This town is the porcelain distribution center of the entire Beishan, there are many porcelain vases, porcelain bowls, these things are used in the life of the common people, there are also some exquisite porcelain, originally to be sold to all parts of Southeast Asia, due to the turmoil a while ago, now are hoarded in the hands of the shopkeepers.

When Luohe arrived in the town to inquire, no one knew about the Cheng family, but when everyone heard that Luohe was going to look for them, they all shook their heads and said: "You can't go to them, the people of their family have strange temperaments! Especially Cheng Jiuzhen, the head of the Cheng family, has an even more strange temperament, and none of the people who come to the door can see him." ”

Luohe inquired and found the North Mountain, this mountain is very large, there are not many trees on it, halfway up the mountain is the house of the Cheng family, he went up the mountain road, walked a few steps and was stopped by two big men with guns on their backs, a big man asked politely: "This lord, I don't know who you are looking for?"

Seeing that this big man had a rough appearance but spoke politely, Luo He felt a little strange in his heart, and said, "I want to find the head of the Cheng family." ”

When the big man heard this, he laughed and said, "Are you looking for Cheng Jiuzhen and Nine Masters?"

Luo He nodded yes, and the big man smiled: "He has passed away." ”

Luo He was stunned for a moment, thinking that this could not be true, if Cheng Jiuzhen was really dead, how could the people in the town under the mountain not know. He knew that this must be an excuse that Cheng Jiuzhen deliberately made for not wanting to see outsiders.

Luo He said with a smile: "Then I want you to report it, I want to see the person who is in charge of the Cheng family now." ”

The big man smiled again: "The Cheng family has no principals, they are all dead." ”

Luo He saw that this big man had talked to this point, and there was nothing to say, he had an idea, thought about it, and said: "Please give Cheng Jiuye a gift, and say that a person named Luohe will bring a generous gift to his old man tomorrow." ”

The big man smiled and agreed.

Luohe exchanged the super system for the hint in the mission, that is, the bowl in "The Return of the King of Resistance Against Japan"! So Luohe came to Beishan again, and sure enough, he met the big man from yesterday again, and the big man was happy when he saw Luohe, and said: "Yo, isn't this Luohe Luoye? You are really punctual." ”

Luo He said with a smile: "Visiting the Ninth Master is a big event for me Luo, how can it not be punctual?" said and handed over the gift box, saying, "This gift is bothering you to hand it over to the Ninth Master." ”

Dahan took the gift box with one hand and said with a smile: "The rules of the Ninth Master, the gifts of outsiders, will be seen first and then sent, if it is not in line with the appetite of the Ninth Master, it will be smashed in front of you, and your gift will be smashed for a while, Luo Ye is not strange." ”

Saying that, the big man put the gift box on the stone platform, opened the gift box, and took out the cotton stuffed in the box, revealing the true body of the gift.

In the gift box, lying a crystal clear porcelain bowl, the wall of the porcelain bowl is as thin as cicada wings, the pattern on the wall of the bowl is a picture of butterflies wearing flowers, the butterflies and flowers are lifelike, the most rare thing is: in the pattern is actually inlaid with more than a dozen translucent dots, the finishing touch generally revitalizes the whole pattern! The sunlight shines through the dots, setting off the porcelain bowl like a dream.

The big man's hand holding the gift box was a little trembling, and he hurriedly put the cotton back into the box respectfully, held the box with both hands, handed it to Luo He, turned sideways, bowed down and made a gesture of please, and said: "Luo Ye, please first, the little one will show you the way in the back." ”

Climb the stone steps, Luohe came to the Zhuangzi, not so much Zhuangzi, it is better to say that this is a village, as soon as you enter the village, it is like returning to the Ming Dynasty, and the people inside are still the costumes of the Ming Dynasty. Luohe thought that Cheng Jiuzhen's house would be so magnificent and luxurious, but he didn't expect the big man to take him to a small courtyard behind the village, this small courtyard has a bamboo gate and bamboo fence, chickens and ducks in the yard, and a thatched house in the middle of the courtyard.

Dahan stopped at the door and called at the door, "Ninth Grandpa, there is a distinguished guest!"

