Fang Yu looked at the object in front of him, and a strange look appeared on his face.

"Is this the compensation paid by Shuxianglou for Ma Hao?" Fang Yu stared at the contents of the brocade box for a full five minutes before he looked up and asked Judge Zhong.

"Uh... Yes. Referee Zhong had an embarrassed look on his face.

Today, on behalf of the Culinary Association, he sent the performance compensation submitted by Shuxianglou to Fangyu's shop.

Because the thing was in a beautiful brocade box, and there was a seal on it, he didn't know what was inside beforehand. But judging from the outer packaging, he guessed that it should be an antique or something.

But he never expected that after Fang Yu opened the scene, there was such a thing inside.

Referee Zhong secretly complained to Referee Lai, originally said that he would come together, but just now he was still wondering, he was fine yesterday, why is he sick today. It turned out that he got the news in advance, and he didn't want to wade into this troubled water, so he hid and let himself top the tank, this old guy is really not a friend enough.

But as a representative of the Culinary Association, he couldn't directly slap himself in the face, and he could only bite the bullet and say to Fang Yu:

"Since this thing has passed the appraisal of the Culinary Association, theoretically it should be equivalent to the value of three and a half million. But..."

Referee Zhong was blushed by Fang Yu's old face, coughed and continued:

"After all, this type of artifact is comparative... Alternative," Judge Zhong paused for a moment before finding an appropriate word, "so except for some special collectors, I'm afraid it's not easy to get rid of in the antique market." ”

The more Judge Zhong spoke, the more weak he became, and finally he couldn't help but slap the table and stand up:

"Hey, I'm really holding my breath, Brother Fang, my brother will tell you the truth, you might as well return this thing and let Shuxianglou pay the cash directly."

Fang Yu closed the box with a depressed face, shook his head and said:

"If that's the case, wouldn't that make it difficult for you, brother? It's only 3.5 million, I haven't put it in my eyes yet, I have accepted this thing. ”

"This, how can this work." Referee Zhong looked uneasy, "I've really wronged you." This Shuxianglou is really not authentic, and it is disgusting to find such an object, it is too not a thing. ”

Fang Yu sighed, but comforted Referee Zhong:

"Brother Zhong, don't be angry, in fact, this thing is still quite exquisitely made, and it is also a good collection for our chefs, and I may not suffer a loss if I keep it, maybe it will appreciate in a few years."

"Seeing that you are young, you are more open-minded than me, brother, I admire you. In the future, it will be useful to get the place of the old brother, you can just open your mouth. Hey, I'll go back to the association to go through the handover procedures first. ”

Fang Yu sent Referee Zhong to the door, waved him away, and then jumped back to the store, the gloomy color on his face was swept away, and he almost couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

Lin Xiaoxiao came down from upstairs, saw Fang Yu smiling so brightly, and asked strangely:

"Brother Fang, why are you so happy."

Fang Yu patted the brocade box and said, "Just now, Judge Zhong sent the compensation for Shuxianglou over. ”

"Oh, seeing that you are so happy, you must have sent something good. Let me see. Lin Xiaoxiao walked quickly to the table and opened the brocade box.

"Hey, what's a steamer?" Lin Xiaoxiao was taken aback, looked up and saw that Fang Yu still looked very happy, and couldn't help but touch his forehead.

Although Lin Xiaoxiao's hands were cool and slippery, and it was quite comfortable to touch on her head, Fang Yu still couldn't cry or laugh.

"Xiaoxiao, don't touch it, I'm not sick. This isn't your average steamer, it's an antique. ”

"Antiques?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the steamer in the box curiously and found that there was also a golden certificate pressed inside.

Lin Xiaoxiao pulled out the certificate from under the steamer, and it read "Cultural Relics Appraisal Certificate".

On the left side of the certificate are two photographs of the top and side of the steamer, on the right side are the results of the appraisal, and on the bottom are the names of the experts and the seal of the Sichuan Gorge Provincial Cultural Relics Appraisal Center.

Lin Xiaoxiao took a closer look, and the appraisal results were divided into six items, the name item was written "braided bamboo and wood steamer", and the age was written "Ming Dynasty".

"It's an antique." Lin Xiaoxiao said in surprise, "But this kind of antique is really..."

