    Seeing Song Jun's anxious look, Chu Chen chuckled and put the box containing azure clay on the table.  Song Jun quickly took the box into his hands and opened it, with an extremely excited look on his face.  Song Jun nodded ecstatically and said: "Yes! It's Tianqingni! After looking for it for so many years, I finally saw it again!" After hearing this, Zhu Dafu asked curiously: "Xiao Song, have you seen the sky before?  Green clay?" Song Jun raised his head and said with a smile: "Not only have I seen it, but I also have some blue clay in my house." Everyone was a little surprised after hearing this.  Zhu Dafu asked curiously: "Since you have it at home, why are you still looking for azure clay?" Song Jun said with a smile: "I think everyone knows how difficult it is to make azure clay. The azure clay in my family's collection  Mud can only make a small pot. Even if I am sure, I don¡¯t dare to try it.¡± At this point, Song Jun bowed his hand to Chu Chen and said, ¡°Director Chu, can I trouble you with something?¡±  "Please tell me." Chu Chen nodded and said with a smile: "But if you ask me to sell Tianqing Clay, I won't be able to part with it." "I do have this plan, but since you are not willing, let's find another way." Song Junwen  Yan was a little disappointed, and then said: "That's right, I estimate that you can make three to four small pots with green clay these days. Can you let me make one too? If you fail, I will use the green clay in my collection."  As compensation, what do you think? " Such a request would bring no loss to Chu Chen. Of course he would not disagree. He chuckled and said, "Master Song, in this case, wouldn't I be taking advantage of it?"  Song Jun waved his hand.  He smiled and said: "That's not the case. For me, my biggest wish in this life is to successfully produce a real azure clay work. But I have always suffered from not having such an opportunity. If you agree, you can say that you have helped.  I'm very busy. If you feel embarrassed, just give me a try after you succeed." Chu Chen laughed and said, "That's for sure." After saying that, Chu Chen took out the other box and put it away.  He came to Song Jun and said, "Master Song, could you please take a look at these dark green mud?" Song Jun was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Chu Chen also got some dark green mud, and quickly took a closer look.  He smiled and said: "Yes, they are all the best dark green clay, and now they are all the treasures at the bottom of the box." Zhu Dafu asked: "Xiao Song, how much can these dark green clay be used for?" Song Jun thought for a while  , replied: "It depends on how big your pot is, and the mix of clay materials is also very particular, so I'm not sure, but in any case, if you make the kind of small pot I just mentioned, it will definitely be better than  There will be more Tianqingni." Zhu Dafu smiled and said, "In that case, we will have to trouble you this time." Song Jun waved his hand with a smile, "That's no problem, but if it's too much, it will take time.  It must have some impact." Zhao Xueyi said: "It doesn't matter. We are not in a hurry. We can do it whenever it is convenient for you." Everyone nodded in agreement.  Next, everyone discussed the style of the pot. In this regard, because there were ready-made pot shapes to choose from, everyone decided quickly. As for the details, that was Song Jun's problem.  After discussing the shape of the pot, Chu Chen asked, "Master Song, are you familiar with the Dajin Mountain in the Tao Capital?" "Dajin Mountain?" Song Jun looked a little surprised.  Asked: "Director Chu, don't you want to do the building materials business?" Chu Chen was stunned when he heard this.  Surprised: "How do you say this?" Song Jun replied: "There are factories for quarrying or building materials. I remember that there is a place like Dajin Mountain in many places. Could it be that you are mistaken?  " After hearing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, because he thought that Song Jun was coming over today. He didn't check the information online. He didn't expect to get such a result.  Chu Chen quickly asked: "Master Song, do you know how long the quarry there has been open?" Song Jun didn't know why Chu Chen asked this, but he didn't ask more questions and answered truthfully: "There are specific details?  I don¡¯t know how long it took, but I remember it should have been a lot of time.¡± After listening to Song Jun¡¯s reply, Chu Chen was basically certain that the possibility of that being the place mentioned in the poem was very small.  Well, even if the location hinted in the poem is there, after so many years of mining rocks, the real treasure has been dug up by others, right?  However, that¡¯s how people are. Sometimes, if you don¡¯t see it with your own eyes, you won¡¯t be able to let it go. Chu Chen also has the same mentality now. He decided to wait for those strange things.After everything was solved, let's take a look at what it meant. If it wasn't clearly stated, he would still go to Dajin Mountain in Taodu to have a look, otherwise he wouldn't give up.  "Maybe I made a mistake." Chu Chen laughed and changed the topic.  Ever since he answered Zhu Dafu's call until now, Song Jun has been in a state of spinning. Next, while chatting, he couldn't restrain his sleepiness, and in the end he yawned, which made him very embarrassed.  .  Everyone understood this very well and advised Song Jun to go back and rest, and he agreed. Then Chu Chen drove him back to the hotel.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Because there were many things to do, the next day, after signing the agreement with Chu Chen, Song Jun went back to the pottery capital with the clay. Because there were too many uncertain factors, he did not know the time when the pot was made.  Nothing was said.  Chu Chen guessed that it might take Song Jun a few years to make the azure clay pot.  Some people may find it incredible, how could it take several years to make a purple clay teapot?  This is the difference between fully handmade purple clay pots and porcelain. Generally speaking, the true meaning of "fully handmade pots" must be the use of "traditional fully handmade molding techniques", that is, the wooden turntable beating and inlay molding techniques inherited from the Ming Dynasty.  Traditional bamboo wood, horn, copper, iron and other tools are used in the production process.  It is best to use cocobolo and jujube wood as the material for beating mud pieces and mud strips, and the wooden turntable is generally made of beech and cocobolo.  To make a pot, you need to use a "rectangular cart" to draw circular pieces of clay, and an "elephant cart" to draw straight strips of clay. The shapes of these two tools have been inherited from the Ming Dynasty to this day.  Another major feature of "traditional all-hand molding techniques" is that it can be crafted carefully and there is no need to rush to complete it in one go.  The coarse-glazed cylinder used to store mud blanks is one of the important tools. There is water at the bottom of the cylinder.  The middle is divided by a mud layer with water injection holes. The finished and semi-finished mud blanks are placed on the mud layer and then closed with a wooden cover.  The humidity of the mud can be controlled at any time by adjusting the height of the water surface, without worrying about deformation or damage.     Therefore.  For some masters, a work requires several years of meticulous craftsmanship to complete. It has high artistic value and is naturally expensive.  But again, the time cost cannot be low. Therefore, although stores in the general market advertise that they sell all handmade purple clay pots, the prices of many of those so-called all handmade pots are questionable.  Another half month has passed in the blink of an eye.  Early that morning, Chu Chen went to visit Liu's hometown.  After chatting with the parents for a while, Mr. Liu said: "Achen, it will take some time to accurately translate that poem with strange characters." Chu Chen waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry about this." Mr. Liu  Hehe smiled: "There is one more thing I want to tell you. I looked through the relevant information and found that the original judgment of Dajin Mountain is probably wrong." Chu Chen nodded and said: "Yes, I also checked some information and found that  There are several places called Jinshan over there in Taodu, such as Jinshanwu. Maybe the poem is talking about one of them. " "We can't guess the right place now, so we'd better wait.  Let¡¯s wait until the whole poem is translated.¡± Mr. Liu waved his hand.  Then he said: "Achen, there is something urgent now. I need you to go to other provinces." "Where to go?" Chu Chen asked.  "Jiangcheng." "No problem, you have agreed on something." "That's what happened." Mr. Liu explained the matter.  It turns out that after learning about Cai Jianxuan¡¯s appearance after plastic surgery that day, the investigators began to investigate. Because several days had passed, and Cai Jianxuan was more cunning, the clues were almost lost during this period.  But even so, we only know that Cai Jianxuan should not have gone abroad yet.  There is only a general range of where it is.  Of course, as the old saying goes.  The most feared word in this world is the word "serious". Yesterday, investigators finally received a very important clue, saying that someone bought a piece of Jun porcelain from someone suspected of being Cai Jianxuan the day before yesterday.  And based on the clues, the man was caught.  It¡¯s just that the man didn¡¯t admit that his stuff was fake, and he didn¡¯t admit that he knew Cai Jianxuan, so he couldn¡¯t open his mouth for a while.  