Chapter 472: A Special Plum Bottle

"Let me ask you, if you were to change it, would you be involved in the family affairs of the person you just met?" Cui Dingdian said with some annoyance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Surely not. "The bodyguard immediately became a grandson, no way, who called Cui Dingdian is his boss and is right.

"Hmph!" Cui Dingdian snorted coldly, and said lightly: "Although I haven't been able to go further with Meng Zitao, but our mission here is also completed, I want to see how Cui Bingmao solves this piece of graphite!"

The words were divided into two ends, and after Cui Dingdian and they left, Meng Zitao also packed his things and prepared to go home.

Meng Zitao felt that he often ran out for three days, plus his parents didn't want to go to the villa to live, and when he got married, he might spend less time together than now, so he would not live in the villa if he was generally fine.

Today is the same, Meng Zitao returned home and found that his parents had also returned.

This made Meng Zitao a little surprised, and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?"

Meng Shuliang said: "The store is not very busy today, so your mother and I decided to close the store early and come back to rest." ”

When Meng Zitao heard his father say this, he became nervous: "Dad, you won't be unwell, right?"

Xu Ping laughed: "You kid, can't we rest yet?"

Meng Shuliang took over and said: "You can put a hundred hearts, since we often eat pearl powder, we are in very good health, even if I didn't feel so good before I got sick." ”

Meng Zitao looked at his parents' complexions, and it really didn't look like they were sick, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's good, but I think it's okay, you really don't have to stay in the store all the time, with my current earning ability, I can fully support you, if you feel too idle, you can simply travel." ”

At this time, Xu Ping suddenly asked, "Xiao Tao, did we open a store, did it bother you?"

"No, why do you suddenly ask that?"

Meng Zitao was a little strange at first, but immediately thought of a possibility: "Did you hear someone chewing the root of the tongue?"

The family didn't have anything to say, Meng Shuliang sighed: "There are a few gossipy old ladies in our community, saying that you have made a lot of money, and I am not in good health, and let us open a store." I can't just be idle, what's wrong with opening a shop, eating their family food, hindering their family affairs!"

At the end of the day, he looked a little resentful.

Xu Ping said: "Okay, they are jealous, what do you care about them." ”

Meng Shuliang said angrily: "I just see that they are uncomfortable, they are incapable, and they are dedicated to the Li family, especially that Wang Qiuju, who is not good at his own son, and has the face to talk about others, what a joke!"

Meng Zitao also knew that Wang Qiuju, her son was addicted to gambling and had lost millions of dollars, and now he still owed a lot of debts outside, and he didn't know that he was dead when he hid outside, in order to repay the debt, Wang Qiuju almost sold the house, or his husband didn't sell it without consent.

To say, Wang Jinju is indeed quite pitiful, but such a person likes to speak ill of others, and he is arrogant when he says it, at this time, her son often becomes a transparent person. To use an old saying, the poor must have something to hate.

However, Meng Zitao can't do anything about this kind of person, facing an old lady in her fifties, she doesn't necessarily have to be beaten and scolded, right?

However, today's incident Meng Zitao felt that it was also an opportunity, he originally wanted to let his parents rest, but he couldn't resist them, so he took advantage of today's opportunity to close the fruit shop. If you are bored, you can raise some flowers and plants, or small animals, etc., and go on a trip every once in a while to enjoy the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

Meng Zitao persuaded: "Dad, what kind of anger do you have with this kind of person, it's not worth it to be angry and your body is bad, just like Mom said, they are just jealous that I can make money, what is the relationship between us, who is familiar with it? ”

"I can't stay at home. Meng Shuliang shook his head, Xu Ping also meant the same.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "It's simple, I'll plan it for you, you can go out to exercise in the morning, so that you can meet a lot of elderly friends, and then go home to cook, take a lunch break at noon, you can go to the Internet in the afternoon, you can watch TV after dinner, and go to bed at ten o'clock in the evening, so that the day will pass." ”

"In addition, you can cultivate your own hobbies, such as planting flowers and plants, raising small animals, these two aspects are also very laborious, and it takes a lot of time to do well, and when I see it, you will still feel that there is not enough time, what do you think?"

