Tianyan Jianbao

Chapter 165 Bathing and Wrestling

"Hehe, how could it be? I'm here to pour tea for Brother Wang. My tea is Fujian Dahongpao. Although it doesn't grow on those six tea trees, it's also not available in the market. If Brother Gu didn't come today, In addition, I have hit it off with a few children, so I won't take out this tea."

Wu Yonghuai was refilling the water in the purple sand pot, muttering in his mouth.

The Dahongpao tea he mentioned, Wang Haoming had heard of its reputation when he soaked in Luofeng Teahouse some time ago.

"Dahongpao" grows on the high rocky cliffs of Jiulongke in Wuyi Mountain, where the sunshine is short, there is a lot of reflected light, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and there are small springs infiltrating and dripping on the top of the rock all the year round.

This special natural environment has created the unique quality of Dahongpao. There are many tea trees in Dahongpao, all of which are shrub tea bushes, with thick leaves and slight buds. There are many myths and legends.

Its mystery lies first in its rarity. There were few Dahongpao in history, but the Dahongpao recognized today are only those few trees on the rock wall of Jiulongke.In the best year, the output of tea is only a few hundred grams.

Since ancient times, rarity is the most valuable thing, and such a small thing is naturally worth a hundred times.

"Boss Wu, you have hidden things really deep. The kid is... Huh? Hehe, I want to thank you, shopkeeper Wu, for today. I also like tea tasting, but I don't have a good tea set. It’s rare that shopkeeper Wu is so generous, so I can’t thank you enough.”

Wang Haoming was already planning to admit defeat, but he didn't intend to sell the dzi bead. When he was thinking about how to evade, his eyes accidentally glanced at the purple sand cup in his hand, and his heart moved.

The scope of this pottery is very wide. Qin bricks and Han tiles are pottery, and terracotta warriors and horses can also be said to be pottery. This purple sand cup is naturally pottery, so Wang Haoming did not continue to talk about admitting defeat.

Instead, he checked the cup with spiritual energy, and sure enough, it contained a large amount of spiritual energy. Although the color was white, the amount was as large as that of the red sandalwood Maitreya Buddha root carving.

"Hahaha, after all the tricks, people will see the flaws. It's worth it. The old man's trip is really worth it. I didn't expect the famous Wu Yonghuai to stumble, haha."

At this time, the only one who laughed loudly was the old man.

Wu Yonghuai's fat face at this moment was already crowded together with worry, that pitiful look, almost made Wang Haoming ask for this purple sand pot, and almost didn't say it.

But thinking about the abhorrentness of this fat old man, Wang Haoming went out of his way to ask for it.

It can be said that Wu Yonghuai really counted all the tricks, no one thought that he could take out this old object that opened the door and use it.

According to common sense, it must be placed in a conspicuous place to attract customers.

Wang Haoming didn't understand until now. According to what Wu Yonghuai said, this purple sand pot should be worth hundreds of thousands. How could this old man be willing to use it like an ordinary utensil? If he accidentally knocked it out, wouldn't it be regrettable?

In fact, although Wang Haoming has learned some knowledge about purple clay teapots during this period of time, he is still not very clear about the collection of purple sand teapots.

One of the benefits of the purple clay teapot is that it can "wrap the aroma and dissipate the air". After a long time of use, it can absorb the tea fragrance and diffuse the oily luster. Some people say that the longer the purple sand teapot is used, the more valuable it is, and this is the truth.

When Wu Yonghuai is not in this shop, this purple sand pot is naturally maintained according to normal methods, but if he comes, he will use this pot to make a cup of tea, chat with old friends and talk about the mountains.

Today, he made an appointment with the Gu vice chairman of the Jewelry Association, so he came to the store ahead of time, waiting for the tea to be brewed, but unexpectedly, he ran into Wang Haoming and the others.

Luo Yuwei and the others at the side saw Wu Yonghuai's appearance and knew that Wang Haoming had won the bet. Although they were a bit baffled, they were all very happy.

