Chapter 90, The Eyebrows of the Ancient Book
Out of the alley to the outside, there are a lot of pedestrians on the road at this time.
Seeing that the shops on the side of the road had already opened, I aimed at a hardware store and went straight in.
I bought a briquette stove (12 pieces of 5), an aluminum kettle (7 pieces), and an iron pot (3 pieces of 5).
Naturally, I bought a large iron pot, and it happened to be used with two pots, and it cost more than 20 yuan.
I went out to buy my things, hung up in the car, and went to a nearby store to buy soap, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, 3 thermos, etc.
It is more convenient to drink water in the space or a cup, and I bought another enamel jar.
Just the twenty or so dollars went again.
Watching the vegetable market open, I went in and bought all the tofu tickets I exchanged last time, and bought some spices such as star anise, cinnamon, fennel, etc.
Spices are indeed not cheap, they cost more than a pound of a piece.
Looking at the things in the grocery store, the peach crisp doesn't need a ticket, and the price is not expensive, 5 cents and 4 pounds, and I bought five pounds.
After everything was purchased, he was ready to go shopping around.
The car came to a shop and he stopped.
Consignment store.
The reason why I know this kind of store is because of Zhang Laohan.
The consignment store is a place where Zhang Laohan will inevitably go every time he comes to Kyoto to buy goods.
There is no dedicated second-hand recycling market in Kyoto.
A consignment store is a collection of all kinds of old goods.
Originally, he was helping his neighbors sell valuable items such as furniture, but later the common people also sent clothes, pots and pans and other things to sell on their behalf.
There are too many people who send it, and the registration management is inconvenient.
After the scale was formed, it gradually formed a place where it was only purchased at a low price and then sold, and it no longer accepted the neighborhood consignment business.
It is also a must-visit place for people living in need of money in Kyoto City.
The car was parked, and he went straight in.
As for losing the car, he wasn't worried.
Today's bicycles are the equivalent of future cars, and once they are lost, it is a big case.
There is a steel stamp on it, and it would be unlucky to tell the source.
I also gave a receipt when I bought it from the garage!
After entering, the place is not small, about 200 square meters, and there are a lot of things in it.
An old man in the store was looking at the plate with a magnifying glass at the bar, and two women were sorting things out in the hall.
There are already a lot of people wandering around inside, picking out things, and at first glance, they are people with relatively poor families.
As for him coming in, a few people just glanced at it and didn't care.
Just be careful not to steal.
Yang Xiaole came in and looked there.
On the left is furniture and the like.
Old wardrobes, tables, benches.
Everything is usable, older things, the paint of the furniture has almost fallen off, and it looks a little mottled.
In the middle are some ordinary supplies, old radios, alarm clocks, watches, pots and pans, hot water bottles, basically all have...
These things are either not wanted by the rich people in the family, or they are sold by moving.
Because of the frequent movement between cities in these years.
I heard that most of the skilled workers in the No. 1 Textile Factory are female workers transferred from the textile factory on the other side of the city.
After all, Kyoto has been industrially underdeveloped since ancient times.
It began to develop after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
When he came to the furniture, he looked curiously.
What did he do in his previous life?
In order to fool those people, I really studied hard, not to mention proficient, but at least most of them can say that they are the truth.
In front of those who know how to do it, he is the class man with an axe.
But in front of people who don't understand, he is a brick family.
Most of them were ordinary wood, and although the paint had fallen off, he still couldn't see it.
There are two mahogany circle chairs.
It's a pity that it's a little mutilated, and it's not a very valuable wenge.
After looking around, I left.
Coming to the middle, the old man was still looking at the plate from before.
And on the shelf behind the old man, there are still a lot of bottles and cans, and there are a lot of good things in them.
He lowered his head and looked at the payment.
I knew what it was in an instant.
"Qingdao light blue and white entwined lotus pattern plate"
Suddenly it was boring.
There are very few imitations nowadays, and this one should be genuine.
