Silent.

"Why is this watch so thick? ......" After a while, Director Liu broke the silence.

"Well, it's a self-winding watch. As long as you wear it on your hand, you don't need to be energetic......"

Obviously, Director Liu had never seen an automatic mechanical watch, and Fan Jianxin patiently explained.

"Oh, so amazing! ......”

Director Liu sighed, and did not return the watch to Fan Jianxin, but took the teacup back into his hand.

"Isn't this porcelain valuable?"

"How so? ...... Those who like it feel very precious; In the eyes of people who don't like it, it's just porcelain. Uh, Director Liu, I'm a bit of a love, if you really don't want to change, forget it......"

This is Fan Jianxin's skill to pick up leaks, and he wants to catch it. If you want too much, it will make people think too much and make people hesitate.

"Nope! It's just that...... So, you, you're at a loss. ”

"For those who like to collect, there is nothing to lose. Everything as long as the heart is good......"

People's preferences, after all, are different.

"Good. In that case, you just wait here, and my family lives in the back yard. I'm going to get those pieces of porcelain......"

"Well, no, how can you make such a big effort, I'll just go get it."

At this time, it was getting late, and only in the clouds of the western sky, I could see a faint glow of orange and yellow.

Fan Jianxin thinks it's a good sign.

He and Hua Wei followed Director Liu to his house......

The door was opened by a woman of about forty years of age, tall and beautiful, wearing an apron, as if she were cooking.

"This is my closest lover...... Director Liu said flatteringly, and then briefly introduced Fan Jianxin and Hua Wei to the woman.

"Oh, hello sister." Fan Jianxin glanced at the woman and bowed to her slightly, and Hua Wei followed Fan Jianxin as well.

When the woman saw this, she was a little strange, where did anyone meet and bow now? With his beautiful big eyes, he looked at the people, and when he saw that it was just two young people, he snorted coldly, which was regarded as a greeting.

Hua Wei looked at the woman's age and appearance, and said in his heart, "It's bad, I'm afraid that the new boy has met Aunt Nemesis again......" couldn't help but be vigilant and worried.

Who knew that today, Fan Jianxin's expression was very indifferent, and he did not have the gaffe when he saw Xingjuan, the beautiful manager of the "trendy" shopping mall in Shanghai.

How did he know how much Fan Jianxin resented this loser in front of him in his heart! He is here for the treasure "Mao porcelain" in porcelain, how can he have the heart to pay attention to her appearance?

"Xiao Cui, what about the set of tableware that Lao Zheng gave me, find it out and give it to Comrade Xiao Fan......"

"What cutlery?! ...... I do not know! ”

The beautiful woman named Xiaocui became angry when she heard her husband mention the set of utensils.

"It was sent to me by Lao Zheng in Jingdezhen...... That set of cutlery. ”

"Smashed...... Smashed by me! ”

Fan Jianxin's body shook, Hua Wei was quick this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him......

"Smashed?! …… What did you say?! ——”

Director Liu's voice became a little sharp, almost roaring, and his face suddenly turned blue, almost saving water. Pulling his daughter-in-law's arm, he walked into the bedroom without saying a word...... was angrily thrown away by his daughter-in-law.

However, the beautiful woman followed her husband into the bedroom.

After a while, the beautiful woman took the lead in walking out of the bedroom, smiling like a flower, nodding at Fan Jianxin, and went straight to the kitchen.

Soon, she held a cardboard box and put it on the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall, looking at Fan Jianxin with a smile, like a little fan girl.

The moment the carton fell on the table, there was a sound of clash of porcelain, which almost made Fan Jianxin faint!

Fan Jianxin hurriedly opened the carton, and there were moldy soup and rice stains, and dozens of large and small tableware with damage and cracks were presented in front of him.

"Tyrannical creatures! Boiled crane burning qin! ”

Fan Jianxin came up with these two words in his head.

……

During the Spring Festival, Director Liu's daughter-in-law's maiden family came to a group of relatives of old and young, men and women. The daughter-in-law used the beautiful set of tableware that her husband had brought back from a business trip to serve the dishes.

