Chapter 79

"Thank you, Mr. Liu. Then I'll be ungrateful."

The first thing that caught Chu Chen's eyes was the tea cup, which was actually a lemon yellow glazed tea cup. It looked thin, light and light. Its inner wall is white glaze, the outer wall is full of lemon yellow glaze, the glaze water is delicate, gentle and elegant, pure and flawless.

Although it is a modern work in terms of performance, it is undoubtedly a fine work in terms of body, glaze and shape. The craftsmanship of the producer ranks among the top in modern ceramic firing. This tea cup makes people love it at first sight. When you taste tea, it will bring out the best in each other.

Then look at the tea soup in the cup. It's wine red, but it's crystal clear, and a faint fragrance of tea wafts out. Chu Chen learned from his recent knowledge of tea ceremony that this should be a good tea soup made by Dahongpao, and the taste must be excellent.

Chu Chen couldn't wait to pick up the tea cup, but the back end reached the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently. Suddenly, a fresh aroma of peach permeated his heart, which made people feel refreshed. Moreover, after exhaling, he could even smell the faint fragrance. From this point, it shows that Liu's Dahongpao is not simple.

The aroma of tea soup alone had already made Chu Chen's saliva begin to secrete rapidly, which made him have the idea of drinking the tea soup in one gulp. However, tea is divided into three parts. If you don't taste it, how can you make such a good tea.

Carefully tasted three mouthfuls of tea soup, Chu Chen couldn't help but drink a lot in his heart, OK! The taste of this tea shows its texture and gives people a sense of smoothness. It's sweet before it feels bitter. After drinking it, it's full of aftertaste. It's refreshing and mellow. The fragrance of tea is overflowing and the aftertaste is meaningful.

Seeing Chu Chen's endless aftertaste, Liu said with a smile, "little Chu, how about my tea?"

Chuchen replied with a smile: "Mr. Liu, to tell you the truth, this tea is really wonderful. It's the best Dahongpao I've ever drunk. In four words, the soup is bright and bright with orange color. The baked fire is light and fragrant with peach and honey. It's sweet and smooth. The dragon looks happy. The king of Jiulong Keyan comes to taste it. Mr. Liu, take the liberty to ask, "isn't this tea from the mother tree?"

After hearing this, Mr. Liu laughed and said, "OK, Xiao Chu, you look like you are good at tea tasting. You are right. This is the tea from the mother tree."

Chu Chen said modestly: "Mr. Liu, you flatter me. I'm just a beginner of tea ceremony, and I'm not good at it at all. However, Mr. Liu, it's very kind of you to waste such good tea on me. "

Mr. Liu waved his hand and said with a smile, "what's wasteful? You're not inferior to others. Besides, tea is just for drinking. How can you show the essence of tea if you don't drink it? Of course, the people who come to me can only drink the Dahongpao if I can see it

Chuchen listened to what Liu said, and immediately he was very happy. He said in secret, "doesn't Liu say that he can see himself? In this way, maybe at that time, I will really be able to join Mr. Liu and sit down. Maybe, chuchen, you have to be competitive! "

Liu Lao and Liu Qinshu saw Chu Chen's joyful mood overflowing with words, and both of them had a knowing smile.

"Xiao Chu, do you know why I asked you to come here today?"

After hearing the speech, Chu Chen was stunned and immediately responded. He was pleasantly surprised and said, "Mr. Liu, is that Mr. Banqiao's work already mounted?"

Mr. Liu nodded and said with a smile: "yes, you're really clever, but it's also a coincidence that you chose the mounting time. It's just summer. The painting is fast, and my unique craft is almost finished. Xiao Chu, come and have a look. Are you satisfied? "

Chu Chen noticed that his bamboo and stone painting of Zheng Banqiao was not far from the left, so he followed Mr. Liu to the painting.

At this glance, Chu Chen immediately marveled at Liu's craftsmanship. Although he didn't know much about the mounting technique, he could still see that the mounting of this painting was really wonderful!

After being framed by Mr. Liu, the bamboo and stone painting is not only more antique, but also sets off the artistic conception of this bamboo and stone painting. It looks more beautiful than before, and makes people feel especially pleasing to the eye. No wonder, as the saying goes, painting in three parts and mounting in seven parts can be seen from this bamboo and stone picture.

"Mr. Liu, your skill is really excellent!" After reading it, Chu Chen gave Liu a thumbs up in admiration.

Mr. Liu was also very satisfied with his mounting. He said with a little satisfaction: "it's also your work. It's good for me to be young again. But you can't take away this painting. I have to deal with it a little bit."

Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "Mr. Liu, I'm not in a hurry. Besides, I promised you that I would keep my words for a month."

Liu said jokingly: "ha ha, you just have this heart. I'll keep it for a month. I'll be careful if I get rid of the painting."

After listening to Liu's words, Chu Chen said with a smile, "Liu, it doesn't matter. I still like what I said before, as long as I can see this work often."

Mr. Liu pointed to him with a smile: "you are also tired. OK, listen to Qinshu. What's important about you?"

"Sit down first, and let's talk about it."After seeing Liu sit down, Chu Chen took out the piece of paper and handed it to Liu: "Mr. Liu, take a look at this first."

Old Liu took the piece of paper and wondered what it was. As a result, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he was. Finally, with a serious face, he said, "Xiao Chu, where did you get this? Has anyone else seen it? "

Chu Chen simply told the story, and then said, "only Uncle Wu and I have seen the things recorded on it. We all think that only you can use the things written on it for the right way."

When Liu heard this, he was also relieved. He was most afraid that what was written on it would be spread, so he said jokingly: "you and Ziping, this is baking me on the fire!"

Chu Chen repeatedly waved his hand and said, "how dare we? We think that at this time, only a respected elder like you can solve this problem perfectly."

Mr. Liu said with a smile: "since Xiao Chu said so, I can only top this paper at the critical moment. Let's put this paper here first. Can you rest assured?"

"What's wrong with this? I don't intend to take back this paper. It was originally given to you. Don't worry. I'm sure I don't have a backup of this paper." At the end, Chu Chen's face was a little serious.

Liu Lao waved his hand and said with a smile: "well, Xiao Chu, don't be so serious. I still believe what you said, but you also threw me a hot potato, which made me nervous for a long time."

Chu Chen scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "ha ha, Mr. Liu, let's have a look at the two things I got from Xijing this time. It's also easy."

"Oh, I want to see, Xiao Chu, every time you bring something is not simple, this time it will not let me down?"

Liu opened Chu Chen's brocade box on the table, and a particularly beautiful Manjusri Bodhisattva came into view.

When Liu Qinshu saw the statue, he was surprised and said, "this is Yongxuan statue. Xiao Chu, you've got another heavy weapon!"

Chu Chen was surprised that Liu Qinshu's eyesight was so good that he got it right at a glance. He immediately put up his thumb and said with a smile:

"Aunt Liu, you really have no eyesight to say!"

"I don't have such good eyesight. It's just that every time you take something from Xiao Chu, it's amazing, so I guess it boldly." Liu Qinshu said with a smile.

Looking at the statue in his hand, Liu said with a smile: "Xiao Shu, you have a wrong attitude. How can you judge the authenticity of things by guessing? However, the things of Xiaochu are really good, with natural shape and full charm. This kind of craft is rare in Xuande period, so it is not only a genuine product, but also a rare treasure. "

Then, he said with admiration: "and you see, the appearance of this statue is so well preserved, and the gilding has hardly fallen off. It's really commendable. This kind of Yongxuan Buddha statues are not rare, but they are rare. Most of them are in the hands of major museums, and there are few private ones. "

"Dad, why is it so well preserved?" Liu Qinshu asked curiously.

After thinking about it, Mr. Liu said, "well, I think it has something to do with the culture of Tubo. Such statues were given to local eminent monks or nobles in those days. Because they believed in Buddhism, people there respected Buddhism very much. They would do their best to preserve them. Even if they were exiled at the beginning, the people who got them should also be people who respect Buddhism. "

At this point, Liu told chuchen: "Xiao Chu, now that you have it, you should take good care of it, just like the previous masters, so that they can respect the Buddha. By the way, I heard that you are not from Beijing, Xiao Chu. Where do you live now? Is it a rented house? "

Chu Chen was a little embarrassed and said, "yes, I'm still renting someone else's house. This time I went to Xijing and got some money. I'm going to buy a house. I also think that with a house, my antiques can be better preserved. "

"Yes, Xiao Chu, you think it's good. Moreover, the ancients also said that if you live and work in peace and contentment, you can better find your career. Have you ever thought about what kind of house you want to buy? " Old Liu asked him.

"Well, I used to like Siheyuan, but now when I see your old place, I feel this style, especially close to the feeling of home in my heart, so I decided to buy a residence with your style. Mr. Liu, do I have some ambitions? " Speaking of the end, Chu Chen was a little embarrassed.
