He picked up the teapot and looked around, then at the bottom.
"Three Fatties, are you familiar with Sister Zhang?"
Niu Sanpang, who was drinking tea, put down his tea cup and said, "When I was in college, I often came here to play with my classmates, so we are relatively familiar with it. Later, I took over the auction house's business and brought the company's employees to team building several times."
"It turns out that you are a big customer of the farm. No wonder the standard of making tea is so high."
Niu Sanpang didn't understand. He asked strangely: "What does this have to do with making tea?"
Li Mo smiled softly: "The tea is made from the best Biluochun from the Ming Dynasty, and the tea set is made from Li Bifang purple clay teapot. Only you, a big customer, are eligible to enjoy this kind of treatment. The three of us are lucky today. Your light.”
Qin Sirui took a sip of tea and said, "The tea has a rich aroma."
"The Mingqian Biluochun I came to drink before." Niu Sanpang looked at Li Mo, then at the teapot, then pointed at the teapot and said, "Master Li, are you saying this purple clay teapot is not simple?"
"you do not know?"
"How do I know anything? I'm confused by what you said. Wait, I'll contact Sister Zhang to come over."
Not long after the phone call, Mr. Zhang rushed here.
"Mr. Niu, what's wrong? You sound very anxious."
"Sister Zhang, where did you buy the purple clay pot you are using?"
"Oh, my dad bought this at the antique market in the city when he first opened the farm ten years ago. He bought more than 30 sets of tea sets at that time. It was not expensive. The average price was only five or six hundred yuan. Mr. Niu, do you like this? A shaped purple clay pot?”
Niu Sanpang didn't like it, but from Li Mo's tone, this purple clay teapot had some background.
"Li Mo, do you have anything to say about this purple clay pot?"
Qin Sirui asked curiously.
Li Mo laughed and said, "Sister Zhang, I thought you used such an expensive purple clay pot to make tea because Mr. Niu is a big customer. It turns out you don't know the origin of this purple clay pot."
"Mr. Li, you are confusing me. I have been using this purple clay teapot for many years. Is there anything special about it?"
"Sister Zhang, please sit down and listen to what my friend has to say."
Li Mo lifted the teapot and exposed the bottom part.
"This is the model of Li Bifang. Li Bifang is an outstanding representative of the contemporary purple clay female arts and crafts family. Her works are in the ancient purple clay pots that are made of plain crafts. She is a very famous figure."
"Look at this purple clay pot again. It has an ancient shape and is well made. The feet, mouth, handles and lid are all made with fine workmanship. Including the sand and the carvings on it, they are carved with orchids and poems. It is very literary. This is indeed Li Bifang’s work.”
Li Mo poured himself a cup of tea and continued: "Sister Zhang, this purple clay pot your father bought ten years ago is now worth at least two hundred thousand."
A purple clay pot is worth 200,000?
The farm owner was a little confused and couldn't react for a while. They have been using this teapot for ten years and have made tea countless times. Now someone suddenly tells you that this purple clay teapot is actually worth more than 200,000 yuan, which is a bit hard to digest at the moment.
Xu Jiaxin also had purple clay pots in her store. She took the purple clay pot and looked at it carefully, with a look of wonder on her face.
"Sister Zhang, don't you believe it? I spent six hundred to buy it back then. If you don't believe it, how about I buy it for a hundred times the price?"
The farm owner looked dumbfounded at Niu Sanpang, then at Li Mo, who had a calm face, and then at Miss Xu, who wished she could wrap him up and take her away immediately. His throat moved and he whispered: "Mr. Li, this Is the purple clay pot really worth two hundred thousand?"
Li Mo stood up with a smile and said, "How about you sell 60,000 yuan to Miss Xu."
This is not like a joke, and there is no need to make such a silly joke.
"Sister Zhang, what are you doing stupidly? My friend said this is Li Bifang's purple clay teapot, and it must be worth the price. Hurry up and get an ordinary purple clay teapot, so you don't bump into it accidentally."
The farm owner finally believed it was true and left carefully carrying the purple clay pot.
"Mr. Niu, the wood-fired turkey and wood-fired fish are already delicious. Can we start eating now?"
"It's ready and it's on the table. We're all hungry. Let's fill our stomachs first and then go out to visit the farm."
Two hard dishes, paired with four cold dishes.
"This fish is pretty good."
Qin Sirui and Xu Jiaxin usually don't eat much, and they pay attention to their figure, so they only ate a little fish and cold vegetables before putting down their chopsticks. However, Li Mo and Niu Sanpang had a great time eating, and even tasted some bayberry wine brewed in the farm.
The farm owner personally brewed a new pot of tea and delivered it.
"Mr. Li, thank you very much. All purchases today are free of charge."
"Sister Zhang, you are a bit stingy. At least the next time our company comes to team building, you can give us a 50% discount."
"No problem, Mr. Niu, it's settled, please use it with ease."
Most of the big dishes were eaten by Li Mo and Niu Sanpang. After cleaning up, Li Mo poured out the white vinegar in the basin and washed it several times with water.
"I'll deal with these ancient coins first. Why don't you go out for a walk first?"
"I'm not in a hurry." Qin Sirui looked at Niu Sanpang and said, "You go out with Jiaxin for a walk."
"I'll stay too, and we'll go out together when Li Mo is finished."
Niu Sanpang shook his head. He didn't know whether he didn't want to be alone with Xu Jiaxin, or whether he wanted to get a set of Little Five Emperors money from Li Mo as soon as possible.
Xu Jiaxin glared at San Pang with slight dissatisfaction, but he didn't see it either. She was so angry that she really wanted to go up and beat him a few times.
After boiling and soaking in white vinegar, a lot of the rust spots on the surface of the ancient coins had automatically fallen off. He gently brushed them with a toothbrush, and the ancient coins gradually revealed their original appearance.
"This is the Great Five Emperors' Money."
The five copper coins are arranged in a row in order.
Although it has been treated, the copper coins still retain traces of time.
"Master Li, are you going to put this money from the Five Emperors in the company?"
"I have this plan."
Li Mo continued to clean up other copper coins, and it took about an hour to finish them all. He continued to rinse it with clean water several times to clean away all the rust spots and debris on the surface, and finally wiped it clean one by one with a clean cotton cloth.
"These copper coins have been processed, but they will not be used for the time being. I will let them receive the baptism of the essence of the sun and moon first, and then I will give you three a set each."
The Erlongxizhu bracelet and copper coins had been dealt with, and Li Mo put them all into his bag and prepared to go out for a walk with the three of them.
The farm is very large, with various fruit trees, vegetable greenhouses, fish ponds, and a play area for children. The business here is pretty good, with a lot of customers.
Qin Sirui re-armed himself and followed Li Mo quietly, feeling the peaceful time in the countryside.
"In the future, when I get old, I will buy a piece of land and build an antique courtyard house. I will build an artificial lake not far away and plant lotus, aquatic plants and reeds in it, and then stock it with many kinds of fish."
"Raise a flock of chickens, ducks and geese, grow fruits and vegetables, and live a self-sufficient pastoral life. That is the true fulfillment of life."
As Li Mo walked, he breathed in the wind of freedom.
"I'll build a small shed next to you then, and we'll be neighbors."
Li Mo glanced at San Fatty: "I thought you built a small shed to raise cattle and sheep."
