In Capital City, a forty-nine city where rich people are everywhere, Ji Lao is not ranked among the rich, but he is not a man who is short of money. Even if he spends a few tens of millions of things, he just I feel bad that the object is broken, but I don’t feel bad about losing 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, but reputation is a big deal.
It is normal to make mistakes in the antiques 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 cannot detect the authenticity after multiple appraisals, wait until you sell it. If it is later found to be untrue, it will be considered to be a deliberate fraud, which is enough to discredit the buyer overnight.
The gloomy-looking Mr. Ji stood at the table, 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. It's like rosin, camphor, or tung oil. The complex smell rushes into my nose and 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 surface of the bowl, which was shiny and shiny.
Ji Lao used two pairs of long tweezers to gently stir the fat. The layer of fat condensed into a thick piece, sticking to the tweezers like a frozen block of suet.
Pull away the grease and take out the Jade Buddha. It used to be mutton-fat jade, with a smooth surface and no grease left. After taking a bath, it changed beyond recognition and transformed into a tooth-white stone-like thing. Severely shrunk, about four inches tall.
The test results are immediately clear whether they are true or false.
Miluo blinked his eyes when he saw a piece of object taken out by the store. He was very proud of the little Loli kid, um, um, little Lele is so amazing. Not only can he know medicine, but he can also read gold. The wisdom of broken jade.
Ji Lao looked very unhappy. He put a piece of stuff into another bowl that had been prepared earlier and washed it, rinsed away 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 and rinse it clean. The thin jade piece is as bright as mutton fat, crystal clear and shiny.
The results proved 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, Mr. Ji sat down and looked at the little girl who had 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 innocent big eyes with an innocent look on her face. “The raw materials used for counterfeiting are made of resin and medicinal materials in proportion, and mixed with Jade powder, that kind of thing is something that people who are not a medical professional, and who are not from ancient Chinese medicine, cannot tell the truth from falsehood, but I happen to be a professional, and I only noticed something fishy when I smelled it."
"Little girl. It's a doctor." Ji Lao was surprised.
"Yes, I am a medical student," Le Yun said with crooked eyes and a cute smile. "Old sir, I am reallyIt’s not that I want to intentionally cause trouble, it’s just that people’s nature is hard to change. I smelled something strange and wanted to find out more about it. Since I’m a person who can’t tolerate falsehoods, I couldn’t help but tell the truth.
Actually, 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 discover it. Fake.
Besides, there is no need for you, boss, to be embarrassed. I guess the person who did this did not do 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. I think. It’s not easy to collect those things. After fusion, it’s called medicated grease. It has many uses. Then add medicinal materials 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. Taste. ”
The little girl said it lightly, and Mr. Ji almost didn’t get angry. He had so much free time to play pranks on everyone that he produced a fake product and leaked it to the market, which almost caused his reputation to be ruined. .
The old man who owned the shop had a gloomy face as if it was about to rain heavily, staring 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 throw it away in anger. He broke the stone 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. 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 stones and stuffed them into his backpack, then took out a bunch of speculation tickets and handed them to the shop owner. .
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 in his office and look at it every day to make himself remember the lesson. But he had said it 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. He couldn't break his promise at this time, so he could only let people pack them away.
He took the bundle of money and did not count it. Instead, he asked with great interest, "Little girl, what's the use of that stone?"
"What you bring is just a stone. I can use it as medicine. It is one of the raw materials for treating rickets." "The purchase was settled and the money was cleared. Leyun was not afraid of the store's regrets and was happy to tell her.
"Very precious"
"Stones are not very precious. When will the old gentleman go swimming? In limestone caves, if you see stalactites, they are of the same species. Because they are soaked in medicinal fat, their status has been upgraded to a higher level, and their medicinal effects are excellent. "
"The value is very high"
"The stone itself is worth 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 money. hands and feet. "
Mr. Ji's mind was spinning very fast. "Little girl, the pill you just used is worth ten thousand." One pill is worth ten thousand. What kind of panacea is that?
" One pill is worth ten thousand. 10,000 is still the lowest starting price. The price is clearly marked, so you don't have to be fooled. Because the quantity is very small, it will not be sold to anyone who has no friendship. "
"Little girl, what are the magical effects of the pill?"
"Detoxify and nourish the spirit. Whoever is half-starved and half-dead can survive another seven or eight days by taking one pill?Can relieve general food poisoning. "
Ji Lao's eyes lit up. "Little girl, how about I exchange the cash you paid for a pill?"
