Happy Tycoon

Not surprisingly, Master Zhu was really taken aback by the price offered by Yang Jing. Of course, the old man also flatly rejected the price offered by Yang Jing. Although the old man knew that it was Yang Jing's kindness, the old man was still very happy. He simply refused.

No, the price you gave is too high. I can't sell it to you at this price. My pot is not worth so much money. Xiao Yang, don't bother me. If you insist on buying at this price, you can't Don't blame the old man, I broke my promise not to sell it to you. The good days have just passed a few years, and my old man doesn't want to make mistakes because of this.

As soon as the old man said this, Yang Jing realized that his thinking was not thorough enough. He seemed to have forgotten how great the impact of the chaotic ten years was on these elderly masters. In 1982, people, especially In fact, the thinking of the elderly people who are getting older has not completely changed their minds. Deep down in their hearts, they still have great fear of that buzzing era, for fear that the wind will change and they will be knocked down again.

The price of 3,000 yuan for a jug offered by Yang Jing, let alone 30 years later, will be very low even in 10 years. But in this era, the price of 3,000 yuan for a pot The price is undoubtedly poison, and whoever eats it will die.

Seeing Yang Jing's tangled face, the old man said happily: Xiao Yang, old man, I thank you for being so respectful of my craftsmanship, but the price you gave is too high, my old man really dare not accept it. Ah. How about this, since you want to buy my pots, I won’t be pretentious anymore, don’t I have ten pots here? If you want, you can take all three thousand yuan!”

Afterwards, the old man seemed to feel that the price he offered was a bit high, he hesitated for a while and explained: Xiao Yang, in fact, it's the 3,000 yuan for me to take, and I don't feel at ease. How about it, I It is up to you to change two sets of pots for you, one with five heads and the other with ten heads, what do you think?

Yang Jing shook his head slightly, knowing that even if he wanted to be a good person today, he would not be able to do so, but he is not a moji person, since the old man said so, he readily agreed.

Seeing that Yang Jing agreed, the old man showed a smile on his wrinkled face, Come on, Xiao Yang, I will find you pots that can be sold. Sigh, most of these pots are made by me little by little over the years. I’m really reluctant to sell all the saved things to you all at once. But my old man has not lived for a few years. If these things follow me, they will be buried in the soil with me in the end. You like these so much Pots, these pots can have a good master if you follow them.

Well, I remember this set of five-headed Yuansanyou pots was made in 1953, almost thirty years ago.

This Yunlong pot was made by me in 1967. I remember that an old friend wanted a Yunlong pot. I made it for him, but he was knocked down by a group of red ghosts. Everyone is gone, and the pot was not sent out, so it just stayed.

This golden bell pot was made by me in 1966.

Well, I made this bowl of plum pot in the summer of 1970. I remember it very clearly. There was a heavy rain in that summer, and the water from the Li River next door almost rushed to the embankment.

While muttering, the old man slowly took down eight purple clay pots, two teacups and two cup holders from the four wooden shelves, his expression full of memories and reluctance.

It can be seen that the old man really has a lot of affection for these pots. These pots are like his children, and he made them bit by bit. Now that they belong to others, the old man is naturally a little uncomfortable.

Yang Jing looked at it and thought about it. For an old man, the value of these pots made when he was young or in his prime is put aside first, and all the pots are entrusted with the memories of the old man's life.

Well, when I made these two pots, I felt a little dissatisfied. Forget it, I won't give it to you. I will use these two pots to exchange two sets of pots for you. Well, this is not bad. This is my The five-headed Yunlong pot I made in 1955, and this is a set of ten-headed squirrel grape pots I made in 1963, Xiao Yang, these are all given to you, what do you think?

Yang Jing snorted for a moment, the hesitation on his face disappeared, and he said: Master Zhu, how about I don't want this pot? I think if I buy these pots, it's like gouging out your My heart, why do I have a deep sense of guilt?

Hahahaha. The old man laughed loudly, and while wiping his hands with a cloth, he said, You little guy is so funny. Xiao Yang, I know what you think, but you don't have to worry about this Gouging out my heart. These pots were all made in my early years. Although I have placed a lot of memories on me, I am not at that level. , don’t be surprised. Xiao Yang, I’ve sold all these pots to you. We agreed on three thousand yuan, and you can’t lose mine.”

The old man winked his eyes mischievously as he spoke, amused Yang Jing just like the old naughty boy.

Yang Jing leaned over and carefully looked at these exquisitely crafted purple clay pots.

It has to be said that a master is a master, even though the style is similar to those of the purple clay teapots seen in later generations, but the charm in it is far incomparable to those purple clay teapots of later generations.

