"Dad, "National Treasure" is on the air, do you want to watch it?"
His son's voice interrupted his contemplation just in time.
Old Uncle Zhang came back to his senses and nodded.
Hearing this, the son helped Uncle Zhang turn on the TV, because the United States cannot directly watch "National Treasure" and needs to download an online app and watch it through the network port, so this operation process took a lot of effort.
But fortunately, it didn't take long before there was a picture on the TV.
The son left after calling out the screen. Before leaving, he glanced at the back of old Uncle Zhang and sighed heavily.
But old Uncle Zhang didn't know about all this, and focused on the TV screen.
......
"Hi everyone, this is a large-scale cultural and museum exploration program. I am the host Zhang Guo, and I am on the stage of "National Treasure". We also have a new protagonist in this issue. Let us follow President Cai and walk into the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Museum."
After Zhang Guo finished speaking, the camera shot directly to a woman with short hair and eyes on the other side.
It is also the first female dean to appear in so many episodes.
"Our Jiangsu-Zhejiang Museum was built on the former site of the "Siku Quanshu" collected by Emperor Qianlong. It is also the predecessor of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Museum, the location of the West Lake Museum. I am the gatekeeper of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Museum, Cai Qin."
"What is the first national treasure selected by Director Cai Qin?"
Zhang Guo looked at Cai Qin.
Cai Qin smiled slightly.
"The first national treasure selected by our Jiangsu and Zhejiang Museum is the Twisted "Wangong sedan chair."
As soon as the voice fell, a big red sedan chair appeared on the big screen behind him.
But compared with ordinary sedan chairs, it has a lot more decorations on its body, and the entire sedan chair is fully packed from the inside to the outside.
There are bearers carrying the sedan chair, matchmakers following them, and a band beating gongs and drums. Every character is carved around the sedan chair.
At first glance, you will feel that all kinds of exquisite objects are flooding in front of you, but when you look closely, you will be amazed by every vivid decoration.
This is no longer a simple sedan chair, but more like a work of art.
"In terms of age, the Wangong sedan chair is the youngest among so many cultural relics in "National Treasure", but its craftsmanship has been passed down for thousands of years. There are 250 gold-painted wood carving figures carved on the whole sedan chair, and the smallest one is only The size of a thumb."
"When the bearer lifts the sedan chair, the joyous music plays, and these wooden figures seem to be resurrected, and they have various postures as the sedan body rises and falls. Under the sun, the gold-wrapped sedan body glistens, and a sedan chair consumes tens of millions of man-hours."
Cai Qin's voice weakened, and the audience was shocked by the "Wangong sedan chair" in the picture.
This shock does not stem from the history and background of the cultural relics.
And just because of the exquisiteness of the cultural relics themselves.
The last time "National Treasure" had such a shock was in the issue of "Silver Sachet with Grape Flower and Bird Pattern".
Now, this scene is repeated.
In addition to the audience at the scene, the same is true for the old Uncle Zhang outside the screen.
Looking at the "Wangong sedan chair", a familiar feeling arises spontaneously in my heart.
As an old man born in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I have heard about the history of "Wangong sedan chair" for a long time.
Seeing the real thing on the stage of "National Treasure" now, old Uncle Zhang is shocked, and at the same time, a sense of pride from his blood gushes out.
Only my Great Heavenly Dynasty has such exquisite handicrafts.
"Every piece of cultural relic has a history behind it, so what is the background story of this "Wangong sedan chair"? Next, let us go back to the history of the ups and downs in the early years of the Republic of China, and look at the Wangong sedan chair. The legend of the worker's sedan chair."
Zhang Guo's voice echoed on the stage, but no one appeared.
As Zhang Guo's voice weakened, the lights on the stage changed.
The audience at the scene and the old Uncle Zhang outside the screen were pulled back to an appliance shop called "Juchenghao" in the early Ming Dynasty.
This is a firm that specializes in weddings, weddings, and celebrations.
......
"Xiaoer, help me check how much money is left in the account?"
The shopkeeper came out from the backstage and told the accountant in front of the counter.
Zhang Shu, the person playing the shopkeeper, felt very familiar.
It seems to be a star in China, but old Uncle Zhang can't call his name.
While the accountant was doing the accounting, a craftsman ran in from the door.
"Boss, haven't the lacquer and cinnabar arrived yet?"
"In this way, you will allow me another week."
The shopkeeper thought about it.
The craftsman looked troubled.
"Boss, it's not that I won't tolerate you, it's just that the sky will change in a week, and the lacquer and cinnabar will definitely not be able to dry by then. If the wood is deformed again, all these years of hard work will be in vain."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he turned to look at the cashier.
"Xiao Er, take 2000 from the account first."
"2000? Can't get it out, shopkeeper, we have all the money on the sedan chair, and now the account is full of 1000."
The accountant shook his head like a rattle.
In my heart, I don't understand the shopkeeper's painstaking efforts to build this sedan chair.
The shopkeeper frowned when he heard this.
At this time, the craftsman came over.
