    The Deng Kui mentioned by the mouse is also a famous pot maker. He was a descendant of Daoguang and a calligrapher. He often cooperated with purple clay artists. He also participated in the design and production of purple clay pots. He wrote his own inscriptions, or carved flowers and bamboos, and printed "talisman" on the bottom of the pot.  Deng Kui was born to supervise the production."  The various pots he made were also popular among literati at that time.

    Specific to the tin pot that Mouse took out, it is a tea pot. Its surface has been naturally oxidized over time, making it calm and moist.  The pot is made in the style of a gourd, with a bulging belly, a flat bottom, sloping shoulders and a round high neck. The top of the lid is inlaid with a white jade melon stem button. The flow of the pot is in a three-bend shape, and half of the round handle is embedded in a jade carving of two dragons competing for the pearl. It is a typical "three inlaid jade" style.  Tin kettle.  On one side of the pot, there is an inscription "Bayan rain, golden sand spring. One pot talks about the sky in the pot", and the left side is signed "Fu Sheng carved".

    Meng Zitao made some observations and found that the tin pot should be genuine, but its value was only around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan at most. It would be too easy for the mouse to escape with just this pot.

    So, he looked at the mouse with a half-smile: "Is it just such a thing?"

    Mouse smiled bitterly and said: "Shopkeeper Meng, I'm just making a small fuss. For people like us, such a thing is already huge, and it is definitely incomparable to your level."

    Meng Zitao's face dropped: "Then you just said you wanted to get something to compensate, and you just want to solve the problem with just such a thing? Who do you think I am! Or are you deliberately using such a thing to perfunctory me?  ?¡±

    The mouse said humbly: "What you said, I don't dare to deal with you no matter what! The most valuable thing I have here is really this tin kettle. If you don't believe it, come with me and take a look inside my house."  s things."

    ¡°Then let¡¯s go and have a look.¡±

    "Uh" Seeing that Meng Zitao agreed according to his words, Mouse couldn't help being slightly startled, and he wanted to slap himself in the face.

    "Why, you don't dare to take me there?" Meng Zitao's face began to look a little ferocious.

    Mouse waved his hands quickly: "How could this happen? It's just that my room is a little messy."

    Meng Zitao chuckled and said, "I'm not afraid of chaos, so hurry up and lead the way."

    Mo Zi was helpless and had no choice but to take Meng Zitao into his room where the collection was kept.

    The situation in the room is completely different from that in the living room. There are several ancient cabinets placed around it, and the things are arranged in an orderly manner. Compared with the living room, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.

    "Hey, it's quite messy here." Meng Zitao turned his head and glanced at the mouse.

    The mouse was also thick-skinned, he chuckled and said, "I just cleaned it up."

    Meng Zitao said: "Ha, you are very fast. Let me change your name and call you 'Three Seconds King'. What do you think?"

    The mouse chuckled and cursed in his heart: "You are the 'Three Seconds King', and your whole family is the 'Three Seconds King'!"

    Meng Zitao put his eyes on the ancient cabinet in the room, but the things on it made him slightly disappointed. Most of them only cost ten thousand yuan at most, and he didn't know whether they were authentic or not. He didn't have any such things.  idea.

    After glancing around, Meng Zitao said calmly: "Don't tell me, you don't have a safe here."

    Mouse felt helpless, so he had to walk to a cabinet next to him and open the door below. There was a safe inside.

    The mouse didn¡¯t shy away from Meng Zitao and opened the box directly. There were two things inside, both porcelain and clear flower porcelain.

    Mouse took them out of the safe and carefully brought them to the table for Meng Zitao to watch.

    The two pieces of porcelain are a blue and white lotus plate with intertwined branches from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and a small vase with blue and white branches and auspicious fruit patterns from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.

    ? Looking at the two pieces of porcelain, the workmanship is very exquisite, and the decoration pays attention to "literacy, elegance, precision and detail". Ordinary people will think that they are fine works.

    However, Meng Zitao is not an ordinary person, and he can tell at a glance that there are problems with these two pieces of porcelain, and they are both made of high imitation green materials.

    "Mouse, where did you get these two pieces of porcelain?" Meng Zitao asked.

    "They were all bought in Yangcheng." Mouse said.

    ¡°Write me the seller¡¯s address.¡± Meng Zitao said.

    The mouse was stunned for a moment, then he went to get a pen and paper, wrote down the seller's information, and said with a pained face: "I bought it from this person, and it cost me most of my savings."

    Meng Zitao chuckled: "Okay, don't pretend to be pretentious. Just put these two things wherever you took them out."

    The mouse was startled when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "Shopkeeper Meng, do you mean that these two things are wrong?"

