Chapter 107: Ancient Pottery

Yue Sheng's location is not known how far away from Daliang, and the regional customs are extremely profound, almost all of which Lin Qichen has never seen. Even Shuangyang is also the first time to visit here. Everyone is very fresh, and they meet to visit Jiacheng together the next day.

Lin Chenlu's wife is from the Xia family, and she is also from the Xia family, but her mother's family has long been out of the family, so she has no relatives in the ancestral house of Shangdu. This is also the reason why Lin Qichen did not try to find the fourth aunt's relatives when he arrived at Xia's house.

Xia found Lin Qichen early the next morning and instructed: "You want to go out to play, the fourth aunt will not let you spoil your fun." It's just that Jiacheng must be very different from Shangdu, and the fourth aunt will give you two little stewards to be errand runners. Not only can they help with some small things, but they are also the place where the local people know, and they know that there are any strange or taboos along the way, and they can just lead the way.

Our house is also well-known locally. Most people in Jiacheng know that you just have to play well, but you must remember to go home on time, and you can't go home at night!

Lin Qichen made two gestures to the fourth aunt and agreed in every possible way. Xia looked at this nephew, and couldn't do it for a while, so he had to order the four people he brought to take good care of him and not make a mistake.

When Lin Qichen led more than a dozen people out of the house, the Xia family called more than ten powerful guards, which were attached to the back.

When the fourth old man Lin Chenlu couldn't find Lin Qichen at the dinner table, he asked his wife, "Where is Xiaoliu?"

The Xia clan said where Lin Qichen went.

A few small children also ate and smiled, they all got the benefits of Lin Qichen, and they counted all night last night, and they were silent at this time.

Lin Chenlu looked left and right, knowing that they had been bought, he snorted angrily and rinsed his mouth, and scolded: "You third uncle came to the letter early, asking me to restrain Xiaoliu and not cause trouble everywhere! In the future, you will also pay attention to it, they are all cousins, and there are some things to stop, you know?"

"Yes!

The children responded hastily, and Lin Chenlu saw that they were insincere, flicked his sleeves depressedly, and went to the study.

Seeing that her husband was far away, Xia Shi waved his chopsticks and whispered to everyone: "Just listen to this." How can there be any reason to come to our house and not walk around! Your father is making too much fuss. ”

"Isn't it......"

*——*——*——*

As soon as Lin Qichen took people to the street, he was dyed by the unique local customs, and even Chang'an praised, "Jiacheng is really good." ”

More than a dozen people were immediately seen by the various shops next to them, and many small servants and apprentices were instructed to send a few fruits, dates, and mountain delicacies with a bright smile to show their welcome. I didn't have the idea of killing a vote when I met a foreigner.

There are also many little girls who come forward to send flowers to different private guards, directly expressing their admiration. Such a bold and lively temperament opened everyone's eyes and made them feel good. The guards all swept a lot of goods into the storage bags.

Yue Sheng's handicraft industry was not developed, and porcelain had to be transported from other countries. However, there is a well-known industry in the local area: pottery, which has the most ancient flavor, still blooms its most unique fragrance in Jiacheng, and has the most vigorous vitality and recognition.

Yue Sheng's family pottery, Jiacheng is the gathering place of Yue Sheng's highest pottery achievements.

Lin Qichen looked at the streets and alleys, permeated with primitive, unrestrained and life-like pottery, and couldn't help but be fascinated. He decided to search for a few pottery items from here and bring them back to Zhong Muye. He wanted to find something he liked. It's a different world, a different color!

They happily wandered in Jiacheng. On the third day, everyone was dressed in Yue Shengguo's costumes, or regardless of skin color and language, they had become locals at all.

Lin Qichen also got to know a lot of locals. No one here knows anything about the Grand Prince. They are just the most ordinary people, and they are accepted with kindness and treated each other kindly.

"Young Master Chen, what are you looking at today?" An old man in his seventies poked his head out of the shop on the street and greeted Lin Qichen from a distance.

Shuangyang replied loudly: "Ha! Uncle Donu, your old man has been peddling a lot to our young master these days! What, do you want to sell the shop this time?"

"Cut! Yoko don't be so sarcastic about the old man. It's just that today, I really have a few good things here, can't I come and have a look? It's not good, I won't let you spend money!"

"Really?"

Lin Qichen came out these days, and the pottery he bought was all extremely skilled, and many of the pottery products were even more ingenious than porcelain! What is rare is that the goods are genuine, and the seller never deceives them. There is one to say one, and there is two to say two!

This style of doing business has benefited them a lot. Many of them have long lost their "honesty" for many years, but now they have picked it up again, and in a sincere crowd, their hearts and conditions seem to have been cleansed to a more noble and clear state.

Everyone walked towards Uncle Donu's shop together.

Su Yong said to Gui Mingling: "Yue Sheng's place is so good, no wonder the fourth master will settle here." I want to stay here too. ”

"It's not just you, you look at the young master, I want to live here. ”

The two looked at Lin Qichen. Lin Qichen had already stepped forward and hugged Uncle Donu, and the old man hugged him back forcefully, pulling Lin Qichen to the back. forest

Qichen has such a sincere smile, they are rare in it. The two hurriedly stepped forward to follow up.

