Chapter 562: Luminous Cup

Although Hongquan's villa is small, it looks very compact, and from the outside, it looks like the courtyard of a lord in the European Middle Ages, but it is a little smaller. There was a security guard in a padded jacket who was watching TV at the gate, and when he saw Nie Zhen's car coming, he poked his head out and took a look, and opened the door directly.

The door is electric, no one has to come out, this security guard obviously knows Nie Zhen, it is estimated that Nie Zhen often comes here to play, Zhang Tianyuan is not very interested in this, he just doesn't want to go out when he shrinks in the car, the wind is blowing outside, it is too cold, and it feels completely different from when he was in Shangpu.

It was probably the gate guard who notified Hong Quan inside by phone, so when the car drove into the villa and stopped in the parking space, Hong Quan came out in a coat.

"Brother Nie, Brother Zhang, you came just in time, today I asked the old mother at home to buy some materials, let's eat hot pot, Brother Zhang has been in Nandu before, he should have a soft spot for hot pot, right?"

Hong Quan is still as enthusiastic about Zhang Tianyuan as last time, it seems that this person is not the kind of person who watches people cook, no matter what Zhang Tianyuan's identity is, he seems to have the same enthusiasm, probably this is the reason why he can succeed in business, there is no culture, it is this enthusiasm that has woven a broad network for him.

Of course, it would be unrealistic to say that Zhang Tianyuan's identity had no impact on him at all, if he was just an ordinary person, he would not invite Zhang Tianyuan to his home as a guest at all. That is, because Zhang Tianyuan is the godson of Old Man Nie and a big businessman, this status is not much different from his Hongquan, so there will be this treat.

Generally speaking. If you are not a particularly important guest, even if you are a treat. Hong Quan will also go outside, and will never let the other party come to his house.

Inside. The understanding of this villa is also deeper, Hongquan seems to make his villa more classical, but also deliberately carried out some old when building, so those walls or something, it looks like some years of vicissitudes, as if it is a hundred years old house, in fact, his villa has only been built for a few years, and it is still new.

In the living room, there is also that kind of European-style fireplace. It is not coal that burns, but firewood, coal-fired fireplaces in Europe and the United States are the type that has been completely abandoned, the collection and storage of combustibles are very difficult, non-closed combustion, the formation of exhaust gas particles when burning, insufficient combustion. It causes pollution to the environment and harm to the human body.

Modern wood-burning fireplaces are a big improvement over traditional fireplaces. It adopts closed combustion chamber and secondary combustion technology, and can use a new type of environmentally friendly special charcoal, which has low cost, high calorific value, sufficient combustion and clean emissions, which is the most natural and romantic heating method.

And the temperature is also relatively high. So the whole living room is warm, there is no need for heating and air conditioning at all, and I wear single clothes in the house. It was all very warm.

As you can see, there are many knick-knacks in the hall. They are all placed at home before Christmas, and now many people like to celebrate Western festivals. Christmas and Valentine's Day, in particular, are very popular among young people. It's just that Zhang Tianyuan is not interested in Christmas, even if it is Valentine's Day, it is just going out with his girlfriend to have fun and eating, that day is not a holiday, but a robbery day, at that time he had no money, unlike now, at that time, whether it was Christmas or Valentine's Day, it was a difficulty.

"Mother Wang, let's get ready to serve, my two guests are here." Hong Quan shouted in the direction of the kitchen, then turned back to Nie Zhen and Zhang Tianyuan and said, "Shabu mutton, you can eat it, right?" In this weather, eating warm, and drinking some liquor, the taste is simply refreshing.

The hot pot table is specially used to eat hot pot, which Hongquan specially bought, and it can be put into anthracite, which is safer than gas and natural gas, and it is also warm. The three of them sat down around, and Zhang Tianyuan noticed that there were several unopened bottles of wine on the table, including Moutai, Wuliangye, and hardcover monkey wine.

"Nowadays, many rich people like to drink red wine, and I like it too, but it is better to eat hot pot or drink liquor, especially in winter, drink some liquor to warm the stomach, and also help digestion, as long as it is better than drinking too much. Of course, if you don't like liquor, I have all kinds of red wine and beer on the wine cabinet, you can take it as you like, come to me, you're welcome, just like your own home. "Hongquan drinks red wine, in fact, it is completely vassal and elegant, to say that it is ugly, that is, to follow the trend, he saw that rich people drink that, so he also drank that, these years, but he also drank a little feeling, but after all, he still can't match his love for liquor.

Zhang Tianyuan glanced at the wine cabinet, and saw Le Cordon Bleu 1844 at a glance, which he wanted to drink but didn't drink before, now that Hongquan has it here, it is natural to try it, and it is not bad to eat hot pot and drink beer, when he was in Nandu before, he ate like this, but the beer he drank at that time was relatively cheap, that is, at most ten yuan a bottle, and he had never drunk a bottle of beer for hundreds of yuan.

Because he has an earthy atmosphere, no matter what kind of wine he drinks, he is not afraid, but liquor always smells, and beer is different, and there is really no problem with drinking one or two bottles, and there will be no mouth full of alcohol.

"I drink that blue ribbon 1844, don't feel sorry." Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"Hey, how do you say this, that wine is only 400 yuan a bottle, if you drink it, I think you can still drink 10,000? Even if it's 10,000, that's nothing, to be honest, 10,000 is a fart for the three of us. Brother Nie, you can drink it too, this dish is here, let's talk while eating. Wang Ma, you can rest, you don't have to worry about it here, we can do it ourselves. ”

Hong Quan is not a stingy person, a stingy person can't make friends, after all, although many people don't want to admit wine and meat friends, but without wine and meat, what do you use to express your feelings?

