Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Elixir of Joy

In the afternoon, Yan Lao, Hong Tianbao and others entered the Nanjing Museum under the support of everyone. Sun Moba found a reason to walk out, he really couldn't stand the atmosphere and occasion.

This time, the practice in Nanjing is similar to that in Shanghai, which is divided into two groups. However, there is a small difference, this time Yan Lao specializes in appraising auction houses, while Hong Tianbao is appraising individuals. This approach is more fair and personalized, and it doesn't mean that people feel like they have a big auction business, so they have to make way for them.

Yan Lao and Hong Tianbao didn't talk nonsense, they immediately got to the point and began to identify meticulously.

In Hong Tianbao's group, the first person to be identified was an old man. The old man was about sixty or seventy years old, with black and white hair in a mess. The face is covered with vicissitudes, and the withered yellow skin is lined with countless wrinkles. A peasant's outfit is very conspicuous in this museum, and he is wearing a pair of white-washed liberation shoes under his feet.

Everyone was stunned, secretly surprised, thinking that Nanjing antiques would not develop to this extent, right? Even the peasants are playing with antiques? And looking at his appearance, it seems that he has just solved the problem of food and clothing, where can he have spare money to play in this industry where he can't eat enough and don't drink enough? I really don't understand this person.

"Old man, sit down first!" Expert Chen at the front opened his mouth and said, Expert Chen is only in his fifties, and in front of this old man with a vicissitudes of life, he naturally has to call the old man.

"Hey! Ay! The old man sat down in restraint, and then took out a large mass of cloth from his old backpack. Everyone looked at the past, including Hong Tianbao, this old man is really eye-catching. Everyone understands that the old man's treasure is wrapped in it.

I saw him peeling off the cloth layer by layer, and everyone smiled bitterly. This old man actually wrapped seven or eight layers for the baby, and when he took it out, it was the size of a kettle, but when he took off his clothes, it was only the size of a palm.

"Experts, this is a treasure that my family has hidden for nearly a hundred years, and I have treasured it since my grandfather's generation, please help me take a look." There was some pleading in the old Chinese tone.

At this time, everyone frowned again. Let's identify Zhu Fang this time, your object has been around for hundreds of years, and it's definitely not Zhu Fang! Still used for identification? Aren't you farting and asking for instructions, don't you have nothing to do?

Expert Chen reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said: "Old man, we are here to identify Zhu Fang, you said that this treasure is at least a hundred years old, it is definitely not Zhu Fang, so there is no need to identify it." "Expert Chen sweated in his heart, if a person is like you, as long as it is porcelain, we will not be able to keep it busy for a year. How much porcelain is there in this world, I'm afraid even Yan Lao doesn't dare to guarantee it, right?

The old man blushed, and then said anxiously: "Don't! I know you're identifying Zhu Fang. But I couldn't find it. This treasure was supposed to be kept, after all, it was left by the ancestors. A hint of nostalgia flashed across the old man's face.

He continued: "But life is forced to have too much helplessness. My grandson was admitted to Beijing University, and no matter what the price is, he has to be able to continue his studies. The old man's wrinkled face showed a hint of joy and determination.

Seeing that everyone was still looking at him, the old man spoke again: "You also know the cost of Jingcheng University!" We have been farmers for generations, how can we have so much money? So I was ready to sell this ancestor's thing, who knew that I went to a lot of pawn shops, and they all said that my thing was not worth much. Yesterday, I heard that there would be an expert here to do the appraisal, so I took the liberty to come here. ”

At this time, Expert Chen looked at Elder Yan, such a thing was really difficult for him to do. Although he personally expressed his willingness, this appraisal is a collective matter. It's not his wishful thinking, and he has to ask other people's opinions.

Yan Lao smiled and nodded, they were still willing to help with such a favor. Let's not talk about this old man's sincerity, just take it to help China cultivate a talent, which is also a merit, why not do it?

Seeing that Elder Yan nodded, the others would certainly not have an opinion. Only then did Expert Chen take the white porcelain vase, and the more he looked at it, the more his brows wrinkled. Finally, he shook his head and handed the porcelain vase to the next one, with a wry smile on his face.

When the old man saw Expert Chen shaking his head, his whole heart sank, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper.

It was a white porcelain vase, the size of a palm, shaped like a gourd, and the bottle was smooth and delicate, without a trace of impurities. What is strange is that this porcelain vase is actually sealed and has no mouth. And there is no trace of history, as if the object has just come out of the kiln, it does not look like there is a treasure of hundreds of years at all. No wonder no one collected it before, it is estimated that no one asked for a hundred yuan.

After the experts in the back looked at it, their expressions were as if they were out of action with Expert Chen, and the old man became even more ugly.

"Old man, we can't see this thing for sure!" Expert Chen sighed and said, but he didn't say it too plainly, and he lost the face of the old man. If it weren't for the fact that this old man was simple and honest, and his feelings were sincere, not like pretending, they would really suspect that this old man deliberately used a new product to brush them!

And the old man doesn't read much, so his speech is much more direct: "You also think it's fake? Alas! How good is that? Is Heaven Destined for Generations to Plough? The old man grabbed a handful of hair in pain, and the already messy hair became even more presumptuous.

Several experts were silent, and they really couldn't speak anymore to attack the poor old man.

