Chapter 75 Chicken Oil Yellow Porcelain
The grandfather and grandson walked leisurely and slowly from one stall to another. Grandpa Xu had different hobbies from Jin Huan. What he looked at the most was the Four Treasures of the Study.
"Xiao Yu'er, this pen holder is good. Why don't you buy it and use it when you write?"
"It just so happens that you can add a pen holder. What do you think of this pen holder? Does it look good?"
"Here is a line of fragrant ink, which is perfect for female dolls!"
…
Anyway, Jin Huan understood clearly that Master Xu tried his best to cultivate Jin Huan into a gentle and talented girl who could dance, write, and be proficient in calligraphy and painting.
She was probably just enjoying herself in her normal life, but she actually behaved too much like a boy, which made Grandpa Xu feel a sense of danger that she would inherit her father's legacy as a daughter.
In the two generations following Grandpa Xu, except for Jinhuan’s grandfather, Jinhuan’s parents and grandmother were both born in the military.
He himself doesn't think there is anything wrong with being a soldier. On the contrary, he thinks it is indeed a very honorable thing for soldiers to serve their country.
But Jinhuan is the only one in the family and a girl, so it is the best choice to live a safe and happy life.
Jin Huan watched Grandpa Xu enthusiastically buying books, paintings, and the Four Treasures of the Study, so he went with him. Anyway, he bought it back and kept it for now. Whether he would use it or not would depend on it later.
After Grandpa Xu finished buying what he was talking about, the pen holder, pen holder and incense ink, he happened to pass by a porcelain stall. The stall owner must have just arrived and was still sorting out the things on the stall.
Most of them are large pieces of porcelain, including a blue and white beauty vase over one meter high, a large porcelain jar with a diameter of forty or fifty centimeters, a big-bellied pastel porcelain jar...
It's nice to look good, but fake porcelain is the easiest to spot, and all you have to do is look at the patterns and colors.
Forget about distinguishing between true and false, because I really can’t do it!
Besides, buying such a big item is really eye-catching, and it will be a problem to get it back later.
Jinhuan stood and watched for a while, then prepared to leave.
"Hey~ little sister, why are you leaving? You don't even care about me?" the young stall owner greeted warmly.
Jin Huan smiled at her, "Brother, these things of yours are too big. You can't take them back, and I can't use them either. I want to buy some dishes and dishes that can be used at home."
“This is my first time setting up a stall, and I didn’t expect to go up here!” The stall owner wiped the sweat from his face and said, “But I have a bowl here, do you think you like it? I just took it back!
"
As he spoke, he took out a bowl from the basket and handed it to Jin Huan.
This bowl is a small bowl, as big as a eating bowl. It is covered with bright yellow glaze both inside and outside. It looks very bright and bright.
On the outside of the bowl is a circle of blue and white patterns with lotus flowers intertwining branches. The blue and white are tinged with purple and complement each other with the yellow glaze.
But it doesn't feel tacky at all, but it has a pretty and lively flavor.
Turning the bowl over, there are the words "Hongzhi Year of the Ming Dynasty" on the bottom.
Isn’t the yellow porcelain from the Hongzhi period the famous chicken fat yellow?
Jinhuan looked at the inscription on the bottom of the bowl again. She had read books and reports before, saying that the six-character chicken fat yellow model in the Hongzhi period had the word "governance" on it, and the three dots of water on the left were obviously better than the "台" on the right.
"Be lower.
Isn't this in my hand exactly the three o'clock water on the left that is low?
Turn it over again and touch the bottom of the bowl. The glaze is indeed not very uniform. This is because the glaze will flow to the bottom of the bowl when it is brushed into the bowl.
Furthermore, Hongzhi Chicken Butter Yellow is fired at a low temperature, so the glaze is deposited on the bottom of the bowl. As the heat slowly reaches the point, isn't there some unevenness at the bottom of the bowl?
"How much do you plan to sell this bowl for?" Jinhuan began to ask the price after confirming that it was genuine.
The young stall owner might be new to business on his first day. He wiped his sweat with his handkerchief and said, "This bowl is a match for the big jar in front of you. Can you give me 50 cents? I'll clear the stall first."
The fee is paid."
Jinhuan took out five cents from the satchel she was carrying and handed it to him.
The stall owner smiled and took the money and muttered: "It's now open, I hope it's a good start!"
"Then I wish you a prosperous business and a prosperous business!" Jin Huan also said auspicious words with a smile.
Jin Huan's auspicious words were spoken in a crisp voice and with a sweet smile on his face. The stall owner felt that Jin Huan looked well-behaved and his words were particularly lovable.
He rummaged through the straw in the basket again and took out a small blue and white porcelain plate and handed it to Jin Huan, "The little baby has the most eloquent mouth, so I will lend you some good words as a favor. This plate is also suitable for you."
Head, I’ll send it to you together!”
This was an unexpected surprise. Although the blue and white small plate could not be judged to be genuine or fake, the color of the plate seemed to have been around for a long time, making it an old item.
After buying the chicken nugget, I didn't come across anything worth selling, but it was still fun to enjoy it.
After all, some of the things I picked up today are already confirmed to be genuine, and I have gotten a huge discount.
One cannot be dissatisfied, right?
Grandpa Xu saw peanuts being sold at a stall. The shells only weighed about ten kilograms each, worth one pound and a half. They were all wrapped up, and they even gave them to Grandpa Xu as a bag.
Speaking of peanuts, it's quite funny. This year there are new regulations. Supply and marketing cooperatives and non-staple food stations no longer supply peanuts.
Originally, everything was in short supply, and peanuts were in short supply and becoming increasingly expensive as they were cooked. So ordinary places simply stopped supplying peanuts, and peanuts could only be seen on important dinner occasions.
Men who think about drinking some wine with peanuts every now and then are miserable. No wine table is complete without peanuts.
This is what I heard from Chaosu's Longmen Formation. It was said that there was an old man named He in the village who was lonely and widowed. His mother-in-law, son, and daughter-in-law all disappeared during the famine.
This old man He is over sixty years old. Now he earns his own work points. One person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. He likes to drink a few taels when he has nothing to do.
After he stopped supplying peanuts, he ate beans, peas and soybeans and drank alcohol every day. Then when he went to work, no one was willing to work with him.
Because after eating too much of these types of beans, they become a human-shaped odor releasing machine.
The fried beans are delicious, but the side effect is too much fart.
After walking a few more steps, Grandpa Xu fell in love with vermicelli vermicelli again and bought a large bundle of thick and thin ones.
Anyway, the vermicelli won’t go bad, so I can keep it for a different flavor in the morning and eat hot and sour vermicelli.
Jinhuan also has a favorite home-cooked dish, rotten meat vermicelli, but the kind made with thin white vermicelli is more delicious.
There was actually lotus root starch at the stall selling vermicelli, and Grandpa Xu also weighed it.
Because Jinhuan likes to eat sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus root starch very much. It was the lotus root starch that He Liangping brought when he came to celebrate the New Year. After eating it, Jinhuan couldn’t stop eating it.
There is no way, living in an era without snacks, a bowl of lotus root starch can taste like Yangzhi nectar.
In the 21st century, many people find lotus root to be sticky and greasy after brewing, and the taste is slightly disgusting.
But now, as long as the food is edible, there is no such thing as disgusting.
In this era, lotus root starch is really a high-end nutritional product. You can't find it in supply and marketing cooperatives like Sichuan Province. Lotus root starch is a specialty of Jiangnan. It is sold locally and a small part is supplied to the capital and Shanghai.
