Mr. Dai left so neatly that Chen Ran was stunned for a moment.
Don’t know any common sense about antiques? This is the first time someone has commented on him like this.
Shaking his head, Chen Ran thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out what was going on... It's just that Mr. Dai's pair of Flower God Cups were not genuine, but this was absolutely true. Chen Ran could be sure that he didn't.
If you misunderstand, with this in mind, Mr. Dai will leave directly, and he will naturally not stop him.
After running for a long time, I finally got this result. If I say I'm not disappointed, I'd be lying. But there's nothing I can do about it. It seems that if I want to collect a complete set of Kangxi's colorful flower cups, I'll have to rely on Mr. Bai.
After Mr. Dai left, Chen Ran didn't stay much. He left the hotel and drove directly from Yuzhou City to the expressway. Xuchang was already very close to Zhongdu. It only took Chen Ran an hour.
He rushed to Zhongdu.
When he came to Zhongdu this time, Chen Ran had something on his mind, so he didn't plan to go to Cao's house. Even if he did, he would wait until he was done with his work. When he arrived in Zhongdu, he called Mr. Bai.
Without saying much on the phone, Chen Ran drove over directly after learning that Mr. Bai was at his Mingxiang Pavilion.
Entering Hutong No. 2 and arriving at the entrance of Mingxiang Pavilion, a hostess wearing a cheongsam greeted him: "Boss Chen, you are here. Mr. Bai is waiting for you in the box."
Chen Ran is also a frequent visitor to Mingxiang Pavilion. These etiquette ladies all know Chen Ran. Chen Ran just called Mr. Bai and said he was coming over. Apparently Mr. Bai has already told him.
The etiquette lady brought Chen Ran to the door of the box and turned around. Just as Chen Ran was about to walk in, a sound of scolding suddenly came from the box.
"I've told you so many times that I won't let you collect things easily, but you just don't listen. You're not good at studying, and you keep thinking about detecting leaks. Look at how much tuition you have paid, but you still haven't made any progress.
No, people are always deceived and they think they have made a huge profit. How can there be such a good thing in this world..."
There were not many guests in Bai Lao's Mingxiang Pavilion at the moment, and there was no one in the private room, so Bai Lao left the private room door open for guests. As soon as Chen Ran came over, Bai Lao's voice came from the private room.
Who is Mr. Bai trying to teach a lesson?
"Mr. Bai, what's going on?" Chen Ran said hello outside the door first, and then walked into the box. When he walked into the box, he saw that Mr. Bai was scolding a young man about his age. This
The young man was not annoyed when he was being taught a lesson by Mr. Bai. Instead, he licked his face and looked cheerful.
Hearing Chen Ran's voice, Mr. Bai and the young man immediately looked towards Chen Ran. Mr. Bai, who had a straight face at first, saw Chen Ran and immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
"Xiaoran, you're here, but you haven't been to my place for a while..."
Speaking of which, Chen Ran has indeed not been to Mr. Bai's place for a long time. After returning from Guixiong Ridge, he came to see Mr. Bai. From then on, let alone meeting, he rarely made phone calls.
, now that Mr. Bai mentioned it, Chen Ran was quite embarrassed.
"Mr. Bai, it's not that I don't want to come see you, but I've never been in Zhongdu. You see, every time I come back to Zhongdu, I don't always think of you first..." Chen Ran could only smile bitterly and keep apologizing.
It's true that he did something wrong. It seems that from now on, instead of coming over often, he should at least make frequent phone calls to say hello, so as not to think of coming over every time something happens.
Chen Ran's words made Mr. Bai smile heartily: "Your words are enough. Come on, let's sit down and chat." He pulled Chen Ran to sit down enthusiastically, but he glared at the young man angrily.
: "Little bastard, why don't you get out of the way."
The young man looked at Chen Ran, then stepped aside with a smile and said: "Uncle, why don't you introduce your guest to me? We are all about the same age. It should be easier for us to find common topics."
Bar."