The couple glanced at each other, and Meng Shuliang said, "Let's think about it again." ”

When Meng Zitao heard his father's reply, his heart became happy, it seemed that his parents were moved, and it was estimated that this thing could be done.

Next, Xu Ping went to make dinner, and the father and son chatted in the living room for a while.

After dinner, Meng Zitao returned to his room, turned on the computer and surfed the Internet, he first browsed the antique forum, and then browsed a domestic antique trading website for a while.

This website has a good reputation, but the antiques sold online, in addition to looking at the credibility of the seller, the most important thing is to rely on their own eyesight, after all, just a few photos, not much information is given, even if it is a master, in case of distortion of the photo, it is easy to miss.

Previously, Meng Zitao felt that his eyesight was high, and he bought three antiques on it, two porcelain and one jade. As a result, one of the two pieces of porcelain was a high imitation, and the other was a bottom porcelain, and the jade he bought according to Khotanese jade, but it turned out to be Russian jade.

Since then, Meng Zitao has basically only watched and not bought, fortunately, things are not expensive, and because he is often not at home, he wrote the recipient of the express delivery into his father's name, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing to be known.

Originally, Meng Zitao only planned to see it today, however, when he turned to a piece of porcelain that was being auctioned, he was fascinated.

I saw that the picture showed a blue and white plum vase, but the shape of this plum vase was not the same as the plum vase he had seen before, its bottle mouth was slightly outward, the bottle shoulder was extremely full, and the lower part of the bottle gradually closed, looking like a plump upper end, and the lower end of the beauty was constricted, which was very distinctive.

In addition, the shoulder of this bottle is decorated with a ruyi cloud head pattern, each of which is decorated with a branch of flowers, and the abdomen is decorated with blue and white "four love pictures", namely Wang Xi's love goose, Tao Yuan's love for chrysanthemum, Zhou Dunyi's love for Lian, and Lin Hejing's love for plum cranes, depicting the leisurely demeanor and otherworldly sentiments of ancient celebrities.

This theme has been passed down since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty and is one of the most classic blue and white porcelain ornaments of the past dynasties. The painted characters have both form and spirit, the clothing pattern is chic and natural with the brush, the scenery and the theme are combined, and the four groups of picture scenes are blended.

The painting also looks very exquisite, and the porcelain in the photo looks very dense, and with the characteristics of the pulp, it looks like the real thing.

Meng Zitao became interested, first looked at the seller's reputation, and found that it was a new seller, and the number of transactions was very low, which made him hesitate somewhat, but immediately he still believed his judgment and paid the deposit to start bidding.

As soon as he filmed it once, Meng Zitao was stunned, because the thing was actually withdrawn, which made him a little puzzled.

Because like participating in the auction, the auction of items also has to pay a deposit, and if the auction is withdrawn at will, not only the deposit is gone, but also points will be deducted, as long as the cumulative deduction of points three times a year, it will affect the reputation of the store, and at the same time, the auction will have to pay more deposits. (Fictional)

So, unless there is no way, no seller will do this.

It is very likely that after listening to someone's suggestion, knowing the value of this plum vase, he felt that it was not cost-effective to auction it online, so he withdrew it. Although this will deduct points and confiscate the deposit, it will definitely be more cost-effective to withdraw than the loss of the genuine product being auctioned off.

Some people think that it is a bit silly to do this, and that if you just shoot it at a fixed price, you will not get it? If you avoid deducting points, you may not lose much money. But the reason is this, if someone thinks that something is in the eye, it will also be auctioned at a fixed price, you know, a fixed price will only show success if you pay for it.

To get back to the point, Meng Zitao fell in love with this plum bottle at first sight, and now that he has withdrawn it, his heart is like a cat scratching, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

"No, we have to find a way to get that plum vase. ”

I think so, but now it's an online auction, Meng Zitao doesn't know the address of the store at all, and he doesn't know the phone number of the store, these are only available on the website, but he can't ask the website to ask for it, right?

