Chapter 45: Old Photographs

Yamanaka Ren saw Feng Lie, and said with a sincere smile on his face: "It's really an honor for our Yamanaka family to let you come to my small shop, please take a seat!"

Feng Fan Lie looked at the study room of Yamanaka Ren, and saw that there were several pots of spider plants in this study room of about forty square meters. The shelves are filled with all kinds of Fuso books.

Feng Fan Lie smiled at Yamanaka Ren and said, "I came to your country and heard from my colleagues that your antique shop is the leading old store in Fuso. I came to visit, and I ask Renjun to forgive me for my abruptness. ”

The words of the demeanor made Yamaji Youren listen to the feeling of being a confidant. He hurriedly bowed to Feng Fan Lie and said, "I'm really sorry that you rushed over so far, I don't know what Mr.'s name is?"

Feng Fan Lie said: "My name is Feng Fan Lie, I have liked these antiques from the previous dynasty since I was a child, and I have been collecting in our country for several years, but there are a few good things. When I arrived in Fuso, I heard that the Yamanaka antique shop in Osaka was famous, so I brought some antique photos that I had collected to the owner and asked you to take a look. ”

Yamanakahito's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Sit, please sit down, let's have a good bottle of wine today!"

Yamanaka Ren and Feng Yeol sat down. Oshimai had already brought four side dishes, and then, he respectfully brought a bottle of wine, looking at his appearance, what he was holding in his hand did not look like wine, but like a rare antique.

For Oshimai's cautious appearance, Yamanaka Ren is very satisfied.

Among the four dishes brought by the antique shop is tempura, which is fried in a pan to a golden brown and dipped in soy sauce and mashed radish to make sweat.

In addition to tempura, the other three side dishes are a plate of rice balls, a plate of meatloaf, and a plate of salad, which are the best dishes for drinking alcohol in the eating habits of the Fuso people.

In the perception of Fuso people, rice balls are the most basic food and the most important food. These rice balls are triangular in shape and are wrapped in a sheet of dried seaweed. There is a pickled sour plum in the rice ball, but it is the favorite of the Fuso people.

The meatloaf is a beef patty made with breadcrumbs, eggs, and onions, and a tomato sauce with various flavors added during the frying process.

In the salad plate, there is tofu and ham, and green edamame beans are peeled and placed on lettuce leaves, and the red sauce is poured over them.

"Fan Liejun, these four side dishes are my usual favorites, and this bottle of wine is not much monk wine in Fusang. Come, let's have a drink with the two of us!"

While Feng Fan Lie was looking at the dishes on the table, Hitoshi Yamanaka had already opened the wine.

The arrangement of the study room in the mountains is different from the custom of the Fuso people, who are accustomed to sitting on the floor and sleeping and eating on tatami mats.

This study of Yamanaka Ren is arranged like that of the Chinese people, and there are chairs, tables and other objects that seem strange in the eyes of the Fuso people.

Yamanaka's study furnishings are related to the antique business of Yamanaka's family, and they have the impression that the living utensils of the Chinese people are excellent, especially many of the furniture is valuable antiques.

After a long time, the Yamanaka Ren family became accustomed to the living utensils of the Chinese people. This made other antique dealers who maintained the cultural habits of Fuso contemptuously call the Yamanaka family "Shina Yamanaka" behind their backs

Of course, this is just their name for Yamanaka Ren behind the scenes, and on the surface, they all have respect for this family.

Yamanaka Hitoshi is a man who is willing to spend a lot of money at a critical time, which is also their family tradition, a hundred years ago, Yamanaka Jiro took all his money out in China in order to get a clue to the bronze tripod. On that occasion, his harvest established the Yamanaka family's status as an antique dealer in Fuso.

This time, Yamanaka Ren took out this bottle of antique-grade wine that he was usually reluctant to drink in Oshimai's surprise, and he wanted to get some useful information from this Chinese antique dealer.

Feng Fan Yeol took a sip of the wine in the glass, it was the first time he had drunk Fuso sake. The taste is good, the degree of Fusang liquor is much lower than that of Huaxia liquor, and the taste has a faint sweetness.

Yamanaka Ren looked at Feng Lie's face, and saw that his face showed a very happy look, so he couldn't help but lift his glasses and said with a smile: "Fan Liejun, this wine is not easy to drink even our nobles in Fusang, this wine is an antique-level wine." ”

Feng Fanlie nodded and said, "It tastes good, this is the first time I've drunk your Fusang's wine." The taste of Fusang wine is different from the taste of our Huaxia wine, it has a rice aroma, slightly sweet, and the taste is really good. ”

Hearing that Feng Fan Lie said that this was the first time he drank Fusang wine, Yamanaka Ren became interested: "Fan Liejun, we Fusang people like sake, and the liquor you Chinese people drink is really higher." ”

Feng Fan Lie nodded: "Fuso's sake is really good, I must bring some back when I go back." ”

Yamanaka Ren laughed: "I have wrapped your wine for you." However, there is only one bottle of this sake, and I will give you another selection of the best tasting sake in Fuso country. ”

The two drank another drink, and Yamazhongren looked at Feng Fan Lie and said, "I don't know what Fan Liejun wants me to see?"

