"Young man, if you like the pot on the shelf, tell me and I'll give it to you directly." the old man said with a smile.

"Grandpa, can I have a look?"

The old man nodded. Yang Jing took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on.

The old man shook his head and said, "what gloves are you wearing? They are all small things made by ourselves. They are not so precious. We don't pay attention to them here."

Yang Jing didn't say anything, but she still didn't take off her gloves.

Picked up a pot, Yang Jing was immediately attracted by it.

From the appearance and the decoration on the pot, it seems to be a "Yuhua dragon pot", but the cloud pattern on the pot looks different from the general Yuhua dragon pot.

The body of an ordinary Yuhua dragon pot is wavy, but the pattern on the body of the pot in front of us is cloud pattern; Moreover, in general, the fish dragon on the pot is spitting beads, while the fish dragon on the pot is spraying water.

However, like the ordinary fish dragon pot, the dragon head installed on the pot cover is flexible, beautiful and flexible, and the handle is the dragon tail.

It seemed that he saw Yang Jing's doubts. The old man smiled and asked, "young man, can you see what the origin of this pot is?"

Yang Jing shook her head and said, "old man, this pot really makes me a little confused. From the modeling and decoration, it should be a Yuhua dragon pot, but the cloud pattern and Yulong spray on the pot are different from ordinary Yuhua dragon pots."

"Yo, can you still know the Yuhua dragon pot? You can also see that my pot is different from the general Yuhua dragon pot. It's good, good!"

After a pause, the old man came over and said, "I made this pot in the early 1950s, and several pots are the same as this pot." then the old man pointed to several pots on the shelf. Yang Jing looked at it. Sure enough, these pots are almost the same as the one in his hand.

"These pots are really not Yuhua dragon pots. I made some changes on the basis of Yuhua dragon pots. Before liberation, especially during the war of resistance against Japan, I made a lot of Yuhua dragon pots, but similarly, before liberation, the life of our pot makers was far worse than now. Thanks to the Party leading the PLA to liberate China, it was precisely because of liberation We old artists who rely on making pots to make a living can live better. Therefore, I think our old artists who make pots even "carp jumped over the dragon's gate" after liberation, so I made some changes on the basis of the previous Yuhua dragon pots, and finally made these shaped pots. I named these pots "Yunlong pots."

"These pots are still changed according to the shape of the Yuhua dragon pot, but it is a little breakthrough that the inlay cover is changed into a gland, the dragon tail handle is changed into a flying handle, and the original rotating cloud water pattern is changed into cloud pattern."

The old man was very proud when he said this. It can be seen that he was very satisfied with this change.

But when the name "Yunlong pot" fell in Yang Jing's ear, Yang Jing was really shocked!

He has not heard of the name of "Yunlong pot" once or twice, but he has never seen the Yunlong pot, so when he first saw the pot this time, he didn't think that it was the famous Yunlong pot.

Therefore, Yang Jing immediately pressed the lid of the pot with her hand and turned the pot over. Sure enough, there was a seal on the bottom of the pot: made by Zhu Kexin. Turn the pot straight over and uncover the lid. There is a seal on the inner side of the lid: Zhu Kexin.

Sure enough, this pot is the work of Zhu Kexin, a generation of purple sand master. The old man who looks no different from the ordinary rural old man is the legendary master Zhu Kexin! No wonder I looked familiar when I first saw the old man just now.

Now Yang Jing was really excited. He gently put down the pot in his hand. He asked excitedly, "Grandpa, are you a generation of purple sand Master Zhu Kexin, Master Zhu?"

"Hehe, young man, I don't deserve the name of the master, but Kexin is my stage name."

"Ouch, hello..." Yang Jing screamed. He really didn't expect to see the late generation Master Zhu Kexin here. This surprise came so fast and suddenly that he couldn't help it.

"Hehe, young man, is my old man so famous?" Master Zhu was amused by Yang Jing's performance.

"Nonsense! Of course I'll be excited to see you, man!" Yang Jing muttered silently in her heart.

In the Chinese purple sand art world, in addition to the ancient masters and masters, after liberation, the Soviet provincial government appointed seven famous purple sand artists Ren Ganting, Pei Shimin, Wu yungen, Wang Yinchun, Zhu Kexin, Gu Jingzhou and Jiang Rong as "technical guidance" in 1956, known as the "seven old artists" in purple sand art, that is, the "seven old purple sand artists" respected by later purple sand lovers 。

In front of him, Master Zhu is one of the seven masters of purple sand. His position in purple sand art may not be as good as that of Shi Dabin, Chen Mingyuan and Gu Jingzhou, but he is definitely one of the top few masters, the absolute Taishan Beidou in purple sand art!

