Early the next morning, Chu Chen's family went to pay homage to Liu Guomin.

Seeing this grave of a beloved buried again, Chu Chen still felt very sad in his heart, if his adoptive father could live, he would be able to enjoy the joy of family life now, and he would be able to reunite with his sister again.

It's a pity that there is no if in this world, Chu Chen can only let go of the grief in his heart, and vow to let Liu Guoju's family and the villagers here live a happy life in the future.

Different from Chu Chen's sad mood, Chu Yongning and his wife were very grateful to Liu Guomin in their hearts. If it weren't for Liu Guomin's careful teaching and care over the years, Chu Chen would not be as good as he is now, and he might have been swallowed up by the hatred in Chu Chen's heart.

worshiped Liu Guomin, because Chu Yongning must go to work tomorrow, Chu Chen asked his parents and sister to go back first, and he stayed to buy old things in the village and prepare to return to Beijing tomorrow.

Originally, Chu Yulan said that it was boring to go home and wanted to stay and play for a while, but the conditions here were relatively poor after all, which was not conducive to the healing of the wound on her arm.

Seeing off his parents and sister, Chu Chen took Hu Yong to the ancestral hall in the village, which is where the antiques are purchased today.

Because they learned the news in advance, the villagers brought all the bottles and cans handed down by their ancestors, and the scene can be described as a variety of things, and even the pig food bowl was brought over.

Seeing this, the old village chief scolded: "I said that I was stunned, why did you bring all the pig food bowls!" ”

The second stunned man scratched his head and said with a smile: "Didn't you say it was an old thing." My pig food bowl is my grandfather's grandfather, and I already have it. Isn't it old enough? ”

The old village chief said angrily: "You fool, things always depend on what they are used for." What is it made of, you just say that the stone mill at the entrance of our village is two or three hundred years old, it is old enough, I will sell it to you for 500 yuan, do you want it? ”

"I'm not stupid, why did I buy that thing!" The second stunned blinked and said.

"You're not stupid, and Chu Wazi is even less stupid, do you think he will spend money to buy you this pig food bowl!" The old village chief glared at him and said.

The second stunned thought for a moment. I felt that it really made sense, so I scratched my head and said, "Then I'll take the things back!" ”

With that, he picked up the bowl and prepared to take it home.

"Wait!"

Chu Chen hurriedly stopped him, then stepped forward and said, "Brother Er, can you show me this pig food bowl!" ”

When everyone saw that Chu Chen actually wanted to see the stunned pig food bowl, they all looked at each other, not knowing what Chu Chen wanted to do. Could it be that this pig food bowl is still a treasure?

"Brother Er, can I take a look?" Chu Chen saw the stunned appearance of the second child, and then asked.

"Oh! Yes, Chu Wazi, you can just watch! The two stunned came back to their senses. Hurriedly put the pig food bowl in his hand back on the ground.

The diameter of this pig food bowl is nearly 50 centimeters, because of the perennial feeding of pigs, the top of the pot looks very dirty. Except for the bottom of the place, a little bit of the bottom is exposed, and the rest of the surface. It's all covered up in mud and swill.

But it was the exposed foundation that made Chu Chen notice. This pig food bowl looked like a bronze vessel, which immediately made Chu Chen feel interested.

In the past, Chu Chen was in the antique market, and he often heard something like going to the countryside to receive goods, and accidentally found that pig food bowls, dog food bowls, and chicken food bowls were actually good things, and then picked up the leaks at a very low price. Although Chu Chen had never experienced this kind of thing, he had heard a lot, and he sometimes fantasized about when he would encounter such a good thing.

Now it seems that this pig food bowl of the second stunned man is likely to fulfill the wish that Chu Chen has been thinking about for many years.

Next, Chu Chen didn't use his ability to check first, because it would be less of a surprise, he asked the old village chief for water and a rag, and was going to give this pig food bowl a bath first.

Of course, in another case, Chu Chen would definitely not use water to clean it, but this thing has always been used to feed pigs, so it is not so particular.

After a while, the water and rags arrived, so Chu Chen began to clean it, because to keep the basin as intact as possible, Chu Chen didn't dare to use too much force, and he just dealt with some key places simply, and was ready to go back and use tools to deal with them well.

The swill and soil were still very easy to clean, and after a while, the bottom of this "pig food bowl" was roughly exposed, and a smile bloomed on Chu Chen's face.

This basin is large in shape and has flat edges. The basin is carved with lotus pond waterfowl figures, there are lotus, lotus pods, cranes, mandarin ducks, dragonflies and grass patterns, and the flat folds are carved along the floral patterns, which can be described as dense composition, exquisite carving.

