After listening to Liu Sizhe's explanation, Dong pangzi and Zhang Yanbin understand what kind of jade topaz is.
Then, Zhang Yanbin observed the crab with a flashlight. Then he suddenly thought of a question and asked, "I said Xiao Chu, how did you know that the crab would be made of topaz?"
Chuchen Chuyi smile, he had thought of a good speech, asked for the jade crab, pointed to a joint of the crab's foot, said: "you see here!"
The three quickly gathered together and found that the color of the place Chu Chen pointed to was different from the color beside him. It was the color of authentic topaz.
"This Brother Chu, your eyesight is really good. Can you find it all? " Dong fat man some gape to say.
Chuchen waved his hand with a smile: "of course, I didn't find it all at once. You didn't see it. When I picked up this crab just now, I stopped for a while!"
After listening to Chu Chen's words, the three of them thought about it. They all felt that there was such a thing. They could not help sighing that the opportunity was really for those who were prepared.
"Oh
Liu Sizhe stared at the place and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he was excited and said, "I know. This jade crab must have been treated. I said, how can this jade crab feel without the texture of jade? It turns out that's what happened! "
Dong pangzi and Zhang Yanbin also reflected that without treatment, it was impossible for the two places to have such different performance, which was obviously caused by the fact that when the treatment layer was made, the liquid medicine and other things were not applied in place.
Chuchen nodded with a smile and said, "yes, it should have been coated with a layer of material and then buried in the soil to make the earth look so serious. Later, we'll go shopping and deal with this jade. It should show its true colors."
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Dong fatty can't wait to say.
Chu Chen saw his eagerness and said with a teasing smile, "fat man, why aren't you hungry?"
"Gulu!"
Dong chubby chuckled. When he was about to say something, his stomach began to cry, which immediately made everyone laugh.
"Well, let's go to dinner first. Let's talk about this after dinner..."
Burmese food is closer to South Asian flavor. The main dishes are stew, curry stew and lettuce, supplemented by fried fish, and a large number of onions and lemons. There is little stir fry. Tableware is mainly plates and spoons.
Restaurant meals are divided into dishes, one for each person, and then a plate of common lettuce. Lettuce is a local specialty with tropical rainforest flavor. It is chewed raw without any oil and salt seasoning.
If that's the case, Chu Chen and others may not be used to eating. Fortunately, the restaurant Zhang Yanbin took us to was opened by Chinese Americans. The Chinese Americans in Yangon will creatively combine Chinese food with Burmese food. In this way, it not only has the characteristics of Burmese food, but also makes Chu Chen and others get used to eating and eat very comfortably.
However, when chuchen ate, he also found a phenomenon. In the nearly one hour they ate, there were only nine people at chuchen's table in such a big restaurant. There are more waiters serving food, more singers and dancers in the restaurant.
This made Chu Chen feel a little strange. When he asked later, he found out that this was a common phenomenon because the local income was not high. Generally speaking, the attendance rate of restaurants was only 2% or 30%.
Moreover, the price of the restaurant is not expensive. They order a lot of dishes, but the cost of a person is only 30 to 40 RMB. With such a high occupancy rate and such a low price, Chu Chen really can't understand how these restaurants are maintained.
After dinner, under the guidance of the young man who went to the airport to meet them, Chu Chen bought the raw materials for cleaning jade crabs in a chemical store for a while, and then the party returned to the hotel.
"Ah! Why don't you play a little longer? "
As soon as they got to the door of the hotel, they met Zhao Qirui and others who had just finished their meal.
"You don't know, brother Chen has found another big leak!" Liu Sizhe exaggerates a little and tells everyone what happened just now.
When Zhao Qirui heard that Chu Chen had bought something from Lu Zigang, he couldn't wait to say, "ah Chen, where are the things? Show me
"It's still a little humble now. I hope you won't be disappointed." Then Chu Chen took out the things.
The jade that hasn't been processed is really as inconspicuous as Chu Chen said. After Zhao Qirui and others looked at it, they felt that it didn't look like something made by Lu Zigang. It wasn't until Liu Sizhe showed them what Chu Chen had just pointed out that this jade was actually made of topaz.
This makes Yihong Guoda dare to be interested and hasten to say: "go! Let's go and wash off the things on it. "
Next, everyone came to chuchen's room. Then chuchen took out the bottles and cans he had just bought, mixed a glass of translucent green looking liquid with tools according to a certain proportion, and threw the jade crab in.Chu Chen took off his gloves and said with a smile, "well, we just have to wait another two hours."
