11:30 a.m.
A group of people went to a high-end hotel for dinner.
Zhuang Zhou asked Li Tao to pack up a few dishes from another table and first deliver them to the three female store clerks.
Then everyone started eating and drinking.
Because he has to drive, Zhuang Zhou doesn't drink any alcohol.
Liu Yunhe doesn't drink alcohol.
As for Liu Mengxuan and Li Tao, they had work to do and could not drink at noon.
In the end, it was Tang Youde who drank two taels of white wine alone.
During the meal, Zhuang Zhou and Liu Yunhe had a lot of conversation.
Liu Yunhe is very concerned about how many items are available in antique shops now.
Zhuang Zhou asked Li Tao to report the previously collected data.
The antique shop currently sells the following items:
1 copper thin-necked bottle, 8 copper plates, 2 copper incense burners, 2 copper long cups, 5 copper spittoons, 2 copper small plates, 3 silver cups, 7 silver basins, 7 copper long-necked flasks, 1 copper door knocker, 3 copper irons, 2 copper covered jars, and 3 copper plates.
In addition, there are spoons, copper bowls, small bowls, engraved copper boxes, copper swords, copper belt ornaments, copper chariot and horse ornaments, silver hairpins, copper rulers, copper locks, copper bells, copper tweezers, copper armlets, copper scissors, copper stirrups, etc.
In addition, there are bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals, including dragons, tigers, sheep, horses, and pigs.
A total of 79 items.
When Liu Yunhe heard this, his face was already filled with joy.
"Brother Zhuang, it seems that this time I will be the one to make money with you!"
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:
"I can't even name a lot of these items. I'll have to trouble you later."
These items are to be sold as high-quality imitation handicrafts.
Be sure to think of a name.
This kind of professional work will be left to Liu Yunhe.
"Also, I'll have to trouble you with contacting buyers and opening up sales channels. If you need any cooperation, just contact Li Tao directly."
Liu Yunhe knew about the store manager Li Tao.
Anyway, he doesn't have to worry about these things because Zhuang Zhou will take care of them.
And about sales channels.
Liu Yunhe really has a way.
After all, too many of his friends in the circle want to buy these high-quality imitation handicrafts.
In particular, he has a good friend who is the director of the Kyoto Museum.
Although these objects are high-quality imitation handicrafts.
But it can also be preserved as an antique.
And open to the public for exhibition.
Afterwards, Zhuang Zhou asked some questions about Tang Dynasty bronzes.
Liu Yunhe also told Zhuang Zhou everything he knew.
For example, by the Tang Dynasty, bronze ware was no longer as popular.
Everyday bronze wares were gradually replaced by gold, silver, porcelain and lacquerware.
Copper is mainly used in the field of coinage.
In view of this, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, issued several edicts prohibiting the casting of bronze ware.
Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty.
Except bronze mirrors and statues.
There were few breakthroughs in bronze smelting technology, and output was relatively small.
So now Zhuang Zhou Antique Shop has almost 72 bronze artifacts.
Although these bronze artifacts are currently classified as high-imitation handicrafts copied by later generations due to their novel materials.
But Liu Yunhe also gave his opinion that these items can be sold at extremely high prices as handicrafts.
After eating and drinking, Liu Yunhe invited Zhuang Zhou to have tea at the Golden Hammer Group.
Zhuang Zhou declined politely.
Because he is really too busy!
In the afternoon, I also made an appointment with Meng Xuan to go to Uncle Cheng’s studio to pick up clothes.
I have to go back to Chang'an to get the painting in the evening, and I don't know how Yuchi Yiseng's painting is going.
Now we can only place our hopes on him.
After bidding farewell to Liu Yunhe and others.
Zhuang Zhou drove Li Tao back to the Qingshui River Antique Market first, and then gave him some instructions.
Then he took out his cell phone to contact Meng Xuan.
My eyes caught sight of Ural basking in the sun against the windshield.
This guy!
He wasn't lying down to bask in the sun.
But lying on his back with his arms and legs spread out, very comfortably?
Damn it!
When Zhuang Zhou saw this scene, he wanted to beat it to death.
"Ural, why are you sleeping lying down?"
"Oh, I want to feel how humans sleep."
“…”
Zhuang Zhou was furious:
"But you're a turtle, okay? How can a turtle lie down and sleep? Huh?"
Ural retorted:
"No one can see me now, so what's wrong with me lying down and sleeping?"
“…”
Zhuang Zhou was speechless.
After thinking for a long time, I wanted to say something to it.
Finally, I thought of one sentence:
"Can you be a little more like a turtle?!"
"Please! I'm an intelligent being created by the Cybermen. Besides, don't I look like a turtle now?"
Zhuang Zhou was speechless again.
This son of a bitch now dares to talk back.
Forget it!
"If you like lying down, just lie down. I'm too lazy to help you up."
According to Zhuang Zhou's understanding, a turtle cannot turn over after turning over.
So he was also very curious.
How did this Ural turn itself over?
Just as this thought passed, I heard Ural say:
"I don't need your help."
Then.
I saw Ural and didn't know how it was done.
He jumped very flexibly and then touched the ground with all four legs.
He lay down again steadily.
Zhuang Zhou shook his head.
It seems that there is no need to worry about the Ural!
"Meng Xuan, where are you?"
Zhuang Zhou made a Bluetooth call to Meng Xuan while driving.
"I'm home now, are you done?"
Meng Xuan's voice came from the other end of the phone, clear and enthusiastic.
"Yes, there is time now."
"That's perfect! Uncle Cheng contacted me and said the clothes are ready. Let's meet at Uncle Cheng's studio!"
