Chapter 8: The Bowl of Lifelessness

"Thank you!"

With Li Yi's consent, the old man carefully held up the golden bowl with both hands, looked at the bottom of the bowl, his brows stretched out instantly, and sighed in surprise: "It's a Bowl of Lifeless Life!"

He carefully stroked the belly of the bowl, looked at the patterns and golden threads more and more carefully, and nodded repeatedly and exclaimed: "That's right, the cloisonné craftsmanship and the inscription of the descendants of Yongbao, this is the first bowl in the world used by Qianlong!"

Hearing his words, everyone around was shocked!

What is this old man talking about?

Qianlong's imperial use?

The world's number one bowl?

What a joke!

If it was really a bowl used by Qianlong, could it appear in such a small stall?

The old man obviously had such doubts. He asked Li Yi in confusion: "As far as I know, this set of bowls should be in the Palace Museum? How could you have one?"

Li Yi looked at him and did not answer, but asked back: "Dare you asking if you are?"

"Oh, my name is Cai Yi."

The old man hurriedly introduced himself: "I am a research librarian at the Palace Museum, mainly engaged in the storage and research of ancient ceramics."

Hearing his self-introduction, the onlookers were shocked.

Research librarian at the Palace Museum?

This is an antique expert of the national team!

But the little black guys in the live broadcast room are still questioning.

"Good guy, the experts are all running out."

"The world's number one bowl? Why don't you brag a little harder, say it's the world's number one bowl?"

"Now you can become an expert if you just pull out someone?"

"I have seen many such masters. Could this anchor want to bring goods, so he acted in such a scene, right?"

"What? The bowl with an original price of 29,800 yuan was sold for 28 today? Ten thousand orders were put on the shelves?"

"The Palace Museum? I really dare to brag. Now the information is transparent. You can find it by checking it. I don't believe that this old man is an expert at the Palace Museum. I'll check it now!"

But before Xiao Heizi could verify, some viewers had already found Cai Yi's information.

"No need to check it. I just finished checking it. It's true. This is really Teacher Cai from the Palace Museum!"

"Damn it! It's really Teacher Cai! The ancient porcelain expert of Gubao! All the overseas porcelain exhibitions and activities of the Palace Museum were prepared by Teacher Cai!"

"I am a JDZ kiln fired kiln. Teacher Cai is very famous here. I can testify that this is Teacher Cai!"

As the audience proved one by one, the little black men were silent for a moment, but soon found a new attack angle.

"The world is getting worse! Even the experts from the Palace Museum have come out to make money."

"Teacher Cai is confused!"

Cai Yi didn't know that he was discussing him in the live broadcast room. He carefully held the bottom of the bowl and explained to Li Yi excitedly: "Sorry! I'm a little happy to see Lie. It's the first time I've seen the authentic Wanshou Wuwang Bowl among the people."

At this time, the little girl led by Mr. Huang from Yangcheng asked curiously: "Grandpa, what is the Bowl of Life without Longevity?"

Hearing the little girl's question, Cai Yi smiled and explained: "This is a batch of cloisonné tableware customized by the palace construction office on the 80th birthday of Emperor Qianlong. It represents the highest level of imperial work and is very precious."

"Cloisonne? What is cloisonne? Is it delicious?"

The little girl was confused.

"Haha! Cloisonne is not something to eat, it is the name of an ancient metal processing technology."

Cai Yi was amused by her: "The cloisonne's real name is copper-tied cloisonné enamel, also known as inlaid enamel. It is a utensil made by using soft flat copper wire to weld it into various patterns, and then fill the enamel color glaze in the pattern and then put it in a kiln to fire it.

It is a metal embryo, but it has the feel of porcelain, the process is very complicated, and the materials are expensive, so it is only produced by the palace construction office.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the palace construction office had eight very clever traditional crafts, called the Bayou of Yanjing. This cloisonné craft is the first of the Bayou of Yanjing."

