After I stabilized the entrance to Dongxing Pedestrian Street, I left the entrance to Chen Cheng for the time being, and then took Liu Jiahao, Su Yu, and Zhang Zijian to the entrance of Fumin Flowers and Birds.
I plan to make some mid-to-high-end things in this hall. After all, this is an antique street, and I have to put something that shows my strength.
When we walked into the very messy entrance of the hall, a group of people were already there - Zhou Jianguo.
"Shen Fan, I heard that you are going to start cleaning up the hall here."
Zhou Jianguo said with a smile. The people behind him all came with brooms and dustpans to help clean. "The area here is relatively large. I hired some people to help clean."
But I saw there was something in his words.
Or it means something else.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
I won't expose it for the time being, and will take Liu Jiahao and the others to clean up with Zhou Jianguo's people.
It took us a while to finish cleaning the hall.
After putting away all the old furniture, we sat on the sofa to rest.
"Shen Fan, I have something to tell you."
Zhou Jianguo said, slowly getting up and taking me to the backyard.
The backyard hasn't been cleaned yet, but it doesn't hinder the conversation.
"Do you still remember the plum vase from before?"
When he said this, I remembered about the plum bottle.
After I handed the bottle to Liu Qingzhong, he was arrested by the Public Security Bureau.
"Remember, wasn't it already used as evidence by the Public Security Bureau?"
I nodded slightly and spoke with some confusion.
"Liu Qingzhong's matter of smuggling plum bottles has come to an end now. It's not convenient for the Public Security Bureau to give you this bottle, so it's with Uncle Seven for the time being."
Zhou Jianguo explained, "Uncle Seven hopes that you and your friends can come to his home tonight to talk."
"Okay, I'll tell them all."
I nodded slightly, "But there are a lot of people, is that okay?"
"No problem, Uncle Seven has already ordered people to prepare the banquet."
Zhou Jianguo said with a smile, "Uncle Qi actually wants to hear your interpretation of Mei Ping."
I know this one.
As far as I know, apart from my master, no more than ten people in the entire capital can accurately identify this double-glazed plum vase.
Not to mention this Hezhou!
Of course, if you rely solely on the year and can use some machine testing, then this is the simplest Meiping porcelain - without the story, this is an ordinary thing that may be considered a folk imitation.
"What does Uncle Seventh plan to do with this plum vase?"
I asked after nodding.
"It depends on what you mean. You brought this thing."
Zhou Jianguo said, "Uncle Seven is just keeping it temporarily, which is also the meaning of this meal."
He explained it to me again, but Uncle Qi was curious about why this plum vase was worth 100 million.
Later, as long as I allow it, he will also make the story of Mei Ping public.
"We will deal with the matter of plum ping later. Now, uncle Qi will leave it here for a while to feel happy."
I said jokingly, "But this bottle is indeed unique in the entire Southern Song Dynasty."
After that, we went back to the hall to talk about the matter.
"Yeah, you didn't even show me that bottle!"
Only then did Su Yu remember that I "caught" a bottle in Jingjiang.
"I'll talk about it when I go to your house for dinner tonight."
When it was almost time to get off work, a group of us took Zhou Jianguo's car to the entrance of Dongxing Pedestrian Street and picked up Chen Cheng and others.
After talking about the matter, we went to the seventh uncle's house together.
Of course, this is not the first time that Chen Cheng and I have gone to Uncle Seventh's house. We have lived there for a long time.
Not long after, we arrived at the yard of Uncle Seventh’s house.
Unexpectedly, the seventh uncle actually held an open-air banquet.
All dishes are placed in the courtyard.
Maybe this kind of banquet, which is close to a barbecue, might be more interesting in the wild, but it also has a different flavor in the yard of the Seventh Uncle's villa.
There was a plum vase in the middle of the round table, and while we were waiting, we sat around and ate and drank.
Maybe Uncle Seven placed the banquet here out of environmental considerations.
"Shen Fan, how about the hall over at Fu Min Hua Niao?"
While eating, Chen Cheng leaned slightly towards me and asked.
"The bathroom has been almost cleaned. What about your side?"
We were like two couples running a small business, telling each other about the situation.
"The business has stabilized. In fact, this hall can be taken care of by Chen Zebin and Zhang Zijian."
“Or you can leave it to Amelia Su.”
Chen Cheng said after thinking.
I actually think so too. As my apprentices, Liu Jiahao and Lu Yunchuan, I want to keep them by my side to teach them.
In addition, the Dongxing Pedestrian Street store itself sells gadgets, and I have seen and confirmed the goods. I don’t think it will be a big problem to hand them over to Chen Zebin and Zhang Zijian.
First of all, Chen Zebin can be regarded as a hidden multi-millionaire now. Being a business owner is just a personal interest.
Although Zhang Zijian was working in the hall, he was under Fu Biao, so he was equivalent to those two salaries and was not short of money.
As for Su Yu, I think her current ability should be able to manage a Tangkou.
After that, I plan to expand my business mainly focusing on enriching people’s flowers and birds.
"Shen Fan, is it time to talk about the mystery of this bottle?"
After dinner was almost finished, the seventh uncle slowly said, "I asked many experts to identify it, but they couldn't figure out the origin of this bottle."
"However, judging by the machine, this bottle is from the Southern Song Dynasty."
he added.
"This bottle was recently excavated from an ancient tomb in Jingjiang."
I spoke slowly, "Besides the inscription on it, if you look inside the bottle, you can see the jade seal of the Southern Song Dynasty royal family."
After saying this, the seventh uncle immediately ordered someone to pick up the bottle, and then he did find a seal at the bottom of the inside of the bottle.
"This is……"
When the seventh uncle saw the mark inside, he frowned and fell into deep thought, "It is indeed a jade seal."
He once saw what the emperor's jade seal of the Song Dynasty looked like.
"Then...this should be from the royal kiln?"
As he spoke, he frowned and looked at me, "Is this tomb owner a prince?"
But the seventh uncle immediately shook his head, "If it's the royal family, it should be in the imperial mausoleum in Lin'an City, right?"
"This is an illegitimate child."
"But this involves a piece of unofficial history."
I slowly said, "My master once showed me some related things, which ordinary experts should not know about."
"According to my estimation, there will not be more than ten experts from all over the capital who know the origin of this bottle."
After my explanation, Uncle Qi's expression became much more relaxed.
I don't see greed in his eyes, just curiosity about the historical value of this bottle.
Unlike Liu Qingzhong or Uncle Lei, he immediately became greedy after learning about this unique thing.
"According to the subject matter, this bottle is indeed worth 100 million, even priceless."