It's a pity that Master Zhu died in 1986. Yang Jing didn't have the fate to meet this master. But he didn't expect to meet the legendary purple sand master on the summer morning of 1982.

"Master, you are a master!" Yang Jing said without doubt. "Master, you don't know your fame abroad. I'm not very clear about other countries, but in Britain, your name is respected by countless overseas Chinese who like purple sand culture. Even many British people who like our Chinese purple sand culture respect you very much."

"Yo, my old man is still so famous abroad?" the old man said happily. I can see that the old man is still very happy at this time.

"Of course, Master Zhu, do you know why I came here this time? In fact, there is another reason besides what I said before. I have a classmate in Britain, who is also an overseas Chinese. His family has a plum blossom Zhou pan pot. According to my classmate, his father brought it back from Hong Kong Island more than 20 years ago. You made the pot yourself. I'm very special I like that pot, so I came here this time to see if I could meet you. As a result, God rewarded me. The first person I met here was you and your wife. This is really my luck! "

"Plum blossom Zhou pan pot? Or did you go out from Hong Kong Island?" Mr. Zhu muttered and hesitated for a moment. Then he suddenly realized, "well, I did make several plum blossom Zhou pan pots after the founding of the people's Republic of China. Two of them were given by the state to friends in Hong Kong Island. I didn't expect to be obtained by your classmate's father later."

The so-called plum blossom circle pot is a pot that looks like plum blossoms from above, covers like pistils, covers the surface, covers the ring and shoulders are flowers in full bloom. The Tong pot is carefully made with exquisite workmanship. From the lid to the pot body, each turning line angle is clear, the tendons and sacs are neat and symmetrical, and they are connected with each other. The Yin line on the flow and handle is fluent and lively, forming a horizontal connection, which is symmetrical and wonderful to the straightness of the pot body.

Like the Yuhua dragon pot, the plum blossom zhoupan pot is also a kind of pot that many purple sand masters in Yixing like to make. It is not surprising that Master Zhu made such a pot in his heyday.

Obviously, the old man didn't expect that the pot he made decades ago would be collected by overseas Chinese, which made him very happy.

These days are not like decades later. These purple clay pot masters at this time are real masters. They don't have so many messy ideas and practices. They just concentrate on purple clay technology and look very little at fame and benefit. But anyway, it's always a pleasant thing for people to like their works by others.

"Xiao Yang, look, which pot do you like made by my old man?"

"Master Zhu, I like all of these very much. How about I pay for them all?"

"Ah? You want it all?" the old man obviously didn't expect Yang Jing to give such an answer. He was greatly impressed by this sentence.

"Yes, Master Zhu, I really like your works, and I think my friends also like them. Good things are to be shared. These pots you make are so good that they will be very happy if I give them to my friends as a gift. Sir, how much are these pots? You can ask for the price, and I'll give them all if you like It's not a problem to buy them. "

As Yang Jing said, some of the pots on the wooden shelves were made by the old man long ago, but more were made in recent years. These pots are definitely the best of the best. After 30 years, taking out one can make people break their heads. In particular, the pots made by Master Zhu in his later years are absolutely masters' works, both in workmanship and charm.

The old man looked embarrassed and said, "Xiao Yang, you like these pots. My old man is very happy, but I can't sell all these pots to you. Many of these pots are customized by others. I can't sell them to you."

"Hey, old man, it doesn't matter. See how many you can sell to me. I'll buy them all. Just ask for the price."

The old man hesitated for a moment, finally sighed and said, "well, I'll sell you the pots I left behind. Xiao Yang, it's not the old man. I'm greedy for money. It's really hard to live now. My old man took pains to make a pot for a month. This..."

"Sir, I understand what you said. Bodhisattvas and Buddhas still need incense. It is natural for us living people to exchange our labor for expenses. Sir, don't say anything. You can make a price. No matter what price you offer, I can accept it."

Master Zhu hesitated again and said, "Xiao Yang, now in the purple clay pot, Lao Gu, who lives in the north of my home, is the first in our country. However, Lao Gu's pot can sell for 200 now. My old man's pot is not as good as Lao Gu's. I also admit that, so my pot is cheaper. How about 151?"

One hundred and fifty-one! Master Zhu Kexin's purple clay pot is only 151!

Yang Jing was shocked by the price
