Chapter 30: Reverence
The old man listened to Xie Bin's comment, not only did he not get angry, but laughed, "Yes, yes, you are the first person to answer like this." ”
Xie Bin also smiled slightly, his eyes glanced at Li Jingjing on the side, and asked quietly, "What did that person say?" ”
"She?" The old man said with a little embarrassment: "She has criticized my words to the end," and laughed again, "Come and sit, I have some good Pu'er here, come and try it." ”
Xie Bin smiled slightly in his heart, this old man should be very easy to get along with, and it is rare to be this childlike heart, joy, anger and sorrow are completely expressed on his face, and he does not hide his ugly things at all. Moreover, he can hang these two words of average level in the living room generously, and he is obviously a person who doesn't care much about what others say, or is somewhat similar to his grandfather, very open-minded. Uh, of course, the level of writing is not comparable, Xie Bin and his grandfather's handwriting can throw this old man for several streets. It's just that this character is written so generally, why can the seal be engraved so well?
Li Jingjing was very familiar with this place, and went to make tea with a teapot and cup, while the little girl Qiao'er snuggled in the old man's arms and looked at Xie Bin on the side curiously.
"What do you call you, young man?" The old man also looked at Xie Bin, who was sitting on the side, and asked.
"Just call me Xiao Xie," Xie Bin hurriedly said, and as he spoke, he also asked: "Old man, is it you with the name 'Bouldering Old Man'?" ”
The old man smiled, "Well, how about this font size?" ”
"Very good, it fits your identity," Xie Bin also knew at this time, this old man is playing with stones, and this name is really very in line with the identity of the old man.
The old man was very happy to hear this, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, my old man is playing with stones, and it is normal to be a 'bouldering old man', but why do you want to carve a 'Xie Shishan man'?" ”
Xie Bin was stunned for a moment, "This, I'm not afraid of your old man's jokes, although I am playing bamboo and wood carving, but I made a fortune playing with stones, well, it's jade, you know?" ”
"Well, I know, gambling stones, I didn't think you would play that," the old man nodded, "In this way, your mentality is very good, and it is rare to be able to maintain a grateful heart all the time." ”
Xie Bin said, "It's just a whim, it's not as good as you always say," this is also true, in fact, what he should be most grateful for is the necklace on his body, which is the source of his ability and the root of the change in his life.
The old man nodded and shook his head when he heard this, "Young man, in life, there are two kinds of mentality that should always remain in your heart, one is gratitude, and the other is awe. He said and explained: "Gratitude makes you not forget your roots, even if you do all the evil things, as long as you know how to repay your kindness, you are still a good man; And the heart of awe can keep you cautious and humble at all times, with these two attitudes, walking in the world, you have to be much more proficient. ”
Xie Bin listened and nodded silently, which was somewhat similar to what his grandfather had said, especially the awe. Xie Bin has also come over this way over the years, including now, even if Xie Bin has special abilities, he has not forgotten his principles of being a man, but has become more and more cautious.
The more you know about this world, the stronger your sense of ignorance will be. Xie Bin is even more cautious precisely because he has an ability of unknown origin, who knows if there is anyone else in this world who has this ability, or even stronger than this ability.
There are a few old sayings in the country, such as "there are gods in the head and three feet up", "people are watching the sky", etc., which is to keep people in awe. With awe, you will be much more resilient to stress when you are exposed to all kinds of bad temptations. Including the so-called faith, which also has this effect. It is said that in addition to persuading people to do good, the means of punishing evil are also not weak, which is to keep the world and believers in awe at all times.
Even people who have no faith are afraid of the country's law enforcement agencies, which can be regarded as awe, and with this kind of awe, many people can also stop the precipice, such as Xie Bin. Of course, there are many people who have broken through this constraint, and no matter how timid they are, they can do some heinous bad things that have lost their conscience. There are also people who are born in high positions and have no faith, and the law enforcement agencies have no binding force on him, so it is not surprising that if the family education is worse, it is not surprising that he will do some shocking things. For example, Li Who, who is who, just lacks basic awe, otherwise he would not have repeatedly done such a thing, and eventually made a mess out of control.
Li Jingjing quickly brewed the tea, took out four blue and white porcelain cups, and poured a cup for each person. Xie Bin didn't do much research on tea, and he didn't know anything about porcelain, so he couldn't see anything good or bad. Although the people of Daocheng are also more able to drink tea, the way of drinking tea is still biased towards northerners, who make a pot and drink it so much, rather than drinking kung fu tea like southerners.
However, this tea is indeed much stronger than Xie Bin's previous dozens of yuan and a big bag of green tea. After this tea is brewed, the soup is red and very thick, but it has a bright luster. Xie Bin took a sip gently, the taste was very mellow, this feeling was a bit like old wine, and people couldn't help but have an aftertaste. After a mouthful, full of old fragrance, Xie Bin couldn't help but spit out a word: "Good!" Then I felt that it was not enjoyable, and added two more words, "Good tea!" ”
The old man laughed when he heard this, even Li Jingjing laughed, and the little girl Qiao'er quietly held the cup and "giggled".
