Recycled Porcelain [Ancient Wears Today]

Xu Jiuzhao's feeling is unbelievable. This conclusion is very unreasonable. After all, the tombs of people in the Tang Dynasty may be careless like this, right?

Xu Jiuzhao couldn't help but said, "Are you sure this clod was unearthed from the tomb together?" Almost biting his tongue, even if he knew that it was a funeral object excavated, he couldn't say it blatantly.

Uncle Li pretended not to have heard that word at all, and he said with certainty: "That's right, they were unearthed together."

The doubts on Xu Jiuzhao's face deepened. Didn't this just come from there to cheat money?

Xu Jiuzhao looked at Uncle Li suspiciously, and Uncle Li also felt that the lump of soil was not very decent, but those people told him to clean it up before selling it.The other party is too lazy to do it, so he is willing to spend this effort?

It doesn't look like anything valuable anyway.

"In addition to these pottery, there should be some other things that the owner liked before he was alive. This should be the kind here." Uncle Li said vaguely.

Xu Jiuzhao reluctantly accepted this explanation, and seeing that he had no doubts, Uncle Li and Jiang Xin started to negotiate the price again.

Thanks to Xu Jiuzhao's skeptical eyes just now, Jiang Xin suppressed the price even harder, and he even brought out the lump to talk about it.

Xu Jiuzhao was thoughtful, if this was something the former owner liked, it shouldn't be something worthless.Judging from the funeral objects, the owner of the tomb is quite wealthy.

Valuable tiles?

Xu Jiuzhao thought about it and understood.Probably the owner of the tomb is also a player, and also a hobby collector!

Qin bricks and Han tiles are also a type of collection. Today, when a father dies and a son sells his beloved collection, it is not uncommon in ancient times to be buried with the owner.What's more, there are many examples in history of burying rare antiques because of liking.

Xu Jiuzhao compared the classified books he read a few days ago, and carefully recalled the tiles with Jian characters.

Tongque Taiwa!

Xu Jiuzhao's heart was beating faster and faster, his mouth was dry and he was drooling, and his mind was a little dazed.

Tongque Terrace was built by Cao Cao at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was a high platform among the palace complex in Yecheng. Later, the tiles of this palace and the tiles unearthed nearby were called Tongque Terrace tiles.

Most of the tiles of Tongque Terrace were made into tile inkstones by the world, because when Cao Cao built the palace, the tiles were mixed with copper and iron filings, which were very good for grinding ink ingots.

Since the Tang and Song dynasties, literati and inkmen have liked to use Tongque tiles to make inkstones.Later in the Yuan Dynasty, a corner of the Tongque Terrace was washed away by Zhangshui. In the Ming Dynasty, there were only 150 steps left, and the damage was serious.Tongquetai tile inkstones are regarded as treasures by the world, and people are scrambling to find Tongquetai tiles to make inkstones, but at that time most of them were fakes.

Now that such a rare treasure is inside a lump of soil, no matter how Xu Jiuzhao thinks about it, he has no sense of reality.

"Jiu Zhao?" Jiang Xin finally negotiated the price with Uncle Li, but turned around to see Xu Jiuzhao squatting there without moving.

"Huh?" Xu Jiu looked at him with a sleepwalking expression.

Jiang Xin bent down immediately, stroked his hair and worried: "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Jiuzhao quickly cleaned up his expression, and put the lump of soil into the big box with trembling hands.

"It's okay." Xu Jiuzhao glanced at Uncle Li whose head was blocked by Jiang Xin, his lips moved, but he didn't tell the truth: "It's just that the squatting feet are a little numb."

Jiang Xin smiled lightly, stretched out his hand to surround Xu Jiuzhao's whole body, and slowly helped him up: "Is it very numb?"

The tips of Xu Jiuzhao's ears suddenly became hot: "It's okay, I can stand up by myself." Xu Jiuzhao broke free lightly and stomped his feet.

"Then I'll transfer the money." Jiang Xin turned around and said.

Xu Jiuzhao hurriedly asked: "It's agreed? How much?" Are these included?The most important thing is that this lump of soil must not fall down.

Xu Jiuzhao now knows that he can't show eagerness in front of the seller, and can only ask around.

