Chapter 112
Cheng Yubai sent people to the station all the way, and the boss was unhappy, putting on a stinky face, not looking at Xu Qing during the whole process, and only talking to Xu Zhiliu when she needed her to pass the word on her behalf.
Due to the difficulty of communication, Cheng Yubai didn't speak much, and talked a few words casually, mostly related to ancient porcelain. He said that he had met a scammer who claimed to have a lost recipe for Ru kiln and asked him to go to Beijing to meet him. He was so heavy at the time that he couldn't leave at all, but he still ran for the formula, and almost ended up in a pyramid scheme.
Xu Zhiliu heard his off-string sound, and wrote a few ancient recipes to him when he came back.
Cheng Yubai was happy, forgave Xu Qing by the way, hugged her face and kissed her twice before getting out of the car, and took out two insulated boxes from the trunk.
"You were in too much of a hurry, so you ordered a few dishes and dealt with them casually on the way."
Xu Qing took the insulated box, and his hands were heavy. I didn't expect him to have a considerate side, and calculated that she didn't have time to eat lunch, so she specially prepared, and her heart was warm, and she scratched his palm like a kitten: "I'll be back tomorrow." ”
"Well, let's go."
"You go back and drive slower, stay safe."
Cheng Yubai grinned and said he knew. remembered that the fat man had an accident last time, he rushed to the airport to stop her, how complicated his mood was at that time, how afraid that she would escape again, and he would never see her again in this life.
What a pity.
Thinking about it, a sound of footsteps approached, and he ran back, and he opened his arms to hug her.
"I'm not going to go any further."
"yes, got it." Cheng Yubai touched the top of her hair, "I'll pick you up tomorrow." ”
"Okay."
The two reluctantly separated, and Xu Zhiliu had been watching from a short distance, with a slight envy in his eyebrows. After checking in and entering the station, Xu Qing saw that there was still a surplus of time, and hurriedly went to the convenience store in the station to buy a few boxes of special products.
After getting in the car, she and Xu Zhiliu went to the dining car to eat.
As soon as the box opened, both of them were stunned.
Roasted elbow with sauce, eight treasure duck, donkey rolling, Aiwowo, and popping sheep's head are all authentic Jingdezhen flavors in the Qing Dynasty. In order to make Xu Zhiliu happy, Xu Qing ran all over the streets and alleys, but he didn't find such a complete variety. She called Cheng Yubai in the morning, and it was only two hours before and after she went out, presumably he had been preparing for today's dinner for a long time.
Xu Zhiliu ironed in his heart, chuckled and said, "He has worked hard, thank him for me." ”
"Okay, then you can taste it."
Xu Zhiliu sandwiched a piece of sauce and roasted elbow.
Xu Qing asked, "Is it delicious?" ”
"Delicious, the same taste I've had before."
He sandwiched another piece of eight-treasure duck.
It actually tasted exactly the same as the one Xiao Liang had taken him to eat.
Xu Zhiliu forcibly endured the heat in his eyes and said, "It's really delicious." ”
"Then you can eat more, and if you want to eat in the future, you can eat at any time."
"Good. Can I eat them all? ”
"Absolutely."
"And what do you eat?"
Xu Qing immediately reached out and ordered a set meal.
Xu Zhiliu gained knowledge again, and it turned out that lunch was provided on the train. But compared to his, hers must not be too tasty. But let him be greedy again.
When Xu Qing opened the bag to find the tissue paper, she found that there were many things in it, Xu Zhiliu came over to look at it with her, it was a box of tea. A copper box, the outer packaging is very simple, and the inside is also an ordinary plastic bag, with the word "internal supply" written on it.
She was wondering where she came from, when Cheng Yubai sent a message asking her to give the tea to Yuan Xing. She asked Cheng Yubai how he knew Yuan Xing, but Cheng Yubai didn't explain.
Yuan Xing was dumbfounded for a long time before he said, "I've been looking for this box of tea for three years." ”
Xu Qing was even more shocked.
"What kind of tea is it?"
"You don't know?"
