Chapter 1127 Let you show off your stink

"What's going on? Do you have to show up in person?"

After hearing the old butler's hurried words on the phone without explaining the reason, the Duke knew that something must have gone extremely wrong.

So he immediately got out of the car he had been staying in, trying to figure out what happened.

The old butler did not dare to waste time and immediately handed the phone to the Duke. His urgent words also caused the Duke's adrenaline to secrete rapidly.

"My lord, this time our loss is too great, it has been confirmed that what they took out of the box are indeed paintings, and all of them are works of famous European masters.

Not only that, everything hidden inside is the best of the best, and there are even many works by famous artists that you have not even collected.

The most important thing is that this number seems to be quite a lot. Look at the photos he sent me, there are more than a dozen in them, each one is a painting by a different famous artist, and all of them are undoubtedly high-quality.

Seeing his casual appearance, maybe this is only part of it. He definitely still has a large number of paintings in his hand, which is simply unimaginable! "

The old housekeeper burst into tears as he spoke. He felt so guilty in his heart. Although he was not the cause of all this, he was one of the driving forces behind it. Seeing so many precious paintings, his heart almost broke!

Duke Dalton's mood was not much better. He quickly glanced at the exquisite paintings in his eyes, and bloodshot eyes appeared.

The whole person is like a sleeping bull, about to explode, and the accumulated anger will definitely overthrow those who stand in front of him.

How could such a stupid thing be done by oneself?

Thinking of the time when I "forcibly stuffed" this box into Chu Yunfeng that day, and seeing the devastated expression on Chu Yunfeng's face, I felt very ashamed of the high-spirited pleasure I felt.

No matter how I think about it, I feel that I am even more stupid than stupid people, and even stupid people are not as stupid as me!
I have a very clear judgment on the value of these paintings. Each one is worth at least hundreds of millions of euros, and some even start at one billion euros.

But these are not the most important, the key is that these paintings should be your own?

Da Vinci?
Raphael?
Michelangelo?
These masters that I have always admired and respected have very few works in my collection, and on this mobile phone, I can see them all.

Every painting is the best among the best. Even if it is regarded as the treasure of the museum, no one can refute it, and these things are actually delivered to others by myself.

And now I still don’t know how to “get” them back?
calm down!

Dalton kept reminding himself in his mind that he must not get excited at this time, otherwise he might fall into the trap set by Chu Yunfeng again.

I have already been arrogant two or three times, and each time I suffered a big loss at the hands of Chu Yunfeng, so thinking of this, the Duke's breathing gradually calmed down.

"What did the other person say? What did he think?"

After calming down, the Duke wanted to know how Chu Yunfeng wanted to deal with these things. After all, he knew from the fact that he didn't make the video public that he was trying to show his favor to him.

Then the question comes, and it can also be explained from the side that his plan is very big.

The old housekeeper hesitated for a moment, but immediately spoke in full: "Two requirements, one is to exchange for Chinese antiques, and the other is to visit your treasure house!"

As soon as the two requests were made, it was obvious that the Duke's face turned red instantly, and he was obviously angry.

"He has a beautiful idea and wants to exchange just a few paintings with me. Why does he have it?"

In the lobby of the hotel, the Duke couldn't restrain his anger and roared angrily. This made the guests passing by to look sideways, wondering why this foreigner was so crazy here.

He looks like a man dressed like a dog, and looks like a gentleman, but unfortunately there is no so-called gentlemanly demeanor.

The old housekeeper obviously noticed the disdainful looks from passers-by and felt a little depressed. However, he was relieved when he saw that no one was taking pictures.

After all, he and the Duke were surrounded by five bodyguards, and no one would casually come over to criticize them.

"Sir, please be careful, this is a public place!"

Even though he knew that the Duke's anger could not be eliminated, the old butler still reminded him, which made the Duke close his eyes and instantly feel physically and mentally exhausted!
This is not his own manor and castle. He can get angry if he wants to, so the Duke gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Let's go in and meet him!"

Facing the incomprehensible facts, Duke Dalton felt very powerless, and he also felt very incomprehensible. Why did he always fail to gain the upper hand when facing Chu Yunfeng?

Especially this time in the negotiations with the foreign affairs department, the previously invincible means failed this time, and the other party's tone was extremely tough.

