"Sir, may I know your name?”He Yusheng pretended not to know him.
"Everyone calls me Lord Bull," Lord Bull laughed heartily.
He Yusheng pretended to be surprised." So you're Master Niu. I've heard of you. Everyone says that you're a chivalrous person. I didn't expect to see you here today."”
"Little brother, what is your name?" Lord Bull asked.
"My name is He Yusheng. You can call me Little He.”He Yusheng said.
"Xiao He, you want to go in and drink, right?”Lord Bull laughed.
"I heard that this tavern is not bad, so I specially came over to drink. I didn't expect it to be closed yet.”He Yusheng nodded.
"If you want to drink, come with me." Lord Bull smiled mysteriously. Then, he took a detour along the courtyard wall and came to the side door of the tavern. The side door was open.
Seeing that He Yusheng was a little puzzled, Lord Bull smiled proudly and said,""I'm a regular customer here. As long as you want to drink, this tavern is open at any time.”
After saying that, he lifted the curtain and walked into the tavern.
The small tavern was not big, and the decoration was very ordinary. It showed the atmosphere of this era, but it was very clean and made people feel very comfortable.
There was only one woman in the tavern. When she saw Lord Bull and He Yusheng walk in, she immediately greeted them with a smile,"Master Bull, why are you here so early today?”
This woman was pregnant. She was Xu Huizhen, the main character of the Little Woman at Zhengyang Gate. She was also the former owner of the tavern. Now that the tavern was a joint venture, she could only take dividends and wages.
"You're not welcome?" Lord Bull deliberately said with a straight face.”
"What are you talking about? How can I not welcome you?”Xu Huizhen smiled and then looked at He Yusheng. She said,"Who is this brother?"
"His name is He Yusheng. I met him outside the tavern just now.”Lord Bull introduced.
"Hello, Brother He. My name is Xu Huizhen.”Xu Huizhen greeted.
"Hello, Sister Xu." He Yusheng said.
"Why isn't Nest neck here?" Lord Bull glanced around the tavern.
"He went to Niulan Mountain to drink. What does Master Bull want to order today?”Xu Huizhen said.
"Just like before, two taels of wine and a plate of small belly.”Lord Bull found a table and sat down.
Without waiting for Xu Huizhen to ask, He Yusheng said,""Two taels of wine and a plate of peanuts. Put Master Bull's on me. How much is the total?”
Xu Huizhen glanced at Lord Bull and saw that he didn't have any reaction, so she said,""A total of 60 cents."
"Here's the money." He Yusheng handed the money to Xu Huizhen.
After the wine, peanuts, and tripe were served, He Yusheng poured a glass of wine for Lord Niu.
Lord Bull took a sip of wine and smiled meaningfully.""Xiao He, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"Lord Bull, you have good eyes." He Yusheng smiled and filled Lord Bull's cup with wine. He continued,""Master Bull, I heard that you're very knowledgeable about antiques and calligraphy. I want to learn from you.”
After meeting Master Bull, he had this idea. Antiques in this era were worth as much as cabbages. It was the best time to collect them.
"You like antique calligraphy and paintings too?" asked Master Bull.”
He Yusheng said," I want to collect some old items, but I don't have the eyesight. I want to learn some skills from you. As long as you're willing to give me some pointers, I'll buy all your wine in the future."”
Lord Bull laughed." You're so mean to me. Come home with me later. I have a lot of books with me. Take them and read them first."”
"Thank you, Master Bull," He Yusheng said with a smile.”
After finishing the wine, He Yusheng went to Lord Bull's house.
Master Niu's family was relatively rich. The whole family lived in a small courtyard house.
"What do you want to know?"
Master Bull led He Yusheng to the study. There were three large bookshelves inside, and they were filled with books.
He Yusheng pondered for a moment and said,""Porcelain, calligraphy, and antique furniture.”
Lord Bull walked to one of the bookshelves and picked out three books from it and handed them to He Yusheng. He said,"These three books are all about Ming Dynasty porcelain. After you finish reading them, come and get them from me.”
"Thank you, Master Bull," He Yusheng said with a smile.”
After leaving the tavern, He Yusheng went straight home.
He Yusheng didn't disturb her as she was studying. He took out the three books that Master Bull gave her and started reading.
"The shape of Ming Dynasty porcelain is usually full and thick, with soft and round lines, giving people a simple and solemn feeling. There are mainly dragons, phoenixes, qilins, mountains, rivers, people, flowers, birds, beasts, etc. The picture is bold and unrestrained, the strokes are smooth and skillful, and the composition is simple and ancient…"
"Ding dong! [The host has studied hard. Antique appraisal 1. Reward: 1 yuan.]”
……
" Before the Ming Dynasty, Jingdezhen porcelain did not have an autograph. After the Yongle Era, they began to write the dynasty's year number, Ganzhi, and Tu Ji on the official kiln ware. Most of them were written in blue and white, with dark engravings and relief prints..."
"Ding dong! [The host has studied hard. Antique appraisal 1. Reward: 10 catties of food stamps.]”
……
In the evening, He Yusheng finished reading the first book. He was now a beginner in antique appraisal.
[Antique appraisal: L1 (5/100)]
"The cultural heritage of thousands of years is really deep and intoxicating.”
For the first time, He Yusheng felt the charm of history. At the same time, he understood why some people were obsessed with collecting.
…………
At the entrance of the courtyard, Xu Damao pushed a brand new Yongjiu bicycle in.
"Xu Damao, is this Silly Zhu's car?”Third Uncle was sitting on a chair and drinking tea. When he saw the car in Xu Damao's hand, he asked curiously.
"I bought this myself." Xu Damao said unhappily.
"You bought a new car too?" Third Uncle immediately stood up and stopped drinking his tea.
"Isn't it just a car? If I want to buy it, I'll buy it." Xu Damao was very satisfied with Third Master's reaction.
"All of you have bought new bicycles. How about lending them to me for two days?”Third Uncle stared at the bicycle as if he was looking at his wife.
When Xu Damao heard this, his expression immediately changed. He said,"Third Uncle, if you want to ride it, go buy it yourself.”
With that, he pushed his bicycle away.
"It's just a bicycle. What's the big deal? Look at how smug you are.”Third Uncle was jealous.
Xu Damao pushed his bicycle to the middle court and shouted,""Silly Zhu, Silly Zhu."
"Xu Damao, what are you mumbling about?" He Yuzhu was cooking when she heard Xu Damao's voice. She walked out unhappily.
"Silly Zhu, what do you think of my bicycle?”Xu Damao asked proudly.
He Yuzhu patted his bicycle and said,""My bicycle is the first bicycle in our courtyard house. Yours can only be ranked second.”
"Isn't it just buying for a day? I didn't want to buy it, otherwise, I would have bought it long ago.”Xu Damao said.
"Even if it was a day earlier, it would still be first place." He Yuzhu smiled.
"It's just a bicycle. What are you showing off for? If you have the guts, let's see who gets a wife first.”Xu Damao said unhappily.
"Then I'll definitely go first." He Yuzhu said.
"We'll see." Xu Damao left after saying those harsh words.
