The four words of Yangxian celadon are not unfamiliar to players who love porcelain, and things have to start with Yixing purple sand.

Purple sand clay is the raw material for the manufacture of purple sand pots, according to legend, its origin can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period of the Yue State Doctor Fan Li, but the real use of utensils, but from the Ming Dynasty Wuzong Zhengde years, legend has it that the founder of the purple sand pot is the Ming Dynasty for spring.

The famous teacher-level purple sand pot can be described as a pot that is hard to find, and it is known as "how to take the jewelry in the world, Yixing purple sand is the most important".

However, there has always been controversy about the formation of purple sand soil, because if Yixing purple sand began in the Ming Dynasty, then it has a history of hundreds of years, which is very incommensurate with the thousands of years of pottery history in Yixing, so some experts believe that purple sand ware may have begun to appear in the Song Dynasty, but there is no strong archaeological evidence to support it.

The turning point came three years ago, when archaeologists discovered a rare Yangxian celadon in the Eastern Jin Dynasty family cemetery in the Yixing area of Wuxi.

The fetal quality of Yangxian celadon is made of Yixing purple sand ore and white clay, and the proportion of purple sand ore is quite high, which proves that the history of purple sand clay ware was suddenly advanced to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

At that time, there were a large number of Yangxian celadon unearthed, which can prove that the use of purple sand clay was very common at that time, and it is not surprising, however, what is really preserved to modern times is a negligible number, and almost all the unearthed Yangxian porcelain is collected by the museum, and it is almost rare to circulate in the market.

However, the blue-glazed sheep's head pot in front of him is the Yangxian celadon that can be heard and invisible.

In a certain sense, this sheep's head pot can also be seen as a purple clay pot. The value of the purple clay pot is generally from three aspects, namely age, clay quality and art.

In terms of age, this sheep's head pot can be called one of the oldest purple clay pots, it has been thousands of years old, from the clay point of view, the clay can be called the upper layer, the color is also extremely pure, from the artistic point of view, it is in line with the simplicity and nature of the original celadon.

Moreover, once any antique is linked to historical research, its value will naturally be different.

Because it is Yangxian celadon, this blue-glazed sheep's head pot has suddenly changed from a pheasant to a phoenix, which caused everyone in the venue to exclaim again and again.

After all, there are many in the world, but this one is one of the few in the market, and its value is naturally different, and what is more interesting is that even a bunch of judges looked away at first.

As the judges continued to nod their heads one by one, the contestants all understood that this was a genuine product, and many people looked at Zhao Zhuo's eyes with some admiration.

This distinguishes whether the porcelain is genuine or not, most people are decent in the identification, once the weight is wrong, the tire color is not right, the glaze layer is not right, it will immediately be identified as a fake, discarded.

However, to select this rare piece of Yangxian celadon and dare to compete in the Dou Porcelain Festival, it requires even more extraordinary vision and courage.

Tong Dongyang and the others didn't expect that what Zhao Zhuo took out turned out to be a real Yangxian celadon, and they were a little dumbfounded for a while.

It didn't take long for the judges to come to the verdict, unanimously agreeing that this was the original Yangxian celadon from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with an estimate of 5.5 million.

Zhao Zhuo was naturally very satisfied with this value, he stepped down with a smile, which can be regarded as an improvement, and the imitation enamel porcelain he took in the first game only won 4.6 million.

Hearing this price, Tong Dongyang calmed down again at this time, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer: "It's just grandstanding, I want to see how long his clown role can be free." ”

Tong Feiyu also hugged his arms and snorted lightly: "That is, although this thing is rare, it is definitely not as expensive as the second brother, he has been short of more than two million after two games, I see how he will catch up later." ”

Tong Dongyang grinned and said fiercely: "Yes, when the time comes, I will smash the golden box crane top cup in front of him, I really want the next moment to be that day." ”

Tong Feiyu said with a smile: "Second brother, if you want to play with him like a cat and a mouse, if you play to death all of a sudden, wouldn't it be interesting?" Don't look at the smile on his face, I don't know how sad I cried in my heart, I don't know how long it took to find this Yangxian celadon, but the result is still not as good as your porcelain, second brother. ”

Tong Dongyang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but he still didn't take Zhao Zhuo in his eyes.

After Zhao Zhuo's competition, there were very few contestants behind, and they came to the stage one after another, and the collection never had such a ** time.

At the end of the competition, the judges announced the results of the second competition, the first place was Chen Caiyuan's blue-glazed brown spot four-series pot, estimated at 7.5 million, the second was Fang Youming's Deqing kiln black glaze jar, estimated at 7.2 million, and the third place was Tong Qizhou's blue-glazed lotus petal lid jar, estimated at 6.8 million.

The dust settled in the second game, although the air conditioning in the venue was fully turned on, but everyone seemed to have gone through a big battle, sweating all over, and at the same time talking about the porcelain that appeared in the venue, and everyone talked more about looking forward to the beginning of the third game.

