At this moment, hearing the conversation between the old man in Tang costume and Wang Guan, Zhou Lao suddenly realized, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Okay, Lao Chang, I said why are you unusually and enthusiastic to help, it turns out that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink." ”

"What wine is not alcoholic.

At this time, the old man in Tang costume was also a little surprised: "I really help, but in addition to helping, I also want to pick a little leak by the way, so that I can brag in front of everyone." ”

"Pick the leak, pick what leak?" Yu Feibai was very interested.

"Don't stand, sit inside and talk." Zhou Lao greeted him and smiled: "To be honest, I am also very curious. It seems that you have planted a small heel in this big offering. ”

"Blame this kid for all the troubles, he refused to give me the cage yesterday." The old man in Tang costume said sullenly, walked straight to the hall and sat down, grabbed a delicate and small teapot, and took a sip of tea, only then did he feel a little more relaxed.

"Come, let's drink some water,... At this time, beckoned everyone to sit down, and then poured a cup of tea for everyone, Zhou Lao asked curiously: "Wang Guan, have you met Brother Chang?" ”

"I saw Chang Lao in Liulichang yesterday."

Wang Guan nodded slightly, since he said it, there was nothing bad to admit.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Yu Feibai was surprised: "Why don't we know about this? ”

"At that time, you weren't there..."As for Brother Xiao and Qinghua, they were still busy in the studio."

Wang Guan didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he directly brushed over the matter of Yu Feibai's entry into the bureau, and then said with a smile: "At that time, I put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the car, but when I turned around, I accidentally touched an uncle's bird cage. I saw that it was very chic, so I bought it and ...... after that."

"I'll talk about the rest of the story." The old man in Tang costume added: "I was watching from the side at the time, and I didn't pay much attention to it, but I just thought that this little brother had a good heart, and it was relatively rare." However, when he went to get the money, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the caged bird food jar "... Hey, it's late, it's a step late, and I regret it. ”

"To be honest, I bought this cage on a temporary basis, and I didn't care too much about it."

Wang Guan said with a smile: "But later, Chang Lao said that he liked this cage and had to buy it." At the time, I felt that something was wrong, and the cage was good, but it wasn't to be snatched. Besides, at that time, I was often wearing a jade wrench in my hand, and I was carrying a purple bamboo boxwood cage handed down from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

"I said why did you kid look at me in a daze, it turned out that you were getting to the bottom of it." Chang Lao suddenly realized, touched the jade wrench on his thumb, and said with a wry smile: "People say that thieves are thieves and thieves, and there is really some truth. Eye thief, how can you not be fine. ”

"You're right." Zhou Lao smiled: "His eyesight is indeed very powerful, and his luck is even more jealous." Many things that ordinary people can't pick up in their lifetime just let him run into them. ”

Knowing what Zhou Lao was talking about, Yu Feibai, Tang Qinghua, and Xiao Shan next to him thought it was true, "Listen to what you mean, he still picked a lot of omissions?" Chang Lao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'll talk about these things later, I'm more concerned about where the bird food cans in the cage have gone." ”

"Brother Chang, what can make you miss it like this must be a good thing." Zhou Lao said with a smile.

"That's a given." Chang Lao nodded lightly, and said a little solemnly: "It is a water-bowl blue and white porcelain bird food jar, looking at the hair color of the blue and white, I suspect that it is something from the Xuande period." ”

"What?"

Zhou Lao was slightly surprised, he definitely didn't care about the water bowl bird eating tank, after all, the bird food tank is the most abundant, there are bowl type, melon type, horizontal bamboo type, cylinder type, tank type, etc., the water bowl type is just a very ordinary shape, not worth making a fuss.

Mainly the blue and white porcelain in the Xuande period, this important premise can not be ignored at all.

You must know that although the origin of bird food jars is very early, and there are relics handed down in the Tang Dynasty, the real prosperity period is still in the Ming Dynasty. In the meantime, the products of the Xuande period are the best, not only the shape is beautiful, the enamel is fat, and the blue and white painted are the use of Su Ma Li green material imported from Nanyang at that time.

It can be said that the development of bird food cans has reached its peak in the Xuande period, and even formed a standard. Therefore, the bird food jars fired in later generations are mostly imitations of the style of the Xuande period. In this context, the blue and white bird food jar in the Xuande period has naturally become the target of the world.

Moreover, even if the function of the bird food jar is not mentioned, the Xuande blue and white porcelain alone is worth collecting.

"Wang Guan, where's the thing?" At the right time, Yu Feibai couldn't help but ask: "I said why did you mysteriously go to the mall last night to buy a small cup, it turned out that you wanted to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix." ”

"Is it there for me?" Tang Qinghua was also very curious, and took the initiative to say, "Do you want me to go back and get it?" ”

"No need, I've already brought something." Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Guan chuckled and said, "Moreover, I want to correct Chang Lao a little bit, that thing is not a pure bird food can." ”

While speaking, Wang Guan stretched out his hand and lifted the gift box, put it in front of Zhou Lao, and then said with a smile: "Zhou Lao, the thing is inside, this is a gift for you, if you open it, it means that you accept it." If you don't dismantle it, I won't be able to take it out, so you can do it yourself. ”

"Wang Guan, you're tricking me." Zhou Lao frowned slightly, a little hesitant.

