The stall owner will be saving up to make extra money, he didn't take care of Zhuang Rui at all, first, there are some worthless things, second, Zhuang Rui is Chinese, and he is not Beijinger when he listens to the accent, such foreign tourists rarely pay a lot of money to buy things, and it is difficult to fool them.

After Zhuang Rui took the jar in his hand, he carefully observed it, this is a pot-bellied and thin-mouthed pottery, about thirty centimeters high, dark and smooth throughout, without any ornamentation on it, it looks a bit like a rural pickled pickle jar, but it is one size smaller.

But Zhuang Rui got his hands on this object, and his heart was happy, this thing is not small in size, but the weight is extremely light, such a big jar, only one or two catties in weight, reached out and touched the inside of the jar, and felt very smooth, without a trace of tricky feeling, Zhuang Rui also confirmed his guess.

"Zhuang Rui, why did you buy this thing? Take it home and pickle it? Hey, it's so light? It's not made of iron sheets, right?"

Miao Feifei saw Zhuang Rui holding the jar and looking left and right, reached out and grabbed the mouth of the jar and grabbed it, and knocked it with her hand, the jar made a "dangdang" sound of gold and iron, which was a bit like porcelain.

"Alas, little girl, what you say is not right, what do I do with a tin jar when I have nothing to do, tell you, this is black pottery from the late Neolithic Age, a living antique......"

After hearing Miao Feifei's words, the stall owner who was arguing with those foreigners turned around and said a word very dissatisfied, and then picked up a bronze and said: "The things on my stall are all good things, this friend, see that you are a connoisseur, you look at this bronze, it is the candlestick used by the nobles to light the lamp in the Western Zhou Dynasty in the past, and it is a good thing to be. ”

Zhuang Rui smiled, took the clay pot that Miao Feifei was holding in his hand and put it on the ground, took the bronze candlestick, and said, "This thing belongs to the Western Zhou?"

This candlestick is about half a meter high, there is a four-legged stand below, and above it is a small lotus-shaped bowl held up by lotus leaves, which should be used for candles or lamp oil, and there are some carvings on the whole candlestick, covered with green patina, which looks like an old object.

Zhuang Rui took it and looked at it, and hurriedly threw it back, as if his hands were stained with dirt.

"Hey, I said you, don't throw it away, this object is expensive, it is definitely from the Western Zhou Dynasty, no more than the Eastern Zhou Dynasty......" The stall owner was a little dissatisfied with Zhuang Rui's actions, carefully put the candlestick in front of him, turned his face and talked to a few foreigners again.

"Zhuang Rui, that thing looks so old, it may really be from the Zhou Dynasty. ”

Miao Feifei was about to take it over just now, but she didn't expect to be thrown back by Zhuang Rui.

Zhuang Rui showed a very strange look on his face, looked at Miao Feifei and said: "Western Zhou, he said that it was the era of dinosaurs, do you believe it?" Don't be stupid, last week's was almost ......."

"Those patinas can't be produced in a day or two......" Miao Feifei didn't believe Zhuang Rui's words.

"Miss, I have dozens of ways to make that kind of patina, who knows if his thing was soaked out of the pit?"

Zhuang Rui rinsed his right hand with the mineral water in his hand as he spoke, although he did not have a habit of cleanliness, but he felt a little disgusted by this old method.

Miao Feifei was already stupid, looking at her hands in a daze, she dared to love over the years, she didn't know how many objects she had touched in Panjiayuan, and when she heard Zhuang Rui say this, her heart was about to die.

Zhuang Rui saw Miao Feifei's expression, laughed, and said, "It's okay, it's not all the kind of method I said, it can be old, buried in the soil for a month or two, it can also have this effect." ”

"I'm sick to death, don't talk about it, let's go. Miao Feifei punched Zhuang Rui angrily, pulled his arm and squeezed out.

"Hey, don't worry, I still have something to buy. ”

Zhuang Rui bent down and picked up the clay pot that he had just put at his feet again, others didn't understand the value of this thing, but he was very clear, especially after looking at it with aura, he was even more sure that this was an original old object.

There are many friends who may not know that pottery is not a unique invention in China, archaeological discoveries have proved that many countries and regions in the world have invented pottery, however, China has made a big step forward on the basis of pottery...... He was the first to invent porcelain and wrote a glorious page in the history of human civilization.

Porcelain and pottery are two different substances, but there is a close connection between the two. Without the experience gained from the invention of pottery and the continuous improvement of pottery-making techniques, porcelain could not have been invented alone.

