"Oh, I am still so famous abroad?" The old man said happily. It can be seen that he is still very happy at this time.

"Of course, Master Zhu, do you know why I made a special trip here when I returned to China this time? In fact, in addition to what I said before, there is another reason. I have a classmate in the UK, who is also an overseas Chinese. His family has a plum blossom Zhoupan pot. According to my classmate, this was brought back from Hong Kong Island by his father more than 20 years ago. That pot was made by you personally. I like that pot very much, so I came here this time to see if I could meet you. As a result, God favored me and the first person I met here was you and your wife. This is really my luck!"

"Plum blossom Zhou Pan pot? Or did it come from Hong Kong Island?" Mr. Zhu muttered to himself, hesitated for a moment, and then said as if he suddenly realized something: "Well, I did make a few plum blossom Zhou Pan pots after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Two of them were given to friends in Hong Kong Island by the country. I didn't expect that they would be obtained by your classmate's father later."

The so-called plum blossom pot is a pot that looks like plum blossoms when viewed from above, with the lid like a pistil, and the lid, lid ring, and pot shoulder all looking like blooming flowers. The production of the pot is prudent, with meticulous craftsmanship. From the lid to the pot body, every turning line is clear and distinct, the tendons are neat and symmetrical, and they are connected in one breath. The negative lines on the spout and handle are smooth and bright, forming a horizontal connection, which is symmetrical with the verticality of the pot body and has a wonderful change.

Like the Fish Turning into Dragon Pot, the Plum Blossom Zhoupan Pot is also a type of pot that many Yixing purple clay masters like to make. It is not surprising that Master Zhu made such a pot in his prime.

The old man obviously did not 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, when the purple clay teapot masters are all real masters, without so many messy ideas and practices. They just focus on purple clay craftsmanship and don't care much about fame and fortune. But no matter what, it is always a happy thing for others to like their works. ..

"Xiao Yang, take a look and see which pot my old man made you like."

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

"Ah? You want it?" The old man obviously didn't expect Yang Jing to give such an answer and was shocked by this sentence.

"Yes, Master Zhu, I really like all of your works, and I think my friends like them too. Good things should be shared. The pots you make are so good. If I give them to my friends as gifts, they will definitely be very happy. Old man, how much do these pots cost? Just name your price. As long as you are willing, I will buy them all."

As Yang Jing said, some of these pots on the wooden shelf were made by the old man a long time ago, but most of them were made in recent years. These pots are definitely the best of the best. After 30 years, any one of them will be a scramble for. Especially the pots made by Master Zhu in his later years, no matter the workmanship or the charm contained in them, they are definitely masterpieces of masters.

The old man said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Xiao Yang, I am very happy that you like these pots, but I can't sell all of them to you. Many of these pots are custom-made by others, so I can't sell them to you."

"Hey, old man, that's okay. See how many you can sell to me. I'll buy them all. Just name your price."

The old man hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "Well, I'll sell you the pots I left behind. Xiao Yang, it's not that I'm greedy, it's just that life is not easy nowadays. It takes me a month to make a pot, and this..."

"Grandpa, I understand what you said. Bodhisattvas and Buddhas still need incense and offerings. It is only natural for us living people to exchange our labor for money. Grandpa, I won't say anything else. Just name a price. I can accept it no matter what you offer."

Master Zhu hesitated again, and then said, "Xiao Yang, in the field of purple clay teapots, the leader in our country is Lao Gu who lives to the north of my house. However, Lao Gu's teapots can only be sold for 200 yuan now. I admit that the teapots I make are not as good as Lao Gu's, so my teapots should be cheaper. How about 150 yuan each?"

One hundred and fifty per piece! Master Zhu Kexin's purple clay teapot is only one hundred and fifty per piece!

Yang Jing was shocked by the price...
