The days when I purchased goods in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 25 Antiques
In the second package, the main part is still a large bunch of dried meat and a few squishy potatoes, probably because Li Dali felt that the things he sent were too insincere, so he stuffed a simple small wooden box and a A bamboo tube about half a meter long.

With just one glance, Ye Xun recognized that the wooden box was made of red sandalwood.

A few months before the official "bankruptcy", he stayed in Youxian Town, Fuzhou Province for several months, just to rely on a batch of logs to turn over.

Although the result was obviously broken, his research on wood was actually much more profound.

In particular, the characteristics of wood such as red sandalwood are very obvious, and it is easier to distinguish. If it is in the world of 21 years, the possibility of counterfeiting black sandalwood may have to be considered. In the Song Dynasty, that kind of possibility can be passed directly. , which is smoother and easier to identify.

The whole body of the one in the package is purple-black, and the brown eyes with fine ox hair patterns are as shiny and smooth as satin under the reflection of white snow.

If you take a closer look, you can even see a faint golden light reflected from individual brown eyes, which is a bit like the "Little Leaf Venus material" that was very popular in later generations a few years ago. Xun dared to show off his head to Wu Youshan as a kick.

Whether there are so many small-leaf Venus red sandalwood is known to everyone on the street, but it does exist. It is scientifically said that it is because the wood absorbs the micro-metal elements in the soil during the growth process, and it penetrates into the wood joints over time. Among them, a beautiful golden cow hair pattern is finally formed.

"This box is made of red sandalwood. The workmanship is so exquisite. It's really beautiful." Ye Xun held the wooden box and put it on the table. After observing it upside down for a long time, he couldn't help admiring.

Just a red sandalwood box, at most, can show that Li Dali may have been a wealthy family, but it is outrageous to be associated with the royal relatives. What really shocked Ye Xun was a set of white porcelain tea sets from Ding Kiln in the box , and the content on the scroll in the bamboo tube.

There are four small cups and a pot. It may not be accurate to say that they are tea sets. After all, as the old saying goes, wine cups and tea cups are more likely to be used for drinking. The five-piece set is very well preserved. The ornamentation of Xianghua is exquisite and unusual.

There is a saying - Brother Ruguan Dingjun.

Ding Kiln has been one of the five famous kilns that are well-known at home and abroad since ancient times. It has left a strong mark in the history of porcelain making in China. It's not surprising that the officials have something to do with it.

What's more, there is a pair of calligraphy that is not known to be a famous artist.
Maybe it's not a famous artist, but after the scroll is unfolded, it is an ordinary portrait with a touch of weirdness.

Say it is ordinary, because it is indeed just a very ordinary portrait; but say it is weird, it is like Wu Youshan's problem.

"Huh~ This person is so strange, why did you draw him black and blue?"

Wuqingqing, what a strange adjective. Ye Xunyan thought it was funny, but Wu Youshan's description was not bad. The skin color of the people in the painting is indeed weird. To be precise, it should be black and red. It should be that the paper has faded for a long time Relationship.

"This should be a drawing of a Kunlun slave, not us Chinese, most likely foreigners from overseas." Ye Xun rubbed his chin. He had heard about the allusion to the Kunlun slave a long time ago, so it should be the right name. It refers specifically to the foreigners who have been dragged and sold from overseas since the Tang Dynasty. They are usually Southeast Asians like Ah Sanma. It is said that there are also people from Africa. The skin color of the people there is usually darker. They are the special servants of the Tang Dynasty gentry. , The fee is very expensive.

"Gentleman, that star is amazing!" Wu Youshan said with a look of incredulity, "Then this person is a slave of Li Dali's family?"

"It's possible, otherwise, who would have the time to ask an artist to draw a servant? They are props used by the big family to show off their wealth." Ye Xun pondered for a moment, and his interest in Li Dali increased greatly.

If this guy really has some great status, he might still be holding some interesting and good things in his hands. If he can exchange some with him, it might be worth a lot of money!
why?
For example, the red sandalwood box and the Ding kiln wine set in Ye Xun's hands, although they are well preserved, they already have a clear sense of age, even if they are only dozens or hundreds of years old, they are still genuine antiques!
Can modern imitation be the same as the Republic of China imitation?

The modern imitation is called the cost, and the imitation of the Republic of China may have been the same at the time, but it must not be the case after 100 years. It must be called a tribute to the craftsmen of the former dynasty!
Thinking of this, Ye Xun almost didn't laugh out loud. After sending Wu Youshan away, he immediately went back to his hut, full of anticipation, and stuffed the things he had collected into the space.

I didn't put the dried meat or anything, just threw it in the kitchen.

There has been no change in the space, but Ye Xun's mood is still very good, and he plans to go back to 21 years later to see if there are any suitable customers.

Before going out, he saw old man Liu and Xiaodouzi standing in the snow with sad faces, and his heart skipped a beat.

What the hell happened again?
But old man Liu stomped his crutches helplessly, groaning and mourning: "It's snowing, the seeds that just fell to the ground, I don't know if they can survive!"

Ye Xun really didn't know about this, he had never planted land before, and immediately showed a sad face.

He remembered that when he was a child, he learned in a text that auspicious snow heralds a good year, but that didn't seem to refer to winter snow. The snow that fell in November and February seemed to have an impact on the crops, right?
I have to find someone to ask when I go back. If it doesn’t work, I don’t have to worry about it. I will go to the town to buy food to deal with it, and I will wait until the spring.

"Sir, don't worry too much. I will try my best to find a way to solve this matter. Do my best and obey the destiny."

Back in 21, Ye Xun hesitated for a long time, but went to the farmer's market first.

"Boss, I want to ask you something." Ye Xun looked a little embarrassed.

There was a young man in his 20s sitting in the store. He was operating pesticides with his head down. His scalp was numb and he kept yelling, "Don't panic, I'll be right there! Little Mark dares to Let's play with the axe, watch me jump the stick."

Then the monkey jumped into the crowd with a stick and never fell to the ground until it died.

The young man raised his head in confusion, and asked blankly, "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

"Ah? Oh, I didn't disturb your operation, did I?" Ye Xun also just recovered, and apologized even more than before.

"It's okay, I'll kill you later, just tell me!" The young man returned confidently, wiped the sweat from his brow, and muttered, "What the hell is the broken air conditioner? The market doesn't know how to find someone to fix it. It's hot to death."

"That... I want to ask, I bought a batch of corn seeds from you two days ago, if it snows that winter, will it survive?"

"?" The young man was a little confused, and blinked his eyes: "Why don't you plant it now, isn't it just a matter of sprinkling it in winter?"
