Hao Huai looked at Li Dun'er with a hint of curiosity and gently opened the newspaper.

It was a red porcelain like an ashtray, and there were three "short legs" slightly bent backwards on the bottom. Hao Huai took the red "ashtray", and naturally he couldn't tell what it was.

"ashtray"

As soon as Hao Huai said, he heard the sound of Li Dun'er lying on the other side of him turning his back on the stool. Hao Huai looked up and Li Dun'er rubbed her butt and just stood up.

"Old Huai, I think you have a good ability to repair that ancient coin. I want to make a living with you." Li Dun'er thought Hao Huai was joking with her, so she was also joking inside and outside.

While Li Dun'er laughed, Tang Fei'er had already taken the "ashtray" and said to herself: "This should be a pen washing, among the four treasures of the study, and the objects used to clean the brush."

As Tang Feier said, pen washing is a utensil in addition to the four treasures of the study. It uses a lot of materials, such as jade, agate, and enamel. Of course, the most common one is "porcelain" pen washing.

"Old Huai, do you see it? You have to say that my sister-in-law has good eyesight." Li Dun'er said, and walked around the table and sat down in Hao Huai's ear, "This is something I got when I fought back."

“Huh…”

Hao Huai was about to speak when he heard a trace of doubt on Tang Feier's face, and he kept looking at the brush's bottom.

"What's wrong?"

When Tang Feier saw Hao Huai ask, she looked up at Li Dun'er who was laughing.

"Girl, just say something if you see it."

Seeing that Li Dun'er had already made it clear, Tang Fei'er said to Hao Huai: "Although I don't know much about porcelain, the bottom of this thing was obviously repaired after it was broken. Look here..."

Hao Huai took the red pen to wash it, took a look, and then showed a proud smile: "Fatty, you want to make friends with me just to ask me to help you fix this wash, right?"

"It's right, not right." After hearing Hao Huai's words, Li Dun'er smiled sincerely: "At the beginning, I did say the same thing as you said, and wanted you to help me repair the brush, but later I saw that you, Lao Huai, is a person who can become a grand person, so being friends with you is even happier than repairing the brush and washing."

After Li Dun'er finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all. For the first time, he felt that he had made a real friend and admired Hao Huai very much.

"Do you know what this thing is?" Hao smiled willy, looked at Li Dun'er and asked him:

"Old bad, I know that you can repair the ancient coins. You must know a lot about antiques. You won't know about this object, right?"

Hao Huai hesitated after hearing Li Dun'er's words. He knew that he didn't understand antiques, but he didn't want to show his timidity in front of anyone. So after thinking about it, he said to Li Dun'er: "Fatty, if you don't understand, you can take me as your teacher and let the master tell you."

"Tsk, how can I not understand this? Let me tell you, Li Dun'er has no other skills. The porcelain of Xiang is pretty good, this is called "underglaze red"."

"Unglaze Red" is a method of decoration of porcelain. This kind of porcelain began in the Yuan Dynasty, flourished in the early Ming Dynasty, matured in Yongxuan, and was proficient in the early Qing Dynasty.

When making porcelain, an environment is needed. The professional term is "atmosphere". Porcelain is fired in a certain atmosphere.

Generally speaking, there are two types of atmospheres: one is oxidation and the other is reduction. Simply put, the furnace opens the fire door and has sufficient oxygen in it, which is called an oxidation atmosphere. When the kiln door is closed and the fire is stuffy, it is called a reduction atmosphere.

Underglaze red is made of copper as the colorant and is fired in the reduction of "atmosphere". Simply put, it is made of a stuffy fire. If the temperature is slightly higher, or a little lower, it will fail immediately. If the temperature is lower, the color will turn black and it will look very bad. If the temperature is higher, the color will fly away and disappear.

The allowable difference between temperatures is about ten degrees. In ancient times, this temperature difference was very difficult to control, and only kiln workers with rich working experience could see it.

Legend has it that the invention of underglaze red porcelain was caused by an accidental coincidence. The story happened in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, a copper smith went to the kiln factory to chat with a craftsman who painted porcelain with copper chips.

The copper smith accidentally shook the copper chips on the undried surface of the molded porcelain. Because the copper chip powder particles are subtle and difficult to observe with the naked eye, they were not discovered and treated by craftsmen when dipping in the glaze.

After entering the kiln, blue and white porcelain was fired at a high temperature of 1,350 degrees, and the copper chips were glued to the atmosphere and fired into a dim red. Fortunately, the temperature requirement for this copper element to be restored to red is almost the same as that of blue and white. In this way, a new variety of underglaze colored porcelain - "blue and white underglaze red" was released.

Later, after investigation, it was found that this red color was caused by the copper chips on the coppersmith's apron.

After hearing Li Dun'er's talk, Hao Huai really thought he was a good candidate for a good right-hand assistant, and he was more determined in his heart to make Li Dun'er lively.

"Okay, you fat man. It turns out that you can't just fight back, but Xiang porcelain is also good too?" After Hao Huai praised Li Dun'er, he thought of the price of this thing and asked casually: "Xing porcelain is good, I wonder what your valuation is?"

"If it is intact, there are about 300,000, but in this situation, three or two thousand may not necessarily be able to take action."

Li Dun'er shook her head helplessly and expressed his purpose, in fact, she hoped that Hao Huai could help repair the "underglaze red pen washing". But he didn't know that Hao Huai's ring was still in the "initialization" stage, and each function could only appear once.

Hao Huai knew the condition of the ring in his heart, so he knew that he had no way to repair the pen washing, but he was not disappointed, but suddenly remembered a way to deal with Wang Laopian, and then he showed a bad smile on his face.

"I have great use of this thing, but it will never be repaired."

"If you don't repair it, how can you sell it for money? If you don't sell it for money, you can't use it for anything." After Li Dun'er said that, she looked at Hao Huai with a smile.

"Fatty, don't talk nonsense." Seeing that Tang Feier blushed, Hao Huai reached out and headed towards Li Dun'er's head.

"I want to use it to deal with Wang Laopian. I'll cheat me for 20,000 yuan. I want him to add a fraction to spit it out." Hao Huai said, and he had already made plans in his heart. He understood that relying on the ring alone was obviously not enough to make him look good in the antiques business. Meaning was the most powerful weapon.

"Old Bad, I know you have a grudge against Mr. Wang, but I have already tricked him with that tooth last time. This time he will never be fooled easily. Moreover, if there is no professional repair of porcelain, it is easy to see that there is something wrong with it."

"Don't worry, as long as you, Li Dun'er, trust me and ask me to operate this pen to wash, I will naturally think of a solution."

Li Dun'er's words make a lot of sense, but Hao Huai will never change his mind easily. As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain, and the water will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge. There will always be a way. When talking, Hao Huai kept observing Li Dun'er's face.

Li Dun'er looked at Hao Huai with a smile on his face. After a while, he laughed and slapped his hands at the table, and said with a strong force: "Old Huai, my buddy will be with you in this life."

Li Dun'er reached out to Hao Huai on the side, and the latter showed a gratified smile.

"Remember, it's not a buddy, but a brother." After saying that, Hao Huai also smiled and reached out to Li Dun'er.

"Haha..." Li Dun'er tightly covered Hao Huai's hand and laughed: "That's right, look at my memory. If I become your old 'buddy', I, Li Dun'er, will suffer."

Hao Huai was not playing with Li Dun'er, but was playing with wine seriously, and the room was filled with laughter and joy. But after a long time, Hao Huai no longer felt anything. He only knew that he was being carried onto a very soft mattress, and then vomited for a long time.

"The head hurts so much!"
