Chapter 125: Stealing Chickens and Rice (6)

Zhuang Rui didn't answer Qian Yaosi's words, but was thinking about where he went wrong, the store is so big, you can see through it at a glance, the ceramics in the store have been seen by yourself, and none of them are true, besides, since it is a door opening object used in "fishing", it should be placed in a more conspicuous place, and it is impossible to hide it in the corner of the wall.

While thinking about it, Zhuang Rui found a teapot on the table, the dishes he ate tonight were a little salty, which made his mouth a little thirsty, this cup was too small, and a sip of tea would not quench his thirst at all.

Zhuang Rui looked around on the table and saw that the purple clay pot, which was only a little bigger than a fist, was covered by a fat hand of Qian Yaosi, and said dissatisfiedly: "Boss Qian, what are you holding a kettle, don't be so stingy when you drink some water." ”

"Hehe, how can it be, I'll pour tea for Brother Zhuang, my tea, but Fujian Da Hong Pao, although it is not grown on the six tea trees, but it is also unavailable on the market, if it is not for the ancient brother today, plus a few children to fall in love, I will not take out this tea." ”

Qian Yaosi refilled the purple clay pot with water, and muttered in his mouth, the Dahongpao tea he was talking about, Zhuang Rui had also heard of its reputation when he was soaked in the Song Jun teahouse some time ago.

"Da Hong Pao" is also known as fir tea tree, grows on the high rock cliff of Jiulong Cave in Wuyi Mountain, the rock wall still retains the "big red robe" stone carving made by the monk of Tianxin Temple in 1927, the sunshine here is short, the light is reflected more, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and there are fine springs infiltrating and dripping on the top of the rock all year round. This special natural environment has created the special quality of Da Hong Pao, there are 6 tea trees in Da Hong Pao, all of which are shrub tea bushes, the leaves are thicker, and the buds have many myths and legends, but also because they are always very mysterious. Its mystery, first of all, lies in its rarity, the history of the big red robe, there were few, and now the recognized big red robe, only a few on the rock wall of the Nine Dragons. In the best years, the yield of tea is only a few hundred grams.

Since antiquities, rarity is precious. Such a small thing is naturally worth a hundred times. When the Republic of China, a pound is worth 64 silver dollars, 4,000 pounds of rice at that time, a few years ago, there are nine dragons of the big red red, when the sun shines on the tea trees and rocks, the rock light is reflected, the red can be very conspicuous.

The reason why Da Hong Pao is particularly interesting is not only because the tea in the robe was auctioned in the market, and 20 grams were auctioned at a sky-high price of 156,800 yuan, creating the highest record for the unit price of tea!

Hearing that Qian Yaosi said that this is Da Hong Pao tea, Zhuang Rui paid attention to it, but this tea tasting is really not something that can be learned in a while, he drank it in his mouth, and it seemed that he didn't feel that the tea brewed by those tea artists tasted good in the Song Jun Teahouse.

"Boss Qian, your object is really hidden, the kid is Ganbai...... Hey, hehe, today I want to thank you for the money shopkeeper, the kid also likes to taste tea during this time, but there is no set of good tea sets, it is rare for the money shopkeeper to be so generous, the kid is not sensitive. ”

Zhuang Rui was already planning to admit defeat, but he didn't plan to sell the dzi, and when he was thinking about how to shirk it, his eyes unintentionally swept over the purple sand cup in his hand, and his heart moved.

The range of this pottery is very extensive, Qin bricks and Han tiles are pottery, terracotta warriors and horses can also be said to be pottery, this purple sand cup, naturally it is also pottery, so Zhuang Rui did not continue to say if he admitted defeat, but used the aura to explore this cup, sure enough, it contains a large number of aura, although the color is white, but its number is so large that it can be compared to the red sandalwood Maitreya Buddha root carving.

"Hahaha, death for money, death for money, the agency is still seen to be flawed, it's worth it, the old man is really worth it this trip, I didn't expect the famous death to ask for money, and he will actually be planted, haha......"

At this time, the only one who laughed out loud was naturally the old man, Qian Yaosi's fat face at the moment was already squeezed together in sorrow, and that pitiful look almost made Zhuang Rui ask for this purple clay pot, and he almost didn't say it, but thinking about the hatefulness of this fat old man, Zhuang Rui still asked for it.

It can be said that Qian Yaosi really exhausted the organs, no one thought that this old object with a wide door open, he could take it out and use it, according to common sense, it must be placed in a conspicuous place to attract customers, Zhuang Rui is still a little confused, according to Qian Yaosi, this purple clay pot should be worth hundreds of thousands, how can this old man be willing to use it like an ordinary utensil, in case he accidentally knocks it off, then it is not to regret it.

