Ning Xiaofan knew that some good tea drinkers were very particular about drinking tea, and he didn't know that a fat man could drink like this. However, despite his clumsiness, his hand movements were quite flexible. He could make soup, make tea, and filter in one set of actions.
, flowing clouds and flowing water, it really looks like that.
"Come, have a taste, the best Tieguanyin." The fat man held a small cup of tea with a tea tong and handed it to Ning Xiaofan.
Ning Xiaofan reached out and took it. The tea cup was too small and he drank it in one gulp.
Ning Xiaofan didn't have much research on the tea ceremony. He had seen it before, but it was the first time he tasted it. He couldn't taste anything special. After one cup, the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth. It tasted better than the tea he drank before.
The fat man seemed to know that he didn't understand the tea ceremony, so he didn't let him tell him anything, so he handed Hou San a cup.
"By the way, why did you two think of coming to this tea house to drink tea?" Ning Xiaofan asked, putting down his cup.
Two guys, a fat one and a thin one, were not very harmonious together. Now, the two of them were sitting in an elegant and antique teahouse.
The fat man rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean by remembering? This is the old home of Hou San and I. When we have nothing to do, we usually hang out here. I called you here today mainly to open your eyes."
Ning Xiaofan sneered: "What's so exciting? It's just that the decoration is a bit special and cleaner. There are so many teahouses with this kind of decoration in Jiangnan. Do you really think I'm a bumpkin?"
The fat man seemed to know what he said and chuckled: "Don't admit it, you are just a country bumpkin. You just look at the surface and think this is a tea house. There are many tricks here."
"What kind of fame can it have?" Ning Xiaofan was slightly startled.
"Don't you understand? Ahem..." The fat man cleared his throat and said, "No wonder you don't understand. You are not an insider, so of course you don't know. Let me tell you, this teahouse is actually an underground antique trading place.
Whether it's white, black, or underground, you can trade here, but of course, you won't be able to see the shady trade."
"Antique, do you know how to do this?" Ning Xiaofan felt his heart move after hearing this.
"Nonsense, Fatty doesn't know how to do it, why are you here?" When the fat man said this, he glanced left and right and said, "I'm telling you, someone will be trading some small items here later. I heard
, the small object this time has several gems, maybe it is related to Ditou Bao. Not many people know about Ditou Bao now, and it is usually sold as ordinary gems. If we encounter Ditou Bao, we will sell it..."
It was another local treasure. Ning Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat when he heard it. However, what he was thinking about at the moment was not the mysterious local treasure, but the slang about tomb robbing.
As his mind raced, Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but said: "I'm talking about Big Fatty, are the local treasures you're talking about the burial objects in the ancient tombs?"
"Uh!" Fatty's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he smiled awkwardly: "It's different, it's different. Didn't I tell you that local treasures are treasures that fall from the sky, or treasures that are buried deep in the ground?
The mine has nothing to do with the ancient tomb."
"It really has nothing to do with it?" Ning Xiaofan smiled softly: "I really want to hear that people who do tomb robbing in Beichuan are also called Ditou Bao. Honestly, have you ever done this before?"
"Damn it, are you checking the household registration? Yes, Fatty has done this before, so what happened?" When he asked Fatty, he readily admitted: "Tagging for land treasures is also a technical job. Do you think ordinary people do it?
Come on? Otherwise, Mr. Shen wouldn’t have paid a high salary to invite Fatty to join Xinao Group.”
"So, you made up the name of the gem that is a local treasure? Is there another name?" Ning Xiaofan didn't care about Fatty's previous tomb robbing business. He just wanted to know what the precious gem was.
What's the real name?
The fat man scratched his head and said: "There should be a name, but Hou San and I haven't really come into contact with each other, so we still don't know it clearly, so we used slang instead... Besides, do you call it Ditou Bao or something else?"
All you need to know is that it’s worth something.”
Ning Xiaofan shook his head and said: "That's different. You all can't figure out what that gem is. Even if you have a chance to come into contact with it in the future, what's the use of not recognizing it?"
The fat man said disapprovingly: "If everyone can recognize that thing, it is worthless. To be honest, even if I see it, I may not recognize it. It depends on luck. But Hou San and I got a detection device
, through this device, we can roughly identify the treasures that experts are looking for."
"Equipment, what equipment?"
The fat man smiled proudly, took a black briefcase-like leather bag placed beside him and put it on the coffee table, opened the bag, took out a silver tube from inside, and handed it to Ning Xiaofan.
Ning Xiaofan took it. The tube-shaped object in his hand was made of metal material. It was palm-long and about half an inch in diameter. There was nothing surprising at first glance. However, the front end was inlaid with a transparent chip and there was a small button in the middle. With a slight press, a thin line of
Thin red light instantly shot out from the chip.
Isn't this a small flashlight? However, the light emitted is different. Generally, small flashlights emit white light, but this small flashlight emits red light.
