Section 227 'Pan pan'

2571 Wallingford Avenue, Beverly Hills, CA.

At five o'clock in the evening, Zhang Jing arrived at Thomas's residence, and what he saw and heard made people's jaws drop, worthy of being an old tycoon and collector, and the house he lived in was no worse than the palace.

The entrance is hidden behind a grove of cacti, holly, and palms, and the entrance building has a red house with two black iron doors that open inward.

The ground is paved with red bricks underfoot, and the road extends all the way to the interior of the estate.

From the periphery, the estate has huge buildings and private grounds, mostly flat, including three Beverly Park lots, 67, 68 and 69.

The large car courtyard with a central fountain in the front yard leads directly to the central hall of the main house of the villa, which is very generous!

"Good afternoon, Miss Candra."

Everyone has a sense of time, and it won't come too early, and it won't come too late.

The guests almost a time came, most of Zhang Jing didn't know each other, only a few acquaintances, Zhang Jing took the initiative to greet Kandela, she was driving a super long version of the Land Rover, I couldn't say the specific model, it looked very domineering.

"Good afternoon," Kandra, who resembles the main character of Tomb Raider, responded with a slight smile, looking at the old man in formal clothes who followed Zhang Jing and asked, "Who is this?"

Zhang Jing introduced Xu Zehong to Kandra, "My assistant Xu Zehong."

Candra didn't ask much, and most of the guests on the scene were assistants, or male and female companions.

"Zhang Jing! Long time no see."

An unfamiliar voice came from behind him, it turned out to be Ralph. Hemmer gritted his teeth in greeting.

Zhang Jing smiled awkwardly, "Long time no see, Ralph. Mr. Hemmer looks more handsome than he did before Christmas in Egypt."

Ralph. Haimer is also a treasure hunter, and in the process of searching for the stone statue of the guard, he was sent to the police station by 13-year-old Zainab for ten days, and he was quite angry.

Referring to Egypt, Ralph. Heimo seemed to be salted by the wound, and he was speechless in anger, turned his back to Zhang Jing, and chatted with the others.

"Hehe~" Noleta, a geologist and a middle-aged woman who is also a treasure hunter, couldn't help laughing, "How did you get married to the honest man Hemer?"

Noletta, who is about forty years old and appears to have loose skin, was previously hired by Thomas to search for pirate gold on the island of Edak.

"A little misunderstanding," Hammer's nickname turned out to be "Honest Man", Zhang Jing greeted Noletta warmly, "You are very beautiful today."

"yes," Noletta said, revealing her beige coat, "I got it from a second-hand store, and it's great value for money."

Zhang Jing didn't make a fuss, buying second-hand clothes is not to say that Noleta has no money, but an attitude to life.

In general, Los Angeles is very similar to the South, dressing casually, it doesn't matter if it's old or new, and of course, there are people who pursue famous brands, such as celebrities and young people from African American communities, who are obsessed with sneakers.

"What did you bring today?" Zhang Jing asked Noletta curiously.

Thomas hosts a sharing party between treasure hunters and buyers, and if something good is available, the treasure hunter needs to bring it to the site.

"I brought a dagger studded with gems," Noletta said triumphantly, "I found it while diving, what did you bring?"

Zhang Jing shook his head, "I don't have anything to trade."

In fact, Zhang Jing can trade a lot of things, but he is reluctant to sell them.

Candra was chatting with others next to her, and shook her head when she heard what Zhang Jing said, she liked Paul Cézanne's oil painting very much, but unfortunately Zhang Jing didn't sell it.

At this time, the owner of the manor, Thomas, who is sixty years old, and his girlfriend in her twenties came over and said warmly, "Everyone is welcome to my party, the food and drinks are ready, please move to the banquet hall."

Unlike the previous two meetings, Thomas changed from his usual appearance, dressed in a formal suit, gray suit, gray trousers, brown leather shoes, and bright headoil.

The point is, when Thomas turned his back to everyone, his big butt wrapped in sheep's tail oil still couldn't be hidden.

More than thirty guests, more than half of them with boxes in their hands or

It's a handbag, and it's full of goodies.

When you arrive at the banquet hall, there is a row of glass display cases in the middle, and each cabinet door has a key hanging on it, and the guests who come with valuables lock the things in it, and the key is in their hands.

Noleta placed the rusty dagger encrusted with gems into a small glass case.

Candra also has something good, a string of pearl necklaces.

Ralph. Haimo actually brought a frying pan without a handle, and what attracted Zhang Jing's attention was that the front and back of the pan were engraved with Chinese characters.

Others also brought many treasures, such as maces used by medieval knights, dragon porcelain, ivory muskets, oil paintings, wood carvings, amber, dinosaur eggs, and so on.

Most of the customers have something to sell, and to avoid being perceived as an anomaly, Zhang Jing locks his watch in a separate glass case.

The watch was given by Ding Jiaqi, deliberately made old, looked very old, without any logo, and bought 200,000 meters.

Until no one puts valuables in the glass case, Thomas loudly announces the start of the party, eats, drinks, chats, and looks at the exhibits, and twenty minutes later enters the bidding session.

As Thomas's voice fell, the banquet hall became lively, with many people getting to know each other and others socializing.

Zhang Jing didn't need to pat anyone's ass, and complained to Xu Zehong, who was dressed in a formal suit, "Thomas is stingy, the food is just some ordinary seafood, bread, and fruits, no Wagyu steak, and no Caspian caviar; The drinks are also very ordinary, why not Louis Champagne?"

Xu Zehong was almost choked to death by the boss, "There are grade Wagyu steaks sold by the gram, and Caspian caviar is a top luxury, who will put unlimited supply at the party?"

"If I have the chance, I'll take you to enjoy real food." Zhang Jing thought of Wen Li, and took Ding Jiaqi to the party she organized for the first time, luxury food is like a hill, and famous wine is like a river, you can eat and drink to your heart's content.

Xu Zehong didn't take it seriously, picked up a glass of Riesling, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "I'll go to work."

"Go ahead." When he spoke, Zhang Jing broke a crab leg and ate the tender meat inside, and brought Xu Zehong out this time, just because he didn't want to miss the good things.

If there is anyone who has the easiest job on the farm and who earns more money, it must be Xu Zehong, who often does not live for two or three months, but as long as there is one time, every time is important.

Xu Zehong came to the middle of the banquet hall with a wine glass, stood in front of the display case, and quietly admired the valuable cultural relics.

Because he is an expert in cultural relics of the Dragon Kingdom, he specializes in the art industry, and Western cultural relics are just a simple look, and when he encounters porcelain, he will stop and study it very seriously, when he sees Ralph. The "frying pan" brought by Haimer was shocked!

People are old and fine, but simply stay in front of the "frying pan" for a while. Under Haimer's gaze, Xu Zehong continued to look at other exhibits.

Holding back the excitement and casually reading all the exhibits, Xu Zehong returned to Zhang Jing's side and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "The exhibit that looks like a frying pan is a bronze vessel from the Seven Kingdoms period, which records the history of a battle, and it is worth your best efforts to buy it!"

Zhang Jing was nibbling on chicken legs and was shocked by Xu Zehong's words.
