    "Perhaps I have insufficient eyesight and may have made a wrong judgment."

    At this time, Wang Guan said modestly: "Boss Ding, if you have time, take the painting to a specialized appraisal agency and ask them to do a comprehensive appraisal for you. This will give you more peace of mind."

    "Okay, I'll definitely take it when I have time." Boss Ding nodded repeatedly. If it was only a few thousand or tens of thousands, he would definitely not take it seriously. But according to Wang Guan, the item is worth tens of thousands, and it is not considered small money.  It cannot be taken lightly.

    ¡°After the identification results come out, remember to treat yourself.¡±

    At the right time, Expert Zhu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't invite me, but I will definitely invite Mr. Wang."

    "That's it, that's it."

    Boss Ding has a sincere smile on his face. Even if he knows that he may be perfunctory, he can't find anything wrong with it.

    "No more to say."

    At the same time, Wang Guan looked back at the jar placed on the dining table, showing a look of expectation and confusion: "The legendary Buddha Jumps over the Wall has a fragrance that spreads everywhere. Why is it served now but there is no fragrance at all?"

    The implication is that he doubts whether Boss Ding is just using a jar to fool people.

    In this regard, Expert Zhu explained with a smile: "Mr. Wang is unaware, this is a normal phenomenon. If you can smell the fragrance now, it means that the Buddha jumping over the wall is not a success."

    "oh."

    Wang Guan reacted quickly and said thoughtfully: "The aroma of meat is floating around when the altar is opened. In other words, before the jar is opened, the aroma is completely sealed in the altar. When the jar is opened, the rich aroma is released?"

    "That's right, that's it." Boss Ding nodded quickly, then asked Wang Guan and others to take a seat before taking action himself.  Carefully opened the lid of the altar.

    At this moment, an indescribable fragrance immediately flowed out, it was a mixed aroma.  Eighteen kinds of main ingredients and twelve kinds of auxiliary ingredients, such as chicken and duck, sheep knuckles, pork belly, tendons, ham, chicken and duck gizzards, fish lips, shark fins, sea cucumbers, abalone, scallops, pigeon eggs, shiitake mushrooms, and bamboo shoot tips, are combined with each other.  , including almost all the delicacies in the world.

    A variety of raw materials and auxiliary materials are processed and modulated separately.  Put it into the jar in layers, seal the mouth of the jar with lotus leaves, then cover and simmer for five or six hours.  The aromas of various ingredients are completely blended together.  After opening the altar, the strong aroma instantly filled the air, floating in the air like mist, straight into the heart and spleen.  It makes people's mouths water and their index fingers twitch.

    "good¡­¡­"

    At this time, Wang Guan couldn't help but praise him.  Then he smiled and said: "Smell the aroma. Your saliva will flow out."

    ¡°In that case, let¡¯s try it!¡±

    "Don't be polite, come on, do it yourself"

    After a little push, Wang Guan took out a spoon and gently poured a spoonful of soup and meat into the jar.  He didn't know what kind of meat it was, but it was after it entered his mouth.  It can be said that it melts in your mouth and turns into a thick fragrant juice. You can't wait to swallow it with your tongue.

    For a moment, Wang Guan let out a sigh of satisfaction, which made Boss Ding next to him smile with joy.  For restaurant owners, their biggest pursuit is that customers are happy and satisfied with their meals.  After all, if customers eat well, they will definitely come back often, and then a stable customer base will be formed, and the business will last long

    Just when Boss Ding was happy, he did not forget the agreement of punishing himself with three cups. Now that the cups had been set up and he was about to open the bottles and fill them up, bursts of noisy sounds suddenly came from outside the box.

    "What's going on?" Boss Ding frowned slightly, a little unhappy.

    Why the box is a box is not only a sign of privilege, but also because the box is relatively quiet and not as noisy as the main hall.  But now there is a commotion outside the door. Where is the tranquility?

    "Is there someone else who is drunk and acting crazy?"

    Boss Ding secretly thought, and after apologizing to Wang Guan and others with a smile, he would go out to see what happened.  However, at this moment, the door of the box opened, and two people barged in regardless of the waiter's obstruction.

    Seeing this situation, everyone in the box must have been very surprised. They also looked at the people coming and found that the two people were a man and a woman.  However, the woman was stronger, and she was the one who took the lead in breaking in. As for the man, he shrank back and looked panicked.

    "It's you¡­¡­"

    However, Boss Ding seemed to know the man and frowned: "How dare you come"

    "Boss Ding."

    The man was about twenty years old and had a few pimples on his face. Even though he was an adult, he still had a youthful air.  Under Boss Ding's glance, he became even more frightened and muttered: "It's not me who wants to come, but my sister"

    "DingThe board is right.  "

    At the same time, the woman stood up, with a straight waist and sharp eyes, full of heroic temperament, and her tone was more straightforward: "My name is Tao Li, and I am his sister. I came here today to redeem him.  That painting is mortgaged here.¡±

    "painting?"

    Hearing this, Boss Ding subconsciously looked back at the dragon painting hanging on the wall.  At this time, Tao Li also took a look, smiled a little, nodded and said, "Yes, it's the painting on the wall."

