Diao Yipin thought to himself, "In order to find this teahouse, I asked my subordinates to run all over the large and small teahouses in Pu'an City, and finally found this highest-grade teahouse, the best in terms of technique and reputation, of course you will appreciate it." ”

Diao Yipin maintained a good smile and said, "I am also by the way, I often come here, I think this place is not bad, it just happened to be today, please come up and try it, in this regard, you are an expert, the most right to speak." ”

After Diao Yipin finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, took out an inconspicuous small teapot from his bag, put it on the table full of tea sets, and said to Xia Banghao:

"I heard that Deputy Secretary Xia is a master of the tea ceremony, two days ago when I went to Yixing on a business trip with Boss Feng Jiuyang, I picked up a purple clay pot on a stall by the way, and wanted to give it to you as a small gift, the price is not expensive, today I want to invite Deputy Secretary Xia to dinner, so I put it in my bag, bring it over, and ask Deputy Secretary Xia not to dislike it."

Xia Banghao saw the inconspicuous little pot that Diao Yipin put on the table, but his eyes straightened all of a sudden!

The pot in front of you, the shape is upright and steady, there is a tendency to pull out, the overall charm of the pot is excellent, the flow, the handle, the shoulder, the cover with the line transition is very smooth, people feel that it looks, the touch is comfortable, the more you look closely, the more you feel that this pot is rich in rich antique charm, the decoration is delicate and realistic, the overall shape layout is symmetrical, natural, and there is no carving.

Xia Banghao couldn't help but take the pot in his hand and take a closer look, one side of the pot is engraved with eight ancient characters that he doesn't know, and the other side is engraved with plum branches and "Jiangnan Spring, Shisheng Carving" seven words; Cover "Zhilai", bottomless. The body of the pot is red, but the spout, handle and foliage on the lid are brown.

Diao Yipin saw Xia Banghao's eyes staring straight at the teapot, and introduced it in a timely manner, "Deputy Secretary Xia, a knowledgeable friend said that this is Master Wu Yungen's early work 'two-color persimmon flat pot', Wu Yungen, also known as Wu Zhilai, is one of the outstanding representatives of modern Yixing purple sand skills, his early works will occasionally use 'Zhilai', and the later works are 'Wu Yungen' or 'Wu Yungen system'. ”

Xia Banghao listened to Diao Yipin's words and nodded frequently:

"The name of Master Wu Genyun, I have long heard of it, but his works are less, he did not leave a heirloom for his four children, in the pot art market, in addition to a small number of high-end pots made by Wu Yungen before the liberation of the people, after the liberation, he only made a small number of national gift pots and samples, his works are basically not circulated in the society, this one in your hand, even if it is a fake, the price is at least about 100,000 yuan."

When Diao Yipin heard this, a surprised expression appeared on his face, "Is it so expensive?" That's really a good retribution, when I bought it, Boss Feng Jiuyang thought that Secretary Xia was a good tea person, since he came to Yixing, the purple clay pot here is so famous, of course he had to take one back to give it away, but he didn't expect that these thousands of things were so precious, but he really didn't run this trip in vain. ”

"It seems that the people who sell things don't know the goods, otherwise, how can such a treasure be sold to you for a few thousand yuan? You've taken advantage of it. Xia Banghao said.

Xia Banghao was talking, but his eyes were always staring at the pot in his hand, playing carefully.

Feng Jiuyang took advantage of the situation and said: "Deputy Secretary Xia likes this pot, I will rest assured, otherwise, it will cost thousands of yuan to give away things, and if people don't like it, it is not equivalent to worthless." ”

When Xia Banghao heard this, he quickly raised his eyes and looked at Feng Jiuyang and said, "How can it be done?" I can't ask for your things for nothing, I'll send you the money to buy the pot in two days, if you don't want the money, be polite to me, I won't want this pot. ”

That being said, Xia Banghao was still holding the pot in his hand, as if he was holding some peerless treasure, and he didn't mean to put it down at all.

Feng Jiuyang hurriedly agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll collect the money, just to help you run an errand and help you bring a good pot back, so that you don't have a pot in your hand, but your heart is unstable." ”

Xia Banghao smiled, his eyes almost narrowed into a slit and said to Feng Jiuyang: "Okay, it's only happy to talk like this." ”

Diao Yipin saw that the gift given today was in the arms of the leader, and took advantage of the leader's happiness and said with a smile, "It's not too early, Deputy Secretary Xia should take the pot back and appreciate it slowly." ”

Xia Banghao noticed that the time was indeed a little late, and quickly got up, still holding the pot in both hands, Feng Jiuyang hurriedly squeezed his eyes at Diao Yipin, which means, "I haven't talked about tonight's business, why are you leaving?" ”

Diao Yipin ignored him and walked downstairs side by side with Xia Banghao.

