When Li Yi and the two walked into the living room, the general outline of Zhong Qi's painting had already come out, and all that was left was to correct it again, and then they could try to apply color.

"Thank you, Brother Zhong, you can take this photo back and draw it slowly, there is no hurry in this matter."

Zhong Qi looked at his expression, then at Li Yi, and cleverly packed up his things,

"Then I'll take it back and trim it well, I can take it out tomorrow, and let Li Yi send it to you when the time comes."

"Well, I'm sorry, I suddenly have an urgent matter to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and after this period of time, I will definitely invite you to have a good drink."

Sending the two away, Wang Haoqing also went straight to Nanyuan Airport, where a special plane had been prepared for him, and Zhoutai had almost mobilized all the relevant forces to help him find the whereabouts of Brother Long and his son.

In the car, Zhong Qi glanced at Li Yi, who was a little distracted, and asked:

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"It's not a big deal, Brother Wang just learned the whereabouts of a family member and is in a hurry to find him."

"Oh."

Zhong Qi nodded, although he knew that things were not so simple, but since Li Yi was unwilling to say, there was no need for him to ask more.

Sending Zhong Qi away, Li Yi returned to Yan Garden, walked around the room for a while, and suddenly saw the fish tank that used to have blister eyes, but now it has always been empty, frowned, since he didn't want to do anything, it was better to buy a few more fish to raise.

It's still the Shilihe Aquarium Market, or the store last time, Li Yi wandered around for a long time, and selected five three-color butterfly tails and six purple and white dragon's eyes, these two kinds of fish, respectively, ranked ninth and tenth among the world's top ten precious goldfish, Li Ma also raised them, but he didn't raise them.

After looking at it, he felt that there were still a few missing, and he was wandering around trying to buy a few more for two varieties, when suddenly, a voice came from the door, which immediately attracted his attention.

"Brother Huang, I brought the fish, you can help me take a look, what kind of illness is this, hemp eggs, overnight, several will not work!"

The fish is here? How big is a fish?

Li Yi looked at the door with great interest, and before he finished speaking, he saw a sturdy young man swaying in, but what he was holding in his arms was not a fish, but a huge fish tank!

It's just that this fish tank is different from the glass fish tank we usually see, it is a wide-mouth shallow-bottomed blue and white ceramic fish tank with a diameter of about 50 cm and a depth of only more than 30 cm!

"Oh, why did you bring the fish tank too? There's still so much water, isn't it sinking? ”

"Isn't there no way? There are always dead fish, and sometimes the water in this tank is green after just two days, I checked on the Internet and said that the water is too fat, but ...... Anyway, this time I made up my mind, just bring the cylinder over and see if it can be solved, if it still doesn't work, I'll change the cylinder! ”

The boss named Brother Huang stretched out his head to look at the fish in the tank, then leaned on his stomach and sniffed the smell, nodded, and said:

"Your water is indeed fat, and there are too many algae, so there is not enough oxygen in the water, and the fish are always floating. And you can't add a tank filter like you, so why don't you just change the tank! Fresh water tanks, cheap, like such a big one, only a thousand dollars, a few less dead fish and everything comes back. ”

The young man hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Do you want to take this tank?"

Brother Huang smiled bitterly,

"Who still uses this kind of tank to raise fish now? Come on, I'll give you a cheaper price later, this tank, you better take it back and raise flowers. ”

"Okay, then let's change this, change it now, maybe these fish can be saved."

After speaking, the two of them began to toss, and after a while, five or six small goldfish were replaced in a new glass fish tank.

"You fish, two of them have white spot disease, you take a box of Cody white spot water, add it according to the instructions above, I think the fish is in good spirits, maybe you can save it."

Brother Huang stood next to the glass fish tank and looked at it a few times, turned around and took a box of medicine full of English letters and handed it to the young man, the young man took it and looked at it carefully, while Li Yi walked to the fish tank he bought, looked at it twice, suddenly raised his eyebrows, simply squatted down directly, and looked carefully.

This fish tank has a very regular shape, with a flat bottom, folded edges, straight walls, and a convex edge on the outer wall.

The bottom of the fish tank is a picture of the blue and white Loutai River, after wiping off a layer of sticky substances attached to the long-term water, you can see that the blue and white are bright blue and verdant, clear and gorgeous, clear and not muddy, gaudy but not vulgar, and its characteristics are very similar to the use of the "pearl material" of Nanyun Province to be fired. And this kind of blue and white material, in history, should only be used in large quantities in the early and middle Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.

