Chapter 76: The Wonders of the Tea Spout

"What? Someone breaks the rules? ”

Mei San's voice was very loud, and his voice immediately shocked many people. Some pedestrians walking nearby, as well as guests drinking tea in the teahouse, looked over in surprise, and some even came directly to see the excitement and asked, "Who broke the rules?" ”

"What's the rule?"

"That's this kid!" Mei San's face was cold, and he pointed at Ye Chaoyang and said, "I trade with people, this kid is troublesome!" You say, "Is this unruly?" ”

"Ouch, isn't this the little brother from last time?"

"Bao Zhongbao, Teacher Ye!" Someone immediately recognized Ye Chaoyang's origin.

When Ye Chaoyang heard "Treasure of Treasures", the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, which bastard gave such a nickname, don't let me catch it!

But everyone had no ill intentions, so he had to smile and say, "Everyone, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"You, you're not a clerk here? Are you the boss here? Seeing others call him that, Mei San's face changed, what happened a few days ago, although he went out because of the incident and didn't see it with his own eyes, he had also heard about it.

I didn't expect it to be Ye Chaoyang himself!

Ye Chaoyang said with a smile: "You know me? ”

"I, hmph, even if you are Teacher Baoye of the Treasure Tree, you can't do anything bad about the rules!" Mei San gritted his teeth and said after snorting.

Some of the people around who had seen Ye Chaoyang also said, "Teacher Ye, why did you break the rules?" ”

"I'm not breaking the rules." Ye Chaoyang smiled, looked at Mei San and said, "I said before, your transaction is already over, don't say that I just answered this gentleman's question, even if you buy this purple clay pot, it is completely fine." ”

"Sir, could you please tell me, do you still want to trade with this Boss Mei?"

"He kicked me out of the store, and he kept pushing me down, and I didn't want to do business with him for a long time." The young man immediately shook his head and said.

Ye Chaoyang looked at everyone present with a smile and said, "Everyone, the words of this seller friend should be very clear, right?" When I talked to him, no one was planning to trade with Boss Mei, am I a bad rule? ”

"Of course it doesn't count." Everyone shook their heads, and some people looked at Mei San and said, "Boss Mei, you have kicked out all the sellers, what else is there to say?" ”

"That's it, don't talk nonsense!"

"How could Teacher Ye break the rules, I knew it was fake as soon as I heard it!"

"Hmph," Mei San snorted, stared at Ye Chaoyang and said, "Okay, even if you don't break the rules, you can buy this thing if you like it." ”

"Of course I'm going to buy it." Ye Chaoyang reached out and took the purple clay pot and said to the young man, "How much do you offer?" ”

"Two, is 100,000 okay?" The young man asked, a little apprehensive.

"Hahaha!" Mei San smiled and said: "Hear it, Mr. Ye, a purple clay pot that doesn't even have a signature, he dares to offer a price of 100,000!" You have the ability, you have a lot of money, you have a good heart, why don't you buy it quickly? ”

"Don't haggle!"

"Two hundred thousand, I want it." Ye Chaoyang said.

What!

Mei San's laughter stopped abruptly, and her eyes widened. "You, Teacher Ye, how much do you say to buy?"

"Two hundred thousand."

"Ridiculous!" Mei San sneered: "If the antique has no provenance, the value will be greatly discounted first!" 100,000 is sky-high, you actually paid 200,000? ”

"You're a fool of money, aren't you?"

"100,000 is fine." The young man sneered, feeling that Ye Chaoyang was sympathizing with him, and he was grateful and embarrassed in his heart.

Ye Chaoyang said with a smile: "Without a signature, the purple clay pot will be greatly discounted?" Do you know that this is a purple clay pot in the early Tang Dynasty, and there is no such thing as a signature? ”

"What?" Mei San's face changed.

Some of the people around who knew about purple clay pots also changed their complexions. In ancient times, the status of craftsmen was very low, ranking among the nine streams of the three religions and nine streams, and they could not be on the stage. Therefore, no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it is just a craftsman.

It wasn't until later that there was a patriarch-level figure in Yixing, who conquered a lot of literati with his superb craftsmanship, so he dared to sign his name on the purple clay pot. Since then, the ancient Chinese purple clay pot has become a work of art, and the purple clay pot makers with sufficient strength have followed the example of this founding patriarch and left their names on the purple clay pot, which has become a tradition.

But if there is no signature, it does not mean that something is bad.

"You, why do you say this is from the Tang Dynasty!" Mei San gritted her teeth, not wanting to admit it.

Ye Chaoyang touched the purple clay pot, it felt delicate and extremely comfortable, opened the tea lid with a smile, and pointed to the outlet in the teapot, which is the so-called filter plug, "The filter hole of the teapot now, because of the progress of the process, the holes are very small, but also very many, and very fine, just like a steel wool ball." ”

"But in the past, the ancient level of craftsmanship could not do this, so in the Tang Dynasty or before the teapot, the filter hole often only had three or four holes, and the mouth was also large, and there was not even a filter hole, which directly led to the tea mouthpiece. When pouring tea, it is easy to pour out a piece of tea leaves. ”

"You can look at the filter hole of this teapot, there is not a single filter hole."

"Ouch, it's true." Some people came over to see that there were really no filter holes. This is basically impossible on a modern teapot.

Because people drink tea now, the tea leaves are often very small, unlike the ancients, some tea leaves are very coarse, after being soaked in hot water, the tea leaves are very large, and often they will not be poured out with the tea, even if there is no filter hole, in fact, the problem is not big.

"Even if there is no filter hole, it doesn't mean that this teapot is genuine, right?" Mei San was still unconvinced, gritted his teeth and asked, "What if someone deliberately imitates it like this?" ”

"It's a possibility, so let's look at the tea spout."

Ye Chaoyang smiled and said, "The spout of this teapot is shiny, and the tea owner should like to drink tea directly with the tea mouthpiece." ”

"Only in this way will the slurry be formed here. Ordinary counterfeiting will never be able to do this. ”

"Even if you can make the outside of the tea mouth shiny, it is absolutely difficult to do it inside."

"Well said!" Some immediately applauded, their eyes lit up, and they felt like they had learned.

Mei San's face was a little ugly, and he snorted and said, "Count yourself lucky, you just happened to meet a teapot that is often used, otherwise, I will see how you can distinguish the real from the fake!" ”

"Luck is also a kind of strength." Ye Chaoyang smiled, looked at the young man and said: "This teapot is something from the Tang Dynasty, if you are not in a hurry to use the money, sell it slowly, maybe you can meet a seller you like, and it will not be a problem to sell it for three or four hundred thousand." ”

"I'll pay 200,000, are you willing?"
