Lin Muyu turned around and asked, "Have you found it?"

"Shh." Tang Feng suppressed his inner surprise and signaled her to whisper. This stall specializes in ceramic antiques. There were many people watching, and it was quite lively.

These people were watching a pottery that the stall owner called himself the Shang Dynasty celadon Dakouzun. Although Shang Dynasty celadon was called porcelain, it was not a real porcelain, but a pottery. Although porcelain evolved from pottery, there was a clear difference between the two.

One of the differences is that the raw materials for firing are different. Clay is used in pottery, and porcelain is used in porcelain clay. Although ceramics are also used in pottery during the period of ceramic combination, for example, this Shang Dynasty celadon Dakouzun was made of porcelain clay, but this is only early porcelain clay, which contains a large amount of impurities, and the finished product fired is closer to pottery.

The second difference is that the sintering temperature is different. The sintering temperature of porcelain is above 1200 degrees, while the pottery is generally around 1100 degrees.

The third difference is that the light transmittance is different. Porcelain is somewhat light-transmitting, while pottery is not light-transmitting at all. This is the most intuitive way to distinguish ceramics.

The fourth difference is the water absorption rate. Porcelain does not absorb water, and a bowl of water is still there, but pottery absorbs water. Therefore, pottery pots are better than porcelain pots because they are breathable and water-permeable.

There is a formula that distinguishes the value of ceramics from the shape of the instrument, one, two bottles, three jars, four washes, five goblets, six cups, seven plates, eight plates, nine miscellaneous items, ten times look like the shape of the instrument. Zun is the most valuable of all ceramics, and there are many types of Zun. According to the perspective of people today, this big mouth Zun is no different from the spittoons in the hospital.

Tang Feng pretended to be wandering here. He pointed to the pot he was fond of, and asked the stall owner as if nothing had happened: "Boss, can you show me this?"

"Okay!" the stall owner asked without looking back. Just like buying groceries, the stall owner would place high-grade items on one side, low-grade items on one side, and disposal items on one side. Tang Feng's surprise was that the stall owner regarded the clay pot as a disposal item.

Tang Feng reached out to hold the pottery jar in his hand. It was a narrow mouth, thin neck, pointed bottom pottery jar, shaped like a football, and was used by ancient people to get water. The surface of the pot was dark brown, not only old, but also a little mottled. The square patterns on the body of the jar were also faded, but the carvings were very clear. He reached out and touched the inside and outside of the pottery jar, and it felt particularly smooth, and the carvings were even a little shiny.

Tang Feng looked at it for a long time before frowned and said, "Well, this clay pot is a bit bad." Lin Muyu now knew that Tang Feng couldn't say that he wanted it. In order to get a low price, he had to find fault first.

People there are all talking about Shang Dynasty celadon large-mouthed primitive heads. None of them had the hope of buying it. The stall owner was too lazy to waste it with them. He turned around and said to Tang Feng, "I said brother, you get what you pay for. If it is a good thing, would I put it there? Don't look at the pattern of this pottery jar that is unclear and the age is unknown, maybe it is a national treasure-level cultural relic."

The selling point of the stall owner is to pick up bargains. No one who plays with collecting is poor. Spending a small amount of money to gamble may bring unexpected surprises, especially this pottery that cannot even understand the era. However, some cultural relics dealers just understand other people's thoughts on picking up bargains and specialize in making such uncivilized things to fool people.

Tang Feng shook his head and said, "If this earthen jar is considered a cultural relic, it will probably have to wait for hundreds or even thousands of years. However, this earth has the benefits of earth. If this thing is placed at home, the cultural atmosphere at home will be immediately raised. Do you think so?" He also said this to Lin Muyu proudly.

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him, then looked at Lin Muyu, and his eyes showed a look of contempt. People who play collectors generally think they are noble and cultural. What they want is leisure and leisure. Now the national collection is craze, and people are not everyone has started playing and collecting. Just like this, you don’t know anything and have a cultural atmosphere. Don’t you just want to buy this thing to set it at home to bluff people.

"Boss, what is the price of this thing?" Tang Feng would not care about them. He was happy at this time. You should slowly despise me and see who is a local bun who doesn't know anything.

The stall owner said, "If you want it sincerely, I will only offer a real price, 1,680." This price is dark enough, and it is usually the price of six and eight. It is not a big problem to erase the number of numbers behind it.

"Success, 1,688 is 1,688, it's all the way!" Tang Feng accepted the price readily and counted the money quickly to pay the bill.

The stall owner's smile was as bright as seeing his enemy being hit by a car. He took the money and took out a cardboard box, packed the pot and held it with both hands to Tang Feng, and said politely: "Take it, see if I have something else here, are you?"

"Haha, no need." Tang Feng smiled honestly, turned around and said to Lin Muyu, "Let's go."

"Yeah." Lin Muyu nodded with a smile and left with him. Everyone seemed to have a handful of salt in their eyes. Bah, a rich man, is the best, that is, a farmer entrepreneur, who also operates tinfoil.

After walking a long way, Lin Muyu asked, "Looking at how happy you are, what kind of treasure is this?"

Tang Feng held the cardboard box and said with a smile: "This is hard pottery, which belongs to the category of half-ceramic and half-ceramics during the period of excessive ceramics. This pottery is not glazed, but because the temperature is close to 1,200 degrees, the body surface is sintered, producing a glaze similar to glaze, which is academically called natural glaze."

Hard pottery is the first type of pottery that uses porcelain clay to make embryos. Because the pottery making process was limited by productivity at that time, the porcelain clay desorption process was not mature enough, and it contained a large amount of impurities and had a high iron content, so the body color was darker. However, it was the use of porcelain clay that later porcelain was later, and then China's splendid porcelain culture. The problem of iron content has always been a problem that generation after generation of skilled porcelain craftsmen worked hard to overcome. It can be said that the development of porcelain is the process of removing iron from porcelain clay. The higher the iron content, the darker the color of the porcelain, and the purer the color, which is why monochromatic porcelain from ancient times to the present is getting closer and closer to white. It was not until the early Ming Dynasty that the iron content problem was basically solved, and this was the glory of China's porcelain making industry in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Lin Muyu didn't know much about these things, and she was more concerned about her intuitive feelings. She asked, "Then how much is this worth?"
