Treasure Hunt America

Anyway, there is no rush for such a day, Jin Muchen drove and took Sister Tao to find a hotel in the city center, and then the two started to look for food on the street. 【Full text read..】

Chao@zhou, even in eastern Guangdong Province, is also a famous hometown of gourmet food. Although this city has many ancient and criticized bad habits, when it comes to food, everyone has to give their local delicacies, put up a root thumb.

Under the guidance of the locals, the two found the most lively night market street in the area. At this time, it was already the first time when the lights were on. For this city with a very slow pace of life, the nightlife here has just begun.

The two found a stall. Jin Muchen didn't speak Cantonese very well, but this happened to be Sister Tao's strength.

Soon the two of them ordered a casserole porridge, a Chao@zhouchangfen, plus a plate of Chao@zhouda fish ball porridge, anti-sand taro, and a variety of specialty snacks.

The two drank beer and began to feast on each other, and they enjoyed their meal.

When Jin Muchen was in the United States, he also frequented restaurants opened by immigrants from eastern Guangdong, where he often went for morning tea, so he was familiar with Cantonese snacks.

But after eating the snacks here, he understood that the Cantonese food he had eaten in those Chinese restaurants in the United States was all fake and rubbish. Compared with the authentic Cantonese food here, it was completely different. There is no comparison.

The refreshments in those Cantonese restaurants in the United States are basically the improved varieties, and the ones here are called the original ones.

"East Cantonese cuisine, especially Chao@zhou cuisine, has its own characteristics. They are very particular about the ingredients and what they cook, they all pay attention to the original flavor, so the special dishes here are very popular even in Xiangjiang. of..."

Sister Tao knows a lot about these things, and while eating, she explained some of the history of Chao@zhou cuisine to Jin Muchen, and Jin Muchen listened with relish.

Eat this meal. While chatting, the two of them ate very happily, and they enjoyed the food without any pressure. It is also very interesting to learn about the history and customs of a city.

The meal didn't last until ten o'clock, and Jin Muchen's appetite completely stunned Sister Tao.

Sister Tao has gotten along with Jin Muchen these past few days, and she is considered to be familiar with him. So he didn't pretend to be fake in front of him, and he opened his stomach to eat when he was eating, but even so, it was just a bowl of porridge and a portion of rice rolls, and he was full.

However, Jin Muchen killed the remaining two pots of porridge alone, plus a piece of rice rolls, plus a few other local specialties. Because the weight was not enough, he finally added a few more.

He eats like this. Not only did it frighten Sister Tao, but even the owner of the food stall was stunned. Although he said that the restaurant owner is not afraid of pot-bellied men, he didn't want someone to die in his own restaurant because of eating too much.

Fortunately, after eating and drinking all the way, Jin Muchen was able to talk and laugh freely. In the end, he was able to go out and drive with a big laugh. Such a strange man shocked the owner of this food stall. Since then, his mind has been full of more. a concept. Northerners are very edible!

"I finally understand why you can grow so big!"

As soon as she got in the car, Sister Tao laughed and teased Jin Muchen, while Jin Muchen laughed. I secretly said in my heart, I have only eaten seven cents full. If I hadn't been afraid of scaring you, I could eat everything in that store by myself.

Back at the hotel, the two of them rested in peace, speechless all night. The next morning, the two got up, had breakfast at the hotel, and then went straight to a counterfeit shop she knew before following the address pointed out by Sister Tao.

"...The fake porcelain in Chao@zhou is very famous. You must know that in China in the past, when people talk about porcelain, they will think of Jingdezhen, but where is Jingdezhen? That place is a famous porcelain capital, dedicated to the Royal University. The place where porcelain is fired. The porcelain produced there is generally reserved for the use of the imperial palace, and it is rarely used by the people. Most of the porcelain produced by some local folk kilns are high-quality products, and the price is also very expensive. It was used by some rich landlords at that time, and ordinary people could not afford it at all. Because of this, many porcelain kilns specially designed for civilians have been built all over the country, including the Bijiashan kiln in Chaozhou. The porcelain fired here is famous for its white color and light, thin and sturdy tire. During the Qing Dynasty, it was very popular in eastern Guangdong. Many local wealthy households like to use the products of the Bijiashan kiln factory. In this way, the Bijiashan kiln factory, It's getting more and more famous over and over again..."

