Chapter 993

After talking about the texture of gourd, Chu Chen talked about the other two factors to judge whether the gourd is good or bad, the skills of gourd pyrography, and the composition and content of gourd pyrography. In these two aspects, Wang Ruyang's brand gourd is also very excellent.

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Wang Ruyang was very happy. Zhou Wenping said with a smile: "Lao Wang, when did you like to twist gourd?"

Wang Ruyang said with a smile: "I am also influenced by my father-in-law. Some time ago, he saw his friends play with hand twirling gourds and bought some to play with. Since then, he has been out of control and let me play with them. But you know what I like all the time is painting and calligraphy. I don't know anything about it, so I haven't bought it. "

"I just saw this gourd at a stall after watching the excitement. I thought it was good and the price was cheap, so I bought it. I didn't expect to get your affirmation from Mr. Chu. What a surprise! "

In fact, the reason why Wang Ruyang bought this gourd is not only that he really liked it, but also that every time he went back to his father-in-law, his father-in-law always asked him if he had bought a hand twisted gourd, which made him a little impatient, so he just bought a top up, but he didn't expect to get Chu Chen's affirmation, which surprised him very much.

Many people's love for antiques starts from getting a good collection. Wang Ruyang is just like that at this time, and he likes to buy hand twisted gourd casually. It's fun, which makes him feel that collecting hand twisted gourd should be a good choice in the future.

So, Wang Ruyang asked: "teacher Chu, if it's a normal hand twisting gourd, how should I choose?"

Chuchen replied with a smile: "the biggest feature of hand twisting gourd is" small ". Of course, the smaller the better. Generally, hand twist gourds are less than 8 cm, most of them are 4-6 cm in height, while fine hand twist gourds are 3-5 cm in size. Of course, the size of the head is best suited to the palm of your hand, and it's better to hold it comfortably. "

"In addition, a beautiful and small gourd in your hand, the first pleasure is your mood. So when you pick the gourd, you should carefully observe the overall appearance of the gourd in addition to the size. This is about the same as the selection of branded gourds, and we should also pay attention to whether there are scratches and the like, and the skin should be dried thoroughly. "

"Hand twisted gourd is not expensive, but it costs at least a few yuan. Now even some people cheat on food, let alone hand twisted gourd. Therefore, there is another point to pay special attention to. Some gourds with too white skin may have been soaked in liquid medicine, so you must polish your eyes when you buy them. "

Speaking of this, Chu Chen pointed to Wang Ruyang's gourd and said, "in fact, it's a pity that you are a gourd."

"Which point?" Wang Ruyang asked.

"The biggest feature of hand twisted gourd, which is different from mingchong gourd, is that it is born with a" dragon head ". What I call the dragon head is the vine on the top of the gourd. To judge the quality of the gourd, we must first have a good dragon head."

Chu Chen said: "the gourd is naturally made. Its unique shape and growing tendi make it lifelike and interesting. Therefore, when you choose to twist the gourd, you must have a leader. Otherwise, the value of the gourd will be greatly reduced. Like your gourd, it used to have a tap, but I don't know what cut it off, which can be seen from the trace. "

"Fortunately, the painting aspect of your gourd is very good. Although its value has some influence, it is not too big."

Hearing this, Wang Ruyang quickly put the gourd in front of his eyes and found that it was really like what Chu Chen said, which made him feel a little sorry. If he also understood that the gourd was cheap, there was a reason why it was cheap.

At this time, Zhou Wenping asked, "Lao Wang, how much did you spend on this gourd?"

"This number." Wang Ruyang made a comparison.

Chuchen said with a smile: "it's still very cheap. It's possible to be two or three times as tall when you meet someone you like."

Of course, the reason why it can be so much higher is also because of the low base.

Wang Ruyang waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm going to collect this gourd. I don't intend to transfer it."

It's rare to buy a small gourd for the first time. It's very commemorative, and Wang Ruyang doesn't lack hundreds or thousands of yuan. Of course, he won't sell the gourd.

After chatting for a while, Wang Ruyang said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, I'm here today. In fact, I want to invite you to participate in a small party as an expert."

"What party?" Chu Chen asked.

Wang Ruyang said with a smile: "it's a little party between me and some Tibetan friends. It's estimated that there will be some transactions during the party, so I'd like to ask you to comment on it."

Chu Chen said, "Mr. Wang, the main category of your collection is calligraphy and painting. I'm not very proficient in this area."

