Chapter 203: Something Hidden?
The so-called "accumulation of beads and gathering balls", in which "accumulation of beads" refers to the fine bubbles in the glaze in the kiln, like small water droplets, which are all over the inner and outer walls of the utensils or the inner and outer bodies.
In addition, the bubbles in the glaze of the real kiln also have a kind of "polyball" that is slightly larger than the "beads".
The ball is larger than the bead, that is to say, there are two kinds of bubbles of different sizes in the kiln, and their arrangement form is not intermittent, but more neatly arranged together.
The number of bubbles in the form of a ball is much smaller than that of a bead, and it is generally arranged in a circle on the inner wall of the utensil, like a very thick ring.
The fish ear stove in front of him presents this amazing phenomenon, and the "accumulation of beads and balls" is very natural, without the stiff feeling of imitation, which makes Meng Zitao breathtaking.
After carefully appreciating the whole vessel, Meng Zitao also found that there were six circular burn marks in the outer bottom of the fish ear furnace and five burn marks in the inner bottom, which was also in line with the firing process at that time.
At this time, Bao Xiaoshan, who was standing next to him, saw the obsession on Meng Zitao's face, and his mood was undoubtedly very complicated, with different emotions such as chagrin, remorse, and jealousy.
For a moment, the crazy thought that even if he couldn't get it, he would have to drop things.
It's just that he is still sensible, and he knows that if he does this, what awaits him in the end will inevitably be a catastrophe. Moreover, the army has been staring at him fiercely, and even if he puts it into action, he will not succeed in the end.
After a while, Meng Zitao's gaze was a little reluctant to move away from the fish ear stove, he looked at Bao Xiaoshan, who looked bitter and hateful next to him, and asked, "Do you regret it now?"
Bao Xiaoshan smiled bitterly: "Except for regret or regret! However, as I said before, even if I stay, I won't find out." And things have come to this point, even regret will not solve anything. ”
Meng Zitao smiled: "Okay, the mentality is good, please help me get a brocade box, if there is one, an ordinary box can also be used." ”
"Good mentality, ghost!" Bao Xiaoshan roared inwardly. I wanted to refuse Meng Zitao directly, but in the end he endured it, went to the room and got a slightly larger box, and also brought back some cloth and sponge.
Putting on a cloth and a sponge, Meng Zitao carefully put the fish ear stove into the box, and then prepared to leave, and when he walked to the door, he turned to Bao Xiaoshan. He said with a smile: "I will call you another million in a while, and I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Bao Xiaoshan to say anything, and left without looking back.
"Phew, that thing is worth 10 million, you only give me 1 million, and you have to be shameless!"
After Meng Zitao left, Bao Xiaoshan couldn't help but scold, but. After a moment, he sighed again. He said to himself: "Who told me not to be angry? It's not bad to have a million, at least this guy's heart is not so black, he eats meat, and he knows to give me some soup!"
Speaking of this, Bao Xiaoshan looked around and said with emotion: "This home can't stay." Let's go today!But do you want to contact the surname Meng again in the future?...... If he doesn't transfer it today, then don't contact ......"
The words were divided into two ends, Meng Zitao and the army went out together, and the army said with some shame: "Meng Shao, I'm really sorry today!"
Meng Zitao waved his hand: "As long as it's a person." Besides, in that case, if you hadn't just walked over to check it, who would have found out about the surveillance? Actually, what I'm more worried about is whether you will leak the secret if you just told your own troops. ”
Dajun said: "What I said is just a code name, and those who understand it will naturally understand, and they will not leak secrets." ”
"That's good. ”
Meng Zitao was relieved when he heard this, and then asked, "What do you think of Bao Xiaoshan?"
Dajun thought for a moment and said, "As it stands, his personality is normal, but that's where the weird thing becomes. Have you noticed that his house is very tidy, and from this point of view, he doesn't look like a bad gambler at all? And, if it's really a bad gambler, how could he think of buying a house?"
Meng Zitao nodded and said: "This is also what I think is strange, do you think it is because of what happened to you, you deliberately use this method to cover people's eyes?"
"It's possible. The army nodded.
Meng Zitao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's useless to think about this matter, let's go to the bank and transfer the account first." ”
Meng Zitao proposed to give Bao Xiaoshan another 1 million, of course, it was not a big kindness, but just for future cooperation. After all, he still has clues to the treasure map to look for.
Some people may find it strange, obviously Meng Zitao only needs to ask for clues about the box, why bother to do so much, and it also delays time.
Of course, Meng Zitao also wanted to find clues as soon as possible, but not to mention that Bao Xiaoshan still knew about the box, even if he knew, Meng Zitao asked, would Bao Xiaoshan tell him?
Therefore, for Meng Zitao, on the one hand, he has to have a good relationship with Bao Xiaoshan, and then ask this question when it comes to the future. On the other hand, he wants to find Bao Xiaoshan's wife, so that the two parties can confirm that the news is of course much more reliable.
Moreover, the matter of the box, it has been a few years, and it is definitely not easy to get accurate information and the clues have not been broken, so it is useless even if you are in a hurry.
