"Uh...... What's so embarrassing about that? ”

Li Yu's face turned a little red, he didn't expect that he would be so wolfish and eat like this in front of a stranger, it was really a bit disappointing. It wasn't that he hadn't been hungry before, but this time he was so hungry that he lost his self-control.

"It's okay, it's a good thing that young people can eat." The old man smiled and said, "Little brother, I don't think you didn't eat lunch, didn't you even eat breakfast?" ”

"Hehe, the old gentleman is really like a torch." Li Yu replied vaguely, and he said in his heart, if I sue you that I haven't eaten for 380 years, will you still be so calm?

After eating the pastry, Li Yu was relieved, and his face was full of brilliance, no longer the way he looked like he was just now. The guy in the teahouse brought the freshly brewed tea, and the old man personally poured a cup for Li Yu, and Li Yu hurriedly saluted and thanked him. When his stomach was full, Li Yu seemed much calmer.

"I haven't consulted the old gentleman yet." Li Yu said, after eating other people's things, you have to know who the other party is, isn't this how the chat started?

The old man said, "My name is Gao Shixin." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Gao." Li Yu nodded, muttering in his heart, this old man only signed up for words, not to mention the origin, maybe he is a household name, but it is a pity that he does not have the slightest understanding of this era, and he can't ask if he wants to, so he can only pretend to be stupid.

After seeing that he reported his name, Li Yu did not have any abnormal expression, and Gao Shixin also muttered in his heart. His name is naturally nothing to ordinary people, but for those who are engaged in antique collection, at least in the territory of Yuhai City, how can they not have heard of it? If you want to say that the young man in front of you is not a collector, I just heard him have a conversation with the stall owner Sun Shan, but he is clearly clear about this business. Could it be that this is a connoisseur who has just arrived from out of town?

"Looking at the outfit of the little brother, it seems to be a Taoist disciple?" Gao Shixin asked tentatively. In fact, Li Yu's clothes are far from Taoism, but he has a bun on his head, and his clothes are also in the style of the Ming Dynasty, which is in the eyes of modern people, and can only be guessed by Taoists.

Li Yu said: "I am not an authentic disciple of Taoism...... However, when I was a child, my family sent me to Guanli, but I have always studied with the master of the Taoist sect. No, I just came down the mountain on the order of my master, and I have a lot of incomprehension about the world. ”

"What's your name?" Gao Shixin asked.

"The junior's name is Li Yu." Li Yu replied.

"Plum fish? Which fish? Gao Shixin asked.

"It's stupid, stupid." Li Yu said.

"It should be a fool of great wisdom and foolishness." Gao Shixin smiled, "This name, presumably not given by your parents, sounds a bit Taoist." ”

"Exactly." Li Yu replied to Gao Shixin's words. He was originally an orphan who was picked up by Han Zhi from the side of the road, and the name Li Yu was also taken by Han Zhi. When Han Zhi gave him this name, he did have the idea of being clumsy and wise. Gao Shixin was able to guess the true meaning of the name at once, and it can be seen that he is also a person with great wisdom.

The two chatted for a while, and Gao Shixin pulled the conversation back to the bracelet and said, "The bracelet you showed to the stall owner just now, can you let me see it?" I just glanced at the side and didn't see it too clearly. ”

"Mr. Gao, please take a look." Li Yu took out the bracelet, handed it to Gao Shixin, and said.

Gao Shixin took the bracelet, took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, and began to look at it. His real identity is a professor of history at Yuhai University and vice chairman of the Yuhai Cultural Relics Association. Sun Shan was able to see that the bracelet was made of pure gold and was exquisitely made, but Gao Shixin was able to see the craftsmanship used from some subtleties, and then judged whether it was a real antique or a counterfeit of today's people.

When he saw the word "Ruliang" that Li Yu said before, Gao Shixin put down the magnifying glass, looked at Li Yu, and asked: "Little brother, I heard you just say that this 'Ruliang' refers to Ding Ruliang, a famous craftsman in the Wanli period, I have never seen this name before, who did you listen to?" ”

"It's what my master said." Without blinking, Li Yu pushed the matter onto his non-existent Taoist master. Ding Ruliang's name was quite famous back then, after more than 300 years, people have not heard of it today, and it is not surprising. After all, the craftsmen of those days had no status, and few people would erect monuments for them.

