Chapter 569 Taibaiwa
Pu Jian said: "Why are you two chatting so happily?"
Wang Jinwu told about the sinking city under the water, and Pu Jian suddenly regained his energy when he heard it, and got up and lay down on the railing to look down. Unfortunately, the light was not good and he couldn't see anything.
Pu Jiandao: "Next time come over in a diving suit, let's go to the underwater sinking city to explore treasures, there must be a lot of good things inside."
Xu Chunliang said: "You'd better understand the matter of the winery first."
They chatted while admiring the scenery. The boat sailed for more than an hour, and they came to Taibaiwa without knowing it.
Taibaiwa is located at the northernmost end of Weishan Lake. It used to be called North Lake. Ten years ago, Jeju City renamed it Taibai Lake to commemorate the great poet Li Bai who lived there for more than 20 years.
Taibai Lake is adjacent to the Old Canal in the east and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the west, forming an ingenious pattern of two rivers embracing the lake. A bird's-eye view of Taibai Lake presents a magnificent landscape of two dragons playing with a pearl.
According to historical records, the great poet Li Bai lived in Jeju for 23 years, married a wife and had children, wrote poems and made friends, and spent the best time in his life.
One summer during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai stayed overnight at Jiangxin Temple in Huangmei Caishan. In a hotel at the east end of Xujia Street, after drinking eight bowls of wine in one breath, he spit out the wine while waving his pen in his drunken eyes, and wrote the famous poem "Overnight at Jiangxin Temple" on the wall of the hotel—a dangerous building A hundred feet high, the stars can be picked by hand. Don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of frightening the heavenly beings.
Xu Chunliang was very interested in this allusion, not because of the great poet Li Bai or because of this poem, but because Li Bai drank eight bowls of Xujia Street the next day, and did not know that this Xujia Street had something to do with their old Xu's family. There is no origin, according to grandfather, their old Xu family's ancestral home is also in southern Shandong.
They disembarked at Taibai Wharf. After disembarking, they saw a lot of promotional slogans, basically all about building a national-level resort. Jeju is better than Dongzhou in terms of humanities. In the area of Taebaekwa alone, they have made a lot of concepts.
Princess Wencheng grew up on the shore of Taibai Lake; poet Li Bai took a flat boat from outside the east gate of Rencheng and went down to the south of the river, and built a hut by the lake to enjoy poems with wine; poet Du Fu lingered in the waters of Taibai Lake and wrote There is a famous poem "when Lingshu is running, it is raining, and it is August in wilderness".
Zhu Yingtai, Hua Mulan, and Li Qingzhao also left well-known touching deeds on the shore of Taibai Lake. Fuxi Nuwa Temple, Kangfu Ancient City, Stone Buddha Temple, and Wanghai Hall are embedded in it, leaving precious historical relics for Taibai Lake. . Kangxi and Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River six times, and Taibai Lake made them linger.
Just looking at the introduction of Taibai Lake, Xu Chunliang realized that Dongzhou was lagging behind in the construction of cultural tourism. He said that Weishan Island has no other publicity points except Zhang Liang's tomb, which has no evidence.
Pu Jian said disapprovingly, "I don't believe it's all bragging. These people have all been to Jeju, and they said that Li Bai lived in Jeju for 23 years. What about his ID card? What about his household registration book? They even dragged Du Fu into it." gone."
Xu Chunliang said: "There are historical records that Li Bai and Du Fu met in Jeju."
Wang Jinwu called a taxi and took them to Qingshan Village. Qingshan Village was more than ten kilometers away from the pier and was located on a hillside.
The three got off the car at the entrance of the village and asked the driver to wait there. It is not easy to call a car in such a remote place, and the driver does not return empty.
Pu Jian first went to the small shop at the entrance of the village to buy some things, and inquired about Shi Taiping by the way.
There is indeed a man named Shi Taiping in Qingshan Village, but this person seldom returns to the village. He usually does business in the ancient city of Jeju. This time he didn’t even come back for the Chinese New Year.
The three of them came to the door of Shi Taiping's house and saw that the door was locked. Indeed, no one lived there for a long time.
Xu Chunliang wondered, at this time, Taiping left his address just to let someone contact him, but there was no one at home, so how could this be sung?
On the door, I saw a few small advertisements for the recycling of old home appliances. This kind of small advertisements are very common. I didn't think much about it. When I was about to leave, Xu Chunliang found that there was a duplicate phone number on it.
In other words, these small advertisements may come from the same gang, Xu Chunliang secretly wondered if this was a clue left by Shi Taiping on purpose?
According to the phone number on the small advertisement, I made a hands-free call.
After the phone rang twice, someone answered the phone: "Hello, who do you want?"
"Is the time peaceful?"
The other party said: "Is there something wrong?"
Xu Chunliang said: "The matter of the keel of Linzheng Hall."
There was silence for a while, and then asked: "How many people are there?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Three."
"I want to meet, alone, two hours later, at Hongxing Tea House on Xujia Street in the ancient city."
