Country Feng Shui master in the city

Hearing Xiang Nannan's abrupt voice, Chen Luo and Qiao Biancheng couldn't help casting surprised glances. Xiang Nannan knew he was losing his composure, and even said it was nothing, but he didn't expose Chen Luo's hand in antiques to make huge profits.

"Old Jia, how much do you think this broken tripod is worth?" Qiao Biancheng quickly returned his attention to the bronze tripod. He felt that Chen Luo's asking price was a bit high, but he didn't answer immediately. Instead, he asked about the tripod brought from the capital. Appreciation expert.When he opened his mouth, it was more interesting. On the one hand, he wanted to ask whether the item was genuine, and on the other hand, he wanted Lao Jia to cooperate in bargaining.

Lao Jia had been with Qiao Biancheng for many years, saw the boss's intentions, and said lightly: "The things are from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and they are missing an ear, so they are only worth two to three million yuan."

Chen Luo was amused. Bargaining is a common thing when buying and selling antiques, but the price quoted by the object is a bit outrageous, and said: "Are you talking about two or three million US dollars? A few years ago, an auction of more than 300 million dollars was sold in the United States. I can give you less." Not for sale."

"For such a high purchase price, I'll sell it to a ghost. For the sake of the old business, I ask you to accept 500 million."

The 500 million is naturally in RMB.Qiao Biancheng specializes in the antique business, and he is also a very good appraiser of treasures. It is estimated that he will give a quotation based on the market.

"The price is still a bit low. If I sell it, I will lose a lot."

"There are not many people who come across bronze wares in China. Except for me, no one dares to take your things. Firstly, they are afraid of accidents. Secondly, there is no channel. I will give you another 50 yuan."

"The price is 700 million yuan, don't let it down. This thing is an antique, and I'm not afraid of overselling it."

"700 million, I took your things and even lost the chance to eat soup, 600 million is the price, if it doesn't work, you can find someone else."

"Deal." Chen Luo seemed to have reached the limit of Qiao Biancheng when he saw it, but he didn't hold on to the price. He bought 100 million and sold 600 million in one turn. He made a profit of 500 million in an instant.

Qiao Biancheng immediately wrote him a check, and he and Lao Jia carried the bronze tripod to Lao Jia's room. After being busy with everything, the group left the hotel and took a taxi to a private restaurant.Private dishes, as the name suggests, are private dishes.It is a good dish cooked by the owner that you eat at someone's home.Private dishes usually have no shop signs, fixed menus, or full-time waiters, but the cooking techniques of these dishes are often inherited from the ancestors, have unique flavors, and are limited in supply, which cannot be eaten in restaurants in the market.

Private dishes originated from the delicacies in the deep mansions in ancient times. At that time, high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen "keep beautiful kitchens at home and compete for each other", comparing each other's taste in "eating", the most important thing in life.Under the combined effect of their "famous products" and their own famous chefs, one after another famous dishes are produced. Because they have their own characteristics, they form private dishes.

Private cooking is not a big dish, but "you can rule a big country if you cook small fresh food well."There are two theories about its origin. One is that it originated in the late Qing Dynasty, which refers to dishes prepared in a very private kitchen without sect or faction.Eating private dishes means that everyone huddles together in a home-like place and eats the master's specialty dishes. During the meal or after eating, the master will come out to socialize for a while. After several exchanges, the diners and the master become friends.Nowadays, many famous dishes are actually evolved from private kitchen dishes, such as Tan's cuisine, Confucian cuisine, and Duan's cuisine.

Another way of saying it is an extension of official cuisine.In the past, the chefs of the government used to make dishes around the word "meticulous", and the process was quite complicated.After leaving the mansion, they lived among the people. The big families in the folk also pay attention to style when eating. Having a chef, especially a chef from the government, is a symbol of their wealth and status.Based on the production of official dishes, these home chefs further integrated and developed cooking techniques to cater to the tastes of their masters.Over time, it became a category of its own.

People who come to eat private dishes are all well-connected, and generally don't ask the price.

"Fish drunk baijiu, crab roe climbing a tree, shredded squid, kimchi, sesame eggs, pickled white radish, cabbage hairtail, seafood salted rice, yellow flower wine..."

There are eight dishes in total, and the chef will explain some specific methods before serving a dish.

After chatting with the chef for a while, Chen Luo realized that Chef Hu has a lot of background. His ancestors were imperial chefs, and he worked as a cook at the Foreign Affairs Office in the capital a few years ago. After retiring and returning to his hometown, he felt that his life was too leisurely.I have been working as a cook for a lifetime, so I simply set up a private restaurant. The storefront is my home, and there are no waiters. Except for the ingredients, there is no cost. If there are customers coming, I will cook a few dishes according to the ingredients at home, and there are no customers. Don't consider the cost issue when you come to the door.

