As a kiln owner, Gao Dequan naturally understands the production situation of kiln factory.

Every time you open a kiln and burn porcelain, it is impossible to burn all 100%, and there must be some damage. After all, there was no saying in ancient times that waste materials were recycled. These damaged porcelains would definitely not be sold, so they would naturally be smashed on the spot, and then they were greedy for trouble and digging holes near the kiln factory to bury them.

However, Yu Feibai was not interested in the damaged porcelain pieces. Even though he knew about this, he had no intention of turning back and digging the pit. He just took a quick look at his gains.

There is no need to say much about the messy tools in a few large wooden boxes, and you can just ignore them. The key is those jars and jars. If you don’t get the money back, it depends on the value of these things.

"Hey, the thing is quite heavy."

At this time, Yu Feibai held up a jar, but suddenly felt a squeezing hand. In addition, unlike wooden boxes without lids, these jars were sealed, and the heavy weight surprised everyone.

"Hehe, it's not a jar of gold and silver." Yu Feibai guessed and his spirits were also boosted.

"Stop having unreliable daydreaming."

Wang Guan wiped off the dust on the surface of the jar, carefully looked at the luster of the body, and immediately smiled: "This is black pottery, with a color as dark as ink, very pure and deep, and should be more valuable."

Generally speaking, the price of pottery is definitely not as good as porcelain, but it does not mean that pottery is not valuable. On the contrary, some fine pottery is not cheap in the market and is also very popular among collectors.

Of course, Yu Feibai is not concerned about the price of the pottery jar now, but wants to know what is contained in the jar.

Facts have proved that gold and silver must be just delusions. The moment he opened the cover of the altar, Yu Fei's face suddenly showed disappointment: "It's actually mud and sand."

"Silt and sand?"

Wang Guan was also a little surprised. When he looked closer, he found that Yu Feibai was right. The jar was indeed fine. It was indeed fine gravel. I just didn’t know why it was so careful to store it. Is it just a prank?

However, the two of them didn't know the goods, but there was a discerning person present. At this time, Gao Dequan took a look and said in surprise: "Cobalt mine!"

"What?"

Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were stunned. They naturally understood what cobalt ore was, which was the blue and white material used to fire porcelain. Unexpectedly, they found such a thing in the kiln. Of course, if you think about it carefully, since the kiln is porcelain-fired, it is normal to use some of the remaining blue and white material, and it is not worth making a fuss.

However, Gao Dequan seemed a little excited. He reached out to grab the jar and grabbed a handful of gravel. He saw that the gray-black gravel actually flashed in the sunlight with a little blue glass light.

"It's really Su Maliqing."

At this time, Gao Dequan said in surprise: "Have you dug up the ancient kiln in the Ming Dynasty?"

No wonder Gao Dequan doubted so much. After all, it is well known that Su Maliqing was the cobalt material brought back from the Islamic region by Zheng He, the eunuch of Sanbao during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, who voyages seven times to the West and went back to the Islamic region. However, these cobalt materials were used up during the Chenghua period, so they switched to the green materials, and then they directly used domestic materials.

Anyway, in history, Su Maliqing has been used for a period of time. Since it is an ancient kiln, it must be the kiln in the early Ming Dynasty. After all, in that period, Su Maliqing was used for both official kilns and private kilns. That was the social aesthetic trend at that time. If this kind of cobalt material was not used, then no one would buy the porcelain made.

"So what if Su Maliqing is." However, Yu Feibai was not very happy and said listlessly: "This kind of thing may be valuable in ancient times, but not very rare in modern times. You can use it for you."

This is true. In ancient times, due to traffic conditions, Su Maliqing was used up and it would be difficult to import another batch. But now even if it is tens of millions of miles apart, as long as you give money, they will pack it up and ship it to you. Therefore, Su Maliqing, which was very rare after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, is no longer a rare thing now.

To put it bluntly, perhaps these cobalt materials are not as valuable as the jars that are in stock.

"That's true, then thank you." Gao Dequan smiled and opened the jars one by one. After finding that there were the same cobalt materials inside, he accepted them without hesitation. Of course, the cobalt materials can be collected, and the jars must be returned to Yu Feibai. Otherwise, he would have lost all his money to bet on the kiln.

At the right time, Gao Dequan found a big bag and asked someone to pour the cobalt material from the jar into it.

"Huh, what?"

One jar, two jars, three jars... Seven jars, eight jars... When the eighth jar arrived, an employee had just poured half of the cobalt material, and a small package fell out.