"It's settled. The pottery figurines on the counter are calculated by piece, and a piece is 2 yuan. The size and type of pottery are about 1 yuan each." Jiang Xin pointed to the damaged ones in the box and said: "Those are cheap. Forget it, 4 yuan."

Xu Jiu took care of him and didn't mention the lump.Immediately a little anxious: "That clod doesn't count?"

Uncle Li interjected at this moment: "Do the math. Just give 50. I'll give you two boxes for nothing."

Jiang Xin glanced at Uncle Li: "Do you want to be so picky? After such a big deal, you won't send both boxes?"

Uncle Li said with a smile: "My two boxes are made of wood anyway. Although they are not expensive materials, they are not small in size."

This box is an ordinary plywood, but of course the price is not just 50.

Jiang Xin shook her head helplessly, took out her mobile phone and transferred the money to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li received the text message notification and nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, let me pack the boxes for you?"

Jiang Xin agreed, and together with Xu Jiuzhao and Uncle Li carefully stuffed the pottery figurines and pottery on the counter into the box. In order to prevent bumps, the box was filled with some small white pieces of foam filler.

Xu Jiuzhao stuffed the lumps of soil into the corners, and moved all the debris and falling off of the box aside.

"Jiu Zhao, we'll deal with those when we go back, don't worry." Jiang Xin dragged him aside, and then he and Uncle Li packed the rest into boxes.

Xu Jiuzhao was not relieved until the box was sealed and the car was loaded.

After getting in the car, Xu Jiuzhao finally couldn't help showing an excited smile. For the first time, he experienced the fun of picking up leaks from Taobao, and it turned out to be so exciting and interesting.Xu Jiuzhao had never experienced that kind of excitement and uncontrollable elation.No wonder people are addicted to Taobao, it’s so interesting.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Xin looked at him strangely while driving, Xu Jiuzhao smiled so happily that Jiang Xin couldn't help but feel happy when he saw him.

"Did you know? We missed it again this time!" Xu Jiuzhao couldn't wait to go back and tell him again.

"Huh?" Jiang Xin looked at him in surprise, "Which one?"

Xu Jiuzhao said with bright eyes, "It's that clod! There's a Tongque Taiwa inside!"

Jiang Xin was really surprised at this moment: "There are bronze sparrow tiles in the burial objects?!"

Xu Jiuzhao nodded: "I couldn't believe it at first, but didn't Uncle Li say that it was probably the tomb owner's favorite thing during his lifetime? I only guessed at the valuables."

Jiang Xin thought about it carefully and asked, "How sure are you?"

The main reason is that the lump of soil was piled up with the defective products, and Jiang Xin didn't even take a look at it.

Xu Jiuzhao said: "I'm 15% sure. I roughly estimated the texture and weight of the tile, which is very consistent with the characteristic weight of the Tongquetai tile. I weighed the fallen clod, it was quite light, and it was actually heavy on the hand. It’s that tile. And half of the character Jian’an leaked out from the back, and there’s a circular pattern on top of the Jian character. I guess that’s the first character of the inscription ‘Jian’an [-]th Year’ on the Tongquetai tile.”

Jiang Xin tapped the steering wheel: "What kind of material is the tile?"

Xu Jiuzhao said without thinking, "It's Heitao."

Jiang Xin nodded and hummed: "There is a great possibility that it is Tongquetaiwa."

Xu Jiuzhao said with a smile: "I just don't know if this piece has been made into a tile inkstone. There is too much soil outside, and I didn't dare to break it completely at that time."

Jiang Xin looked at his happy face, and said with a smile on his face, "Are you very happy? Do you feel that it is very satisfying to find the treasure dusted by the seller's negligence, and then pick it up and return it?"

Xu Jiuzhao thought he was being teased, and said embarrassingly: "I was too excited and too unstable."

Jiang Xin shook her head and said: "It's normal. I was very happy and excited when I picked up the leak for the first time. This kind of thing can't be discovered by personal experience. Others can't imagine it just by imagination. It's the same until now. The discovery is ignored and buried. It still makes me happy to buy antiques and buy real treasures in the hands of people who don't know the goods."

Xu Jiu looked at his steady eyebrows, as if he had discovered his maturity for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a slight ripple in his heart.