"You still have a common topic? What else do you do besides eating, drinking and having fun? Even though you and Xiaoran are about the same age, compared to Xiaoran, you are still far behind..." The young man's words made Mr. Bai almost roll his eyes in anger and said, "Yes."
Even so, he still introduced the young man to Chen Ran.
This young man is the grandson of Mr. Bai, but he is not the grandson of Mr. Bai, but the grandson of Mr. Bai's younger brother. Mr. Bai himself has no grandchildren, so he raises him as his biological grandson.
Mr. Bai's family can be regarded as a porcelain family. This boy has become addicted to playing antiques. Unfortunately, he is not good at studying and is always cheated by others. He has been taken advantage of a lot. He has paid countless tuition fees, but he still won't change.
It is worth mentioning that this guy’s name is Bai Lei.
"What are you still doing? Go make some tea for Xiaoran."
Mr. Bai glared at Bai Lei angrily, then looked at Chen Ran with interest, and said impatiently: "Xiao Ran, you said you brought me good things, what good things are you, take them out and give them to the old man.
See it."
"Brother Bai, wait." After hearing what Mr. Bai said, Chen Ran suddenly stopped Bai Lei who was about to make tea, then turned to look at Mr. Bai and smiled: "Old Mr. Bai, you are a tea lover.
The first time I came here, I brought you some tea that you haven’t drunk before for you to try..."
Before Chen Ran finished speaking, Bai Lei, who was stopped by Chen Ran and stood aside, couldn't help laughing: "The good thing you brought is tea. I thought it was some good thing. My uncle
Whoever travels all over the world has never tasted tea..."
"Oh? Tea?" Mr. Bai's eyes lit up, and he was obviously interested. He naturally guessed that Chen Ran would definitely not bring him ordinary tea. Chen Ran said that he had never even drunk tea, which made him
He was very curious, was there tea that he had never drunk before?
This is also Chen Ran. He would definitely feel uncomfortable if he replaced the tea leaves that others said he had never drunk. But Chen Ran was different. Although he and Chen Ran had not seen each other much during this period, there was still a lot of information about Chen Ran.
He had heard about all the things, not to mention the leak detection thing, such as the eight-knife carving technique that Huadu suddenly showed, etc. He knew that this young man could always bring miracles to others.
So he was quite interested in the tea that Chen Ran mentioned that even he had drunk.
"Why don't you get ready! Xiao Ran, don't worry, this little bastard just talks without restraint..." Mr. Bai first glared at Bai Lei, then looked at Chen Ran's open leather bag with interest, and saw
His bag was bulging, so he smiled and said: "Xiao Ran, besides tea, are there any other good things? Just take them out."
"Mr. Bai, please allow me to be quiet first." Chen Ran rummaged through the special tea in his bag and shook his head with a smile. This time when he visited Mr. Bai, he was thinking about the tea that Mr. Bai had collected.
Three Flower God Cups. Mr. Bai, who loves porcelain so much, obviously regards the Flower God Cup as a treasure. If you want to get these three Flower God Cups from Mr. Bai, you have to work hard.
.
Chen Ran is still very confident. If there were other people who could not be trusted by him, he would definitely not leak out the fact that he had the Osmanthus Cup in his hand. But Mr. Bai is naturally different. Not to mention the seven
Tell them all, just show the broken osmanthus cup he brought to Mr. Bai, and it will definitely shock Mr. Bai...
"How come you have learned this trick..." Mr. Bai laughed dumbly. Chen Ran didn't say this. He didn't have anything to do. Hearing Chen Ran say this, it aroused his strong curiosity. Chen Ran gave him
It was obvious that what he was going to show him was something good, which made him feel itchy. Fortunately, his attention was immediately attracted by the tea leaves that Chen Ran found.
"This is..." Mr. Bai couldn't help but be puzzled when he saw the earthen jar that Chen Ran found. This earthen jar was said to be an earthen jar, but in fact it was not. In fact, it was just a lump of mud that had been simply fired.
pimple.
Bai Lei also walked in and placed a set of dark red purple clay pots on the wooden table. The purple clay pots were only the size of a baby's fist and four small cups of the same color.
