Chapter Twenty-Six: Touching Porcelain
Qiu Weng figured out the reason for the dispute between Shi Dang and his son first, and his heart was also relaxed, he raised his ear glass and said: "Since it was a misunderstanding, it will be over, and it is also our blessing to be able to meet the hero." A glass of old decay to the hero. Shi Dang raised his glass first and returned the salute, and the two drank wine and talked.
Qiu Qian didn't care about himself, he only cared about eating and drinking, and when he felt full, he stood up and said, "I'll go to the street." Qiu Weng signaled to Shi Dang to say goodbye first, and he arched his hand at will, which was regarded as a salute, and he jumped three times in one step, and went downstairs with a knock knock.
Qiu Weng was quite annoyed and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but Shi Dang smiled and waved his hand to stop him. Qiu Weng shook his head and sighed: "This kid is not sensible at all when he is so old. ”
Shi Dang said first: "I have a daughter, who is as old as him, and she is also so stubborn, she doesn't listen to what she says, but she wants to do it." ”
Qiu Weng was puzzled: "Could this be the young rebellion that the doctor said." ”
Shi Dangxian smiled first: "I don't understand this either." However, I think Ling Lang has a simple temperament, is talented and intelligent, and has an immeasurable future. ”
Qiu Weng was embarrassed when he heard it, and said, "The hero Miao praised." He took a sip of wine, pondered for a while, and asked, "Where will the hero go after that?" ”
"Go to Chang'an."
"Chang'an? Great, let's go to Chang'an too. Qiu Weng said happily. He hesitated for a moment and said everything about Qiuqian.
Shi Dang knew about these things first, so his expression was calm and he didn't ask.
Qiu Weng looked at his reaction, although he was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it, and felt that this was also a hero's light-hearted bearing.
He quietly looked at Shi Dangxian, and suddenly his heart moved. It's a long way to Chang'an, and I don't know what dangers I will encounter along the way. This stone dares to have a good temperament and a strong body, if he escorts him, it will be much safer.
He made up his mind, leaned forward slightly, and said with a smiling face: "The hero goes to Chang'an, and we also go to Chang'an, just on the same road, can we go together, there is also a response on the road." Oh. The cost of the road should be borne by the old age. ”
Shi Dang was noncommittal and stuffed a piece of hot meat into his mouth.
Qiu Qian was impatient with his father's words, and went downstairs to wander the streets.
Although Binh Dinh is a county seat, there are no new things in the shops. He looked all the way over, and soon became interested, and turned to listen to Tao Ge. Halfway through a shop selling pottery, I casually glanced at it and saw a few pottery dogs, pottery sheep and pottery figurines in the shop.
He knew that these pottery objects were used as spiritual objects, so he didn't pay much attention to them. But just as he was about to walk over, the corner of his eye swept into the store, and his heart suddenly shook, as if he had been hit by something. He immediately stopped, but he looked confused, not knowing what he wanted to do.
He thought for a while, he should have seen something in the store just now, which shocked him, so he had such a reaction, so he turned around and walked into the store.
There are some daily clay pots and pots at the entrance of the store, and there are many terracotta figurines on the shelves in the house, and several of them are very vivid. He instantly understood that his eyes were attracted by these terracotta figurines just now, so he couldn't help but be curious, and picked up a dancer's terracotta figurine to look at it carefully.
This dancer's terracotta figurines are extremely delicately made. The dancing figurines wear deep clothes around the placket, leaning forward slightly, throwing their arms upwards, and their sleeves hanging down, dancing softly.
Qiu Qian was amazed, and picked up a terracotta figurine on the side.
It was a drumming rap figurine. The terracotta figurines wear a curtain on their heads, their shoulders are high, their chests are exposed, their pants are barefoot, their left arms are wrapped around a flat drum, their right hands are raised to hit with a mallet, they are open and giggling, and their expressions are witty, vividly showing a scene where Haiyu is rapping.
Qiu Qian looked like it, looked up and wanted to ask the shopkeeper for the price, and saw a little girl standing next to him, looking at him with dark eyes, and a pretty face seemed to be smiling.
Qiu Qian asked, "Are you from this store?" The little girl nodded.
Qiu Qian wanted to ask the price, and suddenly realized that this was a spiritual artifact and not an ornament, who would buy this pottery figurine, so he quickly changed his words and asked, "Who made this?" The little girl pointed to herself.
"You did it?" Qiu Qian was very surprised. The little girl nodded.
"Well done." Qiu Qian praised sincerely, but found that the little girl's eyes glanced behind him, and she also turned to look. There was a wooden board resting in the doorway, on which were placed clay pots, and there was nothing unusual. He turned around again and praised, "Well done." ”
He felt that the little girl's eyes seemed to be dodgy, and without thinking too much, he felt that it was not appropriate to buy a spiritual artifact to go back, so he reluctantly put the terracotta figurines back on the shelf, turned around and walked out.
