Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cylinder Cup was the wine cup used by the emperor.

Chenghua doucai was originally supplied exclusively to the imperial court and was rarely sold to the private sector.

The doucai chicken cup is the best among them. The purpose of firing it is to meet the wine tasting needs of the emperor's home.

As the saying goes, a child of destiny wants the best things.

The yield rate of Doucai Chicken Cups is extremely low. Even though a lot of manpower and material resources were spent on making them, if there is even the slightest flaw, they will be destroyed immediately.

Only a few flawless works were presented to the court.

At that time, everyone knew the value of the chicken vat cup, but the number spread among the people was extremely rare.

During the Qing Dynasty, there were many collectors in China.

There was a popular saying at the time

-

I would rather live in a kiln than live in wealth.

Porcelain from Chenghuaguan kiln in Ming Dynasty is as hard currency as gold.

"As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, no second in martial arts. But in today's competition, Lin Ran won, so I want to give this chicken cup to Lin Ran as a prize." Wen Ya said.

Lin Ran opened his mouth instantly.

Wen Ya is so generous.

In Lin Ran's memory, there are only [-] recorded chicken cups in the world.

Fifteen of them are collected by museums around the world, and only three are collected by China.

But Lin Ran didn't see it in any museum he went to during this period, which shows that it has not been donated to a museum yet.

The rest, like the Jade Pig Dragon, were snatched away by the invaders and placed in their museums as trophies.

Not to mention the research value, in Lin Ran's memory, a chicken vat cup was once auctioned in Hong Kong City.

The price sold for 8000 million Huaxia coins made headlines in major newspapers at the time.

The businessman who took the photo of the chicken bowl cup then seemed to disappear.

Others immediately felt dissatisfied.

Ming Cheng Hua Dou Cai, or chicken pot cup.

This is an antique that many collectors are willing to spend their money to get.

They were convinced by Lin Ran just now. They felt that not only was he good at appraising treasures, his collections were priceless, but he also had a broad mind.

However, once interests are involved, things are different.

Chang Zheng took the lead and said, "Boss Wen, this seems unfair."

"What's unfair?" Wen Ya asked.

"Some words were difficult to say just now, but Brother Lin has already given the words to the museum, which means they cannot be regarded as his collection."

“Since this is a prize from the tasting, of course it should be compared with the collection from the tasting.”

Chang Zheng is a person who is very good at stirring up the atmosphere, and others instantly cast admiring glances at him.

If it were them, they wouldn't speak out if they were unhappy, just for fear of offending others.

Once someone takes the lead, they will take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Wen Ya also frowned, feeling that Chang Zheng was just making excuses.

Tang Lanxuan immediately explained: "We haven't formally completed the handover procedures with the museum yet. It is still Lin Ran's work."

It's a pity that they were too pushy today and have become the target of public criticism.

Especially Zhou Xuelin and Jin Xi.

When they saw the chicken cup, their eyes were full of greed.

Ke Yu knew very well that the reason they came today was for this chicken cup.

As a person who is not interested in collecting, Ke Yu cannot understand why everyone is flocking to this chicken bowl cup.

In fact, the real value of the chicken cup does not lie in its historical background. Maybe Lin Ran and Tang Lanxuan will care about it, but in the eyes of other collectors, it does not matter.

The real purpose of them wanting machine-steel cups is to improve their status in the collecting community.

On the surface, collecting is a very elegant hobby, but in fact, it is still very popular in the collecting circle.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. In fact, there are three levels of collecting in the world of collecting.

The most high-end collections owned by most of the collectors present are nothing more than calligraphy and paintings from the Qing Dynasty.

To be honest, most people can’t even reach the threshold of collecting.

However, they took a fancy to the investment value of the collection and tried their best to get a priceless cultural relic.

Just like the treasure of the store, you don’t have to sell it, but you must have it.

Mingcheng Hua Doucai is the best way to increase one's worth.

The previous doucai pastel bowls were already stunning, but they were food vessels after all.

In the palace, everyone has to eat.

But not everyone is qualified to drink.

The production volume of pastel bowls is also relatively large, and there are a large number of them circulating on the market. They can only be described as expensive, but they are definitely not as rare as rare treasures.

But the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup is different. There are less than 20 pieces in the world. If you get it, you will instantly rise to the level of a high-level collector. Then you can make friends with higher-level collectors, and it will be more convenient. They changed hands of antiques.

As the saying goes, an investment brings lifelong benefits.

They would have to fight tooth and nail to get this chicken cup.

Some people may find it strange that the total number of chicken pot cups is less than the size of a palm. With the furnaces of the official kilns at that time, at least more than 1 pieces could be made at one time, but the surviving ones are extremely rare.

In fact, it is because the requirements for chicken jar cups are completely different from other porcelains, and a maximum of twenty pieces can be fired at one time.

And not all 20 were left, at most five were left, and the rest were smashed.

After all, this thing symbolizes status, and ordinary people are absolutely not allowed to take it.

There are only 15 such precious chicken bowl cups in records.

Moreover, many experts at the time believed that some of the chicken jar cups should have been imitated in the late Ming Dynasty or early Qing Dynasty and were not genuine Ming Cheng Hua doucai.

Lin Ran did not participate in their verbal battle, but recalled this past event in his mind.

What a nostalgic time.

Wen Ya has a good temper and keeps watching from the side.

The venue of the tasting was as lively as a vegetable market. As the target of the accusation, Lin Ran didn't say a word, watching them argue with each other like an outsider.

Lin Ran is different from these collectors. He collects just for his own hobby.

Moreover, his collection was definitely no less than twenty pieces more expensive than the Dou Cai Cup. If he took it, he would definitely give it to Tang Lanxuan, so he had no idea of ​​participating.

The venue was already noisy, especially Jin Xi, who pointed at Chang Zheng's nose and said, "You are the only one who is still a treasure-crazy, and you don't even look at what you brought?"

At this time, Zhou Xuelin's mind was spinning the fastest.

He stood up and pressed down with his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.

However, everyone was already red-faced and he could no longer hold back his dignity.

So he could only shout loudly: "Boss Wen, as far as I know, chicken pot cups are not easy to get. Are your chicken pot cups authentic?"