As soon as the door opened, a spirited old man walked out, opened the courtyard door, and said with a smile: "The flower path has never been swept by guests, and the pengmen is now open for you." When the distinguished guests came to the door, they never greeted them from afar, and they hoped to forgive their sins. ”

Luo He thought that this Cheng Jiuye would be so arrogant, but he didn't expect it to be such a polite and easy-going old man, and the big man smiled: "Our Jiu Ye was annoyed by the RB people, so we thought of such a method, and we don't see ordinary guests." ”

Luo He didn't care, presented the gift box, Cheng Jiuye invited Luo He into the courtyard, sat at the bamboo table in the courtyard, opened the gift box, saw the porcelain bowl, couldn't help but cry, he held the bowl, knelt down to the north, raised the porcelain bowl high above his head, touched his forehead to the ground, and cried and said: "Ancestors and ancestors! God bless! I Cheng Jiuzhen finally saw the exquisite bowl in my lifetime!"

Luo He saw Cheng Jiuye kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly like a child, and hurriedly persuaded: "Jiuye, get up quickly." ”

Cheng Jiuye cried for a while, then stood up again, sat back on the chair, looked at the bowl, and said: "Our ancestors followed the country to Taiwan back then, and later Taiwan was also occupied by the Tartars, so we fled here, and we wanted to recast this exquisite bowl for generations!

Luo He understands how much for a person who has studied Linglong bowls all his life, seeing the real thing will help him in his production. can also understand why Cheng Jiuye is so excited.

Luohe knows that this exquisite bowl first appeared in the Ming Dynasty during the Chenghua period, the Qing Dynasty gradually lost, in the 21st century, China's ceramic masters re-elaborated the craft of this exquisite bowl, the manufacture of this bowl is extremely difficult: first of all, the thin as cicada wings, light as silk yarn of the bowl wall, the rough embryo of the bowl wall is only two millimeters thick, carved out of shape on such a thin embryo, a slight wheezing unevenness, or a slight hand shake, the embryo is broken!

Luohe knew that he had completely moved Cheng Jiuye, so he said: "Jiuye, my name is Luohe, and I came here this time, but I have something important to ask for." ”

Cheng Jiuye said with a smile: "Honorable guest, please speak, if you say a word, I will never give up!"

Luo He smiled: "No, no, I want to ask, is there saltpeter on your mountain?"

Cheng Jiuye said: "It's not a secret, our Cheng family can burn out the glaze of peacock green, all with the power of this saltpeter!

Luo He smiled: "Exactly!"

Cheng Jiuye smiled heartily and said: "The saltpeter in our Zhuangzi is almost exhausted, we will go to mining saltpeter tomorrow, if you don't dislike it, you might as well go with us tomorrow." Luo He was about to excuse himself, but Cheng Jiuye had already arranged for someone to let him stay, so Luo He had no choice but to agree. That night, at about three o'clock in the morning, Cheng Jiuye personally came to call Luohe, Luohe followed everyone up along the mountain road, and turned a few more turns, and suddenly, the eyes suddenly opened up, only to see a large open space in front of him, and the open space seemed to be as white as a thick layer of snow.

Luo He took a closer look, and saw that the "snow" was full of small pieces like rock sugar, and these small pieces were stuck together, Cheng Jiuye smiled: "This is our saltpeter." ”

The so-called saltpeter, whose chemical composition is potassium nitrate, will automatically precipitate on saline-alkali ground.

So everyone began to sweep the saltpeter on the ground into the basket, and Cheng Jiuye smiled: "These are just nitrate, we have to process it again when we go back to get saltpeter." ”

A sense of disappointment suddenly shrouded Luohe's heart, originally thought that there would be a lot of saltpeter here, but I didn't expect that the scale of saltpeter here is far from enough for industrial production.

At this moment, a woman came crying, and found a man crying, "The head of the house, but the child is gone." ”

The man said, "Why is it gone?"

The woman said, "The boy has lost the sheep, and I have scolded him twice, and he must have been so angry that he went out to look for the sheep."

The man asked, "Where did he leave his sheep?"

The woman's face changed, and she pointed to the mountain beyond the clearing and said, "He must have gone to the ghost land!"
