Simultaneous time travel starts from the flower age

Chapter 11: The Best Sanhe Liu! Finding Bargains at Panjiayuan

Yin Nanfeng, Zhang Fan, Commander Cai and Stamp Li walked into the gate of the Crescent Hotel. The waiter at the door immediately came up to them; "Hello, Boss!".

Yin Nanfeng nodded to Sheng Shengman, who immediately understood; "Arrange a few rooms, and then arrange a private room on the second floor, and arrange for the kitchen to prepare a table of Beijing's specialties. The boss wants to entertain several friends from Shanghai." Finally, he added, "Oh, there is also Boss Jin from Guxuanzhai. This bill will be put on Boss Jin's account."

Big Gold Teeth also smiled and said nothing.

"Mr. Zhang, please go to the private room and rest first. We will come to treat you later." Yin Nanfeng looked at Zhang Fan, then at Commander Cai and Stamp Li, "If Mr. Zhang doesn't mind, why don't you stay at my Crescent Hotel tonight? I wonder if my hotel can compare with the big hotels in Shanghai."

The Crescent Hotel also provides accommodation services. The 5- or 6-story antique building has accommodations for guests from the 3rd floor up. Staying at the Crescent Hotel is exactly what Zhang Fan wants.

"We just happened to have booked a place to stay tonight, so we'll have to trouble you, Miss Yin." Zhang Fan nodded to thank Yin Nanfeng, and secretly calculated that if he looked closely, Yin Nanfeng should be in her early 20s, and the timeline of The Grave Robbers' Chronicles should be similar to the original novel.

The waiter quickly replied: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Mr. Jin and other gentlemen, please come this way."

After that, Zhang Fan, Da Jin Ya and others were led by the waiter into the private room on the second floor.

The waiter led them into the private room and left to arrange their meals.

Stamp Li looked around all the way and finally couldn't help himself: "Wow, this hotel in the capital is really grand. Look at the screens, the paintings, and the wood of the tables. They are not bad compared to our big hotels in Shanghai. Commander Cai, don't you think that all the paintings hanging along the way are real? We can have a meal in such a stylish place. I just don't know how the food compares to the one on the Yellow River Road."

"I don't know how the room upstairs compares to the Peace Hotel where Mr. Zhang lives. I've learned a lot today!" Stamp Li was quite excited.

Commander Cai ignored him and stared at the painting on the wall, studying it carefully. The painting was signed by Zheng Banqiao.

Da Jin Ya joined in the fun, "Yes, yes, Da Jin Ya, I have never been to Shanghai, and I don't know what Yellow River Road is, but this Crescent Hotel is quite interesting."

After saying this, Da Jin Ya found a seat to sit down, picked up the teapot and poured tea for everyone.

"Tell me about it," said Stamp Li, who was particularly interested. He could go to Xiao Lehui to brag about it when he returned.

"Don't be anxious, everyone, have some tea." Big Gold Tooth brought the tea to everyone. "This Crescent Hotel is the best place in Peking. Many dignitaries like to come here to eat, and there are also many strange people coming and going. You just came at the wrong time, otherwise you would have gained a lot of knowledge."

Commander Cai also sat down and drank some tea. Although he tasted that the tea was extraordinary, he did not believe that a hotel could be so arrogant as to hang an authentic work of Zheng Banqiao. "Mr. Zhang stayed at the Peace Hotel in Shanghai, you know, it costs 80 US dollars a day. We all ate on the Yellow River Road in Shanghai. All the rich and powerful people came and went on the Yellow River Road. You know, No. 27, the Foreign Trade Company, they all ate there, you know."

"That's right, that's right," Stamp Li replied.

Big Gold Tooth ignored him and just smiled mysteriously and said, "From this moment you enter the restaurant, the paintings and old objects you see are all real. Think about it, there are only a few in this world..."

