Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 20Funeral procession?You can also pick up colorful ocean bowls here!

The old woman's tea stall is very simple, a simple small shed with a few tables and chairs nailed with wooden boards underneath.There is no signboard. In the countryside, many things are done by convention. Everyone knows what they are doing at a glance, and there is no need for a signboard.

There was a pot standing next to it with a lid on it, but some steam was coming out.Such stalls usually don't have many things. They only sell ginger tea in winter and herbal tea in summer to quench the thirst of passers-by.

As Lin Ran walked towards the old woman's tea stall, he was thinking about whether to change the place to collect rags today. After all, picking up rags still depends on luck, so Lin Ran looked at the funeral procession coming out of Xiahe Village and felt that it was not a good day to go there. Picking up leaks in Xiahe Village.

In fact, many times this idea is not due to feudal superstition, but because within the same cultural system, everyone has acquiesced in many things and reached an unspoken rule.

Just like today, Lin Ran was originally planning to go to Xiahe Village to collect things, but when he saw the funeral procession, he felt that something was wrong. Then many people in Xiahe Village may have seen that there was something wrong in the village today and were unwilling to invite people into their homes. This would also affect the situation. Lin Ran collected the things.

Because Lin Ran was not collecting ordinary rags, but wanted to pick up antiques, then in such a trivial atmosphere, people's mood may be worse, and the possibility of talking about some things they usually don't know will be smaller. Some, so Lin Ran considered whether to change the place to collect the trash.

"Old lady, have a bowl of ginger tea!"

Of course, this would have to wait until the funeral procession left before Lin Ran would set off. Whether it was going to Xiahe Village or other places, Lin Ran was unwilling to ride too close to the funeral procession on a tricycle.

Firstly, Lin Ran didn't mind, and secondly, he was afraid that others would not be willing to attend funerals. Some people did not like to meet too many people during funerals, as they would feel that the peace of the deceased was disturbed. This is why everyone would be upset when seeing an innocent person in the countryside. Reasons to avoid it.

"Okay, wait a minute, it'll be fine soon."

It seems that none of the old woman's tea stalls have just opened today, and the ginger tea has not been brewed yet. However, it does not take long to brew the ginger tea, and since the old woman said it would be quick, I couldn't wait a few minutes.

Lin Ran turned his head and no longer looked at the funeral procession, but focused on the bowl in the old woman's hand.

The tea bowls at this tea stall are not those of tea houses, but the big bowls, because most of the people who come to the tea stall to drink tea are people who are thirsty on the road and come to quench their thirst. If the portion is too small, it will not quench the thirst. The person setting up the stall is stingy.

Therefore, large and deep bowls are generally used. Such bowls filled with tea will also look more grand when placed on the stalls, and this bowl is often what the stall owner cares about. After all, the price of bowls in that era was higher than that of such roadside tea stalls. The tea is much more expensive.

The big ocean bowl in the old woman's hand was very unusual. The patterns on it were very beautiful and full.The style is exactly in line with the style of the Ming Dynasty's big bowl.

When the old woman put the big bowl filled with tea on the table, Lin Ran could clearly see the pattern on it. The painting was of woodcutter, fishermen, farmers, and readers. This was a commonly used theme in ancient times to reflect people's living conditions.

The so-called woodcutter refers to the person who chops wood, the fisher refers to the boatman who fishes, the plow refers to the farmer who works in the land, and the reader refers to the scholar who does not listen to anything outside the window and only reads the books of sages.

The four characters "Made in the Jiajing Year" on the signature are also correct. The glaze color is transparent and the shape of the bowl is beautiful. It is typical of the Jiajing official kiln porcelain of the Ming Dynasty. Such a well-preserved multicolored sea bowl made in the Jiajing Year of the Ming Dynasty is really rare!

In his previous life, Lin Ran remembered a large Jiajing colorful jar from the Ming Dynasty that was very similar to this colorful sea bowl. It was auctioned for more than 4000 million yuan at that time.

Lin Ran was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that it would take no effort to find it through worn-out iron shoes, and there was no need to think about where to collect the rags. The right way was to find a way to collect this colorful ocean bowl first.

Just like the previous idea, if Lin Ran directly said that he wanted to buy a bowl, it would definitely arouse the old woman's vigilance. The other party might not buy it for Lin Ran for a reason, and even the higher the price, the more counterproductive it would be.

Secondly, the old people at that time were often very stubborn in their thinking, so they had to find a way to buy the bowl that was acceptable to the other party.

Just as Lin Ran was thinking, the sound of gongs and drums behind him woke up Lin Ran, who thought of a good idea.

"Old lady, how much did you sell this whole bowl of tea to me?"

Facing Lin Ran's question, the old woman was stunned for a moment. After all, after setting up the stall for so many years, she had never heard of anyone wanting to buy such a big bowl.

"Young man, if you are thirsty, drink a few more cups. You can't drink such a big bowl of tea!"

Listening to the old woman's response, Lin Ran continued to explain.

"I'm not the only one drinking. We are mourning the funeral. We are all thirsty and cold. We all want to drink some ginger tea to warm ourselves in the winter."

Looking at the funeral procession in the distance, the old woman understood what Lin Ran was talking about.

"Then you go and drink. When you're done, be sure to bring the bowl back to me."

Lin Ran bought ginger tea as an excuse, but he really wanted to buy a sea bowl. How could he send the bowl back to the old woman, so he had to find a way to keep the bowl in his hand.

"No, if I bring the bowl back to you, I won't be able to catch up with the team. Won't the serious business be delayed?"

"How much would you sell me the tea and the bowl?"
