Chapter 60: The wine is not muddy!

Ma Weidu's Guanfu Museum, located in a building in Nanxiao Street, Chaoyang District, is not large, only 400 square meters, and exhibits hundreds of cultural relics.

These artifacts make up only a portion of Mr. Ma's collection, which he opened last year in Hangzhou, where hundreds of more are on display.

And his most precious cultural relics are treasured in his home, and it is easy not to show them to the public.

Mu Rong came to the Guanfu Museum early in the morning and met Liu Yifei's mother and daughter at the door.

They had just arrived.

Zhao Jiping arrived early and chatted with Ma Wei for a while.

Seeing Mu Rong arrive, Ma Wei was very eager, welcomed him into the museum, and personally took them to visit.

Ma Weidu asked him to help identify Song Yu, so he led him to the Song Dynasty cultural relics exhibition area.

Just now when he took the elevator up, Mu Rong looked at the cultural relics all over the venue, and his mood was very wonderful.

Rusty copper coins, dull calligraphy and paintings, old and unglazed glazed porcelain pillows, all kinds of cups, plates and tea cups placed separately, as well as smokers, paperweights, fans and other small objects, these things are cultural relics for people now, but for him, it is life!

Back then, he slept on such a porcelain pillow, Abi would use the smoker to help him warm his bed, and his cousin would grind ink for him and add fragrance to his red sleeves.

But as time passed, these things he usually used casually have become cultural relics treasured by future generations.

"It is said that the family has a lot of money, it is not as good as a Ru kiln, this is a bit exaggerated, in fact, for ordinary people, to have a piece of Song porcelain, it is enough to have a lifetime of food and clothing."

Ma Wei was a little proud to introduce his collection of Song porcelain to Mu Rong.

Looking at him boasting about the various kinds of porcelain in the glass case, Mu Rong's expression was a little strange.

These bottles and cans were all utensils that he used casually back then, and even the kind of Ru kiln porcelain that Ma Wei said, he also broke more than a dozen.

Unexpectedly, by now, these have become valuable baby bumps.

If all the porcelain he broke was put to the present, it is estimated that he could directly announce his retirement.

After thinking about it, he casually pointed to a plate bottle and asked, "How much is this bottle worth now?" ”

Glancing at the pan bottle, Ma Wei explained: "This is the official kiln porcelain of the Southern Song Dynasty, the blue glaze octagonal string pattern pan bottle, if it is worth it, it is estimated that there are one or two million!" ”

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Mu Rong was thoughtful.

It seems that reselling cultural relics is not less profitable than being an actor!

However, Ma Weidu's next words shattered his illusions: "In fact, it doesn't matter how much it is worth, the Cultural Relics Law stipulates that cultural relics before the Yuan Dynasty are not allowed to be auctioned and sold." ”

Mu Rong was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Then where did you get all these bottles and cans from?" ”

Ma Weidu explained with a smile: "I used to collect it in the surrounding countryside, and I also bought it back at some auctions abroad and in Xiangjiang. ”

Auctions?

Mu Rong pondered and asked, "Can foreign countries and Xiangjiang be bought and sold?" ”

"It's okay to go abroad and in Xiangjiang, but not in the mainland."

Ma Weidu smiled and asked, "What?" Want to get two pieces to play with? ”

"There's this idea."

Mu Rong admitted it calmly.

"If you have this vision, you can still have fun."

Ma Weidu said with a smile: "The advantage of the auction is that you may not be able to pick up any leaks, but as long as you are knowledgeable and have a judgment on the market, you can still make money."

However, you can't bring it back after the photo, you can only trade outside, if you want to get it, I can introduce you to a commission company. ”

"Let's talk about it!"

Mu Rong did not continue the topic.

He is now cleaner than his face, what to take to the auction?

Following Ma Weidu to his booth where Gu Yu was placed, Mu Rong took a general look.

He didn't know about the jade after the Song Dynasty, but he could still tell the authenticity of the jade before the Song Dynasty.

Ma Weidu still has a bit of vision in the end, although the age of some jade artifacts is inaccurate, but at least they are all old objects, and there are no fakes.

Mu Rong classified the jade according to the age, and after his classification, the value of this pile of jade did not decrease but increased, and it also rose by hundreds of thousands.

Ma Wei was very happy, and he became more and more enthusiastic about Mu Rong.

In this industry, things are not valuable, but knowledge is the most valuable.

What seems to others to be broken wood, but those who know how to do it can find the value of things.

That's how this line of business makes money.

After finishing the ancient jade, it was noon.

Ma Weidu directly arranged a car and took Zhao Jiping, Mu Rong and his party to an apartment on Fangcaodi West Street.

