Chapter 22 The old uncle is showing off
Lunch is very rich, including good steak, king crab, etc.
Whether it's steak or king crab, it may be very expensive in the country. However, in the United States, their prices are very affordable. After all, the United States is also one of the important producing areas of king crab, so it is understandable that they are cheap.
What Lin Yuan can't understand is why do you need to wipe Lao Gan Ma when eating king crab?
When Henry's mother took out a bottle of Lao Ganma, Lin Yuan's CPU started to smoke.
It is said that Lao Ganma is crazy about killing people in the United States, but now Lin Yuan realizes it firsthand.
The problem is that this stuff is still very expensive in the United States. It is said that a bottle is more than ten dollars.
Henry told Lin Yuan that he brought these old godmothers back from China.
Lin Yuan called him a good guy!
During the meal, Henry's two younger sisters came to Lin Yuan and asked about this and that.
They are very interested in many things in China, especially the modernization construction of China that they often see in short videos, which is incredible.
According to the comments of netizens, the Chinese people live in another world.
This is completely different from the China they see in mainstream media.
In addition, their eldest brother studied in China, so of course they chose to believe in their eldest brother!
"Seeing is believing, don't you know if you have time to play for a while?" Lin Yuan said with a smile.
In comparison, China's urbanization construction is indeed more dazzling, creating a reputation as an infrastructure maniac. In some early developed countries, cities have already aged.
Take San Francisco as an example. It is dilapidated and shabby, and its urban construction is really not as good as China's third-tier cities.
"We don't have money to go." The two sisters said, looking at their eldest brother, the meaning was obvious.
Of course they want to travel to China to see and experience. However, traveling abroad requires economy. Currently, only their eldest brother can help them realize this dream.
Henry rolled his eyes, he had nothing to do with his two sisters.
However, it’s good to go out and have fun, especially in a safe country like China. If it were to go to other countries, he would still be worried about the safety of his family, but he doesn't have to worry at all when going to China.
"Then you go with your parents! The expenses are mine." Henry said.
Anyway, I got a windfall of 50,000 US dollars, and it would be nice for my family to go abroad and enjoy it.
Fifty thousand US dollars, converted into more than 300,000 RMB, is enough to go to China for a month or two.
When the two sisters heard this, they immediately cheered.
Although Henry's father and mother also wanted to travel to China, they were embarrassed to spend their son's money.
It was Lin Yuan's old uncle who intervened and persuaded Henry's parents a few words, praising Henry's filial piety, etc., before the two couples made up their mind to choose a day to go to China.
Paul was also moved, but he held it back.
After eating and drinking, Henry's father would make a pot of tea and sigh with Lin Yuan and his uncle.
The old uncle was good at making tea. He taught Henry's father, saying that it was a unique tea-making ceremony in China. The operation was so fierce that several foreigners, except Henry, were stunned.
To put it bluntly, there is an element of pretense.
Throwing tea leaves directly into it actually has the same effect.
The old uncle's operation may not make the tea taste that good. Of course, for those who really know how to taste tea, there should be some differences.
This is just like foreigners tasting red wine, which requires a series of steps, such as sobering up, observing the wine, shaking the glass, smelling the wine, drinking, etc.
Those steps are nothing more than to show elegance.
To put it bluntly, it’s just pretentious.
The old uncle has no other skills, but he has a way of showing off.
Lin Yuan looked at the teapot and was very surprised. It turned out to be a treasure.
"Uncle, where did this purple clay pot come from?"
Don’t say it’s passed down from your ancestors!
Old uncle Chen Shiquan glanced at his nephew in surprise. As soon as his nephew spoke, he knew what was going on.
Henry's father smiled and said: "There used to be a Chinese family living next door to us. I helped them once, and this teapot was given to them as a gift."
Lin Yuan: "Then you have to be careful. This purple clay pot is a treasure."
The purple clay teapot is a traditional Chinese handmade clay craft that was created during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty.
From the tree gall pots and six-petal round pots used in spring during the Jiajing period of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, to the purple sand mandarin duck tea set creatively designed by Ji Hansheng and produced by Cao Anxiang, which can brew two types of tea at the same time - the Chinese Dragon Pot, to the Buddhist purple sand artist Yan Qian Each of the Dharma milk pots produced is unique and we put great effort into making the pots more enjoyable.
It is precisely because of the combination of artistry and practicality that purple clay teapots are so precious and memorable.
In addition, the benefits of making tea in a purple clay pot and the cultural atmosphere of tea Zen add to the noble and elegant charm of the purple clay pot.
From the Ming Dynasty to the present, purple clay teapots have always been valuable.

Over the course of hundreds of years of history, the purple clay teapot has become one of the representatives of tea culture due to its unique material, exquisite craftsmanship and rich cultural connotation, and is deeply loved by literati.
With the increasingly prosperous collection market, purple clay teapots, as a treasure among traditional Chinese handicrafts, are highly sought after.
Henry's family, as well as Paul, were stunned.
Is this a baby too?
Henry's father couldn't help but ask: "How much is it worth?"
Lin Yuan "looked" at the cyan light spot on the treasure hunter. The cyan was darker, indicating that it was closer to 100,000 US dollars.
"Eighty to ninety thousand dollars. Of course, it would be best to let Henry take it to Uncle De and estimate the price. I don't know much about the market." Lin Yuan said.
Henry's family didn't know Uncle Uncle, but Henry and Paul knew.
When Henry's parents heard about it, they realized that this teapot was worth 80,000 to 90,000 US dollars. How could they be willing to use it to make tea? Quickly pour out the tea inside and put it away properly.
Henry's mother was even ready to scrub it clean.
Lin Yuan quickly stopped her and told her not to scrub casually, or the price would drop.
If you accidentally brush off all the patina on it, the value will be greatly reduced.
The Henry family immediately did not dare to move, for fear that their unprofessional operation would devalue the teapot.
At this time, Paul received a call from his colleague.
His colleague told him that the stick went to report that they had seized his belongings for no reason and asked the market management to return his belongings.
Paul sneered. How could he spit out the meat he had eaten?
He immediately said that he would go back immediately.
Before going back, he asked Lin Yuan and others if they wanted to continue hunting for treasure there.
The old uncle naturally hopes to go. Making money is more important than wasting time. However, it depends on what the nephew wants.
"Then continue!" Lin Yuan nodded.
Henry doesn’t want to be idle either, the opportunity is rare!
So, a group of them went to the antique market near the city hall.
I saw several sticks denounced.
It turns out that he found his "compatriots" to be emboldened. No wonder he dared to come back to ask for the confiscated items.