But although this thing is also an official kiln, and it is blue and white porcelain, it is not as valuable as imagined.
It's mainly because Daoguang is poor!
The vertical parts of bottles and cans with high process requirements can not be done, and can only be fired in small quantities, mainly to fire this kind of bowls and plates that have survived a large number of times.
And this kind of blue and white entwined lotus pattern plate is the most abundant one.
In the future, there will be a maximum of 100,000.
It's not that he looks down on these 100,000.
It's that it doesn't make much sense to get this thing so early, and it's no problem to have the opportunity to collect one or two to play with in the future.
If you want to collect it now, then only collect high-quality products, the space is so big, there is no place to put it!
Otherwise, it's a pity that it will be ruined later.
The old man probably heard him muttering the name of this flower plate just now, and picked a glance: "Shout, little guy, know the words on it and know that it is Daoguang?" ”
That's a must!
The current characters are all traditional characters, and the year before last it just began to popularize simplified characters.
Besides, could it be that the brush words in the previous life were practiced in vain.
"Oh, it looks like this is the kind of noodle bowl that looks like this."
After that, he looked at the shelves, there were some good things, but he didn't need them yet.
However, he still asked: "Uncle, how much does this cost?" ”
"Oh, this? This 3 pieces of 5, do you want? ”
"Thank you. I'll just ask. ”
Then he didn't look again, and walked towards the daily necessities.
There's no rush now, and this stuff will be terrible in the future.
The old man watched him leave, then continued to look at the plate in his hand, and finally carefully placed the things on the shelf.
I'll have to send it to those high-end restaurants!
Slipped to the old book.
There are also bookstores in the city, and there are not many books here.
There were already a few young men and women of half age, picking and choosing.
Come and have a look.
Hey, there are really a lot of good things here, and after coming to this world for so many years, I have been reading some villain books at school to pass the time.
There aren't many comic strips here.
And there are quite a few books published.
In the mainland, there are old books such as Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as well as some long stories written by modern people.
There are also quite a few books in foreign translations.
"War and Peace", "Anna Karenina", "Red and Black", "How is Steel Made?" "Crime and Punishment", "Russian Love History", ............
There are quite a few variety.
After looking at it casually, he smiled and asked the aunt next to him, "Auntie, how much is this?" ”
The aunt didn't speak, and a teenage boy next to her spoke:
"The price is different, a few cents thinner, two or three cents thicker, and foreign books are more expensive, about 5 cents, depending on what you want."
"Hey, thank you!"
Yang Xiaole thanked happily and began to choose.
Overall, the price is less than one-tenth of that of a new book.
picked out more than 20 books in a row, and felt that it was enough for him to read for a while, so he stopped.
Putting the book aside, he went over to his old clothes and took a look.
The clothes here are actually the kind of good materials that are wear-resistant, although they are old, but most of them have no patches, or very few patches.
Didn't bother to get these old clothes.
The women's flower family gave a lot, but the men's ones were not necessary.
I have to explain that it's very annoying, so it's better to give the family something good to eat and drink.
When I came to sell old iron pots, they were all oily iron pots that were almost scrapped, and they were the kind of small pots used in the city.
I wasn't going to buy it.
Yang Xiaole thought that the school had a task, and everyone had to hand in a part of the iron utensils, and the old iron pot was just for the task, so he took two small iron pots.
The uncle looked at him and asked, "Are you sure you want to buy it?" What about your family? ”
"Oh, my dad went to my aunt's house. I want this. ”
The old man didn't say anything more.
Holding the abacus beads and fiddling there, he said while fiddling: "This book is 2 Mao 2, this book is 1 Mao 3, this book is 6 Mao 1... Iron pot two mouths 1 piece 2.... A total of 8 pieces of 3 gross 8. ”
Yang Xiaole nodded, it's okay, you can pick up thicker books by yourself.
The average is about three cents a copy.
Paid the money and didn't leave.
Instead, he watched the old man hesitate there.
