    When they were almost done eating, Meng Zitao wiped his mouth and was very satisfied with the dishes here. He said with a smile: "The dishes here are really good. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends in the future."

    "Then let me say thank you on behalf of my friend."

    Wang Qingchen bowed his hand to Meng Zitao, and then called his friend to come over.

    About ten minutes later, Wang Qingchen¡¯s friend came over.

    Wang Qingchen¡¯s friend¡¯s name is Wei Yousheng. His image is similar to what ordinary people imagine as a restaurant chef. He has a fat head and big ears, but he is a bit overweight, giving people the illusion that the floor is bumpy when he walks.

    Wang Qingchen introduced everyone, and when he learned Meng Zitao's identity, Wei Yousheng couldn't help complaining to Wang Qingchen and said: "Qingchen, you are not very interesting. You actually launched a surprise attack on me. If I knew that Teacher Meng was coming, I would definitely do it."  I¡¯ll cook myself and give Teacher Meng some of my specialty dishes!¡±

    Wang Qingchen smiled and said, "I'm just asking Brother Meng to help introduce business to you. I don't necessarily think that every time a friend introduced by Brother Meng comes over for dinner in the future, you should cook it yourself."

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Let's try Brother Wei's cooking again next time. Moreover, today's dishes are very delicious. I will definitely recommend them to my relatives and friends in the future."

    "Thank you very much." Wei Yousheng said his thanks repeatedly, grinning happily.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "You're welcome. The main thing is that the dishes here are unique and delicious. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed to introduce them to my friends."

    "I still have to thank Teacher Meng for his kind words." Wei Yousheng said modestly.

    After a few polite words to each other, Meng Zitao said: "Brother Wei, I am also very interested in cooking. Among the dishes on this table, I am very interested in the gold medal soil ginseng. I wonder if Brother Wei can't tell me about it."  How to do it, of course, if it¡¯s about a unique secret recipe, then don¡¯t talk about it.¡±

    The reason why Meng Zitao asked about how to make this dish is because He Wanyi's family usually likes to eat radishes. In order to please his fianc¨¦e's family, it is reasonable to inquire about it.

    "Hey, the secret ingredient for this dish is simmering. The key point is the long time. All the condiments are commonly used. There is nothing bad to say."

    Wei Yousheng introduced the recipe of this golden radish dish in detail. With this as a topic, everyone became more and more interested in each other, and their relationship became much closer.

    The guys were chatting so happily that they all forgot the time. In the blink of an eye, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

    Wei Yousheng smiled and said, "It's getting late now, and I won't waste everyone's time. Teacher Meng, please go slowly."

    ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll contact you when we have time.¡±

    "OK."

    Speaking of this, Wei Yousheng suddenly thought of something and said with some embarrassment: "Teacher Meng, I wonder if I can ask you for a painting?"

    Since it was a good match, Meng Zitao readily agreed: "Of course it's no problem. In this case, you can go to my store to get it tomorrow afternoon."

    ¡°Thank you so much.¡±

    Wei Yousheng quickly expressed his thanks and asked everyone to wait a moment. After a while, he brought a brocade box over.

    "Teacher Meng, I have nothing to thank you for. This is a copper ink cartridge I got some time ago. See if you like it."

    Copper ink cartridges are traditional stationery supplies and were popular in modern my country. According to "Tian Zie Ou Wen" records: "Ink cartridges are popular and Duan inkstones are cheap. In the old pits of the Song Dynasty, they cost no more than ten gold, and Jia people did not know them. They were on the desks of scholars. "Except for ink cartridges, there are very few stone inkstones." Copper ink cartridges, with their advantages of being light and flexible, and keeping the ink color smooth and black, once surpassed stone inkstones and became a must-have item on the desks of business accounts, private schools, and literati at that time.

    During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, copper engraving artists represented by Chen Yinsheng and Zhang Yuechen made copper ink cartridges one of the main carriers of copper engraving art, making it an exquisite craft and art with words, patterns, decorations, and logos.  Taste.  According to "Jingcheng Fanchang Ji": "The ink cartridges of the capital, the elephant-eye bamboo fretwork of Gan Province, and the embroidery of Jingchu are the three famous things in China." It can be seen that the engraved copper ink cartridges of the capital were famous at home and abroad at that time.

    The copper ink box brought by Wei Yousheng was engraved with landscape pictures in white copper, showing the weeping willows on both sides of the strait.  The painting is left blank diagonally, and the contrast between the messiness in the left and right corners and the ethereal space in the middle reflects the agility of the weeping willows and the tranquility of the river.  On the right bank, there is a solitary boat moored, and there is no boat crossing the river. On the left bank, there is a scholar who is meditating in a pavilion, as if he is chanting to the river.  There was an old man fishing in the river, sitting in a small boat. The boat was slightly tilted, as if a fish had taken the bait.

    Meng Zitao looked at the copper ink cartridge and declined: "Brother Wei, there is absolutely no need for you to do this."

    Wei Yousheng said: "Teacher Meng, you?Take it, I bought this copper ink cartridge just for show, and it would be a waste to leave it here.  "

    At this time, Wang Qingchen next to him suddenly spoke: "Brother Wei, where did you buy this copper ink cartridge?"

    "Chen Laizi, what's the problem?" Wei Yousheng asked subconsciously.