Commander Cai felt that this man with the big gold tooth was just trying to save face. Although he couldn't tell whether it was real or fake, he didn't believe that the painting hanging on the wall was an authentic work of Zheng Banqiao. He didn't believe it. There was no way he could do that.

Da Jin Ya didn't finish his words as Sheng Shengman pushed the door open and walked in, followed by Yin Nanfeng.

"Oh, Miss Yin is here. This place is so beautiful," said Li Stamp, looking at Yin Nanfeng who came in. "I sat here for a while and felt that I was influenced by the culture and I felt that I had reached a higher level."

"Yes, this brother with the big gold teeth just now told General Ala that the paintings and ornaments here are all real antiques," said Commander Cai.

"Gentlemen, you are joking," Yin Nanfeng did not respond, "Ladies and gentlemen, here are the keys to the upstairs room, please keep them."

He just said slowly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. He actually dared to suspect that there would be fake goods in the Crescent Hotel. He was really a country bumpkin from another place.

Zhang Fan knew what Da Jin Ya meant. The Crescent Hotel, dignitaries, and strange people, let alone the former, the latter must be the group of local scholars, no, there should be two groups. This broadened his horizons, which must be the antique business, auctions, and sky lanterns, but he probably couldn't get into the venue by himself.

"Thank you, Miss Yin," Zhang Fan asked Stamp Li to take the key, "Ms. Yin, are you interested in that gourd?"

After Zhang Fan finished speaking, he took out the bright purple gourd from his pocket. He had taken it from Stamp Li in the car before. When he got it, he felt the internal energy circulating as if something was extracted from it. Although the mirror was not broken, he clearly felt that his first-grade realm was enriched a bit. But it was only for that moment, and it was of no use anymore.

This gourd should be an old object. Zhang Fan is not sure whether he can absorb energy from these ancient objects to cultivate true Qi. If he can, then the space he can operate in will be even larger. Maybe he can even replenish the world of comprehensive martial arts. Otherwise, it will take a lot of time for the three brothers to practice on their own. He hopes that this ancient object is his Feng Ling Yue Ying.

"Please forgive me for making fun of you, Mr. Zhang. I am just excited to see something and want to buy something for the elderly at home to play with." Yin Nanfeng said.

Zhang Fan's mouth twitched when he heard this. Could this old man be Adjutant Zhang - Zhang Rishan? "If Miss Yin likes it, just name a price and take it." He didn't hesitate. None of them understood the antique market. He just kept a favor out of kindness.

"I'm not taking advantage of Mr. Zhang. Boss Jin thinks this is a treasure, so why not let Boss Jin take a look at it," said Yin Nanfeng.

"No, no, this guy wanted to snatch the gourd from us before, and he deliberately lied about what if he ran away with it." This is Stamp Li. He also saw that Mr. Zhang's original target was the gourd. Commander Cai's behavior must have been guessed. Commander Cai did not remind him. Moreover, this Big Gold Tooth lost the copper coins they bought the gourd with, and he would not compensate them with new ones until tomorrow.

"It's okay, it's okay. Boss Jin has such a big shop and he must be a good man to be able to do such a big business," Zhang Fan said. Li didn't think about it anymore and just moved towards the direction of Big Gold Teeth.

Big Gold Teeth stared at the gourd in Zhang Fan's hand with his eyes wide open. He ignored Stamp Li's little movements. He stroked the gourd with his hand and muttered, "This is a good thing. Look at the color, the patina, and the workmanship. Boss Yin, please borrow two things from your house to try."

"Tung oil and gauze!" Big Gold Teeth's voice was a little sharp. He really liked these things.

"Take your time, go get it for Boss Jin." The Crescent Hotel also has supplies. People come and go to receive and sell goods, and people check them themselves. There is no shortage of this kind of items.

After a while, Shengshengman brought the things and handed them to Boss Jin.

When Li saw the stamp, he said, "Be careful not to damage it. This is Mr. Zhang's thing. You will have to pay for it if you damage it."

