Eating delicious food, everyone's topic is of course inseparable from this, and they all become gourmets. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Zhixuan said to a plate of bad button meat on the table: "Speaking of which, it's really not easy to eat our authentic local dishes these days, let's just say that this plate of bad button meat, although it has been made better, it is still worse than what I ate when I was young." ”

"I think of the bad button meat I ate when I was young, it was really a thick red sauce, the meat was crispy, the fat and thin were suitable, the color was red and bright, and it melted in the mouth. In addition, the sake lees that has absorbed the gravy is more delicious than the button meat, and it can be described as fragrant and refreshing, smooth but not greasy. And the sake lees in this plate of buckle meat obviously did not reach such a state. ”

Meng Zitao took over and said: "The key is that the heat is not in place, and each restaurant has its own characteristics, and it is impossible for every dish to be cooked to perfection." For example, the braised large intestine and steamed lion's head just now are already very good, and with these two dishes, this restaurant can make a name for itself, not to mention, the steamed fish highly recommended by the waiter has not yet arrived. ”

Wang Zhixuan said with a smile: "It is not easy to make a plate of steamed fish, the most difficult is to master the heat, the size of the fish is different, the fire is different, even if it can be done, once the stove is changed, the chef still needs to re-master the heat." ”

"For example, Yuan Mei, who wrote "Suiyuan Food List", dislikes cooking fish too much, he said, 'When the fish is about to eat, the color is as white as jade, and those who are condensed but not dispersed will have live meat; Obviously fresh fish, but make it not fresh, hateful'. Let's see how the steamed fish here is, and if it's good, I'll definitely recommend it to my friends. ”

Cheng Qiheng smiled: "Dad, don't do this, if we want to come here to eat and can't get in line, it will be bad." ”

said that Cao Cao Cao was here, and as soon as the words fell, a plate of hot steamed fish was served.

Before everyone moved the chopsticks, the waiter introduced: "The steamed fish we have here must start from the belly, and after two or three minutes, when you reach the bones, the thickest fish is just cooked." ”

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this, if this is the case, then it is a good steamed fish.

Wang Zhixuan moved his chopsticks before and sandwiched a piece of fish belly, only to see that the fish meat was not usually white, but slightly transparent, put the fish in his mouth, and chewed it lightly a few times, Wang Zhixuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly motioned for everyone to enjoy.

Everyone moved their chopsticks one after another, and when they ate the fish, they had the same expression as Wang Zhixuan, and they could describe this steamed fish in two words, tender and fresh!

Don't look at these two words as simple, but if you can do it to the extreme, it is already not simple, it can be described as a unique skill, and if you don't study it carefully, you will definitely not be able to do it at this level.

Sitting next to Meng Zitao and them were an old man in his sixties and a middle-aged man, both of whom spoke a southwestern dialect and were not locals.

They originally came here to have a few drinks and chat, but they didn't expect the food here to be good, although it was lighter than the southwest, but the two of them usually ate quite lightly, so they had a good appetite.

After eating for a while, they were attracted by the conversation at the next table.

"The guys next door are a little interesting. The middle-aged man smiled: "It seems that they are basically gluttons, and they are very interested in eating!"

The old man smiled and nodded: "Speaking of which, although there are many kinds of dishes in these years, I always feel that I don't have the same taste as before, and some good dishes have disappeared with time." ”

The middle-aged man said: "No way, the times are changing, and some who can't keep up with the modern rhythm can only be eliminated." In contrast, it is a pity that the ancients did not have the technology that has been handed down. ”

Speaking of this, the two heard Meng Zitao discussing the fire.

I heard Meng Zitao say: "Speaking of which, the same is true for firing porcelain, the heat is all based on experience, and the slightest negligence will cause quality problems such as porcelain 'pinching' or 'over-firing' due to poor time or fire control, and there will be 'kiln collapse' accidents in serious cases."

"Of course, if the fire is sufficient, the glaze will naturally be pleasing to the eye, especially after hundreds of years of cultivation, it is even more treasure-shining, and the dazzling thief light of the new imitation is naturally not the same. So a lot of people are making up their minds at this point. ”

"In the past, in the antique industry, the new imitation porcelain was afraid that it would be too bright, so it was often polished by rubbing it with sand potatoes or animal skins to reduce the brightness. This practice often leaves many scratches on the surface of the porcelain. In recent years, some people in Xiangjiang have specially varnished ceramics, supposedly smearing them with a chemical called silicone oil to increase the appearance of these objects. ”

Meng Zitao's words made the two people at the next table slightly stunned.

The old man said, "These people can't be in our circle, right?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It's very likely, otherwise I wouldn't know so much about this." ”

The old man saw the middle-aged man's expression and said, "Hour, do you want to get to know them?"

The middle-aged man said: "Yes, you also know what we are doing here in Ling City, if no one helps, it is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack!"

The old man looked gloomy and said, "Hey, it would be nice if my friend was still around, who would have thought that there would be a car accident all of a sudden yesterday?"

