Explorer of Teyvat

Chapter 7 Artest

Looking at the crowds of diners, Wang Daoyi swallowed hard. It was so delicious. But after touching his pocket, Wang Daoyi turned his eyes away. After staying in the ruins for a month, he came out to Qian. Yanjun had a meal at the camp, then followed the caravan to Liyue and paid half a month's food expenses to the caravan. There was no Mora in his pocket now.

If he doesn't get rid of the antiques in his hands as soon as possible, he will be sleeping on the street tonight.

In the kitchen of Wanmintang, Xiang Ling was cooking in full swing. On the side, Master Mao was helping Xiang Ling do some work of plating and chopping vegetables.

As the little cook at Wanmintang, Xiangling's craftsmanship has been praised by most customers. As long as Xiangling is at Wanmintang, most customers will ask for Xiangling's dishes.

Master Mao seems to be happy about this. Perhaps his daughter's dishes are popular with customers, which makes Master Mao even more happy than his own dishes.

And why is it praised by the vast majority of people, but not by all.

Because the little chef often makes some weird dishes for regular customers and friends to taste. These weird dishes usually make it difficult for regular customers and friends to tell whether Xiang Ling is playing tricks on them or really testing new dishes.

After finishing a dish of boiled blackback seabass, he put the dish on the plate and handed it to Master Mao. He glanced outside Wanmin Hall to see how many guests there were. He happened to see a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old looking at him. He was drooling in the direction of Wanmin Hall, and looking at the troubled expression on the young man's pocket, he must have encountered difficulties.

Xiang Ling thought about it, but she didn't stop. She put another dish into the pot and turned her attention back to the stove.

When her hands were free, Xiang Ling looked in the direction of the boy again, only to find that the boy was no longer where he was.

"After you finish your work for a while, let's go out and have a look. If you don't have anything to eat, treat the other party to the latest cuisine you've researched!"

The thought flashed through my mind, and then I immersed myself in the new dish again.

Struggling to control his appetite, Wang Daoyi finally found the antique shop that Xing Xi said, and left from the entrance of Wanmin Hall. It was a small shop filled with goods, including porcelain, calligraphy and paintings. It looked more like antiques than Mingxingzhai. shop.

Artest was sitting in the shop, a little idle. In fact, he was very happy when the master asked him to guard the shop at first. After all, it was an easy job that only required showing off to passers-by. Although it was not a fat job, it was easy and effortless. , can also be called a beautiful job.

But this is undoubtedly a boring job. The master has not sent new treasures for a long time, and everyone around him knows that the things here will not be sold, and fewer and fewer people come to listen to his show off.

Sitting boredly in the shop day after day, Artest felt that his life was being wasted.

Suddenly, he saw a young man walking into the shop.

Well, he's new.

Artest's mood quickly became clear like a sky after rain.

"Hey! Come and take a look! Each of these is a rare treasure!"

Wang Daoyi knew that this man wanted to show off to him, but he did not interrupt him, but asked cooperatively:

"What do you have here?"

"Yo! If you're interested, I'll give you a good explanation -"

Immediately, Artest took a bottle from the container at the back.

"Take a look at this bottle first. Don't think it's of ordinary quality, but it's been a long time. This one is worth half of Chihuyan!"

Looking at Wang Daoyi's interested expression, Artai seemed to have found the original fun, and took out an incense burner and a teapot from the back,

"Look at this small incense burner. It is said that it has been worshiped in front of the statue of Lord Yan for thousands of years, and it has long been contaminated by the fairy wind!"

"And this teapot is the teapot that Prince Yan once used. It's unique..."

Watching Artest begin to introduce (show off) these antiques one after another, Wang Daoyi felt his stomach constantly sending out hunger signals.

I had to interrupt loudly.

"Brother, I know the value of these antiques, and I also know that you are displaying them for viewing. I came to you to sell antiques after being introduced by Miss Xing Xi from Mingxing Zhai."

