A group of people walked over with a gas lamp to take a closer look, the dust and cobwebs all over could barely make out the general outline of the object, Jia Lei looked left and right, picked up a wooden board from the ground, picked up the cobwebs and gray webs on the hill, and asked everyone to pick up a few pieces of cloth from the ground that could not be seen color, and picked a small jar to wipe together.

"Two catties of flower carving. Jia Lei looked at the words on the cleaned jar and read it.

Isn't this the most common wine jar in costume dramas, Jia Lei took the wine jar and shook it vigorously, and the sound of water came out of it.

"There's actually wine in there!" said the director of China Merchants Bureau in surprise, if it weren't for the fact that he wouldn't have come to such a place to accompany foreign guests, he didn't expect to have an adventure.

"I remember that the comrades of the housing management office said that this house seemed to be a restaurant during the Republic of China, and the place where we are standing now is the wine cellar?

"That's exactly what it says on the deed, but I didn't expect there to be wine in this cellar now! It's strange that the people of the magazine didn't take it away?" said the old comrade, who also glanced at the papers.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were only two owners of this house, and the unlucky magazine was Jia Lei's predecessor, dragging the blessing of the leader who was afraid of rats, and Jia Lei picked up such a big bargain for nothing.

"This is wine before the founding of the People's Republic of China! At least, it is also an old wine that is more than 40 years old, and it must taste very fragrant!" A cadre in his forties at China Merchants Bureau endured his saliva and said, and when the others heard him say this, they all stared at the wine jar in Jia Lei's hand with bright eyes, Jia Lei quickly turned his head and looked at the wine jar piled up in the corner of the wall like several hills.

"Those who see it have a share!" Jia Lei said with a proud wave of his hand, this is an old rule that has been passed down for hundreds of years!

Fortunately, there were not many people who came this time, that is, Mr. Boer and his assistant, the director and secretary of the China Merchants Bureau, the two comrades of the Housing Authority, plus the translator and Fan Ping'an, there were only eleven people in total, and this still counted the two drivers waiting outside.

Jia Lei is distressed and needs to scatter his wealth if he wants to die, otherwise others will be red-eyed. This wine is hush money!

Everyone picked out all the cobwebs on the wine jar together, and wiped the jar wine in the same way. I want to know what kind of wine is available, so that everyone can pick a jar of their favorite wine to take home!, but let me declare first - the jar the size of the water tank in the corner and the wine on the middle shelf do not count. You can pick the rest of the wine, 30 catties or 50 catties of wine jars as long as you can move them. Jia Lei covered his heart and said painfully.

The words must be spoken in front, otherwise someone will move the wine vat away, and they will not have the face to ask for it back!

Jia Lei didn't look at the heart-wrenching scene of everyone picking wine, and took the rags in his hand to the two rows of large wooden shelves in the middle of the wine cellar, and secretly rubbed one of the chic and exquisite white porcelain wine jars.

These two rows of tall shelves served as the pillars of the wine cellar, which could only be built so high!, but now the other shelves were empty, and only one shelf full of wine jars was left.

Jia Lei counted how much wine was left on the shelf one by one, and was almost tripped over the iron block of the ground protruding under his feet, Jia Lei looked down! On the ground were actually several iron pillars poured with molten iron, and they were deeply rooted in the ground at one end and the other protruding from the ground to fix the wooden frame in place, and they would never let the wooden frame fall down.

Only then did Jia Lei realize that the two rows of shelves were placed in the same position as the load-bearing wall on the previous floor!

＊＊＊＊

Jia Lei rubbed a jar of good wine, although I don't know what kind of wine it is, but it must be good wine. There are two reasons for this –

First, the wines are placed on wooden shelves rather than in the corners.

Second, the wine on this wooden shelf, the wine jar is relatively small, and the largest one is only ten catties, and it is a hardcover limited edition. It's been the same throughout the ages, and the more expensive things are, the smaller the amount given - is scarcity expensive!

Can a large amount of things be matched with an expensive word?

Jia Lei wiped three wine jars in a row, and he also rubbed out a bottle of tiger bone wine in it, Jia Lei glanced around, and no one found that he secretly took a cloth to cover the jar.

"Come here, I've found the secret room!" Fan Ping'an suddenly shouted on the right, and a group of people all put down their things and surrounded them.

"It turns out that there is such a thing as a secret room!" Jia Lei said when he saw the flipping door that was pushed aside.

The appearance of this door is exactly the same as the wall, but a hole was dug in the middle and a central axis was added, and Fan Ping'an pulled out the two iron pillars that were stuck in the door outside before pushing the door open.

"Do you soldiers have such sharp eyes?" Jia Lei asked as he looked at the forty-centimeter iron pillar that was only three centimeters and the degree of oxidation was more serious than that below.

"I'm professionally trained!" Fan Ping'an looked at him and said, Jia Lei, hehe-he had forgotten that this was a guard in ancient times.

"Why is it that there are empty boxes here except for wood! There is nothing of value at all? Are the secret rooms in martial arts novels all deceitful!" The little comrade of the housing management bureau shouted inside, and Jia Lei hurriedly squeezed in to take a look.

The secret room that originally made his heart beat faster and excited was really like what the little comrade of the Housing Authority said, except for the empty boxes that were opened, there was no imaginary treasure, not even a piece of the ocean!!

Except for the rotten wood all over the floor, the rags and waste paper on the ground—the only thing of value may be one or two hundred jars of wine in the corner.

Jia Lei ran over to take a look, and was even more disappointed!

"Isn't this the same as the Huadiao wine outside!, why put it in the secret room to make people happy!" Jia Lei wiped a wine jar with his sleeve and said disappointed after coming out to see it.

"This may not be a flower carving, you show me the bottom of the altar!" The old comrade of the Housing Authority held up the frame of his glasses and said, Jia Lei obediently handed him the altar.

"This is not Huadiao, it is daughter red! Daughter red brewed in the 27th year of the Republic of China, and the 27th year of the Republic of China is 1938 - this wine has a history of half a century. The old comrade of the Housing Authority looked at the printing of the altar and said.

"But isn't Huadiao just a daughter red? Jia Lei asked suspiciously.

"You're not right! At the beginning, Huadiao did call her daughter red, and her daughter was red - when the main family had a woman full of moon, it was brewed deep into the ground, and when the daughter got married, it was used for the wedding banquet or given to the daughter as a dowry and brought into the husband's house. Take the meaning of red makeup! And the flower carving ......," said the old comrade of the housing management office, and there was a pause here.

"Say it, say it!" someone urged.

"Huadiao takes the meaning of withering flowers, and the earliest Huadiao wine is the old daughter red that the unmarried daughter's family took out and sold. The literati and writers are so elegant and better at wine -- they gave this kind of daughter red a nice name -- Huadiao! For hundreds of years, there has been this kind of daughter red - Huadiao wine brewed for sale money rather than for girls to marry. The old comrade of the Housing Authority said that Jia Lei immediately felt that the name Huadiao was indeed more beautiful than his daughter-

The ancients knew how to play!

"Come here, I've found a baby!" shouted the director of China Merchants, who had gone to a pile of empty boxes to rummage through the story when they had just heard the story.

I didn't expect him to find the baby!
