Chapter 252 Old Friend

 After Ponytail saw her blue and white plum vase being smashed by Shen Yu, she was stunned.

After staying for a few seconds, he yelled at Shen Yu: "You, you, you... you pay me the bottle."

Shen Yu didn't react at all to the young man's hysteria. He lowered himself to the ground and took out a piece of porcelain. After examining it for a few seconds, he suddenly laughed: "It's not urgent to pay you for the bottle. If I guessed correctly, your surname should be Chen." Right?

"And this blue and white porcelain vase was not left by your grandfather, but made by your father?"

"How do you know?" His ponytail almost jumped up. He ignored the broken plum vase on the ground and looked directly at Shen Yu with an expression of disbelief.

Shen Yue's tone became more serious, "Not only do I know your surname is Chen, but I also know your name is Chen Xiaoyu."

"Hell, damn it! I rarely come to Dongjiang, how do you know me? Do you know how to tell fortunes?" As Chen Xiaoyu spoke, he stepped back a few steps, putting some distance between himself and Shen Yu.

"Why, you don't recognize me?"

"What do you mean, have we met before?" Chen Xiaoyu's hair stood on end, but he had no impression of Shen Yu at all.

He is not afraid of anything else now, but he is afraid that he once cheated Shen Yu, and now he will not be able to get rid of the "creditor".

Chen Xiaoyu started to think about various things.

Shen Yu's thoughts went back to ten years ago.

It was a winter snowy weekend.

Shen Yu was still in junior high school at that time. After lunch, he was studying the identification of ancient seals in the study room.

Several antique shop owners suddenly came to the door, each holding a blue and white porcelain vase in their hands. The styles were different. Some were plum vases, some were gourd vases, some were garlic vases, and some were jade pots.

Several people were a little excited when talking to Zhonglou, saying that if it weren't for your sake, the man named Chen would have to go to jail.

After listening to the words of several shop owners, Zhongzhonglou’s originally smiling face became serious.

He comforted the shopkeepers for a long time before sending them away, and promised that you could come to him if you encountered any uncertain antiques in each store, but only once.

Zhongzhonglou was nearly ninety years old at the time. Although he was still in good health, the snowy days left the road covered with ice and debris.

Let alone going from Dongjiang to Chuzhou, even if you accidentally fall down while walking on the road, it will be life-threatening for an elderly person.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhongzhonglou took Shen Yu to Chuzhou in the heavy snow.

It was a porcelain town in the north of Qingyun River, and its name was Jiangbei Town.

The whole town is made of porcelain.

The purpose of Zhongzhonglou is to find a porcelain maker named Chen who works in the kiln.

Because Zhongzhonglou did not let Shen Yu follow him into the house at that time, Shen Yu only listened briefly outside the house.

Basically, Zhongzhonglou will not let Craftsman Chen use high-imitation porcelain to deceive people again, otherwise he will have to go to jail.

For the sake of being the descendants of the old brother, Chongzhonglou blocked the matter this time, and then asked Craftsman Chen to return the money to each store one by one.

At that time, Craftsman Chen knew that many people were looking for him, and he was always worried and scared every day.

Hearing that Zhongzhonglou could save him this time, he quickly paid for it.

Finally, Zhongzhonglou left him an envelope, which must have contained a lot of money.

When Shen Yu was bored outside the house, Craftsman Chen's son, Chen Xiaoyu, was following behind him, calling him brother.

Shen Yu was already fifteen years old at the time, so he was considered a middle-aged man. How could he deal with a teenage slug? He threw two pieces of bubble gum at him and let him play with himself.

And it was these two pieces of bubble gum that almost caused a big disaster.

Slug's poor family had never eaten this stuff, so he put two pieces of bubble gum about the size of rubber together in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it.

But the throats of teenagers are only so big, and the softened bubble gum is stuck in the throat, making it impossible to swallow or spit it out.

Chen Xiaoyu's face turned purple from holding back, and he curled up and rolled on the ground.

Shen Yu was so frightened that he kept patting Chen Xiaoyu on the back, but to no avail.

