"Well, it tastes really good, but it doesn't seem to be the same snake soup I've eaten in the past, how do you make it?"

Wang Zhengjun has almost traveled all over the north and south of China's rivers with a pair of feet, so the snake soup has naturally been eaten, but it is still a little unfamiliar with today's taste, it is very delicious, but there is a special feeling.

"Of course, I'll tell you the truth, this thing was made by Yunmo, the hunter who followed me out of Snow Eagle Village......"

"Oh, I know, I know, have you done everything about those people's identities? are you still used to life, right?" asked Wang Zhengjun as he ate the delicious snake soup.

"It's okay, the identity is no problem. I don't have to bother with this matter because the state is doing it, but you also know that it will take a while for these people to adapt to modern life when they just come out of the ravines. Some people are adaptable and have now put themselves into their work, while some people are really not good, I asked them to hire a psychiatrist to enlighten them, and they can't just send them back, then I will be too embarrassed. Zhang Tianyuan replied.

"It's really not easy to do anything. Alright, we're done eating, and it's time to get down to business. Wang Zhengjun put the bowl aside, then wiped his mouth and said.

Zhang Tianyuan nodded, he hadn't forgotten the purpose of Wang Zhengjun's coming here, so he stood up and shouted: "Aunt Qin, you are troublesome to clean up this bowl, I will go to the tearoom with Wang Lao to discuss things." ”

Of course, he has his own tea room, and it is very formal, now that he has money, he has gradually learned to enjoy it, he used to drink tea in a big bowl, and he also likes to drink herbal tea in the summer, and he pours it down when it is cold, and it feels really cool.

But now. I feel that tasting tea is also a kind of enjoyment.

When he arrived at the tea room, after pouring tea with Wang Zhengjun and himself, Zhang Tianyuan said: "Then please ask Wang Lao to talk about this matter in detail, and talk about the specific information and the expected price of the other party." I have a number in mind. ”

Wang Zhengjun nodded, first stroked his beard, like a military advisor with a goatee in the ancient yamen, and then said very seriously: "Didn't we get a website? There will often be people who post some antique sales information on the website, and these people are members we are familiar with, so the reputation can be guaranteed, during this period of time to do a few business, everyone is very satisfied, I think this form can continue." Of course. I'll report to you later, what I want to say is that once again I saw a friend send a purple clay pot for sale, you know, I like to drink tea on weekdays, and I also like the purple clay pot, and I want to collect some good ones. ”

"I know this, the purple clay pot is bullish in the auction market. It is a 'antique' with a collection, and the works of famous masters are often hard to find. As the saying goes, 'what is the best place to take the jewels in the world, it is advisable ~ Xing Zisha is the most important'. This purple clay pot is a handmade clay handicraft unique to our Han nationality in China. The raw material for the production is purple sand mud, and the origin is in Dingshu Town, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, also known as Yi~Xing purple sand pot. It's really quite famous, but everyone who likes antiques, most of them have the habit of drinking tea, so they also have their own preferences for purple clay pots. But what is this purple clay pot you see, and it still interests you?"

Wang Zhengjun smiled and said: "Ancient famous pots, from the tree gall pot and six-petal round capsule pot for spring during the Jiajing period of Ming Zhengde to the purple sand mandarin duck tea vessel made by Ji Hansheng and Cao Anxiang that can brew two kinds of tea at the same time-Chinese dragon pot, and then to the Dharma milk pot made by the Buddhist artist Master Yan Qian, there have been fine products handed down in the past 500 years. It is said that the founder of the purple clay pot was the spring offering of the Ming Dynasty in China. Because of the perfect combination of artistry and practicality. The purple clay pot is so precious and evocative. More on the benefits of making tea in the purple sand pot and the culture of tea Zen, which adds to the noble elegance of the purple sand. And what I saw this time, that is this Gong Chun, also called Gong Chun, this is the most primitive purple clay pot, do you think I am not interested?"

"This is unlikely, right?" Zhang Tianyuan shook his head, a little unconvinced, and said: "It is usually said that the founder of the purple clay pot is Gong Chun in the Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty - Jiajing. Yu Congzu Boxing Shi Gong read Nanshan, with a boy's name for spring, see the local people to mud for the pot, that is, the mud for the pot, extremely ancient and cute, the so-called for the spring pot also. This is for the spring pot, the people at that time praised 'the chestnut dark, such as ancient and modern iron, Dun Pang Zhouzheng. In just twelve words, it is like a pot. It's a pity that the spring pot is no longer seen. An imitation of Mr. Gu Jingzhou, a contemporary Yi~Xing purple sand master, is also priced at about 600,000 Hong Kong dollars, which shows how precious the artistic value of the spring pot is. If you really see this spring pot, I'm really a little interested, but it's a bit hanging. ”

"Well, I can understand your thoughts, but I have seen the purple clay pot with my own eyes, and to that extent, even if it is not a spring teapot, it should be the work of the master of the purple clay pot of the first era. Wang Zhengjun said again.