When the two of them were about to walk to the gate of the community, they saw the young security guard running towards them.
Meng Zitao looked at it fixedly, and it was a little strange, it turned out that half of the security guard's face was actually swollen like a pig's head, because of what caused such a result, you can guess from the clearly visible slap marks on his face.
When Meng Zitao saw this situation, he was a little strange, this guy was beaten, why did he come to find him, is it because of himself?
Thinking of this, Meng Zitao also had some guesses in his heart.
However, the security guard's behavior was still unexpected by Meng Zitao, who ran to him and knelt down to him.
Meng Zitao was startled, hurriedly flashed to the side, and asked the army to help him up. In recent years, the Internet is so developed, if someone makes a video and puts it on the Internet, acting in a scene of evil and young beatings, then he will be famous.
"What are you doing here?" said Meng Zitao angrily.
"This big brother. I reported that I was not good, but you have a lot of them, forgive me?" the security guard begged with tears in his eyes.
The security guard's answer made Meng Zitao confirm his previous judgment, which made him very unhappy, and a trace of sympathy just rose in his heart. Disappear without a trace.
Meng Zitao said lightly: "I don't have the leisure to come to you for trouble, but if you are like this, then I have to talk to you about life!"
When the security guard heard this, he quickly stood up straight, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, your prime minister can hold the boat in his belly." ”
"Hmph!" Meng Zitao laughed, and walked out of the community with the army.
See this. The security guard took a sip in the direction where Meng Zitao left, and scolded: "What kind of person, isn't there a good father......!
At this moment, the army suddenly walked back, gave him a cold look, made him pale with fright, and staggered back a few steps. A butt sat on the ground.
The army sneered a few times and walked back again.
Meng Zitao asked, "He saw you go back." What's the performance?"
When Dajun said that the security guard was ridiculous, he laughed and said, "Take the blame!"
Laughing and getting into the car, Meng Zitao asked: "Dajun, do you think my previous performance can be regarded as a fox and a fake tiger?"
Dajun scratched his head and said, "Meng Shao." I don't know how to say this kind of thing, but at least, you're certainly not a fox today, at best, just a lever. ”
Meng Zitao leaned back and said with emotion: "Yes." None of this is mine, at best it's just a leverage. ”
Dajun looked a little anxious when he heard this, and said, "Meng Shao, you should understand, I don't mean what you mean." ”
Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand: "I know, I just feel a little emotional, in this society, the advantages that some people bring by nature can be worth the efforts of others for a lifetime." ”
Dajun said: "Actually, I think that society is inherently unfair, but at least if you have the ability, as long as you are not too unlucky, you will definitely not be buried." Just like you, if you don't have the ability, Shu Shao and they will not be willing to take advantage of the situation for you. ”
"And me, if I don't have the ability, if I don't work at home, I can only go out to work, how can I get such an easy job now?
With that, he started his cart and drove towards Silver.
Meng Zitao was silent for a moment, and then laughed, just like the army said, although there are many unfairness in this society now, at least the efforts are more or less rewarded.
Just like the young security guard just now, if he spends all his grumbling and jealousy on his own improvement, at least he still has the opportunity to change his fate. But if you don't work hard, what are the chances of pie falling from the sky?
"Why do you want to do so much, just take care of yourself, if it's not your own relatives and friends, why should I worry?"
…………
Considering that the second day was Saturday, and there was a ghost market on the fourth floor of the treasure building, Meng Zitao stayed for two more days and harvested seven or eight treasures before returning to Ling City. After that, he went to Zheng Anzhi non-stop to report on this trip to Shanghai.
Speaking of which, the trip to Shanghai, although he did not complete his task, but Meng Zitao also gained a lot, just the Song Dynasty brother kiln fish ear stove, let him make the trip worthwhile.
Coupled with the previous Ru kiln pink and blue glazed Arhat bowl, in just one month, Meng Zitao received two of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, and they were all in the bag in the way of picking up leaks, he felt excited when he thought about it.
However, in addition to the harvest, the ability of the unknown organization also made Meng Zitao quite worried, but this matter was already outside his ability, and Zheng Anzhi also asked him not to worry about it.
On Monday, Meng Zitao and Dajun came to the antique shop as usual, but they didn't come for nearly a week, and the shop was covered with a layer of dust, and the two of them sweated profusely to clean it, and then it returned to the way it was a week ago.
"Yo, what did you do to make this happen?"
Meng Zitao raised his head when he heard the voice, saw Shu Ze's smiling face, and said with a smile: "What else can you do, clean up." When did you arrive?"
"Arrived last night. Shu Ze found a chair and sat down with a big grin, and said, "I said, you are a multimillionaire and a shareholder of an auction company, can't you hire a buddy?
Meng Zitao smiled: "It's not that you don't know, I don't live by walking." If they need anything, they just need to call me, isn't it a waste of money to ask man?"
Shu Ze pointed at Meng Zitao and scolded with a smile: "You kid is really slamming the door!"
Meng Zitao looked indifferent: "I'm exercising or not." ”
"Come on......"
