Chapter 269: Sitting on the Treasure Mountain and Not Knowing
Hearing this, his father said a little anxiously: "However, Wang Kan didn't make any mistakes." ”
"Lao Wang, in the eyes of the leader, ineffective handling is the biggest fault." Uncle Qiu shook his head and said, "I don't care, anyway, I should retire honorably after two more years, and I'm not afraid of any blame." But Wang Kan is different, he is still very young, and he is on the rise, so he can't leave a bad impression in the hearts of the leaders. Otherwise, you will miss out on many opportunities. ”
's father is also from a government unit, so he naturally understands that Uncle Qiu is not lying.
Within the system, it is easy to promote a person, and it is even easier to suppress a person. Sometimes, it may be because of an ordinary thing, or an unintentional word, that it is appreciated by the leader and soars. Of course, it is also possible to be suppressed for the same reason and sit in the office for the rest of your life.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, everything is for the future of their children. At the right time, my father sighed helplessly: "Lao Qiu, I was persuaded by you again." ”
"Lao Wang, it's not that I persuaded you, but that you think through yourself." Uncle Qiu said with a smile, in life, there are always many fetters, and no one can get around them.
The father shook his head lightly, and then said: "Lao Qiu, this vat of wine is not only two hundred catties, I have to keep twenty or thirty catties myself, and the rest can be taken away for you." ”
"No problem." Uncle Qiu said slyly: "The sealed vat, the wine has been stored for decades, and it is very normal to concentrate some of it." However, do you want to give me a little hush money? ”
"Got it, I'll give you two catties when I go back." The father didn't have a good breath, and then turned back and greeted: "Wang Guan, take a big bottle to fill the wine." ”
Wang Guan frowned slightly, he saw this matter in his eyes, and he was a little disgusted in his heart, but seeing that his father had already agreed, he couldn't directly oppose it. I had to make a discount and said, "Dad." There is no need to sell all the wine, just keep a hundred catties and sell a hundred catties. ”
Father listened. There is also a little bit of interest.
"Lao Wang, you have promised to come down, but you can't go back."
I didn't expect it to be extraneous branches. Uncle Qiu was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "I said that it was two hundred catties, but now I only bring one hundred catties back, and the leader will definitely not be happy." ”
At the same time, Uncle Qiu said solemnly: "Wang Guan, this matter is related to your brother's future, and it can't be discounted casually." ”
"If you sell the wine, my brother will be promoted immediately." Wang Guan asked rhetorically.
"Uh......"
Uncle Qiu immediately fell silent, he didn't dare to guarantee it. After a long time. He frowned and said: "Selling wine definitely doesn't guarantee his promotion; But if he doesn't sell alcohol, maybe he won't be promoted in the future. ”
"Whatever. Anyway, it's a mixed system. If you don't have connections, you can't rise to a high position. Wang Guan said casually. He can now have a lot of money, and he is naturally very confident in speaking.
Uncle Qiu frowned, feeling that he had no common language with the young man, turned his head to look at his father, and said impatiently: "Lao Wang, you give me a quasi-word, whether the thing is sold or not?" ”
"Sell!" The father gritted his teeth and nodded, "Take it away." ”
"Dad......"
Wang Guan tried to persuade him, but his father ignored him and went straight forward to move the vat. At this time, the ash chips on the surface of the vat fell like snowflakes.
The king looked over, and suddenly noticed a dark cyan luster appearing on the surface of the vat.
Suddenly, Wang Guan was stunned, hurriedly approached and looked at it, touched it lightly, and hurriedly shouted: "Dad, you wait, let me see it clearly." ”
"What's wrong?" The father was a little puzzled and stopped moving.
Wang Guan didn't answer, just quickly took a rag, and then gently wiped it on the cylinder. Every time I wiped it, a large cloud of ash scraped off. If you look closely, you will see that the dust is actually a layer of patent leather. It's just that due to the age, the patent leather has fallen off a little, and it will fall off with a light touch.
"What is this kid doing?"
At the beginning, my father and Uncle Qiu were a little baffled. But after a few minutes, the two of them were suddenly surprised, only to see that all the ashes on the vat had been wiped clean, showing the true appearance of the vat.
On the whole vat, there is a pattern of blue and white cloud dragon pattern dragon playing in the tide. The glaze is verdant and bright, and the two green dragons soar in the fluttering auspicious clouds, which is solemn and very solemn.
"Blue and white cloud dragon pattern vat."
At the right time, Wang Guan carefully looked at the blue and white hair color and dragon pattern on the tank, and only after a long time did he raise his head and smile: "Uncle Qiu, you just said how much money the big boss is willing to spend on this vat of wine?" ”
"Two hundred thousand." Uncle Qiu said in a daze, and he vaguely felt the extraordinaryness of this vat.
"Less, too far behind." Wang Guan shook his head and smiled: "Two hundred thousand, is a fraction." Without five million, don't try to take this jar out of my house. ”
"What?"
For a while, not only Uncle Qiu, but also his father was dumbfounded. After half a ring, his father frowned and said, "Ah Guan, even if you are reluctant to drink this wine, you can't talk nonsense." ”
"I didn't talk nonsense."
