Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 523 Old Restaurant

Zhou Zhi couldn't help being amused, but Lao Chai was practical and good at self-criticism, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Actually, this is also a direction of picking up leaks, and I guess because of this, blue and white porcelain will become the most charming and story-telling among all ancient porcelain collections. The category will be hyped to an unimaginable price, and the collection direction you have chosen, Uncle Chai, is now an absolute value depression."

"I'll take this plate." Old Chai joked, "The elbow is so eloquent, it's quite suitable for selling things."

"I'm really recommending good things to everyone. I don't mind if you don't want them. Anyway, Mr. Zhang will accept them at his request." Zhou Zhi couldn't laugh or cry: "I just said that Mr. Zhang will set the price, and I will give Zhang Zhang's opinion along the way."

Veteran Zhang flipped through the plate again: "Rinbojia made apocalypse-sized blue-and-white plate with tangled branches and lotus pattern. The green material is stone green, and the technique of double-brush mixed water painting porcelain is used. It is pure and gorgeous, and the shades are naturally connected. Regardless of the shape, The soil, green materials, glazes, techniques, and inscriptions are all in line with the characteristics of Tianqi blue and white porcelain made by officials and civilians."

"There is no accurate reference for the price. If you compare it with the Apocalypse blue and white disk of the year, such as the plate of this quality, Guardian auctioned a pair of glazed red plates in 6. The auction price at that time is almost [-] today. Renminbi."

"But that's a pair, and this is one; but more than ten years have passed, and inflation has to be taken into account. Therefore, after the two-phase profit and loss, I think it is appropriate to use the price of [-] as a reference."

"If you don't want Lao Chai, I'll let the tip go to Gongmei at [-]."

"Yes!" Lao Chai laughed and said, "Forty thousand is forty thousand. I would rather buy this for forty thousand than four hundred for this celestial ball bottle!"

Everyone was overjoyed, and Zhou Zhi couldn't help laughing: "Qianlong Tianqiu bottle, unless you find a leak, you can't buy it for 400 yuan anyway, and the seller is probably guilty of quoting this price, and didn't dare to cheat Uncle Chai for a fortune. Small loss."

The crowd laughed again.

In fact, Lao Chai and the others don't have a good eye for dating, and they can still choose this plate from a pile of Wenwan, mainly because of their aesthetic vision.

The rest is simple, either it is a folk kiln, or it is after Qianlong, the price is not too expensive, the three selected a few according to their own preferences, and the rest were handed over to Gongmei for auction.

"That's how it is." Lao Chai was very happy when he found a few good things today: "Today, please give me a good thing. I will treat you tonight. Teacher Xiao Zhou is an expert, so how about we arrange Rongyuan?"

"What kind of expert am I?" Zhou Zhi hurriedly waved his hand: "I just know the stories of some dishes, and I haven't tasted many of them."

"Master of theory!" Lao Chai laughed and said, "Mr. Rongyuan Xiao Zhou must know about it, right?"

"I know this all too well, the master of Nanguan Cuisine!" Zhou Zhi salivated: "Today Uncle Chai will serve the food, and I will tell the story!"

"The wine is mine, and it's almost ready, let's go!" Lao Fei said.

They also put all their new purchases here, and they came out empty-handed, only to see the girl named Xiao Lin explaining a brocade to Jiang Shuyi and his party.

Only then did Zhou Zhi introduce each other to everyone, except Master Qiao, who is all great beauties, especially Guan Ma's mature charm, which has been taught to all the elders before, and now of course he wants to invite them to go together.

Jiang Shuyi and Guan Tingting each held a small porcelain vase in their hands. The porcelain vase was a small ornamental vase for flower arrangement. The exterior of the ornamental vase was covered with extremely fine bamboo silk. The porcelain and bamboo were almost integrated, and the light brown bamboo skin And the white liner, one soft and one rigid, very distinctive.

"Eh? Your bottle..."

