Chapter 136: Wood Kiln Porcelain Jar
Seeing Tang Xin staring at herself, her eyes were obviously asking when she would teach her, Hong Tianbao reluctantly added: "I'm not free now, I'll talk about it when I have time." ”
"Then you'll have to give a time, right?" Tang Xin is not stupid, Hong Tianbao's tone is clearly perfunctory, so she will not be as stupid as Sun Moba. So Tang Xin began to strike while the iron was hot, and then asked.
Who knew that Hong Tianbao would not eat this set, and said lightly: "If you can't wait for this, then you should not learn it." And not everyone is suitable for martial arts, you'd better be mentally prepared, don't blame me if you don't practice well when the time comes. ”
Tang Xin was suddenly deflated, what she was most afraid of was Hong Tianbao's current appearance of not getting in with oil and salt. I have nowhere to use my own strength! A punch in the water, no reaction at all.
"Alright then!" At this point, what can she do except wait? This internal power is not only an incomprehensible temptation for men, but also a fanatical pursuit of women. Who hasn't had a dream? Many people want to practice swords, I'm afraid women also have such a "hero" dream, right?
There may be only Lin Hui who smiled indifferently, whether it is life or life, he can see it very thoroughly. Plus I'm older, and that kind of dream seems to have been almost forgotten, so the ** of practicing martial arts is not strong.
"Huh! Since Tianbao promised you, Tang Yatou can rest assured! You know better than me, what kind of person Tianbao is, right? He hasn't tried to break his word, has he? Lin Hui smiled indifferently.
Tang Xin thought about it carefully, Hong Tianbao really didn't seem to have a bad criminal record, and during this period of contact, as long as Hong Tianbao promised, he would basically fulfill his promise. Despite this, he is still a little unhappy in his heart, his time is simply an empty word, who knows when he will be free?
At this time, the big yellow dog lying on the ground gnawing bones suddenly rushed out and barked loudly at the same time. Hong Tianbao was surprised, and immediately let go of his divine sense and dispersed outside. I found two men, one old and one young, both of whom were estimated to be farmers in this village, holding shovels and other digging tools in their hands. The old peasant also led a porcelain jar, and there was silt on the surface of the porcelain jar.
"Seeing" the porcelain jar, Hong Tianbao's eyes lit up, and then he was shocked and dignified.
The old yellow dog went outside, and when he saw that the other party was an "acquaintance", he ran in and continued his meal.
"Huh! This beast is so stupid that I can't hear footsteps for so long, and even I can hear people. Lin Hui laughed, although the dog was stupid, but everyone could hear his affection in that tone.
"Let's go out and have a look!" Hong Tianbao proposed.
"What's so nice about that? The old man not far from the next door. This man had come to me two days earlier to borrow tools and to dig a deep well beside the cattle pen. After digging for more than a day, it is estimated that it is almost over, and now it should be time to return the tools. Lin Hui didn't have to go out to see who it was.
At this time, the people outside shouted: "Lao Lin, your tools are all at the door!" ”
Lin Hui also shouted outside: "Okay! Right at the door! Come in and smoke a cigarette! ”
The man was not polite, and when he saw that the digging tools were placed at the door, he brought in a young man who was older than Hong Tianbao.
"Yo! There are also guests! Then I'm going to stay a little bit longer, an old ghost. As soon as the old man saw Hong Tianbao, Tang Xin and Sun Moba, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was about to turn around and leave after speaking.
Lao Ren secretly wondered in his heart, he knew that Lin Hui was a big official before. Since I met Lin Hui, it has been twenty or thirty years, and I have never heard of him having relatives except for some political axe teams who will come to visit! What is the relationship between these young people and Lao Lin?
"Oops! Don't go! These are the descendants of my old leaders, and I was lucky enough to meet them today, so I came over for a meal. Have you and Xiao Ren eaten? I'll fill you with two chopsticks! I guess the food is still hot. After speaking, Lin Hui walked inside.
Lao Ren was about to open his mouth to refuse, but Lin Hui had already arrived inside, so he had to sit down.
Tang Xin also caught up to help hold the few still hot side dishes, and Hong Tianbao beckoned the old man to sit down.
"Let's have a cup of tea, old man!" Hong Tianbao poured two cups of hot tea and gave one to each of them. Sun Moba took out two cigarettes, but both of them politely refused: "Hehe! Xiaoyou has a heart, I can't get used to this! He doesn't smoke. ”
Hong Tianbao smiled, knowing that many of these old people, especially in the countryside, like hookahs, and they are bored with this kind of paper cigarettes. Sun Moba was also very polite because Hong Tianbao was present. This is all for Hong Tianbao to see, if Hong Tianbao is happy and rewards him with two pills, then he will make a lot of money.
"It's rare to see you! This old forest is also lonely! As juniors, you should come to visit more! When this person is old, he is very prone to sadness and loneliness. Every year, when I see this old man celebrating the New Year alone, my old man is also sad. Every time he asked him to go over and eat together, he was unwilling. Alas! The old man said suddenly, with a hint of reproach in his tone.
Sun Moba and Hong Tianbao were both embarrassed by these words, and they also understood what this old farmer meant, which was nothing more than blaming Hong Tianbao and the others for not visiting Lin Hui once for so long.
