Seeing Song Jun's anxious appearance, Chu Chen laughs and puts the box containing tianqingni on the table. Song Jun hurriedly took the box into his hand, opened it, and his face immediately showed a very excited look.
Song Jun was ecstatic and nodded: "yes! It's tianqingni! After so many years of searching, I finally saw it again! "
After hearing this, Zhu Dafu asked curiously, "Xiao Song, have you ever seen tianqingni before?"
Song Jun raised his head and said with a smile: "not only have you seen it, but also there are some azure mud in my home."
"Well?" Everyone was a little surprised at this.
Zhu Dafu asked curiously: "since you have it in your family, why do you still keep looking for tianqingni?"
Song Jun said with a smile: "I think we all know the difficulty of making azure clay. The azure clay collected by my family can only make a small pot. Even if I am sure of making it, I dare not try it."
Speaking of this, Song Jun arched his hand to Chu Chen: "can I trouble you, curator of Chu?"
"Go ahead, please." Chu Chen nodded and said with a smile, "but if you let me sell Tianqing mud, I can't bear it."
"I do have this plan, but since you don't want to, let's change it."
Song Jun was disappointed and then said, "well, I guess you can make three or four small pots out of the Tianqing clay. Can I make one too? If it fails, I'll take the Tianqing clay I collected as compensation. What do you think?"
This kind of request has no loss for Chu Chen. Of course, he would not disagree with it. He said with a smile:
"master song, in this case, don't I have to take the stool?"
Song Jun waved his hand and said with a smile, "it's nothing like that. For me, the biggest wish in my life is to be able to successfully produce a real Tianqing clay work, but I've been suffering from the lack of such an opportunity. If you agree, it's a great help for me. If you feel embarrassed, just give me a meaning after you succeed. "
Chuchen said with a smile, "that's for sure."
Then Chu Chen took out another box, put it in front of Song Jun, and said, "master song, please have a look at these dark green mud?"
Song Jun was a little stunned. Then he remembered that Chu Chen had got some dark green mud. He looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "yes, they are all excellent dark green mud. Now they are all treasures at the bottom of the box."
Zhu Dafu asked: "Xiao Song, how many things can these dark green mud make?"
After thinking about it, Song Jun replied, "it depends on how big you are, and the mix of clay is also very particular, so I'm not sure. But anyway, if you make the kind of small pot I just mentioned, it will be more than Tianqing clay."
Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "in this case, we will trouble you this time."
Song Jun waved his hand with a smile: "that's no problem, but if there are more, there must be some influence on time."
Zhao Xueyi said, "it doesn't matter. We're not in a hurry. You can do it whenever it's convenient for you."
Everyone nodded yes.
Next, we discussed the style of the pot. Because there are ready-made shapes to choose from, we all decided quickly. As for the details, that's Song Jun's problem.
After discussing the shape of the pot, Chu Chen asked, "master song, are you familiar with Dajinshan in Taodu?"
"Big gold mountain?" Song Jun looked a little surprised and asked, "curator Chu, you don't want to do business in building materials, do you?"
Chu Chen smell speech a Leng, surprised a way: "this words how say?"
Song Jun replied: "there are quarries or building materials factories. I remember many places have Dajinshan. Are you wrong?"
Chuchen heard this, can't help but some silly eyes, because think of today's Song Jun to come, he did not go to the Internet to check information, did not 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 these questions, but he didn't ask much. He answered truthfully: "I don't know exactly how long it will take. Anyway, I remember it for a long time."
After listening to Song Jun's reply, Chu Chen is basically sure that there is very little possibility that it is the place mentioned in the poem. Besides, even if the place implied in the poem is there, after so many years of mountain and stone mining, the treasure has been poached by others, right?
However, people are like this. Sometimes they can't get down without seeing it with their own eyes. Chu Chen's psychology is the same now. He decides to wait until the strange words are solved to see what they mean. If he doesn't make it clear, he will go to Dajinshan in Taodu, or he won't give up.
"Or I made a mistake." Chu Chen had a ha ha and turned the topic aside.
Since receiving Zhu Dafu's phone call, Song Jun has been in a state of continuous rotation. Next, talking, he can't help feeling sleepy, and finally he yawns, which makes him very embarrassed.Everyone understood this very well. He advised Song Jun to go back to rest, and he agreed to come down. Then Chu Chen drove him back to the hotel.
…………
Because there were so many things to do, the next day, after signing an agreement with Chu Chen, Song Jun went back to Taodu with clay. Because there were so many uncertain factors, he didn't say when the pot was made. Chu Chen guessed that it might take several years for Song Jun to make the Tianqing clay pot.
Some people may think it's incredible, how can a purple clay pot take several years to make?
This is the difference between handmade purple clay teapots and porcelain. Generally speaking, the real connotation of "handmade teapots" must be "traditional handmade molding techniques", that is, to follow the wooden turntable beating and inlaying molding techniques inherited from the Ming Dynasty, and to use traditional bamboo, horn, copper, iron and other tools in the production process.
Beat mud pieces, mud to build the best use of sandalwood and jujube wood, wood turntable is generally good beech and sandalwood. The shape of these two tools has been inherited since Ming Dynasty.
"Traditional hand molding technique" also has a major feature, that is, it can be refined, and there is no need to rush to complete at one time. The coarse glaze cylinder is one of the most important tools for storing mud slabs. Water is stored at the bottom of the cylinder, which is separated by a mud layer with water injection holes in the middle. The finished and semi-finished mud slabs are placed on the mud layer and sealed with a wooden cover. The humidity of mud slabs can be controlled at any time by adjusting the height of the water surface, and there is no need to worry about shape or damage.
Because of this, some masters need to carve a piece of work for several years to complete, with high artistic value and high price.