"That's a good thing. The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, and then said: "Let's not talk about this for a while, you said that you want to make friends with each other, although our affairs are important, but I also think that the temperament of these people is very right." ”

"That's okay, it's not bad to get married......"

The two were talking, and on the other side, Cheng Qiheng answered a phone call, saying that there was something at home and he was in a hurry to go back, and everyone had eaten almost, so he checked out and left.

This time it was Meng Zitao who went to pay, and when he finished settling the account and walked to the door of the hotel, he saw Wang Zhixuan talking with two people.

Meng Zitao had never seen these two people before, and the accent didn't look like a local, and after walking over and listening to Wang Zhixuan's introduction, he knew that these two were peers from the mountain city. The old man's name is Yun Dingsong, and the middle-aged man's name is Shi Yulin, and it is said that Yun Dingsong and Song Xiaoyang are friends.

This Song Xiaoyang is a relatively famous collector in Ling City, with a wide range of friends, and he is also very proud, but most of his collections are purchased in the auction market, and he is basically not seen in the antique street.

However, when Song Xiaoyang went out yesterday, he was unlucky and encountered an overloaded muck truck, which rolled over and pressed on his car, and I heard that it was miserable.

To get back to the point, Cheng Qiheng went home first because he was in a hurry, Wang Menghan and the clerk returned to Zhengyixuan, and the others came to Meng Zitao's Appreciation Pavilion to drink tea and chat.

Yun Dingsong was somewhat surprised that Meng Zitao was actually the owner of an antique shop, but when they heard that Meng Zitao was a closed disciple of Zheng Anzhi, everything was taken for granted, and they were all very glad about the decision just now.

Everyone drank tea for a while, and Wang Zhixuan casually asked Yun Dingsong about their intention to come to Ling City.

Yun Dingsong sighed, and then briefly explained the matter to everyone.

It turned out that Shi Yulin had a picture of Guo Xi's "Traveler in the Mountains and Streams", which was not originally his, but handed down by his grandfather.

Speaking of Guo Xi, he has a high status in the world of calligraphy and painting, he is a painter and painting theorist of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was born as a commoner, believed in Taoism in his early years, traveled outside the square, and was famous for his paintings. Xining was summoned to the Academy of Fine Arts in the first year, and later served as the chief of Hanlin to be edicted.

Guo Xi's landscape teacher Li Cheng, the mountain stone created a pen like a cirrus cloud, and later generations called it "cirrus clouds". The branches droop like crab claws, the gesture is strong, and the ink is bright and clean. In the early years, the style is more ingenious, and in the later years, it turns majestic, often making long pine trees on the high walls of the giant banners, the cliffs of the Quxi River, the peaks and peaks are beautiful, and the realm is majestic and agile and ethereal.

His painting and art theories have an extremely important position in the history of Chinese painting, and his landscape painting techniques have had a great influence on later generations.

The works of masters like Guo Xi must be priceless, not to mention his paintings, Song Dynasty paintings are very rare in the market, and most of them can be handed down to future generations into large museums. Once a Song Dynasty painting is unveiled on the market, it is often sold at a high price to a sky-high price.

In 1999, Christie's launched Guo Xi's Journey to the Autumn Mountains, which was originally in the collection of the famous connoisseur Pang Laichen, but whether it was indeed made by Guo Xi is still controversial in academic circles. However, the paintings are indeed from the Song Dynasty, and they are very exquisite. As a result, the work was auctioned by many buyers and sold for $1.4325 million, ranking among the high-priced works of ancient paintings in China at that time.

And if the "Traveler in Xishan" in Shi Yulin's hand is indeed Guo Xi's authentic work, the value in this year is not trivial.

To get back to the point, at the Spring Festival this year, Shi Yulin's grandfather took out the painting and handed it to Shi Yulin, saying that he was going to hand over the painting to Shi Yulin, hoping that he could take good care of Yunyun.

Shi Yulin saw that it was actually a masterpiece by a famous artist such as Guo Xi, and from the perspective of paper, calligraphy and painting style, seal and collection seal, it was a genuine work, and he said at the time that he couldn't accept it, because it was too valuable.

However, in the end, Shi Yulin still couldn't resist his grandfather and accepted it.

After getting this famous painting, Shi Yulin was also a little embarrassed for a while, but he also knew that this kind of treasure could not be easily shown, otherwise it would cause trouble, so he only showed it to his friend Yun Dingsong to share his joy.

Yun Dingsong also thinks that it is genuine, and he has been studying this aspect in the first place, so he can't put it down at a glance.

Originally, Yun Dingsong originally wanted to sell his property and buy the painting, but Shi Yulin did not agree, and in the end he had no choice, so he retreated and asked Shi Yulin to leave the painting in his three days. The two have been friends for many years, and Shi Yulin did not refuse.

Shi Yulin thought that nothing would happen, but he didn't expect that on the third day, he received a call from Yun Dingsong, saying that the painting was lost. He was stunned when he heard it, and he suspected that Yun Dingsong was the ghost, and later the police found the suspect, and he believed that Yun Dingsong was also a victim. …… (To be continued.) )
