Chapter 279

chapter 285

Curium porcelain, also known as curium art porcelain, is a very special kind of porcelain.

In the past, because of the poverty of the family, the common people were reluctant to throw away the broken porcelain. Instead, they asked folk curium craftsmen to put it together with curium nails and continue to use it. This is the origin of curium porcelain.

As early as the Song Dynasty, curium porcelain had appeared, and there was a corresponding picture in the world-famous "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival".

By the time of the Ming and Qing dynasties, its application scenarios were not limited to folk, but rose to be enjoyed by dignitaries and dignitaries, becoming a mature handicraft art.

At the peak of curium porcelain craftsmanship, craftsmen would fill the porcelain with beans and water, deliberately crack it, and then use the broken porcelain pieces, combined with exquisite diamonds and various flower nails to make curium repairs.

Porcelain made with curium in this way is not only intact, but also has a unique beauty of nirvana and rebirth.

It's a pity that this handicraft has gradually declined with the development of society. Although there are still some precious curium porcelain in today's antique circle, most of them are famous works, and there is not much space for collection. Even many curium porcelain craftsmen are slowly losing their livelihood.

"I remember that during the Republic of China, until after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were still many folk curium craftsmen who had been passed down and opened some private handicraft halls called curium workshops,"

"In recent years, these curium workshops have declined one after another and there is no news, but there are still a few that have persisted. The father and daughter are probably the ones in this way,"

"There are also many large trucks that I saw just now. If they are the same as what they carry here, it would be interesting."

Ren Ping guessed right, the dozens of trucks in the open space where he was located were all filled with curium porcelain, and those people were not ordinary truck drivers, but heirs of curium art, which are rare nowadays.

These people come from all corners of the country to participate in a gathering that is a matter of life and death for the industry.

But there is one thing he guessed wrong, these curium art inheritors have no different schools, but belong to the same curium workshop: Sijiutang.

It was past noon, and the afternoon sun was shining obliquely on the open space. Even though it was winter, it was quite warm.

Everyone counted the number of people, confirmed that they were all present, and then sat in a circle around the center of the open space.

They seemed to be seated randomly, but in fact, there were dozens of people, men, women, old and young, and there were only eight piles.

These people have not met for many years, and many of them do not recognize each other. I will briefly introduce them one by one now.

Ren Ping listened through the cargo compartment door. It turned out that the father and daughter were named Hu. The father was called Hu Zixian, and his delicate hands were as delicate as a breeze. The daughter was called Hu Gang. At first glance, she sounded very powerful, like man's name.

The rest of the Qigu people also have the same surname, some have the surname Gao, some have the surname Xia, some have the surname Cai, some have the surname Tian, ​​and the three surnames are Fan, Ling, and Huo.

Ren Ping also listened to it for a long time, and when he accidentally heard the word Sijiutang, he suddenly remembered: In the early 60s, the most famous curium workshop in China was Sijiutang.

This curium workshop brought together nine well-known inheritors of curium art at that time, joined hands with each other, and developed together, which is somewhat similar to the nine masters of the Nanling Spring and Autumn League.

In addition to the eight families of Gao, Xia, Cai, Tian, ​​Fan, Hu, Ling, and Huo present here, there is another family whose surname is Ren, and is of the same clan as Ren Ping.

This Ren family's curium art has a special status in the nine families, and can be called the most important one. At the beginning, the Sijiu hall was also established under the head of it, but for some reason, it seems that it did not come today.

Ren Ping glanced back and forth, only to find that in the family of the eight surnames sitting in the circle, there is an empty place in the north alone, thinking that although the surname Ren did not come, everyone did not forget it, and specially made it for him. reserved a place.

At this stage of work, the eight surnames have passed the greetings, and gradually talk about the topic.

It turns out that Sijiutang had ceased to exist in name only more than ten years ago, and each family was scattered and developed, and they were all in a precarious situation.

The reason why they reunited after more than ten years was because they heard a news a month ago that someone was buying porcelain in the capital's antique circle. The quantity was large and the price was good, including curium porcelain.

