Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 92, The Eyes of the Ancient Book
After leaving the alley and coming outside, there are many pedestrians on the road at this time.

Seeing that the shops on the side of the road had already opened their doors one after another, he aimed at a hardware store and went in directly.

煤球炉子（12块5）、铝水壶（7块）、铁锅（3块5）各买了一个。

Of course, I bought a large iron pot, which happened to be used with two pots, and it cost more than 20 yuan.

After buying something, I hung it on the car and went to a nearby store to buy soap, soap, toothbrush and toothpaste, 3 thermos bottles and the like.

It is more convenient to drink water in the space, so I bought another enamel tank.

I went again with just over 20 yuan.

Watching the vegetable market open, I went in and bought all the tofu tickets I changed last time, and bought some spices such as star anise, cinnamon, and fennel.

Spices are indeed not cheap, they cost more than one catty per piece.

Looking at the items in the non-staple food store, peach cakes do not need a ticket, and the price is not expensive, 5 cents and 4 catties, and I bought five catties.

After buying everything, he was ready to go shopping nearby.

When the car came to a shop, he stopped.

Commission the store.

The reason why I know this kind of shop is because of Zhang Laohan.

The entrusted store is the place Zhang Laohan will go every time he comes to Kyoto to buy goods.

There is no dedicated second-hand recycling market in Kyoto.

A consignment store is something that recycles all kinds of used goods.

Originally, it was to help the neighbors to consign and sell such valuable items as furniture. Later, the common people also sent over clothes, pots and pans and other things at home to sell on behalf of them.

There are too many people sent, and the registration management is inconvenient.

After the scale has been formed, it has gradually formed a place that only buys at a low price and then sells it, and no longer accepts the neighborhood sales business.

It is also a must-visit place for poor families in Kyoto.

The car was parked and he went straight in.

As for losing the car, he wasn't worried about it.

Today's bicycles are equivalent to the cars of later generations, and once they are lost, it will be a big case.

There is a steel seal on it, so it would be unlucky not to know the source.

When I bought it from the repair shop, I gave a receipt!

After entering, the place is not small, about two hundred square meters, and there are many things in it.

An old man in the store was looking at the plates with a magnifying glass at the bar, and there were two women in the hall sorting things.

There are already quite a few people wandering around inside, picking things out, and they seem to be people from relatively poor families.

As for him coming in, the few people just took a look and ignored him.

Just watch out for him not to steal.

After Yang Xiaole came in, he looked over there.

On the left is furniture and such.

Old wardrobes, tables, benches.

Everything is usable, and the paint on the furniture has almost faded for the old ones, making them look mottled.

In the middle are some common items, old radios, alarm clocks, watches, pots and pans, thermos bottles, basically everything...

These things were either not wanted by the rich in the family, or they were moved and sold.

Because the transfer between cities is very frequent these days.

I heard that more than half of the skilled workers in the No. [-] Textile Factory are female workers transferred from the textile factory in Haishi.

After all, Kyoto has been underdeveloped in industry since ancient times.

It also began to develop after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

When he came to the furniture, he looked at it curiously.

What did he do in his previous life?

In order to fool those people, I really studied hard, not to mention proficient, but at least most of them can speak clearly and logically.

In front of knowledgeable people, he is like a boss.

But in front of people who don't understand, he is a brick.

Most of them are ordinary wood. Although the paint has peeled off, he still can't see it.

Instead, there are two mahogany armchairs.

It's a pity that it is incomplete, and it is not very valuable chicken wing wood.

After looking around, he left.

In the middle, the old man was still looking at the previous plate.

On the shelf behind the old man, there are still many bottles and cans, and there are many good things in them.

He looked down at the signature.

Instantly knew what this thing was.

"Qing Daoguang blue and white dish with lotus pattern"

Immediately tasteless.

There are very few imitations these days, so this should be the real thing.

But although this thing is also an official kiln, and it is blue and white porcelain, it is actually not as valuable as imagined.

The main reason is that Daoguang is poor!

Standing parts such as bottles and cans that require high craftsmanship cannot be made, so they can only be fired in small quantities, mainly for the bowls and plates that have a large number of stocks.

And this kind of plate with blue and white intertwined branches and lotus patterns is the most abundant one.

In future generations, there will be at most one hundred thousand.

It's not that he looks down on the hundreds of thousands.

It's just that it doesn't make much sense to get this thing so early, and it's okay to collect one or two for fun in the future.

If you want to collect it now, you only accept high-quality goods, and the space is so big, there is no place to put it if you make too much!
Otherwise, it would be a pity to ruin it later.

The old man may have heard him muttering the name of the flower plate just now, so he glanced at it: "Shout, little guy, do you know the words on it and know it belongs to Daoguang?"

That must be done!
The current characters are all traditional characters, and the simplified characters just started to be popularized the year before last, so you can read it!
Besides, could it be that the brush calligraphy in the previous life was for nothing.

"Oh, it seems like this kind of bowl is used to eat noodles."

After speaking, he looked at the shelf. There are some good things, but he doesn't need them yet.

But he still asked: "Master, how much is this?"