When he went downstairs, Diao Yipin pretended to be unintentional and said, "Deputy Secretary Xia, I heard that the city is going to build an ecological new city this year, and it is Secretary General Wu who is in charge of the project, you have a good relationship with him, if you have the opportunity, you can also recommend it to our Boss Feng and give him some projects." ”

Xia Banghao's eyes were fixed on the pot and replied, "Yes, there is such a thing, I have to tell him when I have time." ”

Feng Jiuyang followed behind Diao Yipin and Xia Banghao, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed.

At the door of the hotel, Xia Banghao's driver had already opened the car door, and stood respectfully by the door waiting for Xia Banghao, Xia Banghao carefully held the purple clay pot, bent down and sat in the car, after the door was closed, one hand was raised, and he waved to Feng Jiuyang and others standing at the door of the hotel, which was goodbye.

Feng Jiuyang and Diao Yipin stood at the door of the hotel until Xia Banghao's car disappeared, and then slowly walked back.

Diao Yipin asked the driver to go back first, and he would take Feng Jiuyang's car tonight. The driver politely said "goodbye" to the leader, started the car and left quickly.

On the huge parking lot, only Feng Jiuyang and Diao Yipin remained.

Feng Jiuyang smiled and said to Diao Yipin, "Vice Mayor Diao, you really made me die today, and after talking about the tea ceremony for a long time, I didn't mention anything I wanted to ask, and I couldn't hold it anymore." ”

Diao Yipin said, "This work is the same as being a person, panic, everything must be done, and only then can you be sure of success, I have long understood that Xia Banghao is fond of tea, so I specially bought a good teapot from a friend, saying that it was prepared by you, with this thing, the topic is easy to talk about, and things are easy to say." ”

Feng Jiuyang said, "This teapot costs thousands of yuan, which is too cheap. ”

Diao Yipin couldn't help laughing out loud and said to Feng Jiuyang, "Do you really think that pot is only a few thousand yuan?" To tell you the truth, it was Chen Mingyuan's genuine product, which was auctioned at auction, hundreds of thousands, you, study hard. ”

Feng Jiuyang couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Diao Yipin glanced at him and said, "How much does this teapot cost, only I know, when it is given to Xia Banghao, it is just me and you are present, Xia Banghao is also a person who understands, tonight's matter, do you think he really believes the price I said in his heart, he understands it in his heart, he likes purple clay pots for many years, and his research in this area is more thorough than you and me, connoisseurs can see the price of this purple clay pot at a glance, Xia Banghao loves this thing in his heart, and he wants to save face, so he will say things like paying, do I really care about the thousands of dollars, Isn't this all about paving the way for you? ”

Feng Jiuyang hurriedly said, "I will pay you this money tomorrow." ”

Diao Yipin said, "You can give me the money to my driver, this thing was bought by him, but then your company will have a chance to enter the ecological new city, power and money are like eggs and chickens and chickens are like eggs, and they are really indispensable." ”

"Yes, yes, or what Vice Mayor Diao said makes sense."

Feng Jiuyang was really convinced by Diao Yipin after this.

When Diao Yipin and Feng Jiuyang were standing in the hotel parking lot chatting leisurely, Xia Banghao was sitting in his special car, holding the purple clay pot in his hand, and his heart was quite entangled.

Xia Banghao is in his fifties this year, and he has been in the provincial organs for so many years, especially in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee for a few years, what kind of things have he not seen? How did corrupt officials come about? He knew very well in his heart, was the purple clay pot in his hand real or fake? How much is it worth? Just like Diao Yipin said, he is very clear in his heart.

What should I do in the face of such a scene? He knew better than anyone else what to do. That's where he struggles with it.

Know what to do, but can't! Diao Yipin's trick is to eat himself, otherwise he would not have taken this purple clay pot out of his bag.

Xia Banghao has had a strong interest in purple clay pots since he was a child, and if it weren't for fate, maybe he would have been a famous contemporary purple sand pot master at this time. Over the years, as he grew older, Xia Banghao's obsession with purple clay pots has become stronger and stronger.

The purple sand pot is a porous material with a double pore structure, the porous fine density is high and has a strong adsorption force, it can absorb the fragrance of tea and keep it for a long time, while the glazed ceramic teapot is relatively lacking in this function, compared with the porcelain pot, the tea juice is not easy to become rancid, which is determined by the precise and reasonable shape of the teapot itself.

