Chapter Twenty-Nine

Hearing Ye Qian say that the age of the cup was not lower than that of the Jiajing period, not only Luo Xing showed great shock, but even Feng Jiang was suppressed.

Doucai porcelain is naturally the best in the Chenghua period, but the Ming Dynasty has also made Doucai many times since Chenghua, although the quality and texture are some differences with the genuine products in the Chenghua period, and the price can not be compared with it, but it is also a very valuable antique.

Of course, the Qing Dynasty also had official kilns to fire imitations during the period of various emperors, but compared with the imitations of the Ming Dynasty, it was already a big difference, let alone compared with the original.

If this bucket color is really a bucket color in the Jiajing period, then its price should be at least more than 20 million, and there is no market.

Before Feng Jiang could speak, Luo Xing couldn't help it a little, and blurted out, "Mr. Ye, how do you know that this porcelain is an imitation from the Jiajing period?" Obviously, from all aspects, this porcelain will never be earlier than the Republic of China. ”

"Hehe, don't say, don't say."

Ye Qian sold it and said to Feng Jiang: "Boss Feng, can I take this porcelain back to deal with it, and you can pick it up at Lingyuxuan in three days." ”

Feng Jiang groaned: "This ...... This in itself is a thing of three thousand yuan, and it is not a big deal to give it to you, but then again, Luo Xing's detention here this time is in itself my dereliction of duty, and it is really not good to ......ask for it again."

Although he didn't finish speaking, Feng Jiang's meaning was already very clear, Feng Jiang himself did not believe that this porcelain would be Doucai porcelain in the Jiajing period, he thought that Ye Qian deliberately found an excuse to compensate for his losses, took a fake Doucai porcelain away, and gave him a genuine product.

Ye Qian naturally heard the meaning of Feng Jiang's words, shook his head and smiled: "It seems that Boss Feng has no confidence in my eyesight and craftsmanship...... Well, to put you at ease, I'll tell you the trick. ”

After speaking, Ye Qian poured half a cup of tea in this chicken bowl cup of Doucai porcelain, the color of Qimen black tea is rich and pure red, clear to the bottom, Ye Qian poured tea not to drink, but pointed to the bottom of the chicken bowl cup and said: "Two, on the eyes, can you see anything abnormal?" ”

Luo Xing and Feng Jiang came up together, first looked at it with full attention, and then shook his head with wide eyes, Feng Jiang first said: "Mr. Ye, what is the mystery here, you can say it directly." ”

Luo Xing also helped on the side: "Yes, Mr. Ye, don't sell Guanzi." ”

Nodding slightly, Ye Qian put his hand into the cup, tapped the warm tea into his fingertips, and then motioned for the two of them to come closer with his eyes, and said, "See, on the side of my finger, where the tea and this porcelain cup are attached, do you find anything?" ”

Feng Jiang didn't notice any difference, Luo Xing's eyesight was a little higher, and he frowned and said, "Mr. Ye, there seems to be a layer of something between this tea and this chicken bowl cup." ”

Hearing this, Feng Jiang blinked vigorously, observing the subtle changes in the bottom of the cup, and was a little surprised: "Really, don't say it, I also think there is something in it when you mention it, what the hell is going on?" ”

Shaking his head, Ye Gan looked proud, and he had the intention to say all the things contained in it, but there were too many contents involved, and he could only explain it little by little: "There is a word called set of porcelain, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”

Feng Jiang said: "I know this, this is very popular in the north, which means that it is close to a relationship." ”

Ye Qian waved his hand: "That's not what I said. The set of porcelain I am talking about is a craft. ”

"Craft?"

Luo Xing pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said: "I seem to have heard my grandfather talk about this word, it seems to be an ancient craft, but I just have a vague impression, and I don't know what it is." ”

Nodding secretly, Ye Qianxin said that he didn't blame Wang Banxian for relying on Luo Fu so much, if it weren't for his own super library system, it would be impossible to know such a rare knowledge, Luo Xing was able to hear some words from Luo Fu, which was enough to explain Luo Fu's ability.

Thinking of this, Ye Qian couldn't help but look up to Luo Xing a little, and had a thought in his heart to cultivate Luo Xing to become a talent, so he said:

"When it comes to the craft of porcelain, it has to be linked with our ancient social environment, we all know that there are few peaceful and prosperous times in ancient times, and there are many times when there is a shortage of wars, especially when it comes to changing dynasties, those big families will be impacted. Many families have been in the inheritance for one or two hundred years after encountering a war disaster, and since then they have been in a state of collapse. ”

"In order to preserve the family property so that it can be resurrected after the disaster is over, the big families and families have come up with a lot of ideas. Although it is said that gold is hidden in troubled times, and antiques are bought in prosperous times, but in troubled times, these antiques can't be thrown away in vain, right? So they invented a lot of techniques for preserving antiques, and porcelain sets are one of them, which is specially used to preserve high-value porcelain. ”

"You think, fine porcelain, not only the big families know, but there may also be those who know how to do it, if it is copied, it will be difficult to get it back, so they came up with a way, ask those skilled craftsmen to cover the antique porcelain with a new layer of clay, into the furnace and re-burn, just like a layer of clothing on the outside, and then wrap an extra layer of porcelain on the porcelain. In this way, if you run away with these things in the future, others will think that it is just ordinary porcelain, even if it is snatched away or lost, and the world will be peaceful in the future and find an opportunity to find it back. ”

Feng Jiang nodded again and again when he heard this, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Ye, do you mean that this Doucai chicken bowl cup that looks like a fake is actually a set of porcelain?" ”

"Not bad." Ye Qian nodded.