Judging from the composition style of the pattern and the characteristics of the process, this copper basin should be a product of the Yuan Dynasty, and it should be a representative work of the copper craft of the Yuan Dynasty.

However, what makes Chu Chen feel very pity is that this copper basin is used to feed pigs all year round, and the surface corrosion is somewhat serious, which makes the impact on its value very large, if the quality is relatively intact, the value of this copper basin can exceed 100,000, and now, it is only about 30,000.

Of course, 30,000 yuan is already a very large amount of money for these villagers present, and the countryside is the most particular about wealth and does not show it, so Chu Chen pulled the second stunned aside, and then told him the price.

"What, 30,000 yuan!" The second stunned man exclaimed incredulously.

"These two are stunned, their brains are just not bright!" Chu Chen patted his forehead, when he called this, wouldn't it be known to the world, it is estimated that everyone will have to go back to get the pig food bowl in a while.

The facts were really similar to what Chu Chen thought, I heard that the pig food bowl of the stunned man was worth 30,000 yuan, and after the scene was quiet for a while, it immediately boiled.

"My mother, such a pig food bowl is worth 30,000 yuan, child. Mother, pinch me, am I dreaming! Oops, it does seem to be true! But a pig food bowl is worth 30,000 yuan, what's wrong with this world! ”

"It's not what's wrong with the world, it's a stupid person who would feed the pigs with a pot of 30,000 yuan!"

"No matter how stupid people are, the pig food bowl is worth 30,000 yuan, what about you!"

"I ...... My pig food bowl may be worth 50,000 yuan, I'll go and bring my pig food bowl over to Chu Wazi to see. ”

"Yes, I'll ...... too"

……

For a while, the villagers who had pig food bowls at home all wanted to go home and give their pig food bowls to Chu Chen to see, and basically everyone felt that their pig food bowls should also be a treasure.

"Wait a minute, everyone!"

Chu Chen hurriedly shouted, stopped the villagers who were about to go home, and then introduced to the villagers what antiques are and the factors that determine the market value of antiques.

Chu Chen's introduction was very effective, and it quickly suppressed the fanatical emotions of the villagers at the scene.

"I see!" A villager suddenly said: "By the way, big dog, I remember that your pig food bowl seems to have been carved out of stones from the mountains last year, and you were so embarrassed to bring it to Chu Wazi?" ”

The big dog looked embarrassed, and said weakly: "Didn't you forget about it when you were excited just now!" ”

Listening to what the big dog said, most of the villagers who just muttered that they wanted to go back to get the pig food bowl also reacted, their own pig food bowl must not meet the requirements, only a few villagers are ready to go back to take the pig food bowl over, ready to try their luck.

At the same time, after repeated inquiries, the second stunned man finally believed that his "pig food bowl" was indeed worth 30,000 yuan, and immediately cheered, but immediately he burst into tears again.

The old village chief was speechless and said: "I said that I was stunned, this is a happy event, why are you crying!" ”

The second stunned man cried and said, "I...... If I had known that my pot would be worth 30,000 yuan, my mother wouldn't have to leave so early! ”

The old village chief opened his mouth, then patted the shoulder of the stunned man and said, "Hey, this is fate, who would have known that a pig food bowl would be worth so much money!" But it's already like this, don't cry, you. My mother's biggest wish before her death was to let you get married and have children, and now that you have money, it's better to get married as soon as possible, so that you. Mother is under Jiuquan, and she can rest assured. ”

To say that the second stunned family is indeed unfortunate enough, he has no father since he was a child, and it is not easy for him. Mother pulled him up alone, and because of a high fever, the treatment was delayed, although it was fine, but because of the sequelae, the brain was a little inflexible.

A somewhat stupid young man, plus the family doesn't have much money, of course no one will marry his daughter to him. That's it, the first two years of him. My mother is sick again, and if I want to say that this disease is not cured in the city, but the medical expenses will cost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, which is definitely not something that the second stunned family can afford.

There was no choice but to ask the barefoot doctor to dispense some medicine and drag it out, so that the disease became more and more serious, and the life was lost after the worst illness.

It can be regarded as the blessing of the parents in the spirit of heaven since he. After his mother died, the second stunned man's mind actually improved a little, although he was still a little stupid, but he was able to do farm work and other things, he was able to complete it by himself.

Chu Chen listened to the cause and effect, and felt very uncomfortable, for the sake of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, he actually lost his life, which was too cruel.

And if he had known about this earlier, he would definitely have been able to help, but every time he came back, no one had mentioned to him about Er's mother, and he was not very familiar with Er's family, so he had no way of knowing about it.

In fact, this is also normal, after all, it is one or two thousand yuan, and no family in Lujia Village can afford it, and of course no one will talk to Chu Chen about it. (To be continued......)
