After coming out of Old Man Zhu's house, Yang Jing's mood was very beautiful, because he not only bought ten sets of purple clay pots from Old Man Zhu, but the old man also enthusiastically led Yang Jing around and helped Yang Jing buy more purple clay pots.

Although the purchase of ten sets of purple clay pots from the old man has made this journey worthwhile, Yang Jing really didn't expect that Old Man Zhu would be so enthusiastic and want to lead him around

But when I think about it, I am relieved, this must be the old man who thinks that he has taken a big advantage by selling these ten sets of purple clay pots for 3,000 yuan, and he also reveals that he still wants to buy some high-quality purple sand pots, the purple sand pots in the hands of this old man cannot be sold, but there are still many high-quality purple clay pots in the hands of people he knows, so the old man decided to lead himself around in order to make up for himself

However, the old man's legs and feet are not very good, and if he goes around, even if he is walking around this Gunan Street, it is estimated that the old man will be tired after a circle.

But it doesn't matter, the old man has his own travel artifact for the elderly in this era, a tricycle!

"This tricycle was given to me by the cooperative in the 60s, when I used it to pull things, but now that I'm old, I can't pull things, so I can only ride out by myself, but it's also safe. ”

Yang Jing was also happy, Yang Jing, who knew Master Zhu's life experience, naturally understood what the old man said about the cooperative, this cooperative should be the "Shushan Pottery Production Cooperative" at that time, that is, the predecessor of the Yixing Zisha Craft Factory, which was established by the old man in front of him, Master Gu Jingzhou, Master Ren Ganting and several others in response to the call of the country in 1954 and organized the purple sand artists in their hometown.

Speaking of which, this tricycle is also nearly 30 years old, but this car is very well maintained, except for some places where the paint has fallen off, other parts, especially the key parts, are shiny.

Yang Jing will pedal the tricycle, go up and try it, it is easy to ride, so he said with a smile: "Old man, get in the car, little Yangzi is waiting for you!"

"Haha, you kid. The old man was also amused, "Don't hurry up and leave, don't you want those pots of yours?"

Yang Jing waved his hand and said, "Let's put it here for you, if I can buy other pots in a while, then pull them to you one piece, and I'll find a car to transport them together." ”

The old man thought about it, nodded, and sat on the body of the tricycle, Yang Jing shouted: "You sit down, let's go!"

The old lady Zhuang on the side, that is, Master Zhu's wife, looked at the two of them with a smile and waved her hand.

At this time, the sky was already bright, the temperature was gradually rising, and there were more people on the street.

However, the summer in Jiangnan was not very pleasant, and the hot weather soon made Yang Jing's clothes wet.

"Xiao Yang, you're not used to the weather here, aren't you?" The old man sat in the car and could naturally see Yang Jing's sweat-soaked clothes clearly, so he asked.

"Well, it's a lot hotter here than in England, and I'm a little uncomfortable when I'm a newcomer. But no problem, I'm young, and this hot flashes can't help me. ”

"Hehe, young people's physical strength is good. By the way, Xiao Yang, how old are you this year?"

"Twenty-six years old, just in May. ”

"Alas, I really envy young people of your age. I was already a father of two children when I was your age, and I had just been out of school for six years, and I was busy working every day, and I never felt tired. It's not going to be now, and if you move a little, you won't be able to keep up with your physical strength. ”

"Haha, old man, can you say this, I see that you are still old and strong. By the way, where are we going to go first?"

"Well, let's go to Mr. Yunqing's house first. ”

"Mr. Yunqing?" Yang Jing turned his head a little strangely, the name was a little unfamiliar to him.

"Oh, it's Pei Shimin. His original name was Pei Yunqing, and Shi Min was his stage name, just like my stage name was Kexin. ”

As soon as the old man said this, Yang Jing knew that the Mr. Yunqing that the old man was talking about was actually Master Pei Shimin in the "Seven Elders of Zisha" who was the same as the old man.

Although the "Seven Elders of Zisha" were gathered together because of the establishment of the "Shushan Pottery Production Cooperative" in Shushan in response to the call of the country, not all of them were locals in Dingshu Town.

Among the seven elders of Shushan, Master Gu Jingzhou, Master Zhu Kexin, Master Pei Shimin and Master Jiang Rong are from Dingshu Town, and the other Master Ren Ganting are from Yixing, but not from Dingshu Town, and Master Wu Yungen is from Heqiao Town in the north of Yixing, and Dingshu Town is across the urban area of Yixing from one north and one south. As for Master Wang Yinchun, he is from Zhenjiang, and he is far from Yixing.

Yang Jing knew all this information, so he asked a little strangely: "Old man, isn't this Master Pei already dead, what are we going to do at his house?"

Master Pei Shimin died as early as 1976, in fact, by 1982, only Master Gu Jingzhou, Master Jiang Rong and the old man in front of him were still in the Zisha Seven Elders, and the other four masters had passed away.

"Don't you want a fine purple clay pot? Although Lao Pei has passed away for several years, he still has a few pots made by him back then, all of which are quite good, I will take you over to see, if Lao Pei's child is willing to sell it to you, won't you buy it? Well, you slow down, turn right in the alley in front of you."

Under the guidance of Old Man Zhu, Yang Jing pedaled a tricycle and soon came to the former residence of Master Pei Shimin. Master Pei's home is similar to the house where Mr. Zhu lives now, both of which are two-story small buildings with brick and wood structures, and according to Mr. Zhu, this is now where Master Pei's eldest son lives here.

The arrival of Old Man Zhu surprised Master Pei's eldest son, but the friendship between the two families was very good, so when Old Man Zhu explained his intention and showed that Yang Jing was willing to buy the purple clay pot at a price of 300 yuan a piece, Master Pei's eldest son took out seven purple clay pots very happily.

"These are all pots left behind by my dad after he left, and they were all made by my dad back then, I can guarantee that. Master Pei's eldest son said very firmly.

These seven pots are all single pots, and there are no complete sets, but these pots all make Yang Jing's eyes shine.

The styles of these seven pots are very simple, and they are obviously the works of Master Pei's imitation of his ancestors. But it is precisely for this reason that these seven pots are precious.

You must know that Master Pei's nickname is "Mingyuan Second", and he has always been known for imitating the works of Chen Mingyuan, the master of purple sand in the Qing Dynasty. The purple clay pots of Chen Mingyuan and other ancestors that he imitated, both in shape and charm, are enough to confuse the real with the fake. In particular, the "Tianji Pot" imitated by Chen Mingyuan after Master Pei arrived in Huhai was known as "the twin brother of Chen Mingyuan's Tianji Pot".

That pot is indeed made at home, and it is full of shape, even if it is put together with Master Chen Mingyuan's Tianji pot, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity.

Later, Master Pei imitated a series of ancient works such as "Dragon and Phoenix Pot", "Golden Toad Water Cup", "Tianluo Water Cup", "Gourd Water Cup", etc., and Master Pei's fame soared to the sky.

Master Pei is known for imitating ancient works, and several of his pots that have sold for millions of yuan in later generations are all imitation ancient works.

And the seven single pots in front of him are all imitation ancient works, for Yang Jing, there is nothing better than this
