Chapter 5 A Touch of Red Through the Ages

The middle-aged woman's words brought Zhang Yi back to his senses.

In fact, Zhang Yi is not very clear about how much this Ming Dynasty red incense box is worth.

"Otherwise, I'll give you something cheaper, can you see if you can take it?"

The middle-aged woman saw that the young man in front of her was very interested in his box, so she asked. After all, her family is really anxious to use money to pay for her husband's medical treatment.

"Auntie, how much your box is worth, to be honest, I don't know very well."

"That's it...... I don't know how much money your family is missing from seeing a doctor? ”

Zhang Yi deeply experienced the pain of his family's illness and no money for treatment, so he decided to help this middle-aged woman. However, he doesn't have a lot of money, and if the other party needs too much, he probably won't be able to help.

The middle-aged woman hesitated, a little afraid to speak.

"Three...... Three thousand pieces. ”

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Zhang Yi.

She felt that even if the red box hadn't been broken, it might not be worth three thousand yuan.

Although the old box is beautiful, it used to be just a candy thing in her house. If it weren't for a relative who said that this might be worth some money, she wouldn't have traveled all the way to the city to exchange money.

However, it happened that 3,000 yuan was within Zhang Yi's tolerance.

Therefore, he did not hesitate.

"Auntie, three thousand yuan, I took this box!"

Zhang Yi agreed, in fact, no matter how much money he had, Zhang Yi couldn't take it out. After all, the more than 7,000 that were made by touching porcelain last time were missed, and after paying the hospitalization fee and medical expenses, there are only more than 3,000 left.

Of course, the reason why the 3,000 yuan was received was also based on Zhang Yi's right-hand appraisal ability, giving the affirmation of the exquisite craftsmanship of the red picking, presumably, the 3,000 yuan would not be fully lost.

What's more, when things are in his hands, they can be repaired.

The middle-aged woman didn't expect Zhang Yi to agree so refreshingly.

She was a little embarrassed.

"Little brother, is this thing really worth three thousand yuan?"

"I see that you are also a good person, you are still so young, and the money is not blowing in the wind, if it is not worth so much, you can just look at it, and I will find a way to make up the rest when I go back."

The middle-aged woman's words were very simple, in her opinion, three thousand yuan was a large amount, but Zhang Yi did not continue to say anything.

"Auntie, this box is worth three thousand."

"You...... Is there a QR code? ”

The middle-aged woman shook her head, not quite understanding what a QR code was.

The mobile phone she took out was not a smartphone yet.

After the matter was settled, Zhang Yi took the middle-aged woman to a nearby bank to withdraw 3,000 yuan, and handed it to her in person.

This middle-aged woman's name is Wu Cuilian.

The family lives in a place called Xiasi Village, which is very remote, and it is more than 200 miles to the city, and it took three trips to find this place to collect antiques.

Before leaving, Wu Cuilian also asked Zhang Yi for a phone number.

She said that similar old things still exist in their rural areas, and if Zhang Yi still accepts them, he will call him when there is a suitable one.

Zhang Yi nodded and said that as long as it is a good object, it will be accepted, and the more the merrier.

I got the plum blossom pattern red incense box.

The first thing to do, naturally, is to repair.

Like last time, Zhang Yi went to the small park near the ancient street, found a place where there were no people, and used the repair power of his right hand to complete the restoration.

He stared at the incense box, but he still couldn't see clearly how the cracks and bumps on the incense box disappeared.

Of course, he didn't dwell on it.

After completing the repair, I called Uncle Chen.

"Xiao Yi, isn't there too much money on hand, how much do you need, you say, I'll transfer it to you on WeChat!"

Zhang Yi scratched his head.

"Uncle Chen, no, I wanted to ask if you were in the store?"

On the other end of the phone, Uncle Chen was silent for a moment.

"Xiao Yi, you just picked up a leak a few days ago, don't you think about picking it up again?"

"It's not counting, I just received something, and I don't know if it's worth it, or I'll take it over to you?"

"Okay, come here!"

After the meeting.

Uncle Chen nagged.

"Xiao Yi, picking up this kind of thing requires eyesight, and there is a lot of luck. If you deliberately pick up the leaks, you will often be pitted. ”

"When I was about the same age as you, I was cheated several times, and there were many times when you thought it was a leak, but in fact, it may have been someone else's trick for you. I remember that when I was the poorest, I was so bitter that I couldn't even afford to eat steamed buns......"

While Uncle Chen was nagging, Zhang Yi opened the red box wrapped in layers of fabric.

When he saw this box, Uncle Chen's nagging came to an abrupt end!

He immediately took off his glasses, wiped them well, and put them on again, and spread a piece of brocade cloth on the table before he spoke.

"Xiao Yi, put it here."

After putting it away.

"Xiao Yi, why didn't you say it earlier? You are a plum blossom pattern red incense box! ”

Uncle Chen's tone sounded a little excited.

"Uncle Chen, that ...... Is this thing worth three thousand? ”

Uncle Chen shook his head slowly, his expression was strange, Zhang Yi thought that Uncle Chen meant that it was not worth three thousand yuan, but why was Uncle Chen so excited?

"Wait a minute, I'll take a closer look."

After a long time, Uncle Chen's observation and research stopped.

"The plum blossom pattern red incense box in the middle of the Ming Dynasty is open to the door!"

These words were expected by Zhang Yi, but the next sentence surprised Zhang Yi.

"Xiao Yi, 70,000 yuan, you can't get out?"

"Huh?"

Uncle Chen has a soft spot for the "eternal redness", and at the same time, he also likes to study ancient fragrances. He has been looking for such a incense box for a long time, but he has never found a suitable one.

The red incense box in front of him can be described as his favorite thing.

Zhang Yi was actually stunned, he never expected that such a box could be worth so much money. No wonder the evaluation given at the time of appraisal is so high.

Originally, he also thought that he might lose some money if he received 3,000 yuan.

"If 70,000 is not enough, then 80,000! Xiao Yi, Uncle really wants to accept your red incense box! ”

Zhang Yi came back to his senses this time.

"Uncle, it's worth as much as it gets. To tell you the truth, when I received it, it was only three thousand. ”

For Uncle Chen, Zhang Yi is still very honest.

After all, in difficult times, only Uncle Chen was willing to help in the huge Los Angeles.

And other people, friends and relatives, let alone contact him, because they were afraid of the power of the Zhang family, they had already blocked the number of Zhang Yi's family and avoided him.

At this time, Uncle Chen's eyes were full of envy.

As soon as he entered the store just now, he was still educating Zhang Yi, don't always think about picking up leaks. But in fact, he was slapped in the face, and Zhang Yi not only was not caught, but picked up a bigger leak.

"Xiao Yi, your luck, seriously, uncle really admires it!"
