MTL - Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes-Chapter 50 not disgusted with men

  Chapter 50 Don't hate men

  Old Master Qin has always wanted to collect an authentic copy of Bada Shanren, but now he hears that Li Mo actually has a copy, so he still wants to return to the capital.

   "You are the host, you just look at the arrangement, just don't make it too extravagant and wasteful."

  Li Mo did not take them to the hotel, but contacted the three people on his mobile phone, and asked them to prepare the dishes and send them directly to Yu Linglong.

   "Young Master Li, it's rare for Mr. Qin to come here. You're too stingy." Niu Sanpang felt guilty. If he treats guests, it must be the highest-level restaurant with an elegant environment and master-level dishes.

  Even if it’s not the most upscale restaurant, you can choose a hotel with a good environment. You might as well just order takeaway.

"So you live a delicate life, and I live a rough life." Li Mo smiled and continued, "Mr. Qin has never eaten anything, and he still cares about abalone and shark's fin. If you want to eat, eat something different Besides, Si Rui is a public figure, and it is too easy to be recognized in a crowded place, let alone having a meal with peace of mind, even getting away will be troublesome."

   "Three fatty, you are the one who talks a lot." Qin Sirui said coldly, Niu Sanpang immediately shut up and retracted his head, but he was very strange in his heart, this iceberg beauty was actually speaking for Li Mo, a strange thing in the world.

  Master Qin didn't speak, but there was something unclear in his eyes.

  Besides the four of them, the old man was accompanied by two bodyguards. A group of six people and three cars drove towards Yu Linglong.

   About an hour later, three cars drove into the Linjiang luxury residential area.

   "This lot faces the Huangpu River, and the Bund is just a few steps away, and there are buildings from all countries nearby. The house price is not cheap."

   "It's just a place to live anyway."

  When they entered the house, they realized that there was something else inside. There was a room full of Hainan rosewood furniture in the new Chinese style, with a touch of classical charm in simplicity. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows are covered with white curtains, and the sunlight shines in. The whole living and dining room looks spacious and bright.

   "Good boy, you have good taste."

   "It happened that this house was for sale. The taste is far from your old courtyard house."

   "My courtyard is better than quietness, your mansion is better than beautiful scenery, jumping high and looking far away, refreshing."

   "Sit down first, I'll go down to pick up people, the food is here."

   "Grandpa, let me make some tea for you." Qin Sirui walked to the tea table by the window, and began to skillfully boil water, fetch tea, and warm the cup.

  Old Master Qin was stunned for a moment before asking in disbelief: "Si Rui, are you familiar with this?"

  Qin Sirui replied flatly without raising his head: "I've lived here for several days, and it's convenient to be close to the crew."

   Niu Sanpang squeezed his fleshy hand, it hurts, it seems that he heard it right. Miss Qin and Young Master Li are living together, which is really exciting news.

  The upper circles in Kyoto are secretly saying that Miss Qin is indifferent to men and refuses men thousands of miles away. Is it true that she has no interest in men?

   Now it seems that is not the case at all.

   "Li Mo is a nice person."

  Master Qin smiled a little more. It seems that his granddaughter doesn't dislike men. Maybe it's just that the men he met before were not good enough.

   "Grandpa, don't think too much. I live in this house alone, and Li Mo lives in his old house."

   "Grandpa didn't think too much, it was you who thought too much."

  Old Master Qin sat on the sofa and hummed a northern tune leisurely.

   After a while, Li Mo led the three of them in, and the table was quickly filled with various dishes, and the aroma wafted immediately.

   "Everyone, take your seats."

   "Hey, the color, fragrance and taste are complete, and the standard of a five-star hotel."

  Niu Sanpang looked around, thinking that Li Mo was still careful in his work.

   "Young Master Li, is this porcelain bowl filled with water?"

  Everyone sitting around looked over. The big white ceramic bowl was indeed filled with water, and there was nothing else.

"There is a famous dish in the state banquet called 'boiled cabbage'. The essence is not in the dish but in the boiled water. It is not ordinary boiled water, but a soup made with various ingredients in proportion, and then filtered layer by layer. until the soup becomes clear, and finally boil it and pour it over the cabbage."

