    Meng Zitao asked: "Why don't you come back?"

    Xu Xingzhi sighed: "Hey, the reason why he transferred this Sanyang Zun was actually to go abroad. Now that he has immigrated abroad, where can he go?"

    Thinking of the losses he had suffered, Xu Xingzhi felt like crying. How many things did he have to sell to earn back the money?

    Dong Jichang patted Xu Xingzhi on the shoulder and said, "Shopkeeper Xu, look away. It's a blessing in disguise."

    Xu Xingzhi said sadly: "It's more than one million, how can you tell me to look at it?"

    When Dong Jichang heard the price mentioned by Xu Xingzhi, his expression was a little strange. However, he was relieved when he thought that based on the market conditions, he had not suffered a loss from the price he had just discussed with Xu Xingzhi. He could not let Xu Xingzhi give him the things at the price he paid for them.  Well, besides, this kind of accident has happened now.

    Meng Zitao is somewhat embarrassed. After all, the current antique market is very irregular, and goods of unknown origin are very popular. If he hadn't been the one here today, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.  Maybe when problems are discovered in the future, the things have changed hands many times, and Xu Xingzhi will definitely not suffer such losses.

    Therefore, Meng Zitao secretly decided to compensate Xu Xingzhi no matter what.

    Xu Xingzhi was depressed for a while and asked Meng Zitao: "Teacher Meng, how are you going to solve this matter?"

    Meng Zitao said: "Can I take a few photos?"

    "No problem, but it's okay for you to take the things directly. Just write me a note."

    Now that the matter has reached this point, Xu Xingzhi feels that his attitude should be better. If the police want to investigate him inside and out on a whim, then if his past dealings in pit traps are discovered, they can also find him.  Meng Zitao needs to be honest, otherwise he will be in trouble with his grandma¡¯s family.

    "That couldn't be better." So, Meng Zitao smiled and wrote a receipt to Xu Xingzhi: "By the way, I wonder, Shopkeeper Xu, do you know who organized the exchange meeting?"

    "I really don't know about this, but I can ask another friend for you. He may know about it."

    After saying that, Xu Xingzhi called his friend. After asking, he said to Meng Zitao: "My friend said it was organized by a boss nicknamed 'Fat Toutuo'."

    "Fat Toutuo?"

    ¡°It¡¯s said that he looks like Fat Tou Tuo in the last century¡¯s Xiangjiang version of The Deer and the Cauldron, so he got this nickname.¡±

    Meng Zitao laughed, since it would be easier to find him this way, so he expressed his thanks again.

    When the waiter was packing the Sanyang Zun, Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Xu, to be honest, I prefer literary toys. I wonder if you have such high-quality products here?"

    This is the compensation method that Meng Zitao thought of. After a long time, it will not be able to make up for Xu Xingzhi's losses.

    Xu Xingzhi thought for a while and said, "I don't have many outstanding collections of cultural objects. I wonder if a purple clay teapot can be used?"

    Meng Zitao asked: "Who is the author?"

    Xu Xingzhi replied: "Chen Hezhi in the late Ming Dynasty."

    Chen Hezhi was a master of pot making in the pottery capital during the Tianqi and Chongzhen years of the Ming Dynasty.  According to the "Yangxian Teapot Series. Different Schools" written by Gao Qi of the Ming Dynasty: "Chen Hezhi was good at imitating Youquan and Junyong. He was a native of Tianqi and Chongzhen." It can be seen that he was good at imitating Xu Youquan and Shen Junyong, and his style of teapot was high and clear.  Absolutely, calligraphy has the style of Jin and Tang Dynasties.

    Purple clay ware from the Ming Dynasty is extremely rare to this day.  Most of them are collected and studied by museums.  Looking at the Ming Dynasty purple clay wares collected by major museums in the country, there are about 50 pieces in the collection of the Palace Museum in Beijing.  So far, there may not be a single purple clay teapot made by Chen Hezhi in any domestic museum.  This shows how precious his works are.

    Therefore, Meng Zitao was very happy and quickly asked Xu Xingzhi to bring over the purple clay pot.

    People in the Ming Dynasty changed their tea-drinking habits from boiling brick tea to brewing loose tea. From then on, teapots began to rise. Due to its natural breathability, purple clay mud is an excellent raw material for teapots. From the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, it has become popular.

