Chapter 308 Dinner Together

In Capital City, a forty-nine city where rich people are everywhere, Mr. Ji is not ranked among the rich, but he is not a man who is short of money, even if Smashing a few things that cost tens of millions, he would only feel sorry for the broken objects, not the loss of money.

If the Jade Buddha was broken, he would at most feel sorry for the mutton-fat jade being damaged. However, if it was fake, it would not be a matter of money, but a matter of reputation.

Money is a small matter, reputation is a big deal.

It is normal to make mistakes in the antique industry. If you make mistakes when buying, you have paid the tuition, and at most you will be secretly laughed at by the seller who knows about it. However, if you still can’t detect the authenticity after multiple appraisals, wait until you sell it. If it is later found to be untrue, it will be considered a deliberate fraud, which is enough to discredit the buyer overnight.

Mr. Ji stood at the table with a gloomy expression, staring at the water bubbles in the bowl.

There are more and more bubbles in the porcelain bowl, like boiling water, churning, blooming peonies, the sound of cooing is endless, and another flavor gradually emerges from the rich medicinal fragrance. , I can’t tell exactly what it is, like rosin, camphor, tung oil, like..., the complex smell rushes into the nose, which is very choking.

The boiling water spray lasted for about half an hour before gradually weakening. The bubbles burst, and a layer of milky white oil appeared on the water surface in the bowl, which was shiny and shiny.

Ji Lao used two pairs of long tweezers to gently stir the grease. The layer of fat condensed into a thick piece, sticking to the tweezers like a frozen block of mutton fat.

Pull away the grease and take out the Jade Buddha. It used to be mutton-fat jade, with a smooth surface that left no grease. After a bath, it changed beyond recognition and transformed into a tooth-white stone-like thing. His body was severely shrunk, and he was about four inches tall.

The test results are immediately clear whether they are true or false.

When Milo saw a piece of the object taken out by the store, he blinked and felt proud of the little Loli kid, um, um, little Lele is so amazing, not only does he know medicine, but he also has knowledge. The wisdom of gold and jade.

Mr. Ji's face looked very ugly. He put a piece of something into another bowl that had been prepared earlier and washed it. Rinse off the grease, wrapped it in a soft cloth, wiped it clean, and put it aside. , then fish out a round thin jade piece from the potion, rinse it clean, the thin jade piece is as bright as mutton fat, crystal clear and shiny.

It turned out that the little girl’s judgment was correct. The Jade Buddha was fake, and only a piece of jade less than seven millimeters below the base was real mutton-fat jade.

After wiping the mutton-fat jade piece clean with a cloth, Ji Lao sat down and looked at the little girl with a sweet smile from beginning to end. His voice was a little sad: "Little girl, how did you tell that it was fake?" "?"

"This, I can only say it is a coincidence," Le Yun blinked her big innocent eyes, with an innocent look on her face: "The raw materials used for counterfeiting are made ofIt is made of resin and medicinal materials in proportion, and mixed with jade powder. It is not a medical professional, and people who are not ancient Chinese medicine cannot tell the truth from the false. But I happen to be a professional, and I only noticed something fishy when I smelled it. . "

"The little girl is a doctor? " Mr. Ji was surprised.

"Yes, I am a medical student," Le Yun said with crooked eyes and a cute smile: "Old sir, I really don't want to deliberately cause trouble. It's really easy for people to change their nature. It was hard to change my mind. When I smelled something strange, I wanted to investigate it more clearly. Being a person who couldn’t tolerate falsehood in my eyes, I couldn’t help but tell the truth.

In fact, if you don’t meet Cheng Yaojin like me who comes out halfway, you will always sell the Jade Buddha. As long as the Jade Buddha does not fall into the fire, basically no one will be able to find it. is fake.

Moreover, there is no need for you, boss, to be embarrassed. I guess the person who did this was not doing it for money. The materials used in the fakery used no less than a hundred kinds of medicinal materials and more than 80 kinds of resins or tree sap. It’s not easy to collect those things. After fusion, it’s called medicated grease. It has many uses. Then the medicinal materials are added to make medicine. The total value is no less than the price of the Jade Buddha. That person was probably too busy to use the precious medicated grease to make a medicine. Condemned goods. "

The little girl said it lightly, and Mr. Ji almost didn't get angry and play a prank? Who was so idle that he made a fake product and leaked it to the market? It almost caused harm to him. His reputation was in disrepute.

