The Book of Appreciation

The local people in Shoushan divide the fields producing Tianhuang into upper, middle and lower sections along the Shoushan River, commonly known as "ban". .According to the customary principle of "the place name follows the locality", the literati wrote it in the book and made it public to the world, so it became the official title of Tianhuang's place of origin.

The paddy fields above the large section where Kengtou River and Daduan River meet are called "Shangban", and the "Shangban" stones are mostly lighter in color. "Shangban Tian is tender, delicate and crystal clear", "light in color and delicate in quality, just like pit head crystal jelly", these are experts' evaluation of "Shangban" stone.

Wu Di estimated the price. If this stone was handed over to Jiang Jialang for a little carving, it would be worth more than 600 million. Buying it at this price can be regarded as a big increase.Without any further hesitation, he asked:

"Brother Lu, how do you sell this stone?"

Lu Gang glanced at the serial number, took out a thin ledger, flipped through it twice, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Wu wants to buy it, I'll give you a half discount, 75."

Wu Di laughed and said:

"Are you sure you're not bad?"

"Hahahaha, no loss, no loss, this stone was put into storage in 01, and the purchase price was only 1 yuan. I sold it to you according to the current market valuation, how could I lose money?"

Wu Di smiled and shook his head, regardless of how much he added, this kind of business attitude made him appreciate it.And at this price, judging from the current market, he still has a great advantage.

Zheng Yuming over there also chose a piece, and said with a smile:

"Old Lu, I don't want you to get [-]% off this piece, give me [-]% off, and I'm satisfied."

"Run on me, right? Can I really give you a [-]% discount?"

Lu Gang looked at the serial number, flipped through the ledger, and shouted:

"Damn it! What kind of vision do you have, Old Zheng! This stone was put in the warehouse in 94, but it's a really good thing! Fuck, whoever adjusted the price to only 70 yuan, I'll drive him away later! "

Zheng Yuming smiled and said:

"A gentleman speaks quickly, and I take advantage of this advantage!"

Wu Di took a look at the stone. It was a piece of chicken oil yellow, the top grade among Tianhuang stones. The current market price is at least 150 million, and Lao Zheng's advantage is not small.

A few people walked out of the warehouse, only to find that the sky was already dark. It seems that looking at stones in the dark warehouse really does not feel the passage of time.After completing the formalities, Lu Gang scolded with a smile:

"Xiao Wu, I'm going to eat Lao Zheng today, fuck, I want to turn my sorrow and anger into food, and eat back the losses I ate in the afternoon!"

"Hahahaha, brother Lu, you have a problem with what you said. If you take back the loss you suffered, wouldn't you suffer it again?"

Wu Yongquan doesn't talk much, but he is also a humorous person.Zheng Yuming was even more arrogant, with his chin raised, with a contemptuous expression on his face,

"If you want, you can also pick a piece in my warehouse. I'm not as stingy as you. I'm still whining about the deal. No matter which piece you like, it will be [-]% off. Dare you take a gamble?"

The dinner was very sumptuous. It is said that seven of the top ten famous dishes in Guangdong Province were served. Wu Di had eaten both roast goose and white-cut chicken, but the taste here is obviously better.The winter melon cup is also very distinctive. Zheng Yuming introduced it eloquently, more professional than the waiter.

"Winter melon cup began in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, every summer season, the royal family had to eat some nutritious and refreshing dishes. The imperial chef of the Qing Palace cut off the top of the big watermelon, scooped out the flesh, and used chicken soup, chicken Dried scallops, duck gizzards, diced meat, diced ham, diced mushrooms and other raw materials were steamed into a "watermelon cup". The soup was clear and delicious, and the Qing emperor and ministers liked it very much. This dish has been spread all over the world. People in Yangcheng first use winter melon with chicken soup, chicken and mountain delicacies, plus bamboo sticks and shrimps as "eight treasures". "Soon it became famous all over the world."

Lu Gang smiled and said:

"Old Zheng has friends all over the world, he has done a lot of reception work, and he knows these dishes better than the restaurant foreman!"

Lao Zheng picked up sweet and sour pork with chopsticks for Wu Di, and said with a smile:

"Come on, brother, try this dish. It's not common in the north. Even in Yangcheng, it's not available in every restaurant."

Wu Di chewed for a while, then sighed:

"Refreshing and sweet, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! Delicious."

"Now sweet and sour sweet and sour pork, a famous dish in Yangcheng, is gradually declining in restaurants. It's not because modern people don't like fat meat and reluctantly give up for health, but because post-80s and post-90s eat raw fried bones in restaurants and think it's Western. The taste is very good. Therefore, the restaurant uses raw fried bone instead of the sweet and sour pork in the past, so that there is no sweet and sour pork on the menu of the restaurant now!"

The chubby Zheng Yu obviously loves this dish very much. He already ate two yuan after just a few words. Everyone had a sip of beer together. Wu Di asked:

"The name of this dish is very interesting, it sounds like the name of a foreigner's dish."

