Chapter 36 Jade Ornaments [Please vote for me]
Huh?
Didn’t Zhou Ruotong arrange for Ge Huihui to come over next Friday?
These two people are not going to explore today... Li Yu intends to give some advice. Going into the mountains without adequate preparation can easily lead to accidents.
As soon as the car parked, Ge Huihui opened the door and got out:
"Hurry up and cook quickly. We set off from the capital early in the morning. Before we had time to have lunch, Ruotong was already hungry."
After that, he ran to the big golden retriever and put his arms around him Holding this guy's neck:
"Brother Dao, I called you hello, why didn't you respond?"
The corner of Zhou Ruotong's mouth in the car twitched, he was hungry because he was hungry , what are you doing to me?
She pressed the door button of the trunk, picked up the bag placed on the armrest box, and got out of this high-end customized car full of carbon fiber plates.
Even though it was noon, the wind in the mountains was still cool.
Zhou Ruotong said while buttoning his denim jacket:
"There are a lot of things. Let’s cook after moving them... I see that the front desk is empty, so I brought you a decoration."
Yesterday, her second uncle delivered the ornaments to her home. She didn’t even unpack them and put them directly on the back seat of the car.
After hearing the ornaments, Ge Huihui became interested:
"The jade ornaments Professor Zhou gave you must be extraordinary. Take it out quickly and let me Luke... Brother Dao, you don't know what Luke means, right? It means it in English."
Li Yu: "..."
What are you doing teaching a dog English? Why do you expect this guy to read English books?
He walked to the back of the car and saw that the trunk was packed full of things, including hiking bags, tent bags, first aid kits, and other equipment full of English.
There is even a cluster of arrows in the corner of the carriage.
Ge Huihui said as if he was offering a treasure:
“It’s not that the mountains are very dangerous, so we brought a beautiful hunting bow and a large-pound compound bow. If we encounter bad people, whoosh... ...Absolutely kill with one hit!"
She made a gesture of drawing a bow and imitated the sound of an arrow being fired.
Then he patted Brother Dao on the head:
“Not only can we deal with bad people, but we can also deal with bad dogs.”
"Woof!"
The big golden retriever barked dissatisfiedly, wagging his tail and ran away, away from this crazy girl.
After unloading the equipment from the car one by one, Li Yu helped move it to the B&B.
Zhou Ruotong walked into the door and saw many workers:
“Are you planning to upgrade?”
"Yes, the yard is a bit empty. Let's build a corridor and set up a pavilion, which is suitable for tourists to take pictures."
He moved the equipment he brought to the storage room next to the living room. The two bows were taken by Zhou Ruotong Hanging on the shelf in the storage room:
"You can practice and play with these two bows, but you cannot let the strings go empty, not even once, otherwise the bow will be scrapped."
She I was worried that Li Yu would play with it, so I warned him in advance.
“Don’t worry, I won’t touch your things.”
Li Yu had seen a collection of shooters' mistakes at station B. Some cut their fingers, some cut their arms, and some were hit in the face by the bowstring.
Well, it’s more interesting to watch other people play, so let’s just be an audience.
After laying out all the equipment, Zhou Ruotong dragged a rectangular wooden box from the back seat of the Land Rover Defender.
Li Yu quickly came over to help, and the two of them carried him to the living room.
Open the box and it is covered with shock-proof foam boards and sponges.
After taking these away, there was an emerald-green landscape ornament lying quietly in the box, about one meter long and more than fifty centimeters wide.
The ornaments are very beautiful, like a 3D version of a landscape painting.
What’s even more amazing is that the entire ornament is specially made into different elements according to the depth of the jade color, including mountains, trees, rivers, cliffs, etc.
On the river, there is a brown bump. It was originally a flaw, but it was creatively carved into a flat boat.
The lifelike appearance has the artistic conception of "I am like a human being without a boat, and I am wandering leisurely when the wind is good and the moon is good". People can't help but admire the ingenuity of the carving master.
After moving the ornaments out, Ge Huihui saw the appraisal certificate pressed at the bottom of the box. He opened it and took a look:
“I can’t believe this ornament came from the Qing Dynasty. Freehand brushwork was popular in that era. This realistic style is very rare. ...Why isn’t Professor Zhou my second uncle?”
Zhou Ruotong also didn’t expect that his second uncle would actually get Qing Dynasty ornaments through a bet. It is estimated that no one in the museum will dare to make a bet.
She checked the ornaments and said:
"In the cultural and entertainment category, jade ornaments are only in the fifth grade and are the least valuable, but this one is very well carved, plus It’s old jadeite with an ebony base, it should be worth a lot of money.”
Yeah?
Can I exchange it for money?
Li Yu murmured in his heart, feeling like he was guarding the treasure mountain but was hungry.
It’s really annoying to have a bunch of valuables but can’t cash them in.
However, it should be said that once this ornament was placed at the front desk, the originally ordinary living room suddenly became a little more noble. This may be the reason why rich people like ornaments.
He thought that Zhou Ruotong and Ge Huihui hadn't eaten yet, so he asked:
"What do you two want to eat? I'll do it right now."
Ge Huihui was taking photos around the decorations , Hearing this, he immediately put down his phone:
"Anything is fine, I'm so hungry that I can't even lift my phone. Ruotong still won't let me eat on the road, saying that your craftsmanship is good and you didn't do it." Don’t eat..."
