Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"Alright, alright! Damao, don't make an offer for this yet. With your level, don't be angry if I tell you the truth in advance."

"I'm not saying that you, Damao, are bad. After all, you are young and may not have learned all this knowledge yet. Let your friend take a look first, ask him to give you a price, and then come back and tell me."

"As for this thing, I'll leave it with you for now. Once your friend has made his offer, just come back and let me know."

Yan Bugui still had a smiling expression on his face. After saying this, he was about to push the door open and leave.

"Hey, Mr. Yan, please don't leave. Don't look at my young age, I have read a lot of books."

Yan Bugui ignored Xu Damao and walked away, getting farther and farther away, as if staying with Xu Damao for too long would lower his IQ.

"Teacher Yan! Teacher Yan! The money for the bowl! You haven't taken the money for the Yongzheng bowl yet!"

As soon as Xu Damao finished speaking, Yan Bugui, who was leaving quickly, turned around in a standard way and walked back slowly.

"Da Mao, what's the matter? I left in a hurry just now, and there are some urgent matters at home, so I have to go back quickly."

Yan Bugui's face was not red and he was not out of breath. He held his eyes and spoke in a low and hoarse voice.

"Well, I just wanted to ask Mr. Yan how much he wants to sell it for. After all, when I show it to my friend, he will definitely ask the price. I can come back and tell you then, right?"

"I'm telling you, I won't sell this thing for less than 200 yuan. Damao, we have done a deal before. Uncle, I'm telling you the truth, this thing is not mine. I'm helping people sell it."

"After selling it, I can also earn a little commission."

"Da Mao, when they gave me this thing, they said it was definitely from two thousand years ago. I won't even consider selling it for less than two hundred dollars."

"It's because you want this thing. If it were someone else, I would definitely ask for 250 yuan! I wouldn't sell it to you at any lower price!"

Yan Bugui suddenly put on a mysterious expression, came closer, and whispered to Xu Damao.

This completely confused Xu Damao. What the old man said sounded very plausible. Xu Damao couldn't tell whether it was true or false. He had to admire Yan Bugui's excellent acting skills.

"Two hundred yuan! Do I think it's that high? Teacher Yan, I can't make the decision on this."

"Oh no, I might have asked for too much and scared this kid, but I can't mess around, the words have been said and can't be changed."

Yan Bugui's mental activity was very frequent at this moment. He was afraid that if he offered a high price, Xu Damao would be scared away, but he was also afraid that if he offered too low a price, he would suffer a loss...

"Oh, my Third Uncle, your ten or twenty dollars are fine. I have them on me right now and can take them out right away. But you asked for two hundred dollars right away, and I definitely can't take them out."

"Even if I take it out, I wouldn't dare give it to you. ... I have to ask my friend and bring the thing over to let him take a look. What if it's not worth two hundred? I'll be at a huge loss!"

"Maybe I really don't understand. I just can't see why this thing is valuable. Here, Mr. Yan, this is ten dollars for the Yongzheng bowl. Please keep it."

"As for this thing, you have to wait a few more days. When I am free one day, I will take it to my friend and let him take a look at it."

Xu Damao looked nonchalant, and his words clearly showed that he did not take the jade horn cup seriously. At the same time, he was also sending a signal to Yan Bugui that he, Xu Damao, looked down on this thing and thought it was worthless.

"Da Mao, you have to take a good look at this thing, and do it as soon as possible, maybe within a week. The person who asked me to help sell it must leave here, and either get the money or the thing."

Seeing that Xu Damao was not serious, Yan Bugui used the time limit method to force Xu Damao, the lazy donkey, to work hard, and casually accepted the ten yuan that Xu Damao handed over.

"Okay, since Teacher Yan said so, I will go to my friend's house within a week to ask. Don't be angry if my friend offers a lower price then."

"I can't be angry. Even if the deal doesn't go through, we still have friendship. I'm going back now. Don't forget this."

"Okay, I will definitely remember it. Teacher Yan, take care. I won't see you off."

"Okay, Damao, you take a rest. You have to put this thing away carefully. Don't drop it or bump into it. Then..."

"Teacher Yan, don't worry. If there is any damage, it will be my fault! I am right here, how can I run away?"

"Okay, Damao, you are the one I think is the best in our hospital. Also, don't let anyone else know about our relationship."

Yan Bugui gave a hypocritical compliment, deliberately lowering his voice at the last sentence, and then slowly left Xu Damao's house.

"Hehe, we got the treasure! Now Yan Bugui can forget about taking it back. Even if he regrets it and comes back to ask for it, we can just give him two hundred yuan to send him away."

Sorry, the items have been sold. As for where they were sold to, hehe, Chaoyangmen black market, go find it yourself..."

He casually put the Yongzheng official kiln blue and white multicolored bowl and the Western Han Dynasty rhinoceros horn jade cup into his personal space. No one else in the world could find them except himself.

In my previous life, I didn't have the capital to get these two things, the Yongzheng official kiln blue and white multicolored bowl, I didn't have the dowry to get it.

As for the rhino horn-shaped jade cup from the Western Han Dynasty, even if I had the financial resources, it would be like the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror, and I would not be able to get it at all. If I succeeded by chance, once the news leaked out, I would probably step on the sewing machine inside until it smoked!

At this time, Xu Damao felt a wave of sleepiness coming over him, and his head was a little dizzy due to drinking a little wine. Xu Damao simply took off his clothes, lay on the bed and got into the quilt.

"Fuck, this drink has a strong aftereffect!"

……

Early the next morning, Xu Damao rode his bicycle straight to the steel mill.

"Good morning, Damao. You came early today. The weather is getting cold. Are you cold wearing this shirt?"

The comrades from the security department at the entrance of the steel rolling mill greeted Xu Damao very familiarly.

"It's OK. It's not that cold when I button my shirt. If I unbutton it, it's a bit chilly. My dear brothers, these are the sunflower seeds I bought on the road. You can eat them when you have some free time to kill time."

As Xu Damao spoke, he took out a brown paper bag and handed it over. Inside was a full bag of melon seeds.

"Oh, brother, you are too polite, but we have a rule here that we cannot accept workers'..."

The comrades from the security department began to refuse. After all, it was okay to smoke a cigarette on weekdays, but such a big bag of melon seeds weighed almost two kilograms. If they were discovered, they might be punished.
