Chapter 265: Finding a Problem
Before Meng Zitao could agree, Shu Ze opened his mouth and asked, "Shopkeeper Li, why didn't your friend come with you?"
Meng Zitao immediately reacted, if the other party was really sincere, he should be present in person, like now, only through Guò Li Jingfu to pass the word, is it too much to look down on them?
Li Jingfu immediately waved his hand and said, "The main thing is that he has something urgent and left before noon, but now he has taken the blue and white folded branch Ruiguo plum vase I said just now, and on the way back, it is estimated that it will be there in a while." ”
Meng Zitao and Shu Ze glanced at each other, then nodded and said, "Then let's take a look first." ”
Li Jingfu was very happy, and after expressing his gratitude on behalf of his friend, he called his friend to inform him.
After a while, Li Jingfu told everyone that in more than twenty minutes, his friends would come over, and since this was the case, everyone was too lazy to toss and waited here.
More than 20 minutes later, a middle-aged man with a public face and a young woman who looked like a secretary walked into the private room together.
The middle-aged man is Li Jingfu's friend, named Song Shuyao, after coming in, he has been very enthusiastic, and he has been saying sorry and sorry.
Despite this, Song Shuyao's attitude to give Meng Zitao the feeling that it is a little too much, things in the world are like this, once it is too much, it seems a little fake. Therefore, he did not feel very good about Meng Zitao.
After a while, Song Shuyao smiled and said, "Teacher Meng, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity." To be honest, I don't want to bother you so much, but it's just that it's a matter of what I've wanted for years. ”
Speaking of this, his smile was put away: "To tell you the truth, my grandfather used to have a similar hexagonal bottle. The size is similar to Mr. Meng's, but the decoration is different. I was young and ignorant, and I was naughty, and once I saw my grandfather admiring the hexagonal bottle, so I played a prank and made trouble, and I accidentally broke the bottle. ”
"My grandfather didn't reprimand me much. But I could still feel that he was very distressed, and from that moment on, I vowed to find an identical hexagonal bottle for my grandfather. Now that my grandfather has passed away, I still haven't fulfilled this wish, and I feel very guilty about my grandfather, so I can only bother Mr. Meng with a thick scalp, I hope you can make it convenient. ”
Meng Zitao smiled and said: "As the old saying goes, it is convenient to be with others and convenient with yourself." ”
Song Shuyao smiled and arched his hand to Meng Zitao. asked the secretary to open the brocade box she brought, and took out a blue and white folded branch Ruiguo plum vase from it.
I saw that this bottle has a short neck and round lips, plump shoulders, and a gradual lower abdomen. The bottle body is blue and white painted with longevity peach, pomegranate, hawthorn, lychee, loquat, cherry six groups of folded branches and fruit patterns, the sketch is elegant, the flowers are full, and the branches and leaves are dense. The shoulders and feet are painted with lotus and leaf patterns.
Before Meng Zitao could take a closer look, he saw that Song Shuyao had opened another box. From it came out another blue and white jar.
"I know, in terms of value. My plum vase may be worse than the hexagonal vase, so I also brought this Jiajing blue and white Fulu Shou jar, if Mr. Meng agrees, this one can also be taken together. ”
Meng Zitao nodded with a smile, said hello, and first took a closer look at the plum bottle. Next to the Shuze. Then pick up the blue and white jar and look at it carefully.
Yongle blue and white is famous for its fetus, fine glaze, strong blue color, diverse shapes and beautiful ornamentation, and Xuande blue and white together with known as creating the golden age of blue and white porcelain in China.
The quality of porcelain in the early and late Yongle Dynasty has changed greatly, and the early Yongle products are basically close to the late Hongwu Dynasty. The later products are connected with the early Xuande period. This plum vase should belong to the latter.
The shape of the plum bottle is in line with the characteristics of the Yongle period, the bottom is an extremely white fine sand bottom, and Meng Zitao has a very delicate feeling like glutinous rice flour when he touches it with his hands.
The bottom of the plum bottle is flat, and the bottom glaze is wavy. The glaze at the bottom of the vessel is particularly obvious in aqua green. The glaze of blue and white ware is fat and bright, most of the glaze color is blue, some of the blue and white have the phenomenon of fainting, and the blue and white have iron spots, which is a typical Su Ma Liqing material, and the painted part has different shades of brushstrokes.
In this way, no matter from the modeling, tire glaze, green material, etc., Meng Zitao did not see any problems, it should be a genuine product.
Of course, this plum vase is quite precious, and Meng Zitao was somewhat unconfident in his own judgment, so he used his ability again.
Meng Zitao put the plum bottle back on the table, and saw Shu Ze looking at him, and seeing Shu Ze nodding at him, he also nodded and picked up the big blue and white jar.
Song Shuyao looked at him with a smile on his face, his face full of confidence, as if to say that he was confident that Meng Zitao would agree to his request.