Zhou Ruotong:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Who brought a big bag of snacks and kept eating them like a hamster since they got in the car?
Li Yu walked into the kitchen. At this point, it was too late to steam the rice, and the steamed buns were also frozen and had to be reheated. He thought about it and prepared to make some fried noodles for the two of them. Boil a pot of water and put a pack of dry noodles in from the storage room.
Cook until medium cooked, take out, put in cold water and cool.
Taking advantage of this time, he cut some shredded meat and prepared shredded green peppers, onions, carrots and a handful of green vegetables.
Remove the noodles to control the water, and then mix them with cooking oil and dark soy sauce. This will make the noodles better in color and less likely to stick to each other.
When everything was ready, he heated a pot with oil and stir-fried over high heat to make two large plates of fried noodles.
“Come and eat!”
Hearing Li Yu’s shout, Ge Huihui was a little surprised:
“The meal has been served in just a few minutes, and he won’t cook it for us. Want some instant noodles?”
Zhou Ruotong glanced at her:
"Repent?"
"No, anyway, I make instant noodles at home. Now that someone has made them, I can't wait to eat them."
After saying that, the girl ran towards the restaurant like a crazy woman.
“Wow, fried noodles!”
Seeing the oily fried noodles on the table, Ge Huihui was very excited. He picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. Then he turned to Zhou Ruotong who walked in and said:
"It's delicious, super delicious! Ruotong, you want If you can't finish it, keep it for me. Don't waste it."
Zhou Ruotong pulled up the chair and sat down:
"Didn't you just make a weight loss plan last night?"
< br>"Mazu said I'm not fat and don't need to lose weight, blah blah blah, I'm going to get started!"
Ge Huihui's ancestral home is Hu Jian, and she is accustomed to asking Mazu for instructions no matter what she does at home.
Now that Mazu says there is no need to lose weight, you can eat freely.
Li Yu brought two bowls of freshly cooked egg soup, a plate of torn roast chicken and a portion of delicious kimchi:
“We don’t have enough time, so you two can eat together first. I’ll make something delicious in the afternoon.”
If I call in advance, I’ll make more braised eggplant and braised chicken nuggets for lunch.
Ge Huihui took another bite of fried noodles, with a look of grievance on his face:
"I have to take the high-speed train back later, and I won't be able to eat it!"
Li Yu: "..."
You are really sending Ruotong a thousand miles away!
He brought a few more side dishes and then went to work outside.
After the two of them had finished eating and tidying up the kitchen, Li Yu made a pot of tea.
While pouring the tea, he thought that the jade pendant in the cabinet was a thousand years older than the silver ingots from the Song Dynasty, but the condition was about the same, so he asked insinuatingly:
"Those two silver ingots are a little bit different. "New, how did you identify it?"
Zhou Ruotong glanced at him:
"New or old is not the basis for judging cultural relics. Even patina, scratches, traces of use, etc., are not included in the cultural relics. In the judgment, it only serves as a reference. What plays a key role is the characteristics of the times composed of craftsmanship, material quality, and the level of craftsman knowledge. This is the key to judging cultural relics.”
Li Yu looked like he was asking for advice humbly:
“Then if we have to find an expert to imitate the production, wouldn’t it be possible to fake it?”
Seeing that he was such an amateur, Ge Huihui laughed out loud. Cry:
"It cannot be made. The materials of each era have their own characteristics. Take silver ingots as an example, those from the Han Dynasty, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Song Dynasty, the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the impurities contained in them are all the same. They are different, and the proportions of mineral elements are also different, so even if you make a replica of a silver ingot with the same purity, as long as it is exposed to X-rays, the original shape will be revealed immediately. "
No wonder it is a fake cultural relic. It can only be deceived by laymen.
Li Yu thought that there wasn't much patina on the jade pendant, and even the rope was still new, and couldn't help but ask:
"There is a very interesting question on Zhihu. If you could travel to ancient times, what would you do? Are the returned items considered cultural relics or imitations?”
Many outsiders have asked Zhou Ruotong such questions, she said with a smile:
“Even if it is porcelain just out of the kiln, as long as it can be Take it back and it will be a cultural relic... The greatest value of cultural relics is to record the time points of a certain era, rather than how many years they have been passed down. Our archeology major studies these."
After that, she opened it. Cell phone, pull out a photo.
Li Yu took a look and saw that it was a brand-new bronze plate that looked like it had just been made.
“A few years ago, a jar was found in the Yinxu residential area. The newly made bronze plate was put into the jar. An earthquake occurred. The jar was upside down in the water and stuck in the mud. It was not until a few years ago that the jar was discovered. Dig it out... You can still see these plates when you go to the National Museum. Among a group of bronzes covered with patina, they are so new that they are conspicuous. "
Ge Huihui is very interested in this kind of topic. I was interested, and just about to join in, I suddenly saw Brother Dao winking at me at the door, and I suddenly remembered that the two of them were going to fall in love, so I had better stop being a light bulb.
She took a bouncing ball and threw it out, and started playing games with Brother Dao.
After the living room became quiet, Zhou Ruotong turned her beautiful eyes:
"It's been laying the groundwork for so long, tell me, did your friend ask you for something to pay off his debt again?"
Li Yu: "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Miss Zhou, you are so smart, aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to get married in the future?
