Chen Dong chuckled. "Hehe. I didn't know they put this here, or even when they received this treasure."
Old Qin nodded. "It seems you really don't know much about these things. The parrot-patterned ewer with handle is an important cultural relic discovered in the Hejia Village hoard in Xijing, Qin Province. I didn't expect you to have one here as well."
Hearing Lao Qin say this, Chen Dong's heart tightened: What's going on? Could it be the same thing?
This Jiang Fei is so unreliable; it would be terrible if he caused something serious.
Seeing Chen Dong's expression, Old Qin smiled slightly and said calmly, "Don't worry, that's impossible. As far as I know, the parrot-patterned teapot from Qin Province is still safely in the Qin Province History Museum."
"That's good, that's good!" Chen Dong breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He doesn't want to become a wanted criminal or face legal trouble because of cultural relics.
Old Qin said, "But you guys are really going too far. Such an important thing is just displayed so openly outside. Isn't that inviting people to make mistakes?"
"Hehe, it's alright. Do you think so many people are like you, able to recognize it at a glance? They would definitely think it's not a real antique but a replica."
"Hehe, that's true!" Old Qin stroked his beard and laughed.
Suddenly, a glint flashed in Lao Qin's eyes, and he said to Chen Dong, "You must have a lot of other good things here, right? Is this what you want me to see?"
Chen Dong nodded. "Yes, I wanted you to give me some advice. But let's skip tonight. You should get some rest, and we can talk about it tomorrow."
Old Qin thought for a moment and said, "Okay. Then I'll bother you then."
Chen Dong smiled slightly, "Don't say I'm bothering you. I have a lot to rely on you for."
By this time, Wolong had finished examining Lao Qin, applied medicine, and disinfected and bandaged the wound.
"If you need anything, just let us know. We can hear you," Chen Dong said again.
Old Qin expressed his gratitude again, saying, "I'm much better now, no need to trouble yourself."
After saying a few more words to reassure Lao Qin, Chen Dong left the room.
At this moment, Chen Dong stopped the doorman, Old Li, and asked him to keep an eye on Old Qin's side to see what else he needed. He wanted to prepare in advance and try to meet Old Qin's requests as much as possible.
Old Li readily agreed.
Once outside the room, Wolong said to Chen Dong, "Brother Dong, do we really trust this old Qin that much?"
Chen Dong smiled slightly and said, "This is also a way to test him and see if he will do anything unusual. The things outside are not actually the most valuable. Even if he wanted to steal them, he wouldn't make much money. Besides, after getting to know him, I feel that his character is alright. You have to trust my judgment!"
Hearing Chen Dong say this, Wolong felt relieved.
However, he didn't sleep very soundly at night and even secretly got up to patrol the yard once.
Perhaps it was because of the many things that had happened in the past two days, and the various dangers that had come one after another, that Wolong felt a sense of urgency and pressure.
Of course, nothing really happened in the end.
The next day, Chen Dong got up, washed up, and went to look for Lao Qin.
At this moment, Old Qin had already gotten up and was wandering around in the yard.
Chen Dong greeted Lao Qin, "Lao Qin, you seem to be recovering quite well!"
"Yes, I have to thank you all! Not only did you save me, but Wolong also applied medicine and massaged me," Old Qin said.
Then, Lao Qin changed the subject.
"The environment here is really nice, and the decorations are so nice too," Old Qin exclaimed sincerely.
“Especially since you have so many old objects here, some of which can even be considered antiques.”
Chen Dong didn't take credit for it, but simply said that it was done by his subordinates.
In fact, he didn't stay here for long, nor did he actively search for old items.
Many of these things were things I was seeing for the first time.
"Alright, now that you're here, let me see what treasures you have," Old Qin said impatiently.
His eyes seemed to gleam with an unusual light.
"Old Qin, there's no need to rush. Let's go have breakfast first, and then we can watch it properly."
Old Qin wanted to insist, but Chen Dong stuck to his opinion, saying, "People need to eat to survive. You've suffered so many injuries, you need to rest and recuperate properly. You can't just throw yourself back into work right away."
Old Qin had no choice but to agree to Chen Dong's suggestion.
At this time, Old Li bought a lot of food for breakfast. They were all local specialties of Beijing, such as fried dough rings, fermented mung bean juice, soy milk, fried dough twists, tofu pudding, sesame seed cakes, fried dough sticks, and so on.
Paired with Liubiju's pickles, the taste is absolutely amazing.
Even Chen Dong and his fellow southerners enjoyed their meal immensely.
However, Chen Dong really couldn't get used to that kind of fermented mung bean juice.
So it was a treat for Lao Qin and a few others, who drank it with great relish.
Chen Dong had heard from others that people from other places generally don't like to drink douzhi (fermented mung bean juice), but if they can get used to it, they will gradually come to love its delicious taste.
Fermented mung bean juice paired with fried dough rings is absolutely delicious!
Seeing how much Qian Lao, Lao Li, and the others enjoyed their meal, Chen Dong thought to himself that this was truly a delicacy from the old Beijing.
The meal was finished quickly.
Although Lao Qin was in a hurry, he still ate in a rather refined manner, unlike the others who wolfed down their food.
However, his speed was not slow, and he was even on par with Chen Dong.
As soon as Lao Qin put down his bowl and chopsticks, he said to Chen Dong, "Hurry up! Take me to see something new."