"It's pretty different, isn't it?" Fang Yu smiled and said, "This is not an ordinary antique, but also a royal kitchenware in the court of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Something in the court?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the certificate in her hand carefully, "Brother Fang, how do you know, it's not written on it." ”

"Uh... I saw something similar, exactly like this one. Fang Yu smiled, thinking that he couldn't say that it was Wei Zhen who told me.

"Is this really worth three and a half million?"

"Yes, maybe it will appreciate in the future, okay, I'll put it on first, and I'll be ready to open later."

Fang Yu was afraid that Lin Xiaoxiao would not be able to answer if he asked again, so he hurriedly hugged the brocade box and ran back to his room in Lin Xiaoxiao's suspicious eyes.

Back in the room, Fang Yu closed the door and sat on the chair with the brocade box in his arms and couldn't help but laugh again.

Just now, when Referee Zhong entered the door with something, Wei Zhen shouted excitedly in Fang Yu's mind, startling him.

Just now, Judge Zhong thought that Fang Yu was stunned by this strange compensation, but he didn't know that Fang Yu was shocked by Wei Zhen's words at that time.

There was no one in the room, so Wei Zhen jumped out of Fang Yu's body and called:

"Don't laugh, get your stuff out and let me take a closer look."

Fang Yu carefully took the steamer out of the brocade box and placed it on the table.

The steamer is not large, with two layers and one cover, and the diameter is about more than 20 centimeters.

The steamer is very finely made, the upper and lower piers are tightly seamed, the outer waist hoop is made of cedar wood chips, not with iron nails, but with rattan binding, and the cage cover on the top is made of bamboo pieces to weave a three-dimensional group flower pattern as a decoration.

Although this steamer is an antiquity of the Ming Dynasty, it has no moths or mildew at all, and its appearance is smooth and translucent, showing a topaz-like color and texture of wood, bamboo or rattan.

Fang Yu stroked the steamer and asked curiously:

"Is this also a Taoist weapon?"

"How is that possible? I'm unique! "What's more, a great avenue will only manifest one kind of dao in a world." ”

Fang Yuqi said: "Then didn't you just say that you felt that something of the same origin as you appeared. ”

"I am a Taoist vessel derived from the 'Tao of Taste', and the same origin with me does not mean that I am a Taoist instrument." "This steamer should have a hint of 'the way of taste', so that I can feel the same origin." ”

"Hey, didn't you say that the 'Way of Taste' belongs to the avenue of smuggling into this world, and you also manifested in the world only after meeting me? For Mao Ming, there are things that are contaminated with the rhyme of 'the way of taste'. ”

Fang Yu suddenly discovered the loophole in Wei Zhen's words, and couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, I didn't explain this to you before. The Tao is simply a kind of law, it never comes out of the blue, it exists in the entire time and space as long as it appears. ”

Out of nowhere, he pulled out a pair of pocket glasses and put them on his mung bean eyes, jumped on the steamer lid and started the class with his hands behind his back:

"Before I manifested in this world, was there no cooking in this world? Of course not.

It's just that before I manifested, in all the time and space of this world, all the things that fit the 'way of taste' were just mortal things. Only when the 'Way of Taste' appears, will they sublimate and become legends in history. ”

Fang Yu listened to Wei Zhen's words, and his mouth opened wide in shock: "Our encounter changed history? ”

Mitsuki nodded and said with a wicked smile:

"That's right, to put it simply, the two of us met, I thought you were good, so I stabbed you, and then the history of this world changed."

Fang Yu closed his mouth, gasped, and nodded, "I probably understand now, but why does your statement sound so awkward." ”

The chopsticks waved their chopstick legs and said with a smile:

"Don't worry about the details, let's get down to business. Those things that have supernatural things because of the 'way of taste' are actually my doppelgangers strictly speaking, and you must collect them whenever you come across them. ”

"Useful?"

"It's useless why I just made you have to leave this thing, not to mention that the Dao rhyme on these artifacts can enhance my control over the 'Way of Taste', let's just say that the artifacts themselves will also have some magical functions."

Fang Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "Do you have this steamer too?" ”

"Of course." Miso replied in the affirmative.
