Chapter 1050 Gu Tianyang returns the favor

There was a car parked outside the door, and Su Tao first sat in the back row, and then Gu Tianyang walked in.

Gu Tianyang's eyes fell on the medical box that Su Tao carried with him and said with a smile: "Your box is an antique. Even if it is not worth a lot of money, it is definitely worth collecting."

Su Tao explained with a smile: "The things passed down from ancestors. I didn't expect you to have any research on this?"

Gu Tianyang smiled modestly, "I like to study history. Although I have never seen anything similar, I can tell from the carving skills and the quaint quality of this kind. The few friends I have made appointments are all antique lovers. I can ask them to study the origin later."

Su Tao knew that Gu Tianyang was deliberately getting close to him and chatting. The medical box was indeed an antique, but with Gu Tianyang's wealth, he would not be greedy for his own meals.

When he came to Zuixian Pavilion Restaurant, Su Tao felt a special feeling as soon as he entered the door. This was not a place to eat, but a place where some elegant people gathered. There were folding fans, calligraphy, paintings, ancient books, and more importantly, not fakes, all of which were genuine, and the cheapest ornaments were valuable. Although his medical box was of great significance, it could only be considered medium here.

Su Taoqing couldn't help but think of Gu Yin, who was far away in the island country. The decoration of this restaurant was at least half the value of Gu Yin's collection room. However, Gu Yin's collection room was not shown to the outside world, and the restaurant was open to the outside world. It can be seen that the identity of this owner is at least at the same level as Gu Yin.

There were already three people sitting in the private room, and Gu Tianyang enthusiastically helped Su Tao recommend one by one.

Sitting in the center is the owner of this restaurant, named Liu Heng. The person on his right is Cao Dongyang, and the person on his left is Du Liushan.

Su Tao had some impression of Du Liushan. This person often participated in CCTV's "Huaxia Treasure Appraisal" program. As a special guest, he identified the authenticity of antiques and told the origin and hidden value of antiques. Although most of the programs were recorded and included content designated by the director, Du Liushan was very eloquent, very expressive, and often showed himself, which made the program more colorful.

In the final analysis, he really knows antiques very well and can improvise and tell new and unknown stories.

As for Cao Dongyang, Gu Tianyang did not introduce it too much, but Su Tao knew that being good friends with Gu Tianyang was absolutely amazing.

Liu Heng has a cheerful personality and requires such a personality to do business in the catering industry. He shook hands with Su Tao on his own initiative and said with a smile: "This is the famous Doctor Su. I didn't expect that he is so young, he is really a hero and a boy."

"Boss Liu, you are too proud!" Su Tao said with a humble smile, "I am just a young doctor and I can't be called a miracle doctor."

When Su Tao and Gu Tianyang sat down, Du Liushan poured Su Tao a cup of tea and asked with a smile: "There is one thing I want to confirm with you personally. It is said that you once at the home of Member Zhao, and through the shape and spirit of the calligraphy and painting, it was determined that the calligraphy and painting was actually not written by Member Zhao himself."

Su Tao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that such a secret matter would be known to them. According to the truth, Member Zhao had a special identity, and the time he treated him was a secret and would not be leaked.

When Du Liushan mentioned this, he also proved that they were clear-headed and had their own information channels in the high-level circles.

Su Tao smiled and said, "That time was a coincidence. If the copywriter of the calligraphy and painting were not seriously ill, I would not be able to see it."

Du Liushan patted his thigh gently and exclaimed: "This is a good story! There is such an allusion, in another century, the calligraphy and painting will definitely be priceless."

Su Tao was slightly stunned and then smiled. He kept saying three words from his business. From this detail, it can be seen that Du Liushan is extremely obsessed with the antique industry. No wonder he has become one of the few top experts in the antique appreciation industry.

Cao Dongyang's eyes kept on Su Tao's medical box.

Gu Tianyang smiled and said, "Old Cao, you seem to care a lot about this medical box!"

Cao Dongyang doesn't like to talk and has a more restrained personality. He nodded slightly.

Su Tao was free and easy, and took the medical box to Cao Dongyang and smiled and said, "It's not a treasure, please take a closer look."

Cao Dongyang was serious and slowly took out a magnifying glass from his pocket. He looked at the medical box without anyone, and soon became immersed in it. Gu Tianyang pulled Su Tao to the side and smiled and said, "Old Cao has this personality. He won't let go when he catches good things. He probably will have to study it for a long time. Let's have a meal first."

Liu Heng shook the bell, and after a moment, the waiter came in and walked in and took the food.

When Liu Heng saw Du Liushan and Cao Dongyang whispering to the medical box, he said, "Let them go, let's eat and chat."

Liu Heng is very talkative and has a wide range of connections. He also knows Su Tao, so he took the initiative to mention Song Sichen. He smiled and said, "Old Song is really a living god. He had a meal in a restaurant more than ten years ago. A patient suddenly had a heart attack. He recovered his skills and saved the patient in time. I came to the door to thank him in person afterwards, but Old Song did not take my money. I was still a little angry at the time. Later, I found out that Old Song never cared about these vulgar things."

Su Tao smiled and said, "Song Master is indeed respectable."