When I walked to the door, I heard a bang, and a board on the door overturned, and the clay pot on the wooden board fell down and fell into pieces.
He looked at the pile of broken cans in amazement, and before he could come to his senses, he heard a scream from a little girl. The shopkeeper came out of nowhere and grabbed him.
The shopkeeper is a chubby old man who looks very kind. He grabbed Qiu Qian and said, "Why are you so careless and broke these clay pots." ”
Qiu Qian originally wanted to argue that he didn't touch the plank, but after thinking about it, these clay pots were not worth a few dollars, so he lost it and saved trouble, so he said: "Then I will compensate you." ”
The shopkeeper smiled all over his face and said, "Childe is really a cheerful person." Then he counted the broken clay pots and said, "Five in all." ”
"You say, how much?" Qiu Qian asked boldly
"Two hundred dollars each, just the same." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Qiu Qian was taken aback, and secretly screamed in his heart, afraid that he would be falsely accused, and said with a red face: "Even in Chang'an, the best clay pot is only twenty yuan a piece." Why is this worth 200 dollars? ”
The shopkeeper clasped his hands to his chest, snorted, and said, "Do you know who made this clay pot?" ”
Qiu Qian shook his head first, and when he saw the little girl squatting on the ground picking up the pieces, he said uncertainly: "She did it." ”
The shopkeeper said, "It's her." ”
Qiu Qian asked suspiciously, "Is she different from others?" ”
The shopkeeper cocked his thumb and said proudly: "Her surname is Xia, Xia of Summer, her name is Nair, a rising star in the pottery industry, although she is a woman, she is not allowed to shave her eyebrows, but she is actually the leader of my Han craftsmen." ”
Qiu Qian was incredulous, looking Xia Nell up and down.
The little girl was not afraid, and stood up to meet his gaze and straightened her chest.
Qiu Qian found that she had a round arc on her chest, and she couldn't help but take a few more looks. The little girl was ashamed and annoyed, and glared at him fiercely. Qiu Qian was ashamed and quickly turned his gaze.
The shopkeeper said: "These clay pots are a limited edition of her hand-refined, there is no similar style in the world, and they were customized by Liu Fushi in the west of the city for his granddaughter's sixth birthday." ”
Chanel crouched down and silently placed the pieces she had picked up on the desk, trying to piece together a complete shape. The shopkeeper sighed on the side.
Qiu Qian looked at her weeping expression, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she thought, pretending to be really like it.
He also couldn't figure it out, he picked up a sword in Shuofang and was slandered, and now look at the pottery figurines that have been slandered again, whether he has a slandered physique.
He was always unwilling, but still wanted to reason with the shopkeeper, and said: "Where is this clay pot worth so much money, besides, whose clay pot is not made by hand." You are slanderers. ”
The shopkeeper was not happy, and said with a straight face: "Little brother, you can say that mine is not, and Tao She's is not, but you must not humiliate Xia Nell, and you must not humiliate her craftsmanship." If it's a pile of wet mud, it's not valuable, and if it's made into a clay pot, you can buy money, and if Chanel makes the wet mud into a clay pot, it's a big deal. ”
Qiu Qian asked, "Why is it so bad?" ”
The shopkeeper spread his hands and said, "Don't you already know?" The value of this clay pot is beyond your imagination and reaches the realm of luxury. ”
Qiu Qian opened his mouth to speak. The shopkeeper motioned to him not to speak yet, and said with a serious expression: "Don't say it, I understand that it is indescribable to bring pain beyond imagination. Do you know what luxury is? In the "Chinese" written by Zuo Qiu Ming in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is said that "arrogance is extravagant, greed is artistic", that is to say, luxury has no boundary. Does it make sense for you and me to argue about why Chanel's clay pots are more expensive than other people's? ”
Qiu Qian couldn't cry or laugh, and didn't know what to say. At this time, a few men walked in outside the door, Qiu Qian was overjoyed, and just wanted to ask for help, but saw that the shopkeeper had already greeted him, and greeted these people with a smile.
Seeing this, Qiu Qian swallowed back the words for help, but he was still unwilling, and wanted to argue with the shopkeeper again, but the shopkeeper ignored it and went upstairs by himself. Only then did Qiu Qian realize that Xia Nell had long since lost her place, surrounded by the men who had just come in.
Qiu Weng and Shi Dang waited left and right in the Tingtao Pavilion first, and did not see Qiu Qian come back.
Seeing that it was getting late, Shi Dang said first: "Let's go down and look for him." Qiu Weng said apologetically: "Xiao'er is really ignorant. ”
Downstairs, Qiu Weng went to meet the banknotes, and Shi Kangxian looked around the street. Choweng came out and asked, "Can you see that kid?" Shi Dang shook his head first.
Qiu Weng asked the man if he could pay attention to which direction Qiu Qian was going, and the man pointed to the north and said that he was going in that direction. Qiu Weng said to Shi Dang first, "Let's go over and have a look."