The old man who owned the shop had a sullen face as if it was about to rain heavily. He stared at the stone peeled out of the Jade Buddha with a look of hatred and bitterness. Le Yun was afraid that the old man would Angrily, he smashed the thing to pieces and hurriedly covered the stone that had restored its true appearance: "Old sir, I agreed before that if it is authentic, it will be mine, and it will cost me ten thousand yuan. Businessmen must be honest and cannot raise prices on the ground. ”

There is a saying that one hand pays and the other hand delivers the goods. In order to prevent the old man from going back on his word, Mr. Le Xiao cleverly grabbed the rocks and stuffed them into his backpack, then took out a bunch of speculation tickets and handed them to him. Shopkeeper.

The little girl used a stone as a treasure, and Mr. Ji was speechless. The thing made him stare. He really wanted to put it up in his office and look at it every day to let himself remember the lesson, but he had spoken before. , he acquiesced to the little girl's suggestion, and the things that were found to be genuine and fake belonged to the little girl. Now he couldn't break his promise, so he could only let people pack them away.

Taking a bunch of money, he He didn’t count it, but asked with interest: “Little girl, what is the use of that stone? "

" "You bring it as a stone, but I take it as medicine. It is one of the raw materials for treating rickets." "The purchase was settled and the money was cleared. Le Yun was not afraid of the store's regrets and was happy to tell her.

"Very precious? "

"Stones are not very precious. When did the old gentleman go to a limestone cave and saw stalactites, they were of the same species. Because they were soaked in medicinal grease, their status was upgraded to a higher level and used as medicine. Excellent effect. "

" "High value?" "

"The value of the stone itself is about the same as the pills I just used. I want it because I have collected a lot of medicinal materials. Adding a new one can save some hands and feet. "

Mr. Ji's mind was spinning quickly: "Little girl, the pill you just used is worth ten thousand? "A pill is worth ten thousand, what kind of panacea is that?

"Ten thousand a pill is still the lowest starting price, the price is clearly marked, and it is fair to say that since the quantity is very small, it is not for people who have friendship. Not for sale. "

"Little girl, what are the magical effects of the pill? "

"Detoxify and nourish your spirit. If someone is half-starved and half-dead, he can survive for another seven or eight days by eating one pill. It can cure general food poisoning. "

Mr. Ji's eyes lit up: "Little girl, how about I exchange the cash you paid for a pill? "

"This, okay, just this time, it won't happen next time. "Le Yun glared resentfully. People become better with age, and the old man is too shrewd. It would be bad if we don't discuss this deal, so we can only close it.

The little girl's expression of cutting flesh made Mr. Ji Le Yuanyuan was in a good mood and happily handed the cash back to the little girl. The little girl was very knowledgeable in medicine at a young age, but her temperament was extremely simple. She didn't even hide the effect of the stone. Such a temperament It hurt so much.

Le Yun took out the bag containing the pills, poured out a pill, and put it in the old man's hand: "Old man, this needs to be sealed. If there is a jade bottle, use it." It is best to put it in a glass bottle to prevent moisture. You must also declare that this is a detoxification pill. It can detoxify general poisons, but it does not mean it is omnipotent. It has little effect on special types of poisons, and it cannot do anything if the amount of poison exceeds a certain amount. It is not a special elixir to detoxify snake venom. For example, if you encounter a person bitten by a five-step poison or a Taipan snake, taking an antidote pill can probably protect the injured person's heart from being poisoned for about a day. It cannot save his life, but can only help. The injured were given time to be sent to the hospital. "

Mr. Ji couldn't hide his shock. According to the little girl, the pills are similar to universal detoxification pills. They are not special medicines for detoxifying snake venom. Taipan snake or five-step snake venom can also protect the heart. It lasted for about twenty-four hours, which showed how effective the medicine was.

He wrapped the pills in a clean piece of paper and stored them in a small box. When he turned around, his brows were full of Kindness: "Little girl, I have a lot of antiques on the second floor. Take a look and see if you might like something. "

"You always tempt me to look at antiques. Do you want to exchange the antiques for pills? I won't do this. It's getting late, I have to go back. "

Le Yun didn't want to be led around, so she left as she was told. She picked up the big-eared rabbit, and said goodbye to the old gentleman with the handsome Milo.

The little girl She is a thief and refuses to exchange things for medicine. This also shows that her medicine pills are very precious. Ji Lao can't keep anyone around.Don’t force yourself, give each guest a business card of your store, and welcome you to visit next time.

Accepting the business card, Le Yun took a look at it. The old man’s surname was Ji, and his given name was Ji Bogu. She called him “Mr. Ji” in an obedient manner. Mr. Ji’s shop was called “Xinyu Pavilion”. She thought it was appropriate. Taken from the meaning of "jade in the heart, pearl in the palm".

