The stall owner finally came to his senses and hurriedly took the bank card and swiped it on his POS machine. After confirming that the payment was received, he handed the bank card and teapot to Yang Xiaoyun.
Le couldn't close his mouth, because he knew that his teapot was not a treasure at all, it was just used to fool people.
Yang Xiaoyun walked to Zhang Yuan with a teapot and whispered.
"Now you can talk about the mystery of this teapot. Let me tell you, if you make a mistake this time, it will be very embarrassing and both of us will become fools!"
"Do not worry."
Zhang Yuan said dumbfounded, then took the teapot and said.
"You all think this teapot is rubbish. Indeed, it looks very ugly now, but it is not difficult to see from its shape and style that it is a product of the early Qing Dynasty. To be more precise, it is an object from the Yongzheng period.
.”
"If you look carefully at the details of its craftsmanship, it is not the kind of folk object that can be found. Even those princes are not qualified to use it, so it should be something from the imperial palace."
Everyone present was stunned for a moment.
But Hu Jinquan was not so easy to believe. He immediately said with a sneer.
"Blow, keep blowing, why don't you say this is what the Jade Emperor used to drink tea?"
Zhang Yuan did not avoid the other party this time but directly walked up to him and spoke.
"Since you don't believe it, do you dare to bet with me?"
Hu Jinquan was not afraid of Zhang Yuan in the first place, not to mention that the other party actually said the words "dare you dare". In front of Yang Xiaoyun and so many people, he naturally would not give in and asked directly.
"How to bet?"
Zhang Yuan said.
"If I can prove what I say, then you will give me one million."
"If I can't prove it, then I'll give you one million."
Hu Jinquan immediately slapped the case and said.
"Okay, then just do what you said and start proving it."
Naturally, he didn't believe that Zhang Yuan could prove that this broken mud teapot was an object from the Qing Dynasty palace. In his opinion, it was like a million falling from the sky, so he had no reason not to accept it.
Besides, it's also a good opportunity to deal with the other party!
"Take your knife and use it."
Then Zhang Yuan took a small knife from the stall owner, pressed it against the gap between the lid and the body of the pot, and pried it hard.
"Click."
The lid and body of the pot suddenly separated, and the yellow-gray soil powder fell down.
It was only then that everyone realized that this teapot was really not made of clay, at least the lid and body could really be separated.
Seeing the surprised looks in everyone's eyes, Hu Jinquan said in a disdainful voice.
"You just prove that it is indeed a teapot."
Zhang Yuan ignored it and gently tapped the body of the pot with a knife. After a while, cracks appeared on the body of the pot.
As he kept banging, the cracks gradually spread, and finally covered the entire pot like a spider web.
Everyone was full of doubts and didn't understand why Zhang Yuan wanted to break this pot. Although it looked like a rag, it had just been bought for 50,000 yuan, and he clearly said it was a treasure.
With the last blow, the pot collapsed and countless pieces of mud fell down.
But not as everyone expected, the whole pot shattered.
But the original face of the teapot finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It turned out that the so-called mud embryo was really just a layer of mud covering the surface of the teapot.
Because it has become one with the pot itself due to its age, it looks that embarrassing.
After seeing Qi Feng, everyone was immediately astonished by it. The body of the pot was completely black and purple. It was obviously a purple clay pot. The lines on it were slender but lifelike, obviously not ordinary.
The stall owner on the side was shocked when he saw this. He never expected that this broken clay pot was actually a treasure.
Hu Jinquan was also shocked when he saw this, but he quickly recovered and said firmly.
"Even if this is the case, it doesn't prove that it was used by Yongzheng. The bet we made proves that it was used by Yongzheng."
Before Zhang Yuan could answer, a voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"Your Hu family really has no successors. Can't you tell that you've already reached this level? Or are you pretending to be stupid on purpose?"
Hu Jinquan suddenly became furious and turned his head to curse angrily, but after seeing the person clearly, he immediately suppressed his words.
I saw an old man with gray hair walking out of the crowd, and everyone exclaimed.
"Mr. Xu, it's Mr. Xu!"
"I didn't expect Mr. Xu to come too!"
"Who is Mr. Xu?"
"You don't even know Mr. Xu, how can you have the nerve to say that you are in the antique circle? Mr. Xu is an appraisal expert in the antique street, and the conclusion he gave is decisive!"
…
Zhang Yuan only knew Mr. Xu's name, but had never met him before. Only then did he realize that he was a somewhat serious old man.
What he didn't expect was that Mr. Xu came straight towards him. When he arrived, he said with a smile.
"Boy, you have such good eyesight. I was blinded by you, but I didn't expect you could still see it."
"Xu Laomiao praised it."
Zhang Yuan was still a little flattered by being praised by such a master-level figure.
"No need to be humble."
Mr. Xu patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder, then turned his head and said to Hu Jinquan with a cold face.
"Boy, you can even see this. You should go back and study hard. Don't embarrass the Hu family by coming out."
When Hu Jinquan heard that Mr. Xu was angry and dared not speak out because of his prestige in the industry, he could only lower his head and say yes repeatedly.
Then Mr. Xu turned around and asked everyone.
"How can you tell that this pot was used by Yongzheng?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment and then realized that Mr. Xu had confirmed the history of this pot. Of course, he also wanted to know the mystery, so they asked.
"have no idea."
But I didn't expect Mr. Xu to not follow the routine at all and said coldly.
"Then go back and replenish your knowledge. You don't even know this, but you still have the nerve to hang out in the antique world. You don't have any shame."
Everyone was stunned and did not dare to say a word, so they could only praise Zhang Yuan.
"Mr. Zhang has really good eyesight, he can tell you all this."
"I think Mr. Zhang will become the second Mr. Xu in time."
"We were rude just now, Mr. Zhang, please don't be offended."
…
After hearing these words, Hu Jinquan felt the most uncomfortable. After being slapped in the face, he immediately wanted to leave quietly.
But at this moment, Mr. Xu suddenly called out to him.
"That boy from the Hu family! Where are you going? The bet you made with me hasn't been fulfilled yet. Do you want to run away?"
Hu Jinquan suddenly froze on the spot, embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to slip in. It was only one million. It wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but he just didn't want to give it to Zhang Yuan, let alone admit that he had lost.