Jin Muchen was driving the car, and Sister Tao started to introduce him to the history of porcelain firing in Chao@zhou. After listening to her, Jin Muchen realized that 100 years ago, Jingdezhen was not the only one in China. The place where porcelain is produced, there is also a Bijiashan Kiln Factory in eastern Guangdong.

"Later, with the arrival of foreign devils, the fame of this Jiashan kiln factory also attracted the attention of those white-skinned ghosts. Later, this Jiashan kiln factory also received a lot of orders from the West. At that time, the tide @The porcelain here in zhou has a good reputation. Even in Yangcheng, many people began to like to use their porcelain. But later, because of the war, the Bijiashan kiln factory began to decline gradually. After liberation, the place did not flourish. Later, after tg established its political power, the Chao@city government organized the Beajiashan Kiln Factory, but at that time, the porcelain produced here was mainly ordinary porcelain, exclusively for ordinary people. However, the porcelain factory here soon declined again. The reason I think you should have heard about is because of the big pot of rice. After the reform and opening up in mainland China, the Beacon Hill kiln factory quickly declined and fell into disrepair. Then the factory stopped and many workers lost their jobs. But since then, many skilled workers began to figure out how to find a shortcut to make a fortune, so it became common to burn fake antique porcelain. In the 1980s, here It has become a famous base for firing fake antique porcelain. Of course, at that time, the market for the fake porcelain they fired was mainly Xiangjiang, and then it was spread from Xiangjiang to the European and American markets. It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, the European and American markets were Almost seventy-five percent of the Chinese porcelain that goes up for auction, as long as it's fake, comes from here..."

Jin Muchen really didn't know what Sister Tao said before, but hearing her say this this time was an eye-opener.

"This time we went here, mainly to meet a famous old master, and see if we can collect a few high-quality imitation works from his hands."

Sister Tao's remarks made Jin Muchen understand the main purpose of their trip.

Under the guidance of Sister Tao, he drove the car around the streets and alleys, and soon drove the car to the old @city@ district, and then stopped the car at the gate of a family.

The courtyard of this family can be seen from the outside that it is not small in scale. The courtyard walls are two meters high, and the vermillion iron door is already mottled.

Sister Tao knocked on the iron door outside the door, and it took a long time for someone to shout from inside: "Which one?"

"xn"

Sister Tao replied in Cantonese outside the yard, Jin Muchen was confused, and then a middle-aged woman in her thirties opened the courtyard door.

Then the two stood at the door, chatting in Cantonese, chatting like that for about half an hour, before Sister Tao finished talking with the woman, and then turned around disappointedly and brought Jin Muchen into the car.

In fact, just by looking at her face, Jin Muchen knew that this time it seemed that she was going to return empty-handed, and her hopes were dashed.

Since no one was found, it would be meaningless to continue Panheng here. Jin Muchen drove Sister Tao back to the hotel and checked out, and then drove directly to Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

"What's the matter? Isn't the person you're looking for?"

Seeing that Sister Tao was sullen all the way, Jin Muchen asked.

"Hey! Don't mention it, the Master Mai I'm looking for died five years ago."

"what?"

Jin Muchen was also surprised by this news. It seemed that Sister Tao's way was going to be blocked this time.

"You mean that the master of counterfeiting is dead?"

"Yeah! Died of a heart attack."

"People like him usually have descendants! For example, in places like Chao@zhou, he will definitely pass on his own craftsmanship to his children! And you didn't say it too, Chao@zhou was doing well at that time, but he wasn't the only one, if you can't find him, then look for someone else!"

Jin Muchen comforted Sister Tao casually to ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but Sister Tao smiled wryly and shook her head.

"You're right, that Mr. Mai's ability was indeed passed on to his son, and his son also learned really well. But a few years ago, he watched people make ice@drugs. @ is very profitable, so I learned from other people to do that thing, and I made some money, but during the Chinese New Year this year, the police gave it to the police, and I am still waiting in the detention center for the sentence. As for the other things you said Those masters turned out to be similar to the son of this master Mai. Over the past few years, I have seen that the money is fast, and they have all gone to learn to make it. Now they are all arrested by the police. Hey! It seems that the pen holder here is The skills of the Shan Kiln Factory are about to end!"

The information from Sister Tao's mouth made Jin Muchen speechless for a while. I really didn't expect this to happen.

Then it seems that Chao@zhou has no hope. Where else can Sister Tao go next?

Just when he was interested in this question, Sister Tao suddenly became happy: "You don't have to worry, although this place is not good, but China is so big, we still have many places to go." (To be continued.)
