With Xiang's relationship, and Chonghua already getting the answers he wanted to know, he also learned from Shi Jing's mouth what kind of drama it is.
It is a kind of inheritance, a great art that can be ranked with music and dance. Yuzai and Prince Changqin compiled slips and included opera among the "Eight Styles". Chonghua learned about the so-called Eight Styles. Wind refers to poetry, songs, music and dance, drama...
In addition to the Eight Winds, the pottery craftsmanship of the Central Plains is listed as "Tiangong" and described separately. It is listed in the same volume as the Eight Winds. Shijing also specifically mentioned that Xiang and Xiong Tao both said that Xiang's eldest brother was extremely powerful. A person who is good at making pottery.
And Xiang is now Shanhaijian, the first person to try to perform "drama".
Although this proposal was put forward by Yu Zai, the name "pictographic play" and the original name of shadow puppet play together became a symbol of the elephant. When he heard this situation, Chonghua felt very excited. It's unbelievable, but also very gratifying.
"My brother is incredible."
After a trip to the south, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, I didn't expect that when I looked back, my name had already begun to be praised in the world.
He was still so stubborn and unbearable when he left. Will this traveler be favored by heaven and earth in the end?
"I didn't expect that I would also leave a name in the south. Relying on the praise of Xiong Tao and my younger brother, I am really ashamed. Looking at humanities and transforming the world, what virtues and talents do I have to be included in the slips like this? It’s in!”
"Yuzai... I learned his name at the end of the year before last. I imitated the plows of the Central Plains. It was his plows that I imitated. I learned a lot from him. Unexpectedly, he also taught me My brother...."
"If possible, I really want to meet him."
As Chonghua said his words of thanks, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He had been listening to Yuzai's story for a long time. As time went by, the more he looked at the pictures at that time, the more unusually emotional he felt.
When he just made a simple plow, he had already invented something more complicated. He created it all with nothing, but he was far behind.
But only with competition can there be motivation. Chonghua is even more grateful to Yuzai. Although he has never met, this "peer" has been pushing himself to move forward.
At the same time, he also felt a little ashamed to be praised from afar, but Chonghua himself felt that his craftsmanship was not worthy of such a big thing as being included in the slips, and Xiong Tao and Xiang might have praised him a bit too much. .
What, this is our eldest brother, this is the pottery maker that everyone in the Kongsang family worships, this is the number one young businessman in Shouxiu, this is one of the pinnacles of craft pottery, that pottery is so good...
I'm not, I didn't, shut up! I really deserve it....
Listening to Shi Jing's words, Chong Hua's face became a little uneasy.
I'm really not that awesome. If I were, I would have... Anyway, can't you be more humble!
It’s so exciting that I can make some reflective and transparent pottery, brother! You have to be measured in your dreams! How can such a thing exist, brother!
I haven’t had a fever!
"I really don't know how to make transparent pottery, how could I have this kind of pottery?"
Faced with Shi Jing's inquiry, Chong Hua almost couldn't bear it, because at that time Yi Jun boasted that he knew better than A Hong, so Yu Pan said that maybe Xiang's elder brother could also bake such things. Xiang wanted to save face. Just say that my eldest brother can burn anything.
Because this bullshit was too big, and Xiong Tao also estimated that Chonghua might really be able to burn, Yuzai thought that Emperor Shun had changed his profession and became a chemist.
"No, I won't...please don't ask again."
As the saying goes, people talk too much when they are idle. Why didn't you go to the south to learn technology? You are so idle every day!
The elephant is blowing on the ground, and the big brother is flying in the sky... As he flies, sooner or later he will break his leg.
But Chonghua also knows that this is a kind of transformation of Xiang, but it is a bit extreme. From the beginning, he seemed to be the king of children, but in fact he had a low self-esteem, and began to transform into self-confidence. This is a good phenomenon. With self-confidence, With goals and cultivated sentiments, life conditions and people's personalities will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Chonghua was sincerely happy about this, but it would have been better if he didn't blow himself up to the sky...
But Shi Jing was a little disappointed with the transparent pottery: "It turns out that you haven't made pottery for a long time, but it was said to be transparent pottery. When you made it, the witch called it 'glazed'."
When he said this, Chonghua was stunned.
What the hell, does this thing really exist?
There are not many good things in the south, but everything is new to the Central Plains.
Chonghua took Shijing to visit the market in Taotang, and Shijing also saw the famous "Eggs" from the Kongsang clan and marked them after Chonghua's improvements. Shell pottery".
"Ah, it's Chonghua! Haha, long time no see. I didn't expect you to come to Taotang... Hey, you are still the governor of Zhizong! Please take more care of me!"
The big man selling pottery was a member of the Kongsang family. Chonghua also knew him and greeted him cordially. They had a good friendship when they worked by the river in the past.
On the other side, looking at these pottery, Shi Jing almost spit out sweetness in his mouth, because compared to the pottery from the south, this pottery is indeed incredibly exquisite!
Of course, the price is also prohibitive. Chonghua reminded her timely that this is a kind of handicraft, and its actual value is not high. After it is fired, it is not something that ordinary people will buy back. Most of them are placed here to make a Promote and tell others how superb your pottery craftsmanship is.
Of course, in addition to pottery, there are also more huge, carved and polished rough stone tools.
In the market, animal skin carpets are spread, and a seller is holding a copper knife in his hand, carefully carving bone tools.
At the same time, there are those selling plows, tea and grass, and those selling ores, fruits, chickens and ducks... There is everything in the market. The animals have their heads lowered, gnawing the grass in the hands of the sellers, and there are people bargaining. After the flood disaster ended, people who were supposed to do business gradually returned.
"This is not even the most prosperous time. Due to the flood, traders in various places have left. The opening of the market was also an order not long ago, because the emperor said that people should resume their lives as soon as possible. Open the market so that everyone can barter. Whether it’s things or exchanging shell coins for goods, everyone can always get what they need.”
Shi Jing saw someone selling some fruits, and there was something familiar in the seller's pottery.
"Eh? Are you jealous?"
Shi Jing was a little surprised, and the seller was also confused: "What are you talking about? This is mountain peach and plum juice. Some people like to drink it. Do you want to buy it? The accent is wrong. You are not from Taotang, are you?"
"I can't afford meat and have little food, so I soak the chaff in the juice and mix it with the corn. It makes the taste not bland and goes well with rice."
Shi Jing said: "Ah, I heard wizards talk about this thing. This is the predecessor of vinegar!"
"Our tribe has something better, it's vinegar!"
The seller scratched his head, Chonghua was also a little confused, Shijing smiled and said: "Taotang is really prosperous. Even though it just suffered a disaster, it recovered so quickly. Our place is very barren, but because of the small number of people, and because The farming methods promoted by witches have resulted in bumper harvests in recent years. With food available, witches have produced these things. In our rural cooperatives in the south, a kind of black water that is more acidic than this juice is called vinegar. "
"So, this thing is finally not as good as what we have there!"
————
"Emperor, Chonghua is taking her to the market in Taotang, halfway around today."
In the land of Taotang, Di Fangxun listened to the report of the "eyeliner".
"Has she ever lamented the prosperity of our place?"
The eyeliner responded: "Yes! But there is one more thing. She said that the kind of sour juice you like to drink is not as good as that in the south. There is a better one there, called vinegar! Now that one, the peach stand you often visit in disguise, that one The seller is very angry now and has stopped selling!”
