Episode 4 Seeking the 'Stone Path'

Kowloon didn't expect his collection to be placed first, so he couldn't help but be a little caught off guard, and he didn't know where to put his nervous hands.

The host just said that Hou Lao actually has his own standard for appreciating stones, and the organizer also adopts it, so such a person will be a liar? BJ officials will not screen it? Obviously, it is impossible!

Jiulong's heart knot is opened, it doesn't matter if he can get a high score on his stone, he must find a way to get the secret of expert Hou's stone appreciation, so that it is worth the trip.

Hostess: "This picture stone, is Jiulongbi, at first glance it looks like a monk, the real image, the two children on the lower left are also very cute, as if they are listening to a class, the score is out, the average score is 78 points, this score is good, who is the treasure hunter, please stand up and let the audience know it." ”

Jiulong took a deep breath, stood up, folded his hands, and turned around politely in all directions: "My name is Huang Jiulong, hello to all friends." ”

"Wow, that's a handsome guy, that's amazing. ”

There were screams like silver bells from the crowd, and the voice of a girl was heard.

The hostess: "Handsome guy, can you tell us what you think?" and then handed the microphone over.

"I don't have any ideas, just to see the excitement!"

Originally, Kowloon wanted to say the word "study", but as soon as he was nervous, it became the word "watch the excitement".

The audience was in an uproar, and a girl shouted: "Handsome guy, you have treasures but come to see the excitement, let's come to see what, see if you are handsome!"

"Hahahaha......"

The hall was filled with joy.

Kowloon knew that he had made a mistake, and responded humorously: "I really came to see the fun, which one of the collections on the stage is not better than me, I just joined in the fun." ”

There was applause at the scene, and this time, everyone was impressed by Kowloon's wit.

The hostess took the microphone: "Handsome guy, you are young, you are so good at playing with stones, you are really promising, please cheer for him." ”

The girl who shouted just now waved and cheered again: "Little handsome guy, do you have QQ? Can you teach me to play with stones?"

"My online name is 'Xiaoyaozi', and we communicate with each other. ”

When Jiulong heard this, his heart was comfortable, and he couldn't help but report his screen name.

"Xiaoyaozi, I like you. ”

The girl gave Jiulong a flying kiss from afar, and Jiulong's face was suddenly flushed, and he hugged his fists and saluted.

"Come on, come on!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and the scene burst into applause again, becoming more and more enthusiastic.

"Xiaoyaozi, it's enough to be free, handsome guy, I want to ask again, are you looking forward to winning the championship this time?"

The hostess is worthy of being a veteran and asked a tricky question.

"Who wouldn't want to, but I'm looking forward to getting the 'stone road' on this trip!"

Kowloon finally regained his composure and replied unhurriedly.

What the hell is "Shidao"? It is even more important than the champion? The audience looks at me, I look at you, and their faces are full of confusion.

"Handsome guy, your answer is really interesting, which expert can you ask to help you answer?"

The hostess faced the "Five Elders of the Capital" with expectant eyes on her face.

The eyes of the four elders of the capital invariably looked at Hou Lao.

Hou Lao was not polite and stood up: "This young man asked well, 'Stone Road', in layman's terms, is the truth of playing with stones, and further, 'Stone Road' is stone culture, which is a high-level expression of strange stone appreciation."

"Don't underestimate an ordinary stone, as long as it meets my 'three-character formula' stone appreciation standard, it is a treasure. In fact, there are ten major benefits of playing with stones, which I won't go into here. After Hou Lao finished speaking, he was about to sit down.

"Would you like to ask Elder Hou to continue?"

Someone in the audience suddenly shouted.

"Keep talking!"

The voices of the audience came and went.

"Well, since you like to hear it, I'll just talk about it briefly. ”

Hou Lao took a sip of Wuyi black tea and cleared his throat: "These ten benefits are:

"Pleasant and nurturing. Tasting the stone will make you understand many truths, bring you a happy mood, and participate in the stone appreciation activities for a long time, your sentiments will be cultivated, and the soul will be purified.

"Grow knowledge. When you are faced with a strange stone that you love deeply, you will be wondering, where did it come from, where was it born, what is special about the quality, shape, color, and pattern? Where is the best place to see it? In the process of figuring out these questions, you will increase your knowledge of geography, geology, humanities, and society.

"Improve cultural and artistic accomplishment. Name, match, write, poem, and pair the strange stones, and often carry out these series of cultural activities and artistic thinking, your cultural quality and artistic accomplishment will be sublimated.

"Improve connoisseurship. As long as you have more contact, use your brain diligently, and consult more experts, your appreciation of strange stones will gradually improve, and maybe one day you will become a connoisseur of strange stones.

"Make friends. People who play with stones come from all over the world, from all walks of life, most of them are successful people, and you can meet many mentors and friends in this circle, and bring a lot of help to your career and family.

"Beautify the home. The home is indecent, a stone sits in the hall, the hall is full of brilliance, a family sits, or invites confidants to three or five, and tastes tea and discusses stones, which is an elegant move and a quick thing.

"Landscaping. The garden is not beautiful without stones, the ancient and modern gardens are beautiful and quiet because of the elegant stones, the crown of Chinese gardens in Suzhou, the "Tomb Garden", because of the "Ziyun Peak" this super Taihu Lake stone and famous.

