Chapter 41: Picking up leaks

Susie picked it up, and was about to throw it back into the pile of broken metal, when suddenly she took a guessing look.

This thing has three legs, two ears, and looks a bit like an incense burner.

The thing that is heavy in the hand is either iron or copper.

Susie's heart moved, and her fingers rubbed on it a few times, and the dust was rubbed off a bit, revealing a color like chestnut.

Susie glanced at the old man, who was still listening to the radio with his eyes closed.

She turned over the incense burner in her hand and wiped it hard at the bottom of the incense burner, and the handwriting engraved on the bottom of the furnace appeared, "Ming Xuande Year System".

Susie's hand tightened.

Xuande furnace!

She once saw the Xuande furnace at the auction, the bottom was the same as this, and the color was similar, and she remembered that the Xuande furnace seemed to have been auctioned for more than five million.

At that time, the auctioneer also told a story, saying that during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, the palace caught fire, and some gold, silver and bronze utensils were burned in the fire, and the emperor asked the craftsmen to make these melted metals into incense burners, and also personally participated in the design.

This batch of incense burners is the Xuande furnace.

Susie didn't know if the story was true or not, and today, the Xuande furnace worth millions rolled under her feet.

It's like God gave it to her.

She suddenly remembered a sentence, God doesn't take it, but suffers from it!

She's got to take this thing!

Her mind was spinning, and the thing was thrown into the pile of broken metal, apparently the owner of the scrapyard didn't know its value.

If she hadn't discovered it today, it would not be long before this Xuande furnace would turn into a puddle of copper water along with those broken copper and broken iron.

Susie had never studied antique appraisal, but she didn't suspect that this thing was fake, and now these things were worthless, no one wanted them, and naturally no one would fake them.

Only when there is demand in the market will fakes proliferate.

Susie squatted down again, grabbed a handful of ashes, and glued them vigorously to the bottom of the Xuande furnace, then took a few books from the pile of books, and walked up to the old man, "Uncle, take a look, how much are these in total?" ”

When the uncle opened his eyes, he first stared at the Xuande furnace that Susie was carrying, and he said "Huh", "How can there be an incense burner?" ”

Susie didn't speak, and the uncle took the Xuande furnace and looked at it, and suddenly said, "This thing is not cheap!" ”

Susie chuckled in her heart, could it be that the uncle found something?

She thought about it, forget it, she found it when she found it, which means that she has nothing to do with this thing.

I heard the uncle continue: "This incense burner is copper, and now the copper is collected for eight cents and a catty." He took the Xuande furnace in his hand, "This is at least two or three catties." ”

Susie smiled at him, "Then you calculate how much it is, my grandmother often gives incense to my grandfather, but there is a lack of an incense burner." ”

Tian Xiaohui and Zhao Tingting listened to Susie's nonsense, and the two looked at each other, not knowing why Susie suddenly wanted to buy an incense burner.

The uncle pondered in his heart for a moment and squinted his eyes, "If you want it, you will give five yuan for this incense burner." ”

When Zhao Tingting heard this, she turned her head and said, "So expensive? Didn't you just say that copper is eight cents a pound, so it's two dollars and four at most. ”

The uncle waved his hand, "Little girl, this is not the case, I received it at the price of copper, but when I sold it, I sold a usable object, and the price was naturally different." ”

Susie only felt that what the uncle said was very reasonable, she was just about to agree, but she was afraid that she would agree too happily The old man sat on the ground and raised the price, or found something. She thought for a moment and stretched out a few books in her hand, "Five yuan must be counted in these books, otherwise it will be too much of a loss." ”

Tian Xiaohui, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly got up, and also took two books and put them in Susie's hand, "Add two more." ”

The old man shook his head again and again, "No, no, there are six books here, and I'm going to lose money when I add them up." ”

"Five dollars and six cents, not a penny less!"

Without waiting for Susie to speak, Tian Xiaohui shouted, "Five pieces of one, otherwise we don't want any of these." ”

Susie silently shut up, listened to Tian Xiaohui and the old man tug back and forth, and in the end, the two said five pieces of four.

Susie happily took out the money, took a piece of waste newspaper and put a pack of Xuande stove, and then put the book and the basket together.

Coming out of the scrap acquisition station, Tian Xiaohui asked curiously, "What do you want to do with this, this is not good-looking, and you can't use it." ”

The furniture Susie bought was nice and easy to use, she could understand. But this thing, it's a black mess, and I really don't know what to do when I bought it.

Susie said vaguely, "I'm useful." ”

Tian Xiaohui didn't ask if she didn't say anything.

Susie then instructed Zhao Tingting, "You go behind me, help me watch the back basket, don't let the contents be stolen by thieves." ”

Zhao Tingting nodded, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you." ”

A few people came out of the alley and went to the market.

The market was crowded, and the three of them walked for a while, bought some ingredients for vegetables, and bought a broom, and I don't know what kind of plant it was tied with, but it was quite easy to use.

Susie remembered that her stamp was gone, so she pulled the two of them to the post office.

As he was huddled in the crowd, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Susie—Susie—"

Susie turned around and saw Ruan Zhonghua not far behind her, he was tall, standing in the crowd as if he stood out from the crowd.

Susie turned around happily, "Huazi! I was going to look for you on your team. ”

Ruan Zhonghua doesn't know why Susie always likes to call him Huazi, the family calls him Huazi, and grandma calls him Xiaohua, Huazi, which is Susie's exclusive name for him.

Ruan Zhonghua thought so, the tips of his ears began to redden, and he walked quickly towards Susie, "You have something to do with me?" ”

Susie smiled: "I said it last time, when the autumn harvest is over, please eat." ”

Ruan Zhonghua waved his hand, "No need, I-"

"No, this meal must be eaten." Susie interrupted him, "It just so happens that there is food today, and I have to go to say anything today." ”

"If you're afraid that it's too late to walk, just squeeze in with the male intellectuals of our team for one night."

Ruan Zhonghua was a little embarrassed, "Okay, but I still have a friend." ”

Only then did Susie realize that there was a young man beside him, and the young man looked like he was in his early twenties, with a dimple on one side of his face, which looked very pleasing.

"Wang Jihong is also the educated youth of our seventh row."

Susie smiled at Wang Jihong, "We just happened to be guests in our team together." ”

Wang Jihong was a little shy and nodded.

Susie saw Wang Jihong pushing the bicycle, with a bag tied to the frame, "Have you bought all your things, if you buy them all, we will go back, and we can still make lunch." ”

Ruan Zhonghua said: "Buy it, put your back basket in the car." ”

He helped remove the basket from Susie's back and fastened it on the bike, and several people squeezed out of the crowd.
