Who is my upstairs

Chapter 33
Compared to Yang Xiaofan who doesn't understand anything, Fu Yufang is a "knowledgeable" person. Every piece of furniture and decorations she sees is clearly marked with a price tag in her heart.

"Teacher, it's time to eat." Yang Xiaofan heated up the cooked food, and after 15 minutes, he called Fu Yufang into the dining room to eat.

Reluctantly looking away from the antiques in the Li family's ancestral house, Fu Yufang stepped into the dining room, and the smell of food wafted in the room.

"Smells so good, Xiaofan, your craftsmanship should be pretty good, right?"

The first time I saw the dishes made by Yang Xiaofan, Fu Yufang felt amazed, the dishes were very delicate, a bit like the work of a five-star chef in a hotel.

Yang Xiaofan was a little embarrassed when he heard this, thinking that when he was at home, his mother-in-law Zhang Min and ex-husband Xu Zhiwen either disliked the oil they made, or they thought they made it weak, and there was never a good time.

"Maybe not very tasty..."

Before Yang Xiaofan finished muttering, Fu Yufang picked up an ingot prawn with chopsticks and took a bite, feeling the ingenious combination of a light sweetness and a hint of saltiness, and the prawns were fried just right, crispy in the mouth,
After eating it in one bite, Fu Yufang was full of praise: "It's really delicious. Xu Zhiwen really has no vision. It's because he has no good luck to give up such a good wife."

Hearing Xu Zhiwen mentioned again, Yang Xiaofan remained silent for a while, and didn't say much.

As if seeing that Yang Xiaofan was not feeling well, Fu Yufang patted Yang Xiaofan's hand lightly, "Xiaofan, the teacher came today and saw such a big house, only you, and it was cleaned spotlessly, which means you are really A hard-working and virtuous woman is rare. It's Xu Zhiwen who doesn't know how to cherish you, haha, you are so virtuous, it's cheaper for the landlord to take care of the house so well."

After lunch, Yang Xiaofan cleaned up the dishes, and the two sat on the sofa and chatted again.

During the chat, Fu Yufang adjusted the golden glasses on her nose, and suddenly mentioned the two simple pottery pots in the house, "Xiaofan, I heard from Luoluo that there is an antique pottery pot in the house that can absorb water automatically? It is also engraved with mysterious ancient characters, can you show it to the teacher."

Yang Xiaofan suddenly understood that the benevolent master Yufang whom he hadn't seen for many years drove all the way to Li's ancestral house, maybe it wasn't just to see him.

She may have another purpose, that is, Fu Yufang also became interested in these two clay pots after hearing Lin Luoluo's description of the clay pots.

To be honest, Yang Xiaofan didn't want to show the pot to Fu Yufang, because it was Li Shaohuang's property after all, so it didn't seem good to show it to Fu Yufang without Li Shaohuang's consent, right?
She was thinking about how to respond to Fu Yufang's request in her mind, and she asked in a strange way: "I don't know why the teacher only wants to look at this clay pot. Is there anything unique about it?"

After finishing speaking, Yang Xiaofan regretted it, she was rarely so straightforward.

She suddenly realized that deep down in her heart, she was also full of curiosity about these two pots.

"Luoluo said, there are three identical clay pots. An old fortune-teller you met in the night market tried to trick you into taking the other two. The teacher suspects..."

Fu Yufang paused as she said this, a look of confusion flashed in her eyes, and then she said in a deep and low voice: "The teacher suspects that these three clay pots may have been used as a set of utensils in ancient times to interact with each other. If you can get these three together, As an archaeological research, there may be a major breakthrough for a series of historical discoveries at this stage."

Although Fu Yufang is only a middle school history teacher, her rigorous research on archeology and history is definitely not inferior to that of a university professor.It can even be said that Fu Yufang is a university professor. A well-known university once asked Fu Yufang to be a lecturer in the history department, but Fu Yufang refused for the sake of their students.

Yang Xiaofan also wanted to know the origin of the two pots.

Although it is not extremely unusual that clay pots can absorb liquids, it may be an illusion caused by the structure of the pot, or the texture, but it is also enough to prove that the wisdom of the ancients is beyond estimation.

With the knowledge of my benevolent master Yufang, if I saw those two pots with my own eyes, I should be able to guess one or two of them.

Taking out the two pots from the cabinet, Yang Xiaofan handed them to Fu Yufang.

Fu Yufang took out a magnifying glass from the inner pocket of the coat, and began to study it from one of the clay pots.

When the clay pot was held in her hand, Fu Yufang's eyes flashed with surprise. It was the first time she saw an ancient object that would automatically release chill.

After studying it carefully, Fu Yufang's eyes widened, staring at the words on the inner wall of the magnified clay pot, and then frowned.There are at least a few thousand pieces of cultural relics in her hands, but she just can't understand why this thing releases a cold touch that almost reaches sub-zero.

After a while, she stretched her brows, and said to Yang Xiaofan in a rather joyful tone: "The shape of this clay pot is very simple, and the characters look a bit like cultural relics unearthed in the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Among the batch of cultural relics unearthed in the Yin Ruins earlier, among them There is a pottery pot that is very similar to these two, and this pottery pot and the pottery pot unearthed from the Yin Ruins should belong to the same period of the Yin and Shang Dynasties."

Yang Xiaofan stared wide-eyed at the clay pots in Fu Yufang's hands, she never thought that these two ugly pots, born in a time so far away from modern times, would have a history so far away.

"Then teacher, what are the words written on the clay pot?" Yang Xiaofan asked curiously, holding his chin.

Fu Yufang frowned, scanned the words on the inner wall with a magnifying glass, and said, "It should be the words used in sacrifices, usually used to praise the gods and pray for blessings. You know, people in that era most respected sacrifices, This clay pot should be a ritual vessel used during sacrifices."

"Sacrifice? But wasn't the Shang Dynasty the Bronze Age? How could pottery be used as ritual vessels?" Yang Xiaofan thought of the textbooks he learned when he was a child. When he mentioned Xia, Shang and Zhou, he would always focus on bronze wares and rarely mention pottery. The usefulness of cans in that era.

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Xiaofan vaguely remembered, when he was a child, when he was watching an archaeological column.

Some pottery, people of that era, would be used as coffins to embalm corpses.

However, she has not been able to find any special connection between this clay pot and this custom for the time being.

Fu Yufang did not explain why the clay pots could be used as sacrificial vessels in the Shang Dynasty, but instead persuaded Yang Xiaofan meaningfully: "Xiaofan, do you know? Pots, what a set of cultural relics. I still suggest that you find a way to get the three pots together and dedicate them to the country. After all, a complete set of cultural relics from the Yin and Shang Dynasties is very precious to the current archaeological world, and it is possible It's a historic discovery."

When Yang Xiaofan heard that Fu Yufang asked her to dedicate Li Shaohuang's pottery pot to the country, his head was blown.
