Chapter 7: Atay

Looking at the diners full of pits and valleys, Wang Daoyi swallowed his saliva with difficulty, it was too fragrant, but after touching his pocket, Wang Daoyi still turned his gaze, stayed in the ruins for a month, and after coming out, he had a meal in the Millelith Army camp, and there was no Mora in his pocket now.

If he didn't get rid of the antiques in his hand as soon as possible, he would be sleeping on the streets tonight.

In the kitchen of Wanmintang, Xiangling was cooking in full swing, and Master Mao on the side was giving Xiangling some work to arrange and cut vegetables.

As the little chef of Wanmintang, Xiangling's craftsmanship has been praised by the vast majority of customers, as long as Xiangling is in Wanmintang, most of the customers will name Xiangling's dishes.

In this regard, Chef Mao seems to be enjoying it, and perhaps his daughter's dishes are welcomed by customers, which makes Chef Mao happier than his own dishes.

And why is it overwhelmingly well received, but not all?

Because the little chef often makes some strange dishes for regulars and friends to taste, these strange dishes generally make it impossible for regulars and friends to tell whether Xiangling is tricking them or really experimenting with new dishes.

After making a boiled black-backed sea bass, Xiangling took the dish and handed it to Master Mao, glanced outside Wanmin Hall, ready to see how many guests there were, and just saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man at a glance, who was drooling in the direction of Wanmin Hall, looking at the young man's embarrassed look, it was estimated that he was in difficulty.

Xiangling thought, but her hand didn't stop, another dish was put into the pot, and her attention turned back to the stove.

When her hands were not busy, Xiangling looked in the direction of the young man just now, but found that the other party was no longer there.

"When you're done with it in a while, let's go out and have a look, and if you don't have anything to eat, invite the other party to eat your latest researched dishes!"

The thought flashed through my mind, and I immediately threw myself into the new dish again.

Difficulty to control his appetite, leaving from the door of Wanmin Hall, Wang Daoyi finally found the antique shop that Xing Xi said, a small shop, full of goods, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, it does look more like an antique store than Xingxingzhai.

Ah Tai sat in the shop, a little idle, in fact, at the beginning the master asked him to guard the shop, he was very happy, after all, a effortless, as long as the errand to show off to passers-by, although it is not a fat difference, but it is easy and effortless, and it can also be called a beautiful difference.

But this is undoubtedly a boring errand, the old man has not sent a new treasure for a long time, and everyone around knows that things here will not be sold, and no one comes to listen to his show-offs.

Sitting in the shop bored day by day, Atai felt that his life was being wasted.

Suddenly, he saw a teenager walk into the shop.

Well, it's a newcomer.

Atai's mood was like a rainy sky, quickly clearing.

"Yo! Let's take a look! Each of these pieces is a rare treasure! ”

Wang Daoyi knew that this person wanted to show off to him, but he didn't interrupt him, but asked cooperatively:

"What do you have here?"

"Yo! If you're interested, I'll give you a good talk-------"

Immediately, Atai took a bottle from the back container,

"You take a look at this bottle first, don't look at the general color, but this year is a long time, this one can be worth half of the Tiger Rock!"

Looking at Wang Daoyi's interested face, Atai seemed to have found the first pleasure, and took out an incense burner and a teapot from behind,

"Look at this small incense burner again, it is said that it has been worshiped in front of the statue of the rock prince for thousands of years, and it has long been contaminated with fairy wind and aura!"

"And this teapot, it's the teapot that Lord Yan once used, it's unique."

Watching Atai begin to introduce (show off) these antiques in a steady stream, Wang Daoyi felt his stomach constantly send out hunger signals.

Had to interrupt out loud.

"Big brother, I know the value of these antiques, and I also know that you are here to take a look, I heard from Miss Xingxi of Xingxingzhai and came to you to sell antiques."

“...........”

Ah Tai, who was interrupted from casting the spell, looked unhappy, but when he heard that it was Miss Xingxi's introduction, he reluctantly put on his smile again.

"Miss Xingxi introduced it, then come to the back room and see what kind of treasure it is!"

As he spoke, he led the royal road to the back.

When he came to the back room, Ah Tai seemed to have adjusted his mentality, and the smile on his face was a little more real.

"Take out your treasure and put it on this table, let's not do it!"

Atai pointed to a square table next to him, and motioned for Wang Daoyi to put the treasure on the square table and not hand it to him directly.

Wang Dao nodded a little, this is a bit of an antique trade in the previous life.

Opening the treasure bag, he took out two cups wrapped in strips of cloth and a bone china bowl.

After thinking about it, he took back the cloth bag wrapped in the bone china bowl and took it back to the treasure bag, he remembered that the information introduction of the bone china bowl noted that the bone china bowl had some magical effects, it might be an extraordinary item, and it might be used in the future, so it would not be sold.

Placing the three antiques on the table, he gently unwrapped the cloth strips, revealing the appearance of two treasures.

The animal head agate cup is made of excellent materials and carved by skillfully using the beautiful color texture of jade. The body of the cup is in the shape of a horned beast's head, and the beast's double horns are the cup handle. The mouth is inlaid with a gold cap, and the eyes, ears, and nose are all delicately depicted.

Inlaid turquoise dragon tooth cup, cup height 30.5 cm, diameter 11.2 cm, mouth wall thickness 0.1 cm. The dentin is white and jade-colored, and there seems to be blood flowing inside. The upper part of the open lip is thin, the middle part is slightly convergent, the lower part of the abdominal cavity has a rounded bottom, the bottom is slightly smaller than the mouth, and the body of the cup is inlaid with turquoise.

Atai can be appointed by his master as the shopkeeper of the antique shop, and his vision is naturally there, looking at the two cups that Wang Daoyi took out, he was instantly attracted to his attention.

"This is, the treasure of the ancient return to the collection, tsk, orange and yellow, milky white agate on the red ground of the sauce, with clear layers, appropriate shades, crystal fresh and moist, this is the best agate cup."

Slowly picking up the beast head agate cup, Atai felt it gently.

"The round carving technique is made, and the shape is vivid and beautiful. The cup is curved in shape, like a lying beast's head, there is a sense of naturalness, this is a rare treasure! ”

Reluctantly putting down the beast head agate cup, Atai looked at the turquoise dragon tooth cup next to him, compared to the magnificence of the agate cup, the dragon tooth cup seemed a little unremarkable, however, Atai did not underestimate it, with his eyesight, at first glance he could see that the material of this cup was a bit like the dragon teeth flowing from the Snow Mountains of Mondstadt.

"Its color is like jade, with blood color inside, it is at room temperature to the touch, tsk, even if this is not a dragon's tooth, it is also a rare tooth."

Ah Tai put down the dragon tooth cup and looked at the two treasures, revealing a look of embarrassment, in front of these two treasures, the antiques he had just shown off seemed to have a feeling of loneliness.

"These two are rare treasures, they may be priceless, I don't have the authority to set the price, to trade such a valuable treasure, I have to report it to the master, and at the same time, I have to find a master to identify."

A hint of excitement appeared on Atai's face, he hadn't been so excited for a long time, if the master bought these two treasures, then he, as the shopkeeper of the antique shop, would not be able to appreciate these two treasures carefully.

"If Mr. Xiao decides to sell these two treasures, then I will go and inform my master, can I?"

"Since you are here, you naturally want to sell the baby, but the shopkeeper is going to invite your master, how long will it take to go this time!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, my lord invited Zhongli Keqing from the Death Hall to drink tea and listen to books at Tian Tiezui today, just beside him, please wait a while, I can call the master back with just a cup of tea!"

!!!???? Zhongli ???
