In a private vegetable shop, in a secret luxury office.

Xu Mingliang opened his suit, with a Cuban cigar dangling from his mouth, and the big TV screen in front of him showed every move of Shen Qiu and the others. Since entering the private vegetable shop, Shen Qiu's behavior was all under Xu Mingliang's surveillance.

The corners of Xu Mingliang's mouth turned up slightly, and he couldn't help showing an imperceptible smile when he watched the live action on the screen. He, Xu Mingliang, had never lost to anyone. As long as he set his sights on the baby, no one could take it away from him.

"Hehe..." Xu Mingliang let out a puff of smoke and laughed, "Shen Qiu, even if I can't get it! I will never let you get it!"

……

The six dishes on the table are dishes carefully selected by the six chefs in the store. Every piece of antiques is a test of the master's eyesight. It is perfect to use them to test Shen Qiu.

"clang!"

After the first course was settled, a dish of braised carp was presented in front of Shen Qiu, and a young appraiser wearing glasses stood up on the table.

"Master Shen Qiu! This is Zhao Shibo, the youngest treasure appraiser in our Xu's Antique Shop. He is a top student in the history department of Yenching University. He is 23 years old, but he was the sales champion of our former store last year, topping the sales record for ten consecutive months, and his vision and talent for identifying collections are amazing! This piece of braised carp was unearthed by him in August last year!"

Although Zhao Shibo is only 23 years old, he looks old-fashioned. His eyes are cloudy, his frontal bones are thick, and he has a powerful gaze. He doesn't look very good, but his temper seems to be very strong.

"Shen Qiu! I heard that you claim to be the number one treasure appreciator in Jiangcheng? Let me see your appreciation level today. Is it a donkey or a horse? If you can see this braised carp Come on, even if you win or else..."

When Zhao Shibo said this, he paused deliberately: "Otherwise, you'd better go back to Jiangcheng and be your number one appraiser! Don't be ashamed of yourself in Yanjing! Come, come, come! Just tell me what this collection is. What era is it?"

Shen Qiu raised his head and looked at Zhao Shibo. This guy was standing next to him. He came up just like a firecracker, and his tone and momentum were very arrogant.

"I won't tell you what year it is, I'll correct you first!"

"Haha!" Zhao Shibo smiled, raised his head and showed his soot teeth: "What qualifications do you have to correct me? I am the master chef of Xu's Antique Store. Looking at the whole Yanjing, there are no people who can correct me. Many, but you, Shen Qiu, absolutely do not have the qualifications!"

"Cough cough..."

Miao Jiafu, who presided over the banquet, interjected: "Master Zhao, if you say something, you can't say it because you are the master of our Xu family antique shop. If you say it is a correction, you have to look at the content of the other party's correction. If there is no change, then encouragement, not only you, but all the masters of the Xu Family Antique Shop must humbly accept the teachings of others, Master Shen Qiu, please say..."

Shen Qiu nodded and said to Zhao Shibo: "Zhao Shibo! The next time you talk to someone, can you maintain the minimum respect and distance, remember that the mouth is so close to the person, the smearing, the smell is indescribable, you see This is my napkin, I haven't touched it yet! It's full of your drool..."

After finishing speaking, Shen Qiu picked up the napkin in front of him, the clean white napkin was covered with Zhao Shibo's saliva.

Ye Mei couldn't help laughing: "I'll go! Shen Qiu, if you don't tell me, I'd think someone is shitting here! Hahahaha..."

"Eh...you...Shen Qiu, you..." Zhao Shibo's face was embarrassed and he was at a loss for words. He originally wanted to use this dish to embarrass Shen Qiu, but who knew that before Shen Qiu tasted it, he gave him a blow, in front of this The presence of many colleagues made him unable to get off the stage.

"Okay, okay! Shen Qiu counts as you can, tell me which era you said this braised carp is from!" Zhao Shibo was about to publish it, but he suppressed his voice, showing embarrassment and ugliness.

Only then did Shen Qiu's eyes fall on this stewed carp.

