After breakfast, Tang Dou drove Qin Jie and Yang Deng to the hospital for a pregnancy test, worked all morning, and got a happy result, Xiaodouzi is very healthy.

Send Qin Jie and Yang Deng home, and tell the good news to a few old men.

During lunch, Tang Dou stubbornly accosted Qian Qianqian, which was purely courteous.

Finally finished eating, Tang Dou saw that the time was almost up, and got up to pick up Xu Lele at the airport.

After receiving Xu Lele and the two Sotheby's staff members who accompanied him, the two sides exchanged a few words of greeting, Tang Dou consulted Xu Lele's opinion and led the three of them directly to the house.

After parking the car in the front yard, Xu Lele instructed the two people accompanying him to wait in the reception room in the front yard, and he took an alloy box from one of them and walked through the courtyard garden with Tang Dou into the backyard.

Under the ginkgo tree in the backyard, Qin Yanpei was playing chess with Qian Cihang, Zhou Lao and Geng Lao were watching the game on the sidelines, Qin Jie, Yang Deng and Qian Qianqian were sitting on rattan chairs in the cloister chatting, a happy and happy family.

Seeing Tang Dou walking in with Xu Lele, Zhou Lao asked with a smile, "Did you bring the luminous cup?" ”

Tang Dou smiled, pointed to Xu Lele and introduced to Zhou Lao: "Master, this is Xu Lele, CEO of Sotheby's Auction House China. Lele, this is my master. ”

Xu Lele handed the box to Tang Dou, held Zhou Lao's hand with both hands and shook it vigorously: "Since I returned to China, I have heard that the two seniors of Beiyang and Nanzhou are famous in the antique shop, Principal Zhou, who is the last to learn, and I will ask you for more advice in the future." ”

Listening to Xu Lele's half-baked Chinese, Elder Zhou smiled: "You should be an overseas Chinese, right?" ”

Xu Lele replied with a smile: "I was born in Manchester, England, and my ancestral home is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. ”

Zhou Lao smiled: "Manchester is a beautiful city, I was invited by the President of Manchester University of Technology Richard to visit Manchester more than ten years ago, and the Chinatown there left a deep impression on me. ”

is worthy of President Zhou, and he found a common topic for the two of them in one sentence.

Xu Lele said with a smile: "My family is in Chinatown, my father opened a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, if Principal Zhou has the opportunity to come to Manchester in the future, please be sure to visit my restaurant, my father will prepare a table of authentic Jiangsu and Zhejiang snacks for you." ”

Zhou Lao smiled and patted Xu Lele: "I will definitely go if I have the opportunity." ”

Tang Dou smiled and introduced Xu Lele to Qin Yanpei, Geng Lao and Qian Cihang, but Tang Dou did not go into too much detail when introducing Qian Cihang, only said that he was an elder.

After the introduction, Tang Dou asked Xu Lele to sit down, and the eyes of several old men were already staring at the alloy box in Tang Dou's hand, Geng Lao was the most cheerful, and he had already pointed to the box and asked: "This box should be filled with the luminous cup, right?" Would the lads mind if they would open the eyes of a few of our old guys? ”

"I can't ask for it." Xu Lele smiled and took the box from Tang Dou's hand.

Tang Dou helped Qin Yanpei and Qian Cihang put away the chessboard on the table, Xu Lele put the box on the table, entered the password and opened the box, revealing a white porcelain cup with a bird and beast pattern three-legged handle wrapped in a soft foam material in the box.

Seeing this cup, the eyes of several old men lit up.

Everyone is a connoisseur, knowing that the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty is mainly based on Yue kiln celadon and Xingyao white porcelain, and the three-legged handle white porcelain cup with bird and beast pattern in front of you is adhering to the white porcelain of Xingyao on the basis of the white ground, and has added colorful bird and beast patterns, not to mention whether this cup is a luminous cup, even if the glaze of this cup, if it can be really determined that it is handed down from the Tang Dynasty, this alone has been able to refresh the history of China's Tang Dynasty porcelain-making technology.

A few old men were here, and it was not Tang Dou's turn to get started, he looked at Zhou Lao with a slight smile and asked, "Master, where is our old man?" Why didn't you see it? ”

Zhou Lao pointed to the porcelain kiln and smiled: "That old guy is still locked up there, you can go and take a look." ”

A few elders had already humbly started to play with this white porcelain cup with a three-legged handle with bird and beast patterns, Tang Dou apologized to Xu Lele, and turned around and walked towards the porcelain kiln.

In the porcelain kiln, Tang Dou saw that Yang Yiyan was sitting in front of the workbench fiddling with the mud tire, and hurriedly relaxed his steps and stood in place, but even so, he still did not hide Yang Yiyan's ears.

Yang listened attentively for a moment, and no longer paid attention to Tang Dou, and focused on the mud tire in his hand that was about to be completed.

For more than ten minutes, the two of them just buried their heads in their work, and stood quietly at the door.

Yang Yan was finally busy with the work in his hand, he straightened up with satisfaction, and asked without looking back, "Did you bring the luminous cup?" ”

Tang Dou nodded and said, "I just brought it, it's a white porcelain cup with a three-legged handle with a bird and beast pattern." ”

Yang snorted, stood up, and walked to the side of the faucet to wash his hands.

