treasure hunt god pupil

Chapter 234

The inkstone passed down by Ji Xiaolan has been confirmed to be authentic, and now only the inscription by Cao Xueqin needs to be re-authenticated and confirmed.Fortunately, Professor Wu is proficient in history and can recall many key details.

At noon, I had a hot pot meal at Professor Zhu's house. You can eat mutton with your stomach free. Hot pot is the only enjoyment in the world in a snowy day.

In the afternoon, Li Mo chatted with the four professors for a while, then left and went home.When he walked to the gate of the community, he felt someone watching him again.He stood on the spot and jumped, shaking off the white snow on his body.Taking the opportunity to look around, he found a white car parked across the road, and his eyes seemed to be piercing through that car.

Walking into the community calmly, he edited and sent a text message, the content of which was a license plate number.

The next day, Sunday, after eight o'clock in the morning, the snow had stopped.The cleaning uncles and aunts in the community have already cleared the snow on the main passage, and there are several cars on the road outside to clear the snow.

Li Mo's destination today is Liulichang. Because of the weather, Liulichang is also deserted. Except for a few workers who cleared the snow on the road, many shops are not open yet.

He was not in a hurry, he went in one by one to visit the shops that opened, the long ones took more than ten minutes, and the short ones came out in two or three minutes.

I went to eight shops in a row and didn't come across a single eye-catching thing. The best one is the inkstone from the late Qing Dynasty. It's a pity that it is very worn out and has no collection value.

At around 10:30, Li Mo received a text message, which read: There are two people suspected of following you, and both of them have been anti-monitored.

Replied: Don't startle the snake, collect all the information related to them.

Holding a cup of milk tea, Li Mo walked into a shop again. This shop made tea and various styles of tea sets. The decoration was light and luxurious, giving people a very high-end impression.

There are three young women standing at the counter in the store, and there are seven customers who buy tea. The business looks good.On the other side of the tea set area, an old man in his 60s was negotiating with the men in the shop, and his voice was quite loud.

"Boss, my purple clay teapot has been passed down from my grandparents. I usually use it at home and take good care of it. You can see that the entire appearance is not damaged at all. Then look at the thick layer of tea stains on the inner wall of the teapot. Smell it. There is still a faint tea fragrance, at least it has existed for more than a hundred years."

"Look at the unique shape of this purple clay teapot. You only bid five thousand, which is much lower than the price in my heart."

The man is at most 40 years old, bald and slightly fat. He turned around and pointed to several types of purple sand teapots displayed on the Bogu shelf and said, "Look, there are quite a few more exquisite and distinctive ones on the Bogu shelf than the one in your hand. Yours The purple sand pot is also because it has been a long time, so I only asked for [-]. If it is in our shop, it is estimated that the price can be [-]. If you don’t want to sell, please go to other places to inquire I believe my asking price must be the highest."

A tangled look appeared on the old man's face, and after a while he sighed and said, "Okay, five thousand is five thousand, I want cash."

As the boss said, he had already inquired about the price in other shops, and five thousand was indeed the highest price offered.

"No problem, I have a sales contract here, I will give you five thousand cash immediately after you sign it."

Li Mo heard the reputation, the old man and the shop owner were already going through the formalities, and the purple clay pot on the counter was blocked by his body.He didn't take it seriously either, and began to look around the shop.

"Hi sir, what kind of tea do you want to buy?" A female shop assistant greeted Li Mo with a smile.

To be honest, the price of famous tea is not much higher than that of Mo. If the quality is really good, it doesn't matter if you buy some for yourself.

"I'll take a look first, and I'll tell you when I choose."

Li Mo took the price list and started walking towards the tea set. The old man was counting cash.

"Boss, exactly five thousand."

"Pleasant to work with."

The old man put the cash in his arms and left the shop with a smile on his face. Only then did Li Mo see the true face of the purple clay pot that had survived for more than a hundred years.

The body of the pot resembles the knotted branches of a peach tree, old and strong, and the spout and handle are matched with twigs, which is natural.There are peach blossoms and slender peach leaves in full bloom on both sides of the pot, which is so lifelike that it can almost be faked.Coupled with dark purple sand, the tone is simple and elegant, and it has the artistic conception of returning to nature.

Li Mo once found a pair of tea sets from the collection of Grand Master Gu Jingzhou. Compared with the purple sand pot in front of him, the former is simple and the latter is simple and unsophisticated.

If it really has a history of more than a hundred years, then the price of this purple clay pot is definitely more than 5000 yuan, at least [-] yuan.

Looking at the different pupils, the line of sight penetrates the purple sand pot, and a blue light suddenly shines out from the body of the pot, and then blue light circles spread out.

