Upon hearing Zhou Dachuan’s mockery, everyone present who knew about antiques frowned in surprise.
They also knew that authentic official kilns must leave a mark at the bottom.
This not only highlights the noble aura unique to official kilns, but also prevents clandestine trading.
It’s important to note that in ancient times, illegal trading of such porcelain was rampant and difficult to stop.
Seeing everyone seriously pondering Zhou Dachuan’s words, Hu Xiaobei knew they thought Zhou Dachuan made sense.
In fact, if it weren’t for spotting the anomalies of this porcelain plate earlier, Hu Xiaobei would certainly have agreed with Zhou Dachuan.
But at this moment, Hu Xiaobei felt that what he said was completely wrong.
One could even say it’s completely off the mark!
Not hearing a response from Hu Xiaobei, Zhou Dachuan assumed Hu Xiaobei was feeling guilty now!
With a smug sneer, Zhou Dachuan continued to ridicule, "What’s the matter? Out of words? Want to find a hole to crawl into?"
With a look at the smug Zhou Dachuan, Hu Xiaobei retorted coldly, "Don’t kid me, I just don’t want to argue with trash like you. Before, I thought you were an expert; now it seems you’re really shallow!"
"Shallow? You think I’m shallow? Alright, I’m all ears. I want to see what you’ve got to say."
With that, Zhou Dachuan folded his arms and looked at Hu Xiaobei...
He was willing to give all his attention to Hu Xiaobei...
Because he believed that the more attention Hu Xiaobei received, the more embarrassed he would be.
"Since you want to hear it, I’ll explain it well to you!"
When Hu Xiaobei started speaking, he glanced at the others present and suddenly said, "I wonder, have you heard of Zhang Zheng before?"
"Zhang Zheng?"
Murmuring the name mentioned by Hu Xiaobei, they began to ponder hard!
Soon, thoughts surfaced in their minds.
Then, one person suddenly spoke quickly, "Are you talking about that particularly gifted ceramics expert?"
"Yes! I’m talking about the very famous ceramics expert!"
Hu Xiaobei nodded lightly...
Simultaneously, information about Zhang Zheng surfaced in Hu Xiaobei’s mind.
These details about Zhang Zheng were previously shared with Hu Xiaobei by Manager Tai.
Earlier, Hu Xiaobei discovered some hidden markings on the porcelain kiln and discussed it with Manager Tai.
Manager Tai indicated that someone would leave such special hidden marks on a finished porcelain kiln.
That person is Zhang Zheng...
Zhang Zheng’s father was a formidable ceramics master.
From a young age, Zhang Zheng studied ceramics with his father.
Being exceptionally intelligent and eager to learn, he mastered all ceramic crafting techniques early on.
After mastering them, he learned from his father’s colleagues. Thus, upon reaching adulthood, he became an absolutely top-tier ceramics master.
At the time, many believed Zhang Zheng was destined to succeed his father’s legacy and become a great ceramics crafting master.
However, later, he simply ran away.
The reason being his father was wrongly accused and tragically died in prison.
His father’s death made him realize that crafting ceramics was meaningless, so he directly ran away to live in seclusion.
After hiding, he was still willing to craft some ceramics himself!
He wanted to leave a mark on his crafted ceramics, but knew he couldn’t, as he was living in seclusion and being discovered would be disastrous.
Yet, not leaving a mark felt wrong, so he quietly left a small mark that belonged to him.
