In Capital City, a forty-nine city, there are many rich people everywhere. Mr. Ji is not ranked among the rich, but he is not a man who is short of money. Even if he smashes a few things worth tens of millions, he only cares about the objects.
If it breaks, I won’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 a mistake when buying something, you have paid the tuition fee, 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 after you buy it, you will be found out to be fake after selling it.
, will definitely be considered as deliberate fraud, which is enough to discredit the buyer overnight.
Ji Lao, who looked gloomy, stood at the table and stared at the water bubbles in the bowl.
There are more and more bubbles in the porcelain bowl, like boiling water, churning, peonies blooming, and the sound of cooing is endless. Another smell gradually appears in the rich medicinal fragrance. I can't tell what it is specifically.
Like rosin, camphor, tung oil, etc., the complex smell rushes into the 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 water surface in the bowl, which was shiny and shiny.
Ji Lao used two pairs of long tweezers to gently stir the grease, and the layer of fat condensed into a thick piece, sticking to the tweezers like a frozen block of suet.
I peeled away the grease and took out the Jade Buddha. It used to be mutton-fat jade, with a slippery surface that left no grease. After a bath, it changed beyond recognition. It transformed into a tooth-white stone-like thing. Its body was severely shrunk, and it was about four inches tall.
.
The test results are immediately clear whether they are true or false.
Milo saw a piece of the object taken out by the store, blinked his eyes, and was very proud of the little Loli kid, um, um, little Lele is so amazing, not only does he know medicine, but he also has the wisdom to discern gold and cut jade.
p>
Ji Lao's face looked very ugly. He put a piece of the thing into another bowl that had been prepared earlier and washed it, rinsed away the grease, wrapped it in a soft cloth and wiped it clean, put it aside, and then fished out a piece from the potion.
Thin round jade pieces, washed clean, the color of the thin jade pieces is like suet, 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, Ji Lao 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's 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
People who are not a medical professional and are not a person of ancient traditional Chinese medicine cannot tell the difference between true and false, but I happen to be a professional, and I only discovered something fishy when I smelled it."
"The little girl is a doctor?" Ji Lao was surprised.
"Yes, I'm a medical student," Le Yun said with crooked eyes and a cute smile, "Old sir, I really don't want to deliberately cause trouble. It's just hard to change one's nature. I smelled something strange and wanted to find out.
, he is also a person who cannot tolerate falsehood in his eyes, so he can’t help but tell the truth.
In fact, if you don't meet Cheng Yaojin like me who came out of nowhere, you would always sell the Jade Buddha. As long as the Jade Buddha does not fall into the fire, basically no one will be able to find out that it is a fake.
Moreover, there is no need for you, boss, to be embarrassed. I guess the person who did this is not doing it for money. The materials used in the fakery are no less than a hundred kinds of medicinal materials and more than 80 kinds of resin or tree sap. It is not easy to collect those things and fuse them.
The latter is called medicated grease, which has many uses. Add medicinal materials to make medicine, and the total value is no less than the price of the Jade Buddha. That person probably had too much time to spare, so he took the precious medicated grease to make a medicine."
The little girl said it lightly, but Mr. Ji almost didn't get angry and start playing pranks? Who was so idle that he made a fake product and leaked it to the market, which almost caused his reputation to be tarnished.
The old man who owned the shop had a sullen face as if it was about to rain heavily. He stared 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 smash the thing into pieces in anger, so she hurriedly restored it.
The true face was covered with a stone: "Old sir, I agreed before that if it is authentic, it will be mine, and it will cost me 10,000 yuan. Businessmen must be honest and cannot raise prices on the ground."
There is a saying that you pay with one hand and deliver with the other. To prevent the old man from going back on his word, Mr. Le Xiao cleverly grabbed the rocks and stuffed them into his backpack, then took out a bunch of speculation tickets and handed them to the shopkeeper.
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 a few times every day to make himself remember the lesson. However, he had already said it before, so he acquiesced to the little girl's suggestion.
The little girl can't break her promise now if the things that are found to be genuine or fake belong to her, she can only let people pack them up and take them away.
After receiving a bunch of banknotes, he did not count them, but asked with interest: "Little girl, what is 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. Le Yun was not afraid of the store's regrets and was happy to tell her.
"Very precious?"
"Stones are not very precious. When did the old gentleman go to a limestone cave and saw stalactites, they were of the same species. Because they were soaked in medicinal grease, their status was upgraded to a higher level, and their medicinal effects are excellent."