"It's kind of interesting." Coats Xinxin thought it was true, judging from the craftsmanship of the bracelet, this is indeed an antique of the Ming Dynasty, which means that the name "Ruliang" should be true. If an ancient craftsman who has not been recorded in the literature can be verified, it will be a good story in the collecting world, and Gao Shixin is happy to do it.

"Which Taoist temple is your master from, and what should he call his Taoist name?" Gao Shixin asked.

Li Yu shook his head and said, "This is inconvenient for the juniors to reveal." My master is a hermit and does not like the world, so before he died, he told me not to reveal his name after I went down the mountain, and asked Mr. Gao to forgive me. ”

"Oh, it turns out that he has passed away...... Gao Shixin sighed, when people talk about this Cheng dù, it is inconvenient for him to ask any more, it seems that about this Ding Ruliang, he can only find other information as evidence.

"This bracelet is a relic left to you by your master?" Gao Shixin changed the question and asked Li Yu.

"Yes." Li Yu replied, since this is the most acceptable answer by others, why should he deny it?

"You're going to make a move?" Gao Shixin continued to ask. Previously, Li Yu had taken out this bracelet to ask Sun Shan for a price, obviously planning to sell it, so Gao Shixin's question was not abrupt.

Li Yu nodded and admitted.

"What price are you going to offer?" Coats New Road.

Li Yu shook his head and said, "Old man, I have lived with my master in the mountains since I was a child, and I don't even know what the money in the world looks like, so I don't know how much this treasure can be sold for. The old gentleman is well-informed, can you help the younger generation estimate the price? ”

"You mean, this is your first time out of the mountain?" Gao Shixin was a little surprised, what age is this, there are still people living in the mountains, almost 20 years old have not seen what money looks like, how can people believe it? However, compared to saying that Li Yu is a 400-year-old monster who came out of a cave, the former statement is at least more reasonable.

Li Yu nodded again, he decided to clear his identity from now on, he has lived in the deep mountain Taoist temple since he was a child, the master is a hermit, and he went out of the mountain for the first time, this statement is at least logically self-consistent, and his clothing, attire and language can also be consistent.

Gao Shixin accepted Li Yu's explanation, he turned his attention back to the bracelet, looked at it for a long time, and then said:

"To be honest, the gold bracelets of the Ming Dynasty are not rare, and they can't be sold at too high prices in the cultural toy market. But this bracelet of yours is very beautifully made, one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. The four dragons on the bracelet are made of such a thin gold thread filigree, if they are not stored properly, after hundreds of years, many patterns will be worn out, and you have no trace of wear, which can be called a fine product.

I haven't heard of Ding Ruliang, a famous craftsman in the Wanli period, and I don't know what price his works can sell for, so if you ask me to estimate the price, I really can't say it for a while. ”

"I understand." Li Yu said, "I want to ask, old man, are you interested in taking over?" ”

"Me?" Gao Shixin nodded and said, "Of course I'm interested." ”

"What price are you going to offer?" Li Yu said, "As long as the price you said is right, this bracelet will be given to you." ”

"Let me bid......" Gao Shixin hesitated, in his judgment, if this bracelet is auctioned, it may be able to fetch a high price of 1 million, but it may not even be sold for 100,000, after all, antiques are full of uncertainty. If he collects it himself, then it is not worth spending 1 million, and about 300,000 is an acceptable price. But if you say this, will the other party feel that he is disrespectful and wants to cheat a child's baby?

After thinking about it for a while, Gao Shixin decided to tell the truth, picking up leaks is a pleasant thing, but he didn't want the young man in front of him to be disdainful of his own temperament, he said: "If I come to collect it, I can only get 300,000 at most." If you don't think the price is right, I can help you contact an antique store, and I estimate that they can sell at least 500,000 yuan. ”

"200,000, it's yours." Li Yu did not hesitate to reduce the price of Coats' new offer by another 100,000. Compared with his expectations, Coats' new 300,000 yuan is already very kind, and he should be content. He can see that Gao Shixin should be a capable and influential person, and he is also quite decent, such a person is worthy of his own friendship.

Giving up a profit of 100,000 yuan seems like a huge amount of money to him who is still penniless, but Li Yu has no sense of reluctance. He knew that if he wanted to survive in this strange world without relatives, he had to rebuild his network. And the simplest and most effective way to build a relationship is to transfer benefits to others.

From ancient times to the present, a person who has not plucked a dime has been unable to achieve great things, and Li Yu knows this very well.
