Xu Yingying and others went to the storefront. Li Yu first returned to his residence, took a brocade box the size of a palm, and then followed the address that Ge Jianyu told him the day before and took a taxi to Hongbaozhai.

Hongbaozhai is a famous cultural and entertainment store in Yuhai City, located on Xihe Street not far from Yuhai University. The storefront of Hongbaozhai is quite large and decorated in antique. Through the bright glass windows, you can see that there are various cultural and cultural and entertainment shelves inside, including genuine and high-imitation fakes. Of course, as a standardized cultural and entertainment store, the high-imitation fakes in Hongbaozhai are clearly marked. Some people are not real cultural relics enthusiasts, but just want to find a few cultural and cultural and entertainment shelves to decorate the room. These high-imitation fakes can just meet their needs.

According to Ge Jianyu, Gao Shixin is a special consultant of Hongbaozhai and has a very good personal relationship with Hongbaozhai’s boss Cai Meilin, so when you are fine, you often stay in Hongbaozhai. Last night, Li Yu had already made an appointment with Gao Shixin through Ge Jianyu and met in Hongbaozhai today.

When Gao Shixin arrived at Hongbaozhai, he explained to the clerk in the store. So as soon as Li Yu entered the door, the clerk took him to the backyard. Gao Shixin and Cai Meilin were having tea and chatting there. When he saw Li Yu coming in, Gao Shixin did not get up, but just greeted him and asked Li Yu to come and sit down.

"This is Boss Cai, the big brother of Yuhai cultural and entertainment circle."

After Li Yu sat down, Gao Shixin pointed at Cai Meilin and introduced to Li Yu half-jokingly.

"Hello, Boss Cai." Li Yu greeted respectfully, "I have been hearing from Teacher Gao about Boss Cai's name, and I have only seen my true face today. I am really lucky to have three lives."

Cai Meilin waved her hand and said with a smile: "Don't listen to Old Man Gao, I am just a businessman, I have a few bad money, what kind of reputation can I have? Professor Gao is the boss of the Yuhai Cultural Relics Association. When the Cultural Relics Association held a meeting, he was on the rostrum, so I could only help pour boiling water beside me."

Gao Shixin retorted: "Boss Cai is a rich man, so naturally he says money is smelly. Poor scholars like us can't even put a penny in their pockets. In our opinion, money is very fragrant."

"You can't help but pretend to be poor in front of a child? The treasures you collect are enough to buy my small shop." Cai Meilin said disdainfully.

It was common for the two old men to quarrel like this. Li Yu sat next to him and couldn't get in. He could only smile and remain silent, waiting for them to finish the scum before talking.

"By the way, Old Man Cai, I forgot to introduce you." Gao Shixin finally turned his attention back to Li Yu, and he said to Cai Meilin: "This is Li Yu. According to himself, he learned skills from an old Taoist priest in the mountains since he was a child, and he came out of the mountain a few days ago. My silk-pinning pan dragon gold bracelet was what he gave to me."

"It's the gold bracelet that is said to be from Ding Ruliang's hands?" Cai Meilin asked.

Gao Shixin said: "That's right. I know the name Ding Ruliang, but I heard from Xiao Li. Later, I went to the library to check a lot of information, and I really found it. During the Wanli period, there was indeed such a gold and silver craftsman who was famous in the southeast. But it's strange that no one mentioned him in the cultural and entertainment circle."

Cai Meilin said: "It's not surprising. In ancient times, craftsmen had a low status. Their names were generally not recorded in various local chronicles, unless they were particularly famous, and occasionally there were a few literati notes mentioned in their notes. After you got the bracelet last time, I asked a few friends from other places to pay attention and found a few gold and silver jewelry marked "Ruliang". Everyone said that you, Old Man Gao, have unique eyes."

"I'm a wise man. I didn't tell me. I didn't know Ding Ruliang's." Gao Shixin said with a smile. Then, he turned his head to Li Yu and asked, "Xiao Li, Jianyu said you have something to come to me, what's the matter?"

Li Yu said: "That's right. Didn't you tell me to find something to do last time? I have paid attention these days and I have an idea, planning to open a medicinal restaurant with a few friends. I am young and have no experience, and I don't know if this idea is suitable, so I want to hear what Teacher Gao meant."

"Medicinal food? Well, it's a good idea. Lao Cai, what do you think?" Gao Shixin asked.

Cai Meilin said: "Now people cherish their lives, and many people are unhappy to eat them. Medicinal food can cater to the tastes of these people. However, it is not easy to open a medicinal food restaurant. You have to know some knowledge of Chinese medicine and health preservation, and not everyone can do it."

Gao Shixin pointed at Li Yu and said, "Old Cai, let me tell you, Xiao Li is not a simple person. He learned a lot from that old Taoist priest. This time Jianyu's girlfriend was poisoned. It was the prescription prescribed by Xiao Li, who woke people up with Chinese medicine. But don't make any public comments everywhere. I promised Xiao Li to keep it a secret for him."

