With nothing to do, Shen Yu read all the porcelain calligraphy and paintings in "Tianzi Pavilion".
Not to mention, there are really a few good things, including several pieces of blue and white pastel from the official kilns of the Jiaqing period, and even an authentic piece of Wang Shimin, one of the four kings of the early Qing Dynasty.
Although it is a bit dilapidated, millions of antique calligraphy and paintings are hanging casually in the hotel. The boss of Yiyuan has to say that it is very grand.
But to say that Shen Yuduo was surprised, this was not the case.
At the last Baoyuan auction held by Zhang Zongbao, Shen Yu met Wei Junjie, the owner of Yiyuan Restaurant. He was a very cheerful person and owned an authentic work of Yan Wengui, a famous artist from the Song Dynasty. From this, it seemed that he was also a very good person. An expert who knows how to identify.
So it’s not too surprising to see an authentic piece of ancient art and a few pieces of official kiln porcelain displayed in his shop.
The market for antiques is so good now. Isn’t it because of the participation of wealthy businessmen like Song Bo and Wei Junjie?
Only if wealthy businessmen like them like antiques, the price of antiques will rise year after year.
If it were just in the hands of collectors, the price would have to drop more than ten times.
Standing in the hall, you can still hear Pei Yuqin and Gu Qingqing talking and laughing.
After pouring himself a cup of hot tea, Shen Yu planned to use the tea to cushion his stomach.
Although his stomach is growling now, today is to celebrate Uncle Song's birthday after all. Uncle Song values himself so much that Shen Yu feels that he has to wait for the old man to come back and say a few words before going out to have a full meal.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, a few minutes later, there was finally the sound of gentle footsteps outside the door.
A few seconds later, three old men walked in.
Except for Uncle Song, the other two are one with gray hair and elegant appearance, while the other is tall and has kind eyebrows and kind eyes.
Shen Yu knew the two old men following Uncle Song. One was Mr. Gu Jingchuan and the other was Pei Yuqin's father, Pei Shao.
"Hello, Mr. Gu, and hello, Uncle Pei."
It stands to reason that Pei Yuqin is only 31 years old this year and is only 30 years old. Pei Shao should not be so old.
But in fact, Pei Shao only got married and had children when he was 38 years old, and he is already 68 years old this year.
According to Pei Shao's age, Shen Yu could call him "Pei Lao", but for some reason, Shen Yu called him "Uncle Pei."
Shen Yu shouted these two words, and Uncle Song, who was walking at the front, was immediately startled, "Xiao Shen, you actually know Brother Gu?"
Uncle Song knew that Shen Yu knew Pei Shao, but he was very surprised that Shen Yu knew Mr. Gu.
Gu Jingchuan is the founder of Dongjiang Taihe Group. How could a young man like Shen Yu know him? Song Bo suddenly became energetic when he thought of this.
Shen Yu explained: "Qingqing and I are classmates, and I lived next to Mr. Gu when we were in Dongjiang. Now Qingqing and Sister Qin are chatting in the lounge."
Uncle Song immediately burst into laughter, "I want to expand your network, but you guys are old acquaintances. Well, since everyone is hungry, call Xiao Qin Qingqing out and let's eat."
The food was served very quickly. Before Shen Yu could exchange a few words with Mr. Gu, all kinds of delicacies were already on the table.
There are not many dishes, but there are four cold and four hot dishes plus a bowl of tomato and egg soup. There are no delicacies. Most of them are vegetarian. This is also to take care of the teeth and appetite of the three elderly people.
It is now close to 7:30 in the evening, and everyone is hungry. Even what Pei Yuqin and Gu Qingqing have eaten tastes extremely sweet.
The whole Tianzi room of Yiyuan Restaurant is equal to three old people and three young people eating.
"Xiao Shen, in the past few months that we have known each other, you have invited me to dinner and tea. I have not invited you once. Please eat more this time."
Shen Yu glanced at the dishes in front of him, smiled reluctantly, and then started to take big gulps of rice into his mouth.
Why use the adjective "braised" because Shen Yu's bowl is already full of vegetables.
Gu Qingqing and Pei Yuqin kept putting vegetables into his bowl. You put a piece of fried tofu, she put a piece of honey pumpkin.