Hong Tianbao cautiously took over this peculiar porcelain bottle, and as soon as he came out of this bottle, Hong Tianbao stared intently. Even Tang Xin on the side felt strange, it was rare to see Hong Tianbao so focused on an antique. Grandma walks fast, there must be something weird! Tang Xin understood that Hong Tianbao must have made another major discovery. She also looked carefully at the porcelain vase in Hong Tianbao's hand, and her heart became even more ignorant. Although this porcelain vase is delicately made and has smooth lines, it not only has no practical value, but also has no historical value.

A hint of joy flashed in Hong Tianbao's eyes, this was the second cultivation thing he had discovered after the Space Ring. This porcelain vase is not a great magic weapon, just a container. Now it has been banned so that the whole bottle is sealed and does not show a single crack. In fact, the porcelain vase has a bottle mouth and a bottle cap, but the two have been fused together, and this is the great thing about cultivators.

"Uncle! Do you really want to sell this porcelain vase? Hong Tianbao clenched the porcelain bottle and asked, he had been told by Luobao Qian that this was a bottle of high-grade elixir, called Liqi Dan, which was the supreme pill for healing injuries. Although it is not as exaggerated as the flesh and bones of a dead person, as long as it breathes away, it can live.

"Ugh! Little brother, do you want it? The old man was sad and depressed, and when he saw that Hong Tianbao was interested, he immediately raised a glimmer of hope and looked at Hong Tianbao with a hopeful face.

"Yes, yes! As long as you are willing to sell! Hong Tianbao immediately said, joke! It's a bottle of life! Don't be a fool.

The old man said excitedly: "Sell!" Of course it's sold! This, little brother, you see how much this bottle is worth. The old man didn't get dizzy with joy, the most important thing is how much it can be worth.

This sentence is stumped by Hong Tianbao, the things in his hand are real treasures! In his opinion, it is more precious than the jade carving, and it is really difficult to price it.

The old man was dumbfounded when he saw Hong Tianbao talking about the price, thinking that the bottle was really worthless, and it was difficult for this little brother to speak, so he was suddenly anxious again.

Hong Tianbao learned that there were a total of twenty elixirs in it through the treasure money, and he thought about it for a while and prepared to price each one at a price of 100,000. It's not that he is stingy, but it's not good to bid too high, mainly because he can't explain it himself. You can't tell people that it contains a priceless treasure, right? Even if you dare to say it, do people dare to believe it?

Although he already had an idea, Hong Tianbao still asked: "Uncle, how much money are you going to sell?" ”

The old man himself is not greedy, he just wants to make up enough money for his grandson's schooling. In addition, I am afraid that the price will be too high, so I scared away the only interested brother. Therefore, he hesitated and said, "Little brother, see if this bottle can be worth 50,000!" ”

50,000 yuan is enough for tuition, as long as his grandson saves money, the rest of the living expenses should not be much worse. The old man had to make another plan, and his family should be able to survive.

Hong Tianbao smiled slightly, although people only opened 50,000 yuan, but he couldn't let the old man lose too much, otherwise his conscience would not be able to pass it. So Hong Tianbao is still ready to take it for two million, even so, he has already picked up a lot of cheapness.

"Huh! Uncle, your bottle is a treasure! I really can't do 50,000, I want 2 million! But you'll have to wait, it may be a little later to check out. ”

"Two million?"

Not only was the old man stunned, but even others thought Hong Tianbao was crazy. Especially a few experts and Tang Xin who have seen the bottle, they have already regarded Hong Tianbao as a good person, but good people don't do it either!

Yan Lao also walked over, took the bottle and looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly. He is also not optimistic about this porcelain vase, and feels that it is better to go to the street to buy a modern handicraft, at least the color is better than this bottle.

"Little brother, are you talking about two million? I heard you right! The old man asked uncertainly, feeling that two million was too unreal.

"Uh-huh! That's right! It's two million! If you can, when the appraisal is over, we will transfer the money, what do you think? Hong Tianbao ignored the strange expressions of the others and said refreshedly.

"Yes! OK! I'm waiting for you right here! The old man said in surprise, not only does his grandson not have to worry about going to school, but he also unexpectedly gets a fortune. Two million is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for him, in addition to reading to his grandson, he can also go back to the village to build a building, and there should be a lot left in the end.

Tang Xin still knows Hong Tianbao best, and after thinking about it, she has never seen Hong Tianbao suffer a loss. And judging from the look on his face just now, this guy must have discovered something. She leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Tell me honestly, is this thing an immortal treasure?" ”

Hong Tianbao was shocked, this girl can really guess! It's a shocking thing, but you can't understand it. Therefore, Hong Tianbao replied lightly: "You think too much, can the baby escape the eyes of you and Yan Lao and others?" ”

Tang Xin snatched the porcelain vase and said, "Since it's not a treasure, then I want it." ”

Hong Tianbao was suddenly in a hurry, and immediately shouted: "No! Little Pepper, you'd better not mess around, or don't blame me for being unkind. ”

Tang Xin also figured out Hong Tianbao's surname. Under normal circumstances, this guy is gentle and elegant, rarely hands-on, and at most he just says cruel things. But once the situation is beyond his bottom limit, this guy is more terrible than anyone else, just like the last time he was at the docks, incarnated as a devil and ruthless! And now Hong Tianbao is obviously saying cruel things, so she is not afraid, and asks: "Then do you say it?" ”

"Alas! You give me back the things first, and I'll tell you when the appraisal is over. "It's really a bargain with a woman, Hong Tianbao had no choice but to say.
