Whether something is good or not, appearance is really important.
Although it is wrong to judge people by their appearance, judging things by their appearance is sometimes somewhat accurate. For example, the things the stall owners are bringing out now, even if they are broken pieces of porcelain, are in really good condition.
At this time, the stall owner deliberately raised the porcelain piece high. Under the reflection of the sun, the bright brilliance became more and more conspicuous. People knew that the porcelain piece was of superior quality and not ordinary.
"It looks it seems really good."
Yu Feibai squinted slightly, then stretched out his hand and said: "Boss, take it and take a look."
"This is what I put at the bottom of the box. I can't go wrong." The stall owner smiled and carefully placed the porcelain piece on Yu Feibai's palm, and even kindly reminded him not to scratch himself.
Yu Feibai was definitely not that stupid. He directly picked up the porcelain piece with his other hand and observed it carefully. After looking at it for a moment, there was a bit of surprise on his face.
At first glance, Yu Feibai can also confirm that the quality of the porcelain tiles is really good. The texture is as thin as an eggshell but dense and delicate, and even has a color like mutton-fat white jade, which shows the superb production technology. In addition, the glaze color is somewhat light on the surface, just like the color of egg green. It is very elegant and clear, and is in line with the aesthetic taste of the world.
However, for some unknown reason, Yu Feibai felt that there was something wrong with this piece of broken porcelain. As for what was wrong, he couldn't tell for a while.
After studying for a while, Yu Feibai still couldn¡¯t figure it out. He simply handed the thing to Wang Guan and said, "You should also take a look. It feels a bit like the Longquan porcelain of the Song Dynasty, with pink and green glaze"
¡°My brother has really good eyesight.¡±
Before Wang Guan looked at it, the stall owner next to him immediately hit the snake on the stick and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it is Longquan porcelain, the Longquan porcelain from the first folk kiln in ancient times."
The title of the first private kiln may be a bit exaggerated. But it is enough to illustrate the influence of Longquan porcelain. And this influence is among the people. After all, ordinary people definitely have no chance to use the ancient official kiln porcelain. Although there are many private kiln entrance workshops, there are only a few that are of high quality.
Longquan Kiln is naturally one of them, and because it is close to the coast, it is also uniquely endowed. After all, kiln factories in the hinterland of the Central Plains are very competitive and are often prone to collapse due to natural disasters. However, Longquan kiln has the support of overseas markets, so the kiln fire has never been extinguished, and it can naturally be passed down smoothly.
After thousands of years of development. The influence of Longquan kiln porcelain can be said to have spread both at home and abroad. Longquan kiln can be found all over the world. Even if the overall strength is not number one in the world, it is definitely among the best.
"Longquan celadon?"
At this time, Wang Guan also looked at the porcelain pieces in his hands. In fact, when he got started, he was a little surprised. The main reason was that the weight of the porcelain pieces was so light that it had almost no weight.
?The weight is light and the texture is fine and dense. It shows that this is a semi-bodied process. But in Wang Guan's impression, although the body of Longquan celadon is not very heavy, it is not so thin.
With such doubts, Wang Guan continued to watch. Pay special attention to the glaze color. The light celadon glaze is like clear lake water, with a faint emerald color, very elegant and pure.
at this time. Wang Guan also imitated the stall owner and raised the porcelain pieces slightly to look at them in the light. All of a sudden. The thin porcelain pieces seem to be translucent, and the glaze of the porcelain pieces emits layers of soft halo, much like jade.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Wang Guan's expression changed slightly, and then he asked eagerly: "Boss, where did you get this piece of porcelain?"
"Longquan."
The stall owner blinked: "This is Longquan celadon. Naturally, it was picked up in the Longquan area. It is genuine."
"That's not right."
Yu Feibai raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you just say you got it back in the porcelain capital?"
"These things on the stall were indeed brought back from the porcelain capital, but of course the Longquan porcelain pieces at the bottom of the box were picked up from Longquan separately." The stall owner did not blink, and he looked sincere and honest.
In this regard, Yu Feibai nodded slightly, which was regarded as acknowledgment of this explanation. After all, he didn't want to buy it, so naturally he wouldn't care much about where the thing came from.
However, Wang Guan scoffed at the stall owner's explanation: "Boss, stop joking. This is Longquan celadon, it's clearly"
What is it? Wang Guan did not say anything further. After a pause, he continued to ask: "You just said that this is something from the Song Dynasty?"
"Yes, Longquan celadon from the Song Dynasty." The stall owner insisted, regardless of whether it was, First of all, you cannot be shaken. If even he hesitated, it would prove that he had lied, and the thing was not Longquan porcelain at all.
"Song Dynasty?"
For a moment, Wang Guan shook his head and said, "Why didn't you say it was from Shang and Zhou Dynasties?"
¡°Brother, you really think I don¡¯t understand history.¡±
At this time, the stall owner was a little dissatisfied and said: "The Shang and Zhou dynasties, that was the Bronze Age, where did the porcelain come from?"
