"Eun Gong?" Tang Yi frowned, and turned bluntly, "Could it be your craft?" ”

Shan Liancheng nodded, "Although he is no more than two years older than me, I originally wanted to worship him as a teacher, but he insisted on refusing, saying that he has too many rules in the sect, and he has decided not to accept apprentices in this life." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info and also warned me about something, but unfortunately, I didn't listen to it all. ”

Tang Yi snorted, thinking that Chen Chengzhi didn't tell Shan Liancheng about the Five Ancient Sealing Lights Golden Gate. And this warning may have something to do with fraud.

"That must have been a long time ago." Tang Yi took a puff of his cigarette.

"It's been more than thirty years. At that time, I was just a coppersmith in Wolf Smoke Village. Shan Liancheng slowly exhaled a puff of smoke rings, "If you have time, I'll give you a chatter." ”

"You say, I'm interested."

Today's Langyan Village is not as good as it was a few years ago. In the heyday a few years ago, one-third of the village's 3,000 people made antique bronzes, involving hundreds or thousands of varieties. Among them, there are also those that are sold as handicrafts; However, naturally, there are also a large number of utensils that are "broken for their own view" into the market, and finally placed in the Bogu shelf and safe.

The origin of Langyan Village becoming a bronze village has a great relationship with Shan Liancheng.

In the early 80s, like many ordinary villages in the Central Plains, the villagers lived on one acre and three points of land.

Shan Liancheng was a coppersmith in the village, but in that era, he couldn't earn three melons and two dates. Once, he went to a neighboring village to collect scrap copper, and collected a broken thing with a strange shape.

This thing is more than ten centimeters high, the body is square and round, the abdomen is hanging and the feet are circled, and there is a "flow" on the side of the opening, which is convenient for pouring water outward, such as the shape of a bird's beak. There is also a handle on one side, and above the handle is the head of the beast.

Shan Liancheng is a coppersmith and can see that it is bronze. At that time, there was little knowledge of antiques, and bronze was not as valuable as brass. And this thing is broken, there are several cracks in the body, the "flow" is broken, and the two splits are split.

Therefore, this thing is very cheap to collect in Shan Liancheng.

However, Shan Liancheng is a more careful person, he found that although this thing has green rust, but the exposed ornaments are very exquisite, and he doesn't know any Kui patterns and thunder patterns, so he thinks this thing is worth inquiring about.

At that time, the information was not developed, and there was not much to check, so he drew it as it was and went to the county seat with a piece of paper.

He knew a middle-aged man in the county seat, who was originally a university professor in Jinmen, but had gone back to his hometown for special reasons. He knew this professor because he had met him once when he was collecting things, and this professor had also gone to the countryside to collect things, and he seemed to be very interested in bronzes. The two once met with heavy rain and chatted under the eaves of a farmer's house, and the professor told him that if he received something good, he could go to him, and left an address.

When I arrived at the professor's house, I happened to have a guest. As soon as the professor heard that there was a picture to see, he said that he would take it out and take a look at it together, this Xiao Chen is also an expert.

The Xiao Chen that the professor said looked like he was in his thirties, younger than Shan Liancheng, and polite, but his eyes were very bright and didn't look sour. In fact, he was older than Shan Liancheng. It's no wonder that Shan Liancheng has lived in the village for many years and looks old.

Shan Liancheng took out the drawings he had drawn. When the professor saw it, his face changed, and he immediately showed the picture to Xiao Chen again.

"Western Zhou Kui Pattern?" Xiao Chen spoke directly, and then asked Xiang Shan Liancheng, "Where is this wine vessel?" ”

It is a kind of wine vessel, and people who don't know antiques also know it. The wine vessels and wine chips are staggered, describing the warmth of the banquet.

Shan Liancheng thought about it, it was really, a handle, a "flow", and it was just right to drink, "It's in my house!" But it's badly broken. "Shan Liancheng told me about the devastation.

When the professor heard this, he said, "It's a pity! ”

As a result, Xiao Chen said, "I'll go and see it first." ”

The professor nodded. Before leaving, Shan Liancheng listened to the professor say some words of thanks to this Xiao Chen. It seems that this Xiao Chen is from Jinmen and has told the professor some information, and the professor can now return to the university in Jinmen.

On the way, "Xiao Chen" told Shan Liancheng that his name was Chen Chengzhi, a folk craftsman from Jinmen, and he also made bronze ware. Shan Liancheng hurriedly said, "You are not a craftsman, you can talk to the big professor, I didn't remember all the 'what' just said." ”

Chen Chengzhi smiled, "In the Central Plains, there are more bronzes than Jinmen, and I came this time to visit." ”

When he arrived at home, Chen Chengzhi saw this piece of Kui pattern, "That's right, it's from the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Kui pattern is the main, the thunder pattern is supplemented, and the beast head is in the hand, but unfortunately there is no inscription, and it is broken, otherwise it is really a treasure!" ”

"Western Zhou?" Shan Liancheng also graduated from junior high school in his early years, and after listening to it, he thought about it, "Isn't it more than 2,000 years?" ”

"This is something from the early Western Zhou Dynasty, I'm afraid it has been nearly three thousand years old." Chen Chengzhi looked at it carefully, "This thing can still be repaired!" ”

"Can you still fix it?" Although Shan Liancheng is a coppersmith, this thing is too old, it is too broken, and the copper and rust color are not easy to grasp, so I was surprised to hear it.

"So be it!" Chen Chengzhi thought for a while, "I see that you are also a person, there is no one else at home, you take care of my food and accommodation during this time, I will help you fix the things, you can sell them at a good price." ”

Shan Liancheng waved his hand again and again, "No, no, my yard is sloppy, you don't dislike it, just live, eat, Wotou pickles can still be managed." I see that you like it so much, you take it when the thing is repaired. You asked me to learn your craft, and I've earned it! ”

Chen Chengzhi looked at Shan Liancheng, "You're not greedy." Do you know how much this thing is worth when it is given to someone who knows how to do it, even if it is repaired? I don't collect things of this condition, so if you keep them, you'll keep them! ”

When Shan Liancheng heard this, he snorted and asked, "Mr. Chen, how much is this thing worth?" ”

"At least it's worth it!" Chen Chengzhi stretched out five fingers.

"Fifty? I'm good! Shan Liancheng was speechless, "I heard that the county magistrate's salary is less than 100 yuan a month!" ”

Chen Chengzhi smiled, "It's five hundred." I'm just talking about finding someone who knows how to collect it in China. If you have a way, you can exchange more foreign exchange coupons! ”

"What is a foreign exchange voucher?" Shan Liancheng scratched his head.

"It can be used as money, you can buy things in special places, and you can exchange foreign money." Chen Chengzhi smiled, "Okay, let's not talk about it, after repairing, you can keep it." Now that the reform and opening up has been carried out, in a few years, the salary of your county magistrate will not only be so small, but it will definitely not be able to catch up with the increase in this thing. When the time comes, you will sell it again when you are short of money! However, when you sell it, be sure to state that it is repaired. ”
