Hong Tianbao left the shop, and the nephew of the village chief also began to close the door to avoid customers, and he also followed Hong Tianbao. Now Hong Tianbao is his God of Wealth, and he has to serve him well. Just now, this master didn't blink his eyes when he threw money at it, which shows how rich this young man from China is.

Seeing the children disperse, the old village chief sighed and said, "It's a pity! Not only can we not send them home, but we also can't give them a good way out. They can only look up to their great motherland in books, and they can only imagine a beautiful country in their dreams. Alas! ”

Seeing that his uncle was sad and sentimental again, the nephew of the old village chief said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry! Time will change everything. Aren't we going to build a road in the village? When the time comes, something will definitely change, and the child will not have to stay in the mountain nest for the rest of his life. ”

I saw the old village chief shaking his head and smiling bitterly, building the road is just a proposal from five Chinese villages, once it is implemented, how much will it cost? This is simply not something that their North China Village can afford. Looking forward to the construction of the political axe, it is impossible. Laos is a very backward country, and even the capital cannot keep up with the international trend, where can there be spare money to take care of these poor mountainous areas. And in Laos, there are many villages worse than their North China Village, so they can't turn their turn!

Hong Tianbao did not speak, quietly pondered, he had not been here for a long time, but he deeply understood the difficulties of the Chinese here. Just now the old village chief took him past the only school in the village, which was a long wooden house. According to the old village chief, there are more than 500 students here. You can finish primary school here, and you can get Huazhong Village more than 20 kilometers away from middle school. There are a lot of students here, but there are only five teachers, and the average score is according to the grades.

The old village chief also said just now that the annual income of each household in this village is actually only about 1,000. It's almost impossible to get rich on your own. And the country here is closed, it is difficult to attract investment, and there are no gold and silver deposits. Therefore, it will really take a long time to prosper, no wonder the old village chief sighs.

When he came to the old village chief's house, Hong Tianbao found that the old village chief's house was different from other houses. This is not a wooden house, but a very traditional old domestic building. There is also a courtyard inside, planted with a few trees, so that Hong Tianbao feels a sense of intimacy when he comes in.

There are also many members in the old village chief's family, which may have something to do with the environment here. Hong Tianbao found that it is normal to have four or five children in the family here, but if it is in China, the excess birth fee alone will ruin your family. The old village chief had three sons and two daughters, and now each son has three or four children, so this can be called a big family.

may be because he knows that Hong Tianbao is from China, and the people here are very enthusiastic. What made Hong Tianbao cry and laugh even more was that the nephew of the old village chief actually brought his eldest daughter over, and boasted that his child was a village flower or something, but Hong Tianbao still understood his intentions?

Of course, to be fair, his daughter is really good-looking. It is said that girls in Southeast Asia are more enthusiastic and unrestrained, but this girl is different, her face is shy, just like the famous ladies of ancient China.

Regarding his nephew's behavior, the old village chief also felt a knot of anger and glared at him fiercely. But for this nephew, he didn't have a problem. The loneliest part of the whole village is their family, and there are only three people. His father, that is, his eldest brother, died early, leaving his nephew as the only seedling, so the eldest brother passed on the position of patriarch to him.

Hong Tianbao looked carefully at the things around him, and he actually found a few antiques.

First of all, there is the porcelain Guanyin enshrined in the old village chief's house, which is a 30-centimeter-high bottle Guanyin. Also known as Guanyin Bodhisattva, many people are the most benevolent of all the Bodhisattvas.

There is also a wood carving, which is an eagle. It looks like it's hundreds of years old, and it should be an object from the Ming Dynasty. The wood used is precious Nanmu.

Nanmu is a very high-grade wood, its color is light orange and yellow, slightly gray, the texture is light and elegant and quiet, the texture is warm and soft, there is no shrinkage, and there are bursts of fragrance in the rain. The southern provinces are all produced, but Sichuan is the best. The Ming Dynasty court used a large number of felling. At present, the Yanjing Imperial Palace and the superior ancient buildings in the capital are mostly constructed of Nanmu. Nanmu is not rotten and does not moth the fragrance, the royal library, the gold lacquer throne, the interior decoration and so on are mostly made of Nanmu.

Finally, the jade wrench finger worn by the son of the old village elder is also more than 400 years old, and from the jade quality, Hong Tianbao guessed that this should be something worn by the ministers and magnates of the Qing Dynasty.

And Hong Tianbao looked at the expressions of these people and understood that they still didn't know the value of these things. Otherwise, these valuables must be hidden, and the old village chief has no need to sigh for the little money to build the road. You must know that the price of goods in Laos is relatively low, and it doesn't take too much money to build a road at all. As for the jade wrench, it is not very valuable, and the market price should be about three or four hundred thousand.

"Village chief, you have a lot of treasures here!" Hong Tianbao said deliberately.

