Chapter 164: Birthday Banquet

A group of people looked back at the two old men and nodded to the second elder, on this occasion, the seniority of the ancient and Cao Lao is the highest status, everyone is a scene person, you can not give Lotte face, but the face of the second elder still has to be given.

But after everyone saluted, the second elder walked to the crowd with a smile, and Cao Lao said: "There are really a lot of people here today, I started looking for it from here, but I didn't expect Xiaotian to be here." ”

A group of people looked at each other in surprise, but they didn't understand who Xiao Tian was referring to in Cao Lao's mouth.

Lotte smiled and said respectfully: "Old Cao misunderstood, there was something wrong just now, so I was late for a while." ”

"That's what I said."

Everyone looked at Lotte chatting with Cao Lao blankly, but they really didn't expect that this unsightly kid was so familiar with Cao Lao.

Just when everyone was surprised, Gu Gu took the brocade box in Old Man Zhang's hand and said:

"Can I see what it is?"

Old man Zhang hurriedly retracted his thoughts and said respectfully: "Of course, you can look at the ancient ones casually. ”

After handing over the brocade box to Gugu, Old Man Zhang looked at Gu Gu in even more surprise and asked:

"Uncle Gu, do you know him?"

"Hahaha." Cao Lao laughed, and at this time, Gu said: "I thought it was something, it turned out to be a copper coin from the Daqing Town Treasury!" ”

A group of people in the antique world sighed for a while, the ancient is really Taishan Beidou, seeing such a cherished copper coin, he can be so calm, really well-informed.

How do you know that the ancient then said with a smile:

"Xiaotian, you just take this and give it to your future father-in-law, the gift is a bit light, right?"

"Of course not." Lotte explained: "I have already given this copper coin to Yun Fang, and this is also a gift from Yun Fang to her father, and my gift has not been taken out yet!" ”

The old man looked at Old Man Zhang with a smile and said:

"You're so blessed, my daughter can find such a good boyfriend as Lotte, you don't know how many people are so greedy!"

"What do you say about the old saying?" Old man Zhang was a little stunned, and after asking a difference, he looked at Lotte suspiciously, and he didn't see any difference in this kid.

With the same idea as Old Man Zhang, there were other onlookers, especially the relatives of the Zhang family, no one spoke at the moment, after all, the feeling that Lotte gave them now was like a fog, and they couldn't understand it at all.

Cao Lao also saw everyone's doubts, and said with a smile:

"Why, Rakuten, didn't you introduce yourself?"

Lotte was a little embarrassed, "There's nothing to introduce, I'm just a poor boy who can't eat, a low-level person who lives by picking up garbage." ”

Lotte's words were full of irony, and most of them were counterattacks in response to the attitude of the Zhang family.

But how did the second elder know what had just happened, and the ancient returned the copper coin brocade box and said:

"What did you say about it, you don't know yet, Lotte is the tea taster who I co-branded with Cao Lao."

"Huh?" Old Man Zhang was dumbfounded.

"Ahh Cao Lao patted Lotte on the shoulder and said approvingly: "Don't look at his young age, this experience and vision are not ordinary, better than me!" ”

"That's not to praise him." Gu Gu continued: "In this circle now, there are really few tea tasters who can make us both admire, but Lotte is definitely something that we dare not underestimate, and we can see through the Tao in the antiques at a young age, and our vision is much brighter than our two old men." ”

"That's an exaggeration." Under the praise of the ancient, Lotte repeatedly tactfully pushed.

"Alas, what an exaggeration." Cao Lao muttered, "If you hadn't met Yun Fang first, I would have wanted to introduce my granddaughters to you." ”

"Grandpa Cao." Zhang Yunfang showed a delicate face.

The two elders, Zhang Yunfang and Lotte looked at each other and smiled, but the faces of the other people around them were ugly, especially the relatives of the Zhang family, who were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a crack in the ground at this time.

In this circle, people who can be praised by the second elder like this seem to have really never heard of it, and today is really unprecedented.

The ancient changed the topic and looked at the old man Zhang and said: "Xiao Zhang, you don't know, among the tens of thousands of copper coins, Lotte can pick out the most valuable one, when I was asked to deal with it, I had the heart to come, but Lotte just didn't let go, and I couldn't bear to cut my love, but I didn't expect it to be a birthday gift for you, hahaha." ”

Old man Zhang felt hot when he was holding the copper coin brocade box at this time, and he looked at Lotte seriously, and he didn't think he was so eye-catching, but it was much more pleasing to the eye.

Zhang Yunfang hurriedly said: "Dad, you can accept this gift, how to say it, it is also a piece of my heart with Lotte!" ”

With the steps, Old Man Zhang had no choice but to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and said with a smile: "I'll take it, ah, which one, Li Letian, uncle, thank you for the gift." ”

Compared with before, Old Man Zhang's attitude had a 180° turn, and Zhang Yunfang was the happiest, holding Lotte's hand and trembling with excitement.

"Uncle Zhang doesn't have to be so polite, I helped pick out this copper coin from the Daqing Town Treasury at Zhang Yunfang's expense, and I didn't pay a penny when I finally picked it up, this should have belonged to Zhang Yunfang, don't thank me!"

