Riding the wind of rebirth

Zhou Zhi nodded: "Exactly, because in ancient times there were many taboos about trading cultural relics, so when we made Yanzi'er, we also found many alternative names to replace the original names. The purpose was to prevent outsiders from seeing through it when talking."

"For example, everyone knows Uncle Cao Guo just mentioned, so he is often replaced by his real name Cao Jingxiu by insiders, so that fewer people know about him."

"You can even go a step further and just say court boots, official hat, and tooth plate, which can also refer to him. This set of expressions has another name, called the 'Eight Dark Immortals'."

"The Twelve Flower Gods will set a rough price after negotiating the price. For example, if the plate is worth one hundred thousand, then it is January, and the flower of January is orchid, then when bidding, you can say 'Words of the same heart' , It smells like orchid."

"If it's three hundred thousand, you can say 'the peach blossoms shine brightly'."

"This is really confusing." Dad Lu was completely confused: "This is not talking about business, this is clearly a test of knowledge."

"It's not a good job if you don't have any knowledge." Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "This is actually a kind of mutual testing, right? The one who knows more will definitely have more advantages."

"Actually, it doesn't have to be so exaggerated. The level of people in the world is also uneven, so they may not remember so much. Moreover, it is easy for people to infer the transaction price by directly mentioning the name of the flower. Therefore, a more common method is to use each flower's name to infer the transaction price. The male or female flower goddess of the month is represented.”

"I just said that January is full of orchids, so Lin and Jingmei's wife Hezi will only be like plum blossoms in February."

"Yes, the flower in February is plum blossom, and the male flower god is Lin Hejing." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "But if you are talking about the female flower god, plum blossoms are ranked in January, and the flower god is Mei Fei; February becomes After becoming Xinghua’s position, the Flower God has also become Xie Daoyun, a talent in singing xu. These are two ranking rules.”

"Why do you have to do this? This is too complicated."

"There is also a level of testing in doing this, and the ambiguity is meant to confuse the audience." Zhou Zhi smiled: "After all, even if we are all insiders, there is a difference between an apprentice and a master."

"For example, the flower god of osmanthus is Hong Shi in September in the system of male gods, but Zhang Lihua in August in the system of goddesses. If you repeat Su Dongpo's poem about osmanthus, 'The moon lacks frost and the thick pistils are dry,' this flower originally belongs to Yutangxian', Su Dongpo is also the god of flowers, but he represents the month of May."

"If the guaranteed goods negotiated before were 10,000 yuan, then this poem can now represent 50,000 yuan, 80,000 yuan, and 90,000 yuan respectively. The price difference has nearly doubled. As for the real intention of calling home, we can only You can judge based on your own abilities.”

"Then I don't care, I'll take the lowest price!" Lu Qiao said.

"That would be timid." Although Zhang Cheng didn't understand the specific details of the inner sect, he still had a deep understanding of this industry: "Those who can work in the inner sect will not have a large circle, and they will be professional. It’s life-long, and reputation is far more important than one or two business deals.”

"Once your reputation is ruined, no one will care about you anymore. Change your career to collect rags."

"It's like this." Dad Lu is also a seasoned businessman and understands this key point: "Don't let your reputation in the industry get bad."

"Then how much did this plate cost?" Mother Lu was even more curious about this.

Zhou Zhi smiled but did not answer: "This is a rule in the industry. I can't reveal the details, otherwise the 'price on the sleeve' just now will be meaningless." Seeing Lu's mother and father Lu's itchy and distressed look, he reminded again: "But Qiaoqiao is smart, if she guesses it, it’s not a bad rule.”

Lu Qiao thought for a moment: "I just said that Cao Guojiu's magnitude is one hundred thousand, and then blind man Li Er said Ouyang Xiu's elbow was too high, and elbow said Lin Hejing, and blind man Li Er said it was low, and finally it fell on Pi Rixiu. :"

"Lin Hejing represents February, and Pi Rixiu..." Lu Qiao rolled his eyes: "Elder, I want to ask a question from the Chinese Department, why did Pi Rixiu become the God of Flowers?"

Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "This question can be answered. Pi Rixiu has a famous "Ode to Peach Blossoms", which praises peach blossoms. "Yi Qi's work "Spring" has the beauty of beauty, the beauty of China, and the trees can't stand it, blending into peach blossoms. 'The sentence is compared to the goddess, Han E, Fei Yan, Wen Ji and many other ancient beauties."

"That article was very interesting. The main point was that although peach blossoms are both beautiful and practical, they cannot be taken seriously just because they are too numerous. And many flashy things have gained precious status just because they are rare."

"This is a criticism of the country for not reusing the majority of talented and useful 'disciples' and 'disciples', but only selecting those disciples from aristocratic families who are small in number but useless based on their family status. A very interesting article. "

Lu Qiao clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Then I've guessed the answer. Pi Rixiu is the flower god of peach blossoms in March, which represents the number three. The value of that plate is more than 300,000 and less than 400,000."

"Oh my god..." Mother Lu felt dizzy after hearing this: "We have been so busy all year long..."

"Ahem, cough, cough..." Dad Lu coughed quickly and stopped: "Come, come, drink, drink, I have learned a lot again today."

He does know part of Zhou Zhi's background. At least he has an aunt and sister-in-law to support him. The scale of the business of Saturday's Food Company is so large that they advertise on CCTV. This year's package advertising cost tens of millions, three hundred thousand a year. This plate may really not be taken seriously by others.

After everyone had another drink, Lu's father asked Lu Qiao another thing that concerned him: "Daughter, how come you don't know about the article that I know about? Aren't you in the same class? Why, you are doing your homework for fun? ?”

Lu Qiao was so aggrieved and shouted: "How can you compare me with him! He started classes at school last semester and even asked questions. He will graduate from undergraduate this semester and start graduate school next year!"

"The books he memorizes are not even included in our courses! Who knows where he memorized them! Can you please be more reasonable!"

Parents Lu couldn't help but hesitate. Their daughter was considered a Wenqu star within a hundred miles, but compared with others, she seemed to be nothing: "You weren't a freshman last semester? Does the school allow freshman students to give lectures?"

"Substitute class, substitute class." Zhou Zhi hurriedly smiled and said, "The course was taught by our school's old scholar Gu Youwen, but Mr. Gu is old and can no longer undertake high-intensity teaching activities, so Mr. Gu will teach me first, and then I will teach the students."

"Don't come here. Gu Laolai listened to one of your lectures and said that you were better than him. The two of you even argued about the origin of the word "xia" for half the class. I was there that time!" Lu Qiao immediately said expose.

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel a little resentful: "Did he come to attend the class that time? He was obviously kicking the gym!" (End of Chapter)