If these purple clay teapots are compared to beauties, then those teapots in later generations can be regarded as Internet celebrities at most, and these teapots made by the old man are peerless beauties of the level of Xi Shi and Diao Chan.

Although they all have two eyes, one nose, one mouth and two ears, the pots of the old man are placed here, so that people can feel the kind of beauty that only looks like a peerless beauty. Peerless style!

What is a guru? This is the master! The undisputed master!

To paraphrase a modern Internet term, the master's works are so amazing!

Yang Jing was very satisfied with the few pots given by the old man, not to mention the Yunlong pot, it was the old man's famous stunt. When others were still playing with the Fish Transforming Dragon Pot, the old man had already made the Yunlong Pot.

As for the Yuansanyou pot, also known as the Yuansongzhumeihu pot, it is also the original design of this master.

The purple clay teapot with bamboo joints made by master Zhu Kexin is second to none in the whole circle, and no one can match it. He comprehended the layout of paintings from the ancient painting manual Gaosong Bamboo Book, realized the beauty of bamboo sculpture from the discussion of calligraphers and painters, tasted the best structure from the production of purple sand pottery flower goods, and applied the technique of sticking clay. The bamboo joint pots made by his old man come in many forms and are infinitely varied.

The Yuansanyou teapot in front of me has a bamboo joint in the middle of the body, which is stable and generous; the spout is in the shape of a Zigzag with three bends, and the forehead is flat and respectful. This spout shape is a unique style of the mouth shape in the early Republic of China. Next to the spout of the pot, there is a branch of fresh bamboo floating, bright and clear, curved from bottom to top, strong and powerful; the cover is embedded with a micro dome, plump and delicate, molded into a branch of young bamboo, and decorated with bamboo leaves on both sides, well-proportioned and graceful. rhyme. The whole pot is made of bamboo, with different angles, quite dynamic.

Yang Jing knew very well that the original stamp of Wandao Zisha Famous Pot was based on this shape of pot!

And the most important thing is that this pot is not a single pot, but a five-head set! It wasn't one of the two sets of pots that the old man said was exchanged for Yang Jing alone, but the old man agreed to sell it to Yang Jing from the very beginning.

The so-called five-head set consists of five pieces. That is, one pot, two cups, and two trays, a total of five pieces.

If this five-headed set is put up for auction in later generations, five million is just the starting price!

Among the two sets of teapots that the old man gave to Yang Jing, one of them had five heads, and that was a set of Yunlong teapot with five heads. Its workmanship and value were definitely not inferior to the Yuansanyou pot. Counting the single pot of Yunlong pot before, Yang Jing can buy Master Zhu two Yunlong pots in one go!

As for the ten-headed squirrel grape pot that the old man replaced, it was even more valuable.

The purple clay teapot works of the masters naturally have more heads and higher value, just like the most valuable set of teapots auctioned in later generations of purple sand teapots is a set of ten-headed squirrel grape teapots made by Master Gu Jingzhou. A high price of 92 million was sold.

In later generations, I have never heard of the ten-headed squirrel grape pot made by Master Zhu being auctioned, but this does not mean that Master Zhu's works are worthless. Just like the set of squirrel grape pots in front of me, with such exquisite workmanship, its value may not be comparable to that of Master Gu Jingzhou's works, but it definitely starts at eight figures!

This ten-headed squirrel grape pot is the flower product in the purple sand pot. The so-called Huahuo is a teapot that uses relief, semi-relief and other techniques to design objects that exist in nature into bionic images. This kind of teapot is called Huahuo in the industry.

This kind of purple sand squirrel grape pot is based on the theme of grape branches, squirrels and tree stumps in nature, and integrates them into purple sand art.

The pot body adopts the classic tree stump shape, and the thick pot body gives people a sense of solidity; on the side shaped like a tree stump, another section of slender branch is twisted into a twisted shape as the handle; the spout and the knob The shape of the pot is also cut from a small branch, or slowly bent into a spout, or naturally lying horizontally to support the pot button.

The grape leaves on the lid of the pot echo the grape leaves close to the body of the pot, and the cute squirrels look around from a high place, thus showing the natural taste of the whole pot, which is lifelike and full of vitality.

Under the exquisite craftsmanship of Master Zhu, this pot is full of elegance and generosity, and is very natural and interesting. It is definitely a rare masterpiece of Master Zhu!

There is also a tea mug in this set that is smaller than a teapot but larger than a teacup. The shape of the tea mug is similar to that of a teapot, except that the tea mug has two handles.

This pot and the tea mug, together with four elegant and elegant teacups and four saucers, constitute this set of ten squirrel grape pots.