"What's the treasure there, a bunch of rags, don't laugh at Tianbao!" The old village chief is not afraid of Hong Tianbao's jokes.

Hong Tianbao walked to the wood carving placed on the corner table and took it to look at it for a while.

"My father brought this thing, and I haven't been willing to throw it away." The old village chief said nostalgically.

Hong Tianbao suddenly asked, "Village chief, you used to be from Sichuan?" ”

The old village chief was taken aback, obviously sensitive to this word, and asked incredulously, "How do you know?" ”

Hong Tianbao smiled and said, "Guess, this thing is a treasure." Its material is the golden silk nanmu from Sichuan, which is a very precious wood. This thing will emit a burst of fragrance when it rains, and many people in China like it. ”

The old village chief secretly said that this is the case, it seems that he has underestimated this young man, and he can guess so many things from a small gadget. However, he was also born here and never returned to his homeland. It's just that when he was a child, his father told him that they were from Sichuan Province in China.

The nephew of the old village chief is really in business, and when he hears about the baby, he immediately thinks of the price. He immediately leaned over and asked, "Since this is a treasure, how much can it be worth!" If you like Tianbao, you can sell it to you, anyway, my uncle is useless. ”

The old village chief really wanted to drive this guy out, but this person's mind fell into the eyes of money, and he was a fan of money anyway. I can't do without money in three sentences or two, and I'm usually most afraid of dealing with this guy.

"Uh" Hong Tianbao touched his head, stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Are you sure you want to sell?" Hong Tianbao's eyes turned to the old village chief, if the other party was willing to sell this thing, of course he would be willing to take it. I just don't know if people are willing to sell it, and the old village chief also said just now, at this time, his father brought it over, and it has commemorative value, and he has not been willing to throw it away.

"Huh! Tianbao, you don't really want it, do you? The old village chief smiled awkwardly. To be honest, if the price is okay, it doesn't hurt to sell it, but if it's not worth it, then it might as well stay as a souvenir.

Before Hong Tianbao could speak, the nephew of the old village chief interjected again: "Uncle, don't we still have a treasure?" Take it out and show it to Tianbao, maybe he will like it or not. ”

The old village chief naturally knew the treasure that his nephew was talking about, pondered for a while, and then said, "It's okay! That set of treasures deserves to return to their homeland. When it was taken away by the devil, my father took it back with great difficulty, hoping that the treasure could return to his own country. ”

Hearing this, Hong Tianbao frowned slightly, thinking about the treasure in the old village chief's mouth. Even the devil took it away, which shows that it should not be an ordinary treasure.

"Village Chief, if you really want to sell this treasure, I can take it for three million, what do you think?" Hong Tianbao also gave the highest price, and this wood carving is generally about 2.8 million yuan in China.

As soon as Hong Tianbao's words came out, everyone present was stunned. In the middle of the ring, the nephew of the old village chief gouged out his ears and asked uncertainly, "You mean three million?" RMB, right? ”

Hong Tianbao nodded and said, "Not bad! This baby can generally be sold for about 2.8 million yuan in China, and it will be a little higher when you meet someone you like. ”

The old village chief's family fell into a deathly silence again, and at this time, his nephew suddenly said: "Sell, why don't you sell?" With three million, the road outside is no problem to Vientiane. ”

The old village chief also nodded subconsciously, no matter how precious things are, it is a lump in his house, but if it is replaced by substantial benefits and changes their North China Village, it will be different.

Hong Tianbao looked at the nephew of the old village chief with some surprise, this guy was a money fan in his impression. With such a large amount of money, it is not the first time to think about how to get a piece of the pie, but how to benefit everyone.

"Ahem! Tianbao, what else do you see? Cheaper for you. You don't have to guess who said that.

Hong Tianbao smiled, and he was not disgusted with such a small wealth fan.

"Hmmm! That porcelain Guanyin is a porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, which is more valuable than this wood carving, about four million! There is also the jade wrench finger in Uncle Bai's hand, which is a treasure worn by the ministers and magnates of the Qing Dynasty, but this thing has never been very valuable, and it is generally priced at about three or four hundred thousand yuan in China. "Hung Tianbao made a list of everything.

When the eldest son of the old village chief heard that he was carrying three or four hundred thousand yuan, he suddenly felt his fingers tighten. Looking at the wrench on his thumb incredulously, he never thought that the family token given by his father would be so valuable.

Everyone was a little embarrassed, the price given by Hong Tianbao made them dare not imagine, but the latter two things were not easy to sell. This bodhisattva is the deity they worship, and it is quite disrespectful to sell the deity, and the wrench finger is a family token, and it cannot be sold.

A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, for most of the day, the old village chief said: "Tianbao is embarrassed! This wood carving can be sold to you, but those two things are not easy to sell. ”

Hong Tianbao smiled faintly and expressed understanding.
