Chapter 156: The Golden Carp Wok
On a ruler-long and square utensil, two vivid golden carps, one left and one right, are jumping into the water, and the large open fish mouth is reflected in the indoor light, which is faintly filled with golden glaze.
Golden carp wok!
According to the record of "Xinghuang Artifacts" in the brain, this artifact was made in the first year of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is a treasure among the artifacts of the apricot forest. Although the material used to make zuò is mainly large white clay, it is then fired in a cave kiln. However, it is not known what kind of materials are added by the makers in the post-firing process to make the finished product unique.
Wok is the name of the pot in ancient China. The casserole with two golden carp in front of you has a unique shape and bright color. What's even more valuable is that after so many years, the pot body is not damaged at all, but shows a soft glaze.
The golden carp wok, which is essentially different from ordinary casseroles, is stored for boiling medicine. And the maker of zuò is unique, and the ingenious production of zuò gives it many peculiar functions.
The goldfish with a large mouth on the left and the right is the outlet and inlet of the casserole. The almost sealed body of the pot has seven small circular holes, which are not randomly generated, but are hollowed out and engraved on the body of the pot between the two golden carp according to the arrangement of the Big Dipper.
The reason why the golden carp wok, which is precious and listed as a top-grade utensil in the "Apricot Yellow Artifacts", is that the most critical point is to maintain and add layers to the medicinal properties. Huaxia traditional Chinese medicine not only has strict requirements for diagnosis, but also has corresponding requirements for the boiling and warming of decoction.
In modern times, people are accustomed to using stainless steel and other materials to boil medicine. As a result, some medicinal materials react with aluminum and iron, thus turning good medicines into poisons with toxic side effects, which is also an important aspect of Chinese medicine that many people misunderstand. If you boil it in a casserole, there will be no such situation, and the medicinal properties of the herbs are stable and the heating is relatively uniform.
After holding the golden carp wok and observing it carefully for a long time, Wang Rui gradually believed that the thing in front of him was the thing contained in the "Apricot Yellow Artifacts". In order to verify it, Wang Rui took it out of the "treasure house" and asked Jiazi to take out a basin of water from the kitchen.
And Lei Yujian did what he did to Wang Rui. Looks very curious. The other party took out a nondescript clay pot-like utensil from the shelf and cautiously placed it on the dining table in the living room. This table is a court utensils of the Qing Dynasty that the old witch spent a lot of money to buy back from Qiannan, and there is a faintly engraved dragon-shaped pattern on the wide table.
But Wang Rui has no interest in this table. At this time, he had already put his mind on the golden carp wok on the table. took a large basin of water handed over by Jiazi. Wang Rui carefully immersed the golden carp in it.
There is such a description in the "Apricot Yellow Artifacts": golden carp wok. More than a long ruler, the two carp make a leap shape with each other, and the left mouth is in the medicine. Fluid is discharged from the right mouth. If the wok is submerged in clear water, the vision of the seven stars of the fish play can be seen in the dark room. However, with its cooking medicine, the sex is solid and long-lasting......
Although the text is a little crepe, Wang Rui can still roughly understand the meaning. This golden carp wok, not only has a great effect on the boiling of medicinal materials, but also is a rare collection in itself.
"Lei Lao, please come and take a closer look! Please also ask Brother Jiazi to help turn off the lights in the living room! Wang Rui gently submerged the golden carp wok into the clear water, and then said loudly to Lei Yujian and Jiazi.
Lei Yujian came to his side with a dragon head cane under Wang Rui's beckoning, and when he just stood up, Jiazi turned off all the lights in the living room. By this time, it was already the beginning of the night, and the sky outside was already dark. And after the lights in the hall were turned off by Jiazi, they also fell into darkness in an instant.
No! Not all places are pitch black, but between Wang Rui and Lei Yujian, there is a faint fluorescent movement at this time.
"Ahh Rui, this ...... What's going on? Although Lei Yujian boasted of having rich experience, he was still a little dizzy by the scene he saw in front of him, and couldn't help but ask Wang Rui loudly.
And Jiazi, who was in charge of turning off the lights, came to his side in a few big strides after listening to Old Man Lei's words. However, when he looked at the slightly shining place, he also opened his mouth and was speechless in surprise.
In fact, Wang Rui was also very surprised by the situation in front of him at this time, although there were relevant records in the "Xinghuang Artifacts" in his mind, but after seeing it with his own eyes, his heart was still shocked.
In the basin of clear water brought by Jiazi, the golden carp wok has been completely submerged in it, and the faint fluorescence that Jiazi saw at the beginning is emitted from here. At this time, two carps, which were almost transparent and could only be faintly recognized, were slowly swimming in a staggered manner, swimming in seven shining fluorescent stars.
This is the "Seven Stars of Fish Play" recorded in the "Apricot Yellow Artifacts"? Sure enough, it's the real thing!
Beckoning Jiazi to turn on the light in the living room again, Lei Yujian's eyes when he looked at the golden carp wok, became very different, this was probably because the impact of the vision on him was too great.
