As expected, Master Zhu was indeed shocked by the price offered by Yang Jing. Of course, the old man also simply refused the price offered by Yang Jing. Although the old man knew that it was Yang Jing's kindness, the old man still simply refused.

"No, the price you gave is too high. I can't sell it to you at such a price. My pot is not worth so much money... Xiao Yang, don't talk to me anymore. If you insist on buying it at this price, don't blame the old man for breaking his promise and not selling it to you. This good life has just passed a few years, and I don't want to make a mistake because of this..."

As soon as the old man said this, Yang Jing realized that he didn't think enough. He seemed to have forgotten how huge the chaotic ten years had brought to these older masters. In 1982, people, especially the older people, had not yet completely changed their minds. They still had huge fears about that "buzzing" era deep in their hearts, fearing that the wind would change and be knocked down again.

The price of a pot worth 3,000 yuan per pot that Yang Jing offered is very low even after 30 years. But in this era, the price of a pot worth 3,000 yuan per pot is undoubtedly poison, and whoever eats it will die.

Seeing Yang Jing's tangled look, the old man said happily: "Xiao Yang, old man, thank you for your respect for my skills so much, but the price you gave is too high, and I really don't dare to accept it. So, since you want to buy my pot, I won't be pretentious anymore. Don't I have ten pots here? If you want it, you will take all three thousand dollars away!"

Then, the old man seemed to think the price he bought seemed a bit high. After hesitating, he explained: "Xiao Yang, I feel uneasy if I just asked me to take this 3,000 yuan. Let's do this, I will change you two sets of pots, one for five heads and the other for ten heads. What do you think?"

Yang Jing shook his head slightly, knowing that he couldn't do it even if he wanted to be a good person today, but he was not a sluggish person. Since the old man said so, he agreed very simply.

Seeing Yang Jing agreeing, the old man smiled on his wrinkled face, "Come on, Xiao Yang, I'll find the pots you can sell. Alas, most of these pots have been saved little by little over the years, and I'm really reluctant to sell them to you all at once. But I'm not a few years old. If these things follow me, they will eventually be buried in the soil with me. If you like these pots so much, you can have a good master with these pots..."

"Well, I remember this set of five-headed round three-friend pots I made in 1953, almost thirty years..."

"This Yunlong pot was one I made in 1967. I remember an old friend wanted a Yunlong pot at that time, but I prepared it for him, but he was knocked down by a group of red ghosts... Alas, there was no one left, and the pot was not sent out, so I stayed there..."

"I made this Golden Bell pot in 66..."

"Well, this plum pot was made in the summer of 1970. I remember it very clearly that it rained heavily that summer, and the water from the Li River next door almost rushed to the embankment..."

......

While muttering, the old man slowly took down eight purple clay teapots, two teacups and two cup holders from the four wooden shelves, with memories and reluctance in his expression.

It can be seen that the old man really has a lot of feelings for these pots. These pots are like his children, and they are all made bit by bit. Now that they have to belong to others, the old man naturally feels a little uncomfortable.

Yang Jing didn't even want to see it. For an old man, the pots he made in his youth or his prime are put aside the value of the old man's life's memories...

"Well, I felt a little unsatisfied with these two pots when I made them back then. Forget it, I won't give them to you. I used these two pots to exchange for two sets of pots. Well, this is a five-headed Yunlong pot I made in 1955. This is a set of ten-headed squirrel grape pots I made in 1963. Xiao Yang, I gave them all to you. What do you think?"

Yang Jing nodded, and the hesitant look on his face flashed, and he said, "Master Zhu, why don't I want this pot? I think if I buy these pots, it's like I'm cutting out your heart's flesh. Why do I feel a deep sense of guilt?"

"Hahaha..." The old man laughed and said while wiping his hands with a cloth, "You little guy is so interesting. Xiao Yang, I know what you think, but you don't have to worry about it being a piece of flesh in my heart. These pots were made in my early years. Although they have sent me a lot of memories, I am not that far. When this person is old, he just loves to think about the past, and he just likes to mutter a few words. Don't be surprised. Xiao Yang, all these pots are sold to you. We agreed to have 3,000 yuan, you can't leave me alone..."

The old man said naughtyly and squeezed his eyes, just like the old naughty boy, making Yang Jing laugh too.

Yang Jing came up and looked at these exquisitely crafted purple clay teapots.

I have to say that the master is a master. Even if the style is similar to the styles of the purple clay teapots that were seen in later generations, the charm in them is far from comparable to those of the purple clay teapots in later generations.

