v2 Chapter 329： Evaluation knife

Until the last day, Zhang Heng still couldn't make a decision, which one should return to reality with that knife.

Zhang Heng thought for a while, and it was better to consult a professional with professional questions.

So he held Kiichi Izumi and Shuzumaru Hiroji, and by the way he brought the unknown Taisha that Koyama Akane brought to him, and came to Kyoto's most famous sword house.

Because he had been to see the knife before, and had specifically told him that the famous knives had been kept for him, the Fantou (shop manager) and the little monk (shop Xiaoer) had already known him.

When he saw him, he smiled immediately. "Master Abe, today is not the day for purchase. How can I be interested in coming here to play?"

Zhang Heng gave the opening monk Wuwen money, leaving the latter's mouth almost behind him.

"Ah, I'm not here to buy a knife, I have a few handles and I want to find someone to identify."

Fantou and Teshiro (senior manager) looked at each other and laughed.

"What?" Zhang Heng asked.

"It ’s a coincidence that you are here today. The boss is usually not in the shop. I do n’t know why today. I came here early. This is a good opportunity. There are no swords that the boss does not know. From masterpieces to weapons made by ordinary blacksmiths, he can tell it at a glance. "

"Is it so powerful?" Zhang Heng was surprised.

"So no matter what is related to the knife, just ask him. Of course, your knife must be able to get into his eyes." Fantou smiled.

"Only you don't have to worry about this, please recommend me." Zhang Hengdao.

"Come with me." Fantou took Zhang Heng to a tea room behind the knife house.

A skinny old man is making tea there.

"This guest wants you to comment on his sword," Fantou reminded.

"Tough work," the old man replied, nodding his thanks.

Fantou then exited the house, the old man pointed at the tatami on the ground, Zhang Heng saw it, and sat down and saluted. He had been in Japan for some time before a copy of Tokyo Drift, but at that time he did not emphasize etiquette as much as he does now. He basically sits wherever he wants.

Now I ’m living in the country, and I ’ve also learned a little about Japanese traditional sitting. The ankle and foot joints should be stretched as far as possible. The insteps and lower legs should be kept on a flat surface, attached to the mat, and supported by the heels and toes. Of course, it ’s not very comfortable. It is said that This sitting posture similar to corporal punishment also seems to have come from China.

But in China's subsequent history, it seems that few people have sat like this anymore.

The boss didn't talk about Zhang Heng's evaluation of the knife, and Zhang Heng wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, it's still early, half a day before the end of the copy, he was sitting there watching the boss make tea.

The Japanese tea ceremony is divided into two ancestors, matcha and sencha, but they are actually derived from China. The former originated from the Tang Dynasty and the latter originated from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Of course, they each developed in Japan. It is said that the earliest Tea seeds were brought back from the Nara era when studying abroad in China.

Qian Lixiu is a master, and his and Jing Qingji's thoughts have a great influence on later generations.

The boss obviously knows this a lot, and he can light up the charcoal and boil the water in one go, then warm the bowl, put the ground tea powder in the bowl, mix the tea and paste, and continue to stir with the tea scoop until a thick foam (here You can use your own brain to brush the pot), the action is full of rhythm, and finally pour the tea into two bowls, this is the matcha.

Zhang Heng took one of the tea bowls from the boss and pointed the pattern on the bowl to the other side as a token of thanks.

Then took a bite.

Well, he couldn't make much difference.

"Patience is good," a smile appeared on the skinny face of the boss, and he seemed to see what Zhang Heng thought, and shook his head. "Forget it, let's talk about the sword."

Zhang Heng took out the first knife and passed it.

"Counting beads with a constant shot." The boss really looked at it and said, "In the Heian era, cast by Qingjiang Hengji, the sword was made by Hengji, and the blade was two feet and five inches long. The string on the blade was from the former owner Lord Nichiren, in order to break this sword, this is a famous Buddha knife, but then fell into the hands of the executioner. The Buddhist temple will be raised for a while. "

"The boss is worthy of knowing the knife." Zhang Heng handed in the second knife again.

"Oh, Ju Yi is the sect, and you have a lot of good knives." The boss stroked the blade. "Did you see the hardening traces above, deeper than ordinary swords? This method is called a monogram T. It is a monograph The author's work is a monograph sect of the Kamakura period, a sword sect, and the blade is two feet four inches in length. The most famous owner is the director of Okita, unfortunately, this famous knife finally found his destiny. , But it is a short-lived ghost, if you listen carefully, you can still hear its wailing, passionate people with passionate swords, in the final analysis, they are just wrong.

After listening to the boss's comments, Zhang Heng fell into silence. After a moment he looked up, "What I want to ask is which of these two knives is more suitable for me."

The boss heard the words but did not answer immediately, but said, "Don't you still have a knife, why not take it out."

"That knife was just a gift from a friend. Although it is of great significance to me, I'm afraid I can't get into your eyes." Zhang Hengdao.

However, the boss did not take back his hand, and said, "It is up to me whether I can enter my law. It is not you that you judge or not judge."

"As you wish." Zhang Heng finally handed up the ordinary knife that Koyama Qian gave him.

"Well, this knife is really sloppy. The man who casts it is sloppy. The original owner is also sloppy. He does n’t even have a name. The sword name is also blank. Maybe I feel too embarrassing. Its records are not even comparable to those in my shop. "

Zhang Heng couldn't laugh or cry. He already said that the knife was very ordinary, but the old man still had to insist on commenting, and in the end, getting the knife was a cruel criticism. It was a model of nothing to do.

"Anyway, this knife was sent to me by a friend. After all, it was a kind of intention." Zhang Heng reached out and wanted to get back the knife.

However, the boss did not immediately let go ~ www.novelhall.com ~ but said, "In this case, choose this one."

"Ok?"

"I said, just choose this one." The boss said lightly, "Suzuki Maru is the sword of Nichiren's master, and Kikuichi's text belongs to the director of Okita. Both of them put on the knife in their own way. To their own brand, so this is their knife, it's just their knife. "

Zhang Hengwen said something seemed to move.

"Swords are famous because of people. It does n’t matter if you do n’t have a name. It does n’t matter if you do n’t have a history. Just write your own. Write your history, it ’s also a history, not to mention this. The knife was also entrusted with your feelings about you, this is your knife. "The boss is like a devil, constantly seduced and confused in Zhang Heng's ear.

"Co-authoring, don't you just want me to take these two famous knives out of the copy?" Zhang Hengdao, he had already vaguely guessed the identity of the other party, and he simply showed up.

The boss took a sip of tea and smiled. "This is your choice. I'm only responsible for providing advice. Buy and leave. Don't regret it."

"But you have said so much that you cannot cover up the flaws of the knife itself." Zhang Heng said silently.

"You don't know very well, there is nothing perfect in this world," the boss said leisurely. "Swords are like people. When there is no disappointment in the world, the emperor will have a lot of arrogance. The key is to have Nobleman pulls. "

"So ... I wonder if you mean that I am the one who pulls the wrong head?"

"Hey." The boss laughed awkwardly, long ago the Fengxiandao bones when he was making tea, "I said, choose you, maybe it will also pull you when."