Uncle Donu's shop is not big, and he can only follow up with two or three people in the back. In addition to the two of them, Changsheng also followed.

*——*——*——*

In the back of Uncle Donu's shop, Lin Qichen knew that there was a jade cabinet more than five feet high, which was the place to store the best pottery. Uncle Donu slept on the kang next to him and guarded it all year round.

Two of the six pieces of pottery selected for Zhong Muye were ancient pottery selected from this jade cabinet.

Ancient pottery is an ancient thing with great age and connotation. Even on it, Lin Qichen found a trace of an extremely special aura.

He knew that Zhong Muye would be satisfied. These days, I'm just focusing on getting some for myself so I can take it home.

There are three layers in the cabinet, and you can see the pottery in various colors at a glance. Donu took out three pieces from the bottom layer and carefully placed them on the table.

"Ancient pottery!" Lin Qichen suddenly came to his senses.

He hasn't been in Jiacheng for nothing these days. Ancient pottery is pottery that has been handed down from ancient times. Each of them, as long as they are crowned with these two words, represents immeasurable value.

The ancient pottery shape is simple, atmospheric, and rarely has complicated patterns. And every breath is different.

Donu laughed, "Young Master Chen has only been here for a few days, and he has such a powerful eyesight. Just stay and open a shop, show people the goods, it will be prosperous!"

Lin Qichen's heart moved, something interesting!

"If Uncle can help him find a shop, the boy really wants to buy one. It's not about trading, it's just about having a place to stay when you come!"

"It's decided?" said Old Donu.

"It's settled! ”

If outsiders want to buy shops and houses in Jiacheng, they must have a local person as a guarantee, otherwise they will not be able to buy a place at all. From the moment Donu came into contact with Lin Qichen, he knew that this was a son of a big family, and there was no shortage of money, and he said that if he wanted to buy it, it must be reliable. He was also glad to earn some money to spend on it. It is important to know that the middleman can take a tenth of the value of the property.

Lin Qichen took a pottery cup handed over by Old Donu.

This is a piece of faience, the color is iron red, painted with dark brown fish patterns, the embryo body is very thin, the color is bright and bright, and the production is extremely fine at that time. But from all sides, it's a little more ordinary.

Lin Qichen turned the mouth of the cup upside down, looked inward, and the cup was actually densely covered with a ring as wide as a leek leaf and snow-white as salt.

He gasped!

"That's not difficult, there is a 'snow pottery' two streets away, and I am worried that it will not be sold. Qingbu had just died, and the remaining little grandson, who was only twelve years old, could not operate. His wife wanted to sell the shop and go back to the mountains. But the snow is not small, although there are a lot of shops in front of it, but those who have the strength don't want to eat, and those who want to eat don't have the strength, so I'm in a dilemma!"

Lin Qichen returned the pottery cup to Lao Donu, and he took another pottery urn with two bowls of flat size.

This is a piece of black pottery, three-inch round mouth, no pattern, no inlay, inside and outside just a "black" word. However, the characteristics of black, thin, light and fine have been brought into full play, and the production level can be called the pinnacle. The craftsmanship is more high-end than the previous faience cup.

"Then please Uncle Donu! The younger generation of Jiacheng doesn't want to leave when he comes, it's really good for the landscape!" he carefully handed the black urn back to Old Donu.

Old Donu put down the black urn and picked up the last one.

At first glance, it looks like a long off-white pottery cake, very thick, about three inches thick. This is obviously contrary to the essence of thinness, fineness and brightness pursued by pottery. Clusters of fruits and vines were carved out of the edges, and the place of the boss in the middle was idle. It was three feet two inches tall and one foot eight wide.

"It's like a mirror! It's like an inkstone!" Changsheng said unconsciously.

Not to mention, whether it is a pottery mirror or a pottery inkstone!

However, can the pottery mirror and pottery inkstone be used? Changsheng twisted a few times in front of it. Although the gray pottery is very bright, the image is also extremely blurry, and as a mirror, it is far less practical than a basin of water.

It's the inkstone, which is also too big, not to mention that the hardness is not enough at all. Changsheng couldn't figure it out, and in the end he could only be impatient to retreat.

Lin Qichen didn't dare to hold such a huge thing in his hands this time, so he could only hold it with Lao Donu and watch it carefully.

He took a serious look at this gray pottery, and found that the breath was mixed, and he didn't know how many years it had passed. It has a long history and can be said to be the highest of the three.

His eyes lit up, and a thin line that was almost indistinguishable was in the vine on the right, completely extending the direction of the vine and leaves, and it was even smaller than a hair!

He pointed with his finger, "Uncle Donu, when did this crack occur?"

Old Donu was shocked, he had to check the goods more than ten times repeatedly, this big thing, he had seen it was complete, and the purchase price was also based on the whole product. How can there be cracks?
