Chapter 161 Boss, have you gone to the deep mountains? (eight more)
Professor Fan became obsessed with sea fishing, or in other words, with the sense of accomplishment of sea fishing.
A bucket full of seafood was all caught by her! Not to mention how heroic and satisfying she felt.
Until the sunset, when Lin Guodong returned to pick them up, he still couldn't bear to leave.
"I really want to live here until the end of the summer vacation and then go back." Professor Fan sighed, "It's a pity that I have to invigilate the exam! I suspect that Chang Shengli deliberately cheated me. There are so many teachers in the school, how can I be the only one left behind as the invigilator? Humph! I won't give it to him when I go back.
Eat seafood!”
Who is Chang Shengli?
Xu Suizhu asked Xia Mingli with her eyes.
Xia Mingli pursed her lips and snickered, leaned close to her and whispered, "Dean of the School of Economics and Management."
As a student who often runs errands for Dean Chang, who has been single for many years, can you still guess what his old tree is blooming?
It's a pity that Professor Fan, who is quite content with the status quo of being unmarried, has not touched the string at all.
Xu Suizhu expressed deep sympathy for Dean Chang, whom he had never met.
In her view, once people regard non-marriage as an attitude, it is very difficult to change it. It requires not only perseverance and courage, but also an opportunity.
Back in the fishing village, Professor Fan wanted to share some of the caught seafood with Xu Suizhu's aunt and uncle, but they refused.
In the end, not only did we eat and stay, we also took a basket full of seafood back to the provincial capital.
There were no guests staying at home, so Suizhu took out the treasure box he had exchanged for bait, found tools and carefully picked the lock.
This time it is not a head or face, but a pair of long-necked gourd-shaped hollow pastel porcelain pieces.
At first glance, the refreshing emerald green background, the gold-inlaid edge decoration, and the candy-colored patterns carved with flowers, birds, fish, and insects all highlight the extraordinary origins of this pair of porcelains.
Xu Suizhu gently picked up one of them and admired it. He couldn't help but guess: What era is this product from? Before the reform? Before the Anti-Japanese War? Or the Republic of China and the late Qing Dynasty?
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. What did she see?
——A clear red stamp lies squarely at the bottom of the vase, which is "Qianlong Year System of the Qing Dynasty" engraved in regular script with six characters and three lines.
Xu Suizhu was so shocked that she almost dropped the vase in her hand, quickly put it back in the treasure box, pinched herself hard, hiss! It hurts!
So it’s not a dream! It’s real!
She really found a sunken ship that was most likely from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty!!!
For this reason, Xu Suizhu spent a Sunday without returning to the fishing village. He left the buns at his brother's sister-in-law's house and went to the county library to search for information related to Qing Dynasty porcelain.
From morning to afternoon, I didn't eat at noon. I took a few bites of the egg pancakes I baked when I was hungry, and drank a sip of water mixed with lemon paste when I was thirsty.
Finally, she found an old document called "Maritime Silk Road".
Documentary records: The Maritime Silk Road, also known as the "Sea Ceramics Road" and the "Sea Spice Road", sprouted in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, developed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, formed in the Qin and Han Dynasties, flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and transformed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is the oldest known sea route. my country’s Maritime Silk Road is divided into two routes: the East China Sea route and the South China Sea route, with the South China Sea as the center...
Xu Suizhu became more and more excited as she watched.
Turning to the back, I saw this paragraph again: "The East China Sea route, also known as the 'Oriental Maritime Silk Road'. It was suspended in the early Qing Dynasty due to Western colonization and the Qing government's seclusion policy and the implementation of sea bans. In the 24th year of Kangxi's reign, it was reopened.
Maritime ban, resumption of trade... In the 49th year of Qianlong's reign, the American merchant ship "Queen" came to China for trade, bringing American native products, thousands of tons of our country's tea, and thousands of tons of fine porcelain such as pastel porcelain that was popular at the time.
