Chapter 54: One hundred thousand young masters of the tea mountain
"Shopkeeper Qi, why are you arrogant?" Xiao Ding said with a smile: "When I was fasting, there were dozens of people present, who didn't know that your eyes were like torches, and you could see the truth at a glance. ”
"Huh?" Qi Xiang was stunned: "It's an exaggeration." ”
"It's not an exaggeration at all." Xiao Ding explained: "Shopkeeper Qi, you left early at that time, and you didn't hear the praise of those masters. They feel that your level is not much different from theirs. ”
"There's even a master who says they can overpower you now with just experience. If in a few years, you have experienced, you should turn them over. ”
Xiao Ding said respectfully: "Shopkeeper Qi, listen, even if everyone doubts you, you can't help but believe the evaluations of several masters." ”
When Qi Xiang heard this, his mood was quite complicated, and he was silent for a moment before he sighed: "That's the masters of virtue and art, and they are promoting the younger generations, don't believe ......it."
"Whether you should believe it or not, everyone knows in their hearts." Xiao Ding smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Qi, I'll say it directly." The person who asked you to help palm his eyes is willing to give you 50,000 yuan of carriage money first, and after reading the painting, he will give you a red envelope of 500,000 yuan. ”
"This is the master's market, very kind." Xiao Ding said softly: "Shopkeeper Qi, if you have time, let's go." Why don't you make money when you have money, right? ”
"Hmm......" Qi Xiang groaned and asked, "Where to go, is it local or foreign?" ”
"Out of town, but not far." Xiao Ding hurriedly said: "It's in Wuxi!" ”
Wuxi, known as Liangxi in ancient times, is one of the important cities around Taihu Lake and is known as the pearl of Taihu Lake.
Since ancient times, Wuxi has been a very prosperous and prosperous city, known as the cloth wharf, the money wharf, the kiln wharf, the silk capital, the rice market, and is a national cultural and historical city.
Under the escort of Xiaoding, Qi Xiang came to Wuxi. To be exact, I came to the outside of Wuxi, a mountain stretching endlessly, in a very wide tea plantation farm.
Xiao Ding introduced in a low voice: "100,000 tea mountains, thousands of tea farmers, from picking to processing, to sales, forming a complete industrial chain ......"
"The person who asked you to look at the painting is the largest tea merchant in Wuxi...... Young master, Zhu Qiao! ”
Xiao Ding said softly: "This young master Zhu and Zhu Shen, the only son of another huge rich man in Wuxi City, are collectively known as Da Zhu Xiaozhu, Wuxi Shuang...... Ahem, Twins. ”
"All in all, this Zhu Zhu is a young man...... The wind review is still good, but the personality is a little ...... Impatient, is a quick temper. If he collides with you in a while, Shopkeeper Qi, you will let him ......"
Xiao Ding took a preventive shot: "Shopkeeper Qi, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, for the sake of money, you have to bear with me." ”
Xiao Ding didn't know why he said this.
After all, Qi Xiang also eats this line of food, so between ushering in and sending him, he must be very sophisticated, and he doesn't need to be repeatedly persuaded and reminded.
Xiao Ding felt very confused, but he inadvertently glanced at Qi Xiang, and he immediately realized.
After not seeing him for a while, he felt that Qi Xiang seemed to have undergone some changes. Although the person is still the same person, the temperament is completely different from before.
Xiao Ding suddenly felt that Qi Xiang no longer seemed to be a sleek and sophisticated antique dealer, but a noble person with a very rich background like Hai Gongzi and Mr. Tian Shi, which made him feel that he couldn't be offended.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding also felt strange, could it be said that after people have money, their temperament can also change quickly?
Xiao Ding was puzzled, at this time, the two also came to the gate of the tea house, and when they saw the heavily guarded security guards, he immediately closed his voice with interest and showed a bright smile instead.
"Hello two big brothers, we are guests called by Zhu Shao, please go and report it."
Xiao Ding looked at the few big wolf dogs at the door, and his legs and feet suddenly became a little weak. If it weren't for the fierce wolfdog chained to the railing of the iron gate, he would not have dared to take even half a step closer.
Perhaps he had already been instructed, and a security guard looked at the two of them a little, and then directly opened the gate to let them go.
"Go in." The security guard pointed with his hand: "The young master is on the mountain, and I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”
"Oh......"
When Xiao Ding heard this, he hurriedly whispered to Qi Xiang and hurriedly walked towards the mountain.
The tea house is very large, with a stretch of buildings, covering four or five hills. The houses are either unpretentious, elegant and chic, or magnificent, and are distributed according to the mountain-shaped topography, constituting the current large-scale building complex.
This complex is home to many tea farmers.
These tea farmer residences, surrounded by a luxury villa, are like stars holding the moon, impregnable.
Qi Xiang walked and watched at the same time, feeling that the owner of this tea house was too smart. If anyone has bad intentions, he will definitely have nothing to hide and will be encircled by the broad masses of the people.
After walking for half an hour, the two came to the luxurious villa on the top of the mountain.
