He took the tea cakes and returned to Mingcheng with the two of them. He handed over the remaining tea cakes and said:
"Old Ming, take another look. Is this the tea you mentioned?"
Mingcheng took it and said as soon as he looked at it, "Yes, absolutely. Look at this paper and this chapter."
He showed the oil paper to everyone, and saw that there was a bright red seal and a blue seal on it, but the words written on them could not be seen clearly.
"This red seal is from the Mengding Tea Association, and the blue seal is from the Yiwu Tea Administration. The overlapping red and blue make it impossible to forge." He pointed at the contents above. "These two seals are both certificates of grade, proving that this item is a tenth-level annual tribute."
Lu Yuanhu asked tremblingly, "Is there any content that is inferior?"
Mingcheng broke off a few tea leaves, put them under his nose and sniffed them, saying:
"Impossible! I guarantee this on my reputation. This is genuine Grade 10 Yiwu Zhengshan Ancient Tree Tea. I guarantee it."
After that, he continued, "I was lucky enough to drink this kind of tea once at a tea tasting party hosted by the Gu family. I will never forget the taste. I can tell you responsibly that it is absolutely correct!"
Shi Lingyu also realized that something was wrong at this time. She crossed her arms and felt a little nervous.
Lu Yuanhu held the tea cake and asked carefully, "How much is this tea cake worth?"
"That depends on the specifications and condition of the tea cake, and so on," Mingcheng said, "but I can tell you the most recent reference price is a little over 55 million."
Shi Lingyu couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, "Mr. Ming, are you sure? Are you talking about a tea cake or a cart of tea?"
"A tea cake, of course!"
Lu Yuanhu grabbed him and asked, "Then how much is my remaining tea worth?"
Mingcheng looked at him sympathetically and said, "Old Lu, do you want me to tell the truth?"
"Tell me the truth, I can handle it."
"To be honest, I can tell you that this is valuable mainly because the tea cake is easy to preserve and collect. Even the quality of the pressed shape of the tea cake is part of its value," Mingcheng said. "Now there is only so little left. I can only crush it and sell it as loose tea, which is not worth that much!"
"How much can you point to now?" Lu Yuanhu asked.
"I told you, five times the gold," Mingcheng said. "A piece of tea cake is 357 grams. Based on the gold price of 390, multiply it by 5, and that's..."
He took out his phone and calculated for a while before coming to a conclusion: "Yuan. Nearly 700,000."
Lu Yuanhu sat down on the chair.
Ming Cheng added, "You only have a little over a third left, and you have to give me a discount, which means you only have a little over 200,000 left."
"This piece of tea cake cost over 50 million yuan, and I spent over 200,000 yuan on a meal of tea eggs..." Lu Yuanhu hugged his head, "I feel so wronged!"
Only then did Mingcheng believe that Lu Yuanhu was not just showing off.
He patted Lu Yuanhu on the shoulder and said:
"Old Lu, Old Lu, just think of it as eating a meal of tea eggs worth over 50 million yuan."
Although Lu Yuanhu's family is wealthy, more than 50 million is not a small amount of money for anyone. No one can bear it if it is just wasted like this.
Especially since Lu Yuanhu was half a self-made man and knew that making money was not easy. He felt his heart bleeding after losing tens of millions of dollars unfairly today.
Sister Huang stood nearby and wanted to escape. She felt like she was suffocating.
She was afraid that the master and his wife would be angry with her. After all, she was the one who had just cooked
Shi Lingyu asked from the side, "Mr. Ming, are you saying that this piece of tea cake was originally worth over 50 million?"
Mingcheng said: "Yes."
"How is that possible?" Shi Lingyu cried out in amazement. "This tea cake was sent by Lu Ruixiang's family. Don't I know how financially secure Lu Ruixiang's family is? How could they possibly afford this?"
Lu Yuanhu just remembered this and looked up and said, "Yeah, his family can't afford such an expensive gift."
Shi Lingyu added, "Besides, don't I know what kind of personality Chen Sheng has? If he gave me a piece of tea worth over 50 million yuan, he would have wanted to use loudspeakers to blare in my neighborhood for a month. How could he just let it go like that?"
Lu Yuanhu patted his wife and asked, "Are you sure it was a gift from their family?"
Shi Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "I asked him, and he said his son bought it with his own money and sent it to us."
"Son, Chen Hai?" Lu Yuanhu asked.
Shi Lingyu shook her head: "It's not Chen Hai. Chen Hai might actually be able to afford this tea cake. He's talking about his other son, the one he left in the countryside, named Chen Ya."
"Chen Ya..." Lu Yuanhu fell into deep thought.
Mingcheng sat there and said, "I don't know whether their family can afford it, but I know that this tea cake is definitely what I said. You can see for yourself."
Lu Yuanhu clenched his fist and said to Shi Lingyu:
"It's really you, a woman, who's short-sighted and looks down on others. They gave you such expensive tea, but you treated it as trash... Where are Chen Sheng and his son? Did they just leave like that?"
Shi Lingyu nodded nervously and said, "Let's go."
Lu Yuanhu thought for a moment, then stood up and paced back and forth. He sighed and said, "I'll call and apologize."
Shi Lingyu crossed her arms and frowned, "Isn't that necessary?..."
As a branch of the Lu family, Lu Ruixiang's family has never had any status in the Lu family, and their relationship with them cannot be considered as relatives. They don't even pay attention to Lu Yuanhu when he tries to play with them.
Especially since she married a man from the countryside, who was a second-married man and had a child. Therefore, her family was the laughing stock in the family for a long time.
