81. Dried shrimp in the sea rice is particular (I wish everyone a prosperous tiger in the Year of the Tiger)
Facing Yuan Hui's solemn face and erected index finger.
Wang Yi gasped on the spot, and the whole person collapsed on the chair: "One, one hundred million?!" ”
Now it was Yuan Hui's turn to gasp.
"How much? One hundred million? He was speechless, "Brother Wang, do you have no concept of money?" Can a bronze bell at the end of the Ming Dynasty be worth 100 million? Do you think we are Internet celebrities bringing goods or micro-business shipments, hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn? ”
Seeing that he had guessed wrong, Wang Yi came to his senses: "Isn't it 100 million?" How much is that? Don't be a million, right? ”
It's not that he has no concept of money, it's that Yuan Hui said that this bronze bell is miraculous earlier, which pulled up his sense of expectation.
Yuan Hui rolled his eyes: "It's 10 million!" ”
"But if you can handle the top spring auctions or autumn auctions, it might be worth a little more." He added.
Wang Yi was a little disappointed: "Ten million? That's not much. ”
Yuan Hui said helplessly: "Brother Wang, 10 million is not much?" I'll be honest with you, my father has been frugal all his life plus I have been in the industry for decades, and now my net worth is only about 10 million! ”
Wang Yi pointed to the community next to him and said, "Not really, right?" The villa here is not a few million or ten million? ”
Yuan Hui said: "How can it be so exaggerated? Do you think we're in Qiantang City? There are almost 10 million single-family houses here, but I live in a townhouse, less than 7 million, and I bought it with a loan! ”
Hearing him say this, Wang Yi felt that it was right.
Ten million is not a small amount of money.
The main reason is that he watches TV and watches short videos, which involve antique cultural relics are hundreds of millions of dollars and throw them out, and it is these unreliable experiences that cause him to misjudge the antique market.
There was a knock on the door at the back, and the waiter continued to serve the food.
What sake lees yellow croaker, snow sauce fine-eyed plum boy, crispy arowana, the style of the dish is very fancy, you can see that the chef is very good.
Yuan Hui thought that Wang Yi didn't like seafood, so he ordered barbecue for him.
"You try his large pieces of barbecue and roast pork intestines, it tastes very good, the boss's secret craftsmanship." He greeted Wang Yi.
The barbecue in this shop is all large pieces of tenderloin and pork belly, and if you want to eat fat, you will eat pork belly, and if you can't eat greasy, you can choose tenderloin.
The taste is spicy and delicious, and the fragrance is rich, which makes Wang Yi have a great appetite.
This is a delicacy that cannot be eaten alive or dead in 82 years.
Yuan Hui didn't have much appetite.
He had just eaten dried shrimp, and dried shrimp tasted nothing else.
With its umami pearl in front, Yuan Hui's requirements for the taste of dishes are inevitably higher.
None of the seafood he ordered was original, and although the chef was skilled, each dish was a fancy dish with condiments, which inevitably affected the freshness of the seafood itself.
What's more, Wang Yi showed him a photo of Qihe Zhong, which pulled his attention into his mobile phone, not to mention just a few dishes now, even if there was a seafood lady on the dinner table, he was not interested.
He urged Wang Yi to take him to see the prayer and bell.
Wang Yi waved his hand: "This matter can't be in a hurry, I promised the old man not to announce the news of this bronze bell to the public without his consent." ”
Yuan Hui said: "I understand this, the ownership of this kind of antique is not easy to determine, once the government finds out, it may be 10,000 yuan plus a pennant to take away." ”
Wang Yi was stunned.
Yes, there's this hidden danger!
He asked, "You mean the government will take it into the state, right?" But isn't this five hundred dollars plus a pennant? ”
Yuan Hui waved his hand: "You were fooled by some information and jokes on the Internet, the government is not so stingy, and will subsidize a good price, but since it is a subsidy, it is naturally incomparable with the value of the antiques themselves." ”
Wang Yi said: "That's over, no wonder the old man didn't let me expose the news, it turned out that there was this hidden worry." ”
Yuan Hui came up and said: "It's not impossible to operate, our country can't trade cultural relics, antiques can." ”
"At the national level, the prayer and bell does not have a very unique cultural significance, and it is an object from the late Ming Dynasty, so the control is not very strict."
"And this prayer bell is a little wonderful, it was once snatched by the little devil, and then its whereabouts are unknown, could it be that a patriotic businessman secretly bought it from the little devil officer at that time?"
Wang Yi looked at him.
He smiled slightly: "Don't worry, as long as this kind of antique is not scattered overseas, but only circulated within our country, then we always have a reasonable and non-illegal way to sell it!" ”
"Especially now many businessmen like to donate cultural relics and antiques to the local museum, if the antiques are transferred out from their hands, it will eventually be handed over to our city museum or provincial museum, in this case, we are contributing to the national antique protection cause, not to mention illegal activities!"
Wang Yi felt relieved and said, "That's good, we can't violate national laws and regulations." ”
Yuan Hui gave him a knowing look: "They are all law-abiding citizens, who would risk it for a little money?" If you don't believe me, look at my tax app, I pay my taxes every year clearly. ”
Later, he launched a more fierce offensive against Wang Yi.
Let Wang Yi take him to see the prayer and bell no matter what.
Wang Yi couldn't bear it, so he had to wipe his mouth and say that he was full and ran away with his bag.