Unexpectedly, the set of utensils looked very beautiful, but it was broken without bumping and not paying attention.

Because of this, after the guest left, her husband blamed her for not taking this set of utensils for the guests.

The woman has been short-tempered since she was a child, how can she stand such a grievance?! In a fit of rage, I fell a few more.

The angry Director Liu scolded, "Crazy woman, unreasonable!" He slammed the door and walked away, and he didn't go home for a few days.

The woman was born willful, and she didn't see her husband come back in the middle of the night, and the house was a mess of broken porcelain! It was the New Year's Day, and I was afraid that there would be guests to come to pay New Year's greetings the next day, so I had to clean up the broken porcelain while muttering "broken peace".

So I used a cardboard box, and this set of porcelain, even without washing, was packed up haphazardly, and put it away.

This matter became a knot in the hearts of the two of them, and they didn't want to mention it again, so a few months passed.

What the woman didn't expect was that a young man from Mizhou came today, who seemed to have a very solid family, and actually took an imported watch made in Switzerland to exchange, how could the woman not be happy? !

Fan Jianxin looked at a box of ruined and unsightly "Mao porcelain", his heart was like a knife, and tears almost flowed down......

He didn't say a word, just gently hugged the box in his arms, turned around and left.

"Hey, little, little comrade, this watch can't be stealing...... Stolen, right? The woman shouted after Fan Jianxin.

"I was in Shanghai and spent $880...... Bought. Fan Jianxin didn't look back, he really didn't want to see this woman's face again, "I'll send the invoice when I go back......"

When the woman heard this, she was overjoyed.

......

In the spring of 1975, the Central Office issued a top-secret document to Jingdezhen, codenamed "Project 7501".

So far, the firing research and development of "Mao porcelain" has kicked off.

At that time, more than 10,000 pieces of porcelain blanks were developed, 22 kilns were fired, and only more than 4,000 pieces of finished products were produced. After careful selection, more than 1,000 pieces were sent to the capital, a small amount was sent to Hunan, and the rest was sealed in Jingdezhen.

According to the regulations, all the storage should be destroyed, but considering that the special porcelain will be damaged in the process of use and needs to be replenished, only a part of it was destroyed, and a part was still left.

This set of porcelain mainly includes tea sets, tableware, wine sets, vases, hanging plates, etc., a total of 138 pieces.

There are art ceramics, fine ceramics and general ceramics.

The dozens of pieces that Fan Jianxin got are only a part of the general ceramics.

The craftsmanship of "Mao porcelain" is more than that of the Song and Ming official kilns, and it is the creation of the red porcelain system.

The porcelain pattern is made of underglaze red plum and overglaze water peach blossom, etc., and the "water peach blossom" pattern is the leader's old man's own point.

On the eve of the Spring Festival in 1982, the Jingdezhen Porcelain Research Institute distributed some of the sealed small pieces of "7501" porcelain, together with other inventory products, to the employees of the institute as welfare, so that a small amount was lost to the society.

It was not until the Guangzhou Guardian auction in 1997 that "Mao Porcelain" made its first public appearance and immediately amazed everyone.

At that time, a red plum blossom bowl was still sought after by collectors despite the glaze cracks, and was finally sold for 88,000 yuan.

In the era of Fan Jianxin's rebirth, a "Mao porcelain" spoon was also auctioned for 100,000 yuan, and a small porcelain bowl was sold for 1.7 million yuan......

......

Fan Jianxin hugged the cardboard box, got directly into the back seat of the jeep, sat next to Hua Wen, and asked, "Sister, has the money been counted?" ”

"Well, new brother, it's counted. A total of $66,380. ”

Hua Wen's big eyes flashed with brilliance, and the new brother was like a god of wealth in her eyes. When she and her sisters talked about the new brother at home, the most they talked about was how the new brother would make money.

Hua Wei saw Fan Jianxin sweeping away the heart-wrenching appearance just now, his eyes showed a sly gaze, and his face was very cheap...... knew that at Director Liu's house just now, Fan Jianxin's distressed appearance was deliberately pretended.

