The sad reminder of the science man

Xuzhou was called "Pengcheng" in ancient times, and it was the fiefdom of Pengzu who was said to have lived for 800 years, hence the name.Xuzhou has been one of the nine states in China in history. It has been the key to the North, the gateway to the South, a battleground for military strategists and a gathering center for merchants since ancient times.Xuzhou has developed to the present day and is prosperous.

The boat of Xue's family docked at Xuzhou Wharf, Xue's father and Xue's mother got off the boat with three brothers and sisters, Xue Pan, and came to visit Xuzhou.

When Xue Jia first got off the boat, he still felt sorry for his small treasury, but he was attracted by Xuzhou's prosperity after a while, and he and Xue Pan held hands and went shopping.

"Father, these little animals are so carved, especially this little tiger, I really like it, I want it, buy it for me!"

"Mom, I want the little wooden knife, the little wooden sword, and the little bow and arrow!"

"Father, this face is so funny, and that one is also pretty, I want it."

"Mother, these little Luozi seem to be different from what we usually see, let's buy shoes for my sister to play with!"

"Dad, this looks delicious, I want to try it."

"Mom, I've eaten this in Hangzhou, it's delicious, buy some for my brother and sister to taste!"

"Father, these things are so rough. They are much worse than our home. Can he sell them?"

……

Words like these kept coming and going on this street.Xue's father and Xue's mother didn't stop the two brothers and let them play by themselves. They just let the servants look after them and didn't let others bump into them. They also satisfied their requirements one by one.

Finally, Xue Jia and Xue Pan felt a little tired, and Xue Jia didn't forget to say that he wanted to buy gifts for Cheng Gong. He didn't like the things in the small stall. At this time, he saw a very well-decorated shop. I looked up and saw the three big characters of "Jinyutang" engraved on the plaque, and looked inside, it was also a jade pendant, and it didn't look like ordinary goods at a rough glance, thinking that I should be able to buy what I wanted inside.Thinking of Xue Jia pulling Xue Pan to go there, "Brother, go there, there should be something I want to buy there,"

As soon as Xue Chi entered the store, he thought of watching TV, so he imitated, "Shopkeeper, bring out the good things in your store, I want to have a look." It's so cute to say it, it's not like Xue's father and Xue's mother behind him couldn't help laughing.However, Xue Jia didn't know it, and looked back at them. Xue's father and Xue mother were overjoyed to see Xue Jia's confused eyes.

When the shopkeeper heard the sound, he saw two pink and jade-carved children walking into the shop, followed by an extraordinary master and a dignified lady. Looking at the fabrics and embroidery on them, he knew that they were big customers, so he hurried forward. He greeted, "I don't know what the distinguished guest wants. Our Jinyutang Xuzhou is one of the best antique shops in Xuzhou. Our reputation is guaranteed and there are no fakes."

Father Xue hummed, and said to Xue Pan and Xue Chi, "Okay, since Chi'er wants to see it, you should take a good look!"

Xue Pan and Xue Jia nodded hurriedly, "Understood, Dad."

Seeing that the two young masters wanted to buy something, the shopkeeper hurriedly ordered Xiaoer to serve tea and snacks, sat down facing them, and said to Xue Pan and Xue Chi, "I don't know what the two young masters want to buy. Our Jinyutang items are absolutely perfect. It is childlike and old, and the quality is guaranteed."

After hearing this, Xue Zhi felt like being sold by people back in the modern times. Thinking of ancient and modern merchants doing business, it was just like this, "Do you have any rare things in your store? You don't want those ordinary things to fool me .”

"Young master, you are joking. We are open to do business based on honesty. I wonder if the young master wants calligraphy and painting, antiques or jade pendants?" The shopkeeper said to Xue Chi with a smile.

Xue Chi thought about his purse. Antiques must cost a lot of money. Calligraphy and paintings are definitely not as good as at home. In fact, jade pendants are not as good as those at home. I had already said that I would pay for it myself, and my father was still watching, Xue Chi looked at it again, and then made a decision in my heart, "Well, I want to see the decorations."

The shopkeeper took out a tray according to his words, "Please look, young master, all these ornaments are rare and good, I wonder if they have caught the eyes of the young master?"

Xue Pan and Xue Jia looked forward, and Xue Pan said, "Xiao Er, these are not very good, they are similar to those used at home, let's change them!"

Xue Chi also nodded. The things that the shopkeeper brought out are exquisite, but they are similar to those at home. After thinking about it, he said to the shopkeeper, "I don't want this kind, I want to be unique, uncommon, and different from others. I can hold it, do you have it in your store?"