In fact, although Zhuang Rui has learned some knowledge about the purple sand pot during this time, he is still not very clear about the collection of the purple sand pot, one of the benefits of the purple sand pot is that it can "wrap the aroma and exud heat", and it can absorb the fragrance of tea for a long time, and it can exude oil and luster.

When Qian Yaosi is not usually in this store, this set of purple clay pots is naturally maintained according to normal means, but if he comes, he will use this pot to make a cup of tea, chat with old friends and talk about the mountains, etc., today he made an appointment with the ancient vice chairman of the Jewelry Association, and he came to the store in advance, and he was waiting for the tea, but he didn't expect to wait for Zhuang Rui and a few people first.

Qin Xuanbing and the others on the side saw Qian Yaosi's appearance, and also knew that Zhuang Rui had won this bet, although it was a little inexplicable, but they were all very happy, Liu Chuan even snatched the purple sand cup in Zhuang Rui's hand, and looked at it over and over again, trying to figure out how this broken thing could be worth hundreds of thousands.

Seeing Qian Yaosi silent with an old face, Liu Chuan said loudly: "Old man Qian, shouldn't you regret it?"

"This is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, Brother Gu, we are all old, we will look at these young people in the future, Brother Zhuang, don't worry, although my old man Qian loves money, but what he said has never been inaccurate, this set of purple clay pots, I will clean it up later, you take it away!"

Qian Yaosi's face is a little lonely, he has not suffered such a big loss since he was sensible, although he has also paid tuition fees in the antique shop, but that is the cost of eight thousand, this set of pots just a few days ago, there was a Hong Kong businessman who bid him 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, due to the rise in the market of purple clay pots in recent years, especially the excellent works of modern pot masters, often higher than the price of the Ming and Qing Dynasty pot masters, this set of pots can be called perfect, and it is inherited in an orderly manner, and there is a lot of room for appreciation, Qian Yaosi did not agree to sell it at that time, I didn't expect this blink of an eye Kung Fu, it actually became someone else's。

The old man took the liberty of asking, who is Brother Zhuang's teacher, he has such knowledge at a young age, it's really amazing, by the way, since you can see that my pot is an old object that opens the door, can you tell its origin? Of course, this set of purple clay pots is already yours, and it doesn't matter if you can't say it. ”

Qian Yaosi is also a person who has experienced ups and downs, although this pot is worth hundreds of thousands, but for his net worth, it is just a drop in the bucket, the reason why he felt lost just now is also human nature.

Qian Yaosi handed the pot in his hand to Zhuang Rui as he spoke, Zhuang Rui first poured out the remaining water in the purple clay pot, then turned the body of the pot over, and looked at the style at the bottom.

Seeing this knowledge, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but be happy, although his level of appreciating antiques is not very good, but Zhuang Rui's memory is particularly good, not long ago in a book introducing purple sand artists, I saw the name Zhu Kexin, because of its special contribution in the modern purple sand pot, so that Zhuang Rui has a deep memory.

In 1904, Zhu Kexin was born in Dingshu Town, Yixing City, formerly known as Zhu Kaichang, with the stage name "Kexin", meaning the humble person, but the teacher is also and "a glass of water in the mountains, can clear the heart of the world", in 1931, Zhu Kexin was employed by the Jiangsu Provincial Yixing Ceramic Vocational School Pottery Science and Technology Worker, during which the creation of purple sand coffee sets, the following year, carefully made Yunlong Ding and Zhujie Ding to participate in the Chicago Exposition, and won the "Special Excellence Award", Zhuang Rui was deeply impressed by it, but also from this.

In December 1953, he was invited to participate in the Ministry of Culture's "National Folk Artist Viewing and Copying Conference", when his work "Cloud Dragon Pot" shined, in 1956 he was appointed as a counselor of purple sand molding technology, designed and created round pine, bamboo and plum pots, squirrel grapes, a section of bamboo, antique bamboo, etc. were exhibited in Sri Lanka and other countries by the "Chinese Arts and Crafts Tour Exhibition". And won the first prize.These injuries are now in the Nanjing Museum.

"Old man Qian, this set of purple clay pots should be Zhu Kexin's work when he was young, the body of this "Cloud Dragon Pot" is decorated with summer clouds, which are endlessly changing, and the atmosphere is vivid.

Zhuang Rui counted, this set of purple sand pot with coasters, teacups, lids, etc., a total of eleven pieces, each bottom has a style, rare is this set of purple sand tea set, without the slightest damage, and the pulp is round and natural, even in the eyes of Zhuang Rui, an outsider, can see that it is extraordinary, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an object that opens the door widely.

"Don't tell the two old men, I have only recently become obsessed with collecting, and I usually read some books of this kind, but no one really leads me to get started. ”

Zhuang Rui's words are also good, Uncle De wants to teach him some knowledge of appreciating antiques again and again, but Zhuang Rui is not interested in this industry, his understanding of the purple clay pot and Zhu Kexin is really what he saw from the book.
