Of all the Canadian cities, Ottawa is the quintessentially British.

As Qin Shiou was driving along the Rideau Canal, a Royal Mounted Police officer dressed in a red tunic and wearing a black cylindrical military cap stopped him, telling him that there was a pedestrian street in front of him, and sports cars and off-road vehicles could not enter.

In this way, Qin Shiou turned the head of the car and found a fast food restaurant to eat while waiting for Little Black.

Qin Shiou asked for two servings of pork belly rice, one large and one small, as well as some snacks such as grilled scallops and cheese cakes, and the handsome waiter smiled and asked when he came up to deliver the food, "Are you here to play?" ”

"Yes." Qin Shiou nodded.

The waiter immediately promoted the restaurant's drinks: "Then you must try our baby-duck wine, it tastes great, if you come to Ottawa and don't taste baby-duck, it's like - it's a very presumptuous question, what is your home country?" ”

"China."

"Okay, it's like going to your China but not climbing the Great Wall, it's such a pity."

Qin Shiou laughed when he heard the waiter's words, he spread his hand and said, "Man, I really want to taste this glass of wine, but you know, I came by car, so I can't drink." ”

The waiter smiled and said, "I won't instigate you to commit a crime, but in fact, sir, you are too worried, baby-duck is an aperitif, drink a glass before driving, even if the RCMP finds out that you will not say anything, because they like to cross the street and arrest people)'. ”

Hearing his words, Powell laughed, but Qin Shiou didn't understand what was funny in it.

Powell wandered in Ontario. Knowing a lot about these things, I explained to him: "'baby-duck' used to be the name of a sticky sparkling wine. Ontarians love to drink it and consider it a good wine. Later, a very famous wine taster said that if the police drink a glass of baby-duck. After walking down a street, you will be completely sober, and you can catch the bad guys if you are sober. ”

"Yes, baby-duck is just crossing the street and arresting people)', you're a cop after you drink it." The waiter added with a smile.

Qin Shiou thought about it for a while, and little Blake came over immediately, so he didn't drive himself, so he said, "Okay, man, I've been persuaded by you." Please help me with a 'baby-duck'. ”

Ontario's wines are famous throughout Canada, and the rest of the world is treated as a joke by the international wine industry.

Qin Shiou ordered Riesling white wine, which was expensive, and only one glass was worth the meal between him and Powell.

But the high price and high-quality service, the glass of Riesling he ordered was fragrant and slightly acidic, fresh, soft and warm, and not heavy at all, no wonder the waiter said it was the best aperitif.

Qin Shiou tasted it here. Little Blake arrived, and after sitting down, he sniffed the half-drunk glass of white wine, and smiled: "You can enjoy it, you must have checked this restaurant before you came, right?" Its baby-duck is quite famous in Ottawa. Give me a little too. ”

"No, I can't drive after I'm drunk, you'll have to drive later." Qin Shiou hurriedly said. Canada's traffic laws are very strict, and getting caught drunk driving is not a matter of deducting points. It's about not wanting to touch the car again for a year.

Little Blake waved his hand indifferently and said, "Is baby-duck also considered wine?" No. It's a soda, and I can drive to Grebel to get an award with a bottle. ”

After drinking, Qin Shiou left a tip of twenty yuan and left with Little Blake, who had already arranged a hotel for him to stay, a five-star hotel called 'B&B'.

The hotel is a luxurious Victorian modern building, with six top-of-the-line rooms, decorated in six different national styles, including Florentine style, Indian style, etc., and of course Qin Shiou lives in ancient Chinese style rooms.

People who are more familiar with Qin Shiou know his character of liking enjoyment, and they are quite particular about arranging food and accommodation for him.

"I would have liked to take you to the inn, which is one of the oldest inns in Ottawa, founded in the eighteenth century, with cantilevered ceilings and wooden floors, and also comfortable. But after choosing, I think this ancient Chinese style room may be more in line with your temper. Little Blake explained.

Qin Shiou asked how much the price was, and Little Blake smiled: "I just made 10 million with you, and you arrived in Ottawa, how could I let you spend money?" ”

After resting in the hotel, Qin Shiou and Powell went to the mall in the evening, bought some snacks and came back to watch TV, and the next day Little Black found someone to pick them up and go to the auction site.

Qin Shiou was not interested in porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, statues, ornaments, etc., he just wanted to see his red coral pearls.

The pearl was placed in the center of the left side of the exhibition hall, which indicates that the value of this auction item should not be low.

But Qin Shiou was not sure, because in the middle of the exhibition hall belonging to the most expensive art booth was a very bad oil painting, which was just smeared with yellow, orange, and red dyes on a piece of oilcloth, and in his opinion, this thing was worth two yuan, and it could be used as a rag when it was taken back and washed.

In this way, since the most expensive works of art are all in the shape of this bird, the value of the pearl placed on the side should be lower, right?

Of course, now Qin Shiou is a person who has seen big scenes, and he knows that art can't be judged by appearance, so the price hasn't come out, and he won't stupidly characterize that oil painting.

Billy also came to the auction as the nominal owner of the pearl, but he arrived on the same day and didn't know what happened to the family.

After arriving, he found Qin Shiou, pointed at Chaozhu and whispered triumphantly: "Look, I'm not bad, right?" ”

It's really not bad, Qin Shiou has seen it just now, the pearl has been polished, it is no longer dull, and a layer of pulp has appeared on the surface, and it suddenly feels like this thing has been played with for many years.

In addition, a poem was written on the big bead in the center of the pearl, and Qin Shiou didn't understand it after studying it for a while, so he picked up the introduction page next to it and read it.

According to the introduction page, this pearl was worn by a Qing Dynasty commander in the Xianfeng period one hundred and fifty years ago, and the commander of the five battalions of the Jiumen Infantry Army was worn, and its value was immeasurable.

The commander of the five battalions of the Admiral Nine Infantry Army was an important official position in the Qing Dynasty, and now it is Mao Weilong's boss of Lao Tzu, the director of the Kyoto Public Security Bureau, who belongs to the first product, and the pearl worn is the pearl of red coral texture.

The name of this first-class officer who was used by Billy was Jiang Linzhao, a native of Talu Province, who started with military merits and was one of the main generals in the fight against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The poem on the pearl is called 'light cover in the gallop, Yuheng is in the wings', Yuheng is the name of the Jiang Admiral, he took this poem and asked a very famous sculptor at that time to carve it on the pearl. (To be continued......) R1292
