Su Ye didn't go to the library, but to Master Guan's house.
Today was the day the old man gave him lessons.
Two days a week, one on Tuesday and one on Friday.
Three days in between, so that Su Ye could digest what he had said.
Every time Su Ye passed the exam, the old man would continue to teach him new things.
Same old rules, two bottles of good wine.
He could not take anything else, but he could not miss out on good wine.
Su Ye didn't enter the house first.
Instead, he opened a bottle of wine and blew on it.
Suddenly, Su Ye heard a voice coming from inside the house.
"Mmm, the smell of Erguotou. Grandson, quickly pour it for me!”
He heard the sound in the room.
A smile appeared on Su Ye's face.
Sometimes, he really admired this old man's nose.
That was, he could really remember it.
No matter what method you use, as long as he smells something, he can immediately hand over the name.
Red Star Erguotou.
This was the food and wine that the people of Beijing liked the most.
In fact, the previous Erguotou was not called this name.
The brewing of this kind of wine was also mentioned.
After many times of cooling, it was usually necessary to pour in cold water three times to take the wine.
The first time the wine was obtained, it was called the "head of the wine", the second time was called the "second pot", and the third time was called the "tail of the wine".
Later, in 1949, there were a total of 44 white wine cooking workshops in Sijiu City, including 28 in the city and 16 in the suburbs. The annual production and sales volume was about 6 million catties.
And a catty of wine is three catties of grain.
The amount of food needed was 18 million jin.
Therefore, in order to reduce the consumption of food, they began to use sweet potatoes to brew.
For this reason, a winery was specially established.
It was the prototype of the Red Star Factory. For this reason, the white wine produced was also named Red Star Erguotou.
After entering the house, Su Ye said in admiration,"Master, your nose is really divine."?”
"Little brat, why else do you think I'm your master?”
"Cut the crap and pour it!"
"Alright, just you wait!"
He obediently served the old man with wine.
Su Ye rubbed the peanuts as well, occasionally taking a sip.
The two of them drank for a while.
Only then did he officially start teaching.
"I told you a few days ago about the three values of antiques, and now you're nagging me!”
"Alright, listen up."
Su Ye agreed.
Then, he began to explain.
"The first value is artistic value. To put it bluntly, it's like carrots and cabbages. It was precisely because there were people who loved antiques that antiques could be passed down and preserved. Just like Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, even if he died, he would still bring the preface to the Lanting Collection into his coffin.”
" It's precisely because of its artistic value that it can achieve self-satisfaction..."
After saying the first point, the old man nodded in agreement.
Hence, Su Ye continued," The second value is historical value. The ancients generally said that history was a mirror. With copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes and hats; With history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall of the country; With people as a mirror, you can understand the gains and losses. By studying antiques, one could know their history, their origins, and their experiences.”
" Therefore, this is very important for studying the history of the past…"
"Yes, continue!"
"The third value is economic value. Every treasure was unique. The rarer an item was, the more valuable it was. Because of its rarity, the value of these treasures would also change over time, depending on how long it had been around, how many there were, and other factors. However, there was no doubt about its economic value.”
After Su Ye finished explaining the three values with confidence.
The old man revealed a satisfied smile.
Ding!" Detected that the host's understanding of antiques is getting deeper and deeper. Reward: 100 Knowledge Skill Experience Points, upgraded to Intermediate Knowledge.”
Su Ye smiled when he heard the news from the system.
It seemed that taking the old man as his master was a very correct decision.
If he had relied on himself, how could he have raised the skill of the appraiser class to such a level so quickly?
Although the system was powerful, it was not omnipotent.
If he only relied on reading books to earn Skill Points, he might not be able to gather enough Skill Points to convert them into Skill EXP.
One had to know that these 100 experience points were equivalent to 50,000 skill points!!
He was delighted and looked at the changes in his Knowledge skill on the system.
Intermediate Knowledge. Through your own hard work, you have become an appraiser who has a good understanding of history (10/1000)
The old man saw that Su Ye had really memorized everything he had taught him.
He was very satisfied.
In his later years, being able to find a satisfactory successor was the most accomplished thing for him.
If he could rely on his own ability to educate this successor into a true collector, it would undoubtedly be even more successful.
"You already have a very thorough understanding of the Ming and Qing Porcelain. Therefore, today, I will tell you about another major category of antiques, calligraphy and painting.”
"In our antique trade, we have a special name for calligraphy, painting, porcelain, and bamboo tooth horn. Film, hard film, and miscellaneous corresponded to these three categories.”
"In the world of collectors, the knowledge required to appraise paintings is the most complex. Therefore, there was a general trend that those who looked at films looked down on hard films, and hard films looked down on miscellaneous items.”
"How should a collector identify an ancient painting? This was a very difficult problem. China's calligraphy and painting had a long history and a rich collection of arts, but there were a large number of fakes and forgers in every period. Removing the fake and retaining the true was the first hurdle that a collector had to pass.”
"In terms of forgery techniques, it can be said that there are all kinds of strange and endless methods. Some are copied from the real thing, some are mass-copied through old-fashioned methods, some are modified from the real painting and printed from an earlier era, and some are faked.”
"Therefore, if you want to truly identify it, you need an appraiser with sufficient knowledge.”
" Therefore, for the next period of time, you should read more books, watch more, and go to the market more often…"
That night, Su Ye listened carefully to the old man's life experience and knowledge.
He worked hard to turn all these things into his own knowledge and carve them into his mind bit by bit.
As the old man explained and imparted his experience, Su Ye's Knowledge and Skill Experience Points, which had just been upgraded to Intermediate Level, slowly increased again. Although it was very slow, it was faster than Su Ye reading books on his own.
Happy times always passed quickly.
At ten o'clock at night, the old man stopped talking.
He said to Su Ye," Alright, that's all for today. When you go back, you must digest it well. Look at what you've memorized and think about it." If a person doesn't think, then they're dead and useless. Do you understand?”
"Got it, Master!"
"Alright, let's hurry back. I still have to work tomorrow, so I'll come back on Friday!”
"Yes, Master!"
After saying that, Su Ye put away his notebook and left, returning to the Siheyuan!
On the way, he was thinking about what the old man had told him that night. This knowledge of antiques seemed to have opened up a new world for Su Ye. It was so mysterious and magnificent that it made him even more proud of the culture of the nation.
China's five thousand years of culture had never been cut off.
Even if some small clans from the border occasionally enter the Central Plains, they will soon be assimilated and even take the initiative to integrate into our race.
The world's top ten civilizations, the other nine civilizations, ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, ancient Greece!!
"However, you've never heard of ancient Huaxia. This is because other civilizations have already lost contact with each other, but our Huaxia has never lost its cultural heritage. This is our treasure, our cultural pride!!
"It is my honor and pride to be born in China!!!”
Su Ye sighed and quickened his pace!!
