Chapter 166 Tang Four, Five Five, Song Six

The two warehouse management staff led Li Mo and walked inside. The third warehouse was filled with sundries, including banners, vertical signs, isolation tapes, etc., which were all used daily by the school.

After passing through this warehouse, we arrived at the fourth warehouse. From a glance, most of the things here are dilapidated and should be ready for elimination.

"Teacher, is this Beijing University warehouse connected by several houses in the past? Why is it so long?"

"Who are we teachers? Just call me Sister Wang. This is Brother Hou."

"Brother Monkey?"

Li Mo thinks this name is a bit interesting.

"I am a noble prince, but people who have known me for a long time call me Brother Monkey, and some relatives and friends directly call me Sun Dasheng. Anyway, they are used to it, and I am used to it, so I think it is very kind."

Brother Hou must be in his fifties, he is fat, and he is no match for Sun Dasheng.

Li Mo smiled and said, "Sister Wang, Brother Hou, did you purchase everything in this warehouse?"

"Yes, we will sort it out regularly. If we find that something is seriously damaged, we will report the damage in time. Then the logistics department will audit and verify it before placing a purchase order."

"Where do you usually purchase those porcelains? For example, the Ming Hongwu underglaze red jade pot spring vase, the mid-Qing Dynasty imitation Ming Yongle blue vase, and the large red and gold vase, three of which were selected out of hundreds.

, and there is another piece that can be called a national treasure, so I’m a little curious, please tell me about it.”

"How do we know so much? We just go to some flea markets, Liulichang, Panjiayuan and some old streets. Sometimes we can bargain for a uniform price if we buy too much. Anyway, the overall average is a few hundred yuan each."

When Sister Wang said this, she glanced at Li Mo and asked in a low voice, "That genuine Hongwu underglaze red product from the Ming Dynasty is really worth 150 million?"

"At least at this price, the Jinling Museum even collects fragments of red-glazed porcelain, so you can imagine its value. Sister Wang, do you still remember where you found it?"

"After we heard the news from outside, we also checked the purchase records. We bought it at an antique festival in Panjiayuan. It was almost four years ago, so we can't remember the specific details."

It seems that there are a lot of good things at the Antiques Festival. Last time at the Liulichang Antiques Festival, he found "The Humble Room Inscription" by Zhu Zhishan, the best in the Ming Dynasty, and the Great Five Emperors' Money. It seems that if he has time, he should go to two more old streets.

Go shopping and you might be able to pick up another big one.

Li Mo walked to a row of two-story shelves. The porcelain that was about to be eliminated were all placed here. At first glance, they were all damaged. Some of them were broken into several pieces and gathered together with packaging bags, and some were broken.

Some of them were knocked off, resulting in gaps, which could easily cause scratches if not careful, so they were about to be eliminated.

The eyes of the strange pupils glanced over. He walked forward along the shelves, and suddenly a red halo came out. Li Mo stopped and walked in to take a look. It was a piece of porcelain wrapped in a plastic bag. Don't worry, it must have been broken.

.

He took the plastic bag off the shelf and opened it. There were more than ten pieces, which looked like a bowl.

"Sister Wang, do you have any transparent tape?"

"Yes, I'll get it right away."

After Sister Wang left, Brother Hou walked to her side, knelt down, looked at it for a few times and said, "Is this broken bowl an antique too?"

"It looks a bit similar from the pieces. I'll take a closer look after it's put together."

A few minutes later, Sister Wang came back with the tape, and Director You and Professor Zhang also came over. They heard on the way that it was the tape that Li Mo asked for, and they probably found something in the porcelain that was about to be processed.

It's so sad that even the original product has been damaged.

Director You also squatted aside and looked at the more than ten fragments in the bag, feeling chilled in his heart.

Now the news of the authentic Hongwu underglaze red product from the Ming Dynasty is widely spread on the campus of Peking University. The news is getting more and more popular. Several university leaders have even called to inquire about the matter, and the superior departments have called one after another to verify it.

In the end, the leader of Peking University only said: "This was identified by Li Mo, a student of our school."

Then the phone finally went silent, which showed that Li Mo already had a certain reputation among the upper class.

When such people find these fragments, it is obvious that if the porcelain is intact, it must be an authentic antique.

Li Mo searched for it, picked up the two pieces and put them together.

"Sister Wang, use tape to stick it on first."

The two of them worked together and soon a complete bowl was put together.

When Li Mo shined a flashlight, the surface of the bowl suddenly glowed with a green luster, and there were dragon patterns on the bottom of the bowl.

"Dragon pattern, is this from the royal family?"

Director You and Professor Zhang couldn't calm down anymore. As long as the porcelain patterns fired in history involve dragon patterns, they are 100% related to the royal family. Now it depends on which dynasty this bowl is from.

"Judging from the shape, this is a sunflower-mouthed dish." Li Mo said firmly at this time, "This is a Tang Dynasty green-glazed dragon pattern with a four-pronged sunflower-mouthed dish."

“How can you tell it’s from the Tang Dynasty?”

Director You was not good at identifying antiques, so he asked casually.

"There is a saying about the shape of the sunflower plate called Tang Si, Wu Wu, and Song Liu. This means that the paper burning sunflower plate in the Tang Dynasty had four openings. In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms it became five openings, and in the Song Dynasty it became six openings.

.”

"The most famous six-cup sunflower dish in the Song Dynasty is the 'golden iron wire' fired by Ge Kiln. If it is authentic, it is worth millions. The four-cup sunflower dish in the Tang Dynasty is much cheaper, but the one in my hand has a dragon.

The pattern is from the imperial palace, so it would be valuable if it were intact, but unfortunately it has been broken into more than ten pieces."

Li Mo handed the assembled green glaze dragon pattern sunflower mouth plate to Professor Zhang.

"Although this Kui Kou plate is broken, there are no missing pieces, so it can be restored. Find a porcelain restorer to repair it. It is still a very good Tang Dynasty antique that can be displayed."

"Okay, we do know a restoration expert in this field. We will arrange it later."

Professor Zhang held the assembled sunflower dish with a look of regret on his face. It was not because the value was low that he felt sorry, but because as experts in history, they all have a very special emotion towards these ancient relics.

.In a certain sense, they reflect the national strength, national conditions and citizens at that time, giving them a special connotation.

Nothing of value was found among the remaining damaged porcelain. They were all modern handicrafts, and some were so shoddily made that they were terrible to look at.

"Director You, I was able to pick up several treasures in the warehouse. It's all thanks to Sister Wang and Brother Hou. They all got them through their hands. Not to mention anything else, just this Tang Dynasty Dragon Pattern Kui Kou

Even though the plate was broken, it was still intact, which shows that their usual work attitude is really conscientious."

Director You couldn't help but hear what was going on. This was all a trivial matter to him. A smile suddenly appeared on his face and he said: "The school will have individual rewards for those who have made meritorious deeds."

What he meant was, 'You, Li Mo, have also made such great contributions, and you will also have a share of the rewards.'

Li Mo didn't care about those awards, but he thought of the overly enthusiastic senior and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Actually, that guy from the sports academy also made great contributions. If he hadn't been so enthusiastic and brought me to the lecture theater,

There’s nothing like that later.”