Purpose: Take the opportunity to leave quickly.

He wondered if his fainting was also faked in the office of the supply and marketing cooperative......

Fan Jianxin doesn't care what Hua Wei thinks, at this time, the "Mao porcelain" is in hand, and it is important to protect it.

He pulled the snakeskin bag full of banknotes under Hua Wen's legs and pulled it over. Pick open the mouth of the bag, take out the banknotes in the bag, and pull off the rubber band that binds the banknotes...... Then, use banknotes to carefully wrap the tableware in the cardboard box one by one, and then smash the rubber band.

When Hua Wen was working in the grain and oil store of Yuejin Flour Mill, she learned from Fan Jianxin's mother how to tie bills with a few hands, which were neatly tied and looked like.

Fan Jianxin took out bundles of banknotes, untied them, crumpled them, laid a thick layer under the carton, and then carefully put the wrapped tableware back into the carton one by one.

And between the cutlery, stuffed with a crumpled crumpled pulp......

After doing all this, he instructed Hua Wei to drive home. Tomorrow, he has to take the last day of the mock exam.

This box of "wool porcelain", after careful counting, a total of 31 pieces. 3 of them have notches or small cracks, 4 discs, only 3 disc covers; There was a teacup, and a handle was broken......

"Hi ......"

Fan Jianxin sighed and said to the brother and sister: "The money for the tableware is mine, and the rest of the money is the hard work of your brother and sister in the past few days......

Hua Wen roughly counted the money in the snakeskin bag and said, "Brother Xin, it took less than 10,000 yuan to pack the tableware, and there are still 50,000 or 60,000 yuan left...... In this business, you contributed the most, but you got too little money! ......”

"Your new brother and me, with these tableware, I don't care about any money......"

Fan Jianxin felt that he had used a lot of money to wrap the tableware just now. However, at this time, the largest face value of banknotes was only 10 yuan, and 1,000 pieces were only 10,000 yuan.

No matter how these 31 pieces of cutlery are wrapped, less than a thousand pieces will be used.

Hua Wei drove cautiously and didn't speak for a long time. When the car left the county seat and drove onto the provincial highway, he asked, "How much is this set of porcelain worth?" ”

"How so? ...... It's not worth it now, after all, the production time is only seven or eight years, and after ten or twenty years, it will slowly become valuable. ”

"Oh...... It's just a pity that this set of porcelain fell a few pieces...... I'm going to go to Shanghai the day after tomorrow, so I'll take a detour from Jingdezhen to see if I can get it all for you......"

"It's impossible to get it together, this set of 138 pieces of tableware, Director Liu only got 38 pieces, even if one is not broken, it is still far behind!"

"Oh...... Xinzai, I know that you are at Director Liu's house, and you are distressed and dizzy. But...... You fainted in Director Liu's office, but I can't tell if you are pretending or really dizzy? ”

"Half-pretended, half-true."

"Oh......" Hua Wei pondered for a moment and said, "why are you doing this?" ......”

"Alas, Director Liu is not a gangster or a pawn peddler, but a capable temperament, a unit leader who leads hundreds of employees. His friend could give him such a valuable set of cutlery, it was impossible for him not to know the preciousness of this set of cutlery. ”

"I helped him get rid of a lot of unsalable goods...... He was grateful to me, and if I asked him for the cup he was drinking from, he would be willing to give it to me. Besides, I also said that my mother liked the cup......"

Director Liu is a sincere person, and he should also be a person who respects the old and loves the young. This is using the so-called filial piety to kidnap him.

"Hmm...... I want him to know that I know the teacup. In this way, it makes sense for him to give it away. Otherwise, if he gives you a valuable teacup, but you don't treat it well, why does he give it to you? ”

So, the more I said that the cup was precious and the more I cared, the more he was willing to give it to me. The pearl must always be given to those who understand the pearl, otherwise isn't it the pearl to be darkened? ......”
