Perhaps it is because of its inconspicuousness that others do not pay attention to it.
Without the attention of troublemakers, it can be preserved.
It won't be sold or taken away by others.
Just stay there quietly.
Using it will not damage the incense burner.
Plus there is a layer of incense ash for protection.
This Xuande furnace is very well preserved.
The basic shape of the Ming Dynasty Xuande furnace is open mouth, square lip or round lip, short and thin neck, flat bulging belly, three blunt cone-shaped solid feet or split-crotch hollow feet, bridge-shaped ears, round ears or animal-shaped ears on the rim, and the inscription year is mostly on the bottom of the furnace, which is similar to the Xuande porcelain style.
In addition to copper, precious materials such as gold and silver are also added, so the furnace quality is particularly fine, dark purple or black brown.
Generally, furnace materials have to undergo four refining processes, while Xuande furnace materials have to undergo twelve refining processes, so the furnace quality will be purer and finer, like baby skin.
The Xuande furnace, which is gilded or inlaid with gold sheets, is shining with golden light, giving people a feeling of being an extraordinary utensil.
The Xuande incense burners that have been preserved are extremely rare.
Each one is a rare treasure.
Zhang Weiguo wiped the Xuande furnace clean with a towel and played with it in his hands for a while.
Zhang Weiguo was lying on the bed, holding the Xuande furnace.
It is more comfortable to sleep while holding it.
While playing with the Xuande furnace, Zhang Weiguo was thinking about where to get another one.
There are many shapes of Xuande furnace, and each one is a fine product.
It is said that a total of 3,000 Xuande furnaces were made at that time, but almost none of them have survived.
When he woke up the next day, Zhang Weiguo looked at the Xuande furnace.
I was afraid it was just a dream and I was happy for nothing.
Zhang Weiguo was relieved when he saw that the Xuande furnace was still there.
Zhang Weiguo put the Xuande furnace into the space.
Get up quickly and cook. Ran Qiuye and the others will be up soon.
For breakfast, Zhang Weiguo cooked a pot of porridge and made a plate of pickles and a plate of salted duck eggs.
By the time Zhang Weiguo finished cooking, Ran Qiuye and the two little girls also got up.
"Hurry up and wash up and eat."
Zhang Weiguo presented each person with a bowl of porridge and a salted duck egg.
After dinner, Ran Qiuye took the two little girls to school.
Zhang Weiguo went to work.
Zhang Weiguo hasn't gone out for many days.
I plan to go to the countryside today.
Zhang Weiguo went to the factory on a motorcycle and put a few bags of cornmeal in the bucket.
I also added half a bag of fine salt.
With these salts, it is easier to exchange things.
Zhang Weiguo did not expect to exchange for something as good as the Xuande furnace.
Zhang Weiguo would be satisfied if he could exchange it for some wild ginseng.
This time Zhang Weiguo rode a motorcycle and planned to go somewhere farther.
Zhang Weiguo has no plan to visit the surrounding villages.
Go find places where basically no one goes, especially those villages near the mountains.
It is said that if you live by the mountain, you can eat from the mountain; if you live by the sea, you can eat from the sea.
They deal with the mountains all year round, so there must be wild ginseng.
As long as you are diligent, you will definitely be able to dig up wild ginseng.
It is difficult to find ginseng that is too old, but it is easy to find ginseng that is more than ten or twenty years old.
There are too few ginsengs that are hundreds of years old.
Anyone who can find a hundred-year-old ginseng can be said to have incredible luck.
Zhang Weiguo rode for a long time before he found a village.
No one really comes to this village, and it’s hard to find.
The road was extremely difficult to travel on and was bumpy all the way.
If the car wasn't so sturdy, Zhang Weiguo would have worried that it would fall apart.
Zhang Weiguo came to the village, which was very poor.
The houses are all made of mud, and they are covered with thatch instead of tiles.
From the outside you can tell that this is a very poor village.
Zhang Weiguo came to a house.
Zhang Weiguo knocked on the door and an old lady came out.
"What can I do for you, young man?"
The old man was very surprised to see Zhang Weiguo, because no one would come to this village.
She knew everyone in the village.
It's still surprising to suddenly see someone I've never met before.
"Auntie, I'm here to exchange for food. I can exchange for some mountain products, ginseng, or copper coins."
"If it's some old furniture, you can replace it."
"Look, I brought all the food."
Zhang Weiguo pointed at the food on the shelf.
The old lady was very happy when she heard that there was food.
"How do you exchange this food, young man?"
"I brought cornmeal with me. Cornmeal costs eight cents a pound."
"I also brought some refined salt."
"Auntie, do you want to change?"
"Change, change, change."
The price of corn flour is now more than one cent, but Zhang Weiguo’s eight cents per pound is still very cheap.
When the aunt sees such cheap food, she will definitely be willing to exchange it.
After saying this, the aunt went back to look for something.
After a while, the aunt took out a wolf skin and a ten-year-old ginseng.
"Auntie, this ten-year-old ginseng is worth ten dollars."
"Is five dollars a good price for a wolf skin like this?"
When the aunt heard the price, she agreed immediately.
Zhang Weiguo said, "Auntie, how many kilograms of food do you want?"
"I want five dollars' worth of food," said the aunt.
"OK."
"Here's ten dollars, keep it for now."
Zhang Weiguo first gave ten yuan to the aunt.
Then he started weighing food for the aunt.
At eight cents a pound, five dollars can buy sixty-three pounds of grain.
Zhang Weiguo weighed 63 kilograms of grain.
"Auntie, I don't have any bags here, do you have any?"
"There's a bag. Wait, I'll get it."
The aunt came back with a bag after a while.