Gu Tianyang praised by the side: "Expert Su, your medical products are also very good."

Liu Heng smiled with a chance and said, "Otherwise, Brother Tianyang would not make such detailed arrangements for your affairs."

When Su Tao heard Liu Heng say this, he immediately felt a drumbeat in his heart and wondered if there was something special about today’s dinner?

Gu Tianyang deliberately kept it a secret and smiled: "Don't worry, it's a good thing!"

Su Tao was a little anxious inside. He hated being hidden from others the most, but on the surface he still pretended to be calm and composed.

After drinking three glasses of wine, Cao Dongyang's eyes finally left the medical box. An almost undetectable curve appeared on the corner of his mouth. He exclaimed: "This medical box is already a national treasure. It should be something left by the imperial doctor of the Tang Dynasty. It is actually maintained so well. What's even more surprising is that you just carry it with you and are not afraid of being stolen."

Su Tao quickly smiled and said, "Only you experts can see Mingtang. Who can understand the value of ordinary people? Most people think it is just a broken box."

Cao Dongyang shook his head, put the magnifying glass into his pocket, and sighed: "You still have to protect it. This is a national treasure!"

Du Liushan laughed, "Old Cao, don't you want to persuade Xiao Su to hand over this medical box to the country, right?"

Cao Dongyang glared at Du Liushan with anger and said angrily: "This is his personal belonging, how could I do that?"

Gu Tianyang approached Su Tao's ear and whispered: "Dongyang is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture, and is specifically responsible for the approval of the establishment of national museums. Gu Yin entrusted the Tiansheng Bronze Man of Song Dynasty that you brought back, and he will be responsible for the custody of the forefront."

Su Tao's eyes lit up, and then he understood the reason why Gu Tianyang set up a dinner today.

Cao Dongyang nodded to Su Tao and said softly: "I have read the project book for you to apply for the construction of a traditional Chinese medicine museum in Hanzhou. The plan is relatively rough and not detailed enough. I originally planned to reject it. After all, it is a national museum. It needs to improve information, and it needs a fixed museum address and exhibition rooms that meet the regulations, and a collection storage place; professional and technical personnel matching the scale and function; museum funding and stable source of operation funds; facilities, systems and emergency plans to ensure the personal safety of the audience, etc.."

Su Tao nodded quickly and said, "Minister Cao, what you said is that I am indeed not considering it carefully."

Liu Heng waved his hand beside him and laughed: "You, don't be fooled by Lao Cao. He is actually not such a stubborn person. As long as the plan is acceptable and turn a blind eye, you can sign it."

Cao Dongyang glared at Liu Heng, but was not very angry, and said, "Am I that casual?"

Su Tao knew that they were joking with each other, and Cao Dongyang was born with a bitter and deep face, giving people the illusion of seriousness.

Du Liushan smiled and said, "Okay, Tianyang is our brother. It is rare for him to ask you for help. You must give this face! Moreover, Xiao Su, at first glance, is a reliable person, and things cannot be wrong."

Cao Dongyang nodded and said to Su Tao in a serious tone: "The country has indeed been considering protecting traditional Chinese medicine culture in recent years. If you do this, it will be an extremely meaningful thing."

Su Tao quickly looked serious and promised: "Please rest assured Minister Cao, I will never let you down."

Cao Dongyang smiled, and his face instantly bloomed like a chrysanthemum. Su Tao thought to himself that Cao Dongyang liked to have a stern face. It was even more ugly than crying. However, judging by Su Tao's ability to identify people, Cao Dongyang is a rare and very upright official.

Next, the five people ate and chatted. What surprised Gu Tianyang was that although Su Tao was not old, he had a lot of goods in his stomach and had a variety of reading types. No matter what they communicated, Su Tao could say a few words and actually integrated into this small circle that outsiders could hardly integrate into.

Gu Tianyang sighed, no wonder Gu Yin attached so much importance to Su Tao, this is indeed a talent.

If an ordinary young man had a common conversation with these four people, there would definitely be a clear generation gap. The content they talked about was mainly based on interesting historical stories, and it was not a brief discussion. They were all about details found in historical books and some anecdotes of celebrities.

If you have just read a few historical books in a hurry and have no words, you will have to expose your old truth.

Su Tao talked about some unofficial history gossips, and it was so exciting that Du Liushan became deeply interested in Su Tao and wanted to regard him as a confidant for forgetting his age. These contents are all medical cases mentioned in the "Imperial Medicine Sutra" and have many proofs with the historical books circulating on the market, which is considered that Su Tao has taken advantage of.

Du Liushan made an appointment with Su Tao at the dinner table. If he had time to visit his tea shop, he would definitely entertain him well.

Du Liushan and Tong Zuoqing have similar status in the Yanjing circle, and both run teahouses and miraculous doctors. Therefore, in the Yanjing antique circle, there is a saying that "You must invite Master Du and Uncle Tong to have a small gathering for tea." It is said that Du and Tong are the two of them are best at talking and reconciling the atmosphere.

However, Du Liushan prefers to make friends with literati and scholars, while Tong Zuoqing never refuses all the people from all walks of life.

Su Tao knew that these three people gave him face so much today, thanks to Gu Tianyang's recommendation.