"I've eaten this Yuzui baijiu before, and they all use small yellow croakers. I don't think I've seen this fish before." Xiang Nannan stared at Yuzui baijiu for a long time, and the taste is quite good.

"This is silver carp, which is very common in the market. It is relatively easy to choose materials. Where ordinary people can eat small yellow croakers, they are all made from some very common ingredients. It is quite a test of cooking skills to make ordinary ingredients delicious. "Chen Luo lived in the countryside since he was a child, unlike Xiang Nannan and Qiao Biancheng who lived in wealthy families, the food was naturally good.

"It's really good. The fish with cabbage tastes good, especially the taste of vinegar." Qiao Biancheng picked up a piece of cabbage and ate it.

A group of people chatted while eating, the mobile phone in Chen Luo's pocket rang, saw that it was Liu Xiangxiang's call, put it on his chopsticks and answered the call, "Sound ringing, why did it suddenly ring and call me, I'm still in Putian ? Where do you recruit students?"

"It's good if you are here. My mother called me and said that my father was beaten and is currently in the No. [-] Hospital. I heard it is very serious. We are in Xiamen. You go to the hospital to help me see him first. Be more practical." Liu Xiangxiang on the other end of the phone couldn't buy an air ticket, so he booked a taxi and was on his way back to Putian. Ruo Tao and Lao Cao couldn't get away because they still had to recruit students, so they could only call Chen Luo .

"Don't panic, I'll tell me the hospital number now, and I'll rush over to have a look. By the way, who beat your father, is it the gangster who had a conflict with us at the restaurant that day?" Chen Luo asked while comforting .

"I heard from my mother that my father didn't know those people either. They had tattoos on their arms. They must have been done by Huang Shiren from the Fuqing Gang. They couldn't find me, so they beat my father."

Liu Xiangxiang was able to go to a key university, and he was not stupid, so it was easy to think that it was the people from the Fuqing Gang who did it.

Hearing Liu Xiangxiang's angry voice came from the phone, Chen Luo became angry too, and said: "I will definitely vent my anger on you about this matter, you tell me the sick number first, I will go and visit... . . ”

Soon Liu Xiangxiang told Chen Luo the ward number, Chen Luo said a few words of comfort, closed the phone, got up and said: "The father of one of my classmates was beaten, and he is currently in the hospital. I'll go over there for a while." , you two, eat. I will leave the bank card, but Brother Biancheng, you can settle the bill for me."

Chen Luo was taking out his wallet, but was stopped by Qiao Biancheng, and said: "If you have something to do, go first, this meal will be counted on me first, and you will ask again. If you need help, just tell me, don't tell me I'm polite."

Thinking that it is impossible for Qiao Biancheng to know anyone in Putian, if he is asked to help, it is estimated that people in the capital will be alarmed.Chen Luo said: "It's just a small matter, I can handle it."

"That's right, even you can't solve my problems, I guess I don't have the ability." Qiao Biancheng said half-jokingly, he knew that Chen Luo had a deep background, and the Yang family and the Fang family stood behind him, and Chen Luo himself was quite Difficult character.

"Then I'm leaving." Chen Luo responded, turned and left the private pavilion, went to the street outside and hailed a taxi and went directly to Putian No.1 People's Hospital.When I came to the ward, there was a large group of people surrounded by Liu Xiangxiang's uncles and uncles, discussing in low voices.

"Uncle Liu, call loudly to tell me that I was beaten, are you alright?" Chen Luo walked to the hospital bed, and saw Uncle Liu lying on the hospital bed with a few stitches on his lips and a lot of scratches on his face.

"This kid is really, Dad was beaten, it's not a glorious thing, he talks nonsense, and doesn't care about my face at all. It's just that my back hurts a little, and I couldn't straighten up after being beaten by them. The doctor said it's nothing serious, just rest for a while and you'll be fine."

Uncle Liu saw Chen Luo coming in, but Chen Luo stretched out his hand to stop him, saying: "You are a patient now, don't move while lying down, and your mouth is broken, it's better to talk less. I'll check your pulse .”

Hearing Chen Luo's words, Uncle Liu didn't continue to speak, and after taking his pulse, he said: "Uncle Liu, you have internal injuries, I will prescribe a prescription for you to recuperate your body, and you will be fine if you get the root of the disease in the future. "

"It's not good! The doctor didn't say that just now. He only said that the cervical spine was injured a little and he needed to stay in bed."

"If you are sick, treat the disease, if you are not sick, treat the disease."

These quack doctors can take X-rays if they can see what is famous, how can they understand the theory of the five internal organs.

"That's right, you write me a prescription, and I'll try it later." When Uncle Liu thought of being beaten, it was true that he couldn't afford to drink Chinese medicine because he needed to recuperate his body.In addition, he knew that he came to Putian this time to recruit students, and he should be the best in the school to participate in such activities of the school, but he did not underestimate Chen Luo's medical skills.
