Chapter 1406 Bamboo tube

Lu Fei was extremely excited when he got the divine porcelain wood kiln chrysanthemum dark pattern small bowl by chance.

Carefully, he took out all the empty brocade boxes and spare high-density foam in the bag, and carefully packed the small porcelain bowl.

Lu Fei was relieved when he placed the packaged small bowl in the safest place.

Then he climbed onto the coffin again, and Lu Fei's little heart was extremely nervous.

I was very careful every step I took, choosing a location that I had explored before settling on.

Yan Shifan even has divine porcelain, but there is no guarantee that there are other good things.

Apart from anything else, there are three small bowls of the same style in the broken wooden box. It is very likely that they are a complete set of wood kiln porcelain bowls.

Therefore, Lu Fei must be careful and never cause any harm to the baby.

Touching a small bowl again, Lu Fei already judged that it was a set of wood kiln porcelain bowls based on his previous experience and touch.

Feeling certain in his heart, Lu Fei became even more excited.

Lu Fei spent fifteen minutes cleaning the three small bowls before taking them all out of the water.

Just as I guessed, they were all divine porcelain wood kilns.

The specifications are the same, and the dark flower pattern is the most common "plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum".

There is no doubt that this is a complete set of wood-fired porcelain bowls.

And it's in perfect condition, without a single flaw.

Before, I had to bite the bullet and agreed to develop this very large shantytown.

Now it seems that it is worth thousands of dollars.

Not to mention such a big project, even if Lu Fei had to exchange half of his net worth for this set of magical porcelain, Lu Fei would agree without hesitation.

For the sake of Shenci, Lu Fei was completely willing to sacrifice himself.

A set of divine porcelain was carefully packed, and Lu Fei sat down on the ground, leaning against the mound and giggling.

"Xiaofei, stop laughing."

"It's almost dawn."

"If we don't deal with the aftermath here, we will probably be discovered!" Gao Yuan said.

"good!"

"I'll clean it up right away."

"Xiaolong Xiaolei, go load it.

Some diesel was released from the plane. "

"After cleaning up in a moment, burn this coffin." Lu Fei said.

"Brother, this is golden nanmu!"

"Just burned like this?"

"You keep the car beads?" Lu Fei asked.

"puff."

"This thing is too unlucky, I don't want it!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Burn!"

"okay!"

The two young men put out the gas, and Lu Fei lit a cigarette and continued to explore.

I groped down the location where the divine porcelain was found, but found nothing more.

After cleaning up the right side, Lu Fei came to the left.

At Yan Shifan's feet, Lu Fei found several more exquisite gold objects and jade pendants.

With the previous divine porcelain, Lu Fei couldn't get the slightest interest in looking at these things.

Now all Lu Fei's hopes are pinned on Yan Shifan's left hand.

The right hand is the divine porcelain. If there is another good thing, it must be on the left hand side.

Hey!

Sure enough, there was a discovery.

Buried deep in the mud on Yan Shifan's left hand side was a thick cowhide sheath.

The cowhide sheath was highly rotten, and a bamboo tube was wrapped inside.

Judging from the feel, the bamboo tube is relatively well preserved.

Touching the bamboo tube, Lu Fei's mood that had just calmed down became excited again.

Bamboo tubes covered with cowhide were the highest preparation for preserving calligraphy and painting works in ancient times.

Even though the material is the most common moso bamboo, the production process is cumbersome.

The first is the selection of materials.

The most advanced bamboo painting tube must be made of high-quality moso bamboo from Chishui, Guizhou, with an altitude of more than 800 meters.

Chishui belongs to the mid-subtropical humid climate zone

, warm winters and early springs, hot summers with frequent droughts, less sunshine throughout the year, and mostly rainy days in early summer and late autumn. The three-dimensional climate and regional differences in climate characteristics are significant.

It is because of this environment that the strongest moso bamboo in China has been created.

Even if it is Chishui moso bamboo, you must choose one with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters before feeding.

Moso bamboo shoots almost stop growing when they are raw. It is not easy to grow to a diameter of more than 20 centimeters.

Moreover, for each moso bamboo, only about the fifth to seventh sections from the root upward can be used.

This part is the straightest and relatively thick.

Therefore, only a piece of material suitable for making a painting tube can be taken out from each moso bamboo.

But this is just the beginning.

After the material is intercepted, both sides must be sealed with soil immediately to avoid water loss as much as possible.

Then soak it in warm water with rice wine and rice vinegar added within an hour to increase the toughness of the moso bamboo.

This process takes at least a full day.

And during the soaking process, the same temperature must be maintained.

The temperature cannot be low and it cannot boil at the same time.

This requires more patience than ordinary people to control firepower.

After soaking is complete, the next step is the key.

After being fished out of the water, the moso bamboo must be placed in a place where it cannot see sunlight to dry naturally.

There will be many uncertainties in this process.

If the air is too dry or the temperature is too high, moso bamboo will often explode during the drying process.

Even if a tiny gap is exploded, this piece of material can only be declared scrapped.

Often during this process, only four out of ten moso bamboos survive.

Being able to guarantee such a success rate would be pretty awesome.

The shade drying process lasts at least seven days.

Before it is completely dried in the shade, it must be boiled in a large pig oil pan for a second time.

This step is to allow the inside of the moso bamboo to penetrate

Infused with grease, it can be quickly sized and effectively waterproof.

The cooking process in the oil pan lasts for three days.

After cooking it on the first day, take it out, hollow out the inside and soak it in warm oil overnight.

After cooking is completed the next day, polish the fine stubble and check whether there is any deformation.

Even if there is a little deformation, this material can only be scrapped.

If there is no deformation, it is necessary to make the plug and cover of the painting tube.

This link is more precise.

After making it, install it and then experiment with hot oil.

If oil leaks out, it must be scrapped.

Once everything is fine, let’s cook it for the last time.

Then you have to do experiments, polish and polish, and finally deliver it for use.

After this series of operations, there is almost no one left.

Such tedious craftsmanship and ultra-low success rate make moso bamboo painting tubes one of the most expensive ones.

During the Hongwu period when currency was the most valuable, a bare cylinder without any decoration or packaging cost two taels of silver.

Therefore, most people cannot afford this thing.

Even rich people will not deliberately waste money.

Most of the works preserved in this kind of painting tube are the best of the best.

Generally speaking, rich people dress in high-quality goods.

What great works will the Yan family, who is extremely wealthy, use it to store?

What's more, Yan Shifan was buried with him, and he kept a painting tube that was symmetrical to the sacred porcelain wood kiln. No matter what he thought, there must be a great treasure inside.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Fei couldn't hide his excitement.

However, while he was excited, Lu Fei was also worried to death.

Although the bamboo painting tube has been waterproofed, it is currently buried deep in the mud, and Lu Fei cannot guarantee whether it is damaged or not.

If it is damaged and soaked in water for hundreds of years, no matter how awesome the work is, it is likely that it will not be saved.
