Chapter 6: The Way
Chen Sanyan said the name of the place, but Zhou Xuan didn't care, and he was always immersed in the joy of hundreds of thousands of huge sums of money in his arms.
Uncle Liu didn't bring out his big smoking gun, after all, it was inconvenient to be long and there, although he didn't smoke it at this time, Zhou Xuan still smelled a strong smell of smoke from him.
The taxi drove for nearly an hour, and the dazed Zhou Xuan noticed: Why hasn't it arrived yet? I looked out the window and was shocked again!
It turned out that I had already left the bustling urban area, and there were mountains and forests on both sides of the highway here, and there was only a street lamp at a long distance, and I couldn't see a single family in the dark.
Zhou Xuan was taken aback!
Is it to be dragged to the countryside and take advantage of the dark moon and high wind to rob him of more than 100,000?
Just when Zhou Xuan was suspicious and cranky, a light appeared in front of the road, with a street sign guiding light, which read: "Ma Lao Erjiazhuang".
After driving for less than a minute, Zhou Xuan looked left and right with a black leather bag after getting out of the car, there are so wide buildings here, but all the buildings are not reinforced concrete but are erected in rows of logs, a bit like a fence wall, but this one is higher and denser, and the top is covered with stone wool tiles.
Zhou Xuan is a little strange, can you eat 5,000 yuan in such a garbage place? It's a black shop like Sun Erniang!
It's not like the restaurants in the city, as soon as you arrive, there is a little sister smiling to greet you, it is simply deserted here, and no one comes out to greet you.
Inside, in addition to a large hall, there is also a small room divided into one by one, but it is still a wall made of log sticks, and the floor is still tiled, which makes people look comfortable.
In the hall, there was a fat man lying on a recliner watching TV, but the TV was playing babbling Cantonese opera.
When he saw Chen Sanyan, the fat man stood up in the recliner and said with a smile: "Boss Chen, you are here!" ”
Chen Sanyan said: "It's a little bit of a trivial matter that has delayed a little time, Boss Ma, let me introduce, this is Xiao Zhou, my little friend!" ”
Hearing Chen Sanyan introduce Zhou Xuan, Ma Lao Er was a little surprised, and he also looked at Zhou Xuan a few more times, in the impression, it seems that Chen Sanyan has never brought a young nephew and friend here, Uncle Liu He knows.
Ma Lao Er led the way and said, "Boss Chen, your two friends arrived early and are drinking tea in the small hall. ”
The small hall that Ma Lao Er said, Zhou Xuan followed in and looked at it, it was funny, this is still a log room, but the walls of the room have been replaced with large bamboos, which looks more elegant, but the lights in the room are a little dazzling, so bright that even the acne on everyone's face can be seen clearly.
There were three people in the room, two half-old men in their fifties sitting at the big round table drinking tea, and a slightly chubby girl by the window was making tea.
Looking at the face and figure of the girl who made tea, Zhou Xuan suddenly glanced at Ma Lao'er, and then looked at the girl, and couldn't help but laugh, the two of them were simply cast in the same mold, and they knew that they were father and daughter without thinking about it.
But seeing Ma Lao Er's expression looking at Zhou Xuan's expression, he shook his head, sighed and said: "Alas, Xiao Zhou, you also think that I am a father and she is a daughter, why do everyone who comes come with this expression?" If it weren't for the fact that my brother and his family were born in other places, I am afraid that I would not be able to clear this grievance even if I jumped into the Yellow River! ”
The girl's face turned red and she said angrily: "Second uncle! ”
Ma Laoer's expression is actually deliberately pretended, his brother's daughter does not look much like his parents, but like his second uncle, so he has liked it since he was a child, and when he grew up, he simply took over his side, one is his niece, the other is very similar to him, and the third is that he has an only son in his family, and his son went to college again, and he took his niece over as a daughter to raise.
Only then did Zhou Xuan know that he had made another oolong, and these two were not father and daughter.
Ma Lao Er beckoned Chen Sanyan, Zhou Xuan, and Uncle Liu to sit down, and her niece had already brought cups and plates with boiling water.
Ma Lao Er snorted and said: "Let's laugh, this is my niece Ma Tingting, but it is indeed for my daughter." ”
The waiter didn't see anyone else except Ma Tingting, Ma Lao's niece, Zhou Xuan muttered in his heart, it's a miracle that such a store didn't go out of business!
In fact, Zhou Xuan didn't know, this Ma Lao Er's farm does not mainly rely on restaurant income, and usually does not receive guests, Ma Lao Er himself is a celebrity in the southern antique industry, and his farm is designed for ancient players as a base for underground trading, except for the acquaintances of the antique line, no one else is accepted.
