Chapter 231: Lacquer Art Inheritance
Haishi is not a place where lacquer trees are concentrated, so there are only seventy or eighty lacquer trees in the back mountain of Qianxi Village. Shi Liu looked at the lacquer trees with regret.
Zhou Pan knew at a glance that Shi Liu wanted to dig up trees: "It's not appropriate to dig up too many, but digging up one or two is no problem."
Shi Liu hesitated, worried about getting scolded. "Isn't there anyone in the village who makes lacquerware?"
"In the past few years, the market was closed, and villagers were busy working in the fields all day. Few of them learned lacquer craftsmanship, so don't worry."
"That's good. Let's pick two that are growing well and transplant them."
While transplanting, Shi Liu sighed and said that fortunately, neither he nor his wife were allergic, otherwise it would be troublesome.
The sap of the lacquer tree is toxic. For those who are allergic to raw lacquer, skin contact will cause redness, swelling, itching and pain. Accidental ingestion will cause severe irritation such as stomatitis, ulcers, vomiting, and diarrhea. In severe cases, toxic nephropathy may occur.
Shi Liu personally speculates that the difficulties in inheriting lacquer craftsmanship may be related to the difficulty in harvesting raw lacquer.
Medical research was backward in ancient times, and many people were extremely feudal and superstitious. They would think that obvious allergic symptoms might be witchcraft or curses, and even regarded them as infectious diseases and avoided them.
As a result, the collection of raw lacquer would be very troublesome, and without sufficient raw lacquer, it would be impossible to make exquisite lacquerware.
The job of digging the tree was naturally Zhou Pan's, and Shi Liu, who had some free time, started wandering around.
[Discover the burial place of the lacquer art master. Do you want to sign in at 5 sign-in points?]
Shi Liu was stunned. She didn't expect that a lacquer craft would require 5 check-in points. It seems that the lacquer art master has extraordinary skills.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in and obtaining the inheritance of lacquer art master Liu Zhenyue]
The 5 check-in points were all spent, and Shi Liu did not hesitate about the rest of the check-in places. After all, this intangible cultural heritage was too precious. In the absence of a shortage of check-in points, she naturally wanted to sweep them all away so as not to miss out on any good things.
[Discover the lacquer art master's workshop. Do you want to sign in at 1 sign-in point?]
[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully and receiving a set of lacquer tools]
[Discover the lacquer art master's workshop. Do you want to sign in at 2 work points?]
[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully and obtaining the lacquerware manuscript of lacquer art master Liu Zhenyue]
Shi Liu excitedly shouted, "That's great!"
Zhou Pan raised his eyebrows, wiped the dirt off his hands, and said, "I think you may have obtained the lacquer art inheritance you wanted."
"Yes. Although I don't know much about Master Liu Zhenyue, but to be called a master by the system, I believe he must be a master in lacquer art. I am so lucky."
Even Zhou Pan did not expect this. Although he knew that there was a lacquer art master's burial place here, he was not very clear about the other party's level. He originally thought that it would be good enough for the other party to have some real skills. He did not expect Shi Liu to be so lucky.
"Speaking of which, your luck seems to be getting better and better."
Zhou Pan swore that this was definitely not his illusion.
Even Shi Liu himself felt that his luck was getting better and better.
[The host has never stopped doing good deeds. With the addition of merit, his luck will naturally become stronger and stronger. Experiences of good fortune like this will only become more and more frequent in the future. The host should get used to it as soon as possible.]
After hearing this, Shi Liu relayed the system's words to Zhou Pan: "No wonder the older generation always said that people should do good deeds and accumulate virtue. This is absolutely true."
Zhou Pan agrees: "A person's destiny at birth is determined in their previous life, but destiny is not static."
"If a favored person of Heaven commits all kinds of evil, then even the strongest luck will eventually run out. On the other hand, if an unlucky person is willing to work hard to change, then his or her luck will also change."
Zhou Pan thought of the Koi senior and was very glad that no matter what the Zhou family's personal morals were, they would never dare to do evil. Anyone who did so would be severely punished.
There was a member of the family tree who refused to listen to advice and did evil things that were against the will of heaven and earth, and was eventually expelled from the family. It was precisely because of this former member who was severely punished that later members of the family did not dare to openly violate the family rules.
It can be said that every member of the Zhou family does some charity work. Later on, the Zhou family even has their own charity organization, and spends no less than 300 million on charity every year.
Although Shi Liu didn't get along well with other members of the Zhou family in her previous life, as Zhou Pan's official girlfriend, she had some understanding of the Zhou family's charitable work. It was precisely because of these charitable works that she did not do anything extreme towards that group of people.
Her adoptive father, a master of metaphysics, was even more passionate about charity. After all, few people who studied metaphysics did not believe in cause and effect.
Under the influence of her adoptive father, Shi Liu is also quite keen on charity, but she likes to sponsor the construction of libraries in poor areas, and she also buys some exercises and sends them over from time to time.
Friends who knew about Shi Liu's behavior were speechless. The top student didn't understand the pain of the poor student. He was clearly doing good things, but he would probably be scolded.
When she first heard this argument, Shi Liu pursed her lips and turned around to send a batch of "Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years of Simulation", making sure that the college entrance examination students could feel her enthusiasm, hehe...
Thinking of the exquisite lacquer bracelet, Pomegranate said happily: "I think I should be busy next -"
"You seem quite happy. What else do you want to study? I'll ask someone to help me find out."
For people who have too many and too broad hobbies, it is actually a bit boring to always focus on one thing.
During this period, Shi Liu has been continuing the skills she learned before, and she has gained something new every time. However, she still feels a little bored. Fortunately, she has now inherited a new lacquer art, which is enough to keep her fresh for a long time.
At present, Shi Liu is not very anxious about learning other skills: "If possible, I would like to re-learn jade carving. You know, I studied jewelry design before, and I really can't resist these sparkling jewels and jades."
Zhou Pan nodded. Just by looking at Shi Liu's jewelry box, one could tell how deeply she loved this kind of thing.
The history of Hetian jade is relatively long. Judging from the unearthed cultural relics, it has been popular at least since the Xia and Shang dynasties. As for jadeite, although it has been around for a relatively short time, it has also exuded a unique charm due to the hype of some people.
There have been many excellent jade carving masters since ancient times. However, except for a few famous masters, most jade carving masters are unknown. It is difficult for Zhou Pan to find the masters' remains in a short time. Thinking of the previous turmoil, Zhou Pan's eyes flashed.
"Perhaps we can find a jade carving master in Hai City to inherit our legacy..."