"I didn't say Shang and Zhou, I meant last week" Wang Guan smiled faintly and said: "Last week, it probably didn't last more than ten days."
"What?"
For a moment, Yu Feibai was stunned, his eyes became a little more suspicious, and then he keenly noticed that the stall owner's expression changed, and his eyes flickered, revealing a guilty conscience.
"Is it really something new?"
In contrast, Yu Feibai must have believed in Wang Guan more, and said softly: "But, why is there no thief?"
"The thief has been transformed into someone else."
Wang Guan whispered: "If you turn your back on the porcelain piece and look at it, you will know what's going on."
"Um?"
Yu Feibai was a little surprised, but he still picked up the porcelain piece and looked at it according to Wang Guan's instructions. At first, he didn't see any clues, but after careful observation, he suddenly discovered something.
"ah!"
For a moment, Yu Feibai expressed a mixture of surprise and surprise. Suddenly, he had the feeling that he could not find anything after running through iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. At this moment, he finally understood why Wang Guan wanted to expose the stall owner.
You should know that for experts, there is generally an unspoken rule that must be followed. If there is no need, even if you know something is wrong, you will never take the initiative to expose it. Keep a line as a human being so that we can meet again in the future.
It¡¯s easy to make people angry by criticizing someone. Just like now, after the stall owner reacted, he immediately glared and said: "If you don¡¯t want to buy it, you can take it back."
¡°In fact, as soon as the truth came out, the stall owner felt a little regretful. After all, when doing business, it is important to be harmonious and make money. If business is not done with benevolence and righteousness, if this piece of porcelain is not good, there will be other porcelain pieces. With such an aggressive tone, the business that could have been saved will definitely be ruined.
"Buy, of course."
However, to the surprise of the stall owner, Wang Guan took out a wad of banknotes and said with a smile: "Boss, I will buy your stuff, but you have to tell me the origin of it."
"Origin, what origin?"
The stall owner rolled his eyes slightly and said insincerely: "Didn't I just say that this is Longquan celadon?"
"Boss, you are not honest enough."
At the right time, Wang Guan shook his head gently and said: "To tell you the truth, my family is actually a kiln factory, and I also have a lot of research on porcelain. I came to Kaifeng this time just to find a master of porcelain firing with superb skills to come back and take charge."
"You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me. This piece of porcelain is very exquisite in craftsmanship and must have been made by a master. However, because the porcelain was not heated evenly during the firing process, it naturally cracked."
While speaking, Wang Guan said with certainty: "This is waste porcelain. It was buried and then you picked it up"
¡°Perhaps Wang Guan got it right, and the stall owner¡¯s expression changed accordingly.
Seeing this, Wang Guan smiled and put a wad of banknotes directly into the hands of the stall owner: "We are outsiders. We can only stay for a few days before leaving, and we are just asking for some news. Isn't that embarrassing?"
"Well¡¡"
The stall owner had a hesitant look on his face, but he couldn't help but close his palms, feeling the thickness of the banknotes. He swallowed unconsciously in his throat, and then whispered an address.
"Thanks!"
Feeling like the stall owner was lying, Wang Guan immediately stood up and called Yu Feibai away.
Of course, the two of them also took away the broken piece of porcelain. After walking a few steps, he stopped a car and drove away towards the countryside.
On the way, Yu Feibai finally calmed down, but his face was full of joyful smile: "I knew that I came to Kaifeng at the right time, and I didn't wander around Daxiangguo Temple in vain. No, I suddenly got a clue."
"It's just a clue."
Wang Guan was relatively calm and said with a smile: "The stall owner said that he just picked up the porcelain pieces in that place. As for who buried the porcelain pieces there, I don't know at all."
"It's better to have clues, which is the direction of the investigation, than just trying your luck." Yu Feibai was very confident: "Besides, the fact that the broken porcelain pieces are buried there means that the person must be nearby."
"Um."
Wang Guan nodded in agreement, otherwise, there would be no need to take a ride over to check the situation.
Of course, for the sake of caution, Wang Guan still called Mr. Qian to report the situation. While he was on the phone, Yu Feibai continued to play with the porcelain piece. When the light shined on it, as long as he paid careful attention, he could see a circled Zhuan character on the concave surface of the porcelain piece.
This is Mr. Zhu Da¡¯s unique logo, and it is not secret. It is written with transparent glaze. If you didn't observe carefully, you would definitely not be able to find such clues. That's why the two of them were so excited when they saw the sign, and realized that Meng Gao was not lying, and there were indeed clues to be found in Kaifeng.
"be safe¡¡"
At this time, after listening to Wang Guan's report, Mr. Qian was naturally very happy, and at the same time warned: "Don't act rashly, lest you scare the snake again and let people run away."
"Don't worry, Mr. Qian."
Wang Guan quickly responded: "We will act carefully."
After chatting for a while, Wang Guan also ended the communication, and before he knew it, the car stopped in a fairly lively town.
However, the town is not the final destination, but a stopping point (To be continued)
