"What is it?" Li Shilin couldn't wait to see Su Ming peeling back the red cloth layer by layer.
He asked directly and urgently.
Seeing his anxious look, he was like a man of steel who had been abstinent for thirty years and saw a woman for the first time.
Su Ming thought to himself, how does this look like leisure time for you? It is obviously more important than agriculture, right?
If I hadn't known Li Shilin's identity, I would have thought that he was just a professor of history.
"I can't tell which dynasty the inkstone belongs to. Anyway, it is said that it has been passed down for many years, so it should have some history."
Su Jiang smiled and placed the square inkstone he had collected in Li Shilin's hand.
"hiss!"
Li Shilin exclaimed.
"Chengni Inkstone!"
He recognized the material of the inkstone at a glance.
"Professor Li is really professional!" Su Ming admired him from the bottom of his heart.
Li Shilin ignored Su Ming's flattery and said to himself: "The Chengni Inkstone is one of the four famous inkstones. Its mud quality is the best and the densest. The ratio of various types of gold sand powder is also perfect."
"It is made by relying on the ancient technology of making bricks and pottery. After filtering the soil, removing the coarse residue and precipitating it, adding some firming agents, and then making it into a green body and burning it. Its texture is hard and wear-resistant, and it is easy to get wet when you breathe it.
The ink is emitted without damaging the pen and without consuming ink.”
"What a great inkstone, what a great inkstone, and it's so well preserved. Judging from its color, it's conservatively estimated to be about 500 years old."
Listening to Li Shilin's words, Su Ming was a little confused.
"Is this treasure really so good?" he asked in disbelief.
Li Shilin ignored him, as if he was already immersed in his own antique world.
He picked up the magnifying glass and solemnly put on a pair of white gloves.
He continued to look at the inkstone carefully.
While looking, he nodded.
"The owner of this inkstone had an unusual status in the past!"
He looked at the inkstone for fifteen or six minutes.
He reluctantly handed it back to Su Ming, but when Su Ming took the inkstone, he clearly saw Professor Li's Adam's apple twitching.
It seemed like he was swallowing saliva, or like he had something to say but couldn't say it.
"Professor Li, is this antique so good?" Su Ming asked again.
This time, Li Shilin finally faced Su Ming's question head-on: "Nonsense, antique inkstones are the most popular among antiques, not to mention that yours is so well-preserved."
"I can guarantee that if this inkstone is put up for auction, it won't be auctioned without 400,000 yuan."
It was Su Ming's turn to be shocked.
"Four hundred thousand?!"
He never dared to think that the inkstone he collected for 500 yuan could be sold for 400,000 yuan!
It seems that the person who sold it for 200,000 yuan in the previous life still lost 200,000 yuan!
Li Shilin felt that Su Ming's reaction was normal.
Just the next second, Su Ming's words shocked Li Shilin.
"Professor Li, you see, I don't understand these things, so why don't I give them to you?"
silence.
Li Shilin swallowed eight mouthfuls of saliva.
Only then did he react from Su Ming's words.
"You, you said, gave me this thing?" He pointed to the inkstone in front of him, held by Su Ming, without daring to send a letter.
It might be understandable if Su Ming gave this inkstone to himself before he said its value. After all, people may not understand, so they don't know how valuable this inkstone is.
But it's different now.
I have already assessed the value of a full 400,000 yuan.
Su Ming could actually be so calm and indifferent as to give this inkstone to him.
This flavor is completely different.
This shows that in Su Ming's heart, his importance to him far exceeds 400,000!
Li Shilin was moved.
Thinking back just now, I was still hesitating whether to help others make off-season vegetables, but they gave such a treasure to me without hesitation.
You must know that this kind of inkstone is rarely seen in normal times.
It can be said that there is a price but no market.
How could he not be excited?
As an antique lover himself, he didn't know how to refuse for a while.
No, it should be said that he couldn't refuse at all.
"Xiao Su, I can accept this inkstone. I will definitely help you with your out-of-season vegetable matter, and at least let you earn no less than this guy's money!"
Li Shilin took the inkstone and raised it cautiously as he spoke.
After saying that, he put the inkstone into one of his drawers as if he had found a treasure.
Su Ming received Li Shilin's affirmation and felt at ease.
Because in his previous life, Su Ming used Li Shilin's technology to build a huge vegetable base.
He became a famous vegetable king in China.
In this life, you can engage Li Shilin in advance and start building off-season vegetables from Dayuan Village. I believe you will be able to make more money earlier.
Su Ming began to look forward to it.
"Professor Li, I am really grateful that you can help me. With your help, I believe that my off-season vegetable base will be established quickly!"
He excitedly held Li Shilin's hand and was not at all arrogant because he had just given Li Shilin a valuable inkstone.
Then the two had an in-depth exchange of views on off-season vegetables.
Su Ming listened very seriously in front of Li Shilin. He had no choice but to do it. In his previous life, he was the boss.
These trivial matters are all left to the servants to deal with Li Shilin.
Now that he was alone and weak, Su Ming had no choice but to do it himself.
He sat in front of Li Shilin, like a student obediently attending class.
Holding a piece of white paper, I listened and took notes, and kept asking my own questions.
Li Shilin is a good teacher. I don’t know if it’s because of the inkstone’s reputation or because he is very patient.
Su Ming's problems were also explained in great detail.
Back and forth, the two talked for more than an hour.
Su Ming's hand was also filled with three large pieces of A4 paper.
"Okay, these are the general theoretical knowledge I want to tell you. I will ask one of my students to help you specifically on how to do it."
Li Shilin said and shouted outside.
"Xiang Di, come in!"
At this time, in the laboratory outside.
Several students didn't know what happened inside. Ever since Su Ming closed the door, they didn't know what the two people inside were talking about and how the conversation went.
I only know that from what Su Ming said just now, it is definitely impossible for Li Shilin to agree to Su Ming.
As a result, while they were having their own selfish desires, Li Shilin shouted and asked Miao Xiangdi to come in.
They thought of it instantly.
"It seems that the teacher is asking Miao Xiangdi to go in and chase people away again this time?"
"Is this person so shameless? The teacher already had a look of disapproval on his face, and he still closed the door to beg."
"Let's watch the show soon."
"Why are these businessmen and bosses so ignorant?"
Amid the discussion among his classmates, Miao Xiangdi walked into the office.