   "Did you order the boiled water for the state banquet?"

"There are similarities in the same direction but the same effect. This clear soup is called 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea'. It has eight kinds of ingredients, some flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water. It is boiled on a low fire for more than eight hours, and then filtered continuously. Drink it to make it more delicious. Your taste buds are completely opened, the fragrance is incomparable, and the aftertaste is endless."

  Li Mo gave everyone a small bowl.

   "I ordered eighteen dishes, and this bowl of water is the most expensive, everyone should try it."

  Everyone tasted it, and their faces were intoxicated, without any greasy taste, and there was a kind of aroma in their mouths after one sip.

   "Delicious."

  Master Qin couldn't help but praise.

   "Of course, everyone eats it. Sirui, you don't like meat, so I specially ordered a bird's nest for you. These vegetables are all organic, healthy and nutritious."

"Thanks!"

   "Mr. Qin, these are stewed dishes prepared by the court, the recipe eaten by the Qing court emperor. Sanpang, two big brothers, try them all, and you will be home when you arrive here."

  Old Master Qin ate a few pieces and said in surprise, "Where did you find these delicacies?"

Li Mo put down his chopsticks and said: "I like to eat by nature, not to brag to you, I have tasted all the famous food in Shanghai. I have been studying antiques and miscellaneous things with my master for more than ten years, and he has brought me to see many places , Every time I go to a place, I must first look for delicious food. Let’s put it this way, if I open a restaurant, it doesn’t need to be so high-end, and any dish in my mind can be a famous dish.”

"Believe it or not, I suggested to the boss to improve two of the ingredients in this 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea' soup to get the current taste. Their store is not big, but there are many chains. The business is booming every day, and it's easy every year. Thousands of profits."

   "Young Master Li, how about we open a restaurant together?"

  Niu Sanpang saw a huge business opportunity.

   "The catering business is the most tiring, and I don't have to rest 365 days a year. I'm not interested."

   Just kidding, I just know how to eat, so why bother to open a restaurant by myself.

   "Young Master Li, we are in partnership, you can just participate in the shares, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

   "Li Mo, if you do it, I will join in."

  Qin Sirui also moved his mind, after all, the catering is very profitable.

   "I'll talk about it later, eat first."

  Li Mo didn't refuse, if he wants to do it, he should do it best, at least he is well-known in the catering industry.

   Enjoy a meal.

   "Little friend, my stomach is also full. Should I take out the painting of Bada Shanren that you have collected to appreciate it?"

   "Okay, I'll get the painting."

  Li Mo moved out the rosewood box from the secret room, and several people gathered around the coffee table in the living room.

   What Li Mo took out first was Niu Shihui's five screens [Picture of Bamboo and Stone Solitary Bird].

   "Old man, take a look first."

  Mr. Qin unfolded it carefully, and his eyes were immediately attracted: "Rolling his eyes, he is proud. Niu Shihui's painting style is almost the same as his brother's. These five paintings can be collected individually or in five screens. The latter is more valuable."

   "Grandpa Qin, what is the price of these five-screen paintings?" Niu Sanpang is concerned about this.

   "The reference price for a single painting is around 25 million. If five screens are auctioned together, the average price may exceed 30 million per painting."

   "Old man, you have to look carefully at this painting."

   What Li Mo handed to Mr. Qin was a copy of Zhang Daqian.

  Old Master Qin let go and looked, his breathing became heavy.

   "This is the handwriting of Bada Shanren, my little friend, I want this [Lotus Stone Mandarin Duck]."

   "Grandpa Qin, let me take a look too." Niu Sanpang felt itchy in his heart. They are all good things, and they can be regarded as the finale treasures in the auction.

   "Stand aside, I have collected this painting."

   "Don't worry, old man, there is another painting here."

   "Young Master Li, let me open this painting."

  Niu Sanpang took the initiative to do it for him. When the picture spread out, he was a little dumbfounded. He looked at the painting in his hand, and then turned his head to look at the painting in Qin Lao's hand.

   "Another Bada Shanren [Bamboo and Stone Mandarin Duck], Li Shao, which one is the authentic Bada Shanren?"