Then Pei Yuqin gave Shen Yu another fried meatball, and Gu Qingqing immediately gave Shen Yu a vegetarian spring roll.
In this way, Shen Yu's bowl immediately piled up a hill.
Seeing Shen Yu wolfing down the rice, Pei Yuqin couldn't help but smile and whispered to Shen Yu, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Knowing that Shen Yu was embarrassed, Pei Yuqin stopped teasing him and asked Uncle Song: "Uncle Song, when I came here, I saw Brother Qiao and Brother Bei were outside in the hall. Anyway, we can't finish all the dishes. Why not ask them to come in and eat too?"
The so-called Brother Qiao and Brother Bei are the eldest son and second son of Uncle Song. The eldest son is called Song Yuanqiao and the second son is called Song Yuanbei.
Uncle Song said bitterly: "The two of them can draw and play the piano, and they are not even as good as Zhizhi. If one of them can resist, why bother letting Zhizhi go to other provinces to discuss business?
"These two traitors have prevented me from seeing my daughter even on my seventieth birthday! How can such people have the right to sit here and eat? Ignore them, let's eat what's ours!"
Gu Lao, the oldest person in the hall, wanted to say a few words of persuasion, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.
The Gu family has prosperous descendants, and the three sons can be said to be the best among men. They manage the Gu family's business in an orderly manner. If he tries to persuade them, it may be counterproductive.
Pei Shao saw Mr. Gu's expression, and after the two looked at each other, Pei Shao nodded lightly.
"I said, Old Man Song, Song Qiao and Song Bei are just studying art, how come they are traitors? They are also very famous in the industry, unlike my Pei Yu'an who knows how to change girlfriends all day long. My head is three inches bigger."
Uncle Song waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Spring is coming. Get the jar of adult Pu'er that Zhizhi bought for me. Brother Gu likes to drink Pu'er, so let him try my good tea."
"Okay, Mr. Song."
Xiao Chunlai responded and immediately ran towards the outer hall.
Mr. Gu asked expectantly at this time: "Old Pu'er? I don't know what year it was?"
Uncle Song chuckled, his face full of high spirits, "What do you think?"
Mr. Gu pondered for a moment, "For a rich man like you to call it aged Pu'er, it must be at least thirty years old, right? Even twenty-year-old tea cannot be acceptable to you."
Uncle Song gently stroked his short beard under his chin, "That's right, what Zhizhi bought me this time was 'Grade 1 Tea'!"
"Oh?"
As soon as Uncle Song said these words, Mr. Gu and Pei Shao both became energetic.
Shen Yu, who was cooking rice next to him, also pricked up his ears.
As we all know, Pu'er tea has a long history and has many benefits. It can lower blood lipids, nourish the stomach, protect the stomach, and beautify the skin.
Pu'er tea can be roughly divided into three types: new tea, old tea and aged tea.
As the name suggests, new tea refers to newly produced tea, which generally refers to tea that is no more than three years old.
Old tea is also called old tea. The age range is different in each place. In some places, it can be called old tea if it is more than five years old, while in some places it can only be called old tea if it is more than 10 years old.
Chen tea is an upgraded version of old tea, also called aged old tea. Only tea that is twenty years old can be called aged Pu'er tea.
The "hao-level tea" mentioned by Song Bo is a treasure among aged Pu'er teas, also known as antique tea.
"Hao" means trade name, which refers to the aged Pu'er tea produced by private firms in the old days. Because tea houses at that time were mostly named after a certain number, they called it Hao-level tea.
Generally speaking, only tea with an age of more than 16 years can be called "high-grade tea".
Just listen to Uncle Song saying again: "When making tea, you need to wash it with hot soup first to remove the dirt before cooking it. However, the specific age of this grade of tea needs to be determined by Brother Gu, a tea gourmet." ."
Uncle Song is right, Pu'er aged tea generally requires tea drinkers to taste it before they can judge its true tea age, so those who can judge the age of Pu'er tea are all tea gourmets.
This is also Uncle Song's disguised way of praising Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu smiled confidently, "Get it quickly and we will determine the age of the tea for you today. The error will definitely not exceed three years."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chunlai did not fetch the tea, but hurried back to the hall and said a few words to Uncle Song.
Uncle Song's expression changed when he heard this.