Fortunately, Shen Chonglou heard the noise and walked out quickly. He knelt down on one knee and picked up the slug and put it on his left leg. He pinched open the slug's mouth with his left hand and slapped the slug hard on the back with his right hand. I spit out the big lump of bubble gum.

Shen Yu might not be able to remember this.

When he was leaving, Slug pulled his sleeve and said something that Shen Yu will never forget, "Brother, do you still have those chunks of fruit-flavored candy? It's so delicious."

Shen Yu remembers this sentence clearly.

Afterwards, Shen Yu asked his grandfather what happened. It turned out that Craftsman Chen's father was his grandfather's son and was once a famous porcelain king in Chuzhou.

This man's name is "Chen Yunsheng". His ancestors worked in the Royal Kiln Factory of the Porcelain City. Porcelain firing can be said to be a family craft. The antique porcelain he makes can be fake and authentic.

Counterfeiting of antiques has been around since ancient times.

Especially porcelain.

Generally, those who want to save face will leave some marks.

Those who are aboveboard will write on the bottom of the porcelain, such as someone imitating it.

If you have a flamboyant personality but don't want to deceive others, put a mark on the surface to show that you can't tell that it's because you have no eyesight, but if I mark it, it won't be considered a fraud.

If you want to deceive people but are afraid of getting into trouble, you can mark the inside of the porcelain. If the scandal comes out, you can prove that it is a high imitation.

Only those who are specifically designed to deceive people will leave no mark at all.

The old porcelain king has two porcelain kilns in his family, which can be said to be a source of wealth.

Although he is not considered a wealthy family, he is still a well-known wealthy family in Chuzhou, so all the porcelain produced by his family will be marked with an imitation: "Chen Yunsheng Imitation".

The King of Porcelain had no sons, and he adopted a son from his cousin when he was seventy years old. This was Craftsman Chen.

This Craftsman Chen has learned sixty-seven points of skills from the Porcelain King, but his character is not as good as that of the Porcelain King Mr. Chen.

Craftsman Chen was adopted by Mr. Chen when he was in his twenties. He had already learned bad habits. He liked the things in the cup and even gambled a few times after drinking. Later, he was tricked and Mr. Chen's family business was completely ruined.<

/p>

A few years later, perhaps out of fear of poverty, Craftsman Chen gritted his teeth and rented a porcelain kiln to put the marks previously left on the surface of the porcelain into the bottle.

And what this guy is afraid of taking responsibility for is still the porcelain king's signature, which is "Chen Yunsheng Imitation".

If a clerk in an antique shop hadn't broken one by mistake and found out that it had the stamp of the Porcelain King, these people would not have known that what they bought was a fake.

They couldn't find Craftsman Chen, but they knew that Chongzhonglou and Porcelain King had a fateful relationship, so they all came to Chongchenglou to complain.

"Ahem, Xiaoyu, do you still remember the person in Jiangbei Town who gave you two pieces of candy?"

When Chen Xiaoyu heard this, his eyes widened and he asked, "You...are you the brother of the Shen family?"

"Yes, I am Shen Yu!"

"Xiaoyu, where is your father?"

"No more."

Shen Yu was stunned: "Is it an emergency or an accident?"

Chen Xiaoyu shook his head: "It's just gone and can't be found."

Shen Yu suddenly realized, "Missing?"

"Yes, I don't know whether he is dead or alive now. Anyway, drinking all day long is already in the advanced stage of liver cancer."

"What about your mother?"

"I have remarried a long time ago. That man is no better than my father. He is also an alcoholic, but he sleeps after drinking and does not hit anyone, but I don't like him either."

Shen Yu frowned slightly, "So now you just use this bottle to go to antique shops to make some money to make a living?"

Chen Xiaoyu scratched the back of his neck and said humbly: "It can't be considered a scam. I can sell it for 20,000 yuan at most. Their antique shops sell this kind of high-imitation bottle for more than 10,000 yuan when they sell it for takeout."

Shen Yu looked around and said, "Now put away the broken porcelain on the ground and let's find a quiet place to talk."
