Every day is one step closer to reality

Feng Yi just thought that this guy was playing the piano like he was cutting a chicken, and he was deliberately playing tricks on him.

However, by analyzing the emotional information molecules emitted from the other party, Feng Yi discovered:

This person is really intoxicated. He is almost immersed in his own world when playing the piano.

Pleasure is also true pleasure, the kind of joy that comes from the heart and surrounds the whole body.

But in this room, as an audience, Feng Yi only felt torture!

This Mr. Zou probably has a tuner installed in his ear, and the sound of his erhu playing is automatically perfected in his ears, so he has no clue about his piano playing skills! !

Feng Yi was sitting on the wooden bench, his expression slightly dull, thinking about how to express it more tactfully, when he saw Mr. Zou in the wheelchair in front of him had already changed his piano and was about to start.

Feng Yi got excited, his body swayed, and the wooden stool made a "click" sound.

Feng Yi quickly stood up.

Mr. Zou also heard the clatter of the wooden bench. When he turned his eyes, he saw the cracks in the wooden bench.

Mr. Zou himself was stunned. He had no idea that his wooden bench would be so fragile. Has the time limit expired?

"Maybe it's a little old and not strong enough. There's a stool over there that you can move over. I just bought it last year," said Mr. Zou.

Feng Yi glanced at the stool pointed by Mr. Zou, but did not go to get it.

Of course he himself knew what happened to the cracked stool he sat on just now.

Just now, my feet were dangling in the air, and my whole weight was pressing on the wooden bench. The wooden bench could not bear the weight of more than 300 kilograms. It was okay to sit on it, but it would not work in a moment.

Having already broken someone else's stool, Feng Yi was embarrassed to break another one. Moreover, if the second one is also cracked like this, Mr. Zou will definitely suspect him.

But you can't just stand there. The client is in a wheelchair. He stands and looks down, asking the client to keep raising his head to talk. This is disrespectful.

Feng Yi glanced around and landed on an object in the corner.

"Can I sit there?" Feng Yi said, pointing to the corner.

Mr. Zou turned his wheelchair and looked over. There was a wooden pier in the corner.

This wooden pier is quite old and was passed down from his grandfather.

Nowadays, the requirements for felling are very strict. This kind of wooden pier is rare to see, but the control is not as strict as that of python skin. Moreover, when his grandfather bought this wooden pier, he only spent about 200 yuan. The wood was not very good, and the collection value was not great.

But the wooden pier was left by my grandfather after all, so Mr. Zou kept it and took care of it.

This wooden pier is the same as the erhu in his hand. Although it is a collection, it is also practical.

only……

This wooden pier is wide and thick enough, but too short. He usually uses that wooden pier to place things as a display stand.

"Is the wooden pier too short?" Mr. Zou said.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just sit here. I really like this wooden pier." Feng Yi said.

Strong enough!

It can bear his weight of more than 300 kilograms!

When you sit on it, you can put your feet in the air and swing it around as you like!

Feng Yi carried the wooden pillar over and sat on it.

Since Feng Yi said so, Zou Fan stopped trying to persuade him. Just watching the scene of Feng Yi sitting on it is like watching an adult sitting on a children's stool. Isn't it tiring with the legs bent like this?

Regardless of Feng Yi's appraisal ability, the visitor is a guest, and it is too rude to treat the guest like this.

Like bullying.

He wouldn't treat a stranger like this, not to mention that this person was introduced by Lu Yue.

He, Zou Fan, wouldn't even let his guests sit down on a stool.

"How about I call my assistant to bring a stool up? He's in the study downstairs," Mr. Zou said.

"No, no, no, let's continue." Feng Yi said.

After quickly identifying him, he went back to swimming. I rented a swimming pool for a month, so I had to hurry up and train.

Seeing that Feng Yi didn't look reluctant, Mr. Zou withdrew his attention, holding his second erhu to prepare for the start.

It could be seen that Mr. Zhou's interest was still very high, but Feng Yi endured it and interrupted before the other party was about to start playing the piano.

Pull it again and be tortured again?

No matter how many times you listen to it, you won’t know if your ears will be irritated or mutated!

"Mr. Zou, please wait a moment. To save your time, I can tell you my identification results now."

Under Mr. Zou's surprised gaze, Feng Yi continued, "I'm different from you, Mr. Zou. I have limited talent, don't know the music, and don't know the pros and cons. You can understand music by listening, but I'm different. I rely on music appraisal." material.

"I can only identify it from the leather. As for the wood part and other details, I don't understand. So I can only identify the leather, not the wood, so I can't accurately identify its price."

After listening, Mr. Zou nodded slowly and agreed with Feng Yi's statement, "Indeed, laymen like you can't tell their merits from their timbres.

