Everyone present was suspicious of what Liu Yuhao said just now, what Africa, what Sanxingdui period many things have never been heard of, but as soon as they wanted to refute it, they suddenly found that they had no words.

If you can have a thousand-year-old ebony, why can't you have a thousand-year-old snow cherry tree?

Moreover, didn't Liu Yuhao say that Zeng Guofan, a famous minister of the Qing Dynasty, once mentioned the words of the thousand-year-old snow cherry tree in his family letter, so it can be seen that maybe it is true.

But what is the thousand-year-old snow cherry tree? What is the function?

Depending on the situation, probably no one knows.

"Old Lu, have you ever heard of the thousand-year-old snow cherry tree before?"

Jiang Kui's face was full of confusion, he is an expert in ancient porcelain restoration, and his strength is also in porcelain, so he can't help but be able to get rid of antiques and miscellaneous skills, so he naturally wants to consult Mr. Lu Yuheng.

Mr. Lu Lao is a well-known miscellaneous master in China, just now when he explained to everyone that the head of the head is the Tao, I dare not say that Bogu is through the present, but there are hills and valleys in the chest, and it must not be comparable to ordinary people.

It's a pity that Jiang Kui was soon disappointed.

Lu Lao was also puzzled, frowned, and shook his head slightly: "In terms of woodware, I'm not as good as Xiong Lao, and it's the first time I've heard of this thousand-year-old snow cherry tree." ”

Collecting requires not only extensive communication, but also continuous learning!

Lu Lao is not ashamed because he does not know the thousand-year-old snow cherry tree, but frankly launched Xiong Lao, who has profound attainments in woodware, and bluntly said that he is "not good at learning", and this frank and heroic bearing alone is worthy of many people's admiration.

Suddenly, Master Wang raised his head suddenly, with an incredible shock on his face, "Hui, Rejuvenation Box, Yu Hao, this box of yours is the legendary Rejuvenation Box!" ”

Master Wang's voice was not loud, but everyone heard it very clearly, and they all turned their heads with surprise, fortunately, everyone did not rashly ask, but there was a look of eagerness to know the answer on their faces.

What is a Rejuvenation Box?

So what does the thousand-year-old snow cherry tree have to do with the rejuvenation box?

Liu Yuhao's eyes lit up and said with a smile: "Master Wang, please continue!" ”

"I just thought of it suddenly, but it's not necessarily right."

Master Wang stood up with a smile and arched his hand towards everyone as he spoke.

Nowadays, few people bow their hands, but the custom is still preserved in the antique trade, which is always an expression of respect for others in a humble way.

However, there is also a need to stand with your legs straight, your upper body upright or slightly bent, and your hands clasped together in front of your chest. In general, men have their right hand clenched into a fist and their left hand outside; For women, it's the opposite, with the left fist inside and the right hand outside.

In today's bow ceremony, both sides don't pay much attention to which hand is in front and which hand is behind.

In the unfathomable collection circle, the most important thing is to pay attention to "learning without precedence, and the master is the teacher".

Many people already knew that Master Wang was a well-known "soil expert" in Panjiayuan's identity through the conversation just now, and naturally they refused to slack off, and they all returned the favor.

Old Man He smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Lao Wang, if you know one or two, just say it, so that we can raise our eyes." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!"

No matter how bold Master Wang is, he knows the depths, how can he say that he gave Old Man He "eyes up", so he smiled and shook his head again and again to be modest.

But since it was ordered by Old Man He, Master Wang would not disappoint the old man, and said with a smile: "I don't know if you still remember, Chang'an looked back at the piles of embroidery, and the top of the mountain opened thousands of times." As soon as the concubine laughed on the red dust, no one knew that it was a lychee. This poem? ”

"Of course I remember, it was Du Mu's "Passing the Huaqing Palace"."

Jiang Kui was young, and naturally his mouth was fast, and he shouted loudly before he realized that he was embarrassed, but it was already a fait accompli, and he could only pinch his nose and bow his head to admit it.

Master Wang knew Jiang Kui through Liu Yuhao, but he knew more about Jiang Kui than Liu Yuhao, of course he wouldn't mind, he smiled, and then said: "Everyone knows that Yang Guifei likes to eat lychees, but who knows where the lychees were produced in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

This question may be difficult for the average person, but it is not a problem for those who study history professionally.

"Tell me about it."

Old Man He glanced around, pointed to Liu Yuhao beside him and said with a smile.

He didn't dare to order Qi Lao, and he didn't dare to command Liu Yuhao!

Liu Yuhao smiled, such a simple question must not be difficult for him, cleared his throat and said: "According to historical records, lychees in the Tang Dynasty were produced in Fuzhou and Meishan, Fuzhou is about six or seven hundred kilometers away from Chang'an, and Meishan is farther away, about 1,000 kilometers. ”

Everyone didn't know whether what Liu Yuhao said was right or not, so they turned their eyes to Qi Lao.

Although the old man didn't speak, the clear-eyed person knew it when he saw the smile in the old man's eyes, and Liu answered it succinctly and to the point.

But Yang Guifei likes lychees and thousand-year-old snow cherry trees have a woolen relationship!