Wang Rui simply explained the origin and use of the golden carp wok, and after hearing that this strange clay pot actually had such a miraculous effect, the other party was even more stunned, and after taking it from Wang Rui's hand, he groped.
Looking at Lei Yujian's trembling hands, groping on the golden carp woks from time to time, Wang Rui was really worried that the other party would accidentally drop it on the ground and break it into pieces. It wasn't until Lei Yujian played for a long time that he handed over the golden carp wok to Wang Rui, which also made Wang Rui's heart slowly let go.
Not only did they find all the medicinal materials needed to make the decoction, but they also found high-grade utensils such as the golden carp wok, which made Wang Rui and the others feel very happy.
"Xiao Rui, presumably with the assistance of this 'Golden Carp Wok', the decoction brewed for the old witch head will have a higher effect!" Lei Yujian asked Wang Rui with a smile.
After receiving Wang Rui's affirmative reply, the joy from the bottom of my heart was beyond words. When passing by the entrance of the living room, Lei Yujian pointed to the side and said to Wang Rui: "Hehe...... Xiao Rui, look, that's what I told you, the old witch spent millions to buy back the Overlord Orchid! ”
Millions of orchids, Wang Rui has never seen them, with the idea of not missing them when passing by, Wang Rui can't help but look sideways at them. However, it is precisely because of this look that Wang Rui, who once again took a step, came to a sudden brake.
Yes! Today I can be regarded as an eye-opener, not only to see all kinds of rare treasures collected by Wu Li, but also to let Wang Rui discover the treasure of the apricot forest - the golden carp wok. There is also this orchid in front of him, which Lei Yujian called the Overlord Orchid.
After seeing Wang Rui's eyes attracted by orchids, Lei Yujian only thought that he also admired the uniqueness of this overlord orchid. However, when he saw Wang Rui leaning over to observe and sniff lightly, Lei Yujian couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiao Rui, you also have research on orchids?" ”
After listening to Lei Yujian's question, Wang Rui still did not stop his observation, but while observing, he slowly replied: "I don't have any research on orchids, but I feel that this orchid in front of me is a little strange, and it seems to be a little different from ordinary orchids." ”
"Of course it's different, Overlord Lan! The overlord of orchids, not only the flowers are huge, but also the fragrance produced is also spread far away, which belongs to the best in orchids! The old witch was able to buy it for seven million, and he was all overlooked! Lei Yujian was under the influence of Wu Li, and he was also close to Zhu Zhechi, and he talked even more eloquently to Wang Rui.
Although he doesn't know much about orchids, let alone heard the name of this overlord orchid, Wang Ruike is not ignorant of plants.
Not to mention that in the "Apricot Yellow Artifacts", a large number of Chinese herbal medicines are recorded. Just because he was a child, at the request of his father, who was almost abusive, he was familiar with the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and studied the "Encyclopedia of Plants", which gave Wang Rui his own unique views on the understanding of plants.
The overlord orchid in front of Wang Rui is blooming with large pink flowers, and the fragrance is really refreshing, oozing from the petals from time to time. And Wang Rui directly ignored the fragrance, because he found some weirdness about this orchid grass.
It was supposed to be a smooth, reddish-brown rhizome, but this overlord orchid was obviously not like that. Its rhizomes are covered with sharp spikes, and the whole color is dark, and it looks a little gloomy under the light of the hall.
The abnormality of the overlord orchid made Wang Rui's mind flash, could it be this reason? In order to confirm his conjecture, Wang Rui took out the acupuncture box from his pocket, and then took out a sharp needle from it.
And Lei Yujian, who has been paying attention to Wang Rui, is even more inexplicable in his heart after seeing the other party act like this. However, when he saw Wang Rui take out the sharp needle, intending to use it to cut open the rhizome of the overlord orchid, he couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
"Ahh Rui, what are you doing? This bluegrass was bought by the old witch with great effort, and its value is not ordinary! ”
Although Lei Yujian's voice was very high-pitched, Wang Rui didn't pay attention to his exclamation, but continued to use his calm hand to gently slash the sharpest rhizome of the overlord orchid with a sharp needle.
"Ahh How could it be like this? Lei Yujian was surprised again, the scene in front of him not only made his heart tremble, but also made the Jiazi beside him feel creepy.
The thick rhizome was pulled by a sharp needle with a long opening, and through this cut face, everyone could clearly see the inside of the rhizome. It was precisely because he saw it clearly that it attracted Lei Yujian's exclamation.
The dense reddish-brown round concave holes are neatly arranged, and the entire cut rhizome is full of this appearance, like a sponge-like interior, which looks extremely strange. If the person present has a "dense phobia", the scalp will be numb and the whole body will be cold. Although Lei Yujian and Jiazi were not very clear about the attributes and characteristics of the orchid grass, the rhizome of the overlord orchid in front of them was obviously not normal.
And so it was! Lei Lao, I think I have found the cause of Wu Lao's illness! Wang Rui still said indifferently, but his tone was extremely firm. (To be continued......)