The difference between the two is mainly divided into the following points, one is the firing temperature is different, the firing temperature of pottery is generally lower than that of porcelain, the highest is not more than 1100C, and the firing temperature of porcelain is relatively high, most of them are above 1200C, and some even reach about 1400C.

The second is that the degree of hardness is different, the pottery firing temperature is low, the body is not completely sintered, the sound is muffled when striking, the hardness of the carcass is poor, and some can even use steel knives to cut out grooves. The firing temperature of porcelain is high, the carcass is basically sintered, the sound is crisp when striking, and it is difficult to draw grooves on the surface of the carcass with ordinary steel knives.

The third is that the raw materials used are also different, pottery can be made of general clay to make billets and fired, while porcelain needs to choose specific materials and make billets on kaolin.

Then there is the difference between transparency and glaze color, but pottery is earlier than porcelain, there is no doubt about this.

Some friends are about to say, don't you say that the earlier the antique age, the more valuable, this is also true and not right, although the pottery appeared early, but this thing is relatively simple to fire, the material workmanship is very rough, the general pottery, even if it was unearthed in the Neolithic period, is not very valuable, like those clay pots in the Han Dynasty, no one wants to put it out.

However, everything has two sides, and there are valuable ones in this pottery, such as red pottery and painted pottery in the Yangshao culture period, black pottery in the Longshan culture period, white pottery in the late Shang Dynasty and glazed pottery in the Han Dynasty.

Antiques, no one is sought after, the price will naturally not come up, the current situation of pottery is like this, except for the real and rare pottery, the rest is simply no one cares.

Zhuang Rui's luck is good, the one he is holding in his hand now is really as the stall owner said, it is black pottery, but it is not the Neolithic period, but the pure black pottery of the Longshan culture period, Zhuang Rui just wiped it with his hands inside the black pottery, and the thin walls of the fine mud suddenly became black and bright, and this pottery is extremely thin, a bit like eggshell porcelain, which is the characteristics of Longshan fine black pottery.

Of course, Zhuang Rui also saw it with aura, if it weren't for the fact that there was a large amount of purple gas in this clay pot, Zhuang Rui wouldn't dare to be so sure, after all, this object was so rare, he didn't expect to encounter it in this stall full of fakes.

The black pottery is unglazed, so if it is not wiped, it looks a little dull, which may be one of the main reasons for the dust of this object, of course, for Zhuang Rui, this is a good time to pick up the leak, others have seen it, so what do you expect to pick up the leak.

This will be the stall owner and the foreigner finally understood in the vernacular, the Kangxi blue and white landscape figure cover jar was finally sold for 2,800 yuan, the stall owner took out a very exquisite box and handed the lid jar to the foreigner, and then counted the money, which is considered two clear.

The foreigner was complacent when he bought something, but he didn't expect the smiling stall owner to scold him for being stupid, and the two or three hundred yuan in the object changed hands and made 10 times the profit, which also made this young man feel good.

"Boss, how much do you sell this thing?" Seeing that the stall owner was idle, Zhuang Rui asked.

"Hey, I said brother, you're still fiddling with this thing, take it if you look at it, I'll give you a cheaper one." ”

The stall owner will be in a good mood, although he didn't earn a US knife, but the RMB has been in his pocket, he glanced at the clay pot, and said: "This thing is much earlier than the Kangxi blue and white lid jar, but we are all our own people, I'll give you a cheaper, three thousand yuan, what do you think?"

When Zhuang Rui heard this, he immediately showed an angry look, and said loudly in Pengcheng dialect: "Who are you fooling, just fool foreigners, and you still want to fool me? ”

Zhuang Rui's voice fell, and suddenly there was a burst of contempt around him, cultural people have always been self-proclaimed, people who play collections, more pay attention to an elegant word, play is leisurely and elegant, and cultivate that is the sentiment of people, although these things are used for display, but this means that can only be understood and can not be said, like Zhuang Rui, that is a word of evaluation: vulgar.

"Hey, I said, don't go, how much can you offer......?"

Seeing that Zhuang Rui was leaving, the stall owner was anxious, he was actually not from Beijing, he just rented a stall here, only set up a stall for a week every month, and the rest of the time was to go to various places to collect these things, of course, it was generally collected in the concentration of those antiques, but when he encountered something that looked a little old, he also collected, this clay pot was collected from the countryside for five yuan, it seems that the family used to drink water for the dog.

"I'll ask for 200 dollars......"

Zhuang Rui's price was very ruthless, and he directly erased a zero.

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, the stall owner made a distressed look and said: "I said brother, I spent 800 on it, and you want to take it away for 200......?"
