Chapter 340: Old Things (2)
The boss wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, is about fifty years old, and looks elegant.
Xu Danling glanced at the store with a smile, and was full of badges, albums, quotations, anthologies, poetry collections, and flying hairs everywhere. Dare to love is still a senior hair fan!
"It's all ordinary goods." He shook his head, "Is there anything special?" ”
The boss laughed: "It's not special, it all depends on people's hearts." ”
There is a kind of meaning to this.
He pointed to the scroll displayed in a single glass case, "This is the chairman's poem that my father copied by hand. In my opinion, it is the most special and precious thing. ”
The style of the scroll, the dark yellow silk paper, the strong and powerful strokes, the wanton vertical and horizontal momentum, the boss's father's hair body is copied beautifully! Whether it is typesetting, framing, or painting, it is a superb calligraphy work!
Xu Danling's eyes were slightly condensed! After complimenting him, he asked, "Can you let us get started?" ”
The boss opened the glass case: "This paper is very thick. I'm afraid it's brittle after a long time, so be careful. ”
Xu Danling touched the paper, and the first feeling was really thick. Thick that doesn't match the paper itself!
He got goosebumps all over his body: "Your father only copied one volume of poems? ”
"Seven volumes in total." The boss pushed his glasses.
Seven volumes!
"Where are the other volumes?" Master Xu became excited, "Can you let us appreciate it?" ”
The boss shook his head apologetically: "I'm sorry, this is my father's relic, not for sale!"
"We can come up with a good price." Qin Ling smiled and said, "I like it very much. ”
The boss was a little embarrassed and a little sad: "My father ...... I only left this set of words for me......"
"We understand." Qin Ling opened the mobile payment page, "If the seven volumes are all here, is 500,000 enough?" ”
The boss was surprised: 500,000?!
He hesitated, but still shook his head: "I'm not short of money. ”
Not short of money?
It's a bit of a hassle.
The boss couldn't help but be curious: "Excuse me, what is the use of you after you buy it back?" ”
"Collection." Qin Ling smiled and handed him a business card, "I have a personal museum in Suzhou. I also have a lot of respect for great people. So I want to set up a memorial for him. Your father's words, and this heart, are enough to show the respect of the world for the leader! ”
"The Qin family's Tianyi Pavilion?!" The owner was shocked! What a glory it is to make Tianyi Pavilion fancy the works collected!
"Sell!"
It was from these seven scrolls that Xu Danling pulled out seven volumes of the magnetic blue paper scripture "Myoho-renge-kyo"!
In order to protect the scriptures from being burned by the Red Guards, the master took great pains to frame the scroll into the poems of the great man written by himself. No one would dare to attack these seven volumes of poetry!
Xu Danling is good at framing, and he is familiar with all kinds of paper. As soon as you get started, you will find that there is something inside. It's just that I never thought that there was nowhere to find it when I stepped on the iron shoes, and it didn't take much effort to get it!
As for how the original owner found the scriptures, there are also explanations. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Taoist, who guarded the Dunhuang Grottoes, accidentally discovered the Tibetan scripture cave. He ran around calling for it, risking his life and traveling long distances to bring the scriptures to the government, hoping that the imperial court would pay attention to it and draw funds to protect it. Who knew that after several turmoils, what finally ushered in was the plundering of the Western countries. These seven volumes of the Myoho-renge-kyo are precious cultural relics that were carefully protected by people with lofty ideals at that time.
Bai Tang sighed slightly, and his heart was full of doubts: the Tibetan scripture cave in Dunhuang was in turmoil at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty and the end of the Song Dynasty, and the local monks sealed all the scriptures and portraits in the cave in order to protect the Buddhist treasures, and it took 800 years to make people discover! It stands to reason that the cave should still be sealed at this time, so where did this set of "Myoho-renge-kyo" come from?
Could it be that the cave has been discovered?
Or is there a different set of Myoho-renge-kyo in the world?
Bai Tang felt that he must meet this class wisdom master for a while.
In the evening of that day, when Qiu An took him home, he brought him a message with a gloomy face: "Cheng Xuehan had a miscarriage." ”
Bai Tang was stunned: "How come?" ”
"It was cold and the road above the house was frozen. Xue Han slipped unintentionally—"
Bai Tangqi said: "The subordinates in the British Mansion would make such a mistake? Besides, where there is ice, there is water, where is the water? ”
"This—" Joan actually smiled, "that's a coincidence. Hasn't it been cold lately? There are many forests in the British mansion, and there are a few wild cats that often roam in the mansion recently. Mrs. Wang was afraid that the wild cat would hurt her daughter-in-law, so she rushed back to see it. But they drove away during the day, and they came back at night. The frozen pool of water, the house has checked, and it is actually cat urine. ”
This is really—what a disaster!