"This, okay, just this time, I won't do it 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 seal it.
The little girl's expression of cutting flesh made Ji Laole The gloomy mood was very good, and he happily handed the cash back to the little girl. The little girl was very knowledgeable in medicine at a young age, but her temper was extremely simple. She didn't even hide the effect of the stone. Such a charming character The pain was tight.
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, it is best to put it in a jade bottle." The glass bottle must be moisture-proof, and it must be stated 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. If the poison exceeds a certain amount, it cannot do anything. It is not a detoxification pill. Special elixirs for snake venom. For example, if you encounter a person bitten by a five-step poisonous snake 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 fight for the injured person. Get to the hospital when the time comes. ”
Mr. Ji couldn’t hide his shock. According to the little girl, the pills are similar to the universal detoxification pills. They are not special medicines for detoxifying snake venom. In Zhongtaipan snake or Wubu snake venom, it can also protect the heart. At about 24 o'clock, it was obvious how effective the medicine was.
He wrapped the pills in a piece of clean paper and stored them in a small box. He turned around with a look of kindness on his face. Little girl, I have a lot of antiques on the second floor. Take a look and see if you might like something. "
"You keep tempting me to look at antiques because you want to exchange them for pills, which I won't do. It's getting late, I have to go back. ”
Le Yun didn’t want to be led around, so she just left. She picked up the big-eared rabbit, and said goodbye to the old gentleman with the handsome Milo.
The little girl is a thief. , unwilling to exchange things for medicine, it also shows that her pills are very precious. Ji Lao can't keep people, and he doesn't force them. He gives each customer a business card of his store, welcoming him to visit next time.
Accepting the business card, Le Yun took a look. The old man’s surname was Ji, and his given name was Ji Bogu. She called him “Mr. Ji” in a good-natured manner. Mr. Ji’s shop was called “Xinyu Pavilion”. She thought it might be taken from “Heart Jade, Palm”. It means "bead".
When the little girl called "Ji Lao", her eyes shone brightly. Ji Lao felt it and asked the two guests their last names and sent them downstairs.< /p>
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 before returning. There was no one around in the store, so he asked in a low voice, "Mr. Ji, how is the situation?"
"Fake. Put away the label and certificate of the Emerald Buddha and lock it up. "Ji Lao walked into the counter and walked to the second floor.
Fake
Jingde almost fell into a fight. The Jade Buddha was really a fake. Not only did they get slapped, but also Experts from the appraisal center work togetherI was struck by the fact that the money spent on purchasing the Jade Buddha was considered as tuition fee, and that tuition fee was too expensive.
After being shocked, he hurriedly put away the appraisal document and price tag 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 handsome 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, looking full of surprise, "Xiao Lele, this is very precious. You said it would not be sold outside."
" Don’t sell it to people you 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 case of emergencies. Yes, don’t give it to Mr. Roberto. The old gentleman can’t take this pill until the rectal tumor is cured.”
“Okay.” Milo thought for a while and took the pill without refusing. In his pocket, little Lele is his little angel. It is a great blessing in life to meet such a cute child
When they came to Panjiayuan, they walked on their legs. When they went back, they took the bus and took a few turns. On the way to the hotel, it was the first time to visit the hotel. Le Xiaoxiao wanted to buy some small gifts such as fruits, but the handsome guy Milo directly twisted the person away and refused to let him go. The presidential suite of a five-star hotel, every day The cost is nearly ten thousand, and everything is available. It is a waste of money to buy fruit. Besides, Xiao Lele's willingness to go to the hotel to dine together is the greatest enthusiasm and goodwill towards his godfather.
Roberto received a call from Milo in advance telling him that he would accompany the children back to the hotel soon. He and the housekeeper immediately tidied up the living room and put fruits and pastries sent by the hotel.
After waiting for less than ten minutes, Milo arrived with the little Oriental girl.
When old housekeeper Enzo opened the door, Oscar jumped forward happily and shouted in a Chinese with a bit of Beijing accent, "Little Oriental beauty, it's been a long time no see. I miss you very much. There has been nothing wrong with you recently." Let's find a comfortable place."
Milo had quick eyes 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 held him up to prevent him from hugging the little Lolita.
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. " Dear child, please don't mind Oscar's words. What he wants to say is that you are safe and well. Because his understanding of Chinese is biased, the sentences he composes are prone to misunderstandings."
