After replying a message, Xia Xiaoyu took a shower and fell asleep.
He slept so darkly that if Aunt Mei hadn't knocked on the door and asked him to have lunch, Xia Xiaoyu would have slept until dark.
I got up in a daze, looked at the time, and found that it was already half past twelve noon.
Xia Xiaoyu suddenly remembered the text message Hua Moran sent last night.
I picked up my phone and checked the time, luckily it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
After washing up in a daze, eating, saying hello to Aunt Mei, Xia Xiaoyu went out.
On the way, he took the initiative to call Hua Moran, but the other party's phone was indeed turned off.
Xia Xiaoyu was very confused, what would happen if the other party found him?
Could it be that something happened to Hua Xiaoan?
Thinking of Hua Xiaoan, Xia Xiaoyu misses her a lot. That quirky little girl is really lovable.
After hailing a taxi and arriving in the city, Xia Xiaoyu checked the time. It was three o'clock in ten minutes.
I picked up the phone and was about to call Hua Moran again, but the other party called me.
"Mr. Xia, I'm sorry, my phone ran out of battery just now. I have reserved a seat at Shuigong Pavilion. When you arrive, tell me your name and someone will take you up."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Xiaoyu went straight to Shuigong Pavilion.
Provincial capital, Nanming Road.
Shuigongge is a famous Hunan restaurant, and it also accommodates the specialty seafood delicacies of the Seafood Restaurant.
As soon as you enter the lobby, you are attracted by the unique decoration here.
The carved dragon pillars, glass walls, and the most shocking thing is that the aquarium at your feet is comparable to the aquarium.
Turtles, seahorses, and jellyfish swim freely in the glass wall under your feet. As soon as you enter the lobby, you will have the illusion of being in the deep sea.
As soon as Xia Xiaoyu came in, he was warmly received by the beautiful receptionist. After learning that he was Mr. Hua's guest, the receptionist was even more polite and took the initiative to take Xia Xiaoyu to the private room on the fifth floor.
As soon as he entered the private room, Xia Xiaoyu saw Hua Xiaoan.
"Uncle!" Hua Xiaoan was stunned for a moment, then ran over excitedly and threw herself into Xia Xiaoyu's arms.
The fresh fragrance came from Hua Xiaoan, and Xia Xiaoyu patted Hua Xiaoan's shoulder gently: "Okay, okay, after a while, you will stick to me."
"Uncle, why are you here? Did my mother call you?" Hua Xiaoan blinked her big eyes.
"How do you know?" Xia Xiaoyu smiled.
Hua Xiaoan pouted, dissatisfied: "Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't be left out here alone."
The little girl was unhappy at being left out and complained with her lips pouted.
"Where is Mr. Hua?" Xia Xiaoyu asked.
"I went to make a call. I heard that a lot of people will be here soon, and there will be some antique appraisal." Hua Xiaoan said next.
Xia Xiaoyu was very curious: "Antique appraisal?"
Why didn't I hear Hua Moran mention this matter? If it really happened, she should have said it earlier.
Xia Xiaoyu suddenly remembered that Hua Moran didn't seem to know his ability, maybe she only knew about his superb medical skills.
The two did not continue to discuss the topic of Hua Moran, but talked about what they had done during this time.
Hua Xiaoan hadn't seen Xia Xiaoyu for a long time, and finally had the opportunity to open up a conversation and tell him a lot about what had happened recently.
Just as the two were chatting heatedly, the private room door was pushed open, and Hua Moran walked in with a dozen middle-aged and elderly men in suits and ties.
When Hua Xiaoan saw her mother coming, she hurriedly got up and walked over.
"Mom, uncle is here." Hua Xiaoan laughed happily.
Hua Moran nodded to Xia Xiaoyu, and then warmly entertained the group of middle-aged and elderly men.
After everyone sat down, Hua Moran briefly introduced everyone's identities. After these people became familiar with each other, they briefly chatted, but among them there was a middle-aged man and an old man who looked at Xia Xiaoyu curiously.
"Mr. Hua, who is this young man?" The gray-haired old man was curious as to why there was a young man in today's game.
Hua Moran smiled apologetically: "This is my daughter's friend. Don't worry about it. Let's eat and chat later."
Xia Xiaoyu felt slightly unhappy. Being introduced like this by Hua Moran, he felt a little left out.
The white-headed old man moved the corner of his mouth, glanced at Xia Xiaoyu, and then started chatting with the people around him.
Hua Moran called the waiter, ordered Shuigong Pavilion's specialties, and ordered a few bottles of Wuliangye.
Xia Xiaoyu was in a transparent state throughout the whole process. Soon the waiter brought the dishes to the table. The table was filled with delicacies. Wuliangye filled the cups. Hua Moran stood up and made an opening statement, and then cut to today's theme.
"I am honored to have such a game with you this time. I think everyone knows that the antique market is becoming increasingly popular nowadays, and all of you here are antique lovers. I call you here today. The first is appreciation, the second is to identify authenticity, and the third is
It's an auction, and everyone must want to see some rare treasures." Hua Moran's words aroused everyone's curiosity.
"Mr. Hua, what good thing did you bring out today?" the white-haired old man asked proactively.
"Paintings, bottles, and jade, these three items have been popular items since ancient times. Everyone should be interested, right?" Hua Moran didn't specify which dynasty he meant, but throwing out these three items would surely make these people covetous for a while.
Everyone was talking a lot, but Xia Xiayu and Hua Xiaoan were quietly tasting the food.
"Mr. Hua, you have only been in the industry for a short period of time. What good things can you come up with? You won't be making some fakes to make us happy, right?" Sitting opposite Hua Moran, a fat man with a big head and big ears choked out.
"Mr. Lai, do you mean that I, Hua Moran, don't understand antiques?" Hua Moran looked at the fat man with a sullen face and hostility.
"Mr. Hua, I didn't say that, but as everyone here knows, you are just a layman." Lai Huan looked at everyone and smiled.
Everyone nodded in acquiescence. If it weren't for the Hua family's sake, they really wouldn't come to this game today.
"Mr. Lai, you can't decide whether you understand or not. We can see the truth with our eyesight." Hua Moran is not a soft persimmon. The other party is so provocative. If he doesn't regain the situation, his face will really be lost.
"Okay! I want to see how your Hua always comes to the conclusion." Lai Huan laughed disdainfully.
Hua Moran picked up the phone and dialed a number, and soon four young men walked in with four wooden boxes of different sizes.
Everyone looked at the wooden box curiously and started talking. They all knew that the old man of the Hua family had a hobby of collecting, which is why they insisted on coming even though they knew that Hua Mo Ran didn't understand.
If you can catch the leak in Hua Moran's hands, you will make a lot of money.
"Brother, how do you identify the authenticity of the antiques they talk about? Do you have clairvoyance?" Hua Xiaoan turned around and asked curiously.
Xia Xiaoyu touched her head: "Antiques depend on the texture, age, material, and coating. Use these to distinguish the age and authenticity."
The two people's voices were not loud, but they were just enough to be heard by everyone.
Lai Huan looked over with a smile, "Hey, you are pretending to be a master at a young age. You don't know the three-legged cat kung fu. Did you learn it from Mr. Hua?"
"Lai Huan, what do you mean? You look down on me for becoming a monk?" Hua Moran was dissatisfied.
"No, no, absolutely not. How can I look down on Mr. Hua? I just think this guy is an eyesore, and he talks nonsense and thinks he is an expert." Lai Huan glared at Xia Xiaoyu with disdain. (To be continued)
