"Why leave the nearest and far away..."

Cao Xiang's words proved that Pi Qiushi did not lie and that his character was indeed good. Generally speaking, when business comes, not many people are willing to push it out.

However, this question is a bit difficult to answer. When Wang Guan thought carefully, Pi Qiushi reacted quickly and smiled and said, "Third Brother, it's not that I don't want to do this business, but mainly because the things he wants are not in stock in my store. I thought that there was a while since I saw my third brother, so I just brought people here. Anyway, they are all acquaintances, and it's the same whoever buys and sells them."

"Good brother, loyal enough."

Cao Xiang looked at his eyelids and looked a little clear in his eyes. Naturally, he understood that naughty is helping him. Otherwise, he would just call him and deliver the goods. Why should he bring someone to visit him? The purpose of this is nothing more than to get him to know more customers and contact him directly if he needs them in the future.

Pi Qiushi's current behavior is just a simple act, but in the eyes of normal businessmen, it is clearly a killing chicken to get eggs, which is not worth the loss. In fact, friends who are not close friends will definitely not do such things.

A very simple and easy-to-understand truth. Have you ever seen someone take customers to see suppliers? This is equivalent to direct sales from the manufacturer, until it is delivered to the customer. There is a missing link. Is there any need for middlemen to exist?

"What kind of goods do you want?"

Cao Xiang was a little moved and chuckled, "You don't have one in the store, I guess I don't have many of them."

"You must have it."

Pi Qiushi smiled and said, "He wants to buy something from Cizhou kiln, preferably from the Song and Jin Dynasties."

"That's right." Wang Guan nodded slightly.

Generally speaking, porcelain is definitely the easiest thing for official kilns to produce good things, but in fact, there are also many excellent works for folk kilns. However, Cizhou kilns located in Ci County, Handan are the largest folk kiln system in the north in ancient times.

Although it belongs to the system of folk kilns, Cizhou kilns also have a long history. They were first created in the Northern Song Dynasty and reached the peak of their prosperity. Then they continued, and they still had workshops after the Southern Song Dynasty, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Don’t think that the things in the folk kiln must be worse than those in the official kiln. In fact, in ancient times, Cizhou kiln had a great influence. Almost all over the north, a large number of porcelains similar to Cizhou kiln styles were fired, and it was in a hidden monopoly position.

Although such things are very common among the people due to large quantities of fire, after nearly a thousand years of changes in the world, many ancient porcelains are unlikely to be preserved intact until now. Therefore, if you find a Cizhou kiln porcelain from the Song and Jin Dynasties with good quality, complete shape and no deglazing, it is also a treasure that collectors cannot seek.

So when I heard the request, Cao Xiang couldn't help but shake his head: "It's really hard to deal with. Don't talk about such things, I don't have any ready-made ones on hand."

If there is no ready-made one, it means there is a way to get it or it is clear where it is.

Wang Guan could naturally hear this implicit sound, and immediately smiled: "The third brother said this, there must be such a trick. Please help me pull a fiber and build a thread. Don't worry, I still understand the principle of three or two."

"Hey, this is a pity." Cao Xiang waved his hand and said, "Since you are friends with Qiushi, then everyone is not an outsider. Don't be too particular about the small matter. Just take the time to treat me to a meal and have a drink."

"That's right, the third brother is a cheerful person, don't be too polite."

At the same time, Pi Qiushi smiled and said, "Third Brother, I'll ask you for this."

"Um."

Cao Xiang nodded slightly, pondered for a while and said with a smile: "I'll call and ask..."

While he was talking, he took out his cell phone and stood up and walked towards the balcony. Then he made two or three calls in a row. After five or six minutes, he walked back with a smile: "Little brother, you are lucky. I know someone. There are a few such things in his family. I asked him to bring them directly."

"Thank you, Brother Third." Wang Guan said happily. From this incident, we can see that Cao Xiang is indeed very connected and has some prestige. In the antique shop, if a collector wants to buy something, he must come to the house by himself. Unless it is Baofuzhai, otherwise, most people are rarely willing to bring things to the house.

After all, bringing things to your door is just an intention, and you may not be able to buy them. Of course, it is best to buy them. If you don’t want to buy them, you have to take them back. Running around like this is also a troublesome thing after all.

In other words, it is just for Cao Xiang's sake that others are willing to come. Wang Guan knew this very well, and his impressions naturally rose.

Next, a few people drank tea and continued to chat and laugh. Soon after, someone below shouted loudly: "Third Brother, I'm here."

"The person is here."

Cao Xiang smiled when he heard the sound, signaled a little to the few people, and went down to open the door to welcome the guests.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pi Qiushi laughed in a low voice: "Brother, how do you feel?"

"It's pretty good." Wang Guan smiled, not hiding his favorable feelings.

"Haha, as long as you are satisfied." Pi Qiushi chuckled, "However, it can be seen that he has a somewhat doubtful look about your ability. So don't hide his weakness later, at least let him understand your strength, so that it will be easier to talk about."