The purple sand spout is small, the spout and lid fit tightly, and the form of the mouth lid is mostly a cap structure, while the spout of the porcelain pot is mostly facing up, and the form of the mouth lid is mostly an inlay structure. Due to the high precision of the purple clay pot, it reduces the channel for air mixed with molds such as Aspergillus flavus to flow into the pot compared with the porcelain pot, so it relatively pushes back the time for the tea juice to deteriorate and become rancid.

The purple clay pot is durable, although its linear expansion coefficient is slightly higher than that of porcelain, but because the inner and outer surfaces are not glazed, there is no concern about the stress of the glaze, the aluminum content in the blank is high, the glass is less, and there is a certain porosity, which is enough to overcome the stress caused by the difference between hot and cold temperature.

Xia Banghao once saw a sentence in a book, which was said by Mr. Lu Xun, "There is good tea to drink, and you can drink good tea, which is a kind of Qingfu, but to enjoy this Qingfu, you must first have work, and secondly, you must have a special feeling of practice." ”

This sentence reached the bottom of Xia Banghao's heart, and he also thought so in his heart, "If you have good tea to drink, you will drink good tea", just these two sentences, but they are not the realm that ordinary people can achieve.

Ten years of catastrophe, Xia Banghao's grandfather played a lifetime of purple sand treasures, three-legged Ruyi pattern cover pot, was smashed by the Red Guard as the four old, Xia Banghao's father was a serious illness for this anger, since then, Xia Banghao has never seen anything that can be eyed by the purple sand pot boutique, until today in the Dingli Hotel to see Diao Yipin to himself this purple sand pot.

When he saw this pot for the first time, he knew that this was a genuine product, and it must be from the hand of Chen Mingyuan, the master of the purple clay pot in the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Mingyuan's name is Mingyuan, Hefeng, also known as Shixia Mountain, Huyin, Yixing Zisha famous artist during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, is a famous player with high achievements in pot art and boutique for hundreds of years.

This person was born in a purple sand family, the tea set, elegant play up to dozens of kinds, all exquisite, he also created the body of the pot engraved with the wind of poetry, signed to engrave the inscription and seal together, the style is elegant, there is a Tang Dynasty style, the work is famous at home and abroad, at that time there was a "overseas competition for Ming Yuan" said.

Chen Mingyuan created the body of the pot engraved with poems and inscriptions for decoration, signed with engraved names and seals, the decorative art and calligraphy of traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy, and introduced the production process of the sand pot, so that the original plain and unpretentious pot body added a lot of timeless decorative interest, but also made the sand pot more has a strong bookish atmosphere, coupled with the poetry inscription, the calligraphy of the book is elegant and beautiful, rich in the Jin and Tang Dynasty brushwork, so as to integrate the pot art, tea and the elegance of the literati, which greatly improves the artistic value and cultural value of the sand pot. Becoming a real work of art has entered the palace of art, which is Chen Mingyuan's outstanding achievement in the history of pot art development.

Xia Banghao has studied purple clay pots for many years, and this will never be wrong! It's just that Diao Yipin said that he only bought a few thousand yuan for this pot, and he pushed the boat with the water, because he really liked this pot in his heart.

He took the pot down, but he was uneasy in his heart, he was afraid that Diao Yipin and Feng Jiuyang would trouble him by proposing things that he was not capable of, but he didn't expect that Diao Yipin didn't say anything harsh from beginning to end, just said that Feng Jiuyang's company entered the ecological new city, which made him a little relieved.

As the main leader in charge of urban construction in the city, he still has a very important say in the specific affairs of the construction of the new ecological city, and he is confident that Feng Jiuyang's construction company will be able to get a share of the many projects in the construction of the new ecological city.

Xia Banghao returned home, and saw his daughter's Xia Yan sitting in the living room, and when he saw his father coming back, Xia Yan immediately looked nervous and asked, "Dad, I heard that Wu Daguang was arrested by the Commission for Discipline Inspection?" ”

"There's this."

Xia Banghao replied to his daughter while standing behind the door and changing his slippers, and the excitement and satisfaction brought by the purple clay pot instantly faded a lot because of his daughter's words.

"Dad, you've been very close to Wu Daguang recently, and his affairs won't involve you, right?"

Xia Yan asked her father with a nervous face, the women in the officialdom family must know that the officials who have close contacts with each other are not as simple as they seem, and the relationship between her father and Wu Daguang is definitely not innocent.
