Jianbao life

Chapter 257

Based on Li Beibei's duplicity towards him, Chu Chen believed that Li Beibei must have no good intentions towards him.

But Chu Chen has no time to think about it now. He just wants to go back to the room as soon as possible to study his newly acquired Lingbao Eye and the priceless goblet. As for Li Beibei, he still keeps his distance as before. on the line.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen greeted the others, and returned to his room anxiously.

After returning to the room, Chu Chen locked the door, then took out the goblet, and observed it carefully again, but he still couldn't see why this thing was so valuable.

"In this case, let's try Lingbao Eye!"

Just do what you say, Chu Chen first read the introduction of Lingbao Eye in his mind, and then looked at the stem cup intently according to its usage method.Immediately, a three-dimensional goblet appeared in his mind. This picture made him feel very novel.

But after the novelty passed, Chu Chen felt something was wrong again, because if this stemware was really a priceless treasure, according to Lingbaoyan's explanation, then the body of the stemware would definitely emit a red-gold light, but the brain The image in the image didn't emit any light, which made him very strange. Could it be that the ability made a mistake?

Lingbao Eye can only be used for 10 minutes a day at this stage, so Chu Chen put away the ability first, and then thought about this question that puzzled him.

After hard thinking, he was still puzzled at the beginning. When he thought of the see-through function of Lingbao Eye, he slapped his head suddenly. He was so stupid. But that's likely just a cover-up for it.

The ancients have known for a long time the principle that a man is innocent and a woman is guilty, so in ancient times, some people, because of inheritance from their ancestors, or by chance, got a treasure that he couldn't keep or shouldn't have, but was reluctant to give up, and knew how to keep it. , will use various camouflage means to cover up the baby.

These methods include turning the good into the bad, the ancient into the present, or simply hiding it in a secret place, such as in a mechanism, so that the jealousy will not be stared at, and the things can be put in place. Pass it on safely.

From ancient times to the present, there are countless ways of hiding, some of which are unique to a family, but many of these methods have been lost.The more common ones are like the picture-in-picture where the bamboo and stone pictures were hidden before, and the "belly hall" that Chu Chen encountered twice.

And the stem cup in front of him, according to the result given by the supernatural ability, still has this feeling of old and new, needless to say, it should have been carefully covered up by the expert.

In order to confirm his own judgment, Chu Chen quickly used Lingbao Eye again, and in an instant an identical goblet appeared in his mind.

Then Chu Chen slowly infiltrated his consciousness into the goblet according to the instructions for using the Lingbao Eye, but he only felt that a layer of film had penetrated, and a red golden light appeared in his consciousness middle.

According to the introduction of Lingbaoyan, if it is really a valuable thing, on the image in the mind, it will emit various kinds of light according to its value. Those below [-] million are golden, those below [-] to [-] million are earthy gold, and those below [-] are bronze.

And since this goblet is a priceless treasure, there is no doubt that it looks red gold.

Chu Chen put away his abilities, and with excitement, carefully looked at this inconspicuous goblet. The ancients were really powerful. He never thought that such a thin layer of cover could actually cover a piece of wine. It's really miraculous that a priceless treasure has been transformed into this appearance.

"Wait! Makeover?"

Thinking of this, Chu Chen suddenly thought of a long-lost concealment technique, its name is "Changing Face". As for how he knew this special technique, it was actually in a miscellaneous note in Liu Lao's study. have witnessed.

And the characteristics of the method mentioned above are exactly the same as the stemware in front of you, that is, the cover layer is thin, and the fake one can be confused with the real one.

The cover-up steps of this method are also very simple. You only need to prepare a potion first, then put the thing in for an hour (two hours), and then take it out. Before the potion has penetrated, you can repair it naturally.

He originally thought that it was just a made-up story, but he didn't expect to see something covered up by such a technique, and it was incredible to think about it.

However, whether the concealment method of the stem cup in front of me is using this kind of technology still needs to be verified, and the verification method is also very simple, as long as the stem cup is soaked in water for an hour. up.

Just do it, Chu Chen took the goblet to the bathroom, filled the sink with water, put the goblet in it, and waited patiently. ...

An hour later, Chu Chen took the cup out of the pool and wiped it dry, then touched it with his hands. As expected, the cup was a little sticky.