Bai Tang hurriedly asked, "Where are the people?" People are fine, right? ”
"I passed on the imperial doctor in the palace for treatment, saying that it was fortunate that the child was still young and had to be raised for two years."
After Qiu An finished speaking, he was silent for a while.
Bai Tang couldn't help but ask again: "What about Zhang Bozhong?" ”
"It's so sad that I can't do it. I saw that he was depressed and devastated, and accompanied Xue Han every inch. Sighing, Qiu An smiled bitterly and fixed his eyes on Bai Tang's lower abdomen, "Raising a child is so difficult!" ”
Isn't?
In ancient times, raising a child was a life of nine deaths, and if you meet a bad husband again, it is almost a dead end!
Although Qiu An was suspicious of Xuehan's miscarriage, since this incident, Zhang Bozhong has cared for his wife and is extremely compassionate, and there is no abnormality in the slightest. The relationship between husband and wife is so good that Mrs. Wang feels very gratified: as long as the relationship between the two is good, there will always be children, not bad for one or two years!
Qiu An's suspicions finally faded without a trace. Zhang Bozhong will not attack his children unless he is crazy!
Soon it will be the end of the year, and it is the time for each merchant to stretch out their hands and make a lot of money. Shops in the city have launched new and unusual New Year's goods. Because of the emergence of color plate brushes, major bookstores are full of color printing publications! Of course, quality is inevitably uneven. Songzhu Zhai is faintly the leader of the engraving industry, the Persian group of paintings came out, there are many followers, to the year before, who did not have two Persian painting works are embarrassed to open for business.
Just in time for the year, Qin Wu finished preparing upstairs in the capital. After that, it is time to recruit and train the back-up kitchen workers. As a senior dim sum chef, Bai Lan naturally took on the responsibility of teaching, and also researched several new dim sum dishes with Bai Tang as the specialties of the Beijing branch.
Bai Tang thought about the large and small temples in the capital, and opened up another category of vegetarian dim sum: wild mushroom xiaolongbao, vegetarian fragrant lotus root cake, vegetarian stuffed shiitake mushroom, chrysanthemum pear tea, almond tofu, berry mille-feuille crisp, coconut milk cake, etc., a variety of menus are listed on most of the pages.
Qin Wu understood that this menu was specially prepared for good men and women and monks, and she couldn't help but secretly praise Bai Tang for being careful. Monks usually don't eat outside for fear of getting caught in the meat. There are no vegetarian restaurants in the market, and now there are more and more people worshipping the Buddha, and ordinary people can only go to the temple to taste vegetarian food if they want to eat vegetarian food. It has allowed the temple to get more inputs, but the food in the temple is mostly somen noodles, vegetarian chicken, vegetarian abalone, vegetarian vegetables, steamed buns, pumpkin cakes, and less dim sum, how can it be comparable to the exquisite and novel dim sum upstairs?
And those young ladies who are greedy for food and afraid of obesity also love these vegetarian food!
Qin Wu couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her decision to give Bai Tang's brothers and sisters two percent of the shares.
It's just, it's a pity! had such a good start, but Ah Jian failed to go to the end with Bai Tang.
"Sister-in-law?" Bai Tang pushed a piece of Bailan's newly made matcha cheese to her, "But there is a problem with these dishes?" ”
"Nope." Qin Wu was in a trance, looking at Bai Tang's handsome face and suppressing the regret in her heart. A selfish thought came to me: What if he was really a man?
"I'm thinking about so many new dim sum, can I make them in Nanjing first?"
"Not impossible." Bai Tang swallowed a small piece of crisp cheese and asked very naturally, "What is Ah Jian busy with in Suzhou now?" ”
Qin Wu couldn't help but pause, and smiled slightly: "He-he's really busy." Seeing Bai Tang's stunned expression, he hurriedly comforted him: "When I saw his letter a few days ago, my mood was much clearer. ”
Bai Tang smiled reluctantly.
There was one thing, Qin Wu didn't dare to say it to Bai Tang. Ah Jian returned to Suzhou by water. He was so worried that he fell from the bow of the boat into the lake, and after he was rescued from a minor illness, his father wrote that after he recovered from his illness, he buried himself in the family business, and was more resolute and capable than before.
It is not a good thing to turn a blow into an encouragement.