    "No, this is the money he owes you"

    While talking, Tao Li handed over an envelope, and Boss Ding took it smoothly.  The envelope was not pasted, and judging from its thickness, it was clear that there was a stack of banknotes inside, which should be quite a lot.

    "You count them."

    At this time, Tao Li said casually: "The number is right, I will take the painting."

    It can be seen that Tao Li is also a straight-tempered person. Before Boss Ding could check the banknotes, she walked over to pick up the pictures.  Seeing this situation, Boss Ding instinctively stopped him: "Wait a minute"

    "What's wrong?" Tao Li took the picture down and inspected it carefully. After finding that the picture was intact and there was nothing unusual, she turned around and said, "I gave you more money? No need to change it, it's considered interest."

    For a moment, Boss Ding felt a little frustrated, not because he had more money, but because he had less money.  If Tao Li had used money to redeem the painting before, Boss Ding would have had no objection.  But just now, after learning the value of the pictures from Wang Guan, he was reluctant to part with them.

    The problem is that even if he is reluctant to give up, Boss Ding can't find any reasonable excuse to prevent Tao Li from redeeming the picture.  If the painting is worth more than 100,000 yuan.  Perhaps he could be a little more sinister and state that the picture has paid off the debt, and that it is his own and will not be redeemed.

    But pictures are only worth tens of thousands.  Whether it is too much or too little, naturally makes Boss Ding particularly confused.  In order to covet these tens of thousands of dollars, my reputation was ruined.  It doesn¡¯t seem worth it.  Especially in front of Wang Guan and others, he didn't want to appear too greedy for money and leave a bad impression

    At the same time, I saw that Boss Ding was silent.  Tao Li also frowned: "Is there any other problem? Speaking of which, it's all this bastard's fault"

    Tao Li raised her eyebrows and stretched out two fingers.  Directly twist the young man's ears.  He reprimanded angrily: "You are so poor that you only have a few hundred yuan left, but you want to make a big sum of money. It doesn't matter if you eat the King's meal. You deserve to have your hands and feet broken and thrown out. But you shouldn't, absolutely shouldn't,  I just used the painting passed down by my grandfather as a mortgage"

    "It's not a mortgage, it's a debt repayment."

    Boss Ding couldn¡¯t help but reply that mortgage and debt repayment are semantically related.  But there is a big difference.

    However, Tao Li didn't hear it. She was still lecturing her brother, asking him to sue again and again. Her head was almost buried on her chest, but she was too embarrassed to see anyone.

    "that¡­¡­"

    At this moment, Expert Zhu spoke, frowning slightly and said, "You guys have something to do, can you go out and talk about it?"

    Expert Zhu didn¡¯t want to get involved in such a messy thing, but a few people discussing it here affected everyone¡¯s appetite.  If it was just him, he wouldn't think it mattered, but with Wang Guan still around, he had to think more.

    "¡­¡­Excuse me."

    At this time, Tao Li also reacted and quickly apologized: "I'm really sorry for bothering you. We'll go out right away."

    Boss Ding did not refuse this proposal. He was still hesitating whether to return the drawing to Tao Li.  And no matter what, the first rule is not to disturb the distinguished guests while they are eating.  At that moment, Boss Ding quickly raised his glass and drank a glass of wine, and then said with a smile: "You three, I owe you the remaining two glasses of wine. I'll be right back."

    "etc."

    In an instant, someone else spoke to stop him.  Everyone was startled and found that it was Gao Zhuang who spoke. He looked at Tao Li carefully and said hesitantly: "Have we known each other before? It feels like I have seen you somewhere?"

    "Um?"

    Hearing this, the other people¡¯s faces became a little strange.  Why do these words sound like a very clich¨¦d pick-up line?  We have to admit that Tao Li is indeed a bit beautiful, but she is not so beautiful that it makes people's hearts flutter.

    "Who are you? Do I need to know you?" Tao Li asked back, her tone was quite rude, and she obviously misunderstood Gao Zhuang's meaning.

    However, Gao Zhuang was not angry. Instead, he became thoughtful and suddenly asked: "Is your father's name Tao Tao?"

    "Huh!"

    At the right time, Tao Li was surprised??: "Do you know my dad?"

    "I know you, why don't you know me?"

    At this time, Gao Zhuang was very happy. He pointed at the young man next to Tao Li and said with a smile: "So, you must be a little bean sprout. You have grown so big in a blink of an eye that you are almost unrecognizable."

    "My name is Tao Dou, not Xiao Dou Ya."

    While speaking, the young man was also surprised and said: "Sister, it seems that he really knows us and is not trying to flirt with you."

    "What are you talking about?" Tao Li glared, and then looked at Gaozhuang seriously, but no matter how she recalled it, she had no impression of this aspect. She could only apologize and smile: "Sorry, we can't think of it. Brother, are you?  ?¡±

    "You don't remember me?"

    Gao Zhuang laughed: "Yes, you were still young at that time, and you really didn't have much memory. Where is Uncle Tao, he lives in Fuzhou? I don't even know it is here, otherwise I would have paid a visit long ago"

    "Ah, it turns out he is one of our own."

    At this time, Wang Guan said with great interest: "Brother Gao, this is a rare encounter. Please sit down and have a meal together. Let's chat slowly while eating"