As the road turned around, the willows and flowers were bright. Yu Feibai rushed over immediately, reached out to pull out the package, and looked carefully, but he saw that the package was actually an ancient treasure bag. It was hard inside and had a little edge and a little angular. I didn't know what it was. At this time, he did not hesitate, and pulled the treasure bag open, then poured it out, and then a few pokes fell out.

A stamp is a seal, but unlike the seals stamped on silk paper, these stamps are stamped on ceramics. You can often see very clear marks on purple clay teapots or other ceramics. In fact, it is not the result of craftsmen carving with knives, but the masterpieces of these stamps.

"What, it's a worthless thing." After Gao Dequan learned about the effects of these pokes, Yu Feibai was naturally even more disappointed and threw the things to Wang Guan for research.

Wang Guan picked up the things and looked at them. He found that the poke was made of wood, so Yu Feibai was so disrespectful. In addition, it can be seen that the poke must have been useless for a long time. The poke surface was covered with clay and the seal was very blurred.

At this time, Wang Guan scraped off a little clay material and could barely identify the content of the seal.

"ah!"

At first glance, Wang Guan was shocked and looked in disbelief.

"What's wrong?"

Yu Feibai said in confusion: "What, what, hell?"

Wang Guan didn't explain, but just quickly picked up the other stamps and checked them one by one. The more he looked, the more strange his expression became. I didn't know whether it was a surprise or a joy, or a surprise, but I couldn't believe it.

Seeing this, Yu Feibai simply did it himself, grabbed a stamp and looked it down. After looking at it, his expression was similar to that of Wang Guan. Then he blinked his eyes and rubbed his eyes, for fear that he had read it wrong.

"What the hell is wrong?" Gao Dequan was very surprised and asked Wang Guan for a stamp. The next second, he was dumbfounded and stammered: "Zhu...Mr. Zhu...Mr. Zhu?"

That’s right, these stamps are Mr. Zhu Da’s unique secret notes. Although the stamps vary in size, the stamps are the same, all in the form of spider webs.

Everyone was not mentally prepared and saw such things. No wonder the three of them were stunned and even wondered if they had hallucinations.

"Really or not?" Yu Feibai murmured to himself, mainly because this matter was too unexpected. Even if he saw the stamp, he would not dare to believe his eyes as soon as possible.

Wang Guan was almost the same. He looked around and then took a piece of soft mud, then poked it a few times on the soft mud. After seeing very clear marks, he calmed down and cheered and said, "Feibai, you have made great contributions."

"Is that right?" Yu Feibai gradually calmed down, smiled happily, and said proudly: "I have said everything. My luck has always been very good. It is common for me to accidentally catch a big whale..."

Gao Dequan ignored Yu Feibai's bragging. After coming back to his senses, he immediately asked excitedly: "Where did you dig the thing? Take me to see it quickly."

“It’s right on the nearby hill.”

Under Gao Dequan's urging, several people came to the kiln again.

At this moment, most of the kiln had been opened, and the situation inside was clear at a glance. In addition, several large pits were dug out next to the kiln, obviously trying to find the broken fragments buried next to the kiln.

However, I don’t know why, but the several large pits were dug three feet into the ground, but no fragments of broken porcelain were found, which really puzzled these people.

At the same time, seeing Yu Feibai returning, some people who were busy suddenly felt embarrassed. The movements on hand also stopped instantly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Although Yu Feibai left just now, he never said he would give up the kiln. He had already given a day's rent, so within one day, the kiln would belong to him. However, others dug around without his permission. Even if the law does not punish the public, people with a little bit of self-esteem will definitely feel quite uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Yu Feibai had no intention of pursuing it. After glanced over, he immediately signaled: "Uncle De, the thing was found inside."

“This is an egg-shaped kiln.”

Gao Dequan was experienced. After taking a look, he judged what kind of kiln was this through half the shape of the kiln. At the same time, he noticed that others dug near the kiln but found nothing. He immediately nodded and said, "There is no broken porcelain piece around, which is also a proof. After all, Mr. Zhu Da made porcelain very confidential, so he must be more careful. Even the residual porcelain waste cannot be easily disposed of..."

"Haha, it's really a sight."

Hearing this, Yu Feibai immediately smiled and said, "I finally found an important clue."

"Don't be too happy too early."

However, Gao Dequan shook his head and said, "If I was not wrong, this kiln should be the workshop of the first generation Mr. Zhu Da. The stamps and seals are very primitive and obvious, and they should be Mr. Zhu Da's early seals. Maybe it was because he used them for a while and he felt that such marks were too obvious, so he incorporated the secret notes into the porcelain patterns, making people unable to defend against them."

"Well……"