"Not a pure bird food can......"

At the same time, Chang Lao thought about it and said thoughtfully: "Pen, ink and paper ghost...... Water-bowl bird food jar...... Could it be that that thing is the fifth treasure of the study? ”

"Chang Lao, you reacted so quickly, you guessed right at once." Wang Guan laughed and directly admitted: "That's right, that thing is a water bowl." It's just that I don't know who converted the water bowl into a bird food can, so two small holes were drilled in the wall of the water bowl and a ring-shaped ...... was inlaid with it."

Wang Guan compared, and his tone was also a little regretful. Originally, it was a good whole device, but after being modified in this way, it became a broken thing, which naturally affected the overall value.

"What!" When Chang Lao heard this, his heart ached: "Mingzhu secretly casts, how can good things fall into the hands of people who don't know how to do it, after their tossing, no matter how good things are, they are finished." ”

"Old Zhou, don't think about it, quickly take out the things and let me see if the disability is serious."

Under the persuasion of Chang Lao, Zhou Lao also became more and more shaken. In the end, Chang Lao simply opened the gift box by himself, and Zhou Lao did not stop it, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

The gift box is beautifully packaged, but it is easy to unpack. Chang Lao tore off the seal and opened the lid of the box in two clicks. I saw a thick layer of rice paper resting on the bottom of the wide box, and a few things were placed on top of the rice paper. There is no need to mention the brush, inkstone, ink ingot, etc., and there is also a small blue and white jar, which is the target of Chang Lao.

"That's right, this is it." Chang Lao hurriedly picked up the things, and after a little look, he found the holes on the wall, and immediately exclaimed bitterly: "It's really crippled, it's a rare thing." ”

Generally speaking, all kinds of bird food jars have a fixed ring system on one side. After all, bird food jars are installed in cages, and if they are not fixed, they are prone to tipping over when carrying cages. Besides, no matter how spiritual a bird is, when eating, it is impossible to take care of its own rice bowl like a human, and if it grabs and pecks, the jar that is not fixed will definitely be easy to break.

Anyway, the shape of the bird food jar is like this, and the one with the ring system must be the bird food jar.

If you don't have a ring, you can put it in a bird cage, but if you take it out, it depends on the specific function.

However, this small bowl of blue and white jars, obviously, was definitely not a bird food jar, but it may be that someone later thought that this jar seemed to be quite like a bird food jar, so they simply helped it refit. Drill two holes in the wall, and then thread a piece of wire through it, and twist a ring slightly, and it becomes a bird food can.

However, last night, Wang Guan removed the wire from the can, and then wiped the jar clean with a damp cloth and soft cloth, so that the jar returned to its original appearance. Everyone looked at it, only to see that the texture of the small jar was clean and moist, the shape of the vessel was elegant and elegant, especially the blue and white on the jar, the rich color was scattered between the glaze, and the exquisite shape was integrated, and the style was extremely elegant.

In addition, the blue and white picture is decorated with distant mountains and near water, towering ancient trees, pavilions and pavilions, and an old man on the shore sits on the ground and fishes, which is quiet and peaceful. The whole picture is very three-dimensional. However, in the far-reaching picture, two dazzling holes suddenly appeared, which ruined everyone's mood very much.

"Tyrannical Treasures, Tyrannical Extraterrestrial ......" Chang Lao shook his head and sighed, his fingers pressed the two small holes, wishing that he could use flesh and blood to plug the small holes, so that the jar would be intact and no longer defective.

At the same time, Wang Guan explained a little embarrassedly: "Old Zhou, I originally wanted to ask someone to help repair it before sending it to you, but there was not enough time, so I could only take it like this." ”

Although Wang Guan has a special ability to repair the fragment, it should be noted that the restoration can only be successful when the fragment is complete. The eyelets similar to this blue and white jar are no longer broken, but missing. If you want to repair it, it belongs to the category of making something out of nothing, and Wang Guan doesn't have this ability.

Moreover, Wang Guan also has some understanding of Zhou Lao's temperament, if the jar is a remnant, he is more likely to accept it, and if it is intact, it will definitely be returned directly.

In fact, Wang Guan's guess is not wrong.

At this time, Zhou Lao took the small blue and white jar, and after looking at it for a while, he also sighed: "The color of the pattern is uneven, and even some crystalline spots. The color is deep, blue-black, concave and deep into the fetal bone, and there is a sense of unevenness. Overall, it is a good blue and white water bowl, even if it is defective, it is estimated to be worth more than 100,000 or 200,000 ......"