"."

Artai looked unhappy when his spellcasting was interrupted, but when he heard that it was Miss Xingxi who introduced him, he reluctantly put on a smile again.

"Miss Xingxi introduced it, then come to the back room and see what kind of treasure it is!"

With that said, he led Wang Dao to the back room.

Arriving in the back room, Artest seemed to have adjusted his mentality, and his smile became more genuine.

"Take out your treasure and put it on this table. We can't do it!"

Artai pointed to a square table next to him and signaled Wang Daoyi to put the treasure on the square table instead of handing it to him directly.

Wang Dao nodded, this felt a bit like antique trading in his previous life.

He opened the treasure bag and took out two cups and a bone china bowl wrapped in cloth strips.

After thinking for a while, he put the cloth bag wrapped in the bone china bowl back into the treasure bag. He remembered that the information on the bone china bowl stated that the bone china bowl had some magical effects. It might be an extraordinary item. Maybe in the future. If you can use it, don't sell it.

Putting the three antiques on the table, he gently opened the wrapping strips, revealing two of the treasures.

The animal-headed agate cup is made of fine materials and cleverly carved using the beautiful texture of jade. The body of the cup is in the shape of a horned animal head, and the two horns of the animal are the handles of the cup. The mouth is inlaid with a gold cap, and the eyes, ears, and nose are all carved with fine precision.

The cup is inlaid with turquoise and dragon teeth. The height of the cup is 30.5 cm, the diameter is 11.2 cm, and the mouth wall thickness is 0.1 cm. The dentin is white jade color, and there seems to be blood flowing inside. The upper part has a thin open lip, and the middle part is slightly convergent. The lower part of the abdominal cavity has a round bottom, which is slightly smaller than the mouth. The cup body is inlaid with turquoise.

Artai could be appointed as the shopkeeper of the antique shop by his master, so he naturally had good taste. Looking at the two cups Wang Daoyi took out, his attention was instantly attracted.

"This is a treasure from Gui Liji. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk tsk, sauce red ground with orange and milky white agate, clear layers, appropriate shades, crystal clear and fresh, this is the best agate cup."

Slowly picking up the animal-headed agate cup, Artai felt it gently.

"It is made with the round carving technique and has a vivid and beautiful shape. The cup is curved and looks like a lying animal head. It has a natural feeling. This is a rare treasure!"

Reluctantly putting down the animal-headed agate cup, Artest looked at the turquoise-embedded dragon tooth cup next to him. Compared to the gorgeous agate cup, the dragon tooth cup seemed a bit ordinary. However, Artest did not underestimate it. With his With my sharp eyesight, I could tell at first glance that the material of this cup looked a bit like dragon teeth flowing out of Mondstadt Snow Mountain.

"The color is like jade, with blood inside, and it touches normal temperature. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, even if this is not a dragon's tooth, it is still a rare and exotic tooth."

Artest put down the dragon tooth cup and looked at the two treasures with a look of embarrassment. In front of these two treasures, the antique he just showed off seemed to be pretending to be lonely.

"Both of these are rare treasures. They may be priceless. I don't have the authority to set the price. If I want to trade such valuable treasures, I need to report them to the master, and at the same time I need to find a master to appraise them."

A trace of excitement appeared on Artest's face. He had not been so excited for a long time. If the master acquired these two treasures, then as the owner of an antique shop, he would not be able to appreciate these two treasures carefully.

"If the young gentleman decides to sell these two treasures, can I inform my master right away?"

"Now that I'm here, I naturally want to sell the treasure. It's just that the shopkeeper wants to invite your master. How long will it take to go back and forth?"

"Don't worry, little sir. Today, my master invites guest Zhongli from the Hall of Purity to drink tea and listen to books at Tian Tiezui. He is right next to him. Please wait a moment, little sir. I can call him back with just a cup of tea!"