, hundreds of pieces of silk and cotton, tons of spices..."
Suppressing his excitement, Xu Suizhu rummaged through the neatly arranged bookshelves for documents on Qing Dynasty pastel porcelain.
Finally, in a thick and dusty book called "Ming and Qing Porcelain Appraisal", I found relevant records:
"... Qianlong pastel porcelain made a new breakthrough on the basis of Yongzheng pastel porcelain - part of it inherited the characteristics of the Yongzheng period in painting sparse and bright patterns on rich white glaze, and added colored pastels, that is, in the yellow
, green, red, pink, blue and other colors are used to roll out continuous patterns such as tangled honeysuckle or tangled vines on the ground with extremely fine tools..."
"There are also some pastel porcelains with green paint on the inner walls and soles, commonly known as 'green inside and green bottom'. It was popular until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China... The 'green inside and green bottom' during the Qianlong Dynasty was extremely light, and when viewed from the side, it was
There are very fine wrinkles on the glaze, like fine waves formed by the breeze blowing across a calm lake. The green color adheres very tightly to the white glaze, and there is almost no glaze explosion..."
Seeing this, she slowly exhaled a long breath.
Pastel porcelain! You can’t go wrong!
That day she looked closely at the belly of the vase against the light, and indeed saw the "green inside and green bottom" described in the literature.
In other words, the pair of vases in her hands are most likely imperial pastel porcelain fired at the official kiln during the Qianlong period.
Heads, porcelain, shipwrecks...
The sudden pie made her feel a little dazed.
Carrying these books, I went through the borrowing procedures, left the library, flagged down a Sanka bus heading towards the fjord, and meditated all the way back to the town.
"Teacher Xu, come in and sit for a while before you leave."
Passing by the student's home, the student's parents greeted him warmly.
"No, I have to pick up the child." Xu Suizhu declined with a smile.
The little buns were left at my brother-in-law's house, and I didn't know if there was any trouble for a day.
"Oh, let's play with our children next time. Thanks to your advice, our children's English scores have improved a lot."
"No matter where it is, it's up to her to live up to her own expectations."
Xu Suizhu was concerned about the little bun and had no intention of chatting. Moreover, holding the books borrowed from the library in his hands, he almost ran all the way home.
He took out the key and was about to open the door when Lu Chixiao walked out from under the big locust tree at the entrance of the alley: "You're back?"
Xu Suizhu was startled, but when she turned around and saw it was him, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s only been a month since I last saw him, so how did he end up like this?—he has an unkempt beard, long, messy hair, and his skin has turned a shade darker.
"Did you go to the deep mountains and forests?"
"Absolutely." Lu Chixiao explained, wiping out the cigarette butts in his hand, "I don't usually smoke. I felt a little sleepy just waiting, so I bought a pack to refresh myself."
Xu Suizhu opened the door and invited him in: "Come here at this time. Do you want to see me for anything? Why don't you sit down for a while, and I will go to my sister-in-law's house to pick up Doudou."
"Shall I let my sister-in-law take it with me now?"
"No, Granny Lihua is usually here with me. Today is Sunday and Granny Lihua can't come to the mountain. My sister-in-law is resting at home, so I asked her to take care of her for the day."
"Well, then go pick it up quickly."
"I'll just put my things down and go."
The two of them walked into the courtyard gate one after another. They didn't pay attention to a dark figure flashing at the entrance of the alley. It was Shen Cuilian who periodically knocked on her mother-in-law's door but always came back cursing in vain. Seeing this scene from a distance, she left
Mouth muttering:
"Didn't you say that I sent him to the dead old woman because I had no one to take care of me? It's thirty yuan a month. It's really a lot of money and I have no place to spend it... The same goes for the dead old woman. She lives alone and still holds on to thirty yuan.
He also asked someone to warn Shengjun, why is this stingy old guy still alive..."