"Ho ho, is there such a thing?" Cai Meilin showed a look of admiration and said, "If Xiao Li has such a foundation, it would be nice to open a medicinal restaurant. Xiao Li, I will make an appointment with you in advance. When your medicinal restaurant opens, you have to get a 20% discount card for me. I will take a few old friends to try it out."

Li Yu could hear that this was to support him, and quickly responded: "That's thankful to Boss Cai. If you go, we will definitely give you a 50% discount."

"One word is certain!" Cai Meilin said with a laugh.

Li Yu asked Gao Shixin about opening a medicinal restaurant, which was actually just a cover. His real purpose was to sell an antique through Gao Shixin to make up enough funds for opening a medicinal restaurant. After saying the previous ones, he changed his expression and said seriously: "Teacher Gao, there is another thing that I need to ask for help."

"Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to do it for you." Gao Shixin made a cheap promise.

Li Yu said: "I opened a medicinal restaurant and asked a few people to help. By the way, there is also Brother Ge's unmarried wife. We calculated that it may cost hundreds of thousands of yuan to open a restaurant in the early stage, but we didn't have much money, so I want to ask Teacher Gao to help me and transfer an antique for me. I don't know if it works."

Li Yu's request was not beyond Gao Shixin's expectations. Of course, he could guess that if it was just to ask whether it was appropriate to open a medicinal restaurant, there was no need for Li Yu to come to Hongbaozhai specifically, because whether it was Gao Shixin or Cai Meilin, they were not people who opened restaurants, so it was meaningless to ask them for advice. Gao Shixin and Li Yu had a relationship with antiques, so Li Yu had made such a solemn appointment with him, it was obvious that it could only be related to antiques.

When he first met Li Yu in Mingxikou Town, Gao Shixin noticed that he was carrying a bulging backpack, and the gold bracelet he sold was taken out of the backpack. Gao Shixin guessed at that time that Li Yu must have more than one antique in his hand. He arranged for Ge Jianyu to date Li Yu, and also wanted to seek other antiques in Li Yu's hands.

However, even though he thought so in his heart, Gao Shixin still sank his face when he heard Li Yu's request. He paused for a moment before saying earnestly:

"Xiao Li, to be honest, if you want to make antiques, Boss Cai and I are of course interested. But you just came out of the mountain and sold antiques one after another. From the perspective of an elder, I do not agree with your behavior. I don't know where your antiques come from, probably the relics left to you by your master. These things are limited after all, and you'd better not sell them easily before you have to. It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Do you understand what I mean?"

Cai Meilin nodded repeatedly and echoed: "Lao Gao is right. I have opened this antique shop and I have seen too many prodigal sons. All the things left by my ancestors were sold out in a few years. You can't get involved in this habit."

The persuasion of Gao Shixin and Cai Meilin made Li Yu feel very surprised and a little grateful. Logically speaking, these two people are playing with cultural relics, and they should be very happy to want to make antiques. Who would have thought that they would advise themselves not to sell things casually? This obviously treats themselves as their nephews in their later years, and speaks to themselves with an attitude towards their nephews.

"Teacher Gao, Boss Cai, I have remembered your teachings. However, I sold antiques this time not to spend money on my life, but to raise money to do some serious business. In order to support me, Senior Brother Ge even took out the money he had saved to buy a house. I felt a little reluctant, so I came up with some bad plans." Li Yu said.

"Well, this statement is reasonable." Gao Shixin said, "What kind of antique do you want to sell this time? Take it out and ask Boss Cai to help you see how much it is worth and whether it is enough for you to open a store."

"That's it." Li Yu took out the brocade box from his arms and placed it respectfully on the coffee table in front of him.

The rules of the cultural and entertainment industry are that all kinds of items cannot be handed over by each other, so as to avoid breaking during handover and being unable to determine the responsibility. Li Yu worked as a friend in a cultural and entertainment store in his early years, so he naturally knew this rule, so he put the brocade box on the coffee table and waited for Gao and Cai to get started.

Li Yu's brocade box was also brought by him from the Ming Dynasty. Gao Shixin and Cai Meilin were both people who knew the goods. When they saw the brocade box, their eyes lit up. They knew that no matter what was contained in the brocade box, this box alone would be worth a lot of money.

"Professor Gao, you come first?" Cai Meilin signaled.

"You are the boss of Hongbaozhai, so you should come first." Gao Shixin refused.

"Or why don't we see together?" Cai Meilin suggested with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll open the box." Gao Shixin said.

The two old men came forward together, and Gao Shixin reached out and opened the brocade box. The two of them felt a red light flash in front of them, and their eyes suddenly became straight.