Le Yun entered the hotel suite. After a quick glance, I got the general picture. The suites are luxuriously decorated, the colors are low-key and calm, not exaggerated, and every supplies is genuine.
She looked at the environment and looked at it with all her heart and nose. When she heard the handsome young man's words, "There is nothing uncomfortable," she almost burst out of joy. She managed to hold back her laughter and her eyes rolled. Cheng Yueyue'er "old"Good evening, sir, 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 girl won't like it. Mine. " Being grabbed by the collar, Oscar screamed, using his native language and expressing smoothly.
"Be a gentleman to beautiful women. You will scare the cute little Lele if you are so rude. Be gentle and gentle." Smile and be polite, don't run rampant, don't hug her randomly, it's only right to protect her like the Chinese giant panda. ”
“Okay, I get it. Brother Milo, if you hold on to me any longer, I will be completely embarrassed. "Oscar's protest was ineffective and he pouted to save his life.
Milo smiled and let go, showing a charming smile to the cute child. "Little Lele, to describe it in Chinese, Oscar is a naughty kid. Sometimes he is like a wild horse. , sometimes he is very naughty and gives a headache. When he is not serious, you can just kick him a few times and it will be fine. Oscar's skin and flesh are very strong, so it won't hurt if you kick him. "
Roberto understands Chinese and fully understands the meaning. Oscar seems to understand but not understand, and jumps to the little oriental beauty, "Little beauty, what is Brother Milo talking about me?"
" Milo said that Oscar was a smart and lively boy with a physique as strong and muscular as the Hercules in ancient Roman and Greek mythology. "
The little girl slightly changed her words and turned them into high praises. Roberto and Milo smiled with stars in their eyes.
" Milo Brother, is this really what he said 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 helped count the money. In response, Roberto was drunk and laughed so hard that he asked the little girl to take a seat.
Oscar. Remembering Milo's words about not hugging the little beauty, he didn't dare to run to hug the girl anymore. He and Milo happily sat down with the little beauty. He and Milo sandwiched the little guest between them and helped peel the fruit enthusiastically. Make a platter.
While she was free, Leyun scanned Roberto with her X-ray eyes. The traditional Chinese medicine the old man took was also effective, inhibiting the spread of disease cells. Those medicines were effective in the short term and exceeded In three months, the intestinal diseased cells will produce antibodies that resist the inhibitory effect of the drug.
After observing it once, I have an idea. Out of caution, I feel the pulse of the old man and give the patient confidence. "The effect of traditional Chinese medicine is still good. Yes, 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 hurry. "Roberto seemed to have taken reassurance and was not in a hurry.
Le Yun didn't understand aviation and customs rules and didn't know which items could be brought on board the plane and which items couldn't be cleared out of customs, so she specifically told the boss about this. Sir, we discussed that medicinal materials can be transported on airlines.The old man would take it back home and take it again. If he could not leave the customs, he would have to stay in the capital for a while and take a dose of medicine before going back.
This will also be the case in the future. If air express can be used, international parcels can be sent directly. If air cannot be used, the old man himself can only be asked to come to China again.
After some discussion, we ate some fruit as an appetizer and went to have dinner.
In order to show courtesy to the young guests, we dine in a private room. The private room is quiet and elegant, with one private room and one table, and the atmosphere is excellent.
Roberto accompanied the guests to their seats, and the hotel’s personal butler who had been waiting for a long time passed the dishes. Roberto was also a rigorous person and did not order a lot of food. He carefully selected and carefully considered the twelve dishes. The combination of meat and vegetables is grand and not wasteful.
After the dishes were served, the hotel butler took the waiter away, leaving space for the guests.
Chinese people love wine and will not be happy without wine. Enzo, the old butler, Oscar and Milo drink red wine. Roberto is banned from drinking and can only sigh at the wine. Little Le’s classmate is underage and should not drink it either. Spills, she and Roberto had milk instead of wine.
The level of chefs in a five-star hotel is not something you can boast. The dishes prepared are all full of 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. tasty.
Twelve dishes for four people, except that there was a lot of leftover chicken and duck, the rest was basically not wasted.
A dinner where the host and guest enjoy themselves.
There was fruit for digestion after the meal, and it was past eight o'clock in the evening. 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.
Miluo 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 country Yi, which were packed in boxes.
Le Xiao’s original plan was to take the subway back to school. Roberto said 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.
