    Meng Zitao said: "Shopkeeper, this is too expensive for you."

    The shopkeeper waved his hand and said hurriedly: "Teacher Meng, your calligraphy is worth the price to me. In fact, I have taken advantage of it. In the future, I won't be able to ask for it even if I want to."

    Meng Zitao smiled slightly and said, "Well, how about I write you a piece of Wang Bo's "Sending Du Shaofu to Shuzhou"?"

    "Okay, okay!" The store owner originally just wanted Meng Zitao to write a four-character quote, but now that Meng Zitao could write a poem, he was undoubtedly surprised and nodded in agreement.

    After saying that, the store owner asked Meng Zitao to wait for a moment, and then went to get a piece of rice paper.

    When Meng Zitao saw this piece of rice paper, he felt it was unusual, so he heard the store introduce it: "This rice paper is Wang Liuji rice paper from the Republic of China. I only have two of them."

    Zhong Jinxian asked: "Is this rice paper more expensive than this special leather?"

    Meng Zitao said: "Of course it is more expensive. Rice paper of this quality costs 500 yuan per sheet."

    Zhong Jinxian rolled his eyes: "Shopkeeper, don't you still have one? Just sell it to me."

    Meng Zitao looked at Zhong Jinxian and asked, "What do you want to do, kid?"

    Zhong Jinxian said with a smile: "I think, I have already written it anyway, so why not write another one for me and I will keep it myself."

    "It's weird to believe you. Besides, it's good to use this special clean rice paper, so don't be greedy for the only piece of rice paper left by the shopkeeper." Meng Zitao glanced at Zhong Jinxian, then lowered his head to study the ink.

    Zhong Jinxian didn't care, and said with a smile: "I listen to you, but remember to write another poem for me later."

    Meng Zitao said: "You think calligraphy is like eating. I will write for you when I get back. When you have time, come and get it yourself."

    "Okay, just don't forget it."

    Zhong Jinxian is not in a hurry about this matter. Anyway, Meng Zitao will be in the capital for about ten days, so he has plenty of time.

    After grinding the ink, Meng Zitao concentrated his mind and composed the song "Send Off Du Shaofu to Shuzhou" in one breath. When Meng Zitao put down the seal, the shopkeeper couldn't help but clapped his hands and shouted.

    However, Meng Zitao felt a little dissatisfied, especially the last word "Jin", which felt a little lacking in momentum. He said with some embarrassment: "I apologize, my writing skills are not good enough. I will give you a new one when I have the opportunity in the future."  Bar."

    The store owner looked away from the words and waved his hand quickly: "Teacher Meng, you are too humble. If this is not good, then there are no good words."

    Meng Zitao smiled. He didn¡¯t want to explain more. He just felt that since he had accepted other people¡¯s things, he had to keep the best. When he reaches his level in the future, he would definitely create another one for the store.

    After that, the two parties exchanged business cards, and then Meng Zitao and the others packed up their things and said goodbye.

    Shen Liwei sent Meng Zitao and Zhong Jinxian out of the door, then quickly walked to the table and looked at the Zhang Cao work in front of him like a treasure.

    "The strokes are elegant, the skill is extraordinary, it looks like clumsy workmanship, vivid but not ostentatious, upright but not stiff, good calligraphy, really good calligraphy!"

    Shen Liwei read it over and over again, and the more he watched it, the more he liked it. In the end, he couldn't help but said to himself: "Hey, hey, I have to call that guy Lao Liu. Let's see how he brags about his calligraphy this time!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The next day, the driver took Meng Zitao to a manor in the suburbs of Beijing. The surrounding scenery of the manor was pleasant, with birds singing, flowers fragrant, and green trees inside. Although the weather was already hot, walking on the tree-lined path and enjoying the breeze made me feel  It's comfort rather than warmth.

    After passing the security check at the door with the letter of introduction, Meng Zitao followed the staff to get his participation certificate.

    Then, Meng Zitao walked into a hall under the guidance of the staff.  At this time, there are already more than a dozen people sitting in the hall, all of them should be contestants.

    As Shu Ze introduced before, these contestants are all relatively old. Of course, this is relative to him. These people are basically between thirty and forty years old. Among the many experts in antiques,  Still a new force.

    Therefore, Meng Zitao, who was in his early twenties, was quite conspicuous in everyone's eyes. However, everyone did not show contempt for Meng Zitao because of his young age. After all, those who could get the invitation were elites.  As an old saying goes, if you don't have three points, you won't dare to go to Liangshan.

    Looking around, Meng Zitao found that there was no one he knew among these people, so he found a chair and sat down.?He thought for a moment and had the answer.

    "That's it." Meng Zitao smiled at the examiner.

    Seeing that the time had only passed two minutes, the examiner reminded: "Do you need to think about it again? Once you answer, you will have no chance to answer again."

    Meng Zitao said: "Thank you, I have already thought about it."

    In this case, the examiner stopped persuading and said, "Please answer."

    Meng Zitao pointed to the two pieces of ceramics and said: "This piece of ceramic is stained with food spoilage, while this one is stained with smoke stains. As for the remaining piece, it is a lead-green glazed pottery from the Han Dynasty and does not need to be cleaned."

    "Oh, why don't you need to clean it up?" the examiner asked again.

    Meng Zitao explained: "There is a silver-white shiny substance on the surface of lead-green glazed pottery in the Han Dynasty. People call it 'silver glaze'. It is actually a layer of deposits after the glaze has been dissolved and generally does not need to be removed. There is also the white color here  The covering is actually corrupted glaze, and generally this type of corrupted glaze does not need to be removed.¡±

    The examiner nodded and then said: "Then please tell me how to clean the other two pieces of pottery."

    Meng Zitao talked eloquently: "First of all, let's talk about food spoilage. This type of pottery is mainly used as funerary objects, containing food and other items. As time goes by, the food has rotted and deteriorated, so the utensils have also been contaminated. The removal method is  Soak and scrub with detergent. The detergent is usually alkaline. It can undergo a saponification reaction with fats to form soluble fats and salts that can be washed away. Some stains can also be removed by scrubbing with organic solvents."

    "The other piece is actually a piece of cooking utensils. The surface is blackened by charcoal smoke. It can be prepared and finally oxidized to remove it. After cleaning, rinse with water. Complete answer."

    The examiners nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Meng Zitao was able to speak so clearly in two minutes. His basic skills are still very solid. Moreover, Meng Zitao is proficient in antiques and he is only in his twenties. This is already true in the field of antiques.  This is a very rare level of genius.

    Because of Meng Zitao's outstanding performance, the female examiner also began to have some doubts about whether the pieces of porcelain that Meng Zitao selected just now were all correct. But if they were correct, it means that Meng Zitao has better eyesight than her.  It was too high for her to accept.

    Finally, the female examiner no longer thought wildly. Judges would judge whether Meng Zitao¡¯s choice was right or wrong. If it was indeed right, there would be no shame in losing to a contestant who could participate in the competition.

    The preliminary round is over and the results of the competition need to be announced at noon. Meng Zitao still has to wait for the results here, but the waiting place has been changed to a hall, mainly to avoid leaking the test questions.

    Because the previous contestants all took more than fifteen minutes to come out, it only took Meng Zitao about ten minutes to come out now. Although Meng Zitao appeared calm and composed, other contestants in the hall still felt that Meng Zitao had already come out.  With no hope of advancement, no one came to communicate with him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
