Tang Yi didn't speak, but responded to Qin Lao with a warm gaze.

Qin Lao thought about it for a while, and finally flipped his wrist and looked at the bottom.

"Crippled ・・・・・・" Qin Lao frowned, as if he felt a little pity, but when his gaze fell on the bottom paragraph, surprise suddenly appeared in his expression.

"Snails! It's actually a snail ・・・・・・."

With that, Qin Lao picked up the small bowl, walked to the bright place where the sun was shining, and studied it carefully.

Under the reflection of the sun, the warm white glaze becomes more fat, and the red Pisces hair color is more gorgeous, and the light and shadow flow as if they are swimming in a plate.

"It's a pity! If it weren't for a few small pieces left at the bottom of the circle, this small plate would really be called the best. Tang Ying only began to learn porcelain making when he was in his fifties, and he has reached the peak in a short period of time. However, fortunately, it was only injured on the bottom foot, and it did not affect the view. Qin Lao flipped the small plate, and his fingers gently stroked the word "snail send", thoughtfully.

"How much money did you pick up?" Qin Laofu asked again.

"Well, actually, it was originally Wan Ting who bought the blue and white pen holder, and then I added another thousand yuan." Tang Yi said.

"What?!" Qin Lao exclaimed, "Tang Ying's homemade superlative, he actually let you take it down like this?!" ”

"After all, it's a remnant ・・・・・・" Although Tang Yi was unwilling to face it, it was an inevitable fact after all.

"This is not an ordinary remnant, firstly, it is just a tiny gap in the bottom, and secondly, in recent years, there has never been anything that Tang Ying made and deliberately set aside such a bottom style, this small plate, if it is auctioned, if I set the starting price, it will not be less than one million, and if the competition is fierce, it is not impossible to auction millions." Qin Lao said.

Tang Ying is indeed a legendary figure in the history of ceramics, his thirty years as a pottery supervisor is the peak of Qing Dynasty porcelain, and after his death, Qing Dynasty porcelain went downhill. Tang kiln, this is not a title that can be added casually. In the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, a Tang kiln and a Lang kiln were all fine products in the official kilns.

Many of the Qianlong official kilns were fired under the auspices of Tang Ying, and they are not rare to see on the market. However, Tang Ying's self-made utensils with a special base are really rare!

Take this object as an example, a small plate with a diameter of only a dozen centimeters is still broken, and the starting price can be set at one million!

Mao Zhu hissed and gasped, turned to look at Tang Yi, and couldn't help but secretly admire this classmate in his heart.

"No wonder you're so excited to come to me, it turns out to be something from your old family!" Qin Lao said with a smile. This is naturally a joke, Tang Ying and Tang Yi are both surnamed Tang, but they are incompatible. Tang Yi didn't answer, thinking to himself, Old Qin was joking like this, there must be something to follow.

Sure enough, Qin Lao took a sip of tea, and then said, "This year's autumn auction of the Pangutang has entered the preparation stage, this time it is mainly a special sale of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, if you want to sell this small plate, you might as well give it a try." ”

"So, no matter how good it is, then thank you Elder Qin." Tang Yi replied after a little thought. This glaze red pisces small plate, if it is sold in the Gebao store, it will definitely not be as profitable as the auction, and since Qin Lao has spoken, this kind of good thing with the best of both worlds, Tang Yi has no reason not to agree.

Moreover, Qin Lao has already said that the starting price of one million will definitely not be lower than this number.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to go to you when I go back, fill out the slip, and take away the small plate." Qin Lao smiled.

"Old Qin, you are too polite, stay with you now, just go back and find someone to make it up to me." Tang Yi hurriedly waved his hand, "I still have other things here, it's quite heavy, what if I bring it back and accidentally break it on the road?" ”

Elder Qin glanced at Tang Yi. Tang Yi's expression was resolute, and there was no joke on his face. Qin Lao suddenly smiled: "Something else? Could it be that you have more than one treasure? ”

"Mainly I bought some books and a red lacquerware."

"Well, you still have to read more books, and it is beneficial to open the book. Red lacquerware? What age? ”

"I think it's a general product of the Republic of China, just buy it and play it." It's not that Tang Yi doesn't want to tell SΓΉ Qin to be honest, it's just that this piece of lacquerware is a complete vessel, and he can't see any clues from the appearance, he doesn't know how to explain it, and he can't say that he bought it when he saw the black treasure light and inferred that there was a treasure in it, right?

"Since you brought it, let's take a look." Qin Lao said as he put the small plate into the brocade box.

The bag containing the book and the red lacquer cup was next to Mao Zhu, who reached out and took out the box containing the lacquer cup and handed it to Qin Lao.

Qin Lao opened the box and picked up the lacquer cup.

"This lacquer cup is a little weird." Tang Yi didn't expect that as soon as Qin Lao got started, he said so. And he could see that what Qin Lao said was strange was definitely not because of the funnel-like shape of the lacquer cup, which was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

Sure enough, Qin Lao said: "The red carving method matured in the Song and Yuan dynasties and developed in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Judging from the old Cheng dΓΉ and the carving of lacquer, this lacquer cup is indeed a product of the Republic of China. The strange thing is that the craftsmanship of lacquer molding on this lacquer cup is very high, but the carving technique is relatively crude. ”

As soon as Qin Lao said this, Tang Yi faintly had an inference in his heart. At that time, in order to protect the treasure in the lacquerware, this person must have thought about it, and the level of lacquer was high, because he had to be careful to protect the treasure, and the carving process was average, in order not to attract attention.

"Why are you buying this lacquer cup?" Tang Yi was still pondering, but Qin Lao asked again. Qin Lao's meaning couldn't be clearer, just on the surface, this lacquer cup has no value.

"Huh?" Tang Yi suddenly came back to his senses and couldn't help but say casually, "The level of lacquering is so high, could it be that there is something hidden in it?" And the craftsmanship of carving, will it be to hide people's eyes and ears, so that the things hidden in the snow are not easy to be discovered? ”

What Tang Yi said was purely what Qin Lao was thinking about after he said something strange. While he was thinking about it, Qin Lao suddenly asked again, so he really said it casually. After saying that, he regretted it a little, isn't this too far-fetched?

Unexpectedly, Qin Lao nodded seriously, "There is something wrong with the specific gravity, I don't know what tire to use, it feels a little wrong." I only know a little about lacquerware, so I don't dare to say anything. ”

When Tang Yi and Mao Zhu heard this, they were both shocked in their hearts, with Qin Lao's status today, they actually said that they "know a little about fur and dare not speak falsely", so modest and cautious!

"Maybe it's a wooden tire?" Tang Yi groaned, "You might as well open it today and take a look, I originally bought this thing to play, and this lacquerware itself is not a valuable thing." ”

"The craft of this lacquer carving is the technique of the Jiangnan area, where there are many skilled craftsmen, and the lacquerware is not easy to handle, so it can not be hasty. In this way, there is a wood carver in my shop, who is also from Jiangnan, and I asked him to try it. At this time, Qin Lao was also interested in this strange lacquer cup, stood up, and wanted to go to the Pangu Hall with Tang Yi to find a wood carving master.