    The purple clay pot that Xu Xingzhi brought is a typical Ming Dynasty style. It has a round belly, plump shoulders, and gradually tapers below the belly. It has a short curved flow, a lifting handle protruding from the shoulder, a round lid that fits with a female button, and a bead-shaped button. The mud color is purple, simple and rich.  , the overall shape is harmonious and full, the pot body and handles alternate between virtual and real, simple and elegant.  "Chen Hezhi" is written in regular script at the bottom. The font is regular and steady, and the strokes are clear and powerful.

    There are very few handed down Ming Dynasty purple clay teapots. Based on the analysis of unearthed cultural relics from dating tombs and cellars since the 1960s, the Ming Dynasty purple clay teapots can be roughly divided into three categories.

    A type of relatively rough works mostly made of ocher-red coarse sand mud, with a shape of??Simple and elegant, without any decoration, they are daily necessities for the common people; the second category is made by famous people, which are more delicate purple clay teapots. These works are mostly used by dignitaries or literati; the third category is made of purple clay.  The body is glazed or lacquered on the outside. Most of these works are hidden in the Palace Museum and are rarely seen outside.  Chen He's purple clay teapot should belong to the second category and was made by celebrities in the Ming Dynasty.

    This purple clay teapot of Chen He style is beautiful in form and made with very rigorous craftsmanship. The lid and mouth are jointed together tightly and smoothly.  The structure of the entire pot body is in coordinated proportions and the lines of the body are smooth.  Due to the exquisite materials used in this pot, including purple sand and mud with small sand particles, after a long period of playing with it, the luster of the surface of the pot has unconsciously changed, and the old color and patina phenomenon have appeared, making it appear more quaint.

    The three-character name "Chen Hezhi" is engraved in the center of the bottom. The structure is smooth, the shape of the pen is regular, round and strong, without restraint, and has the legacy of the Jin and Tang Dynasties.

    Nowadays, among the records that Meng Zitao has seen, there is only one Zisha teapot of Chen He style that has been circulated in an orderly manner. From all aspects, this Zisha teapot can be mutually corroborated with the Zisha teapot in the description.  It should be a genuine item, something that can only be found but not sought.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "I didn't expect that, Shopkeeper Xu, you actually have Chen Hezhi's purple clay pot here. It's really rare."

    After hearing this, Xu Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "To be honest, I wasn't sure that this was an authentic product before, but now that you say that, I feel relieved."

    Meng Zitao laughed: "Then you have to pay me the appraisal fee."

    "Easy to say, easy to say." Xu Xingzhi smiled and said: "Besides, don't worry, there should be no problem with the origin of this purple clay pot."

    Meng Zitao nodded with a smile and stood up: "Shopkeeper Xu, please give me a price."

    "Can."

    The two of them walked aside and Xu Xingzhi offered a price of 800,000. Meng Zitao thought about it for a moment and agreed without even thinking of a counter-offer: "Okay, let's take this price."

    Although the price he offered was not expensive, Xu Xingzhi did not expect that Meng Zitao would agree without even paying the price. He also understood that this was Meng Zitao's apology for what had just happened, and he was very moved.

    The two of them went directly to pay with their credit cards and exchanged business cards. Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Xu, if you get any treasures in the future, you can contact me. The price can be easily negotiated."

    "That's for sure." Xu Xingzhi laughed and sighed in his heart: "As the old saying goes, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. The ancients never deceived me!"

    After lunch, Meng Zitao said goodbye to Xu Xingzhi and Dong Jichang.  Considering that due to Dong Jichang's invitation today, he not only picked up the leak but also got a purple clay teapot from Chen Zhizhi, but Dong Jichang came back empty-handed. This made Meng Zitao very embarrassed, so he agreed with Dong Jichang and transferred it to him later.  Fine china.

    Meng Zitao rang the doorbell of his master's house, and Zheng Chenghan came and opened the door after a while.

    "Senior brother, do you have a rest today?" Meng Zitao was a little curious. Although today is Saturday, his senior brother has no concept of rest. Even if he wants to take a rest, it will basically be arranged on Sunday. If he has a rest on Saturday, he will be in the west with the sun.  Almost out.

    "Isn't it that your master is going back to Ling City in a few days? I thought that as the old man is older, I would like to spend more time with him, so I took a long leave as a way to show my filial piety to my children."

    After receiving Meng Zitao's treatment, Zheng Chenghan found that his body was getting better and better. It could be said that compared with before, he was in heaven and on earth. This made him happy, but at the same time, he also felt a sense of emotion in his heart.  Thinking that my father was getting older and could only spend a few days with him a year, I simply took annual leave.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Master must be very happy to know your decision." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
