Chapter 008 It feels good to be rich!

In the antique industry, of course, the more friends the better. Chen Ran can see that Gao Qiang's road is very wide. If you make friends, you may be able to use it in the future. What's more, Zhou Jianyun dares to be so arrogant that he naturally has some strength in his hand. If the other party uses despicable means to deal with him, he can also make Gao coercion to balance. He.

On the other side, Gao Qiang also feels that Chen Ran is a friend. His eyes are vicious, and he can see Chen Ran's living conditions at a glance. Obviously, the more so, the more valuable it is.

"It's just 40,000, which is my friend!" Gao Qiang smiled at Chen Ran: "But I haven't had dinner yet. You have to treat me."

Although the money has not yet arrived, Chen Ran also has the confidence and nodded happily.

At the gate of the antique city, there is an industrial and commercial bank. Gao Qiang did not bring cash. The two transferred money directly. When transferring money, she was still the female saleswoman who despised Chen Ran. Now she naturally looks at it differently. In the antique city, 40,000 yuan is absolutely not much, but it also lets her know that this money is obtained at one time.

After the transfer, Chen Ran thought of inviting Gao Qiang to dinner for a while. He had just made a lot of money. Anyway, he couldn't be stingy, so he directly took 5,000 yuan.

Stepping out of the door of the bank, Chen Ran changed from being poor just now to 5,000 yuan in cash in his pocket and 35,000 yuan in his bank card.

This is the first time that Chen Ran has so much money!

The taste is indescribable...

At this moment, Chen Ran's mentality was also changing unconsciously. His whole body seemed to be so suddenly energetic. After going out, he couldn't help looking up and taking a deep breath.

Feeling the changes in his body, Chen Ran had to sigh gently in his heart. It's good to feel rich!

......

Chen Ran is not particular about eating, but if you want to invite Gao Qiang to dinner, this meal naturally can't be casual. Let the other party choose the place, and Gao Qiang is not polite. He took Chen Ran to the antique city...

In Chen Ran's memory, there seems to be no restaurant in the antique city except for a snack street, but since he asked Gao Qiang to choose a place, he didn't say much.

The two walked side by side, and Gao Qiang kept talking about interesting things about the antique industry to Chen Ran. Chen Ran nodded from time. When the two came to the innermost street of the antique city, the two sides had become very familiar. Although they were not brothers, Gao Qiang was also small and small, as if for many years Like a friend.

"Xiaoran, I will take you to a good place today, but when you get to the ground, you don't talk too much. The owner has a strange temper and provokes others, we can't eat this meal." When he walked to a row of shops full of tea, Gao Qiang stopped and told Chen Ran.

Although Chen Ran was puzzled, he didn't ask much. He just nodded. The antique industry was originally engaged in antiques. Chen Ran didn't know how much he had heard about it, but it was not surprising.

"See, you haven't been to this place. In fact, let me tell you that there are basically no good things in the stores outside this antique city in Zhongdu. Good things are all in these alleys." After walking more than ten meters, Gao Qiang pointed to one of the alleys and said to Chen Ran.

Chen Ran looked up and saw that there was a big red door hidden at the entrance of the alley, which was a little simple and felt like a big house door, and there was a word "2" in the middle of the top of the big red door. Looking at Gao Qiang getting in through the crack of the door, Chen Ran also followed.

After entering, I saw a very deep alley. Because the sky was getting dark, I couldn't see the end at a glance. The alley was not wide, but it was very high, like a wall on both sides. The wall was also an old wall. There was no decoration on it, not even a window or anything, except for a gate in each house. . And there are two big red lanterns hanging at the door of each house, emitting faint lights.

Walking in it, it is like walking in a deep palace mansion. If you come for the first time, you will undoubtedly be shocked by its atmosphere and simplicity. Chen Ran is no exception. Of course, Chen Ran can't see anything from the surface, which also makes Gao Qiang, who has been secretly observing Chen Ran take a high look.

There are many people on the street outside, but there is no one in the alley.

"This alley is No. 2 alley, No. 2 tea, No. 3 porcelain, No. 5 calligraphy and painting, and No. 7 stone." Gao Qiang introduced to Chen Ran as he walked. Chen Ran looked at the open doors on both sides. As expected, they were all tea sellers.

After walking more than 100 meters, there was a fork in the road. Gao Qiang took Chen Ran to turn left and entered another alley. This alley is not for selling things. It is full of people, and the houses seem to be quadrangle-style.

Chen Ran worked in the antique city for a year, but he didn't expect that there was such a place hidden in this antique city.

In one of the quarangle courtyards, there is no name. Even when you enter the yard, no one greets you. There is a light bulb hanging in the yard, and you can see that it is full of various vegetables and grapes.

Through the grape rack, there are three stone tables. At this moment, one of the stone tables is sitting with a set of purple sand tea sets on the table, which seems to be making tea.

The sitting man noticed that someone came in, so he raised his head, looked at Gao Qiang, and laughed: "Xiaoqiang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your grandfather is going to celebrate his birthday. Why are you still running here? But you are late today!"

