Three thousand years ago, there was an ancient sea. Three hundred years ago, it was still sparkling. Thirty years ago, there were still duck ponds and willow forests. But today, thirty years later, there is only a desert and a bald ridge.
A pair of dull eyes and two chapped lips!
This is the most realistic description of Qingtu Lake in the past few years. However, a lot has been restored there now, but it is not enough to restore its previous splendor. It is very similar to Luo Bu Nur, but it is better than Luo Bu Nur.
The area of Bupu is much smaller.
"Is this really the case?" Qin Mingyue asked doubtfully.
She is very clear about domestic affairs. If Qingtu Lake is really managed, how can it be so peaceful? I am afraid that this achievement has long been blown to the sky.
"I don't know about this, but our employee told me that the quality of Qingtu Lake black wolfberry is quite good, completely comparable to Qaidam black wolfberry. This is determined by the climate characteristics of Qingtu Lake." Jin
The demon said with a smile.
"This time we go over and go to Qingtu Lake first. If it really turned into a desert and can now restore the lake area, it will be an example for us. If we learn from it, we can manage Lop Nur." Liu Catkin
road.
"That place is absolutely right. There are a lot of black wolfberry there now. Even if we build a black wolfberry breeding base there, it would be very good." Jin Yao said.
Qingtu Lake has a typical temperate desert climate. During the ripening season of black wolfberry, the highest temperature during the day is over 40 degrees in the summer, and only a dozen degrees at night. The temperature difference between day and night is very large. There are more than 14 hours of sunshine during the day, and very few rainy days, so the light is very bright.
adequate.
Therefore, the temperature during the day is high, the sunlight is strong, and the photosynthesis is very strong (synthesis), while the temperature at night is low and the respiration is weak (consumption). The subtraction of the two results in a large accumulation of effective substances in the plant, and naturally the quality of black wolfberry is high.
Black wolfberry can be seen everywhere in Qingtu Lake. It grows especially in large areas on wasteland. Now the locals have realized the value of black wolfberry and pick it in large quantities every year, waiting for buyers to come and buy it.
Since there are quite a lot of wastelands in Qingtu Lake, the production of black wolfberry is naturally quite large.
But there is a weakness: in order to pursue picking speed, farmers often use pruning method to pick, and ripe fruits are picked together. The products often contain a certain proportion of raw fruits and damaged fruits, which affects the quality.
Jin Yao said: "Black wolfberry is a famous desert ecological plant, which has a strong windproof and sand-fixing effect. It is naturally protected by relevant local functional departments. Destructive picking methods such as pruning should be banned or improved to avoid damaging the local original
It’s a pretty fragile ecosystem.”
Han Kongque said with a smile: "It's still manual work. The labor cost is too high, so the branches will naturally be pruned. If the labor cost can be reduced, or the price of black wolfberry increases again, this situation can be avoided."
During the Chinese New Year, relatives and friends usually gather together to eat and drink. Apart from some of Han Peacock's subordinates, the most numerous are his relatives and friends, his three sworn brothers, two sisters, plus Liuxu's god-sister Huo Ling'e's family.
Every time someone comes to the house, a large number of people have to be invited. This does not matter what Han Peacock said. They naturally have to warmly entertain guests when they come. This is Lao Han's right, so he will naturally make arrangements.
Just like that, it was the New Year's Eve before they knew it. At this time, Li Xiaoyi and Han Xing walked into Han Kongque's house.
The two of them needed to communicate with Han Peacock on some matters a year ago, but most of them were the distribution of benefits and other chores, which Han Peacock directly handed over to Han Xing to handle.
In this way, Han Peacock felt relaxed, but Han Xing was miserable. Even during the New Year, he would not be able to relax.
"You are really cunning." Han Xing left. Li Xiaoyi sat aside and said to Han Peacock.
"If I have done everything, what do I need you subordinates to do?" Han Kongque looked at the increasingly powerful Li Xiaoyi and said.
Li Xiaoyi sat relaxedly on the sofa, leaning lazily on the backrest. She grabbed a handful of black wolfberries in her hand, stuffed them into her mouth one by one, and ate them.
"This thing is good for soaking in water or wine, but I'm really not used to eating it like this." Looking at Li Xiaoyi and Liu Xu, they all eat this way, Han Peacock feels weird, it's really like this.
tasty?
"Do you feel bad after eating so few wolfberries? Well, this is my New Year's gift to you. It's enough to buy a whole house of these things." As he said that, Li Xiaoyi kicked a small gift box next to him.
Han Kongque was happy when he saw it: "I've seen this thing a long time ago. Why, do you, Li Xiaoyi, really know how to give gifts?"
"It belongs to my younger brother. I originally thought that guy was incompetent and didn't know how to adapt. I didn't expect that he already knew how to give gifts in just a few days. The world is really declining!" Li Xiaoyi smiled and shook his head, as if he was very disappointed with the world.
.
Liu Xu smiled and said: "That brother of yours? He didn't come back?"
Li Xiaoyi also laughed heartily: "He found a girlfriend. She seems to be majoring in oceanography. He wants to ask his eldest brother to transfer his job. I heard that they think the moon abroad is round, so they really hope to work abroad. Even if we are
It’s okay to plant it half abroad.”
