Two days later, Xiao Zhang, who was ready, ushered in the day of travel.

Of course, there are also Su Yuli, Su Mingyu, and Xiao Zhang's old acquaintance Gou Jianguo.

"Uncle Dog!" Xiao Zhang stepped forward and greeted with a smile.

Judging from Uncle Dog's expression, this guy doesn't like this trip very much.

Uncle Dog's bitter gourd-like face squeezed out an ugly smile.

Su Mingyu on the side glared at Uncle Dog and said, "What do you mean, if you don't want to go, you can not go." ”

"No, of course I want to go to Mingyu, I have long wanted to go to Ruzhou to have a good look. Uncle Dog smiled all over his face.

It can be seen that Su Yuli's little aunt will be obedient to Uncle Dog's tidying.

"Hello little aunt. Xiao Zhang stepped forward to greet Su Mingyu.

Su Mingyu nodded, and then said to Xiao Zhang, "I heard Yuli say that you proposed this trip?"

"Yes, Ruzhou is the birthplace of Ru porcelain, after all, I am learning to make Ru porcelain, so I especially want to go and see it in person, feel it in person, and I heard Yuli say that the Su family's hometown is in Ruzhou, just go back with Yuli to see. Xiao Zhang nodded and said.

"Yes, even if you have a heart, you also know that I haven't returned to China for ten years, and I also have the heart to go back to visit, let's walk together, you and Yuli will accompany me back to worship my ancestors." Su Mingyu's face said without changing at all.

Xiao Zhang felt it.

This woman has become a strong woman in foreign countries over the years, and except for other emotional changes in Uncle Dog, she treats others completely calmly.

Uncle Dog gave Xiao Zhang a color, Xiao Zhang stopped talking, and then several people got into Uncle Dog's car and drove all the way to the airport.

……

This is the first time Xiao Zhang has left the capital in the two years since he came to the capital.

And I didn't expect to go to a very strange city.

Ruzhou is the capital of Ru porcelain, the hometown of opera, and a regional central city in southwest Henan.

Ruzhou is bordered by Songshan Mountain in the north, Funiu in the south, and the north and south mountains are rolling and extending to the middle, forming a landform of hills and rivers.

There are 42 kinds of proven mineral resources in the city, the main minerals are coal, bauxite, copper, lead, zinc, gold, cement limestone, iron, marble, dolomite, kaolin, pyrophyllite, mineral water, basalt, plum jade, phosphate rock, etc.

Among them, coal is particularly abundant, known as the "hundred miles of coal sea".

The mineral resources of RZ City have formed a resource distribution pattern of coal, aluminum, limestone is widely distributed, ceramic raw materials, geothermal, graphite are concentrated, and other non-ferrous and rare metals and other minerals are sporadically produced.

Ceramic raw material minerals pyrophyllite and feldspar are relatively concentrated, which are located in the two towns of Lingtou and Hot Springs. Ruzhou is rich in kaolin, agate, clay and other porcelain-making raw materials, which provides superior natural conditions for the generation, development, maturity and prosperity of Ru porcelain firing technology.

For the city of Ruzhou, Xiao Zhang specially checked it last night, although it is not a first-tier and second-tier city, but it has a rich cultural atmosphere.

The "Stork Stone Axe Picture Pottery Jar" in the collection of the Chinese History Museum, known as "China's earliest Chinese painting", was unearthed in Ruzhou in 1978 and has a history of 6,000 years.

With its magnificent momentum, it embodies the highest achievement in the creation of Chinese Neolithic art.

It is listed as the first of 67 immovable cultural relics in the country by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage.

Ru porcelain, Ru stone, Ru post and called "Ruzhou Three Treasures", has a long reputation, Ru porcelain ranks in the Song Dynasty "Ru, Guan, Jun, Ge, Ding" five famous kilns of the first place.

In the history of Chinese ceramics, it is known as "Ru kiln is the best", and has been rated as a national geographical indication protection product.

Of course, there are also many festivals and temple fairs in Ruzhou.

The festival activities in Ruzhou are relatively rich, divided into temple fairs, spring fairs, seasonal fairs, fairs and other local characteristics, which are well received by the masses.

The temple fairs in Ruzhou have a long history. The temple fair is not only the main form of non-governmental trade transactions, but also has an important connection with Buddhism, Taoism and other religious cultures, and is also a carrier of family and friend gatherings and cultural entertainment for the common people.

The temple fair is generally near the temple, so it is also called the ancient temple fair. In the old days, large and small temples spread all over the urban and rural areas of Ruzhou, and there were more than 20 in the urban area alone. There are more than 200 places in the city, and each has a specific meeting period, so that the local people or pilgrims from afar go to the temple to incense, chant sutras and chant Buddha, and even dance while chanting, which is very lively.

In the old days, there were theater buildings built in front of the larger temples, and during the temple fair, they invited the troupe to perform, and sometimes invited more than two sets to play against each other, so as to cheer up the temple fair.

Later, due to the destruction and reconstruction of the temples, most of them no longer existed, and the temple fair site was mostly moved to nearby villages, and the village name was called.

For example, April 15 in Qiling Township was originally the King Kong Temple, because the temple was rebuilt into the original Linru County Horticultural Factory, the site was moved to the nearby Xuzhai Village, and it was renamed Xuzhai Society.

Only some of the temples still maintain the fair. Most of the attendees visited relatives and friends, burned incense and worshiped Buddha, followed by trade in goods and entertainment activities.

Such a city with rich cultural charm makes Xiao Zhang yearn for it.

Xiao Zhang, who was sitting on the plane, began to think about how he should gain the direction he wanted to improve in Ruzhou.

Because of Su Mingyu's entourage, Su Yuli and Su Mingyu sat together, and Xiao Zhang could only sit with Uncle Dog.

Uncle Dog got on the plane, put on an eye patch and went to sleep.

Xiao Zhang quietly looked at the sky outside the window alone, thinking.

Looking forward to the trip to Ruzhou.

It's not long......

Xiao Zhang and several people landed.

Finally set foot on the land of Ruzhou.

"Let's go to the place where we live first, I have already arranged it, and I will go to the Su family's old house tomorrow. Su Mingyu took the luggage and said.

Xiao Zhang nodded, and several people left the airport.

Along the way, Xiao Zhang began to explore this strange city.

In fact, Ruzhou is not as mysterious as I imagined.

It's the same as a normal city, with pedestrians coming and going, and businesses bustling like that......

The streets are full of traffic.

Xiao Zhang also thought that according to his imagination, this should be the feeling of Ru porcelain everywhere in sight......

"Xiao Zhang, I heard the old man say that you want to visit the place where the ancients burned porcelain this time?" Su Mingyu said suddenly.

Xiao Zhang nodded and replied, "Yes, little aunt, I'm here for this." ”

"The day after tomorrow, I will go to the old house tomorrow, and I will take you to visit the day after tomorrow, I am familiar with this place, whether it is a modern porcelain ring or a porcelain burning place of the ancients, I can take you to find it. Su Mingyu said.

"Actually, you don't have to bother, little aunt, I can find it myself slowly. Xiao Zhang was still a little embarrassed.

"Little aunt doesn't like fake and polite men, Yuli actually begged me, I will help you, this matter is settled. Su Mingyu said domineeringly.

Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment, but saw that Su Yuli on Su Mingyu's side was a little blushing.

Xiao Zhang thought that Su Mingyu was suddenly so good to him, but it turned out that Su Yuli begged for mercy for him.

Xiao Zhang couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