Although the family of the eight surnames did not know where they were, when they heard the news, they naturally wanted to fight hard. diverted.

Later, I heard that if you want to sell something, you have to participate in a shopping fair. After discussing with each other, they agreed to bring the most exquisite curium porcelain from their respective sects and go to the capital together. This is the reunion today.

Right now, the Ren surname is not there, with the Gao surname as the leader, I saw a thin and small old man standing among a group of people on the northwest side of the venue, with an arrogant face, as if it was a matter of course.

After talking about some meaningless scenes, let everyone bring out their most precious things and appreciate each other.

The other seven surnames were all stunned when they heard this. They thought that they were all experts and had something to appreciate. They just did it because they couldn't refute his face.

Not long after, all the seven curium porcelains arrived, some with one piece, some with two or three pieces, some with four or five pieces, all of which were selected from the best and the best from the best.

Although it is not as complete as traditional porcelain, it is also interesting with metal decorations and colorful flower nails.

The old man surnamed Gao looked at it hastily, did not express any opinion, turned his head, and suddenly invited two young people from his own group of people, and apologized:

"Two of you, take a look, is there anyone passable?"

These two young people are a man and a woman, the man is no more than thirty, the woman is younger, about 20 years old, everyone thought they were his descendants with the surname Gao, but they were not, they couldn't help being surprised:
"Old Gao, what are you doing? Who are these two?"

"We have an internal assembly in Sijiutang, why did you bring outsiders in?"

"That's right, when a big event is imminent, what mystery are you selling?"

Seeing that everyone was a little dissatisfied, the old man surnamed Gao said: "Don't be surprised, these people didn't know the inside story beforehand."

As he said that, he turned to face the crowd, with a serious look on his face: "Stop arguing, these two are the managers of this shopping fair, and I specially invited them through my relationship, and you still don't want to say hello?"

The family of the seven surnames looked at each other in blank dismay. They thought that whether the purchase would be successful would only be known at the scene. Unexpectedly, the Gao family had cleared up the relationship and could go through the back door.

However, the two handlers were too small no matter how they looked at them, and they always felt that something was wrong.

After a brief greeting, everyone learned that the young man's surname was Ning, and he was the young master of a certain porcelain restaurant in the capital. The old man named Gao called him Master Ning, but he called the woman Miss Ping, who belonged to another large restaurant.

The backgrounds behind the two are different, they are just doing things for the shopping fair, and there are other people behind the buying party, not the two of them.

The more people listened, the more they shook their heads secretly, thinking that the so-called manager was almost equivalent to a second-hand dealer.

Who knows whether they sold the goods to buyers or digested them internally?How much is the purchase price, and who can tell?

The water is too deep, it's better to participate in the shopping fair in an upright manner, and it's fine if it doesn't succeed, it's better than being so unclear.

Someone proposed this idea at the moment, and it was supported by many people.

The old man surnamed Gao's face darkened, thinking that he had put in all his efforts to invite these two people over, but you didn't give him any face. Isn't this tearing me down?

If not, do you think that with the current reputation of Sijiutang, you can enter the gate of the fair?I really don't know what is good or bad.

Just as he was about to teach a lesson, suddenly, Young Master Ning let out a laugh: "I thought you asked us to look at something, but these broken tiles are worth the trouble?"

Although these words were spoken to the old man surnamed Gao, they actually scolded everyone present, directly degrading Cui Ci and his party as broken porcelain and broken tiles.

Everyone was furious when they heard this and denounced:

"Bastard! What are you talking about! Is this broken porcelain?"

"You are not big, but your tone is not small! What is the origin of your porcelain restaurant, who is the owner of the restaurant, have you heard the word Sijiutang?"

"Just because you are also worthy to be the manager? I have been in this business for so many years, today is really eye-opening!"

Everyone cursed unceasingly, but Young Master Ning was complacent, and when the scolding stopped, he looked around with disdain again:
"Isn't it curium porcelain? How could this young master not know? Sijiutang's name has also been heard, but I want to ask, what is Ren's surname? How come there are only eight surnames left in Sijiutang's nine-surnamed family?"