But similarly, the time cost can't be reduced. Therefore, in the general market, although shops boast that they sell handmade purple clay teapots, many of them have to ask questions based on the price of those so-called handmade teapots.
In the twinkling of an eye, half a month passed. That morning, Chu Chen went to visit Liu's hometown.
After chatting with his parents for a while, Mr. Liu said, "ah Chen, it will take some time for that poem to be translated accurately."
Chu Chen waved his hand: "it doesn't matter. I'm not in a hurry."
Mr. Liu said with a smile, "there's another thing I want to tell you. I read the relevant materials and found that the original judgment of Dajinshan is probably wrong."
Chu Chen nodded and said, "yes, I also checked some information and found that there are several places called Jinshan in Taodu, such as Jinshan fortress. Maybe it's one of them in the poem."
"We can't guess the right thing now. We'd better wait until the whole poem is translated."
Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "ah Chen, there's something urgent. I want you to go to other provinces."
"Where to?" Chu Chen asked.
"Jiangcheng."
"No problem. You can say something."
"That's what happened." Mr. Liu explained the matter.
It turned out that after learning about CAI Jianxuan's appearance after plastic surgery that day, the investigators began to investigate. Because it had been several days, and CAI Jianxuan was more cunning, they almost broke the clue during the period. But even so, now they only know that CAI Jianxuan should not have gone abroad, and there is only a general scope of where he is.
Of course, as the old saying goes, the word "serious" is the most feared word in the world. Yesterday, the investigators finally got a very important clue that someone bought a Jun porcelain from the suspected Cai Jianxuan's staff the day before yesterday. And according to the clues, we got the man.
However, the man didn't admit that his things were fake, and he didn't admit that he knew Cai Jianxuan. He couldn't open his mouth for a moment.
In this case, the most convenient way is to identify the authenticity of the porcelain, but many experts, including Qiao Qingtai, can not determine the authenticity of the thing, so they thought of asking Chu Chen to help identify the authenticity.
Hearing this, Chu Chen asked, "what are the characteristics of Baojiang?"
Liu Lao shook his head: "Lao Qiao said that Baojiang is not too old, but it looks very natural. There is no trace of Baojiang liquid, but he always feels that there is something wrong and it is hard to judge. You can see the details."
Chu Chen said, "OK, I'll arrange things and set out."
Old Liu nodded and said, "ah Chen, help me say sorry to Xiao Ke after I go back."
Chuchen said with a smile: "master, what are you talking about? Besides, I can't help you with your mother and Xiaolan at home."
Qiao Qingtai always wanted to invite chuchen to visit him, but chuchen didn't have time to go to Jiangcheng. This time, he just took the opportunity to go.
Next, Chu Chen went back to Siheyuan to pack his bags and told his family about it. However, they were worried because they all remembered the previous gift giving and tracking, and were afraid that CAI Jianxuan would jump over the wall and make some crazy moves.
Chu Chen quickly comforted everyone not to worry, because their concerns had already been solved by the investigators. It can be said that at this time, Jiangcheng was already a net in the sky. As long as Cai Jianxuan's people made any move, it would not be long before they could be found out.
If it wasn't for this, Mr. Liu wouldn't let chuchen go to Jiangcheng. After all, chuchen is his most proud disciple. How can he push chuchen to the fire pit.After listening to Chu Chen's explanation and consolation, everyone felt a little relieved. But even so, they still told Chu Chen to take Hu Yong and Zuo Shan with him. With their protection, they were relieved.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, chuchen three people set foot on the land of Jiangcheng. As soon as they walked out of the passage, they saw Qiao Qingtai's pick-up personnel holding a sign to the exit. So the three men went up.
The two sides made an introduction. The pick-up staff took three people to the parking lot and asked them to get on a business car. Then the car drove to Qiao Qingtai's home.
Qiao Qingtai lives in a lakeside villa. The surrounding landscape resources are closely linked, and the scenery of the lakes and mountains are mutually attractive. It has to be said that this is a good place for self-cultivation.
Chu Chen got off the car at the door of the villa, and saw Qiao Qingtai standing at the door to welcome him. After the two sides exchanged greetings, Qiao Qingtai invited Chu Chen into the house, first asked them to go to their rooms to pack their luggage, and then invited everyone to the living room.
Waiting for the maid's aunt to give chuchen tea, Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "I've always wanted to invite you to come here. 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 that you live in such a good place, otherwise I would have come to disturb you."
"Well, you can bury me as hard as you can." Qiao Qingtai chuchen with a smile, said: "I have not been to your home, whether yuhuating or Siheyuan, which is much bigger than me?"
Chuchen smiles and shakes his head: "you can't say that. If you don't say anything else, how can I have such a beautiful lake on your side?"
Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "well, don't compliment me. When we solve this problem, I'll take you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jiangcheng."
"Yes Chuchen agreed, and then asked, "Mr. Qiao, where is the thing now?"
Qiao Qingtai replied, "let old man Qin see it. He will take it later."
Chu Chen asked again, "Mr. Qiao, who do you think this is?"
Qiao Qingtai said: "his name is Qin Jin. Like you, he is mainly engaged in porcelain, but his character is not so good. Just ignore him."
"Oh." Chu Chen nodded.
As soon as Cao Qingcao and Qiao Jintai arrived at the door of the case, they said.
The servant took a group of six people to the living room, and Qiao Qingtai introduced them. Qin Jin was an old man with half long hair and artistic temperament.
Qin Jin looked around and said with a smile, "old man Qiao, you can enjoy it. You live in such a good place."
Qiao Qingtai sneered: "it seems that you live in a worse place than me."
"I bought it with my own money. How about you?" Qin Jin said with disdain.