Hearing Cai Yi's explanation, Lao Tang was a little nervous. He couldn't help asking: "Teacher Cai, even if this bowl is cloisonné, how did you know that it was used by Qianlong?"

If it was really a bowl used by Qianlong, then wasn’t he having a meal with cultural relics just now?

Cai Yi explained calmly when he heard this: "Because this set of Bowl of Life without Longevity was originally designed by Qianlong himself."

When it comes to professional fields, he was a little selfless, so he directly lifted the bowl and pointed to the pattern on the belly of the bowl and said, "Look at these Kuilong patterns, these lotus branches, and the words "Wanhou Wuwang" are all styles designed by Qianlong himself.

This set of tableware is the first time in history that the emperor made cloisonné tableware for himself. Qianlong was the longest-lived emperor in history and the longest-reigning period.

In his later years, he called himself a complete old man. This set of tableware was designed by him for his 80th birthday, so he checked the style, patterns and colors in all aspects. He ordered to remade it if there were any unsatisfactory points. It took him a year to complete it.

This set of tableware was used by Qianlong himself, and no one else was qualified to use it. He could only use porcelain bowls for accompanying the table.

Moreover, even he himself can only use it during festivals, state and family banquets, so this bowl is called the best bowl in the world.

Qianlong liked this set of bowls very much. You also know that Qianlong was a maniac who stamped the seal. He wanted to stamp any good thing, and this set of bowls was no exception.

He engraved four inscriptions on the abdomen of this set of bowls, which are the four words "Don's and Suns Yongbao", which means that the descendants will pass on this set of bowls as heirlooms.

So, look, are there four words like descendants Yongbao here?”

As he said that, Cai Yi held the bowl and asked Lao Tang to see it himself.

The assistant came over with a fill light and illuminated the belly of the bowl. Old Tang looked at it and saw four subtle inscriptions engraved on the Kuilong pattern. It could be vaguely recognized, which was the four words "Donsun Yongbao"!

"Damn!"

Old Tang couldn't help blurting out, his eyes widening.

This is really a Bowl of Life!

"Teacher Cai, are you saying that this is the true Qianlong royal bowl?"

He couldn't believe it and asked again.

"Just from my experience, this should be true."

Old Tang took a breath and asked quickly: "How much is this bowl worth?"

"The value of the Wanshou Wuwang Bowl cannot be measured by money."

Cai Yi said seriously: "Let me tell you this! In 2006, this set of bowls was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists.

The United States invited the Palace Museum to hold the Qianlong Emperor Exhibition. This set of bowls is also one of the exhibits, and it is the exhibit in the core area!"

He stroked the belly of the bowl and exclaimed: "If you have to use money to measure it, take this bowl as an example. Its value is definitely more expensive than that car!"

As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed to the red spicy car on the side of the road.

When the onlookers heard this, they looked at Wang Tuocong on the side.

That's his car.

Seeing the burning eyes that seemed to everyone and listening to the whispers around him, Wang Tengcong's face was expressionless.

He did not refute Cai Yi's statement.

If this bowl was really the bowl used by Qianlong, let alone his spicy method, even the subway might not be as expensive as this bowl.

But why do you think this bowl is real?

Just because the old man named Cai touches his upper lip with his lower lip?

Wang Tengcong was thinking, and a thought suddenly emerged in his mind.

Could this be a game against him?

After thinking of this, he looked at Li Yi who was washing the pot, snorted coldly, and said to the internet celebrity beauty beside him: "Go."

After saying that, he walked towards Lafa.

The internet celebrity beauty didn't dare to say much, so she hurriedly followed her.

The two got into the car, the engine roared, and the spicy method quickly drove out of the alley.

Seeing this, the onlookers couldn't help but talk excitedly.

"This boss is so awesome! He really doesn't give up any face!"

"Nonsense, a bowl of food that makes people eat is more expensive than a sports car that has scallions. Who is richer than anyone else?"
