World Tibet Bureau

the next morning.

Yan Xiaoyue called me and said that her father had agreed to let me take Xiaozhu to visit his studio and invite us to have breakfast.

Miscellaneous Hades would certainly agree.

I am his savior.

Now that the stronghold of the demon capital has been pulled out, the lunatics have fled.

Yan Wang no longer has any threats.

Whatever request I make now, he will satisfy.

After washing.

I took Xiao Zhu out, and Fatty Xiao followed.

I said to him, "Don't come."

Fatty Xiao's eyes widened when he heard the words, and his face was speechless: "Suzi, why can't I enter the Palace of the King of Hades for a visit? It's my love to co-operate with Xiaozhu!"

I replied: "I only asked to take Xiaozhu, I didn't say I would take you, it's not appropriate."

Fatty Xiao said, "Then why am I staying in the hotel?"

I said, "Go and wash our clothes!"

Fatty Xiao: "What the hell..."

Xiaozhu giggled beside him, and said, "Brother Xiao, this is called evil will be rewarded with evil! Who told you to change a few sets of clothes for me to wash in Jinling a day, and ask me to cook all kinds of meals for three meals, it is really right! "

Xiao Zhu and I went out and took a taxi.

Miscellaneous Yan Wang and Yan Xiaoyue were waiting for us at the door of a sausage noodle shop.

After meeting us.

Yan Wang smiled all over his face: "Boss Su, you sold Gao Fenghan's fairy-covering-face inkstone at a bargain price."

I replied, "It's more than worth it to me."

Yan Wang replied: "Not for the old man. I have collected miscellaneous items all my life, and there are several types of fairy-covering objects, but I have never seen inkstones. It can be regarded as making up for the old man's regret. 260 million, no Expensive or not."

When I heard it, I was a little confused.

At that time, the price I offered Yan Xiaoyue was 140 million, why is it 120 million more now?

Yan Xiaoyue's pretty face suddenly flustered, and she hurriedly took Yan Wang's hand: "Dad... let's stop talking, let's go to breakfast."

Yan Wang said, "Okay."

The old man took the lead and entered the sausage noodle restaurant.

Yan Wang said: "The old man spent a lot of time in Guangdong Province in the early years. He has no feelings for other things, and he loves rice rolls very much. But after returning, the rice roll shop opened in Shanghai felt uncomfortable no matter how he ate it, so he opened it himself. I bought a room, and I come to eat a plate every morning, which is also a hobby in my later life, the two of you can taste it."

No wonder he wants to treat us to breakfast.

Dare to feel that this store is opened by himself.

After the food came up, we were not polite and started to eat.

It is indeed delicious.

But if you want to say it's not authentic, I can't say.

Because how about the authentic Guangdong rice rolls, I have never eaten it.

Xiaozhu asked: "Master, your rice rolls are mainly for authentic soup."

When Yan Wang heard it, his expression was extremely surprised: "Miss Xiaozhu, what do you say?"

Xiaozhu replied: "You use Luoding soy sauce from Guangdong Province to make the soup, and you can pour it to have this authentic sea flavor. Many chefs will use more Luoding soy sauce to brew some stale seafood. To cover up the lack of umami taste of the ingredients. In fact, if Luoding soy sauce is missing, the rice rolls are actually the same as those in other stores.”

The spoon in Yan Wang's hand stopped, and asked: "Miss Xiaozhu, have you ever been a cook?"

Xiao Zhu giggled, but didn't answer.

Xiaozhu is a life-saver. She had to learn everything when she was a child, and she was very good at cooking. In the past at the "Chu Xiao Xu" restaurant, Xu Qing was full of praise for her cooking skills. She knew it was normal.

I replied for her: "Indeed, she worked as a cook in Jinling for a while."

When Yan Wang heard this, his expression was full of admiration: "You really can't judge by appearance! What the little girl said about rice rolls just now reminded me of an old saying in the ancient Tibetan world, which is called nothing can be true. Cooking is actually the same as in ancient times. , Only by grasping its original appearance can the original taste be restored."

When Xiao Zhu heard this, he was thoughtful.

