The current market price of Longgen orchid is 600,000 yuan per plant. If Qin Xuebing bought it himself, it would definitely be difficult to accept it. However, if Ye Zijing likes it, it doesn’t matter. I just hope Ye Zijing will not to toss orchids to death so quickly.

"Boss Huai, what kind of variety is this pot?" Qin Xuebing's eyes moved to another pot, and white buds had grown on it, and it was about to bloom. It was simple and elegant with a very unique beauty that made Qin Xuebing fall in love with it at a glance.

"This is a white Phalaenopsis."

Huaiyong explained: "The Phalaenopsis is a famous cut flower species. Phalaenopsis is a single-stem orchid with short stems and large leaves. It has one to several flower stems, arched and large flowers. Its name is because the flowers look like butterflies. Its flower shape is beautiful and its color is gorgeous. It is a treasure among tropical orchids and is known as the queen of orchids."

After saying that, Huaiyong took out his cell phone and found a photo: "This pot of Phalaenopsis was moved here last year. This was taken when it bloomed last year."

The pink Phalaenopsis is graceful and noble, while the white Phalaenopsis is just the opposite, elegant and simple, giving people a sense of purity.

The flower pot of this pot of Phalaenopsis is also very distinctive. It uses black ceramics and is engraved with oracle bones, which looks simple and elegant. It complements the white Phalaenopsis, which invisibly enhances the beauty of Phalaenopsis.

"How much does it cost?" Qin Xuebing likes this pot of flowers very much, of course, he likes this pot more.

"This is not expensive, each pot has five plants, three thousand yuan." Huaiyong did not deliberately raise the price. In his store, one is one, two is two, and there is no bargaining, and it also has a gentlemanly style.

"Just these two pots." Qin Xuebing pointed to a pot of white Phalaenopsis next to him. The flower pot uses blue and white porcelain to depict landscape characters. It should be produced by Jingde.

Ye Zijing picked two more pots of orchids, one pot of 6,000 yuan and one pot of 10,000 yuan. After all, he bought five pots of orchids, with a total transaction price of 622,000 yuan.

Qin Xuebing carried the white Phalaenopsis in a black flowerpot into the car, and handed the others to the transport company to send them back to the mansion door.

"You won't be fascinated by Phalaenopsis so soon, are you?" Ye Zijing was a little funny. This person didn't even know which flower system the orchid belongs to.

Qin Xuebing did not answer, and pulled out the orchid and poured out the soil. Ye Zijing was so angry that he shivered: "What are you doing? Although this pot of orchid is not a rare variety, it is also very expensive and has such a good quality."

"Wife, you can't tell what this is until now, right?" Qin Xuebing played with the black flower pot, looking excited, as if he saw a peerless work of art.

"Isn't it just a black pottery flowerpot? What's so strange about it?" Ye Zijing was not angry. It was not easy to buy black pottery, so she had to pull out the orchids.

Black pottery, black pottery is the last stage of firing the utensils. Water is added slowly from the top of the kiln to extinguish the charcoal and produce thick smoke. The black pottery formed by intentionally making the smoke black is known as the art of earth and fire, and the crystallization of power and beauty.

Black pottery was born in the late Neolithic Age and has been around for more than 4,000 years. It is a masterpiece of the primitive culture in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. In 1928, the famous archaeologist Wu Jinding discovered this prehistoric remains for the first time during the Longshan archaeological excavation, so it was named "Longshan Culture". Because it is characterized by black pottery, it is also called "Black pottery culture".

With the continuous excavation of archaeology, the black pottery culture began to be loved by the world, so countless artworks of spades were born in modern times, and the prices in the market were not very high. At least, in Ye Zijing's opinion, the value of this spade is far less than that of the five white Phalaenopsis.

"Wife, do you still know Hei Tao?"

Qin Xuebing was a little funny and asked, "Do you know the black pottery eggshell high-handled cup and the high-handled hollow eggshell ceramic cup?"

The black pottery eggshell high-handled cup is 26.5 cm tall. The cup body can be divided into three parts. The upper part is an open mouth, the middle part is an openwork hollow shank belly, and the lower part is a raspberry-shaped base, which is connected to a unified whole with a slender tube, and the shape is delicate and delicate.

The ceramic cup is made of warp wheels. The walls of the cup are uniform in thickness, as thin as eggshells. The thinnest part is only 0.2 to 0.3 mm, but the texture is extremely delicate and hard. The carcass surface has been polished for a long time and shines. The handle of the cup is decorated with holes and slender scratches, and the overall shape is extremely elegant and noble.

The high-handled hollow eggshell pottery cup is unglazed and black and shiny, with a thin body and hard texture. Its wall is only 1 mm thick, its thinnest part is only 0.2 mm, and its weight is only 22 grams. Its exquisite production process is a world-class representative of Longshan culture. It is also called "standard black pottery". It embodies a pure and simple ultimate beauty, has a very high artistic surname, and occupies an important place in the history of arts and crafts. It is praised by the world archaeological community as "the most exquisite production of the earth's civilization four thousand years ago."

