Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Xu Damao just lied to Yan Bugui, saying that this rhino horn cup was a replica from the Republic of China period and that it was the horn of an ordinary rhino.

All these statements are to prove that this thing is not worth a hundred dollars or can barely reach a hundred dollars.

As for selling it at Tong Ren Tang, Xu Damao also had an element of gambling in his mind. If Yan Bugui really took the cup to sell, it would definitely be worth more than a hundred yuan.

If Yan Bugui really went, hehe, Xu Damao would have to find a way to stop him from going.

After all, there must be an expert in Tongrentang, who can tell the material of this rhino horn cup at a glance.

That’s right, this cup is made of Sumatran rhino horn, which is also the most precious rhino horn in the world!

This Sumatran rhino horn has the highest medicinal value, and the rhino horn used to make this cup is also the best among rhino horns.

Moreover, this rhino horn cup is extremely exquisitely made. What Yan Bugui said just now is absolutely correct. The inscription on the bottom of the rhino horn cup is indeed Hu Xingyue, and he was indeed a famous artist in the court at that time.

Hu Xingyue is a local Beijinger. The relief he carved on the outer wall of this cup is a Taotie pattern, which is the text on bronze ware. It embodies a royal atmosphere and is very exquisitely made.

His swordsmanship could be said to be unparalleled in the world at that time!

So although this rhino horn cup is small, it is actually a big thing, and Xu Damao really made a good deal this time.

In the past, an ordinary rhino horn cup that had been handed down for more than a hundred years was worth several thousand yuan per gram. The ones with fine carvings and longer years were more valuable and were generally sold at auctions.

Some rhino horns are made into accessories such as hand-held ornaments, bracelets, necklaces, and rings.

As for some small pieces of rhino horn that have been polished and used as medicine, they can be sold for several hundred yuan per gram.

In his previous life, Xu Damao heard someone say that when he had a high fever as a child, he ground some rhino horn powder and drank it with water. The fever went down immediately and the disease was cured, thus avoiding the tragedy of becoming a "village guard."

What Xu Damao has in his hand is the finest rhinoceros horn. It can be said to be of the highest grade in terms of both age and quality. If he wanted to sell such a treasure in his previous life, he would have gone to an auction venue, where many wealthy people would have waved their money and rushed to buy it.

Whoever gets this treasure will have the right to set the price, after all, it is too rare.

If this thing is put up for auction, 4 to 5 million is just the starting price, and we don’t know what the final transaction price will be! It is extremely valuable.

However, Xu Damao already knew in his previous life that this Sumatran rhinoceros was extinct, so he concluded that if this animal appeared at an auction house, it would definitely not be sold at all.

Because this kind of rhinoceros has become extinct and completely disappeared from the earth, Xu Damao is not planning to sell it and is going to keep it for himself.

At the same time, Xu Damao was mentally prepared to complete the task of buying a bicycle as Yan Bugui asked him to do.

At least the car should be as new as his own bicycle. After all, since he got such a good thing from Yan Bugui, he should put in some effort.

Besides, who can guarantee that Yan Bugui only has this one treasure in his house? Maybe there are other things hidden by this old guy.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao decided to help Yan Bugui to get this done the day after tomorrow, so that Yan Bugui could see his abilities.

This way, if the same thing happens in the future, this guy will come to me for help again, and maybe he will even take out some other treasures.

At night, Xu Damao slept soundly with the rhino horn cup in his arms. He felt refreshed. He touched the cup in his hand and wondered if it was the cup that was the problem.

"It is said that drinking the water in this rhino horn cup can prolong one's life. I don't know if it is true, but let's give it a try!"

Xu Damao muttered to himself, but his hands were not idle. He started to boil water and cooked a big goose egg for breakfast.

Wash the ox-horn cup with clean water, then put boiling water in a bowl, and pour it into the ox-horn cup after it has cooled for a while. When it is no longer hot, Xu Damao slowly drinks it.

Increased strength all over the body!

Great improvement in physical fitness!

My waist and legs no longer feel sore, and I can fight with Sister Li for more than an hour!

Enough to challenge Sha Zhu in a one-on-one duel!

Of course, the above are all Xu Damao's hallucinations. This water is no different from what he drinks every day...

Xu Damao put the ox horn cup into his personal space, peeled the goose egg and ate it, then went out and pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard.

Go to the steel mill to move bricks!

When passing by Tongrentang, Xu Damao stopped his bicycle for some unknown reason, locked it, and walked straight in.

"See a doctor or take medicine?"

A clerk at the counter greeted Xu Damao who came in.

"Buy some medicine."

"What do you want?"

"Angong Niuhuang Pills!"

Xu Damao immediately mentioned the Angong Niuhuang Pills that were very famous on the Internet in his previous life.

In his previous life, Xu Damao often surfed the Internet and saw many examples of Angong Niuhuang Pills being auctioned at sky-high prices.

Among them, a pill of Angong Niuhuang Pill produced in the 1960s was sold at a high price of 11W!

Those from the 1970s and 1980s could be sold for tens of thousands of dollars. At that time, these Angong Niuhuang Pills contained rhinoceros horn.

There are also people on the Internet who are skeptical about these pills, saying that after such a long time, has the efficacy of the medicine disappeared with the passage of time?

The answer given by many people is that the medicine is no longer effective or its effectiveness is greatly reduced.

But, do so many rich people buy this just for collection? Everyone knows that these pills are kept for the last breath of life, and those rich people are not fools!

Having just acquired a Sumatran rhino horn cup from the late Ming Dynasty yesterday, Xu Damao was thinking of buying some Angong Niuhuang Pills today.

"Eh? How do you know about this pill? It's only been a few years since it was circulated!"

The waiter was a little surprised when he saw Xu Damao's simple dress.

After all, Angong Niuhuang Wan was a secret medicine made in the palace during the Qing Dynasty. It was not until the Republic of China period that it was circulated and few people knew about it.

"Don't worry about how I know this. Do you have this thing? If you have it, bring it up."

Seeing his colleague questioning him, Xu Damao urged him unhappily.

"How much do you want? These pills are not cheap."

"How much is one? Take twenty first."

Xu Damao had money on him, so he was not worried.

"What? You need so much. Please wait a moment, sir. I'll get it."

After a while, the waiter came back with a tray. On it were exactly twenty small boxes, corresponding to the twenty Angong Niuhuang Pills that Xu Damao had ordered.

The box is made of red cloth. When you open the lid, you will see a layer of silk wrapped inside, which further increases the value of this thing.

When you lift up the silk, you will see a white wax ball. The next step is to pay the money before you can continue the process.

"How much does one cost?"

"Seven dollars a pop!"