After confirming that the cup is indeed covered by the "makeover" method, now we have to remove the things on it, so as to show the true face of this stem cup.

However, the things on it can't be removed by other methods except for washing them off with special methods, otherwise the things inside may be damaged.

This special method is actually very simple, that is, first soak the goblet in warm water for an hour, then put the smashed fresh acacia fruit into the water, and finally wash the cup inside and out.

Honey locust, also known as saponin locust tree, is one of the unique tree species of Hematoxylin family in my country, and honey locust fruit is a natural raw material for medicine, food, health care products, cosmetics and washing products.

In fact, in ancient my country, acacia fruit has been used to make washing products.According to historical records, a synthetic detergent appeared in the Song Dynasty, which was made by crushing natural acacia, adding spices and other substances, and making it into a ball the size of an orange, which was specially used for washing face and body, commonly known as "soap soap". group".

Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" recorded the method of making "soap balls": "Soap locusts grow in high mountains, the trees are tall, the leaves are like sandalwood and acacia leaves, they bloom in May and June, and the pods are three or four inches long. There are several sunspots, as big as a finger, not round, with white kernels in them, edible. The pods are picked in October, boiled and mashed, and made into balls with white flour and various incense, bathing the body and face, cleansing and greasy, better than acacia also."

And according to the relevant records in the miscellaneous notes in Mr. Liu's study, it is best to use the fruits that mature in October for the acacia fruit, but fortunately, the fruits in September are also fine, but the quantity should be larger, otherwise Chu Chen would really Can only look and sigh.

Fortunately, saponin trees are widely distributed, from the north to the south and southwest of the country. When Chu Chen was wandering in Qingmen Town, he saw three trees. Now he just went to collect some fruits for emergency use.

Of the three saponins, two of them should be unowned, and the other is planted in the yard of a family. Of course, Chu Chen would not go to the two unowned saponins to pick acacia fruit Otherwise, if he was asked to climb a tree to pick it in public, he would really be ashamed of it.

Chu Chen came to the house where the saponins were planted. The owner was very enthusiastic when he heard that he wanted to spend money to buy the saponins on his tree.Acacia fruit is very cheap, Chu Chen gave him 20 yuan, and he gave Chu Chen a big bag full of acacia fruit.

Then Chu Chen took the bag of acacia fruit, bought a ceramic garlic masher, and returned to the hotel.

Back in his room, Chu Chen was about to start removing the layer of potion on the goblet.

He asked the waiter for two washbasins, then poured an appropriate amount of warm water into one of the washbasins, carefully put the cup in it, and while the cup was soaking, he used a garlic masher to crush the acacia fruit It was smashed.

In this way, while pounding the acacia fruit, while paying attention to the temperature of the water in the washbasin, an hour passed in a flash.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Chen quickly put the mashed acacia fruit into the water, and then washed it. As the potion on the surface of the cup was slowly washed away, gradually, the goblet in front of him was exposed. It has revealed its true face of Mount Lu.

The color of the material used for the whole cup is not egg white like before, nor is it fat white like suet white jade, but snow white without any blemishes, the white is so pure, so natural, When people see it, they are deeply fascinated.

It took a long time before Chu Chen came back to his senses, and he quickly washed the cup again with clean water.But when he wiped the cup dry and looked over again, he found a phenomenon that made him feel a little strange.

He clearly remembered to wipe the cup completely dry just now, but at this time the inner wall of the cup was still a little wet. He thought it was a mistake, so he wiped it with his hand, and it was indeed water stains. What surprised him even more was that, The place he wiped just now had some water condensation again.

While this surprised Chu Chen, he immediately thought of a legendary artifact.

"The ever-full cup! Could this be the legendary luminous ever-full cup?!"

There are many artistic and scientific drinking vessels in ancient my country. There is a kind of cup called "changman cup". The cup is made of a cone made of high-quality white jade. .

In the strange novel "Ten Continents in the Sea", there is a record of Changman Cup: "When King Mu of Zhou, the Western Kingdom presented the Kunwu Jade Cutting Knife and the Luminous Changman Cup. The knife cuts jade like cutting mud, the cup is the essence of white jade, and the light shines at night. In the evening, the cup is put out in the courtyard, facing the sky, and the water juice is already filled in the cup. The juice is sweet and fragrant. tool."
