As soon as He Ren and others entered the box, a middle-aged man wearing gold and silver stood up and gave Catfish a bear hug very enthusiastically.
When he was about to come over to hug He Ren, He Ren reached out his hand in advance. He didn't want to hug a man. Why didn't those female anchors stand up and welcome him?
The middle-aged man was startled, then reacted very quickly and immediately held He Ren's hand, "Are you Brother He? Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. I am Huang Yongchang, the boss of the Whale and Elephant Guild."
"Hello……"
While shaking hands, He Ren complained in his mind, "People call them whales and elephants, so you call them whales and elephants?" Why not call her Shizuka...
Unexpectedly, Huang Yongchang's next words almost made He Ren spit out, "Xiaojing, Xiaoxiang, you two come to sit with Brother He, and you must take good care of Brother He."
There really is Shizuka...
He Ren looked at the two gorgeous beauties with tapered faces wearing hip-hugging skirts and Balenciaga, and immediately waved his hand to refuse, "No, Boss Huang, I just finished my PK with Feifei, I can just sit here."
Huang Yongchang winked at Lin Feifei and then said with a smile, "Well, Brother He, feel free to do whatever you want. I'll go have a drink with Brother Catfish."
Catfish was also a scene person, and a little crazy. He immediately sat down with Huang Yongchang. The two of them smiled like chrysanthemums. Those who didn't know better thought they were long-lost brothers.
Huang Yongchang was having a heated fight with Catfish, and he raised his head and said hello, "Eat and drink well, everyone, Feifei, take good care of Brother He."
He Ren sat down next to Lin Feifei. Lin Feifei raised her wine glass, her face flushed, and stammered, "Ren...Brother Ren, let me toast you."
He Ren held down the wine glass. He knew from Lin Feifei's expression that she was not used to this kind of occasion, "You don't have to greet me, I don't drink much, just feel free to do it."
Lin Feifei was obviously relieved and put the cup down. Zhang Nuo sat down on the other side of He Ren and pinched the soft flesh on his waist. "Why didn't I realize that you are so compassionate?"
He Ren chuckled, "We haven't even gone to Jin Province yet, why did you drink someone else's specialty?"
Zhang Nuo thought for a while before she realized that He Ren was saying that she was jealous. When others were not paying attention, she stepped on He Ren's feet severely under the table, "I made you talk nonsense!"
He Ren grimaced in pain, but did not dare to fight back. He still remembered Zhang Nuo's black belt in Taekwondo...
He Ren originally wanted to immerse himself in eating, but these female anchors came over to toast and serve He Ren with food. Their voices were louder than the last. They opened their mouths and called out "Brother He Ren" and "Brother Ren". Goosebumps all over.
These female anchors are so enthusiastic not because of He Ren, but because of Xu Qingjie.
Lin Feifei may not know who Xu Shao is, but other female anchors know that they enter the live broadcast industry not only to make money, but also to find a rich husband.
Obviously Mr. Xu is a very suitable candidate. Let alone getting married, as long as he can fall in love, he can make a lot of money.
Within a few words, He Ren knew what these people were thinking, because some of them were already anxiously asking He Ren for Xu Qingjie’s contact information...
Fortunately, Catfish came to He Ren's rescue at this time, "Brother He, come here and help Boss Huang with his eyes."
He Renru was granted amnesty and immediately stood up and walked to Catfish and Huang Yongchang. Catfish introduced, "I am better at jade. For porcelain and pottery, I still have to rely on Brother He. He is definitely the best."
Looking at Catfish's thumbs up, Huang Yongchang would definitely not refuse. He smiled slightly and took out a bottle, "Then I'll trouble Brother He."
Hearing that He Ren wanted to appraise treasures on the spot, everyone in the box gathered around, especially the female anchors in Huang Yongchang's company. They had also seen this bottle. Huang Yongchang usually kept it in his office. It was very precious and he had to rub it several times every day. All the time, they wanted to know what it was and how much it was worth.
He Ren took a closer look. This small bottle was about 20 centimeters high. It was green in color and engraved with celadon glaze. It looked like it was produced by the Longquan official kiln.
There are also four grooves on the bottle, which look like Michelin tires. These are called tubes, so this bottle is also called a five-tube bottle.
But He Ren's expression was very strange, because this was a soul bottle...
Huang Yongchang looked at He Ren's expression and thought he hadn't noticed it, so he quickly helped He Ren out, "I collected this bottle from a fellow villager's house. It shouldn't be a famous kiln..."
He Ren was a little emotional. He didn't expect Huang Yongchang to be such a good person, so He Ren would say it out loud.
"Boss Huang, do you know what this is?"
"Isn't it just a bottle? When I bought it, the fellow said it was from the Ming Dynasty."
"That's right. It is indeed from the Ming Dynasty, and it was fired at the Longquan official kiln."
Huang Yongchang was shocked. The celadon porcelain from Longquan in the Ming Dynasty could easily cost millions, and the cheaper ones cost hundreds of thousands. He only spent 20,000 on this bottle at that time. Didn't he make a lot of money?
"Brother He, are you sure?"
"Definitely, definitely, definitely." He Ren opened his mouth and said, "But the meaning of this bottle is not very good. This is a soul bottle. To be precise, it should be a Longquan celadon carved five-tube soul bottle."
"The meaning is not good?" Huang Yongchang was startled, "Why is the meaning not good? What is a soul bottle?"
"Soul bottles are also called granary jars. According to legend, they existed in the late Shang Dynasty. They were particularly prosperous during the Three Kingdoms and Song Dynasties. By the Republic of China, they were almost gone. Do you know not to eat Zhou millet?"
Seeing everyone shaking their heads, He Ren explained, "Bo Yi and Shu Qi are the sons of the king of Guzhu in the late Shang Dynasty. After the fall of the Shang Dynasty, they swore not to eat the food of the Zhou Dynasty, and finally starved to death in Shouyang Mountain."
Huang Yongchang was still puzzled, "What does this have to do with the soul bottle?"
"Later, in order to commemorate them, people added grains to the funerary objects after death, and the container containing the grains was called a soul bottle. Therefore, the bottle you collected is actually a funerary object."
Hearing what He Ren said, the female anchors surrounding them all took a step back, and Huang Yongchang almost threw the bottle in his hand.
"Brother He, are you kidding?"
He Ren shook his head, "Later, there were probably two functions of the soul bottle. One was to suppress the tomb, so that the body of the tomb owner would not be disturbed; the other was to attract the soul, guiding the owner of the tomb in the direction of reincarnation... It's somewhat similar. The functions of paper figures and paper horses are not very good, so few people collect them.”
Huang Yongchang was agitated. He remembered that he held this bottle and wiped it for a long time every day, and he felt a chill down his spine...
Catfish said at this time, "Isn't Tang Sancai also a funerary object? Many people still collect it."
He Ren rolled his eyes, can it be the same?
Besides, no one was willing to collect Tang Sancai at first, but later they started to hype it up for some reason. However, no one has been hyping up the Soul Vase for so many years, so why are they still collecting it?
"Boss Huang, if you insist on collecting it, it's not impossible. Maybe one day the soul bottle will become popular, and it may be worth several million."
Huang Yongchang's eyes lit up, "How much is this bottle worth now?"
"Three to four thousand yuan..."
Huang Yongchang feels even more uncomfortable...
