The Porcelain of Rebirth Comes to Work
Chapter 14
Most of the people in the night market came here temporarily, and Ning Xianglang looked at the faces that seemed to be unfamiliar, and met the gaze of the sellers with a smile.
The seller is somehow guilty.
Ning Xianglang stared at the seller and asked, "You said your ancestors fished this thing out of the sea?"
The seller tried hard to harden himself: "Yes, it was fished out of the sea!"
Ning Xianglang commented pertinently: "Hai Lao Porcelain is indeed a very common collection."
The seller straightened his back: "Of course, you must know that in the early days, transactions with foreign countries were done by sea. When sailing, it is inevitable to encounter some wind and waves. Sometimes the waves crash and the whole ship sinks! The hundreds of thousands of beautiful porcelains they contained all sank to the bottom of the sea! It happened that my grandpa’s grandpa—”
Seeing that the seller was about to tell the story of his ancestors again vividly, Ning Xianglang interrupted: "I still say the same thing, the story may be true, but the things are not true."
The seller glared at him angrily: "Go, go, the children should go home and nurse, don't just talk nonsense!"
Ning Xianglang said: "Porcelain shipped by sea is generally for foreign trade. The things painted on it range from common domestic mountains, rivers, fields, flowers, birds, insects and fish to custom-made decorations full of exotic styles. There is nothing wrong with this."
When the others heard Ning Xianglang's eloquent talk, they immediately became interested and asked, "Then what's the problem?"
Ning Xianglang scanned the other stalls for a while, his eyes were slightly bright, and he walked up to one of the stall owners and pointed to a blue and white bowl with fine flowers and twigs, and asked, "Can I pick it up and have a look?"
The stall owner was a very young girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a long thick braid and a plain white shirt. She looked like a student.Seeing so many people surrounding her, she felt a little embarrassed, and said shyly, "Okay, little brother, take a look."
Ning Xianglang smiled at the girl, picked up the blue and white bowl and looked at it and asked, "Where did you get these things?"
Facing the well-meaning little baby, the girl also relaxed, she shook her head, and said, "I don't know where it came from, my father left early, and nothing else was left behind, only these old Things.” She said with a sad expression on her face, “My grandma fell ill some time ago, and my mother was getting worse and worse in order to take care of her. My mother asked me to come out and sell the things my father left behind for some Money to pay grandma’s medical bills.”
Although the girl's expression was gloomy, her eyes were full of strong brilliance.Ning Xianglang didn't show a sympathetic expression, he stretched out his hand to caress the inner wall of the blue and white bowl, and said to the people waiting for his explanation: "This is hailao porcelain, because it has been corroded by seawater for many years, it doesn't feel so smooth. And the one just now has obvious signs of being old, where is it? Hailao porcelain usually sinks to the bottom of the sea on the way to overseas, and it should be a brand new thing, but the thing just now has been found out by someone. The traces, isn't that superfluous."
The bystanders asked: "Can we judge it in this way?"
Ning Xianglang said: "If you want evidence, you can come and touch it. After soaking in sea water for so many years, even if it is washed clean, it will still feel uneven caused by salt crystals!"
Everyone was listening with great interest, but someone noticed something was wrong: "Hey, where is the guy who made up the story just now?"
Others searched around one after another, and soon found that the guy had packed up the booth and was sneaking out!
Fatty Su was triumphant: "Xiao Lang, you said that guy ran away!"
Ning said to the girl who set up a stall in Langchao: "Sister, these things are genuine and very valuable! It's better not to set up a stall here, there are many people here, and if you don't care about it, sister, it's better to go to a reputable place. Let’s see if they accept it at the store!”
The onlookers couldn't help saying: "There are so many people here! We are all watching! Don't listen to him, little girl, we will help you check it out tonight, so you can sell it for a good price!"
The people next to him responded: "Yes, yes, the little girl is in need of money, and those unscrupulous shops will definitely not pay high prices, why don't we buy it! Come on, we will bid now, and no one is allowed to lower the price!"
Immediately, there was a higher bid in the crowd.
As a babysitter, Ning Xianglang winked at the girl who was shocked by the price, dragged Fatty Su out of the crowd and slipped away by virtue of his small size.
If it is said that Fatty Su hated Ning Xianglang, the "child of someone else" before today, now he is an admirer of Ning Xianglang: "Xiao Lang, you are really amazing!"
Ning Xianglang didn't know what modesty was at all, and accepted Fatty Su's compliment quite happily: "Of course, don't look at whose grandson I am!"
Fatty Su envied and hated.
Ning Xianglang led Fatty Su to the shop with tobacco strings hanging at the door with a clear goal.
The lights in the store are still slightly dim, which seems to be the same brightness no matter day or night.This time the old man put the tobacco rod aside and sat under the lamp carefully carving something.
Ning Xianglang took a closer look, and it turned out that what the old man was holding was a turquoise the size of a child's palm, almost sky blue in color, soft and even in color, and extremely beautiful.
Seeing such a treasure as soon as he entered the store, Ning Xianglang couldn't move his eyes away, he dragged Su Fatty over and squatted aside to watch how the old man moved the knife on the turquoise.
Not to mention the materials, but the carving tools on the side opened Ning Xianglang's horizons.
There are nail-shaped, date-pit-shaped, olive-shaped, needle-shaped grinding heads alone... Each shape is arranged in a row according to the diameter. A rough calculation is really amazing. There are hundreds of them at least. kind!
So professional!
Ning Xianglang stared at the old man's hand, his eyes following the movement of his hand.
As the master of masters, the old man's movements seem to be smooth and smooth, as free as he wants.After a while, the turquoise in the old man's hand took on a basic embryonic form.
