Old Man Kong smiled, sighed, and said: "The so-called sun and moon in the pot, the universe in the cup, the tea brewed, drink the taste, enjoy the fun, how a few of us are always stuck with a piece of utensils, it is indeed inferior!" ”

Xu Lao was stunned, and said with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean, if I collect the pot again in the future, I don't have to care about any famous pot at all, the important thing is to see whether the material of the pot is real purple sand mud, and whether it is made seriously by the craftsmen?" ”

Master Ge smiled faintly, nodded, and said, "That's exactly what I mean!" Jing Gong, what do you think? ”

Xu Lao was really happy this time, and he didn't wait for others to speak, he stroked his palm first and laughed, and said: "Then you Lao Ge can't brag about yourself in the future, saying that you are the heir of a pot-making family,"

Jing Gong, who was wearing thick glasses and hadn't spoken much since Liu Yuhao entered the door, smiled slightly and said: "Make tea, raise pots, read books, cultivate your mind, be leisurely, and have a real interest in life!" ”

"Hahaha"

Old Man Kong felt that Jing Gong's answer was really wonderful, and he couldn't help laughing on the side.

Old Xu didn't intend to let Master Ge go so cheaply, first squeezed his eyes with a sly smile, then retracted the smile on his face, and said with a straight face: "Old Ge, I remember that you once made a promise in front of all of us, should you be ready to pretend to be confused now, right?" ”

Liu Yuhao was stunned, he didn't know what medicine was being sold in Xu Lao's gourd, so he sat next to him with a smile and listened quietly.

"The promise I made?"

Master Ge obviously forgot what he had said, his expression was stunned, and he immediately showed a look of sudden realization, understood what Xu Lao meant, and then smiled and nodded and looked at Liu Yuhao.

The other two were also stunned for a moment, and after they all understood the meaning of Xu Lao's words, Old Man Kong looked at Liu Yuhao again and there was a faint hint of envy in his eyes.

Of course, Liu Yuhao knew that Master Ge was watching him, but why he was confused, so he had to pretend not to know, and lowered his head to study the lines on the huge golden silk nan's gloomy wooden tea tray, as if there was some earth-shattering secret hidden there.

After a minute, I only heard Master Ge sigh softly and said: "Xiaoyou, my father made countless pots in his life, but the last pot was made abroad from the bottom trough Qingyuan mine brought from his hometown, so his old man had a will to give that pot to someone who was destined to give it, and specified that it must be given to the young leaders among the descendants of China." ”

Liu Yuhao was quite moved, and said quietly and slightly: "The old-timers are high-spirited, and the pot made must be a rare purple sand high-quality heavy weapon, and I don't know who has such good luck to get married." ”

In fact, when Master Ge spoke, Liu Yuhao's heart was already rolling like a thousand-layer giant Lang, but after obtaining the Heart Sutra, Liu Yuhao's concentration was indeed much higher than before, so he didn't show a look of horror on his face.

You must know that when Liu Yuhao used his urging ability to observe Master Ge's Wendan pot before, he already knew that Master Ge was the descendant of the purple sand ghost genius Ge Hong, if it was really as Master Ge said, that pot was a ghost's posthumous work, Liu Yuhao couldn't imagine how shocking that artifact should be.

With a smile on his face and a strong memory, Master Ge looked at Liu Yuhao seriously and said, "Xiaoyou, are you willing to get involved with the pot made by my father?" ”

"Me?"

Where did Liu Yuhao think that Master Ge would ask such an unanswerable question to himself in front of so many people? Suddenly stunned, his eyes widened, and he didn't know how to answer for a long time.

"Boy, don't hurry up and thank Master Ge."

Old Man Kong hesitated for a moment, shook his head again, and finally couldn't hold back, and reminded Liu Yuhao in a low voice.

Liu Yuhao came back to his senses from his deep shock, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "A gentleman doesn't win people's love, Master Ge, I understand your kindness, but the pot is absolutely unwanted." ”

It's not that Liu Yuhao is fake, in fact, it's because the name of Ge Hong, the purple sand ghost, is too big, and Liu Yuhao didn't know how to refuse for a while, so he was tactful and didn't hurt Master Ge's face.

At that time, Ge Hong's surviving works were few, and the price was speculated extremely high, even if it was a broken pot, as long as it could be confirmed to be genuine, it could be auctioned for more than 10 million yuan.

Even if Liu Yuhao likes to open the door and old things, he will not accept gifts from others for no reason, not to mention that he and Master Ge have only known each other for less than an hour, how can they easily make friends.

"Haha, don't just get married to me, kid!"

Xu Lao laughed and made fun on the side, with a strong desire in his eyes.

"Don't even think about it."

Master Ge pursed his lips and snorted at Xu Lao disdainfully.

"Why? Shouldn't I be associated with that pot? ”

Xu Lao was reluctant, his eyes suddenly widened, and the beard at the corner of his mouth trembled a few times, which showed how excited Xu Lao was at this time.

Master Ge smiled and explained: "When my father left his will, there were still conditions, how can I get married to you if you don't have that talent?" ”

"Conditional?"

