Chapter 120: Meow
Historically, the Chinese dynasty itself was a professional dog breeder. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, these dogs have either been killed or rebelled against their owners. As a big country, China must have the demeanor of a great power, and in the face of the dogs' rebellion, it must find problems from itself, rather than being entangled in comparing with the defective dogs.
Historically, China raised dogs through a thin tributary system, and looking at the experience of the United States after World War II, it was through the dispersion of some non-key industries to these small countries, and everyone engaged in industrialization to make a fortune together to raise dogs -- although the two have similarities, relatively speaking, the United States' means are much higher than those of the Central Plains Dynasty, after all, it is also the industrial age, and the society has progressed.
At the same time, the salesman shouted in his mouth: "This master, do you want to take a look at the jade seal of this number." ”
Song Haiping saw that the salesman was so professional, and promised: "Okay, then go and take a look." ”
Jinshi Jinshi, jade is naturally also a kind of collection, whether it is the jade that human ancestors have been wearing since thousands of years ago or there are now jadeite, Tianhuang, bloodstone and so on that have led the trend of jade. They are all the favorites of the Chinese.
Relatively vulgar foreigners only know gold, silver and gemstones in their eyes (diamonds are also a kind of gemstones, which can only be used for setting, but cannot be made into works of art). The inheritance of jade culture in China for thousands of years is called art, like the later abstract art in Europe and the United States, even Picasso did not know what these people painted anymore, in fact, it is actually a manifestation of the weakness of the European and American people in the cultural and artistic development of culture and art.
It's not enough to just make up an ancient Greek civilization with no cultural relics, to tell the truth, the ancestors of Europeans actually didn't have a few days, but now that the future generations are developed, there is no way to give the ancestors something that they didn't have at all back then. In other words, this was not invented by Europe and the United States, and the Li Tang Dynasty also recognized Laozi Li Er as an ancestor, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in rice, also made his ancestors emperors after becoming emperors.
As for abstract art or something, everyone doesn't understand it anyway, and you can launder it anyway. Abstract art is really in response to what the Chinese ancestors said: If you say you can do it, you can do it, and if you say you can't do it, you can't do it.
Entering a shop called Cui Yu Xuan, this salesman, who later learned that it was Cui Yu Xuan's third shopkeeper who had been leading the way with his side in front - in Chinese etiquette, it is very unkind to give the other party a back directly, of course, the superior can do this to the subordinate, and there is no problem between the levels.
Although Chinese businessmen did not say that the customer is God in this era, they were not inferior to foreigners in this regard.
The shopkeeper in Cuiyuxuan saw that a ticket came in, and knew that there was a big customer, making tea, pouring water - although people may not drink it, but this gesture must be done, and the Taishi chair, which was already reflective, was wiped three times in front of the stool with a clean white towel before inviting Song Haiping to sit down.
After sitting down, the three shopkeepers asked, "What do the guests want to see, strange stones, seals, jade carvings, ornaments, ......?"
Song Haiping groaned: "Look at the seal." ”
Different from the rubber seals of Yishui in later generations, the official seals at this time were generally copper, and the private seals, the gold ones were a little cheesy, and they were generally made of various fine jades, with Tianhuang seals and bloodstone seals being the most famous. Of course, the price of this good jade is better than gold, and since ancient times, there has been a saying that one or two fields of yellow and three taels of gold.
The third shopkeeper thought for a while, and said to the big shopkeeper: "It's better to take out the big red robe on the frozen ground." ”
The big shopkeeper nodded yes.
A sandalwood box was taken out by the big shopkeeper and placed on the table, Song Haiping opened the box, only to see that the big red robe inside was an inch and four inches long, and the seal was red and translucent, and it was bewitching.
The third shopkeeper explained: "The blood color on this big red robe accounts for more than eighty percent of the entire seal, and what is even more rare is that its blood color is also a fine product in the frozen chicken blood." This is the treasure of the store, and it is not sold by non-nobles. ”
This is true, according to Song Haiping's understanding, such a bloodstone seal can only be won for hundreds of taels or thousands of taels of silver at every turn in this era. You don't have to be a nobleman to buy it. As for how these three shopkeepers judge the nobles, this is not simple, Song Haiping is equipped with a gold belt weighing a few catties outside, and he is almost horizontal when he goes out and walks, this is not a nobleman, what else is a nobleman.
