    "Junior sister! Don't keep mentioning yesterday's whole crab feast. You've already eaten it. Can you just focus on the things?" Zhou Xia finally became impatient and looked at Su Xiaoru, who was still immersed in his thoughts and looking at the catalog information.  said loudly.

    "But, it's really delicious! The taste is first-class, senior brother, didn't you also praise it full of praise?" As soon as she talked about food, Su Xiaoru was full of strength, almost drooling.

    But then she became frustrated again, "It's a pity that it's too expensive. If I were to go there once a year, it would be good. And after yesterday's whole crab feast, I can't eat well these days. I'm worried!"  "

    "Isn't your ultimate goal to have such a big meal every day? It just motivates you. Learn the knowledge of appraisal now. Whether you become an appraiser in the future or pick up the leaks yourself, if you don't have a good skill, you want to do it every day.  It's absolutely impossible to eat such a big meal." Knowing that she was a big foodie, Zhou Xia took the opportunity to encourage her.

    "Even if someone like Senior Brother Zhou earns one million a year, it's still far from enough!" Su Xiaoru still seemed a little decadent. The temptation of delicious food was too great for her, and the sequelae were not small.

    "If you don't work hard, you won't be able to go there even once a year. Don't think about all the messy things. Quickly pack your mind and study hard for a while. I'm waiting for you to cook at noon! I think your cooking skills are not as good as those of a full-fledged cook."  The chef of the crab feast is bad, so I can eat with peace of mind." Zhou Xia was really speechless to her, this guy is really a typical good eater, last night, she and Xu Liuxin, two girls, despite their petite stature.  But the one who eats the most is also the happiest.  Xu Yaohui was really willing to eat. They ordered whatever they liked. In the end, almost no one spent more than one thousand on average.  Not to mention Su Xiaoru, a poor student.  For Zhou Xia, who has an annual salary of one million, it is unrealistic to eat like this every day.

    "Really? Hehe. Senior brother, let me tell you, my cooking skills haven't been fully demonstrated yet!" When it comes to food, Su Xiaoru feels a little bit unable to hold back her mouth. She is still very proud of her cooking skills.  confident.

    Zhou Xia deceived her with good words, and then continued talking.  Her IQ is on the decline, which is not a good sign.

    In the morning, Zhou Xia went to the ghost market alone and found nothing, although this was the norm.  It's not a waste of time. It can gain some experience and increase the sense of presence, but Zhou Xia still feels a little unhappy because he hasn't been able to get the real thing.

    No, in this moment, he asked Su Xiaoru to cheer up.  Study the auction catalog carefully.

    Seeing that her mood was still low, Zhou Xia encouraged her and said, "Xiaoru, you have to read this auction catalog carefully. There may be opportunities to pick up items at low prices. You first bid on the things you like.  Okay. Let¡¯s go to the scene to see it. If it¡¯s the real thing and we can get it at a low price, we can work together to raise the sign. In this way, your feast will be secured. When the time comes, you can also invite Xin¡¯er  Let¡¯s eat together.¡±

    After Su Xiaoru heard this, her eyes shone brightly, she stared straight at Zhou Xia and said, "Brother, do you take what you say seriously?"

    "Have I ever failed to keep my words?" Zhou Xia asked her back.

    Su Xiaoru chuckled. She seemed to see countless hairy crabs in front of her, narrowed into a line, and her mouth was watering, "That's not true, it's just that I have no capital! I can't even pay the deposit for the auction.  Senior brother is generous and is willing to let me buy it with the partnership. I am so happy. Senior brother Zhou, you eat meat, so I will just drink some soup."

    "Then be serious now." Zhou Xia now feels that it is easy to abduct Su Xiaoru, but it is not so easy to raise her. It is estimated that the person who abducted her will regret it to death. With her here, there is no money.  The family's fortune would probably be depleted by her.  This also makes Zhou Xia feel that Alexander and Su Xiaoru are just delicious. If they are those who like to buy luxury goods, the cost will be even greater.  Not to mention someone like Liu Yuqing, who comes from a wealthy family and has no financial strength, so it's better not to climb high.

    Converting her desire for food into motivation, Su Xiaoru was very energetic when she started studying seriously.

    However, what made Zhou Xia laugh a little was that she actually researched those low-priced things first.

    Su Xiaoru naturally has her own plans. She doesn¡¯t have much money now, and she can¡¯t pay too high a price.  If it were those who easily made hundreds of thousands or millions, she would definitely not have a share.  If Zhou Xia pays 99,000 yuan and she pays 1,000 yuan, that would be meaningless. She wouldn't make much money and would be out of reach of having a big meal.

    Those items that start at a low price or are auctioned without a reserve price are the best places for her to invest.  She also thought beautifully that it would be perfect if she could spend two thousand yuan to buy Pan Tianshou's "Blue Stone Picture" like Zhou Xia and Xu Yaohui did yesterday and sell it for one hundred thousand yuan.

    After having such thoughts,??Xiaoru became more and more motivated, but unfortunately she didn't find anything of special value even after a whole morning.

