Chapter 859 crazy eggplant

After all, when the Japanese consulate came forward, the Beiyang government, which had internal and external troubles at the time, had to give it face, so that boss Ye, no matter how tough the backstage was, had no choice but to bow his head this time.

Although he hated this Hirota Matsushige extremely, he had to give this three-legged incense burner to him in the end.

But after all, his backstage face is very big, even if the Japanese want this three-legged incense burner, they have to show full sincerity.

What’s more, Hirota Matsushige didn’t have a deep background in Japan, so the Japanese consulate didn’t put too much pressure on Beiyang.

In the end, Hirota Matsushige spent 20,000 oceans to buy this three-legged incense burner from Boss Ye.

After Hirota Matsushige returned to Japan, he widely promoted this celadon three-legged incense burner. On the one hand, he advertised his antique shop, and on the other hand, of course, he wanted to show off.

But who would have thought that he would be self-defeating by showing off so much, attracting a big man who could crush him to death.

And this person is the big boss of the Mitsubishi chaebol, the Iwasaki Koyata who collects the Yaobian Tianmu Bowl.

At that time, Iwasaki Koyata took a fancy to this three-legged incense burner, and directly offered Hirota Matsushige 30,000 yen to buy this incense burner.

You must know that at that time, the currencies of all countries were still using the gold standard, unlike now that all countries are desperately pouring water, and the central bank is desperately over-issuing currency.

So the yen at that time was still very valuable. If it was exchanged for 30,000 yen to the present, if it was converted into RMB, it would be worth at least 18 million RMB.

At that time, the price was not low at all compared to this three-legged incense burner.

Coupled with the identity of Iwasaki Koyata, this made Hirota Matsushige hesitate for many days.

But he himself is also a person who likes porcelain very much, especially the celadon produced in the official kilns of the Southern Song Dynasty. There are not many pieces in Japan, and it can be said that each piece is very precious.

He also thinks that the price of 30,000 yen given by Iwasaki Koyata. Although it is not low, it is definitely not worthy of this three-legged incense burner.

Finally he gritted his teeth. Bravely rejected Koyata Iwasaki’s offer.

And what role is this Iwasaki Xiaoyata? He was the most famous big industrialist in Japan at that time, and he had a very deep relationship with the Tianhuang family. In Japan, both the political and business circles, and the folk influence are huge.

If you really offend this Iwasaki Xiaoya, people don’t have to do it themselves, just move their mouths, and someone can come and kill him in minutes.

In the end, he could only take him from the last auction held by the descendants of the Tokugawa family. A tea can that was bought back was transferred to Iwasaki at a fair price, which was considered to have settled the matter.

Later, because of this incident, he became involved with Iwasaki Koyata, and he went in and out of China several times to help the head of the Mitsubishi chaebol go to China to find treasures.

But he also knew that if Iwasaki Xiaoya was fooled, it did not mean that the world would be peaceful from then on.

After the death of Koya Iwasaki, the later heirs of the Mitsubishi chaebol may not be embarrassed for himself. But once you wait for yourself to hang up, the people of the Mitsubishi chaebol family will definitely come to trouble their children and grandchildren.

After all, everyone is innocent. But he was guilty of his own sins. His family was not a famous family in Japan, but a small family doing antique business. Compared with other Mitsubishi chaebols, his waist was not as thick as a foot.

If he died, the people of the Iwasaki family would definitely not let go of the treasure in the hands of their children and grandchildren, and would definitely try every means to come to their own home to find the treasure.

One is bad. His own family may be the fate of being raided and wiped out.

So he will be before he is dying. Donate these two treasures that he is most proud of in his life to the Tokyo National Museum.

Of course starting today. This celadon three-legged incense burner is about to go home with Jin Muchen.

When this treasure was in Jin Muchen’s hands, he didn’t worry about the Hirota family coming back to ask him for what he wanted, even if the leader of the Mitsubishi chaebol, the Iwasaki family came to him, and Jin Muchen didn’t ignore them.

The head of the Mitsubishi chaebol family has to kneel in front of him. Anyway, I am now not only an ordinary Chinese, but can also use the identity of the United States to be a tiger’s skin.

You must know that Japanese people have the habit of getting weak legs when they see American fathers, so the big deal is to get an American identity to scare them. If they can’t figure it out, I will close the door and let the mafia go. Who can scare who live.

After putting away the celadon three-legged incense burner, Jin Muchen continued to walk behind.

To know this Hirota Matsushige, the most proud thing in his life is that he has collected several pieces of celadon from the official kilns of the Southern Song Dynasty in China, and another, that is, he successfully digs out the old house of the Tokugawa family.

