    After saying goodbye to Zuo Shan who looked grateful, Chu Chen drove to his shop.  "Hello, Boss Chu!" "Boss, you are back" As soon as Chu Chen walked to the door, someone smiled and greeted him.  It had been a month since he went to Myanmar this time and came back yesterday. When he returned to his shop again, Chu Chen felt extremely cordial when he heard these greetings.  Chu Chen smiled and chatted with the clerk and customers. He also handed a package of gifts brought back from Europe to the employees and handed them to Zhou Wenping, asking him to distribute them to everyone when he got off work.  Although these gifts are just trinkets and not very valuable in themselves, the employees in the store seemed very happy when they heard about such good things.  This is exactly what Chu Chen wants to achieve. It doesn't cost much, and it also makes employees feel that the boss is always thinking of them, so why not?  Next, Zhou Wenping took a notebook and reported to Chu Chen in his office the store's affairs and income and expenditure for the month.  Finally, he also handed over what he had written down to express his gratitude to Chu Chen for decision-making.  Chu Chen put down the list in his hand and said, "Just buy what Mr. Xie wrote!" "Okay, I'll get ready now!" Zhou Wenping nodded: "Then when do you want Mr. Xie to come?"  "Just listen to his opinion on this matter!" Chu Chen replied.  "If he goes by his ideas, he will probably want to come to work tomorrow." Zhou Wenping said with a smile.  "Yes, he can come if he wants to. I have no objection!" Chu Chen said with a smile.  "Then I'll notify him after I've bought the things." "Yeah!" Chu Chen nodded: "Brother Zhou, you've worked hard this month!" "What's so hard about it? Compared with us picking stalls, the work now is not necessary  It¡¯s so easy!¡± said the end.  Zhou Wenping seemed a little emotional, thinking about those days.  In order to make a living, it is normal for him to wake up early and go late at night, in the wind and rain. And if it weren't for Chu Chen, he would still be living like this now. This also made him more determined to use better in the future.  work to repay Chu Chen's determination.  Hearing Zhou Wenping talk about picking a stall, Chu Chen was also very emotional, if it was a year ago.  He would never have thought that he had changed so much. Even now, he sometimes felt that he was having a daydream, for fear that he would suddenly wake up from this dream.  "The world is so wonderful!" Chu Chen sighed secretly.  After handling various affairs in the store, Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping walked out of the office together. When he walked upstairs just now, he saw Yuan Hongjian coming in with a box, which immediately reminded him of Uncle Wu before.  He wanted to see what he was told now.  What exactly is Yuan Hongjian¡¯s stuff?  Chu Chen walked to the reception room and heard Yuan Hongjian dancing and talking to Uncle Wu.  "Sir, what did you hear today that makes you so happy?" After a period of contact.  Only then did Chu Chen find out that Yuan Hongjian also had a very gossipy mind, as long as it was some strange news.  Or some knowledge in the market, he likes to find out.  And every time I come.  Yuan Hongjian would narrate these things to the people in the store with embarrassment, and he also had a good tongue.  These things Leng showed him the effect of storytelling.  Sometimes Uncle Wu would make fun of him. If he didn't talk about storytelling at this level, it would be a great loss to the audience.  "Xiao Chu, I didn't hear about what happened today, this is my personal experience!" At this point, Yuan Hongjian slapped his thigh, with an expression of regret on his face.  "Ah! What's going on?" Chu Chen asked quickly.  "Hey" Yuan Hongjian let out a long sigh, and then told what happened.  After hearing the cause and effect of the incident, Chu Chen was also very speechless. Why do you think it was?  It turns out that Yuan Hongjian was so heartbroken because he just missed a Kangxi Tongbao. Although this Kangxi Tongbao had a special format, it only cost a few hundred yuan.  Let alone a few hundred yuan, after all, it is not a small amount of money for ordinary collectors, but the price given by the vendor of this Kangxi Tongbao is less than a hundred yuan from its true value.  Just for this little money, Yuan Hongjian acted so exaggeratedly, Chu Chen couldn't be speechless.  "Hey! Do you think it's unnecessary to do this for this little money? If it were normal, even if I lost a hundred yuan, I wouldn't feel bad. But think about it, I was just a second too late.  , someone else got the stuff first, you think I'm depressed or not" "Okay, okay! I know you're depressed, it's okay! But Xiaochen has a lot of things, so you should give me the things you brought.  ??Check it out!  " Knowing that if he continued like this, Yuan Hongjian would probably chatter endlessly, Uncle Wu quickly interrupted his words. "Yes, yes, yes!  I almost forgot about the real thing!  "Yuan Hongjian looked stunned, and then quickly took out the contents of the box. It turned out to be a plate that looked very much like alum red glaze. Alum red glaze is one of the red glazes. It is a low-temperature glaze, with alum as the base.  The raw material is calcined and rinsed to make alum red glaze, so it is called alum red glaze. The main colorant is iron oxide, also known as iron red. Its color is often orange-like red. The firing method is to burn the glaze.  The alum red glaze was glazed on a white body and fired twice in the kiln at around 900 degrees. The alum red glaze began to develop greatly in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, due to the exhaustion of the Macang soil and the decline of the technology for firing copper red glaze during the Jiajing period.  