After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an didn't bother himself. He changed the subject and handed the bag of clothes to Zhao Yuntao, saying seriously, "Okay, let's get back to the point. I've brought all the clothes here. Can you pick out which ones are more suitable for auction?"

Zhao Yuntao took the bag from Xu Bo'an, took out the clothes inside and looked through them carefully.

After all, Zhao Yuntao works in an auction house. Although he was not a professional when he first started, he has learned a lot about how to distinguish various expensive collectibles and luxury goods over the years.

There is a saying that goes, learn while you are still working!
Even if you are a newbie who knows nothing, as long as you enter that industry, you will know everything after a few years, it is just the difference between being proficient or having only a partial understanding.

And don't worry, generally speaking, those high-end tasks that seem out of reach and difficult to complete, nine times out of ten, as long as you choose to try, you will eventually find that it is just that simple.

So, when looking for a job, don't be timid just because you are not professional. Just apply boldly. What if the other party is also a parallel HR employee? That's it. After you get in, he will be embarrassed to fire you immediately.

As for what to do after joining the company, the same old saying applies: learn by doing.

Mr. Zhang San, who is also known as the Outlaw, once said that this world is actually just a huge makeshift team, and most people are ridiculously incompetent.

As a human being, there is no need for you to always worry about your lack of ability or low level, or to always worry about whether you are qualified for the job or other things.

As for the so-called internal friction, it is unnecessary to feel that you are not as good as others.

People often talk about perfection, but in reality, this thing is just like a vague and illusory "ghost". Many people have heard of it, but few have seen it.

You have to think clearly, there are ways to do something worth 30,000 yuan, and there are ways to do something worth 1,000 yuan. Since the job has been handed over to you, do you think he can expect you to achieve the effect of 30,000 yuan with 1,000 yuan?
People always say they are knowledgeable, but in fact, it is just knowledge. Real deep skills cannot be learned by just superficial learning.

A simple taste is enough to cope with most situations.

Zhao Yuntao is a man who knows nothing, but he has been running the auction business for so many years. Isn't it that he has gradually become familiar with it and can appreciate all kinds of things?
Zhao Yuntao was really stunned to see such high-end clothes and the number of them. Although he knew only a little about these things, it did not affect his initial judgment. He looked at Xu Bo'an with surprise and said in astonishment: "Brother, these... these clothes are amazing.

Although I still don't know what this is made of, but I can tell it's handmade and made of high-end materials! This thing is better than those high-end custom-made luxury clothes I have seen.

Such valuable things, you actually spent so many at once! This is too arrogant, the landlord's fool... Oh, no, the landlord's own son is not as arrogant as you!"

Seeing that he almost described himself as the landlord's idiot son, Xu Bo'an patted Zhao Yuntao on the head and said, "You almost said something stupid. You can't do two things at once. Hurry up and choose carefully!"

Zhao Yuntao smiled and said nothing more. After some identification, he chose one women's suit and one men's suit.

Then he turned to Xu Bo'an and said seriously, "Brother, to be honest, the material of every piece of clothing you picked is excellent. I have been doing this for so many years, and I have never seen any clothing that can compete with yours. I will first pick two sizes that are close to the one-size-fits-all size to test the waters. After all, this size is suitable for more people, and more people may buy it. But I am not very professional about this stuff, so I can't guarantee how much I can get for the time being. It depends on what kind of buyer I meet!"

The men's clothing size chosen by Zhao Yuntao is about XL, and the women's clothing size is about M. Because these two sizes cover most customer groups, the probability of selling out is naturally the highest.

Xu Bo'an nodded to show his understanding and said, "It's okay, take it first and test the price at your auction house. It doesn't matter how much it sells for!"

Zhao Yuntao nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Xu, I'll help you try it, and I'll tell you later."

While the two were chatting, the chef who had been busy in the kitchen came over, holding a small porcelain bowl, and said to Zhao Yuntao: "Mr. Zhao, the turtle soup is ready. Please taste it first to see if it suits your taste."

Zhao Yuntao smiled and said to the chef: "Master Yang, I am very confident in your cooking skills. This is enough. I don't need to taste it again."