Old man Zhang was a little embarrassed, he had heard of the origin of this copper coin, it was rumored that Zhang Yunfang followed a friend to visit an antique shop and missed a rare copper coin, but no one really knew the specifics.

However, when Lotte said this, he put the copper money out of his relationship, and in this kind of scene, it was equivalent to a slap in the face, which made the relatives of the Zhang family finally find an excuse to mock.

"What do you think of his attitude?"

"It's just that young people are just ignorant and can't speak."

The relatives of the Zhang family were chattering in the back, and the old man Zhang was a little embarrassed, and then remembered Lotte's identity, and found an excuse and said: "Lotte is a tea taster recommended by the second elder, right, just come and appreciate these things." ”

In fact, Lotte was just about to take out the painting tube and prepare to send it out, but this time it was a mess, so I had to wait a little longer.

Old man Zhang catered to the second old man and walked towards the treasure appreciation seat, others crowded behind, and the group walked to the pile of gifts, there are many peers in the antique industry here, and Boss Qian is also among them.

He first greeted Old Man Zhang and said, "Brother Zhang, you are returning with a full load today!" There are so many treasures, enough to open an antique shop. ”

Old man Zhang responded with a smile, and Boss Qian saw Lotte in the crowd, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Lotte is also here, Yun Fang is preparing to take Lotte to meet his parents?" Ha ha. ”

Boss Qian looked at Old Man Zhang with a smile and said with a smile: "Your Yunfang is really a blessing, Lotte is definitely a potential stock, if I have a daughter, I can get Lotte in my hands if I say anything." ”

"Uncle Qian, you're kidding me again." Zhang Yunfang said with a blushing face.

"Little money!" Cao Lao said with a calm face: "If you talk in front of children, you can't pay attention to proportion? ”

Boss Qian smiled awkwardly, looked at Old Man Zhang and said, "You are still blessed!" ”

The old man of the Zhang family has never come back to his senses from just now to now, so many people are praising Lotte, and they don't understand what is the difference between this kid Lotte?

Just when he was confused, another vote came not far away, led by the old man of the Wang family, accompanied by Wang Guoqiang and a group of relatives.

"Xiao Zhang, you have a big birthday today, and I didn't prepare anything for you, this Zheng Banqiao's word, you have always said that you like it, and I will give it to you as a gift today."

Old man Wang smiled and handed over the calligraphy and painting to Old Man Zhang.

"Brother Wang, you see, I'm a little embarrassed."

Old man Wang looked at the old Cao Lao and bowed his hand to salute and greet, but when he saw Lotte in the crowd, his eyes froze, and his smiling face suddenly showed a resentful look.

This sudden change made everyone present a little confused, and many people looked back and forth at these two people, and they didn't know what grievances these two feuded with.

Old man Wang was still a little determined, he was the first to come back to his senses, smiled at everyone embarrassedly, and then glared at Lotte resentfully, and then continued to greet everyone.

Cao Lao opened Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and paintings, looked at them appreciatively, and then turned his head and said, "Xiaotian, come and have a look." ”

When Lotte came over, the Wang family's face was so embarrassed, although they didn't say anything on the scene, but the resentful eyes still made some people find the clues.

When Lotte walked over to look at the calligraphy and painting, Wang Guoqiang said on the side:

"If you have the chance, take a look at it, I guess you will rarely have the opportunity to see the real thing in your life!"

Lotte didn't speak with a gloomy face, and the ancient Cao Lao Qi brushed his head and said to Old Man Wang: "Xiao Wang, take care of your son, is there a place for him to speak?" ”

Although Mr. Wang's face was embarrassed, he also agreed with his son's statement, after all, the person who appreciated the gift was his enemy.

"Ancient, my son is right, this real work is not something that anyone can see if they want to see it, you are always the Taishan Beidou of antique calligraphy and painting, needless to say, what can this kid understand? It's just a matter of having fun! ”

Cao Lao rolled up the painting with a dark face, put it back in the painting tube and said: "You, the older you get, the more you go back, and the millions of paintings you give away are regarded as if you can fly?" ”

As he spoke, he handed the painting to Old Man Zhang and continued: "Take it away, we look down on the kindness given to you by the Wang family." ”

Old man Zhang hurriedly relieved the embarrassment and said, "What did Old Cao say this, Brother Wang is definitely not targeting you." ”

Old Man Wang also hurriedly explained: "Old Cao, I made a mistake, I really didn't say it to you just now. ”

Cao Lao still said with a gloomy face:

"It doesn't matter who it's aimed at, it's not right, ah, as long as your Wang family has real works, as long as you can be willing to give it away, right, let me tell you, at this birthday banquet, the really valuable paintings haven't been taken out yet!"

When Cao Lao spoke, his hand happened to be patted on Lotte's shoulder, and everyone looked sideways at Lotte, seeing that he had been carrying a painting tube, and they also understood what Cao Lao's words meant, that is, the gift given by Lotte was more valuable.

At this time, Wang Guoqiang stopped doing it, and said mockingly: "Grandpa Cao, are you laughing?" Just because he can still send the real thing, even the modern imitation is estimated that he can't afford it! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone nearby understood that the Wang family and Lotte must have had a holiday, otherwise they must not be able to go toe-to-toe on this occasion, but most people understand that there is a good show to watch now, just see how Lotte responds!