The villa has no walls, just a low fence and vines, and even the door is not locked, and the gate is open.
The villa is in Western form, but full of Chinese style.
The gate has five steps, and there is a majestic stone lion on the left and right.
The lion is very domineering.
Under the eaves, two big red lanterns are also hung. In addition, the vermilion lacquer-colored gate is inlaid with densely packed copper nails that shimmer with metallic light......
All the layouts are no different from the big families in ancient times.
The combination of Chinese and Western villa structure does not look vulgar, but gives people the impression of elegance and vulgarity.
When he came to the bottom of the steps, Xiao Ding was still not at ease, and couldn't help but say more: "Shopkeeper Qi, I'll ...... you later."
"I know." Qi Xiang laughed: "I'm here to see the painting, not to be angry with him, why are you so worried?" ”
"Ahem......" Xiao Ding hesitated, and finally told the truth: "Shopkeeper Qi, I'm not worried." I heard that that Zhu Shaozhu has a changeable personality and is capricious. ”
Coaxed him to be happy, he was generous and did not hesitate to reward him. But when he was upset, he immediately turned his face and didn't recognize people, and threw people directly into Taihu Lake......"
Xiao Ding sighed lightly: "Full of gentlemanly style, notoriously pampered, difficult to serve." ”
"Huh?" Qi Xiang frowned: "Before you came, why didn't you say it?" ”
Xiao Ding suddenly smiled awkwardly, and avoided talking about it.
Qi Xiang glanced at him, and naturally understood his careful thoughts. The reason why I didn't say it was because I didn't want to offend Zhu Qiao, and I even saved the idea of making a commission.
Knowing that Qi Xiang was unhappy, Xiao Ding hurriedly remedied: "Shopkeeper Qi, you don't have to think about it, just look at the painting carefully." I'll take care of the rest. ”
While speaking, Xiao Ding hurriedly went up the steps, then turned back and smiled: "Shopkeeper Qi, let's go in, don't let Young Master Zhu wait any longer......"
At this time, Qi Xiang didn't bother to bother with him, and followed into the villa.
When you enter the door, a row of wide screens immediately catches your eye.
Qi Xiang looked at it intently, and saw the frame of the screen, which was a slightly black log color, which looked very much like a black acid branch. The screen of the screen is a snow-white silk cloth.
On a fan of plain silk, there are embroidered images.
The twelve hairpins of Jinling, one by one, are enchanting, graceful beauties, embroidered in different postures in the screen, very delicate and gorgeous, leaving a deep impression.
Bypassing the screen, there is a spacious living room.
Needless to say, the luxury of the living room can definitely be described as resplendent anyway.
At this moment, a young man with a round face, a watermelon cap hairstyle, and a little handsome, sat in a Taishi chair with a big grin, he stilted Erlang's legs, and held a small and delicate teapot in his right hand, looking leisurely and complacent.
In an instant, Xiao Ding's face showed a smile that was brighter than flowers, and he nodded and said, "Zhu Shao, we are here." ”
“…… Why did you come here? ”
This young man is naturally the young master of the tea house, Zhu Qiao. He squinted, his gaze swept over Xiao Ding and Qi Xiang, and he didn't stop at all, and then he picked up the teapot and took a sip lightly.
"Zhu Shao, don't blame us, there is a traffic jam on the road......" Xiao Ding explained with a smile.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and look at the painting." Zhu Qiao pouted and said, "I'm busy, I don't have any time to talk nonsense with you." ”
"Yes, yes......" Xiao Ding nodded again and again, wishing for this. After looking at the painting and getting the money, he immediately flashed.
This attitude is indeed a bit bad......
It's no wonder that before entering the door, Xiao Ding repeatedly advised.
"I knew I wouldn't come...... Qi Xiang frowned slightly, then laughed at himself and shook his head gently. In this world, there are many good things that make money by standing.
"Shopkeeper Qi, come and see this painting." Xiao Ding beckoned, and the scroll rested on the table next to him.
Qi Xiang glanced at it, and saw that the picture scroll was quite long, at least two feet.
The painting is rolled, and one shaft has two feet, which is the width. Generally speaking, according to the proportions of the painting, the length of this scroll will definitely not be less than three feet.
Qi Xiang converted it in his heart, and suddenly became a little more interested. It is indeed rare to see such a large-scale painting.
"Huh?"
At the same time, Xiao Ding untied the straps of the scroll, and then carefully unfolded the scroll and slowly spread it on the table. He looked down and suddenly exclaimed, as if shocked.
"What's the situation?"
Qi Xiang's heart moved, and under curiosity, he couldn't help but walk over. He took a closer look and was immediately stunned: "What's the matter, why is this painting blank?" ”
The unfolded scroll is very long, at least four feet. From the outside, the scroll is very finely framed, and the mounting material is fine satin, soft and silky.
The paper with the heart is very delicate, the texture is very dense and white, and it looks like a first-class paper.
"No...... right"
Qi Xiang stretched out his hand and touched it, and immediately came to a new conclusion: "This is not paper, but cloth, silk cloth!" ”