"Boss, the materials used in this process are not negotiable. The wood is reduced by one grade, and the gold leaf is replaced by copper and tin. The pavilions and pavilions are only made of a single layer. Hundreds of figures are only selected for key display. There are three types of carvings: round carving, relief carving, and openwork carving." The method is to keep only one, don’t put chairs on the sedan chair, a piece of wood is simple and cheap...”
Before the craftsman finished speaking, he was interrupted by the shopkeeper.
"No, nothing less..."
"Wait! This money is not allowed to move!"
A slightly serious voice came from outside the door, and everyone looked at it, and immediately greeted it.
"Boss Zhao! Why are you here?"
"If you don't come again, I'm afraid you have forgotten that I am a shareholder."
Boss Zhao pointed at the shopkeeper bitterly.
谷榉
The shopkeeper smiled.
"You are serious. I should have informed you about the money."
"At the beginning, I saw that you, a young man, were practical and willing to work, so I became a shareholder of your store, but now you have to do something that doesn't make money."
Boss Zhao said a little unhappy.
The shopkeeper comforted him.
"Look, this business has to be looked at from afar. If the "Wangong sedan chair" is completed, it will be covered with vermilion lacquer and gold leaf decals. When the sun shines on this sedan chair, who will stop and take a look? Business will come naturally.”
"I'm out of my mind. Someone has to rent it. Open your eyes and take a good look. This is Shili Foreign Market! The popular foreign clothes and Chinese goods have long been out of fashion. You can quickly sell this sedan chair to me and exchange it for something else." Foreign goods come back to sell."
Boss Zhao looked at the shopkeeper angrily.
The shopkeeper changed his apologetic expression, and his tone suddenly became firm.
"I can't sell this sedan chair for anything. I didn't expect it to make money. I just feel aggrieved. This is a concession, right a concession. Why is it so difficult for Hua people to make something on their own land!"
"Let me tell you the truth, I don't want to fight for steamed buns, I just want them to see that this is our domestic product! This is our Huaguo territory!"
The shopkeeper's voice was so powerful that the three people in the room were speechless for a moment.
Boss Zhao looked at the crazy shopkeeper and shook his head.
"Your brain is really broken. In business, you don't care about your feelings and focus on profits. I'm too lazy to tell you. Mr. De's people have already blocked the door. I will come to withdraw the money in three days, and I want to withdraw the capital."
After he finished speaking, he left without looking back.
The few people left in the house looked at each other in blank dismay.
The shopkeeper looked at the cashier.
"Leave 200 turnovers, and the other materials will be supplied to the craftsmen first, and the most important materials will be supplied first, and I will find a way for the others."
"The material for this lacquer is enough, but the owner, the workers have to support their families, and they haven't been paid for several months."
The carpenter looked apologetic.
When the shopkeeper heard the words, he realized that he had neglected this part.
After thinking about it, he said to the craftsman.
"In this way, I will take out [-]% of the shares of Juchenghao and transfer it to the brothers to pay for their work."
"Boss! You are crazy, this is a share, and it is your family business that you have worked so hard for."
When the accountant heard this, he rushed over and grabbed the shopkeeper by the sleeve, wanting him to withdraw his decision.
The shopkeeper sighed, and patted the accountant on the shoulder.
"There are thousands of hectares of fertile land, a solar eclipse is only one liter, there are thousands of buildings, and the night sleep is only eight feet."
"Where's the shopkeeper! Get out!"
At this moment, a rough voice interrupted their conversation.
In an instant, dozens of big men with big arms and round waists walked into the shop under the leadership of a middle-aged man.
"Master De, Lord De, why are you here?"
The accountant on the side said with a smile.
Even the shopkeeper and the craftsmen were staring intently at the middle-aged man who walked in.
This person is the De Ye that the shareholder Boss Zhao said.
One of the bigwigs in Shili Yangchang.
Walking into the shop, Master De looked around with lightning-like eyes.
Finally fell on the shopkeeper.
"Where's the sedan chair? Take it out and have a look."
"Master De, you definitely won't like us in this small shop."
The accountant said with a smile.
Master De's gaze directly passed him.
"It doesn't look good, I have the final say."
"Every time this sedan chair is finished, I really can't see it."
The shopkeeper came out with a look of embarrassment on his face.
He also knew that the people who came today were not good.
"Look at your sedan chair, it's for your face, don't be ignorant of flattery, smash it for me!"
Master De took off his hat and eyes casually.
The big man behind him was about to smash the things in the store with his hands.
The shopkeeper roared.
"I'm leaving my words here today. You can't see this sedan chair today. If you insist on smashing the store, I will fight with you! I will be messed up!"
"Guilty? You are not qualified enough, life! The sedan chair! Choose one yourself."
With a sneer, Master De took out a gun from his pocket and pointed it at De, the shopkeeper.
The craftsmen and accountants beside him were all trying to persuade the shopkeeper.
"If the sedan chair is gone, you can do it again. If your life is gone, you will lose everything!"
"Yes, shopkeeper, think about it carefully."
