175 Compared to me? (2 in 1)(1/2)
After the auction was over, all the guests who participated in the auction house had left. After Cang Yanshan gave the instructions, the jar of century-old wine was placed on the auction table waiting for inspection.
Originally, this is not in accordance with the rules, and the auction house has all the proof procedures. Since the customer participates in the auction, he agrees with these proofs. Even if there is evidence to prove that there is something wrong with the jar of ointment, it will be a matter of the future. There is no reason to check it on the spot.
But who is Cang Yanshan? Even if he suddenly turns his back on his face and wants to return the goods, the auction house dares not say anything, let alone just check it in advance.
Manager Wu, the auctioneer and several experts from the auction house were present. In fact, the experts were just a decoration in this kind of occasion. These were second- and third-rate figures in the antique cultural relics circle. Even the giant banners and landscapes before were slapped, let alone identification of wine.
The jar used to hold the ointment is really from the official kiln. Although it is just a mass-produced utensil, it has a delicate body and excellent sealing properties. If you change to the flower carving jar commonly used in yellow wine, a hundred years have passed, and the remaining ointment can be more than the bee poop of the two little bees, it will be thankful.
Moreover, the sealing of this wine jar is also given. Three layers of red silk are used as bones. Every layer of red silk is sealed with wax, and three layers of wax seals are continuously sealed to ensure that the jar of wine can spend a hundred years underground. However, after a hundred years, the red silk has faded and the wax seal has turned into earthy yellow.
The system does not provide the skill of opening a wine jar, so Zhou Dong did not come forward first, but just stood quietly aside to see how the Chinese wine king Cang Yanshan, the Chinese wine king, was going to test wine.
Several experts also widened their eyes at the same time. This is an opportunity to open your eyes and gain knowledge, and that is something that must not be missed.
Cang Yanshan walked up to him and weighed the weight of the wine jar, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it should be Ma Shiqing's work. Otherwise, without such preservation conditions, there would be only one-third of this jar of century-old wine paste, and 2.6 million yuan is considered cheap!"
Hearing this, the auctioneer looked at Manager Wu with grievance, thinking that it was all your life-threatening urging, otherwise you might be able to get a higher price!
Yuan Zidan smiled and said, "Brother Cang wants to open the cauldron now?"
He is not an expert in wine. If he is asked to inspect it, he has to open it directly. After the inspection, he will find a way to transfer these wine into modern glass-sealed containers.
"No, I have my own way."
Cang Yanshan smiled slightly, took out a slender black leather bag from the inner pocket of his shirt, and took out two tools from it.
Zhou Dong walked closer and looked closely and saw a tool like a drill bit, but it was much thinner than an ordinary drill bit. The drill bit was also small and exquisite. There were two obviously 'flat wings' above the spiral drill bit. I was curious: "What is this?"
"This is a drill that specializes in opening the cauldron. Brother Zhou, look."
Cang Yanshan pressed a mechanism at the end of the handle with his hand, and then he heard a 'click' sound, and his two wings spread out immediately.
Zhou Dong suddenly realized that if this thing is enlarged dozens of times, isn’t it the hook and sickle gun in the novel? It’s just that the hook has been changed to wings, and it is a pair of wings.
This thing should be very convenient to use to break the seal. First drill a hole and tap the head out, then spread your wings and lift it up. The pair of wings is like two small pockets, which can prevent the wax seal from falling into the cream below.
Another tool is a thick silver needle, which is four or five times thicker than the silver needle used by ordinary doctors, and is much longer. After Cang Yanshan pressed the mechanism, more than a dozen small holes appeared in the "needle body" in the second half, and it can be seen that the second half is completely hollow.
Yuan Zidan sighed, "This is the legendary wine-taking needle? It's really a wonderful design, I'm afraid it's only in Brother Cang's hands."
Cang Yanshan nodded, his face showing a look. He first used a broken seal to drill a little bit and opened the wax seal and red silk, and then he penetrated the wine needle deep into the wine can through the broken hole.
He twisted the needle with two fingers and shook it with force. Seeing that the movement in his hand seemed to be small, the small hole that broke on the wine seal did not expand because of this. However, the half of the wine needle exposed outside kept vibrating. When it was the most intense, it actually made a "buzzing" low sound.
