After arriving in Yixing, the two of them wandered around the streets.

"That's right..."

After looking at the surrounding environment, Wang Guan also asked: "I decided to come to find Tianqing Ni. What should you plan? Where do you plan to start?"

"Uh..." Xing Qiu hesitated and spread his hands and said, "I have no plans, I'll come if I want to."

"As expected," Wang Guan shook his head and sighed: "You are just a typical hot-headed person and impulsive."

"Don't hurt my enthusiasm." Xing Qiu waved his hand and smiled, "But I know, you must have a way, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't look confident..."

"That's why I said, this is your luck." Wang Guan said casually: "I'm leaving, I want to find something, so I'll go to the pier first."

While speaking, Wang Guan stopped a car casually and after getting in the car, he directly reported the address. The driver nodded slightly, flew away immediately, and soon drove out of the city.

Seeing this, Xing Qiu asked softly: "Where are we going?"

"Ding Shu." Wang Guan explained: "There are many ceramic workshops there, and the people I want to visit are there."

"Who?" Xing Qiu asked curiously.

"A person I know." Wang Guan shrugged: "I have said a few words and exchanged contact information, but I just don't know if he still remembers me."

"Oh." Xing Qiu nodded, knowing that Wang Guan was talking about the people he knew in the business world, and he was nodding.

While the two were talking, the driver slowly drove to a small town and then stopped in a bustling street in the town. Wang Guan paid the money and asked Xing Qiu to get off the car, and then went shopping again.

Fortunately, the town is not big, so after a long walk around, Wang Guan discovered the destination.

"Chunqiufang!"

At this time, Xing Qiu looked at him and couldn't help but praise him: "The name is pretty good." After all, there is also the word Qiu in his name, so it is inevitable that he has a bit of love and romance.

"It's good. If you know the owner of the workshop, you probably feel even better." Wang Guan's words made Xing Qiu very curious: "What's the owner of the workshop?"

"Ding, Ding Chunqiu's Ding!" Wang Guan chuckled, then walked in briskly with Xing Qiu's shocked expression, and shouted loudly: "Are Boss Ding here?"

"Who." There were more than a dozen people working in the workshop. When they saw someone coming in, a middle-aged man immediately looked up and said, "Who is looking for me?"

"Boss Ding, it's me." Wang Guan walked over quickly and said with a smile: "I've parted with Longhu Mountain. I haven't seen each other for nearly a year. I don't know if I still remember me, the younger generation."

"Who are you……"

The middle-aged man hesitated a little, suddenly remembered and blurted out: "Li Mo... Brother Wang."

It seems that even after a year, there are still people who remember Li Mo in Wang Guan's hands. At least they remember Li Mo first before they remember Wang Guan.

To be honest, Wang Guan is similar. If it weren't for the fact that Boss Ding took out a master's exquisite purple clay teapot made by a master at the treasure meeting last year, he would probably not have thought of coming to find Boss Ding after he came to Yixing.

It is understandable to remember the baby first and then the person who owns it. So Wang Guan would not be surprised, but instead smiled happier: "It's good for Boss Ding to remember it. It's really disturbing to come here to visit."

"Don't disturb me, welcome to visit me..." Boss Ding hurriedly greeted him. After a few polite words, he led the two of them to walk to the reception room of the workshop.

The living room is relatively spacious, but because it is a place for work, it is also simple to place, just a coffee table and a few chairs. However, in front of the living room, there is an occupancy platform, and a statue of a monk is enshrined on the stage.

Seeing this situation, Xing Qiu was naturally a little surprised, but Wang Guan understood what was going on.

You should know that all walks of life have their own ancestors. For example, the carpenter's ancestor is Lu Ban, the inventor of wine is Yidi or Du Kang, the silk-making silk is used to promote Huangdi's wife, and the Taoist ancestral arts in Yixing is worshipped by Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li.

It is said that after Fan Li helped King Goujian of Yue to destroy Wu, he immediately retired with his beautiful woman Xi Shi, and then started a ceramic business. In the end, he accumulated a huge amount of money in business, so he was naturally regarded as the ancestor by Tao Ye. However, although the purple clay teapot was classified as the Tao Ye in ancient times, the ancestor worshipped was not Fan Li, but a strange monk who started to be a different monk.

This place in China is quite magical. No matter what it appears, it will always be accompanied by a beautiful legend. The purple clay teapot is no exception. It is said that a long time ago, a monk with a strange image passed by Dingshu Town. While walking, he asked people crazy whether they wanted to buy wealth.

When ordinary people hear it, they will definitely sneer. However, an experienced old potter in one of them moved his heart and immediately followed the strange monk, then dug out colorful ores on the mountain.

