Chapter 567: Tea Pet
Zheng Bai sat down on the sofa with a butt, and took several breaths before slowly calming down, when he received Fang Ming's call just now, he was worried that he had missed the show, and he was in a hurry, so that his breathing was a little urgent at this time.
"Fang Ming, why didn't you stop me when I left just now?"
"Huh."
Fang Ming said with a little humility: "This...... I forgot for a moment that you're in a hurry again......"
"Really? You didn't mean to? ”
Zheng Bai obviously didn't think so, and looked at Fang Ming suspiciously.
"Of course, you were the one who was in a hurry to leave."
When Zheng Bai left before, Fang Ming really deliberately didn't stop Zheng Bai, but how could he admit this at this time, isn't it asking for trouble if he does?
"Forget it, if I don't tell you about it, even you won't admit it."
Zheng Bai waved his hand. Seeing this, Ke Liu and the others showed a knowing smile on their faces, thinking that Zheng Bai was also the heart of an old child, so he had to dwell on such a thing, and in the end he seemed to be very generous.
"Fang Ming, what exactly is in this box?"
Ke Liu's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, so they all stared at the box that Zhao Zhuzi had moved and placed on the ground.
"Pillar, open it and take out the contents of it."
Fang Ming didn't answer Ke Liu's words, but asked Zhao Zhuzi to open the box and take out the contents inside.
Zhao Zhuzi nodded, opened the box, and then took out the contents one by one.
"Put it on the tea tray."
Fang Ming pointed to the tea table in front of everyone and asked Zhao Zhuzi to put all the things he took out on the tea tray.
Zhao Zhuzi nodded and put the things he took out back on the tea tray.
"This ...... What is it? ”
Zheng Bai counted them and found that there were twelve in total, each of which was only as big as half a fist, and the black ones could only be seen to be made of mud, with cows, dogs, rats, etc., but he couldn't see what was so good about the things in front of him, but Fang Ming valued them so much.
It even took a lot of effort from the boss to "cheat" out of Takada's hands.
"These are tea pets."
The so-called tea pet is a pet nourished with tea, a good tea pet is a work of art fired with purple sand or mud, when drinking tea, use tea dipped in tea soup or use the remaining tea water to drip, with the passage of time, the tea pet will become warm and moist like jade, the luster is moving, if you pick it up and smell five, you will find that the tea pet is actually a substantial tea fragrance.
Generally speaking, tea pets have Pixiu, golden toad and the like, this is mainly because such tea pets can represent fortune and auspiciousness, etc., there are many types of tea pets, and the modeling process is also very different, but generally speaking, tea pets have a common feature, that is, there is only a mouth without anus, which means that "wealth is widespread, and dripping water does not leak".
"Tea pet?!"
They are all tea drinkers, and they can't be unfamiliar with this, so as soon as Fang Ming said it, everyone understood what he was talking about, but they didn't understand what the twelve tea pets in front of them were worth.
"A tea pet is a good thing, that is to say, having a tea pet is actually the same as raising a purple clay pot, which means that if the tea pet is well raised, it is also very collectible."
"Raising tea pets, that is a technical job, generally speaking, in the process of raising, only use tea to water, can not use boiled water. It is not correct to say that the so-called tea pet can only use Pu'er, but it is just that Pu'er tea is easier to produce results. ”
"For tea pets, there is a point that you have to raise pulp, that is, to form a thin 'protective layer' on the surface of the tea pet. There is a way to do this. First of all, after the tea pet is bought, you must use a clean towel to clean up the dirty things on the surface, and then it will be more polished, and at the same time, it should be noted that you should not leave the tea soup on the surface of the tea pet, because over time, the surface of the tea pet is full of tea dirt, and the quality is not good. ”
"When the tea pet has red traces, it means that the bottom layer of the tea pet has been formed, and it should be put for a period of time at this time to let the tea pet dry naturally. This is to allow the surface of the tea pet to fully contact with the air to form an oxidized protective layer. When this step is completed, it is time to play with your hand, that is, to play with your hand. ”
"When the handpan should pay attention to the hands must be clean, and can not be wet, can not sweat, thirty-four minutes a day, about a month will feel the feeling of stagnation on the tea pet, when this feeling appears, it means that the slurry layer has actually appeared. Pulling it down is a long and continuous raising. As time passes, the pulp will get better and better. ”
Facing Fang Ming's tirade, Zheng Bai nodded lightly after listening to it
Then he immediately spread his hands and said, "And then?" ”
Zheng Bai is a person who has played antiques all his life, and he is also a master of tea tasting, of course he knows what Fang Ming said. But the crux of the matter was that he didn't understand what Fang Ming was talking about. Therefore, the more Fang Ming spoke, the more confused he became.