Going around and around, Master Wang still didn't get to the point.

Someone didn't want to, so he thought to himself below, "Master Wang, let's continue to talk about the thousand-year-old snow cherry tree!" ”

Master Wang nodded with a smile and said, "Let's take Fuzhou as an example, the fast horse transporting lychees is relayed day and night, if it can run 300 kilometers every day and night, it will be two days slower and three days long if it is sent to Chang'an." ”

That's a real problem!

Jiang Kui looked at Master Wang with wide eyes and without blinking, and after analyzing the old man's reasoning one by one, he couldn't help but nod secretly.

Master Wang took a sip of tea and continued: "And even if the closest people around the emperor offer tribute, it is impossible to be immediately sent to the emperor and the concubine to taste, and there is also a procedure for testing the poison, and by that time, the lychee has already changed its taste, if it is really as recorded in the book, I don't know how many people will be beheaded by Tang Gaozong at that time." ”

"Can't you keep it with ice?"

Guo's mother hadn't read any books, but she still knew the truth of refrigerator insurance, and she raised the question in her heart without thinking about it.

"Mom, no matter how confused Tang Gaozong is, he can't eat lychees for his concubine, so let's set up countless ice cellars on the road of a thousand miles."

Liu Yuhao couldn't help but explain.

Although there was already a technology to preserve ice cubes in the Tang Dynasty, it was not simple to preserve ice cubes at that time, and the huge amount of money and silver was unimaginable, so it was unrealistic to set up an ice cellar all the way from Fuzhou to Xi'an.

Guo's mother blushed, bit her lip and lowered her head, for fear that she would say something that would make her son lose face.

Mao Zhou was honest, and said with a smile: "Mother, if you like to eat lychees, it will be much simpler, I will ask my brother to buy you a plane to transport it once a day." ”

The crowd immediately burst into laughter.

Guo's mother couldn't help laughing out loud, and her face turned even redder.

Mao Zhou didn't know why, and said in a serious voice: "What are you laughing at, my brother bought a plane for my mother, which is also filial piety." ”

That's the truth!

With Liu Yuhao's current net worth, let alone buying an airplane, as long as it can be manufactured by modern technology, he can basically afford it.

"Well, look at Mao Zhou, big guy, where is the general who leads the troops to fight, he's just a bastard!"

Old Man He only thought it was funny at first and didn't laugh much, but when Mao Zhou made such a fuss, he couldn't help laughing.

Liu Yuhao nodded slightly, his face full of appreciation.

Others may not know, but Liu Yuhao knows very well in his heart, is his big brother Mao Zhou a stupid thing? The reason why he gags is because he is afraid that Guo's mother will be too embarrassed, so he deliberately uses his "stupidity" to divert everyone's attention.

Mao Zhou is so good to his parents, many times he can't think of things, Brother Mao will think about the front and take action.

This filial piety alone is enough to make Liu Yuhao embarrassed.

Not to mention, after Mao Zhou's fuss, the atmosphere in the exhibition hall suddenly became much more lively, and the smiles on everyone's faces changed from the initial restraint to real happiness.

There was only one person who didn't laugh.

Mr. Xiong is a woodware master, so he naturally knows that lychees must be eaten fresh, and the newer the better.

The ancients used to call the lychee "detached branch", that is, it could not leave the branch. As soon as it leaves the branch, the color changes in one day, the incense changes in the second day, the taste changes in the third day, and it rots after four or five days, and the good taste is gone.

From Fuzhou to Chang'an, if you run with a horse, it is expected that when the lychee arrives in Chang'an, it will probably become "candied fruit".

So, since the normal transportation method is not good, where does the lychee that Yang Guifei eats every day come from? Old Man Xiong's heart suddenly moved, got up and walked to the brocade box to take a closer look.

Of course, in the 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, there are many achievements of the wisdom of the working people that cannot be explained today.

As Cai Xiang recorded in his "Lychee Pedigree", people in his hometown often choose the most bright red lychee, and then find a very large bamboo in the bamboo forest, dig a hole and put the lychee in it, and then spread it with bamboo, wrap it in some mud, and seal it, the qi in the bamboo will moisten it, and once it is hidden, this lychee can be hidden until next winter.

Cai Xiang also mentioned later that in addition to this method, there are many methods like red salt. It is to take salt and plum brine to soak hibiscus, soak it into red pulp, and then throw the lychee into it, so dry, and then you can eat it as candied fruit.

"Old Xiong, don't look at it, the brocade box made of thousand-year-old snow cherry wood was used to hold lychees back then, and it was called the rejuvenation box at that time."

Master Wang noticed Xiong Lao's actions and walked over with a smile to explain.

"You, you mean this brocade box has the effect of preserving?"

Xiong Lao put down the magnifying glass in his hand and was stunned for a moment, his face showing a sense of disbelief.

Master Wang nodded firmly and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Yu Hao to know." ”

Liu Yuhao had already come over at this time, and he had heard the conversation between the two old men clearly, nodded with a smile, and said, "Old Xiong, I once put a lychee in this brocade box, and it is still as fresh as ever when I open it a month later." ”

"You"

Old Man Xiong's eyes were a little straight, and "you" didn't come out for a long time.