Xie Bin didn't feel embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Don't laugh at the old man, it's really the first time to drink such a bad thing, this taste is amazing." Xie Bin said, and gave a thumbs up.
To say that he doesn't know anything about Pu'er tea, it's definitely impossible, but Xie Bin is only limited to knowing, he has never drunk such tea, he has never even seen it, he has only heard of it. In today's society, information is so developed, if you want to know something, you can check it on the Internet, and 99% of it can be found, and it is very detailed.
The same is true of this Pu'er tea, there is a lot of information on the Internet, and there are still some people who advertise on the Internet every day to promote Pu'er tea Tieguanyin or something. In Xie Binjia's jade group, there are such things every day, and the kicks are not clean, which is annoying.
It is said that Pu'er tea is a very unique one, other teas are fresh, but Pu'er is more fragrant and precious the older it is. It is said that once when cleaning up the warehouse of the Forbidden City, a large piece of Pu'er tea bricks was sorted out, that guy is much more valuable than celebrity calligraphy and painting, it is simply a super national treasure, and countless people can ask for it but cannot get it.
Now Xie Bin and what they are drinking, it will naturally not be so high-end, but it is definitely very authentic. This kind of color and taste is definitely not something that some defective products can have. It's true that Xie Bin hasn't drunk Pu'er tea, but he still has this appreciation.
People like Xie Bin and them have reached a certain level, that is, one law can be used for ten thousand laws. When they face everything, their way of thinking is often much higher than that of ordinary people. Many people often don't know where to start when faced with something they don't know. But Xie Bin and these people can clearly grasp the tricks and key points, and in combination with their own understanding, they can quickly understand the essence of things.
Xie Bin had never seen Pu'er tea, but he knew that no matter what kind of tea, it had to be drunk to reflect its value. Since it is used to drink, it is naturally inseparable from color and flavor. Thinking about it this way, combined with the little knowledge I know, I can almost understand the general situation of this Pu'er tea.
The old man looked at Xie Bin's happy expression and said with a smile: "Xiao Xie likes it so much, I'll give you some when I leave." ”
Xie Bin was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand, "This is not good, you must not do it." "Of course this won't work, but Xie Bin has a request for this old man, he is a little rude if he doesn't bring any gifts, how can he leave with something from someone else's house. In fact, Xie Bin brought a small gift, that is, the shepherd boy bull riding ornament given to Qiao'er.
This shepherd boy riding a bull is a more traditional theme, not only bamboo and wood carving, but also painting, printmaking, paper-cutting and other art fields can also be often used. But what about this kind of subject, it can stand up to use, so many painters and sculptors have used this kind of subject matter for so many years, but people still often use it.
After all, he will not repeat hand-carved things, just like Xie Bin, I don't know how many objects with such a theme have been carved, but no two pieces are the same, and even similar ones are very few. After all, human thinking is very flexible, and the same subject matter carved by different materials and different times has different connotations.
There are cows, cows, lying cows, buffaloes, cattle, etc., there are those who turn back, those who eat grass, those who drink water, and those who flick their tails, and the shepherd boys, who also have boys and girls, who carry whips, who play flutes, and who blow leaves, coupled with the changes in the surrounding environment, these themes can be derived from a lot of works.
In this work of a shepherd boy riding a bull, a little girl wearing a belly pocket rides on the body of a large yellow ox, holding a fresh branch in her hand and sticking it out in front of the big yellow cow's head. The ox lay cross-legged on the ground, its head twisted to the left, and its tongue sticked out to the branch in the shepherd boy's hand, while the tail of the ox was raised high, as if to drive away the cow and fly.
The whole work, the carving work naturally has nothing to say, the lines are very smooth, the powerful muscles and bulging belly on the leg of the big yellow cow, one is powerful, the other is plump, but the combination is very perfect, plus the crooked head of the cow and the tail of the ox, the two take care of each other, and it is very natural. The little girl wears a belly pocket, which looks very childlike, coupled with very detailed lines and knife skills, the outline of the little girl is vivid, especially the branch as an embellishment, which links the big yellow cow and the little girl very coordinatedly, making the structure of the whole work very reasonable.
This work was carved by Xie Bin before, but it has never been sold. It's not that I didn't like this work, but Xie Bin's asking price was relatively high, so he kept it, and Xie Bin himself had to play with it from time to time.
This time I came to see the old man, Xie Bin didn't have time to prepare a gift, so he took this work, originally thinking that this work was very childlike, although it was not very suitable for the occasion, but it would not be rude. It's just that I didn't expect that there was a little girl who made this gift very decent.
But even so, Xie Bin still didn't dare to really accept the old man's gift. "Old man, I heard Jingjing say that you are looking for me, is there something wrong?"
When the old man saw that Xie Bin didn't want his tea, he didn't insist anymore, but smiled and said, "Xiao Xie, where did you get such a treasure?" ”
"You're talking about the near-full-blooded bloodstone, right?" Xie Bin asked, and when he saw the old man nodding, he explained, "I bought it in Changhua, and there is a story to tell." Saying that, Xie Bin explained how Wang Ying picked up this stone and how he liked it, and then bought it for 180,000 yuan. (PS: Thank you friends for your support!)
