    Zheng Anzhi waved his hand and said: "You have your own affairs. How can I let you join this organization or that organization all day long? It's just that I learned that half a month later, there was a small  During the private auction, a firewood kiln will appear. Please help me take a look. If it is genuine, then buy it."

    "You're talking about Zhou Shizong's firewood kiln?" Meng Zitao was very surprised.

    "Chai kiln, so far a name in name only, has become an eternal mystery that no one can solve.  It is said that the firewood kiln was founded by Chai Rong, Shizong of the later Zhou Dynasty, but there is no record at that time, not even a few words.

    The earliest documentary record is found by Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty. From the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China, most of the documents were based on Cao Zhao's simple records and developed them.

    For example, Liang Tongshu of the Qing Dynasty recorded in his "An Examination of Ancient Kilns": "The Chai kiln was built by Chai Shizong of the later Zhou Dynasty, so it was named after his surname Chai The Chai kiln is as green as the sky and as bright as a mirror.  It is as thin as paper, sounds like a chime, is moist and delicate, and has fine lines. It is said that on the day when the porcelain was made, King Sejong commented on its shape and said: "After the rain, the sky is clear and the clouds are clearthis color is for the future." There is enough coarse loess to make fine colors.  Different, it is the crown of all kilns."

    Although some people have tried to solve the mystery, in the end they suffer from the lack of actual comparison, and it is mostly based on one family's opinions and one's own opinion.

    So far, most researchers have denied its existence, but a few scholars believe that the Chai kiln is the exquisite blue and white porcelain of the Hutian kiln as described by the Song Dynasty. This opinion is gradually accepted by the general public.  Some people also think that it may be the shadow celadon of the Central Plains.  Those who think it is a fine Yue kiln celadon generally cite the document "Tan Hui" as evidence.

    In addition, it is also said that Chai kiln porcelain is secret color porcelain, but because the secret color porcelain was unearthed at Famen Temple, this theory has been ruled out.

    In any case, the current understanding of firewood kilns is still in confusion. It is not certain whether there is a firewood kiln. Because of this, Meng Zitao was surprised, because since the master said so, he should be able to confirm the existence of firewood kilns.  Yes, but why haven¡¯t I heard of it?

    Zheng Anzhi said: "Previously, some archaeological team members discovered some special porcelain pieces, which were consistent with the records of firewood kilns in ancient books, and they were scientifically identified. They were definitely from the Five Dynasties period and were thought to be firewood kiln porcelain. However, because there were no  The whole vessel was found, and there were very few porcelain fragments, so it was not published.¡±

    As he spoke, he pointed to a small box on the table: "The thing is inside, take a look."

    Meng Zitao opened the box and saw a piece of azure-glazed porcelain inside. He took it into his hand and observed it carefully. Judging from the characteristics of this piece of porcelain, it matched the loess body. The body was thin and the glaze was bright and fine.  Sky blue color, full of large fine lines and other characteristics of wood kilns.

    He gently tapped the porcelain piece again and found that the knocking sound was like a chime, which showed that the carcass of the wood kiln was strong and the sintering temperature was relatively high. In addition, under a high-power magnifying glass, it could be seen that the glaze of the wood kiln contained minerals such as red sapphire.  The material particles are smooth and the glaze surface is smooth. There is no orange peel pattern like Ru kiln, and it emits a bright luster like a gem.

    Under a 40x magnifying glass, no bubbles can be seen on the porcelain slices, but at 100x magnification, scattered small bubbles can be seen. Both sides of the old slices have been calcified and there are many colorless slices, which shows that over the course of thousands of years, the slices have been  It is constantly being generated and is constantly changing.

    Finally, Meng Zitao used supernatural powers to conduct an appraisal, and the results also showed that this was most likely a real firewood kiln.

    "How do you feel?" Zheng Anzhi asked with a smile.

    Hearing Meng Zitao explain in detail the results of his previous observations, he said happily: "Very good, I hope you can spread good news after arriving in the UK."

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "I should be able to."

    "Then I'll transfer you 10 million US dollars first. If it's not enough, you can pay it first."

    "This much money should be enough."

    Zheng Anzhi shook his head: "If it is indeed Chai Kiln porcelain, it would be hard to say."

    Meng Zitao was right when he thought about it. Not even a complete piece of Chai Kiln porcelain has been found. There is a saying that rare things are more valuable, not to mention this kind of precious porcelain. If calculated in RMB, it may be worth hundreds of millions.

    After sitting with the master for a while, Meng Zitao also learned about some progress in the recovery of returned cultural relics. Generally speaking, the situation is not optimistic. There are very few successful cases. Not many precious things can be returned. "Returned" cultural relics  95% of them are general cultural relics except first-, second- and third-level cultural relics. They are not precious cultural relics. The precious things are kept in other people's museums.

    However, our cultural relics law stipulates that general cultural relics other than first-, second- and third-level precious cultural relics can be circulated and exported. If it is sold, and now you pay to buy it back, it can only be regarded as  It is a very normal business behavior and cannot be called a reshoring at all.Faced with this situation, Meng Zitao was also overwhelmed and thought angrily in his heart that when Xiao Likai got results, he would make a lot of money from foreigners, or exchange it for those precious things that did not go abroad through legal channels.  Artifacts are also an option.