    Wang Qingchen was speechless and said: "Why are you buying things from Chen Laizi? This guy's goods all come from some small merchants and hawkers. There are miscellaneous things. There are few treasures and many fakes. Among the fakes, there are also some high-quality ones made by masters."  Imitation, accidentally hit someone in the eye. You said you know nothing about this, why did you do it? "

    "You mean, this thing is fake?" Wei Yousheng opened his eyes wide, looking incredulous.

    Wang Qingchen pointed to the copper ink cartridge and said: "Of course it is fake. What model do you see written here? 'The second year of Daoguang'. At this time, this kind of ink cartridge has not been born yet, how could it appear?"

    Wei Yousheng said: "No, I have seen a Kangxi style copper ink cartridge in a museum before."

    "Impossible!" Wang Qingchen shook his head repeatedly, feeling that he must have made a mistake.

    Meng Zitao said: "It's not that the museum made a mistake, it should be an inkstone box, not an ink cartridge. In addition, it's not that there were no copper ink cartridges during the Daoguang period, but it was not popular at that time and not many people used it, so the surface of the box was basically undecorated.  From the late Xianfeng period to Tongzhi and Guangxu, ink cartridges became popular all over the world, so some people began to make fuss about the surface of the ink cartridges. This is the reason why the engraved copper ink cartridges came into being."

    "There are also relevant records about when the engraving of copper ink cartridges began. Xie Songdai, an ink-making merchant during the Tongzhi period, said: 'The one who heard about Liulichang's professional ink cartridges began in Wanfengzhai. The one who engraved on the cover began with Chen Yinsheng Maocai. The shop and  People are especially here, and it was really popular in the early years of Tongzhi.'"

    "What we should note here is that Xie Songdai and Chen Yinsheng were contemporaries. Chen's Wanfengzhai and Xie's Yidege were both located in Liulichang, the capital. Three years after Wanfeng opened, Yidege also opened.  Therefore, Xie's words are far more reliable than the irresponsible remarks of later generations. Xie Songdai said that engraved copper ink cartridges were "actually popular in the early years of Tongzhi". He did not say "prevalent" before there were no engraved copper ink cartridges. Therefore, the engraved copper ink cartridges of the Xianfeng period were found  It is still possible to have ink cartridges, but it is definitely impossible to have them during the Daoguang period, when Chen Yinsheng was not born yet."

    After hearing Meng Zitao¡¯s thoughtful explanation, Wei Yousheng was embarrassed and angry. He quickly apologized to Meng Zitao: ¡°Teacher Meng, I¡¯m so sorry. Fortunately, I found it in time, otherwise I would have missed a lot.¡±

    Meng Zitao waved his hand: "As the old saying goes, he who doesn't know is not guilty. Besides, experts in our field all have their eyes open."

    Wang Qingchen took over and said: "Brother Wei, the antique industry is too deep. No one will help you in the future. You should learn not to buy it, otherwise you will be deceived again."

    Wei Yousheng nodded and said: "Well, I will definitely not touch this randomly in the future. There is also a lame Chen. I have to settle the score with him!"

    "No, it's useless to go to him. On the contrary, you may suffer a loss." Wang Qingchen explained some of the rules in the antique shop to Wei Yousheng.

    "In other words, I can only knock out my teeth and swallow them in my stomach?"

    Seeing that both Meng Zitao and Wang Qingchen expressed this, Wei Yousheng was quite depressed, but he had no choice but to sigh, but he was too unwilling to accept this loss

    But he said that early the next morning, Meng Zitao received a call from Xie Mingxu's mother, saying that Xie Mingxu had woken up and seemed to be normal except for his bad complexion. He expressed his gratitude to Meng Zitao.

    After that, Xie Mingxu called and expressed his gratitude again, and said that he would come to express his gratitude in person.

    Meng Zitao originally asked Xie Mingxu to have a good rest, but Xie Mingxu was adamant, so he had no choice but to agree and simply let Xie Mingxu come to his home. Kang Yan would also come over soon to discuss work matters with him.

    While waiting for the two of them to come over, Meng Zitao checked Yu Weigang's pulse again: "The recovery is not bad, I will take another day of medicine today, and I will give you a new prescription tomorrow."

    "Isn't this medicine very good? Why do we need to change it again." Yu Weigang was a little confused.

    Meng Zitao replied: "The powerful medicine I prescribed for you can quickly replenish the source of your losses, but you can't take it all the time, otherwise you will wait for nosebleeds."

    Yu Weigang said quickly: "Forget it."

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Look at how afraid you are of death."

    Yu Weigang spread his hands: "I can't help it. I have a wife and children, so I can't take advantage of others."

    Meng Zitao laughed and said: "By the way, today is Friday. I have booked a flight to Xijing at noon to give acupuncture to a few patients. Let's meet in Shanghai tomorrow night. If you are worried about the source of the disease, you can stay in the hotel first.  When I get to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, we will deal with it together."

    "Okay, but are you in time?"

    Meng Zitao said: "It must be in time. It only takes more than two hours from Lingshi to Xijing. If there is enough time, I can finish the acupuncture today. Even if it is not enough, I can finish it tomorrow morning and take the afternoon flight to Shanghai."  City, you can still have dinner there.¡±

    Yu Weigang thought for a while: "Well, I'll just go to the Shanghai Stock Exchange tomorrow afternoon. If I can make it in time, I'll pick you up at the airport, and we'll go find Liu Woer to catch the autumn wind together."

    "whatever."

    The two of them were chatting casually for more than an hour when Kang Yan and Xie Mingxu came together.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Store, when I get to the Shanghai Stock Exchange we will deal with it together.  "
