004, the old shop is a hundred years old, only on the street side
While walking back, Cheng Tianle's ribs kept aching. He felt dizzy and a little nauseous. It was very hot and he had walked such a long way. Maybe he had a heat stroke? As he walked, he felt symptoms on his forehead.
He was sweating and his feet were a little weak. Originally, he was holding Liu Shujun's arm, but now he was holding his shoulders and supporting the girl while walking.
Liu Shujun is so patient, well-trained, and good-natured! She didn't look impatient or disgusted at all. She even took out a tissue from the Xiaokun bag she carried with her, turned her face to the side and wiped Cheng Tianle's chin and forehead very gently.
While wiping, he whispered: "Look at you, you're sweating so much! Sit down for a while, then go back and have a good rest after eating."
Cheng Tianle was very touched. He was a little embarrassed to hold the girl's shoulder while walking, and now he was wiped by the beautiful girl's gentle hands holding a tissue. Where can he find such a considerate girl in the world? She is so kind to him! All day long.
Le turned his head and glanced at Yu Fei behind him and said, "Mr. Yu is also sweating a lot. Why don't you wipe it for him?"
Liu Shujun replied: "Handsome boy, I just like to wipe your sweat, but I don't like to wipe it for Mr. Yu."
Just between asking and answering, Cheng Tianle felt that he had calmed down. The discomfort just now disappeared. It seems that the gentle hands of this little beauty really have magic power. Wiping the sweat can relieve fatigue. Cheng Tianle smiled and said
: "Thank you. I feel much better as soon as you wipe the sweat like this. I really feel better!... Hey, isn't that the Rongyang Building you mentioned in front of me? Let's go to dinner quickly. I'll treat you!"
Hearing this, Yu Fei secretly thought in his heart: "Are you treating me? Why didn't you say that just now! Otherwise, why would I have brought you to Rongyang Tower? You just entered the restaurant and made me hungry this afternoon!"
Many modern people's impressions of "hundred-year-old brands" basically come from media advertising, such as such-and-such pharmacy, such-and-such restaurant, such-and-such cakes, etc., especially those restaurants, which are often opened in bustling business districts where people come and go.
, hanging large antique plaques, such as Deyue Tower on Guanqian Street, Suzhou.
In fact, the so-called century-old store is nothing more than that there was such a store or such a sign a hundred years ago. A hundred years later, the store is still there or the sign is put up again. It may be because of luck, it may be that future generations will follow suit, or it may be good quality and good price.
Lian is just a small shop on the street. It is not a high-end place, such as the Rongyang Building next to Shantang Street. The building actually does not have a building, it is just a very ordinary street-facing bungalow. If it were not for the red paper on the glass
The words "Centennial Rongyang Tower - National Registered Trademark" on the wall did not attract the special attention of passers-by at all.
It is a noodle shop in the old living area. Most of the customers are neighbors from the nearby area. It is not a restaurant or hotel. Cheng Tianle couldn't help being stunned when he walked in. He originally thought it was a big hotel where he could order a few dishes and buy a few bottles of wine.
, I didn’t expect this place to be like a breakfast shop in an alley in Shanghai.
The "century-old shop" Rongyanglou only sells four things: noodles, wontons, soup dumplings, and pan-fried pancakes, and the prices are very cheap. The cheapest poached egg noodles and small wontons cost three yuan a bowl, and the most expensive large shrimps
The double-topped noodles cost only 11 yuan and 80 cents. Cheng Tianle read it right, the most expensive "meal" in this restaurant is only 11 yuan and 80 cents, and it's still spot-on. It's a characteristic of Suzhou's old residential areas!
Liu Shujun saw Cheng Tianle in a daze, and whispered beside him without changing his expression: "Our company's corporate culture first of all emphasizes financial management and the most reasonable consumption. This Rongyanglou is a century-old brand in Suzhou, we can use the most reasonable
You can taste the real characteristics of Shantang Street in your consumption, handsome man, don’t you think so? Have you seen this kind of century-old brand before?”
Cheng Tianle came back to his senses and laughed out loud: "I've seen it before, of course I've seen it before! When I lived in Shanghai, there was a snack bar nearby called 'Yi Hu Chun', which is said to be a century-old brand. He only sold two items.
The food, pan-fried buns and beef soup, actually mainly pan-fried buns, but just eating the pan-fried buns is too greasy and easy to choke, so I added a bowl of soup."
Why is he smiling so happily? Because before entering the door, he said he wanted to treat a guest, and he was already prepared to shed some blood. If he didn't express it, he would also feel sorry for the beautiful woman holding his arm while shopping and Yu Fei, who was carrying a backpack all the way! The result was...
When he walked in, he found that it was such a cheap noodle shop. It turned out that Yu Fei and Liu Shujun brought him here to eat. Where could he find such a considerate person?
Cheng Tianle waved boldly after entering the door: "I've agreed to treat you, but no one of you is rushing to pay the bill. Don't be polite, just order casually!"
Yu Fei was really hungry. He ordered a pair of noodles with shrimp and pork ribs, and another one with fried fish and braised pork noodles. Finally, he finished a plate of pan-fried buns. Liu Shujun was a little more polite, but also
I didn't eat less. I first had a bowl of small wontons to quench my thirst, then I ate half a cage of soup dumplings, and finally I ordered a portion of double-topped noodles. Cheng Tianle was a little surprised. This girl looked very delicate, but she had a big appetite!
Maybe he was tired from shopping with him. He felt a little apologetic and said to himself: "When I get rich, I will definitely invite them to a real century-old hotel in Suzhou and have a good meal!"
