Chapter Eighty-Four: The Big Red Robe
What Lu Zheng didn't know was that Lu Shu hurriedly came to the courtyard next to him with the bird food jar.
There is a great god living here - the miscellaneous expert of the Palace Museum, Zhu Hengren.
This is an old man about 60 years old who is about 60 years old and wears a suit, his hair is meticulously combed, his face is thin, and he is not smiling.
Lu Shu said with a smile on his face: "His third master, please take a look at this thing with your palm." As he spoke, he put the bird food jar on the table in front of Zhu Hengren. When asking someone to authenticate the porcelain, you can't hand it directly to the other person.
Zhu Hengren casually glanced at the shape of the bird food jar, and exclaimed, "Oops, I'll go!"
He then turned around and ran into his studio, pulling out a complete set of identification tools: a magnifying glass, a flashlight, a portable digital microscope, and so on.
Portable digital microscope, in the process of observing the natural aging traces of ancient ceramic glaze, can clearly observe the existence of ancient ceramics themselves in the existence of true and false physical evidence, it can clearly observe the natural aging traces of ancient ceramic glaze, just like the picture microscopic one by one clearly presented in the eyes of Zhu Hengren.
He also observed whether there were aging bubbles such as broken bubbles, death bubbles (dry bubbles), crystalline bubbles, etc., and the crystals on the glaze surface inside and outside the tank, which could also be identified by traces, such as soil Qin, water Qin, acid and alkali Qin and other erosion conditions.
After careful observation and analysis, Zhu Hengren came to the conclusion that the natural aging traces are obvious, and the glaze surface crystals are more obvious. Combined with his own experience, it can be preliminarily judged that this is a fine product handed down from generation to generation, and then combined with factors such as modeling and workmanship and carcass heaviness, it should be born in the late Ming Dynasty, when this was very popular.
Lu Shu couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, and reached out to touch his pocket, ready to give the appraisal fee, but because he was in a hurry to go out, the four pockets were empty. He looked at the scum in embarrassment, and the latter touched the soft girl with understanding, and respectfully placed it on Lu Shu's hand.
This is the fourth set of soft girls issued in 87, with a maximum denomination of 100 yuan, that is, the whole body is silver-gray, the front is a photo of four Chinese great men, and the back is a landscape painting of the middle section of the Luoxiao Mountains at the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi provinces.
Lu Shu greeted with a smile: "His third master, you have worked hard, this is tea money." Let's play chess together another day. After speaking, he stuffed Zhu Hengren into his pocket, and left after holding his fist slightly at the latter.
Scum Hui carefully put away the jar, nodded and apologized to Zhu Hengren, and then followed the footsteps of Lu Shu and left.
Zhu Hengren smiled and patted the slightly bulging purse, and quickly put away his belongings.

When Lu Shu came home humming a little song, Lu Zheng was in his room, ready to take some spare time to continue his great cause of writing. As soon as he wrote less than a hundred words, he heard Lu Shu shouting in the inner courtyard: "Good grandson, come here, I have a treasure of good tea here, let's drink it today and try the taste!"
Lu Zheng can only drink coffee and black tea in the United States, as soon as he hears that there is good tea to drink, where can he care about writing a book, let it go to hell!
Lu Shu held a ceramic tea caddy in the main room and introduced: "This is Wuyi rock tea, which is often called Da Hong Pao, but it is not from those mother trees." After speaking, he glanced at Lu Zheng kindly, and continued to popularize science: "This is Wuyi Mountain produced in the southeast of Qixiujia, and tea trees grow in rock crevices. It is said that this is the second-generation Zhengyan tea cut on the No. 3 mother tree. ”
The latter understood and brought a stove and a copper kettle. Lu Shu took the stove handed over by Lu Zheng, uncovered the lid at the bottom, made the fire burn a little stronger, and said: "This is still a good thing given to me by that old guy from Bai Xingcheng, you have a good mouth today." ”
The slag Hui was very discerning and brought a kung fu tea set - a set of blue and white porcelain teacups, while waiting for the water to boil, Lu Shu continued to popularize science:
In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, Ding Xian went to Beijing to take the examination, suddenly got sick when passing through Wuyi Mountain, the abdominal pain was unbearable, and he happened to meet a monk in Tianxin Yongle Temple, and the monk took the tea leaves he hid to brew and drink with him, and the pain stopped.