"High value?"
"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."
Mr. Ji's mind was spinning quickly: "Little girl, the pill you just used is worth ten thousand?" One pill is worth ten thousand, what kind of panacea is that?
"Ten thousand a piece 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. If someone is half-starved and half-dead, he can survive for another seven or eight days by eating one pill. It can cure general food poisoning."
Mr. Ji's eyes lit up: "Little girl, how about I exchange the cash you paid for a pill?"
"Well, okay, it's just this once, we won't do it next time." Le Yun glared resentfully, as she matured with age, the old man was too shrewd, so it would not be a good idea not to discuss this deal, so we had to close it.
The little girl's expression of cutting flesh lifted Ji Laole's gloomy mood, and he happily handed the cash back to the little girl. The little girl was very accomplished in medicine at a young age, but her temperament was extremely simple.
The effect of the stone is not concealed, and this kind of character is very painful.
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 must be sealed. If there is a jade bottle, it is best to put it in a jade bottle. It must be moisture-proof in a glass bottle. You must also make a statement.
Ah, this is a detoxifying elixir. It can detoxify general poisons, but it does not mean it is omnipotent. It has little effect on special types of poisons. It cannot do anything if the amount of poison exceeds a certain amount. It is not a special detoxification elixir for snake venom.
For people bitten by Budu or Taipan snakes, taking a detoxifying pill can probably protect the injured person's heart from being harmed by the poison for about a day. It cannot save lives. It can only buy time for the injured to be sent to a hospital."
Ji Lao 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 the Taipan snake or the five-step snake venom, it can protect the heart for about 24 hours. It can be seen that
How effective is the medicine?
He wrapped the pills in a piece of clean paper and stored them in a small box. He turned around and said with kindness between his brows: "Little girl, I have a lot of antiques on the second floor. Take a look and see if you like anything."
”
"You keep tempting me to look at antiques because you want to exchange them for pills, right? I don't want to do that. It's getting late and I have to go back."
Le Yun didn't want to be led by the nose, so she left as soon as she was told. She picked up the big-eared rabbit, and said goodbye to the old gentleman with the handsome Milo.
The little girl is a thief and refuses to exchange things for medicine, which shows that her pills are very precious. Mr. Ji can't keep people here, and he doesn't force them. He gives each customer a business card of his shop, and welcomes you to visit next time.
p>
After 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 an obedient manner. Mr. Ji's shop was called "Xinyu Pavilion", which she thought might be taken from "Jade in the Heart, Pearl in the Palm".
” means.
When the little girl called "Mr. Ji", her eyes sparkled. Ji Lao was so impressed that he asked the two guests their last names and sent them downstairs.
Jingde was guarding the first floor. When he saw the old gentleman accompanying the guests down and the guests getting along very happily, he felt unsure. He and the boss saw the guests out of the store. After they had gone away, he returned to the store and saw people around.
There was no one around, so he asked in a low voice: "Mr. Ji, how is the situation?"
"It's fake. Put away the label and certificate of the Jade Buddha and lock it." Mr. Ji walked into the counter and walked to the second floor.
Fake...fake?
Jingde almost fell into a fight. The Jade Buddha was really a fake. Not only were they criticized, but also the experts at the appraisal center were criticized. This..., the money spent to buy the Jade Buddha was considered to be the tuition fee, and the tuition fee was too expensive.
p>
After being shocked, he hurriedly put away the appraisal certificate 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 Milo was staying. It was already 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 a small packet of pills to Milo.
The handsome young man held a small bag containing ten pills, full of surprise: "Xiao Lele, this is very precious. Did you say you won't sell it to others?"
"Don't sell it to people you don't know well. Milo and I are friends. 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 the future.
If necessary, do not give it to Mr. Roberto. The old man cannot take this kind of pills until the rectal tumor is cured."
"Okay." Milo thought for a moment, did not refuse, and put the pill 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 a bus, transferred to a few buses, and arrived at the hotel. It was their first visit to the hotel. Little classmate Le Xiao wanted to buy some small gifts such as fruits, but handsome guy Milo directly
Take the person away and refuse to let them go. The presidential suite in a five-star hotel costs nearly ten thousand a day and everything is provided. It is a waste of money to buy fruit. Besides, Xiao Lele’s willingness to go to the hotel to dine together is his greatest enthusiasm for his godfather.
and goodwill.
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 guest room and living room, placing fruits and pastries sent by the hotel.