Xu Chunliang wanted to say something else, but the other party had already hung up the phone.
Wang Jinwu said: "Why do I feel that this guy looks like a thief."
Pu Jiandao: "There are a lot of shady people in this industry. Maybe they feel that they have treasures in their hands and worry that others will miss them. It's normal to be more careful."
Xu Chunliang said: "Then I will go back alone."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of traps, what would he dare to do in broad daylight?"
Wang Jinwu said: "I still want to eat fish in Beihu Fishing Village at noon."
Xu Chunliang asked the two of them to go first, and he went to meet Shi Taiping first, and went to find them immediately after finishing the business.
Hongxing Tea House is located on Xujia Street in the ancient city of Jeju. Most of the ancient buildings in the Jianghai area are similar, with blue bricks and gray tiles, simple and elegant. Simple nature.
There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the street, engraved with the origin of Xujia Street, Xu Chunliang looked at it for a while, but did not find any relationship with their old Xu family.
While going to Hongxing Tea House, Xu Chunliang passed a medical clinic in a high-end courtyard.
Xu Chunliang stopped in front of the medical center and there was also an introduction of Renhetang. From the above, we know that this is the headquarters of Renhetang. The founder Zhou Renhe reopened Renhetang here in the early 1980s. Renhetang has a history of more than 100 years. up.
Xu Chunliang cursed secretly in his heart, liar, Renhetang has been established for thirty-seven years, and it has been here for more than a hundred years, which is even longer than Huichuntang. Famous doctors of past dynasties, especially the two imperial physicians who entered the imperial palace to practice medicine.
In this era, the bold and the timid starve to death. As long as you dare to brag, no one will stop you. Xu Chunliang classified this introduction as a commercial soft article.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Chunliang didn't stop there.
In fact, this so-called ancient city was basically rebuilt later, and there were not many buildings left in the original.
Hongxing Tea House is one of the only remaining buildings.
The teahouses in the Jianghai area are also different from other places. There are not so many meticulous processes and red tapes. Drinking is a thirst-quenching experience.
Xu Chunliang sat down at table No. 9 on the second floor as agreed just now, and ordered a pot of jasmine. The waiter brought up a two-liter blue and white porcelain teapot, paired with two teacups, and four small dishes of snacks.
When the appointed time came, Taiping still hadn't appeared. Xu Chunliang poured a cup of tea and waited while drinking tea.
There are quite a few guests in the teahouse, most of them are locals, and they chat loudly in their hometown dialect. Lunan is also a place where heroes come forth in large numbers. Confucianism, Confucianism, and Mencius have appeared in this land, and there have also been heroes who fought tigers and went up the mountain. .
Five minutes passed, and at this time, a thin, middle-aged man stood up from the southwest corner, wearing a blue overalls that were old and not old, and a pigskin peaked cap. It's a bit too big, and it makes people look thinner.
He sat down opposite Xu Chunliang, smiled and said, "Are you looking for me?"
Xu Chunliang sized him up: "Shi Taiping?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's me." He stretched out his hand to Xu Chunliang.
Xu Chunliang shook hands with him, and found that his hands were clearly disproportionate to his figure. This guy was only a little over 1.6 meters tall, but his hands were about the same size as his own, and these hands had thick joints and calloused palms. Holding power, it looks like a Lianjiazi.
"What's the boss's name?" Shi Taiping had a cunning air about the stock market.
"My surname is Xu, and I came here to meet you on the commission of the third master Huang of Linzhengtang." Xu Chunliang said while taking out the rubbings he sent to Linzhengtang.
Shi Taiping took a look at the rubbings, nodded and said, "It's me."
Xu Chunliang said: "Is there any more in hand?"
Shi Taiping didn't answer his question, but smiled and said, "How much do you want?"
Xu Chunliang said without hesitation: "I want as much as you have."
When Shi Taiping heard his boldness, his small eyes became brighter and brighter.
Xu Chunliang said: "But it must be guaranteed that it belongs to the same series as this rubbing."
Shi Taiping lowered his voice and said: "Twenty million!"
Xu Chunliang said: "Money is not a problem, how much do you have?"
Shi Taiping made a gesture of seven, and Xu Chunliang said that you really dare to ask for it. Thinking back, Sun Changli only sold 16 million keels for 32 keels, and you asked for 20 million yuan for 7 keels, which is the average price for one keel. Three million, I don't know how many of the seven yuan are worth.
Although Xu Chunliang thought that Shi Taiping was dark enough, he did not bargain. Anyway, it is impossible for him to pay in the end.
"I want to see the goods first."
Shi Taiping took out a stack of rubbings prepared in advance, all of which were selected as part of the keel rubbings. This guy is also an old man who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years. The note written in advance was handed to Xu Chunliang: "Pay two million in advance, and the above is my account number. After the money arrives, I will contact you again."
Xu Chunliang looked at Shi Taiping: "Why should I trust you?"
