Lan Guoer couldn't help but widen her eyes and look at the box in front of her.
It is less than 40 cm long, less than 30 cm wide, and at most 30 cm high!
How can such a small box contain so much wealth?
She really couldn't imagine what kind of treasure was inside!
But since the Third Master said so, she had no reason to doubt it!
The Third Master grew up in the Lan family and has lived a life of luxury ever since he could remember.
Although I suffered a bit in the past few years abroad, it was only mental suffering. Materially speaking, I was very rich!
The gold, silver and other treasures that ordinary people regard as precious are nothing more than vulgar things to him that he cannot bring with him when he is born and cannot take with him when he dies!
Being called wealth by him...Lan Guoer couldn't help but become curious!
Blinking her bright eyes, she gently opened the box in front of her.
What caught my eye was a thick stack of paper.
The paper is slightly yellowed, exuding a hint of ancient and mysterious atmosphere!
Some of them were already broken, as if a gust of wind could blow them away, so she didn't dare to reach out and touch them easily.
"It's okay. Take a look. The paper looks worn, but it must have been specially treated with chemicals. It's still quite tough."
Seeing her cautious look, the Third Master explained.
Only then did Lan Guoer discover the clue on the paper. It seemed that there was a layer of transparent protective film attached to it. It was invisible unless you looked closely, and it did not affect the appearance or vision at all.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart! The Lan family's ancestor was actually quite knowledgeable about technology. He was even able to develop a paper water repellent back then?!
But this is obviously not the time to worry about these things.
She scanned the contents of the top page at a glance, and the more she read, the more shocked she became!
These words seemed to be given life, jumping and dancing in her eyes. Every word exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, and shook her soul!
It's Kesi (Kesi)! The Kesi weaving technique, which was lost in later generations, and a series of related weaving details!
The key points were recorded in great detail! Even a complete layman like her could discern some clues from the text.
You know, in later generations, kesi has the reputation of "an inch of kesi is worth an inch of gold" because of the complexity of its craftsmanship and the difficulty of manufacturing!
Although she had not carefully studied the weaving methods of later generations, according to the records in this ancient recipe, the difficulty level did not seem to be that great!
Could it be that there was an error in the practice of later generations? !
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became!
If this is true, then this ancient recipe is a treasure whose value cannot be measured!
She suppressed the throbbing in her heart, gently opened the first page, and put it aside. The text on the next page suddenly came into view.
This picture records the ancient tie-dyeing and batik techniques.
Then, she saw the traditional craftsmanship and techniques of Shu brocade, which was very valuable in later generations, as well as the details of various fabric weaving and embroidery techniques.
After reading through these ancient prescriptions one by one, Lan Guoer finally understood what the Third Master had just meant.
The Lan family started out in the textile industry, so it is understandable that the ancestors of the Lan family regarded this as the foundation for revitalizing the Lan family!
Just when she thought that these were all textile-related craft inheritance techniques, she never expected that what was presented to her next was the ceramic firing technique.
Surprised, she couldn't help but turn to the next page.
It's cloisonné! Every step of the process, from filigree to blue-dotting and blue-firing, is recorded in meticulous detail.
Next came the production techniques of lacquerware, weaving, etc. Every ancient recipe surprised her and refreshed her knowledge time and time again!
She even saw some Chinese acupuncture techniques and lost prescriptions in it.
Seeing that less than one-third of the page had been turned, Lan Guoer couldn't help but gasp and almost cried out in shock!
"These, aren't they all... techniques and secret recipes?!"
Her Lan family’s ancestors are truly admirable!
This vision, this foresight, this pattern... Her Lan family deserves to have a huge fortune and last for billions of years!
The third master nodded!
"I've read it all. It records a lot of ancient craftsmanship and manufacturing details. Many of the techniques are even more advantageous than those used today!
It can be said that each one of them is a livelihood!
As for whether to use it or not, and how to use it? You have a quick mind, so I'll leave it to you. Third Uncle will be at your command at any time."
Lan Guoer patted her chest and carefully closed the lid.
She knew that there were many ancient recipes here, which were like rare treasures in later generations and were favored and sought after by wealthy nobles!
However, given the current national conditions, it is too early to put it into practice!
In the early days of reform and opening up, people had just enough food and clothing, and the public's pursuit of quality was not that high.
Most of these ancient recipes are traditional crafts, and each one requires a lot of time and effort to carefully produce. Even if they are produced, they may not be able to adapt to the rapidly changing and highly competitive market environment after the reform and opening up.
If we want to revitalize these traditional crafts, we can only take the high-end luxury route targeting a small number of people, or use it to do business with foreigners!
I have to say that foreigners’ views on traditional Chinese culture are worthy of praise!
On the contrary, for a long time after the reform and opening up, many Chinese people worshipped foreign things and turned a blind eye to their own country's traditions and advantages. They thought that imported and foreign things must be good, and there was even a wave of studying abroad.