The old potter brought back these wonderful five-color ores to crush, mash and fire. According to the equipment of different clay materials, the fired products will be colorful and colorful. The pear skin color, crabapple red, sky blue, dark green, dark black, dark purple, and a wide variety. Made of coarse sand, it is thick and thick; fine sand, it is moist but not greasy, and it is indescribable.

It was from that time that the purple clay teapots were separated from the pottery industry and formed their own lineage. The strange monk naturally became the founder of the purple clay teapot industry and was worshipped by everyone.

Of course, this is why purple clay has the same name as five-color mud, the other name of wealthy land. Generally speaking, people are still very happy to call purple clay a wealthy land. After all, the name is very auspicious and has profound meanings.

The legend is true or false, no one will be serious. Everyone knows that when they discover this kind of wealthy land, they have indeed supported many people, so it is natural to worship those who discover this land. After all, Chinese people still pay more attention to drinking water and remembering the source. They do not forget to dig wells when drinking water. This is a good tradition and worth inheriting.

Just like now, when Boss Ding serves tea to treat guests, Wang Guan and Xing Qiu naturally have to express their gratitude verbally.

At the same time, Boss Ding asked tentatively: "Little brother, is this coming to Yixing for fun?"

"I won't go to the Three Treasures Palace without any trouble." Wang Guan smiled embarrassedly: "I came here this time, but I wanted to inquire about something from Boss Ding."

"You said, as long as you can, there is absolutely nothing to say." Boss Ding slapped his chest, and he was a little generous.

"This may make Boss Ding laugh at it, but there is a reason for it, so I have to come and inquire." Wang Guan smiled helplessly: "I guess Boss Ding knows the sky blue mud, we are here for it."

"Sky Green Ni?" Boss Ding was stunned for a moment, then smiled relievedly, "If the little brother came for other things, I might be surprised, but for the sake of Sky Green Ni, I was really not surprised at all."

"Let me put it this way, there are more than 20 purple clay teapot companies in Yixing, more than 1,000 private workshops, and about 30,000 to 50,000 formal employees, and countless people are related to it." Boss Ding estimated for a moment and said with a smile: "In addition to the merchants, collectors, and Taobao people who came here, there are a large number of people, and everyone is looking for Tianqing Mud."

"Understand." Wang Guan nodded and asked with a smile: "Have anyone found it?"

"It is said that someone has found it." Boss Ding smiled.

Xing Qiu's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"

"Calm down." Wang Guan shook his head gently and smiled: "It's just said that it is true or false, who can tell the truth accurately?"

"That's right, Brother Wang is worthy of being an expert and understands the meaning of it." Boss Ding smiled and said, "Let me say this. If this brother came alone and asked me if there is any sky blue mud, then I must tell him, yes! I have a piece of sky blue mud, which was passed down from the ancestors. Do you want it?"

Xing Qiu smiled awkwardly. He was not really stupid, so he naturally understood what it meant. Is there any? That is the target? You, an outsider, want to buy Tianqing Mud, who else can you cheat if you don’t?

"Boss Ding is joking again..." Wang Guan smiled and pulled the topic back: "Even if there is no sky blue mud, there should be blue mud in the bottom groove."

"It seems that Brother Wang is planning to go all the way, and the green mud in the bottom groove is also very rare." Boss Ding sighed and then smiled, "But I have some on hand, but the price is not cheap."

"Boss Ding, please pay attention. What I want is the green mud in the bottom groove of Huanglong Mountain." Wang Guanman reminded him carelessly.

Wang Guan said this, which is also very particular. You should know that Huanglong Mountain can be called the cradle of purple clay teapots. Since the popularity of purple clay teapots in Ming and Qing Dynasties, potters in Yixing have collected purple clay teapots in Huanglong Mountain. The reason must be that Huanglong Mountain has excellent quality purple clay teapots, and the quality of the purple clay teapots made is better.

In other words, the purple sand mud produced in Huanglong Mountain is a high-quality essence in clay. However, everyone knows that ore is a non-renewable resource. After being dug for hundreds of years, there will definitely be fewer and fewer good things. Therefore, in order to protect purple sand resources, the local government once issued a ban on mining.

In this case, the potters had to go to other places to mine. However, the quality of purple clay in other places is definitely not as good as that of purple clay in Huanglongshan. This is the difference between old pits and new pits. The purple clay teapots made are different, so there will definitely be some distinction in price and cannot be confused.

"Brother Wang is really an expert."

Boss Ding sincerely praised it and sighed: "If you say this, I don't have the things you want. And even if there are such things, there will not be many. Because they are extremely scarce clay materials, people with such things on hand may not be willing to take action."

"That's right..." Wang Guan nodded slightly.

There was nothing to say about the situation next. Wang Guan continued to chat with Boss Ding. After half an hour of chatting, he stood up and said goodbye. Boss Ding must have kept him. After some politeness, Wang Guancai and Xing Qiu left Chunqiu.
