Chapter 548: Two Foodies
"Dad, look who's coming!"
A moment later, the gate of a separate courtyard was suddenly pushed open, Zhang Chaoyang laughed, and an old man in the courtyard who was sitting on a stool drinking tofu brain also moved, looked up at the gate of the courtyard, and saw Zhou Mingluo who walked in with Zhang Chaoyang, the old man was stunned, and then he got up from the stool, and a trace of excitement flashed on his face, "You, yes...... I remember you, you are...... heart
Excitedly spoke, the old man walked towards the door with a bowl of tofu brain, and his steps were very hurried, which also made Zhou Ming startled, and hurriedly took two steps forward to hold the other party, before he said with a smile, "Uncle, don't walk so fast, be careful." ”
"Oh, my old body is strong." was said by Zhou Mingluo, the old man laughed, and then glanced at Zhang Chaoyang, over there Zhang Chaoyang stepped forward quickly, and waited for the old man to put the bowl in his son's hand, and then went directly to turn over his pocket, "Young man, this is the examination fee, medical expenses, and hospitalization fees you helped me with last time, I have been prepared, when I met you, I will return it to you, you have already helped me so much, how can I still let you help me with this money." ”
Turning out a wallet from his body, the old man directly stuffed it into Zhou Mingluo's hand, but it also made Zhou Mingluo smile bitterly, all the expenses of that time were only a few hundred yuan, I really didn't expect this person to have been thinking about it until now.
"Uncle, there's no need for it, you can keep it."
Xiao Zhou just said no, the old man suddenly glared, "Then how can I do it, take it, this is just to return the medical expenses to you, the rest, well, don't talk about the others, I know that you are rich, and you can't look down on the general things I give you, but I am prepared, by the way, drink a bowl of tofu brain first, I have been drinking the tofu brain made at home for decades, and I am not tired of it, I don't get tired of it, no matter how rich you are, it is not easy to buy it elsewhere." ”
"Little rabbit, why are you going to get the bowl and move the stool!" Couldn't say anything, he stuffed the wallet into Zhou Mingluo's hand, but the old man immediately glared at Zhang Chaoyang, who was still standing with his bowl, and stared at Zhang Chaoyang at a glance, and hurriedly walked to the kitchen.
At the same time, a woman in her forties and fifties came out of the kitchen, although the woman was not young and had a lot of wind and frost on her body, but it could be vaguely seen that she was a beautiful embryo when she was young, and her charm still exists.
"Chaoyang, this is Boss Zhou, I didn't come out of the stall today, I specially made a few bowls, Boss Zhou, you can taste it." After coming out, the woman had a bowl in both hands, one bowl was sweet tofu brain, and the other was salty, which was mixed with tofu brain and spicy soup, and walked towards Zhou Mingluo with a smile, and the two women also smiled and signaled, "The tofu brain is made by us, Chaoyang will grind tofu, we are all selected good beans soaked and grinded, absolutely clean." ”
"Thank you, Aunt Liu, I'll come by myself." Zhou Mingluo had also heard Zhang Chaoyang introduce the situation at home, hurriedly thanked him, and brought a bowl of salty from the woman's hand, and Li Dongyang also took a bowl of sweet with a wry smile.
Originally, the two of them just couldn't shake off their enthusiasm, but they didn't expect that when they each scooped a spoonful and ate it, their eyes would all light up, this thing was really delicious, and it was delicious. of the super-safe of their imagination.
Speaking of Zhou Mingluo, there are really a lot of delicacies that Zhou Mingluo has eaten, he runs around the world no matter where he goes, he is definitely the best reception for local people, and there is no doubt about the food, but how to say it, he is used to eating big meals, and he really doesn't eat much snacks, and the bowl of salty tofu brain in front of him may not be as good as those big meals from all over the world in terms of color, but the taste is really unique, making people feel amazing when they take a bite, salty, fresh, numb, spicy, hot and spicy, soft and spicy, what a delicious taste.
Before, he thought that Zhang Chaoyang and the old man had always recommended their own tofu brain, which had a boasting ingredient, but he didn't expect it to be so refreshing. After taking a bite, Zhou Mingluo didn't care about being a little hot, scooped a spoon and took a mouthful, and quickly ate a bowl of tofu brains, and after eating, he suddenly found that Li Dongyang had also killed all the bowls of tofu brains over there.
"It's delicious, Aunt Liu's craftsmanship is really a must!" After Li Dongyang finished eating, he cocked his thumb and had an aftertaste on his face.
"Hey, there's more, I'll give you more." Aunt Liu also nodded with a smile, took the bowl of the two and walked towards the kitchen, while Zhang Chaoyang and the old man over there all looked at each other with a smile, as if their own bowl of tofu brain could achieve this effect, and they were also very satisfied.