"You won't want to tell me that this is an antique, and it is an antique from the Neolithic period?" Ye Zijing didn't believe it at all. This is not in the antique market, but in the flower shop. Most of the utensils are taken directly from the porcelain factory, or even wholesale.

"If you have eyes that don't recognize gold and jade, my understanding of this sentence has improved."

Qin Xuebing laughed and handed over the flower pot: "Look at it carefully, this is a rare fine product."

The soil used in black pottery comes from the alluvial plains in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. It is the large grain of mud and sand carried by the Yellow River during its flow. After continuous erosion, it flows to the lower reaches of the river. Therefore, its deep soil is particularly delicate, sand-free, and large, and rich in a variety of mineral elements. It can produce a pure black uniform texture during firing, which is suitable for black pottery making.

The soil is taken out and dried, then filtered with gauze to make the clay blank. After being molded by hand, it is repeatedly pressed with shells until the surface density of the ceramic blank increases and is as smooth as a mirror. Then, using special carving tools, such as line carving, shallow carving, deep carving, hollowing, etc., hand-carving and mysterious patterns are carved. Then, the black pottery works are equipped with accessories such as ears, rings, noses, and legs.

The pure black surface of the black pottery is made of a unique ancient process of unglazed, colorless carbonized kiln transformation. After being released from the kiln, it is natural and no longer treated. Its appearance effect is as black as lacquer and as bright as a mirror.

In the last stage of firing the utensil, water is added slowly from the top of the kiln to extinguish the charcoal and produce thick smoke. The smoke is deliberately blackened, resulting in black pottery.

The black pottery made in this way is polished and unpretentious. The patterns have only a few string patterns, scratches or holes. They have four major characteristics: black, thin, light and black pottery.

After seeing it, Ye Zijing was speechless, rolled her eyes, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Dog shit."

"Wife, don't be envious, let alone jealous, because mine is yours." Qin Xuebing laughed. Black pottery is extremely rare in the market, and even players with strong strength are almost impossible to get it.

Moreover, the black pottery has been buried for four or five thousand years, and has been overlaid by the strata. The objects and soil are stuck together, and almost nothing is unearthed. It can be said that it is intact. It can only be said that it is of amazing luck.

"I love hearing these words."

Ye Zijing suddenly laughed and said fiercely: "Your is mine, and you are mine."

"It seems that I should say this?" Qin Xuebing felt uncomfortable no matter how he heard it.

"Are you not mine?" Ye Zijing's style changed suddenly and she looked at Qin Xuebing pitifully.

"Wife, what price do you think this flowerpot can be sold at the auction?" Qin Xuebing quickly changed the subject. He really didn't know the price of black pottery.

"Black pottery is an antique that has only emerged in the past twenty years, and most of the cultural relics have not been unearthed, so the black pottery market is very immature and difficult to price. However, among black pottery, this flower pot is definitely a fine product and can be called a national treasure." Although Ye Zijing is more familiar with the antique market, she cannot make reasonable pricing for this spade flower pot.

To be precise, the market cannot price this. But she believes that this black pottery is definitely a fine product.

Identifying the collection value of black pottery products requires judgment from four aspects.

At a glance, the shape is the first priority to identify the collection value of black pottery. The various shapes of black pottery either represent a status or a specific cultural connotation. For example, the bird-shaped pot in black pottery is a totem representing the clan.

Flower pots are objects of appreciation. Although they cannot compare to the totem objects such as bird-shaped pots, they were definitely considered noble products during the Neolithic period.

Second, look at the appearance. Black pottery products are usually used as burial objects after the death of a noble. After four or five thousand years of burial, they are overlaid by the strata, and the objects are stuck together with the soil, and almost nothing is finished unearthed. Therefore, the appearance becomes the second element in identifying the value of black pottery.

Judging from the appearance, this flowerpot is almost impeccable, no less than the national spade treasure collected in the museum, and it is even more than that.

Three look at the pictures and texts. Some black pottery also carved some pictures and texts from the time, some representing the totems of the clan, and some are some primitive characters. The geometric patterns of the black pottery art can be traced back to the painted pottery art of the Yangshao Banpo era. They gradually turned from the realistic animal image to abstract symbols. The original objects of this geometric pattern, such as snakes degenerating into dragons, birds degenerating into phoenixes, and snakes degenerating into fish, expressing the totem worship of the primitive ancestors and gradually transforming into lines with rhythm. These pictures and texts with specific meanings add their artistic value and cultural connotation.

The flowerpot of Qin Xuebing is full of oracle bone inscriptions. Although Qin Xuebing cannot interpret it, these words already represent an extremely high archaeological value. If these words record certain events in history or are related to historical events, the value of this black pottery will be unimaginable.

However, for these words, Qin Xuebing could only crack the information after consulting old professors who studied ancient culture.
