Chapter 36 Jade Ornaments [Please vote for me]

Um?

Didn't Zhou Ruotong arrange for Ge Huihui to come over next Friday?

These two people are not going to explore today... Li Yu intends to give a few words of advice. Going into the mountains without adequate preparation can easily lead to accidents.

As soon as the car stopped, Ge Huihui opened the door and got out:

"Hurry up and cook quickly. We set off from the capital early in the morning. Before we had time to have lunch, Ruotong was already hungry."

After saying that, he ran to the big golden retriever and put his arms around the guy's neck:

"Brother Dao, I called you hello, why didn't you respond?"

Zhou Ruotong in the car twitched the corner of his mouth. He was hungry because he was hungry. Why are you pulling on me?

She pressed the door button of the trunk, picked up the bag placed on the armrest box, and got out of this high-end customized car covered with carbon fiber panels.

Even though it was noon, the wind in the mountains was still cool.

Zhou Ruotong said while buttoning his denim jacket:

"There are a lot of things. Let's start cooking after moving them... I saw that the front desk was empty, so I brought you a decoration."

Yesterday, her second uncle delivered the ornaments to her home. She didn't even unpack them and put them directly on the back seat of the car.

Upon hearing the ornaments, Ge Huihui became interested:

"The jade ornaments Professor Zhou gave you must be extraordinary. Take it out and let me Luke. Luke... Brother Dao, you don't know what Luke means, right? It means in English."

Li Yu: "..."

Why are you teaching a dog English? Why do you expect this guy to read English books?

He walked to the back of the car and saw that the trunk was stuffed full of Dengdeng, including hiking bags, tent bags, first aid kits, and other equipment full of English.

There was even a cluster of arrows in the corner of the carriage.

Ge Huihui said as if offering a treasure:

"Isn't it said that the mountains are very dangerous, so we brought a beautiful hunting bow and a heavy-pound compound bow. If we encounter a bad guy, whoosh... we will definitely kill him with one shot!"

She made the motion of drawing a bow and imitated the sound of an arrow being fired.

Then he patted Brother Dao on the head:

"Not only can it deal with bad people, but it can also deal with bad dogs."

"Woof!"

The big golden retriever barked dissatisfiedly, wagging his tail and ran away, away from this crazy girl.

After unloading the equipment from the car one by one, Li Yu helped move it to the B\u0026B.

Zhou Ruotong walked into the door and saw many workers:

"Are you planning to upgrade?"

"Yes, the yard is a bit empty. Let's build a corridor and put up a pavilion, which is suitable for tourists to take photos."

He moved the equipment he brought to the storage room next to the living room. The two bows were hung on the shelves in the storage room by Zhou Ruotong:

"You can practice and play with these two bows, but you can't let the string go empty, not even once, otherwise the bow will be scrapped."

She was worried that Li Yu would play with it, so she warned her in advance.

"Don't worry, I won't touch your things."

Li Yu had seen a collection of shooters' mistakes at station B. Some cut their fingers, some cut their arms, and some were hit in the face by the bowstring.

Well, it’s more interesting to watch other people play, so let’s just be an audience.

After laying out all the equipment, Zhou Ruotong dragged a rectangular wooden box from the back seat of the Land Rover Defender.

Li Yu quickly came over to help, and the two of them carried it to the living room.

Opening the box, it was covered with shock-proof foam boards and sponges.

After taking these away, there was an emerald-green landscape ornament lying quietly in the box, about one meter long and more than fifty centimeters wide.

The ornaments are very beautiful, like a 3D version of a landscape painting.

What's even more amazing is that the entire ornament is specially made into different elements according to the depth of the jade color, including mountains, trees, rivers, cliffs, etc.

On the river, there is a brown bump. It was originally a flaw, but it was creatively carved into a flat boat.

The lifelike appearance has the artistic conception of "I am like a human being without a boat, and I am wandering leisurely when the wind is good and the moon is good". People can't help but admire the ingenuity of the carving master.

After moving the ornaments out, Ge Huihui saw the appraisal certificate pressed at the bottom of the box, opened it and took a look:

"I can't believe this ornament came from the Qing Dynasty. Freehand brushwork was popular in that era. This realistic style is very rare... Why isn't Professor Zhou my second uncle?"

Zhou Ruotong also didn't expect that his second uncle would actually get Qing Dynasty ornaments through a bet. It is estimated that no one in the museum will dare to bet in the future.

She inspected the ornaments and said:

"In the category of antiques, jade ornaments are only in the fifth grade and are the least valuable. However, this one is well carved, and it is an old jadeite with an ebony base, so it should be worth a lot of money."

Yeah?

Can I exchange it for money?

Li Yu murmured in his heart, feeling like he was guarding a treasure mountain but was hungry.

It's really annoying to have a bunch of valuables but can't cash them in.

But it should be said that once this ornament was placed at the front desk, the originally ordinary living room suddenly became a little more noble. This may be the reason why rich people like ornaments.

He thought that Zhou Ruotong and Ge Huihui hadn't eaten yet, so he asked:

"What do you two want to eat? I'll do it right away."

Ge Huihui was taking photos around the decorations. Hearing this, he immediately put down his phone:

"Anything is fine. I'm so hungry that I can't even lift my phone. Ruotong won't let me eat on the road. She says your cooking is good and she won't eat it if it's not yours..."