Zhang Tianyuan knew what he said, the so-called purple clay pot masters of the first era were nothing more than four people: Feng Chun, Shi Dabin, Xu Youquan and Li Zhongfang.

When the spring was passed on, Da Bin. The two of them, together with Shi Dabin's disciples Xu Youquan and Li Zhongfang, are known as the three major purple sand "wonderful hands" of the Ming Dynasty after Wanli. Shi Dabin's purple clay pot style is elegant and refined, the shape is smooth and flexible, although it does not pursue ingenious carving, but it is ingenious, simple and elegant, and wonderful. His tall Xu Youquan sighed to himself in his later years: "My essence will not be timely (Shi Dabin)'s coarseness." ”

Xu Youquan, fine handiwork, is good at making the shape of ancient bronzes into purple clay pots, ancient and solemn, simple and vigorous. Legend has it that Xu Youquan worshipped Shi Dabin as a teacher when he was a child, and begged the teacher to pinch a mud cow for him, but he was not allowed. At this time, a real cow passed by outside the house, Xu anxious Shengzhi grabbed a handful of mud, ran outside the house, pinched up the real cow, praised him, thought he was very talented, so he happily gave him all the unique skills, and then it really became a family of its own.

But he still expressed doubts, he had never seen the real thing, and it was not easy to make him believe it.

"Who is this person who sells purple clay pots?"

"His name is Gu Fangzhou, and Mr. Gu Jingzhou is a distant relative who can't be beaten, of course, the ability to make purple clay pots can't be compared with Mr. Gu Jingzhou, but Gu Fangzhou is a ceramic appraisal, although he is now at home, but there is never a shortage of guests at home, these people look for him, most of them are to let him help identify ceramics. Wang Zhengjun replied.

This Gu Fangzhou Zhang Tianyuan has really heard of it, he is very famous, he used to be idle at home, he is in his sixties, he has made enough money, and now he likes to collect something. When Zhang Tianyuan wanted to ask his old man to come out of the mountain to do the full-time appraisal work of the HRE Museum, although he showed due respect for Zhang Tianyuan, he just refused to go out of the mountain, saying that he was old and inevitably had a dazzling time.

Later, Wang Zhengjun went to invite, only to invite him out of the mountain, and became an expert in the identification of ceramics in the HRE Museum, of course, it is relatively free, and there is no employment relationship with the HRE Museum, if you want to identify, you will be identified, and if you don't want to identify, you will not be identified.

In fact, it's okay, Zhang Tianyuan doesn't have to spend a lot of money to support him, if he wants to help, he will naturally help, and every time he helps, he will naturally have a benefit fee. But you don't have to pay for your salary or anything else.

If it was identified by this Gu Fangzhou, then most likely this purple clay pot is really a spring pot, and at worst, it is estimated that it will not be able to escape the imitation of Shi Dabin and others, which is also very valuable.

"I see, then you go on. Zhang Tianyuan is going to listen to it, if the purple clay pot is really true, then the rest of the pottery is also true.

"The thing is that I wanted to buy the spring pot, and asked where this thing came from, Lao Gu couldn't resist me, so he told me, and also introduced me to join the black market appraisal experts, and took me to the appraisal once, in my judgment, most of those things are real. Wang Zhengjun continued.

"Also, how many things are there, and what is the price? If the price is too expensive, we have to prepare money immediately, and good things cannot be missed. ”

Although most of the people who engage in the black market have backers, it is difficult to say whether these backers will work or not, so they would rather save some trouble than make trouble.

In other words, they will all have their own psychological expectation, which is the price at which they can sell their own things.

If someone is willing to offer such a price, they will trade directly instead of choosing a more risky auction.

The auction means a lot of people, and a lot of people means that there are people who are noisy and dangerous, and no one can be sure that there are no police in the so-called guests.

What's more, although this black market has a good reputation, the authenticity rate is only 70%, that is to say, there are still about 30% fakes.

But if it is a private transaction, even if Zhang Tianyuan sees that it is fake, then he will not publicize it indiscriminately, as long as others don't know, this thing can naturally still be sold, and others may not have such a good vision as Zhang Tianyuan.

What's more, the black market is also divided into two parts, one is for oneself and the other is for sale, which is a bit like an auction house. In fact, through private transactions, these black market people will also know the authenticity of a thing from the side, there is no harm to them, once they know the authenticity, then they can make another arrangement, not to sell, or continue to try to try their luck, ask the person who finds them to sell more intermediary fees and so on.

In short, in a word, this matter can be communicated privately, so there is also a clear price.

"I brought all the information, there is a brief introduction, as well as photos taken and a full range of videos, a total of seventy-five pieces of various purple clay pots, and Tang Sancai has more than 20 pieces, and there are some ancient pottery that I don't know the age of about 200 pieces, which is estimated to be worthless.
