Chapter 5: The Beginning of the Miracle
A week of college life is full of freshness and blandness. I never met Helian Wan'er again. Under Lin Feifei's powerful offensive, Song Jun gave in, and the two came together without shame. I finally stayed up until school on Friday.
"Brothers, I'll leave first after class, Feng is waiting for me downstairs, I have to go to them to work as a coolie in the past two days. Brother Guang said.
"I also went to the suburbs with Fei Fei for two days, and I was out of the dormitory on the weekend. "Song Jun also said goodbye to us.
"Get out of here, ** naked abuse of our single dog, I'll go back to the dormitory to play games." Sun Wei's voice was a little dissatisfied.
After I packed my school bag, I also said to everyone, "Wait for me, I'll go home on the weekend." ”
Sun Wei listened to what I said, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop me, "Alas, Niuzi, you said that I came from other places, and I haven't gone around Beijing yet, you look at you, the host, whether you take me around on the weekend, I heard that this roast duck in Beijing is good." ”
"You go to Brother Guang, I finally went home. "I'm like an arrow, but I don't want to fight him.
"Brother Guang, there is no humanity of the opposite sex. Tomorrow, take me around, look at me... You can't play games every day, right. Internet addicted teenagers need your rescue, how about it..."
"I really can't stand this endless chatter, okay, tomorrow when I have time, I invite you to eat roast duck." **, Zhu Chen, do you two have time tomorrow?"
"I can't do it tomorrow, I've made an appointment with classmates, you two ask**." Zhu Chen said while sorting out things.
"I can't do it either, I got a part-time job selling mobile phones. I'm going to work tomorrow, brothers, buy a mobile phone and find me, there's a discount. Hu Shikao shouted.
"Okay, then tomorrow we will go to eat roast duck, and I should spend money to buy Qingjing. I complained.
The next day, we began to move to the capital. The capital, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, has a profound cultural heritage and a long history. There is the majesty of the Forbidden City, there are belly bursts, burnt circles, sauce elbows, honey offerings of lips and teeth, there are "canopy fish tank pomegranate trees, Mr. fat dog fat girl" in the courtyard, as well as the door piers and bird cages in the deep alleys of the alleys.
In the roast duck restaurant, Sun Wei and I chose a position next to the window and sat down. Outside the window, the sun is shining, with green tiles and red walls. Inside the window, the antique shape has a unique charm. I couldn't help but say: "This roast duck is a famous food in China, originated in the Jiankang period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty built the capital of the queen of heaven, the imperial chef took the thick and meaty lake duck in Nanjing to make dishes, with the Ming Dynasty ancestor Zhu Di moved the capital, originated in the Yongle period of the vegetable market. ”
"I don't see it, Niuzi, you're still a foodie. ”
"Hey, I love these. We can't just eat the food left by our ancestors, but also culture. ”
Sun Wei responded with a voice. At this time, the roast duck was also served.
"This roast duck is divided into hanging oven and stewing oven. Although the simmer is not as famous as the hanging stove, it has a much longer history. The duck is cooked in a dark fire, and because there is no open flame, the taste is more tender, and the juice of the duck skin is noticeably richer and fuller, which is what we eat today," I continued.
"Okay, okay, my Niu University scholar, Dr. Niu, you let me eat two bites first, I'm dying of hunger. Sun Wei looked a little impatient.
"Don't worry, this duck is also particular, you have to peel off two pieces of lotus leaf cake, each slice is smeared with sweet noodle sauce and then put green onions, cucumber strips, roast duck slices, and then sandwich roast duck slices and roll them up to eat. The lotus leaf cake evolved from the "white cake" in the Qin and Han dynasties, and there is a record of "lotus leaf cake" in the Song Dynasty "Tokyo Menghualu". I couldn't help but continue.
"Stop, stop... I have an empty stomach now, and the blood supply to the brain is seriously insufficient, can you let me eat two bites first, and then you can popularize knowledge for me. In the face of the food, the hungry Sun Wei couldn't listen to it anymore, so he interrupted me again.
"Haha, good, good. I don't know what's wrong, but today the teacher can't help but want to talk about it. ”
The delicacy of roast duck, for Sun Wei in Jiangdong, it is really this thing that should only be in the sky, and mortals on earth should taste it a few times. He was skinny, and he actually ate a duck by himself. Niu Ben, who was thinking about the tooth sacrifice, watched Sun Wei feast happily, and he drooled until Sun Wei was full of hiccup.
"Niuzi, this duck is really good, you said that in ancient times, this emperor would enjoy it, it was really good. If I were the emperor, I would eat duck three times a day. ”
"In ancient times, eating was restricted, according to the current words, it is not possible to overeat, it is necessary to have balanced nutrition, and besides, which emperor can eat a duck by himself!" I said very dissatisfied.
"Yes, yes, I'm really hungry, this duck is delicious, haha, I'll treat you to dinner in the evening. Hey, where are we going in the afternoon?" He told me hypocritically.
"Let's go to the official garden, the new walnuts are all down, buy a pair for my dad." ”
"You're too picky, so I'll buy a few catties for my uncle. "As soon as I heard about buying walnuts, Sun Wei became generous, but I really didn't want to explain it to him.
