A silver wine pot with gold rims and carved patterns was originally nothing worthy of Chu Long's attention. It was just a wine pot from China. But why did Chu Long spot it at first sight after he entered the door?
Chu Long's memory seemed to be turning over a page quickly. A delicate and beautiful woman in her twenties was wiping a wine bottle. Its appearance was exactly the same as what Chu Long saw in front of her.
This wine pot has its special name in China, called Yin Yang Pot, and also has a nice and elegant name called Jiuqu Yuanyang Pot. This wine pot was the first one Aldrich’s father, Alger, bought when he went to China.
Items with Chinese elements. Aldrich (Chu Long)’s parents kept this item with deep commemorative significance very well. Since he was a child, Aldrich saw his parents frequently wiping it, which gave him great inspiration.
Left an indelible impression.
There are many traces of this nine-bend mandarin duck pot in Chinese history, but it is generally used to kill and take human lives. Aldridge has read many ancient books and mentioned this wine pot many times. In ancient China,
A female disciple of the great poet Qu Yuan died after accidentally drinking poisoned wine from the Jiuqu Yuanyang Pot.
, Qu Yuan once eulogized "Ode to the Orange" for him. Aldrich has liked to hear stories about such ingenious devices since he was a child. For China and related things that he has only heard of but never been to, it is like a mysterious veil covering China.
, Aldrich is even more interested in it and knows a lot about it.
During the Warring States Period in ancient China, there was a woman named Zheng Xiu in the Chu State, who ordered the Nine-Bend Mandarin Duck Pot to be made. Some people said that she was cunning and cunning in making the pot to harm others, while others said that she was just filling it with wine for the convenience of drinking medicine.
The medicine was later used by others and
Already. But no matter what, history is the evaluation of future generations. No one knows whether it is accurate or not. After all, you have not seen it with your own eyes. Later politicians tampered with the historical truth and confused future generations for some self-interested purposes.
It is not surprising that hearing and seeing are common things.
Aldrich knows a lot about these things. He has heard a lot about things like the Nine-bend Yuanyang Pot. A type of pot called the Rotating Heart Pot is similar to the Nine-bend Yuanyang Pot. The functions are similar, except for the single-wheel mechanism.
The words are ingenious and extraordinary, and my interest in them is increasing.
Seeing this pot again, even if he didn't observe it at close range, Chu Long was completely sure that this pot was the one he had seen when he was a child. Originally, wine pots were rarely seen in foreign countries like the UK.
What's more, with such a similar appearance, the chance is even smaller. The most important thing is that his ship sank in the Virgin Islands. Even Chu Long himself floated to Dover, and several items from the ship appeared in
In the city of London, there is nothing surprising.
After Chu Long entered the store, his eyes were fixed on the glass display cabinet. Corporal Lin En didn't pay much attention to it at first, but for a long time Chu Long just stood there without moving. This made Corporal Lin En discover it.
Asked: "Chu, what are you looking at?"
"Corporal, help me check, where does this pot come from?" Chu Long pointed at the nine-curved mandarin duck pot in the glass display case and said.
"Okay, I'll have someone check it out." Corporal Lin En didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and walked towards the door of the store. He called a police officer outside the door, told the police something, and then pointed at the Jiuqu Yuanyang Pot.
.
The police officer at the door walked into the store to take a closer look, looked at the Nine-curved Mandarin Duck Pot in the glass display case, nodded to Corporal Linn, and walked out of the store.
After Chu Long saw Corporal Lin's arrangements, they walked toward the store together.
Under the stairwell between the second and first floors is the counter on the first floor. A wall-mounted electric fan is installed on the wall beside the counter. A French-style leather armchair is placed inside the counter. On the side of the counter
There is a dark foot mat, which is clearly used for guests to step on. Walking further inside, it is John's private space.
Opposite the stairs was a tightly closed door. Corporal Linn pulled it casually and the door was slowly opened. A strange smell came from inside. Corporal Linn immediately closed the door again. Let's go.
Chu Long, who was in the back, knew this was the bathroom the moment the door opened. Since discovering the special changes in his body, it can be said that his body has changed every day. In addition to his body becoming stronger, his perception of the five senses has also increased. This
That's why the moment the door was opened, it was determined to be the bathroom.
Opposite the bathroom, in front of the stairs on the second floor, there is a wooden shoe cabinet. In front of the shoe cabinet is a pair of brown leather shoes. The sides of the shoes are slightly damaged but they are very clean. You can imagine that they have been worn for a while.
It's time.
"What's John's leather shoe size?" Chu Long asked.
"Yes sir, we have checked it," said the police officer at the end.
"John is a bit of a germaphobe." Chu Long said, looking at the shoe cabinet and Corporal Linn.
"You can see that the shoes and shoe cabinet have been worn for a long time, but they are spotless and wiped clean."
"I noticed this as soon as I entered the store. The floor was very clean and there was no dust on the table legs. It can be said that he pays great attention to the image of the store. But the bathroom door has obviously been remodeled, otherwise it would be impossible to open the door without opening the door.
There's no smell. Considering the condition of the shoe cabinet, I guess the upstairs is also very clean." Chu Long said without waiting for Corporal Lin En to speak.
"Master of Reasoning, let's go!" Corporal Lin En looked around carefully and then said to Chu Long.
When Chu Long heard this, he nodded and walked forward with Corporal Lin En.
"That's the kitchen over there, and there's a door on the side that leads directly to the backyard. Next to the door from the kitchen that leads to the backyard, we found a broken cup and coffee scattered all over the floor." Inspector Upton, who was walking in front, inspected a group of people.
At the end of the building, talk to Corporal Linn.
Under the leadership of Inspector Upton, Chu Long and Corporal Linn came to the innermost kitchen on the first floor. Entering the kitchen, the most conspicuous things were the broken cup fragments on the ground and a piece of coffee splashed everywhere.
While listening to Inspector Upton's words, Chu Long looked at the layout of the kitchen. In Chu Long's opinion, the decoration of the kitchen was better than the public sales area of the store, and the overall appearance was so warm. First of all,
It feels like home.
The kitchen has both British rigor and American "naturalness". The tables and chairs in the kitchen are in warm wooden tones, and the wall colors are more nostalgic. The Carrara marble countertops provide a natural touch surface, and the sunlight coming in makes the interior layered.
Feel clearly and feel relaxed physically and mentally.
There is a semi-automatic toaster (bread machine) on the marble countertop, and uneaten slices of burnt bread are placed on the plate next to it. Pans and other kitchen necessities are hung on several hooks on the wall, which saves space.
It is also easy to take. One or two pots of flowers stand quietly on the windowsill of the kitchen, which makes the kitchen more homey. A Matai mixer washing machine is placed in the corner of the kitchen, making the spacious kitchen not look too big.