When the little girl called "Mr. Ji", her eyes shone brightly. Mr. Ji was impressed and asked the two guests their last names and sent them downstairs.

Jingde was guarding the first floor and saw the old gentleman accompanying the guests down, and the guests were getting along very happily. He felt unsure, so he and the boss saw the guests out of the store, and waited for them to go away. When I returned to the store, there was no one around, so I asked in a low voice: "Mr. Ji, how is the situation?"

"It's fake. Put away the label and certificate of the Jade Buddha and lock it up." Ji Lao walked into the counter and walked to the second floor.

Fake...fake?

Jingde almost fell into a fight. The Jade Buddha was really a fake. Not only were they criticized, but also the experts at the appraisal center were criticized. This..., the money to buy the Jade Buddha is considered to be the tuition fee, then Tuition is too expensive.

After being shocked, he hurriedly put away the identification document, price tag and other information of the Jade Buddha and locked it in the cabinet.

After coming out of Xinyu Pavilion, Le Yun decided not to go shopping and went back to the hotel where the handsome guy Milo stayed. It was getting late. She promised Milo to go to dinner, so she couldn't keep the handsome godfather waiting.

It was getting dark, and the vendors in Panjiayuan were also preparing to close their stalls. There were very few customers. Le Yun packed her backpack while walking, went to a deserted place, and gave Milo a small packet of pills.

The handsome young man held a small bag containing ten pills, full of surprise: "Xiao Lele, this is very precious. Did you say you won't sell it to others?"
< br />"I won't sell it to people I don't know well. Milo and I are friends, so giving it to a friend is another matter." Le Yun smiled and winked: "Handsome Milo, keep this in your collection and take it with you when you travel around the world in the future. Keep it with you in case of emergencies. Don’t give it to Mr. Roberto. The old man cannot take this pill until the rectal tumor is cured."

"Okay." Milo thought for a while, Without refusing, he put the pills in his pocket. Little Lele was his little angel. It was such a blessing in life to meet such a lovely child!

When they came to Panjiayuan, they walked on their legs. When they went back, they took the bus, transferred a few buses, and arrived at the hotel. It was their first visit to the hotel. Le Xiaoxiao wanted to buy some fruits and so on. As a small gift, the handsome guy Milo directly took the person away and refused to let him go. The presidential suite in a five-star hotel costs nearly 10,000 yuan per day. Everything is provided. It is a waste of money to buy fruit. Besides, Xiao Lele is willing to go to the hotel with her. The meal was the greatest display of hospitality and kindness to his godfather.

Roberto received the rice in advanceLuo's phone call informed him that he would accompany the children back to the hotel soon. He and the housekeeper immediately tidied up the guest room and living room, placing fruits and pastries sent by the hotel.

After waiting for less than ten minutes, Milo arrived with the little Oriental girl.

Old housekeeper Enzo opened the door, and Oscar jumped forward happily, shouting in a Chinese with a bit of Beijing accent: "Hello, little oriental beauty! Long time no see, I miss you very much, you have been there lately. Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Milo had quick eyesight and quick hands. When he saw Oscar rushing towards him, he stretched out his hand to grab Oscar. He grabbed Oscar's collar with great accuracy and lifted him up, preventing him from hugging Xiao Luo. Li.

Roberto wanted to facepalm: "Oscar, the more you learn Chinese, the more crooked you are, and your words are not correct. You should use English," he said to his adopted son and smiled apologetically at the little girl who came in. Laughing: "My dear child, please don't mind what Oscar said. What he wants to say is that you are all right. Because his understanding of Chinese is biased, the sentences he composes are prone to ambiguous meanings."

Le Yun Entering the hotel suite, a quick glance will reveal the general situation. The suite is luxuriously decorated, the color is low-key, calm and not exaggerated, and every supplies is genuine.

She looked at the environment and looked at her heart and nose. When she heard the handsome young man's words, "There is nothing uncomfortable," she almost burst out laughing. She finally held back her laughter, her eyes Curved into a crescent moon: "Good evening, old gentleman, good evening, Mr. Butler, good evening, handsome Oscar."

"Good evening, lovely lady." Enzo, the old butler, closed the door.

"Brother Milo, don't grab my clothes. Don't ruin my handsome image. If you ruin my handsome image, the cute little beauty will not like me." Being grabbed by the collar, Oscar yelled, using his native language and expressing himself smoothly.

"Be a gentleman to beautiful women. If you are so rude, you will scare the cute little Lele. You must be gentle and gentle, smile and be polite, don't run rampant, don't hug randomly, and protect the Chinese giant pandas. It's right to love and protect her."

