A treasure-appraisal maniac

Jin Xin's friends were not making fun of him.

He really got this porcelain vase from Tang Hua. Tang Hua clearly told him that it was a replica that he had made by himself.

Tang Hua opened a handicraft shop in Yaokou Town, mainly targeting foreign tourists. Although the porcelain sold was of high quality, they were all ordinary handicrafts.

Before that, Jin Xin had heard of Tang Hua, not because of Tang Hua's skill, but because the Tang family was a migrant.

In Yaokou Town, the surnames Jin and Liu are the most prominent. There are also other surnames, but they are very rare.

The Tang family is the only one who belongs to Scorpion Baba. In the entire Yaokou Town, their family name is Tang.

A person with a foreign surname has taken root in Yaokou Town for decades, built a kiln, and fired porcelain using traditional techniques at a good level. This makes him stand out from the crowd.

But Jin Xin didn't know that the Tang family's craftsmanship far exceeded his expectations.

The shops of the Tang family sell all handicrafts made by employees, but some locals who have a close relationship with the Tang family know another secret. Tang Hua himself is a master of imitating ancient porcelain.

Many people have seen Tang Hua's imitation porcelain, which is simply amazing. Everyone wants to collect one or two pieces, but unfortunately Tang Hua doesn't sell them at all.

Jin Xin's friend Jiang Gongwang is one of them.

Jiang Gongwang has a carefree personality, has a good relationship with everyone, and is quite popular in the town.

He is not only Jin Xin's friend, but also one of Tang Hua's few friends. Of course he has seen Tang Hua's craftsmanship.

For this reason, Jiang Gongwang mentioned to Tang Hua many times that he wanted to purchase a Tang Hua imitation, but Tang Hua refused, making Jiang Gongwang extremely anxious.

Just when Jiang Gongwang was worried, his opportunity came.

One summer, something happened that made Tang Hua very worried.

Tang Hua's son studied very well. When he was transitioning from junior high school to high school, Tang Hua wanted his son to go to Cidu Experimental Middle School.

It is the best high school in the world, and its teaching staff far exceeds that of other schools.

Unfortunately, the Experimental Middle School has a hard target. To go to their school, you must have a household registration in Cidu City. Their Yaokou Town household registration cannot be entered at all.

Tang Hua tried many methods, but none worked, which made him extremely worried.

By chance, Tang Hua casually complained to Jiang Gongwang, and Jiang Gongwang was overjoyed.

hey-hey!

This matter is easy to handle. Leave it to me and I will ensure that it is handled properly for you.

Tang Hua didn't believe it at first, but Jiang Gongwang settled it with just one phone call.

Because the principal of the Experimental Middle School is Jiang Gongwang's brother-in-law, this matter is simply child's play.

Tang Hua was extremely grateful for completing the admission procedures for his son. Knowing that Jiang Gongwang liked the porcelain he imitated, he presented him with a Qianlong blue and white plum vase imitated by himself.

Jiang Gongwang was so happy that he invited the plum vase home to admire it for several days. No matter how you looked at it, it looked real. It was incredible.

He came to Tang Hua's door and asked him where he could tell it was a fake. Tang Hua laughed and said nothing. Jiang Gongwang was confused and couldn't get an answer. He couldn't sleep well.

Then, he thought of his good friend Jin Xin, who was a master figure. If Jin Xin took action, he would definitely be able to see the clues.

When they found Jin Xin, the latter thought Jiang Gongwang had made a fake to amuse himself and was about to get angry. After hearing Jiang Gongwang's explanation, Jin Xin was shocked.

"What are you talking about? This is Tang Hua's imitation?"

Jiang Gongwang nodded repeatedly: "I swear, it's absolutely true."

Jin Xin looked at the plum vase carefully several times, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.

This craft.

Simply.

As fellow craftsmen, Jin Xin couldn't stop seeing such superb imitation and distressing craftsmanship, and immediately took Jiang Gongwang to see Tang Hua.

Jin Xin is the most prestigious person in Yaokou Town and even the porcelain capital. When he comes to visit, Tang Hua is flattered and hurries to treat him hospitably.

After seeing Tang Hua's works with his own eyes, Jin Xin was even more shocked. He then asked if Tang Hua had copied them himself, and received Tang Hua's approval. Mr. Jin was so excited that he made a decision on the spot that shocked everyone.

What decision?

Mr. Jin proposed to take Tang Hua as his disciple.

After saying this, Jin Kui, Jiang Gongwang and the workers present had their jaws dropped, and they were all dumbfounded in shock.

The Jin family has inherited it for hundreds of years, but it is only passed down to the main family.

When it was Jin Xin's turn, countless people wanted to be his disciples, but they were all rejected by the old man.

For decades, there has not been a single disciple with a foreign surname. This is a fact known to everyone.

But no one expected that in front of so many people today, Jin Xin would actually propose to accept a disciple. This is simply unbelievable.

Even Jin Kui, who had been with Jin Xin for decades, was frightened. He thought to himself, has Mr. Jin finally returned to his former glory?

Why would you make this request? This goes against the ancestral precepts!

Jin Xin's recruitment of disciples is already crazy to everyone.

But just when the old man was confidently waiting for Tang Hua to kowtow to offer tea and become his disciple with tears of gratitude, something even crazier happened.

Tang Hua refused almost without thinking.

That's right, I just refused.

The opportunity that countless porcelain enthusiasts dreamed of was rejected by Tang Hua in front of everyone.

After saying this, everyone in the audience was stunned.

Forced.

The most confused person is Jin Xin.

The old man couldn't believe his ears.

Good guy, I am attracted by your talent and would rather violate the ancestral precepts and accept you as my disciple, but you actually look down on me?

Jin Xin stared and asked for confirmation three times in a row, and the answers he got were all consistent, but Tang Hua disagreed.

Jin Xin's face turned red, and he almost vomited blood. He felt like his decades-old face had been stripped off, pressed to the floor and rubbed repeatedly, and he was too embarrassed to survive.

The old man snorted and left angrily. He really had no shame in staying any longer.

It was because of this incident that the old man was so angry that he lay at home for a week and didn't see anyone for half a year.

As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall. This matter soon became known throughout the city. For a time, Mr. Jin became the talk of everyone after dinner, and various versions came out.

For example, Tang Hua disdains the Jin family's craftsmanship.

Mr. Jin’s hot face but cold buttocks and so on, not to mention how lively it is.

Because of this matter, Jin Xin has been worried about it in the past few years and rarely goes out.

It wasn't until he got Suma Liqing from Lu Fei that the old man relaxed a little and started seeing guests.

It is precisely because of such a difference that Lu Fei mentioned Tang Hua today and Jin Kui was frightened. He was afraid that the old man would be upset and kept giving Lu Fei winks.

After Lu Fei heard this, he burst into tears from laughter.

Jin Xin kept rolling his eyes: "Why are you laughing? What's so funny?"

"A fool who doesn't know how to appreciate others will never make a difference."

"snort!"

"Hahaha, brother, your words are a bit vicious!"

"Is it appropriate for you to curse them like this if they don't want you to be your teacher?"
