Chapter 185: Fish Balls
Zhang Yaohua traveled to several cities and finally found several long-lost national treasures.
There are still some overseas losses, so let's stop for the time being! For example, the 12 zodiac animal heads are still lost overseas and have not been recovered.
In addition, there are also those that have been lost at the bottom of the sea, such as the fossilized skull of Peking Man.
When he returned home, the family was preparing for the occupation of the villa.
"Coming back?"
Zhang Yaohua nodded: "I went to find something." ”
He didn't tell his family what it was.
Zhang's father said, "Someone is looking for you." ”
Zhang Yaohua said that he knew and had already contacted him.
Unexpectedly, that group of people couldn't wait so much and came to the village in advance to wait.
Mom is processing a large pot of Nago fish.
"Mom! Make so many Nago fish and make fish balls? Zhang Yaohua asked.
"Hmmm! Make fish balls. Your dad bought it back and said it was cheap now, only about ten yuan. ”
The real name of the fish is the polydont mullet.
This fish is carnivorous and usually stagnant on the sandy ground, and its patterns are good camouflage, sometimes burying its entire body in the sand with only its eyes exposed, waiting for its prey to swim by, and then jump up and devour.
The meatballs made by that brother fish are good, full of fragrance, and very Q bomb.
Its flesh is tender, but there are many spines. Sea fish with many spines are relatively rare, and the stinger is one of them.
"If you want me to say, why bother? If you want to eat fish balls, just buy them! Zhang Yaowei said.
I won't talk about it before.
But now, the family is not short of money, and there is no need to make yourself so tired. Beating meatballs is quite tiring, and it is not easy to make Nago fish into fish balls.
"What to buy? It's better to make it yourself. The last time you bought it outside, I didn't know if it was made of fish. "Mom disagreed.
Let's go! Zhang Yaowei was speechless.
To help, you first have to wash the fish and put it on the anvil, cut the head, tail, skin, and use a knife to remove and chop the fish.
The fish should not be sliced with a knife to prevent the small bone needles of the fish from mixing with the red meat on the edge of the skin. And this boning kung fu is an authentic traditional craft.
Tapping technique is the key to making fish balls.
"Come and fight, what do you want your brother to fight?" Mom glared at Zhang Yaowei.
"I'll just do it." Zhang Yaohua.
Mom, it's like he can't do any heavy work. As long as it is complicated physical work, let the second brother do it, in the eyes of outsiders, what is this not partiality?
It's just that everyone takes it for granted.
No way! From childhood to adulthood, Zhang Yaohua has good academic performance.
Children with good grades don't have to do heavy work.
At this point, not to mention their Zhang family, the people in the whole village feel that there is nothing wrong.
What? Do you have an opinion?
Then you come back with a good score, and you don't have to work.
The elder brother consciously snatched the tool and slapped it rhythmically.
The slapping action is even and powerful, and it generally takes thousands of beats to pat the glue of the fish to seep out, which is called "spitting pulp", and the fish balls will be crispy.
Therefore, it is quite tiring to want to eat good meatballs.
If you want to save trouble, you can use a meat grinder directly, it's not so authentic to make, and you can still eat it. The ones sold outside are made by meat grinders, and it is impossible to really beat them hundreds or thousands of times by hand, which is too time-consuming and costly.
The fish balls are ready and boiling!
Soon after, the people came smelling. The leader is Director Bai and the big collector surnamed Ma, a large group, and they are all black.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang! This time, I came over and bothered. ”
Zhang Yaohua shook hands with them one by one and got to know each other.
"Where to say! My room is a bit narrow, and I don't greet you well, so please forgive me. ”
After a few polite exchanges with each other, they finally got to the point.
Zhang Yaohua took out the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection".
"Look slowly."
Mom invites them to eat fish balls.
But how can this group of people still have the heart to eat fish balls now? In order not to disturb the family to eat fish balls, they even proposed to take them to other places for identification.
"Let's go to the elementary school!" Zhang Yaohua proposed.
"Okay, please lead the way."
They came to the primary school, which has now been renovated and the village committee has spent some money.
A group of experts can't wait to take a look.
They identify, discuss, verify, etc.
Zhang Yaohua stayed for a while, feeling bored and couldn't interject, so he didn't care about them.
This group of people was identified for half a day, and the discussion was very intense.
Now, they are divided into two factions. One school believes that this is Wang Xizhi's true work; The other school believes that it is a copy of the Tang Dynasty and is not an authentic copy.
Only it is not said to be a modern fake.
After all, the people who come here are people with two brushes. This "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface", whether it is from the calligraphy attainments, or the paper of the painting core, etc., can be seen to be not simple.
Therefore, whether it is Wang Xizhi's genuine work or not, it is still very precious.
"Mr. Zhang, do you have any intention of changing hands? I can propose a high price buyback for the National Museum. Director Bai said to Zhang Yaohua.
Zhang Yaohua shook his head slightly: "I plan to collect this ink treasure myself." ”
"Listen to me, Xiao Zhang......" Director Bai was anxious.
According to his investigation, Zhang Yaohua is not a professional collector and does not know how to collect. The reason why I came into contact with antique art was because of an antique shop owner surnamed Tang.
Before that, the lost Qingniu inkstone was also found.
I have to sigh that this person's luck is very good, so that he has picked up lost national treasures in a row.
But this is a work of calligraphy!
The collection of ancient calligraphy and paintings is very particular, and if it is not properly preserved, it can be easily destroyed.
He really hopes that Zhang Yaohua can be transferred to a professional museum for safekeeping.
"Bai Lao, don't worry. I have one more item that I want you to identify, identify, identify. ”
This time, Zhang Yaohua recovered several national treasures.
One of them is indeed more appropriate to be handed over to the state for safekeeping.
That is the heirloom jade seal.
The jade seal of the country has a very important symbolic meaning for the country.
But let him hand it over for free, he can't do it. Symbolically asking for one or two small goals shouldn't be too much, right?
"Oh? Take it to me and see it, help with the identification, it's just a gesture. At this moment, Director Bai didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, so he didn't feel at ease.
He is now preoccupied with the "Lanting Collection Preface", thinking about how to persuade Zhang Yaohua to transfer it to the museum.
persuaded people to hand it in for free, such a shameless act, he couldn't do it. But it's paid! The price is negotiable.
Zhang Yaohua brought a box, which was the heirloom jade seal, which he dug up from a ruin in Henan without spending money.
There are several theories about the last appearance of the jade seal of the country, but the more credible one is that after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, when Emperor Li Congke of the late Tang Dynasty set himself on fire, that is, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, this jade seal had disappeared.
Some people will say, no! The Yuan Dynasty also appeared, and in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di went to fight the Mongolian people when they had nothing to do, and a big reason was to find the jade seal of the country.
However, this is only a possibility, and there is no full historical evidence to prove that the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty obtained the jade seal of the country.
