This is a very spacious terrace.
The terrace is located on the third floor, and the weather is very good, so sitting here, you can see the radiant lake on the opposite side, which looks as dazzling as smelted gold, and the mountains in the distance are also lying in the fresh air Inside, it looks glamorous.
Even in this luxurious clubhouse, the terrace where Du Yuqi is located is considered a golden location.
Du Yuqi leaned comfortably on the recliner, closed his eyes and took a nap. There was a book "Pride and Prejudice" next to his left hand, and a cup of coffee was placed on the table next to his right hand. Hot little cookies.
It's been too long this time, and it's been three days since Du Yuqi came back. Du Yuqi still hasn't slowed down. He feels like a piece of porcelain, which looks intact. It is full of cracks and needs to be raised.
So these days he never stands when he can sit, and never sits when he can lie down. However, he didn't stop in his mind, digesting the kendo experience he got from Casillas, and trying to apply these experiences in actual combat!
At this time, a white-haired waiter with one hand behind his back came to Du Yuqi's side, bowed slightly and whispered to him:
"Hello, sir."
This white man spoke very standard Mandarin, even better than Du Yuqi. Du Yuqi opened his eyes and said lazily:
"whats the matter?"
The white waiter said politely:
"I'm Paul. I'm very glad to serve you. Your membership card is a diamond card, so I will give you a special dessert. Would you like a Shizuoka honeydew melon or a strawberry from Nottingshire?" Nuo ice cream?"
"Huh?" Du Yuqi became interested immediately. He has long heard of Shizuoka honeydew melon, a luxury fruit that sells for as much as 1,600 RMB a piece.
Shizuoka Honeydew Melon This kind of melon is called "one tree and one fruit", which means that only one melon grows on one melon vine. The melon farmers in Shizuoka, in order to grow the first-class honeydew melon, cut off all the other melons on a vine to ensure sufficient and rich nutrition for this single melon.
Shizuoka honeydew melons use the heat of hot springs to heat the greenhouse to maintain the temperature in the planting shed, so delicious honeydew melons with stable quality and a sweetness of up to 16 degrees can be produced throughout the year.
Because of its high price, there are many counterfeit products, but presumably this kind of place will not be ashamed of selling fake and shoddy products.
Soon, a plate of chilled Shizuoka honeydew melon was served in front of Du Yuqi. The flesh of the melon showed a mixed degree of greenish and golden yellow, and it was still air-conditioned. It melted in the mouth, and it felt refreshing. It is transmitted to the brain, which makes people feel extraordinarily comfortable.
At this moment, Du Yuqi felt that someone beside him seemed to be staring at him all the time. He suddenly turned around and found three people sitting at a table a few meters away. The person staring at him was a hale and hearty old man in Tang suit. After the two eyes met, the old man nodded and smiled apologetically, and looked away.
Immediately afterwards, the patio door was opened, and under the guidance of the waiter, Young Master Chu hurried over, loosened the tie, and drank the glass of lemonade in front of him in one gulp. the way:
"Good stuff, really good stuff! Do you still have any stock there? Both Xiongben Tang and Luming Tang are fine, as many as you want!"
Du Yuqi thought in his heart that the fish had finally taken the bait, so he said simply:
"Now I only have at most two doses of Xiongben Decoction here, and only one dose of Luming Decoction."
Young Master Chu immediately said:
"Everything, when can I give it to me? The old man took Luming Decoction, and he felt that he had regained his power. What's even more rare is that your medicine has a long-lasting effect and no side effects at all. I will definitely want this dose. Take it back and do your best.”
Du Yuqi said:
"You can ask someone to get it from me at night, but once the three doses are made, the raw materials will not be able to keep up."
Young Master Chu chuckled and said:
"Don't worry, why did you ask to meet here this time? It's because I've already made an appointment."