    Then, she went to the kitchen to cook honestly. She bought a lot of vegetables yesterday. She followed Xu Yaohui and the others to have a crab feast in the evening, so she didn't have to go out to buy anymore that day.  Zhou Xia likes to eat the food she cooks, which gives her a great sense of accomplishment. She also thinks that even if she can't eat a big meal like a crab feast every day, it's actually not bad to do this every day.

    What¡¯s rare is that Zhou Xia also sighed the same way. He also thought the crab last night was good, but it¡¯s unrealistic to eat it every day!  This kind of home-cooked side dishes is more in line with his appetite. "If there are masters like my little junior sister cooking every day, I won't get tired of it no matter how much I eat."

    Su Xiaoru regarded his words as the best compliment for her cooking skills and said that she would make persistent efforts and continue to train her cooking skills.  Of course, she still didn't forget to say, "It would be best if every month, I could have a full crab feast like last night."

    Zhou Xia said that if she could persist, he would treat her to a big dinner next month.

    This made Su Xiaoru very happy, and she put a lot of delicious dishes into Zhou Xia's bowl one after another.

    Zhou Xia even snickered in her heart. Su Xiaoru, a specially hired chef, was too cheap. She didn¡¯t even need a salary and could only cook a big meal.

    After having a delicious lunch, Su Xiaoru did not take a break and continued to work hard with the auction catalog to search for high-quality and low-priced lots.  As long as it comes to delicious food, the energy bursting out of her petite body is so bright and colorful that people can't look at it.

    Zhou Xia continued his work unhurriedly. His main purpose was to find the authentic items in the autumn auctions of various auction companies and get started when the time comes.

    "Brother, guess what I found?"

    When Zhou Xiazheng was competing with the auction catalogue, "Eight Horses" by Xu Beihong, Su Xiaoru started shouting loudly.

    "Could it be that, little junior sister, you have found an incredible genuine product?" Zhou Xia guessed.

    "Hey, senior brother, you have to make your own judgment on this!" Su Xiaoru pushed the photo from the auction catalog she had just turned over and pointed it out to Zhou Xia.

    Zhou Xia saw that there was no estimate on it, so he asked, "It's an auction without reserve price!"

    "Yes, for us, auctioning things without a reserve price is the most suitable thing. Moreover, this auction company is located in Donghai, and it is not a particularly famous auction company. I think we have a good chance of buying it.  "Su Xiaoru's calculation was quite good.

    When Zhou Xia heard this, he immediately smiled and thought to himself, it would be great if it was as good as you said.

    He also looked carefully to see what the good thing was that made Su Xiaoru so excited and happy.

    It didn¡¯t matter to him at this glance, but after looking at it, he couldn¡¯t move his eyes away, and his heart was churning.

    This is an ancient painting.

    It was not framed and was auctioned together with another painting.

    It is still an auction without reserve price.

    Generally speaking, in this case, it will not be anything particularly good, and it is more likely to be a fake.  Even if it is genuine, the value will not be too high, otherwise, it will not be put into the auction without reserve price.  If it is something of high value and no one bids for it, or if it goes away at a low price, the seller will suffer a huge loss.

    But this painting is not the same as ordinary ancient paintings.

    Although there are not many collectors¡¯ bell seals on it, the inscription and content on this painting alone are enough to shock Zhou Xia.

    "Dwelling in the Forest in Lepu", a great painter of the Yuan Dynasty, was the last work of Ni Zan in his life.

    Anyone who has studied ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting works should know that this is a quite famous painting.

    It is said that it is famous because it is indeed a painting with exact records. In the "Chronicle of Ni Zan", there is a detailed description of his last work "Dwelling in the Lepu Forest".

    Fang Xun of the Qing Dynasty once mentioned in his book "On the Painting Theory of Residence in the Mountains" that Yunlin's "Residence in the Forest in the Lepu" has six frames, some are sparse and some are dense, and there is more than one frame.  The pen and ink are both dark and light, and it is clear that you have immortal bones in your body.

    Yang Xinzeng, the former deputy director of the Palace Museum and an expert in ancient calligraphy and painting appraisal, wrote a detailed article on "Dwelling in the Forest in the Lepu", pointing out that it was the last painting Ni Zan made during his lifetime, and it can be regarded as a masterpiece.

    ¡°However, there are very few people who have the chance to see the authenticity of this painting.  It can be said that in recent hundreds of years, few people have been able to see traces of it.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that such a painting would appear at an auction by such a little-known auction company.

    Is this a leak or a trap?

      For a moment, Zhou Xia couldn't figure it out.

    He only knows that if this painting is authentic, its value will definitely not be as simple as a symbolic one hundred yuan at auction without reserve price.  This is definitely the biggest ¡°leak¡± in this autumn auction.  Its true value, let alone one hundred and eighty thousand, is not worth millions, which is really not worthy of a name like Ni Zan's masterpiece.

    Su Xiaoru, who was seduced by the delicious food, has fully stimulated her potential. She was able to find such a painting from the miscellaneous documents auctioned without reserve price.
