After a beautiful sleep, Li Du got up and received a call from Hans, asking him to deal with the boxes and the half roll of raw cowhide.

Running to Hannah's small apartment, Li Du was surprised: "You got up so early today?

Hans said angrily: "I was almost mad, Hannah is so unrespectful, this stupid girl is dressed like that, does she think she is a girl in the red light district?"

Li Du comforted him and said: "Hannah is not a little girl anymore, she has social experience, and she and Smith are still classmates, more than you." ”

Hans said stupidly, "Deal with the inventory first, I have to think about Hannah's business." ”

Small boxes are easier to handle, and grocery stores love this kind of classic, crafted wooden box that looks like a work of art.

After Boss Kevin saw the wooden box, he took it in his hand and watched and stroked it repeatedly, and then sniffed it again, and said: "Good thing, at least two hundred years old Nanmu box, look at the style, this is what George III of England is a thing." ”

There are some roses and stripes of a castle on the lid, but the texture is faint and not very noticeable.

"Is this an antique?" said Hans's eyes.

George III was the ruler of England in the 18th century, reigning from 1760 to 1820.

On the ruler's eighteenth birthday, George II rewarded him with a stay in the magnificent St. James's Palace, and the castle stripes on the box outline the front of St. James's Palace, which is also the key to judging the chest.

At that time, when the warehouse was auctioned, many people saw that the box was a bit antique, but because they couldn't see the stripes on it clearly, let alone distinguish its material, no one took risks because of the box.

Boss Kevin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Kid, it's not something that is old, it's an antique, you go to Rocky Mountain and find a random stone, it's something tens of thousands of years ago." ”

Hans said, "And what about the value of this box?"

Kevin stroked the box and said, "Its texture is the fragrant nan of nanmu, this kind of wood is more precious, so it increases the value of the box, I guess it can be sold for a thousand yuan." ”

Li Du asked curiously, "How can you tell that it is Xiangnan?"

He and Hans had studied the wood, but could not find out exactly what it was.

Kevin put it in the sunlight at the door and said: "Look carefully, the color of the wooden board is slightly purple, the texture is beautiful, and if you smell it again, you can smell a unique fragrance, which is the characteristic of Xiangnan." ”

Hans said, "A thousand at most?"

Kevin shook his head and said, "No, I can sell it for up to 1,000 yuan, not that I can sell 1,000 yuan, if I am asked to bid, then I am only willing to give you 500 yuan." ”

Hans shouted, "Don't be too greedy, old man. ”

Kevin said helplessly: "This kind of box is not easy to sell, and I may smash it in my hand if I buy it, so I can't take too much risk." ”

Li Du said: "Then we won't sell it to you, maybe you know that we Chinese are full of interest in Nanmu, if we contact the big guys among the Chinese, we can sell it for a higher price." ”

Listening to his words, Kevin smiled: "Man, you are right, the Chinese like Nanmu, but they like Jinsi Nan instead of Xiangnan." Well, for your parents' sake, Hans, I'll give you six hundred dollars for this box. ”

"A two-hundred-year-old Nanmu box can only be sold for six hundred yuan?!" Hans said dissatisfiedly.

Kevin said: "This box has no craftsmanship, it is not a work of art! Even if it is 400 years old, it is not worth much, if there are more statues or portraits on it, you will have no problem asking for 60,000 yuan!"

The two looked at each other, and Hans insisted, "Six hundred and fifty dollars!"

In fact, they had asked for prices in other stores before, and the grocery store with the highest bid was willing to give them 500 yuan.

Kevin waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, just buy Hannah candy for change, six hundred and fifty yuan." ”

He took out his wallet and prepared some money, but Hans smiled and stopped, "Don't worry. ”

Li Du also laughed, and the two moved down from the carriage, Kevin looked at the pile of boxes in a daze, and gasped: "You two bastards, so many boxes? The price of six hundred and fifty yuan is not right." ”

"Why not?"

Kevin said, "Don't you know that the rarer the antique, the more valuable it is?

Hans smiled slyly, "I'm sorry, but something that isn't old counts as an antique. This is a furniture box, the more quantity the more valuable, this is a set. ”

Kevin shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Today I capsized in the gutter." ”

Of the twenty-five wooden boxes, they sold them for sixteen thousand five hundred, and the income alone made the two of them very happy.

Because the money was an unexpected income, they didn't realize that the wooden box would be so valuable at the time.

Of course, the other treasure pickers didn't realize it, otherwise even if they couldn't see the antique clock, the treasure pickers would go crazy about it.

They sold the raw cowhide to a leather goods shop and exchanged it for 500 yuan, which made up exactly 17,000 yuan.

The rest is to dispose of antique clocks, but this thing needs to be appraised by an expert and cannot be sold hastily.

The two discussed it for a while and decided not to sell it yet, but to put it on the Internet to test the waters.

After making this decision, Li Du thought that Hans was going to drink flower wine again, but this was not the case, and he went to a supermarket and filled two large carts.

Looking at the toys, candy, laundry detergent, bread snacks, DVD discs and other things inside, Li Du was confused: "What are you doing here?"

Hans said, "Go and visit some people." ”

The two trolleys cost him a total of 2,500 yuan, mainly because some children's milk powder and elderly nutrition products in them were relatively expensive.

Loading these things into the car, the broken pickup truck drove the two to the southern outskirts of the city.

The southern part of Flagpole City is more desolate, but the scenery is beautiful, and there are some small cottages or sanatoriums hidden inside, and they finally stop at the door of a welfare home.

The orphanage, called 'Mesa's Mother's House', covers an area of more than 2,000 square meters, and has two self-built small buildings, surrounded by a fence wall, and several children play at the door.

Seeing Hans's pickup truck, these children immediately stood up happily and waved to them: "Brother Fu, Brother Fu, Brother Fu is here!"

Hans jumped out of the car, picked up a little black girl, and laughed: "Hi Sally, beautiful little princess, are you waiting for your knight?"

The little girl said, "Yes, Boss Fu, are you my knight?"

Hans took a model sword from the carriage and handed it to her, saying, "Sally, you are your own knight, and lo and behold, I have brought you the Frost Sorrow of the Prince of Arthas, and I have given it to you." ”

The little girl was very excited to see this model sword with a stylish shape, and she couldn't put it down after getting it.

The other children gathered around, and Hans took out some toys and snacks and handed them to them one by one:

"Warrend, this is your favorite KFC fried chicken thigh, you can eat enough today. ”

"Kante, don't look for it, I know what you want, a Lamborghini sports car, right? It's a Lamborghini ghost, be careful, it's fast, and of course it consumes a lot of power. ”

"Victoria, your manga, I bought the latest One Piece, you're going to love it. ”