After the two chatted for a few words, they saw a waiter walking over with a woman with short hair. This woman was dressed as an office worker and looked very smart. Young Master Chu immediately stood up to greet her. I just talked a few words in English, and then the woman made an apologetic gesture, and then walked to the next seat to say hello, the two seemed to be old acquaintances.
Du Yuqi noticed that the old man who had been watching her was of high status, and the woman introduced by Young Master Chu showed respect from the bottom of her heart when she saluted.
Immediately after the woman came back, Young Master Chu introduced her as Michelle, a high-level executive in Christie's auction house, with a wide social network. This time, he invited two clients who liked to collect and wanted to cash in. Da Shao promises to give a 15% agency fee.
Soon, the two clients that Michelle had invited came. Of course, the two parties could not talk outside, but there are many vacant conference rooms here, so the two parties can start to have close talks.
However, the negotiation and cooperation this time can be said to be not very smooth, because the two parties actually present a very peculiar relationship. The person who sells antiques feels that he is very sincere, and what he brings is the best of the antiques. However, Du Yuqi Although what you want is an antique, it must be something that has left your own brand in history. Some of these things are very valuable, such as He's Bi, but some collection value may not be high, such as the one that Du Yuqi got before. pen…
Because of this, people who sell antiques feel that these two people on the buyer look very unreliable—because they look young at first glance—and they are actually unreliable in the following conversations. At the time, I didn't know the goods at all.
Fortunately, Du Yuqi finally found a cultural relic among the goods brought by the first customer. To be precise, it was a cultural relic with the power of time.
This thing is a bowl, the firing technique is very exquisite, but there is no style at the bottom of the bowl, so it is destined not to be sold at a high price.
After Du Yuqi picked up the bowl, he saw a strange scene from inside, that is, an eunuch in Qing Dynasty costume was holding this bowl to give medicine to a young man who was bedridden. He died, and the young man was wearing bright yellow clothes, and there was a dragon pattern on the pillow.
Du Yuqi thought about it for a while and then recalled that when the Qing Dynasty was about to perish, the Empress Dowager Cixi felt that her life was not long, so she sent Li Lianying to reward Guangxu with a bowl of medicine to poison him to death. As a result, Empress Dowager Cixi also died the next day.
Because Guangxu wanted to drive Yuan Shikai and conspired with him to imprison Cixi during the Hundred Days Reform, so Cixi was very harsh on him, which is why he lived in a poor place, without the enjoyment of an emperor.
The bowl I got should be the one that Li Lianying used to hold the arsenic that day. I don't know what happened, but it has been passed down.
The first customer secretly laughed at the two young men for their ignorance, so he made a big deal when asking the price. This porcelain bowl is from a folk kiln in the Qing Dynasty, and it has no style. Although it is exquisite, the market price is only 60,000 He directly said that it was 200,000 yuan, which was already the top price of folk kiln porcelain in the Qing Dynasty.
First Young Master Chu and the invited experts inquired about it, and then made a quick decision. Because he felt that he had made a fortune in this matter, he was in a good mood, so the customer laughed in his heart, and he still did a good job on the surface. polite.
However, the second customer who was invited had a bad temper. When he realized that the two young people were picking out the things they brought without any rules, they immediately had a fit. The two parties were very unhappy. The root of the problem was concentrated on the inkstone that Du Yuqi had taken a fancy to.
According to the customer, this inkstone is very famous. Zheng Banqiao personally found a strange stone and invited famous artists to carve it. It is very precious and has been used for 20 years, so the asking price is very high.
But the clues of the power of time that Du Yuqi read from it, the most shining moment of this pen, was when he wrote a line:
When you haven't looked at this flower, this flower and your heart have returned to silence. When you look at this flower, the color of this flower becomes clear for a moment. I know this flower is not in my heart!
This line of characters is very famous, and it is the foundation of Wang Yangming's mind learning, and Wang Yangming was from the Ming Dynasty, which is nearly two hundred years different from Zheng Banqiao's time. How could it be carved from a stone found by Zheng Banqiao himself