"What's wrong? Isn't the money right? ”
Seeing that he was staring at himself without leaving, the old man lifted his glasses and asked strangely.
Yang Xiaole came back to his senses, "Oh, it's nothing, uncle, I just want to ask, do you recognize these words?" ”
After speaking, he took out a piece of paper with three fonts written on it.
It was he who scrambled the title of the book and copied it.
"Huh! Seal script? ”
Seeing himself on the paper, the old man was surprised, hurriedly picked up the paper, and took a closer look at his glasses.
Hearing the name shouted by the old man, Yang Xiaole was happy for a while.
It's really a seal.
"Body, raise, I don't know the back one at all!"
The old man muttered intermittently.
Yang Xiaole was surprised after listening to the name that the other party said.
Is it a regimen? Or is it a health formula?
Is it for health?
What do you want this thing for?
After the old man finished reading, he put down the paper and said to him: "Look, this is the cultivation, the cultivation of the cultivation, this is the body, the body of the body, this should be able to barely be seen, in the end I don't know very well, where did you copy this thing?" After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the characters were unified into small seals, which is this kind of writing. ”
Yang Xiaole glanced at it.
It turns out that it is not health, but health.
After the Qin Dynasty?
Could it be that Qin Shi Huang used it to cultivate immortality back then?
I couldn't help but sneer in my heart.
But after hearing the old man say the words, it feels really similar, the shape of the word is similar to that of a cockroach, and the two heads are like the tentacles of a cockroach.
The body of the body is also more pronounced.
It's just that the last word is very cumbersome, and there is no reference at all.
Raising his head, he said to the old man: "This is what I saw on a carving, I just ask, do you know so many small seals?" ”
Since it is from the Qin Dynasty, it must not be said that it was seen in books.
It can only be said that it was seen on the carving.
After reading it, the old man hurriedly asked, "Do you know where the things are?" ”
"I know, but it's gone, but I copied the text on it, just curious about what was written on it."
After speaking, he took out a notebook.
This is what he has sorted out in the space in the past few days, and only one of the repeated words is taken, so that no one knows the meaning of it.
In fact, there are still a few in it that he can guess.
But to be on the safe side, he copied them all.
The old man took the things and looked at them, and looked through some of them.
I put the book together again.。
He handed it back and said to him, "I only know a few simple ones, and I don't know most of them." ”
Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was disappointed for a while, thinking that a master had come!
"Do you know anyone who knows an expert or professor of this kind of character?"
The old man thought for a moment when he heard this, "In this way, I will introduce you to a person, you go to him, he is very interested in this, you give him this thing, maybe there will be a reward." ”
"Oh, who?"
Yang Xiaole was vigilant for a while.
Don't arrest him!
The old man wrote an address and a number on the piece of paper and handed it to him: "Professor Chen Fuhai of the Inscription Exhibition Room of the Ancient Industry Museum, he is very good at studying this. Give him a call before you go. Today Sunday, he is not at school and should be in the museum. ”
"How much does this cost?"
In the middle of his thoughts, someone came to pay.
The old man didn't have the time to pay attention to him at this time, and paid the bill next to him.
"Uncle, thank you!"
Yang Xiaole took the thing, took a look, thanked him and left.
When he got out of the consignment store and came outside, he hesitated for a while, thinking about whether to go or not!
How to explain it in a moment!
After thinking about it, he decided to go over and have a look.
He also figured out what to say.
No one in the museum doesn't know where it is.
After looking around, I saw a post office in the distance, and I was going to go there to make a phone call and ask.
When I came to the place, there were quite a few people shouting there.
There is no way, the current communication equipment is backward, and it is not clear to hear if it is not loud, unless it is very close.
There is no such problem in the city.
After waiting for a while, the queue came to him, and the operator looked at him and asked, "Where to call?" ”
"The Museum of the Former Works."
When the operator heard this, he nodded and operated directly there for a while.
It didn't take long for the phone to go through.
