Lin Yuan saw that this big man had talked to this point, so he had nothing to say. He had an idea, thought about it, and said, "Please tell Master Cheng Jiu, just say a person named Lin Yuan Bring him a generous gift tomorrow."

The big man nodded and smiled, agreeing. Lin Yuan returned to the Beijing ship and asked Han Mingguang: "Political Commissar, do you still remember the gift that the overseas Chinese gave us when we were in Indonesia?"

Han Mingguang sighed and said, "How can I not remember? You didn't see that old overseas Chinese holding my hand and crying. He kept telling me that in [-], his wife and His son was killed, and if we had an aircraft carrier at that time, his family would not have died tragically."

In 1000, with the acquiescence of the Indonesian government, a large-scale anti-Chinese incident occurred in Indonesia. More than [-] Chinese were killed, and many Chinese women were raped and killed.

Lin Yuan said: "In this era, that thing will never happen. Where is that thing stored?"

Han Mingguang said: "It's in our showroom."

The next day, Lin Yuan took the gift and came to Beishan again, and sure enough, he met the big man from yesterday, the big man was overjoyed when he saw Lin Yuan, and said, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Lin Yuan? You're really on time."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Visiting Master Jiu is a major matter for me, so how can we not be on time?" As he spoke, he handed over the gift box and said, "Please give this gift to Master Jiu."

The big man took the gift box with one hand, and said with a smile: "Master Jiu's rules, gifts from outsiders are to be seen first before giving away, and those who don't suit Master Jiu's taste will be smashed face to face, and Master Lin will not blame you for smashing your gift in a short while. "

As he said that, the big man put the gift box on the stone table, opened the gift box, took out the cotton stuffed inside the box, and revealed the real body of the gift. When the big man saw the gift, his eyes straightened immediately, and he couldn't say anything for a long time. talk!

In the gift box, lay a crystal clear porcelain bowl. The wall of the porcelain bowl was as thin as the wings of a cicada. The pattern on the wall of the bowl was a picture of a butterfly wearing a flower. The butterfly and flowers were lifelike. The most rare thing is: There are more than a dozen translucent dots inlaid in the pattern, which revitalizes the entire pattern like a finishing touch!The sun shines through the dots, making the porcelain bowl look like a dream.

The hands of the big man holding the gift box were a little trembling, and he hurriedly put the cotton back into the box respectfully, held the box in both hands, handed it to Lin Yuan, stepped aside, bowed and made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Master Lin, you Please first, the little one will show you the way later."

Climbing up the stone steps, Lin Yuan came to Zhuangzi. It is not so much Zhuangzi as it is a stockade. As soon as he enters the stockade, he seems to have returned to the Ming Dynasty. The people inside are still in Ming Dynasty costumes.Lin Yuan thought Cheng Jiuzhen's house would be magnificent and luxurious, but he didn't expect that the big man took him to a small courtyard behind the village. There was a bamboo gate and a bamboo fence in the small courtyard, where cocks and ducks played, and there was a thatched hut in the middle of the courtyard.

The big man stopped at the door and called out, "Grandpa Ninth, we have a distinguished guest!"

As soon as the door was opened, a hale and hearty old man came out, opened the courtyard door, and said with a smile: "The flower path has never been swept by guests, and the Pengmen is now opened for you. The distinguished guests came to the door, and they never greeted them from afar. I hope to forgive their sins. "

Lin Yuan thought this Cheng Jiuye would be so arrogant, but he didn't expect him to be such a polite and easy-going old man, the big man smiled and said: "Our Jiuye was annoyed by the Japanese, so we came up with such a way to avoid vulgar people. "

Lin Yuan didn't take it seriously, and presented the gift box, Cheng Jiuye invited Lin Yuan into the yard, sat at the bamboo table in the yard, opened the gift box, saw the porcelain bowl, couldn't help crying, he held the bowl Kneeling down facing the north, he lifted the porcelain bowl high above his head, touched his forehead to the ground, and cried, "My ancestors! God bless me! I, Cheng Jiuzhen, finally saw the Linglong bowl in my lifetime! "

Seeing Master Cheng Jiu kneeling on the ground, crying like a child, Lin Yuan quickly advised, "Master Jiu, get up quickly."

Cheng Jiuye cried for a while, then stood up again, sat back on the chair, looked at the bowl, and said: "Our ancestors followed Guo Xingye to Taiwan, and later Taiwan was also occupied by the Tartars, so we fled. After arriving here, generations have wanted to recast this exquisite bowl! But it has never been possible, and today I saw it, and the wish of our ancestors has come to an end!"

Lin Yuan understands that for a person who has studied the Linglong Bowl all his life, seeing the real thing will help him in making it.It was also understandable why Cheng Jiuye was so excited.

Lin Yuan knew that the exquisite bowl first appeared in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, and was gradually lost in the Qing Dynasty. In the 21st century, Chinese ceramic masters re-examined the craftsmanship of the exquisite bowl. The manufacture of this bowl is extremely difficult: first of all, the thin Like a cicada's wings, the bowl wall is as light as silk, and the rough embryo of the bowl wall is only two millimeters thick. When a shape is carved on such a thin embryo, if there is a slight breathlessness, or a slight shaking of the hand, the embryo will appear. Failure!

Lin Yuan knew that he had already impressed Master Cheng Jiu, so he said, "Master Jiu, my name is Lin Yuan, and I came here this time to ask for something important."

Cheng Jiuye said with a smile: "Please tell me, honorable guest. If you say a word, I will die, little old man!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "No, no, I want to ask, is there saltpeter on your mountain?"

Cheng Jiuye said: "To be honest, our Cheng family was able to burn the malachite green glaze thanks to the power of saltpeter! Does your honorable guest want this saltpeter?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Exactly!"

Cheng Jiuye smiled heartily, and said: "The saltpeter in our village is almost exhausted, we will go to pick saltpeter tomorrow, if you don't mind, you might as well go with us tomorrow."

Lin Yuan was about to resign, but Cheng Jiuye had already arranged for him to stay, so Lin Yuan had no choice but to agree.That night, at about three o'clock in the morning, Master Cheng Jiu came to call Lin Yuan himself. Lin Yuan followed the crowd up the mountain road and turned a few turns. The open space, the open space is as white as a thick layer of snow.

Lin Yuan took a closer look and saw that the "snow" was covered with small pieces like rock sugar, these small pieces stuck together, Cheng Jiuye smiled and said: "This is our saltpeter."

The so-called saltpeter, whose chemical composition is potassium nitrate, will automatically precipitate on saline-alkali ground.

So everyone began to sweep the saltpeter from the ground into the baskets, Cheng Jiuye said with a smile: "These are just nitrate soil, we have to process it when we go back to get the saltpeter."

A sense of disappointment suddenly enveloped Lin Yuan's heart. He originally thought that there would be a lot of saltpeter here, but unexpectedly, the scale of saltpeter here is far from enough for industrial production.

At this moment, a woman came crying and found a man crying: "The head of the house, it's terrible, the child is gone."

The man said, "Why is it gone?"

The woman said: "The child lost the sheep. I scolded him a few times. He must be so angry that he went out to look for the sheep!"

"Where did he leave the sheep?" asked the man.

The woman's complexion changed, and she pointed to the mountains outside the clearing and said, "He must have gone to the ghost land!"