To put it bluntly, what he does is the auction work, but it is not public but underground, so it has to be done secretly, because it is illegal, so he has no outsiders here, the waiter is a niece, the kitchen is his sister, the outside is secretly monitoring his nephew, it is his wife who collects money, and it is his family who comes and goes, so the security is still very high.
And get together once to start a game, Ma Laoer's income is not low, he charges a commission of five percent on the transaction price of each item, sometimes he sees that he also shoots, and then changes hands, basically when there is no loss, don't look at him here looks cold and withered, his purse is swollen, and his net worth is not lower than Chen Sanyan.
In fact, who can come to Ma Lao Er's place, who stands up is not worth tens of millions, of course, except for Zhou Xuan, this is an outlier!
The fat smile on Ma Laoer's face was piled together, if there was not a trace of slit in those eyes, others would still think they were smiling with their eyes closed.
Ma Tingting was still boiling water in the transparent glass cup, and Ma Lao Er said again: "Boss Chen, the pangolin I got back yesterday is eight catties and two taels, count it as eight catties, the old price, one thousand five thousand catties, ten thousand twelve catties." ”
Chen Sanyan smiled faintly, pointed his finger on the log table, and said, "Peel the skin and put it in the pot!" ”
Ma Lao Er snorted again and said, "You guys talk first, I'll arrange it." ”
Zhou Xuan was secretly frightened at this time, look at these people one by one, their faces did not change, including the little girl Ma Tingting, 12,000, just one meal, my mother, the 170,000 yuan in the black leather bag in her arms is not enough for them to eat for a week, at first I thought it was a chic and generous throw of 5,000 yuan, who knows that it is really not enough, fortunately I didn't say that I insisted on him to pay, otherwise I would have to hurt again, besides, pangolin, it is illegal to eat this thing!
Today, Ma Lao Er is not doing an underground transaction, it is a pangolin that Chen Sanyan wants to entertain his two old friends and specifically asks Ma Lao Er to order, which can be regarded as Chen Sanyan's private dinner.
Chen Sanyan only introduced a few people at the table at this time, in fact, his two old friends and Zhou Xuan didn't know each other, and Uncle Liu was an old acquaintance with them.
Chen Sanyan's two friends, one named Xu Wangcai, and the other named Wu Cheng, are both old men in their fifties and almost sixty, don't look down, but if you want to take out three or five million, you won't blink an eye, and in the Yangzhou antique industry, it is also an old-timer who has been crawling for decades.
Listening to Chen Sanyan's serious introduction of Zhou Xuan, Xu Wangcai and Wu Cheng both looked at it in surprise, but then retracted their eyes.
Zhou Xuan is indeed inconspicuous, and there are few people who are too young today to make them look at it, there is no hair on the mouth, and the sentence is really good, today's young people, those with good family backgrounds are spending Lao Tzu's money to pick up girls to do bad things, doing everything is not doing a good thing, the family background is not good, and there is no opportunity to contact the upper class society with money, the antique industry, let alone young people, is not the young people can play, that is, they are immersed in this industry for decades The old guys still miss the eye, let alone young people.
Ma Tingting placed a set of dark red purple clay pots on the wooden table, the purple clay pot was only the size of a baby's fist, and four small cups of the same color, the cups were only a finger.
Zhou Xuanxin said, this cup can't be filled with one or two, and when you drink it, you may only wet your tongue when you drink it, what's the taste of drinking like this?
Chen Sanyan saw that Zhou Xuan didn't know much about the tea ceremony, so he explained to him with a smile, "Xiao Zhou, don't look at the inconspicuous little water in that glassware, it was brought back from the cold spring of Longshan more than 300 miles away with a special utensil, this tea also has a 'Tao'!" There are a lot of exquisite, ordinary people drink tea, which is to quench their thirst, which is called 'cow drink', but tea tasting is different. ”
Chen Sanyan took the purple sand pot and cup in front of him, used a clip to clip the tea leaves in the small box that Ma Tingting took out, and then put it into the purple sand pot, covered the lid, and there was a small eye on the lid.
Chen Sanyan did these and said: "Make a pot of good tea, not only to make good tea, other such as tea-making water, teapots, tea utensils, must be able to match the tea, in addition, but also to require boiling water utensils and heat, hehe, don't look at the boiling cup water is simple, there are many things to pay attention to, if the boiling water is made of ordinary iron and aluminum products, the water will deteriorate and taste, it is best to use a glass cup, and there are also requirements for fire, and smoke with firewood will contain a smoke smell, the best is alcohol. ”
"The requirements for water are the same, the best water for making tea is cold spring water, ordinary spring water, which can be frozen into a cold spring with a freezer, but the water boiled out after thawing has a slightly spicy taste, and it has a bitter taste after a long time, so this cold spring water is also difficult to find."
Speaking of this, the water was boiling, and Chen Sanyan said again: "Don't make tea immediately after the water boils, it's best to roll it for about ten seconds." ”
