Chapter 108: Elder Wang's New Lesson
Early the next morning, after Zhang Xia dropped her mother off at the bookstore, she drove her daughter to Jiguxuan.
Wang Lao had already prepared the check, "Here, there is still 1.36 million left after deducting the fees of the auction hall." ”
"Thank you for being old, I don't even know what to say to thank you." Zhang Xia took the check and said gratefully.
"Thank you, Lan Lan, this girl is my apprentice, she has this talent and luck is a blessing!" Wang Xuemin patted Ye Jinglan's shoulder with a loving face and said with a smile.
"Mom, go to the store! I'm going to class! My serious study is the best reward for my teacher! Ye Jinglan pushed her mother out with a smile, the person who should be thanked, she will definitely be grateful with her heart in this life, and she already wants to be grateful.
At first, she wanted to send the system in exchange for antiques, but she thought that her master knew that her family's conditions were average and she would not ask for it in vain, so she gave up.
Then, after searching continuously, she finally found a person who wanted to exchange herbs, mountain delicacies, and wild honey with her for daily necessities and food.
Then she decisively chose the transaction, and after the transaction was successful, she saw the information of this person, which was also magical enough, he was a tragic ghost who was forced to flee after arriving in the Song Dynasty after traveling through thousands of years and becoming a family member of the imperial doctor.
The reason is a very bloody harem fight, the doctor was afraid of being wiped out, so he fled into the mountains with his children and wives to live in the mountains, the original ecology is very good, and he can live with medical skills, but it is very pitiful that there are too few materials, but fortunately, this sad person has such a system like her.
The two of them hit it off, there are too few wild good things in this era, and they can cooperate for a long time in the future, but this is a later story.
"Master, I asked someone to buy mountain delicacies and wild honey for you and your wife." After her mother left, Ye Jinglan opened her full schoolbag.
Wild honey was only exchanged for two cans, so she didn't keep it for her family, and planned to wait for the next time to change it.
"Yo, this is a lion's mane mushroom, it's not small, and this ginseng has been around for some years, this bird's nest looks good, this is a wild gastrodia, it's not easy to get!" Wang Xuemin opened the package and looked at it the same, feeling that this apprentice was really attentive, and now people are slowly getting rich and they are beginning to pay attention to health, and the price of these mountain medicinal materials has also risen, and many wild ones can't be bought with money.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's all from the mountains, it's worthless." Ye Jinglan smiled and waved her hand, but these really didn't cost anything, they were all exchanged for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and cloth quilts.
"Okay, it's good if you have this heart, I'll take these masters. Okay, let's start the new course today! Today we are talking about ceramics. After Wang Xuemin packed the things, he officially taught the class.
Ye Jinglan also took out her notes and listened carefully.
"Pottery first and then porcelain, and pottery can be summarized by several cultures, the first is the Peiligang culture, which is the earliest clay pottery found, with a history of about 8,000 years."
"Then there is the Yangshao culture, with faience as its main feature, according to the carbon 14 determination, the age is about 7000-5000 years ago."
Finally, there is Longshan culture, according to carbon 14 determination, the age is about 4300-3800 years ago, black pottery is the most representative utensils, especially "eggshell black pottery" is the most exquisite. At the same time, white pottery fired from kaolin also appeared in the late Longshan culture. It laid the foundation for the later invention of primitive porcelain. ”
"What does eggshell black pottery look like?" Pottery Ye Jinglan already had a preliminary understanding when she was looking through the books, but it was the first time she had heard the statement of eggshell black pottery, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Look at this, this is a photo of an eggshell black pottery cup taken in a museum, and it is said that it has this name because this black pottery is as thin as an eggshell." Wang Xuemin handed the photo prepared in advance to Ye Jinglan to see, and then explained.
"The zuò process of making this kind of black pottery has been lost, so the finished products left now are even rarer, and it is difficult to see, which is also the precious place of black pottery, and it is absolutely a luxury to be able to get a complete eggshell pottery in the collection world." It can be said that Wang Xuemin never thought that he could have an eggshell pottery.
Ye Jinglan wrote down the appearance of eggshell black pottery, expressing her understanding, what the master meant in this sentence is that if anyone boasts that he has eggshell black pottery in the future, it will be a fake imitation, such a thin thing, it is strange that it will not be broken for thousands of years.
"In recent years, most of the pottery that everyone collects is the painted pottery of the Qin and Han dynasties. As for how to identify, first of all, we have to look at the fetal quality, the ancient ancestors made zuò painted pottery, the selection of high-quality clay alluvial by the river, pure and free of impurities, moist as a powder cake; And into the mud has flexibility. The pottery made of firing has a "glue" texture when viewed with the naked eye. ”
"Due to the poor firing technology at that time, the firing temperature was relatively low, and the fired pottery had strong water absorption. Hitting the pottery with your hands will make a low, mute sound; Pottery by hand feels lighter; There should be no heavy pressure on the hand; When the pottery is wetted with water, you can smell a faint smell of earthy meat; If you look at the surface of the pottery, you will have a small needle's eye. ”
"Then look at the shape, the real ancient pottery gives people the feeling of being simple, pure, natural, soft, and full of vicissitudes, without a stiff sense of fire, just like this." Wang Xuemin said and showed a piece of painted pottery in the store to Ye Jinglan to see.
"Finally, it is important to understand the painting of faience, which is the specific clan symbol of each clan or tribe at that time. For example, Xi'an Banpo painted pottery mainly paints human face patterns, fish patterns, and deformed bird patterns; Majiayao painted pottery is mainly painted with swirl patterns, god and man patterns, and network patterns; Xindian painted pottery is mainly painted with double hook pattern, sun pattern, deer text, bird pattern; Dawenkou faience is mainly painted with octagonal patterns and deformed floral patterns. ”
On this side, Ye Jinglan is studying seriously, and on the other hand, Xiang Shaofan is not left behind, and he has high requirements for himself, although he usually doesn't listen very carefully at school, but he is still very serious when the tutor he invited to give lectures.
For example, in addition to his native language and English, he also asks someone to teach him French, German, Japanese, and Italian, because his ambition is not small, and he wants to make money from foreigners like his father.
"Shaofan, it's better to listen to your grandfather's decision to go to the military academy." After his son finished class, Li Qin persuaded him earnestly.
Originally, she did not object to her son's business, but they now have a lot of inheritance, and they will not be short of money to spend for the rest of their lives, and if her son goes to a military school, it will not be convenient to come out to act, then he and this girl will almost break off.
When he matures and grows up, he will be able to find a daughter-in-law who is the right person.
And Li Qin thinks that his father's words are very reasonable, his father can live for a few years, who can cover their mother and son so sincerely at that time, in this place, if there is no power, no matter how much money you have, it will be difficult to keep it, but if her son can go to a high place in a certain time, it will be different.