"Easy to maintain. Strange stone does not have high requirements for the environment, whether it is cold and hot, or drought and humidity, whether you live in a simple place, or travel all over the world, it is deep in the boudoir, free from the king's concern.

"Preservation and appreciation. Strange stone resources are scarce, buy rare and rare, today's people are rich and strong, there are more and more people who play stones, the demand for strange stones is getting bigger and bigger, so the strange stones are more and more valuable and appreciated, and the market value of today's strange stones has been several times that of previous years.

"Good for your health. Looking for stones to exercise the legs, moving stones to work muscles and bones, on the stone to use the brain, appreciate the stone in a happy mood, play the stone process so that you can get the whole body to get exercise, the stone is longevity.

"Our five elders are all over eighty years old, all thanks to the stone, I have said so much, I don't know if everyone is satisfied?"

Hou Lao's eyes swept to the scene and slowly sat down.

"Hou Lao is wonderful, I wish Hou Lao a long and healthy life!"

The audience burst into thunderous applause.

Jiulong clapped and pondered, Hou Lao did make a lot of sense, and he had to digest it well when he went back.

The hostess signaled quietly: "What Hou Lao said just now was too attractive, as soon as he said it, I had the urge to play with stones, and I really deserved to be a master of appreciating stones." ”

The male host took over the topic: "The following is the 2# collection: Olympic Strange Stones, please come on stage." ”

Hostess: "This strange stone is HN gold-veined stone, which is similar to the emblem of the BJ Olympics "China Seal", with an average score of 72 points, please stand up with the treasure." ”

The treasure bearer is an old man, he said that this strange stone is very compatible with the Olympic Games, please admire.

The audience burst into applause again.

Kowloon also applauded, and when he saw this score, he smiled, and it seemed that he would not be at least the first to last.

Male host: "3# Collection: Chasing the waves, please come to the stage." ”

Hostess: "This strange stone is the curly stone of the Hongshui River, the eyes and mouth are the same as the real fish, it is amazing, the average score: 92 points, please stand up with the treasure." ”

The audience continued to exclaim, this score is too high.

When Jiulong heard this, he also opened his mouth wide, it seems that there is a mountain outside the mountain, and this stone is indeed classic enough.

Standing up a middle-aged man, with a square face, a big back, and resoluteness in his eyes, he took the microphone: "Thank you for your encouragement, our Liuzhou is the stone capital, didn't the hostess just now want to play with stones? ”

"Is it true? There are some strange stones in Liuzhou, tell me. The hostess asked:

"There are Dahua colored jade in the Hongshui River alone, guest curly stone, Heshan painted pottery stone, Dahua Moore stone, I can't say enough, come over when the time comes, I will be a guide for everyone. ”

The middle-aged man said proudly.

"Uncle, what's your name, how can we find you?"

The voice of a little girl.

"My name is Wei Chaoyang, and all your friends in Liuzhou know me, so you can find it when you come to Liuzhou. ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he arched his hand and sat down.

Hostess: "Mr. Wei is so enthusiastic, shall we go to his house for a big meal next time?"

"Okay, I'm going to eat the fish from the Red Water River. ”

A big fat man shouted from the audience.

The audience laughed and looked at him, and the fat man lowered his head in embarrassment.

"No problem, just look for me. Mr. Wei turned around and said.

Liuzhou is the stone capital, which means that the market over there must be very large, no wonder Mr. Wei's stone will be so good, if you are free in the future, you must go to Liuzhou for a walk, Jiulong thought to himself.

……

Male host: "10# Collection: Years, please come to the stage." ”

Hostess: "This strange stone looks like an old woman's head, the wrinkles on the nose, mouth, forehead, and hair are like real people, especially the wrinkles on the old woman's face are faintly visible, with an average score of 92 points."

……

Male host: "12# Collection: Chinese Eagle, please come to the stage." ”

Hostess: "Huanglong jade seed material, such as the size of a real eagle, this is a naturally formed strange stone, curved eagle's beak, sharp eyes, perfect lines and gods, with golden jade, like a living thing, people have to sigh the magic of nature's creation, with an average score of 95 points."

……

Male host: "15# Collection: Suoyun, please come to the stage." ”

Hostess: "'Suoyun' is a Lingbi stone, with a slightly black appearance and a slightly dark red, like a ring cloud lock, with a rosewood seat below.

"The back of the stone is engraved with the word 'lock cloud', the paragraph is signed 'Wanli Ding Youchun March Tibetan Stone Mi Zhong Zhao', the yang seal is the number of Wan Zhong 'Friend Stone', and the Yin is engraved 'Wanli Jinshi'.

It is one of the few existing heirloom orderly, there is a record of Ming Dynasty celebrity inscriptions for the stone, the Qing Dynasty Hu Pu'an "Strange Stone Record" recorded, for the descendants of Mi Fu, the Ming Dynasty literati Mi Wan Zhong love Tibet, score 98 points, please hold the treasure to stand up. ”

"No, 98 points, it's scary. ”

"Isn't it just a big hole, and the score is so high?

There was a lot of discussion and applause.

Jiulong saw it, and was also a little confused, this strange stone is just like a ring, not like a specific item, is it precious, just because it is an antique?
