Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 170 Celadon antique? and early winter mushrooms

This person was none other than Zhang Zhigen, as his uncle Li Baiquan said. This person didn't come yesterday, so Lin Heng thought he wouldn't come.

"What's going on?" Lin Heng stopped and looked at him and asked.

Zhang Zhigen didn't say anything. He walked up to Lin Heng, glanced at Xiulan, pulled Lin Heng aside and asked in a low voice: "Well, I heard that you shot a leopard. Is the leopard whip still there?"

Lin Heng nodded and said, "While it's still there, I only sold a little bit of meat and didn't want to sell the rest. Mainly, I couldn't sell it for much money."

Zhang Zhigen was overjoyed when he heard this. He looked at Lin Heng and said, "I want to buy your leopard whip. You can decide on the right price."

Lin Heng glanced at him and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, actually I really don't want to sell it. I'm not sure if I can get a second piece of this good stuff. I want to dry it and keep it."

Zhang Zhigen was not stupid, and he quickly understood that as a householder with ten thousand yuan, Lin Heng was not short of money at all, and leopard whips were hard to come by, so it was unrealistic to buy them with money.

He thought for a while and said, "How about I exchange antiques for them? I have some old objects left over from the past at home. I wonder if you can appreciate them?"

Hearing this, Lin Heng was not eager to express his position, but looked embarrassed: "That's okay, but I can't be sure whether the old things in your house are genuine or fake."

Zhang Zhigen patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I can guarantee that at least they are from the Qing Dynasty, and some may be older."

Lin Heng thought for a moment: "Let's do this. I'll go to your house tomorrow and talk about it then. Now I'm getting ready to go up the mountain and I really don't have time to do this."

He was not anxious at all, what was anxious was Zhang Zhigen.

In fact, he felt that something like the leopard whip might not be that effective, but he couldn't help but most people believed it.

But of course he wouldn't refuse if he could get a good price.

Zhang Zhigen couldn't wait any longer and said anxiously: "Can't we do it now? People say the fresher the food is, the better. You and I can go look at it now and I can give you some compensation."

"No, I agreed today that I will go hiking with my wife. Tomorrow my sister will go to school and there will be no one to look after the children." Lin Heng shook his head. He was not particularly interested in antiques.

Zhang Zhigen was anxious and went directly to Xiulan to put in a good word.

Xiulan was helpless and glanced at Lin Heng: "Then go with Uncle Zhang. His home is not far away. You should go back in time."

Lin Heng had no choice but to nod, looked at him and said, "Okay, Uncle Zhang, whatever you want to buy, I'll take it directly to your house."

Zhang Zhigen thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it this way. You take the leopard whip, balls and heart with you, and I want them all."

Lin Heng looked at him and said, "That's no problem, but these three things are the essence of leopards, and they are not cheap."

Zhang Zhigen waved his hand: "Then why don't I use three old objects to change my career? It's really unpleasant for you, a young man, to talk."

Lin Heng was not annoyed and said with a smile: "It depends on what kind of old item it is. Different items have different prices."

Zhang Zhigen looked at him and said, "Let's put it this way, I have a lot of old things in my house. You can choose them yourself. It depends on your discernment. I don't know the specific value."

"That's okay." Lin Heng nodded, and the three of them went back to the house to get the leopard whip, eggs, heart, and a piece of leopard meat with bones.

After telling Xiulan something, Lin Heng and Zhang Zhigen went to his house together. His house was halfway up the mountain on the other side of the river. The two of them walked up the mountain for half an hour to get there.

There was a large lotus pond in front of his house, with a ditch on the left. The two of them walked along the edge of the ditch to his house.

Zhang Zhigen's family also has a mud house. Since he is over 40 years old and has no heirs, his family consists of just him, his mother, and his wife.

"Lin Heng, would you like to drink some water before reading?" Zhang Zhigen looked at Lin Heng and asked.

"I'm in a hurry, so I don't need to drink water." Lin Heng shook his head. He wasn't thirsty either.

Zhang Zhigen didn't waste any time, nodded and said, "Okay, follow me upstairs, and I'll show you around."

Lin Heng put down his things, and the two of them went up to his earth building together, and saw his so-called antiques in a room upstairs.

There are quite a lot of things. At first glance, there are thirty or forty items, but I don’t know if these are all.

"The things are all here. Grab three of whatever you like." Zhang Zhigen handed the flashlight to Lin Heng and said.

"Okay." Lin Heng took a flashlight and looked carefully.

Most of them are pottery, which looks really simple. There are only a dozen pieces of porcelain, mostly bowls and plates, and four porcelain vases.

Lin Heng looked at the pottery first and found that there was nothing special about it, so he focused his attention on the porcelain. Most of them are blue and white porcelain plates with bright blue flowers on them, and the styles are also very ordinary.