The way Yu Fei was eating noodles now didn't look like a senior executive of a large multinational company at all. Maybe their corporate culture was really simple, but Cheng Tianle didn't take it to heart at all. He ate a bowl of big noodles.
, half a cage of soup dumplings, I felt full, and my attention was completely attracted by the TV program while eating.
There was a TV hanging on the wall of the hotel, and the shop owner and waiters would sit and watch it when they had free time. Cheng Tianle's seat was right in front of the TV. He saw a very interesting program and was made to giggle. Liu Shujun didn't
Xie raised his head and asked: "Handsome guy, what are you laughing at?"
Cheng Tianle pointed at the TV: "Look, that painting is so interesting. It depicts Shantang Street! That person actually said it was an ancient painting from the Tang Dynasty, and even took it to the scene for expert appraisal and appeared on a TV show!" The voice said
Before it fell, the boss and several waiters who were watching TV all laughed loudly. The shop owner was drinking tea and sprayed all over the table.
What on earth is so exciting? What is playing on the TV is a special program, co-organized by CCTV and Suzhou TV, called "Treasure Hunt - Entering Suzhou".
As investment in collections continues to heat up in recent years, in line with the principle that the people like to hear and see, the original serious cultural relic identification work has also had the function of entertaining the public, and has become a program with guaranteed ratings. Due to the advantage of expert resources, the Central Committee
and Beijing TV Station are the most outstanding in this type of program.
In order to compete with local satellite TV variety entertainment programs, CCTV's related program teams also went out of Beijing and planned one issue after another special program on treasure hunting and appreciation in various places, setting off one round of excitement after another, just like "Heart to Heart"
The "Heart" concert is almost the same. Every time we find a place to cooperate, this program went to Suzhou.
In the ancient city of Suzhou for more than 2,000 years, even the wood carvings removed from the beams of some old houses can be called exquisite works of art. Of course, Suzhou's folk "treasure holders" have collected a large number of precious cultural relics. As for the whereabouts of these ancient relics
What is the value in today's collection market? Many people come to the appraisal site with expectations and ask domestic authoritative experts to take a look.
But the highlight of this program is not the appearance of any precious cultural relics, but a stunning "ancient painting"!
The program Cheng Tianle saw looked like a live broadcast, but in fact it was recorded a week ago, and all the pictures were edited. The scene of the program at that time was another situation -
…
The host shouted: "Now let's invite Mr. Li, the treasure holder No. 8, to come on! ... The treasure Mr. Li brought today is a complete ancient painting from the Tang Dynasty, with a height of 32.8 centimeters and a length of 100 meters.
29.7 cm, vertical scroll, depicting the scenery and characters after the Shantang River was built during the Baoli Period of the Tang Dynasty. If authenticated, its value is immeasurable and will become our treasure hunt - Entering Suzhou.
The biggest gain from the event! Let’s wait and see whether this painting is authentic from the Tang Dynasty.”
With the sound of music, treasure holder No. 8 walked onto the stage, holding a vertical scroll in his hand. According to the requirements of the program, before handing over the "treasure" to experts for appraisal, the treasure holder first had to introduce the origin of the collection.
, as for whether what he said is true or false, only he himself knows.
The name of this "treasure holder" is Li Wan. He is thirty-six years old this year. He is fair and fat and has a very kind appearance. He opened a system integration company called "Anjietong" in Suzhou, which mainly deals in network communications.
, security monitoring, etc., and the business is doing well. The painting in his hand was obtained by chance. He spent 8,000 yuan on it at an old bookstall. It has several inscriptions and seals from past dynasties.
, it seems that different people have collected it in history, but none of them are famous artists. According to the identification of a knowledgeable friend of his, the painting is an authentic work from the Tang Dynasty, and it depicts the scenery when Bai Juyi just dug the Shantang River.
An authentic work from the Tang Dynasty! Not only is it a rare antique, but it also has important historical value. How much is it worth? I thought I bought it for 8,000 yuan, but now I don’t even think about it for 800,000 yuan. Even 8 million yuan can’t stop it.
It must be at least 80 million, maybe more, it might be a national treasure! But can it be real? Li Wan felt extremely uneasy, and the hand holding the scroll was trembling slightly.
.
But he still tried his best to stay calm and his voice did not tremble. He truthfully introduced the origin of the painting in his hand. He accidentally bought it at an old bookstall for 8,000 yuan a few years ago. At that time, he did not think that it was from the Tang Dynasty.
It was an authentic work, because the scroll and mounting marks were too new, and the picture was intact with almost no damage. However, there were inscriptions and postscripts from collectors in the late Qing Dynasty on the painting. Even if it was a copy by a later generation, it was still very valuable, so he bought it.
Later, after a friend's appraisal, he believed that this was an original painting from the Tang Dynasty. I don't know why it can be kept so new, but it also shows its value! With the mentality of giving it a try, Li Wan brought this painting to
Show scene. Normally, this painting is locked in the iron cabinet in his office and has never been taken home. He is afraid that his wife will get hurt if she finds out that he spent 8,000 yuan to buy such a thing.
scolded.
Although he was excited, Li Wan still spoke clearly and thought clearly. He truthfully introduced the origin of the ancient painting and explained why he bought it at such a low price. Because the boss selling the painting also believed that it was not authentic, but he had an idea.
Knowledgeable friends said with certainty that the painting was from the Tang Dynasty. Li Wan had not forgotten to be cautious and did not introduce his name and true identity in public - if the painting was real, he was carrying a huge treasure.
You can't reveal your innocence!
After "Treasure Holder" Li Wan introduced himself, he carefully handed the scroll to the three experts on the stage for appraisal. Both parties wore white gloves. Sitting in the middle of the stage was Zhou, the chief expert of this appraisal event.
Xiaoxian.