"Okay, I understand. Brother Milo, if you hold on to me any longer, I will lose my face." Oscar's protest was ineffective and he muttered Keep your mouth open to save people.

Milo smiled and let go, showing a charming smile to the cute child: "Xiao Lele, in Chinese, Oscar is a naughty child. Sometimes he is like a wild horse, sometimes he is naughty and a headache. When he is not serious, you can just kick him a few times and it will be fine. Oscar’s skin is very strong and it won’t hurt if he kicks him.”

Roberto understands Chinese and fully understands the meaning. Oscar seems to understand but not understand. Jumped to the little oriental beauty: "Little beauty, what is Brother Milo talking about me?"

"Miro said that Oscar is a smart and lively boy, with a physique like the giant in ancient Rome and Greek mythology. Like a strongmanStrong and fit. "

The little girl slightly changed her words into a high praise, and Roberto and Milo smiled with stars in their eyes.

" Did brother Milo really say that about me? Brother Milo is the best. Oscar cheered. When he was in his home country, Brother Milo often said that he was not strong enough and had no strength. He would train him to death every time he had a chance. This time, Brother Milo was willing to put in a good word for him in front of the little beauty. He is a good person. Brother.

Oscar was sold and he helped count the money. In response, Roberto was also drunk, laughing so hard that he could hardly stand upright, and asked the little girl to take a seat.

Oscar remembered Milo’s words about not hugging the little beauty, and did not dare to run to hug the girl again. He happily sat down with Milo to accompany the little beauty. He and Milo sandwiched the little girl between them, and warmly helped her. Fruit, make a platter.

Taking advantage of the free time, Leyun used X-ray vision to scan Roberto. The traditional Chinese medicine the old man took was also effective, inhibiting the spread of disease cells. Those medicines can help in the short term. After three months, the intestinal diseased cells will produce antibodies to resist the inhibitory effect of the drug.

After observing it once, I have an idea. Out of caution, I feel the old man’s pulse and give the patient confidence: "At present, The effect of traditional Chinese medicine is quite good. It can control the proliferation of diseased cells in a short period of time. I am still waiting for the medicine. It is expected to be extracted next week and the medicine can be prepared next week. "

" "No hurry, no rush." "Roberto seemed to have taken reassurance and was not in a hurry.

Le Yun didn't understand the aviation and customs rules. She didn't know what items could be brought on board the plane and what items couldn't be cleared out of customs, so she specifically told her about this. The old man discussed that if the medicinal materials can be transported by air, the old man can take them back home and then take them. If he cannot leave the customs, he can only let the old man stay in the capital for a while and take a dose of medicine before going back.

It will be the same in the future. If air express can be used, international parcels can be sent directly. If air express is not available, the only choice is to ask the old man to come to China again.

After a discussion, we ate some appetizing fruits before dinner and went to have dinner. .

In order to show courtesy to the young guests, we went to the private room to dine. The private room was quiet and elegant, with one table per private room and a great atmosphere.

Roberto accompanied the guests to their seats. The hotel's personal butler, who had been waiting for a long time, handed over the dishes. Roberto was also a rigorous person. He did not order a lot of food, but carefully selected and carefully crafted twelve dishes, with meat and vegetables combined, grand and without waste.
< br /> After the dishes were served, the hotel butler took the waiter away, leaving space for the guests.

Yi people love wine and would not be happy without wine. Enzo, the old butler, Oscar and Milo drank red wine. Roberto was banned from drinking and could only sigh about wine. Le Xiao's classmate was underage and should not drink too much, so she and Roberto drank milk instead of wine.

FiveThe quality of chefs in star-rated hotels is not something you can boast about. The dishes prepared are full of flavor and flavor. Le Xiao students tasted them one by one with the intention of learning. There was a bamboo bird's nest soup on the table, which was the most delicious.

There were twelve dishes for four people. Except for a lot of chicken and duck left over, basically nothing else was wasted.

A dinner where the host and guest enjoy themselves.

There was fruit for digestion after the meal. It was past eight o'clock in the evening, and Leyun could not stay any longer, so she said goodbye and returned to school.

A good girl would not stay out overnight. For the sake of the little girl’s reputation, Roberto did not persuade her to stay and asked Milo to escort the child back to school.

Milo went back to the guest room to help the little Loli children carry their backpacks and big-eared rabbits, as well as some small gifts they brought from Italy in boxes.

Le Xiao’s classmate originally planned to take the subway back to school. Roberto said that it was not safe for girls to take the subway at night, so he called a taxi and asked Milo to take him to Qingdao University.