It's just that no one answered the phone.
After waiting for two minutes, someone answered: "Hey, hello, who are you looking for?" ”
"I'll look for Professor Chen Fuhai Chen, is he here?"
"Oh, I just, what's the matter?"
"Oh, you're Professor Chen, I have some small seals I want you to see, I don't know if you're interested."
"Little Seal?"
The voice immediately became interested.
"Well, yes, Xiao Seal!"
"Where are you now?"
"I'm here in Xidan, where can I find you?"
"That's it, you come to Xihuamen, I'll wait for you at the door."
"Hey, okay, I'll be right over."
Speaking of this, Yang Xiaole hung up the phone and asked the operator; "How much?"
"1 Mao Five"
Yang Xiaole heard the words and handed him the money
The basic phone bill is one and a half cents for three minutes, and if you can't play enough, you will have to pay one and a half cents for three minutes.
I went out of the post and telecommunications office and asked about the location of Xihua Gate, and rode towards my destination.
Ten minutes later, we came to a bridge on the edge of the city wall, next to the tube river that surrounded the entire old workmanship, and according to legend, a lot of antiques and money were thrown into it later.
But that's a few years later.
After crossing the stone bridge, I came to a city gate, and at this time many people were buying tickets to enter.
When he came to the place, he saw a little old man in his fifties beside him looking around.
The other party was wearing a blue-gray shirt, gray trousers, and a thin body with a pair of reading glasses.
"Is it Professor Chen?"
Yang Xiaole came to the place and asked him.
The old man looked him up and down: "I am, did you call just now?" ”
"Well, yes!"
Hearing this, the old man nodded, his voice was distorted, he thought it was an adult!
I didn't expect it to be a child.
But he didn't care about this, and hurriedly asked, "What about what you said?" Brought? ”
Seeing this, Yang Xiaole hurriedly handed him the things.
"I didn't bring anything, but I copied the contents inside, you see, I want to know what is written on it, is it okay?"
Looking at what he handed over, the old man's brows furrowed.
After opening it, I looked at it and closed it again: "Did you copy it down?" Where is the stuff? I want to see something! ”
What's the use of this thing for him to see!
He's asking for something!
"It's refined!"
The old man was puzzled for a while. "Refined? What was refined? ”
"Oh, I saw it in the commune, dug up the sand from the river, and they said that there might be iron in the green, green, black and black, so they threw it into the furnace to refine it."
Hearing Yang Xiaole's words, the old man touched his chest.
Hurriedly asked, "Do you know what it is?" ”
"It's an inscription!"
The old man was angry for a while when he heard this: "Then how can you refine it!" The green is patina, copper and iron are not clear? Violent Heavenly Things, Violent Heavenly Things! ”
Then he shook his head, no way, these people have almost no awareness of cultural relics protection.
No one can be blamed!
Hurriedly put away the notebook in his hand.
It's ruined, but it's a good thing, maybe something can be analyzed.
He wanted the history to be recorded.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaole hurriedly said, "Hey, Professor Chen, I want to know what is written on it, can you translate it for me?" ”
Hearing this, Professor Chen reacted that this thing was not his!
Then he asked him, "Little comrade, how did you remember to record this?" Can you give me this? I'll give you five bucks. ”
"Oh, I like to practice calligraphy, I'm more interested in this, forget about the money, this is for you, but I want to know what is written on it. All right? ”
Hearing his words, the old man's brows furrowed.
There should be two or three thousand words on it!
After thinking for a moment, he said, "In this case, you can go in with me first." ”
As soon as he got the thing, he wanted to know what was recorded in it.
Yang Xiaole is a little strange, shouldn't this be checked slowly?
Take him in, can you come out so soon?
Although it was strange, he hurriedly agreed, pushed the car into the carport, and paid 2 cents for the parking fee.
And Chen Fuhai had already taken a ticket and handed it to him.
"Let's go, let's go in."
After speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the museum.