Wang Guan sighed a little: "Dad, I only know now that our family is sitting on Baoshan without knowing it." ”
"What do you mean?" The father was stunned, immediately reacted, pointed to the vat, and subconsciously whispered: "You mean, this vat is a good thing?" ”
"Of course." Wang Guan nodded vigorously, his fingers gently slid over the cylinder, feeling the lustrous charm that had been precipitated for hundreds of years, and at the same time asked with a smile: "Dad, is our ancestor a big official or something, otherwise how could there be such a family heirloom." ”
"What kind of official, our ancestors have been poor peasants for eight generations, and they have been commended back then." The father said, also a little suspicious: "However, this thing is indeed left by your grandfather, it has been decades, and it can be regarded as an antique." ”
"What a few decades, at least five hundred years." Wang Guan said: "If I am not mistaken, this vat should be something from the Jiajing and Longqing periods of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Something from the Ming Dynasty?" The father was amazed, "How do you know?" ”
"You can make a judgment by looking at the dragon pattern and the characteristics of blue and white." Wang Guan explained: "In the Ming Dynasty, in the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli periods, the dragon pattern took various forms, but it was not as good as before. The painting work was simple and sloppy, just like the political and economic recession of the society at that time, which seemed old and weak. ”
"There is also to look at the blue and white glaze, the blue and white of that period is made of green material, after firing, the color is a special purple and blue, and there is also a light black and gray state. However, looking at the blue and white tones of this vat, the orchid is purple, thick and gorgeous, and very beautiful. So I suspect that this is something from the Longqing period. ”
Wang Guan talked eloquently, and when he looked back, he saw his father and Uncle Qiu confused, and their eyes were blank, and he knew that they didn't understand at all.
Bai explained, Wang Guan sighed, and said helplessly: "Anyway, you just need to know that the blue and white color of porcelain in the Longqing period is the most beautiful color in the middle and late Ming Dynasty." ”
"Oh......"
The father nodded ignorantly, but at least he knew that the vat in front of him was definitely not an ordinary thing.
At this time, Uncle Qiu thought of Wang Guan's words, and said with some doubts: "It's just a jar, can it be worth five million?" ”
"It's not worth it."
Wang Guan said casually: "Uncle Qiu, you can't measure ancient times with modern craftsmanship. You must know that this kind of huge vat was difficult to fire in ancient times. Because the shape of the large vat is huge, a kiln can only burn one or two large vats, in addition to the very strict requirements of technology and fire, the consumption of firewood is also very huge, so only the official kiln has the strength to burn. In fact, it is clear by looking at the dragon pattern on the cylinder, which is a symbol of the royal family, indicating that this is something that only emperors can use. ”
"The things used by the emperor are no wonder they are so valuable." Uncle Qiu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Actually, this kind of vat has a special name, called the Dragon Tank." Wang Guan smiled and asked, "Do you know what the purpose of this dragon jar is?" ”
My father guessed with interest, "Use it for water." ”
"Filling water is just one of the functions." Wang Guan smiled: "However, more often it is used to raise goldfish." ”
"Raising goldfish? That's right. ”
Uncle Qiu shook his head in disbelief: "This tank is so thick and not transparent, how can you raise goldfish." I think that since he is the emperor, he should raise goldfish in a large pond or a crystal vat. ”
"Uncle Qiu, you take it for granted."
Wang Guan explained: "You will know if you check the information, there was no transparent glass tank cabinet in ancient times, whether it was a dignitary or an ordinary person, it was a goldfish raised in an opaque pot. Do you know why goldfish have become weird with big heads and big eyes? That's due to the fact that when goldfish were raised in ancient times, they took a bird's-eye view to appreciate it. ”
The ancients looked down at the goldfish in the basin and felt that the goldfish with a big head, big eyes and a big belly swam in the basin and tank, with soothing movements and beautiful posture, which was very good-looking. Therefore, continuous cultivation has brought the goldfish into its current appearance. ”
Wang Guan smiled: "If there was a transparent glass tank in ancient times, and the goldfish were viewed from a level-level angle, then the mutation direction of the goldfish should be another shape." ”
At this time, Uncle Qiu listened to the explanation, and didn't believe it, or didn't believe it, just looked down at the vat, and sighed: "Good thing, if this thing is true, your family will make a fortune." ”
"Hehe, what kind of fortune to make, these are Ah Guan's guesses, maybe he was wrong." The father waved his hand and said, after all, he didn't know Wang Guan's ability, and he was somewhat skeptical.
However, whether it is true or not, this vat doesn't look like an ordinary thing anyway, and Uncle Qiu also believes a little, so naturally it is not good to force the vat to be carried away.
Of course, Uncle Qiu also knows how to be flexible, and he has not forgotten that his main purpose is wine, not a tank.
In this regard, Wang Guan has no opinion, after all, it is still the vat that is the most important. As for the wine in the vat, his father agreed to it, and he didn't bother to object to it.
"Wait, I'm going to buy a new vat for wine."
While speaking, Uncle Qiu left. However, more than 20 minutes later, Uncle Qiu rushed into Wang Guan's house with dozens of people......