“…… It was prepared for me by my friend. ”
Yuan Xing smiled: "It seems that this friend of yours is very attentive to you." Tea varieties are not very rare, but they are planted by hundreds of years old trees, the amount is very scarce, and it is difficult to find, my father has been seriously ill for many years, and he has always missed this tea fragrance. ”
He weighed the weight of the copper box and said to Xu Qing, "I can't refuse the value of this gift." ”
When the two talked about working together, they certainly hit it off. After returning to the hotel, Xu Qing hurriedly asked Cheng Yu how much white tea was. Cheng Yubai refused to say, and asked her to bring back the two boxes of gifts she bought at the station, not to waste them.
Xu Qing froze, turned over and asked, "Where did you order those dishes in the lunch box?" ”
"Does he like it?"
"I like it."
"If you like it, it's fine." Cheng Yubai leaned on the pavilion, and as far as the eye could see, there was a dark river, "I asked, your suite is locked, remember to lock the door when you sleep at night." ”
Although these two people are one person and one ghost, they have slept upstairs and downstairs for so long, but Cheng Yubai still minds, and when booking the hotel, he specially asked if there was a lock, and he must ensure Xu Qing's innocence.
Xu Qing felt funny and whispered, "It's impossible for us, don't think about it so much." ”
Cheng Yubai hummed as usual.
"One white."
"Huh?"
Xu Qing found that every time she called him like this, he was lazy and looked like a smooth hair.
"One white."
"Listen."
"One white."
"You can take a taxi back now, it gives me a headache."
"Crazy? More than 500 kilometers. ”
"You don't miss me?"
Cheng Yubai spat on the wind.
"One white."
"Yes."
"You're so nice."
Cheng Yubai smiled.
Later, Xu Qing went to ask Yuan Xing, Yuan Xing denounced her for being indifferent to the agent, he had a story about his father and tea on his homepage, and it was not difficult to find that it was difficult to find that he had the ability to buy this kind of tea, and he was not ambiguous at all.
"I don't expect to repay you, this friend is very dead to you." Yuan Xing pointed her the way, "I'm sure I haven't had any contact with him in private, and as for tea, I only posted on the unicorn forum to ask netizens to help find it." ”
Xu Qing flipped through her forum homepage again, and stumbled upon a fan from five years ago, who began to follow her three months after she registered her account, and has been unknown for five years, never liking and commenting, but she is the person who views her homepage the most times in the trace.
In five years, more than 2,800 times.
That is, at least once a day, he would go to the forum to see her. The social circle related to her also has his footprints.
Xu Qing clicked into the other party's avatar, which was a snow scene. The background is blurry, and the location is not visible. When she first jumped into the celebrity list two years ago, he posted the only news that was only two words - congratulations.
That congratulations was insignificant, drowning in the countless congratulations at the time.
My wife originally said that it depends on whether one person is good to another person, and you can't just look at it for a day or two in front of you.
At that time, she was sure that he didn't like her, she didn't take a good look at him, he was always bad in terms of character, and it was not her turn to be affectionate.
I didn't understand things before, but now I look back, year after year, for a long time, there are people who prefer them every day.
After a long time, she talked about this with her wife, and her mother blamed her for being too slow, and said in a proud tone: "Where is Yibai to take a closer look? He's just the best kid. ”
My wife is too eccentric, and her speech is watery. The master understood when she looked at her eyes, and reasoned: "Otherwise, the teacher and I wouldn't have loved him and you for so many years, right?" ”
Yes, yes, you are right.
The master smiled and said to her again: "Qing, Yibai loves you very much." You didn't see how many girls were revolving around him in your experimental class at the beginning? He can't even call all his names, and there are only a few friends around him who come and go, you are the most special in it, and everyone treats you well. ”
"Think about it, why are you special?"
Xu Qing slept well this night, and Xu Zhiliu praised her for her good looks. She looked in the mirror and smiled, "Is there one?" ”
"There is a lover who is full of water, you didn't take sleeping pills last night, did you?"
"Hmm."
Xu Zhiliu was noncommittal.