"Another two hours!" When Dong pangzi heard that it would take two hours, he couldn't wait.
Seeing this, Liu Sizhe said with a smile, "what's your hurry, fat man? It's worth millions of things. What if the medicine is too thick and damages the things? Are you going to pay for it? "
Dong fatty smell speech some embarrassed of scratched head.
Zhao Qirui said with a smile: "well, anyway, we have nothing to do, just wait..."
Because of the jade in front of us and the jadeite plate tomorrow, a group of young and old people feel that there's something they can't talk about. Two hours of talking and laughing like this is fleeting.
Chuchen first poured out a basin of clear water, then fished out the jade ware in the turbid liquid medicine with tweezers, and then put it into the clear water.
In a flash, everyone put their eyes into the clear water, and saw a touch of sweet yellow and pure color as delicate as pistil, reflecting the clear water into a different landscape.
The crab, as the protagonist, is fat and oily. The crab has round eyes, eight feet and two big claws. It looks so magnificent, and the material of topaz makes it very cute.
This let Chu Chen see at a glance, in the heart can't help but produce a kind of feeling that can't put it down.
"This is the best chicken oil yellow which is rarer than the white jade with mutton fat!" After half a sound, Yihong country can't help sighing.
Hearing the speech, Dong Puzi butted Liu Sizhe next to him with his elbow and asked in a soft voice, "why is chicken oil yellow? Didn't you just say that it's yellow Mou steamed chestnut?"
Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "fat man, you should read more books. In ancient times, we didn't use the word" chicken oil "but" steamed chestnut ". Cao Pi, the Wei emperor, wrote a book with Zhong Dali: "when I saw a jade book, it was called beautiful jade, white as fat, black as pure lacquer, red as chicken crown, and yellow as steamed chestnut." Therefore, my meaning is the same as that of Uncle Yi
At this time, Chu Chen fished out the jade from the clear water and wiped it carefully. When he saw the lifelike crab in his hand and the wonderful quality of the jade, he was amazed again and again.
"Let me see..."
Zhao Qirui took the crabs in his hand, and after a careful appreciation, he could not help sighing: "the image is flexible and exquisite, which fully reflects Lu Zigang's imitation of the Han Dynasty and the style of Song Dynasty. It is quite ancient, and also has his empty, floating and fine artistic characteristics. I think it is really Lu Zigang's true work!"
In this case, emptiness is the contrast between the virtual and the real, the appropriate density, so that people do not feel cumbersome, but have a sense of emptiness. Gone with the wind means sitting vividly and smoothly, which makes people feel dull and elegant. Fine, that is to say, the design is exquisite, so that people don't feel that it is crude and has a sense of craftsmanship.
It's just like the most famous jade carving by Lu Zigang. The water is like an immortal hairpin. It's very skillful. The stems and branches under the receptacles are as thin as hair, showing the delicate state of the flowers. It's hard to imagine that it's carved from jade.
The crab in front of us is obviously the same. Even if we look at it from a distance, if we don't pay attention, we won't think that the crab will be carved out of jade, which shows the craftsmanship of the maker.
The management of handicraft industry in Ming Dynasty was very strict with strict hierarchy. Even at the end of Ming Dynasty, when the "giant system" was dethroned, there was still a legacy. From the sculptor of this crab, we can see why Lu Zigang, a humble jade Carver, was regarded as a guest of honor by scholars in that social background.
Next, we took turns to appreciate it. We were all shocked by the extreme craftsmanship of this jade crab and the pure, lustrous, yellow and steaming quality of the jade.
"Ah
Everyone expressed their views on Lu Zigang's superb craftsmanship. At the end of the speech, Yi Hongguo sighed.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Qirui said with a smile: "I said, what are you doing with a sigh?"
Yi Hongguo spread out his hand and said, "what else can I do? I'm greedy for my younger martial brother's crab. You're OK. I live in Beijing. I'll go to see it whenever I want. I live in Shanghai stock market to watch this jade crab fly to Beijing. I don't know. I think my brain is broken!"
"If you say so, then I am not worse than you?" Wan said with a smile.
Zhao Qirui laughed and said, "if you have nothing to do, you can come to the capital to play, or you can just open a branch in the capital. Anyway, there are so many people in the capital, you don't have to be afraid of no business. Then there will be a reason to come over."
Yi Hongguo said with a smile: "it's not impossible, but how do I feel that it's stupid to open a shop just to see a crab..."
