The next day was the day of the game, and Zhang Jing failed to stay in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast.
The reason is that there are guests coming to the door.
The Japanese armor expert and sword expert introduced by the pawn shop owner.
What's interesting is that the two experts, one is from Japan and the other is from Bangzi, are about the same age, about fifty years old, and they look clean, fresh and not greasy.
Zhang Jing took Kai Jia and his sword out of the Mithril space in advance and placed them in the living room for the two of them to identify them together.
Housekeeper Leya serves fragrant tea and coffee to guests.
Zhang Jing watched them working, feeling quite uneasy. After all, Xu Zehong was an expert on cultural relics from the Dragon Kingdom and was not that proficient in foreign antiquities.
quite a while.
An expert on ancient cold weapons from the Bangzi Kingdom named Yuan Haixiao asked Zhang Jing, "Does this sword have a provenance?"
"No." Zhang Jing really couldn't say.
"This sword has some origins," Motokai Takashi introduced. "If my judgment is correct, it should be the work of Kato Seiichi, the master knife maker in the early 19th century."
His expression remained unchanged, but Zhang Jing felt a little confused. Yesterday afternoon, Xu Zehong said that it was a side knife used by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was born in the 16th century, the same period as Wanli. How did he come to Motokai Takashi? This sword was born three hundred years later.
With his mind full of thoughts and his expression unchanged, Zhang Jing asked with concern, "How much is it worth?"
"Kato Seiichi was a famous knife-making master in Japan in the early 19th century. With a history of nearly two hundred years, its value is very high." Yuan Haitaka introduced in a calm and powerful voice.
"How high?" Zhang Jing is more vulgar and always only cares about the price.
Looking into Zhang Jing's eyes, Yuan Haixiao stretched out five fingers and solemnly said: "50,000 yuan!"
Zhang Jing: "...."
Damn it, looking at Yuan Haixiao's serious attitude, Zhang Jing thought it was 50 million yuan.
Thinking that Zhang Jing was shocked by the high price, Yuan Hai replied filially, "50,000 yuan is the market price. I am willing to buy it for 40,000 yuan."
Zhang Jing looked at another Japanese expert named Yoshiharada, an expert on ancient Japanese armor.
"Mr. Yoshiharada, how is Kai Jia?" Zhang Jing asked.
Yoshiharada, who also has a good image, replied, "The main part of this armor should be from the early 19th century, and the hem and horn-shaped helmet are modern crafts."
"How much is this set worth?" Zhang Jing asked.
Yoshiharada also stretched out five fingers and said seriously: "5,000 yuan."
Both experts said that weapons and Kaijia were worthless. Zhang Jing was a little worried. Could it be that Xu Zehong had lost his sight?
Unexpectedly, Yoshiharada said again, "Although it is a modern Kaijia, the craftsmanship is good. I am willing to spend 5,000 yuan to buy it."
Looking at Yoshiharada's sincere eyes, Zhang Jingduo thought it was not a good thing, but he wanted to buy it.
After sending away two experts who were reluctant to leave, Zhang Jing decided to seek help from netizens.
Use a 4K camera to take a full close-up of the armor and sword, and then send it to the video operator Irina, who will publish it to several video platforms.
It was handed over to nearly 200,000 netizens across the entire network for appraisal.
Irina is currently at Churchill Downs in Kentucky, working hard to film the video.
The protagonists are of course 'The General' and 'Undead'. Many netizens sympathized with the 'General' who retired from the race because of his jockey.
When Irina received the video taken by Zhang Jing, 'Budie' was running on the field.
What's exciting is that 'Budie' is still strong. It is never willing to lag behind. It has a strong competitive spirit. Even if there is a horse that is better than it, it can still achieve a comeback by stimulating its potential.
Just a few dozen seconds later, 'Can't Die' surpassed six horses in a row and crossed the finish line as a dark horse.
Later, Zhang Jing received a call from Aigis and learned the good news.
By winning the championship, 'Can't Die' not only won 1.4 million yuan in prize money, but also cheered up the championship racecourse, cheered up the 200,000 netizens who liked it, and slapped the mastermind behind reporting illegal immigrants in Haifa.
It was a hearty victory, and the town residents crowded into the rosé winery to drink and celebrate.
Feilai, Barbie, Ti Long, Cindy, and Yuduo Xiyao were overwhelmed, and Xu Zehong and his wife Lin Jiangmeng also came to help.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Jing returned to Rose Red Winery, and there were actually a few old drunkards still drinking.
It looks comfortable and relaxed.
"BOSS," Barbie greeted with a smile, "In addition to the residents of the town, there are also some tourists this morning;
As expected, visitors will continue to come in the future and we will need to increase our manpower, at least two. "
"It's up to you." Barbie is the manager, so Zhang Jing should delegate power to her.
Sure enough, just as Barbie said, for the next three days, tourists came to the winery and racecourse every day, with the number ranging from 30 to 100 people.
Visitors include residents of the entire greater Seattle metropolitan area, Bellevue, Yosemite, and Tukwila, and there are also foreign tourists.
On the fourth day, when the 'General' returned from Kentucky in glory, the total number of tourists and reporters reached an unprecedented number of more than 700.
Because he hadn't recruited anyone yet, Zhang Jing had to invite housekeeper Liya, Liang Jieshu, and Zhou Manmiao to help.
Busy from morning to night, after seeing off the last guest, Zhang Jing lay weakly in front of the round table, panting.
Zhou Manmiao was even worse. She had just sat down for a while and was already fast asleep.
Because Xu Zehong and Lin Jiangmeng were old, they had been busy for a day and were mentally exhausted, so they had gone back to the dormitory to sleep.
Feilai, Yuduoxiyao, Cindy and Dillon are cleaning.
Barbie is counting today's income, including selling wine and food.
Liang Jieshu gently placed a cup of warm water in front of Zhang Jing, and said with emotion, "There are so many people today, and the 'General' is amazing."
The 'General' is great, but it's a pity that Haifa is still detained by the Immigration Bureau, so the 'General' cannot participate in the next competition.
'Can't Die' did not come back. He went directly to Maryland to participate in the Preakness Stakes, 1900 track, with a prize money of 1 million yuan for the winner.
Interestingly, 'Nothing' will be the only filly in the race.
"It's been a hard day today," Zhang Jing expressed his gratitude to Liang Jieshu. She and Zhou Manmiao were of great help today. "I'll go to Xiangjiang tomorrow. I'll treat you to dinner when I come back."
"What a coincidence," Liang Jieshu chatted, "Manmiao will also return to Xiangjiang tomorrow."
What a coincidence, not only were they on the same day, but they were also on the same flight.
Half an hour later, Barbie completed today's sales statistics.
"The turnover is 37,000 yuan, and the per capita consumption is 53 yuan. Excluding labor costs and subtracting the cost of drinks and food, the profit is just half."
Zhang Jing's eyes became round, and Liang Jieshu was also incredible.
Half of the profit is 18,500 yuan. After deducting labor costs, Zhang Jing makes a net profit of 17,000 yuan.
"Why so many?" Zhang Jing asked.
"The wine in stock is the main selling point, with more than 30% of households consuming two bottles."
It turned out that there was wine in stock, and Zhang Jing couldn't be happy. This situation was unsustainable.
Let's just settle down and be a treasure hunter. We will fly to Xiangjiang tomorrow. I don't think anything will happen in the middle of the night.
