Chapter 129
Time flies, and this month is about to end, and there is only the last guest left in the restaurant.

The third guest was a first-class diner, and Chen Er got 30 points from him.

In two days, it's time to entertain the fourth guest, Zhao Jiuxiang.

Dou Yitong is still immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

Chen Er was alone in the kitchen preparing ingredients.

This ingredient is a must-have condiment, fish sauce, when cooking in a restaurant two days later.

The practice of fish sauce is not troublesome, it just takes some time to make the sauce taste.

So you must prepare in advance.

This is also the first time Chen Er made this fish sauce.

A total of five materials are needed, carp, salt, dried ginger, orange peel, and rice wine.

Chen Er picked up a large wooden basin, and inside it was a fresh carp wagging its tail, which was just caught from the small world.

Now Chen Er's small world has begun to take shape.

Several tea trees were planted, as well as several fruit trees and commonly used vegetables.

It can be described as thriving.

Chen Er washed and peeled the carp, carefully removing the scales and internal organs.

Then remove the fish bones, cut into small pieces, and wash it again with crushed ice water.

Drain and set aside.

Grind the dried ginger into powder and mix the fish with salt, then put it into the soil urn.

Cut the orange peel into shreds and spread it all over. After completely covering the fish pieces, seal the mouth of the urn with soil.

After finishing, Chen Er washed his hands, looked at the time, and shouted to the study, "Review time is over, come out for the exam."

Then he came to the living room and took out a test paper and put it on the table.

Dou Yitong quickly ran out of the study.

Although he knew that Chen Er would inspect his reading situation from time to time.

But he really didn't know that Chen Er would pay so much attention to it, and actually came up with the exam questions himself.

Dou Yitong didn't dare to be negligent, so he sat down quickly, showed the attitude he used to deal with the college entrance examination back then, and buried himself in the book.

Chen Er nodded, then took the freshly sealed earth urn from the kitchen and went to the yard.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon, the time of day when the sun was at its greatest.

He had just put the earth urn in his hand to dry in the sun.

There was a knock on the courtyard door.

Chen Er walked over to open the door.

The person standing outside the door turned out to be Shu Dongren.

"Master Chen, we meet again."

Although Chen Er immediately guessed Shu Dongren's intention, he was still a little surprised.

He thought that his rejection was obvious enough last time, but he didn't expect that Shu Dong would not give up.

It's not easy for Chen Er to let her stand at the door all the time.

There are a lot of trees planted in this alley, which is very shady. When the weather is hot, many elderly people like to go out and sit in the alley, enjoying the shade and chatting at the same time.

Chen Er often greeted them, and they were already familiar with Chen Er.

Today, Shu Dongren suddenly appeared at the door of his house, and the aunts couldn't help but looked at the two of them with loving eyes, nodding while watching.

That look seemed to say, this stupid pig has finally learned how to bow cabbage.

A few funny aunts even joked directly.

"Oh, look at this girl, how handsome she is, standing together, they really match each other!"

"No wonder I wanted to introduce the youngest daughter of my third aunt's cousin's niece to this kid last time. He was unwilling to live or die. It turns out that he already has a partner!"

Chen Er couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth.

Xindao, aunt, you are ashamed to say that the youngest daughter of the niece of the third aunt's cousin...

This kinship is also far enough.

Then he laughed dryly twice, let Shu Dong in, and then closed the courtyard door.

Shu Dongren couldn't help but chuckle twice.

Chen Er quickly returned to normal, and took her to sit under the pumpkin shelf in the yard, where it was shaded and cool.

"My apprentice is taking an exam in the room, it's inconvenient to go in and disturb him now, so just sit here first."

If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Shu Dongren will definitely break up with Chen Er.

Chen Er didn't want Dou Yitong to be distracted.

Shu Dongren didn't speak, and sat down on the rattan chair generously, then took out a leaflet from his bag and handed it to Chen Er.

Chen Er took it and saw that it was a flyer for a public auction.

The items auctioned above are all calligraphy, painting and antiques, which are of high value, and the starting price is all above one million yuan.

Shu Dong said humanely, "This is the auction leaflet on the [-]th floor of Yanjing. There are only two auctions held there every year, one in spring and one in winter. This one is from last year."

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed to one of the auction items.

The bright red nails tapped lightly.

"This piece of calligraphy is an authentic work by Li Xu, a calligrapher from the Republic of China. The auction price is 700 million."

Chen Er put down the list in his hand.

The other party was obviously telling him that Li Xu's original works could still be sold for 700 million yuan, so the value of the handwritten book in his hand was even more unknown.

Chen Er didn't speak, he wanted to see what Shu Dongren would say next.

Shu moved a smile.

"Mr. Chen, does he know who wrote the book I wanted to buy from you yesterday?"

Chen Er still didn't speak.

Shu Dongren didn't care, and continued, "The handwriting of that book, after confirmation by my grandfather, is the handwriting of Lu Yijiang, a famous calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty."

"Lu Yi Jiang, you should know."

Chen Er finally spoke this time.

"Mr. Luyi Jiang came from a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, the Qinghua Lu family. He was famous all over the south of the Yangtze River at the age of ten, and he became a top calligrapher at the age of 20. If Mr. Lu was not a woman, I am afraid that he would have been number one."

Shu Dongren nodded, "Later, the land of Huaxia was raging with flames of war. The Lu family moved away. Mr. Lu fell ill and died on the way. The Lu family also disappeared in the flames of war."

"It is rumored that all of Mr. Lu's manuscripts were destroyed in the war. After so many years, no matter who the collectors are, no matter how much money they spend, they have never found Mr. Lu's manuscripts."

Shu Dong's words are already a little faintly excited.

She knew very well that once this handwritten manuscript came out, it would definitely shock the entire collection circle in China!

Chen Er leaned lazily on the back of the rattan chair.

Shu Dongren had no choice but to continue, "My grandfather has collected calligraphy and paintings for decades, and he likes this book very much, so no matter how much it is, I can accept it."

Chen Er raised his eyebrows and fell silent angrily.

Shu Dongren stretched out his finger and took Li Xu's auction item on the leaflet.

"I'm willing to pay twice that price."

A leaf suddenly fell from the pumpkin stand above Chen Er's head and landed on his shoulder.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the leaf and played with it, his eyes were still calm, neither surprised nor greedy.

It seems to be looking at a very ordinary thing.

He smiled at Shu Dongren.

"Not for sale."

Now it was Shu Dong's turn to be shocked.

She quickly said, "Twice the price!"

Chen Er stood up and said casually, "This price is really tempting, but I can't sell it. I hope you don't mention this matter in the future."

This is already a very simple rejection.

Shu Dongren wanted to say something more, but Chen Er raised his palm.

Signal her to stop talking.

Dou Yitong shouted from the room, "Master! I'm done!"

Chen Er then turned and entered the room.