Ning Xianglang was slightly surprised, because he found out that the old man was planning to carve a figure!
The old man had already noticed the arrival of Ning Xianglang's two little children, and seeing Ning Xianglang staring at the turquoise in his hand thoughtfully, he raised his head and asked Ning Xianglang, "Do you know what I'm going to carve?" ?”
The turquoise in the old man's hand has only simply removed a little corner, and it is difficult for non-experts to see the way.
Ning Xianglang also reacted, and immediately shook his head in denial: "I don't know!"
The old man glanced at him, stopped talking, and concentrated on working on the turquoise.
The old man's technique was too subtle, and his extremely dexterous hands were so incredibly fast that even a solid layman like Fatty Su couldn't take his eyes off him, and he couldn't bear to look away!Needless to say, Ning Xianglang felt that it was worth it to be able to witness such a wonderful performance with his own eyes!
The two little children squatted on the side eagerly watching the old man make the turquoise look completely different with each knife.
Even though the statue was no bigger than a hand, the whole process took more than two hours.When the Taoist statue with fluttering clothes appeared in front of them, Ning Xianglang and Fatty Su realized that their legs were extremely numb!
Seeing them standing up tremblingly, the old man suddenly showed a rare smile, "You guys are quite patient."
Fatty Su was straightforward: "Grandpa, you are really amazing!"
Ning Xianglang also said: "That's right, Grandpa, you are really amazing!!"
The old man glanced at them and said, "You don't need to go home?"
Ning Xianglang: "..."
Fatty Su: "..."
It's almost twelve o'clock!what!manage!
The old man thought that it would be unsafe for the two children to walk at night, so he called an employee in the store and told him, "Mute, help take them home." He turned to Ning Xianglang and the two of them, "You guys had a good time outside just now. , but have you ever thought about what to do if you are being targeted? I don’t even look at how much you can do with your little arms and legs! The mute is a mute, but it’s okay to protect you, so follow him back. "
Ning Xianglang was taken aback.
It turned out that the old man had seen all the commotion between himself and Fatty Su on the street!
The old man's reminder made Ning Xianglang startled. He was used to being in the limelight before, and he almost forgot that he is no longer the "Qi Tianjiao" that everyone chases after and can say anything straight!
He offended those swindlers so lightly and skillfully, it would be terrible if they targeted him and Fatty Su to take revenge!
Ning Xianglang said seriously: "Thank you, we will definitely not do it next time!"
Although Fatty Su didn't understand why, he followed suit and thanked him.
The old man nodded slightly, indicating that they could leave.
The mute beckoned Ning Xianglang and Fatty Su to follow behind him, leading the way without saying a word.
Fatty Su whispered to Ning Xianglang: "Xiao Lang, did you notice just now! The old man just now had an extra little finger on his left hand!"
Ning Xianglang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, Six Fingers?
He was so busy looking at the tools and techniques just now that he didn't notice this at all!
Ning Xianglang immediately thought of the well-known "Pianzhiqi" in the industry. "Pianzhiqi" is famous for its exquisite cultural relic restoration technology, but for some reason it suddenly disappeared and never appeared in front of people again.
Before he "come back", he had been in contact with many experts in the industry, and many people have always regretted the disappearance of "Pianzhiqi"!
It was only later that Ning Xianglang realized that "Pianzhiqi" was not a good word at first, because the people of "Pianzhiqi" laughed at him for having an extra finger!
As a result, the ridiculed "Pianzhiqi" became famous for a while, and the object of ridicule of this title changed, and it was replaced by the person who ridiculed "Pianzhiqi" back then!
If he remembered correctly, "Pianzhiqi" came from the Zhu family in the capital, and his disappearance was more or less related to the Zhu family in the capital!
Thinking that what he saw might be that legendary figure, Ning Xianglang felt a little excited.He tried his best to keep calm on his face, and confirmed to Fatty Su: "I really didn't pay attention, did you see clearly?"
Fatty Su nodded vigorously: "Of course! My eyes are the best!"
Ning Xianglang glanced at the mute's broad back, and praised quietly: "Then that old man just now is really amazing, he is still so powerful with an extra finger!"
Fatty Su responded excitedly: "That's right!"
Seeing that Fatty Su was happy, Ning Xianglang forgot to worry, and calmly reminded: "Going home so late, have you thought about how to explain it to your dad?"
Fatty Su's face quickly collapsed.
Ning Xianglang balanced.
Anyway, you can't let yourself be entangled alone!
The mute sent them to the door of the factory dormitory with a blank face, and stood quietly at the doorman to watch them go in.
Ning Xianglang and Fatty Su's house were not in the same direction, and the two parted ways to go home anxiously at the fork in the road.
Ning Xianglang thought that he was only six years old at the moment, and he was very careful when he took out the key to open the door.He tiptoed into the house, hoping that Ning Anguo and Hu Lingcui would both be asleep, and he wouldn't wake him up!
But as soon as he saw the bright lights in the living room and Ning Anguo sitting there with a dark face, Ning Xianglang knew that he couldn't escape this time.
He called out cautiously: "Dad..."
Ning Anguo had seen his sneaky movements a long time ago, and he was even angrier when he heard his guilty voice.
This kid can't do without a lesson, he dared to go outside to play so late at such a young age, he will have it in the future!
Ning Anguo said with a straight face, "Come here."
The seller is somehow guilty.
Ning Xianglang stared at the seller and asked, "You said your ancestors fished this thing out of the sea?"
The seller tried hard to harden himself: "Yes, it was fished out of the sea!"
Ning Xianglang commented pertinently: "Hai Lao Porcelain is indeed a very common collection."