    Meng Zitao went home to pack his luggage and received a call from the photo studio, asking them to take a look at the samples.

    Meng Zitao thought to himself that the more money he gave, the more efficient the photo studio would be. He called He Wanyi and told him about the matter.

    But just as Meng Zitao was about to go out to pick up He Wanyi, he received another call from Hu Yuanliang, saying that his friend had won four Flower God Cups. He took a look at it, but he was a little unsure. In addition, his friend had won  The process of making the Flower God Cup is a bit bizarre, so I wanted to ask Meng Zitao to go over and have a look. His friend is waiting in the store now.

    The Flower God Cup is a set of seasonal wine cups made by the imperial kiln during the Kangxi period. Each set has twelve pieces, representing different months. Each month is accompanied by a kind of monthly flower, with five-character and seven-character poems beside it.  , with a seal seal with the word "shang" at the end, has always been praised as a porcelain treasure of the Kangxi Dynasty.

    "Tao Ya" praised: "Kangxi's December flower wine glass, one cup contains one flower, some are blue and white, some are colorful, the texture is very thin, two bahts are light on their own.  If you want to make do with the flowers in December, it will be extremely difficult."  . The value of blue and white is not too high."

    In the auction market, the Flower God Cup is undoubtedly very popular among buyers and often fetches high prices. Based on the current market value, the price of four Flower God Cups is at least one million.

    He Wanyi just said on the phone that she still had something to do, and it would take a while before she could leave. Originally, it didn't matter if Meng Zitao waited, but now that something happened, he called He Wanyi again.

    When Meng Zitao came to the antique shop, he saw Hu Yuanliang and the others looking at the four cups on the table attentively, and they were still discussing from time to time.

    Seeing Meng Zitao come in, Hu Yuanliang stood up and introduced him. His friend Sun Qingzhe was also a young man in his thirties. He was very elegant and seemed to be a learned man.  And his current position is also related to culture. He is a columnist. He usually likes antiques, but his level is only average.

    Meng Zitao took a look at the four Flower God Cups. They looked really good, so he asked, "Mr. Sun, could you tell me the origins of these four Flower God Cups?"

    Sun Qingzhe said: "Of course you can. In fact, when I think back now, I am still a little uneasy and feel that I may have been deceived."

    It turns out that yesterday afternoon, Sun Qingzhe saw a middle-aged man setting up a street stall on the roadside, with a piece of cloth on the ground and a small cup buckled on it.

    When he saw this, Sun Qingzhe knew that this was a trick of guessing the number of melon seeds or raisins in the bowl. If he guessed correctly, he would win double the amount of money he had bet.  This is a scam that used to be common, except here it¡¯s replaced with cups.

    At that time, Sun Qingzhe thought with disdain, this kind of old-fashioned deception is still being used to show people, who would fall for it?

    However, Sun Qingzhe looked around and found that there was only this middle-aged man setting up a stall, and there was no one else around, which was a bit abnormal.

    Generally speaking, this kind of scammer who guesses the number of bowls will definitely have a few accomplices nearby who deliberately bet money to guess the number of balls in the bowl and show the winnings to the onlookers. Then the scammers' accomplices will encourage the greedy and greedy people who see the winnings.  People bet money to play.

    Players can never beat them. For example, a deceiver saw that there were 2 bets in the bowl and bet 50 yuan, but when the scammer opened the bowl, it became 3 bets because the scammer still had it in his finger when he opened the bowl.  He picked up one, and when he opened the bowl, he let go and it fell into the bowl.

    Then, the deceived person was not willing to lose 50 and took out 100 to play again. This time he saw 2 coins, and he said it was 3. When he bet, he checked the cheater's hand and it turned out to be 1 after the bowl was opened. He lost again.  Got it!  It turned out that the scammer took one away with his fingers when opening the bowl.

    Some people may think that this kind of scam is too low-level and how can anyone be fooled, but in fact, just like the ever-changing telecommunications fraud, there will always be people who are fooled and the reason is greed.

    Closer to home, Sun Qingzhe saw that there were no swindlers around, and the place where the stall was set up was too remote. It was not off work time, so there were not many people around to watch, and even if someone passed by, they would just take a look and then leave.  No one tried.

    "Is this liar a fool?" Sun Qingzhe thought, and he became curious, so he walked over and took a look. When he saw the cup, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he subconsciously felt that this cup was extraordinary.  .

    When he saw the "Made in the Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty" at the bottom and the word "Shang" on the cup body, Sun Qingzhe almost exclaimed, this is the Flower God Cup!

    Sun Qingzhe hurriedly walked over and chatted with the stall owner. Then he found an excuse and picked up the Flower God Cup. He saw that the wall of the cup was as thin as paper, the glaze was as smooth as jade, and the color was elegant.  The outer wall is painted with blue and white magnolia flowers in February. Next to it is a poem inscribed with the poem "Golden emerald calyx brings spring cold, there are several kinds of yellow flowers", with a seal seal with the word "shang" at the end.

    This is clearly exactly the same as the Flower God Cup in his memory, and it should be the authentic one.

    "Feng Shui circulates, and when it comes to my house this year, it seems that I will be the one to pick it up!" Sun Qingzhe couldn't help but think happily.
