"Brother, I really didn't pay attention to the mechanism just now. It's really interesting now that I've seen it, but I want to ask, where did you get this purple clay teapot? Is there anyone still making this now?"
Wang Ding could see that although the mechanism of this purple clay teapot was sophisticated, it was not an antique.
"Yes, it's so magical." Wang Lingling also squatted down with some interest and asked the stall owner curiously. For this little girl, such a purple clay pot is indeed new.
However, Wang Ding knew that although the manufacturing process of the rotating kettle was exquisite, modern technology had already cracked this ingenuity. The common hot and cold water mixing faucets in ordinary households were made based on the principle of the rotating kettle.
But Wang Ding’s question is: In this era, there are still craftsmen making such things. And even if you want to make a toy, you should also make a wine pot to hold two types of wine. How do you make a teapot?
When the stall owner heard Wang Ding ask him, his face turned slightly red for no reason. Fortunately, his skin was already dark and he was not worried about others finding out. But he still said angrily: "I didn't buy this pot from a bargain. Do you want this?"
A pot?".
Wang Ding saw that the elder brother was quite impatient, so he smiled and joked: "Brother, you didn't buy this pot, did you make it yourself?".
"I just did it myself, right?"
The black-faced stall owner looked a little ugly when Wang Ding said that. He immediately became angry and said angrily: "Don't just let it go and return the pot to me."
After saying that, the stall owner reached out and snatched the purple clay pot from Wang Ding's hand. With such lightning speed, Wang Ding was stunned.
"Crack!" There was a crisp sound.
Everyone around was stunned. The purple clay pot that was snatched back by the black-faced stall owner was not grasped by the big brother, and it instantly fell to the ground and broke into countless pieces of different sizes.
"ah!".
Wang Ding and Wang Lingling looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do next. The purple clay pot came out of their own hands. Although the big brother snatched it away, Wang Ding was really responsible.
After a long while, Wang Ding said embarrassedly: "Well, brother, I didn't pay close attention at the time. As soon as you snatched it away, it fell. How about this and we compensate you for some losses?".
It sounds like Wang Ding wants to pay, but Big Brother is very determined.
"No, I accidentally broke this purple clay teapot. I don't need you to pay for it."
The stall owner's words once again surprised Wang Ding. In fact, Wang Ding knew that there was "touching porcelain" in the collecting circle. The so-called touching porcelain was the situation just now, where the stall owner would take the opportunity to extort some money from customers. If that was the case, say
Maybe he really wouldn’t give it. But Big Brother’s words immediately made Wang Ding feel uncomfortable. He really didn’t know where he was coming from.
And Wang Lingling was also a top-notch person at this time, unable to figure things out. Think about it, there are sneaky and sneaky people doing business outside, and there are such a straight-forward person like Big Brother, who is now a
It is a rare breed and is rarely seen.
"Brother, I think it's better for me to compensate you. Can you tell me the real price of this purple clay teapot? I'll compensate you according to the bill. It's not easy to do business when you're away from home."
Wang Ding continued to ask for compensation. The black-faced stall owner looked at the remains of the purple clay pot that was broken on the ground, and couldn't help but feel a little moved. "Really, are you really going to compensate me?"
"Of course, if I hadn't grabbed your pot and wouldn't have let go, you wouldn't have lost your balance and dropped the purple clay pot. I have a responsibility and I have to bear it."
"Ahem." The black-faced stall owner sighed helplessly. He muttered in his mouth first, and then said with great effort: "Brother, what happened today is mainly because of my own fault. I want your money."
I'm really sorry. How about you, just give me five hundred yuan, and I'll take care of the rest, is that okay?"
"five hundred?"
Wang Ding felt that this should be very close to the big brother's base price. "Okay, I'll give you five hundred."
Pulling out his wallet, Wang Ding counted out five red bills and handed them to the stall owner casually. "Here you go!"
After paying the money to the stall owner, Wang Ding stood up with a smile and said to his sister Lingling: "Lingling, you must learn to read people in the future. This elder brother, I think he is not a slippery person, so I am willing to give him the money today."
Giving him money doesn't mean you have to do it to everyone."
"Yes." Wang Lingling nodded with great benefit, fully agreeing with her brother's point of view.