Following Chen Ran's movements.
Chen Ran didn't say much. He turned the earthen jar out and placed it on the wooden table. He tapped it with a clamp. As he pounded, the mud and debris on it were broken piece by piece and fell on the table.
After knocking twice, a hole was made, revealing the green tea leaves inside. The tea leaves were very green, grass green, and they didn't look like fired tea leaves at all.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Bai and Bai Lei were both surprised. They had seen the process of making tea leaves, but this was the first time they had seen tea leaves preserved in this way.
"Don't knock out all the soil outside, just make a hole like this. It's better to preserve it this way."
The hole revealed the tea leaves inside, so Chen Ran stopped knocking and used a tong to pick out a few tea leaves, put them into a small purple clay pot, and closed the lid.
"The task of making tea will be left to you. I'll just wait and drink."
Chen Ran was not an expert at making tea, so he would not be embarrassed in front of an expert like Mr. Bai.
Chen Ran's words made Mr. Bai laugh. Bai Lei originally wanted to make tea, but Mr. Bai pushed him aside and started doing it himself.
Needless to say, Mr. Bai's tea-making skills go without saying. This is the first time that Chen Ran has seen Mr. Bai make tea with his own eyes. His meticulous skills are really impressive.
Before the tea was brewed, a strong fragrance wafted out, which made people's minds suddenly clear, and they had an inexplicable desire to taste it.
After the tea was brewed, Mr. Bai closed the lid of the purple clay pot, and then turned the purple clay pot upside down. The slightly green tea flowed out from the small hole on the purple clay lid, into the small pen holder-like purple clay cup.
Half filled, the tea is full of green and fragrant.
Before Chen Ran asked them to try it, Mr. Bai and Bai Lei couldn't wait to pick up the cups and taste them.
As soon as this tea touches the tongue, it feels slightly bitter at first, a bit like drinking traditional Chinese medicine. Then the bitterness reaches the root of the tongue, and immediately a strong and mellow fragrance is forced into the brain, refreshing and refreshing, with a lingering sweetness on the tongue, and the taste is endless.
.
"Mr. Bai, Brother Bai, how do you like this tea? It's not bad..."
After asking, Chen Ran also picked up the tea cup and tasted it. This time, he was a little surprised. The taste of this drink was much better than what he drank before. It was obvious that Mr. Bai was good at making tea.
.
"Good tea, Xiaoran, where did you get this tea?"
After taking a sip, Mr. Bai closed his eyes and took a deep breath of enjoyment. After a while, he opened his eyes, held the tea cup with two fingers and brought it to his nose to smell it. Suddenly, a fragrance hit his nose, and he couldn't help it.
He praised the tea loudly. He had never tasted this tea before, and it was very different from the tea he drank before...
"This is a friend. By the way, it was specially made by one of Master Miao's juniors using local methods..."
Chen Ran was about to say that it belonged to a friend, but suddenly he remembered that Mr. Bai also knew about Master Miao, so he simply explained it like this.
"It turns out to be Master Miao's special tea..."
Mentioning Master Miao, Mr. Bai was immediately in awe. When Chen Ran said this, he suddenly remembered the relationship between Master Miao and Chen Ran. He knew Master Miao's special treatment of Chen Ran. Although he was curious about Chen Ran and
Master Miao's relationship, but naturally he would not take the liberty to inquire.
Now that we know the special relationship between Master Miao and Chen Ran, it is not surprising that Chen Ran was able to obtain Master Miao's special tea.
"Xiaoran, you are interested..."
Mr. Bai fell in love with this tea after taking a sip. Needless to say how precious this tea was, he was quite happy that Chen Ran could think of him. Putting the tea cup down, he looked at Chen Ran and said with a smile, "Little
Of course, this tea of yours has given me a big surprise. I just wonder if you can give me another surprise because of the good things you said. I am looking forward to it. I have also drank this tea. Please take me with you as soon as possible.
Take out the good things that came and take a look..."
