Chapter 270 Is his vision so high?
Guan Yue was very patient. He chatted with Li Yi for more than half an hour about his experience in identifying Ming and Qing porcelain. He also showed him more than ten pieces of his own collection, as if they were really exchanging collections.
Li Yi was not in a hurry and chatted casually, just to pass the time.
But what he didn't know was that the chat for more than half an hour gave everyone present a huge shock.
Since meeting Li Yi for the first time a month ago, Cai Yi has always believed that Li Yi is just a lucky boy. Putting the Wanshou Boundless Bowl in his hand is tantamount to a pearl being covered in dust and a waste of natural resources.
But when talking to Guan Yue about the collection and looking at the collection, Li Yi's understanding of the cultural relic collection was no less than that of professional researchers like them.
Even for some areas that were controversial in their opinion, Li Yi was able to give conclusive answers.
Just now, when Guan Yue took out a copper stove from the Xuande period, Li Yi directly said that it was a replica made during the Qianlong period.
But that copper furnace was personally identified by Cai Yi, and it was the real red copper Xuande furnace.
Cai Yi and Li Yi argued for a while, but Li Yi called out the casting officer responsible for casting these Xuande furnaces, and pointed out that the furnace ears of these Xuande furnaces had slight flaws in the molds when they were cast.
The finished product has a small feather-like texture that is difficult to detect.
After Cai Yi checked it, he found the feather-like pattern Li Yi mentioned.
This made Cai Yi a little doubtful about life. He even felt that all the things he had studied for half a lifetime seemed to be in vain.
Geng Wanhua was also shocked. What surprised him was Li Yi's extensive knowledge.
The dozen or so collections that Guan Yue took out included more than a dozen different types of cultural relics, including porcelain, calligraphy and painting, copper stoves, jade carvings, goldware, palace blankets, lacquerware, etc.
But Li Yi can talk a few words about each cultural relic, and he can also talk about it meaningfully, and the dating is very accurate.
Especially those pieces of gold, palace rugs and lacquerware from the palace. Not only could he accurately tell the exact age, but he could even tell which concubine these items were given to.
With this vision alone, many old experts who have studied in the industry for a lifetime may not be able to do it.
This was also what surprised Guan Yue. He took out these collections just to test Li Yi's eyesight.
From Guan Xue's description, he did not feel that Li Yi was a person with a deep understanding of cultural relics.
If you really knew something, you wouldn't treat such a precious bowl as an ordinary utensil.
But through the small talk just now, he discovered that Li Yi not only knew a lot about cultural relics, but was even more professional than experts like Geng Wanhua and Cai Yi.
After discovering this, he became even more puzzled.
Since Li Yi knows these cultural relics so well, he must know the value they contain.
But why is Li Yi's attitude towards them so indifferent?
Even the Xuande stove imitated during the Qianlong period was worth at least several million, but Li Yi directly knocked it with cigar cutters just to hear the sound.
As for the red lacquered wooden box from the Qing Dynasty, Li Yi held it in his hand as if he were holding an ordinary takeout box, without paying any attention to it.
This made Guan Yue somewhat incomprehensible.
These things are worth tens of millions at least. Why do they seem worthless in Li Yi's eyes?
Is his vision so high?
However, what they don't know is that in Li Yi's opinion, these objects from the Ming and Qing Dynasties have no sense of cultural relics at all.
In the dream space, these are the objects he uses daily. The materials and workmanship may be slightly inferior, but they are tools he often uses every day.
Therefore, he couldn't pay much attention to this kind of thing.
It felt like he met a collector three hundred years in the future and showed him a precious collection - the first batch of Xiaomi Mi 6 ceramic black mobile phones.
No matter how much the collector told him how valuable this collection would be in three hundred years, in his opinion, it was just an ordinary mobile phone.
After the first round of testing, Guan Yue's understanding of Li Yi deepened a lot.
So, he started the second round.
The nanny at home has already prepared the meal and brought it to the round table in the dining room.
When Guan Yue saw this, he greeted with a smile: "The meal is ready, let's eat! Let's chat while we eat."
With that said, he came to the dining table with the help of everyone.
Seeing that Li Yi was about to sit down, he hurriedly waved and greeted warmly: "Xiao Li, come and sit here with me."
With that said, he arranged for Li Yi to be the guest of honor on his right.
Li Yi sat down and looked at the dishes on the table. There were six dishes in total.
A steamed sea bass, a dish of Longjing shrimp, a bowl of crabmeal and tofu, a plate of stuffed pork with mushrooms, a portion of garlic asparagus, and a pot of Wenzhengshan bamboo shoots.
"Some home-cooked meals are not as good as your craftsmanship, but they are all fresh."
Guan Yue greeted with a smile: "Try this bamboo shoot, it is a dish from my hometown."
Li Yi nodded: "Ask Zhengshan Bamboo Shoots, good stuff."
"Eh? You know?"
Guan Yue was a little surprised, but then he reacted and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, you are a chef, and you are a professional in cooking."
Li Yi smiled, raised his hand to fill a bowl of mountain bamboo shoot soup, took a sip, and then praised: "The bamboo shoots are good, they can already reach the tribute level."
Wenzheng mountain bamboo shoots are one of the essential ingredients for Hui cuisine. They are produced in Wenzheng Mountain in Huizhou. Because of the unique sandy soil in the area, the mountain bamboo shoots that grow have thin shells, thick flesh, and delicious taste. They were listed as a must-have in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Royal tribute.
This nanny is obviously a local from Huizhou. The mountain bamboo shoots cooked are very authentic, stewed with bacon and mushrooms, and the taste is very delicious.
"As long as you like to eat it."
Guan Yue smiled and continued to greet: "Try this seabass again."
Li Yi was not polite and tasted several dishes in turn.
As long as the seabass is fresh enough, it won't taste bad no matter how you prepare it.
But the salt under the nanny is a little bit bland, and you can taste a little fishy smell.
This should be for Guan Yue's health, so we didn't add so much salt.
As for the other dishes, the taste is slightly worse.
The crab powder tofu was overcooked and there was too much crab powder, making it taste a little greasy.
The garlic asparagus and shiitake mushroom stuffed pork were just average, nothing outstanding, but still edible.
As for the Longjing shrimp, it was much worse. It had too much thickening and tasted too sticky and not refreshing enough.
But Li Yilai didn't come here just to eat. After taking a few bites, he put down his chopsticks.
Seeing him put down his chopsticks, Guan Yue greeted him again, but Li Yi said he was full.
Seeing this, Guan Yue stopped talking in circles, put down his chopsticks, and got to the point.
"Xiao Li, I heard that you are planning to try to reproduce the Wanshou Boundless Bowl set yourself?"
Hearing him mention business, Cai Yi and others immediately cheered up, put down their chopsticks, and looked at Li Yi, waiting for Li Yi's answer.
Li Yi glanced at Guan Yue, then looked around, then smiled and said, "That's right."