After a few laughs, Shu Ze asked with a smile: "I said, did He Wanyi contact you?"
Meng Zitao was stunned, and then said with some embarrassment: "Okay." What are you talking about?"
"In other words, she hasn't contacted you?" Shu Ze smiled.
"You really can't open any pot, no pot, no one can always do it!" Meng Zitao said angrily.
"Do you regret your hesitation?" Shu Ze came with another combo.
"It's all this time, is it interesting to mention any regrets?" Meng Zitao glared at Shu Ze, in fact, this matter was obvious, whenever he thought of this matter, his intestines were blue with regret. But it has come to this, and it is useless to regret it. He can only comfort himself that if there is still a chance in the future, he will never let it go again.
"Look, you're angry, aren't you?"
Shu Ze smiled, and then said: "You say, could it be the girl named Xiaoyun, who deliberately said bad things about you because of her affairs." Or tell her not to contact you?"
Meng Zitao said speechlessly: "Can you not think so badly about other people's little girls, let's talk about it." There is no point in mentioning this now. ”
Shu Ze shrugged his shoulders and smiled again, "Do you want me to help you find them?"
Meng Zitao said: "If I have the opportunity, I will definitely not let it go, but the twisted melon is not sweet, and I don't know why she didn't contact me now, so she went rashly." Maybe it's counterproductive. ”
Shu Ze said with some hatred: "It's not that I said you, you are waiting for the opportunity to come like this, when do you have to wait? ”
Meng Zitao thought for a moment. In his heart, he still can't forget He Wanyi or He Baoyue, if it is really like what Shu Ze said, it will definitely be unacceptable.
Some time ago, Meng Zitao read a passage on the Internet that opportunities are only relative to people who are fully prepared and good at creating opportunities. If there is no opportunity, it is necessary to create it, and when there is an opportunity, it is necessary to seize it skillfully.
At that time, he deeply agreed with this passage, but now that he thinks about it, although he has made up his mind, he still treats the opportunity with the idea of being in the sky for everything, waiting for the rabbit, and looking forward to the opportunity to come to the door by himself.
Earlier, he was still laughing at the young security guard, thinking that the chance of pie falling from the sky was very small, and when it came to himself, didn't he also expect pie from the sky to fall?
Thinking of this, Meng Zitao felt very ashamed, and instantly made up his mind and said, "Okay, you can help me check it." ”
"That's right!" Shu Ze smiled and patted Meng Zitao's shoulder, and said, "By the way, Bao Xiaoshan's wife also has a little clue, but I don't know if she is too cautious or has something else, she and her son have already changed their names, and it is more troublesome to investigate, you have to wait a few days for this matter." ”
"There's no hurry. Meng Zitao waved his hand: "But, it's okay, how did she think of changing her name? Moreover, it seems that it is not easy for adults to change their names, and it will bring a lot of trouble, do they want to say goodbye to the past completely?"
At this time, he thought of Bao Xiaoshan's various doubts, and doubted the speculation that day, maybe Bao Xiaoshan's family had indeed encountered something, and everything now was just a disguise that he had to make.
Shu Ze said: "I don't know about this, it's probably some trouble." If you don't have a reason for it, you'd better not get in touch with this family, lest you get into any trouble in the future. We're not afraid of trouble, but there's no need to rush for trouble, right? ”
Meng Zitao nodded and said, "I will pay attention to this matter." ”
Seeing that Meng Zitao didn't agree, Shu Ze didn't say more and ask more, everyone has their own secrets, if they have to find out, often friends don't have to do it in the end.
"Excuse me, is the shopkeeper there?"
While the two were talking, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with a gentle temperament walked in from outside the door.
Meng Zitao stood up and said politely: "I am the shopkeeper of this store, may I ask what is the matter with this gentleman?"
The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, and after half a sound, he asked incredulously, "You are the shopkeeper Meng of this store?"
At this time, Shu Ze spoke: "As the old saying goes, people can't look good, and the sea can't fight, who rules that you can't open an antique shop when you're young? ”
The middle-aged man said a little embarrassedly: "This little brother is right, I am in love, and it should make sense for my friend to recommend me here." ”
"Oh, I wonder who your friend is?" asked Meng Zitao.
"Zhang Younian, don't you know that Shopkeeper Meng knows?" said the middle-aged man.
Zhang Younian is the friend of Lao Yang mentioned above, of course Meng Zitao knew him, so he invited the middle-aged man to sit down.
Meng Zitao poured him tea and asked, "Sir, what is your surname?"
The middle-aged man replied: "Don't have your surname Qidiao, and your single name is Hai." ”
Looking at everyone's surprised appearance, he said with a smile: "This surname is really rare, I don't know what the origin is, but when I was a child, I heard that lacquer carving was a professional title at the beginning, and the descendants got the surname in the name of the ancestors' occupation or skills, called the lacquer carving clan, and then it was inherited, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”
"It seems that there is indeed such a statement. ”
Meng Zitao nodded and asked, "I don't know if Mr. Qi Diao needs my service?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Why is it so awkward to say?" (To be continued.) )