Yan Wang has already begun to take the initiative to talk about Tibetan ancient times from cooking, which proves that the old man really wants to repay the favor I saved him before, and he is not afraid that he will not teach Xiaozhu some miscellaneous unique skills when he is in the studio.

Yan Xiaoyue, on the other hand, was shaking her feet, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, she pursed her lips and said, "This classmate Xiao Zhu has such a good job, but he is hated by others. He can fight, do miscellaneous things, cook, and is gentle. like a kitten..."

About Xiaozhu's ability to fight, Yan Xiaoyue was not there when he was betting with Yue Antiques before, but his subordinates must have told her about it.

Xiaozhu's face turned red immediately.

Yan Xiaoyue wanted to continue talking, but after being glared at by Yan Wang, she didn't say anything more.

finish breakfast.

I thought I was going out to the studio.

Miscellaneous Hades took me through the back kitchen of the hotel, into an alley, and turned to an empty studio.

Empty studio interior with a dark wall.

Opening the dark wall, it turned out to be Yan Wang's studio.

I finally know why he opened this sausage noodle restaurant.

Hidden away in the city.

The rice noodle restaurant was opened to cover up that he often ran here, so as not to be discovered that he had a studio there.

The studio is connected by several houses, with an area of ​​[-] to [-] square meters.

I seem to have come to a small miscellaneous museum.

The lacquered wooden teeth of the ticket book, the thick pillow lock of the coin fan...

A dazzling array of everything.

There are some broken things and tools on the ground, obviously used by Yan Wang when making fakes.

After entering the studio, Yan Wang became excited, took us like visiting a museum, and began to introduce us one by one.

Xiaozhu's face was full of curiosity, her beautiful eyes widened, and she listened very carefully.

We had asked Yan Wang's opinion beforehand, and we also brought a recording pen in.

Let Xiaozhu record the words of Yan Wang's introduction.

Go back and digest slowly.

What Yan Wang said the most is that nothing is true. The essence of it is that many appraisers like to identify fakes and like to start with antique artifacts. To identify flaws, one must start with the most fundamental physical properties of antiques.

The so-called physical properties, in layman's terms, are what the ancients used this thing for.

I don't know if Xiaozhu understands.

I do understand what Yan Wang means.

For example, most people appraised the hat of the emperor, starting from the hat, and there was no problem at all.But if you think about it from the physical properties of this hat, you can easily see the problem.The physical property of the hat is that the emperor used it for sacrifices and celebrations. In the Tang Dynasty, when copper was banned, it was absolutely impossible to use copper to make the crown hat, which represented the image of the country.

This is the flaw exposed by the nature of antiques.

If I had understood the phrase "Nothing is true", I wouldn't have to waste so many chapters to find the flaws in the hat at that time.

From the perspective of a master counterfeiter, Yan Wang explained how to recognize counterfeit in reverse, which is really refreshing and beneficial.

He has already taught Xiaozhu everything.

Yan Xiaoyue said softly to me: "My father has never had an apprentice. He is like an old professor who has a lot of knowledge. He really wants to teach students, but it is impossible or have the opportunity to teach people. The essence is all explained. The recorded things are equivalent to a miscellaneous encyclopedia."

Seeing that Yan Wang and Xiao Zhu had already moved forward, I asked Yan Xiaoyue, "I'll sell you the inkstone for 140 million, but you told the old man 260 million. Are you cheating like this?"

Yan Xiaoyue gave me a hard look when she heard the words: "You want to take care of me? I want money. It's useful, so don't tell it. It's going to be revealed. My sister will never end with you!"

Today's visit is planned for one day.

In fact, to sink, it would take half a year to digest the things here.

At noon, Yan Xiaoyue ordered food and came in to eat.

By the end of the evening, both Yan Wang and Xiao Zhu had something to say.

Xiaozhu bowed deeply to the old man to express his gratitude.

Yan Wang's voice was a little hoarse, he laughed straight away.

I let Yan Xiaoyue and Xiaozhu go out first.

They didn't know why, so they went out first.

I said to Yan Wang: "Old man, thanks for reminding Xiao Zhu. Today's visit is not my main purpose. I have an important question that concerns my own life and death. I beg you to tell me the truth."