Zhou Dong suddenly felt aroused his heart, and he widened his eyes and looked at the broken seal needle in Cang Yanshan's hand and said, "Does Brother Cang want to use this wine needle to make this jar of wine 'activation'?"
"Well said it, Brother Zhou is indeed an expert.
Yes, this jar of oatmeal has been condensed into one after a hundred years. The wine is rigid and it is difficult to taste even if taken out. So I wanted to let the air enter and use the vibration of the wine needle to turn it into a paste-like body. Well, it's almost done now!"
After saying that, Cang Yanshan quickly lifted the wine picking needle, and at the same time, the auction house asked the people who had already prepared a little hole just opened with fresh wax, and then took a clean small bowl. Press and hold the mechanism on the wine picking needle, and suddenly a green color and the fragrant paste slowly flowed into the bowl from the hole at the end of the needle.
Cangyanshan took more than ten minutes to drip the paste from the wine needle. At this time, the century-old wine has laid a light layer on the bottom of the bowl. The small bowl of porcelain is as white as jade, while the wine is as green as green as green, like an artistic treasure.
Yuan Zidan sighed: "The cream is as green as green, and the wine is fragrant. This is the real ancient bamboo leaf green paste!
Only a master of imperial wine like Ma Shiqing, who is backed by the resources of the Qing Palace, can produce such a jar of century-old wine... "
Cang Yanshan glanced at him and smiled and said, "Old Yuan, can you be sure that this ointment is for a hundred years?"
"this......"
Yuan Zidan was stunned and said a little embarrassedly: "Judged by the color of the cream and the aroma of the wine, I can see this for at least fifty years."
His knowledge of alcohol is actually fifty years old, and it is difficult for Cang Yanshan to ask this question.
Cang Yanshan looked at Zhou Dong again: "Brother Zhou, what are you looking at?"
This is what it takes to test Zhou Dong.
In his opinion, how old is Zhou Dong? Even if he has masters or secret recipes passed down by ancestral masterpieces, he has the ability to make wine and has some understanding of wine, but he is absolutely incapable of judging a hundred-year-old wine paste.
Yuan Zidan is indeed an amateur. He actually found a young man to take care of him. Isn’t this a rush to seek medical treatment? It’s almost the same to find a wine brewing master of his own level.
Zhou Dong walked to the auction table, looked at the wine in the bowl carefully, looked at Cang Yanshan and said, "What do Brother Cang think?"
Cang Yanshan shook his head: "Brother, I'm asking you."
"Then I'll just say it, this is not a hundred years of wine..."
As soon as he said that, Manager Wu's face turned green and he hurriedly said, "Absolutely impossible! This was taken by descendants of the Ma family, so how could it be fake? You don't understand this little brother, don't talk nonsense!"
"I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you anxious?"
Zhou Dong said: "Brother Cang, can you use your wine needle?"
After taking the wine needle handed over by Cang Yanshan and protruding it into the wine bowl, Zhou Dong began to stir it slowly in a clockwise direction, and the paste turned as if it was a piece of jade, which looked very beautiful.
After turning for more than ten times, Zhou Dong suddenly took out the needle to take the wine. The ointment in the bowl stopped immediately while he was starting the needle, and turned back to the original appearance of the ancient well.
Cang Yanshan's eyes immediately condensed and he looked at Zhou Dong deeply.
"I did not make a mistake just now, 'If the object is used to rotate, and the ointment will stop instantly after the object is removed, it will be over a hundred years!"
Zhou Dong said lightly: "Brother Cang, am I right?"
"Nothing wrong." Cang Yanshan nodded and said, "But you just..."
"I just said that this jar is not a hundred years of wine, because it has been more than one hundred years, and at least one hundred and twenty years!"
Zhou Dong raised the needle to pick up the wine, so that the end of the needle was fully revealed under the light: "Do you see anything?"
Everyone came over and looked carefully at the end of the needle that was taken to get the wine needle, and immediately took a breath of cold air.
Cang Yanshan used this needle to get the wine paste just now, and it was obvious that there was a green wine paste dripping in the hollow wine needle; but Zhou Dong had stirred it in the wine bowl for a long time, but at this moment, the needle end was clean, and there was no drop of wine paste?
