Nuan Nuan gave the box in his hand to Zhou Xiaozhou and waved his hand: "No, I'm not here to auction vegetables this time."
Wen Nuan walked around the counter and followed Mr. Zhou inside.
Mr. Zhou looked disappointed: "Why don't you bring two handfuls of vegetables?! I won't help you take pictures! I can't bear to show my respect to Grandpa Zhou even if I have a handful of vegetables!"
Recently, Mr. Zhou has been going to Wen's house for dinner every few days, and he has become familiar with Wen Nuan's family.
So the joke started.
Nuan Nuan: "Then I won't auction vegetables anymore. Grandpa Zhou doesn't have to go to my house to get vegetables!"
Mr. Zhou blew his beard and stared: "How dare you!"
Several people sat down.
Zhou Xiaozhou said at this time: "Sister Nuannuan, if he doesn't help you take the photo, I will help you."
At this time, a cry came from outside: "Where is the person? Mr. Zhou!"
"Get out and receive the guests!" Mr. Zhou kicked Zhou Xiaozhou's feet.
Zhou Xiaozhou ran out quickly.
Mr. Zhou opened the baggage and revealed an exquisite box.
The box is made of mahogany and beautifully carved.
"What kind of treasure is inside? Is it porcelain?" he asked as he opened one of them.
This kind of box usually contains fragile porcelain.
"Um."
Mr. Zhou carefully opened the box, and then his eyes widened. He was immediately stunned by the bright colors: "Nuan girl, is this the new porcelain from the Cai family?"
Unexpectedly, ten years later, "Beicai" would have a new breakthrough.
But the Cai family also put up new porcelain from the kiln for auction today! Why didn't they bring it over together instead of Nuan Yatou auctioning it off
Nuan Nuan: "No."
Mr. Zhou quickly picked up the colorful bowl and studied it carefully.
The porcelain body is thin, repaired regularly, and intact. The color is bright yellow, and then several blue and pink rich flowers are painted on it. The bottom shaft is pure white, neither blue nor yellow, and the shaft surface is smooth and clean. defect. The whole bowl looks rich, solemn, graceful and luxurious!
Not even the porcelain produced by the Cai family, which is famous in the entire Nalan Kingdom, can produce such bright and bright colors!
This is a kind of colored porcelain craftsmanship that he has never seen before!
Colored porcelain that is even more outstanding than the famous Beicai Cai family!
Mr. Zhou glanced at the signature at the bottom: Nuan Sheng? never heard of that!
He took another look at the words Hui'an Porcelain Kiln on the inside of the lid of the wooden box.
Huian porcelain kiln? never heard of that!
Nuan Sheng - Nuan
Mr. Zhou looked at Nuan Nuan, his eyes full of inquiry: "Girl Nuan, couldn't you have made this colorful bowl?"
Wen Nuan neither admitted nor denied: "My grandpa's newly opened porcelain kiln, what does Grandpa Zhou think of this splendid Fa Langcai bowl?"
“This is the best colored porcelain I have ever seen, bar none!”
Mr. Zhou opened another box.
This is a vase, the color style should be light and elegant.
The porcelain body is also impeccable, but the painting skills are a little lacking, but this is a newly created colored porcelain craft, even if it is slightly lacking! But he can also be regarded as the originator!
He can guarantee that after this Fa Langcai comes out, it will definitely become a hit! Leading the ceramic industry!
And these two are the originators, and they are simply priceless treasures.
―――
After handing over the auction items, Mr. Zhou personally sent Nuan Nuan and Wen Jiamei out.
Zhou Xiaozhou was receiving the maid in Tsing Yi and the young lady from the Qing family just now.
When he saw the two of them coming out, he said enthusiastically: "Sister Nuannuan, beautiful aunt, please go slowly. I'll play with you another day!"
Wen Jiamei smiled.
"Okay, I'm leaving! Grandpa Zhou doesn't need to send it off." Nuan Nuan waved his hand.
"Walk slowly."
Mr. Zhou sent Nuan Nuan out of the reception door before returning.
The maid in green clothes was shocked.