Before he finished speaking, when he looked at Chen Ran, he was stunned. Then he nodded to Chen Ran and said with a smile, "Little brother, it's you!"

Chen Ran also nodded. The old man was the old man he met when he bought a ceramic jar yesterday. If he hadn't intervened and sold the strong old birthday star pendant, he should have been obtained by the old man.

Gao Qiang was surprised to know Chen Ran, but he didn't say anything. After sitting down at one of the stone tables, he smiled at the old man and said, "Mr. Bai, you are leisurely. I know that this time must be late, but this is my brother is here for the first time. He can't taste the flavors and eat chestnuts. The meal is also good.

Bai Lao glanced at Chen Ran, nodded with a smile, and lowered his head to make tea.

On this side, Gao Qiang also introduced the characteristics of this place to Chen Ran, but he is the chef of this family, that is, the owner, whose surname is Miao. Everyone calls him Master Miao. His family has been a chef for generations and has a very long history. If you want to trace it, it can be traced back to the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Kangxi period, an ancestor of the Miao family was brought into the palace by Kangxi, who had a private visit, and shined in the palace. Since then, the Miao family has become a royal chef family, and the children of the Miao family have entered the palace for generations.

It is said that Master Miao's grandfather also worked as a chef for Mr. *, but after Mr. *'s death, Master Miao's grandfather returned to his ancestral homeland, Central Plains, and lived in seclusion.

In the 1990s, Master Miao was looked at by an old general and invited to Yuquan Mountain in the capital.

Since the early days of liberation, Yuquan Mountain has always been an important residence for party and state leaders. Deng Gong, Liu Shuai and Ye Shuai have lived here for a long time. After many older revolutionaries retired, they basically rest here.

However, Master Miao seems to be injured for somehow, his right leg is lame, and then he returns to his ancestral home.

It is not easy to eat here. First of all, strangers are not accepted unless they are taken by acquaintances. In addition, Master Miao only cooks three dishes, osmanthus soup, braised pork trotters, and vinegared cabbage.

Three very ordinary dishes, but these three very ordinary dishes are scrambling to eat them. According to Gao Qiang, those collectors in the whole antique city basically eat here.

However, you can't eat it with money. First of all, you have to let Master Miao look good. In addition, Master Miao only cooks three times a day, and each person only has three opportunities a month. And people come, but they don't cook anymore. If you can't leave, just eat rice directly. Of course, this is also an opportunity.

The conditions are very harsh, but whether you like it or not, no one dares to play tricks here.

When Gao Qiang said to Chen Ran, Chen Ran saw an old man come out of the room. The old man was in his fifties, wearing a Zhongshan suit and a hat that almost covered his eyes. He was very clean, holding a tray in his hand, two porcelain bowls on the tray, and his legs were lame. He walked towards Gao Qiang and Chen Ran.

Gao Qiang, who whispered to Chen Ran, followed Chen Ran's eyes. Suddenly, it was as if the mouse had seen a cat-like silence, and his posture was also extremely correct. He also pulled Chen Ran below, signaling Chen Ran not to look at it randomly.

Chen Ran quickly looked down at the stone table.

With just a crack, the tray was placed on the stone table, and a hoarse voice came: "There is no food. Let's make do with it."

"Ha, Master Miao, I'm here to eat the chestnut rice you made." Gao Qiang smiled and picked up a bowl and put it in front of Chen Ran, and then picked up a bowl and put it in front of him. Then he pointed to Master Miao and said, "Master Miao, this is the brother I just met. If he comes in the future, please take good care of him."

Chen Ran raised his head and looked at Master Miao. Master Miao raised the brim of his hat with his right hand, revealing a pair of eyes, and also looked at Chen Ran. The two looked at each other. Chen Ran nodded and quickly lowered his head, while Master Miao was slightly stunned, frowned, silent for a moment, covered his eyes with the brim of his hat, and turned away with a lame leg.

"You taste this chestnut rice. After eating it, you will definitely never... never eat rice anywhere else." Gao Qiang greeted Chen Ran and couldn't wait to lower his head and pick it up in his mouth with chopsticks.

Chen Ran felt a little strange. He came here to eat a bowl of rice, but then he didn't think so. He didn't know how to make this chestnut rice. The taste was fragrant but not strong. When he ate it, it was not sweet at all, but he ate it slowly in his mouth, but his mouth was full of sweetness, although Gao Qiang said so exaggeratedly, but Chen Ran also felt that the trip was worthwhile.

With nothing to mention Master Miao's other three dishes, he only relies on chestnut rice. Chen Ran feels that if Master Miao opens a restaurant, he will be extremely popular.

Unconsciously, most of a bowl of rice was solved by Chen Ran, and at this time, suddenly there was another crack, and then the two people who lowered their heads listened: "There are still two pig's feet left. You two eat it."

When Chen Ran looked up, he only saw Master Miao's back... He turned his head and looked at Gao Qiang and found that Gao Qiang was stunned. He was looking at the two pig's feet on the table in surprise, and Bai Lao, who was sitting on the other side, also looked at Master Miao's back with a stunned face...
