Earth Fire Chapter 79: Althea's Identity (2)
71. The identity of Althea (2)
"-Althea!"
Yumi exclaimed, startling Dimache and Emily, Dimahi hurriedly took out his mobile phone and hurriedly said, "Hey, Feng! What was that just now?"
"It's fine. Keep flirting. Feng Jianfei thought about Althea and Pisces Ring, and said casually, but Di Mahi stopped talking, Feng Jianfei also realized that he was a little embarrassed, and cleared his throat, "Do you have a car?"
"Yes. Stop outside the woods," Dimahi came to his senses, "yes! I'll just wait for them by the car!"
"Xu Jin has now monitored your location, because it is not in China, so it took some time, you can follow the road map we sent first. β
"Haha!
Xu Jin: [This two are stunned. γ
Yumi: [Uncle Dimahi is very cute, okay?]
Xu Jin: [Uncle, what kind of uncle, people are only three years older than you. γ
Yumi: [Omitted; slightly!]
Dimahi explained the situation to Emily, and the two spent an hour walking out of the woods and saw four cars parked at the edge of the woods.
"I'm back in the car, but my teammates aren't there. β
Feng Jianfei couldn't explain too much to him, "It's not safe outside after all, you drive a car and come back with Emily first." β
"Huh?" Di Mahi said with a headache: "Feng, have you forgotten that our car is broken." β
"All four are broken?"
"yes. β
Xu Jin's voice came, "It's that it can't be started, is it? The four cars broke down together, and they shouldn't have done anything too complicated, just a trick of petty theft." Dimahi, you do what I said, let's fix the car. β
Although I have not been in contact with auto repair, Di Mahi is also engaged in restoration work, and the repair process is much smoother than expected. Soon, Di Mahi started the car, left a note on the other three cars, told his teammates where he was going, and drove Emily to the Oasis Development Zone according to the route map sent to him by Feng Jianfei.
Solving Di Mahi's problem, but implicating new problems, Lin Hainan said simply: "Find a time, we need to meet with Althea." Yumi, you go and arrange. β
"Yes......" Yumi just responded, and a new message suddenly popped up on the team's PR channel:
γYou have a new commissionγ
Click on it and take a look, it's still anonymous.
[Dear members of the Forbidden City team, your competition is very exciting, your restoration skills are impressive, and now I have a collection in hand, slightly flawed, I hope you can help restore it. At half past eight in the evening, 2 buildings 407 are looking forward to your arrival. γ
"It's now, ten o'clock. Let's go to dinner, and go straight over after eating. Lin Hainan looked at the time and realized that it was time to eat.
Yumi was already hungry and cheered, "I eat pasta too!"
The group went to the restaurant, and after eating and drinking, they set off to Building 2 in the VIP area, and Yumi prayed on the road: "I hope this time is a big deal! Get rid of it! Please, please!"
Came to Building 2 407 on time at half past eight, and the big money didn't see it yet, but he saw Althea first.
Wearing a long blue dress, Althea sat on the sofa, her eyes lit up when she saw Yumi, and then her eyes fell on Lin Hainan, but she didn't stay long, as if she just glanced at Lin Hainan inadvertently. But that's how it seems deliberate, Lin Hainan, as the captain of the Forbidden City team, also has a strong aura, many people will be unconsciously attracted to Lin Hainan, but Althea seems to be afraid of eye contact with Lin Hainan.
"Hello. Lin Hainan greeted: "I am Lin Hainan, the captain of the Forbidden City team. β
Althea nodded and did not speak.
The atmosphere was a little cold, but fortunately, a middle-aged man with a big belly came out of the room, with silver-gray hair, a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and yellow skin, like a Xinjiang native, but he spoke a strange French. A skinny man came out next to him, who was supposed to be an interpreter.
The translator introduced himself: "My surname is Wang. This is the client, Mr. Battista from France. Mr. Batista is a French-Chinese and is very fond of art collecting, especially Chinese culture. Mr. Batista has a collection, but it was broken some time ago, and he asked everyone from the Forbidden City team to help restore it, and as for the payment, Mr. Batista is a very generous person, willing to pay 300,000 votes. β
Team Channel:
Yumi: [It's only 300,000 ......]
Xu Jin: [What about the big money that was good]
Yumi: [I didn't say yes]
Feng Jianfei: [The team channel is all the two of you, why don't you chat privately?]
Yumi: [What! Obviously, you and Brother Lin won't reply to me!]
Lin Hainan: [Be attentive.] γ
Yumi stuck out her tongue and focused her attention on Mr. Batista in front of her.
Batista motioned to his subordinates to take a black cultural relics safer, Lin Hainan and the others put on gloves, and Feng Jianfei opened the box and took out a teapot from it.
"Qiankun pot. Lin Hainan could see at a glance that this was a Qiankun pot.
Feng Jianfei said, "Six." β
It turned out that there were a total of six Qiankun pots, Feng Jianfei took out four, and the remaining two had been broken.