The color of the glaze is not as pure and bright as the copper red glaze, but its color is stable and easy to fire. It was widely used as a red color in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Porcelain capital kilns often used alum red to match various colors to depict various patterns such as dragons, phoenixes, and flowers.  , the painting is exquisite. This plate by Yuan Hongjian looks like it has very fine carvings, and the pattern on it is also very telling. It is one of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing, "Qingxue on the West Mountain", also known as "Eight Scenes of Yanjing".  "Eight Scenes of Yanshan" or "Eight Scenes of Yantai" were named after the Ming Dynasty during the Jin Dynasty. Later generations of literati wrote poems one after another and became famous. In the Ming Dynasty, Li Dongyang added "Autumn Wind in the South" and "Time Rain in the Eastern Suburbs" to the eight sceneries.  He also wrote the poem "Ten Scenes", so there is also the saying of "Ten Scenes of Yanjing". Xishan refers to the general name of the mountains in the western suburbs of the capital. The snow scene also refers to this area, so Xiangshan is a typical peak in this area.  Qianlong erected the "Xishan Qingxue" stele on the hillside of Xiangshan Mountain. The Xishan Mountain has beautiful scenery and has become a gathering place for temples since the Tang and Song Dynasties. The famous Xishan Eight Courtyards were built in the Jin Dynasty.  The famous landscape after snow in Xishan. According to historical records, more than 800 years ago, Jin Shizong built Dayongan Temple and a palace in the Xiangshan area. Later, his grandson, Zhangzong Wanyanjing, directly succeeded him to the throne.  , and buildings such as the Star Sacrifice Platform and the Huijing Building were built here one after another. It seems reasonable to say that this is the snow-covered scenic spot of Zhang Zongding in the West Mountain. It can be imagined that whenever it starts to clear up after the snow, you can see the mountains from here.  Jade rows, peaks and peaks, the rising sun shines brightly, and they are all wrapped in red, which is extremely magnificent. It should be said that "clear snow" is more poetic and picturesque than "accumulated snow". There were literati here in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties.  He wrote countless poems, and in the Ming Dynasty, the name was changed from Xishan Qingxue to Xishan Jixue. In the Qing Dynasty, construction work began in Xiangshan in the 10th year of Qianlong's reign. In the 12th year of Qianlong's reign, the park was renamed Jingyi Garden.  It is a famous ancient temple and cultural landscape in history, and it also has a deep and quiet mountain forest and a rich natural ecological environment. After Qianlong came to Jingyi Garden to see it, he wrote the poem "Qingxue on the West Mountain" and changed "Jixue on the West Mountain".  It is called "Xishan Qingxue" and the poem is engraved on the "Xishan Qingxue" monument, which is located on the mountainside of Xiangshan Mountain to the north of the mountain pavilion, on the right side of the Chaoyang Cave hiking trail. What makes Chu Chen feel very regretful is that the snow scenery of Xiangshan Mountain is indeed beautiful.  , but now, snowfall is rare in the capital, and beautiful snow scenes are even rarer. Not to mention that it is difficult for foreign guests to enjoy it, and even for citizens, it is rare to see it.  So, now, the reputation of "Qingxue on the Western Mountains", which was once praised by many literati, has gradually declined.  The beautiful scenery of Xiangshan is replaced by the red leaves of Xiangshan.  In autumn, the red, yellow, vermilion and red leaves are dazzling, and the cotinus leaves are dyed in layers, making it a good place for sightseeing and viewing.  This made Chu Chen sigh and also think of an idiom "Times have changed and circumstances have changed".  Chu Chen looked at the plate carefully, and immediately knew that the plate must be a fake. However, the material of the plate seemed a bit strange. It looked like porcelain, but it didn't feel like porcelain. It felt very strange.  "Senior, don't you know what's the mystery of this plate?" Wu Hongjian said with an expression that was not surprising, "This plate will change color!" "Change color?" Hearing such an answer, Chu Chen also  Can't help but be stunned.  "Yes, it will change color!" Yuan Hongjian said confidently.  It turned out that a few days ago, Yuan Hong Jiantao bought this plate in exchange because he felt that the carving was very detailed and the pattern was very telling. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Although it was a little dirty when he bought it, it would be fine after washing it.  .  But it doesn¡¯t matter if you wash it. Something strange happened. The plate that was originally red turned green immediately after being touched by water!  This surprised Yuan Hongjian, and at the same time he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the color of this plate has faded?  But this is impossible. If the plate really fades, it cannot change from red to green!  And what surprised Yuan Hongjian even more was that after the plate was dried, it returned to its original red color!  ???What is going on?  Yuan Hongjian thought hard and couldn't think of a reason for the moment. However, when he saw a few stones in the flowerpot, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of something he had heard before. Some plates were made of chameleon.  It is carved, changes color, and is very precious.  In order to confirm his guess, Yuan Hongjian also used a red-hot iron needle to test it on the plate. Sure enough, not only was the plate not damaged at all, but there was no smoke at all.  This made Yuan Hongjian extremely happy. Could it be that this plate was really carved from color-changing stone?  (To be continued)