The private chefs hired back are different from those in outside restaurants. When private chefs serve dishes, especially some classic and unique dishes, in addition to actively reminding the host to keep samples, they will also provide tasting services for the host before the dishes are served, and try their best to complete the final flavoring process according to the host's requirements.

The chef looked at Zhao Yuntao and said, "Mr. Zhao, as long as you are satisfied, the dishes will be served immediately."

Zhao Yuntao nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

Then he said to Xu Bo'an, "Brother Xu, the turtle is ready. Let's go eat it first. I guarantee you will be full of praise after eating it. Master Yang used to be a chef in a five-star hotel in Kyoto. Later, he stayed in Dongjiang to return home to take care of his sick mother. His cooking skills are the best among all the dishes I have ever eaten."

Xu Boan smiled and said, "Oh? Really? That must be good. Okay, let's go and enjoy the delicious food! I'm hungry too!"

Soon, Zhao Yuntao and Xu Bo'an walked into the kitchen to enjoy the delicious food. The chef had already served the soup and placed it on the table, and the bowls and chopsticks were neatly arranged. The two did not need to do anything else, just sit down and eat.

Looking at the soft-shelled turtle soup in the bowl, which is as white as nectar, with a thin layer of golden oil floating on the soup, and yam, red dates, and wolfberry in it, it has an attractive luster under the light.

Seeing such delicious food, the hungry Xu Boan picked up a piece of turtle skirt from the bowl and started eating. The turtle meat was stewed very soft. Xu Boan took a sip and the meat fell off the bone and melted in his mouth. The fresh and tender taste made Xu Boan very satisfied.

Then Xu Boan scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew it gently to cool it down, and put it into his mouth. The rich flavor instantly spread in his mouth. The texture of the soup was thick but not greasy, and the taste was mellow and smooth. Every mouthful made Xu Boan intoxicated.

The saying "Only food and love cannot be let down" is not said in vain. Food is indeed the most powerful healing power. Although Xu Boan has no pressure, eating delicious food can unconsciously make people feel good.

Zhao Yuntao also praised the soup highly after eating it, and said to Xu Boan: "How is it? Brother Xu, is this soup delicious?"

Xu Boan gave a thumbs up and said, "It's really good. The fish was not caught in vain!"

Zhao Yuntao was very happy to hear Xu Bo'an's praise, and both the host and the guest were happy during the meal.

After they finished eating, there was still some left in the pot. Zhao Yuntao said to Xu Bo'an, "Brother Xu, there is still so much in this pot. I can't finish it all by myself. You can pack some and take it back! We can have it as breakfast tomorrow."

Generally speaking, this kind of thing would definitely not be given as a gift, but this thing is very rare, equivalent to a local specialty from one's hometown, so no one would feel embarrassed about it.

Xu Boan didn't want to waste such good things, thinking that he could pack them up and take them back to give to the little people in the bonsai world, so he didn't bother to be polite with Zhao Yuntao and said, "Okay!" Zhao Yuntao took out a lunch box from home and filled it up for Xu Boan, then put it in a bag and put it on the table together with the clothes Xu Boan brought, so that Xu Boan could take it conveniently. Thinking that it was not too late, the two of them could still chat for a while.

As soon as he put them down, Xu Bo'an picked up the two bags and said, "I'm done eating, so I'll leave first!"

The reason Xu Boan packed up the turtle soup was actually because he wanted to share this delicacy with the little people in the bonsai world. He was afraid that it would get cold when he got back, so he told Zhao Yuntao that.

When Zhao Yuntao saw Xu Bo'an was about to leave after finishing his meal, he politely asked him to stay, "Brother, you are leaving right after finishing your meal, aren't you a bit too anxious? Why don't you sit here for a while and drink some tea to help digest your food?"

Xu Boan said with a smile: "Walking a hundred steps after a meal is like walking a god. The distance from your home to mine is just right for me to digest the food. The digestion effect is much better than sitting here."

When Zhao Yuntao heard Xu Boan say this, he didn't try to persuade him to stay.

After all, they are all adults, and everyone has some private matters. Since Xu Boan said so, Zhao Yuntao naturally would not ask more questions.

