"You don't have a backache when you just stand and talk."

At this time, Xing Qiu pouted and said, "The azure mud I was looking for in the past few days has not seen a shadow, but you have bought a lot of things and gained a lot." ”

"It's just luck."

Speaking of this, Wang Guan also had a little more smile on his face: "It's all gadgets, it's not worth mentioning." ”

"Pretentious."

Xing Qiu said angrily: "You didn't say that the day before yesterday. ”

"What did I say?" Wang Guan blinked and said, he said too much, how could he remember everything.

"You said that you were lucky, even if you couldn't find the azure mud, but found a piece of stone yellow, it was worth the trip." Xing Qiu snorted: "I feel that this trip is not for you to accompany me, but for me and me to accompany you." ”

"It doesn't matter." Wang Guan smiled and said: "It's a big deal, I'll go back and ask someone to make Shi Huang into a pot and give you a handful." ”

"Not uncommon!" Xing Qiu pouted.

"That's what you said, don't regret it then." Wang Guan kindly reminded: "If azure mud is the top variety of purple sand mud, then Shihuang can also be called one of the top varieties, which is very rare. ”

Wang Guan is not exaggerating in this statement, you must know that the purple sand mud clay belongs to the inland lakes and coastal lakes and marsh sedimentary deposits, which are deposited and mineralized by external forces and buried deep in the belly of the mountain.

As mentioned before, purple sand mud is a collective term for red mud, green mud, and purple mud. Although it is the same purple sand mud, the quality of it is also subdivided into several categories. The most common is nail mud, which has the largest reserves. In addition, the purple mud is a layer in the nail mud, and the green mud is the interlayer in the purple mud interlayer, so it is called the mud in the mud and the rock in the rock.

The yield of green clay is not much, the mud quality is more tender, and the refractory power is lower than that of purple clay. Generally, it is mostly used as powder or paint on the outside of the carcass to make the color of purple sand pottery more colorful.

As for stone yellow, it is one of the varieties of tender mud, and it is the backbone of red mud color. In the purple sand industry, it has long been commonly known as red mud, and in historical documents, it is also called vermilion.

Anyway, the purple clay pot made of this quality of mud is brilliant and gorgeous, calm and not delicate, and is known as the big red robe, which is recognized by the world as the best and best red clay.

But it's a pity. Because this mud is too scarce. In addition to the period of the Republic of China, a number of horizontal small pots were made, which were made of this mud as tires. Normally, this precious clay is only used as makeup clay to decorate the purple sand mud blank, and sent to the kiln to create a vermilion effect. However, compared with the best red robe, it must be very far behind.

You must know that the real Dahongpao purple clay pot is as fine as smooth grease and the whole body is tender and moist, not only the quality of the pot body is outstanding. The appearance alone is enough to make people feel intoxicated. It was impossible to find azure mud, but he got a piece of stone yellow, which must be an unexpected joy, and it is no wonder that Wang Guan felt that the trip was worthwhile.

"This little friend."

Just when Wang Guan was proud. A person suddenly walked over and said kindly: "It may be a little presumptuous, but I still want to ask, the two of you seem to have mentioned Shi Huang just now?" ”

"Huh?"

Wang Guan looked up. I saw that people said that they were not old, and it seemed inappropriate to say that they were middle-aged, anyway, they were in their early fifties. The sideburns are slightly frosty, but the eyes are very bright, as if they have the vitality of a young man.

"This ......"

Wang Guan hesitated slightly, and was considering the question of salutation. However, Xing Qiu next to him reacted faster, and smiled directly: "Uncle, did you hear us talk?" ”

"I'm sorry, I heard a few words when I passed by." The man smiled apologetically, and then continued to ask, "Did you really find Shi Huang?" ”

"Well." Xing Qiu stopped talking, but looked at Wang Guan. After all, the thing belongs to Wang Guan, and he doesn't have much to say. Maybe Wang Guan plans to keep it secret, and maybe he denies it.

However, Wang Guan did not keep it secret, but he smiled casually: "I just found something that is suspected to be Shi Huang, not necessarily Shi Huang." ”

"Can you show me?"

Perhaps thinking that it was a bit presumptuous, the man added: "Of course, I can do it in the past." ”

Anyway, the meaning is the same, they all want to see if the thing in Wang Guan's hand is Shi Huang. If not, then it's good to get together and disperse, if it's really Shi Huang, he definitely can't miss it easily.

In the man's expectant gaze, Wang Guan thought about it, nodded briskly and said, "Okay, the thing is in the hotel, if the uncle is interested, let's go over and have a look." ”

At this time, the two of them also finished breakfast, and after settling the bill, they immediately returned to the hotel room with the man. Although they stayed in the hotel for a week, the two went out early and returned late, but fortunately there was a waiter to clean it, otherwise the room would have been messed up.

As for the results of Wang Guan's trip to the mountains and countryside, they are naturally locked in a cabinet. After beckoning the man to sit down, Wang Guan opened the cabinet and saw that the cabinet was still spacious and stacked with his harvest of five or six days.

Things are a little messy, two or three small pots, and some ceramic ornaments. The most striking of these is, of course, a stone under the cabinet, whose shell is black-brown and as hard as iron, and which is encased in a mineral that closely resembles the yolk of a hard-boiled egg. weighs nearly thirty or forty pounds, and when Wang Guan moved out, he also felt a little struggling.