After waiting for less than ten minutes, Milo arrived with the little Oriental girl.
Enzo, the old butler, opened the door. Oscar jumped forward happily and shouted in a Chinese with a bit of Beijing accent: "Hello, little oriental beauty! Long time no see. I miss you very much. You haven't been feeling well lately, right?"
”
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, preventing 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 to the little girl who came in: "My dear child, please
Don't mind Oscar's words. What he wants to say is, stay safe. Because his understanding of Chinese is biased, the sentences he composes are prone to ambiguous meanings."
Le Yun entered the hotel suite and took a quick glance at the general situation. The suite was luxuriously decorated, the color was low-key and calm, not exaggerated, and every item was genuine.
She looked at the environment and looked at her nose and heart. When she heard the handsome young man's words, "There is nothing uncomfortable," she almost burst into laughter. She finally suppressed her laughter, and her eyes turned into crescents: "Mr.
Good evening, Mr. Butler, good evening, handsome Oscar, good evening."
"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 me." Being grabbed by the collar, Oscar screamed, using "
Mother tongue, smooth expression.
"Be a gentleman to beautiful women. If you are so rude, you will scare the cute little Lele. You must be gentle and gentle, smile and be polite, don't run rampant, don't hug her randomly, and it is right to protect her like a Chinese giant panda."
"Okay, I understand. Brother Milo, if you hold on to me any longer, I will lose all my face." 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 naughty and troublesome. When he is not serious, you can directly
It won't matter if you kick him a few times, 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, and jumps to the little oriental beauty: "Little beauty, what is Brother Milo talking about me?"
"Milo said that Oscar is 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 into a compliment, and Roberto and Milo smiled with stars in their eyes.
"Did Brother Milo really say that 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 the chance.
Back in front of the little beauty, brother Milo is willing to say good things to her. He is a good brother.
Oscar was sold and he helped count the money. In response, Roberto was also drunk and laughed so hard that he almost couldn't stand up and asked the little girl to take a seat.
Oscar remembered Milo's words about not hugging the little beauty, and did not dare to run to hug the girl again. He happily sat down with Milo to accompany the little beauty. He and Milo sandwiched the little guest between them, and enthusiastically helped peel the fruit.
, make a platter.
Taking advantage of her free time, Le Yun used X-ray vision to scan Roberto. 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. After three months, intestinal disease cells would develop.
Antibodies, which resist the inhibitory effects of drugs.
After observing it once, I had a good idea. Out of caution, I took the old man's pulse and gave the patient confidence: "The current effect of traditional Chinese medicine is still good. It can control the proliferation of diseased cells in a short time. I am still waiting for the medicine, which is expected to be available next week.
The medicine will be prepared next week."
"No hurry, no rush." Roberto seemed reassured and was not in a hurry.
Le Yun didn't understand the aviation and customs rules. She didn't know which items could be brought on the plane and which items couldn't be exported through customs. She specifically discussed this with the old gentleman. If the medicinal materials could be transported by air, the old gentleman would take them back home and take them. If they couldn't be exported,
We can only let the old gentleman stay in the capital for a while and take a dose of medicine before going back.
It will be the same in the future. If air express can be used, international parcels can be sent directly. If air express is not available, the only option is to ask the old man 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, I went to the private room to dine. The private room was quiet and elegant, with one table per private room and a great atmosphere.
Roberto accompanied the guests to their seats, and the hotel's personal butler who had been waiting for him passed on the dishes. Roberto was also a rigorous person. He did not order a lot of food, but carefully selected and carefully considered the twelve dishes. The combination of meat and vegetables was grand and not formal.
Waste.
After the dishes were served, the hotel butler took the waiter away, leaving space for the guests.
People in Yi country love wine, and they are not happy without wine. Enzo is the old housekeeper, Oscar and Milo drink red wine. Roberto is banned from drinking and can only sigh about wine. Little classmate Le is underage and should not drink too much. She and Roberto
Use milk instead of wine.
The level of chefs in a five-star hotel is not something you can boast, and the dishes prepared are full of flavor. Le Xiao students tasted them one by one with the intention of learning. There is a bamboo bird's nest soup on the table, which is the most delicious.
Twelve dishes for four people, except for a lot of chicken and duck left over, basically nothing else was 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. Le Yun 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.
Milo went back to the guest room to help the little Loli kids carry their backpacks and big-eared rabbits, as well as some small gifts they brought from Yi in the boxes.
Le Xiao's classmate originally planned to take the subway back to school, but 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.