As soon as the second scene ended, Ji Yuan and Cui Shiyan took a step in advance, Zhao Zhuo took the wooden box, and was about to get up to leave, Tong Dongyang walked over from the side quickly, and smiled at Jing Yao: "Miss Jing, you didn't notify me when you came to Baicheng, but you didn't treat me Tong as a friend." ”

Tong Dongyang has only met Jing Yao once, and he has never forgotten it, and when he speaks, Jing Yao said lightly: "Mr. Tong is busy with affairs, how dare I disturb you?" ”

Tong Dongyang smiled heartily: "No matter how many things I do, I can push everything away for the sake of Miss Jing." Miss Jing, it's rare for you to come to Baicheng once, so I'll be the east today, and enjoy your face, right? ”

Jing Yao said calmly: "I'm really sorry, someone has already asked me out first." ”

Tong Dongyang frowned, glanced at Zhao Zhuo coldly, and sneered: "Brother Zhao, it seems that you really know how to be courteous when you have nothing to do?" However, if you have time to ask the beautiful woman for dinner, you might as well think about how to spend the third game, after the first two games, you can be nearly three million away from my total price! ”

Tong Feiyu laughed on the side and said: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense with him, I want to see how big the gap is in these six games, this strength is not relied on, the surname is Zhao, you better think about it!" ”

Tong Dongyang grinned, walked past Zhao Zhuo with a step, and when he passed by Jing Yao, he smiled lightly and said, "Miss Jing, looking at a man is like identifying an antique, but you have to distinguish what is a fake and what is genuine." However, I believe that with Miss Jing's discernment, she will definitely be able to distinguish it clearly. ”

Jing Yao said lightly: "You don't need to worry about Mr. Tong about this, Jing Yao has always been confident in her eyesight." ”

seemed to hear the subtext in Jing Yao's words, Tong Dongyang couldn't help but snort heavily, in vain he valued this woman so much, but the other party didn't seem to know how to lift it at all.

As soon as Tong Dongyang walked on his front foot, Fang Youming walked up again, and said with a friendly smile: "Brother Zhao, I have heard about you and Tong Dongyang." ”

Zhao Zhuo was not surprised, and said with a light smile: "Brother Fang's news seems to be very well-informed." ”

Fang Youming smiled slightly: "Fang has always valued talents, let alone an outstanding young man like Brother Zhao?" Speaking of this, he said with a look of regret, "But after these two games, although Brother Zhao has made many strange moves, the situation is not good, but I happen to have a place where I can help you, Brother Zhao." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Zhuo pretended to be surprised and said suspiciously.

Fang Youming said with a smile: "Brother Zhao doesn't have to doubt me, our Fang family and the Tong family are originally rivals in the business field, and I and that Tong Dongyang have always been incompatible, aren't the enemies of the enemy friends?" ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled: "Not bad. ”

Fang Youming said: "I have more than one piece of porcelain in each game, and the price is definitely not below Tong Dongyang, so I want to lend a few pieces of porcelain to Brother Zhao, so that Brother Zhao can turn defeat into victory?" ”

Zhao Zhuo was no longer a simple student, so he naturally wouldn't believe that there was a pie in the sky, although he concluded that Fang Youming's actions had a lot to do with currying favor with Jing Yao, but he would never take advantage of himself because of this, so he smiled slightly: "Brother Fang is really a good person, but I'm afraid this thing lent me isn't free, right?" ”

Fang Youming laughed and said: "Brother Zhao is serious, of course it can't be free, but Brother Zhao only needs to promise me one thing, that is, just sell me that imitation enamel color of Shi Dezhi, as for the price, we can discuss it carefully." ”

Zhao Zhuo knew that this was his ultimate goal, he smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Thank you Brother Fang for your kindness, but I haven't sold that porcelain yet." ”

With that, he took Jing Yao and Ji Xiaofan and turned around and left.

As soon as the three of them left, Fang Lu snorted heavily on the side, and said puzzledly: "Third uncle, why did you lend him something, wouldn't it cheapen him?" ”

Fang Youming said lightly: "Do you know the value of that imitation enamel porcelain of Shi Dezhi?" ”

Fang Lu shrugged and said, "Isn't it just five million things?" ”

Fang Youming said with a smile: "Indeed, if it is sold as a counterfeit, of course it can only be sold for more than five million, but what if it is sold as a genuine product?" ”

Fang Lu was taken aback and said, "Third Uncle means ......"

Fang Youming said with a smile: "The most important thing in this world is rich people, and there is no shortage of rich and eyeless mallets." However, it is difficult to find such a lifelike enamel porcelain, if I can get my hands on this thing, I can make at least five million, and besides, I have helped Zhao Zhuo so generously, won't I be able to win Miss Jing's kindness? ”

Only then did Fang Lu come to his senses, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that this surnamed Zhao actually refused." ”

Fang Youming said confidently: "Don't worry, in one or two more games, when the donkey skills are poor, they will definitely come to me!" ”