After winning the examination, he came to thank the monk and asked about the origin of the tea, and after learning about it, he took off his big red robe and circled the tea bush three times, and draped it on the tea tree, so he got the name of "big red robe". The champion took the big red robe in a tin can and brought it back to the capital.
After the champion returned to the court, he happened to meet the queen's illness, and the hundred doctors were ineffective, so he took out the pot of tea and offered it, the queen gradually recovered after drinking, the emperor was overjoyed, and gave a red robe, and ordered the champion to go to the Nine Dragons (kē) to drape on the tea tree to show the dragon's grace, and at the same time send someone to take care of it, and all the tea leaves were collected to pay tribute, and they were not allowed to hide privately.
Since then, Wuyi Rock Tea Da Hong Pao has become a tribute tea exclusively for the royal family, and the reputation of Da Hong Pao has also spread to the world. Legend has it that every year the officials sent by the imperial court wore a big red robe, and the robe was untied and hung on the tree of tribute tea, so it was called the big red robe.
After Lu Shu finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Zheng proudly: "How about it, we have been in China for 5,000 years, and there are so many stories that we can't finish it in a lifetime." ”
After saying that, the water in the pot just made a "rustling" sound, and Lu Shu waited for its sound to become smaller, and immediately lifted the copper kettle, poured the pot over the cup, and then put the copper kettle on the stove to continue to burn.
At this time, I saw him gently open the tea can, pour a little and put it on a piece of white paper that I don't know where to make it, divide it according to the coarse subdivision, put the thickest one at the bottom of the teapot and the dripping mouth, then put the fine powder on the middle layer, and then put the coarse leaves on top.
After Lu Shu finished doing this, the water in the pot just came out of the spout of the pot with strings of water beads, he lifted the copper kettle, opened the lid of the teapot, and slowly rushed into the hot boiling water along the spout and edge of the pot, sometimes high, sometimes low. Don't say it, its movements are smooth and have a unique charm.
After filling the teapot with water, he lifted the lid of the teapot again, gently scraped the tea foam from the spout, and then gently closed the lid of the teapot. Boiling water from a copper kettle is then poured onto the teapot, he explains: "This is to make the hot air attack inside and outside, forcing the aroma in the tea to volatilize quickly." As soon as he finished speaking, all the foam on the surface of the teapot was washed away.
After he had done the above work, he quickly poured the remaining water from the copper kettle into the center of each cup, with a sonorous and powerful gesture.
At this time, the water in the cup was completely exhausted, and he refilled the copper kettle with cold water, put it on the stove and continued to boil. When he turned back to the tea tray, the water on the surface of the teapot had just evaporated, and he slowly poured the tea into the fair cup.
The tea is light at the beginning and strong later, and the tea soup as a whole presents a bright visual sense of orange and yellow.
Lu Shu quickly used the fair cup to take turns spilling tea into the teacup, and the aroma suddenly filled the entire room.
Lu Shu took the lead in picking up the cup in front of him, took a sip, and said with satisfaction: "This soup has a sweet aftertaste, fragrant lips and teeth, it is really the best in tea!"
He looked at Lu Zheng and admonished: "I know everything you do in the United States, and the girl of the Stillman family is a good girl, it's a pity." But I'm not very optimistic about the daughter of the Song family, her heart is not in the country. After speaking, he squinted at Lu Zheng, and saw that the latter had no reaction and continued: "Although you are an adult, you are still young, if you look for a wife in the future, you should find a domestic one, after all, our roots are here." ”
Lu Zheng looked at him in amazement, at a loss, I really didn't expect to find a wife now, your old thinking is too far, right?
Besides, who can say clearly about emotional matters?
