Happy Tycoon

After walking out of Mr. Zhu's house, Yang Jing was in a very happy mood, because not only did he buy ten sets of purple sand pots from Mr. Zhu, but the old man also enthusiastically led Yang Jing around and helped Yang Jing buy more. purple clay pot.

Although buying ten sets of purple sand pots from the old man has already made this trip worthwhile, but Yang Jing really didn't expect that old man Zhu was so enthusiastic and wanted to lead him around

But after thinking about it, I feel relieved. This must be because the old man felt that he had taken advantage of selling these ten sets of purple clay pots for 3,000 yuan, and when he expressed his intention to buy some high-quality purple clay pots, the old man held them. Those purple clay teapots he bought can’t be sold out, but people he knows still have many high-quality purple clay teapots in their hands, so in order to make up for himself, the old man decided to lead himself around.

However, the old man's legs and feet are not very good. If he walks around, even if he just wanders around this Gunan Street, the old man will probably be tired after walking around.

But it doesn't matter, the old man has brought his own travel artifact for the elderly in this era-a tricycle!

This tricycle was given to me by the cooperative in the 1960s. At that time, I used this tricycle to pull things. Now that I am old, I can't pull things anymore. I can only ride out by myself, which is safe.

Yang Jing was also happy. Knowing the life experience of Master Zhu, Yang Jing naturally understood what the old man said about the cooperative. This cooperative should be the Shushan Ceramic Production Cooperative at that time, which was the predecessor of the later Yixing Zisha Craft Factory. It was established by the old man in front of me, Master Gu Jingzhou, Master Ren Ganting and others in response to the call of the country in 1954 and organized Zisha artists in their hometown.

To put it bluntly, this tricycle has a history of almost 30 years, but this car is well maintained. Except for some peeling paint, other parts, especially the key parts, are shiny and shiny.

Yang Jing knew how to ride a tricycle, went up and tried it out, and it was very easy to ride, so he said with a smile: Old man, get on the car, little Yangzi is waiting for you!

Haha, you kid. The old man was also amused, Don't rush away, don't you plan to take those pots?

Yang Jing waved his hand and said, Let's put it here first. If I can buy other pots later, I'll bring them to you and I'll find a car to transport them away.

The old man thought for a while, nodded, and sat on the back of the tricycle, Yang Jing yelled: You sit down, let's go!

The old lady Zhuang, the wife of Master Zhu, looked at them with a smile and waved.

At this time, the sky was already bright, the temperature was gradually rising, and there were more people on the street. After Yang Jing and the old man rode for a short distance, no less than twenty people greeted the old man cordially.

However, the summer in the south of the Yangtze River was not so pleasant, and the hot weather quickly made Yang Jing's clothes wet.

Xiao Yang, you are not used to the weather here, are you? The old man sat in the back of the car, so he could clearly see Yang Jing's sweat-soaked clothes, so he asked.

Well, the weather here is much hotter than in the UK. I'm a newcomer, and it's really uncomfortable. But it's okay, I'm young, and I can't be bothered by the hot flashes.

Hehe, physical strength is good for young people. By the way, Xiao Yang, how old are you this year?

Twenty-six years old, my birthday just passed in May.

Oh, I really envy young people of your age. When I was your age, I was already a father of two children. At that time, I had just been an apprentice for six years, and I was busy working every day. I never felt that Tired. Now it's not enough, if you move a little bit, your physical strength won't be able to keep up.

Haha, old man, you can't say that, I think you are still strong and healthy. By the way, where is our first family going?

Well, let's go to Mr. Yunqing's house first.

Mr. Yun Qing? Yang Jing turned his head a little strangely, the name was a little strange to him.

Oh, it's Pei Shimin. His original name is Pei Yunqing, and Shi Min is his stage name, just like my stage name is Kexin.

When the old man said this, Yang Jing knew that the Mr. Yun Qing that the old man was talking about was actually the same as the old man, Master Pei Shimin in the Seven Old Masters of Zisha.

Although the Seven Zisha Old Men were all gathered together because they responded to the call of the country and established the Shushan Ceramic Production Cooperative in Shushan, but not all the Seven Zisha Old Men are locals from Dingshu Town.

Among the Seven Elders of Mount Shu, Master Gu Jingzhou, Master Zhu Kexin, Master Pei Shimin, and Master Jiang Rong are from Dingshu Town. Although the other Master Ren Ganting is from Yixing, they are not from Dingshu Town, and Master Wu Yungen is from the north of Yixing. Heqiao Town, and Dingshu Town face each other across the city of Yixing from the north to the south. As for Master Wang Yinchun, he is from Zhenjiang, far away from Yixing.

Yang Jing knew all these materials, so he asked a little strangely: Old man, hasn't this Master Pei passed away? What are we going to do at his house?

Master Pei Shimin passed away as early as 1976. In fact, by 1982, only Master Gu Jingzhou, Master Jiang Rong and the old man in front of us were still building the Zisha Seven Old Masters, and the other four masters had passed away.

Don't you kid want a high-quality purple clay pot? Although Lao Pei has passed away for several years, there are still a few pots he made in his family that are quite good. I will take you there to have a look. If Lao Pei's child is willing I’ll sell it to you, won’t it be enough if you buy it? Well, slow down, turn right in the alley ahead.”

Under the guidance of Mr. Zhu, Yang Jing arrived at the former residence of Master Pei Shimin on a tricycle. Master Pei's house is similar to the house that Mr. Zhu lives in now, both of which are two-story brick and wood buildings. According to Mr. Zhu, it is now the eldest son of Master Pei who lives here.

The arrival of Mr. Zhu surprised Master Pei's eldest son, but the friendship between the two families was very good, so when Mr. Zhu explained his intentions and expressed that Yang Jing was willing to buy purple clay pots at a price of 300 yuan each, Master Pei The eldest son happily took out seven purple clay pots.

These are all pots left by my father after he left. They were all made by my father himself. I can guarantee this. Master Pei's eldest son said firmly.

These seven pots are all single pots, there is no complete set, but these pots all make Yang Jing's eyes shine.

The styles of these seven pots are very simple, obviously Master Pei's imitation of the works of his predecessors. But it is precisely for this reason that these seven pots are so precious.

You must know that Master Pei's nickname is Mingyuan No. 2, and he has always been known for imitating the works of Chen Mingyuan, the master of Zisha in the Qing Dynasty. The purple sand teapots of Chen Mingyuan and other ancestors he imitated, no matter the shape or the charm in them, are enough to confuse the real ones. Especially the Tianji Pot made by Chen Mingyuan, which Master Pei imitated after he arrived in Shanghai, is known as the twin brother of Chen Mingyuan's Tianji Pot.

The pot is indeed home-made, with both form and spirit, even if it is put together with Master Chen Mingyuan's Tianji pot, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.

Later, Master Pei imitated a series of ancient works such as Dragon and Phoenix Pot, Golden Toad Water Pot, Snail Water Pot, and Gourd Water Pot, which made Master Pei's reputation soar.

Master Pei is famous for imitating ancient works. Several of his pots in later generations sold for millions of yuan, all of which are imitated ancient works.

And the seven single pots in front of me are all imitated ancient works. For Yang Jing, there is nothing better than this