"Man, don't disturb me. My craftsmanship is well-known in Daqianmen." Da Jin Ya took a piece of gauze dipped in some tung oil and started to wipe the gourd.

"Please be gentle, please be gentle. It makes me sad to see you like this. You have to compensate me for it. The paint has been rubbed off," said Stamp Li. I saw Big Gold Tooth wiping the bright purple gourd, revealing its red body. He stopped and took out a magnifying glass to examine the gourd's core and reeds.

After Yin Nanfeng and Sheng Shengman looked at the corner of red that had been revealed, they were basically certain that this was Sanhe Liu, and a top-notch Sanhe Liu at that. The Crescent Hotel was engaged in the business of antiques, so he must have the eyesight and ability to identify.

Yin Nanfeng was planning on spending 20 yuan to buy a cricket pot for the old man and then asking someone to go to the South Gate to pick out a 'General' to make the old man happy. Sheng Shengman just thought that these people were really lucky.

Da Jin Ya put down the magnifying glass and looked at the gourd in his hand with his eyes wide open. He stroked the gourd with his hand and muttered: "This is a good thing. Look at the color, the patina, the workmanship, the core and the reed. It is definitely authentic Sanhe Liu."

"Come here and touch it, let you take a look. Commander Cai, come and see it too, it's a treasure." Stamp Li took the gourd and pondered it with Commander Cai.

"Boss Jin, please set a price for this gourd," said Boss Yin.

After hearing what Yin Nanfeng said, Da Jin Ya couldn't help feeling a little regretful. He regretted not making up his mind earlier, otherwise he would have definitely bought it.

After hearing what Yin Nanfeng said, Da Jin Ya was unhappy and said, "Three hundred thousand, Miss Yin, the average Sanhe Liu is only 15 or 20, but this is different. This is a top-grade Sanhe Liu. If it is put up for auction, it may increase by tens of thousands."

"30!" When Stamp Li heard the price, his hands trembled and he hurriedly handed the gourd to Commander Cai. Such a small thing could be worth 30. Mr. Zhang is so amazing. You have such a little heart.

Commander Cai was the same, but he still had to maintain his old man's demeanor. He leisurely handed the gourd to Zhang Fan without blinking. Big Gold Teeth was also staring at the gourd with annoyance.

Yin Nanfeng was a little hesitant after hearing this. Although it was an extra hundred thousand, it was worth it to raise a cricket and bother Old Zhang. Besides, he also believed in the reputation of the Jin family, Da Jin Ya: "Three hundred thousand, what do you think of this price, Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Fan had also made up his mind early on. He looked at Yin Nanfeng, then at Da Jin Ya, and said, "Okay, since Miss Yin likes this gourd so much, I will sell it to Miss Yin. Congratulations, Miss Yin."

Yin Nanfeng couldn't help but laugh when she heard Zhang Fan's words, but she should also congratulate her and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhang for making 30 in just one afternoon."

After that, Yin Nanfeng motioned for Sheng Shengman to take out a checkbook, quickly filled in the numbers, tore it off, handed it to Zhang Fan, and said, "This is a check for three hundred thousand. Keep it."

Zhang Fan took the check, looked at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he placed the gourd in front of Yin Nanfeng and said, "Miss Yin, if you have the chance, please come to Shanghai to play. We will definitely do our best to be your hosts."

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Zhang first." After saying that, Yin Nanfeng asked Sheng Shengman to take the gourd away, and someone would take care of it.

Not long after, Shengshengman came in again, this time with waiters serving dishes, one after another. Yin Nanfeng also excused himself and left. As a big boss, he had a lot of things to do, so how could he really have a meal here?

However, Big Gold Tooth also asked for two bottles of good wine. They had a joyful banquet and enjoyed themselves. Big Gold Tooth also called Commander Cai and Stamp Li brothers, and they got each other's news. But Big Gold Tooth did not expect that Zhang Fan actually knew about Hu Ba and Fatty, the two brothers who were running business in Northeast China and were about to go bankrupt.
