"Yes, a big plate." Qingtian remembered the important matter, took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang.
Qin Hexuan quickly walked to the edge of the kang and used his body to block her from falling.
Qingtian ran to Kangqin and opened the door. She put most of her body in and fumbled around for a long time. Finally, she brought out a plate that almost covered most of her body.
Seeing that she was having difficulty holding the plate, Qin Hexuan had no choice but to get on the kang himself and quickly took the plate from her.
The plate feels heavy in the hand and the surface feels very smooth and delicate.
Qin Hexuan first turned the plate over and looked at the bottom, but there was no mark.
Only then did he turn it over and take a closer look at the pattern on the disk.
The outermost circle of the plate is painted with a circular pattern, and the inner part is a lotus pattern.
The colors are bright, the textures are clear, and the lines are clean and neat. You can tell at a glance that it was made by a skilled craftsman.
"Xiao Su said that such a big plate is not for serving food, but for display." Qingtian asked in confusion, "Why shouldn't the plate be used for serving food? Why should it be displayed for viewing?"
"He's talking nonsense!" Qin Hexuan said with certainty, "This is the plate used to serve food."
"Really?" Qingtian said happily, "Then I can give it to Mom!"
"It would be a waste to use this plate for eating." Qin Hexuan looked at it over and over for a long time, and after confirming it again and again, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, the area of Shuanglin Village you mentioned should be the official kiln built in the palace of the previous dynasty.
"This kind of large plate should be specially made for banquets in the palace.
“It’s just that this should be an early prototype, so there’s no signature on the bottom of the plate.
"If it had a signature, it would probably be worth a lot of money, but even if it didn't, it should still sell for quite a bit of silver."
At the end of the previous dynasty, the emperor was incompetent and the government was in chaos. Therefore, Emperor Taizu led his troops in an uprising, eventually overthrew the rule of the previous dynasty, and ascended the throne to become emperor.
At that time, the imperial palace was stormed by force led by Emperor Taizu.
The previous emperor was in a desperate attempt to resist and take revenge, so he ordered people to set fires everywhere in the palace, causing most of the palaces and their belongings to be burned down.
In the early years after Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, more than half of the palaces in the imperial palace were uninhabitable because there was no money to repair and rebuild them.
It was not until the national treasury was full that construction gradually began. It took several decades to build it into its present appearance.
Therefore, the things from the palace of the previous dynasty are very scarce in the market. With such good quality, as long as you find the right person who knows the business, you will definitely be able to sell them for a good price.
However, Qin Hexuan did not explain these words to Qingtian. He only said: "If you trust me, give the plates to me. I will go back and find someone to help you sell them. It will definitely make more money than if you sell them on your own."
After he said that, he felt that something was wrong and that he should tell this to Boss Ye and his wife.
Qingtian is too young, even if she found the plate, she certainly can't make the decision.
Qin Hexuan placed the plate on the table and said to Qingtian, "Wait for me, I'll go ask your parents."
He went out to find Boss Ye to ask, but Boss Ye said very cheerfully: "As for the plate, just tell Qingtian and she'll agree. She picked it up.
“It would be great if I could sell it for money, I could save it and buy Qingtian a dowry later.
"It's okay if it's not worth much. I'll ask her uncle to make her a wooden shelf. It will look nice as a decoration."
Boss Ye actually didn't really believe what Qin Hexuan said about being able to sell it for a high price.
When Qingtian just came back from picking up the plates, the couple discussed this matter.
I heard that the abandoned kiln in Shuanglin Village was almost turned upside down.
If you say there are some beautiful broken porcelain pieces, that's almost right. How could such a large and complete plate have gone unnoticed before and just waited for a sunny day to pick it up?
Mrs. Ye prefers sunny days for better luck.
But Boss Ye didn't think so. He just thought that Mrs. Ye was too eager to make money, and that was just a woman's problem of being imaginative.
But it’s such a big plate, and the pattern is quite pretty, it would be nice to use as a decoration.
It’s a pity that there is only one. If they were a couple, it would be great to keep them as a dowry for Qingtian.
So when Qin Hexuan said that he could take it to the capital to sell for money, he had no objection, but he also didn't hold out any hope.
"Don't you need to ask Mrs. Ye?" Qin Hexuan asked finally to be on the safe side.
"It's just a plate, how can I not make the decision?" Boss Ye said, "Well, Young Master Qin, if you want to ask, I'll call her over."
After Ye Lao Da finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen and called his wife over.
Mrs. Ye was washing dishes. When she heard that Young Master Qin had something to ask her, she quickly washed her hands and came over while wiping them.
Qin Hexuan asked her the same question, and Mrs. Ye's reaction was almost exactly the same as Boss Ye's.
"Just tell Qingtian and she'll agree."
Mrs. Ye thought to herself, although her daughter may not be able to say much about other things, her luck is excellent. If she thinks it's okay, then there must be no problem.
Qin Hexuan didn't expect that Boss Ye and his wife were so straightforward. They were very different from the people he usually interacted with.
Many people become particularly calculative when it comes to money.
But Boss Ye and his wife had no intention of treating Qingtian harshly.
He suddenly felt that he had thought too much before. The couple seemed to be quite nice to their adopted daughter Qingtian.
So Qin Hexuan returned to his room and said to Qingtian, "Can I help you take the plates to the capital to sell them for money? Don't worry, I will definitely..."
Before he finished speaking, Qingtian nodded immediately and said, "Brother Qin, it doesn't matter if you can't sell it. If you like it, I'll give it to you."
