Chapter 86 Old Stone, Little Stone

Chapter 86 Old Stones, Small Stones

The next morning, Li Junge built a real big falcon platform with bricks on the roof of his house, planted space weeds on it, and then trimmed it into a small lawn. Later, the peregrine falcons can stand here when they come home, and then they can sit in the yard. Appreciate here.

As for the one sent by Uncle Orion, it is suitable for displaying when you want to get close to appreciate it.

After feeding a few small fishes to the peregrine falcon, he pointed at the mountain and let him play by himself.He took Xiasi dog to Pan'ao Township to find Liang Huili.

Now the peak period of lychees has passed, the quantity has obviously decreased, and the collection of lychees has entered the final stage, but the income is still rising steadily.

When we arrived in the village, it was still early for the yamen to go to work, so Li Junge found a small shop to eat a bowl of noodles, and strolled back and forth in the village.

The villagers who sold things had spread out their stalls along the street very early, but before the buyers came out, Li Junge looked at them curiously.

After a while, Li Junge saw Uncle Bamboo Carpenter and two other people, an old man and a young man. There were some stone pestles, pestles, hand mills and other things on the stalls, and they were chatting there.

Li Junge went over to say hello.

Seeing Li Junge approaching, Uncle Bamboo Carpenter shouted: "Come here, Piwa, these are the old stones and small stones you want to see. I persuaded them to go to the county town to sell goods, but this old boy is still stubborn. Hurry up and persuade me."

Old Shitou's head was wrapped in a white cloth veil. He was short in stature, but with thick hands and feet. Little Shitou was a young man about his own size, not much taller than Old Shitou, with a shy smile on his face.

Li Junge saw that Old Shitou was carrying a cigarette stick, so he smoked with Old Shitou and Little Shitou, and greeted them while listening to the introduction from Uncle Bale Carpenter.

Li Junge bowed to Old Shitou and said: "Uncle Shitou, I am from the Li family in Shanghe. I heard that the gate tower of our Li family's ancestral hall was written by your ancestors. This is really admirable."

Old Shitou waved his hands again and again and said: "You are too polite, that is a family handed down craftsmanship. Back then, your Li family was a big family, and it took a lot of time to make such a big stone piece, but it was not my ancestors alone. can do."

"It was made by the head ancestor of my hometown, who led several stonemason teams in Manzhou. Only the pair of stone drums and stone horns at the door are his own hands."

Li Junge said: "That's even more difficult. For now, this is an interdisciplinary project, integrating design, overall planning, and operation!"

Old Shitou said modestly: "It is also thanks to your Li family for having such a large financial resources to afford such a large team of stonemasons, which left behind the craftsmanship of our ancestors."

Li Junge said: "Do you still know the technology of the Shigushi? That's a guy who can really make noise. I haven't seen it anywhere else until now."

Old Shitou frowned and said: "It will be difficult to recover this craftsmanship. There are many regulatory drawings of tools left by our ancestors, all of which are bent. I have studied it for many years, but I can't figure it out."

"Those things are not used by ordinary stonemasons at all. I have always suspected that it has something to do with the Shigushi, but there is no pattern of the Shigushi left by the ancestors. I can't understand the internal structure of the Shigushi. There are really no things. There is a way to restore it."

Li Junge was overjoyed and said, "Hey! Since there are tools left, there is hope of recovery!"

Old Shitou sighed: "It's not that simple. We've been doing it since my grandparents' generation. It's been a hundred years, and this craft hasn't even touched the door yet! Generations of people have died with hatred!" Said Finished wiping the corners of his eyes.

Li Junge said: "You set up a stall here. These stone pestles and pestles don't show any craftsmanship. I have two stones. You can see if you can use your best craftsmanship. As long as the craftsmanship is good, thousands I can give you a salary of 800 yuan."

The bamboo craftsman frowned and said: "Pi Wa, you are like this again, you can't waste it like this when you have money! You want to get your green stones, right? A mason can only carve a big lion for thousands of dollars. Your few It’s a small thing, and I guess it’s only a hundred dollars.”

Li Junge said: "That's fine, then let's not talk about the price, you can look at the materials first."

Li Junge snatched a handful from the backpack, but actually brought two stones out of space.

The old stone took two stones and handed one to the little one. The two looked at it carefully for a long time, and then the old stone asked the little one, "Son, tell me, what kind of stone is this stone?"

The little stone raised his head and said: "I have never seen such a stone, but although this stone has the nature of jade, it cannot meet the standard of jade, but the water head and smoothness are very good, so it can be regarded as a beautiful stone. It is said in the book that 'the most beautiful stone is Min', and the color belt is green, so I think it is more appropriate to call it 'Qing Min Stone'."

Li Junge said happily: "Oh master! This is almost the same as the result of the BJ University appraisal!"

Old Shitou was not polite, he just slapped him! "You kid! How did you teach you at home? Did you discover this stone? That's why it's given a name?! What qualifications do you have?!"

