The leader pointed at Xiaopang, yelling: “Return my limited-edition star player card!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXiaopang slammed the eggplant teapot on the table, his face flushing. “I didn’t take it! It crawled in by itself!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOld Zhang squinted at the teapot—he’d seen plenty of eggplant gourd styles, but none with a sliver of colorful paper peeking from the lid seam. He reached to touch it, but the boy in blue jersey snatched the pot, weighing it: “This lousy eggplant could hide a card?” He raised it to smash on the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Don’t!” Old Zhang and Xiaopang shouted in unison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe teapot thudded onto the bluestone slab—unbroken. Instead, it bounced, “clicking” as something fell out—not a star player card, but half a chocolate bar. The blue jersey gaped: “Where’s my card?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen came a rustling from inside. Xiaopang grabbed the pot, tipping it upside down. A shower of odds and ends tumbled out: an eraser, paperclips, a rock-hard potato chip. Finally, a crumpled star player card flopped out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I knew it was with you!” The blue jersey lunged, but Old Zhang suddenly pointed at the pot’s base, laughing: “Look what’s carved here!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey crowded around. Scrawled on the eggplant teapot’s bottom were messy characters: “Xiaopang’s Snack Vault.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXiaopang’s face burned. “I-I just stashed a few things…”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe red jersey smacked his thigh: “No wonder my eraser went missing yesterday!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOld Zhang smoothed things over, brewing a pot of Biluochun and pouring each a cup from the eggplant teapot. The blue jersey smacked his lips: “Not gonna lie, this ‘purple eggplant’ makes good tea.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXiaopang hurried to return the card, hugging his teapot with a grin: “Grandpa made this. He said it looks like an eggplant—real good at ‘holding stuff.’”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOld Zhang eyed the plump pot, thinking: It’s not just “holding stuff”—it’s a trouble-making little rascal. After that, every art student knew: Wang Xiaopang had an “Eggplant Agent” that stored snacks and brewed tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQie Gua teapot, 200cc, Purple clay\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"www.chinxingtc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44824841322694,"sku":null,"price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/3781\/0118\/files\/20250806153109.jpg?v=1754465547","url":"https:\/\/www.chinxingtc.com\/zh\/products\/qie-gua-teapot","provider":"www.chinxingtc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