Parkview Green West Street is located outside the Second Ring Road of Chaoyang District, which is the core area of Chaoyang District, and Wang Shixiang and his wife live in an apartment here.

The apartment is not big, only two bedrooms and one living room.

When Mu Rong and his party arrived, Old Man Wang Shixiang was cooking.

In addition to being a collector, Wang Shixiang is also a foodie.

His reputation for good food is even greater than his reputation for collecting.

He was also one of the three advisors to the magazine when it was launched.

The other two advisers, one is Pu Yi's younger brother Pu Jie, and the other is Wang Liqi, a professor of history at Peking University and a master of Chinese studies.

At that time, Wang Zengqi was not yet famous, and he was still Wang Shixiang's little fan brother.

People who like to eat can cook, and Wang Shixiang is also a master cook.

Knowing that Ma Wei was going to bring his friends today, he went to buy vegetables early in the morning and came back.

However, he did not cook a table of dishes in advance and waited, but prepared the ingredients in advance, stewed the soup, and waited for the guests to come to the door.

After Mu Rong and his party arrived, he went into the kitchen, and after a while, one dish after another was served.

Bothered an old man who was nearly 90 years old to cook and entertain guests, Zhao Jiping couldn't sit still.

Seeing this, Ma Weidu comforted him, saying that this is what the old man likes to do, and he enjoys it, so he should not be restrained.

Wang Shixiang really enjoyed it, every time he served a dish, he would warmly greet everyone to move chopsticks and introduce the subtlety of the dish.

For example, the fish fillet he made is two catties of dace, which is produced in Linhai City, Jinmen City, and is a kung fu dish, which should be eaten while it is hot, otherwise the fish will not be crispy.

In his memory, Murong Fu was a person who never got tired of eating, and he had eaten a lot of delicious food, but Wang Shixiang's cooking skills still amazed him.

Liu Yifei, as a snacker, eats with bright eyes, and can't take care of her image anymore.

For a person who can cook, the gobbling of guests is the greatest compliment.

However, in the midst of everyone's heavy eating, Mu Rong, who was still chewing slowly and tasting carefully, seemed a little abrupt.

"Xiao Mu, right? How? Not to your liking? ”

Wang Shixiang asked with a smile.

"No, it tastes good."

Mu Rong explained with a smile: "These dishes have different flavors, of course, you have to taste them carefully to enjoy the taste." ”

Wang Shixiang was very happy when he heard this, and he asked with a smile: "Then which dish do you think is the best?" ”

Mu Rong looked around, and used chopsticks to point on the edge of a plate of black dishes that didn't look very good: "This dish tastes the best." ”

As soon as he heard his words, Wang Shixiang suddenly laughed, and gave a thumbs up in admiration: "I can eat!" ”

"What kind of dish is this?"

Liu Yifei looked at the black things on the plate curiously, one by one, and was a little puzzled.

The appearance of this dish is really not very good, and it looks easy to be misunderstood, so she just watched it for a long time and didn't dare to move the chopsticks.

Ma Weidu explained with a smile: "This is Mr. Wang's best dish, stewed green onions, you must try it, this is the only one, there is no semicolon!" ”

"Green onions?"

Liu Yifei was very surprised.

Aren't green onions a condiment? Can it be eaten as a dish?

Intrigued, she picked up a green onion covered in sauce and put it in her mouth.

"Hmm!"

Her eyes widened instantly: "It's delicious!" ”

"This dish is actually roasted green onions with sea rice, using green onions to borrow the umami of sea rice, and using the salty freshness of sea rice to enhance the aroma of green onions, although the ingredients are simple, but the taste is by no means ordinary."

Old man Wang Shixiang talked endlessly about eating, while the rest of the people didn't say a word, just buried their heads in eating.

Mu Rong nodded in agreement: "The wine is not muddy!" ”

Hearing his words, Wang Shixiang's eyes lit up, he was very happy, and took the initiative to replace the wine with tea and toasted Mu Rong.

Mu Rong's sentence comes from Lu You's sentence "Don't laugh at the farmer's wine, and stay in the harvest year with enough chickens and dolphins", which means to thank Wang Shixiang for his hospitality.

Because of this sentence, Wang Shixiang immediately remembered him, and then he also greeted him frequently and helped him with vegetables.

After the meal, the guests and hosts are happy.

Drinking hot tea, Zhao Jiping also talked about his intentions.

Wang Shixiang already knew his intentions.

He pondered for a moment before explaining, "My wife's piano is all in the old mansion of Fangjiayuan, and she also lives there to recuperate, so I don't really want others to disturb her."

But you're going to make the soundtrack, and you're also going to do the art, and I can't stop you.

So be it! I'll take you there and meet her.

As for whether she wants to borrow it or not, it depends on her meaning. ”
