Chapter 447: The Great Repayment of Grace Temple
Song Yun ignored Shen Xue at all, and continued to carefully rinse the floor tiles with the mineral water in his hand. The mud was washed away piece by piece, and the floor tiles showed their true appearance.
"what?"
"It's impossible, right?"
"Will it really be that kind of floor tile?"
Zhu Deyuan's eyes stared at the boss, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Impossible, right?"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
"Isn't this kind of thing said to have disappeared long ago?"
"The only piece left now is in the hands of a collector. Apart from that, I have never heard of a second piece. Why did it suddenly appear?"
"And it's still two pieces when it appears?!"
"This is really incredible!"
Xu Desheng muttered to himself, as if he was asking someone else, but in fact he was asking and answering himself. The two floor tiles in front of him were beyond his expectations.
Tang Miaomiao didn't speak, but the expression on her face was very serious, and she was thinking about the same thing.
Shen Xue looked left, looked right, originally wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything. The expressions of Zhu Deyuan and Xu Desheng, including Tang Miaomiao, already explained the floor tiles on the table. Definitely nothing ordinary.
Shen Xue's little face couldn't help blushing. She knew that she might have made another joke, and glared at Song Yun fiercely. This was definitely Song Yun's fault, and she made herself ugly again.
Song Yun continued to wash the floor tiles attentively, but didn't notice Shen Xue at all. The floor tiles didn't know where they were before, and pieces of soil were stuck on them. .
Zhu Deyuan and Xu Desheng were still standing by the side at the beginning, and then they simply cleaned another floor tile by themselves. Tang Miaomiao and Shen Xue finally joined. It took five people nearly an hour to finally clean the two floor tiles, revealing the truth. Allow.
Zhu Deyuan and Xu Desheng took a rag, sucked up all the water, took out a small flashlight with strong light, and studied it seriously.
Song Yun simply went to rest on the sofa. Zhu Deyuan and Xu Desheng were there, and they didn't have their own appraisal at all. They must have to wait for the two old men to watch it before they could get their turn to appreciate it.
"Tang Miaomiao, what exactly is this?"
"Isn't this a floor tile?"
"Could it be some amazing baby?"
Shen Xue didn't seem to understand, so she could only ask Tang Miaomiao as a last resort.
"You are right, it is indeed a floor tile. At that time, this was not an ordinary floor tile. If these two floor tiles are real, then they must be the most famous floor tiles in the world, no one."
Tang Miaomiao wanted to take a look at it, but Zhu Deyuan and Xu Desheng occupied a piece of it, and they had no share of their own at all, so they could only stand by and watch the excitement.
"Miao Miao, how can a layman like me understand you when you say that?"
"The most famous floor tile in the world?"
"For me, such a name is the same as no one. You have to tell me where it is so awesome, right?"
Shen Xue was a little anxious, she really couldn't understand.
"It's said that you should read more books when you usually have nothing to do, but you don't listen, and now you're making a fool of yourself?"
Tang Miaomiao looked at Shen Xue with schadenfreude.
Shen Xue was speechless, who said this was a fact?
Zhu Deyuan put down the strong light flashlight in his hand, raised his head, looked at Song Yun, and then looked at Tang Miaomiao and Shen Xue.
"Huaxia has had the habit of using floor tiles since ancient times, and they have been used in many places."
"The most familiar one is of course the floor tiles laid on the Golden Palace Hall in the Imperial Palace. For example, the floor tiles laid in the Golden Palace Hall of the Chinese Forbidden City are unique in the whole world. According to research, these floor tiles are from Suzhou, and the steps and methods are very complex."
"Some techniques for making such floor tiles have been lost, and although they are still being fired, there is still a certain gap with the original."
"Why are the floor tiles used in the Golden Palace so expensive? It takes two years for each tile to actually appear from the beginning. The texture is very hard, and there is a metallic sound when tapped. At the same time, because of its very high cost, A floor tile is worth one or two gold, so such a floor tile is also called a golden brick."
Shen Xue saw that Zhu Deyuan stopped, very dog-legged, poured a cup of tea and handed it over. If he wanted to hear the story, he had to serve the old man well.
Zhu Deyuan was very satisfied, took a few sips of tea, moistened his throat, and continued to speak.
"But even so, such gold bricks are not the 'boss' of the floor tile industry. The most expensive floor tiles in the world come from Dabao'en Temple."
"Dabao'en Temple is a temple built by Zhu Di, Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, in memory of his mother. There is a glazed pagoda in it, with a total of nine floors. The exterior is octagonal. An ever-bright lantern, dazzling as the sun during the day, and brightly lit at night, it can be seen from dozens of miles away.”
"The Linglong Pagoda is extremely high, and it is said to be equivalent to a twenty-story building today. Without modern construction tools, such a building would undoubtedly be very difficult. For this reason, Zhu Di summoned a large number of craftsmen from all over the country to build a building in Nanjing. In the suburban area of Yaogang Village, 72 official kilns were set up. They used pottery clay as their tires. They were molded at high temperature and then painted with various glaze colors, even imported from foreign countries, and then fired at low temperature. In addition to the components, a batch of floor tiles were fired, and because such floor tiles are blue and white, they were historically called Ming Yongle blue and white bricks.”
"Isn't it just a brick?"
"What's so great about it?"
Shen Xue didn't know the experience, things like floor tiles are everywhere in daily life, not necessarily so powerful!
"ignorance!"
"You are so ignorant!"
"This is definitely something a layman can say!"
"Do you think such floor tiles can be easily fired?"
"Don't look at this as just such a floor tile, even if it is placed in modern times, it is impossible to burn it!"
Zhu Deyuan was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and he really made Shen Xue angry.
"Old Zhu, don't be angry."
"Shen Xue is not a person in our circle at all. I don't understand these things at all. It's normal to be ignorant."
Tang Miaomiao couldn't help laughing, she could see that Zhu Deyuan really made Sun Xue angry.
"Humph!"
"Tang Miaomiao is right. You are a layman. You don't know the power of this thing. I can't be angry. It's not worth being angry with someone like you!"
Zhu Deyuan waved his hand, Tang Miaomiao's words reminded him that Shen Xue is not a person in the collection circle at all, and it is normal to say such ignorant words.