Meng Zitao carefully observed the utensils in his hands, this vessel shape is thick, the outer wall is depicted with blue and white pine, bamboo, plum and cold three friends, the hair color is gorgeous, the image is vivid and realistic, their torsos are coiled and wound into the pine "longevity", bamboo "Fu" and plum "Lu" three words, which can be described as ingenuity and uniqueness.
Judging by Mencius's experience, it should be a fine work of Jiajing official kiln, but when he looked at the six-character two-line blue and white regular script written at the bottom of the big jar, a trace of inexplicable color flashed in his eyes.
Because Meng Zitao lowered his head, everyone didn't notice the different color in his eyes, and when Meng Zitao raised his head again, Song Shuyao was not so calm, and asked, "Teacher Meng, do you think these two things are still satisfied?"
Meng Zitao looked a little hesitant, and he said embarrassedly: "Boss Song, I can't promise you now." ”
Meng Zitao's answer surprised everyone, but they didn't think that Meng Zitao would think that there was something wrong with things, because these two things, in everyone's eyes, can be seen at a glance to be genuine, and there must be no fake.
Since this is the case, everyone thinks that this is Meng Zitao who wants to sell at a price.
Of course, for Shu Ze, who knew Mencius Tao, this thought was fleeting, and he felt that the possibility of Mencius Tao doing this was basically very small, so why would Mencius refuse it? The answer is about to come out, these two things or one of them have problems, and the most likely problem is the plum bottle.
This couldn't help but make Shu Ze a little surprised, because he had carefully observed these two things, and judging from his experience, there was no problem at all. What's more, there are two genuine products of the same era in his house, and after careful recall and comparison, he also found no problems.
In that case, what would it be?
On the other side, Song Shuyao said with a smile: "Teacher Meng, do you think there is still some asymmetry in terms of value? No matter whether you want money or things, there is no problem on my side." ”
Meng Zitao waved his hand: "I just have some doubts in my heart. ”
When Song Shuyao heard this, the smile on his face froze, and after half a sound, he said, "You don't think there is something wrong with these two things, do you?"
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Boss Song, don't get me wrong, I didn't say that they are fakes, but there are a few small problems. ”
Song Shu wanted to say: "I want to hear it in detail." ”
Meng Zitao was also very simple, pointed out a few problems on the plum bottle one by one, and said: "These are indeed minor problems, and they may be formed during the firing process, but the transaction between us is relatively large, and I have to be cautious, so I hope you can understand." ”
After listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, Li Jingfu next to him muttered a little in his heart, because he felt that Meng Zitao was looking for trouble, and the few problems pointed out were actually not problems, but then again, this transaction is indeed related to tens of millions, think about it from another perspective, if it is him, when he encounters these suspicious points, it is also impossible to agree lightly.
Since Meng Zitao clearly pointed out the problem, Song Shuyao had nothing to do, and said, "Then Mr. Meng, how do you think this matter should be solved?"
Meng Zitao said: "This matter, I think it is best to bring things to my master and ask his old man to help take a look, if he says that there is no problem with the things, then I will definitely have no problem." ”
Speaking of this, he noticed Song Shuyao's unhappy look, and said with a smile: "Of course, I also know that the road is far away, and it is somewhat inconvenient to get our Ling City, otherwise take a photo of my master and let him look at it on the computer first, if he says it's okay, then I will also agree, what do you think?"
The method that Meng Zitao said was relatively simple and easy to operate, unless Song Shu didn't want to trade, he was unlikely to disagree.
The answer that Song Shu wanted to give was the same as Meng Zitao expected, agreeing.
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Li, I'm going to trouble you this time, I need to borrow a better SLR camera." ”
Li Jingfu said that there was no problem, and immediately went out to find the camera.
Meng Zitao and Song Shu wanted to chat for a few words, so they used the excuse of going to the bathroom to call the master, and directly told the results of their guesses, asking the master to act quickly.
Zheng Anzhi believed in Meng Zitao's judgment, and hung up the phone without asking much and began to arrange.
Meng Zitao returned to the private room, Li Jingfu also came back, and with him came a videographer with a camera of tens of thousands of yuan.
Taking pictures from all angles, Meng Zitao checked that there was no problem, and then packed the photos and passed them to Zheng Anzhi through the guò network communication tool.
Zheng Anzhi is still competent for the simple operation of the computer, and after a while, he called and gave his opinion, there is indeed a problem with the plum bottle, and pointed out where the problem is.
What made Meng Zitao a little embarrassed was that the problematic places pointed out by Zheng Anzhi were only consistent with the places he had just pointed out, and he didn't see anything else.
Unlike Meng Zitao's embarrassment, Song Shuyao seemed a little embarrassed, apologized to Meng Zitao one after another, and then packed up his things and said goodbye and went back. (To be continued.) )