At noon, Xu Qing made an appointment with his former friends for dinner, and in the afternoon he was ready to return to Jingdezhen. Yuan Xing contacted her and said that she had a suitable project in hand, and if she was not in a hurry, it would be best to go with him to meet Party A.
She thought about it and refused: "I'm going back to Luo Wenwen tomorrow." ”
"How?"
"I don't know about the temporary notice of personnel."
"Okay, I won't keep you any longer, but you have to be prepared, you may have to run around a lot in the future, and you need to adjust your working hours."
"Okay."
When she returned to Jingdezhen, it was already dark, Cheng Yubai picked her and Xu Zhiliu, didn't return a scoop of drink, and went straight into a small courtyard. The small courtyard is in the deep alley of the downtown area, with a circle of fence flower beds, the ground is paved with pebbles, and the mezzanine road is planted with different pink and orange moon seasons.
It's a bit like a private restaurant, but it's not quite like it, because it's very secluded, and there is no one, only a middle-aged couple busy in the kitchen.
Seeing that they had arrived, the couple set up a small table on the terrace and brought the dishes one by one.
Cheng Yubai thanked them, and the middle-aged woman patted him on the arm affectionately: "What's polite to your aunt, you can eat, if there is anything to call me, I and your uncle will go to the back first." ”
"Okay."
Cheng Yubai pointed to a small street outside the end of the alley and said, "Their shop is there, and they have to go over to greet customers." ”
Xu Qing saw the dishes on the table and understood: "They made those dishes in the lunch box?" ”
"Well, my aunt is a very good cook, she stayed at the state banquet in her early years, and later she disliked the chef's lack of fine cooking, so she went home to study it and slowly practiced her skills."
Cheng Yubai turned on the string of lights on the vine trellis, and the garden was full of glory for a while. He rubbed open the chopsticks, handed them to Xu Qing, and gave Xu Zhiliu an extra pair, and asked, "Is the food last time appetizing?" ”
Xu Zhiliu said very well, and Xu Qing conveyed it for him, "He likes it very much." ”
"Come back often."
Xu Zhiliu teased Xu Qing: "Touch your light." ”
Xu Qing leaned at him: "No, I'm touching your light." ”
She always wants to prove to him that he is also a good friend of Cheng Yubai. Cheng Yubai was really embarrassed and nostalgic, so he asked his aunt to prepare those, and seeing that they didn't stop, he said with a smile: "Don't push around, I'll touch your light, okay?" ”
He opened a bottle of wine, a few people talked on the moonlit night, Xu Qing made a microphone, and listened to them talk about overglaze color, underglaze color, blue and white materials, and mold shop, which was also particularly interesting, and every time it was relayed, it was a new learning opportunity.
The dialogue between the old and the new is not as conflicting and opposing as she imagined, but like a glass of warm water, silent, slowly injecting light and shadow, and then being embraced by the years, gradually turning into mottled city walls, old docks, new city landmarks, and future ceramic technology.
They talked about the reform of the porcelain industry during the Republic of China, Cheng Yubai said, "The abolition of the kiln ban, the implementation of the wage system, the shortening of the kiln lane, and the establishment of the pottery industry maintenance association are a great innovation." ”
In an era of war, those ceramic people turned into a furnace fire, and worked non-stop to protect and continue the national wealth for thousands of years. In this era of peace, food and clothing are worry-free, and the economy is taking off, and it is necessary to inject efforts into the development of the porcelain industry and pass on this spark.
Xu Zhiliu put down her chopsticks, listened carefully, and occasionally spoke, and talked endlessly.
Cheng Yubai affirmed the science of firewood kiln, although in recent years, with urban planning, social progress, firewood kiln has been gradually abandoned, but it is very certain that different varieties of ceramics are fired according to the temperature of the kiln, and the green rate is high.
He affirmed the wisdom of the ceramic people of that era, the labor and dedication of the lower classes, and the unknown dedication and humiliation in the torrent of history.
Although they can't communicate directly face-to-face, they can fully feel each other's existence, just like Xu Qing said, Cheng Yubai is a close friend he has never met.
This night, Xu Zhiliu's heart was shocked, and she couldn't sleep.
