Fifteen minutes later, the food arrived. It turned out that the door could be opened in the middle, and a man in black came in with a plate: "Mr. Luo, your food."
"Thank you." With two vegetarian dishes, one meat dish and soup, Luo Tian groaned: "The food is not bad."
The man didn't say anything, closed the hole and left. Luo Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was really a prisoner. Luo Tian thought about it openly and started eating. The staple food was rice and steamed buns. Luo Tian chewed it and found a hard lump inside.
When the thing was taken out, it was a piece of writing paper rolled together. Luo Tian's heart jumped like a rabbit: "What is this?"
Luo Tian opened the note and there were a few big words in it - at twelve o'clock tonight, prepare to respond, the third child.
The third child? Luo Tian is a little depressed. What kind of medicine is he selling in this gourd? He doesn't want to save himself, right? Luo Tian swallowed the note and the steamed bun into his stomach. It's twelve o'clock. It's now seven-thirty in the evening.
There were still four and a half hours left. Regardless of whether the news was true or not, Luo Tian happily finished all his meals and packed up his things. Perhaps he felt a lot more relaxed. He opened the cabinet to take a look.
Master Jiu put some amazing antiques in the cabinet.
It was a wall cabinet. It was embedded in the wall and did not take up much space. When you open it, you will see that the cabinet is not small. It is full of large and small objects. Master Jiu is right at least one thing.
Something to occupy your time.
Luo Tian took out a colored glaze flower ball. Glazed is an ancient Chinese material. Its use has a history of 2467 years. It has been exclusively used by the royal family since ancient times. There are extremely strict grade requirements for users, so there are few civilians.
You see, this glass flower ball is round, with the shape of a flower carved inside. Carving on the outside is common, but the inside of the glass can be finely carved, which is similar to a snuff bottle. "What a delicate craftsmanship!"
Luo Tian praised.
According to legend, colored glaze was discovered by Fan Li when he supervised the creation of the King's Sword in 493 BC. Fan Li believed that this material was the ultimate achievement of the yin and yang of heaven and earth, so he dedicated it along with the sword to the King of Yue. The King of Yue was grateful for the merits of forging the sword.
The original thing was returned and this magical substance was named "Li".
After that, Fan Li visited skilled craftsmen and made "Li" into a beautiful piece of jewelry, which he gave to Xi Shi as a token of love. According to legend, this was the earliest colored glaze in the world. The war started in the same year, and Xi Shi was even more defeated. Xi Shi was forced to go to the Kingdom of Wu.
After getting married, the "Li" was returned when parting. According to legend, Xi Shi's tears still dripped on this "Li", and the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon were moved by it. You can still see Xi Shi's tears flowing in it, and later generations called it "Li".
"Liu Li", today's "Liu Li" is the homophony of this name, and evolved from it.
Colored glaze is a valuable work of art for two reasons: First, the material of ancient colored glaze is special, and its production process is quite complicated. It comes from fire and goes into water, and it requires dozens of processes to complete. Some of them are light production processes.
It takes ten to twenty days, and it mainly relies on manual work. It is quite difficult to control each link, and the difficulty of controlling the heat can be said to depend half on skill and half on luck. The yield of the finished product alone is only 70%.
More importantly, ancient colored glaze is not recyclable, which means that once there is a slight problem, tens of days, dozens of processes, and many people's efforts will be immediately wasted. Secondly, colored glaze is not only a material;
A cultural product, and more importantly, a glass product is unique, and no two glass products are exactly the same.
Luo Tian saw the swallow stone next to him: "There are even swallow stones. The old guy really put a lot of effort into it."
This swallow stone is a fossil, in fact it is a trilobite fossil. Some people played with it in the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties and called it Duofu stone and Hongfu stone. It has been recorded in the notes of the Song Dynasty, and also in Cao Zhao's "Gegu Yaolun" of the Ming Dynasty.
Detailed description. The characteristics of the swallow stone are: quaint color, gentle appearance and texture, insect-like body; special color pattern, full of natural interest. It is a thousand volumes of human books, recording the vicissitudes of nature, which is thought-provoking.
Yanzi Stone is different from fossils found in other places. It is not a complete insect body fossil, but only the hard part of the insect body was fossilized during the formation process. The saddle of this part of the fossil is curved like a bow. The two arch spines are twice as large as the body.
The bow is like a wing and integrated into one body, and the body is as small as a swift, so it is called the swallow stone.
"Golden snail." Luo Tian shook his head: "This is the first time I have seen it."
The golden snail is actually a mollusk of the family Gastropodidae. The shell is oval in shape, and the shell is involute. The shell mouth is long and narrow, the outer and inner lips have fine teeth, and the radula is shaped like a radula. The mantle is thin and the two
Leaf-shaped, the living body almost completely covers the shell. The spiral part almost disappears when it reaches adulthood, and the adult body is intact. The shell surface is smooth, and under strong light, it will emit a deep pink or golden luster. Luo Tian wanted to hold the treasure snail to the
Looking at the sunshine, he realized that there would only be light in this room and there would be no sunshine. Luo Tian sighed, turned on the light in the room, and played with the light.
Luo Tian put the golden conch back. Next to the golden conch was the brandy vortex. The shell of the white vortex is smooth or has longitudinal ribs, but there are few spiral carvings. The shell mouth is wide, and the inside is covered from the shaft lip.
They are covered with hard skin and have axial folds. Most lack a mouth cover. The radula has only a central tooth or one lateral tooth on the left and right. The shell is solid and light, with eye-catching and unique surface patterns. The shell is slender, moderately enlarged, and the conical tower is high. The body
The shell accounts for most of the total shell length. The top of the shell is wide and round, and there is a small thorn at the top. The shell mouth is long and narrow, and the end is connected to the upturned deep front water pipe groove. There are 4-5 channels on the screw shaft.
The shell surface is folded and has thin and wide longitudinal folds. The shell surface is milky yellow, with 4 brown whorls on the body layer and connected with the angular pattern, and the front of the shell mouth is pink.
"Very good." Luo Tian felt like he was crazy. He closed the cabinet door angrily and shook his head: "Luo Tian, Luo Tian, you have today too!"
Luo Tian looked at the time. There were still three hours. Three hours. Every minute and every second was so difficult. Luo Tian turned around in the room, lay down on the floor again, closed his eyes and took a nap.
After a while, when he woke up again, it was almost eleven o'clock. Luo Tian murmured: "Come on, third child, you are not playing tricks on me, are you?"
Luo Tian opened the cabinet and took a closer look. Just as he was about to take out one more thing to play with, someone knocked on the door and a voice asked: "Mr. Luo, the island owner asked me to ask if you have any antiques that you like. He
Someone will be sent over."
Gifting antiques? Luo Tian was stunned and immediately understood: "Yes, of course."
