Chapter 839: The Art of Water and Fire

PS: Ask for tickets, ask for monthly pass support.

"In that case, what are you going to do with it?"

At this time, Zhang Lao was puzzled: "It's confirmed that it's not fluorescent resin, wouldn't it be a loss for you to buy it." ”

"A little money, if you lose, you lose, I can afford to lose." Wang Guanhun didn't care and said: "Compared with the loss of money, I care more about what this thing is." ”

"Yes, you have grown a lot, it seems that you have come through experience."

Suddenly, Zhang Lao approved: "More than 90% of the people who play collecting now want to make a fortune. This is the primary stage, and it belongs to human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it. ”

"Hmm."

Wang Guan nodded again and again, thinking deeply. Needless to say, when he first entered the circle of collecting, his goal was very clear, that is, to use his abilities to make money.

"However, Cang Liao knows etiquette and etiquette, and after the big waves and sands, some collectors stand out, or after a small accumulation, they naturally have a higher pursuit." Zhang Lao smiled: "I don't care much about money anymore, but I enjoy the fun of collecting, and I start to really like these things." This is the intermediate stage, and with such an awareness, it means that you have reached the standard. ”

"There is another real collector in the industry, which is worth celebrating."

While speaking, Zhang Lao raised the teacup and said with a smile: "Wang Guan, you have to keep it up." ”

"I won't let you down."

There is no need to be modest in this kind of thing, Wang Guan also returned with a smile.

"By the way, Elder Zhang, what is the advanced stage?"

At the same time, Fang Mingsheng inquired curiously: "The advanced stage should be a big collector." ”

"You're right." Zhang Lao nodded and said: "When I reach the advanced stage, I don't just like antiques, but I start to study antiques." It has become a discipline to study the origins and development of antiques, summarize and classify them, and become a science. ”

Wang Guan very much agrees, the real big collector, not how rich his collection is. And how many treasures there are, but it depends on his attitude towards the collection. Do you want to use the collection as an ornament, or do you study it seriously?

"Let's get down to business."

At the right time, Zhang Lao smiled: "You said that this glue can't be grinded, right?" ”

"Yes."

Wang Guan affirmed: "It's like a cowhide band full of toughness, and it can't melt like chewed gum." ”

"Got it."

Zhang Lao thought for a moment, and then smiled: "Regardless of whether this is fluorescent resin or not, first of all, I have to tell you that the method of grinding with ink ingots is wrong in itself. ”

"Huh?" Wang Guan was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"It means that if you use the wrong method to verify it, you will definitely get the wrong answer."

Zhang Lao shook his head and said, "The professor you said." I guess it's in some book, and when I saw the information of the scales and half claws, I took it for granted that fluorescent resin could melt directly into the ink, which was simply a ridiculous thing. ”

"Isn't it?"

Wang Guan has some surprises, if not for course, it is the best.

"It's not that simple." Zhang Lao said with a smile: "The ancients paid the most attention to blending, and the tea of the Tang Dynasty and the Hexiang of the Song Dynasty are good proof." Something that can make pen and ink shine. How is it possible to simply grind things? ”

As we all know, the tea drinking method in the Tang and Song dynasties is obviously different from that of modern times. The modern way of drinking tea is a method that has been handed down in the Ming and Qing dynasties. One brew and one brew is simple, and it is the taste of the tea itself that is drunk.

But in the Tang and Song dynasties, it was a bit cumbersome. Mix the tea leaves with green onions, ginger, dates, orange peel, dogwood, mint, and other things and boil them. Sometimes even salt is sprinkled, so you can imagine how complicated the taste is. It doesn't have to be delicious. But the taste must be incredible for those who are used to drinking modern tea.

Of course, it is also conceivable that tea was used as a medicine to cure diseases at the beginning, and then it was used as a wild vegetable to chew, and finally developed into a drinking product. Step by step, each step is a big breakthrough, then you can also understand the importance of the tea brewing method.

After a long period of development, the ancients knew that they mixed various plants to form a unique fragrance, and then it has been passed down to this day.

And just like Zhang Lao said, whether it is boiling tea or combining incense, it is a process of blending anyway, and it is definitely not a matter of mixing several irrelevant things together.

However, how to reconcile is the key.

At the right time, Wang Guan hurriedly asked, "Old Zhang, do you know the method of deployment?" ”

"Of course." Zhang Lao said confidently: "Go and get a spoon...... If you want iron, I'll do a little experiment. If this is really fluorescent resin, it must be obvious at a glance. ”

"Okay."

When Wang Guan heard this, he immediately ran to the kitchen and took a stainless steel spoon, and after presenting it to Zhang Lao, he hurriedly asked, "Do you need anything?" ”

"Do you have a lighter?" Zhang Lao asked casually, and after taking the spoon, he wrapped the handle of the spoon with a strip of cloth. Then cut a little grease in the box and put it in a spoon, add a few drops of water, and you're ready.

