After saying goodbye to Zuo Shan, who was grateful, Chu Chen drove to his shop.

"Hello Boss Chu!"

"Boss, you're back......"

As soon as Chu Chen walked to the door, someone greeted him with a smile. This time, it has been a month since I went to Myanmar and came back yesterday, and when I returned to my store again, Chu Chen felt extremely cordial when he listened to these greetings.

Chu Chen smiled and greeted the clerk and customers, and handed over a package of gifts brought back from Europe to the employees, asking him to send them to everyone when he got off work.

Although these gifts are just knick-knacks and don't have much value in themselves, the staff at the store are very happy when they hear about such good things. This is exactly what Chu Chen wants to achieve, it doesn't cost much, and it makes employees feel that the boss has been thinking about them, so why not?

Next, Zhou Wenping took the notebook and reported to him in Chu Chen's office about the affairs and income and expenditure of the store this month. In the end, he also handed over what Xie Gong wrote to Chu Chen for decision.

Chu Chen put down the list in his hand and said, "Just buy it according to what Xie Lao wrote!" ”

"Okay, I'll go get ready!" Zhou Wenping nodded: "Then when are you going to let Xie Lao come?" ”

"Let's listen to him on this matter!" Chu Chen replied.

"If he thinks according to his idea, I guess I want to come to work tomorrow." Zhou Wenping said with a smile.

"Yes, he can come if he wants, I have no opinion!" Chu Chen said with a smile.

"Then I'll let him know when I've bought something."

"Hmm!" Chu Chen nodded: "Brother Zhou, I've worked hard for you this month!" ”

"What's so hard about this. Compared to our stall picking, the work is not too easy now! ”

Speaking of which, in the end. Zhou Wenping looked a little emotional, thinking about the past. For the sake of livelihood, it is very normal to get up early and be greedy for darkness one day, and it is a very normal thing to come and go in the wind and rain, and if it weren't for Chu Chen, he should still be living this kind of life now, which also made him more determined, and he would repay Chu Chen's determination with a better job in the future.

Listening to Zhou Wenping talk about picking stalls, Chu Chen was also very emotional, if it was a year ago. He would never have thought that he had changed so much, and even now, he sometimes wondered if he was daydreaming, for fear that the dream would suddenly wake up.

"The world is so wonderful!" Chu Chen sighed secretly.

After dealing with all the affairs in the store, Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping walked out of the office together, and when he walked upstairs just now, he saw Yuan Hongjian coming in with a box, which made him immediately think of what Uncle Wu told him before, and now he wants to see it. What exactly is the thing that Yuan Hongjian is building.

When Chu Chen walked to the reception room, he heard Yuan Hongjian dancing and talking to Uncle Wu.

"Elder, what did you hear about today, so happy?"

After a period of contact. Chu Chen knew that Yuan Hongjian also had a very gossipy heart, as long as there was any strange thing. Or some things in the market, he likes to inquire clearly.

And every time it comes. Yuan Hongjian will tell the people in the store about these things, plus he has a good mouth. These things, Leng told him the effect of commenting on the book. Sometimes Uncle Wu joked with him, not to talk about storytelling at this level, it was really a heavy loss for the majority of audiences.

"Xiao Chu, I didn't hear about this today, this is my personal experience!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Hongjian slapped his thigh, and his face had an expression of regret.

"Ahh What's going on? Chu Chen hurriedly asked.

"Hey......"

Yuan Hongjian sighed, and then told the story of the incident.

After listening to the cause and effect of the incident, Chu Chen was also very speechless, what do you say? It turned out that Yuan Hongjian said so painfully, it was just that he missed a Kangxi Tongbao, although the plate style of this Kangxi Tongbao is relatively special, but it is only a few hundred yuan.

Don't talk about a few hundred yuan, after all, it is not a small amount of money for ordinary Tibetan friends, but the price given by the vendor of this Kangxi Tongbao is less than 100 yuan different from the real value. Just for this money, Yuan Hongjian is so exaggerated, Chu Chen can not be speechless.

"Hey! Do you think that for this money, there is no need for this, if it is usual, even if I lose a hundred yuan, I will not feel distressed, but you think about it, I am just a second late, and the thing was taken by someone else first, you say that I am depressed or not depressed......"

"Alright, alright! I know you're depressed! But Xiao Chen has a lot of things, you better bring what you brought and let Xiao Chen take a look! ”

Knowing that if it went on like this, Yuan Hongjian estimated that he would have to nag endlessly, and Uncle Wu hurriedly interrupted his words.

"Yes, yes, yes! I almost forgot to get down to business! Yuan Hongjian's face was stunned, and then he hurriedly took out the contents of the box, which turned out to be a plate that looked like alum red glaze

Alum red glaze is one of the red glazes, which belongs to low-temperature glaze, using alum as raw material, calcined and rinsed to make alum red, so it is called alum red glaze. The main colorant is iron oxide, also known as iron red, which tends to have an orange-like red color. The firing method is to glaze on the fired white tire, and then enter the kiln for the second time to fire at about 900 degrees.