Li Junge quickly persuaded him, saying: "Uncle Shitou, don't be angry, don't be angry. I haven't been able to think of a name for this stone. Brother Shitou is definitely a good name! I don't have any opinions here, so I just call it Qing Mingshi is the most suitable!"

The old stone said to the little stone: "People gave you the name of the stone, what should you do?"

Xiao Shitou took a pendant from his chest, handed it to Li Junge, and said, "Erpi brother, I'm sorry, I accidentally took the name of your material, this is a thank you gift."

Li Junge saw that it was a small jade cicada, the whole body was as white as mutton oil, oily and oily, not to mention the material, the key was the carving, it was like a living cicada that had been petrified, it was worth seeing at a glance Not expensive, quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, it's too expensive. You see, I'm not hypocritical. I have my own pendant, and I never leave it."

Little Shitou looked at his father helplessly, and Old Shitou sighed and said, "This 'Blockbuster' is my child's handicraft when he was a teacher. I actually think it's not bad. If you don't accept it, our family owes you a lot. "

Li Junge waved his hands again and again and said: "It's not big, it's not big, I need to choose a name, how can it be so appropriate to come up with a random one, I have to thank Shishi for this."

The old stone said: "My son, you don't understand. To be able to find a kind of stone and name it, in the old days, it was almost the market for a stonemason to establish a school."

Turning to Xiao Shitou, he said, "I was so proud just now, have you finished?"

The little stone put his hand on the stone for a while and then took it away, saying: "When you put your hand on it and then take it away, there are water droplets on it. This shows that the stone is hydrophilic."

Then he scratched lightly on the stone with his nails, and said: "It can eat nails and make them smooth. Dad, I don't think this material is bad. I'll wash Erpi twice! It's absolutely smooth and always new." .”

The old stone slapped the little stone on the back of the head again, cursing: "You idiot! Hydrophilic stones can only be washed with water? Why don't you work according to the material? It's the size and thickness of the stone, what do you think? Is it suitable for washing? Oh, you have already mentioned this, but you still don’t know what is suitable for it?”

"I know! This kind of stone is the most suitable for inkstone making! It is definitely for inkstone making!"

"It's too late! After shaking badly, the window paper won't be broken, and I still want to go out to work! I'll stay at home and practice for another two years!" Old Shitou was still cursing angrily.

Old Shitou was dissatisfied over there, but Li Junge was already speechless in secret. I don’t want to rely too much on the good people in Pan’ao Township. This little Shitou made him feel so bad that he had goose bumps all over his body. Why doesn’t his father feel it? How satisfied?

The old stone continued: "That's the end of it? Hey, I still missed it! This material is actually a piece of mountain material. If it is water material, it will definitely be more moist, but I don't blame you. No one can guess that the material is so hydrophilic. I’ve seen it before, so I usually treat it as water material.”

After speaking, he pointed to a stone eye on the material and said: "But there is a flaw here, this stone eye is obviously the fineness of the mountain material."

He shook his head while talking.

After listening to Xiao Shitou, he quickly took it over to take a look, and slapped his thigh regretfully: "Hi! Why did I miss this!"

Old Shitou glared and said, "So you still have to practice!"

Turning around, he said to Li Junge: "How about this, you keep these two stones, and I will make two inkstones for you. Where did this stone come from? It's really a good thing." After speaking, he couldn't put it down.

Li Junge said: "I have loved picking up rocks since I was a child. I picked up these two rocks in the mountains. I got them back after they looked good. I heard there are still in Yulong Creek. I will go and see them another day."

The old stone caressed the stone and sighed: "Hey, it's not the right time to be born. If it was born a thousand years earlier, what's the problem? It's only discovered now, hehehe..."

Li Junge hurriedly said: "Uncle Shitou, don't be like this, since it is a good material, and with the craftsmanship of the two of you, we can also produce high-end stone tools."

"Life is better now, and everyone is going back to improving their self-cultivation. There should not be too many people practicing calligraphy and painting. My uncle is retired and still writes calligraphy every day."

"At that time, I will provide the raw materials, and you will provide the craftsmanship. We will produce a famous product in Pan'ao Township!"

Glancing at Uncle Bamboo Carpenter, he emphasized again: "It's just like Uncle Bamboo Carpenter's craftsmanship!"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter rolled his eyes and said nothing, but the meaning was very clear, that is, your Piwa started to fool around again.

Uncle Shitou said: "You guys are big-hearted. Uncle Shitou is old, and now he is thinking about how to make the stubborn stone sound. If this matter can't be solved, I can't understand this idea."

There was a disheartened taste in his tone, obviously he didn't believe that he could solve the riddle left by his ancestors in his lifetime.

However, Li Junge was full of pride and said: "Uncle Shitou, don't be discouraged! I don't believe it anymore. Now that technology is so advanced, the old ancestor's mystery can't be broken! I will contact my tutor tomorrow! See if they are interested in this subject. "

　Vacation is more tiring than going to work. My wife needs to use a car to go to work. Lao Zhou is drunk after walking for more than half an hour with fishing tackle every day to go fishing...
