After finishing the last meatball, Mr. Qiao put down his chopsticks and touched his belly before giving a verdict on the dish: "The meat and vegetables are more delicious but not spicy enough; the meatballs have too much powder; speaking of which, the Mapo Tofu is not bad."

"

"Except for the meatballs, they are all Shanghe Gang's classic dishes. If you don't eat them, you'll feel it's a pity. If you eat them, you'll feel like that's it." After saying that, he smiled and said, "There's also Husband and wife's beef slices, which are actually pretty good, these days.

I have a chance to taste it.”

"Are we going to pick up the car?" Mr. Qiao asked: "Didn't you say that Gongmei is also on Chunxi Road?"

"I want to send some things over there. Many of them are made of porcelain. There are so many people on the road, so I'd rather break them."

So everyone got in the car again. Although there was only a short distance after getting onto the service road, it was extremely difficult to drive.

Mr. Qiao felt that this scene was very familiar: "Why do I feel like driving into a country market for a market?"

These words made the whole car happy. Don't mention it, it really tastes like that!

Chunxi Road is a place with the least amount of people, and it can really be said to be beautiful in workmanship. After all, the things here are not suitable for eating, drinking, or clothing. At most, they can only be used as decorations, which are expensive and easy to get dirty.

For example, many families now have three generations living under one roof. The living room has a floor-to-ceiling cabinet on one side, a TV cabinet on one side, and a sofa on the other side. The door is open on the other side. Even if you have a copy of Xu Beihong's "Galloping Horse", you won't be able to find it.

hang.

Even if you finally find a place to hang it, the naughty child will accidentally fall in front of the painting and use the scroll as an armrest... it will tear...

That’s why Gongmei chooses its customers.

Entering the hall, various beautiful furnishings immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Zhou Zhi acted as a semi-tour guide: "Here are exquisite handicrafts from all over central Sichuan. The main varieties include Shu embroidery from Shudu, tie-dyeing from Yandu, Qingshen bamboo weaving, Qionglai bamboo thread button porcelain, and Yazhou green stone carvings."

He led everyone to an elevator and pressed in: "But the real boutiques are on the second floor. The second floor is divided into two parts. One is the lobby that goes up through the spiral staircase, where modern handicrafts are sold.

One is from here, and they sell antiques."

Sure enough, as soon as the elevator door opens, the decoration is extraordinary.

There is an antique small hall at the entrance, imitating the furnishings of a Chinese living room, but with the addition of a sofa and tea drinking area.

A young lady in a black suit came over and said, "Who are you..."

"I'm looking for you, Mr. Fei."

"Do you have an appointment?"

"Mr. Fei has to make an appointment now?" Zhou Zhi felt a little strange: "There is no appointment...ah, wait a moment..."

After saying that, Zhou Zhi took out a business card holder under everyone's suspicious eyes, opened it and picked out a shiny business card: "Boss Fei, you should rarely give this business card to others. Can you see him with this?"

The young lady was a little confused when she held the business card. She had never seen her boss have such a thing before: "This..."

The looks in Guan Ma's and others' eyes became even more suspicious. Jiuzi said that he was very happy at Gongmei, but he doesn't look like it now...

Zhou Zhi was also quite embarrassed: "Mr. Fei and I are really familiar with each other. If he is not here... Mr. Zhang from your appraisal room or Xugong, whoever is there will be fine."

"Then please wait a moment." Seeing that Zhou Zhi could say this, the girl quickly made tea and said, "I'll go ask."

After a while, an old man came out with a smile: "You are here, elbow? Why didn't you say hello in advance? I heard from the tip that you guys are not leaving until next week? Didn't you hear that you have to go in advance?"

Zhou Zhi finally seemed to be meeting his relatives: "It's like meeting an acquaintance. Hello, Mr. Zhang. I have something to do in advance. I also have to bring some things to Gongmei in the past six months."

"Really? Then hurry up and go to our appraisal room!" Mr. Zhang said with a smile: "Welcome everyone!"

After saying that, he explained to the young lady: "Xiao Fang, this is an important customer of our Gongmei and a friend. He is very considerate. Next time, just let him come in directly."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I just came here and I'm not very familiar with the business." The young lady quickly apologized.

"That's right. People you don't know well can't just put them in randomly." Zhou Zhi smiled wildly: "What's new once is familiar again."

After entering the VIP hall, Guan Tingting and the others finally understood why Zhou Zhi said that unfamiliar people should not go here randomly.

This is the layout of a museum. What is different from a museum is that there are counters on three sides. The counters are filled with various things that are of great value at first glance.

Although the porcelain calligraphy and paintings are incomprehensible, I know the value of a picture of Xu Beihong's galloping horse on the wall, a Hetian jade carving tripod covered with glass, and various precious stones, gold and silver jewelry.

It must be amazing to be able to put these things together.

Several people came to the appraisal department, and Zhou Zhi discovered that there were already several people here.

"Hello, XCMG." Zhou Zhi smiled and nodded to him.

"Here comes the elbow?" Xugong said with a smile: "Look at this?"

"It won't affect your work." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "You can go on and watch your work."

After that, he said to Mr. Zhang: "Mr. Zhang, why don't you find a staff member to take them around here and explain it to them? Let's hurry up and get that box of things over?"

"This kid speaks very loudly." A middle-aged man wearing glasses next to him was obviously a little dissatisfied: "If you want to do an appraisal, you must at least line up. There is a first-come, first-served basis, right?"

"That's right!" Several people on the side also murmured: "Young man should follow the rules, we have been waiting in line for a long time."

"Don't get me wrong." Mr. Zhang quickly explained: "This person is not here for appraisal. This is a customer of our Gongmei who has business dealings with our Gongmei."

"Just him?" The middle-aged man obviously didn't believe it: "How old is he? Does he have the ability to appreciate? Does he have the financial resources?"

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh: "You don't actually need much financial resources to play the imitation Qianlong celestial vase of the Republic of China."

"What did you say?!" The middle-aged man suddenly became furious: "Young man! You can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense! In front of Teacher Xu and Mr. Zhang, they didn't even speak, who do you think they are?"

After saying that, he grabbed the mouth of the Heavenly Ball Vase with his gloved hand and turned it over, revealing the bottom tire: "Look clearly, this is the Heavenly Globe Vase entrusted to the Qianlong Official Kiln! Look at the double-circle inscription, and the tire

Bottom flint!”

"You want to say it's a Qianlong imitation of the Ming Yongle blue and white cloud-dragon celestial sphere vase collected by the Imperial Household, right?" Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Looking at the base and the foot of your flip, it's even more certain. Yours is a forgery from the Republic of China.

.”

"You!" the middle-aged man said angrily: "If you can't tell me anything today, you... you will be responsible, I will tell you!"