Alum red glaze began to develop greatly in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, due to the exhaustion of Macang soil and the decline of the technology of firing copper red glaze during the Jiajing period. The color of alum red glaze is not as pure and bright as copper red glaze, but its color is stable and easy to fire. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was widely used as a red color material, and the porcelain kiln mostly used alum red to match with a variety of colors to depict various decorations such as dragons and phoenixes, flowers, etc., and the painting was fine.

This plate built by Yuan Hongjian looks like a very fine carving, and the pattern on it is also very eloquent, which is one of the eight views of Yanjing, "Clear Snow in the West Mountain".

"Eight Views of Yanjing", also known as "Eight Views of Yanshan" or "Eight Views of Yantai", etc., was named after the Ming and Chang periods of the Jin Dynasty, and later generations of literati wrote poems one after another, so they became famous. In the Ming Dynasty, Li Dongyang added "Autumn Wind in the South" and "Rain in the Eastern Suburbs" in addition to the eight scenes, and gave the poem "Ten Scenes", so there is also the saying of "Ten Views of Yanjing".

Xishan refers to the general term of the continuous mountains in the western suburbs of the capital, and the snow scene also refers to this area. Xiangshan is a typical mountain peak in this area, so Qianlong put the "West Mountain Clear Snow" monument on the mountainside of Xiangshan.

The scenery of Xishan is beautiful, since the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, it has become a place where the temples gather, and the famous Xishan Eight Courtyards in the Jin Dynasty are the gardens that were opened up in the Jin Dynasty. "Nishiyama Snow" is a famous landscape after the snow in Nishiyama.

According to history, as early as more than 800 years ago, Jin Shizong had built the Great Yong'an Temple in the Xiangshan area, and also built the palace. Later, his grandson, Zhang Zongwanyan Jing, who directly inherited his throne, successively built a star sacrifice platform, a view tower and other buildings in this place, saying that this is the snow-covered scenic spot of Zhang Zongding's West Mountain, which seems to be beyond reproach.

It is conceivable that whenever the snow is sunny at the beginning of the day, from here with the lofty and far away, but see the mountains and jade columns, the peaks and mountains are Qionglian, the rising sun shines, a group of red clothes are wrapped, and they are extremely magnificent, it should be said that "clear snow" is more poetic than "snow".

In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, there were literati who wrote countless poems here, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was once changed from the clear snow of the West Mountain to the Ji Snow of the West Mountain.

In the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong began to build in Xiangshan in the tenth year, and in the twelfth year of Qianlong, it was renamed Jingyi Garden. The park not only has many famous ancient temples and cultural landscapes in history, but also has a deep and quiet mountain forest and wilderness, maintaining a rich natural ecological environment.

After Qianlong came to Jingyi Garden to see it, he wrote the poem "Clear Snow in the West Mountain", changing "Ji Snow in the West Mountain" to "Clear Snow in the West Mountain". And engrave the poem on the tablet of "West Mountain Clear Snow", stand in the north of the half-mountain pavilion on the mountainside of Xiangshan, on the right side of the hiking road of Chaoyang Cave.

It's just a pity that Chu Chen feels that the snow scene in Xiangshan is very beautiful, but now, snowfall in the capital is not very common, and beautiful snow scenes are even rarer, not to mention that it is not easy for foreign guests to appreciate, even the citizens are rare to see.

As a result, by now, the reputation of "Clear Snow in the West Mountain", which had been praised by many literati and scholars, has gradually faded. The beautiful scenery of Xiangshan has been replaced by the red leaves of Xiangshan. In autumn, the red color of Danhuang vermilion is dazzling, and the red leaves of the cogscarus are dyed in the forest, which becomes a good place to visit and watch.

This made Chu Chen sigh, but also remembered an idiom "time passes".

Chu Chen looked at the plate carefully, and immediately knew that this plate should be a fake, but the material of the plate seemed to be a little strange, it looked like porcelain, but it didn't feel like porcelain, it felt very strange.

"Patriarch, I don't know what the mystery of this plate is?"

Wu Hongjian said with an expression that was not shocking and endless: "This plate will change color!" ”

"Discoloration?" Hearing such an answer, Chu Chen couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes, it just changes color!" Yuan Hongjian swore and said.

It turned out that a few days ago, Yuan Hong Jiantao got this plate, because he felt that the carving was very fine, and the pattern was very talkative, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, although it was a little dirty just bought back, but it was okay to wash it.

But it doesn't matter if you wash it, something strange happened, the plate that was originally red immediately turned green after being stained with water! This surprised Yuan Hongjian, and at the same time, he couldn't help but guess, could it be that this plate has faded? But that's not possible, and if the plate really fades, it can't change from red to green!

And what made Yuan Hongjian even more surprised was that when the plate was dried, it turned back to its original red! What's going on here?

Yuan Hongjian pondered for a while, and couldn't think of a reason for a while, but when he saw a few stones in the flower pot, his mind flashed, and he suddenly thought of something he had heard about, some plates were carved from color-changing stones, which would change color and be very precious.

In order to confirm his guess, Yuan Hongjian also specially tested it on the plate with a red-hot iron needle, and sure enough, after scalding, the plate was not damaged at all, and even the smoke did not rise. This made Yuan Hongjian very happy, could it be that this plate was really carved from color-changing stone? (To be continued......)