Meng Zitao thought about it, first clicked on the store's online store, and after some searching, the plum bottle did not appear again. In addition, the contact method was found, but when I called, it was turned off.

Meng Zitao was very speechless with his mobile phone, indeed, the webpage said that the contact time was from 9.30 am to 5.30 pm, but you wouldn't turn off your mobile phone.

Meng Zitao is a little out of line, the key, this website is a little bad, if you want to send a message to the store, you must add friends, you have to say leave a message, now there is no lot, you can only leave a message in the store, but some stores do not have the habit of reading messages in the store, and it may have been several days later when they noticed.

There's no way, it seems that I can only wait until tomorrow after the other party goes to work.

Meng Zitao put down his mobile phone with some regret, at this time, he suddenly had an idea, and hurriedly used the name of the store to search on the Internet, and he really found the other party's phone number in this search.

It turned out that this person had just opened an online store, and in order to promote himself, he left his contact information on several antique forums.

This person left two numbers, one was not through just now, and Meng Zitao hurriedly dialed the other number.

The phone didn't ring a few times, and the owner answered the phone, and a Lu provincial accent came over: "May I ask who it is?"

"May I ask you are the owner of the xx network xx store?" Meng Zitao asked.

"Yes, what's the matter?" said the businessman politely.

Meng Zitao said: "I just took a picture of your plum bottle, why did you withdraw it after a while?"

The other party first said sorry, and then said: "To tell you the truth, my friend just looked at the plum bottle and said that the reserve price I offered was too cheap, and the thing was not suitable for online sales, so I must not sell it easily, so I withdrew." ”

Meng Zitao saw that it was really the same as he thought, and he felt a little emotional, if he had been faster and had directly auctioned things at a price, there would have been no such thing. Since the price is not expensive, even if there is a problem with the thing, he will not lose much.

But after thinking about it again, Meng Zitao felt that he was thinking too much, this is an online transaction, not that the other party will definitely deliver the goods after paying the money, and the other party will regret it if he thinks it is inappropriate.

So, Meng Zitao asked again: "Do you still have the idea of making a move on that plum bottle?"

"Of course, as long as the price is right. ”

"I don't know where you are right now, but I'd like to see it in person if it's convenient. ”

"Yes, it's better to trade in person, I'm from Quancheng, and now I have an antique shop in Quancheng. ”

"What a coincidence. ”

Meng Zitao was happy in his heart, He Xinghuai is a native of Quancheng, and if he goes to Quancheng by himself, he may be able to play in Quancheng with a family of three.

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Okay, I'll leave for Quancheng tomorrow, please tell me the specific address." ”

"Okay......

The other party reported the address, made an appointment, and Meng Zitao hung up the phone.

Early the next morning, Meng Zitao and the army took a train to Quancheng, and the time to arrive at Quancheng was almost eleven o'clock.

Quancheng is a beautiful city, there are many springs, so it is named, known as "lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city lake".

It's just that due to the tight time, Meng Zitao has no plans to visit for the time being, and is ready to finish the business first.

The two of them had a light meal, and then went to the antique shop according to the address given yesterday.

The location of the antique shop is a bit remote, and in addition, it is also some distance from the nearby antique market, and Meng Zitao estimates that not many people will come here. As you can imagine, how is the business here?

Sure enough, when he walked to the door of the store, Meng Zitao noticed that the store was deserted, although it was related to the fact that it was noon at this time, but the geographical location itself also accounted for a large part of the factors.

Of course, in the antique industry, as long as you have good things in hand, the location of the store is not good, and you can make a big business, but judging from the placement of this store, you know that the probability of having good things is not high.

I saw the whole store, there was a counter at the door, and further on, there were a few Bogu shelves on the left, and some messy porcelain piled up on the right, which looked like a small garbage mountain, which made people not interested in going in and taking a look.

