Chapter 49: Teaching Really Fast
"Cooked walnut kernels are oily and dry, and they are easy to crack after being smeared. Dong Qing said, pointing to the two pen holders in the cabinet and said, "Have you looked at those two pen holders?"
Ye Xiaochi looked in the direction of his fingers, and the two pen holders showed a brownish-red oily color, but it was a pity that although the pulp was good, there were still a few slight cracks at the low end of the pen holders.
"Those two are from the early Qing Dynasty, the one on the left is the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, and the one on the right is engraved on the Chibi Night Tour. Although they have been carefully maintained, after a long time, there are still cracks in the circle that protrudes outward at the bottom. This is still good maintenance, if the maintenance can't keep up, it will be finished by now, maybe it will all crack into something?"
Ye Xiaochi understood that this teacher Dong was telling her about the importance of maintenance.
"Oh, what's that slender one?" Next to the pen holder are also carved cylinders with various patterns, and there are also deep or shallow pulp, but certainly not for the brush. The length is based on the ruler used by elementary school students, and it is either longer or shorter. It's also much thinner than a pen holder.
"It's not a pen holder, it's an incense stick. "I said in advance, take her with me, since she is willing to ask, Dong Qing naturally will not hide it, there are too many things in the store, and he can't find a satisfactory person to share it, he can't be busy. I wish someone could help him sooner.
"Have you heard of "The Legend of the West Chamber"?"
Seeing Ye Xiaochi's hesitation, Dong Qing pointed to an incense tube, with a classical-style small building carved on the tube, as well as three figures, a man and two women, and she understood the reason why Dong Qing talked about "The Legend of the West Chamber".
It seems that this incense tube is carved based on "The Legend of the West Chamber", a man and two women are Zhang Sheng, Cui Yingying and the matchmaker, Xiaolou may be Cui Yingying's boudoir.
A girl like Cui Yingying, who stays at home, has no chance to meet a foreign man, and is full of imagination and longing for her future life, suddenly meets a scholar who can speak well, is abrupt and bold, and she is afraid that she will throw her heart into it all of a sudden, right?
Ye Xiaochi reminded herself at this time to stop thinking nonsense, listening to this Teacher Dong's class, this can also be distracted? She immediately replied: "This is the story of "The Legend of the West Chamber" engraved on it, right?"
"That's right, it's the incense stick in the West Chamber. As for what is engraved on the other pen holders and incense sticks, you can also remember that this is a open-carved Panasonic play baby picture incense tube, and the others are ladies' dressing, West Garden elegant collection pictures, and poetry characters...... As for this incense tube, it is also engraved by the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, although it is a little different from the one engraved by the pen holder, but the source of the allusion is the same, the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest know who it is, right?"
Ye Xiaochi: "......" Teacher Dong said so much in one breath, and she was not afraid that she would not be able to remember?
"Know ......"
After Ye Xiaochi told the allusions to the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, Dong Qing expressed his satisfaction and told her: "There are a lot of things in antiques, so learn them little by little first." ”
Ye Xiaochi: Didn't you let her learn to maintain these cultural antiques?
But Dong Qing didn't allow her to think about it, and started a new round of devilish indoctrination, he opened the door of the next cabinet, pointed to the bamboo products inside, and told Ye Xiaochi:
"These are from the early and middle Qing Dynasty, you remember. There are pen holders, arm rests, cover boxes, fan bones, bamboo carving Ganoderma lucidum Ruyi, bamboo carving chess two boxes, those arm rests have Liu Binhua's bamboo carving poems and texts, Pan Xifeng carved Confucius statue arm rest and Xu Subai, Tang Yun bamboo green arm rest......"
Ye Xiaochi thought to herself, what did this Teacher Dong want to teach her? Did he treat her as a superman?
Ye Xiaochi was not mistaken, Dong Qing then told her who the characters he mentioned just now were, and then stopped.
"That's a lot to say just now, how much can you remember?"
Ye Xiaochi thought to himself, you also know that there is a bit too much, if you don't concentrate a little, you will miss what he has to say.
"It's okay, remember most of it. Hearing Ye Xiaochi's answer, Dong Qing nodded, it's okay to remember most of it, I didn't expect her to remember it all, after all, he said it so fast.
Ye Xiaochi didn't know that on the first day she came, Dong Qing said so much at once, did she want to give her a disgrace? Lin Lin always told the names and allusions of more than 100 bamboo antiques at once, and if her memory and reaction ability were a little worse, she would be stunned now.
"Oh, then you can talk about it casually......" Ye Xiaochi listened, so he really said a dozen or so casually, and then he heard a soft sound of the stairs, and Zuo Yucheng appeared at the door.
"The customer is gone?" Dong Qing asked when he saw Zuo Yucheng.
"Well, let's go, how about you guys here, I'll take Xiao Ye to the back community to have a look in a while. ”
"Well, it's okay, I'll be done right away. Hearing Dong Qing say this, Zuo Yucheng knew that he was more satisfied with Ye Xiaochi, so he went down first.
Dong Qing explained to Ye Xiaochi: "If you are willing to do it here, you will be responsible for the daily maintenance of all kinds of antiques and cultural toys in the store recently. This afternoon, you will come and take care of the remaining few washed pen holders, and the rest will be put away without my consent, and what to do will teach you the same in the future, and then learn the maintenance of bronze, jade, porcelain and other miscellaneous items in a few days. What do you think?"
"Yes. Ye Xiaochi and he are currently limited to the relationship between teaching and learning, so he only answered three words briefly.
"Okay, you understand, let's go down with me first. Saying that, Dong Qing opened the door, locked the door after Ye Xiaochi went out, and then followed Ye Xiaochi down the stairs. Zuo Yucheng was looking at a strange-shaped bronze piece in the cubicle downstairs, and when he saw them coming down, Zuo Yucheng stood up and asked, "Is Xiao Ye interested in this work?"
Ye Xiaochi nodded, in fact, she was very interested, it felt like opening the door to a new world, and when she took those antiquities just now, she was in a very happy mood.
"Oh, that's good, I'll show you the house outside the market. If you want, you can live in a dormitory, you have your own family, and you have to make lunch recently, do you think you can do it?"
This was agreed with her in advance, and Ye Xiaochi naturally had no opinion. Dong Qing explained next to him: "You can do it for two days, the aunt who cooks will come back the day after tomorrow, and then you can concentrate on working here, and she will send the meal over when the time comes." ”
Hearing Dong Qing say this, Zuo Yucheng glanced at him twice, did he deliberately explain it to Ye Xiaochi?