What if they just had turtle soup, a tonic, and were looking for a place to relieve themselves? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to ask such a question?

There are some things that you cannot point out even if you know them in your heart, let alone things that you don't know.

Zhao Yuntao immediately stood up and said, "Okay, brother, I won't keep you here."

Xu Bo'an walked out with a smile, and passed by the display cabinet in Zhao Yuntao's house. Suddenly, his attention was attracted by a porcelain plate on it.

This porcelain plate looks like blue and white porcelain, about the size of a palm, with a round and slightly open rim and soft and flowing lines.

The plate is decorated with intricate blue and white patterns, and the main pattern looks like a flower with plump petals and elegant colors.

The edge of the plate is surrounded by a spiral pattern, which looks very delicate.

However, Xu Boan's attention was focused on the simple logo on the bottom of the plate. After just one glance, Xu Boan was stunned.

Because the label above clearly reads, Made in the Kangxi Period of the Ming Dynasty!
When Xu Bo'an saw these words, he was stunned. What the hell is this?
Ming dynasty!

Kangxi!

Xu Boan was very familiar with these two words, but why did they feel so awkward when put together?

As we all know, there were many emperors in the Ming Dynasty, but there was definitely no one named Kangxi.

Emperor Kangxi is the most famous emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the longest-reigning emperor in Chinese history.

This is a point of knowledge that everyone who has gone through nine years of compulsory education should know.

Zhao Yuntao is a businessman who runs an auction house, so he must know about such an obvious mistake. This is definitely a fake. He is not trying to show off by putting it here, right?
Seeing Xu Boan standing there for a while without moving, Zhao Yuntao followed Xu Boan's gaze and immediately smiled.

"What's the matter? Brother Xu, do you like this plate? How about I give it to you?" Zhao Yuntao said with a smile.

Xu Boan shook his head and said, "No, it's just that the appearance sign above, don't you think there's something wrong?"

Zhao Yuntao laughed and said, "What? Are you talking about the Kangxi reign of the Ming Dynasty?"

Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "Yes, Daming is the Ming Dynasty, that's correct, right? Kangxi is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, that's correct too. These two words are put together, what the hell, this is a time travel."

Zhao Yuntao smiled and explained, "No, Brother Xu, you are wrong. This thing is not a fake. It is a genuine official kiln porcelain made during the reign of Emperor Kangxi."

"Ah!" Xu Bo'an exclaimed in surprise and waited for Zhao Yuntao's explanation.

Zhao Yuntao explained with a smile: "I also thought this thing was fake at first, but then I heard people talking about it and found out the truth behind it."

Soon, Zhao Yuntao briefly introduced a series of stories behind this piece of porcelain.

It turns out that this porcelain plate is indeed a genuine official kiln product, and it is not a misprinted product, but was written like this intentionally by a real person.

Because this was the requirement of the Qing court, because they felt that porcelain was very easy to break and was a very unlucky symbol, and during the kiln firing process, failed products had to be crushed in large quantities.

In this case, if "Qing Dynasty" was written on it, wouldn't it mean that the Qing Dynasty was about to fall apart?

Therefore, there was a strange rule at that time, that is, when porcelain was fired in the official kiln, the head of the Ming Dynasty would be marked on the porcelain. In this way, if the porcelain was broken, it could only represent the fragmentation of the Ming Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it was just for good luck!
After hearing Zhao Yuntao's explanation, Xu Bo'an suddenly realized something and pointed to his head and said, "I have learned more knowledge! I am really educated. I didn't expect there would be such a story. The value of this meal is still increasing."

Zhao Yuntao smiled and said modestly: "I just heard it from others. We have no way to verify what the situation was at that time. I have heard many other versions, but I just think this one is the most reliable."

Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "I also think this statement makes sense. Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. Please stay."

Of course Zhao Yuntao would not stay there. He politely sent Xu Boan to the door, and only closed the door after he saw Xu Boan walk a distance away.

After Xu Boan returned to his residence with the turtle soup, he did not delay while the soup was still warm, and immediately focused his attention on the bonsai, thinking about sharing the good soup with the little ones. (End of this chapter)
