Chapter 1347 Appraisal
She turned out to be a capable professional woman. Zhou Zhi was greatly impressed: "Let's go, let's go straight to the wine."
When Jasmine saw Zhou Zhi's guards, His expression changed a little: "This car is rare in the mainland."
"My cousin gave it to me." Zhou Zhi had no choice but to explain why a college student had such a good car.
"Ms. An Xin, right?" Jasmin smiled and said, "The wedding of the two young masters of the Li family was very sensational in Hong Kong Island."
"Your name comes from an English name, right? Jasmine?" Zhou Zhi asked.
"Yes." Jasmin nodded, but this beautiful girl seemed to be very serious about her place of origin: "But I am not a foreigner. My ancestors are from England and Germany, and my father is from Hong Kong Island. Mom is French.”
“ Oh, no wonder, I’m just a foreigner who speaks Hong Kong so well.”
“Yours is not bad either. Have you lived in Hong Kong too?”
“That’s true. No, I learned it from TVB dramas," Zhou Zhi said with a smile.
"Wow, then Mr. Zhou, you must be a smart man."
"Call me elbow, people who know me well call me that." Zhou Zhi said, "We will get off the expressway for a quick meal and then go home. Look at the wine, what do you think?”
< br>"Let's go to the bar first and finish the work first." Jasmin said: "You don't have to arrange the elbow. I can go back to the airport to take care of the meal." This girl is actually a bit difficult to talk to.
Unexpectedly, Jasmine took the initiative to ask: "Can you introduce to me the origin of these bottles of wine?"
Zhou Zhi said: "Our family bought a house in Shudu a few years ago. It was a property purchased by my mother's maternal grandfather. Later, I felt that it was not a problem to leave it empty, so I renovated it into a B&B. Do a simple reception or something.”
“I was going to renovate the lobby this year, remove the indoor escalator, and increase the space in the main hall. As a result, I found a secret room under the stairs, which was a temporary shelter. Got some Newspapers and books from ten years ago, canned food, some tea cakes, and three kinds of wine.”
“We in the mainland mainly drink white wine and have no research on wine. I thought that Jack should have research on red wine. , so I roughly traced the letter pattern on the bottle and sent it to him by fax, and he invited you here."
"Such a story..." Jasmin couldn't help but ask. Some hesitation.
“You’ve heard stories like this a lot about people doing appraisals, right?” Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “Actually, I usually do some appraisals, and I found treasures in my old house. Such stories are indeed common. Hear.”
Jasmin couldn't help but smile: "But we have to distinguish between objects. By the way, what do you do for collecting elbows?"
"I mainly deal with porcelain, calligraphy and painting." Zhou Zhi said.
"Then show me this." Jasmin took out a pendant from her neck. It was a small blue and white round pendant with exquisite gold edges. It looked quite beautiful.
Zhou Zhi only glanced at it before returning his gaze to the road: "This is an emerald blue made of top-quality pearl materials. It belongs to the early Kangxi period. Judging from the size, it should be made of a piece of pearl." Made from scraps of bottles and jars. ”
"Although it is a fragment, the subject matter is very rare in Kangxi blue and white flowers. The broken jasmine branch is the same as your name." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "It can be seen that the person who gave this gift to you is very considerate. ”
"Wow, master." Jasmine nodded: "Wanqiu said the same thing, but she didn't understand what this pattern was."
"Ancient traditional patterns are often abstracted and changed." Zhou Zhi said: "For example, passion flowers and cockscombs, this is normal. Sister Wanqiu has learned from the West. She pays attention to materials and ingredients and ignores style and pattern. This is also normal." "But the person who gave you the gift must understand This.”
"Thank you, elbow. I discovered that this pendant has a deeper meaning." Jasmin put the pendant in her collar and stuck out her tongue: "I will apologize to the old man when I get back."
“Yes "Is it a gift from an elder in your family?" Zhou Zhi asked, then shook his head: "It's a pity that it's a fragment. Utensils with broken jasmine branches are very rare in blue and white porcelain. If it is a complete piece, it will be valuable."
"Then I have to go back and apologize." Jasmine showed a harmless smile: "Because that piece of porcelain... was broken by me."
Zhou Zhi's feet trembled when he heard it, and the guard swooped. I pushed my back to speed up, and quickly released the accelerator: "This... you didn't even get beaten?"
"That happened when I was a kid. La! My dad wanted to beat me, but grandpa didn’t let me do it. He said it would be fine if he didn’t cut his hand.” Jasmin was not ashamed but felt proud: “He even made me this pendant from the fragments.”
"To have such porcelain, your grandpa is definitely an expert in playing with porcelain. If you have the opportunity to go to Hong Kong Island, you have to visit him in person and ask for advice." Zhou Zhi said.
"Hehe, but he is in the United States now, and you can't see him even if you go to Hong Kong Island."
The chat has now opened up the topic, and the relationship between the two has improved a lot. When they arrived at Suihuaxuan, Jasmin couldn't help but nod secretly when she saw the mansion.
If those bottles of wine were found in a place like this, they might still be real.
However, Jasmine has seen too many stories and openings like this. She would never believe them without seeing something.
When she entered the mansion, she was even more surprised. Jazmin was well-informed, but the furnishings here made her feel no worse than her grandfather's.
Find a thick coat for Jasmine to put on, and Zhou Zhi took her into the storage room.
There were a lot of wooden boxes and wooden shelves in the storage room, with all kinds of messy things on them. Jasmin smelled the aroma of wine: "Maotai? Is there a Maotai that is more than 20 years old?"
"Master !" Zhou Zhi also learned about the extremely sensitive nose of the wine expert: "There are Moutai, Wuliangye, and Luzhou Laojiao wines here. Moutai is indeed mostly Sunflower brand that is more than 20 years old."
"Let's take a look at those wines first."
"Watch here or go outside in the sunshine?" Zhou Zhi asked.
“Of course it would be better to be outside.”
"OK, I'm going to get the wine."
There are small carts specially used to transport cultural relics in the warehouse. They are designed with great emphasis on safety. The carriages are padded with thick foam and velvet, and there are also trolleys used to transport cultural relics. Separated foam padding.
There were only a dozen bottles of wine in total. Zhou Zhi put them all into the trolley and took Jasmin back to the ground: "How about going to the glass room over there?"
Jesmine has put on glasses, and has transformed from an ordinary beauty into an intellectual beauty: "It doesn't need to be so bright, the light in this living room is enough."
The next step is a set of identification procedures. Jasmin took out some weird instruments from her bag, including a centimeter strung on a track, a high-power magnifying glass, and an electronic device with a probe. Analyzers, even a palm-sized mini-microscope, and a row of plastic tubes carrying reagents, all in all very complicated.