Meng Zitao shook his head secretly, and then walked into the store, looked at the counter on the left, and saw a young man about thirty years old sitting behind the counter eating a boxed lunch, his eyes staring at the computer screen on the table, one hand pressing the mouse.

Noticing that someone was coming in, the young man raised his head and saw that Meng Zitao was dressed more elegantly, so he hurriedly changed his smiling face: "Sir, what is the need?"

Meng Zitao replied: "Are you the shopkeeper of Ling? My surname is Meng, and I contacted you on the phone last night. ”

Ling Yin Yun immediately reacted: "Hello Mr. Meng, I didn't expect you to come so soon, please wait a while, I'll clean up first." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "No, you can eat first, I can take a look at your store's things first." ”

"Okay, let's see first. Ling Yin Yun smiled and made a gesture.

Meng Zitao first browsed the artifacts on the Bogu shelf, and found that they were basically relatively ordinary objects, and there was nothing he was interested in.

As for the pile of rags next to him, Meng Zitao actually didn't have much interest, but the rags can't be underestimated, many treasures are actually picked out of the rags, and Meng Zitao didn't give up, of course, he must not be happy to rummage through them one by one, and he directly used his ability.

"Huh?"

Meng Zitao sighed lightly in his heart, pretended to rummage for a while, and then took out a blue and white plate from it.

This is a blue and white plate missing a large piece of meat, but you can still see the ornamentation, the inner edge of the plate is decorated with entwined chrysanthemum patterns, and the inner wall is painted with entwined branch peonies, pomegranates, chrysanthemums, camellias and other floral patterns. The center of the plate is the folded branch lotus pattern, there are four wishful clouds outside the shape of the open light, its interior has the broken branch chrysanthemum pattern, the open light is painted with the entangled branch honeysuckle pattern, although the ornament is multi-layered, but the flower shape is different, the reflection is exquisite.

This blue and white plate, from the point of view of ornamentation, is similar to the decoration style of the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, but the use of green materials, and workmanship, compared with the genuine products of the Hongwu period, is obviously a grade worse.

However, Meng Zitao could see that this blue and white porcelain was old, and the ability also gave the same result, he thought about it for a while, and had an answer in his heart, not surprisingly, this should be the blue and white porcelain of the Li Dynasty.

The Korean Peninsula is adjacent to China, and since the Han and Tang dynasties, it has been connected with China through sea and land transportation and introduced Chinese culture. During the Song and Yuan dynasties, the exchanges between China and North Korea were more extensive and deeper, and China's porcelain-making technology was first introduced to North Korea. The production and development of North Korean ceramics are deeply influenced by China's ceramic firing technology.

The so-called Yi Dynasty refers to the Yi Dynasty of Joseon. According to the documents found so far, the appearance of Korean blue and white should be no later than the early Yi Dynasty in the mid-fifteenth century. According to historical records, in the third year of Xuande (1428), the envoy of the Ming Dynasty Yin Feng presented blue and white porcelain to Sejong (reigned 1418-1450), and the blue and white porcelain became the porcelain used by the court of the Li Dynasty and was imitated.

The blue and white materials originally used in the Li Dynasty were imported from China, and the quantity of the products was scarce because of the high price of the green materials.

The production process of blue and white porcelain in the early Li Dynasty mostly imitated the blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty in China, for example, according to the "Words of the Zhai Cong": "The white porcelain dedicated to the imperial ware of the Sejong Dynasty was painted with miscellaneous colors in the Shizu Dynasty, seeking to return to the green in China, painting bottles, cups, and buds, which are no different from China." ”

Not surprisingly, the missing blue and white plate in Meng Zitao's hand is the early blue and white porcelain of the Li Dynasty, so it shows that the decoration is similar to Hongwu blue and white, but it is worse than Hongwu blue and white in all aspects.

Although this blue and white plate is missing, and there are many of them, there are relatively few early blue and white works of the Li Dynasty, and even fewer have been handed down to the world, so it is also valuable (to be continued. )
