Chapter 34: On-site Competition

Fake!

Shen Sa's words were like a pebble thrown into the calm lake, which suddenly caused ripples, and all the rich people present suddenly got up.

"Shen Sa said that this tea set is a fake?"

"Impossible, on such an important day as Old Chu's seventieth birthday, how could Miss Chu Xiang take a set of fakes as a birthday gift."

"Maybe Miss Chu doesn't know about it herself."

"There is this possibility, Shen Sa is also a famous treasure connoisseur in Yangcheng, he shouldn't be released without a target."

“……”

Chu Luan also looked at the purple clay pot he was playing with regretfully.

"Fake?"

Chu Junhao pretended to be surprised, and shouted in his voice: "Master Shen, you can't be mistaken, right? This is my cousin's birthday gift for my grandfather, and you can't just frame her. ”

"Chu Shao, how dare I frame Miss Chu, but there is really something wrong with this set of tea sets."

Shen Sa walked to Chu Luan's side, stretched out his hand and said, "Old Chu borrowed the purple clay pot in your hand for me to take a look." ”

Chu Luan didn't think much about it, and handed the purple clay pot to him, Shen Sa held the purple clay pot in his left hand, and pointed to the texture at the bottom of the pot with his right hand and said: "You see, these textures are rough, different sizes, and different shades, and the manufacturing method does not look like a palace palace at all." ”

Saying that, he deliberately asked some of the rich people who were close to him for the time being, and everyone nodded one after another.

Chu Junhao took the opportunity to make trouble and shouted loudly: "Chu Xiang, because grandpa loves you so much, you actually fooled his old man with a fake, is your conscience for the dog to eat!" ”

Chu Xiang's face turned pale for a while, and he really didn't know how to respond, Yang Chen suddenly burst out laughing, attracting everyone's attention.

Chu Junhao said angrily: "What are you laughing at! ”

"I laugh at this Master Shen, who only knows one thing but doesn't know the other."

Yang Chen took the purple clay pot directly from Shen Sa's palm, and said loudly: "This purple clay pot was made in the third year of Kangxi, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs not long ago, the little emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty was undecided, and Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi were entrenched in the south three times, and the coastal areas and Taiwan, and the Penghu Islands were all the forces of the Zheng family, so it can be said that the places south of the Yangtze River were not really controlled by the Qing court.

At that time, the world was undecided and the national strength was not strong, so this imperial purple clay pot was so short that the production cycle was short, and it was inevitable that there would be mistakes.

But then again, it is precisely because of its imperfection that it has survived to this day, but it is the most precious among the heirloom treasures.

Anyone who knows a little bit about antique collecting should know that the palace court before Kangxi 20 years ago had this problem.

Master Shen, this knowledge is understood by the apprentices of our gold and jade auction house, you don't know it, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Sa's face flushed, and he said unconvinced: "This ...... It's all your family's words, who can prove it true or false! ”

"He Hongjian."

Yang Chen directly reported his name, and said with a sneer: "This set of gilded tea sets was personally appraised by Elder He, the president of the Antique Association, at the charity auction yesterday, and you doubt his old man's vision?" ”

"That's right."

Some of the guests present also participated in the charity auction last night, and echoed: "I was there at the time, and I can prove that He Lao has indeed identified this tea set as genuine!" ”

At this moment, Shen Sa's face was even more red and purple, his eyes rolled sharply, he glanced at the gilded tea tray on the table, and then at the four cups, and finally his eyes fell on the purple clay pot, only to see that the wall of the pot was black and not slippery, and he thought about it and said with a sneer: "I...... I admit that this gilded tea tray and these teacups are indeed genuine, but this purple clay pot is still fake!

Everyone, please see, there are small black spots like sesame grains on the surface of the pot, even if the craftsmanship of the imperial palace in the early Kangxi period is rough, it shouldn't be so unbearable. ”

"Haha......"

As soon as he said this, Yang Chen burst into laughter, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

"You...... What are you laughing at! ”

"I laugh at you for not learning and not knowing."

