Chapter 313: Such a Piece of Material
Of course, Lin Huanting had also heard of the Chenghua Doucai Tianzi Jar, she didn't expect that Tang Yi would really pick up a leak in Zhiyutang, and it was not an ordinary leak, it was the "Tianzi No. 1" leak!
This Chenghua Doucai Tianzi jar has indeed been very precious. Emperor Qianlong was very careful with it.
In the summer of the ninth year of Qianlong, the Yangxin Palace Manufacturing Office issued a Tianzi jar with a missing glaze to the famous pottery supervisor Tang Ying, and asked Tang Ying to repair the glaze.
What did Emperor Qianlong say? "If you make it up, make it up and send it. If you can't make it up, you don't have to make it up, and you still send it. This is a message, and it also carries the word "Qin this".
Tang Ying was so nervous that he couldn't do it, so he brought this unglazed Tianzi jar back to the porcelain capital and studied it for a few months. In the end, he imitated the original, made a total of three pairs, the original jar did not dare to move, and was sent back to the palace together with the imitation.
How does he explain it? Roughly speaking, I don't dare to make up for it presumptuously, the emperor, I made three pairs as they were, and the emperor appreciated it, see what it was?
Emperor Qianlong read this recital, picked up a pen and wrote the word "lan" on it, and the matter passed.
Nowadays, there are more than a dozen complete Tianzi jars in the world, and the Tianzi jars collected by major museums can be found.
There is still a mystery to be solved in this Tianzi jar. What's that for? Some people say that it is a drinking utensil, because the shape is indeed very similar; Some people say that it is used for sacrifice, and the word "heaven" is written to sacrifice to the sky. However, there is no unified statement, and there is basically no conclusive evidence for all kinds of inferences.
No matter what it does, it's worth a lot of money.
Even the market value of the shaved Tianzi jar is well documented.
In 2000, a shaved head jar was auctioned at a major auction in London.
The term "shaving the head" is very widespread in the antique circle, and things without a cover can be called shaving, and if the top is damaged, it can also be called shaving after being artificially trimmed and polished. The shaved head jar at the London auction has no lid, and the mouth edge has been artificially smoothed because of damage, which can really be said to be a "big shaved head".
Just such a thing, it is incomplete, it is damaged, it is smoothed out, it is all tossed like this, or more than ten years ago, how much did it cost?
Ten million!
Tang Yi's piece, but there is no lid, and more than ten years have passed, if this is auctioned, it is easy to turn over a few heels, there is no problem at all. If you are lucky, it is not impossible for someone to continue to compete after more than 100 million!
Moreover, the market value is only one aspect, and the great artistic charm of the Tianzi jar is irresistible to all porcelain lovers.
The market has a price, but no matter how rich you are, this thing is extremely rare, and you may not be able to touch it if you have money! The museum can only be separated by a glass cover, and it is really a luxury to be able to get started. That's why this black fat boss is so excited, he actually cleaned up a Tianzi jar with his own hands!
Don't say that he won't collect money, even if he sticks money upside down, he's willing to do it!
Seeing that the black fat boss had already admired it several times, Tang Yi couldn't drag it out any longer. For obsessed people, this thing may not be enough to watch for three days and three nights, and it is really a bit dangerous to put it in the store like this. He said hello to the fat black boss, and then carefully put the Tianzi jar into the brocade box, put it in the plastic bag, and carefully put it away.
Tang Yi held it firmly with his hand before he said to the black fat boss: "Money must be given." It's not that I'm polite to you, when you meet such a baby, you should want to scatter money, and if you don't accept it, you just don't want to be happy? ”
"Good! I'm stained! The black fat boss's expression was very complicated, like a smile on his eyebrows, and like a frown and sigh.
Tang Yi took out three thousand cash and handed it to him.
"We've dealt with each other twice, I don't know what to call it?" The black fat boss took the money purely habitually.
But his heart is turning over the river and the sea, what is this young man doing? In a morning's work, in the antique market, two pieces of porcelain were taken one after another, and some so-called collectors may not be able to receive one of these two pieces of porcelain in their lifetime. Especially this Tianzi jar, this luck is simply against the sky, and ・・・・・・, "My name is Tang Yi, what do you call it, boss?" Tang Yi actually didn't expect that he would be so lucky this time.
However, how can luck be explained?
"Fish swimming, carp fish, swimming swimming." The black fat boss said, took out a business card and handed it to Tang Yi.
This business card is very special, with a line on the top that reads: Collectors, and a middle line that reads: Yuyong, and only a mobile phone number below.
"Brother Yu, why don't you leave the address of your store on your business card?" Tang Yi took the business card.
"I have other business cards, but this kind of business card is for friends." The black fat boss smiled, "Send me a text message when you have time, I know your mobile phone number." ”
"Okay, today's situation is special, I have to say goodbye quickly and visit another day." Tang Yi said, already taking a step.
Yu Yong nodded again and again, "It's really a blessing to meet today, and I will definitely have a good chat another day." ”
"This gentleman, you really came to wash, did you wash?" At this moment, the white-faced store manager of Zhiyutang actually walked in.
"Washed." Tang Yi smiled, "You actually came along!" ”
The white-faced store manager, after Tang Yi left, thought about it, although he couldn't say anything, but he always felt that something was wrong, and finally walked out of Zhiyutang when it was close to noon, and after turning for a while, he found Tang Yi here.
"Didn't you say you'd like to show me after washing?" The white-faced store manager saw Tang Yi firmly grasping the bag in his hand, and thought to himself, if it was something good, he would definitely open it to me impatiently, so secretive, there must be nothing good.
"I said that, but I've changed my mind now, please get out of the way!" Tang Yi said "get out of the way" in his mouth, but in fact, he turned sideways to avoid the white-faced store manager and walked out of the store directly.
"What the hell! Keep up appearances! The white-faced store manager looked at the backs of Tang Yi and Lin Huanting leaving, and said disdainfully. After that, he was ready to turn around and leave.
"Wait!" Yu Yong walked in front of the white-faced store manager.
The white-faced store manager glanced at Yu Yong, his heart suddenly moved, and he didn't ask Yu Yong why he asked him to "wait", but said, "I said, what did he wash out in your store?" ”
Yu Yong's expression was suddenly very solemn, and there was a slight chill, which instantly subverted the image of a modest and easy-going craftsman just now. He didn't answer the white-faced store manager's question, but asked coldly, "Are you Cai Fengfeng, the store manager of Zhiyutang?" ”
"You know me?" The white-faced store manager was a little surprised, but then he thought about it, Zhiyutang was so famous, and it was not surprising that someone in the market knew him, "Yes, I am." ”
"Xiao Liu said that you have excellent eyesight and are good at management, I didn't expect it to be such a piece of material!" Yu Yong sneered.
