I messed up the Siheyuan

The second man took the key and opened the first room on the east side.

This room has not been opened for a long time.

The moment the door was opened, clouds of dust immediately rose up.

The second man covered his nose and stayed for a long time. When the dust settled a little, he pointed to the dozens of brown-red wooden boxes of various sizes piled up in the room and began to introduce them.

"Pingzi, there are fifty-three boxes in this room, all filled with porcelain!"

"Starting from the door, the further inside, the older it is."

"These three boxes at the door contain twelve pieces of porcelain from the Guangxu period."

"The four boxes at the innermost contain 17 pieces of porcelain from before the Song Dynasty."

"The most precious of them is a Tang Dynasty sancai terracotta figurine of a general reining in his horse."

Then, he stood at the door and began to introduce some basic knowledge about identifying porcelain.

Even though it was just some rough knowledge, he stood there and talked for more than an hour.

This old dude who can't carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands is very good at this.

Every word he said was meaningful and went straight to the point!

Therefore, although only more than an hour had passed, when the two stopped, Wang Ping discovered that he had actually gained a rough understanding of porcelain identification.

Afterwards, the two raised several questions, and Wang Ping not only answered them fluently, but also expanded on the questions and expressed some of his own opinions.

This surprised the second man, but also seemed to make him even more excited.

"Pingzi, you are such a good boy that you can never forget what you have heard!" The second man said in a hoarse voice, "In the past, if the masters of the antique shops in Ciqikou had met you,

They will fight tooth and nail to take you as their apprentice.

Hi! ...I didn't expect that! ...

I am a half-baked person who has been eating, drinking and having fun all my life. Now that I am old and have dirt up to my neck, I can still 'get good talents and teach them'!

Hahaha...

God has been kind to me, 'that guy', and he has not been unkind to me!"

Then he pointed to a small box at the door and said to Wang Ping, "Come here, Pingzi.

Please move this box to the main room, and I'll make a pot of tea.

We two are drinking tea... hehe... while appreciating these things. "

......

There were two people, one was teaching with great enthusiasm, and the other was learning attentively. Even for lunch, they just had two bites.

It was not until it was getting dark that the two of them stopped, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

In just one day, with the guidance and assistance of the second man, Wang Ping was able to play with more than half of the porcelain in that room.

That is to say...

If he comes back tomorrow, Wang Ping will be able to go through all the three or four hundred pieces of porcelain from various dynasties in the two families' collections.

This is not just a cursory tour, a simple look or a simple touch.

After each piece of porcelain was handed over, Na Er would give a detailed introduction to its background and origin.

He even explained to Wang Ping in an easy-to-understand manner some methods of identifying and making counterfeits.

Moreover, there were several extremely valuable porcelains. While the two families collected the authentic ones, they also collected one or two fakes that were almost indistinguishable from the real ones.

Comparing the real thing with the fake, and listening to the explanation of the second person, although only one day had passed, Wang Ping's level of identifying porcelain could be considered entry-level.

......

When Wang Ping stepped into the compound of No. 95, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The back house on the west side of the gate, which is Liu Guangtian's house, had its doors and windows open, emitting damp air outside.

Liu Guangtian, on the other hand, sat at the door of his house with a bitter look on his face.

What surprised Wang Ping was that the doors and windows of the back house on the east side of the gate, that is, on the side of Yan Fugui's house, were also open.

this...

Wang Ping walked up to Liu Guangtian, pointed to the back house on the east side, and asked, "Guangtian, what's going on? Why are the doors and windows of this room open?"

Liu Guangtian stood up and replied with a bitter face: "Brother Ping, the house was occupied by the third uncle.

It was said that it was to be used as a wedding house for Brother Jie Cheng.

Well...the doors and windows are open tonight to let the moisture out, and I'll ask someone to come and clean it up tomorrow.

In the afternoon, the third uncle came to my room and walked around.

It is said that this back room should be arranged like my room. "

"Hiss!" Wang Ping took a breath and asked in surprise, "Guangtian, is Brother Jie Cheng's marriage really going to happen?"

"It's done!" Liu Guangtian nodded weakly, "Third Uncle's family went to propose marriage yesterday.

After proposing the marriage, the third uncle went to the street office today and applied for this back house."

After saying this, he sighed heavily.

"In broad daylight!..." Wang Ping laughed and teased, "Brother Jie Cheng is getting married, why are you sighing?

What, are you jealous?"

"Why am I jealous?" Liu Guangtian said with a wry smile, "That's right, the Third Uncle told me today...

Now, they also have a house next to the gate, so..."

Before Liu Guangtian finished speaking, Wang Ping came to his senses.

He asked in surprise, "In broad daylight, the Third Master won't let me open and close the gate in the courtyard?"

"Yes!..." Liu Guangtian nodded.

"That's enough, Guang Tian!" Wang Ping consoled him, "If we can't get this job, then we can just let it go!

Nothing spectacular.

After a while, when I have established myself in the steel mill, I will think of a way...

I'll get you and Erkui some temporary jobs at the steel mill."

"Brother Ping, are you telling the truth?"

Liu Guangtian's eyes lit up, and all his previous frustration disappeared.

"How could I lie to you about this?" Wang Ping replied with a smile, and then asked, "Did you and Guangfu have dinner?"

"Eat it, Brother Ping!" Liu Guangtian replied, "I'll put your portion in the kitchen for you."

"Okay! Then I have to eat a bite quickly."

"I'm exhausted and hungry today!"

After saying that, he pushed his bicycle and walked towards his house.

......

After Wang Ping finished his meal and cleared away the dishes, he used the drinking cup at home to make himself a cup of tea.

The tea is the Pu'er tea that the second guest gave.

However, after Wang Ping took a few sips, he smacked his lips and felt that the taste was different from what he had at the other two restaurants.

The tea is the same tea, but when you take it back and drink it, the taste changes...

That's the problem with the tea set.

Na Er said that the tea set he is using now is from the official kiln during the Qianlong period.

It is said...that it was a reward from the palace to his grandfather's generation.

When Wang Ping was listening to his introduction, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, "What a rich man!"

That set of tea set was for someone else's legitimate use, so Wang Ping naturally couldn't take it away from someone else.

However, this afternoon, Na Er also introduced a small purple clay teapot that was only the size of a palm.

It is said to be the masterpiece of Yang Pengnian, a master of purple clay teapots during the Daoguang period.

Moreover, since this pot was made, it was bought by the two families and kept in the warehouse, and no one has ever used it.

Wang Ping decided to bring another two pounds of meat tomorrow to exchange for this pot and see...

What would it taste like to brew tea with this purple clay teapot?
