Chapter 50 Don't Dislike Men

Mr. Qin has always wanted to collect an authentic copy of Bada Shanren, but now he hears that Li Mo actually has a copy, so why would he want to return to the capital.

"You are the host, you look at the arrangement, just don't make it too extravagant and wasteful."

Li Mo didn't take them to the hotel, but contacted the three people on his mobile phone, and asked them to prepare the dishes and send them directly to Yu Linglong.

"Young Master Li, it's rare for Mr. Qin to come here. You are too stingy." Niu Sanpang felt a little guilty. If he treats guests, it must be the highest-level restaurant with an elegant environment and master-level dishes.

Even if it's not the most upscale restaurant, you can choose a hotel with a good environment, or you can just order takeaway.

"So you live a delicate life, and I live a rough life." Li Mo smiled and continued, "Mr. Qin has never eaten anything, and he still cares about abalone and shark's fin. If you want to eat, eat something different Besides, Si Rui is a public figure, and it is too easy to be recognized in a crowded place, let alone having a meal in peace, even getting away will be troublesome."

"Third Fatty, you are the one who talks too much." Qin Sirui said coldly, Niu Sanpang immediately shut up and retracted his head, but he was very strange in his heart, this iceberg beauty was actually speaking for Li Mo, it was a strange thing in the world.

Mr. Qin didn't speak, but there was something unclear in his eyes.

Besides the four of them, the old man was accompanied by two bodyguards. A group of six people and three cars drove towards Yu Linglong.

About an hour later, three cars drove into the Linjiang luxury residential area.

"This lot faces the Huangpu River, and the Bund is just a few steps away, and there are buildings from all nations nearby. The house price is not cheap."

"It's just a place to live anyway."

When they entered the house, they realized that there was something else inside, a room full of Hainan rosewood furniture in the new Chinese style, with a touch of classical charm in simplicity.The huge floor-to-ceiling windows are covered with white curtains, and the sunlight shines in. The whole living and dining room looks spacious and bright.

"Good boy, you have good taste."

"It just so happens that this house is for sale. The taste is far from your old courtyard house."

"My courtyard house is better than quietness, and your mansion is better than beautiful scenery. Jumping high and looking far away, you feel relaxed and happy."

"Sit down first, I'll go down to pick you up, the food is here."

"Grandpa, let me make some tea for you." Qin Sirui walked to the tea table by the window, and began to skillfully boil water, fetch tea, and warm the cup.

Old Master Qin was stunned for a moment before asking incredulously: "Si Rui, are you familiar with this?"

Qin Sirui replied flatly without raising his head: "I've lived here for several days, and it's convenient to be close to the crew."

Niu Sanpang squeezed his fleshy hand, it hurt, it seemed that he heard it right.Miss Qin and Young Master Li are living together, which is really exciting news.

The upper circles in Kyoto are secretly saying that Miss Qin is indifferent to men and refuses men thousands of miles away. Is it true that she has no interest in men?
Now it seems that is not the case at all.

"Li Mo is a nice guy."

There was a little more smile on Mr. Qin's face. It seemed that his granddaughter didn't dislike men. Maybe it was just that the men he met before were not good enough.

"Grandpa, don't think too much. I live in this house alone, and Li Mo lives in his old house."

"Grandpa didn't think too much, it was you who thought too much."

Old man Qin sat on the sofa and hummed a northern tune leisurely.

After a while, Li Mo led the three of them in, and the table was quickly filled with various dishes, and the aroma wafted immediately.

"Everyone, take your seats."

"Hey, the color and fragrance are complete, and the standard of a five-star hotel is just like this."

Niu Sanpang looked around, thinking that Li Mo was still careful in his work.

"Young Master Li, is this porcelain bowl filled with water?"

Everyone sitting around looked over, and the big white ceramic bowl was indeed filled with water, nothing else.

"There is a famous dish in the state banquet called 'boiled cabbage'. The essence is not in the dish but in the boiled water. It is not ordinary boiled water, but a soup made with various ingredients in proportion, and then filtered layer by layer. until the soup becomes clear, and finally boil it and pour it over the cabbage."

