    Although Meng Zitao believed that this was a very rare masterpiece, considering Xiao Likai's high level of imitation, he still did not dare to take it lightly. After carefully looking at it, he used the superpower again, and the result was indeed  It is an authentic piece of work.

    Meng Zitao put the Arhat statue back and said with a smile: "Teacher Xiao, I wonder what your plans are for this Arhat statue?"

    Xiao Likai touched his forehead and said with some reluctance: "Didn't I tell you before that I wanted to transfer the artifacts I left to you? However, when I came back and saw these things, I felt a little reluctant to part with them. Silai  I want to go, but I feel that these things are my years of hard work and I really can¡¯t bear to transfer them, so I thought I¡¯d give you this Arhat statue.¡±

    Having said this, Xiao Likai said apologetically: "Shopkeeper Meng, I'm really sorry. I hope you don't mind."

    To be honest, for other people who have other ideas, it is definitely not in their interests for Xiao Likai to go back on his words like this, and they will feel uncomfortable. Although this Arhat statue is good, how much money can it make?  And how much money can those high imitations make that are so fake that they can be mistaken for real ones?

    Of course, for Meng Zitao, he had no intention of selling the high imitation as a genuine product, nor did he want to make such unscrupulous money, so Xiao Likai took out this exquisite Arhat statue, which was in line with his wishes.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. In fact, I like this Arhat statue better. Of course, it would be better if I could buy some high imitations made by you."

    Xiao Likai thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth secretly, and said: "No problem, when it comes to my place, I will definitely pick two more of my previous works for you."

    Meng Zitao smiled and cupped his hands: "Thank you very much. By the way, how much does this Arhat statue cost?"

    Xiao Likai said: "Let's consider it three million. If you think it's too expensive, we can discuss it again."

    Meng Zitao found it a bit funny. Xiao Likai looked like this. He knew at a glance that he was not good at doing business. How could he say that we could discuss it again before he said anything? That is to say, he thought Xiao Likai had the possibility of cooperation. If it were someone else,  , will definitely "climb up along the pole."

    In this case, and the market value of this Arhat statue is nearly four million, Meng Zitao did not bargain and said: "Okay, you give me your bank account number, and I will have someone transfer it to you right away, or you can ask for a check."  No problem."

    "No need for a check, just transfer money directly." Xiao Likai was startled at first, and he was pleasantly surprised and relieved at the same time. He was really worried that Meng Zitao would lower the price, but he didn't expect that Meng Zitao agreed immediately. It was really an unexpected surprise.

    So, Xiao Likai immediately pulled over, took out a bank card from his wallet, and handed it to Meng Zitao while thanking him.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said you're welcome, then made a phone call and asked someone to help transfer the money to Xiao Likai's account.

    For Xiao Likai, with three million in his account, money matters are basically no longer a problem. He feels much more relaxed and becomes more talkative.

    After arriving at the hotel, after Meng Zitao and Da Jun packed their luggage, Xiao Likai took them to dinner.

    After everyone cooked for a while, Xiao Likai received a transfer text message from the bank. He was excited and seemed a little restless at the same time.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Teacher Xiao, what's the matter with you?"

    "Thishehe, I want to go and settle my son-in-law's affairs." Xiao Likai said.

    Meng Zitao said: "Then I won't delay you. Do you want my help?"

    "No need to trouble you, I've already contacted someone."

    "Then go quickly."

    Xiao Likai nodded and said apologetically: "Shopkeeper Meng, I'm so sorry. I originally planned to take you to my place in the afternoon, but now it seems I can only wait until tomorrow."

    "It doesn't matter, I just have to deal with some things."

    Meng Zitao did have some things to deal with when he came to Cidu. After he said goodbye to Xiao Likai, he went to buy some gifts and took a taxi with Da Jun to a villa community.

    Meng Zitao called the senior who was going to visit to talk to him, and he asked the community security to let them go.

    According to the guidance of the security guard, the two came to a villa and saw a gray-haired but energetic old man waiting for them at the door.

    Meng Zitao said politely: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, I am Meng Zitao. Please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting."

    "You're welcome." Mr. Zhang waved his hand. He looked at Meng Zitao and said with a smile: "Hearing is worse than seeing. He is really talented. Besides, I'm sorry."No, I won't be happy if you do this again.  "

    Meng Zitao insisted: "You must also know how much the value of my porcelain will increase after repairing it. If you don't accept it, then I will be really embarrassed. Uncle Wang will definitely blame me later!"