"Haha, your question is very representative! In fact, the predecessor of sweet and sour pork turned out to be a very common summer dish in Guangdong Province, called "sweet and sour pork". In the early years, people from Guangdong Province went to the Americas to work hard. The home-cooked "sweet and sour pork" was also brought over. Later, they gathered in San Francisco and formed Chinatown. Cantonese restaurants in Chinatown naturally used their favorite dishes as their signature dishes, and "sweet and sour pork" also took root in Chinatown. By the beginning of the century, "sweet and sour pork" had become the most popular dish in Chinese restaurants, and it was deeply loved by foreigners. They always called it "sweet and sour pork" (sweet and sour pork) when ordering. People in Guangdong Province saw foreign friends so appreciative In the past, the "sweet and sour meat" was jokingly called "ghost meat". Later, I felt that it would be disrespectful to foreign friends, so I took the homonym and changed "ghost meat" to "gulu meat."

Wu Di suddenly felt that his eyes were wide open. While raising his glass to toast, he asked humbly:

"Then why is Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, which is often shown on TV, not included in the top ten famous dishes?"

Now not only Lu and Zheng, but also Wu Yongquan and the waiter beside him laughed.Wu Di knew that he had said something wrong, but he didn't know where he was wrong, so he could only cover it up by drinking. After a long while, no one opened his mouth to explain, he couldn't help laughing and scolding:

"A few old and disrespectful guys will know to see my jokes!"

The waiter next to him smiled and said:

"Sir, that Buddha Tiaoqiang is a famous dish in Fujian Province, and our hotel also has it, but it needs to be booked half a day in advance. You can place an order now, and you can eat it at noon tomorrow."

Wu Di put the wine glass on the table and said with a smile:

"Okay! I'll eat this Buddha jumping over the wall at noon tomorrow, and I have to stay in Yangcheng for a few more days. I must eat these guys poorly!"

Several people laughed even louder, and Lu Gang took the opportunity to toast, and the atmosphere during the banquet became more and more harmonious.

After eating a meal until [-] o'clock in the evening, Lu Gang was slightly drunk, wrapped his arms around Wu Di's shoulders, and said:

"Brother, go with Big Brother and show you the nightlife in Yangcheng. Old Zheng is the best at this!"

As soon as Wu Di heard that his head was getting bigger, he quickly broke away and said:

"No, no, this precept cannot be broken. It would be terrible for a weak-willed person like me to become obsessed with this taste."

The chubby Zheng Yuming looked stern-eyed no matter what he looked at at the moment, and said sternly when he heard the words:

"Little brother, do you know how those big families on Hong Kong Island train their successors? Wine, sex and wealth are a few hurdles that must be passed! Some are even sent to Macau casinos for a walk, and only those who can stand the test can enter the family's sight , Focus on training! If one of them is planted, you are ready to be an idle rich man!"

"Nonsense! You read it in the book? Don't fool me with these! A man is a man, dare to do something, just go out to have fun, how can there be so many scruples, Yongquan, drive!"

Wu Di became anxious and shouted:

"I originally wanted to fight at night to gamble on stones!"

Wu Yongquan slammed on the brake, and Lu Gang was also a little moved. Zheng Yuming laughed and said:

"Let's go, let's go! Let's not engage in countryman stuff, so as to save Lao Lu from accusing him of being a fool tomorrow! Xiao Wu, you don't know, a group of new horses came to the market recently, all of them are top-notch..."

Wu Di smiled helplessly, forget it, do as the Romans do.

Wu Di didn't go to this kind of place much when he was doing business, but he also accompanied a few clients to see it, but the grade was not too high.On the contrary, I often listened to some old bankers in the company talk about some experiences in the field, such as opening beer bottles, playing table tennis, etc. Wu Di knew what it meant.In the past, I always wanted to see it, but I was reluctant to pay for it, and I couldn’t save face, so I never made it. Since I can’t refuse today, it’s good to see it.

A few people came to a very formal bathing center. Looking at the resplendent hall, Lu Gang sighed:

"When I first came out to start a business, I couldn't afford to live in a hotel, so I lived in a bathhouse. It cost 20 yuan a night, and I could take a bath by the way. I felt very happy. Now, it doesn't feel like throwing out [-] yuan a night. This man ah……"

"Don't worry about it here. If you have a good friend, hurry up and call for two! If not, I will arrange it together! Brother Wu is here for the first time, so he must fully feel the enthusiasm of our Yangcheng people!"

Zheng Yuming has been included in the ranks of old silver sticks by Wu Di. Hearing what he said, he couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.

"Forget it, let's take a bath, watch the show and chat for a while."

Lu Gang gave Zheng Yuming a wink, and several people took their cards and went to change their clothes.

There are very few people in the bathroom, and there are only a few places for massage and bathing.The big bath pool is no different from the one in the north, and Wu Di has also experienced both medicinal baths and Turkish fish baths. A few people soaked casually for a while, steamed in the sauna, and took a bath before preparing to go upstairs.After Wu Di went through all this tossing, all the greasy dirt on his body was gone, and he just felt refreshed for a while!

After changing his clothes and taking his cell phone, Zheng Yuming asked if he wanted to go to the private room or the lobby. Wu Di knew what was in the private room, so he hurriedly said with a smile:

"Let's go to the hall to watch the show!"
