Chapter 81: Be careful

Meng Zitao told the origin of the Jiajiang paper, pointed to the date on the scroll, and said: "This painting was created in 1941.

According to the literature, until 1946, Zhang Daqian still used Jiajiang paper, let alone in 1941, he was still in Dunhuang.

Qing Wenhua said with a smile: "Lao Qiu, can you name one, two, three?"

Qiu Zhijian snorted coldly: "What's this, maybe he painted it for someone else, but what about the person who provided rice paper?"

Qing Wenhua said with a smile: "Yes, since you said so, then this bet will not be played today, anyway, no matter what you say, you can find out the crooked reason." ”

Qiu Zhijian also knew that he was cheating, and he had lost face in front of the juniors, so he had a retreat in his heart: "Hey, the public says that the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, you can think whatever you like!"

After saying that, he quickly put away the scroll and prepared to leave.

After walking a few steps, Qiu Zhijian turned around again and said to Meng Zitao: "Young man, next time remember to respect the old and love the young, that is, when you meet me, if it is someone else, it will not be so easy to speak." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Meng Zitao to react, he went out.

"This old guy, he is really going back more and more!" Qing Wenhua couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart when he saw that he was still so unrelenting. Originally, you Qiu Zhi saw that he had nothing to do, but now he still complains about others, if you want to be respected by others, you have to respect others first!

"It's okay, I was a little impulsive just now. ”

Meng Zitao hurriedly waved his hand, maybe because he was born in the wrong way, when Qiu Zhijian sprinkled the fire on his head just now, he was a little annoyed in his heart, so he said it unceremoniously.

However, after all, he is a junior, and what he did just now makes people feel a little young and vigorous, so he says this, so as not to make Qing Wenhua have a bad impression of himself. As for his heart, he felt that Qiu Zhi had better die far away when he saw this kind of person who relied on the old and sold the old.

Qing Wenhua said: "What's this, let's have one to say, two to say, twist and pinch, I don't like it the most." ”

Speaking of this, he patted his chest: "As for Lao Qiu, you don't have to worry, if he makes trouble for you, you can come to me!"

Meng Zitao hurriedly expressed his gratitude, but he didn't think that Qiu Zhijian could do anything to him, besides, for this little thing, Qiu Zhijian hated him, and he was too cautious. What's more, he doesn't rely on Qiu Zhijian to eat, and Qiu Zhijian has nothing to do with him at all.

Wang Zhixuan smiled beside him, he also didn't like Qiu Zhijian very much in his heart, so he let Meng Zitao play at will, otherwise he would remind him somewhat.

Qing Wenhua said: "By the way, Xiao Wang, I don't know what the young man's name is. ”

Wang Zhixuan introduced with a smile: "This is my junior, Meng Zitao, who has just set up an antique shop. ”

"Good old man!" Meng Zitao hurriedly greeted respectfully.

"You're welcome. ”

Qing Wenhua smiled and waved his hand, and said: "As the saying goes, without diamonds, without porcelain work, Xiao Meng can take down the antique shop, it seems that he has a high attainment in antiques, right?"

Meng Zitao hurriedly said: "Where, I am far from Uncle Wang, and I have to study hard with him in the future." ”

Wang Zhixuan took over and said: "Xiao Meng is still young, and he still needs to polish it." ”

After a while of polite words, Qing Wenhua asked, "Xiao Meng, what is the name of your antique shop?" ”

As he spoke, he handed the paper and pen to Meng Zitao.

"Pavilion. Meng Zitao hurriedly reported the name he had come up with, then picked up the brush and wrote it down.

"Hey, Xiao Meng, your regular script is good, how long have you been practicing?"

Seeing the regular script written by Meng Zitao, Qing Wenhua's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Wang Zhixuan next to him was also a little surprised, he really didn't know that Meng Zitao actually wrote a good calligraphy.

Speaking of which, Mencius's regular script is really good, it looks strong and solemn, and it already has some style. However, this change was only made after the ability was obtained, and at first, he was a little surprised, but he was relieved when he thought about the magic of the ability.

Meng Zitao said: "I started practicing when I was a child, and I have been intermittent during the period, and I haven't counted how long it has been. ”

Qing Wenhua said with some joy: "Then you have to take some time to practice every day, so as not to waste your talent." ”

Speaking of this, he hurriedly turned around, opened the cabinet door, looked for a while, took out an old notebook, and handed it to Meng Zitao: "This is some of my experience in practicing calligraphy in my early years, you see, if there is any problem, just come to me." ”

Meng Zitao hurriedly took the note and solemnly expressed his gratitude.

In fact, he is very interested in calligraphy in his heart, otherwise he would not choose to study literary play, as for why he did not practice the previous good calligraphy, it is also because of the rebellious psychology of his parents, since you want me to practice, I just don't practice.

Thinking about it now, Meng Zitao felt that he was too naΓ―ve at that time, and he regretted it somewhat.