Feng Jiang frowned: "But there is another question, you said that since the production of the set of porcelain itself is to avoid the rebellion, why did you burn this thing so well?" Isn't it easier for people to see the copying? ”

Ye Qian took a sip of tea and did not rush to answer Feng Jiang's question, but turned to Luo Xing and asked, "What about you, what do you think?" ”

Luo Xing, who was frowning, heard Ye Qian's question, and hurriedly said: "I guessed what the person who made this set of porcelain for one or two points thought, and this may be his cleverness." ”

Clearing his throat, Luo Xing continued: "First of all, since it is to avoid military disasters or other disasters, then the loss of this porcelain is probably an inevitable thing, so it is much safer to burn the original genuine product into a porcelain that is an imitation at a glance than to burn it into an ordinary porcelain cup, after all, this porcelain is well-made, and if it is taken away by someone who knows how to take it away at a low price, I am afraid that it will not be used to drink tea all day long, but will be placed there to watch, just like Boss Feng did before. In this way, the safety of this porcelain can be guaranteed to a certain extent. ”

Luo Xing sorted out his thoughts a little and continued: "The second point is that the maker of this set of porcelain has stamped his own seal under this imitation doucai cup, I am afraid that it is so that in the future, the world will be able to find the lost things through this seal." After all, to be able to fire such a piece of fine imitation porcelain, it is already a master, and it will definitely be circulated in a circle, and it will be convenient to come to the door to receive the goods at that time, which is much easier than going to find luck one by one......

Ye Qian nodded frequently after hearing this, saw Luo Xing stop, and said with a smile: "Very good, is there anything else that I need to explain?" ”

Seeing Luo Xing shaking his head, Ye Qian continued: "What Luo Xing just said is already very detailed, but I will add one more point, that is, it can avoid many buyers. In the Republic of China, antiques were not valuable, and antique things were even less valuable, but no matter how worthless they were, they were not affordable by ordinary people, because this was a high-quality imitation of well-made but knew that it was fake at a glance, so it was impossible for ordinary people to spend money to buy it back to drink tea, and the real nobles of the big families would not buy this thing back, so it was basically guaranteed that this porcelain would only fall into the hands of ordinary rich people in the end, which could not only narrow the scope, but also minimize the cost of recovering porcelain. ”

Feng Jiang suddenly realized, high-fived and said, "I see, so it is...... It seems that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, but since the person who made this set of porcelain has thought about it so comprehensively, why did this thing end up in my hands? ”

"This is called man is not as good as heaven!"

Ye Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In the troubled times of the Republic of China, who can know where a thing ends up?" In fact, every dynasty has made a set of porcelain, but it is basically impossible to find all of them in the end, but as long as three or five pieces or even one or two pieces can be recovered in a batch of porcelain, it is also an opportunity to start anew, so this thing can be met but not sought. ”

"I see......"

Feng Jiang stroked the beard under his chin and asked again, "Then how did Mr. Ye tell that this porcelain is a set of porcelain?" I didn't have any tea just now......"

Ye Qian said modestly: "It's just a coincidence, just now when I entered the house, I had noticed this doucai porcelain cup, at that time I just thought that this thing was imitated well, but just now I thought about it, since the craftsmanship is so good, there is no reason to make such a big mistake in the overall volume of porcelain, so I went closer to see, and really made me sure that this is a set of porcelain, in fact, it is its bottom model." ”

The so-called bottom section is the bottom of the money, some porcelain money is inside, some are outside, and the money on the outside is generally called the bottom money.

Feng Jiang recalled for a moment, and said carefully: "I remember, the bottom of this porcelain seems to be ...... Liuyin Mountain people? ”

"Yes, it's the people of Liuyin Mountain."

Ye Qian nodded and said: "I once saw a set of porcelain by chance, and it is exactly the same as this technique, and the bottom of that set of porcelain is also from Liuyin Mountain...... If it weren't for this style and technique, I'm not sure this is a set of porcelain. ”

At this time, Luo Xing suddenly remembered something, and his face became very strange. Ye Qian and Feng Jiang looked over curiously, and Ye Qian asked: "Luo Xing, what's wrong with you, you were shocked, have you ever heard of the name of the people of Liuyin Mountain?" ”

Luo Xing's face showed a trace of inexplicable emotion: "I am familiar with the name Liuyin Mountain People, if I remember correctly, I have a bucket color porcelain at home that is signed by Liuyin Mountain People." ”