"Oh, this one? This 3 yuan 5, you want?"

"Thank you. I'll just ask."

Then, without looking again, she walked towards the daily necessities.

Don't worry now, there will be a lot of things in the future.

The old man watched him leave, then continued to look at the plate in his hand, and finally put the things on the shelf carefully.

This thing has to be sent to those high-end restaurants!
Strolled over to the old book.

There are also bookstores in the city, but there are not many books here.

There were already a few half-grown young men and women, picking and choosing.

Come and have a look.

Hey, there are really a lot of good things here. I have been in this world for so many years, and I just read some comic books to pass the time.

There are not many comic strips here.

And there are quite a few books published.

In the mainland, there are old books such as Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as well as some novels written by modern people.

There are also many books in foreign translations.

"War and Peace", "Anna Karenina", "The Red and the Black", "How the Steel Was Tempered?" ", "Crime and Punishment", "Russian Love History"...

There are many types.

After flipping through it casually, he smiled and asked the aunt next to him: "Auntie, how much is this copy?"

The aunt didn't speak, and a teenage boy next to him said:
"The price is different, a few cents for thinner ones, two or three cents for thicker ones, foreign books are more expensive, around 5 cents, it depends on what you want."

"Hey, thank you!"

Yang Xiaole thanked happily and began to choose.

Generally speaking, the price is less than one-tenth of the new book.

After picking twenty books in a row, he felt that it was enough for him to read for a while, so he stopped.

Putting the book aside, he came to the old clothes and took a look.

The clothes here are actually made of good wear-resistant materials. Although they are old, most of them have no patches or very few patches.

Didn't bother with these old clothes.

Women's florists give a lot, but men's flowers are unnecessary.

I have to explain, it's very annoying, it's better to give the family something to eat and drink.

When I came to the old iron pots, they were all greasy iron pots that were almost scrapped, and they were still the small pots used in the city.

I wasn't going to buy it.

Yang Xiaole thought that the school had a task, and everyone had to hand in part of the iron utensils. This old iron pan was just for the task, so he took two small iron pans.

The uncle looked at him and asked, "Are you sure you want to buy it? Where's your lord?"

"Oh, my father has gone to my aunt's house. I want this."

The old man didn't say anything more after hearing the words.

拿着算盘珠子在那里拨弄着，一边拨弄一边说道：“这本书2毛2，这本1毛3，这本6毛1…铁锅两口1块2.…一共8块3毛8。”

Yang Xiaole nodded, it's okay, I choose thicker books.

The average price is around [-] cents per book.

Paid the money and didn't leave.

Instead, he was looking at the old man hesitating there.

"What's wrong? Isn't the money right?"

Seeing that he didn't leave and stared at him, the old man adjusted his glasses and asked strangely.

Yang Xiaole came back to his senses, "Oh, it's nothing, sir, I just want to ask, do you recognize these words?"

After speaking, he took out a piece of paper with three characters written on it.

It was he who messed up the title of the book and copied it.

"Hey! Xiaozhuan?"

Seeing himself on the paper, the old man was surprised, quickly picked up the paper, adjusted his glasses and took a closer look.

Hearing the old man's name, Yang Xiaole felt happy for a while.

It's really seal script.

"Body, Yang, I don't know the last one at all!"

The old man babbled intermittently.

Yang Xiaole was surprised after hearing the name the other party uttered.

Is it a regimen?Or health formula?

Is it for health care?
Why do you want this thing?

After the old man finished reading, he put down the paper and said to him: "Look, this is nurturing, nurturing nurturing, this is the body, the body of the body, this should be able to be seen. In the end, I don't know. Where were things copied from? After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the characters were unified into Xiaozhuan, which is this kind of characters.”

Yang Xiaole glanced at it.

It turns out that it is not about keeping in good health, but about keeping in good health.

After the Qin Dynasty?
Could it be that Qin Shihuang used it to practice immortality?
I couldn't help but curse in my heart.

However, after hearing the old man say the words, I feel that they really look alike. Yangzi is similar in shape to a cockroach, and the two protruding heads are the tentacles of a cockroach.

The shape of the body is also more obvious.

That is, the last word is very cumbersome, and there is no reference at all.

He raised his head and said to the old man, "I saw this on a carving. I just want to ask, do you always know so many small seal characters?"

Since it is from the Qin Dynasty, it certainly cannot be said that it was seen in books.

It can only be said to be seen on the engraving.

After reading it, the old man hurriedly asked, "Do you know where the things are?"

"I know, but the things are gone, but I copied the text on it, just curious about what is written on it."

After speaking, he took out a notebook.

This is what he sorted out in the space in the past few days, and only one of the repeated words is selected, so that no one will know the meaning of it.

In fact, there are still a few that he can guess.

But just to be on the safe side, he copied them all down.

The old man took the things and looked at them, and flipped through some of them casually.

He closed the book again.

Handing the things back, he said to him: "I only know a few simple ones, and I don't know most of them."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was disappointed for a while, thinking that a master came!
"Then do you know any experts or professors who know this kind of characters?"