Putting down the erhu in his hand with some reluctance, Mr. Zou said: "Okay, then you can tell me about the difference in their leather materials."

Feng Yi looked serious: "The leather materials used for these five pianos from left to right are Medusa 7th generation leather, 6th generation, 6th generation, unknown materials, and... sheepskin."

Mr. Zou looked at the five harps, then at Feng Yi, burst out laughing, and looked in surprise.

"You are really like Lu Yue said, you can tell what kind of skin it is at a glance!"

Although Feng Yi did not have any certification from an authoritative organization, his ability to identify leather was truly unparalleled. At least among the people Zou Fan had ever met, Feng Yi ranked first.

Worthy of such a high remuneration!

In this case...

"You come with me."

Zou Fan controlled the wheelchair and came to an inconspicuous door in the collection room.

After opening it, Feng Yi saw the collection inside.

Those placed outside can be seen by outsiders, while those placed inside the darkroom are generally not shown to outsiders. Some important objects are placed inside.

Zou Fan took out a long box inside, put on gloves, opened it, and took out the erhu in the box.

"This is it."

Feng Yi looked at the piano.

He couldn't identify the wood, nor could he tell its age from the details, but the leather on the piano told Feng Yi too much information.

Thinking of Lu Yue's reminder, Feng Yi thought about how to organize his words and express them more tactfully.

Zou Fan glanced at Feng Yi, as if he could see what Feng Yi was thinking, and said with a smile: "Just tell me."

Feng Yi took a deep breath and said, "The skin of this piano doesn't look real."

After speaking, Feng Yi observed Zhou Fan's face and found that the big man's expression did not change, but nodded calmly.

Feng Yi used his super-sensitive sense of smell to analyze the odor information in the air that represented changes in emotions.

There is no change.

This person was as calm on the inside as on the outside, and there was not much fluctuation in his heart.

Feng Yi raised his eyebrows.

This is different from what Lu Yue said!

Either Mr. Zhou didn't value the piano as much as he said, or the development of the situation had been under the control of Mr. Zou, so he was in no hurry.

Judging from Mr. Zou's expression when he talked about the erhu just now and his obsession with playing the piano, the possibility of the former is very small. This guy really likes the erhu, so he must also care about that piano.

If it was the second situation, since everything was already under his control, why did he still call himself here for appraisal?

Feng Yi had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask. Just use money to do things, don't be overly curious.

"What is leather?" Zou Fan asked.

"Medusa Seventh Generation." Feng Yi replied.

"Seven generations of leather, that means it hasn't been copied for a long time."

Zou Fan called the assistant downstairs to come up and hand him the piano.

"Send it for appraisal, expedite it, and accept the damage appraisal. Call the police after the results come out."

"yes."

The assistant didn't ask a word, didn't even show an extra expression, took the piano, put it in the box, and left with the box.

Feng Yi wondered if he had completed today's task? How satisfied is this customer? Should I be paid?

Just as he was about to give a reminder, he heard Zou Fan ask: "I heard Lu Yue mentioned that you followed the scientific expedition team into the mountains and forests for two months some time ago?"

Feng Yi didn't understand why Zou Fan would ask this, but he still replied: "Yes, I have been inspecting the Nanchong Reserve for two months."

There is nothing to hide, you can find out if you go and check.

"The main targets of your inspection are snakes?"

"Yes. Mr. Zou is interested in this?"

"I have been paying attention to the news in this area. I have also read the news about the scientific expedition team of Nan Chong Reserve this time. Your Nan 6 team discovered more snakes this time than before."

"It's just that we were lucky this time. Generally speaking, the number of snakes in Nan Chong Reserve is still small." Feng Yi replied.

This time it was because Feng Yi was following the scientific expedition team and he could identify the smell of snakes, which increased the team's chances of discovering snakes.

Without Feng Yi, the number of snakes found by the South 6 team would have been about the same as in past years, except that Burmese pythons and king cobras might have been missed.

Zou Fan asked again: "Then do you think the strictest protection laws may be relaxed in the short term?"

"How short is the short term?" Feng Yi asked.

Zou Fan seemed to be calculating something, he thought for a moment and said: "40 years. Is it possible to relax it in 40 years?"

Feng Yi recalled the conversation between Professor Zhou and the others during the scientific expedition in Nan Chong Reserve.

"It's difficult." Feng Yi said.

There was obvious disappointment on Zou Fan's face.

When Feng Yi saw this, he thought of Zou Fan's previous words and deeds, and made a guess in his mind.

The atmosphere in the room became silent.

After a while, Zou Fan let out a long sigh, as if he was speaking to Feng Yi, but also as if he was sighing alone:

"When I was a child, I listened to an old man playing the erhu. The old man said that the erhu is a spiritual creature, an instrument that combines heaven and earth. It contains the spirituality of animals and plants. Every small change will affect its timbre..."

