    After talking about the texture of the gourd, Chu Chen also talked about the other two factors that determine the quality of the gourds, the technique of the gourds and the composition and content of the gourds.  In these two aspects, Wang Ruyang's pyrography gourds are also very good.  After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Wang Ruyang was quite happy. Zhou Wenping smiled and asked, "Old Wang, when did you like twisting gourds with your hands?" Wang Ruyang smiled and said, "I am also influenced by my father-in-law.  Some time ago, he saw a friend playing with hand-twisted gourds, and he bought a few to play with. From then on, he got out of hand and asked me to play with them. But you also know that I have always liked calligraphy and painting, and I don¡¯t know anything about hand-twisted gourds.  I have never bought this gourd before. I happened to see this gourd at a stall when I came here after watching the excitement. I thought it was a good price and bought it. I didn¡¯t expect to get your approval, Mr. Chu.  , What an unexpected surprise!" "In fact, the reason why Wang Ruyang bought this pyrography gourd was not only that it was pleasing to the eye, but also mainly because every time he went back to his father-in-law, he always asked him if he had bought it.  Problems such as hand-twisting gourds made him a little impatient, so he simply bought one to replenish his balance. Unexpectedly, he got Chu Chen's approval, which surprised him very much.  Many people's love for antiques started when they got a good collection. Wang Ruyang was like this at this time, and he liked to take things as he happened. The hand-twisted gourd he bought by accident turned out to be a good one. 5¡Ä, w¡Ý, let  He felt that it would be a good choice for him to collect hand-twisted gourds in the future.  So, Wang Ruyang asked again: "Teacher Chu, if it is an ordinary hand-twisted gourd, how should I choose?" Chu Chen replied with a smile: "The biggest feature of the hand-twisted gourd is its "smallness", and of course the smaller it is  The better. Generally, the height of hand-twisted gourds is 46 centimeters, but the size of high-quality hand-twisted gourds is preferably 3 to 5 centimeters. Of course, the size should be suitable for your hand.  " "In addition, the first thing that makes you happy when you hold a beautiful and compact gourd is your own mood. So when choosing a hand-twisted gourd, you should also carefully observe the overall appearance of the gourd.  The selection is almost complete, and you also need to pay attention to whether there are scratches or the like, and the skin must be dry. " "Although hand-twisted gourds are not expensive, they cost at least several yuan. Nowadays, even the vegetables are being faked.  The gourd is hand-twisted. Therefore, there is one more thing to pay attention to. Some gourds with too white skin may have been soaked in medicine, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled when buying them. " Speaking of this, Chu Chen pointed to Wang Ruyang's.  He only had a gourd and said, "Actually, there is one thing about your gourd that is very unfortunate." "Which one?" Wang Ruyang asked quickly.  "The biggest feature of the hand-twisted gourd that is different from the songbug gourd is that it is born with a 'faucet'. The faucet I am talking about is the vine on the top of the gourd. To judge the quality of the gourd, you must first have a good faucet." Chu Chen said  : "The gourd is originally natural, and its unique shape and growing vines create a lifelike interest. Therefore, you must have a faucet when choosing a hand-twisted gourd, otherwise the value of the gourd will be greatly reduced. A gourd like yours used to be  It has a dragon head. But I don¡¯t know why it was cut off. This can be seen from the traces. " "Fortunately, your painting is very good, and the value is not too great.  "Hearing this, Wang Ruyang quickly put the gourd in front of his eyes and found that it was exactly what Chu Chen said. This made him somewhat regretful. If he understood, this gourd was cheap for a reason.  At this time, Zhou Wenping asked: "Old Wang, how much did you spend on this gourd?" "This is the number." Wang Ruyang gestured.  Chu Chen smiled and said: "It's quite cheap. If you meet someone you like, it's possible to be two or three times taller." Of course, the reason why it can be so high is also because the base number is low.  Wang Ruyang waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "I am going to keep this gourd and have no plans to transfer it." It is rare that he bought a small masterpiece for the first time. It is very commemorative, and Wang Ruyang is not short of a few.  Of course he wouldn't sell the gourd for hundreds or thousands of dollars.  After chatting for a while about twisting gourds, Wang Ruyang said with a smile: "Teacher Chu, I came here today to invite you to attend a small party as an expert." "What party?" Chu Chen asked.  Wang Ruyang smiled and said: "It's just a small gathering between me and a few collector friends. There will probably be some transactions during the period, so I would like to ask you to help comment." Chu Chen said: "Mr. Wang, the main category of your collection  It¡¯s calligraphy and painting, I¡¯m not a professional in this area??Proficient!  " Wang Ruyang said with a smile: "Teacher Chu, you are so humble. Last time you went to Beijing TV Station to record a program, I happened to be there. I admire your comments on the same calligraphy and painting.  "Chu Chen smiled when he heard this. The calligraphy and painting appraisal expert invited by the TV station didn't know what he had eaten for lunch. He kept having diarrhea in the afternoon, so he asked him to make a cameo. "Wang Ruyang continued: "And, that day we  I have also invited the district elder, Mr. Gao Tulu Chuanxiong Lu, and you will be mainly responsible for the porcelain.  " Chu Chen nodded. Going to such a party would open his eyes and expand his network. He agreed to come, but there was one thing he had to confirm. So,  He asked: "Mr. Wang, I am going on a long trip tomorrow and it will take a week to ten days to come back. If the time is not coincidental, please forgive me for not being able to participate.  " As mentioned before, although Chu Chen did not fully recognize the information on the remaining treasure map, he was able to know where the treasure was buried. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Chu Chen decided to go there as soon as possible.  Let's go and try to find the treasure. Wang Ruyang heard this and said quickly: "Our party is scheduled for July 13th. I wonder if you have time on that day?  " Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "It should be nothing. Otherwise, if something happens, I will call you a few days in advance.  " "Okay, okay, then we'll be waiting for you.  "Wang Ruyang told Chu Chen the time and place of their gathering with a smile on his face.   After lunch the next day, Chu Chen and Zuo Shan took their luggage and went to the airport together. And Wu Ke went  Because she wanted to turn the theoretical knowledge she had learned into practical experience as soon as possible, she did not go with him this time to the location of the treasure map, which was located in the Jiazhou Mountains of Jingchu, close to the location where the legendary savages often haunted.  After the flight, Chu Chen and Zuo Shan took a taxi at the airport to the hotel they had booked. The taxi driver was also a eloquent person. Maybe he thought Chu Chen and Zuo Shan were here for a trip, just because of their profession.  Chu Chen didn't care about the relationship. During this period, he happened to know a little more about the city of Xiazhou through the driver. In Chu Chen's impression, Xiazhou should be a small city at most.  It was only about the size of a small and medium-sized city. However, through the driver's explanation and what he saw along the way, he realized that he had underestimated Xiazhou. He didn't know how big it was, but he felt that after a rough tour of the city, he had no idea.  I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t work in a day or two. Moreover, after the driver¡¯s introduction, Chu Chen found out that Xiazhou was the largest city in Jingchu besides Jiangcheng, and the locals also said that by that time, the capital of Jingchu Province would not be Xiazhou.  Although Chu Chen didn¡¯t know the truth of this matter, it at least reflected Xiazhou¡¯s status in Jingchu. After settling his luggage at the hotel, Chu Chen saw that it was still early and told Zuo Shan that he would go to Jiang.  It is only a ten-minute drive from the hotel to the shore. It is neither hot nor cold in Xiazhou, Yichang. In the evening, the park on the riverside is the most popular.  An ideal place for walking, looking at the quietly flowing river and enjoying the gentle breeze, it feels quite pleasant. Of course, such a good place is also the first choice for couples, and the probability of successful pursuit must be high.  Across the road, there was a different scene. There were many food stalls. After Chu Chen and the others strolled by the river for a while, they saw that there were already many guests there, and they heard that even late at night, business was booming there.  So the two of them went over to join in the food tasting. Although it was a food stall, the food was not simple. It was the most distinctive river fish, crayfish, duck head, etc. in Xiazhou, accompanied by beautiful scenery and delicious food.  , It¡¯s such a fairy-like life. No wonder Xiazhou has become a well-known livable city in the country. After having a little taste of Xiazhou¡¯s customs, Chu Chen and Zuo Shan took the equipment they had prepared and took the car to their destination.  A small mountain village near the place, and then walked to the location of the treasure. For the sake of confidentiality, Chu Chen never said the purpose of this trip to Xiazhou, and Zuo Shan never asked, but he could retire at any time.  Shan became more and more curious. When he got off the car, he found that this place was just an ordinary mountain village, and it was surrounded by mountains on three sides. There were no places to visit around. He could no longer hold back his doubts and asked: "Chu  Master, what are we here for?  " Chu Chen laughed and said, "I thought you couldn't bear to ask.  ¡± Zuo Shan scratched his head,Hehehe smiled.  He has been in contact with Zuo Shan for a long time. Chu Chen is absolutely sure that Zuo Shan is not the kind of person who is blind to money. It is precisely because of this that he brought Zuo Shan here. Otherwise, he would rather come alone.  He came to Xiazhou and was unwilling to put himself in danger.  So, Chu Chen said with a smile: "Zuo Shan, do you believe that I got a treasure map?"
