PS: It's the third watch, and if you have a monthly pass, please support it, thank you.

After arriving in Yixing, the two wandered around the streets at will.

"Words ......"

While looking at the surrounding environment, Wang Guan also asked: "Decided to come to Tianqing Ni, what should you have a plan, and where do you plan to start?" ”

"Uh......" Xing Qiu hesitated, spread his hands and said, "I don't have any plans, I want to come." ”

"As expected." Wang Guan shook his head and sighed: "You, you are a typical hot-headed and impulsive. ”

"Don't dampen my enthusiasm." Xing Qiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "But I know, you must have a way, right?" Otherwise, it wouldn't be confident......"

"That's why it's your luck." Wang Guan said casually: "Let's go, if you want to find something, go to the pier first." ”

While speaking, Wang Guan casually stopped the car, and after getting in the car, he directly reported an address. The driver nodded slightly, sped off immediately, and drove out of the city shortly after.

Seeing this, Xing Qiu asked softly, "Where are we going?" ”

"Ding Shu." Wang Guan explained: "There are more ceramic workshops there, and the people I want to visit are there. ”

"Who?" Xing Qiu asked curiously.

"Someone I know." Wang Guan shrugged his shoulders and said: "I have said a few words and exchanged contact information, but I don't know if he still remembers me." ”

"Oh." Xing Qiu nodded clearly, knowing that Wang Guan was talking about people he knew in the business field, and he belonged to the nodding friends.

While the two were talking, the driver slowly drove to a small town, and then stopped in one of the more lively streets and alleys of the town. Wang Guan paid the money, beckoned Xingqiu to get out of the car, and then went shopping again.

Fortunately, the town is not big, and after a slow turn, Wang Guan found the destination.

"Spring and Autumn Fang!"

At this time. Xing Qiu looked at it and couldn't help but praise: "The name is pretty good." After all, there is also an autumn character in his name, so it is inevitable that he will love the house and Wu.

"Yes, if you know what the owner's surname is, I guess it feels even better." Wang Guan's words made Xing Qiu very curious: "What is the surname of the workshop owner?" ”

"Ding, Ding Chunqiu's Ding!" Wang Guan chuckled, and then in Xingqiu's stunned expression, he walked in briskly, and shouted at the same time, "Is Boss Ding here?" ”

"Who?" There are also more than a dozen people working in the workshop. Seeing someone coming in, a middle-aged man immediately looked up: "Who is looking for me?" ”

"Boss Ding, it's me." Wang Guan walked over briskly, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for nearly a year since I said goodbye to Longhu Mountain, and I don't know if I still remember me, a junior." ”

"You ......"

The middle-aged man hesitated a little, but suddenly remembered and blurted out: "Li Mo...... Brother Wang. ”

It seems that despite the gap of a year, Li Mo in Wang Guan's hands. There are still people who are worried about it in their hearts, at least they think of Li Mo first, and then they remember Wang Guan.

To be honest, Wang Guan is similar. If it weren't for the fact that he saw Boss Ding take out a delicate purple clay pot made by a master at the treasure fighting meeting last year, after he came to Yixing, I am afraid he would not have thought of coming to Boss Ding.

Remember the baby first. And then remember the person who has the treasure, which is also understandable. So Wang Guan was not surprised, but smiled even more happily: "It's good that Boss Ding remembers." It's really disturbing to come and visit very presumptuously. ”

"Don't bother, welcome to come to me as a guest......" Boss Ding hurriedly greeted. After a few polite sentences, he invited the two of them to walk towards the living room of the workshop.

The living room is more spacious, but because it is a place to work, it is also relatively simple, just a coffee table and a few chairs. However, in front of the living room, there is an offering table, on which a statue of a monk is enshrined.

Seeing this situation, Xing Qiu naturally felt a little surprised, but Wang Guan understood what was going on.

You must know that all walks of life have their own ancestors, for example, the carpenter's ancestor is Lu Ban, the inventor of wine is Yidi or Du Kang, the silk reeling is the wife of the Yellow Emperor, and the Yixing pottery industry is dedicated to Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li.

It is said that after Fan Li helped King Goujian of Yue to destroy Wu, he immediately took the beautiful Xi Shi to retreat, and then started a ceramic business, and finally accumulated a huge amount of money in business, and was naturally regarded as the ancestor of the pottery industry. However, although the purple clay pot belonged to the pottery industry in ancient times, the ancestor who was enshrined was not Fan Li, but a different monk, the first pottery monk.

This part of China is more magical, no matter what it is, it will always be accompanied by a beautiful legend. The purple clay pot is no exception, legend has it that a long, long time ago, there was a strange image of a monk passing through the town of Dingshu, he walked while crazy and asked people if they wanted to buy wealth.

When the average person hears it, they must scoff at it. However, one of the well-informed old potters was moved, and immediately followed the strange monk, and then dug up the colorful ore in the mountain.

