Chapter 13 [When You Are Youthful] You Can’t Feel the Heat in Landscape Paintings Carved with Red Carved Lacquer and Inlaid with Precious Jade

It is the grass under the scorching sun, the kittens under the shade of the garden, the pastries and incense along the street—this is the first time Guan Qi has seen such a heterogeneous old street.

In the ancient towns and streets that I visited in the early years of travel and study tours, they sold shoddy small wooden swords, wooden folding fans with five times the price, and prefabricated local specialties.

Guan Qi has long been tired of seeing this kind of tourist attractions that are copied and pasted like a model.Nowadays, it is rare to come across such an old street where "city-level, provincial-level, national-level intangible cultural heritage" and "century-old brands" are orderly hung on the signs.

After all, it is only summer vacation, and there is no May [-]st, [-]th, and Spring Festival bustle on Dongguan Street, and there are no tourists who go to this place of Qionghua just to win the name of "Fireworks in Yangzhou in March".

I ran all the way to the address sent by my buddy Gong Yusheng. There were not many people coming and going. There were only a few guqin sounds from the Guqin street near the front of the garden. very clear.

The fragrance of lotus root is refreshing, and a mouthful of sweetness and warmth spreads between the lips and teeth. The layer of lotus root powder wrapped in layers like shaking Yuanxiao turns into a crystal and elastic skin, which adds a bit of fun to chewing.

It made people take a bite, and then began to think about the next bite.It's like the sweetness and longing that the air in the south of the Yangtze River has been revealing to the northern girls-it won't make people feel bored.

After walking a few more steps, there was no one in front of a small shop. Guan Qi was in a daze for a moment, but saw Gong Yusheng waving to him inside the glass window.

Opening his eyes wide and staring at the people in the room, Guan Qi was stunned for a moment, his mind was attracted by the voice from the side, his eyes swept over the crowds of people in the hair accessories shop across the street, and the conversation of the young couple rang in his ears: "Don't go there, it looks expensive."

"It's not as expensive as you think. If you are interested, you can go and have a look." The store said out of good intentions, "I went to have a look before when I had time. The things are good, but some of them may not be used in normal times. The main thing is to look at them. home decoration style."

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper's good intentions did something bad.The young lovers were already worried about the high price, but after hearing about the restrictions on the decoration style, they felt a little more respectful and fearful, and they no longer wanted to set foot on the property.

"actually……"

"Come in quickly, don't you think it's so hot outside? Even if you see me, you don't know how to open the door and come in directly?" Gong Yusheng pushed the door open, and a gust of cold air gushed out from the store, directly interrupting the conversation with the young couple who wanted to explain. Guan Qi.

"Hey, you! I was just about to..."

Seeing that the young couple had already turned into the side alley, Guan Qi knew that it was too late for him to say anything.When I entered the door, I unceremoniously found a round stool and sat up.

When he had recovered his breath, Guan Qi's eyes fell on the round stool he was sitting on: "This one is quite similar to the photo you sometimes send. What is it called? What kind of knife?"

"It's really pretty, and the color isn't too bright, it's a bit quaint... You said it would be suitable for some film and television crews to ask you to make props. Isn't this a proper restoration?"

Gong Yusheng, as the person who has known Guan Qi since he was in kindergarten, has the most right to speak about how close he is to his children, but he still puts patience and disgust together, and teased Guan Qi a few words.

"I told you that my master is a famous master of hook knife painting in the factory. Be careful. I didn't see whether this chair was made by the master. Otherwise, if it costs tens of thousands of dollars, you can be careful that auntie will talk about you."

Guan Qi curled his lips when he heard this, but stood up quite honestly—money is not a problem, it’s just that his mother doesn’t talk about it, but if she starts talking about it, the whole family will suffer from everyone and things...

"Oh, I didn't see clearly. Master took me to make this. It's worthless, only one or two thousand. Sit down, sit down. If it breaks, I'll make it up again."

From childhood to adulthood, my mother often had to say a few words, to imitate Gong Yusheng's calmness, but who knew that there was such a vicious tongue behind the latter?

"Okay, don't sit still, I'll take you to see something nice."

　① 'Carving lacquer and embedding jade' and 'hook knife painting' both belong to the technique of painting on lacquer ware.

　　②The old street of Dongguan Street in Yangzhou is indeed relatively well done. Xie Fuchun, Yangzhou lacquerware and other intangible cultural heritage can be seen.

　　③ Lacquerware has collection value, so different people have different market prices for their works.
