Enamel color began in the late Kangxi period, and reached its peak from the Yongzheng period to the Qianlong period. However, the Yongzheng period had the highest level of enamel color and the most beautiful craftsmanship. During the Qianlong period, it gradually turned to pastels, so enamel color ended in the late Qianlong period.
..
Enamel is different from other crafts. This kind of thing cannot be fired by the people at all, so after the palace stopped firing, the craft was basically abandoned.
Until now, the enamel-colored firing technique has been lost for two hundred years, and only recently has someone revived the technique, so very few enamel-colored porcelains have been handed down to the world.
After seeing off Li Xiaoyi, Liu Xu and the others were busy with their own affairs. Han Kongque, who was free, walked into the backyard after carefully admiring the eight wine glasses.
Putting these eight treasures in a simple gift box is like a hidden gem.
In the backyard, he found a piece of red chrysanthemum wood. Han Peacock looked at a section of it, took out a carving knife, and directly hollowed out a wooden box to make a wooden box. There was a gap inside the box according to the size of the wine glass, to imitate the eight cups.
After placing the wine glasses, Han Kongque saw that there was still some good red chun wood left, and Han Kongque, who was reluctant to waste it, had an idea and took out the carving knife again.
His big hands were flying up and down like butterflies, and the carving knife in his hands seemed to be alive. Afterimages were drawn in the air, and sawdust fell one after another.
In a moment, what was originally a columnar piece of wood turned into a lifelike little girl. The little girl was dressed in a princess costume, with her fingers on her lips, and the curious expression on her face seemed to come to life.
After the carving was completed, Han Kongque was very proud when he looked at the statue of Xiaoxiao. He had previously carved one for Qian Mingyuan's granddaughter. Han Kongque had long wanted to carve one for Han Xiaoxiao, but he never took the time to do it.
I thought of it for the first time, and it just happened to fulfill my wish.
As Han Peacock's strength increased, not only Han Peacock's spiritual consciousness increased a lot, but also his strength also increased. It is not surprising that he can move his heart at will and carve so superbly.
Although Han's peacock carving skills were good in the past, he has not yet reached this state. Now he can enter a wonderful state at any time, as if his body and the carving knife are integrated into one, like an arm moving his fingers. His heart can move at will, every time
They can express their thoughts freely and sweatily.
As for the sudden improvement in his skill jump, Han Kongque can only attribute it to the improvement of his physical fitness, which has further improved his reaction sensitivity and control of power, and his mentality and life experience are also completely different.
It was getting dark. Dinner was almost ready. Xiaoxiao sat alone on the kang in the bedroom and watched TV.
Han Peacock gave her the wood carving, and she screamed in surprise with a dazzling smile on her face. She climbed onto Han Peacock's lap, chirped and kissed Han Peacock on the face as a reward.
Xiaoxiao was very excited after getting the little wooden figure and went out with the wooden carving, but soon Xiaoxiao ran back with Han Feng.
"Dad, I also want a little wooden man. Can you make one for me?" Han Feng looked at Han Peacock and said.
Han Peacock nodded and said, "Okay. I'll make one for you too."
When I came to the backyard, I held the knife, and after thinking for a moment, I started to cut. After a while, a handsome young man with short hair, wearing jeans, and his hands in his pockets appeared in front of him.
This one is as expressive as the smiling one just now. No matter who he looks at, Han Peacock can remember it at a glance and get it deep into his bones.
After arguing with Han Xiaoxiao and Han Fengxiao for a while, Liu Xu brought the dishes.
Today Han Rongrong and Han Rongguang went into the mountains again and hunted a lot of prey. All dishes were mainly rabbit or chicken.
The first one is a pot of pheasant stewed with mushrooms. I chose two relatively tender chickens. The mushrooms are cultivated in my own village, as well as wild mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms from the mountains.
Two little chickens were stewed in a large pot, and the aroma filled the air. At this time, everyone was already hungry, and some people's stomachs growled a few times.
As soon as Grandpa Han started to eat, no one from the whole family was polite. He threw away his chopsticks and compared them one by one, and in a moment a large bowl went into everyone's stomach.
Han Kongque took out two kilograms of aged wine, and now he had time to pour some for everyone. When drinking in rural areas, small wine glasses are generally not used, but tea bowls, which can hold two and a half cups. Fill one full first.
You can have as many bowls as you like, but this bowl is the minimum. If you drink too much, you can drink more.
When drinking in the village, no one will cheat or cheat, unlike people in the city who always push back when they are not happy enough.
The bigger the bowl, the more refreshing and fun it is. In the winter, sitting around the fire, eating large pieces of meat and drinking wine from a big bowl is a favorite among villagers.
When one pot is finished, the pot is removed and another pot is brought up.
This time it's not chicken or rabbit, but a large piece of meat specially made by Lao Han and stewed with radishes.
There is a saying that radish in winter is better than ginseng. Stew it with meat and cook it for a while until it becomes soft. It is nourishing and delicious. In winter, it is the most nutritious and oily food at home.
