There were too many onlookers, so Li Huan had to drive slowly.
He rolled down the car window and carefully looked at the scenery outside.
A closer look at the clothing and architectural style of the pedestrians confirms that it is from the Ming Dynasty.
But I don't know where this place is?
As more and more pedestrians gathered, Li Huan was forced to stop the car.
He pushed open the door and asked a young scholar in a refined manner, "Excuse me, where am I?"
The young scholar chuckled: "Judging from your appearance, you must have come from the Western Regions. This is Suzhou! Your carriage is quite strange..."
Before the young man could finish speaking, a thin scholar beside him called out, "Brother Zhao, stop watching the commotion and don't let it interfere with our important business!"
The young scholar said, "We've come here three days in a row and come up empty-handed. I suppose we'll have to go home empty-handed today as well!"
The thin scholar said, "Brother Zhao, don't be discouraged. Perhaps you'll get lucky today and find some treasure!"
The young scholar's eyes lit up, and he stopped admiring the red electric tricycle, quickly leaving with the thin scholar.
Li Huan couldn't help but be curious.
What treasure are these two scholars trying to find?
Li Huan quickly got into the car, honked the horn to disperse the onlookers, and chased after the two scholars.
Two scholars were seen running and walking towards a mansion.
Dozens of people were gathered at the entrance of the mansion.
Li Huan sped up and arrived at the front of the mansion.
He looked closely and saw that the plaque above the gate of the mansion read "Tang Mansion".
Tang Mansion?
Li Huan was surprised: In Suzhou during the Ming Dynasty, which famous person had the surname Tang?
Just as Li Huan was pondering this, the gate of the Tang residence opened and two servants walked out.
The crowd below the steps at the entrance erupted in a clamor.
Two servants carried a bamboo basket, casually tossed it onto the steps, and quickly returned to the mansion, closing the gate tightly.
The crowd was excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and began to scramble for the bamboo baskets, shouting and pushing each other.
Li Huan became even more curious, stepped forward, and examined the area carefully.
It turned out that the bamboo basket contained many discarded papers, some with writing on them and some with paintings on them. They were regarded as treasures by everyone, and people fought and kicked each other, refusing to give in.
The scene before him felt familiar to Li Huan.
This...this looks like something I've seen in a movie before...
"I got it! I finally got it!"
The young scholar who had been questioned by Li Huan earlier held up half a painting and calligraphy, shouting excitedly.
The thin scholar who accompanied him was filled with envy and actually jumped up and snatched the calligraphy and painting away.
"You...you actually stole the treasure I picked up..." The young scholar was both shocked and furious, and lunged at the thin scholar to snatch it back.
Bang! The skinny scholar kicked the younger scholar away: "Whoever has the ability gets the treasure! Go ahead and try to steal it!"
"Ouch!" the young scholar cried out as he was kicked again by the thin scholar.
The thin scholar stuffed the calligraphy and painting into his robes, preparing to flee.
Unexpectedly, a plump scholar blocked his way, pulled out several silver ingots, and said, "Sell me the calligraphy and painting, and these silver ingots are yours!"
The thin scholar said, "Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings are extremely valuable. You think you can get rid of me with just a few ingots of silver? No way!"
Li Huan's heart skipped a beat.
Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings!
This is clearly Tang Bohu's residence.
bite!
The "God-level Meal Box" is beeping!
[Attention, Master! You have been transported to the "Film and Television World"!]
[Currently, in the movie version of "Flirting Scholar"!]
Li Huan was overjoyed.
Holy crap, it's like a movie version of "Flirting Scholar"!
A comedy film starring Stephen Chow!
A true classic!
[Attention, Master! The first mission to travel through time to "Flirting Scholar" has been issued!]
[Selling boxed lunches at a street stall to earn money for three paintings and calligraphies by Tang Bohu!]
[Mission successful! The three paintings and calligraphies obtained can be taken back to the real world!]
Li Huan hurriedly asked, "If Ming Dynasty calligraphy and paintings are brought back to modern society without the passage of time, will they be authenticated as genuine?"
[Please rest assured, Master. After bringing back the three paintings and calligraphies by Tang Bohu earned from selling boxed lunches to the real world, they will automatically be presented in the condition of antique paintings and calligraphy, and will be genuine articles!]
After hearing this, Li Huan felt relieved.
Tang Bohu's authentic works have extremely high market value!
"Jiangnan Agricultural Scene" is worth 200 million yuan!
"Mountain Stillness and Long Days" once sold for five hundred million US dollars!
"Viewing the Waterfall at Mount Lu" fetched a record-breaking $700 million at Sotheby's auction!
A ten-meter-long calligraphy work titled "Poems on Fallen Flowers" has been valued at $1.3 billion by international auction houses!
Thinking of this, Li Huan's head was spinning and his emotions were running high!
He understood that the auction prices were inflated, but even if each painting and calligraphy sold for half price, he could still earn an astonishingly huge income!
Calm down first!
Li Huan silently urged herself to stay rational.
In the movie version of "Flirting Scholar", Stephen Chow plays Tang Bohu, who is not only highly skilled in calligraphy and painting, but also has excellent martial arts skills, is proficient in music, and is good at wooing women.
He had no shortage of gold and silver jewelry; one could say he regarded money as dirt.
He only lacks love and needs a female confidante.
With eight wives at home, who played mahjong and dominoes every day, creating a chaotic and troublesome atmosphere, Tang Bohu suffered from headaches and even mild depression.
Therefore, what attracts Tang Bohu the most at present is not the food, but the maid of Prince Ning's mansion - Qiu Xiang.
Li Huan sets up a stall selling boxed lunches at the entrance of the Tang Mansion, but it's estimated that he won't be able to persuade Tang Bohu to give him the three paintings and calligraphies.
What if you set up a stall selling boxed lunches at the entrance of Grand Tutor Hua's mansion, first attract Qiu Xiang, and then try to win over Tang Bohu after getting to know her?
After thinking it over, Li Huan felt it wasn't quite right.
Tang Bohu also had some knowledge of food, and he usually liked to roast chicken wings.
Sure enough, the aroma of roasted meat wafted out from the courtyard.
It's obvious that Tang Bohu is busy roasting chicken wings!
Li Huan pondered quietly, recalling the plot of "Flirting Scholar".
At the beginning of the film, Tang Bohu dips a brush in sauce and smears it on the chicken wings on the barbecue grill. Then Zhu Zhishan asks to see Tang Bohu and asks him to paint a picture to help him pay off his gambling debts.
To focus on his painting, Tang Bohu instructed his servants to throw the trash from the bamboo baskets out the gate, allowing the waiting crowd to scramble for it before dispersing.
Coincidentally, Li Huan traveled through time and witnessed the scene of people scrambling for scrap paper and calligraphy.
Since Tang Bohu is in the mood to grill chicken wings today, it means he has a good appetite. We should take this opportunity to set up a stall to sell boxed lunches and attract Tang Bohu's attention.
After thinking it over, Li Huan quickly set up his stall and took out a folding table and stools from the back of the truck.
He picked up a ladle, tapped the edge of the food bucket, and, using his inner strength, shouted loudly!
"Boxed lunches for sale! Boxed lunches for sale! Top-quality boxed lunches, delicious boxed lunches!"
"Each boxed meal contains four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, with unlimited staple food, and comes with a complimentary soup!"
"Hey everyone, don't miss out! Come buy your boxed lunches!"
As Li Huan called out, he lifted the lid of the food bucket, releasing a rich aroma of vegetables.
The fragrance drifted on the wind and entered the Tang residence...
