Chapter 460: The Secret of the Firewood Kiln
"That's all? You mean it's not enough? Jiang Yingnian's eyes suddenly became a little curious, "Could it be that what else do you want?" β
"Nothing, I just wanted you to answer me two questions." Tang Yi smiled slightly.
"Oh?" Jiang Yingnian, who scolded Fang Xuan just now, groaned.
This request seems very simple, you just ask me and I can answer. However, if Tang Yi asked about something confidential, he couldn't answer it. And Tang Yi also said that it was two questions, and it seemed that he had been prepared for a long time, which made Jiang Yingnian feel a little surprised.
"How?" Director Jiang said that in order to regulate the antique market, for this long-term plan, there must be huge support for the things I lead, and the two questions can't be answered? Tang Yi still had a smile on his face.
"Good! You ask! However, what can't be answered still can't be answered, and this can't be used as a bargaining chip for our cooperation. Jiang Yingnian finally nodded.
"The first question is, why was the Special Antiquities Collection Office called 0503 before?" Tang Yi did not pause.
"You kid!" Jiang Yingnian looked at Tang Yi with a smile on his face, and suddenly realized that Tang Yi had decided to agree to him. These two questions should be similar to this question, or relatively easy to answer.
"In fact, it's not so mysterious, 0503 was established on May 3, 1953, and it was temporarily named like this, mainly to investigate, collect, and study special, significant, and rare ancient objects and documents. Later, as the Chinese antique market became more and more open, it changed its name and began to participate in the identification and extended investigation of some cultural relics violations and crimes. Jiang Yingnian said very slipperily.
Tang Yi looked at the time, it was almost 12 o'clock at noon, "Director Jiang, you have answered three questions." Do you want to take care of a meal at noon? β
"You haven't asked the second question yet?" Jiang Yingnian was a little vigilant.
"The second question is simpler, Lu Zhixing was invited to the antiquities base back then, was you invited at that time?" Tang Yi asked, as if talking to himself, "That was more than twenty years ago, I'm afraid you didn't climb so fast." β
Jiang Yingnian smiled, "At that time, I was indeed not the person in charge of the antiquities base, but I already worked here. At that time, these people were invited to help identify some antiquities of unknown origin, and at the same time, they also laid a good foundation for relations with these people. It took a lot of effort to contact these people. β
"It seems that you have a lot of good things here, Lu Zhixing should be fascinated, and he has been here for several years." Tang Yi was thoughtful.
"Stop, you can't visit just yet. When the opportunity is ripe, I'll open your eyes. As soon as Jiang Yingnian heard Tang Yi say this, he immediately waved his hand, "Visiting the antiquities in the base is not up to me alone, it requires a lot of procedures." β
Tang Yi naturally understood, "Well, I really want to see the real giant sword that you said about the firewood kiln string pattern, if you have the opportunity, don't forget to arrange it." β
"That's where it goes, and there's going to be a lot of things you want to see. There's definitely a chance. However, Lu Zhixing was not just fascinated by these antiquities. He discovers a secret. Jiang Yingnian looked at Tang Yi and seemed to be smiling.
"Oh?" Tang Yi smiled: "You don't want to invite me to dinner." This secret won't be told for two hours, will it? β
"It's not that complicated, he discovered the secret of the azure glaze of the firewood kiln, but it was useless to find it, there is a material that can no longer be found." Jiang Yingnian said.
Tang Yi secretly thought, no wonder Lu Zhixing made a piece of porcelain imitation of a firewood kiln, but after all, it lacked a little taste, otherwise he would not have given it to a stranger, thinking that he wanted to drink at that time, he must have been very disappointed.
"What material?" Tang Yi couldn't help but blurt out another while thinking. Lu Zhixing didn't tell him about it, so he might not be hopeful.
"A legendary magical plant, just like this Wuyang Immortal Vine, but it's extinct!" Jiang Yingnian replied.
It's extinct again! Tang Yi's heart fluttered for a while, recently this is a barrage with a peerless plant. But you're done, and since it's extinct, why not tell me?
Tang Yi had to ask again, "What kind of plant is it?" β
"This plant is called Sanwei Fire Armor, which has fire properties, and is added to the prepared glaze juice, when the firewood kiln is fired, the fire performance is fully exerted, and the impurities are melted away, so that the firewood kiln can have the transparent effect of cloud breaking the sky, but unfortunately, it was extinct in the early Qing Dynastyγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Jiang Yingnian said as he spoke, and suddenly saw Tang Yi grow his mouth, as if he had swallowed an egg raw.
"What? Do you know the Loose Tail Fire Armor too? Jiang Yingnian asked instead.
"What?" Tang Yi was stunned.
"I just asked you, do you know about this plant?" Jiang Yingnian repeated it again.
"Uhγ»γ»γ»γ»γ» I've heard of it, isn't it Yuan Chonghuan who set up a formation and severely damaged the plants used by Nurhachi? The Qing soldiers entered the customs and vigorously eradicated it, so it became extinct. Tang Yi knocked on his forehead.
Jiang Yingnian looked at Tang Yi, "I know a lot!" Boy. β
"That γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Lu Zhixing back then, he only studied the wood-kiln string pattern bottle, and he could deduce that there was a scattered tail fire armor in the glaze recipe?" Tang Yi continued to ask.
"He's been working hard for years! In addition to the string-patterned bottle, we also have a fragment of a firewood kiln, and there are also a large number of ancient books for him to consult! When he finally figured out the recipe, he was disappointed to find that the Scattered Tail Fire Armor was extinct, and left the antiquities base shortly after. Jiang Yingnian explained.
"Ohγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Tang Yi nodded slowly, thinking that there were still eight scattered tail fire armors in this Chongzhen Vault, so let's not talk about this matter for the time being.
At this time, Tang Yi forcibly suppressed the fire in his heart. With these eight scattered tail fire armors, it means that Lu Zhixing is very likely to make a fake and real high-imitation firewood kiln! If the advertised genuine product appears in the antique world, it will be no less than a magnitude 10 earthquake!
Even if it appears as a high-quality imitation artwork, it will definitely set off stormy waves!
This matter, no matter what, you have to sink down and think about it.
"Okay, Director Jiang, we're done talking about business, let's go to dinner." Tang Yi tried to relax his expression as much as possible.
Jiang Yingnian didn't have any doubts about Tang Yi's subtle gaffe, after all, he was sure that the Scattered Tail Fire Armor was extinct, and it was normal to have this reaction when he heard the secret of the firewood kiln.
"The single room in the cafeteria has been prepared, and I will eat with the three of you, as well as Xiao Zeng. Keep my business card, we will mainly contact us by phone in the future! Jiang Yingnian said, walking towards the door.
"Huh? Didn't you say you could only see two people today? Tang Yi followed behind and suddenly asked.
