Chapter 286: Conquer them with your cooking skills!



In order to verify the identity of the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" hidden in the scroll, this painting must not be moved now!

No matter how itchy Yang Jing felt, he knew this truth.

The painting hidden in the scroll is not any other painting, but one of the ten most famous paintings handed down in China!

Even the Holy Ring was eager to try this painting, so you can imagine how valuable it is. You can't just scratch it because you feel itchy, because that would make the appraisal of this painting full of uncertainties.

Resisting the itch in his heart, Yang Jing simply threw the scroll into the storage space. Out of sight, out of mind, he felt much better now.

However, the stimulation brought by this painting was so great that Yang Jing lost all desire to sleep and simply took out the collected Japanese porcelain from the storage space.

It's no wonder that under the light, the colors of these Japanese porcelains appear particularly beautiful. Even though these porcelains have a history of at least more than a hundred years, it has to be admitted that Japanese porcelains are indeed unique in terms of glaze rendering.

Yang Jing opened his laptop again and began to search for the person "Abe Ami".

You don’t know until you check. Once you check, Yang Jing is a little shocked.

It turns out that Abe Akihabara can be said to be the master of Kutani ware in Japan's Meiji era. His works were extremely popular more than a hundred years ago, but because they are a bit old, Kutani ware made by Abe Akihabara is now extremely rare even in Japan.

In Japan, there are only seven pieces of Kutani ware made by Abe Akihabara in existence, and each one is definitely a national treasure of Japan.

Seeing this, Yang Jing felt a little bit "beautiful" in his heart.

I didn't expect that I just made a spur of the moment trip to Jinling in 1982 and visited the black market of that era. I accidentally bought not only a painting of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", but also bought eleven pieces of Abe Akihabara's Kutani ware for two hundred yuan.

Let’s ignore the “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” for now, but if these eleven pieces of Kutani ware were available now, they would be really worth a lot of money.

If the Japanese knew that he had eleven pieces of Kutani ware made by Abe Akihabara himself, the whole of Japan would probably be in an uproar.

It is a well-known fact that Japanese culture is inherited from China. However, it has not been a long time since Japanese culture developed into a culture with its own characteristics, so the Japanese attach great importance to cultural inheritance.

In China, there are many porcelains that are three or four hundred years old. If they are not the finest products of the imperial kilns of past dynasties, it is difficult to be designated as national treasures. But in Japan, it is not the case. For example, Kutani ware or Arita ware, which have only a history of more than 300 years, can be regarded as national treasures.

"Based on the Japanese's fanatical worship of these Kutani ware, these eleven pieces of Kutani ware should be able to do something! Well, the Japanese have quite a few national treasures that they snatched from China back then..." Yang Jing thought secretly in his heart as he played with a Kutani ware teacup. A vague idea gradually formed in his mind.

Because he had bought all these treasures on this trip, Yang Jing almost didn't sleep the whole night. It was almost five o'clock in the morning when he finally fell into a drowsy sleep. However, he was woken up by a call from Gege before eight o'clock in the morning.

Yang Jing naturally could not refuse his wife's supreme summoning technique. So Yang Jing could only force his eyelids to open, which weighed a thousand pounds, and yawned all the way to Gege's house, almost making the taxi driver fall asleep.

Since he came to the Gege's house in broad daylight, Yang Jing couldn't just pass by the house without entering. Fortunately, before coming to Jinling, he had already prepared a lot of Tianqu specialties in the storage space, as well as specialties brought back from the United States, so he didn't come empty-handed.

Not only did Gege live in this villa, but Gege's grandmother also lived here. When an old person is around, it would be very rude not to bring something when visiting.

Four freshly roasted chickens, four boxes of American ginseng, four boxes of Leling golden dates and four bottles of red wine from Screaming Eagle Winery made the old lady so happy that she couldn't even see her eyebrows.

The old lady fell in love with Yang Jing. The things didn’t matter to her. The best thing for her was that this young man came to visit her.

In the end, the old lady was so happy that the couple decided not to go out. Today, apart from the nanny, there was only Gege at Gege's house. If she went out with Yang Jing again, leaving the old lady alone at home would not be a good idea.

Besides, Yang Jing looked like he didn't sleep well the night before, so Gege simply canceled her plan to go out in the morning and stayed at home to talk to grandma with Yang Jing.

After talking a lot and drinking two cups of strong black tea, Yang Jing became more energetic. Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Yang Jing simply rolled up his sleeves and cooked four dishes and a soup.

The braised chicken was ready, just put it on a plate and put it in the steamer, and it could be served directly after a little heating. The refrigerator in the Gege's kitchen was well stocked, and Yang Jing even saw the fresh oysters and mutton that the nanny had bought from the market early in the morning.

So Yang Jing took out a large piece of white radish from the refrigerator, and stewed a pot of mutton and white radish in a pressure cooker, and sprinkled a handful of wolfberries in it. This is the best way to replenish the energy for the elderly in winter.

While the mutton was stewing, Yang Jing opened the fresh oysters, took out the oyster meat and chopped it up. He also took out a handful of shrimps, thawed them, and chopped them up, and made a big bowl of seafood dumpling soup with cream vegetables.

Finally, I made a dish of pickled cabbage with vinegar. This dish is the quickest to make. Just cut the cabbage and put it in the wok, stir it twice, add vinegar, salt and sugar and it’s ready to serve.