Zhou Ruotong:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Who brought a big bag of snacks and kept eating them like a hamster since they got in the car?

Li Yu walked into the kitchen. At this point, it was too late to make fresh steamed rice, and the steamed buns were also frozen and had to be reheated. He thought about it and prepared to make some fried noodles for the two of them.

Boil a pot of water and put a pack of dry noodles in from the storage room.

Cook until medium cooked, take it out, put in cold water and cool.

Taking advantage of this time, he cut some shredded meat and prepared shredded green peppers, onions, carrots and a handful of green vegetables.

Remove the noodles to control the water, and then mix them with cooking oil and dark soy sauce. This will make the noodles better in color and less likely to stick to each other.

When everything was ready, he heated a pot with oil and stir-fried over high heat to make two large plates of fried noodles.

"Come and eat!"

Hearing Li Yu's shout, Ge Huihui was a little surprised:

"The meal is ready in just a few minutes. You're not going to cook instant noodles for us, are you?"

Zhou Ruotong glanced at her:

"Repent?"

"No, anyway, I make my own instant noodles at home. Now that someone has made them, I can't wait to eat them."

After saying that, the girl ran towards the restaurant like a crazy woman.

“Wow, chow mein!”

Seeing the oily fried noodles on the table, Ge Huihui was very excited. He picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. Then he turned to Zhou Ruotong who walked in and said:

"It's delicious, super delicious! Ruotong, if you can't finish it, keep it for me. Don't waste it."

Zhou Ruotong pulled out the chair and sat down:

"Didn't you just make a weight loss plan last night?"

"Mazu said I'm not fat and don't need to lose weight. La la la, I'm going to get started!"

Ge Huihui's ancestral home is Hu Jian, and she is accustomed to asking Mazu for instructions no matter what she does at home.

Now since Mazu says there is no need to lose weight, you can eat freely.

Li Yu brought two bowls of freshly cooked egg soup, a plate of torn roast chicken and a portion of delicious kimchi:

"We don't have enough time, so you two can eat together first, and we'll make delicious food in the afternoon."

If I had called in advance, I would have cooked more braised eggplant and braised chicken nuggets for lunch.

Ge Huihui took another bite of fried noodles, with a look of grievance on his face:

"I have to take the high-speed rail back later, and I won't be able to eat!"

Li Yu: "..."

You really sent Ruotong a thousand miles away!

He brought a few more side dishes and then went to work outside.

After the two of them had finished eating and tidying up the kitchen, Li Yu made a pot of tea.

When pouring tea, he thought that the jade pendant in the cabinet was a thousand years older than the silver ingots from the Song Dynasty, but it was about the same condition, so he asked insinuatingly:

"Those two silver ingots are a bit new, how did you identify them?"

Zhou Ruotong glanced at him:

"Newness and oldness are not the basis for judging cultural relics. Even patina, scratches, traces of use, etc., only serve as a reference in the evaluation of cultural relics. What plays a key role are the craftsmanship, materials, and the knowledge level of the craftsmen. The characteristics of the times are the key to identifying cultural relics."

Li Yu looked like he was asking for advice humbly:

"Then if you ask an expert to imitate the production, wouldn't it be possible to fake it?"

Seeing how unprofessional he was, Ge Huihui laughed like a pig:

"It cannot be made. The materials of each era have their own characteristics. Take silver ingots as an example, those from the Han Dynasty, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Song Dynasty, the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The impurities contained in them are different, and the proportions of mineral elements are also different. They are not the same, so even if you imitate a silver ingot of the same purity, as long as you use X-rays to see it, it will be revealed immediately whether it is Li Kui or Li Gui."

No wonder fake cultural relics can only deceive laymen.

Li Yu thought that there wasn't much patina on the jade pendant, and even the rope was still new, so he couldn't help but ask:

"There is a very interesting question on Zhihu. If you could travel back in time to ancient times, would the things you bring back be considered cultural relics or imitations?"

Many outsiders have asked Zhou Ruotong this kind of question. She smiled and said:

"Even porcelain that has just come out of the kiln, as long as it can be retrieved, is a cultural relic... The greatest value of cultural relics is to record the time points of a certain era, rather than how many years it has been passed down. Our archeology major studies these."

After speaking, she opened her phone and pulled out a photo.

Li Yu took a look and saw that it was a brand-new bronze plate that looked like it had just been made.

"A few years ago, a jar was discovered in the Yinxu residential area. The newly made bronze plate was put into the jar. An earthquake occurred. The jar was upside down in the water and stuck in the mud. It was not dug out until a few years ago... Go now These plates can still be seen in the National Museum, among a group of bronzes covered with patina, so new that they stand out.”

Ge Huihui was very interested in this kind of topic. Just as he was about to join in, he suddenly saw Brother Dao winking at him at the door. He suddenly remembered that the two of them were going to fall in love, so he had better not be a light bulb.

She took a bouncing ball, threw it out, and started playing games with Brother Dao.

After the living room became quiet, Zhou Ruotong's beautiful eyes turned:

"It's been laying the groundwork for so long. Tell me, did your friend ask you for something to pay off his debt again?"

Li Yu: "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Miss Zhou, you are so smart, aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to get married in the future?
