Chapter 859: Crazy Eggplant

After all, the Japanese consulate came forward, and the Beiyang government, which was worried about internal and external troubles at that time, could not help but give face, so no matter how hard Boss Ye was in the background, he couldn't help but bow his head this time.

Although he hated this Hirota Matsufan very much, in the end, he couldn't help but give up this three-legged incense burner to him.

But after all, he has a big backstage face, and even if the Japanese want this three-legged incense burner, they can't help but show full sincerity.

What's more, this Hirota Matsufan doesn't have a deep background in Japan, so the Japanese consulate didn't put too much pressure on the Beiyang side.

In the end, this Guangtian Songfan spent 20,000 oceans to buy this three-legged incense burner from Boss Naye.

After Hirota Matsuhiro returned to Japan, he hyped up this celadon three-legged incense burner, on the one hand, to advertise his antique shop, and on the other hand, of course, to show off.

But who would have thought that he showed off like this but accidentally made it self-defeating, attracting a big man who could crush him if he opened his mouth.

And this person is the big boss of the Mitsubishi chaebol, the Iwasaki Koyata who collected the Yaobian Tianmu bowl.

At that time, this Iwasaki Koyata fell in love with this three-legged incense burner, and directly bid 30,000 yen to Hirota Matsufan to buy this incense burner.

You must know that at that time, the currencies of all countries were still using the gold standard, unlike now, when all countries are desperately irrigating, and the central bank is desperately over-issuing currency.

So at that time, the yen was still very valuable, and 30,000 yen was worth at least 18 million yuan if it was converted into yuan.

At that time, this price was relative to this three-legged incense burner. Actually, it's not low at all.

Plus the identity of that Iwasaki Koyata. But this Hirota Songfan hesitated for many days.

But he himself was a great fond of porcelain. In particular, there are not many celadon produced in the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty in the whole of Japan, and it can be said that each piece is very precious.

He himself thinks that the price of 30,000 yen given by Iwasaki Koyata is not low, but it is definitely not worthy of this three-legged incense burner.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and rejected Iwasaki Koyata's offer.

And what kind of character is this Iwasaki Koyata, who was the most famous industrialist in Japan at that time. And it has a very deep relationship with the Imperial Family.,In Japan, both the political and business worlds.,And the influence of the people is huge.。

If you really offend this Iwasaki Koya miserably, people don't have to do it themselves, they can use their mouths, and someone will be able to come and kill him in minutes.

In the end, he could only transfer a tea can he had retrieved from the last auction held by the descendants of the Tokugawa family to Iwasaki at a flat price, which could be regarded as a settlement.

Later, because of this incident, he also got in touch with Iwasaki Koyata, and he went in and out of China several times. Specially help the head of the Mitsubishi chaebol to go to China to find treasures.

But he also knew that it was good to fool Iwasaki Koyata. It doesn't mean that the world will be peaceful from now on.

After the death of Iwasaki Koyata, the future heirs of the Mitsubishi chaebol may not be difficult for themselves, but once they hang up, the people of the Mitsubishi chaebol family will definitely come to trouble their children and grandchildren.

After all, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, his family is not a famous family in Japan, but a small family that does antique business, and compared with the Mitsubishi chaebol, the waist is not as thick as a foot of others.

If he dies, the people of the Iwasaki family will definitely not let go of the treasure in the hands of their children and grandchildren, and will definitely try all kinds of ways to come to their own house to play with the treasure.

If you don't do it well, your own family may be ruined.

That's why before he died, he donated these two treasures that he was most proud of in his life to the Tokyo National Museum.

Of course, from today onwards, this celadon three-legged incense burner will go home with Jin Muchen.

This treasure is in the hands of Jin Muchen, he is not worried about the Hirota family coming back to ask for it, it is the leader of the Mitsubishi chaebol, the Iwasaki family came to find him, and Jin Muchen did not bird them.

What Mitsubishi chaebol head family, when it comes to himself, he has to kneel, anyway, Lao Tzu is not only an ordinary Chinese now, but also can pull the identity of the United States as a tiger skin.

You must know that the Japanese have the habit of being weak when they see their American fathers, so it's a big deal to get an American identity to scare them, and they can't do it, so it's special that Lao Tzu will close the door and let go of the black @ hand @ party, and then see who can scare whom.

After putting away the celadon three-legged incense burner, Jin Muchen continued to walk back.

