At seven o'clock in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the bed through the delicate wooden window, Zhu Mingli was awake, and the fatigue of the journey was wiped out at this moment.

Zhu Mingli, who had more than ten years of rural life experience during the Great Movement, could even tell the birds chirping outside the window, including magpies, tits, turtledoves, white-headed men, etc. Since returning to Haizhou to take over "Long Xiangrui", in the past thirty years, Zhu Mingli's schedule has been full, and he has no time and leisure to experience this leisurely life.

After staying in Ginkgo Village, a small mountain village far away from the hustle and bustle, Zhu Mingli understood a lot of truths. He couldn't make enough money and could not finish his career. He was nearly 70 years old and didn't have much life anymore!

"Lao Yan, do you feel like you're back forty years ago?" When Zhu Mingli pushed open the door, he found that Yan Kuan was already moving in the yard.

This is a typical stone courtyard in Ginkgo Village. Several stone houses and two stone walls form a small courtyard. The huge ginkgo trees in the middle of the courtyard cover the sky and the sun.

A hen was carrying a group of chickens to dig the soil between the bluestone slabs, and from time to time, one or two small insects were turned out, causing the chickens to compete for it, making it very lively.

"This kind of small courtyard is already extinct in Haizhou!" Yan Kuan did a chest expansion exercise and said, "If you don't talk about anything else, just look for the environment of Ginkgo Village. The prospects for this Jinghu Scenic Area are really good!"

Zhu Xu and his entourage were not in front of him, so the two old men naturally didn’t have so many concerns and objectively expressed their views on Ginkgo Village.

In fact, after learning about the relevant situation of the S233 expansion project, Zhu Mingli and Yan Kuan's evaluation of Jinghu Scenic Area and Jinghu Ranch quietly improved several levels.

When we arrived at Ginkgo Village yesterday evening, it was sunset. The entire Jinghu, Ginkgo Village and the Biluo Snow Mountain in the distance were integrated into one, like a wonderful oil painting, which made the two old people stunned. With the experience and experience of the two old people, we can naturally see the advantages of Jinghu Scenic Area. As long as we solve the problems of transportation, accommodation and catering, Jinghu Scenic Area will become a nationally renowned tourist destination just around the corner.

Not enough, this alone is not enough to allow "Long Xiangrui" to provide Jinghu Company with hundreds of millions of loans. The two need to observe more carefully before making a decision.

After having a breakfast with a farmhouse speciality, the two elderly people left the farmhouse yard together. As for Zhu Xu, who knew Xiao Feng, was stayed in the yard by Yan Ling and could not go out casually.

Whether it was the yellowed ginkgo trees all over the mountains or the folk houses full of ethnic characteristics, the two old people were eye-opening. They walked on the bluestone road and almost forgot the purpose of their trip.

"Old Zhu, look at the house in front of you?" At this time, the two old men walked to the highest point of Ginkgo Village and saw the old house of the Xiao family.

Compared with most ordinary houses in Ginkgo Village, the four-story old house in Xiao’s family looks tall and majestic, especially the exquisite decoration of the old house’s eaves and various ancillary facilities, which highlights the difference of this house.

Yan Kuan has been working in a gold shop for decades. His daily hobby is to collect antiques and his vision is naturally vicious. The house in front of him is probably quite old, and the value of those complicated decorations is probably not low.

"I didn't expect that there was such a luxurious mansion in the remote area, which was really unexpected!" Even though Zhu Mingli was very knowledgeable, he was quite shocked.

"Are you two brothers here for a trip? Do you want to come in and sit?" Just as Zhu Mingli and Yan Kuan commented on the old house of Xiao, Old Master Xiao walked out of the yard.

Since Ginkgo Village became famous, there have been many tourists here to travel, but most of them are young people. Naturally, the old man would not greet the young people. Now, when the old man saw that Zhu Mingli and the others seemed to be very interested in the architectural style of the old house, he was a little proud and invited them to have a cup of tea.

"I'm disturbing!" Zhu Mingli didn't dare to neglect and asked, "Old man, Gui Geng this year?"

In Zhu Mingli's opinion, the old man who can live in such a big mansion is probably the most identifiable person in Ginkgo Village. In addition, the old man's white hair and hair are all white, Zhu Mingli feels respectful.

"Just just passed the 80th birthday!" The old man said while introducing the two into the yard: "These days are all young people. I rarely see you at this age, so I'm a little curious."

Since Xiao Feng took over the position of successor to the leader of the Xiao family, all matters related to the family were handed over to Xiao Feng to handle, and the old man ended up having a leisurely life.

The old man practices calligraphy at home every day. After getting off a nap, he goes to the senior activity center in Ginkgo Square to have fun, and his life is relaxed and comfortable.

Now just after eight o'clock, the old man who was making tea in the yard saw two tourists in their sixties coming up from the dam. He became curious and invited them.

"Wild tea in the mountains is not worthy of respect!" After everyone sat down, the old man poured a cup of hot tea for Zhu Mingli and Yan Kuan.

The old man has seen countless people, so he can naturally see that Yan Kuan and the others are not ordinary retired employees. Their aura as superiors is so strong that it is impossible to ignore.

"Good tea!" Zhu Mingli took the tea cup and sniffed it deeply, then sipped it gently, and said involuntarily.

