At the live broadcast venue.
Ye Chen looked at Huang Lei's despondent expression and smiled."
"Alright, I was just joking with you just now. You're my uncle. Do you think I wouldn't give you food? If I don't give you food, my mother will be the first to not let me off.”
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Huang Lei's face was filled with smiles again.
"Hehe, I knew my nephew wouldn't bear to see his uncle starve.”
"Alright, alright. Go out and wait. Don't stand at the door and disturb my cooking.”Ye Chen immediately ordered them to leave.
"Alright."
Huang Lei laughed and put his hand on Hu Ge's back as they returned to the living room.
"Teacher Huang, there's still some time before dinner. Why don't we make a pot of tea?”
"It just so happens that I learned the art of tea from an old master some time ago. I'll show you.”
The two of them had just sat on the sofa when Hu Ge suddenly became interested and looked at Huang Lei.
"That's great!" Huang Lei nodded slightly and smiled."As for me, I don't have any other hobbies. I just like drinking tea and reading books.”
Hu Ge nodded with a faint smile and began to look around the coffee table for tea sets.
"Xixi, where is your tea set?”
He searched around and even opened the drawers, but he still couldn't find any trace of the tea set.
He could only ask Xixi, who was playing Gomoku with Dilly on the sofa.
"There's a small remote control in the storage box. Uncle Hu, press it, and the tea set will automatically rise from under the coffee table.”Xixi's chubby little hand pointed at the storage box on the coffee table and said softly.
"Thank you, Xixi!"
Hu Ge smiled faintly, took out the remote control from the storage box, and pressed the switch.
The two wooden boards in the middle of the coffee table automatically fell to the bottom, and the tea tray slowly rose from under the coffee table.
On the right side of the tea tray was a water pipe and a pot for boiling water. On the left side was a tea set, teaspoons, tea clips, tea leaks, tea needles, and other tea sets.
In the middle was a purple clay teapot, a sugar vat, and four purple clay tea cups with saucers.
"This set of coffee tables is not bad. I'll ask Brother Chen where he bought it some other day. I'll also get a set at home.”
"Eh?"
Hu Ge had a faint smile on his face, and his gaze inadvertently glanced at the huge purple teapot in the middle.
The spout of the teapot was in the shape of a trumpet, and the water flowed out vigorously. The handle of the pot rose up, winding and vigorous, comfortable to hold.
The body of the pot was decorated with plum blossoms. The petals were full and the lines were clear. The sculpting skills were superb and the atmosphere was elegant.
"Why is this purple clay teapot so big? It's much bigger than the typical purple clay teapot used to make tea, but it looks quite unique and beautiful.”
Hu Ge said casually. He pressed the button to draw water and poured some water into the kettle. He picked up the kettle and prepared to pour water to clean the tea set.
Before he could pour the water, Huang Lei suddenly called out to him.
"Old Hu, wait a moment."
Hu Ge turned around and looked at him strangely.""What's wrong, Teacher Huang?"
Huang Lei ignored Hu Ge and quickly took the teapot in his hand. He tilted it and observed the pattern on the side.
After a while,
Huang Lei could not help but exclaim.
"How is this possible…"
Hu Ge looked at Huang Lei in confusion." Teacher Huang, what happened?”
Even Dilareba cast a puzzled look at Huang Lei.
"Uhh…"
Huang Lei let out an "ugh" and retracted his gaze from the teapot. He replied,
"My nephew's tea set looks like Gu Jingzhou's squirrel grape ten-headed coffee tea set?!”
"Teacher Huang, who is Gu Jingzhou?" Hu Ge was stunned.”
Dilareba's brows furrowed. She was also at a loss.
"That's true. Very few people would know about Gu Jingzhou unless they were fans of the purple clay teapot.”
Huang Lei saw that they were confused and smiled. He then introduced Gu Jingzhou and the squirrel grape tea set to them.
"Then let me tell you. Gu Jingzhou is a contemporary master of purple clay pottery and an artist of purple clay pots.
"His achievements in teapot art are extremely high and his skills are exquisite. He is one of the most accomplished ceramists in modern times.
"Gu Jingzhou's works are extremely valuable. In the auction records of several major auction companies, there are dozens of purple clay teapots that have been sold for more than ten million yuan.”
"Among the nearly 100 varieties that Gu Jingzhou has created in his life, most of them are light quality tools and single pots. Sets with cups are relatively rare, and flowery works are extremely rare.”
"In the 2014 Guardian auction, Old Gu's nine-headed plum tea set was sold for 28.75 million yuan, setting a record for the highest price in China's purple sand auction.”
" Squirrel grapes are even more important among the flowers. There are as many as ten of them. Not only are they a complete set of cups and saucers, but the sugar jars that have the design of a western-made teapot have also become another highlight. The body of the teapot is decorated with squirrel grapes and winding vines, symbolizing auspicious blessings and a noble spirit. It can be said to be the peerless leader of Gu Jingzhou's teapot making!”
"I clearly remember that this squirrel grape tea set was bought by Yang Zi for 80 million two years ago. How could it appear in my nephew's house?”
After Huang Lei finished his introduction, his expression became a little unnatural. He carefully placed the teapot on the table.
"Teacher Huang, you must be mistaken. You said that the squirrel grape tea set was won by Yang Zi, so this tea set worth 80 million must be in his house now. How could it be in Brother Chen's house?”Hu Ge pondered for a moment and raised his doubts.
"That's right! Teacher Huang, why haven't I heard that you know how to identify purple clay teapots?”Dilareba also suspected that Huang Lei had seen wrongly.
Huang Lei chuckled. He had a silly smile on his face, and he was even a little embarrassed.
"Actually, a few years ago, I spent 2,000 yuan on an old man's purple clay teapot made by Gu Jingzhou.”
"You all know how valuable Gu Jingzhou's purple clay teapot is, so from then on, I often went to learn from some teapot masters and famous collectors how to identify Gu Jingzhou's purple clay teapot. I was thinking that I would be lucky enough to pick up another leak one day.”
Hu Ge and Dilreba immediately understood after hearing this.
No wonder Huang Lei knew Gu Jingzhou so well and even knew how to appraise the purple clay teapot.
So this old fox had picked up a loophole once and wanted to pick up a loophole again in the future.
