God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 405
Xu Jingxing protected the old man with fear, and when the old man finished speaking, he hurriedly helped him down.

But I have to admit that the level of the old man is really impeccable. Although it seems that the old man's achievements in ancient architecture are not as dazzling as his achievements in science, but in terms of level, it is really on the same level, worthy of "Mr. Liang's student" status.

An ordinary small stone pavilion, although the workmanship and shape are good, but it is not the top antique building, but the old man insisted on analyzing this small pavilion from the beginning to the end from all aspects, and the analysis is so thorough. From materials to structure, from workmanship to shape, from style to verve, from site selection to couplets, it is clear, logical, rigorous and well-documented, just like writing a thesis.

Of course, this may not be a big deal for professionals who study ancient architecture, but for a wild man like him who has become a monk halfway, it is tantamount to an extraordinary fortune. The old man's analysis was quickly fully understood and absorbed by him.

That is to say, he is not interested in developing ancient architecture, otherwise, he would have hugged the old man's thigh and cried to be a teacher by this time.

After the old man finished speaking, he took a photo in front of the small pavilion as a souvenir.

Then we went to other attractions.

There are many other scenic spots on Lanke Mountain, but compared with Richi Pavilion, it is slightly inferior. It is not that it is not beautiful, but that it lacks an ancient charm.Of course, the Richi Pavilion is just a stone bridge and a stone pavilion, which is actually quite boring, but coming to this kind of place to see the scenery is secondary, and feeling the cultural atmosphere here should be the first priority.

If you just want to see the scenery, there are many scenic spots in Kecheng.

After wandering around, at about eleven o'clock, he saw the old man's face showing a tired look, and quickly said: "Old man, let's go back?"

"Go back, go back," the old man nodded obediently, but changed his voice and said: "But don't go back to the hotel, find a place to eat before going back."

"Okay, it's up to you," he nodded, which was not too much to ask, and he thought so too.

When going down the mountain, the old man walked even slower. He planned to go down with his back on his back, but the old man refused. Obviously, what he said earlier about asking him to climb the mountain with his back on his back was just a joke.

But considering the old man's disobedient character, this is normal.

The two of them walked down the mountain slowly, at eleven o'clock, and when they reached the old lady selling chess at the foot of the mountain, it was already a little bit faster. He didn't show even the slightest hint of impatience during the whole process, but kept walking beside the old man. Half a step to the side, because this is going down the mountain, we must prevent the old man from falling forward.

I took the ten sets of Go that I ordered from the old lady who sold chess, went back to the car, searched the Internet, and found a chaotic store that claims to be a century-old store. I read the reviews and said it was good, so I asked the old man, "How about this one?" ?”

The old man saw that it was a wonton shop, his eyes lit up, "This is good."

After all, he is an elderly person, and he can't eat hard dishes, so he just eats this kind of food that is easy to digest. Xu Jingxing went to eat wontons at noon, which shows his care.

The area of ​​this wonton shop is small, but it looks clean and refreshing. It doesn’t look like a century-old shop from the facade, but after entering, I found that the furnishings and layout of the shop reveal a little ancient meaning, and It's not the kind of deliberately old, but a very natural and pure sense of time accumulation.

For example, those old catalpa wood tables and chairs, the old-fashioned counters that are rubbed and polished, and the old-fashioned mechanical clocks standing against the wall, as well as the reputation of the catchy cabbages of the waiters, it really feels like returning to the former dynasty .

Xu Jingxing was alright, he just found it a bit novel, but the old man's eyes instantly lit up like light bulbs.

After sitting down, the waiter wrapped in an apron ran over with a small but old-looking copper pot, poured tea for the two of them and asked, "You two, what would you like to eat?"

Before Xu Jingxing could speak, the old man said carelessly, "Three big bowls of fresh meat, ten scones."

"Okay, drink tea first, it will be ready soon," the waiter put the copper pot on the table, and then shouted to the kitchen: "Three large bowls of fresh meat wontons, ten scones."

When the waiter left, Xu Jingxing said with a smile: "Master, it seems that you are very familiar with this store?"

"Yeah, it's quite familiar. It's been decades, and the tables, chairs, benches, and counters are still the same. The moment I walked in, I felt like I was back decades ago. At that time, I was still very young," The old man said with emotion.

"You mean, these tables and chairs are decades old?"

"Decades? No, it should be more than 100 years. When I first came here, these tables and chairs looked like this."

"Good guy, the wood in this house of feelings is actually antiques," Xu Jingxing clicked his tongue and praised sincerely. This is the century-old shop he imagined.The real heritage of a century-old store is either hanging a signboard and decorating it in an antique style, or it is a century-old store. This kind of quiet but long-standing heritage is a good thing that money can’t buy.

To put it bluntly, although the tables and chairs in this room are antiques, if you really want to sell them in the antique market, you can sell them for not much money, because the materials of these tables and chairs are ordinary and the workmanship is very simple. In addition, there is no decorative workmanship, and there is a clumsy taste from the inside to the outside, which has almost no collection value.

However, in this store, these tables and chairs are a golden signboard that cannot be measured by money.

In other words, these aged tables and chairs are only valuable if they are placed in this store.

Similarly, this store can only be regarded as a real century-old store when it has these old tables and chairs, because people now come here to eat, not necessarily because of how delicious the wontons here are, but because they like to taste these wontons. An environment with a sense of time.Without these tables and chairs, this kind of environment will be greatly reduced, or even if there is nothing left, this store can't be regarded as a century-old store.

While Xu Jingxing was feeling emotional, he suddenly felt some movement in the Ruyi glove on his right hand, and at that time he found signs of spiritual energy.

With a thought in his heart, he put his palms on the smooth, flat and thick catalpa wood tables. Sure enough, he found the existence of spiritual energy in these tables. It adds up to a lot.

After swallowing quietly, he sucked out the spiritual energy inside calmly, followed the same pattern, sucked up the chair under his buttocks and the table behind him, and then cast his eyes on other old tables and chairs.