He walked over and directly took three bottles of Cordon Bleu 1844, put them in front of Zhang Tianyuan and said: "Drink it casually, this thing is not better than liquor, it is not easy to get drunk, you can't drink less, come, use this cup, this is the best luminous cup from Ganzhou, the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Han's "Liangzhou Song" said: 'Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink pipa, urge immediately.'" Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times. ’。 That's what I'm talking about this kind of luminous cup, but now there are more styles of luminous cups. Yours is for beer, isn't it? ”

Zhang Tianyuan felt that the few cups on the table were a little special at the beginning. Under the illumination of the light, it actually flashes with a strange fluorescence, and if you look at it with the word appreciation formula, you will find that these luminous cups are made of jade, although the jade is not top-notch, but it is not bad, such an object, it is really very rare.

"Tian Yuan, this kid was reluctant to take out this set of drinking utensils before. Today is for you, I took it out, we don't understand this antique, but the wine glass polished by jade, your brother and I still know something, this is not cheap. Nie Zhen said with a smile.

The production history of Jiuquan luminous cups is very long. Nowadays, the luminous cup refined by the old mountain jade, new mountain jade and river jade of Qilian Mountain has gorgeous colors and beautiful shapes. Exquisitely clear, it has long been exported overseas. For thousands of years, Jiuquan has written a majestic picture with its unique historical and cultural features.

According to Dongfang Shuo's "Fenglin Zhou" in "The Records of the Ten Continents in the Sea", it is recorded: "During the reign of King Mu of Zhou, Xihu offered Kunwu to cut jade knives and night light often filled cups. The knife is a foot long. Cup by three liters. The knife cuts the jade like cutting the mud, and the cup is the essence of white jade, and the light shines at night. That illustrates. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, Jiuquan produced luminous cups. And it's a rare treasure.

By the time of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a history of luminous cups paying tribute to our regime. It's just that at that time, it was a luminous cup made of Hetian jade. Shipped to Chang'an, Luozhou and other places. Later, because the jade cup was vulnerable during transportation, it was changed to transport Hetian jade to Jiuquan, where it was processed into a luminous cup and then transported. Later, Hetian jade could not be supplied, so Jiuquan jade mined in Qilian Mountain was used to make zuò luminous cups.

The Western Han Dynasty Dongfang Shuo's "Ten Continents in the Sea" contains: King Ji Man of the Western Zhou Dynasty went to the Yaochi grand meeting at the invitation of the Queen Mother of the West. Ji Manru got the treasure, can't put it down, since then the luminous cup has been famous through the ages. The luminous glass has a unique shape, a unique style, a smooth texture, a touch, colorful color, like jade, poured into the wine, the wine color is crystal clear. Especially in the reflection of the bright moon, the clear jade liquid shines through the walls of the cup as thin as eggshells.

Qilian Mountain is snow-capped all year round, high and mysterious, awe-inspiring and inviolable. The Qilian jade that makes the zuò luminous cup comes from the Qilian Mountain at an altitude of more than three or four thousand meters, and the jade is dark green, made into a cup, verdant and dripping, even in the hot summer, it makes people feel cold. Due to traffic restrictions, it is still very difficult to mine and transport Qilian jade, and the supply of jade to the market is very limited. To make zuò jade cups, the utilization rate of jade materials is usually only about 60%, so the output of luminous cups is very limited, not to mention precious.

"Jiuquan luminous cup" is unique in shape, exquisite in style, divided into two categories: traditional luminous cup and antique luminous cup, its color is black black lacquer, white as mutton fat, dark green as emerald, natural ornamentation, the cup is thin as paper, bright as a mirror, smooth inside and outside, the jade color is transparent and bright, with its wine, sweet and sweet, unchanged for a long time, especially under the moonlight to drink, the cup is bright like water, seems to have a strange brilliance, so since ancient times, there is a good legend of 'wine pan luminous cup'. Traditional luminous cups include large, medium and small goblets, flat cups, beer mugs, miniature cups, and three-bubble jade bowls; There are more than 80 varieties of antique cups, such as Jue Cup, Phoenix Cup, Bull's Head, Goose, Shuangfeng Cup, Shuanglong Begonia Cup and Wine Sets, Tea Sets, Jade Carving Craft Pendants, etc., which are treasures for travel commemoration and gifts to relatives and friends.

Drinking with this precious wine glass, Zhang Tianyuan really has to be the first time that the new daughter-in-law has been on the sedan chair, although he has money, he can drink with a wine glass made of jade, he really didn't think about it, but this time he came to Hongquan here to give him a wake-up call, jade made of wine glass, it is also a good choice, now many people like to drink with glasses, but considering that people now know more and more about enjoyment, if it is a jade wine glass, especially a high-quality jade polished wine glass, it is definitely a market, Many people may even collect this thing as a luxury, after all, jade itself is valuable.

"Brother Hong, you really know how to enjoy it, I have never used this kind of wine glass, when will you find a way to get us a few."

"Little things, these are small things! And Brother Zhang, you are not an ordinary person, I heard that you have a special jade shop, as long as you find a good craftsman for your kind of good jade, polish a good wine glass, it is worth more than me. What can we do when we have money, that is, we have to learn to enjoy it, we can't enjoy it, and when we die, we can't take things away. ”

Hong Quan is obviously a free and easy person, what he said is reasonable, no matter how good things are, they are not brought in life, and they are not brought in death. (To be continued......)