"Did you order the boiled water for the state banquet?"

"There are similarities in the same direction but the same effect. This clear soup is called 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea'. It has eight kinds of ingredients, some flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water. It is boiled on a low fire for more than eight hours, and then filtered continuously. Drink it to make it more delicious. Your taste buds are completely opened, the fragrance is incomparable, and the aftertaste is endless."

Li Mo gave everyone a small bowl.

"I ordered eighteen dishes. This bowl of water is the most expensive. Everyone should try it."

Everyone tasted it, and their faces were full of intoxication, without any greasy taste, and there was a kind of aroma in their mouths after taking a sip.

"Delicious."

Mr. Qin couldn't help but praise.

"Of course, everyone eats it. Sirui, you don't like meat, so I specially ordered a bird's nest for you. These vegetables are all organic, healthy and nutritious."

"Thank you!"

"Mr. Qin, these are stewed vegetables prepared by the court, the recipe that the Qing court emperor ate. Sanpang, two elder brothers, try them all, and you will be home when you arrive here."

Mr. Qin said in surprise after eating a few pieces, "Where did you find these delicacies?"

Li Mo put down his chopsticks and said: "I like to eat by nature, not to brag to you, I have tasted all the famous food in Shanghai. I have been studying antiques and miscellaneous things with my master for more than ten years, and he has brought me to see many places , Every time I go to a place, I must first look for delicious food. Let’s put it this way, if I open a restaurant, it doesn’t need to be so high-end, and any dish in my mind can be a famous dish.”

"Believe it or not, I suggested to the boss to improve two of the ingredients in this 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea' soup to get the current taste. Their store is not big, but there are many chains. The business is booming every day, and it's easy every year. Thousands of profits."

"Young Master Li, how about we open a restaurant together?"

Niu Sanpang saw a huge business opportunity.

"Catering is the most tiring, and I don't have to rest 365 days a year. I'm not interested."

Just kidding, I know how to eat, so why bother to open a restaurant by myself.

"Young Master Li, we are in partnership, you just need to participate in the shares, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

"Li Mo, if you do it, I will join in."

Qin Sirui also moved his mind, after all, the catering is very profitable.

"I'll talk about it later, let's eat first."

Li Mo didn't refuse, if you want to do it, do it the best, at least be well-known in the catering industry.

Had a great meal.

"Little friend, my stomach is also full, should I take out the painting of Bada Shanren that you have collected to appreciate it?"

"Okay, I'll go get the painting."

Li Mo moved out the rosewood box from the secret room, and several people gathered around the coffee table in the living room.

What Li Mo took out first was Niu Shihui's five screens [Picture of Bamboo, Stone and Solitary Bird].

"Old man, take a look first."

Elder Qin unfolded it carefully, and his gaze was immediately attracted: "Rolling his eyes, he is proud. Niu Shihui's painting style is almost the same as his brother's. These five paintings can be collected individually or in five screens, the latter is more valuable."

"Grandpa Qin, what is the price of these five-screen paintings?" Niu Sanpang was concerned about this.

"The reference price for a single painting is around 2500 million. If five screens are auctioned together, the average price may exceed 3000 million per painting."

"Old man, you have to look carefully at this painting."

What Li Mo handed to Mr. Qin was a copy of Zhang Daqian.

Old Master Qin let go and looked, his breathing became heavy.

"This is the handwriting of Bada Shanren, my little friend, I want this [Lotus Mandarin Duck]."

"Grandpa Qin, let me take a look at it too." Niu Sanpang felt itchy in his heart. They are all good things, and they can be regarded as the finale treasures in the auction.

"Stand aside, I have collected this painting."

"Don't worry, old man, there is another painting here."

"Li Shao, let me open this painting."

Niu Sanpang took the initiative to do it for him. When the picture spread out, he was a little dumbfounded. He looked at the painting in his hand, and then turned his head to look at the painting in Old Qin's hand.

"Another Bada Shanren [Bamboo and Stone Mandarin Duck], Li Shao, which one is the authentic Bada Shanren?"