He picked one up. There was a red seal on the bottom, but he didn't recognize it. There is no way, I have never come across anything like this in my previous life.

But he knew there was a porcelain plate inside. The porcelain plate was really light blue in color, and it had dense cracks on it, which looked like it was broken.

But it is smooth and soft in the hand, and the color is also pleasing to the eye, as if it is the color of the sky after the rain has cleared.

He had seen a similar introduction in his previous life, saying that this kind of thing was celadon fired from the Ru kiln in the Song Dynasty, and it was said to be very valuable.

But as a layman, he couldn't tell whether this thing was real or fake.

"I'll take this." Lin Heng thought for a while and took it directly.

Anyway, if you can't tell the truth from the fake, then just look at the valuable and beautiful things and take them. If they are real, you will make money with them. If they are fake, then treat them as a good deed.

"I want the vase and the jar for the remaining two." Lin Heng then took out a long-necked, round-bellied, trumpet-mouthed porcelain vase, and a round, round-bellied porcelain vase.

Both of these have blue patterns on them, which are different from the cyan porcelain plate just now.

"Are you sure you've made your choice?" Zhang Zhigen said with a smile.

Lin Heng nodded: "I don't know the goods either. I always choose whichever one looks good."

"I don't know anyone, and I don't know where to sell it. If you know the channel, I can give you an introduction fee." Zhang Zhigen said with a smile,

After saying that, he grabbed a handful of copper coins from the window sill next to you and gave it to Lin Heng. He said with a smile, "This thing is not valuable, so you can take it back and play with it."

"Okay." Lin Heng took it and looked at it. There were four characters written on it: Yongzheng Tongbao. This was a copper coin from the Yongzheng period and it should not be fake, but he didn't know if it was worth anything.

Lin Heng went downstairs and wrapped the porcelain with some bristles. He looked at Zhang Zhigen and said again: "Uncle Zhang, I advise you to go to the hospital for a check-up if you have time."

He still believes in modern medicine more than folk remedies.

"You don't have to worry about it." Zhang Zhigen shook his head.

"Okay, I'm leaving." Lin Heng spread his hands. This was just a suggestion. There was nothing he could do if people didn't appreciate it.

The journey home was all downhill, and he ran back home in more than ten minutes.

Xiulan was a little surprised to see him come back so soon: "Come back so soon?"

Lin Heng said with a smile: "Of course, I'm still thinking that we can go hiking. It's not even ten o'clock yet, so there's still time."

Caiyun hugged Xiaoxia and said, "Second brother, show me the porcelain you returned."

Lin Heng nodded and took out the porcelain one by one.

Caiyun said in surprise: "These three are all very beautiful. Even if they are fake, it's a big loss."

Xiulan held up the blue floral porcelain plate and said, "This porcelain plate is so beautiful. Why don't you get two more of these?"

Lin Heng spread his hands and smiled: "I think about it too, but this is the only one."

"Okay then." Xiulan said with some pity.

The two put the three porcelain pieces into the cabinet in the bedroom, then coaxed Xiaoxia, picked up their tools and set off with Xiongba.

Xiong Ba walked in front to clear the way, Xiulan walked in the middle, and Lin Heng walked in the back. This time there was nothing to delay. The two of them made their way to the beam and entered the tall oak forest.

"After walking so far, I finally saw one."

Lin Heng saw a cluster of yellow-brown mushrooms on a dry tree stump. Like the tea tree mushrooms, these mushrooms grew out of a growing point, with dozens or twenty mushrooms growing in clusters.

Wild enoki mushrooms are also called winter mushrooms here, and they are one of the mushrooms that can still come out in winter.

The cap of this thing is yellow, with a maximum diameter of no more than seven centimeters, and the average diameter is only three or four centimeters. There is no stipe on the stipe, and there are tiny hairs on it.

The morning frost will have just melted, causing the caps to feel slimy to the touch.

Xiulan looked over: "You are so lucky, I found some fungus."

Lin Heng grinned: "This one is only half a catty. I guess others have already visited this forest."

Wild enoki mushrooms are much more delicious than artificially cultivated ones. The fungus has a richer flavor, has a good taste and will not clog your teeth. It is a very good fungus.

Xiulan also nodded: "Yes, so we can just look along the road and go directly to a farther place."

The two of them took Xiongba to the Tongshu Valley very quickly, and picked up a cluster of oyster mushrooms on the way. These mushrooms also grew in clusters, growing on tree stumps. They were large white clusters that were easy to identify.

Whether it is enoki mushrooms or oyster mushrooms, you can harvest a lot as long as you find them. They are clustered so that each cluster weighs at least half a catty.