The transportation in the capital is very convenient, and after eating the roast duck, Sun Wei and I rushed to the Guanyuan Market. Guanyuan Market is located in the center of the city, adjacent to the Forbidden City, the core of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the 90s of the last century, due to urban construction, many cultural relics were unearthed from the local area, attracting **** people to come to pick up leaks, and it also spontaneously became a place for the exchange of cultural antiques, forming a well-known cultural toy market.
"It's really lively, hey, what's selling over there, and selling cats, where are you buying walnuts?" "Cow, cow, what's selling over there?" "Brother, look at that, hey, the bird seller, and the fish, it's different from my domestic one." "Since entering the market, Sun Wei's mouth has never been closed, like Grandma Liu who has just entered the Grand View Garden.
The chirping Sun Wei, like a sparrow, disturbed me with one head and two big, and I really doubt that he ate too much at noon to support it. "Wei, will you rest? Let's go buy a bottle of water to save you from thirst. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not thirsty, you see, there are a lot of people around there, let's walk, go in and have a look." Sun Wei said as he pulled me to the front of a stall.
"Damn, a bunch of people, what are you doing here. What bottles and bowls, and a bunch of broken bowls of stubble, some people also buy it, take a walk, don't look at it. Sun Wei was a little disappointed.
"You really should be doing some tuition, it's called porcelain, you know?" I said disdainfully.
"I don't know, CHINA, China, porcelain. Did I also go to school, I wondered, someone bought the good one, that's it, how can anyone still look at this broken porcelain bowl. Sun Wei's layman's words, the people around him looked at him with strange eyes, and the boss was even more angry and said, whose child is so uneducated.
Seeing the boss angry, I knew that my buddy was at a loss, so I hurriedly grabbed Sun Wei, who wanted to fight back, and said to the boss, boss, boss, I'm sorry, he is not from Beijing, he doesn't know much about us, don't care, adults don't remember villains.
Seeing that the boss was going to be unrelenting, I hurriedly raised my voice and said politely: "Yo, boss, you are a good thing~" I said complimentarily while blindly touching the broken porcelain pieces all over the floor. At this time, a red flower on a white ground, a brightly colored trapezoidal broken porcelain piece came into view.
I focused and watched. The hair color of the red pattern in the glaze is stable and thick, the red glaze is mottled with green moss-like plates, and the whole peony chrysanthemum pattern on the white background should be an old object.
"Ming Hongwu glaze red peony chrysanthemum pattern porcelain, inner and outer glaze red decoration, inner wall painted tangled chrysanthemum pattern, inner bottom double coil painted folded branch peony pattern, delicate fetal quality, genuine. "Suddenly, I heard a voice from nowhere.
"Who, who's talking!" I exclaimed.
"Why are you in a trance again, no one speaks, nervous. "Sun Wei was taken aback by me.
I secretly said in my heart, no, someone must be talking. I cheered up, but after waiting for a while, there was no more voice. Forget it, I'll buy this porcelain piece first. Then he opened his mouth and asked the price: "Boss, this red and white one has a lot of money, and the big one." ”
"The big ones are 100, and the small ones are 20 to 50. The stall owner's tone was a little hard.
I don't know what happened to Sun Wei, and exclaimed, "100! Niuzi, you can't use so much if you buy a good porcelain vase." ”
Seeing that the stall owner was about to get angry again, I hurriedly said to the stall owner: "Boss, boss, don't pay attention to him, I want 100, the little red one, pack it for me, okay." ”
After taking the things handed over by the boss, I hurriedly pulled Sun Wei and walked out of the crowd. "I said, buddy, you really don't understand at all, how can you talk like that, the boss will really do it with you when he's in a hurry, you little body, don't be beaten to death. I said with some trepidation.
According to what Brother Guang said, damn it, grandma. Niuzi, I'm really convinced of you, isn't it fragrant to eat roast duck for 100 yuan, buy these two broken porcelain pieces. Sun Wei craned his neck.
"You don't understand, this red glaze and blue glaze, that is, we say that the blue and white ratio, the production process is more difficult. This red glaze first appeared in the early Yuan Dynasty, but the Yuan Dynasty was mostly red in the whole piece, and in the Hongwu Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a pattern, and then disappeared because of the complexity of the process, and it was not restored again until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. I explained.
"Dr. Niu, Dr. Niu, I'm convinced. But even if it's a good thing, how do you know if the one you bought is real or fake, besides, you're just a porcelain piece, and it's not a complete plate and bowl, what's the use of buying it back?" Sun Wei asked me rhetorically.
I was in a hurry. "Someone just told me. ”
"What are you talking about?" asked Sun Wei angrily.
Halfway through my words, it occurred to me that the voice just now didn't seem to be heard by my ears, but in my head. Broken thoughts: "Ming Hongwu glaze red peony chrysanthemum pattern porcelain, inner and outer glaze red decoration, inner wall painted tangled chrysanthemum pattern, inner bottom double coil painted folded peony pattern, delicate fetal quality, genuine." ”
"Okay, okay, if you say it's true, let's hurry up and buy walnuts, I'll buy 2 catties for my uncle, let's have a meal, I have to go back to the dormitory, there is a guild battle at night!" Sun Wei was also angry with me and didn't want to argue anymore.
"I won't buy it, I won't buy it today. It's not the kind of walnut you said, I don't know how to tell you, I had a little headache just now, I guess I was angry with you! Okay, okay, you go back to school quickly, go to school quickly, go to your pastor sister in the game, and I'll go home too. ”
On the way home, I felt more and more headaches, pins and needles.