After hearing what they said, the shopkeeper knew that they might not be able to see their ordinary things, so he asked, "I wonder if the young master is giving it away or playing with it?"

Xue Chi replied honestly, "I want to give it away, and I will have a teacher apprentice ceremony soon."

The shopkeeper looked at Father Xue strangely, and wondered in his heart, why do children come to buy this apprenticeship ceremony, shouldn't they be prepared at home?And looking at their clothes, they are either rich or expensive, but they still say, "Then congratulations, young master, for becoming a teacher!"

Father Xue noticed the shopkeeper's eyes, and said, "The apprenticeship ceremony is ready, but my son wants to buy another gift for his teacher himself, so... the value doesn't need to be too high, but it needs to show my heart. You can take out the corresponding objects according to his wishes."

The shopkeeper listened to Father Xue's words and nodded in his heart. Is this right? After thinking about it, he went into the inner room and took out two trays, "Since my young master wants to be a teacher, I think he must be a literati. Most literati like mountains and rivers. My little one Please look, my lord, the four items in these two plates are all landscape ornaments, all of which are made of precious materials and carved by famous masters. Look at this piece of "Su Shi's Night Tour of Chibi" which is carved from a whole piece of Hetian jade with exquisite techniques; this piece is Emerald ice glutinous species is used as the base, and the carving is Huangshan; this one is rosewood Suzhou garden landscape; the latter one is boxwood carving misty and rainy south of the Yangtze River, using flat carving techniques to carve the misty and rainy south of the Yangtze River in March. Please slow down, young master Slow down."

Xue Chi and Xue Pan looked at it slowly, their two little heads murmured together, then Xue Chi looked at Xue's father eagerly, but Xue's father ignored him, Xue Jia reluctantly picked up the boxwood Yanyu Jiangnan, and faced it The shopkeeper said, "I want this, please make an offer!"

The shopkeeper was about to tell the price, when Father Xue said, "Wrap up all four of these, I'll take them all."

When Xue Chi heard this, he turned to look at Father Xue, and whispered, "Father, I didn't bring that much money."

Father Xue patted Xue Chi, ignored him, and turned to talk to the shopkeeper about the price.

Mother Xue said to Xue Jia with a smile, "Your father is teasing you, how could you ask for money, your father just wants to see you look embarrassed, your father likes you just now, you choose one for the teacher , Pan’er chooses one for Mr. Li, and two more, one for each of you and Pan’er.”

When Xue Chi heard this, the smile on his little face couldn't stop. Seeing that Father Xue had already negotiated the price, he rushed forward to ask Father Xue to hug him. Father Xue picked Xue Chi up, "Hey, Dad, my son likes it!" Dad!" said Xue Jia and Xue father kissed and kissed on the face.

Xue Pan also stepped forward and said to Father Xue, "My son thanked Daddy."

Father Xue nodded, "It's not worth anything, as long as you are happy, are you hungry, dad will take you to eat." He stretched out his hand to hold Xue Pan.

Xue Pan nodded, a little envious of being hugged by Xue's father, but seeing that he was almost one size bigger than Xue Jia, thinking that Xue Jia was the younger brother, and if the elder brother wanted to let the younger brother, he probably couldn't hold him in the arms, and My father is also very kind to me, and I didn't neglect myself because Xue Chi could worship a good teacher. The little dissatisfaction in my heart was put aside, and I held Father Xue's hand tightly, "Father, I want to eat Sixi meatballs. I don't know if the chef here can make them at home, and I also want to eat sweet and sour four-hole carp and golden silk wrapped meatballs." Gourd, I heard from Mr. Li that it seems to be a special dish in Xuzhou, let's try it!"

Xue Chi also twisted aside, got down from Father Xue, took Father Xue's other hand, and walked out, "Father, I want to eat too, I want to eat too, let's go! I feel like my saliva is about to flow out gone."

Father Xue went out with Xue Pan and Xue Chi, "Okay, okay, the restaurant is there, and I won't run away. Slow down, and there is Chi'er. Dad wants to make an agreement. No more cooks are allowed. We I have to board the boat after dinner, I don’t have time, you know?”

Xue Chi didn't have that thought at all, "Got it, Dad, no matter how delicious the dishes I meet this time, I won't be able to poach the cook! I know we are in a hurry, and I am very good, but Dad, you should go. The child is hungry, and your stomach is pounding!"

"My stomach is drumming? Why didn't I hear it? Could it be that the snacks you ate on the street just now couldn't stop your mouth?" Father Xue joked, and asked Mother Xue and the servants to go to the restaurant together.