"Heh, what I want to say is that the tea pet can actually be very valuable, and at the same time, I also want to say where the tea pet is worth."
Fang Ming said as he boiled a pot of water again.
"Where's the value?"
Zhao Zhuzi is a typical person who doesn't know much, and such a primary question is basically only something he can ask, as for Zheng Bai and Zhou Yafang, even if they don't know much, it is impossible to be ignorant.
"Texture, workmanship, and the degree of cultivation all affect or determine the value of a tea pet."
"First of all, texture is an important part of determining the value of tea pets. For example, the tea pet of Zisha, the value of the tea pet that comes out of different soils is huge. ”
"The utensils made of purple sand are between porcelain and pottery in terms of texture, but in terms of mud color, they can be divided into vermilion mud, purple sand mud, white mud, yellow mud and gun flower mud, etc., the quality of these clay is not the same, and the quality of the purple sand ware produced is of course not the same. Nature is the best quality tea pet made of purple sand mud is the best. Therefore, to see whether a tea pet is valuable, we must first look at its texture. ”
"Second, of course, it's workmanship. Although the tea pet is only a small accessory in the tea set, and the status of the teapot and teacup is not the same, but if it is from the hands of a famous artist, it is completely different. ”
"Third, that's the degree of raising. If the tea pet we just talked about is well raised, it can be crystal clear, and the collection value will soar. But just as it is impossible for Maxima to eat ordinary forage, if you want to raise a tea pet well, you must also use good tea, that is to say, a good tea pet may be raised with tens of millions of cups of good tea soup. So think about it, how valuable is it? ”
"This ...... Heh......"
Zheng Bai scratched his head, he never thought about it in this direction, the antiques that he had played for many years in his eyes certainly referred to porcelain, bronze, at most to the miscellaneous items of pen and ink, and he really rarely touched this thing with tea pets.
So I didn't think about it
There are many doorways, but when I heard Fang Ming say this at this time, I found that it was indeed very reasonable.
"Fang Ming, what you said is very reasonable, but these twelve tea pets ...... It doesn't look inconspicuous at all, so it can't be a good thing. ”
Zhou Yafang's brows furrowed slightly, she is also a good tea person, she also understands what Fang Ming said, but she still can't see what is good about the twelve tea pets in front of her.
"Heh, these twelve tea pets are zodiac, a set, of course, I say it's valuable, it makes sense."
At this time, the water had been boiled, and after boiling the teapot and cleaning it up, Fang Ming took out a small jar from under the tea table, and after opening it, he carefully pinched out a small pinch of tea leaves from inside.
"Good tea! This is the best big red robe? ”
Zheng Bai sniffled, and the faint aroma in the air made him immediately judge what kind of tea Fang Ming was taking out.
"Oh, yes, it's the best big red robe, this thing is really priceless now, I also got a little by chance, and I haven't been willing to drink it......"
Fang Ming nodded, carefully put the tea leaves into the teapot, and then picked up the kettle for boiling water, the boiling hot water sliced through a silver pillar the thickness of a little finger in the air, and then accurately fell into the pot.
The aroma of water vapor makes everyone's spirits even more uplifted.
"Fang Ming, have a drink."
Smelling such a floral fragrance, where can Zheng Bai still bear it? immediately made a request, but what he didn't expect was that Fang Ming ignored him at all.
"Huh? Fang Ming, what do you want to do? It can't be stingy to such an extent, right? There's nothing wrong with this tea, but it's not so bad that you don't want to share my cup, right?
Seeing that Fang Ming was still concentrating on adding water to the pot without hearing his own words, Zheng Bai couldn't help but mutter.
However, Fang Ming still didn't hear Zheng Bai's words, but he picked up the teapot and stretched it out to the top of the tea pet, and on the side of his hand, the tea soup sprayed out from behind the teapot as if it was a leak, and then rushed down to the tea pet, making a "pop" sound, and then splashed a small splash, followed by water vapor that seemed to be a thick fog.
An enticing aroma of tea rose, making everyone sniff hard......
