Meng Zitao glared at Lao Niu and asked him not to talk nonsense, and then explained to the old man with a smile: "Uncle, do you think, if something is suddenly not picked up in the process of delivery, it is difficult to judge who is responsible, you say yes?"

"That's right. www.biquge.info The old man nodded, and then said to Lao Niu: "Look at how good the young man is, you are still a businessman, you have such a short temper, and you don't know how old you are." ”

The old cow was too lazy to ramble, so he picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip of tea.

Seeing that the old cow didn't speak, the old man also felt bored, so he put the jade pendant on the stall.

Meng Zitao picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, the jade is green and white jade, the jade quality is really not very good, the body is ring-shaped, there is a groove on the inside, the groove is built-in to turn the heart, the center is open-carved double crest, and the double claw embraces a "longevity" word round ball. There is a cloud pattern outside the ring, and a perforation in the middle, which is a typical turning heart in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Although the jade quality of this jade pendant is indeed not very good, but the carving is very exquisite, vigorous, round, elegant, delicate, it is an authentic Yangcheng carving, and it can reach the level of the palace office.

Therefore, although the quality of jade is average, in terms of carving, it is still relatively commendable, and the value of tens of thousands can still be reached, so to put it simply, this jade pendant Lao Niu missed it.

With the result, Meng Zitao felt a little funny, one picked up the leak and wanted to return it, and the other missed others and refused to return it, which is really a rare strange thing.

"Uncle, do you really want to return your jade pendant?" Meng Zitao asked.

The old man nodded heavily: "Of course, you must retreat." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Then can I ask you the reason for your withdrawal?"

The old man said: "When I bought it yesterday, he told me that this piece of jade was very good, at that time I didn't bring a strong flashlight, I couldn't see it clearly, so I asked him if he could guarantee it, he told me to rest assured, this jade pendant must be worth two thousand, if it is not worth it, you can come and return it, now I think this jade pendant is definitely not worth two thousand yuan, of course I have to return it." ”

When Lao Niu heard this, he said angrily: "I don't know how many times I've said it, you can't judge its value by a strong flashlight, it's simply unreasonable for you to return it!"

The old man said angrily: "It is clear that you are a profiteer, and you actually say that I am unreasonable, you want to be shameless! I repeat, return it to me, otherwise I will sue you!"

The old cow and the old man went on top: "Don't even think about it! My words are put here, if I promise to return the goods, I will be the king!"

Meng Zitao felt a little funny in his heart, and said: "Uncle, I also think this jade pendant is worth two thousand yuan, don't you really want it?"

The old man said viciously to Meng Zitao: "You person, I saw that you were quite reasonable just now, but I didn't expect that it was still the same to help relatives and not to help, or that sentence, I must retreat from the jade pendant, I must retreat!"

Meng Zitao was a little speechless, since the old man was like this, he didn't bother to be long-winded, and said: "Uncle, I do think that this jade pendant can be worth two thousand, since you insist on returning it, then sell it to me?"

The old man was very surprised: "You want it?"

"Yes, it's two thousand, you click. Meng Zitao directly took out two thousand yuan and handed it over.

The old man looked at the money in Meng Zitao's hand, and then looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and became a little suspicious in his heart, could it be that this jade pendant is really worth two thousand?

However, after a while, this thought was driven away from his head, because he still felt that Meng Zitao and Lao Niu were in a group, and Meng Zitao did this just because he didn't want to sue Lao Niu.

So, the old man agreed to the deal, counted the money, and gave the jade pendant to Meng Zitao, before leaving, he also said to Lao Niu: "Do business with sincerity, otherwise you can only set up a stall at this time for the rest of your life." ”

"You ......"

The old cow was angry, if it wasn't for Meng Zitao to stop him, he would almost scold, and after the old man left, he scolded again: "Paralyzed, this old immortal, if you get cheap, you sell well." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Okay, why do you have the same knowledge as him?"

The old cow took a deep breath and spit out a long breath: "Made, it's really a bloody mold, and you actually met such a person! According to my meaning, I don't need to pay attention to him at all, I will see where he will sue." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "It's better to have more than one thing, and besides, I didn't suffer." ”

"I didn't eat it, but I ...... Alas...... Lao Niu sighed again: "Forget it, don't talk about it, I'll give you money, and give me the jade pendant." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said, "How much are you going to give me?"

"Of course......" Speaking of this, Lao Niu suddenly had a thought, and said with some surprise: "I can't miss it." ”

Meng Zitao gave the jade pendant to Lao Niu: "Look at it again." ”

Lao Niu studied the jade pendant carefully for a while, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "I really missed it, this should be not inferior to the palace office, right?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "That's right, do you want it?"