Yang Chen went directly over to open the lid of the pot, pointed to the black ampulla inside, and said, "Do you still want to say that the color in here is wrong?" ”

"It'...... It's not right in the first place! ”

"Nonsense!"

Yang Chen sneered and said: "This is not even understood by Chashan, and he also said that he is an expert." ”

Tea Mountain?

Some of the younger people present didn't know why, their eyes were full of doubts, but some of the older ones understood the meaning and explained: "The reason why we often drink kung fu tea and use purple clay pots to make tea instead of porcelain is because of the porosity of the purple sand pot, so that the tea can overflow and not rot, but also because of the characteristics of the purple sand pot, it is often necessary to make tea for a long time, and the color of the tea soup in the pot slowly seeps out through the pores, so there are small black spots like sesame seeds on the surface;

As for the black belly inside the teapot, the same is true, the organic matter in the tea leaves is still attached to the inner wall of the kettle, and a layer of tea dirt will slowly accumulate, which is commonly known as the tea mountain.

The so-called pot in our tea ceremony industry is actually to raise this layer of tea mountain, according to my opinion, the color of the tea mountain in this purple clay pot can not raise a thick tea mountain without three generations.

Not to mention whether this purple clay pot is a Kangxi royal product, this layer of tea mountain alone is the best in the pot.

If it weren't for Chu Lao's 70th birthday today, I would have wanted to offer 1 million to win people's love! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and a few young people couldn't help but say: "Tea Mountain? Isn't it just not cleaned? ”

"You little ones don't learn anything."

At this time, it was proved that this set of gilded tea sets was indeed genuine, Chu Luan was in a good mood, and scolded a few young people with a smile: "The tea mountain is accumulated over time and experience, which is the same as playing jade to make the pulp, and actually let a few of you little guys say that it is not cleaned."

I'm going to show you the benefits of Tea Mountain today. Come on, get a pot of hot water! ”

The housekeeper Lao Niu quickly took a pot of hot water that had just been boiled, and Chu Luan poured the hot water into the purple clay pot, obviously there was no tea in the pot, but the tea fragrance was overflowing.

"Smell it, this is the taste of the tea mountain!"

Chu Luan proudly displayed in front of everyone with a purple clay pot, and everyone showed a look of amazement, the more he was so happy.

"Xiangxiang, this is grandpa's favorite birthday gift, you have a heart!"

The more satisfied Chu Luan was with the purple clay pot in his hand, the more he liked this beloved granddaughter.

"Such a good thing must not be cheap, you and I will report the number when you go back, and grandpa will help you reimburse."

"Grandpa, how can your granddaughter's birthday gift still cost your money."

Chu Xiang stepped forward and grabbed Chu Luan's arm, and said with a smile: "And this set of tea sets Yang Chen helped me pick up a big leak - it only cost 100,000 yuan, and I can still give it to your granddaughter." ”

Only 100,000 for such a good thing?!

Chu Luan, like all the guests, showed a look of surprise.

"Come on...... Come, Xiangxiang, hurry up and tell grandpa, how did you pick up this leak? ”

At that moment, Chu Xiang told the story of yesterday's charity auction, and everyone cast admiring glances at Yang Chen.

"Brother Yang, good skills!"

"Old Chu, I'm just lucky......"

"That's right, I think he's just lucky, he doesn't necessarily have real skills!"

Yang Chen was just modest, but Chu Junhao followed his words and said: "Speaking of real skills, Master Shen Sa Shen has more than 20 years of experience, for example, this time he helped me find Tang Bohu's "Gu Yu" calligraphy and painting on Hong Kong Island, which is also very powerful......

"Yes, Master Shen is amazing."

Chu Xiang directly interrupted him and said with a sneer: "I don't know Chashan, Expert Shen is really capable!" ”

"I ...... I admit that I don't know much about the tea ceremony, but as far as the treasure is concerned, I am not weaker than anyone else. ”

Shen Sa blushed, stared at Yang Chen and said, "Do you dare to compete with me on the spot to see whose treasure appreciation skills are more powerful!" ”