Feng Fan Lie took out a few photos from his pocket and handed them to Yamanaka: "I received a few good things that I want to sell to the buyers I want, you can help me take a look." ”

Yamanaka Ren happily took the photo handed to him by Feng Fan Lie, but when he looked at it, he said to Feng Fan Lie with a suspicious face: "These are the things you received." ”

Seeing Feng Fan Lie nodding, Shan Zhongren suddenly felt a pain in his flesh, and he was in pain with the bottle of century-old monk wine that Feng Fan Lie had drunk.

He found out that the self-proclaimed Chinese antique dealer was probably a liar, and he saw that the things in the photos were worthless ordinary ornaments, and the so-called Chinese antique dealer showed him as if he had obtained a treasure. ”

Feng Fan Lie smiled and said to Yamanaka: "Of course, the photos are some ordinary decorations, and I want you to see these photos." ”

After listening to Feng Fenglie's words, Yamanaka Ren suddenly understood in his heart that he had made an oolong, and he would like to think that this antique dealer from Huaxia asked him to see the things in the photo, who knew that what people asked him to see was the photo itself.

Yamanaka Ren looked carefully at the photo in his hand, he shook his head and said to Feng Fanlie: "Our family has been in the antique business for a hundred years. But I haven't studied these old photos for a long time, so what is this?"

"I heard that there is an antique dealer in Fuso who specializes in buying and selling old photos, and my first stop was Osaka, and I heard that your Yamanaka antique shop is a famous antique shop in Fuso, so I came to visit ............"

Listening to Feng Fan Lie's words, Yamanaka Ren's heart moved, and he knew who the antique dealer Feng Fan Lie was talking about who was the Yamamatsu family in Tokyo.

Over the years, the Yamamatsu family, for some reason, has acquired old photos. For what the Yamamatsu family did, Yamanaka secretly laughed in incomprehension, what is the value of old photos.

"Fan Liejun, let me ask you, what is the value of this old photo? Our mountain family has been in the antique business for more than 100 years, but we have not been involved in this aspect. ”

In order to gain a foothold in Fuso, he did a lot of homework, and he learned that the Tokyo Yamamatsu antique store has been collecting some valuable old photos. He also learned that the Yamanaka family in Osaka and the Yamamatsu family in Tokyo had been fighting each other. So he spent a million yuan to buy these old photos and came to Osaka.

Feng Fanlie said: "Old photos carry some memories of civilization like antiques, and now there are more and more people in the world who collect old photos, and there are fewer and fewer valuable old photos. In this way, valuable old photos have become some rare means of investment. In addition to these precious photos, I also revealed one more thing to my colleagues in Fuso, not long ago, a batch of precious bronzes were unearthed in Huaxia. ”

The demeanor of the fierce words, suddenly hung up the interest of the mountain Zhongren, Yuan Xingye's Yuzhou Ding is a bronze, could it be that this batch of bronzes has something to do with that Yuzhou Ding?

The imagination of man is boundless, and from the words of Feng Lie, Yamanaka Ren thought of many things.

While Feng Fan Lie and Yamanaka Ren were talking in his study, Yamao Taro and Ying Hengtian were also drinking and talking in one of the rooms of Yamanaka's antique shop.

When Feng Fan Yeol arrived at Yamanaka Ren's antique shop, the two of them had been here for almost two hours.

Taro Yamao has been going around in circles asking if he can still get the kind of bronze he sent to Minamoto Yukino last time. Minamoto Yukinohara is exchanged on any terms.

Minamoto Yukino told Taro Yamao that if Kanayama came to Fuso again, he would use all means to buy or exchange Kyushu Ding from him - he was willing to agree to all conditions.

got one of the nine tripods of Yuzhou, and the high-level of Yuan Yukino and Fusang were ecstatic. Those who get the nine tripods get the Kyushu Tianyi, and now Fusang has got the Yuzhou Ding, one of the nine tripods. Doesn't this represent some kind of providence, is it that God has given Fusang a chance to compete in the world of China.

Ying Hengtian found Taro Yamao, originally asked him to introduce himself to a famous Fuso gang, Ying Hengtian wanted to enter Fuso's gang, he wanted to use the gang as his foundation, and then tried to do something to mess up Fuso.

William let the two of them enter Fusang and do some big things in Fusang, nothing more than let the two of them cause chaos in Fusang as much as possible. In Ying Hengtian, it is a good idea to enter the gangs of Fuso, use the gangsters as a fulcrum, and then pry Fuso.

For Taro Yamao's repeated inquiries about the news of Kyushu Ding, Ying Hengtian gradually became impatient: "Yamao-kun, I told you. Now that I am no longer an intermediary in Huaxia, I have come to you Fuso as a great Korean citizen, and I declare once again that I only know what I told you about the Kyushu Ding. ”

Seeing that Ying Hengtian was a little angry, Yamao Taro said with a smile: "Okay, okay, just don't mention it." I'm also doing this for the sake of Jinshan-kun, hello. If you think about it, you must have gained a huge benefit as a middleman last time............"

Seeing Ying Hengtian's eyes, Yamao shook his hand again and again: "Don't say it, don't say it." You just said you want to get into the Fuso gang. I'm wondering why you think this way. That kind of place is not a place for people like you and me to enter. ”

Ying Hengtian said impatiently: "Yamao-kun, I want to ask you how you can enter the gangster of Fusang. ”
