Chapter 801: White Agate Under the Moon

However, holding this lacquerware in her hand, Huo Sining was a little hesitant, she had learned about lacquerware, but how to deal with it was a tricky problem, because the things in it were wrapped in paint, and if she didn't handle it properly, it was likely to destroy the things inside.

"Why are you buying this thing?"

Huo Sining was still pondering, but Gu Xu suddenly asked.

His meaning was obvious, this lacquerware had no apparent origin, and on the surface, it was of no value at all.

"Huh?" Huo Sining came back to his senses, his face was stunned, and he said casually: "This cylinder is a little different from the traditional lacquerware, the level of lacquer is very high, but the carving process is average, so I suspect that this thing is to hide people's eyes, maybe there is something hidden in this cylinder." ”

Huo Sining said this, it was pure speculation, but when she said this, it aroused Gu Xu's interest, and he looked up and down at this strange lacquerware, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Huo Sining saw Gu Xu like this, and knew that he was also interested in this thing, so he smiled and said: "The craftsmanship of this lacquer carving is the technique of the Jiangnan area, there are many skilled craftsmen here, and the lacquerware is not easy to handle. But I just took this thing, I feel that the specific gravity of this lacquerware seems to have some problems, it doesn't feel like porcelain, it's much lighter than metal, but it's a bit like a wooden tire, just break it here and take a look, I bought this thing just to play, this lacquer itself, it's not a valuable thing. ”

If Yan Feng is here, Huo Sining will not feel tricky, Yan Feng is a master of wood carving, and he will not be unfamiliar with the use of lacquer, so there must be no difficulty in letting him break this red lacquerware.

But the distant water can't save the near fire, Huo Sining can only do it himself now, with plenty of food and clothing.

A small toolbox was pulled out of the suitcase, which contained some small cutting and sanding tools, and Huo Sining prepared to do the preliminary processing of the lacquerware.

Seeing that Huo Sining was still carrying a small toolbox when he came out on a trip, Gu Xu was a little surprised, and his eyes were even more puzzled when he looked at Huo Sining.

If he remembers correctly, before coming to Zhouzhuang, when his daughter-in-law was packing her luggage, she seemed to have stuffed a few changes of clothes into the box, when did she bring this toolbox?

Huo Sining didn't have a flustered expression at all, this toolbox was taken out of the storage ring by Gu Xu just now.

I picked out a spatula with a thick back and a thin blade from the toolbox, and started from the upper circle of the lacquerware, and began to scrape it little by little.

Lacquerware is relatively tough, no better than dry wood, and if you want to open it with a knife, it is obviously impossible to be happy, except to scrape off the outer layer of paint, Huo Sining can't find a better way to do it.

But scraping, you have to master the speed and strength, not too thick, too thick is easy to hurt the tire, not too thin, too thin to keep up with the speed, Gu Xu is still waiting to see the result.

As for where to start, it is also very particular, the wall of the cup is too slippery, and the side is unstable, and the bottom ring is too large, it is not easy to observe the exposed part, so the upper circle is the best position.

Huo Sining also learned this method from Zhou Shitao, but she only saw Zhou Shitao do it once, and she also learned a little bit of skin, but she didn't really practice it.

Determine the purpose, find the position, tools, and choose the method of breaking, Huo Sining was ready to do it, but when he started, Huo Sining discovered that this seemingly clumsy method actually concealed skills and rhythm!

Holding this blade, when she first scratched, Huo Sining really felt that she had nowhere to focus, but fortunately, her understanding was good, and she slowly found a little way.

When scraping, it can't be too fast, but the frequency must be consistent, just scrape along the upper ring at once, and slowly these small pieces of paint will be cut off.

However, the fragments she cut out were long and short, and when Zhou Shitao showed her that day, almost all of the fragments that were cut off were exactly the same length and thickness.

This is the difference between hand and hand, but Huo Sining can't care about this at this time. After scraping off the paint on the upper circle and seeing the contents inside, Huo Sining showed a relaxed smile on his face: "It's not a wooden tire inside, it's wrapped in linen, it should be something else." ”

As she spoke, she put down the spatula and replaced it with a long blade as thin as a cicada's wings, and slowly cut along the rim.

Knowing that it was not a wooden tire or a porcelain metal, Huo Sining's movements did not need to be so careful, so this time the speed of her subordinates was obviously much faster.

In a short time, all the patent leather was peeled off, revealing an object wrapped in linen.

Huo Sining's eyes flashed with surprise, and he secretly said in his heart: Sure enough, there is something hidden!

Untie the sackcloth bag, there is a layer of oilskin paper inside, Huo Sining carefully uncovered the oilskin paper, at this time, a bright color, clear texture like a crystal white agate wine glass appeared in front of Huo Sining's eyes, in the center of this wine glass, there is a cluster of ink spots like purple grapes.

Seeing this wine glass, Huo Sining's eyes suddenly lit up, and all kinds of emotions surged in his heart, both shocked and ecstatic.

The characteristics of this agate wine glass are so distinct that Huo Sining guessed its origin almost the moment he saw the glass.

It is recorded in the history books that Shen Wan Sanxing wine uses a white agate plate, and its markings are a branch of purple grapes, and the five apes pick it, which is called the five apes fighting for the fruit, which is the treasure. This agate cup resembles a crystal, but with a grape in the center like an ink spot, called the moon grape.

This wine glass, at that time, it is said that it can be exchanged for salt money in Jiaxing County, which shows the preciousness and rarity of the cup.

Huo Sining sighed in his heart, he didn't expect it to be true, this agate cup is no different from the one recorded in the history books, it can be seen that this should be the moonlight grape agate cup used by Shen Wansan, which means that the old lady just said casually, this box, nine times out of ten, was really stolen from the Shen family's mansion by her wife's ancestors.

The Shen family committed a big crime at that time, which caused the anger of the Zhu family's royal family, and they wanted to cut down the Shen family, and Zhu Yuanzhang was angry about Shen Wansan's cornucopia, and he couldn't wait to dig three feet into the ground to find out the treasure, so the Shen family's things must have been closely watched by the official, and the old lady's ancestors must have taken a big risk when they stole this box from the Shen family.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the person will go to great lengths to cover up the cup for what it is.

Just as Huo Sining was carefully looking at the agate cup, Gu Xu next to him picked up the kraft paper that she had taken off before and rolled it on the agate cup, and he didn't know if it was out of curiosity or for what reason, he unfolded the kraft paper.

Unexpectedly, he was stunned.