Fuck, this is more than a hundred years, at least it has a history of about 500 years.The originator of the purple clay pot came from the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. He vaguely felt that he had seen an introduction to the shape of a purple clay pot in some book.

In the first year, this purple clay pot was not simple.

"Sir, would you like to see the tea set?"

The boss was about to store the purple clay teapot he had just received, when he saw Li Mo walking towards him, he hurriedly asked with a smile.

"Well, it's the end of the year, and I'm going to buy some good tea and go back with a few sets of tea sets. Boss, do you have any high-end tea sets here? Don't recommend ordinary ones. The elders in the family have high vision, and ordinary ones can't enter his Fayan."

Business people like customers like this, as long as they are good and straightforward.

"Sir, the best tea set here costs [-] yuan. It is made of top-quality Burmese teak wood and is handmade by famous teachers. Would you like to see it?"

Li Mo nodded without hesitation and said, "Take out one set for the best one, and two sets for the slightly cheaper one. I will choose which one is more suitable first."

"Okay, sir, wait a moment."

Soon the three sets of tea sets were placed on the counter one by one. Li Mo just glanced at them and despised the boss. He also said that the famous masters made them by hand, so he knew they were carved by machines.But he didn't bother to care about it. The other two sets were also made of teak wood, but the specifications were slightly smaller.

"What's the price of these two sets?"

"The middle set is [-], and the rest is [-]."

"Boss, I need seven sets. You can give me a real price for the sixty thousand tea sets. First of all, I am not buying tea sets for the first time. If you want to do my business sincerely, don't be sloppy with me. As for you It's purely handmade, you can just fool those who don't know how to do it. Give me a real price, and I'll pick some top famous tea from you."

"Yes, sir is also a straightforward person. If others buy this tea set, the price will not be lower than [-]. If you order seven sets at once, I will give you a real price. How about [-] for each tea set?"

"Almost, give me a cheaper price for the famous tea later." Li Mo took out the black gold card from his wallet, the store owner's eyes became brighter, and he said with a brighter smile under his eyes, "Sir, your tea set is Those who are going to give it away, if you say how precious they are, it’s really lacking in shortcomings, after all, they haven’t experienced the precipitation of time. If you want to give an elder as a gift, I will recommend you a better ancient pot with a century-old heritage.”

Li Mo raised his eyebrows. He was thinking about how to bring the topic to the Ming Dynasty purple sand pot. Unexpectedly, the boss had a good eye and recommended it to him.

"Oh, a hundred-year-old purple clay teapot is really rare. If you can let me see it, money is not a problem, as long as the things are good."

The store owner is more cheerful and likes to hear such words.

"Sir, this purple sand teapot is what I want to recommend to you. It has a history of a hundred years and has been passed down for three generations. You can see that the appearance of this purple clay teapot is very well preserved, without any wear and tear. Look inside the teapot, a layer of tea has already condensed You, don’t underestimate this tea stain, no matter what kind of tea you brew in this pot, the tea’s fragrance will increase by [-]%, which is very precious. Look at this shape again, it’s simple and elegant, it’s an extremely rare top-quality purple clay pot.”

The owner of the store began to speak with a three-inch tongue, saying that this purple clay pot is unique in the world.

"Boss, I'll get started."

Li Mo picked up the purple clay pot on the table and slowly admired it.His eyes moved around the mouth of the pot, the bottom of the pot, and the handle, and suddenly his eyes focused on the inner circle of the handle, where there were two small italic characters engraved: Gongchun.

Whoops, Li Mo finally remembered whose work this is, it is really Gongchun who is known as the originator of the purple sand pot.

According to legend, the original name of Gongchun was Gong Chun, who was from Zhengde to Jiajing in Ming Dynasty.Gong Chun was an official's bookboy, when

When I accompanied my master to study at Jinsha Temple in Yixing, an old monk in the temple was very good at making purple clay pots, and Gongchun learned it secretly.

Later, he used the pottery mud deposited at the bottom of the tank by the old monk's hands, and made a pot in the shape of the gall of the big ginkgo tree next to Jinsha Temple, which is the shape of the tree tumor, and carved the patterns on the gall.After firing, this pot is very simple and lovely, so this kind of purple sand pot that imitates the natural shape has become famous all of a sudden, and people call it a spring pot.

There are very few gongchun pots in the world, so rare that there is only one collection in the Kyoto Museum.

This kind of purple sand teapot is famous for its simple and exquisite shape, elegant and natural, pure, thin and solid quality.

There is such a comment in history: a pot for spring is better than gold and jade.
