worth, you would buy a jade plate for thousands of yuan?"

Meng Zitao couldn't laugh or cry: "I think it's the right eye, so I bought it." Besides, if I buy a jade card for a few thousand dollars to play with, it's nothing, right?"

"Didn't you miss it?"

"Of course I didn't miss it, this year is not ten years ago, how can there be so many leaks to pick up?"

Meng Zitao spread his hands and said in his heart: "It seems that you can't talk too much about this missed matter, you can't always talk about luck, right? It's okay to say about the people you know, and you will definitely think more about the people you don't know." In the future, you can still hide it as much as possible. ”

"It may be strange for others to pick up leaks, but it's not strange for you to pick up leaks. Yu Weigang smiled.

Meng Zitao smiled and shook his head: "I still want to say that you missed it." ”

"I missed it?" Yu Weigang was stunned and said in surprise: "What did you buy just now?"

"The purple clay pot. Meng Zitao said.

"What do you say?" Yu Weigang hurriedly asked.

Meng Zitao said: "Your purple clay pot should be worth about 30,000 yuan." ”

Yu Weigang was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"

Meng Zitao said: "Nonsense, can I still lie to you about this? Don't take it out now, it's inconvenient, let's find a place to talk about it." ”

Yu Weigang couldn't wait to say: "Let's go......"

The three of them came to a restaurant not far away and asked for a private room, and Yu Weigang took out the purple clay pot.

Meng Zitao said: "To distinguish the quality of the purple clay pot, we mainly look at six aspects, namely mud, shape, work, fire, use, and pattern. ”

"Mud, refers to the fetal quality of the purple clay pot. Purple sand mud is fine, coarse, excellent and inferior. The purple clay pot made of high-quality purple sand mud is warm and moist in color, elegant and simple. Such a purple clay pot, as long as it is used correctly, can quickly develop a pearl-like luster. ”

Hearing this, Yu Weigang stared at his purple sand pot and said: "The color of my pot is indeed as you said, the color is warm, elegant and simple, and the luster is also good, is it made of good purple sand mud?"

"Yes, it should be made of fine mud, and it is well maintained, both of which add a lot of points to the whole pot. ”

Meng Zitao continued: "Let's go on to say that the shape refers to the shape of the purple clay pot. To evaluate the artwork of the purple clay pot from the perspective of the shape, it is necessary to consider the originality, cultural content, and artistic communication techniques of the shape, and require the use of the purple clay pot to be unified in terms of function and artistic modeling, so as to achieve a perfect combination. ”

"Work, refers to the quality of the workmanship of the purple sand pot, each part of the purple sand pot must be completed by the combination of points, lines and surfaces, including the pot type, the lid, the spout, the handle, the bottom foot, the knob, etc. ”

"According to the requirements of purple sand artists for pot making, the point should be round when it is round, the square should be square, the line should be straight when it should be straight, it should be bent when it should be bent, the surface should be light when it should be light, and it should be rough when it should be rough. For example, the spout and handle should be in a straight line, etc., which are all requirements of 'work'......" (To be continued. )