“…… I'll look for it. ”

Wang Guan scratched his head, he doesn't smoke, and he definitely won't carry a lighter with him.

However, Fang Mingsheng's speed was faster, and with a flick of his finger, there was naturally an entourage next to him who presented a high-end and high-grade exquisite lighter. The shiny metal shell, inlaid with a few diamonds, is no longer a simple lighter, but a luxury to show off wealth.

In this regard, Zhang Lao didn't care so much, after taking the lighter, he pressed it, ticked, and a blue and yellow flame rose out.

"Wang Guan, teach you a trick." At the same time, Zhang Lao smiled and said: "To deal with gelatinous substances, pure brute force does not work, then water and fire need to be reconciled." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Lao moved the blue flame under the spoon. Under the high temperature burning, a few drops of water in the spoon quickly boiled, and the grease that did not melt no matter how it was crushed immediately melted into juice at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Smack!"

In an instant, Wang Guan patted his head and sighed: "Stupid, I can't think of such a simple move." ”

"Is it easy?" Zhang Lao smiled: "It's really simple, but it also confirms a sentence, it's not easy for those who are difficult, and it is not difficult for those who are easy." Don't underestimate this program, if I don't break this layer of window paper, I guess you won't be able to figure it out if you scratch your head. ”

"That's right."

Wang Guan thinks so, the so-called stunt is often like this. If people don't say it, you will never understand.

It's like an engineer who draws a line on a faulty machine, and the chalk that draws the line costs only one dollar, but it costs nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars to know where to draw the line. Don't think it's expensive, people just have this technology and make money by their skills.

When Wang Guan sighed, the glue in the spoon completely melted.

At this time, Zhang Lao also turned off the lighter, then carefully looked at the liquid liquid in the spoon, and then put it under his nose and sniffed the breath in it, his face showed a thoughtful look.

"Elder Zhang, how is it?" Wang Guan also looked closer, and saw that the liquid liquid was transparent, with some white and blue colors, as if it was a substance like egg white.

"There is no smell, and the possibility of chemical gum can be ruled out." Zhang Lao commented. Wang Guan also nodded in agreement, after all, no matter how good the chemical gum is, it can't hide the smell of gelatin, but there is a difference between the shade and the shade.

“…… Wait a minute! ”

At this moment, Zhang Lao's eyes flashed, or a reflection appeared in his eyes. Anyway, it was just such a flash, but it made him stand up suddenly and walk quickly to the window.

"Elder Zhang, ...... are you?"

Everyone must have been amazed, and they wanted to ask what was going on, and then they fell silent.

Because at this time, there is no need to ask more. At this moment, Zhang Lao raised the spoon to face the sun, and everyone could immediately see a touch of crystal light, and a little bit of light like starlight floated out.

Of course, because there is not much material in the spoon, these little stars are not bright, but they are very noticeable. And it is highly recognizable, so that everyone can see it clearly.

"Fluorescent resin?"

After half a ring, Wang Guan was overjoyed.

"You've seen it yourself, can it be fake?" Zhang Lao is also very happy, being able to personally verify and excavate something that has been extinct for thousands of years is a pleasant thing in itself.

"Great, thank you Mr. Zhang."

For a while, Wang Guan was grateful.

"Don't thank me, even if you don't have me, if you ask Ling Xi for advice when you go back, he will tell you what to do." Zhang Lao waved his hand and said, "Congratulations, you got another treasure." ”

"It's just a normal thing." Wang Guan said hypocritically: "Except for being able to flood light, there is no other effect." ”

"You're just cheap and good."

In an instant, Zhang Lao scolded with a smile: "You can't look at it, just send it to me." ”

"Hey, hey."

Wang Guan smiled and said nothing, no doubt the meaning of refusal.

"Wang Guan, don't think I'm joking."

At this time, Zhang Lao said solemnly: "This is a rare treasure, you must not take it lightly." You go to a master calligrapher, mix the grease with the ink, and ask him to write a work. Then this work immediately increased in value by more than 100 times, and then spread for dozens or hundreds of years, and it is another sky-high art treasure. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your advice." Wang Guan's eyes lit up, and he felt that this proposal was too wonderful.

"If you let some famous calligraphers know that you have such a thing on hand, they will definitely flock to grab it, and the price is less than 10 million, you can drive people out." Zhang Lao said lightly: "Don't think the price is exaggerated, you must know that the work created by melting the grease in the ink is a sacred chapter in the legend that the words are shining and blooming." ”

"Of course, no matter how good things are, there will be some flaws." Zhang Lao shook his head and said regretfully: "There will always be two sides to things, this is an unavoidable situation. ”

Wang Guan was first overjoyed, then shocked, and hurriedly asked: "What flaw?" (To be continued......)
