Chapter 43: Cizhou Kiln Black Glazed Double-Series Jar
Shen Wenxin and Chen Li rested for a while at his uncle's house. The cousins and their cousins warmly invited them to visit the breeding farm they created together a few kilometers away.
Chen Li may have been tortured by his third aunt and fourth aunt. With this reason, he still didn't get out immediately? He led Xiao Huang and Shen Wenxin to visit. Not to mention that Xiao Huang is very charming, many male dogs chased him, as if he was a big wolf dog raised by his uncle's house.
"Be honest with Dahuang." Cousin Chen Renjun pointed to the wolf dog that followed Xiaohuang and scolded him angrily. The wolf dog named Dahuang looked aggrieved.
Chen Li touched Xiao Huang's head and said, "Xiao Huang, this dog is almost the same name as yours. Why not communicate with you?"
"My sister Chen, you are openly matching Xiao Huang. If they get involved, it will be difficult for you to pull Xiao Huang away."
"It's okay, I respect Xiao Huang's decision." Chen Li untied the dog chain. Under its comfort, Xiao Huang lost his previous nervousness and went to have a love relationship with the big wolf dog.
"Wenxin, don't be surprised. Our family's big yellow is good, but it's a bit lustful. You can't walk when you see a beautiful dog." Chen Renjun smiled honestly with a embarrassed look.
"It's okay, dogs are like humans, they have feelings for each other. By the way, how long will it take for brother to go to the breeding farm?" Shen Wenxin observed that there were hills nearby, and it seemed that there were no buildings around.
"I've arrived after crossing this mountain." Chen In-min is a few years younger than Shen Wenxin, but he looks quite mature, with a beard on his face. After all, he is a father-in-law.
After walking for about ten minutes, Shen Wenxin saw a farm with a good area, with several bungalows built with red bricks, which were quite large.
The smoke from cooking was rising, and there was a strong aroma of wine near the farm. Shen Wenxin was attracted suddenly and said, "Brother, brother, is this my sister-in-law and sister-in-law making wine?"
"Yes, we usually feed pigs with wine lees, so the quality of this pork will be improved. Moreover, rice wine can be sold around the village, which is also a good income." Chen Renjun introduced while walking that the early investment of this farm was jointly invested by the uncle and brother. At present, the income is divided into three parts, one part of the uncle and one part of the brother.
I raised about a hundred pigs in total. After the finished pigs are released from the cage for a year, the annual income is about 500,000 yuan. If the cost is excluded, the annual net income is about 200,000 yuan or 300,000 yuan.
In other words, each person and each household can get 100,000 yuan! In rural areas, it's pretty good.
In fact, half of the investment in this farm came from Shen Zhongxing, but this was considered to be his filial piety to his mother and elder brother, so he did not get any shares.
After entering the pigpen, Chen Li was extremely excited. Chen Li, who grew up in the deep mountains, did not hate the stench here, and loved the new piglets.
"Brother Chen, can I go in and touch the pig? It's so cute."
"It's too stinky inside, can you stand it?"
"No problem, I used to feed pigs in the village. I used to help my mother with sows. I haven't been in close contact with pigs for a long time." After joining the work, Chen Li rarely went back to the village. Although the distance was not too far, the time was not arranged. In fact, I didn't discuss this long-distance trip with my parents. They thought Chen Li was too busy working in the county town.
"Brother, my friend is going in, okay?"
"It's okay, this sow is very gentle. Renmin, go and get some milk and let girl Chen Li feed the pig."
"Okay, I'll go and go." Chen Renmin said that he went to brew milk. The sow's milk was not enough for such a small litter of pigs. He must think that adding milk is added.
And although these piglets were just born, they were extremely agile and had no milk as a temptation, it was still difficult for Chen Li to have close contact with the piglet.
Chen Li carefully used the oversized bottle to shake the milk inside, and said maternal lovely: "Little babies, drink 'pinch', come here."
The piglet was afraid of being alive. When she saw a strange human shaking her favorite milk, a piglet tried to approach her and actually drank it. The first pig to drink milk caused more than ten piglets to swarm. Chen Li was surrounded and her body became much dirty, but she still smiled in front of her, looking indifferent.
"Wenxin, your girlfriend is good, not as coquettish as the girls in the city." Chen Renjun said with envy. In his opinion, Chen Li, as a city man, should be very particular. Being able to be with the piglet covered in mud in the pigpen at such a close distance, proves that Chen Li will definitely be a good family expert in the future.
"Haha, Chen Mei is not my girlfriend. She often feeds pigs in her hometown when she was a child, so she doesn't care about this."
"Oh, I'm so intimate. What else do you want to cover up between brothers?" As Chen Renmin spoke, his wife came over. She was a woman in her twenties and a slightly fat figure. She was a little older than her actual age. She had just given birth to a year and had not recovered. She was busy with her body. As a major laborer in the farm, she was mainly responsible for brewing rice wine.
"Brother, second brother, I just made a pot of fresh rice wine. Have you scooped it out? How many cups are you brothers? "The three of you are of the same generation, and there is no so-called generation gap. When the elders are there, they are bound to go. This time they come to the breeding farm and don't do a big deal? Although they have already drunk a lot on the flat ground of the foreign building, they are still very excited.