Song Haiping took the frozen red robe in his hand and played with it, and shouted: "Okay." ”
The dog leg behind Song Haiping also said: "Our father bought this thing." ”
The second shopkeeper of Cui Yuxuan was stunned first, and subconsciously said, "Master, you haven't asked the price yet?" ”
The dog leg behind Song Haiping said: "As long as our master wants to buy it, then there is nothing that he can't afford to buy." And what else is good, just take it. ”
The shopkeepers of Cuiyuxuan said in their hearts: Today it is the turn of the big dog to come to the door.
The jade business is similar to antiques, they are all about not opening for half a year, and eating for half a year. Ordinary people can't afford to buy this thing, and the people who can really consume it are the rich and noble gentry class, that is, the vassal and elegant dogs.
Since it was not easy for a big dog to come, it was not polite, and the big shopkeeper said: "Please come out of that Pixiu Tian Yellow Seal." ”
Take out this Pixiu Tian Yellow Seal, Song Haiping also saw a little doorway, this four-inch square seal on the Pixiu only a small number of carved traces, most of the Pixiu's body and head are naturally formed, this carved craftsman is also ingenious, only a few knives to make the Pixiu on the Tian Huangshi into shape.
Pixiu is also a rui beast in ancient Chinese legends, the main fortune and marriage, can also be used to town house. And Pixiu itself was also extended to the army in ancient times. This expedition to the Lianghe River Basin, Song Haiping was missing a good generalissimo seal, and it was really sent to the door at this time.
After appreciating this piece of Pixiutian Yellow Seal, Song Haiping shouted again: "Okay." Good stuff. ”
Behind him, the dog leg shouted: "Bought it." ”
Then the three shopkeepers of Cui Yuxuan took turns to bring up all kinds of jade, including jade pendants, jade jue, jade buckles, and jade cicadas. The whole made Song Haiping take a Chinese jade culture course. Seeing that the jade was of good quality, Song Haiping was responsible for shouting good, and naturally someone helped Song Haiping take it. I also bought a palm-sized white jade cat.
Back at his home in Sijiu City, in addition to the two jade seals, Song Haiping had already made a plan on the road and gave them away. People raise jade and jade raise people, and Song Haiping can't play so much jade alone. For the time being, there are two jade seals in hand, and that's it.
It was the jade cat that gave the house-filling maid Li Wanji. According to Song Haiping's observations, this Li Wanji likes to feed cats.
Li Wanji got the jade cat and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful." ”
After playing with it, Li Wanji hid the jade cat on her chest and said to Song Haiping: "My lord, let's go with me to see the real cat." ”
Song Haiping: "Okay." ”
The two came to the back kitchen, and several big cats were playing with more than a dozen kittens that had not been weaned.
Song Haiping saw more than a dozen cats playing with each other in the yard, some chasing me and I chasing you, some practicing climbing trees, some grinding their claws, and some chasing tails: "So many? ”
Li Wanji: "Maybe it's good food at home, but there are far fewer cats in North Korea." ”
"You watch." Li Wanji pretended to go forward to catch a cat, but the cat turned around and ran away, looking at Li Wanji with disdain from a few meters away. Song Haiping asked, "Aren't you feeding the cat, why don't you let you hug it." ”
Li Wanji: "It's not completely untouchable, except for eating, you can't usually touch it at all." ”
Li Wanji went to the kitchen to get meat and vegetable soup to make rice, put it on the ground and shouted, "It's time to eat." ”
Hearing the sound, regardless of the size of the cat, they came up together to surround the sea bowl with food on the ground and compete for food, and the frolicking side of the warm family just now was gone in a blink of an eye. It was at this time that Li Wanji was able to take the opportunity to touch the big cats and kittens, and at this time, the meow sauces were grabbing the position so badly that no one had time to pay attention to Li Wanji, the owner.
Song Haiping couldn't help but think that the cats in later generations laughed at themselves as cat slaves, and then again, these cats that were fed by people were indeed much happier than people in a sense, and the lyrics were sung: No food, no drink, and their own cat slaves were sent forward.
Li Wanji smiled and said, "You see that these cats are carefree all day long, no wonder people say that they have to practice the ninth life to be reincarnated as a cat." ”