In Zou Fan's view, imitation leather is imitation leather and cannot replace real leather!

Even if the tones produced are very similar, there is no spirituality!

Feng Yi also heard it. This man has always been obsessed with making a python skin piano of his own when the strictest protection law is revoked or relaxed!

But there are too few wild pythons now, and the strictest protection law is still like a knife hanging above the warning line, slashing at anyone who tries to cross this line at any time.

The Federal Security Bureau is also keeping a close eye on poaching, smuggling and other cases.

As an ambitious and successful businessman, Zou Fan cannot have such black spots.

For example, when Lu Yue found out that he had been tricked and that the watch he was wearing and the wallet he was holding were made of real snakeskin, he didn't dare to let others know and could only deal with it secretly.

In this kind of environment, no matter what you think in your heart, you can't be stained by such black spots!

Like that kind of erhu made of wild old python skin, if you lose one, you will lose one.

I don’t know what will happen in the future, but at this stage, it is unlikely that there will be any wild old python skin erhu in the short term. Even if there is, it is not dared to be put on the table, and there is no record of its existence.

It is precisely because of this that those old python skin erhus made decades ago, which have no practical value and can only be used as handicraft collections, are sold at such high prices on the black market. In addition to their own wood and leather which are difficult to copy now, there are also some added values, such as the erhu once used by well-known artists, the added value is definitely higher.

Therefore, if the erhu left by Mr. Zou is put on the black market, the price will definitely not be low.

However, seeing how calm Zou Fan was, it was obvious that he already knew the whereabouts of the piano. Calling Feng Yi over might just be a formality to show to outsiders. There's a good chance that piano won't end up on the black market.

Feng Yi admired Zou Fan for quickly adjusting his emotions and breaking away from the regret and sigh.

"You have such a good attitude." Feng Yi said.

Zou Fan smiled calmly and said, "I have been in business for 20 years and have experienced many ups and downs. Life cannot be absolutely perfect. There are joys and regrets, so just be open-minded. Moreover, playing the piano can cultivate one's moral character and bring peace of mind."

Feng Yi didn't reach this state of mind when he first learned the piano from his teacher, so he still admired people who cultivated their nature with the piano.

Like the Mr. Zou in front of me, he has the temperament of a big boss. His appearance remains unchanged despite the collapse of the mountain, and he settles everything while talking and laughing.

Of course, one has to ignore his piano skills.

Putting aside his piano skills, this guy still had a very bossy temperament, and Lu Yue still underestimated him.

"Feng Yi, how big is the largest python you have ever seen in the wild?" Zou Fan asked.

"In the wild?"

"Well, not the ones in the zoo."

"In the wild, it's the five-meter-long Burmese python that I caught with the scientific expedition team in the Nanchong Reserve this year," Feng Yi said.

"Five meters..."

Zou Fan said, then opened his darkroom and took out something from a safe.

"This was left to me by my grandfather. Back then he said he would make me a piano, and the python skin was ready. Unfortunately, when it was about to be made, the strictest protection laws were introduced and the control was extremely strict. The master who made the piano did not dare to take it. So it’s been put on hold.”

Zou Fan unfolded the python skin.

"It's also a wild python skin of about 5 meters, but it will stretch a bit after the skin is made. When the python was alive, it probably wasn't as big as you mentioned. What do you think of this skin? How does it compare with today's python skins?"

Looking at the unfolded python skin, Zou Fan had memories in his eyes.

Feng Yi's face froze.

"this……"

Zou Fan came back to his senses and said with a faint smile, "Don't get me wrong. This python skin was obtained before the strictest protection law was introduced. It has been certified and will not be traded."

Feng Yi still remained silent.

Zou Fan thought of something and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have shown you this!"

Most people who can follow the scientific expedition team into the mountains and forests have a strong awareness of the protection of wild animals, and they will be disgusted when they suddenly see these.

Zou Fanben just wanted Feng Yi to take a look. After all, wild python skins are different from wild python skins. They lived in different eras and living environments, so there must be differences in the cortex.

It was a pity that such a good python skin was not suitable for making a piano if it had been kept for too long. He kept it just as a thought. An obsession.

Zou Fan carefully rolled up the python skin and said, "I'm really sorry. I just wanted to ask about the difference between the previous python skin and the current python skin. I didn't consider your feelings."

Feng Yi was confused: "...but the skin is fake."

Zou Fan paused while rolling the python skin.

"What did you say?"

"This skin is not real python skin." Feng Yi said seriously.

The air seemed to freeze instantly.

After a while.

"Mr. Zou! Mr. Zou, what's wrong with you!"

Feng Yi rushed out and shouted outside:

"Hey! Downstairs!! Your boss fainted!!!"