Obviously this is not a real dish.

It is a carved ornament made of gems and jadeite. The braised fish is carved from a piece of red mountain stone. It happens that this piece of red mountain stone has a clear sense of layering and colorful colors, which exactly corresponds to the appearance of carp.

In addition, the shredded ginger, green onion, and various pepper ingredients in the braised carp are embellished with various precious jadeites. Generally speaking, although this braised carp is fake, it is so lifelike that it is almost real. They are exactly the same, even the braised soup and carp scales inside are displayed.

It can be said that if this dish is put on a banquet, it can definitely be faked. It is indeed a delicious delicacy that is pleasing to the eye.

"Shen Qiu, tell me! Which era is this braised carp from..." Zhao Shibo lowered his voice, pointed at this dish and shouted eagerly. Obviously, the real age of this dish is his biggest trump card, just waiting for Shen Qiu made a mistake, so he managed to defeat Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu didn't answer in a hurry, but picked up the "Braised Carp in Red Sauce", turned around and saw the mystery, pointed to the inscription on the reverse side of the dish and said: "Isn't this obvious? The inscription is from the Northern Song Dynasty During the year, 1156, Chun, the engraving master was a master of Ishii.

Shen Qiu felt a hot temperature between his hands first, and then a special picture of this work appeared in his mind. This dish came from Bei Cangzhou in the Song Dynasty. In the birthplace of the city, the local county government held an activity similar to a carving competition, requiring local craftsmen to use Hongshan stones as raw materials to carve 36 exquisite dishes, and select eight dishes from them to dedicate to the Northern Song Dynasty at that time. emperor.

"Braised Carp" was born in such a background, but shortly after the creation of this work, an accident occurred. The Jin soldiers invaded the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, causing repeated wars, and the carving competition was delayed. In the end, Ishii The master's braised carp was sold to a wealthy businessman in the capital, who spent nearly 130 taels of silver.

This amount of money is a waste of money in today's terms.

"What? Shen Qiu! You say this work is from the Northern Song Dynasty? Are you sure?"

Hearing what Shen Qiu said, Zhao Shibo couldn't help screaming immediately, and his mouth was full of smears, and the housekeeper Miao Jiafu who was sitting next to him was sprayed all over the face.

"Yes... This braised carp is from the Northern Song Dynasty, low-key and low-key!" Shen Qiu gestured to the tissue in front of him: "You can spray on me, even the steward Miao, if you can't help it, wear it first." How about a mask?"

"Uh...well...Shen Qiu..." Zhao Shibo could lower his voice, but couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. It seemed that Shen Qiu said the wrong age, and it hit him in his arms: "Wrong! Haha! Shen Qiu, you are wrong! Even so You can’t even recognize a single dish? You still pretend to be the number one appreciating master in Jiangcheng?”

"Let me tell you what year it is from!"

"Stop! Don't talk about it!" Shen Qiu made a gesture, and had already seen Zhao Shibo's little trick: "Let me tell you for you! Do you want to say that the carp in this dish was from the Northern Song Dynasty, but under it This plate is from the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, not only that! The soup of this braised carp is not original, but added by later generations!"

"So this dish can be said to be from the Northern Song Dynasty, or it can be said to be from the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. You deliberately made a multiple-choice question to wait for me here, just to think that I made a mistake, and then took the opportunity to mock me. I didn't Are you wrong?"

"Ah..." Zhao Shibo's face was bewildered, and he suddenly couldn't say what he had said. Isn't this my line?Why did Shen Qiu finish all my words?So what do I say now?

Shen Qiu let go of the dark red brand on the side of the braised fish tail again: "See that! Looking at this dish, the earliest inscription is the inscription in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the age of the antique is always determined by the inscription of the earliest date. But clearly explain the flaws of this dish, for example, the bottom plate was added later, for example, the soup on top was also added by later generations..."

"You haven't even figured out the age of the antiques, and you still want to use these tricks to lure me into being fooled? I think you should go back and study for a few more years..."

what……