This time it was an authentic farm dish. No one was in a hurry. Everyone drank and ate at the same time. The two bottles of aged wine were quickly consumed by half.
None of the men in the family can drink, they are all big drinkers.
A small pot of stir-fried rabbit meat was served one after another. There was a lot of spicy food in it, and it was bright red in color, making you want to eat it without eating it.
When the little guy Han Feng saw the rabbit meat and fried beans on the table, he immediately picked up a pair of chopsticks and put it into his mouth. Even Han Feng looked like he wanted to stop him, but he didn't stop him.
Sure enough, as soon as Han Feng put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, he spat it out. He opened his mouth and fanned it with his hands. Han Peacock immediately handed over a tea bowl, and Han Feng drank it without looking at it.
This time it was terrible. Washing it down with white wine was like adding fuel to the fire, making it even more spicy and burning. From the lips to the throat and then to the stomach, it was like a fireball rolling across, burning and burning.
Tears and snot immediately flowed down uncontrollably, as if I was crying so sadly.
Han Feng couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and rushed into the kitchen.
"You kid, how could you harm your own son like this?" At this moment, everyone who had been stunned before realized what they were doing, and Mother Han slapped Han Kongque directly.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Didn't this boy make a noise about drinking just now? With this lesson, we will stop making noise in the future."
Zhou Meiren rolled her eyes at Han Peacock, but in the end she didn't say anything.
At this time Han Feng came out again, pointing at his open mouth, gasping loudly and unable to speak.
Mother Han immediately understood what was going on and quickly scooped up a ladle of water and handed it to him.
A few gulps of water relieved the pain.
After drinking some more water and taking a sip in my mouth, the burning sensation became less obvious.
I washed my face and came out of the kitchen with a mouthful of water still in my mouth.
Everyone reacted so horribly when they saw Han Feng take a bite of this dish. Several pairs of chopsticks that had been stretched out were retracted, and they all looked at Mother Han. What's going on?
Lao Han laughed out loud when he saw everyone's reaction. He picked up a piece of bright red rabbit meat with his chopsticks and said, "Did you see this red color? This is not some kind of paint, but the color of chili pepper. This is real food."
Chili!
Even though it's so short, it's bright red in color and full of spiciness. It's what we call 'spicy to death without paying for your life'. People who can't eat spicy food should not use chopsticks, haha, otherwise they will be like Han Feng.
.”
Hearing this, some people felt relieved, took a chopstick and carefully put it in their mouths to taste it, while some people felt like putting down their chopsticks.
Han Peacock added a chopstick and put it into his mouth. It felt like it was definitely not on the same level as the chili he originally ate. This kind of chili was obviously spicier, but Han Peacock likes spicy food, so naturally the spicier the better.
Everyone who eats spicy food has their noses sweating. Coupled with the white wine, it feels like a fire is burning in the stomach. It is really a supreme enjoyment in this winter.
People who don't eat chili can only watch the spicy eaters feasting on their food, and want to try some chopsticks, but Han Feng's experience is really scary, so they can only watch others eat.
After Han Feng came out of the kitchen, she had a mouthful of water in her mouth. She stopped eating or drinking and sat down to calm down.
Then Mother Han brought over a pot of rabbit boiled with two tea leaves, and a large bowl of mashed garlic and soy, vinegar and spicy sauce. She didn't even need to use her chopsticks, she just tore off a piece with her hands, dipped it in the mashed garlic and juice, and handed it to Han.
Feng, eating it this way is not greasy and can whet people's appetite. It has a unique flavor.
Han Peacock tore off two pieces and then stopped and asked Old Han: "What happened to that chili just now?"
"Those peppers were brought back by Rongguang. They had not been planted before. This year I planted some. Unexpectedly, two of them were different from the others. They were not the common peppers we have here, but a short sharp corner.
But don’t look at Xiao Lawei, so I left some seeds from these two trees. If you are willing to eat them, I will plant more in the future." Lao Han said.
"Did I bring it back?" At this time, Han Rongguang looked at Old Han in surprise.
"Yes, it's the kind of pepper you brought back when you went to college that year. It was said to be very spicy, so I never planted it." Lao Han said.
"No wonder it's so spicy." At this moment, Han Rongguang suddenly realized.
"Is this kind of pepper special?" Han Peacock asked.
Han Rongguang said with a smile: "Of course it's special, otherwise I wouldn't have brought it back. We have a lot of water here, and it's better to eat more spicy peppers. So that year I encountered this kind of pepper, so I asked a classmate of mine
If you ask for some, this is still improved. If it is the authentic devil pepper, it will be spicy to death."
"Devil pepper? The hottest pepper in the world?" Han Peacock and Liu Xu were both surprised this time. The two of them were human encyclopedias, so they naturally knew what the devil pepper was.
"Asan Devil Pepper", also known as "Broken Soul Pepper", is produced in the eastern part of Asan. It was recognized as the hottest pepper variety in the world by Guinness in February 2007. (To be continued.)