After putting the stone down, Wang Guan smiled and said, "Uncle, you should be an expert, help me see if this is Shi Huang." ”

"I'll look at ......"

In fact, the moment he saw the stone, there was a little joy in the man's eyes. After half-squatting up and looking at it carefully, he was even more certain. However, he still had to inquire clearly: "Xiaoyou, where did you find the things?" ”

"That's a coincidence." Wang Guan was in a good mood, and he didn't mean to hide it: "The two of us went to the countryside to dig out houses, and when we visited various houses in Zhaozhuang, we inadvertently passed by a dilapidated house. At that time, we were a little tired, so we simply rested on the broken walls of the house. ”

"At that time, I was bored, so I took a bamboo pole and knocked on the broken wall, but I didn't want to knock on it, and suddenly I realized that this stone was wrong." While speaking, Wang Guan smiled and said: "Through careful identification, I feel that this stone seems to be stone yellow. It's just that people are treated as ordinary stones, mixed with mud to build houses. It wasn't until the house was dilapidated that it was rediscovered. ”

"It's no wonder there are so many mud marks on the surface of the stone."

The man suddenly realized, and his eyes lit up: "There is nothing else but this stone?" ”

"Probably not." Wang Guan pondered: "Even if there is, it is estimated that it will be weathered under the wind and sun." Only when the stone was lucky, and something was piled up on it, and there was mud wrapped in it, it did not crumble. ”

When the man heard this, he felt very regretful, after all, after the stone yellow was crushed, it was mixed with other soils, and it was really not easy to refine it. Especially when the quantity cannot be determined, the gains may outweigh the losses if the teachers mobilize the people to refine.

Of course, in any case, thirty or forty catties of stones, the amount of finely refined stone yellow is also a lot. If you use it as a makeup clay, you can also use it for a while. Even if you use all of them to make purple clay pots, you can make two or three.

Anyway, the man was tempted, and after studying Shi Huang again, he immediately raised his head and said, "Little friend, are you willing to make a move on this Shi Huang?" I can buy it at a high price. ”

"I'm sorry, but things don't sell." Wang Guan smiled: "I want to keep it and ask someone to make the pot." ”

In an instant, then the direct offer: "One million." ”

"Huh!"

Wang Guan was a little surprised, the main price is really sincere. You must know that even the purple clay pot of the contemporary famous pot maker may not be worth the price. Everyone should know that the material is the cost, coupled with the craftsmanship of the famous pot maker, so the value of the purple clay pot is also very normal. The problem is that no matter how high the cost of the material is, it cannot be higher than the finished product of the purple clay pot.

Thinking of this, Wang Guan thought thoughtfully, and then asked, "What do you call uncle?" ”

"Pei!"

The man introduced himself: "Pei Hongquan is a craftsman, so he is happy to see the hunt, and I hope that Xiaoyou can be fulfilled." ”

"Pei ......"

At this moment, Wang Guan was surprised: "Master Pei, the lion ball king? ”

"Hehe, that's touted by friends in the industry, you can't take it seriously." Pei Hongquan smiled modestly: "Compared with my ancestors, I am still far behind." ”

"Bae, Bae, Bae......"

At the same time, Xing Qiu seemed to know Pei Hongquan too, and his eyes were wide open, as if he was stammering. That demeanor is similar to the reaction of fans when they see idols.

Seeing this situation, Pei Hongquan was more or less complacent. After all, it is human nature to be respected by others and be happy in your heart, and it is understandable. Of course, he was more concerned about Shi Huang's affairs: "Xiaoyou, what do you think of my proposal?" If I don't think the price is right, I can add some more. ”

Pei Hongquan is qualified to say this, and he is not worried that the cost will rise if the materials are expensive. Because even if the cost of the things he makes is quadrupled, he can easily sell them.

After all, masters are also divided into levels, for example, Mr. Gu Jingzhou, a pot art master, his elaborate pots could only be sold for two or three hundred yuan in the seventies and eighties, but now they have exceeded 10 million. In the autumn auction of 2011, his Tibi pot sold for more than 17 million yuan, setting a new world record for the price of a purple clay pot.

Of course, Gu Jingzhou is a modern pot making master, and his Tibi group of pots, there are eleven in a group, and if they are apportioned, the price does not seem to be expensive. The most expensive single purple clay pot is the work of ancient masters, such as the auction of the circle twist pot made by Dabin in the Ming Dynasty, and the transaction price was as high as more than 13 million.

In addition, there is a pumpkin pot made by Chen Mingyuan in the Qing Dynasty, which can be worth more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars at auction......

Although Pei Hongquan is also a master, he is definitely not as good as the above people. However, his title of lion ball king is not for nothing, it is the accumulation of three or four generations.

The first generation of lion ball kings, that is Jiang Zuchen, a pot-making expert in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. He is very good at antique vessels, especially with a hand of relief decoration skills, the creation of lion balls, lion lamps, lion seat series pots, deeply loved by the people, so there is the title of lion ball king.

The second lion ball king, but Pei Hongquan's grandfather, Pei Shimin, who has the second reputation of Chen Mingyuan...... (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