Tang Dou hurriedly picked up the towel and stood beside Yang Yiyan, waited for Yang Yiyan to finish washing his hands, and handed the towel in his hand to Yang Yiyan.

Yang wiped his hands with a glance, threw the towel aside, and said to Tang Dou: "Don't dry that mud tire, wait for it to dry naturally, and then use a low-temperature stove to try it." ”

Tang Dou glanced at the ordinary small cup that Yang had just made, answered, and asked, "Dad, did you add phosphor to the fetal mud?" ”

Yang glanced at him, sighed, and walked towards the door silently.

The addition of phosphor to the fetal mud can theoretically make a luminous cup, but the composition of the phosphor will be destroyed during the firing process, and even Yang is puzzled by this problem.

The most important thing is that his eyes, even if he can fire a glow-in-the-dark cup, he has no chance to see it.

Tang Dou understood the pain in Yang Yiyan's heart, he followed up and held Yang Yiyan's arm, walked a few steps silently, and suddenly said: "Dad, I have also been thinking about the problem of the luminous cup, you said that if you make the luminous cup when you fire it twice?" ”

Yang frowned and paused, pondered for a moment and said, "You mean to say that you don't need to add phosphor to the tire mud, but add phosphor to the glaze?" ”

Tang Dou sneered: "This method is a bit tricky, the temperature of firing porcelain is too low to become porcelain, and the temperature is too high but it will destroy the fluorescent ingredients." If phosphor is added to the glaze, the furnace temperature should be controlled at a suitable temperature during the second firing, so that the light-absorbing properties of the phosphor may not be damaged. When the cup is finished, it does not glow in the night, but its glaze glows. ”

Yang nodded with a glance: "This method can be tried, if the cup mud tire can be as thin as paper, the luminous glow from the glaze should be able to penetrate the wall of the cup." ”

Seeing that Yang was about to return to the porcelain kiln, Tang Dou hurriedly smiled bitterly and grabbed Yang with a smile: "Dad, don't you want to take a look at the luminous cup brought by Xu Lele first?" ”

Yang glanced at it for a moment, laughed and strode forward: "Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately." Of course, you have to see for yourself what the legendary glow-in-the-dark cup looks like. ”

Tang Dou helped Yang to walk back to the backyard, and saw that several old men were there with relish in the white porcelain cup of the bird and beast pattern three-legged handle among the opponents, Qin Yanpei was beckoning Qin Jie to find a piece of black cloth, ready to see if this cup really had a luminous effect.

Yang strode under the ginkgo tree.

Tang Dou didn't see Xu Lele under the tree, so he looked around, and unexpectedly found that Xu Lele and Qian Qianqian were sitting on the rattan chairs under the cloister and talking happily, while Qin Jie was busy looking for black cloth, and Yang Deng probably went back to the room to rest.

Xu Lele is a guest, Tang Dou naturally can't be lazy, he smiled and walked towards the two of them, and his mouth was already grinning halfway through.

Xu Lele and Qian Qianqian spoke all in English, and with Tang Dou's spoken English, he couldn't understand a word.

When Xu Lele saw Tang Dou coming over, he greeted Tang Dou excitedly, and said with a smile: "Tang Douzi, I'll put that luminous cup here for the time being, okay?" ”

Tang Dou smiled and said: "As long as you can rest assured, of course there is no problem, wait a minute, I will take a photo and give you a receipt......"

Xu Lele smiled and held Tang Dou's hand: "It's okay, I'm very relieved of you, I'm going to invite the beautiful Miss Xu to dinner tonight, and I'll come back tomorrow to get the luminous cup back, I hope you will give me a pleasant reply tomorrow." ”

"Huh?" Tang Dou was a little confused, but it was not because of the luminous cup.

It seems that Xu Lele and Qian Qianqian just met, right? Why are we going to have dinner together? What's the situation?

Xu Lele smiled and reached out to pat Tang Dou's arm, squeezed his eyes at Tang Dou, and whispered: "I have a hunch that this trip to Jinling will give me the greatest harvest in my life." ”

Tang Dou swallowed his saliva, and really wanted to remind Xu Lele immediately that Qian Qianqian was already a person with a marriage contract, and Qian Qianqian's fiancé was still Francis, the first heir to the British Stuart family.

At this time, Qian Qianqian walked over with a smile, stretched out her hand to hold Xu Lele's arm, and waved Bai Shengsheng's little hand at Tang Dou: "Tang Dou, I didn't expect that Xu Lele and I are still alumni, the two of us had a good conversation, please tell your aunt, you don't need to prepare dinner for me in the evening." ”

"Uh", Tang Dou nodded subconsciously.

Qian Qianqian chuckled, walked over to Qian Cihang with Xu Lele in her arms, said hello to Qian Cihang, who was indulging in antiques, and walked out of the backyard with arms in arms.

Tang Dou coughed twice, hesitating whether he should follow to send these two people, and after thinking about it, forget it.

Looking at the appearance of the two people, if you come over, it will be a two-kilowatt large light bulb, so don't dislike people. (To be continued.) )
