Ning Xi also hid a lot of treasures in her own space, so she just admired the dazzling array of antiques on the shelves and had no intention of taking them for herself.
As for what Zhao Huaiyan said, "What's mine is yours," just listen to it.
The other person had gone to great lengths to get it, so she felt embarrassed to just take it away.
She smiled slyly, deliberately put on a stern face, and acted like an interrogator: "You are very brave, committing crimes against the wind. Tell me the truth, when did it start?"
Zhao Huaiyan also confessed truthfully: "Report to the commander, it started when I was twelve years old!"
There has always been movement, big or small.
In fact, everyone knows that these are good things, but some people cannot eat enough and have to sell their property.
The first treasure he received was the dagger.
In the days when people were hungry, some people secretly brought things to exchange, but because no one knew the value of the items, the pawnshop lowered the price. In the end, Zhao Huaiyan exchanged it out of sympathy.
Of course, he also knew that this dagger might not be the "dagger" in "the picture is revealed", but it was indeed not young.
Also, the item given to him along with the dagger was not wrong in terms of dynasty, which was one of the reasons for his speculation.
Ning Xi praised him mischievously, "Not bad, you're so young and yet you're capable of such great things! You're a talented person. Do you often find these treasures at the scrap yard?"
Zhao Huaiyan pinched her face condescendingly. It was soft and elastic, and more comfortable to pinch than white dough.
"Yes, there are all kinds of things to pick up, including Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain, large yellow croaker, and even the emperor's imperial edict! Why don't you come to my place to pick up some after get off work every day?"
Ning Xi raised her head and glared at him with a look that seemed to be both angry and amused: "Humph! Sima Zhao's intentions are known to everyone."
She gets off work earlier, isn't it just because he wants her to pick him up? It's no big deal, just satisfy him!
"Don't let others know, just you know it." Zhao Huaiyan took the opportunity to hook her into his arms, holding her as he looked at the whole place, and carefully introduced the origin of each treasure.
"When the situation improves, I'll earn enough money to build a house and exhibit all of them. It's a shame to leave such beautiful things covered in dust. People should be able to appreciate their stories and beauty."
After saying that, he let out a long sigh.
“I don’t know if that day will ever come.”
"Yes, the people will not allow the chaos to continue for too long." Ning Xi comforted him and spoke the truth.
After looking at the antiques, Zhao Huaiyan took her to a covered shelf and slowly opened it.
"Here are medical books and some ancient books and rare copies. I think you should be more interested."
Books are easily affected by moisture and can be eaten by insects, so protective measures must be more rigorous.
In addition, he properly stored the easily damaged treasures, and in terms of quantity, the ones he had at home were just a drop in the bucket.
But in terms of value, these are the most valuable treasures.
"Dietary recipes?" Ning Xi casually pulled out a book while wearing gloves. The text was still in traditional Chinese characters and the pages were already yellowed.
When Zhao Huaiyan saw clearly what she was holding, he felt a sense of telepathy.
"It is said that this was written by the chef of the imperial kitchen of the Ming Dynasty emperor. I don't know if it is true or not."
Ning Xi was surprised: "Have you researched everything in here?"
With so many books, the workload must be enormous. He has to contribute to the inheritance of civilization!
"Not really." Zhao Huaiyan took the book and flipped to a page. "Out of curiosity, I recreated one of the dishes, but the taste wasn't as good as I expected."
Unexpectedly, she picked up a book she had studied. Although it was not a big deal, such a coincidence made him feel sweet.
"Hahaha~" Ning Xi laughed after reading it, "You don't think that what the emperor eats is the most delicious in the world, do you?"
The Ming Dynasty was not so bad. As a member of the world trade cycle, it at least introduced peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes.
If we go back further, to the Qin Dynasty, people ate millet, which was actually quite coarse.
The meat dishes were also wild game with a strong smell. Due to the lack of seasoning, the nobles usually roasted them.
For ordinary people, it is probably even more difficult to eat meat.
In other words, the food they eat now may taste better than what Qin Shihuang ate.
"That's not the case. I'm just curious." Zhao Huaiyan was still young at that time and found everything new.
Ning Xi put the recipe back and turned to the other side: "Let me look at the medical book."
I just got it and the system didn't even prompt me, it seems the taste is really not that good.
Medical books really do have some substance. She picked up one at random and found knowledge that she had not learned before.
This book is about the combination of Chinese herbs, and also includes a detailed explanation of the medicinal properties, what are the incompatible and what are the compatible, and when can these properties be cleverly utilized...
Ning Xi was so fascinated by it that she immediately began to read it with a flashlight, absorbed in it.
Zhao Huaiyan, who was left out in the cold: "......"
I originally wanted to show off my financial strength, but ended up letting a book steal my attention!
After a long time, he called out in a low voice: "Ningning..."
"Huh? Oh, what's wrong?"
Ning Xi then felt a little sore in her neck, but she was still reluctant to put down the book in her hand.
"The light and air here are not good. I'll pack it for you. You can take it to your room and look at it. Then put it back after you're done."
Zhao Huaiyan is not stingy, but these things are relatively sensitive and cannot be placed randomly. It is better to put them in the basement for safety.
"Do you want to become Dr. Hu's disciple?" Zhao Huaiyan took a piece of old cloth from the box next to the shelf and wrapped the book.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