Although he said that he should be equal to him before, in fact he has always regarded Jiang Xin as someone younger than him unconsciously. It was only now that he realized that Jiang Xin is not only older than his body, but also his mental experience. Make him more mature than his peers.

And the common experience made Xu Jiuzhao feel closer to Jiang Xin. He has never been so close to Jiang Xin in his heart from before to now.

Xu Jiuzhao has family, friends, colleagues, and apprentices, and his life is busy and fulfilling, but his private life is very monotonous.There have never been people who travel and taste food together like now.

He also now has a close friend with whom he can share work and life.

Xu Jiuzhao's chest slowly felt a blunt feeling, and warm feelings began to grow.Xu Jiuzhao showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. They must be very good and long-term friends.

Xu Jiuzhao's good mood lasted until he returned to the hotel room, after the waiter who assisted in the transportation went out.

He couldn't wait to open the box: "Ah Xin, come and see!"

Jiang Xin went to the bathroom to fill the bathtub with water, and when he walked outside, he saw Xu Jiuzhao waving at him.

Jiang Xin couldn't help laughing, and then he found that compared to the polite, steady and mature Xu Jiuzhao before, he liked the emotionally leaky and childish Xu Jiuzhao now.

Jiang Xin also noticed that Xu Jiuzhao got closer to him now.

Happily leaning over, Jiang Xin took the lump of dirt in his hand: "I put water and went to the bathroom. Don't do it here."

Xu Jiuzhao was stunned for a moment: "Oh, yes."

The two moved directly to the bathroom and cleaned the tile for more than half an hour in the bathtub.

"It's Wa Yan." Jiang Xin said with certainty.

There is an ink pool dug into an oval shape on the back of the tile, and there are many characters on the tile surface.

After cleaning for another half an hour, the stubborn stains on the tile inkstone surface were removed.

But even so, there are still some particles that cannot be cleaned off stick to the tile inkstone.

Jiang Xin said: "These things that can't be removed have to be cleaned up by professionals, and this is the only way to do it now."

Xu Jiuzhao nodded, took the inkstone from Jiang Xin, and looked at the writing on the inkstone.

The content of these texts is to praise the Tongquetai tile inkstone, as well as the source of acquisition, the process of making the tile inkstone, and finally the original owner's inscription.

"Xue Ji..." Xu Jiuzhao read the name on the inkstone.

"It turned out to be Xue Ji." Jiang Xin said: "Xue Ji is one of the four great masters in the early Tang Dynasty, a famous calligrapher. With his name, the price of the inkstone will double."

Xu Jiuzhao asked with interest: "How much is it worth?"

Jiang Xin thought for a while and said: "Limited by material and shape, the price of tile inkstones in the Tang Dynasty can be between 7 and 8, and the price of famous people's models can be between 30 and 40. In recent years, the mainstream collections are still jade and porcelain. , The Four Treasures of the Study are miscellaneous items, the collection is not very popular, and the price of the Tongque Terrace tile inkstone will not be too high." Then he was afraid that Xu Jiuzhao would be disappointed: "But Xue Ji is a famous calligrapher, and there are his characters on it. Auctions among enthusiasts should fetch a price higher than 40."

Although the seal cutting on the inkstone is Xue Ji's authentic work, it is not a calligraphy work after all, and it was not available in the market before. It is not certain which crazy fans will buy it back as a treasure.

Xu Jiuzhao is easier to be satisfied: "Anyway, it is still possible to pick up the loopholes, which is already very good."

Buying a tile inkstone worth 50 yuan for 30 yuan, the income of [-] times is amazing enough.

Jiang Xin looked at Xu Jiuzhao seriously and said: "Since you found it, then this inkstone belongs to you, and it should be regarded as your commission for this time."

Xu Jiuzhao looked up at him in surprise: "How can this work? It's too precious."

Jiang Xin said cunningly: "How expensive is it? Isn't it 50 yuan? I saved a fortune and took advantage of it."

Xu Jiuzhao laughed while holding his hands in his hands. He thought for a while and nodded cheerfully: "Then I thank you."

Xu Jiuzhao's direct acceptance this time made Jiang Xin very happy, and he didn't refuse to be polite. They really got closer.
