"Zhao Xiaoyou, Li Mo is such a precious thing, you are willing to give it to my old man?"

Zhou Lao was in a particularly comfortable mood and smiled. When he first heard the news, and the person who transferred Li Mo was Zhao Tianming, who had only met him once and was impressed, he was surprised for a while.

It's a pity that that piece of Li Mo is now in the hands of Lao Qi and Lao Liu, and it is not easy to get it back, especially with Lao Liu, who is fighting against him with rhythm, and Lao Qi has been crooked by him.

"I'm making a fortune with this craft now, I'm still in my infancy, I don't have the capital to collect for the time being, and the things I get are also transferred out, and I sell them to anyone. ”

Zhao Tianming said very directly, and he was not hypocritical, he now really sees money as more important than treasures, and with money, he can make himself and the people around him live better.

"Then I thank you for your care, but you still remember my old man. ”

Zhou Lao made a little joke, he would not doubt the authenticity of that piece of Li Mo, with the eyes of Lao Liu and Lao Qi, he would basically not be wrong. From yesterday to now, he has made several phone calls and asked for some details, and even if he has not seen the real thing, he basically knows what to expect.

As for Zhao Tianming's behavior, Zhou Lao has no resistance, everyone has their own ideas, and outsiders have no right to interfere. Moreover, it is precisely because of the economic interests in it that a large number of antique cultural relics can be well preserved, and this is still the most powerful force, which is more effective than the various policies, guidance and maintenance of the state.

Like some cultural relics with no artistic value but archaeological value, the state does not know how much money to spend every year to maintain, but the effect is not ideal, and some things in the folk are discarded casually.

"Little brother, why don't you bring that piece of Li Yanqi ink with you, I also want to see its style!" Gu Jiahua said with emotion, his face fascinated.

"That, I didn't know that Zhou Lao was also in Suzhou before, so I handed it over to Qi Lao, when you called me, I happened to be in his shop, and the two old men said that the things would be left with them first, and then handed over to Zhou Lao later. Zhao Tianming explained.

Zhou Lao can imagine how gloating the two old guys were at that time, and they must have done it on purpose, feasting their eyes on the side, but satisfying his appetite.

"Old man, it's time to eat. ”

Just as the three of them were talking happily, a graceful and kind old woman came over and beckoned to Zhou Lao.

"Then let's eat first, talk while eating, this is my wife's own cooking, not I boast, the taste is guaranteed to be more authentic than a five-star chef!"

Hearing this, Old Zhou got up and said, his tone couldn't hide the deep pride, and it could be seen that the old couple must be very affectionate.

"I've been thinking about Grandma Zhou's cooking skills for a long time, and today is just the time to feast. ”

When he went to the restaurant and looked at the table full of exquisite dishes, Gu Jiahua said in admiration.

"If you want to eat, eat more, come often in the future, and I'll make it for you." Old Madam Zhou smiled lovingly.

She has an elegant and gentle temperament, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, and it can be seen that she is also a knowledgeable intellectual.

"Haven't I been staying at my grandmother's house for the past few days and are reluctant to leave?" Gu Jiahua said with a rare joke.

"Hello Grandma Zhou!" Zhao Tianming also greeted politely.

"You're good, Xiao Zhao, right? I heard the old man say that you are all promising young people, and in the future, the inheritance of antique cultural relics will depend on you. ”

Mrs. Zhou was also very kind to Zhao Tianming, and smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down.

During the banquet, Zhao Tianming learned that Mrs. Zhou was a cultural relics scholar, very successful in the study of cultural relics, and had made many new discoveries.

It's a pity that, like most people, their son has little interest in this aspect, and he has been up and down in the business sea early, and every time Zhou Lao talks about him, he looks like he hates iron but not steel.

There are countless delicious things in Gusu, and they are very distinctive, many of them are eaten according to the season, usually everyone's mouth, always say, it's time to eat XX again, and you can eat XX soon......

The cuisine of Gusu is also one of the four major cuisines of Huaiyang cuisine, however, the various flavors are different, and Su cuisine is a little sweet, and some people will not be used to it.

Zhao Tianming himself also eats sweet, but it is very appetizing, a squirrel osmanthus fish, a catfish lung soup, which is full of praise. There are many other dishes that he can't name as well.

Unfortunately, now is not the time, he wants to try the famous Yangcheng Lake hairy crab. On the market, ninety percent of the hairy crabs are fakes, I don't know if the local ones are authentic?

The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal, making people feel as if they were back at home, and Gu Jiahua and Zhao Tianming also helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

After the meal, Zhou Lao took Zhao Tianming to visit his collection, and Gu Jiahua naturally accompanied him.

Zhou Lao's collection is much less than that of Liu Lao's house, and most of them are calligraphy and painting works. Zhou Lao used to be the president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and in terms of time and money, he naturally couldn't compare with Liu Lao.

In the past, Zhou Lao did not have much free time, and most of his life was spent improving himself, doing research, and maintaining calligraphy and painting cultural relics. In terms of the protection of various cultural relics, they also paid out of their own pockets and spent a lot of money.

Many of the construction of his garden were also carried out by his son out of his own pocket, or even on his own initiative.

In addition, many of Zhou Lao's precious collections were also donated to the Gusu Museum, so that more people in the world can see their brilliance and understand their history, rather than cherishing their own brooms and hiding them for appreciation.

Zhou Lao's behavior has been admired by many people, and many people think that it is very stupid, and it is better to leave his own things to future generations and donate them to the country, and not to be touched by people? Many precious things are hidden from people to visit, and doing so much will not help at all.

Even his son laughed at his hot face and cold ass.

However, for many years, Zhou Lao has been taking care of himself, ignoring what others think, and being his own. It is precisely because of this that I understand this kind of respect that I do not comment on other people's ideas.

There are a lot of collections in it, which are only collected after Zhou Lao retired, and his son has collected a lot of them, and he often uses this to invite merit and show off. He plans to donate most of it when he dies.

Anyway, he left it to his son, he didn't know how to appreciate it, and he didn't have to worry about their lives.

On the contrary, that kid often stuffs himself with money, looking like a wealthy nouveau riche, which makes people annoyed when he sees it, and in front of his old friends, he is embarrassed to say that he is his son, which is too embarrassing!