Is China already so powerful now?
Have you always underestimated this ancient and mysterious land?
When the Duke walked into the private room, he saw Chu Yunfeng and the others sitting at the round table, and he actually had a menu in his hand, as if he was ordering.

By the way, he must be ordering food. Didn't he see the man in chef's uniform behind him, picking up paper and pen and recording something?
and many more!

Shouldn't ordering be the responsibility of the waiter?When did it become the chef's turn to do this kind of work?
Is this unique to China?

For the Duke who came to China for the first time, his heart was full of curiosity, but before he could figure it out, Chu Yunfeng stood up and stretched out his hand to greet him.

"Welcome, welcome, Your Excellency the Duke has come from afar, you must have a good taste of our Huaxia delicacies, many of the dishes made in this shop are the imperial dishes in the former imperial palace.

So you must have a good taste, come on, come on, sit down, sit down, let’s eat first, and then talk after eating, how about it? "

Chu Yunfeng smiled and pulled the Duke towards the table, while Mu Qing quickly translated.

The Duke was confused. He was here to negotiate, so why did he seem to be here for a meal?
There seems to be something wrong with this style of painting, right?
The old butler was also at a loss. Why did Chu Yunfeng suddenly seem like a different person? He teased him many times before, but now he is so enthusiastic like a family?
At this time, Teacher Jin, who was sitting in the main seat, also stood up and gave up his position, which made the Duke a little moved.

Regarding Huaxia's etiquette, he still made up for it before coming here. Regarding Teacher Jin's approach, he felt an inexplicable comfort in his heart, so he half pushed and sat down.

Seeing that the Duke had sat down, the old housekeeper sighed inwardly, and sat down beside the Duke.

Next, the old butler also motioned to his assistants. Doblin and Jason also sat down, and Chu Yunfeng and the others also took their seats. The table was just full of 12 people.

"Your Excellency, do you have any favorite Chinese dishes? How do you tolerate spicy food?"

Chu Yunfeng didn't expect Duke Dalton to sit down so easily, and he also appeared to be very interested in eating, which was a bit unexpected.

But since you have decided to eat, let’s eat well. It’s already 07:30 in the evening and everyone is already hungry. What else is more important than eating?

As soon as Mu Qing's translation came over, the Duke's head immediately shook violently: "It's too spicy, let's try some of the signature dishes here.

By the way, I admire Mr. Chu's cooking skills, but I have only tasted one of your dishes so far. Didn't you say before that when I came to China, you would cook a good meal for me? "

Seeing Duke Dalton climbing up the pole like this, Chu Yunfeng knew that he didn't care about taking advantage, so he nodded and said: "That's right, I did promise.

However, if I want to make a table of dishes, I need to make a reservation in advance. I also said at the time that the meal can only be done when the Duke arrives in Chengdu.

Since the Duke wants to taste the dishes I cook, just wait a moment. Chef Peng Yue and I will go to the back kitchen together and we will cook the dishes ourselves tonight.

He will make the palace dishes, and I will make the Sichuan dishes. I believe the Duke will be satisfied! "

After saying that, Chu Yunfeng stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen with Peng Yue, but the Duke immediately said: "Thank you very much. By the way, get me a glass pot and a pot of hot water. "

Huh~?

As soon as he heard Duke Dalton's needs, Chu Yunfeng knew that he wanted to show off and at the same time embarrass himself a little.

If you want these two things, you obviously need to soak the century-old tangerine peel, and Chu Yunfeng can be sure that after the tea is brewed, he will only give it to his own people.

If you want to give me eye drops, you are still far away!

Chu Yunfeng smiled secretly in his heart, and then told Peng Yue to arrange for two tea sets to come over, but there was a time difference.

Then he said something in Ma Fu's ear, which made Ma Fu look depressed. However, Chu Yunfeng said something again, which made his eyes light up and he nodded quickly in agreement.

So before leaving, Chu Yunfeng quietly handed the small bag in his coat pocket to Mu Qing's hand.
When he saw Chu Yunfeng and Peng Yue disappearing from the door, a happy smile appeared on the Duke's face, and when the teapot and boiling water were delivered, the smile became even brighter.

Seeing that the waiter only brought a tea set, the Duke proudly stretched out his hand, and the old butler immediately took out a small box from his bag.

The three teachers didn't know what was inside, but how could Ma Fu and Mu Qing not know what was inside?