Li Zhi snatched the purple clay cup from Wang Haoming's hand, looked at it over and over again, trying to figure out how this crap could be worth hundreds of thousands.

Seeing Wu Yonghuai's old face in pain and keeping silent, Li Zhi said: "Mr. Wu, shouldn't you regret it?"

"This is really the wave behind the Yangtze River pushing the wave ahead. Brother Gu, we are all old, and we will depend on these young people in the future. Brother Wang, don't worry. Although I, Old Man Wu, love money, I have never been inaccurate in what I say. , This purple clay pot, I will pack it up later, you take it away."

Wu Yonghuai looked a little lonely, since he was sensible, he had never suffered such a big loss. Although he had paid tuition fees in the antique shop, it was a cost of tens of thousands.

Just a few days ago, a Hong Kong businessman bid him 40 Hong Kong dollars for this set of teapots. As the market for purple clay teapots has risen in recent years, especially the excellent works of modern teapot makers, they are often higher than those made in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The price of a famous pot.

The appearance of this set of pots is perfect, and the inheritance is orderly, and there is a lot of room for appreciation. Wu Yonghuai did not agree to sell it at that time, and he did not expect that it would become someone else's in a blink of an eye.

"The old man took the liberty to ask, who is Wang Xiaoge's teacher? It's amazing to have such insight at such a young age. By the way, since you can see that my pot is an old one, can you tell me its origin? Of course, this purple clay pot is already yours, so it doesn't matter if you can't tell."

Wu Yonghuai is also a person who has gone through storms. Although this pot is worth hundreds of thousands, it is only a drop in the bucket compared to his net worth.

The reason why I felt disappointed just now is also human nature. Let me ask you, if a bet that would have been a sure win was suddenly overturned, no one would feel comfortable in it.

While talking, Wu Yonghuai handed the pot in his hand to Wang Haoming.

Wang Haoming first poured out the remaining water in the purple sand pot, then turned the pot body over, looked at the inscription on the bottom, there was a bell seal, and it was written: Zhu Kexin, three characters.

Seeing this inscription, Wang Haoming couldn't help being happy. Although his level of appreciating antiques is not very good, Wang Haoming's memory is very good.

Not long ago, I happened to see the name Zhu Kexin in a book introducing Zisha artists. Because of his special contribution to modern Zisha teapots, Wang Haoming remembered it deeply.

Zhu Kexin was born in Dingshu Town, Yixing City. His elaborate production of Yunlong Ding and Zhujie Ding participated in the Chicago Exposition in the United States and won the "Special Excellence Award".

Zhu Kexin's early work "Bamboo Ding" was even collected by Song Meiling.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it produced more fine works. His work "Yunlong Pot" shined brilliantly, and was exhibited in Sri Lanka and other countries and won the first prize. These works are now in the collection of Nanjing Museum.

"Mr. Wu, this set of purple sand teapots should be Zhu Kexin's work when he was young. The body of this "Yunlong Pot" is decorated with summer clouds, which is endlessly changing and vivid. It must be the Yunlong Pot made by Zhu Kexin. And this set of eleven pieces is well preserved, which is also commendable, I wonder if what the boy said is correct?"

Wang Haoming counted, this set of purple sand teapots including coasters, teacups, lids, etc. is a total of eleven pieces, each piece has an inscription on the bottom, what is rare is that this purple sand tea set is not damaged in the slightest.

And the patina is round and natural, even with the eyes of outsiders like Wang Haoming, you can see that it is extraordinary, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an object that opens the door.

"To be honest with the two old men, I have only recently become obsessed with collecting this business. I usually read some books of this type, but no one really led me in."

Wang Haoming's words are not bad, he really learned his knowledge of Zishahu and Zhu Kexin from books.

Wang Haoming's words made Wu Yonghuai and Gu Gu look at each other with surprised expressions on their faces.