"Sister Xiaolin gave it to us." Guan Tingting brought it to offer the treasure.

Nowadays, people no longer understand how this thing works, so Zhou Zhi had no choice but to tell him patiently, "This thing is for arranging flowers, but you can't put flowers in it, you can only put dried flowers, dead branches, foxtails, etc..."

Guan Tingting frowned: "Why?"

"Because the bamboo thread will absorb if it touches water, it will easily lead to mildew, so this kind of appreciation bottle is also called 'dry appreciation', but it also has an advantage, that is, it is easy to take care of, and it is designed to be placed there, and it will not be broken for years. .”

"This kind of creativity was later developed to the extreme by the Qing Palace Building Office. They used gold, silver, enamel, jade, lacquered wood, coral, and ivory as raw materials, and through various techniques, made them into bonsai, which can be called luxury."

"In island countries, there are also courtyards that use rocks to circle the area, paving fine stones and white sand inside, and using special tools to draw various beautiful lines, replacing water features and rocks to form a courtyard landscape, called 'dry landscape'."

Guan Tingting stuffed the bottle into Zhou Zhi's hand: "Then leave it to brother Zhou Zhi, and give it to me after you finish it!"

Lao Chai watched happily from the side: "The elbow is really able to tell the truth about everything. This idea of ​​'Karishanshui', let's communicate with me later. Why do I think it is useful for holding an exhibition?"

Just wanted to try the new paging number, so Zhou Zhi called Jiang Wu and told himself and Jiang Shuyi that they were going to have dinner in Rongyuan today, and asked him to call Jiang Shuyi when he came to pick up Jiang Shuyi. paging.

Jiang Wu didn't say anything after hearing Zhou Zhi's report on who was there, he just asked him when the car would be returned to his godmother, and then hung up.

This was a wake-up call to Zhou Zhi, so he called his godmother again.

After a while, the phone call came back, and the godmother said that today was just a day off, but Shi Zuzu called her, and Zhou Zhi had to go to the big conference room of the Department of History of Shu University to attend an important meeting tomorrow morning, and Zhou Zhi would pick her up early tomorrow morning .

Zhou Zhi asked if there was any progress on the eight-treasure thangka suitcase and the tattooed male and female baby leather pictures, but the godmother didn't know.

Zhou Zhi had no choice but to tell her to pick her up early, and then hung up the phone.

The current Rongyuan Paradise is located in Luomashi, just opposite to the main store of Chen Mapo Tofu. It is obviously a new store with a two-story layout. The decoration is relatively trendy, and the private rooms are a bit small. , so that Zhou Zhi, who came with a pilgrimage heart, was not very embarrassed.

He has given up hope for the dishes here.

After everyone was seated, Lao Chai said: "I heard that this store has now opened to the United States, which is amazing."

"Really?" Zhou Zhi said while pouring tea for Guan Ma, Jiang Shuyi, and Guan Tingting, "Isn't this place called Hongqi Restaurant before?"

"Huh?" Both Old Chai and Old Fei were taken aback, "You have been here before, Elbow?"

"That's not true, but Hongqi Restaurant also has a history, I happen to know."

Lao Chai handed the recipe to Zhou Zhi: "Then order something for little brother Zhou today, and tell us about the old sayings in the capital of Shu!"

Zhou Zhi opened the menu, he had no hope before, but now he has returned.

The recipes include "Braised Bear's Paw", "Scallion Roasted Deer Tendon", "Steamed Pigeon Egg Jelly", "Dry Roasted Shark's Fin", "Spicy and Sour Sea Cucumber", "Duck with Cordyceps", "Eel Bamboo Shoot Noodle", etc. Important Sichuan dishes.

"Brother, just order," Lao Chai saw that Zhou Zhi was hesitant, thinking that he was reluctant to spend money, so he said, "Don't try to save me money."

"I'm not trying to save money, but the names of these dishes are all particular..."