Hearing this, the old man thought for a while, "Well, let me introduce someone to you, you go to him, he is very interested in this, if you give him this thing, maybe there will be a reward."

"Oh, who is it?"

Yang Xiaole became vigilant for a while.

Don't catch him!
The old man wrote an address and a number on a piece of paper and handed it to him: "Professor Chen Fuhai from the Inscriptions Showroom of the Old Works Museum, he has done a lot of research on this. Call him before you go. He is not here this Sunday. Schools should be in museums."

"how much is this?"

Someone next to the thought room came to pay.

The old man didn't have time to talk to him at this time, and he paid the bill next to him.

"Master, thank you!"

Yang Xiaole took the things, took a look, thanked her and left.

After leaving the consignment store and coming outside, he hesitated for a while, wondering if he should go or not!
How will I explain it later!
After thinking about it, he decided to go and have a look.

He also thought about what to say.

No one in the Old Works Museum knows where it is.

Looking around, I saw a post office in the distance, and I was going to make a call there to ask.

When I came to the place, there were many people shouting there.

There is no way, the current communication equipment is backward, and you can't hear clearly unless you are very close.

There is no such problem in the urban area.

After waiting for a while, he was in line, and the operator looked at him and asked, "Where is the call?"

"Old Works Museum."

When the operator heard this, he nodded and operated there for a while.

The phone got through in no time.

It's just that no one answered the phone.

After waiting for 2 minutes, someone answered the phone: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Let me find Professor Chen Fuhai, is he there?"

"Oh, I am, what's the matter?"

"Oh, you are Professor Chen. I have some seal scripts for you to see. I wonder if you are interested."

"Xiaozhuan?"

The voice immediately became interesting.

"Yes, Xiaozhuan!"

"Where are you?"

"I'm here in Xidan, where can I find you?"

"How about this, you come to Xihua Gate, I will wait for you at the gate."

"Hey, okay, I'll be there right away."

Having said that, Yang Xiaole hung up the phone and asked the operator, "How much?"

"1 cents"

Yang Xiaole heard the words and handed him the money
The basic call fee is 3 cents for 3 minutes, and it costs [-] cents for [-] minutes if you make a call or not.

After leaving the post office and inquiring about the location of Xihua Gate, I rode a bicycle and headed towards my destination.

Ten minutes later, I came to a bridge beside the city wall, next to the Tongzi River that surrounded the entire old man. According to legend, people threw a lot of antiques and money into it.

But that was a few years ago.

After crossing the stone bridge, we came to a city gate. At this time, many people were buying tickets to enter.

When he came to the place, he immediately saw a little old man in his 50s looking around.

The other party was wearing a blue-gray one-inch shirt, gray trousers, and a thin body wearing a pair of reading glasses.

"Is it Professor Chen?"

Yang Xiaole came to the place and asked him a question.

The old man looked him up and down: "I am, did you call just now?"

"Oh, yes!"

Hearing this, the old man nodded, his voice was distorted, he thought it was an adult!
Did not expect to be a child.

But he didn't care about this, and hurriedly asked: "Where is the thing you said? Did you bring it?"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole hurriedly handed the things to him.

"I didn't bring anything with me, but I copied the content inside, take a look, I want to know what is written on it?"

Looking at the things he handed over, the old man frowned.

After opening it, I flipped through it, and then closed it again: "Did you copy it down? Where is the thing? I want to see it!"

What's the use for him to see this thing!
What he wants is something!

"Finished!"

The old man was puzzled for a while. "Finished? What did you practice?"

"Oh, I saw it in the commune. It was dug out from the river. They said that there might be iron in the green and black one, so they threw it into the furnace for refining."

Hearing Yang Xiaole's words, the old man touched his chest.

Quickly asked: "Do you know what it is?"

"It's an inscription!"

The old man became anxious when he heard the words: "Then how can it be refined! The green one is copper green, don't you know copper and iron? Violently send out heavenly things, violently send out heavenly things!"

Then he shook his head, there was no way, these people had almost no awareness of cultural relics protection.

Can't blame anyone!

Hastily put away the book in his hand.

Things are ruined, but this is a good thing, maybe something can be analyzed.

What he wants is the history recorded in it.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole hurriedly said: "Hey, Professor Chen, I want to know what is written on it, can you translate it for me?"

Hearing this, Professor Chen finally realized that this thing is not his!

Then he asked him: "Little comrade, how did you remember to record this? Can you give this to me? I'll give you five yuan."

"Oh, I like to practice calligraphy, and I'm more interested in this. I don't care about the money. I can give this to you, but I need to know what is written on it. Is that okay?"

Hearing his words, the old man frowned.

There are so many characters on it, there should be two or three thousand!
After thinking for a while, he said, "Well, you go in with me first."

He just got the thing, and he also wanted to know what was recorded in it.

Yang Xiaole was a little surprised, shouldn't this be checked slowly?
Take him in, can he come out so soon?

Although it was strange, he quickly agreed, pushed the car into the shed, and paid 2 cents for the parking fee.

And Chen Fuhai had already taken a ticket and handed it to him.

"Come on, come in."

After speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the museum.