"Wenxin, are you okay?"
"What do you say? Can men say no? Let's go, brother, let's have a few more rounds." Shen Wenxin was also thinking, and the brewing of his brother and sister-in-law himself can reject other people's kindness?
Chen Renmin felt that this cousin was really generous. People in southern Hunan were not desperate to drink. They paid attention to doing what they could, but they also admired a large number of people.
Shen Wenxin said outside the pig pen: "My sister Chen, it's enough to feed you almost. Look at you, you're already a big cat, go and wash your face with your brother and sister-in-law."
"Okay!" Chen Li has not breastfeeded piglets so close for several years. For a while, it seems that he has returned to his childhood. The Dong people have been working since childhood. The young people feed pigs, pick up pig grass, wash clothes, and wash dishes... Basically, every family of children has done this. If Chen Li had not been admitted to the high school in the county town, he might have given birth to children in the Dong village.
At the age of twenty-three, how old should the child be? Shen Wenxin should be glad that Chen Li walked out of the depths of the mountains, otherwise how could he meet her and travel around the north and south?
Things are impermanent, and the process of meeting Shen Wenxin and Chen Li cannot be considered to be tortuous, but if the life trajectories of their two people are deviating, then everything will not be the same.
This is the so-called "butterfly effect".
My sister-in-law and Chen Li went to the accommodation area to clean up the dirt on their bodies. Shen Wenxin and his cousin Shen came to the boiler for making wine. The distilled wine flowed into a black jar along the tube, which could hold a bar about dozens of kilograms.
"Is this wine jar very special?" Shen Wenxin saw this half-hung black-glazed wine jar not far away, with two buckle ears next to it, which does not look modern in shape.
"Oh, I took this wine jar at home. It seems that I have used it for many years. When you were a child, you were not in your hometown. At that time, there were quite a few bottles and jars in our house, and I don't know where they went."
Shen Wenxin touched the black jar with his hand curiously. A ninth-grade treasure chest appeared, and the relief of the quail was clearly visible, indicating that it was an old person.
As for this type of semi-hanging black glaze double-series jar, Shen Wenxin saw a treasure master from the north taking a similar one on the stage, and the market estimate was only about 3,000 yuan.
Of course, the so-called experts' evaluation of the market is actually not accurate. It seems that the wine jar used by Chen Renmin's family is a Cizhou black glaze double-type jar in the Song Dynasty. The quality is well maintained. If used frequently, it blends with the wine and the surface is brighter.
Porcelain such as black glaze is unique in history in China. Black porcelain generally looks much less classical aesthetic characteristics than blue and white porcelain, and belongs to the heavy category.
To appreciate the beauty of black glaze, you need to have a certain experience. The most famous black magnet in that period was of course the rabbit hair cup and oil drop cup.
Black porcelain in the Song Dynasty was quite popular, and the best utensils in Jianzhan were naturally unbearable, so the Cizhou Kiln came into being.
This wine jar was a utensil that every household had at that time. It was a practical tool and it was not easy to be passed to the Shen family. If it weren't for Shen Wenxin, no one might know the origin of this Cizhou Kiln.
The ninth-grade treasure chest means that this wine can is worth at least tens of thousands. The market generally has low valuations for this type of wine can. The main reason is that there are too many that exist in the world. There are also some with different quality, which are sold at 700 or 800 yuan.
The reason why Chen Renmin's black glaze double-series pot for Cizhou kiln is worth tens of thousands is that Shen Wenxin is probably the superficial sauce color, not a simple semi-hanging black glaze, which reflects the interests of the people of the Song Dynasty at that time, the pursuit of beauty, and an ordinary wine can must be accompanied by a certain color comparison.
After reaching this conclusion, Shen Wenxin considered that the wine jar was not valuable and was his own family, so he should tell Chen Renjun and Chen Renmin truthfully and let his uncle's family keep it well, otherwise he might not even be able to see the last heirloom.
The black-glazed porcelain in Cizhou Kilnkou has a good appreciation potential, and it is worth keeping an item at home that has been around for hundreds of years, so you can be ashamed to tell me about it!
For my uncle's family, tens of thousands are not an astronomical number. Keep it and pass it on is the right way.
Shen Wenxin also made this purpose, so he said straightforwardly: "Brother, brother, let me tell you the truth. I am planning to open an antique shop in Guixi. I have worked in the cultural management office of a public institution before, mainly for archaeological identification. Therefore, I can conclude that this wine can is an old thing, and it is a Cizhou black glaze sauce double-type can in the Song Dynasty!"
The full name is like that. Two young people with cultural levels around high school were confused. But in the Song Dynasty, that was amazing! The Chinese didn’t know about the Song Dynasty. It was an extremely economically developed dynasty, but the military power was weak and was beaten by the Jin army. They had to lose half of the country and hide in the ground and fend for themselves.
Chen Renjun looked surprised and said in an uncertain tone: "Is it really from the Song Dynasty? Renmin, we are developed!"
"Haha, thanks to Brother Wenxin who has returned home, otherwise we wouldn't know that there is a Song Dynasty cultural relics in our home. By the way, Brother Wenxin, how much is this wine jar worth?"
