The next thing is much easier, it is nothing more than to prepare other miscellaneous things, but this also requires Tang Chen to run forward and backward, after all, Tang Chen can't believe it a little bit.

This is related to the success or failure of breaking the game, and the preparation must not be sloppy at all. If a certain job is not prepared in place, or if there is a slight mistake in the material, it may be wasted. It's nothing to lose all the previous efforts, if the dragon veins are damaged, then Tang Chen will be to blame.

Of course, Tang Chen only had a certain degree of certainty now. As the saying goes, "it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen", whether things can be done or not depends on how lucky they are.

Tang Chen has nothing to worry about this, since his "debut", his luck seems to have been good.

But this did not mean that Tang Chen could relax, and even be more vigilant. The previous good luck gave Tang Chen a certain reputation in the feng shui circle. If one day he was unlucky and happened to mess up again, wouldn't Tang Chen's reputation be ruined? Tang Chen knew about his own family affairs and didn't dare to be careless.

"Master Tang, do you want anything else to buy?"

When he saw Tang Chen carrying a large bag of things in his hand, which contained Shanhai Town, cinnabar, realgar wine and other things, Zeng Lao was a little unbearable: "Why don't I help you get a little, it seems to be quite heavy......"

"No, no, just change hands when you're tired, it's not very heavy......," Tang Chen said recklessly, "Elder Zeng, what about the 'Eight Treasure Seal Clay'?"

Zeng Lao asked, "Master Tang, are you going to Zhangzhou to buy this 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay'?"

Tang Chen asked: "Will the 'Eight Treasure Seal Clay' in the place of origin be better? In addition to the 'Eight Treasure Seal Clay', I also have to find a seal carver to help me carve a piece of wooden seal." ”

"Master Tang, I think the 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay' in Quanzhou will be much better, and there are a lot of fine products. Zeng Lao said with a smile.

Tang Chen was stunned: "No, isn't it good to have a good place of origin?"

"That's not the case...... Zeng Lao explained, "just like Pu'er tea in Yunnan Province, although Pu'er is the production area, there are not many local Pu'er teas, not even old tree teas." The distribution center of Pu'er tea is Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province. If you want to buy the best and most authentic Pu'er tea, go to Kun Ming. This phenomenon is very common, because in the country of origin, this Pu-erh tea does not have much sales. If you only use the radiation intensity of the provincial capital Kunming, it is estimated that Pu'er tea will not be famous all over the world.

If you want to buy the best and most authentic Tieguanyin, in fact, it is the same reason. Although Qingxi is a place where Tieguanyin is produced, the sales of good Tieguanyin will not be in Qingxi, but in Quanzhou (Quan). Therefore, it is not wrong to buy Tieguanyin to Quanzhou (Quan), and even go to the capital of Guangdong Province to buy it, and there are also many high-quality Tieguanyin and Pu'er tea. The truth is the same, the more big cities, the more demand, and only in big cities will more people be able to afford to consume the most high-end goods.

As for the 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay', the same is true. Zhangzhou ...... To tell the truth, in fact, the standard of living is not very good, so how many people will use the 'Eight Treasures Ink' seal to paint? I'm afraid it's not much, right? Everyone has to run for a living, how can they have the leisure time to paint? Besides, the manufacturers also have to survive, what if there are no local customers? I can only go to the big cities to develop business, after all, in Quanzhou (Quan) Prefecture, there will be many more people who paint and stamp, and the consumption power is also much stronger. The price of this 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay' is not cheap!"

Tang Chen nodded and said, "Of course it's not a lot of money! This 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay' is made of eight kinds of precious raw materials, such as musk, pearls, monkey dates, agate, coral, gold leaf, plum slices, and amber, and after grinding them into powder, adding aged oil, castor oil, silver cinnabar, magenta, and mugwort, and only after careful ingredients and special processing can there be such cinnabar, if the selling price is low, wouldn't it be a loss?"

"That's right, so almost all of the 'Eight Treasure Seal Clay' sold on the market are under the pretense. The real 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay' has eight advantages, such as fresh color, fragrant smell, no soaking in water, no traces of fire burning, no drying in dry days, no mildew in rainy days, no oil seepage in summer, and no freezing in winter. Its color is vermilion, bright and dazzling, delicate and thick, the smell is fragrant, it does not condense in winter, it does not leak in summer, it does not dry in heat, it does not mildew in rain, and the imprint is clear and never fades. Even if it is burned with fire, the glyphs on the paper ash are still legible. Zeng Lao sneered, "Such a treasure is only sold for a few hundred yuan, who believes it?"

If there are other things, it is just that, for the specialties of Fujian Province, Zeng Lao is familiar with it, and he will come as soon as he opens his mouth.

“...... Alas, I also know that this phenomenon cannot be eradicated. Who called the 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay' famous? Once something became famous, the knockoffs continued one after another. Zeng Lao sighed and said with a wry smile. What they don't know is that by doing so, they are completely self-destructing. If one day the reputation of the 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay' is ruined, then the industry will also be ruined......"

Tang Chen comforted Zeng Lao and said, "Not everyone in the world likes to covet small bargains......"

Zeng Lao nodded: "As far as I know, the most purchased 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay' belongs to painters and connoisseurs in Fujian Province, and it is even provided to the temple for consecration." 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay' is not only a stationery item, but also a tourist souvenir. Tourists who travel to Zhangzhou also spend a lot of ......"

Tang Chen frowned, but he didn't say anything, and said in his heart: "Use it to open the light, don't say anything, this effect will be very poor, and seeing those monks and Taoists is only half a bucket of water......"

"It's not early now, if you rush to it now, it should be too ......late" Zeng Lao looked at the sky, first muttered to himself, and then said, "Master Tang, I happen to know an old shop of 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay', which contains six grades, such as special tribute, first-class tribute, tribute, superlative, treasure, and top-grade, with half a tael, one tael, two taels, four taels, ten taels, twenty taels and other loads, including camphor wood boxes, rebirth boxes, There are three types of decorations such as leather boxes, and 12 varieties of cinnabar mud, with a total of 84 varieties and specifications. ”

Tang Chen was stunned: "Elder Zeng, do you know so clearly?"

Zeng Lao smiled mysteriously: "In order to learn to collect over the years, I have studied a lot of ink clay alone!"

Tang Chen couldn't help but admire, sure enough, interest is the best teacher. Although Zeng Lao is old, he loves antiques, loves collecting, and even studies so seriously, he is not lost to some young people at all. Even many young people sitting in the classroom can't compare to his unashamed spirit of questioning. Taking his attitude towards Tang Chen as an example, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with asking the young Tang Chen for advice, but felt that it was right.

Tang Chen asked himself: "If it were me, would I study so seriously?" He already knew the answer in his heart, and Tang Chen sighed inaudibly.