"Brother Pi, don't worry, I understand this." Wang Guan chuckled and understood Pi Qiushi's meaning. People with abilities are somewhat arrogant. Besides, he is relatively young. If he doesn't show some real skills, even if Cao Xiang wants to agree to his employment, he may simply refuse due to psychological disorders.

"Don't worry, Brother Pi, it's okay."

At the same time, Yu Feibai smiled and said, "If Wang Guan doesn't work, isn't there me? If I'm going to do it, it will definitely be done in minutes..."

"They are doing serious business, so you don't make trouble around you." Xu Qing rolled her eyes and said, "I think you are just trying to show off."

At this moment, Yu Feibai immediately held her hand and said affectionately: "Sure enough, you know me the best. You really have a good understanding of me!"

"Shaped!" Xu Qing sighed helplessly, but there was a little slight tilt on the corner of her mouth.

While the two were flirting, Cao Xiang also led the guest up. Everyone looked at it and saw that the guest was a young man in his thirties, with a strong figure, flat position, and very capable. His dark skin made his teeth look white when he smiled, and even shone with a bright light under the light.

Overall, the guests gave everyone a healthy and sunny impression. However, for some reason, Wang Guan vaguely sensed a bit of danger on him.

"Maybe it's an illusion."

Wang Guan thought to himself, and then stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"I'll get to know this person, this person is Guan Yang." At this time, Cao Xiang smiled and said, "Guan Yu's Guan Yang was proud. Maybe two thousand years ago, or it was Guan Yu's family."

"The third brother was joking." Guan Yang said with a bright smile: "I dare not catch up with relatives, so as not to blame Mr. Guan Er."

"Hello, Mr. Guan."

At this time, Wang Guan greeted you kindly and his eyes fell on the backpack behind Guan Yang.

"Hello." Guan Yang's eyes were also a little surprised, and he subconsciously glanced at Pi Qiushi next to him. He thought it was him who wanted to buy something, but he didn't expect it was Wang Guan.

"Guan Yang." Cao Xiang smiled and signaled: "Please take the things."

"good."

Guan Yang nodded, immediately opened his backpack and placed the things on the table carefully.

Anyway, it’s already here, no matter who buys it, as long as the business can be successful, why bother paying attention to anything else? Besides, even if the business is not successful, Guan Yang believes that Cao Xiang will not let him go for nothing.

Wang Guan looked at it carefully and saw that Guan Yang put out five or six items, which were obviously objects from Cizhou Kiln. In fact, the things from Cizhou Kiln are very easy to identify. They are a large kiln system with unique style and very typical characteristics.

Generally speaking, as long as you see white, black and brown painted, decorative porcelain with ink painting style, you can guess it will be almost the same as Cizhou Kiln.

Of course, after all, it is a work of a folk kiln, and it is naturally targeted at ordinary people, so most of the things produced are daily utensils such as plates, bowls, plates, spoons. Now the five or six items that Guan Yang has put out belong to these utensils. However, one of them is more eye-catching.

"Then I'm not polite."

At this time, Wang Guan smiled, then approached the table and looked at it. He picked up two plates and three bowls with his hands, looked at it casually and then put it down, and then focused on watching the more conspicuous thing.

It was a plum vase with a gray background and the bottle was covered with black and brown floral patterns.

The so-called plum vase is a bottle style with a small mouth, short neck, plump shoulders, thin bottom, and round feet. It is named after the small mouth and can only be inserted into plum branches. However, in the Song Dynasty, it was called a scripture bottle, which was used as a utensil. Because it was quite stylish and pretty, it was simply used as a vase in the Ming Dynasty.

This type of bottle was very popular in the Song and Liao dynasties. It was not only popular with princes and nobles, but also appeared among ordinary people. As the largest folk kiln in the north, Cizhou kiln would definitely not ignore the firing of such objects.

In addition, as a folk kiln, the biggest feature is that it rarely writes. However, when Wang Guan looked at the plum vase, he was surprised to find that there were words written on the bottle.

"Qinggu fine wine, drunken wine in the countryside."

Seeing the eight words on the bottle, Wang Guan couldn't help but smile and said, "I heard that the people in the Song Dynasty were filled with advertisements, but now I finally saw it."

"Is this an ancient small advertisement?"

At the same time, Yu Feibai couldn't help but walk lightly to observe and said, "So, the things should be specially customized by a folk winery."

"Um."

Wang Guan nodded in agreement, then weighed the plum vase, feeling the weight and gravity characteristics.

Of course, the most important thing is to feel the internal situation of the plum bottle. You should know that although the plum bottle is beautiful, its function is to hold wine at the beginning. Therefore, the upper part of the bottle is large and the lower part is narrow and thin, so the center of gravity is high, so it is easy to fall in love during daily use.

Moreover, in order to keep the bottle stable, the manufacturer often cleverly thickens the lower part of the bottle when forming the bottle, so that the bottom foot is thick and not easy to knock down... Everything fully demonstrates that the plum bottle has very practical functions.