On both sides of Tongshugou, the two of them didn't get much. This place supposedly had a lot, but it was obviously already visited.

"We can only go further." Xiulan pouted and said.

When she goes into the mountains, she always puts her hair into a ponytail, hanging down from her shoulders to her chest. She has the charming temperament of the sister next door.

Lin Heng nodded and said: "This is the only way."

The two of them climbed along the pine forest next to them in the direction of Baishigou. The pine needles were so slippery that they would fall down from time to time and had to be beaten with wooden sticks to continue going up.

"Wangwang~~"

As they were about to go up the mountain, Xiongba called out from a position thirty meters ahead and to their left.

"what's that?"

The two walked over together with curiosity.

I was stunned when I saw the thing. I thought it was an oyster mushroom or an enoki mushroom, but I didn't expect that there was a piece of morel here.

Xiulan said in surprise: "This is really an unexpected surprise, quite a lot."

Lin Heng also nodded repeatedly. Morels rarely bloomed this season, so it was a surprise to see them.

After picking them all, there were more than 30 morels, weighing almost two kilograms. The fresh morels are even more delicious when you take them home to make mushroom soup hot pot.

"Good dog, I'll give you some meat when I get home." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Woof woof~~"

Xiongba turned around in a circle and hugged Lin Heng's legs, as if to say that you are really a good master.

After crossing the mountain, the two of them didn't search much in the woods, because the places where enoki mushrooms grow are closer to the valleys, so there wasn't much hope on the mountain.

Occasionally, Xiongba would notice something, and the two of them would run over and take it off.

Accelerating all the way, the two of them arrived at the lower reaches of Baishigou at noon. Going up from here is the place where they last hunted yellow muntjac and caught old turtles.

This place is also an old forest, and the trees are all thirty centimeters in diameter. There are also many fallen trees in the forest, which is the place where fungi are most likely to appear.

Xiulan pointed to an elm tree stump in front of her and said, "Look at the many enoki mushrooms. No one should have been to this place before."

Lin Heng also looked excited: "This is where we discovered the enoki mushroom nest."

The two of them hurriedly ran over to pick it up. It was so refreshing to pick up a cluster of at least half a kilogram of mushrooms. After a while, they each picked up more than ten kilograms, which was very heavy.

Lin Heng couldn't believe how fragrant this thing would be when cooking hot pot when he smelled the alluring aroma of the mushrooms.

Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and said, "Should we refresh our stomachs or continue searching?"

"Look again, I'm not very hungry yet." Lin Heng shook his head.

The two of them had already agreed to take the left bank when going up and the right bank when coming back, so that neither side would fall behind.

There seemed to be no oyster mushrooms around here, and Hericium erinaceus was not seen very much. A cluster of enoki mushrooms could be seen a few meters apart.

He also found wild boar and muntjac excrement along the way. Although it wasn't very fresh, it couldn't be more than a month old.

He brought a bow and arrow today, so he naturally had ideas about hunting. He was observing along the way. He did hear birds chirping, but they were far away.

There was a lot of wind in the valley, but fortunately the two of them had been exercising, so it wasn't too cold.

After walking up five or six hundred meters, she came to a large bluestone that was slightly sheltered from the wind. Xiulan said, "Let's rest here for a while and eat. I'm hungry."

"Okay, I'm actually hungry too." Lin Heng nodded.

The lunch that Xiulan brought was a pie made of leopard meat and pork that was prepared yesterday. They built a fire around a stove and the two of them baked the pie and ate it.

The baked pie is crispy on the outside and soft and fragrant on the inside. One bite is full of meat filling, and the aroma can spread far and wide.

Xiongba watched eagerly from the side, almost drooling.

"Give."

Lin Heng threw one to it, and Xiongba caught it and started eating it.

After eating, he looked at Lin Heng eagerly again.

"This is the last one. Work hard this afternoon." Lin Heng glanced at it and gave it another one. He couldn't bear to give it any more.

After finishing the pie, Xiulan took out the large water glass, took a sip, and handed it to Lin Heng.

"Let's rest for a while before leaving." Lin Heng said after drinking water. Their legs were a little sore from driving all the way here.

"it is good."

Xiulan nodded and leaned on Lin Heng's shoulder.

The scenery in early winter was not very attractive, but the silent forest was quite enjoyable for the two of them, giving it a sense of tranquility and tranquility.

After the fire burned for a while, Lin Heng peed to put out the fire, then buried it with soil, and the two continued to set off.

The fungi they picked up on the way forward were all Enoki mushrooms, but they were not bored because the mushrooms were really delicious.

While walking, Xiulan suddenly stopped and looked at the things in front of her with a look of surprise: "Husband, come here quickly, I found something good."

It was a bit beyond her expectation to find something like this in the woods.