"If Aunt Liu's craft wants to open a store in the downtown area, it must be popular." Zhou Mingluo also sighed with emotion, and after eating a bowl, he was really unsatisfied.
Waiting for a sentence to land, Zhang Chaoyang shook his head with a smile and said, "I also want to, it's that she does this too slowly, every time it's a small pot to boil, only a few bowls at a time, her own craftsmanship, the taste is out, even if you can't prepare much in one night, our family's tofu brain is more expensive than what others sell, others have a dollar, a piece of five a bowl, we have three yuan a bowl, but every day is in short supply, I said let her do it faster, but she can't do it, you haven't seen the situation when he boils tofu brain, it's like taking care of a child, I've been staring at it, not at all
After some explanation, Zhou Mingluo and Li Dongyang were slightly speechless, this Aunt Liu boiled tofu brains so seriously and focused, as if taking care of a child? And every time it is a small pot to boil a little bit, then coupled with the unique craftsmanship, no wonder it can be so delicious.
If that's the case, then these things are not mass-produced running breakfasts, but the brainchild of that person.
But maybe it's too focused, so there's less mass production.
Li Dongyang lowered his head and moved his mouth, it was impossible for the person on the other side to hear what he said, but Zhou Mingluo heard it clearly, what the guy said was such a delicious thing, not to mention three yuan a bowl, even ten yuan a bowl is not expensive.
But he made Zhou Mingluo think so.
As he spoke, two figures suddenly walked out of the kitchen over there, one was Aunt Liu with two bowls of tofu brains in her hands, and the other was a bewitching girl who reached out on the side of the road not long ago and asked Zhang Chaoyang for money.
Seeing that the girl Zhang Chaoyang was still smiling, her face sank, and even the old man's face was a little unhappy, but soon both of them shifted their eyes.
watched Aunt Liu bring over the two bowls of tofu brains again, and Zhou Mingluo and the two were also smiling, and quickly dried up the two bowls of tofu brains.
"Another bowl." Seeing that the two of them were eating happily, refreshingly, and satisfied, Aunt Liu also smiled again and went to pick up the bowl.
Zhou Mingluo and the two are slightly embarrassed now, they really want to eat, but if they talk about it again, will it be a little unsightly, and it will be difficult for two people to come all the way to eat a bowl of tofu brain?
"Hehe~" Seeing the expressions of the two, Aunt Liu smiled again, and left with the bowl, Zhang Chaoyang and the old man were also smiling, but a few meters in front of them, after walking out of the kitchen, they had been standing there suspiciously looking at Zhou Mingluo The bewitching girl pouted at the moment, "Two foodies." ”
After saying this, the girl finally took a step towards the back room.
When the other party said this, his voice was very small, and Zhang Chaoyang and the others didn't know it very clearly, but it clearly fell into the ears of Zhou Mingluo and Li Dongyang, which immediately made the two big men blush, and they were all a little embarrassed.
When the third bowl was done, when they said again and continued to come, Zhou Mingluo and the two of them shook their heads completely, they really couldn't eat anymore, otherwise they would really become foodies.
And three bowls are not less, ordinary people eat so much in the morning, it is estimated that they have some support, so they pushed it a few more times, and seeing that they insisted on not eating, the Zhang family finally put down the topic.
"Young man, eat well, you wait for me when you eat well, I'll get you something, it's a good thing, hehe."
After eating here, the old man over there said with a smile, turned around and walked towards a room, and soon walked out of it again, still holding a gourd in his hand.
It is a porcelain gourd, almost nearly 30 centimeters high, with a variety of colors such as green and yellow, and it looks like a big flower cloth at first glance, and the old man only opened it when he walked with a smile. said, "Last time you saved me once, we definitely can't let you pay the medical expenses, you are a rich man, and I also know that the general thank you is not good, so my old friend will give it to you, this is an antique, I don't know whether it's true or not, but it should be true, I didn't sell it last time someone gave 10,000 yuan, and I have had feelings for so many years, hehe." ”
The old man also handed over the gourd in laughter, but Zhou Mingluo smiled bitterly and waved his hand, he really didn't come today to repay him, it was just to hear Zhang Chaoyang say that the old man always wanted to see him, and he often scolded Zhang Chaoyang for being useless for this, so he came over to run this trip, how could he really ask for a gift of thanks over there?