What are the identities of those two women
Mr. Zhou actually saw him off in person and received him in the inner room
The maid in green couldn't help but ask Zhou Xiaozhou: "Mr. Zhou, who was that girl just now?"
So, did she offend the noble man just now
"I'm sorry that I can't tell you the identity of the guest. Girl, your auction items have been registered! You can go to the auction house and wait for the auction to start. Thank you for your support!"
Polite but distant.
The maid in green couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "To be received like this by Mr. Zhou, he must be a person of status, but why should he dress so shabbily to make others misunderstand him?"
Zhou Xiaozhou's eyes widened after hearing this: "Girl, are you afraid there is some misunderstanding? A hundred taels of silver and gold-woven fine cotton are too shabby to wear on you?"
There are golden flowers hidden in the fine gold-woven cotton, and they will bloom loomingly in the sunshine. However, it has been rainy recently and there is no sunshine, so they cannot be seen.
Maid in green: "..."
I heard that gold-woven fine cotton clothes will leave gold water after burning!
That’s really wearing gold on your body!
Upon hearing this, the young lady from the Qing family looked in the direction of the door, her eyebrows slightly twisted.

After leaving the reception area, Nuan Nuan said to Wen Jiamei: "Auntie, you go to the auction house and see how much money those two things can fetch. I'll go to the shop to see how the decoration is."
Her aunt had never been to an auction house before, so Wen Nuan wanted her to experience it, and since this was her first work to be auctioned, it was of great significance. Naturally, she wanted to see with her own eyes how much money it could fetch, to give her a little more confidence.
If there was nothing wrong with Wen Nuan, she would see how many taels of silver the porcelain could fetch.
But Pan Shichang asked Feng An to send a message yesterday, saying that there was a shop he was willing to sell for one thousand taels.
Pan Shichang's recent purchase of shops has been relatively smooth. Wen Nuan asked him to buy each shop for 50 to 100 taels higher than the market price. Most of the shop owners sold them.
Because business is really bad, half a month after the new year this year, no one comes to rent, and the rent is getting lower year by year. The market price of the shop is also getting lower year by year due to poor business and depreciation. Low, some people were willing to pay tens of taels more to buy it, and many people sold it.
But the shop that asked for one thousand taels only had thirty square meters. One thousand taels, even in other busy streets, those prosperous shops are not so expensive.
Nuan Nuan went to see what was going on.
Wen Jiamei nodded: "Okay."
Nuan Nuan took her to the door of the high-end auction house and left.
Wen Jiamei walked into the auction house.
There were many people in the auction house this time, more than half the number when Nuan Nuan came last two times.
These people all come here for healthy vegetables.
Wen Jiamei casually found a seat at the back and sat down.
Mr. Xu searched all the families with the surname Wen in Jianghuai Mansion, but could not find his apprentice. Today he couldn't help but come to the auction house to try his luck to see if any of his apprentice's works would be auctioned.
When he saw someone coming in, he subconsciously turned his head and took a look. When he saw that it was a woman, he turned back.
The auction will begin soon.
The auctions at the beginning were all relatively common valuable items. The bidding was not fierce and everything was sold quickly.
Wen Jiamei didn't like anything. Besides, these auction items were very expensive, ranging from more than ten taels to several hundred taels, so she was reluctant to take them.
Next it’s the porcelain auction’s turn.
As soon as a blue and white porcelain vase comes out, bidders come and go!
The competition is fierce!
The starting price was one hundred taels, and the price was immediately raised to one thousand taels!
In the end, the vase was sold for a high price of 1,800 taels.
"One thousand eight hundred taels! Miss, you are so awesome! We will definitely win this time, right?!"
Miss Cai won last year, and she must not lose this year.
Miss Qing's lips raised slightly.
At this year's appreciation event in Beijing, her family must win half of the venue.
She looked in another direction.
There sat a beautiful woman in pink and an elegant and handsome young man, both of them looking forward with relaxed expressions.
The woman in pink seemed to notice her gaze, turned her head and looked over, then smiled slightly at her.
Miss Qing's heart skipped a beat.