After speaking, Wang Ding continued to look at the black-faced stall owner, "Brother, to be honest, I always feel that you don't look like a businessman. Maybe my feeling is wrong. But in short, I can meet big brother at this stall today.
It can be regarded as a kind of fate. Here is my phone number. Please accept this piece of paper and keep in touch with me. As for this broken pot, just scan it yourself and we will go to other places."
Wang Ding quickly wrote down a series of numbers with a pen. Wang Lingling couldn't figure out why her brother wanted to leave a number for this stall owner.
"etc."
After the stall owner put away the number, he immediately called Wang Ding. "Two bosses, did you like the pot just now?"
Wang Ding just turned around and hadn't left yet. Hearing the stall owner's words, he immediately turned around and smiled with satisfaction: "I can't say I like it very much. I just saw that the purple clay pot is made with good craftsmanship and looks exquisite and unique. If I say I like it, I am
I think the person who made this pot is very unusual. Why would he make such a gadget? I admire that person."
"Oh, so that's it?"
The black-faced stall owner's face was obviously a little red. In an instant, he showed a slightly complicated expression, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Actually, I made that pot myself. To be honest, I didn't
Material for doing business. Because I have some skills and know how to make pots, I set up a stall.
Normally, it’s my wife who sells things. She has something to do today, so I set out to sell things. Brother, you are right, I just charged you five hundred yuan, and now I still feel that it is too hot. You are a friend worth keeping with, if
If you insist on not taking back the money, I will help you make another pot like this."
"Did you make that purple clay pot just now?".
Wang Lingling seemed to know why her brother was so enthusiastic about this stall owner, and Wang Lingling's surprise and Wang Ding's calmness just illustrated this point.
Wang Ding was indeed interested. Big Brother really had some skills, which indeed coincided with Wang Ding's guess. The craftsmanship of making this pot was not simple. Wang Ding was immediately curious about Big Brother's craftsmanship and technology.
"Brother, making a pot like this is secondary. In fact, I want to see with my own eyes how you make this thing. I know that the making process of this rotating pot looks simple, but now I know this craft
There are not many people left. It seems that except for the few national masters in the porcelain capital, I have never heard of anyone else making such a thing?"
"Are you doubting yourself?".
The black-faced stall owner said anxiously: "If you don't believe it, if you don't believe it, go to my house and I'll pour grout and make an embryo, and I'll make one for you right away."
Wang Ding finally figured it out. This stall owner was a straight-tempered person who couldn't stand being provoked. Or if he said something carelessly, he would be affected by mood swings.
"I'm not doubting it. Look at how impatient you are, brother."
"Hehe." The elder brother was also shy. After a pause, he explained: "I just have a short temper. But the purple clay pot just now was indeed made by me. It is a craft passed down from my ancestors. It is in the family tree.
I still remember that my great-grandfather made teapots for the imperial palace."
"Ouch! Then this is a standard national level master. What is this for you now?".
Wang Ding saw that the stall owner was in really bad shape.
The stall owner looked around embarrassedly. The disturbance of throwing pots just now had passed. The nearby stalls were also crowded with people looking at various objects. No one noticed them doing nothing at all.
of chatting.
The stall owner then said with a guilty conscience: "I have been working in Jingdezhen Town for many years. The business was still booming a few years ago, so I opened a small shop in partnership with my old colleagues to sell our own products.
. But who would have thought that this purple clay pot was sold, but we didn’t know how to manage it, so we couldn’t get back the money after the pot was sold. After that, the business of the small shop naturally couldn’t continue. It just so happened that my mother-in-law
It's Gan
People in the city have been clamoring to return to their hometown a few years ago. I haven't found any good way out now, so I can only sell the various purple clay pots I made before to make some money. To be honest, now I am in the most embarrassing moment.
, If I had the funds in hand, I really want to open another store. Nowadays, the market for antique porcelain is getting bigger and bigger, and the purchasing power is increasing. It is a good way out. As long as it is managed properly, making money is stable."
"Open a store?"
When Wang Ding heard the words of the people who came over, his heart suddenly twisted. Yes, there are some people who cannot build a store because they have no funds and no skills. But he just happens to have money in his hands.
If you partner with this big brother to open a store and run it well, you may have a lot of future. But staying in Guxiangzhai may be useful in the short term and you can learn something, but it is not a long-term solution.
For the first time, Wang Ding had plans to establish an independent branch, but now, is it the right time?