You must know that this Hirota Songfan, the proudest thing in his life, is to collect several pieces of celadon from the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty in China, and there is another one, that is, he successfully dug up the old house of the Tokugawa family.

It turned out that after the descendants of the Tokugawa family held that auction, many Japanese collectors could see that the Tokugawa family was already in decline, and Yu Wei was gone.

And life doesn't seem to be good, it looks more like a poor B, nervous.

In addition, the people of the Tokugawa family don't seem to be very good at living, and they are obviously in the middle of the family, but they are still paying attention to pomp and grandeur.

If they could use the ordinary way of life, then the Tokugawa family's accumulated wealth over hundreds of years would be enough for them to eat for several lifetimes.

But these losers, obviously in the middle of the family, are still living a life of fine clothes and food, and often find some fox friends to come to the house to drink and squander.

So soon, some of the funds they raised through the auction were all squandered by the family.

At this time, before they could hold an auction here, many private collectors came to their door and offered to buy the Tokugawa family's treasures.

And the people of the Tokugawa family actually agreed, because on the one hand, they were in a hurry to use the money, and on the other hand, because they thought that if they sent things to the auction in a centralized manner, the auction organizer would take too long to organize the auction, and those guys would take a cut of the auction income.

So I just opened the door and let these antique lovers come in, everyone picks at will, and if everyone thinks it is suitable, then make a deal.

And it is precisely because of the ignorance and incompetence of the descendants of the Tokugawa family that Hirota Matsufan picked up a big leak.

This big leak is the famous Fuzao eggplant in Japan!

The name of this thing sounds very strange, and many Chinese collectors, after hearing such a name, will not know what it is, and even feel inexplicable.

What's the hell? What eggplant dares to call it a precious cultural relic?

But if you really take it literally, then you are very wrong, the so-called eggplant, not the eggplant, this so-called Fuzao eggplant, is not a real eggplant, his real body, it turned out to be a tea can!

Don't underestimate this kind of tea canister, there are two tea cans of this grade in Japan, one of which is this fuzao eggplant, and the other is called Kujiufa eggplant!!

That sounds like a mouthful, right!?

But in fact, that's the case, the name of the tea canist, it's indeed called Ninety-Nine Eggplant, but another scientific name, more formal, is called Matsuyama Shoulder Guard!

It's really hard to imagine why the Japanese would give this tea pot such a trendy name.

And don't think the name of the 99-haired eggplant is funny, but this tea caddy that looks like a trumpet sauce jar has the status of a top national treasure in Japan.

Even many collectors in the Japanese collecting world have recognized that this tea caddy has the same status as the Yao Chang Tianmu bowl that Jin Muchen shot before!

Yes, you read that right, that ninety-nine tea canist, in the Japanese antique world, is no less than those Yao Chang Tianmu bowls!

Even in the Muromachi period in the 16th century, there were records in Japan that the most precious cultural relics in Japan at that time were the Yakinichi Tenmu Bowl and this ninety-nine eggplant, and with this ninety-nine eggplant, many valuable things could be exchanged in Japan at that time.

And why are these ninety-nine hairplants so precious?

This has to start from his origin, it turns out that these ninety-nine eggplants are actually the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, when Japan sent a large number of Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty, those Japanese students brought back from China an ordinary folk kiln tea canter.

You must know that porcelain at that time was not very popular in the Tang Dynasty, and even the mainstream living utensils used by the royal family at that time were pottery, and porcelain could not be fired at that time to be as beautiful as the Song and Yuan dynasties, so although there was a technology to burn porcelain, the porcelain at that time was not a tall thing.

The so-called coarse porcelain bowl was the main function of lacquerware at that time, and it was generally used to make daily utensils for eating and drinking tea for ordinary people, and there was no artistic ornamental ware.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty people still had the habit of storing tea in coarse porcelain jars, and the Japanese brought this tea jar and the habit of drinking tea back to Japan, and since then, Japan has gradually derived its own tea ceremony.

At that time, the Japanese upper class, in order to show that their B rank was high enough, in order to be vassally elegant, they were very obsessed with the tea ceremony.

At that time, the most obsessed with the tea ceremony of the Japanese minister, should be the Ashikaga shogun at that time, the main general in order to show his elegant taste, all over the world to search, those Japanese students from the Tang Dynasty brought back tea cans, and even for this purpose to open a special army, the name is called 'Tong Hengzhong'.

Such a small army, doing nothing else, and its daily work was to help the generals of the Muromachi shogunate find tea cans. (To be continued.) )