Lao Niu said with some embarrassment: "Well, if you want it, you want it, but this jade pendant is worth 10,000 yuan, my money is all on the goods, and I don't have so much cash for the time being." ”

Meng Zitao waved his hand: "The matter of money is not in a hurry, when will you have enough money to give it to me." Then you can give me eight thousand. ”

"That's embarrassing. ”

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to make this money, so it's decided, just introduce me to a few more customers in the future. ”

They are all old friends, and Lao Niu is not hypocritical, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll inquire when I go back." ”

The jade pendant that he missed was back in his hands, and he could still make some money, Lao Niu was in a very happy mood, but he didn't know, because he also encountered some trouble with this jade pendant, and finally involved Meng Zitao. Of course, that's a story for now.

At this time, Meng Zitao noticed that things had been placed on the fixed stall of the originally empty Lao Liu, but the stall owner was not the Lao Liu, which made him a little strange: "Why did Lao Liu's stall change people, he didn't do it?"

Lao Niu said: "It's not that he doesn't do it, it's just that he is now the main runway (broker), and he only comes to set up a stall occasionally." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Yes, with his connections, the runway is not bad, but he doesn't tell me, it's really not interesting." ”

Lao Niu said: "This is not it, he is running around now, basically not idle, a few days ago when he came to set up a stall, he also told me that he had time to invite you to dinner, but you have been outside, and I can't find you." ”

Meng Zitao said: "No way, this time is too busy, I will go to the capital in the evening, and it is estimated that I will not come back in a month." Let's make an appointment and get together then. ”

Lao Niu said: "No problem, I will tell him when I meet the sixth child." ”

Meng Zitao looked at the stall owner who was setting up a stall at the position of the sixth child: "By the way, which one is the stall at the sixth place?

Lao Niu shook his head: "I don't know very well, I only know that it was introduced by the sixth child, I went to see it, he has some goods in his hand, it looks good, but the price is a little expensive, you can also go and see." However, this guy is a bit arrogant and not very good at bargaining, so you pay attention. ”

Meng Zitao looked over there and found that the objects on the stall were mainly porcelain, and the things looked okay, which aroused some interest in him.

"Okay, then I'll go and take a look. ”

"Okay, we'll talk when we get back. ”

"Okay. ”

The stall owner was a young man in his thirties with some curly hair, he was looking at a book in his hand, and when he saw Meng Zitao coming, he just looked up at Meng Zitao for a moment, and his eyes returned to the book in his hand.

Meng Zitao took a look at a porcelain appraisal book in the young man's hand, the author of which was a well-known expert in China.

Meng Zitao didn't care about him, he glanced at the objects on the stall, and was immediately attracted by a pair of porcelain ducks on the stall.

This pair of porcelain ducks is bionic porcelain, bionic porcelain has been there a long time ago, the earliest used in the tomb, is the tomb owner's attachment to the world, but this kind of bionic porcelain is often made simple shape is not exquisite, until the Qianlong period, it is also when Tang Ying was in office, bionic porcelain reached the highest level in the history of ceramics, the most praised is that Tang Ying made bionic porcelain has a very high realism, both expression and posture, lifelike, love.

Porcelain bionic duck appeared very early, in ancient times, the sound of "duck" is similar to "A", so the duck is associated with the "A" of the top three high schools in the imperial examination, "duck" means the first of the imperial examination, and the folk give ducks or crabs to those who go out for the examination, and pray for blessings to obtain the high rank.

This pair of porcelain ducks is recumbent, with their heads raised, their mouths open, their tongues curled, one wing raised, and their tail feathers upturned. The whole body of the duck is decorated with pastel, the wings are plump, the feather texture is layered, the wings and tail are gray, the duck head is correctly structured, the black round eyes, the mouth is slightly open, and the sauce yellow glaze is applied, and the flippers are pale yellow.

The image of this pair of porcelain ducks is vivid and realistic, which shows that the author has super high art skills, much like the porcelain duck that Meng Zitao had seen before.

According to the "Complete Collection of Qing Palace Porcelain Archives", on the first day of April in the sixth year of Qianlong, Tang Ying paid tribute to 6 porcelain ducks. The Qing Dynasty court was popular "no pattern has no meaning", Tang Ying made bionic ducks to pay tribute to the court must have an auspicious meaning, perhaps to bless the emperor with a bright future, and it is not impossible to succeed in his studies.

This kind of porcelain duck is still imitated in the imperial kiln factory in the Daoguang period, but it is not enough to make the smart realism made by Tang Ying in the Qianlong period.

Therefore, although the pair of porcelain ducks in front of him were smart and realistic, Meng Zitao did not think about Tang Ying, however, when he saw the small square chapter of the word "Tao" on the belly of the duck, he couldn't calm down. Because such a small square chapter of the word "Tao" is Tang Ying's knowledge.

And ordinary people don't know Tang Ying's knowledge, because the location of the small square chapter is a little hidden, even if they know, they may not notice it.

Could it be that this pair of porcelain ducks is the genuine product left by Tang Ying?

Meng Zitao was a little excited, he had heard of Tang Ying's name for a long time, but so far not a single Tang Ying porcelain had been encountered in the market, could he have fulfilled his wish this time? )
