Fortunately, Meng Zitao did not look at the form, he was able to control his emotions, and hurriedly hid the excitement and excitement in his heart, but then, the result given by the ability made him tremble, but fortunately, Zhang Jingqiang and Cangxiong were chatting, so they didn't notice his abnormality.

Finally suppressed the excitement in his heart, and when Meng Zitao was about to take a closer look, Mr. Li walked back with his things.

Meng Zitao's heart moved, and he pretended to be a little apologetic and said to Mr. Li: "I'm sorry, I usually like incense, and I was happy to see this incense burner, so I started to appreciate it." ”

Mr. Li didn't care, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Director Meng to be so fragrant." ”

Meng Zitao pretended to be interested and said, "Oh, listen to what you mean, Mr. Li, you also like incense?"

Mr. Li waved his hand and said: "I'm not interested in incense, the main reason is that this thing is too expensive, tens of thousands of yuan of agarwood, just use it and it will be gone." However, my wife liked incense for a while, but she fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and bought her a set of incense tools, and she was not interested in it after a few days. ”

As a result, most of the incense utensils were shelved by me, and only this incense burner I thought was good, so I used it as an ornament. If Director Meng likes it, then I'll give it to you. ”

"Is this what it feels like to be pie in the sky?"

Meng Zitao suddenly had a feeling of being stunned by money, and his mind was a little dizzy, but fortunately, he was also used to it, just the piece of jade with amazing value put him into practice, so he returned to normal in an instant, and said with a smile: "This is a little embarrassing." ”

Mr. Li said with a smile: "What's this, what does it matter if you spend millions to buy me a piece of jade, and I give you an incense burner of thousands of yuan?"

In order to avoid trouble in the future, Meng Zitao shook his head and said: "I have a habit of not accepting antiques from others, so can I spend money to buy them?"

Mr. Li didn't think much about it, since Meng Zitao had this habit, he followed him, and said: "Okay, I bought this incense burner for 3,000 yuan, you just give it to me at the original price." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said that there was no problem, and directly took out 3,000 yuan and gave it to Mr. Li.

Mr. Li took the money and said with a smile: "I actually have a set of incense utensils in my hand, which was originally intended to be photographed for my wife, but then she was no longer interested, so there is no place for it, do you want me to take it and take a look?"

Meng Zitao said secretly: "No wonder you want to give me the incense burner, it turns out that you are waiting here." ”

Not to mention that he was soft-handed, he picked up a big leak, and just now he said that he liked incense, and it was impossible to refuse, so he nodded and said yes.

Mr. Li put the things he had brought on the table, and then went back to the room to get the incense utensils.

Mr. Li only brought two things over this time, namely a Yongzheng year of the Qing Dynasty and a bronze gilt figure pavilion table clock.

Both objects are quite exquisite, especially the table clock, which has a Baroque and Rococo appearance and the pavilion Chinese style that was popular at the time, with a bronze gilt body, carved flowers, a strict symmetrical layout, and exquisite casting and carving techniques, as well as inlay and gilt work.

Moreover, the production time of the grandfather clock should be in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and now, at least from the performance point of view, the whole clock should be fine, which is already quite difficult.

If the clock is still running, Mencius estimates that the market value is six or seven million, but if it is no longer operational, the value will definitely be discounted to a certain extent.

When Mr. Li came over with the incense utensils, Zhang Jingqiang asked, "Mr. Li, can this table clock still work?"

Mr. Li said: "It can't work anymore. ”

Zhang Jingqiang said with regret: "It seems that it is so well preserved, but it can't be operated, it's a pity." ”

Mr. Li nodded and said, "It's a pity, but if it can work, it may not be photographed for me at that time." ”

"But if it's just for decoration, it's a little boring. Zhang Jingqiang was a little hesitant to buy it.

And Meng Zitao next to him has already begun to pay attention to the incense utensils that Mr. Li brought over.

It can be said that incense began in ancient times, germinated in the pre-Qin period, first became in the Qin and Han dynasties, grew up in the six dynasties, completed in the Sui and Tang dynasties, flourished in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and was widely used in the Ming and Qing dynasties. For more than 2,000 years, China's upper class, literati, and eminent monks have always been accompanied by incense and highly respected it.

Therefore, in ancient times, smelling incense and tasting tea, arranging flowers, and hanging paintings were called "four kinds of idle things", which was the elegant life of the ancients.

Nowadays, in Dongying, which is across the sea from us, calligraphy, tea ceremony, and flower arrangement have become their national quintessence, and the pure and elegant traditional culture of incense is also blooming everywhere in Dongying, and they are even about to apply for their own cultural heritage.

Moreover, in recent years, there have been many incense masters and experts visiting our country, but no one has accepted the huge China, which cannot but be said to be a reflection of the neglect of Chinese civilization and traditional culture.