After careful inspection, Li Yi found that the color of the blue and white sea water pattern at the fold edge and the four seasons flower pattern around the outer wall all have this characteristic. Moreover, these pictures are rich in a strong sense of hierarchy and three-dimensionality, especially the picture of the river at the bottom of the tank, which is even more distinct in shades and shades, just like a carefully painted ink painting, which is an important feature of the blue and white water separation method

The water separation method is a technique that uses the shade of blue and white itself to create a sense of hierarchy and three-dimensionality. In this method, the amount of material is the key, the material is thick, and the material is light, and the master craftsman is using this principle to separate the simple blue and white colors, so as to create an effect similar to the five colors. Among them, the masters of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty can even distinguish seven or even nine colors on the same artifact!

Gently tapping the cylinder with his hand, Li Yi got up and asked:

"You have this vat to deal with? How to sell? ”

The young man had just noticed that Li Yi was looking at the vat, and when he heard him inquire at this moment, he couldn't help but be a little excited.

"This big tank has been in our house for decades, and a while ago I wanted to buy a fish tank to raise fish, but my grandfather moved it out......"

Seeing Li Yi looking at him with a smile, the young man was a little embarrassed, just now he wanted to deal with it to the boss, and now he said so, no wonder people didn't believe it.

He scratched his scalp, looked at the big tank on the ground, and then at the fish tank he had just chosen, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he lifted the big tank up.

"Look, there is still a Kangxi Xinhai Zhonghetang system written under this tank, this thing, maybe it's really an antique! Well...... Well, buddy, if you really want to, how about you settle the account for my new fish tank? ”

"That's a bit expensive, isn't it?"

Li Yi casually negotiated the price, and at the same time quickly took the big vat over, pretended to look at the money at the bottom of the tuck, and carefully put the vat on the ground.

The young man lifted the vat just now, which startled him a lot, he was really afraid that this guy's hand would slip and make it brittle, because the young man didn't know the preciousness of this porcelain, but he was a clear door.

The blue and white ware of the Kangxi Dynasty itself is very precious, and because of the craftsmanship, it is extremely rare to have such a large size. Originally, when he didn't see the words Zhonghetang, Li Yi estimated that this vat could be sold for at least more than 30 million, but now, he estimates that the value of this blue and white vat may exceed 50 million!

The reason is very simple, it is because of the three words Zhonghetang that he just saw. According to records, Zhonghetang was one of the early residences of the Kangxi Emperor, so during that period, all those with "Zhonghetang" in the style were likely to be the imperial porcelain fired by the official kiln in the early Kangxi Dynasty!

"It's not expensive, is it? Brother Huang, how much is this fish tank? ”

"It was originally 2500, but you will be given 2000, 2000."

The young man turned his head and was about to say more, when Li Yi stretched out a finger,

"I can only give you 1,000 at most for this fish tank, in fact, this price is ...... Forget it, I'll think about it again. ”

Although compared to the value of this mackerel tank, 2,000 yuan is not even a hair, but Li Yi did not dare to relax at all, because once they became suspicious, it was not a matter of more money and less money, but that he couldn't take this fish tank with him at all!

As soon as he heard that Li Yi actually had the intention of repenting, the young man was anxious,

"Don't mind buddy, a thousand is a thousand, just make a friend! In addition, let me tell you, your 1,000 dollars are definitely worth it......"

Seeing that the young man had a tendency to incarnate as a Tang monk, Li Yi pretended to shake his head helplessly, counted out a thousand yuan from his wallet and handed it to him, and then paid the account for the 11 fish just now, let Hongchen pick up the big tank, and the fish didn't buy it, turned around and walked out of the market, stopped a taxi, and returned directly to Yanyuan.

Putting the fish into the fish tank, Li Yi brought the blue and white vat he had just bought to the bathroom. After washing it, I took it to the balcony and turned it upside down, and then stared at the vat and pondered.

Originally, the safe he bought was not small, but since he put more than a dozen of the more than 6,000 pieces of porcelain that he wanted back from the customs, he couldn't hold other things, not to mention that he also brought back a lot of treasures from Taiwan and Hangzhou, and gambled back a few priceless crystals from the East China Sea, and now, he has to add this big vat...... What to do?

After the customs incident, Li Yi had already made up his mind to build his own treasure room abroad, and this matter, with Lu Ningshuang's return to France, had already been put on his agenda.

However, the treasure room was prepared by him for the treasures he found abroad in the future, but he did not plan to ship them out again in China.

But if he doesn't transport it out, he will often run away and disappear, and there is often no one at home......

"Hongchen, how are your comrades-in-arms contacted?"

"Oh, three agreed to come over and help, and two more hesitated. Brother Yi, you see when that thing starts, and I can give someone a letter. ”

"Hmm...... In this way, those three who agree to come, you let them come first, I will arrange for two to go into Mr. Wang's factory to learn something, and the remaining one will come over to help you, so that when we go out in the future, there will be no one at home......"

PS: I walked around with my children in the morning, and went back to Beijing in the afternoon, tossing and dying (to be continued.) )