"Practice hard, we are old, and in the future, we will rely on you young people to carry forward the traditional culture. ”

Qing Wenhua smiled and patted Meng Zitao's shoulder, and began to write a door plaque for Meng Zitao. After a little preparation, the three words "Gathering Pavilion" were completed in one fell swoop under his pen.

I saw these three words, the penmanship was round and skillful, the pen was strong and strong, and the momentum was magnificent, so that Meng Zitao and Wang Zhixuan couldn't help but applaud loudly.

Wang Zhixuan complimented: "Old Qing, I haven't seen you for a while, and your words have gone to the next level." ”

"It's ok. Qing Wenhua smiled slightly: "Xiao Meng's name is also good, gather rewards, come to the top, does it mean that the latter will come first?"

Meng Zitao smiled shyly, Qing Wenhua did guess correctly, but Wang Zhixuan was here, even if he had this meaning, it was inconvenient for him to say it.

Wang Zhixuan said with a smile: "There is a way that is better than the blue, I still wish your achievements were higher than mine, what are you embarrassed to say." ”

Qing Wenhua echoed: "As the old saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and young people should have such ambitions." ”

Meng Zitao hurriedly hugged his fists to the two: "Listen to the teachings of the two!"

Next, the three of them chatted for a while, and Qing Wenhua suddenly remembered something and said, "You wait for me." ”

With that, he went out the door, and after a while, he walked in with a brocade box.

"This is a water agarwood carving Guanyin that my son bought for me, I smell the fragrance is relatively light, and it doesn't look as good as the agarwood given to me by a friend before, please help you professionals to see if it's true or fake." ”

After listening to Qing Wenhua's words, Wang Zhixuan said with a smile: "Qing Lao, you can't tell the truth of your agarwood just by the fragrance. ”

Qing Wenhua said a little strangely: "Why, I heard them say, shouldn't a good agarwood taste very fragrant?"

"That's not right!"

Wang Zhixuan said: "In fact, agarwood has a faint fragrance when it is placed still, but the intensity of the fragrance is related to many factors, not that the better the quality, the stronger the agarwood, nor the greater the oil content, the stronger the agarwood." Even the low-grade Qionghai white wood has a strong taste. ”

"Some ingredients are more likely to volatilize their fragrance, while others are more hidden and difficult to smell. If it is incense, as long as the variety is about the same, the fragrance is also about the same, and it has little to do with the specific oil content. And the fragrance of smoked agarwood is even stronger, which is certain. ”

"Oh, I see. Qing Wenhua showed a sudden look: "In that case, the agarwood that my son bought should be real." ”

Wang Zhixuan said with a smile: "We haven't seen it yet, and we don't know if it's true or not, but there shouldn't be a problem." ”

"Not to mention, just the third child in my family is blind, but anything is possible. Qing Wenhua shook his head, opened the box and took out the things.

Wang Zhixuan took the thing in his hand and appreciated it, nodded and said, "Well, this is indeed water agarwood." ”

Qing Wenhua smiled and asked, "How much can it be worth now?"

Wang Zhixuan hesitated for a moment and said, "A thousand dollars." ”

"Oh, Chi...... You say it's only worth a thousand dollars?" Qing Wenhua was a little dumbfounded.

Wang Zhixuan nodded and said, "Yes, this is an ordinary water agarwood, so it's only worth this money." ”

Qing Wenhua opened his mouth wide, and after half a sound, he scolded angrily: "This rabbit cub actually dares to lie to me and tell me that this thing is worth hundreds of thousands." I'll let him know that the three eyes of Lord Ma are known!"

At this time, Meng Zitao spoke: "Qing Lao, maybe he was also deceived and regarded water agarwood as agarwood incense. ”

Wang Zhixuan nodded: "It's really possible." ”

Qing Wenhua hurriedly asked, "What, is there any difference between this water agarwood and agarwood incense?"

Meng Zitao explained: "The so-called agarwood incense refers to the fact that agarwood can sink to the bottom after being placed in water because of its considerable amount of oil, high density, and specific gravity greater than water. It is generally believed that the agarwood with an oil content of more than 80% is sinking water, and correspondingly, the half-sinking and half-floating in the water is called 'stack incense', and the floating on the water surface is called 'yellow ripe incense', and their oil content is smaller. ”

"Water agarwood is also called water grid agarwood, this name talks about the formation principle of agarwood, that is to say, the agarwood tree must be alive, and the wound through the water infection of the disease after the lesion, and finally formed agarwood. ”

"The formation of water agarwood is characterized by a large area, thick and deep incense, and slightly faster incense. Other non-water-cell agarwood varieties are generally infected in a smaller area, slower to set incense, and the thickness of incense is also thin. For example, the thickness of 5 years of agarwood is often equivalent to the thickness of 50 years or more of general non-agarwood. It also tastes bitter and spicy. ”