Meng Zitao actually had the intention to change this, and it was because of this that he had the idea of opening a ceramic company (making high imitations and selling them to foreigners was only one of the reasons) to contribute to the spread of Chinese culture.

To get back to the point, Mencius did have some research on incense, but the research was not deep, of course, he could still distinguish the incense utensils.

There are a total of six incense utensils in this set, and four of them are made of Khotanese white jade.

Among them, the white jade incense burner is dug with the whole material, in the shape of a begonia, with a lid, decorated with animal face pattern and Ruyi cloud head pattern, the depiction is delicate and smooth, the shape is elegant and dignified, the material selection is superior, and it is difficult to be valuable.

The incense arrangement is of the flower type, it is used to insert the incense stick with the pedestal with a jack, the same is carved from high-quality Khotanese white jade, the upper and lower parts of the body are decorated with a scorched leaf pattern, the middle of the body is carved on all sides, the jade quality of this incense insert is delicate, the pulp is natural, and the decoration is simple and generous.

The white jade incense box is begonia mouth, the jade quality is warm and moist, the box lid is decorated with the word "longevity" of the dragon holding the group, the dragon is opposite to each other, the body is geometrically curved;

The white jade incense dish is skillfully carved in the shape of lotus leaves, curled edges, engraved lotus leaf veins, and the reverse side is embossed with stems, the overall depiction is smooth and natural, and the texture is delicate, which is a unique work.

There are two pieces of incense utensils left, one is used to pluck incense, with the handle of agarwood with the shape, the handle and the body are integrated, the front end is made of gold, the whole is natural, and the agarwood pulp is naturally heavy;

Overall, this group of incense utensils from the late Qing Dynasty is very literati and practical, and if you use them to taste incense, it must be a visual treat.

Meng Zitao was very fond of this set of incense utensils, and he was already interested in studying incense, maybe he would be able to use them to taste incense in the near future.

When Meng Zitao was observing the incense utensils, Zhang Jingqiang had already discussed with Mr. Li the value of the ox blood red porcelain plate, as for the table clock, although it was also precious, Zhang Jingqiang was not interested because it could no longer operate.

So, Mr. Li could only look at Meng Zitao with a blank eye, wanting him to take over.

Although Meng Zitao picked up a big leak in Mr. Li's previous words, Mr. Li's previous words still disgusted him, his current mentality is completely in business, he can ask for a clock, but he can do whatever he wants.

Next, Meng Zitao and Mr. Li went back and forth for a while, and finally won the table clock and the set of incense utensils at a price of 3.2 million.

They are all busy people, and since they have completed their goals, written checks, and verified that there is no problem, everyone has asked for their farewell.

Before leaving, Zhang Jingqiang chatted with Meng Zitao for a while: "Zitao, I have something to do in a while, so I won't go back with you, as for the affairs of the elders, I will trouble you more." ”

"Well, I'll contact you when I'm ready. ”

"Okay, in addition, you don't have to worry about the intermediary fee on Cangxiong's side. ”

With the relationship between the two, Meng Zitao had nothing to excuse, so he agreed directly.

Starting from Mr. Li's side, Meng Zitao's car drove to He Wanyi's shop, and he was going to take He Wanyi to the photo studio in the afternoon to set the wedding photos.

Soon, the car entered the city from the suburbs, and just as he passed by a commercial circle in the east of the city, Meng Zitao noticed a little boy wearing a T-shirt and looking seven or eight years old, walking towards an alley. The little boy limped as he walked, and a painful expression flashed across his face, and he felt a little distressed when he looked at it.

The little boy's familiar appearance made Meng Zitao's heart move, he recalled it carefully, and found that it was indeed very similar to the child suspected of being abducted and trafficked mentioned by He Wanyi yesterday, but he was only a glimpse at the time, and he couldn't be sure for a while.

So he pulled over and called He Wanyi to ask about the child's appearance.

He Wanyi described it on the phone, and asked with some surprise: "Has the child been found?"

Meng Zitao said truthfully: "I just saw a child who looks very similar, and I don't know if it's him. ”

He Wanyi said firmly: "It must be him, today Monday, a child of his age should be in class." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Okay, I'll go and find out the situation first, it may take a while to get to your store." ”

He Wanyi said with some concern: "Those who force children to be pickpockets are definitely not good people, you better let the police investigate." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "You don't know my skills, I can easily solve ten or eight adults together, and this matter can't be delayed, in case the leader hears something and runs away, isn't it still a symptom but not a cure? But don't worry, I will definitely pay attention to my own safety, and I will not be reckless." ”

"Okay, but you have to put your own safety first. He Wanyi advised.

"Understand ......"
