The hutongs of Yanjing are already lively, especially after a few foreign young people suddenly broke in, it is even more lively, although it is almost noon, many people have already started cooking.

It is not uncommon for you to borrow some vinegar from me, and I go to your house to borrow some salt, and there are many people who are holding a crying child and commanding around a chessboard.

However, at this moment, they are still attracted by Johnson and others, and in this era, everyone's emotions towards foreigners are particularly complicated, envious, and wary......

Wu Jianye looked at these people, if they could hold on for more than 20 years and live here, then they didn't have to do anything, and they would all be at least multimillionaires......

The life of lying down to win is as simple as that.

"Everyone, this is it!" Chen Ming stopped in front of a large compound.

The Gaomen compound looks a little different from the small courtyard houses that I just passed by.

"There are seven families living here, one of the old gentlemen, who used to be the imperial chef of the previous dynasty, and this used to be his mansion, but then it was decentralized and renovated because of historical problems, and he just came back two years ago and the government gave him a place to live. Chen Ming introduced to everyone.

After listening to Wu Jianye's translation, Johnson and the others were also very excited, this old man turned out to be the imperial chef before, so he must have the royal treasure of the previous dynasty in his hand.

"Wu, you're doing a very good job, I like it very much!" Johnson said, patting Wu Jianye's shoulder.

Wu Jianye smiled: "We Chinese people have always been hospitable, Johnson, you should get used to this!"

"Haha, where's the old gentleman?" asked Johnson, with some eagerness.

At this time, Zhao Lei walked out with a hesitant look on his face. Next to him was an old man with a somewhat nervous expression, looking a little withered, holding a cane, and he didn't look energetic.

"Mr. Wu, although Old Man Liu was the imperial chef of the previous dynasty, after that period of time, the antiques he originally hid have long been gone!" Zhao Lei said.

Although he couldn't understand Zhao Lei's words, looking at his appearance, Johnson's heart still trembled, and he asked eagerly: "Wu, what's wrong?"

Wu Jianye said without changing his face: "This old man does have some royal treasures from the previous dynasty in his hands, but he wants to keep them in his hands to maintain his value, but you don't have to worry, I will do this work, and you will act according to my eyes for a while!"

"Okay, good, Wu, please this time!" Johnson said sincerely.

"Are you all friends?" said Wu Jianye with a righteous mind.

Johnson and others were very moved......

"This little brother, there are really no antiques in the hands of the little old man, otherwise he would have taken it to the friendship store for money a long time ago!" said the old man Liu tremblingly.

Wu Jianye first showed a reassuring smile to Johnson, and then said to Old Man Liu with a pleasant face: "Old man, you don't have to be nervous, it doesn't matter if you don't have antiques, as long as you have some things that look very old in your hands!"

Zhao Lei asked suspiciously: "Mr. Wu, very old objects are useless, and they are not antiques!"

However, after listening to Wu Jianye's words, Old Man Liu's cloudy eyes suddenly revealed a hint of shrewdness, "What does little brother mean?"

Wu Jianye looked at Old Man Liu's expression, and knew that he understood what he meant, "It's good that the old man understands himself!"

Then Old Man Liu showed a look of embarrassment: "There are old objects, but if they find them, it will be troublesome." ”

Although Old Man Liu understood Wu Jianye's meaning, but in the current period, he had just been released back for less than two years, and he was born with a fear of foreigners, so he said: "I'm afraid the consequences of this will be inappropriate, right?"

"What are you worried about, these people will go back to the United States tomorrow, even if they know the truth of the matter, they are thousands of miles away in the United States, and they can still fly over to find you!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Old Man Liu's eyes lit up, but he still asked with some skepticism, "Really?"

"Really!" Wu Jianye said firmly.

Old man Liu gently hoeed the ground with his crutches and said, "That little old man really has a few things here, but one of them is not so easy to say!"

Wu Jianye was also a little curious, and asked, "What is it?"

Old man Liu leaned into Wu Jianye's ear and whispered, "Night pot!"

Wu Jianye's eyes lit up and said, "Is it smelly?"

"It's heavy!" Old man Liu was a little embarrassed, obviously this was what he had been using......

"Youwei is not afraid, in this case, you take out a few of them first, as for that thing. Wu Jianye thought for a while and said to Zhao Lei: "Zhao Lei, you go in with the old man, help the old man clean a treasure, and when the taste is gone, you can take it out!"

There was a very quiet conversation with Wu Jianye and Old Man Liu, especially the part discussed later, so Zhao Lei didn't hear Wu Jianye's conversation, but he really couldn't think of any treasures, and it would be delicious, could it be a jar of pickled vegetables, but that thing can't be considered an antique, right?

But just now he had already listened to Chen Ming, just now they had exchanged a thousand dollars in foreign exchange coupons, this is a big business they have never had, and now he can be said to be obedient to Wu Jianye.

So he immediately said: "Mr. Wu, don't worry!"

After speaking, the old and the young walked back to the courtyard again.

Seeing that Old Man Liu had returned to the courtyard, Johnson immediately asked, "Wu, how are things going?" ”

Wu Jianye wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Fortunately, this old man really has a few treasures hidden in his hands, and he didn't want to take them out at first, but I said that you would pay a high price, so he took them out!"

"Haha, I'll just say, money is everything, who can refuse the temptation of money!" Johnson looked delighted.

"Wu, if I really get any treasure this time, your reward will definitely not be less!"

"Don't be happy yet, I heard the old man say just now, he still has a real treasure in his hand, and when his ordinary treasures are taken out, you don't have to be stingy with the money in your hand, I hope this can impress this old man and let him take out the real treasure!" Wu Jianye said.

"I understand, I understand!" Johnson nodded again and again, only feeling that he was so lucky today: "Wu, can you reveal what kind of treasure it is?"

Wu Jianye looked left and right, and then whispered: "I heard that it was a vessel for the emperor of the previous dynasty to hold wine, you know that as long as these antiques are related to the royal family, then their value will immediately multiply several times!"

"Haha, I understand!" Johnson rubbed his palms, looking excited.

The trip was really worth it.

After a while, the old man came out with two scrolls and a porcelain bowl.

The old man secretly gave Wu Jianye a reassuring look, and said: "This is the green pine picture of Zheng Xie of the previous dynasty, this is the Yuehua picture of Jin Nong of the previous dynasty, and this porcelain bowl is the folk kiln of the Qianlong period of the previous dynasty!"

Wu Jianye translated Old Man Liu's words to Johnson, and Johnson immediately carefully took these three 'treasures' in Old Man Liu's arms and watched them carefully.

Wu Jianye showed a look of surprise: "Johnson, your luck is really good, Zheng Xie, Jin Nong and the other six masters, collectively known as the Eight Monsters of Yangzhou in the former dynasty, are well-known great painters!

"Really?" Johnson asked.

"Of course, you can check their information after you go back!" Wu Jianye said seriously.

"Okay, you tell this old gentleman that I want these three treasures, and ask him how much they are. ”

Then Wu Jianye and Old Man Liu began to bargain, mainly to buy time for Zhao Lei, who was a little confused......

Ten minutes later.

"Johnson, these three treasures, 900 yuan, in fact, you can lower the price again, but in order to let the old man take out that treasure, let's not dwell on these details!" Wu Jianye said.

"Yes, let the old gentleman take out that treasure, and tell him that money is not a problem!"