"Uncle, this can't be done, you can pay me back the medical expenses before, I'll take it, forget the rest, if you do it again, I'll be really angry!" With a wry smile and a wave of his hand in refusal, Zhou Ran fell down and swept the porcelain in front of him, porcelain was what he was best at before, and it was the same now, but after a few glances, Zhou Mingluo was stunned to find that this was really a good thing.
It is a light pastel.
Qing Daoguang period nearly 30 years, but porcelain production has been much inferior to Qianlong, Jiaqing period, in addition to the Daoguang Emperor fired with Shendetang style utensils still maintain the Qianlong, Jiaqing Dynasty level of craftsmanship, other general varieties of quality are not as good as the previous dynasty, this degradation phenomenon, after China experienced the Opium War to become a semi-colony, most of the artifacts of the Daoguang Dynasty are lack of innovation, single variety, coarse carcass, uneven glaze, dull ornamentation, etc., etc., so Daoguang pastel heirloom is a lot, But most of the quality is very poor, and it is too far away from the items of the Kangqian period.
On the spot, this is just the whole, in front of Zhou Mingluo, the pastel gourd of the Daoguang Dynasty, but it turned out to be a good boutique, not only the shape of the inkstone, but also the glaze is smooth, the whole body is covered with turquoise glaze, and the green is painted with a red bat, longevity peach and carica lotus composed of auspicious patterns of longevity.
This is a turquoise ground pastel Fushou pattern gourd bottle, which is a good boutique.
The market price is also very good, at least for ordinary people, if it is a well-preserved turquoise ground pastel Fushou pattern gourd bottle, it can be worth at least four or five hundred thousand yuan.
The only pity is that the gourd bottle in front of me is not too well preserved, there are many subtle flaws, such as slight cracks or notches or something, there are dozens of such flaws, or it is difficult to see with the naked eye, but at the moment Zhou Mingluo's eyesight is thirty times that of ordinary people, even if it is an ordinary glance, it can be like an ordinary person holding a magnifying glass to observe carefully, so at a glance to see those flaws, Zhou Mingluo also sighed slightly, so many defective gourd bottles, even if it is a rare boutique pastel in the Daoguang Dynasty, Its value has shrunk by at least half.
Originally, it could be easily sold for four or five hundred thousand, but now it can be sold for three hundred thousand, so it depends on luck to see if you can meet someone who loves such antiques.
But how to say it, a certain decision made by the old man just now is also very correct, this thing is too correct if someone bids 10,000 yuan and he will not sell it, otherwise he will lose a lot, after all, Zhou Mingluo also sees the Zhang family's family background now, which is very general.
Maybe a few years later, with the development of this urban village, if the Zhang family also built a few floors of small buildings to collect rent, the strip would improve a lot, but after all, it was later, I didn't hear Zhang Chaoyang say that he paid the down payment to his eldest son, and it was still borrowed money.
"Angry? What's so angry about this, you save me, I give some gifts when I thank you, it's normal! However, after listening to Zhou Mingluo's words, the old man over there also had a straight face, and looked at Zhou Mingluo very reasonably, others saved you, you owe the other party a favor, and it is normal to give a gift in return.
Before he said that he wouldn't sell this thing if someone offered 10,000 yuan, not to deliberately show off the value of this thing, but he didn't know the authenticity of this thing, so let's talk about adding some confidence, and when you can't give a gift to thank your benefactor, give it a fake.
He also wanted to find someone to identify it and then give it to Zhou Mingluo, but he had no way to find someone to identify it before, but he didn't know if he could meet Xiao Zhou again.
Yes, being pushed back so confidently, Zhou Mingluo also smiled bitterly again, but he still waved his hand firmly, "Uncle, I know a little bit about antiques, your porcelain is very good, you can thank me if you want to, just let Aunt Liu make me a few bowls of tofu brain in the future, then I will be very satisfied, but you should keep this porcelain, I really can't ask for it." ”
"Huh? Do you know antiques? Is this really a good thing? Hearing this, the old man still wanted to refute, but he was quickly diverted by another concept in Zhou Mingluo's words, and he was even more interested.
"Yes, this is a turquoise pastel Fushou pattern gourd bottle in the Qing Daoguang, it is a fine product, if it is a good thing, it is easy to sell it for four or five hundred thousand yuan, but this gourd does not seem to be very well preserved, but at least it can be sold for two or three hundred thousand." Zhou Ming didn't hide it, he just smiled and pointed out everything, it was just a sentence, and a few people in the Zhang family over there were stunned, and the old man was even more glared, with a slap in his hand, "What?" Can it be worth hundreds of thousands? Sizzle"
......... "Six.
The old man in his eyes may have been too shocked, and his hand trembled a little, and the gourd bottle fell downwards with a swoop, and an exclamation immediately sounded in the yard.
