Chapter 50 Filling the gap

in the collection world

in the collection world

"Master, please take care of this colorful bowl."

Yang Yukun placed the colorful bowl from the Yuan Dynasty in front of the master.

The moment he saw the colorful bowl, the old god Zai Pohou sat upright in an instant, his eyes fixed on the colorful bowl and could not move away anymore.

"Disciple, where did you get this colorful bowl?"

"I found it at a stall in the Ghost Market of Huguo Temple that time. I was a little unsure, so I brought it here for you to take a look at."

"What do you think of this colorful bowl?"

Bashahou picked up the colorful bowl, looked at it, and asked Yang Yukun what he thought of the colorful bowl.

"I think it's the five-color solid gold craftsmanship recorded in the literature. Master, what do you think?"

"I think so too."

The first time he saw this colorful bowl, Bapohou basically concluded that it was a five-color golden colored bowl from the Yuan Dynasty.

Although information about this type of technology only exists in the literature.

As far as he knew, porcelain with this kind of craftsmanship had never appeared before, and even national museums such as the Forbidden City Museum did not have such porcelain in their collections.

But this kind of craftsmanship does exist in the long history of Xia Kingdom's porcelain archives.

"Master, with your words, I feel relieved."

"Disciple, this colorful bowl of yours is amazing. I dare not say it anywhere else. But in the imperial capital, this is the first time that porcelain with this kind of craftsmanship has appeared. It is not available in the Forbidden City Museum and other major national museums. Take it back.

It should be treasured well."

"Thank you, Master."

Yang Yukun put away this egg-white glaze secretly engraved multicolored gold bowl.

This piece of porcelain may not be the most expensive among the collections he bought, nor the most eye-catching at first glance, but it is definitely a very special collection.

Because the number of porcelain made with this type of craftsmanship is very small, didn't you hear his master say that even the Forbidden City Museum doesn't have it?

"You're really lucky. You can come across objects of this kind of craftsmanship. Isn't the number of items in your collection almost as good as mine?"

"Master, compared to you, my disciple is far behind."

Yang Yukun also felt that he was very lucky. A few years ago, he and Han Chunming went for a walk in the countryside and came back with a lot of heavyweight porcelain.

Perhaps because he had relived his life, his luck had indeed improved.

The master has been collecting for half his life, and the number of collections is beyond his comparison.

His current collection consists of more than 20 pieces (sets) of porcelain that he bought from a previous purchase.

There are also more than a hundred paintings by Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong... and other modern painters that were bought one after another from Liulichang.

There is really no comparison between him and his master in terms of the number of collections.

But when it comes to the number of top heavyweight collections, the master may not necessarily have more than him.

He collected porcelain from the five major kilns of the Song Dynasty.

Master has not achieved this achievement alone, right?

As far as he knew, the master only had a Bafang cup from the Ge Kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty and a round washer with azure glaze from the Ru Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was still far from the achievement of collecting all the porcelain from the five major kilns of the Song Dynasty.

"You kid, you know it's a good thing to hide your clumsiness, you're like me."

"I was taught by you. By the way, master, did you get back the items you hid in the Ghost Market of Huguo Temple a few years ago?"

"Bring it back."

"That's good."

Yang Yukun drank tea with the master and chatted. Brother-in-law Hou couldn't say anything about their chat, so he ran to the kitchen to help Hou Su'e make lunch.

…………

"Uncle Kun!"

A little guy ran in from outside. It was Liu Yuehua, the grandson of Yang Yukun and his master.

"Xiaohua, do you miss Uncle Kun?"

"I wish, Uncle Kun, Happy New Year!"

"Let me go, where did you learn this trick?"

"Uncle Kun, red envelope."

"You kid get up first."

"Uncle Kun, I've already kowtowed to you, where is my red envelope?"

"Good boy, wait here for Uncle Kun, right? Here you go."

Looking at the little guy looking at him eagerly after kowtow, Yang Yukun smiled, took out two dollars from his pocket and stuffed it into the kid's hand.

"Thank you, Uncle Kun!"

After receiving the red envelope, the little guy beamed with joy.

Before he could be happy for ten seconds, a big hand reached out and took away the money.

"What do children do with so much money? Mom will save this money for you first and marry you a wife when you grow up."

When the money was taken away, the expression on the little guy's face instantly fell. He didn't dare to be angry or speak, and he looked aggrieved.

Yang Yukun smiled and patted the little guy's head. Look, the little guy was so wronged that he almost cried.

"Lunch is ready. Dad, Xiaokun, Jingping, let's have lunch."

"Let's go, let's eat first."

"Come on, little one, don't be sad, turn your sorrow and anger into food intake, and eat a few more pieces of meat in a while."

"Dad, sit here."

Brother-in-law Hou took out the wine and poured it for everyone, and they had a few drinks with the old man.

"Master, Jingping and I have left. Please rest. I will come back to see you in two days."

"Wait a minute, take this jar of wine back to Old Man Guan, and tell him that I will go to him for a drink in a few days."

The Polanhou gave Yang Yukun a jar of Eight Immortals' Drunk and asked him to take it back to Uncle Guan.

This wine was just brought to Yang Yukun when he came over in the morning. He had two jars of the same wine, both of which were five kilograms in large jars.

"Okay, I will personally deliver this jar of wine to Uncle Guan, so that this old man can feel your love for him."

"Disciple, you used the word well. Yes, it is caring."

This wine is not available on the market, only his disciples can get it.

In the entire Qianmen building, he was the only one who could drink such good wine regularly.

Old Man Guan is a drunkard who is addicted to alcohol. He is very greedy for the wine in his hand.

He gave this jar of wine to Old Man Guan, wasn't it out of love for this alcoholic Admiral of the Nine Sects?

"Let's go, master. Sister Hou, brother-in-law, see you later."

"Goodbye, master. Xiaokun and I will come over to see you next time."

"good."

"Xu Jingping, let's go."

After lunch, we chatted with the master for a while. At about one o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping left the master's house.

After sending Xu Jingping home first, Yang Yukun went directly to Uncle Guan's house.

"Uncle Guan, are you drinking?"

"Xiao Kun, it's you, come here and have a drink with Grandpa Jiumen Admiral."

"Drink it dry, don't you have a whole plate of fried peanuts to go with the wine?"

"Of course there are dishes to go with the drinks."

Uncle Guan took out a handful of shelled raw peanuts from his pocket. This was his snack for today.

"You, this old man, have really reached your limit when it comes to drinking. You are worthy of being a wine admiral."

"That is."

"Old man, this is the wine that my master asked me to bring you. He said that he would come to you for a drink."

Yang Yukun put the wine on the table, peeled two peanuts and threw them into his mouth. They were quite fragrant.

"Your master asked you to bring it to me?"

"Yes, I was specially asked to bring it to you. It was twisted from Rouge Alley and I was told to deliver it to you personally."

"How is your master's health?"

"Thanks to you, I'm doing fine. I'm in great health and it tastes great when I eat it."

"If you have something to do, it's okay. If you have nothing to do, play two games with me."

"It's done."

With nothing to do, the chessboard was placed, and Yang Yukun accompanied Uncle Guan to kill a few games.