Escaping is shameful but useful.
Yuan Hui was depressed.
He lifted his chopsticks and ate them.
The more I eat, the more depressed I become.
Finally, he slammed up and opened the door and shouted, "Old Zhong, what's going on with your dish tonight?" ”
Boss Zhong walked upstairs quickly and asked, "What's wrong?" Are you drunk? ”
Yuan Hui said angrily: "Drunk with a hammer, I didn't drink, what's the matter with these dishes?" It doesn't taste good, did you use dead fish and rotten shrimp for me? ”
Boss Zhong said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, you still don't know my reputation here?" ”
However, Yuan Hui's attitude made him uncertain, so he added: "Why don't I try the dishes?" Maybe my chef drank too much today? ”
He called the waiter to bring a pair of sanitary chopsticks and try them one by one, and then looked at Yuan Hui suspiciously: "Do you want to eat white food tonight?" It's no problem! ”
"Boss, could it be like this?" The waiter interjected.
"Which one?"
"Brother Hui, did you eat that dried prawn just now?" The waiter asked, "It's the kind of dried shrimp I came in to pick up for you." ”
Yuan Hui said: "Yes, I eat it as a snack before serving, and you don't provide pre-dinner snacks here." ”
The waiter said: "That's the problem, boss, the dried shrimp brought by Brother Hui tonight is of good quality, serious wild prawns, I look at it when I get started, it smells really good!" ”
The boss was suspicious.
Yuan Hui was also suspicious: "You kid gave us two and mud, right?" ”
He opened the paper bag of dried shrimp.
The boss grabbed a handful of dried shrimp and looked down at it, and then was surprised: "It's good dried shrimp, where did you buy it?" This is not only dried shrimp, but also dried shrimp with slippery skin, which is indeed dried by wild shrimp, and the sun is very patient, completely sun-baked, and there is no sun lamp at a glance. ”
He sniffed again: "Yes, it's charcoal-grilled." Rarely, where did you buy this good thing? This is the ancient method of drying dried shrimp. ”
Yuan Hui didn't answer and asked, "You're not fooling me, are you?" Is there so much more to be particular about dried shrimp? ”
The boss said: "Of course, it's a lot more exquisite, you don't understand, I'll give you a brief explanation." ”
"Dried shrimp are cooked, you know? So how is it cooked? There's a saying for that. ”
"To put it simply, there are three methods, the first is to cook and steam, the second is to fry and the third is to pickle."
"Steaming and cooking don't say much, stir-frying is to use salt and sea fine stones to fry, like fried chestnuts with sugar; Pickling is pickled and then shipped directly in an industrial microwave oven or large electric oven. ”
Yuan Hui said: "Aren't you going to bask in the sun? ”
"Listen to me," Boss Zhong introduced, "After steaming and frying, it should be basked in the sun, and there is no need to marinate it, and it will be shipped directly into the microwave electric oven." ”
"The dried shrimp on the market now is mainly pickled, why? Because it's fast and efficient! ”
"But there is a problem with pickling, in order to get it in one step, the shrimp has to be marinated and then put into the toolbox, which causes its umami to be suppressed and destroyed."
Yuan Hui understood: "So the serious dried shrimp is steamed or fried and then basked in the sun?" Isn't there no one in the market who does this? ”
"Listen to me," Boss Zhong continued: "This sun must find good weather and continue to bask in the sun, otherwise as long as there is no sun on a rainy day and there is a lot of humidity, its quality will decline, which will cause the taste to be less crispy." ”
"The problem is, the humidity at night at the beach is too humid for anyone to avoid the natural phenomenon of night, right? What to do? ”
"You just said it smelled of charcoal, and that was baking it on a stove?" Yuan Hui guessed.
Boss Zhong clapped his hands: "Yes, the ancient method of drying shrimp has an additional baking procedure." ”
"But now pay attention to efficiency, will use the sun lamp to bake, the sun during the day and the sun lamp at night, so there is no problem with baking, this is the power of science and technology!"
"So after a long time, there is no drying shrimp in the ancient method, which is inefficient and can't make a few dollars. So the question is, where did you get this dried shrimp? ”
Yuan Hui said: "It's all from my friend just now......"
"Is that the handsome guy?" Boss Zhong asked.
Yuan Hui said: "Yes, it's him, he is a mountain walker, he often goes to the outer islands and old villages in various places, and it is estimated that these dried shrimp and dried shrimp are collected in the old villages." ”
"That's right, now only the old people in the old village will dry shrimp like this." Boss Zhong nodded, "There are also shrimps?" Take it out and I'll take a look. ”
Yuan Hui opened the bag of dried shrimp.
Boss Zhong said: "Golden hook sea rice, it's also a good thing, it's still sweet, you grab a bottle of beer in your spare time, and watch short videos while eating and drinking, it's much better than eating potato chips and melon seeds!" ”
He pinched a few and tasted them: "You give me his contact information, tell him, I want to see if I can buy some of these goods from him." Or let him help go to the old village to buy it, and I'll give him a good price! ”
Yuan Hui immediately understood what he meant, and said, "How many dishes are you going to make in the name of ancient methods?" ”
Boss Zhong smiled: "It's not an ordinary dish, it can be a signature dish!" So you can help me contact him, and if it happens, I'll take out these signature dishes and treat you to eat them first! ”
Yuan Hui said: "That's okay, I'll help you ask, maybe it's really okay." ”
