When he returned to Old Man Zhu's house after coming out of Master Gu's house, the situation here frightened the old and the young.Between the old man's house, more than 20 people gathered densely at the door of the old man's house, each of whom was either carrying a cart or a flat pole, and they all carried a lot of cardboard boxes, blocking the originally not spacious street at the door of the old man's house.Yang Jing didn't know these people, and he didn't know why these people were at the door of the old man's house, but Old Man Zhu knew these people, most of these people were residents on this street, and many of them were Zisha artists with very exquisite craftsmanship, and a few of them were apprentices among the seven elders of Zisha Seeing Old Man Zhu coming back in a tricycle, several middle-aged people who looked like they were in their forties hurriedly greeted him, and one of them bowed respectfully to Old Man Zhu, calling him "Master".After a period of greetings, Old Man Zhu whispered: "These people are all juniors, this Xiao Fan, is my apprentice, um" The old man hesitated, with a trace of embarrassment on his face, "They all heard about you buying purple clay pots at a high price just now, so they came here with the pots they made themselves or the remaining pots from the previous family, hoping that you can buy these pots." ”Obviously, the old man also felt that these children were a little unauthentic in doing this, so he felt a little embarrassed.But the old man has no choice, in this period, the lives of these purple sand artists are relatively difficult, because the purple sand pots in this period are far from being comparable to the price after thirty or even twenty years.In this era, the fault is that Yang Jing "premiums" so many purple clay pots, otherwise even if it is the work of Master Gu Jingzhou, a pot is only 200 yuan, and it has to be a masterpiece to sell at this price.As for the pots made by these ordinary purple sand artists, even if they are all handmade works, a pot can be sold for twenty or thirty yuan.The most important thing is that in this era, the whole of China is quite poor, the salary of ordinary workers is only thirty or forty yuan a month, and the cadres are only seventy or eighty yuan a month, and it is not enough to eat, who is willing to spend dozens of yuan to buy a teapot?
What?
What do you say for tea?
It's simple, the enamel jar, that thing makes a jar of tea, enough to drink half a morning Xiao Yang came here to travel, and bought some high-quality purple clay pots to go back, which is understandable, but these guys blocked the door with a dead face, which is a bit excessive.But Old Man Zhu can't ignore it, most of these people are his descendants, and one of his personal apprentices is among them, they are all very bitter now, and now they finally have a big customer, even if each family sells two or three pieces, one family can earn one hundred and eighty yuan, enough for the family to eat for two months Looking at Old Man Zhu's embarrassed look, Yang Jing smiled and said: "Old man, you don't have to worry about this, they can bring the purple clay pot, I can't ask for it."
But let's say it first, I only accept high-quality products, that is, I see the eye-catching, if I can't see it, I'm sorry, I don't buy it. ”Hearing Yang Jing say this, the old man was a little surprised, "Xiao Yang, are you really willing to buy their works?"
”"Well, as long as it's not a shoddy pot, I want it.They are also masters with exquisite craftsmanship, and their works are also very popular if they are placed abroad. ”"Well, since you said so, then I promise that the pot they made is fine.I know all these people, and their craftsmanship is very good, maybe not as famous as our old men, but the pots they make are really good. ”"Hehe, old man, you've said this, wouldn't it be sorry for your guarantee if I didn't buy a few more pieces?
Well, with your assurance, I can't let these masters' pots be dusty.Fixed price, a hundred yuan a handful or a set, what do you think?
”"Yo, this price is really high.Xiao Yang, if you really give this price, my old man's descendants will thank you. ”"Alas, old man, you are doing this to break my life!"
Yang Jing hurriedly grabbed the old man, if he let the old man, who was almost eighty, bow to him, Yang Jing would have to hit his head on the ground.When the old man told Yang Jing's purchase conditions, the group of people were a little dumbfounded.They never imagined that this young returned overseas Chinese would give such a high purchase price.That's the price of a hundred dollars, which is a price that has never been seen in the previous ten or twenty years!
These purple sand artists are well aware that craftsmanship is important in this industry, but fame is the key factor in determining the price.Why can Master Gu's pot be sold for two hundred?
It's not because Master Gu is famous.But fame is not something that can be said by mouth, it is accumulated by decades of real craftsmanship, maybe the purple sand pots made by these purple sand artists present can be sold for tens of millions of dollars after a few decades, but in this era, their works can only be bought for twenty or thirty yuan.Now Yang Jing is buying it at a price of 100 yuan, which is too much beyond their expectations.Of course, this is a good thing for these purple sand artists, so after a short period of consternation, these simple purple sand artists all cheered loudly.In fact, the condition that Yang Jing said that he could buy the work that could make him look at it was purely a match, these purple sand artists are definitely not as famous as those masters, but in terms of craftsmanship, they have absolutely no problem.In this era, almost all the purple sand pots are made by hand, and most of these purple sand artists have been teaching since they were teenagers, and then became apprentices, and then began to make purple sand pots alone, so in this era, the craftsmanship of these purple sand artists is not said.Don't look at the pots they make now are worthless, but if they put it in thirty years, this kind of pure handmade purple clay pot, if a pot is not sold for tens of thousands of yuan, it will be sorry for their craftsmanship at all.If you are more famous, it is absolutely no problem to buy hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars for a pot.Therefore, after a simple observation, more than 200 pieces (sets) of purple clay pots brought by more than 20 people were all in Yang Jing's pocket, and the funds paid by Yang Jing were only more than 20,000 yuan.Although Yang Jing can't raise pots one by one, after his private museum opens, he can make a separate purple clay pot area!