If these purple clay teapots are compared to beauties, then those pots in later generations will at most be considered Internet celebrities, and the pots made by the old man himself are peerless beauties of the level of Xishi and Diao Chan.

Although they all have two eyes, one nose, one mouth, two ears, but the old man’s pots are placed here, and you can feel the peerless charm of a peerless beauty that can only be seen as beautiful as a peerless beauty, and then a peerless charm of a country!

What is a master? This is a master! The undisputed master!

To put it in a modern Internet term, the master's works are so arrogant!

Yang Jing was very satisfied with the pots given by the old man. I won’t talk about the Yunlong pot, that is the old man’s unique skill. When others were still playing with the fish-turned dragon pot, the old man had already made the Yunlong pot.

As for the round three friends pot, that is, the round pine, bamboo and plum pot, it is also the first design of this master.

The bamboo-joint purple clay teapot made by Master Zhu Kexin is the best in the entire circle and is unparalleled. He understood the painting theory and layout from the ancient painting "Gao Song Bamboo Collection", and learned the wonders of shaping bamboo from the discussion of calligraphers and painters. He tasted the best structure from the production of purple clay pottery and flower goods, and applied the skills of picking and placing clay stickers. The bamboo-joint teapot made by him has many forms and endless variations.

The round three-friend pot in front of me is round and bamboo joints are placed in the middle, which is stable and generous; the spout is in the shape of "Zhi" three bends, with a flat and respectful forehead. This spout is a unique style of the mouth shape of the early Republic of China. A branch of bamboo is spread next to the spout, which is refreshing and beautiful, twisted from bottom to top, and is strong and powerful; the lid is embedded in the shape of a micro-dome, full and elegant, shaped into a tender bamboo, with bamboo leaves on both sides, which are even and symmetrical. The whole spout is made of bamboo, with different angles and quite dynamic.

Yang Jing knew very well that the original stamp of Wandao Purple Clay Pot was based on this shaped pot!

The most important thing is that this pot is not a single pot, but a five-header! It is not one of the two pots that the old man said to exchange for Yang Jing alone, but the one that the old man agreed to sell to Yang Jing at the beginning.

The so-called five head covers consist of five pieces in total. That is, one pot, two cups, two holders, and five pieces in total.

If this five-header was sold for auction in later generations, five million would be the starting price!

Among the two sets of pots that the old man exchanged for Yang Jing, one of them was five, which was a set of Yunlong pot five. The workmanship and value were definitely not below this set of Yuan Sanyou pot. Including the previous single pot of Yunlong pot, Yang Jing could buy Master Zhu’s two Yunlong pots in one go!

As for the set of ten-headed squirrel grape pots that the old man exchanged for, it is of higher value.

The masters' purple clay pots are naturally the more valuable they are. Just like the set of the most valuable pots sold at the auction of purple clay pots in later generations, a set of ten-headed squirrel grape pots made by Master Gu Jingzhou, who was directly sold at a high price of 92 million yuan.

In later generations, I have never heard of a ten-squirrel grape pot made by Master Zhu at auction, but this does not mean that Master Zhu's works are worthless. Just like the set of squirrel grape pots in front of me, such exquisite workmanship may not be as valuable as Master Gu Jingzhou's works, but they definitely started with eight-digit numbers!

This kind of ten-headed squirrel grape pot is a "flower" in the purple clay pot. The so-called flower pot is a teapot that uses relief, semi-relief and other techniques to design bionic images of objects that exist in nature. This teapot is called "flower" in the industry.

This purple clay squirrel grape pot is based on the theme of grape branches, leaves, squirrels and tree stumps in nature, and integrates it into purple clay art.

The pot body adopts the classic "stump" shape, and the thick pot body gives people a sense of stability. On the side that looks like a stump, another piece of slender branches are cut into a rotating shape as a pot handle; the shape of the spout and the pot button is also cut into a small piece of branches, or slowly bent into the spout, or naturally slacken the pot button.

The grape leaves on the lid of the pot echo the grape leaves close to the body of the pot. The cute squirrel looked at it from a high place, and the natural interest of the whole pot was thus revealed, lifelike and vivid.

Under Master Zhu's superb craftsmanship, this pot shows its elegance and elegance, and is extremely natural and interesting. It is definitely a rare masterpiece by Master Zhu!

There are also tea jars in this set of pots that are smaller than those of teapots but larger than those of tea cups. The shape of the tea jar is similar to that of teapots, except that the tea jar has two tank handles.