Ning Xiaofan had seen a small flashlight with strong light used by archaeologists to identify antiquities, and it seemed a bit similar, so he asked: "Is this used to identify antiques?"
"The meaning is similar. Those small flashlights used by appraisal experts are specially used to detect jade, porcelain, and ordinary gems. This thing is specially used to detect rare gems. The grade is much higher. Infrared detection can detect the internal structure and density of gems.
With this infrared detector, we can roughly distinguish the rare components of rare gems."
"Where did you get it?"
"This thing is not easy to get. Last time I went to the Sahara, Hou San took a risk and stole it. Hey, it's not easy. Hou San and I were on the periphery at the time and had no chance to go deep into the veins. Later, some experts died in it.
In order to get the expert’s body out, we sent outside handymen in to help get the body out. Hou San took the opportunity to steal these things from the dead expert, stealing two in total.”
Stolen from a dead expert? Ning Xiaofan was stunned for a moment. Hearing the fat man mention Hou San in this way, he realized that Hou San had not spoken for a long time. He turned around and saw Hou San's eyes were straight and staring at him.
He held his hands and looked at it, his eyes obsessed, as if he was possessed by a demon.
Ning Xiaofan looked at his silly look and felt goose bumps all over his body. He said dissatisfiedly: "Hou San, what's wrong with you? Why are you always staring at my hands?"
"Snapped!"
The fat man patted Hou San on the head and cursed: "Hou San, why are you so stupid? Xiaofan is a bit of a girl, you don't have to be a nymphomaniac."
The fat man's slap woke up Hou San. Hou San touched his head and grinned: "Fat brother, didn't I tell you a while ago? I met a pair of hands that are even more awesome than my ancestor."
, these are Brother Fan’s hands.”
After hearing this, the fat man's little eyes suddenly lit up: "The thousand wonderful hands you are talking about are Xiaofan's pair?"
Hou San nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Brother Fan's hands are top quality."
Ning Xiaofan felt uncomfortable and stared: "Stop it, stop it, what a master, what a top-notch product, can't be so cruel to people!"
But the fat man laughed loudly: "You can't find anything after wearing iron shoes. Xiaofan, Xiaofan, I have been thinking about getting you to join my gang for the past two days. Haha, with your wonderful hands, we brothers can live together."
"Damn fat man, what do you mean by that?" Ning Xiaofan was a little confused.
"Hey, I can't explain it to you, let Hou San explain it to you." The fat man said, and patted Hou San on the head again: "Smelly monkey, why don't you hurry up and explain it to Xiao Fan."
Hou Sanping received another slap in the face, and said with an aggrieved look: "Fat brother, if you slap me on the head again, be careful that we lack an intelligent person in our team..."
"You still want to do it, don't you? With your stupid head, you still dare to talk about intelligence in front of the fat man. How can you make the fat man embarrassed?" The fat man said, pretending to slap him on the head again.
"Fat brother, don't fight. You are the think tank, and I am the dog-headed strategist!" Hou San quickly covered his head and begged for mercy.
Ning Xiaofan saw the two people fooling around there and said impatiently: "I said you two are not done yet. How old are you two, and you are still fighting around there?"
As soon as Ning Xiaofan spoke, the fat man stopped and glared at Hou San: "Monkey, hurry up and say it!"
Hou San hurriedly said: "Brother Fan, what Fat Brother means is that in our industry, we need all kinds of talents. Take your hands for example. According to the jargon, your hands are called money-grabbing hands, Taobao hands, and gold-touching hands."
Hands, as long as you are here, when we go to find local treasures, we usually won’t come back empty-handed. This is what our ancestors summed up..."
Ning Xiaofan was confused when he heard this, and interrupted before he could finish his words: "Stop, stop, when you talk about local treasures, do you mean tomb robbers? Or some kind of gems?"
Hou San smiled and said: "Brother Fan, your hands are omnipotent. You can do whatever you want. Let me tell you this. To put it nicely, if you learn piano, you will definitely become a top piano master. To put it lightly, you can definitely become a top piano master. To put it harshly,
If you want to be a three-hander, you will definitely be a master thief; if you want to do tomb robbing, opening coffins to find gold, you will definitely be a first-class gold-finding captain; so, as long as you have these wonderful hands, we can do whatever we want
, whether it’s tomb robbing or gem hunting, with your hands on duty, I will never return empty-handed..."
After Hou San said these words, there were several absolutes in a row, which made Ning Xiaofan stunned for a while.
Growing up, his hands were prettier than those of girls, and he was often laughed at. Even Fatty often laughed at him for having women's hands when he was a child. For this reason, he and Fatty had several fights.
Especially as he grew up, these hands became more and more feminine, crystal white and tender, warm and slender, more feminine than women's hands, so much so that he himself felt a little inferior to these women's hands. After hearing what Hou San said, his hands
So powerful? It seems like he can do anything. This is too weird.