In this case, the most convenient way is to identify the authenticity of the porcelain. However, many experts, including Qiao Qingtai, were unable to determine the authenticity of the item, so they thought of asking Chu Chen to help identify the authenticity.  Hearing this, Chu Chen asked: "What are the characteristics of the patina?" Liu Lao shook his head: "Lao Qiao said that the patina is not too old, but it looks quite natural. There is no trace of the patina, but  He always feels that something is wrong, and it is difficult to judge. You will know the details when you go there. " Chu Chen said, "Okay, then I will arrange things and leave. "nbsp; Mr. Liu nodded and said: "Achen, help me say sorry to Xiaoke when you get back!" Chu Chen quickly smiled and said: "Master, what are you talking about? Besides, there are mom and Xiaolan.  I can't help you at home. "Speaking of which, Qiao Qingtai has always wanted to invite Chu Chen to his place as a guest, but Chu Chen has never had time to go to Jiangcheng, so he took the opportunity to go there this time.  Next, Chu Chen returned to the courtyard to pack his luggage and told his family about the matter. However, everyone was a little worried because they all remembered the gift-giving and stalking incidents before, and were afraid that Cai Jianxuan would jump over the wall and do something crazy.  Chu Chen quickly reassured everyone that they don¡¯t have to worry, because the investigators have already taken countermeasures to their concerns. It can be said that Jiangcheng is already a dragnet at this time. As long as Cai Jianxuan¡¯s people do anything, they will be discovered in a short time.  " If this were not the case, Mr. Liu would not let Chu Chen go to Jiangcheng with confidence. After all, Chu Chen is his most proud disciple, so there is no reason to push Chu Chen into the fire pit.  After hearing Chu Chen¡¯s explanation and comfort, everyone felt a little relieved, but even so, they still asked Chu Chen to bring Hu Yong and Zuo Shan with him. With their protection, they felt at ease.  At one o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Chen and the other three stepped onto the land of Jiangcheng. As soon as they walked out of the passage, they saw the pick-up personnel sent by Qiao Qingtai, holding a sign to signal to the exit.  So, the three of them stepped forward to greet him.  After the two parties made introductions, the pick-up staff took the three people to the parking lot, asked them to get into a commercial vehicle, and then the car drove to Qiao Qingtai's home.  Qiao Qingtai lives in a lakeside villa. The surrounding mountains and water resources are closely connected, and the lakes and mountains complement each other. It must be said that this is a good place to cultivate body and mind.  Chu Chen got off the car at the door of the villa and saw Qiao Qingtai standing at the door to greet his arrival. After the two sides exchanged greetings, Qiao Qingtai invited Chu Chen into the house and asked them to go to their respective rooms to pack their luggage.  , then invited everyone to the living room.  When the servant aunt served Chu Chen tea, Qiao Qingtai smiled and said: "I have always wanted to invite you over, and today I finally got my wish." Chu Chen looked around the antique living room and said with a smile: "Mr. Qiao, you should have said this earlier  You live in such a good place, otherwise I would have come to disturb you. " "Here, just try your best to kill me." Qiao Qingtai nodded to Chu Chen and said, "It's not like I haven't been to your house before.  , No matter the Yuhua Courtyard or the Siheyuan, neither place is much bigger than my place, right?" Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "You can't say that, if nothing else, how can I be like you?  Is there such a beautiful lake next to it?" Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "Okay, don't compliment me. After we solve this matter, I will take you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jiangcheng." "Okay.  !" Chu Chen agreed immediately, and then asked: "Mr. Qiao, where is the thing now?" Qiao Qingtai replied: "I'll let Mr. Qin take a look." Chu Chen asked again, "Qiao.  "Old man, who do you think this is?" Qiao Qingtai said, "His name is Qin Jin. Like you, he specializes in porcelain, but his character is not that good, so just ignore him." "Oh.  "Chu Chen nodded.  "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, Qin Jinhe, two porcelain experts, and three investigators arrived at the door of Qiao Qingtai's house.  The servant brought a group of six people to the living room, and Qiao Qingtai introduced both parties. Qin Jin was an old man with semi-long hair and an artistic temperament.  Qin Jin looked around and said with a smile: "Old man Qiao, you really know how to enjoy yourself. You actually live in such a nice place." Qiao Qingtai sneered: "It sounds like the place you live in is worse than mine.  "I bought it with my own money, what about you?" Qin Jin said with disdain.  (To be continued)