As a top rich man in Haizhou, Zhu Mingli naturally drinks good tea, and it is no exaggeration to call him a "tea expert". However, he never expected that in such a remote countryside, he could encounter good tea with a long fragrance and a bitter and sweet taste.

In Zhu Mingli's opinion, although these unknown camellias are not as good as the top Yuqian Longjing, they are not far from each other, and are no less than the so-called top ten famous teas in China.

What Zhu Mingli didn't know was that the more important reason why these wild teas were very delicious was that the water used by the old man to make tea came from Zizhu Space.

"This is all the old man stir-fried wild tea. The two of them are also tea-knowing people. Take a can of tea back!" The old man smiled so that the folds on his face smoothed out. He turned to the room and shouted: "Old lady, prepare two cans of tea for the two guests!"

It is rare to meet a soulmate. The old man is very excited and his voice is octave higher.

Seeing this, Zhu Mingli and Yan Kuan refused repeatedly, but they could not resist the old man's enthusiasm, and finally reluctantly gave up two cans of tea.

"Brother Xiao, does this set of tea have some explanation?" After three rounds of tea, Yan Kuan couldn't help but speak.

In fact, after sitting down in the yard, Yan Kuan's eyes were attracted by the set of tea sets on the marble table. The glorious and restrained porcelain exuded the charm of history all the time.

"There is no explanation for this. They are all passed down from ancestors. I have become accustomed to making tea!" The old man picked up a tea cup and said, "A tea cup, no matter how expensive it is, it is not interesting to make tea, it is not interesting to offer it!"

This set of blue and white thin-tied tea set in the Qing Dynasty was a fine product of Jingdezhen official kiln sold overseas at that time. The ancestor of the Xiao family passed down several sets. Except for this set that is often used for making tea, the rest are locked in the Xiao family's warehouse.

"It seems that I am a cliché!" Yan Kuan immediately understood when he heard the old man say this.

At the beginning, Yan Kuan thought that Old Master Xiao did not know the origin of this tea set, so he wanted to remind him to be careful not to bump into it.

At an abnormal auction in Haizhou not long ago, a group of Qing Kangxi tea sets with blue and white octagonal teapots with eight tea cups were sold for 20,000 yuan, and that set of tea sets were just works of folk kilns, and the quality was quite poor. According to Yan Kuan's judgment, once Mr. Xiao's set of fine tea sets of official kilns were on sale, they would not be able to get them without 100,000 yuan.

Now that I saw that the old man clearly knew the origin of this tea set, Yan Kuan took a breath.

He never thought that the seemingly ordinary old man in the country would use the six-digit Qing Dynasty Kangxi tea set as daily necessities as if nothing had happened. This was no longer a simple wealthy person, but also an open-minded concept of wealth.

The three old men bask in the warm plateau sunshine, taste the fragrant camellia, and talk about some interesting stories about antique calligraphy and paintings, which also gave a feeling of mutual appreciation.

Normally, Old Master Xiao stayed alone at home to appreciate the antique porcelain and famous calligraphy and paintings he passed down from his ancestors. Few like-minded people communicated with him. Now when he met Yan Kuan and Zhu Mingli, two antique lovers, he was naturally happy to see the hunting. Finally, the tea tasting party turned into an antique appreciation meeting, and the venue was moved into the Xiao family’s study room.

The out-of-print ancient books, precious porcelain and various original works of celebrities in the study room dazzled Zhu Mingli and Yan Kuan and overwhelmed. From the perspective of the two of them, the antiques in the study room are basically genuine, and a considerable number can be regarded as industry treasures.

"Brother Xiao, have you evaluated the value of antique calligraphy and paintings in this study?" Yan Kuan couldn't help asking when he went out.

This is not caused by Yan Kuan's greed, but as an antique lover, he is really worried that Mr. Xiao is not sure about the true value of these antiques and is not well preserved, which will destroy these treasures of Chinese culture.

"My Xiaofeng said that it's only worth hundreds of millions!" The old man locked the door of the study as usual and said, "But we will not sell any of them. We are planning to build a private museum in the village for public outing!"

After the Internet was connected, Xiao Feng used his leisure time to summarize and analyze the auction prices of various auction items and auctions published on the Internet, and then compared the various antiques in the study and warehouse. Finally, he found that the huge old house actually contained hundreds of millions of porcelain, calligraphy and paintings and various antiques worth hundreds of millions of yuan.

However, Xiao Feng did not have the idea of ​​auctioning. He planned to build a private museum based on the old house when the time was right, and lay the foundation for the public appearance of peerless treasures in the Zizhu Space in the future.

Just as Zhu Mingli and his two were about to say goodbye, Xiao Feng happened to take the employees of Jinghu Ranch back to the old house, fished up the seeds from the big tank, and sent them to the ranch to sow. Zhu Mingli and his two soon connected the sweaty young man in front of him with Xiao Feng, the actual owner of Jinghu Ranch. Thinking of the dazzling array of antiques in the Xiao family's old house, he and Yan Kuan immediately made the decision to borrow money from Jinghu Company in their hearts.

However, the loan method is not that simple. After seeing the beautiful scenery of Ginkgo Village, Zhu Mingli and Yan Kuan had more ideas!