"I will definitely come here often in the future, in fact, several of us are from the capital, and I learned not long ago that there is an elder living here. Now that I know, I'll be back and forth a lot in the future. Hong Tianbao explained.
The old farmer nodded, secretly saying no wonder. In the consciousness of the old peasants, the capital is quite far away, and it is not strange that there are not many contacts, and the saying goes: distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!
Hong Tianbao looked at the porcelain jar that the old farmer placed next to him, and suddenly asked, "Old man!" Where did you get this porcelain jar? Can you show me? ”
"Huh? Oh! What the hell! Look at it! This is what I dug while I was digging a well, depressed! Originally, I wanted to dig a well to get water. But after digging for two days, it was more than ten meters deep, and I couldn't find a drop of water, so I found these things. The old farmer handed the porcelain jar to Hong Tianbao and said.
This is also strange, it stands to reason that there is no shortage of groundwater in this place, and the water below can be found after digging ten meters. But this time it was different, it was estimated that it was seven or eight meters, there was no water, and even the soil was a little dry. The most excavated porcelain objects were these porcelain, five or six, two of which were inadvertently smashed. When the old farmer saw that this porcelain jar was big enough, he thought that it was still a little useful, so he took it back.
"What? In addition to this porcelain jar, what other porcelain products are there? Hong Tianbao said in surprise.
"That's right! I accidentally smashed two porcelain bowls, and there were three porcelain cups there, which were useless, so I didn't bring them back. Seeing that Hong Tianbao reacted so much, the old farmer said puzzled.
Hong Tianbao was shocked in his heart, it seems that this time is another major discovery. He turned his gaze to the porcelain jar in his hand, this porcelain jar was the size of a basin, and it was indeed very useful, no wonder the old peasant would bring it back.
Taking a closer look at the porcelain jar, Hong Tianbao found that the porcelain jar was as blue as the sky, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, moist and delicate, with fine lines, different colors, and no pattern on it. Gently knock on the porcelain jar, the sound is like a chime, and the bottom of it presents the original rough yellow of the porcelain embryo.
Hong Tianbao looked at the age of this porcelain jar again, and found that this was an object from the Later Zhou Dynasty, which had a long age. According to this series of performances, Hong Tianbao guessed that this porcelain jar was a firewood kiln in the Later Zhou Dynasty.
The term firewood kiln may be extremely unfamiliar to everyone, which is not surprising, firewood kiln is a legend. Firewood kiln, according to records, was founded in Zhengzhou, Henan Province in the early years of Zhou Xiande after five dynasties, and was originally the imperial kiln of Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong, so it was called firewood kiln from the Northern Song Dynasty. However, no physical objects and kiln sites have been found so far, so they are not among the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty recognized in contemporary times.
Zhou Shizong once set the imperial kiln porcelain, "the rain over the azure clouds break the place, the color of the future for the future", according to which it is inferred that the firewood kiln porcelain should be azure glazed porcelain.
Hong Tianbao is from the old uncle to give the "Jingdezhen pottery record" from the firewood kiln, this book is the Qing Dynasty Lanpu and Zheng Tinggui wrote, which mentioned: "moist and delicate, there are fine lines, the fine color is different, for the crown of the kilns", but also said that the firewood kiln porcelain has not been available for a long time, get the fragments, but also as treasures, used as clothing, hat ornaments; The porcelain pieces of the firewood kiln are dazzling, like flying arrows.
The ancients had a very high evaluation of the firewood kiln, but because the actual object and kiln site of the firewood kiln have not been found, the firewood kiln can only be circulated in the industry, and the outside world does not know such a skilled porcelain kiln.
According to the old farmer's words, Hong Tianbao is almost certain that the kiln site of the firewood kiln is where the old farmer dug the well. Otherwise, it would be impossible to dig up so many firewood kiln products at once.
Hong Tianbao was so anxious that he almost forgot that the people hadn't eaten yet, and just wanted to let the old farmer lead the way to take a look. At this time, Lin Hui and Tang Xin came out of it. Lin Hui had just heated up the food in it a little, and even though the food had just been brought in and was still steaming, it was better to heat it up for the guests.
"Lao Ren, you and Xiao Ren hurry up and have some food, I'm sorry! It's all our leftovers, so let's do it! Lin Hui said with a smile, feeling particularly energetic and happy today. Not only can I meet the descendants of the three old leaders, but I also cured the old problems that have tormented me for many years, which is really refreshing for people!
"Haha! They are all old neighbors, and they still say such kind words! Lao Ren laughed.
"How? Well dug and pulled? It's going well, right? Lin Lao asked with a smile.
"Alas! Not good! After digging more than ten meters, the soil below is still dry, and it is the first time I have encountered such a situation after living for so long. At the mention of this, Lao Ren sighed and said.
"Huh! How so? Even Lin Hui was surprised. Although he is not an indigenous here, he has lived here for so many years and knows a lot about this place. The village is not an arid place, and the groundwater is abundant. He had participated in several well digging operations in the village before, and almost always dug a few meters down to see the clear groundwater gushing up.