Cang Yanshan didn't say anything, but just sighed and gave Zhou Dong a thumbs up.
Several experts from the auction house looked straight and came over to ask: "What's going on with this little brother? Let's answer..."
"Just just now, Brother Cang took the wine paste, but he just let the wine paste be active, but he did not give it any strength. Therefore, although the wine paste is sticky, it can still enter the vacuum wine needle."
Zhou Dong handed the wine needle back to Cang Yanshan and continued: "I just rotated the wine paste clockwise, first slow and then fast, but in fact I was giving the wine paste. When the heat was almost done, I picked up the wine paste. The wine paste that had already been strong would stop moving immediately and would not be stuck on the wine paste.
‘Putting cream is like beating cake. Those who get the strength are for ten years, and those who get the strength are for twenty years…”
While repeating the information provided by the system, Zhou Dong said, "The paste was 'great', so I said that it has been at least 120 years."
"So that's the case, it's so amazing!"
"I've seen it for a long time, thank you little brother!"
Several old experts are happy and can show off on TV in the future. How can they be unhappy?
"Brother Zhou is amazing, I admire him."
Cang Yanshan smiled and said, "But I am too greedy and like to follow the truth. You just said that this jar of balm has been at least 120 years. It can be seen that it is not just this year, can it be more specific?"
Zhou Dong looked at the time: "Then we have to look at it!"
As he said that, he pointed to the burger in the bowl, and everyone followed him and saw that the burger that had just stopped just now suddenly turned counterclockwise for a half-turn, and then stopped completely.
Zhou Dong nodded to Cang Yanshan: "This will add another five years."
Cang Yanshan's heart suddenly sank. Among the people present, except Zhou Dong, only he could accurately judge the year of the jar of ointment, and he could also accurately determine the unit for five years. This judgment method is also a secret message from his master. How it still needs to be tested on site to know.
But who is he? He is the number one person in the Chinese wine industry and the head of the "Yujiu Room"!
What about them? They are the King of Chinese Faces...
Grandma, cross-border to your level, why don’t you be the king of cross-border singers?
Cang Yanshan felt so depressed. He laughed dryly and gave Manager Wu an address and asked him to send someone to deliver the ointment. However, after he took the "Water Talk" handed over by Manager Wu, he held the wine bowl and looked at Zhou Dong for a long time without saying anything.
Zhou Dong frowned and said that "Water Talk" belongs to me. What do you mean? Looking at me with a wine bowl, my eyes were very wrong. When some patients in the tea shed wanted to plot against doctors and nurses, many of them looked like this...
"Brother Zhou, my old councang keeps his word. This book "Water Talk" is of course yours, but..."
Cang Yanshan laughed and said, "This is a gift from friends. Since it is a gift, you have to express it, right? In this way, our brothers do not talk about money and interests, but only about feelings. As the saying goes, "Depend to have deep feelings, drink a few drinks"..."
Zhou Dong was stunned: "Brother Cang wants me to drink?"
“Hehe, smart!
Let me explain first, my old warehouse is not considered a consumption of public funds. Didn’t I take out such a little balm just now? I can’t put it back. It would be a pity if I wasted it. Let’s just drink it, right?”
Yuan Zidan's face turned dark when he heard this. There was only one tablespoon of the burger in this bowl, and it was a burger of 125 years! It is no exaggeration to say that two or three drops of this burger can blend it into a pound of high-alcohol! How many pounds of this burger can blend it into this burger?
Who doesn’t know that Cang Yanshan is the most powerful character in China, and can still run a half-marathon after drinking more than ten pounds of wine? How can Brother Zhou be able to drink you? You can’t cheat people so much, you’re not kinder than me!
He quickly winked at Zhou Dong, meaning that you must not agree, this is a sinkhole!
Zhou Dong called out the system panel and confirmed again.
‘God-level alcohol content! You don’t need to be the god at the wine table! After enjoying the enjoyment brought by fine wine, no matter how many degrees of wine will instantly transform into qi in your body and radiate from the pores throughout your body...
The only downside is that you won't be able to feel drunk."
"Uh, Brother Cang, do you have to drink?"
Zhou Dong was in a dilemma. He was a kind person and really didn't want to cheat others.
"Hahaha, a man is still afraid of drinking?"
To be continued...