It turned out that after the descendants of the Tokugawa family held that auction, many Japanese collectors could see that the Tokugawa family was already declining, and Yu Wei was no longer there.

And life doesn’t seem to be going well, it looks more like a poor b, hehe, nervous.

Coupled with the people from the Tokugawa family, they don’t seem to be able to live very well. They are obviously in the middle of the family, but they are still paying attention to pomp and grandeur.

If they can use the way of life of ordinary people, then the wealth accumulated by the Tokugawa family for hundreds of years will be enough for them to eat for several lifetimes.

But these prodigal sons, even though they have already lost their way, still live a life of splendid clothes and jade food, and they often invite some friends to come to the house to drink and splurge.

So soon, some of the funds they raised through auctioning their property were squandered by this family.

At this time, before they held the auction here, many private collectors found their homes and offered to take the initiative to buy the treasures of the Tokugawa family.

And the people of the Tokugawa family actually agreed, because on the one hand they were in a hurry to spend the money, and on the other hand, because they thought that if they put things together for auction, the auction organizer would take too long to organize the auction, and Those guys will also take a cut of the auction revenue.

So we just opened the door and let these antique lovers come in. Everyone picks it at will, and if they like it, they will bid a price. If everyone thinks it is suitable, then the deal will be made.

And it is precisely because of the ignorance and incompetence of the descendants of the Tokugawa family that Hirota Matsushige made a big mistake.

This big leak is the famous Fuzao eggplant in Japan!

The name of this thing sounds very strange. Maybe many Chinese collectors, after hearing such a name, will be confused or even feel inexplicable.

What a godsend? What kind of eggplant dares to be called a precious cultural relic?

But if you really understand it literally, then you are very wrong. The so-called eggplant is not the eggplant. The so-called Fuzao eggplant is not the real eggplant. His real body turns out to be an eggplant. A tea can!

Don’t underestimate such tea tins. There are two tea tins of this grade in Japan. One of them is this eggplant with algae, and the other is called 99-hair eggplant! !

The name sounds so creepy! ?

But that’s actually the case. The name of the tea pot is indeed called Ninety-Nine Hair Eggplant, but another scientific name is more formal, it’s called Songshan Jianwei!

It’s really hard to imagine why the Japanese would give this tea tin such a fancy name.

And don’t think the name of the ninety-nine eggplant is funny, you must know that this tea pot looks like a small sauce pot, and it has the status and status of a top national treasure in Japan.

Even many collectors in the Japanese collection circle recognize that this tea pot has the same status as the Yao-changing Tianmu Bowl that Jin Muchen shot before!

Yes, you read that right, that ninety-nine round tea can, in the Japanese antiques world, is no less important than those Yaohuan Tianmu bowls!

Even in the Muromachi era in the 16th century, there was a Japanese record. At that time, the most precious cultural relics in Japan were the Yaotian Tianmu Bowl and this ninety-nine eggplant, and the ninety-nine eggplant was used. Eggplants could be exchanged for many valuable things in Japan at that time.

And why are these ninety-nine eggplants so precious?

This has to start from his origin. It turns out that the ninety-nine eggplants were actually the most prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty. When Japan sent a large number of Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty, those Japanese students brought back from China. Folk kiln tea cans only.

You must know that porcelain at that time was not very popular in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, even the mainstream household utensils used by the royal family were all pottery. The porcelain that could not be fired at that time was as beautiful as the Song and Yuan Dynasties. , so although there is a technique of firing porcelain, the porcelain at that time was not a tall thing.

The so-called coarse porcelain bowl was the main function of lacquerware at that time. It was generally used as a daily utensil for ordinary people to eat and drink tea, and did not derive an artistic ornamental device.

At that time, people in the Tang Dynasty still had the habit of storing tea leaves in thick porcelain jars, and the Japanese brought the tea jars and the habit of drinking tea back to Japan. Since then, Japan has gradually developed its own tea ceremony.

At that time, the upper class of Japanese society was very obsessed with the tea ceremony in order to show that they were high enough, and in order to be courteous and elegant.

At that time, the Japanese authority who was most obsessed with the tea ceremony was the Ashikaga General at that time. In order to show his elegance and taste, the main general sent people all over the world to search for the tea jars brought back by Japanese students from the Tang Dynasty. A special army was even formed for this purpose, and the name was ‘Tonghengzhong’.

Such a small army, doing nothing else, every day’s work is to help the generals of the Muromachi shogunate to find tea tins. (To be continued.)
