Chapter 294: The Outrageously Expensive Private Restaurant
"What kind of jewelry is this?"
Gu Jiu saw the second box that was opened. A jade artifact as big as a little finger was placed on the red velvet cloth.
The quality of the jade artifact is the same as that of the bracelet you just saw, and it looks like it is made from the same piece of jade.
"This is a hairpin. It has the same function as a hairpin, but it is the ancestor of hairpins and hairpins. It appeared earlier than hairpins and hairpins."
Another feature of the hairpin is that it is simpler in style than hairpins and hairpins, and the patterns are not as complicated.
If jadeite were not too precious, the hairpin would actually be a very practical hair accessory for bunting hair.
The box in the third compartment was opened, and there was no suspense inside, it was still a hair accessory.
A hairpin inlaid with many tiny green jadeites and hung with many tiny beads. It is very transparent under the light of the flashlight and very beautiful.
The fourth grid is a hairpin.
"This one is the same as the first two, but the style is a little different."
Gu Jiu had only seen his mother Wang Suzhen use a silver hairpin to tie her hair before, and he didn't know much about women's hair accessories. Now he can't tell the names of these hair accessories apart. To him, they are all the same.
"The one with a lot of tassels is called a buyao, and the one with two hairpins is called a hairpin. The hairpin is mainly used to fix the hair, while the buyao is mainly used as an embellishment." Lin Shu explained patiently.
Looking at the hair accessories that were also full of green, Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief. The blind box he opened today was so valuable.
Next came the jade pendants, the gold and jade necklaces, the earrings, and finally the very beautiful necklace.
The eight grids on the left contain eight types of jewelry, what are the eight grids on the right?
"What kinds of jewelry do you women have? These eight boxes are not jewelry, are they?" Gu Jiu held a child in each hand to prevent the brother and sister from making trouble.
"Ancient women had a lot of ornaments, they couldn't all be ornaments, right? How big a piece of jade would have to be to make so many pieces."
He started by groping for the mechanism in the first box, and slowly opened a few more boxes. Now Lin Shu was so skilled at it that it seemed as if these boxes were his own.
He pulled the box out of the grid and opened it with a push and a pull. The heavy weight surprised Lin Shu, but when the box opened, there was no surprise.
As she guessed, it was usually a small yellow croaker.
A box of small yellow croakers.
I poured them out and counted them. There were twelve pieces in total, each weighing 100 grams.
Lin Shu calmed down his excitement and said jokingly, "In Guangdong Province, I often hear them use a dozen to describe the quantity. Does this count as pulling out a dozen gold bars?"
When Erbao saw the glittering gold bars, he tried hard to break free from Gu Jiu's control and wanted to take these shiny "toys".
Lin Shu took a piece of small yellow croaker and handed it to Erbao, and then took another piece to Dabao, so that they could feel the heavy weight of gold.
Believe it or not, as soon as Erbao got the little yellow croaker, he held it tightly and refused to let go, grinning so hard that his saliva was flowing out.
Her love of money made the couple laugh.
"I guess these boxes below are filled with gold. What do you think they are?"
Lin Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not agree immediately. "I don't think so. After talking to the seller, he said that this was his grandmother's or great-grandmother's dowry. If so, it should be from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China. And the dowry of girls from wealthy families starts from childhood, so this thousand-work bed is most likely made in the late Qing Dynasty. You said it was already the early Republic of China, how could all the things hidden here be small yellow croakers?"
As expected, among the eight boxes on the right, six were filled with yellow croakers and two were filled with silver dollars.
Gu Jiu was so shocked that he became numb when he looked at the box that was put back. He said that there was no gain without hard work. He found out that he could find a bargain by buying so many old furniture. It was really an eye-opener.
"It is indeed an ancient capital. Let's not talk about the cultural heritage. Just take the original inhabitants who lived here as an example. You can pick any one of them and his ancestors might be high-ranking officials. The family heritage should not be underestimated."
Lin Shu restored the head of the bed to its original state, clapped his hands, and jumped off the bed. "Do you still dislike these old furniture now?"
Gu Jiu shook his head: "Don't say you dislike it. If you say you want to buy a few more things now, I will help you find a taxi right away."
Lin Shu couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He took Dabao from his hand, put Dabao on the ground, and walked out holding the little hand. "It's getting late. Let's go eat first."
I was able to find this Qiangong bed today thanks to the system's reminder. If it weren't for the system, who would have thought that there was a secret hidden in the Qiangong bed.
However, during this period in the capital, many antiques were not taken seriously and could be bought very cheaply in the flea market. If you had some spare money, you could collect more of them. In the future, you could basically live a worry-free life by selling one or two of them.
Of course, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but if you have a unique vision, it should not be difficult to make a fortune.
Having finally come to the capital this time, Lin Shu wanted to buy more antiques and select some more precious ones as heirlooms to pass on to his children.
Even if the children become so mediocre that they have to struggle to make a living in the future, one or two pieces of the collection will be enough for them to live a good life.
As the economy recovers, the capital is naturally at the forefront. Since the reform and opening up, many of the capital's formerly famous restaurants and hotels have reopened.
We have gained a lot today, so naturally we have to celebrate.
Gu Jiu took Lin Shu into a private restaurant hidden in Chaoyangmen Hutong.
The private restaurant is located in a three-courtyard courtyard, and its decoration style is a ready-made ancient style.
Coupled with the royal cuisine, some people would believe it was a royal banquet.
As soon as they entered the door, a waiter took them to an elegant restaurant. When Lin Shu looked at the menu, his eyes almost popped out.
Gu Jiu had been paying attention to Lin Shu's expression since she picked up the menu. Seeing her shocked look while trying hard to hide it, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Lin Shu raised his eyes and met Gu Jiu's teasing gaze. He coughed lightly and said, "How much did this kind of rat grouper cost when we ate it in the south last time? It seemed to be more than 30 yuan. Look at the price here."
As he spoke, Lin Shu held up the menu in front of Gu Jiu, and the number one hundred and twenty-eight was clearly written on it.
This is pure injustice.
Gu Jiu took a sip of tea and said, "This place is a little far from the seaside, and the cooking methods are different. Just order what you want to eat. Today is my treat."
Lin Shu naturally knew that this place was far from the seaside, and it wasn't that she was reluctant to eat, she was just simply sighing over the price.
She pretended not to hear him saying he would treat them all, because all he had was hers, not to mention the money.
"Red oil pork loin slices, black clams with sauce, stir-fried abalone and celery, and two desserts after the meal."
Gu Jiu nodded and looked at the waiter standing next to him: "Did you write it down?"
Lin Shu waited for the waiter to leave and drank a sip of tea to calm down. "I just roughly calculated that this table will cost more than 300 yuan, 80 yuan per person."
In the early 1980s, more than 300 yuan was the salary of an ordinary worker.
If you deduct daily expenses, it will take several years to save more than 300 yuan. You can imagine how outrageously expensive the food in this restaurant is.
"How do you know this restaurant?" A restaurant with such outrageous prices.
Gu Jiu glanced outside the door, then pretended to be mysterious and leaned close to Lin Shu's ear: "It's opened by a friend. His ancestors were royal chefs. Although the price is expensive, it's worth it. You'll know later."