"So you gave me a gift? What did you give me? I won't accept it if it's not good." Han Peacock smiled and opened the small gift box on the table.
"Looking at what my silly brother means, you must like it. This should be something someone helped him look for. If not, I'm afraid I won't be able to bring it to you." Li Xiaoyi said.
"You didn't see it?" Liu Xu frowned and said, not because she didn't trust Li Xiaowen, but because she was afraid that he would be taken advantage of. In Liu Xu's perception, Li Xiaowen was far behind Li Xiaoyi, that is, he was just a long-term person.
He is a straightforward person with a very easy-to-deceive face.
"It's okay. I've had someone check it carefully. There's no danger." Li Xiaoyi said with a smile.
"Eh? These are enamel colors? Eight enamel wine glasses with four seasons flowers?" Han Kongque looked at the contents of the small gift box. He didn't take it seriously at first, but when he saw it clearly, he was really surprised.
"Painting enamel?" Liu Xu was also surprised.
Painted enamel is one of the varieties of enamelware, generally referring to painted enamel on a copper body, also known as "foreign porcelain".
Painted enamel can also be made of other metals, such as gold painted enamel, silver painted enamel, etc.
The derivative varieties of painted enamel include: painted enamel on porcelain body (i.e. enamel colored porcelain), painted enamel on glass body, etc. In addition, the production process of painted enamel is also called painted enamel.
These small wine glasses are all made of porcelain. You can tell that they are high-quality products without looking closely. That's why Han Kongque was surprised that each piece of such enamel is different. It is not easy to get eight pieces together.
"Enamel? Is it French enamel?" Qin Mingyue also asked curiously.
"This really originated in France." Liu Xu said with a smile.
Painting enamel originated in France, Western Europe, and was introduced to China via Guangdong Province in the 16th century by European merchants and missionaries. It was first manufactured in Guangdong Province, where it was called "Shaoqing" or "Cantonese Enamel".
"Is this a painting enamel from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty?" Liu Xu said after looking at it carefully for a while.
The extremely exquisite craft of enamel was loved and valued by the emperors as soon as it entered China. Emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty all set up enamel workshops in the palace building office and Guangdong Province, and selected outstanding enamels from Guangdong Province many times.
Painting and enamel craftsmen came to Beijing to work in large quantities, and all their enamel products were enjoyed by the royal family.
"You know this too?" Although they knew that Liuxu was a talented woman, Zhou Mei and Qin Mingyue really didn't know that Liuxu actually knew antiques.
Li Xiaoyi laughed a few times and said nothing. Li Xiaoyi knew a little about Liuxu and how Liuxu's memory was improved. She also had this method. Of course, Bai Xiaoyi's women also had it. However, their improvement
Although the body is obvious, it is obviously not as good as catkins.
Han Kongque said: "This is the painting enamel from the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty. The four pieces here are obviously made during the Kangxi period. However, I'm afraid you can't tell where they were made from the catkins."
"This should not be made by the Qing Palace Manufacturing Office, but a high-quality painting enamel from Guangdong Province that was paid tribute in the early days." Liu Xu said with certainty.
"Haha, I knew you would say that." Han Peacock said, shaking his head.
"Isn't it right?" LiuXu asked.
Enamel products reached their peak in the Kang, Yong and Qian dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. After the decline of the late Qing Dynasty and the wars of the Republic of China, they gradually became rare.
The capital is famous for cloisonné enamel (commonly known as cloisonne), and Guangdong province is famous for painted enamel. The craftsmanship in the north and the south have their own characteristics, and they are both the two treasures of traditional Chinese enamel craftsmanship, well-known at home and abroad.
"How did you see this?" Qin Mingyue felt amazing. Just by looking at it, she could tell what period it was from and where it was made. She was usually envious of this ability. Now, even though she has memorized a lot of knowledge, but
She still couldn't understand how Han Peacock could easily determine the origin of these things.
Han Kongque said: "You are taking it for granted. Although Guangdong Province produces a lot of high-quality painted enamels, the high-quality painted enamel porcelain in the palace may not necessarily come from there as tribute."
"How can you be sure?" Qin Mingyue asked.
Han Kongque explained: "You will know if you take a closer look. The enamel-colored porcelain of the Kangxi period was in its infancy. From the color matching, decorative layout to the content and style of the inscriptions, they all imitated the effect of painted enamel on copper bodies at that time. This is very interesting.
clear.
But have you noticed that the four wine glasses here are made of reverse porcelain. Do you know what reverse porcelain is? It is white porcelain provided by Jingde-Zhenyu Kiln Factory. Only the inside of the vessel and the inside of the base are glazed.
, the outer wall of the utensil is unglazed, which is commonly known as 'anti-porcelain'.
Most of the exterior murals use yellow, blue, red, pea green, purple and other colors as the ground, and then use various colors of color materials to depict entangled peonies, roses, lotus and other floral patterns with the double hook technique, with flowers but no birds.
There are also birthday wishes such as "Wan", "Shou", "Longevity", "Spring", etc. written in the four flowers respectively. The style is rigorous and gorgeous. The color materials used are imported from the West, but this kind of painting is made by the palace.
It is provided by the Ruyi Pavilion under the office." (To be continued.)