    "What do you think?" Meng Zitao asked.Halfway through, Meng Zitao received a call from Shu Ze, saying that he had arrived in Ling City and was now in Zheng Anzhina, and asked him to go back quickly if nothing happened.

    Meng Zitao drove back to his home community and came to Zheng Anzhi¡¯s house with the box containing the tea pet.

    Shu Ze saw Meng Zitao, said hello, and said with a smile: "Okay, here comes the treasure again! Tell me, what is it again?"

    "Just a purple sand tea pet." Meng Zitao said with a smile.

    "Tea pet?" Shu Ze was a little surprised. The reason was simple. Most people didn't know how to make tea pets with good materials.

    Meng Zitao took out the tea pet, and everyone¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Shu Ze said: "It's really rare to have an elephant tea pet in Taiping! And this tea pet is also quite big, which is a bit abnormal!"

    The Taiping Youxiang tea pet in front of me is not big to the ordinary eye, but compared with the existing tea pets, it is a bit big. Generally speaking, tea pets should be of moderate shape and not too big, because there are also considerations.  Let most of its body function as a water reservoir.  So Shu Ze said it's not common.

    Shu Ze continued: "Also, the pulp looks a bit dark. The owner has not taken good care of it! If this is a treasure, most people will not do this!"

    In fact, it is a very time-consuming and laborious task to maintain the patina on the tea pet, because after watering it with tea every day, you have to rub the surface of the tea pet with a clean towel, which is used to remove the dirt on the surface and polish it again.  Do not leave the tea soup on the surface of the tea pet. Over time, the surface of the tea pet will be filled with tea stains and the appearance will appear damaged. This is a taboo for tea lovers.

    After a week of this, there will be red marks on the surface of the tea pet. This is because the bottom layer of patina is gradually formed, and the color of the tea pet will become lighter over time.  Leave it naturally for a week to allow the tea pet to dry naturally. At the same time, the surface will evenly contact the air to form a fine and uniform oxidation protective layer.

    At this time, I started to dish with my hands. When dishing, my hands must have been washed and dried thoroughly. Please do not dish with sweaty hands directly. You can dish for about 30 minutes a day. After a week to two weeks, you will feel that the tea pet is sticky.  It feels like a thin layer of patina has actually formed.

    Repeat 5 to 6 times, that is, within 3 months, you will see the tea pet has a very spiritual luster. The tea pet that is well coated will have a strong reflection, which is somewhat like a glass luster.

    Because of this, tea pets are generally not of excellent quality, so who would spend so much effort?  That's why Shu Ze said that.

    "No, this tea pet is made of azure clay." Zheng Anzhi said seriously.

    "What, Tianqing Ni, it's impossible!" Shu Ze said in surprise.

    "Do you think that the works made from azure clay are azure, but you are completely wrong!"

    Zheng Anzhi said: "It is recorded in "Yangxian Teapot Record" written by Gaoqi of the Ming Zhou Dynasty: 'The azure clay gives off the dark liver color of Lishu pottery.' It means that the color after roasting is like the deep color of pig liver. Why is this mineral soil used  It is called azure mud. The research basis is: 1. Azure, the name of dyeing. It is dark black and reddish; the so-called dark green with red cyanosis; 2. The predecessors used to call this mud because it is similar to azure dye.

    In fact, purple clay has always been called green clay in the purple clay industry.  Azure clay is the best clay among purple clays and has a deep color after roasting.  Soft and elegant.  The actual object can be seen in Xu Sihai¡¯s collection of the ¡®tycoon¡¯s teapot¡¯.

    In the old days, purple clay merchants considered cost when using clay. Half of the clay used in purple clay pots was ordinary purple clay.  In order to achieve visual beauty, the cost must be low and the shrinkage rate must be small. The mud used is commonly known as medium mud or red medium mud.  In order to achieve beauty, the surface of the blank is painted with red mud or green mud, which is called makeup clay. This is also true for ordinary teapots with larger capacity.

    Real azure clay, due to the scarcity of raw materials, will not be used by non-experts and will not be made unless it is a high-quality product.  Because of the scarcity of azure clay, in the 1970s, the Taodu Zisha Craft Factory used a synthetic method to make azure clay.  From this, the purple mud emerged.  However, due to factors such as mass production of base ore and formula base, it failed to materialize.  But occasionally there have been results, but less often.  "

    Seeing the master looking at him, Meng Zitao took over and said: "So Tianqing Clay, the word "green" refers to the color of the mineral material. For example, Benshan Green Clay, the mineral is green, and when it is burned, it is yellow. If someone holds it, cyan,  If someone comes to tell you that this is gray or green clay, then he is a layman who has never even seen a purple sand mine, a fake bricklayer. Nowadays, many of these people don¡¯t even say they have been to the capital of pottery. They don¡¯t even know what a purple sand mine is.  The fake people who know this are just spreading lies."
