Listening to what Lu Ji said, Xia Chen finally understood. This generation of transportation is not developed, it is impossible to quickly transport a fruit from the production area to thousands of miles away in large quantities, and the fruit wine must be ripe and has a high sugar content, and the temperature requirements are also very high, and in the Central Plains, there are only the hottest two or three months in the summer, which are barely suitable, and it is not easy to ferment at other times.

Due to various conditions, the production quantity of finished wine is limited, and it is difficult to transport it. And when there is a war, the first thing that will be affected is commerce and trade, not to mention that in ancient times, even in modern times, where there is war, food and clothing are also very problematic, and they have to ask for assistance at every turn, how can anyone be in the mood to make wine.

The current source of fruit wine in Dayun Kingdom is mainly tributed by several small countries in the south, and the quantity is extremely limited, so naturally it will not be sold. In short, scarcity is expensive, and although people who are really good at drinking know that fruit wine is not too enjoyable to drink, the price of this fruit wine is still ridiculously high.

Lu Ji suddenly felt very curious: "Why is Chen'er so interested in wine?" ”

Xia Chen said: "It's just a hobby." ”

Chen Susu covered her lips and smiled: "I can't see that Chen'er is actually a person who loves wine, so I'll go and prepare a few side dishes, and I'll stay for lunch later, and taste the Fenjiu of our Huiweiju, which is also very famous in this area." ”

Xia Chen hurriedly said: "Don't bother, I have to go back to the academy to go to class, and I'll have a drink with Brother Lu after the scientific examination." ”

Lu Ji said: "Since we don't force it to stay, we will have a long future." ”

Leaving Huiweiju, Xia Chen rode a horse and wandered the streets, pondering the wine-related information that Lu Ji had said. She mentions fruit wine because she only drinks fruit wine in modern times. Know a little bit about it. And I have also made a few bottles of wine at home, and the taste and color are also very good.

If fruit wine is really that valuable, then it doesn't take much to make a fortune. If Lu Ji can really brew the champion red again, she can discuss cooperation with him.

After walking for a while, Xia Chen was depressed and found that if he wanted to eat grapes in the spring of this era, it was undoubtedly a dream. She secretly teased herself in her heart. Isn't it the same as sitting in front of the computer and finding that the power goes out and wants to watch TV?

Suddenly, I saw an antique jade shop not far away. Although the façade is not big, it still makes Xia Chen's eyes light up, and his heartbeat is a little faster, like an old friend who has been separated for a long time during the journey.

Come to the store. I saw a few pieces of furniture on both sides, a few calligraphy and paintings and embroideries hanging on the wall, some ornaments on the counter, and some jade, porcelain, and silverware in the Duobao Pavilion behind the counter.

Xia Chen wanted to laugh a little in his heart. This store is a bit similar to He Wuyi's room, and it's all messy. It's no wonder that no one can categorize antiques specifically.

A white-faced middle-aged man in a cyan patterned robe stood at the counter, holding a fist-sized white jade Buddha in his hand and smacking his mouth while looking at it, "Baby." It's a baby. ”

Xia Chen was very interested when he heard this, and walked forward to look at it, this is a mutton fat white jade Maitreya Buddha. Clear and fine, white as cut fat. The fine light is blue inside, the jade quality is absolutely superb, and although the Buddha statue is small, the facial features are lifelike......

"Who are you?" The middle-aged man found Xia Chen and hurriedly wrapped the Buddha statue in his arms with a silk cloth under the Buddha statue.

Xia Chen couldn't laugh or cry: "Naturally, I'm a guest who came to see antiques." ”

The middle-aged man was just taken aback by her, and his mood was very uncomfortable, and seeing that she was only a half-grown child, he said quite contemptuously: "You look at antiques? Do you understand? ”

Xia Chen smiled slightly: "I know a little bit about it." After that, he pointed to the Duobao Pavilion behind him: "Among your utensils, this bronze tiger stripe bottle is the oldest, and the jade brush wash is the most valuable." After that, he pointed to an amber Pisces on the counter: "This is fake." Of course, whether there is a better one among those jade artifacts needs to be carefully identified. ”

The middle-aged man was surprised, stunned for a moment and said: "I can't see that the little boy really has some vision, and he also deals in antique jade at home?" Or does someone like to collect? ”

Xia Chen said: "I personally like these." ”

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, took out the white jade Buddha in his arms and put it on the counter: "Then look at this." ”

Xia Chen's evaluation of this jade Buddha was still very high, and the middle-aged man was very happy to hear it. "The little boy is really knowledgeable."

Xia Chen smiled and said, "You are the shopkeeper of this store, right?" How many people like to collect antiques in Anyang City? ”

The middle-aged man sighed: "It turns out that the little boy is not a local. You have also seen that the business in my store is not good, the people in Anyang City are quite interested in jade calligraphy and painting, and the others are much worse, I really have a few rare antiques here, but few people care about it, so I can only press the bottom of the box. ”

Xia Chen is not surprised by his remarks, the value of the collection depends on the appreciation space, the value of antiques depends on its research value or whether it has any special significance, not the more exquisite and the older it is, it is worth money, and in this era, there is no such thing as archaeology, naturally few people pay attention to these, in comparison, jade and calligraphy and painting with high appreciation are much more popular.

"Shopkeeper, can you show me what you said about the bottom of the box?"

The shopkeeper rarely met a person who was interested in these, and there happened to be no customers in the store, so he hesitated and nodded: "Okay, I just have an inscription sword here, as well as a few ancient coins, show it to you." Then he turned around and opened the drawer on the floor of His Excellency Duobao, and took out two wooden boxes, one long and one large, one small and one small.

He opened the small square box first, and there were five coins of different shapes and rust stains inside, Xia Chen could see at a glance that four of them were from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the most representative one was the ink knife coin, which made her excited and excited.

"Shopkeeper, take the liberty of asking, did you buy these?" She had seen a wooden sign at the door that read "Selling Antiques".

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Only one was collected by me, and the others were handed down from my ancestors, does the little boy know the age of these coins?" ”

Xia Chen made a rough calculation: "About seven hundred years ago, these coins are already very well preserved." As she spoke, she pointed to the half-moon-shaped coin that she had never seen in any historical records, and said, "I don't know this either." Suddenly she felt that the half-moon coin seemed to be made of the same material as her ring, and she leaned forward and looked at it carefully.

The shopkeeper was very surprised, and hurriedly opened the wooden box that was nearly three feet long: "Look at this sword again." ”

The length of this sword is about two feet, the width of the sword is about two and a half inches, the blade is straight on one side and curved on the other, the straight side is carved with many strange patterns, the curved side is very thin, and the blade is blue and extremely sharp. The hilt of the sword looks like wood, but it is made of stone with a wood grain.

Xia Chen had never seen a strange sword of this shape, but the moment the cabinet opened the box, she seemed to feel a cool breeze burrowing into her heart, and when she looked closely, there was a faint blue-green glow floating on the blade, and she felt even more cold.

"Shopkeeper, this sword ......" She didn't expect any peerless swords in this box, the shopkeeper had already said that this was the thing at the bottom of the box. Furthermore, if it is a sword in this era, how can no one care about it? But after she looked at this sword, she always felt that it was very unusual, was it all her own illusion? And she hadn't seen any famous sword like this in the book, and she couldn't judge for a while, so she wanted to hear what the shopkeeper had to say. (To be continued)