Wang Ruyang said with a smile: "Miss Chu, you are too modest. Last time you went to Beijing TV station to record a program, I happened to be there. I admire your comments on the same painting and calligraphy."

Chu Chen smiles when he hears the speech. The painting and calligraphy expert invited by the TV station at that time didn't know what he ate at noon. In the afternoon, he had diarrhea all the time, so he made him a guest star.Wang Ruyang then said, "besides, we also invited Mr. Lu chuanxiong, a senior apprentice of the District, to be responsible for the porcelain."

Chu Chen nodded and went to such a party, which not only opened his eyes, but also was a good opportunity to expand his contacts. He promised to come down, but there was one thing he had to confirm.

So he asked, "Mr. Wang, I'm going out for a long trip tomorrow. It's estimated that I won't be back for a week to ten days. If the time is not right, please excuse me for not being able to attend."

As mentioned earlier, although Chu Chen did not fully recognize the information on the remaining treasure map, he was able to know the location of the treasure by this. In order to avoid long dreams, Chu Chen decided to go there as soon as possible to find the treasure.

Wang Ruyang said: "our party is scheduled for July 13th. Do you have time that day?"

Chu Chen thought about it and said, "there should be nothing wrong. Otherwise, I will call you a few days in advance if there is something wrong."

"OK, OK, then we'll be waiting for you." Wang Ruyang smiles and tells Chu Chen the time and place of their party.

…………

After lunch the next day, Chu Chen and Zuo Shan went to the airport with their luggage. Wu Ke didn't go with her because she wanted to turn her theoretical knowledge into practical experience as soon as possible.

The location of the treasure map is located in the xiazhou mountain area of Jingchu, close to the place where wild people often haunt.

After getting off the plane, chuchen and Zuoshan took a taxi at the airport to the hotel they had already reserved.

Taxi drivers are also good talkers. They may think that chuchen and Zuoshan are here for tourism, which is just a good talk. Because of his occupation, Chu Chen didn't care about it. During this period, he also happened to know more about xiazhou city through the driver.

Originally, xiazhou should be a small city in chuchen's impression. At most, it is as big as a small and medium-sized city. However, through the explanation of the driver and the information along the way, he found that he underestimated xiazhou. He didn't know how big it was. However, he felt that he would not be able to walk around the city in a day or two.

Moreover, after the driver's introduction, Chu Chen knew that xiazhou was the largest city in Jingchu except Jiangcheng, and the local people also said that Jiangcheng would be directly under the jurisdiction sooner or later. At that time, the capital of Jingchu was not xiazhou. Although Chu Chen didn't know whether it was true or not, it at least reflected the status of xiazhou in Jingchu.

After settling in his luggage at the hotel, Chu Chen saw that it was still early, and told Zuo Shan that if he went to visit the riverside, he could also enjoy the customs of xiazhou.

It's only ten minutes' drive from the hotel to the bank. Now it's the season of Yichang gorge. It's neither cold nor hot. In the evening, the park on the riverside is the best place to take a walk. It's very pleasant to look at the river flowing quietly and enjoy the river breeze. Of course, such a good place is also the first choice of lovers, the probability of success must be very high.

Just across the road from the riverside park is another scene. There are many stalls. After a short stroll by the riverside, Chu Chen saw that there were already many friends there, and he heard that even in the middle of the night, business was booming there.

When they were hungry, they went to join the ranks of tasting delicious food. Although it's a big food stall here, it's not easy to eat. It's the most distinctive river fish, crayfish and duck head in xiazhou. With beautiful scenery and delicious food, it's really a fairy like life. No wonder xiazhou has become a well-known livable city in China.

The next day, chuchen and Zuoshan took the prepared equipment to a small mountain village near their destination by car, and then went on foot to the location of the treasure.

For the sake of confidentiality, Chu Chen never said the purpose of this trip to xiazhou, and Zuo Shan never asked.

However, as he retired at any time, Zuo Shan became more and more curious. When he got off the bus, he found that it was just an ordinary small mountain village, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was no place to play around. He could no longer help his doubts and asked, "little Chu, what are we here for?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "I thought you could not help asking."

Zuo Shan scratched his head and laughed.

He has been in contact with Zuoshan for quite a long time. Chu Chen is quite sure that Zuoshan is not the kind of person who sees money with open eyes. It is because of this that he brings Zuoshan here. Otherwise, he would rather come to xiazhou alone than put himself in danger.

So chuchen said with a smile, "Zuoshan, do you believe I have a treasure map?" Do you want to know more about Jianbao life?