The old potter will bring these wonderful five-color ores back to crush, pound and fire, according to the equipment of different muds, the fired products will be colorful and colorful. There are many varieties of pear peel color, begonia red, azure, dark green, black and dark purple. coarse sand, thick and heavy; The fine sand is toned, moist but not greasy, wonderful.

It was from that time that the purple clay pot was separated from the pottery industry and became its own. That strange monk naturally became the ancestor of the purple clay pot industry and was worshiped by everyone.

Of course, this is also the reason, so the purple sand has the other name of five-color mud and rich soil. Under normal circumstances, everyone is still very happy to call Zisha a rich soil, after all, the name is very auspicious and has a profound meaning.

Whether the legend is true or not, no one will compare the truth. Everyone only knows that the discovery of this rich soil has indeed fed many people, so it is natural to worship the people who found this soil. After all, the Chinese still pay more attention to drinking water and thinking about the source, drinking water and not forgetting to dig wells, which is a fine tradition and worth inheriting.

Just like now, Boss Ding serves tea to guests, and Wang Guan and Xingqiu naturally want to express their gratitude verbally.

At the same time, Boss Ding asked tentatively: "Little brother, is this here to play in Yixing?" ”

"Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." Wang Guan smiled embarrassedly: "I came here this time, but I wanted to ask Boss Ding about something." ”

"You say, as long as you can do it, there is absolutely no second word." Boss Ding patted his chest and said, but he was also a little bold.

"Speaking of this, it may make Boss Ding laugh, but there is a reason for it, and I have to come over to investigate." Wang Guan smiled helplessly: "Presumably Boss Ding knows Azure Mud, we are here for it." ”

"Azure mud?" Boss Ding was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief: "If the little brother came for something else, I might be surprised, but for the sake of Azure Mud, I am really not surprised at all." ”

"Let's put it this way, there are more than 20 purple clay pot enterprises in Yixing, more than 1,000 private workshops, and about 350,000 formal employees, and countless people related to it." Boss Ding estimated it, and said with a smile: "Plus the merchants, collectors, and Taobao people who come here, anyway, there are a large number of people, and everyone is looking for azure mud." ”

"Understood." Wang nodded and asked with a smile, "Has anyone found it?" ”

"Someone is said to have found it." Boss Ding smiled.

Xingqiu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" ”

"Calm." Wang Guan shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "It's just said, it's true or false, who can say for sure." ”

"That's right, Brother Wang is worthy of being an expert and understands the meaning of it." Boss Ding smiled: "Let's put it this way, if this brother comes alone and asks me if I have azure mud, then I will definitely tell him that there is!" I have a piece of azure clay, which was handed down by my ancestors, do you want it? ”

Xing Qiu smiled awkwardly, he wasn't really stupid, so he naturally understood the meaning. Is there any, that's the object, you are a layman who wants to buy azure mud, don't pit you?

"Boss Ding is joking again......" Wang Guan smiled and pulled the topic back again: "Even if there is no azure mud, then there should be green mud at the bottom." ”

"It seems that Brother Wang is going to go all the way to the end, and the bottom trough green mud is also a very rare thing." Boss Ding sighed, and then smiled: "But I have some on hand, but the price will not be cheap." ”

"Boss Ding, pay attention, what I want is the bottom trough of Huanglong Mountain." Wang Guan reminded casually.

When Wang Guan said this, it was also very particular. You must know that Huanglong Mountain can be called the cradle of purple sand pots, since the Ming and Qing dynasties purple sand pots were popular, Yixing potters are in Huanglong Mountain to collect purple sand pots. The reason for this must be due to the superior quality of the purple sand in Huanglong Mountain, and the quality of the purple sand pot produced is better.

That is to say, the purple sand mud produced in Huanglong Mountain belongs to the high-quality essence of clay. However, everyone also knows that ore is a non-renewable resource, and after being mined for hundreds of years, there must be fewer and fewer good things. Therefore, in order to protect purple sand resources, the local government has issued a ban on mining.

In this case, the potters had to go elsewhere to mine. However, the purple sand in other places is definitely inferior to the purple sand in Huanglong Mountain in terms of quality. This is the difference between the old pit and the new pit, and the purple clay pot made is different, so it will definitely be differentiated in terms of price, and it cannot be confused.

"Brother Wang is really an expert."

Boss Ding praised from the bottom of his heart, and then sighed: "If you say this, I don't have what you want on hand." And even if there are such things, there will not be many of them. Since it is an extremely scarce mud, people who have such things on hand are probably not willing to sell. ”

"That's right......" Wang Guan nodded lightly.

There was nothing to say about the next situation, Wang Guan continued to talk to Boss Ding, and after chatting for half an hour, he got up and said goodbye. Boss Ding must have stayed, and after some politeness, Wang Guancai and Xing Qiu left the Spring and Autumn Fang.

At the same time, Xingqiu asked, "What now?" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