"Liuhe Qiankun pot. β
Mr. Battista was able to speak some Chinese and understand some Chinese, and when he heard Lin Hainan say "Liuhe Qiankun Pot", Mr. Battista was very interested and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Mr. Batista's Chinese pronunciation is also like that of Xinjiang people speaking Mandarin, a little vague, but Xinjiang people are shy, and Battista has a big tongue.
"The so-called 'six harmony' are: body and dwelling, mouth and non-criticism, mind and pleasure, precepts and initiates, seeing and understanding, and benefiting and equalizing. The shape of each pot is not scattered or stiff, and Zhongzheng Anshu can be described as harmonious. The six pots coexist in harmony, and they naturally become one, which can be described as too harmonious. And the meaning of 'Qiankun' is: Only this set of pots is the most in Qiankun. Although the pot is small, it has a function, and it can be said that there is a lot of things inside. Sumeru Nahu mustard seeds: dripping water can contain the sky. Six harmony in the hand, six harmony in the heart, in the chest. Listen to the old man of the mountain: the heart is wide and the world is wide, and the three worlds are the same, also said: heaven, earth and people, and Fu Lu Shouquan. Those who have six harmony should be blessed, high, longevity, wide-hearted, and long-lasting people. Lin Hainan glanced at Batista, "It's a pity," Lin Hainan pretended to shake his head: "The six pots coexist in harmony, and they are naturally the same, which can be described as too harmonious, but it's a pity that two of them are broken." β
Mr. Batista smiled: "This pot was complete when I asked for it, but I accidentally broke two of them the other day. I probably understand what you mean, I understand that six pots together are good. So I specifically ask you to help fix the pot, and if it does, 500,000 votes. Mr. Batista stretched out his palm and shook five fingers. Three of them carry large rings on their fingers.
Team Channel:
Yumi: [Nouveau riche ......]
Mr. Batista also made a request that Lin Hainan say more about the pot, because he was very interested in Chinese culture.
Lin Hainan naturally nodded and agreed, anyway, the other party didn't understand anything, Lin Hainan could just fool around. But Lin Hainan still seriously appreciated the six teapots.
Team Channel:
Lin Hainan: [There is no double fish ring marking. γ
Yumi: [Serious commission.] γ
Xu Jin: [The only marked one is sitting there.] γ
Lin Hainan glanced at Althea quietly, and Althea was sitting precariously, leaning on Mr. Batista's side, looking at the Liuhe Qiankun pot in the hands of the Forbidden City team.
β...... These six pots, one large and five small, the largest one is a wine pot, and the other five small ones are all teapots. China's wine culture and tea culture have a long history, let's look at this big wine pot first, Mr. Batista, do you know that there is a kind of wine in China, called 'Luzhou Laojiao'......?" Translator Wang's thoughts turned in his heart for a moment, and he simply introduced to Mr. Batista: "...... It is a brand of Chinese liquor. β
Mr. Batista asked the translator, "Are you famous?"
Translator Wang nodded: "Almost every Chinese knows. β
Mr. Battista nodded, and Lin Hainan waited for Wang to translate and continue after spending the night:
There are these two sentences in the inscription of Luzhou Laojiao: A tooth and cheek incense, under the tongue suddenly shengjin, turbidity is in Zai, the form and spirit are reinstated; The great wind of the country, the red flag of Haohao's wine, and the endless rush of thousands of miles of rivers, this is Luzhou Laojiao...... Among them, 'the cup is small and big, and the sun and moon in the pot are long', which has a special meaning. β
Lin Hainan opened the lid of the pot, poured some water into it, covered the lid, took out a small cup, poured a little into it, and then turned the lid to the right, and then poured water, but there was no drop.
Mr. Batista looked at the flask in amazement, took it and opened the lid, but it was empty. Mr. Batista thought about Lin Hainan's action just now, and learned to turn the lid to the right, but it was unsuccessful, and the lid did not move at all. Then Mr. Batista twisted to the left again, this time unscrewing, and the water poured out again. Curious, Mr. Batista opened the lid to check the structure inside, and it turned out that there was a bracket under the lid that blocked the water outlet when it was twisted, so that the water would not flow out.
"Interesting. Mr. Batista was amazed.
"The cup is small and big, and the sun and moon in the pot are long", Lin Hainan took the wine jug back and said: "This is the evolution of the words 'the sleeve is big, and the sun and the moon in the pot are long'." "Zengguang Xianwen" was added and deleted by Zhou Xitao of the Qing Dynasty, although there is a sentence "drunk and the sun and moon are long", but it is not the source. Xu Zhonglin's "Romance of the Gods" in the Ming Dynasty is another cloud in the sixteenth episode of "Ziya Fire Burning Pipa Essence": the sleeves are big, and the sun and moon are long in the pot. The so-called 'Inside the Sleeve' is to say that the world is hidden in the sleeve, which is a metaphor for the illusion of infinite changes. β
Mr. Batista showed an expression that seemed to understand, but Lin Hainan didn't care, picked up an intact teapot, picked up the broken teapot fragments, and completed the repair against it.