    "If he asks, just tell him the truth."

    "I feel very sorry."

    "Why are you so stubborn? Okay, let's do this. If you encounter curium porcelain with better craftsmanship in the future, you can bring it over yourself or ask someone to bring it to you. Is that okay?"

    The curium porcelain mentioned in Zhang Hui's words is porcelain repaired with curium nails. Meng Zitao saw that there were also porcelain repaired with curium nails on the table, and was a little curious about Zhang Hui's request: "Mr. Zhang, the craftsmanship you mentioned  What do you mean by better curium porcelain?"

    Zhang Hui said: "Did you know that in the past there was a special craft of decorating with nails?"

    When Meng Zitao heard this, he immediately understood that in the past, curium porcelain was not only used to repair porcelain, but curium porcelain itself became a kind of decoration.  During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, some people began to specially fill the purple clay teapots in good condition with beans, then poured water into them to crack them, and asked a craftsman to cut them into pieces. Sometimes they even had to cut them into specific patterns to play with and show off.

    Zhou Bogao in the late Ming Dynasty was such a person. He said in "Passing Wu Dimei Zhu'e Hall to Watch the Song of Pots": "The famous pots such as Gongchun and Dabin are very expensive and difficult to distinguish. I can't tell the truth, but search for the incomplete ones.  A good person spends his time enjoying himself."

    It can be seen from this sentence that people who play with broken pots have existed since ancient times.  When you grow a new purple clay teapot until the curium and the teapot are integrated into one, and when you see that the curium on the pot becomes part of the pot itself, the curium nails at that time add a bit of simplicity to the purple clay teapot.  , it has a different charm.

    It¡¯s just that curium porcelain was very popular in ancient times, but now it is about to become a lost craft, so it is not easy to find this kind of curium porcelain. Moreover, with Zhang Hui¡¯s level, he must be looking for high-quality products.

    Meng Zitao nodded and said, "Okay, as long as I find it, I will bring it to you."

    Zhang Hui smiled and said: "You don't have to be so deliberate. Just find it if you can find it. Forget it if you can't find it."

    Meng Zitao chuckled. Although Zhang Hui said so, he would not be so casual and would always try his best to find it.

    Next, the two of them chatted about the topic of repair. As time went by, Zhang Hui became more and more surprised. He did not expect that Meng Zitao actually had experience in repair, and his level was not low. Although this  It made him a little strange, but it also made him very happy, so he started a long conversation with Meng Zitao.

    Because Zhang Hui was so enthusiastic, Meng Zitao almost stayed at Zhang Hui's house if it hadn't been clear the next day that he had something to do.

    It was another Monday, and Meng Zitao got up at around four o'clock. He didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so he went straight to the China World Plaza in the porcelain capital with the army.

    They passed through a street storefront, and a street stall market suddenly appeared in front of them.  Although it is still early, the market is already crowded with people.

    Meng Zitao saw that the market had about two lanes, forming an inverted "L" shape.  One road is full of ancient porcelain stalls, and the other road is a mixed stall.  The vendors scattered their goods on the ground and connected them one by one. The scene was very spectacular.

    There are about 400 stalls here. On the snakeskin cloth spread along the road, there are piles of ancient porcelain pieces, books, calligraphy and paintings, bronzes and wood carvings. People are holding flashlights, in small groups, or squatting for a while.  Playing with objects carefully, bargaining with red ears, or standing and watching the fun.

    This is the "ghost market" in the porcelain capital, and unlike other places, it only exists on Mondays.

    When did the ¡°ghost market¡± in Porcelain Capital come into being?  According to Meng Zitao's understanding, in the 1980s, the earliest antique morning market appeared in front of the Cidu Hotel, which was the predecessor of the "ghost market".  In the early 1990s, this "ghost market" was moved to the People's Square area and gradually grew in size.

    The vendors here mainly purchase their goods from nearby villages, while the fakes come from several large-scale antique porcelain production bases in the porcelain capital. Fragments of ancient porcelain are scattered at construction sites and unprotected folk kiln sites in urban and rural areas across the city.  Dig or pick up somewhere else.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