Xu Lao was stunned for a moment, and his face showed surprise and stunned.

Liu Yuhao and Old Man Kong were also slightly surprised, although there are many talented people with personalities, but it is obvious that there are many conditions for sending objects that are related to others, which may not be too puzzling.

Master Ge said with a smile: "Actually, the conditions are very simple, my father said back then, the gift of the pot should also be the eye, and those who can have the ability to open the pot can be gifted, and nothing else will be considered." ”

"What conditions do I say!"

Xu Lao began to be dissatisfied again, and complained: "Isn't it just to open the pot, is it that I used to open the pot less often?" ”

"Lad, do you know how to open a pot?"

Master Ge ignored Xu Lao's complaints, but looked at Liu Yuhao with a smile and asked him about opening the pot.

Liu Yuhao's mind was in chaos, and he nodded subconsciously.

If you have just bought a good purple clay pot, then you must prepare for it to open it well.

The so-called boiling pot, because the purple clay pot that has just begun to be produced can not be directly made of tea to drink, a new pot just out of the cellar is dull, no tea fragrance is no different from the general teapot, must go through a certain processing process to serve to the tea table for people to taste tea, this set of open pot procedures for the future to raise a good purple sand pot to prepare.

It stands to reason that as long as you know how to use purple clay pots, you can open the pot, how can Ge Hong leave such a simple condition so that Master Ge has not met someone for decades?

Liu Yuhao looked at Xu Lao's dissatisfied look, and his heart began to become curious.

Master Ge stood up with a smile and said, "Don't be impatient, I don't know if this little friend is the person my father said, so I have to take out the pot and take a look, whether the pot can be opened or not depends on personal fate." ”

After Master Ge walked to the hut next to him, the three people in the house, you look at me, I look at you, and their faces are full of helplessness. Although the three of them have a close relationship with Master Ge, they have only heard of the existence of such a pot, but they don't know what kind of shape and materials are used in that pot.

Just now, Master Ge actually doubted Xu Lao's ability to open the pot in person, which aroused everyone's curiosity even more.

"Hmph, I think Lao Ge is just playing tricks, boiling the pot, don't do it once or twice a year."

Having said that, Old Xu got up a little insincerely, and ran to the door of the hut where Master Ge had entered, stretching his neck, hoping to have a sneak peek.

Master Ge came out quickly, and to Xu Lao's disappointment, Master Ge did not take out the pot directly, but put it in a brocade box whose color had fallen off, and respectfully put his hands on the table.

"I already have a word in advance, whether you can open the pot depends on the fate, young man, you can open the brocade box to see if you have the ability."

Master Ge no longer had a smile on his face at this time, his face was full of piety and seriousness, as if he was completing something very important.

Liu Yuhao was stunned, until even Old Man Kong couldn't wait to urge himself on the side before he took out his gloves and put them on. Regardless of whether he has the ability to open the pot or not, just with the four words of the purple sand ghost, he must pay attention to it.

When the brocade box was opened, everyone except Master Ge exclaimed.

"This"

"Beauty is beautiful, but how to open a pot?"

Old Man Kong can be regarded as well-informed, but when his old man saw the purple clay pot, he couldn't help but be shocked, and exclaimed: "The bottom groove is clear and the green mud of this mountain is added? How can this be? ”

"Don't ask me, I'm just like you, and I still don't know why my father made such a pot back then."

Looking at everyone's stunned eyes, Master Ge smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Both the bottom groove and the green mud of this mountain are produced in Huanglong Mountain, and they are both the top grades of purple mud, but the bottom groove is located at the bottom of the purple mud mine. The raw ore is dark purple in color, and blue-green "corns" can be seen on the surface. After firing, it is more "water color" than the ordinary clear water purple mud, and the surface of the pot looks like jade, and the vermilion liver color of the pot after soaking is more elegant.

The green mud of Benshan is the grease in the purple mud layer, commonly known as "dragon tendon". The raw ore is pale green, and it is greenish beige after being fired by mud training, with the texture of pear skin jelly.

Therefore, Benshan green mud also had a better name in ancient times, called "pear peel mud".

These two kinds of raw ore are basically rare now, and even if a few people still have inventory in their hands, three or five people may not be enough to make a pot.

It's no wonder that since there was a purple clay pot, I'm afraid that no pot maker has used these two materials together to make a pot.

"Ghost genius Ge Hong! It's really worthy of the name of a ghost! ”

Liu Yuhao secretly smacked his tongue and slandered in his heart, Liu Yuhao at this time was even wondering if everything he saw in front of him was a dream.

"There is no need to doubt it, this is all the original mineral."

Master Ge smiled faintly, and poured tea on the spot on a small piece of ore taken out of the brocade box, so that Liu Yuhao and the others could observe the speed and extent of its dissolution.

After a few minutes, the ore dissolved into a mud-like shape, and Xu Lao, who had always been puzzled, took a little hydrolyzed vermilion mud with his fingers, nodded, and said, "It is indeed extremely delicate, like chocolate with high purity, without any sense of impurities." ”
