"Of course I doubted it, otherwise I wouldn't have been sent."

"My family asked me to go on this trip, just to use my relationship with you and let you help check the authenticity."

Wang Ruyan said helplessly.

is also a little speechless about the various intrigues of the family.

Lin Cheng didn't care.

It's all human nature.

It's just that he thinks that this trip is likely not to be rewarding.

Because things are just so weird.

In the afternoon, the two left the hospital and drove to Pingxian to see the antiques in the story.

At the same time, there are many people in the Jingcheng antique circle who rushed to Pingxian.

Including Luo Tong and Lin Qiyuan.

They all received the same message, and they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune with the idea of picking up the missing goods.

When they arrived in Pingxian, it was already evening, and Lin Cheng and Wang Ruyan were looking for a hotel to check in.

Because it was a bit late, there was only one room left in the hotel.

Lin Cheng scratched his head, feeling that it was a little inappropriate for a lonely man and a widow to be in the same room.

So he decided to change the hotel.

But in this small place of Heijo, there is only one hotel, and the others are ordinary small hotels.

Wang Ruyan was naturally reluctant to stay in those small hotels.

And she didn't want Lin Cheng to live.

The reason is that the two live separately, if Wang Ruyan encounters some danger or something at night, there is no one around to rely on.

Lin Cheng was right to think about it.

Let Wang Ruyan live alone in the hotel, if something really happens, he can't dare to come to save people.

"It's good to open a room at night, anyway, it's a standard room, you sleep in a bed and I sleep in a bed, it's nothing."

Wang Ruyan didn't care anymore, so Lin Cheng didn't want to say anything more.

So I took out my ID card to check in.

Coming to the room, Lin Cheng put down the bag and carefully inspected the room.

See if there's a pinhole camera or something like that.

In recent years, staying in the hotel has made people feel uneasy, and some hotels have been privately installed with pinhole cameras, and a lot of privacy has been leaked out.

"I sleep on the left side of the bed at night, you sleep on the right side, that, you don't snore, do you?"

Wang Ruyan asked a little shyly.

It was the first time she had a room with a man, and at the moment her nervous heart seemed to be carrying a nest of rabbits, and her heartbeat was violent.

"Well, probably it shouldn't be snoring, but I don't know the specifics."

The question of whether he is snoring or not, Lin Cheng really doesn't know the answer.

Anyway, when he fell asleep, he didn't feel like he was snoring.

Wang Ruyan blushed and didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere in the room became ambiguous and awkward.

"Well, shouldn't we go find a place to eat? By the way, take a stroll here and see the scenery of the small county town. ”

"Okay, okay."

The two got out of the hotel and walked around at the pick-up in Pingxian.

Ping County is not economically developed and is a purely agricultural county.

So the scene looks a little bit like it was twenty or thirty years ago.

After a while, both of them had some stomach growls.

After Lin Cheng raised his eyes and looked around, he took Wang Ruyan to a restaurant not far away.

The restaurant looks quite old.

The hanging plaque attracted Lin Cheng's attention.

The plaque with gold characters on a black background reads, Pingxian is unique.

These words don't matter, what matters is the inscription next to it.

The inscription is written with the three words Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang's name can be said to be known to everyone, and many people will scold him when they mention him.

It doesn't matter if his reputation is good or not, the important thing is that this Li Zhongtang once leaned towards the government and the opposition.

Such a powerful figure would really give a word to a small restaurant in a small county town?

What kind of story is hidden behind it.

Lin Cheng is intrigued by this story that may be hidden.

So he took Wang Ruyan into the store.

The restaurant is not big, and it is past the end of the meal at this time, so there are no other diners in the restaurant.

On some greasy walls, a recipe hangs.

The name of the dish and the price are written.

The names of some dishes, Lin Cheng had never heard of before, and they were probably local specialties in the county.

The boss is a bald middle-aged man in his forties.

Wearing a sloppy chef's uniform, he definitely failed in terms of cleanliness and hygiene.

Wang Ruyan frowned slightly.

I was very dissatisfied with the hygiene of the store and the owner.

"Let's eat somewhere else."

"If you come, you will be safe, restaurants in small places are like this, and they can't compare with big hotels in the city."

"You're right, young man."

The shopkeeper grinned brightly.

"We're like this in this small place, and we don't pay so much attention to it."

"The food eaten has to be heated by the pot at high temperature, and anything that is not clean is killed, and there is no problem."

“······”

Wang Ruyan was speechless for a while.

She would love to tell her boss about the importance of cleanliness and hygiene.

But looking at the boss like this, I feel that I am also playing the piano to the cow.

"If you want to eat, you can order your own, I'll go back and buy some bread later."

Lin Cheng smiled and ordered.

He counted according to the weight of two people.

The boss happily went to the back kitchen to work, but Wang Ruyan pouted.

"Why are you ordering so much? I really don't know how to eat, the environment is so bad that people don't have an appetite to eat at all. ”

"I don't think the taste of this restaurant should be bad, let's eat, don't care too much about whether it's clean and hygienic."

"Even if it's a big hotel's back kitchen, it may not be clean, so don't worry too much."

Lin Cheng persuaded a few words, but Wang Ruyan just shook her head.

As long as a woman is hypocritical, she really can't be persuaded to come back.

Seeing that Wang Ruyan's attitude could not be changed, Lin Cheng didn't say much.

Eyes look around the restaurant,

His eyes were drawn to the chopstick cage in the cupboard.

The chopstick cage is made of wood and has a beautifully carved surface.

Lin Cheng squinted and looked at it for a few minutes, and he could tell that the material of the wood was sea yellow.

And from the point of view of carving technology, it is also from the craftsmanship of the Qing Dynasty manufacturing office,

This is supposed to be a royal thing.

Of course, when this thing was royal, it was definitely not used to hold chopsticks, but a sea of pens used to put brushes.

The owner of this shop should not know how to do it, so he uses the sea of pens as a chopstick cage.

"What are you looking at, so distracted?"

Wang Ruyan followed Lin Cheng's gaze, but didn't see any clues.

It's just curious that there are no beauties and nothing, why Lin Cheng is so focused.

Don't you look good at that cabinet of dishes and chopsticks?

"Look at the good thing, you can't fail to see that thing."

"Isn't that just a bunch of ordinary chopsticks? Is there still an official kiln bowl in it? ”

"It seems that you didn't look carefully when you entered the door, the plaque of this store was written by Li Hongzhang."

“！！！”

Wang Ruyan's eyes widened when she heard this, and she got up and prepared to go outside to take a closer look.
