Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 186 Fish Balls

Zhang Yaohua traveled to several cities and finally found several long-lost national treasures.

There are still some that have been lost overseas, so let’s give up for now!For example, some of the twelve zodiac animal heads are still lost overseas and have not been recovered.

In addition, there are some lost at the bottom of the sea, such as the skull fossil of Peking Man.

When he returned home, the family was preparing to move into the villa.

"I'm home?"

Zhang Yaohua nodded: "I went to find something."

He didn't tell his family what it was specifically.

Father Zhang said: "Someone is looking for you."

Zhang Yaohua said he knew and had already contacted him.

Unexpectedly, the group of people were so impatient that they came to the village in advance to wait.

Mom is handling a large pot of naga fish.

"Mom! Do you want to make fish balls with all these fish?" Zhang Yaohua asked.

"Yeah! Make fish balls. Your dad bought them. He said they are cheap now, only about ten yuan."

The real name of the fish is the multi-toothed snake mullet.

This kind of fish inhabits sea areas with sandy and muddy bottoms. It is carnivorous and usually stays motionless on the sand. The patterns on its body are a good camouflage. Sometimes it will bury its entire body in the sand with only its eyes exposed, waiting for prey to swim. When the time passes, he jumps up and devours it.

The meatballs made by Brother Fish are good, full of flavor and very chewy.

Its meat is tender but has many thorns.Marine fish with many spines are relatively rare, and the nugget fish is one of them.

"If you ask me, why bother? If you want to eat fish balls, just buy them!" Zhang Yaowei said.

I didn't say it before.

But now, the family is not short of money, so there is no need to make yourself so tired.Making meatballs is quite tiring, and it is not easy to make fish balls into fish balls.

"What to buy? It tastes better if you make it yourself. Last time you bought it outside, you didn't even know if it was made of fish." My mother disagreed.

Fine!Zhang Yaowei was speechless.

Please help. First of all, you have to clean the fish and put it on an anvil, cut the head, remove the tail, peel off the skin, use a knife to pick out the fish meat, and chop it finely.

The fish cannot be sliced ​​with a knife to prevent the small fish spicules and the red meat on the skin from being mixed into the fish.This deboning skill is an authentic traditional craft.

The beating technique is the key to making fish balls.

"You're here to fight, why do you want your brother to fight?" Mom glared at Zhang Yaowei.

"I'll just come." Zhang Yaohua.

Mom is acting like he can't do any heavy work.As long as it is complicated physical work, let the second brother do it. In the eyes of outsiders, isn't this partiality?
It’s just that everyone takes it for granted.

no way!From childhood to adulthood, Zhang Yaohua had good academic performance.

Children with good grades don't have to do heavy work.

This point, not to mention the Zhang family, the whole village thinks there is nothing wrong with it.

What?do you have any opinion?

Then if you come back with good grades, you won't have to work.

The brother consciously grabbed the tool and started beating it rhythmically.

The tapping movement should be even and strong. It usually takes thousands of tappings to see the mucilage of the fish meat seeping out, which is called "spitting", and the fish balls will be crispy.

So, trying to eat good meatballs can be quite tiring.

If you want to save trouble, you can just use a meat grinder. The result will be less authentic, but you can still eat it.The ones sold outside are made by meat grinders. It is impossible to beat them hundreds or thousands of times by hand. It is too time-consuming and costly.

The fish balls are ready and cooking!
Soon after, those people came smelling the smell.Headed by Curator Bai and the big collector named Ma, they were a large group of people.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang! I'm here this time, sorry to bother you."

Zhang Yaohua shook hands with them one by one and got to know each other. "What are you talking about! My room is a bit cramped and I didn't greet you well. Please forgive me."

After a few polite exchanges, we finally got to the point.

Zhang Yaohua took out the "Preface to the Lanting Collection".

"Look slowly."

Mom invited them to eat fish balls.

But how can these people still think about eating fish balls now?In order not to disturb the family eating fish balls, they even proposed to take it to another place for identification.

"Then let's go to the elementary school!" Zhang Yaohua suggested.

"Okay, please lead the way."

They came to the primary school. The interior of the primary school has been renovated and the village committee spent some money.

A group of experts couldn't wait to appreciate it.

They identified, discussed, verified, etc. at the same time.

Zhang Yaohua stayed for a while, feeling bored and unable to get in a word, so he ignored them.

This group of people spent half a day making the appraisal, and the discussion was very intense.

Now, they are divided into two factions.One group believes that this is Wang Xizhi's original work; the other group believes that it is a Tang Dynasty copy and not an authentic work.

The only thing I didn't say was a modern fake.

After all, the people who come here are all people with two skills.This "Preface to the Lanting Collection" can be seen as not simple in terms of calligraphy skills or the paper quality of the painting core.

Therefore, whether it is Wang Xizhi's original work or not, it is still very precious.

"Mr. Zhang, are you interested in changing hands? I can suggest that the National Museum repurchase it at a high price." Director Bai said to Zhang Yaohua.

Zhang Yaohua shook his head slightly: "I plan to collect this calligraphy treasure myself."

"Listen to me, Xiao Zhang..." Director Bai became anxious.

According to his investigation, Zhang Yaohua is not a professional collector and does not understand collecting.The reason why I came into contact with antique art was an antique shop owner named Tang.

Before that, the lost Qingniu Inkstone was also found.

I have to lament that this man's luck is very good, allowing him to continuously pick up lost national treasures and cultural relics.

But this is a calligraphy work!

The collection of ancient calligraphy and paintings is very particular. If they are not properly preserved, they can be easily damaged.

He really hoped that Zhang Yaohua could be transferred to a professional museum for safekeeping.

"Old Bai, don't worry. I have another item that I want you to take a look at and identify it."

This time, Zhang Yaohua recovered several national treasures.

One of them is indeed better left to the state for safekeeping.

That is Chuan Guo Yuxi.

The jade seal of Chuan Guo has a very important symbolic meaning to the country.

But asking him to hand it over for free, he couldn't do it.It shouldn’t be too much to ask for one or two small goals in a symbolic way, right?
"Oh? Let me take a look and help with the identification. It's just a little effort." At this moment, Director Bai didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and didn't worry about it.

He is now focused on the "Preface to the Lanting Collection", thinking about how to persuade Zhang Yaohua to transfer it to the museum.

He could not do such a shameless act by persuading others to hand it over for free.But this is paid!Price can be negotiated.

Zhang Yaohua brought a box, which contained the Imperial Seal. He dug it out of a ruins in Henan without spending any money.

There are several theories about the last appearance of the jade seal passed down from the country, but the more credible one is that after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, when Emperor Li Congke of the late Tang Dynasty burned himself, that is, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, this jade seal had already disappeared.

Some people will say, that’s not right!It also happened in the Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di went to fight the Mongols whenever they had trouble. The main reason was to retrieve the jade seal passed down to the country.

However, this is only a possibility. There is no complete historical evidence to prove that the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty obtained the imperial seal.