Sure enough, when the box was opened, I immediately saw something like a black lacquer leaf lying quietly inside. Isn't it a century-old tangerine peel?
I saw His Excellency broke off the thumb cover a little bit, then threw it directly into the glass teapot, and then poured water directly into it with a boiling kettle.

In an instant, the entire glass teapot was covered in brilliant gold. Such a strange change made everyone except Ma Fu and Mu Qing feel a little unbelievable!

The three teachers in particular remembered the exchange process that Chu Yunfeng had mentioned before, and then they realized that this should be the so-called century-old Guangdong Chenpi.

I didn't expect it to be so "beautiful", and the golden touch is so rich, it is indeed a rare good thing!
When Ma Fu saw the pot of tea, he actually showed a look of longing, which made the Duke, who had been observing the other party's movements, very happy.

Judging from the previous contact with Chu Yunfeng, he must not have much tangerine peel in his hand, and judging from the fact that he used century-old tangerine peel to make tangerine peel beef in London, and exchanged Xuande stove with himself, the amount in his hand must be used. It's over.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have fought hard at the time, especially when Ma Fu made a mistake and added two or three grams of weight, which made Chu Yunfeng's regretful expression absolutely impossible to deceive anyone.

So being able to see their envious looks can also make me feel better. Although I know that I will definitely be in a very bad mood after eating, there is nothing less that should be maintained.

After the color of the tea soup came out, the Duke immediately poured a cup into his own cup, and then ordered the old butler to give each of the remaining four people on his side a cup.

When the old butler was pouring tea, the Duke did not forget to say: "I'm really sorry, this pot of tea is only enough for us to drink. It seems that we can't share it with you!"

After the five cups are filled, there is indeed not much left. Even so, Ma Fu and Mu Qing know that this thing can be brewed repeatedly.

But Duke Dalton’s intention is obviously to wink at everyone. He sounds sorry, but everyone who understands understands that it is just a show-off and a stinker!

The three teachers obviously felt the taste of being aloof, but they didn't bother to argue with him, it was just a pot of tea, and they still couldn't bear to get angry with him.

However, the fragrance of the tea is indeed very strong, and it can also arouse a touch of desire in people's hearts. It is indeed very loud to taste it!

depressed!

Moreover, the old housekeeper also introduced the efficacy of this thing and its market price in a timely manner.

This immediately made his assistant and two appraisal experts exclaim. They roughly estimated that his glass of water might be worth 4000 euros, and a sip of it would be several hundred euros!

The taste of money is indeed very unusual. Although the tea is a bit hot, you can still have a sip after blowing on it.

After tasting the unique taste, people immediately feel refreshed, and seem to have a little more desire to eat.

Seeing the embarrassed look on the face of the person opposite, the Duke suddenly felt so happy in his heart, not to mention how proud he was.

The old butler also felt a little refreshed, as if the unhappiness in his heart just now had dissipated a lot, it was still the Duke who was very powerful, he could suppress the audience with a little trick.

However, just after the Duke and the others drank half of the glass, Mu Qing nodded to the waiter and saw her turn around and leave. When she came back less than a minute later, the Duke's smile immediately became dull. .

Because there was a glass teapot larger than her own on the tray in the waiter's hand, when she walked straight over and put it in front of Mu Qing, she saw Mu Qing take out a cloth bag, and then also took out a piece of black paint. Paint stuff.

He directly broke off two fingernails and threw it into the glass teapot. Ma Fu immediately poured the boiling water down.

As soon as the three teachers saw it, they couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Chu Yunfeng was wilting. This was definitely intentional.

However, the more ruthless thing was yet to come. After the duke drank a cup of tea in embarrassment, the tea they continued to brew could not be drunk because of stomach problems.

I'm already very hungry after not eating at this late hour. If I drink a cup of [-]-year-old tangerine peel water, will I be even hungrier?
So his stomach began to growl, and after Mu Qing and the others had only drank half a cup, Ma Fu actually took out a box from his handbag.

The first time the Duke and the old housekeeper saw the box, their eyes immediately turned green, and their faces also looked frightened.

Because everything in this box is golden, you can tell at a glance that it is the tangerine peel beef that you have eaten, and it is made from Guangdong tangerine peel that has been around for hundreds of years.

As soon as the box was opened, the aroma instantly filled the entire private room. Then Ma Fu distributed it to the three teachers and Mu Qing, and then said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, this box of beef is only enough for us. It seems I can’t share it with you!”

His Majesty the Duke: "."