Although it is said that in the business of antiques, it is the master who leads the door, and the practice is up to the individual, but the master who leads the door is extremely important.

Because these old objects have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, and they were created by condensing the painstaking efforts of the predecessors. Similarly, to identify the authenticity of these antiques, it also requires rich theoretical knowledge and long-term accumulation of hands-on play. experience of.

Theoretical knowledge can be learned in books, but the practical experience cannot be understood by reading a few books. This requires the guidance of a famous teacher, which can also save some detours.

Of course, there are also masters who are self-taught, but like Wang Haoming, Wu Yonghuai has played with the old man all his life with antiques, and he has never encountered it.

First of all, Wang Haoming is too young. At his age, if he does not come from a family of collectors or a wealthy family, it is difficult to come into contact with a large number of genuine antiques.

Secondly, he was able to tell the authenticity of those high-quality imitation porcelains just from the knowledge he learned from books.These two points are enough to surprise the two old guys.

"Brother Gu, we have lived this whole life. Compared with Brother Wang, this age is really like a dog. By the way, Brother Wang, do you have any intention of selling that day pearl? Old man, I really want to buy it. It doesn’t matter if it’s higher, as long as you’re willing to sell it.”

Wu Yonghuai still couldn't forget Wang Haoming's string of old dzi beads. After flattering himself and praised Wang Haoming, he proposed to buy the dzi beads.

"Mr. Wu, it's not that your bid is low. It's just that this string of dzi beads was given to me by the Living Buddha of Jokhang Temple. It has a profound meaning. I dare not give it to others without the consent of the living Buddha. , it's not very appropriate, you should always be considerate of the kid's difficulties."

Wang Haoming shook his head with a smile, stood up, looked around, and asked the shop assistant to take out a piece of silk with jade ornaments on the counter, and spread it on the table.

Then he took off the dzi bead bracelet on his wrist and put it on the silk cloth for the two of them to watch.

Dzi beads are a kind of gemstone with extremely strong magnetism. Generally, the magnetic field in dzi beads is three times higher than that of crystals. Like Wang Haoming's string of old dzi beads, the magnetic field is at least as strong as that of crystals. five times.

Moreover, after the dzi bead comes into contact with the human body, it will automatically adjust and release the magnetism according to the strength of the magnetic field in the wearer's body. This is also the principle that dzi beads are beneficial to the body.

The magnetic field in each person's body is different, so dzi bead ornaments are generally not allowed to be touched by people other than the owner, because that will easily cause the dzi bead's magnetic field to become disordered.

Wu Yonghuai and the old man naturally understood this truth. Holding a magnifying glass in their hands, they almost put their entire faces together, but they did not let their skin touch the dzi. After five or six minutes, the two sat back .

"Brother Wang, take this dzi bead back. It is an eye-opener to see the accessories blessed by the Living Buddha, but if you still meet this old dzi bead in the future, brother Wang, you will sell it to my former old man." ah."

After finally pulling his gaze out of the dzi bead, Wu Yonghuai said the above words to Wang Haoming very solemnly.

Wearing dzi beads can bring prosperity and good fortune to one's fortune, and Wang Hao can't tell when he will meet this good thing next year, so if he says this in advance, it may bring him a pleasant surprise in the future.

"You're an antique guy. What do you want Tianzhu for? My old man needs it. But Brother Wang, if your Tianzhu is brought to tomorrow's jade fair, it must be able to shine. How about it? Do you want to think about it? Old man, I can arrange a special booth for you."

The old man did not intend to keep this dzi bead in his pocket, but he suggested that Wang Haoming take this old dzi bead for exhibition.

Wang Haoming thought about it for a while, but still shook his head and refused, since he didn't intend to sell his belongings, so there was no need to spread the word about them.

As soon as several people talked, under Wu Yonghuai's instruction, the staff in the store had cleaned and wiped the set of Zhu Kexin's Yunlong pot, and found a delicate box with sea cushions inside, and packed it up.
