Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

After finally returning home, Uncle Guo discovered that Aunt Guo was not at home. She had left him a letter saying that she was going to stay at her daughter's house for two days.

Uncle Guo didn't care. As long as this thing was put up for auction, he would definitely make a profit, and a lot of money.

At this time, Han Chunming knocked on Uncle Guo's door.

When Uncle Guo opened the door, he saw that it was Han Chunming, and he felt like showing off.

"Chunming is here? Come in and sit down."

Han Chunming walked in.

"Just now my mother saw Aunt Guo crying and leaving. She was a little worried and asked me to come over and ask if everything was alright, Uncle Guo."

Uncle Guo said nonchalantly.

"It's okay. The old couple just had a few words. They will be fine in a couple of days."

Han Chunming didn't think much about it. Uncle Guo had a stubborn temper and had quarreled with Aunt Guo many times in his life. This was normal.

"I'm glad you're okay. Okay, I'll go back and tell my mom so she won't worry."

Uncle Guo grabbed Han Chunming.

"Chun Ming'er, since you are here, how about helping me take a look at this bottle?"

After saying that, he took the box out from the bed and opened it without waiting for Han Chunming to answer.

Han Chunming looked at the bottle in front of him, feeling a little curious but also a little undecided. He reached out and touched the mouth of the bottle, but felt the engraving under it.

Uncle Guo looked at Han Chunming nervously.

Han Chunming touched it for a while and then shook his head.

"Uncle Guo, something is not right."

Uncle Guo's heart skipped a beat, as if he had thought of something, and he immediately took out the certificate from the box.

"Chunming, look, this bottle has a certificate. They said it can be auctioned if you go there."

Han Chunming looked at it and put it down.

"Uncle Guo, this only proves that there is no problem with the machine inspection. It still needs to be inspected by professionals before it can be auctioned. They are much more accurate than machines. How much did you pay for this?"

Uncle Guo was a little overwhelmed.

"Thirty thousand, this is all my wealth, what if it's fake?"

Han Chunming felt a little sympathy for Grandpa Guo. After all, they had been neighbors for so many years and he had watched Han Chunming grow up, so he wanted to help him.

"How about this, Uncle Guo? I'll give you 30,000 yuan and you give me this bottle. How about that?"

Just as Uncle Guo was about to thank Han Chunming, he suddenly seemed to come to his senses.

"Okay, so you were waiting for me here. I said how could this certificate be fake? You are more accurate than the machine. You have no good intentions. If you get something good, you take it home. You want my bottle? No way. Get out of here."

Han Chunming wanted to explain himself, but Uncle Guo didn't give him a chance and kicked him out directly.

Han Chunming was knocking on the door outside.

"Uncle Guo, what I said was true. That was false. You were fooled."

Uncle Guo packed up the bottle and carried it back to bed.

"If I believed you, I would be fooled. You guys are all very smart."

There was no choice, Han Chunming could only go back.

And told Aunt Han about it.

Aunt Han sighed.

"This old man has been a stubborn person all his life. He always thinks that others want to harm him. Forget it, just ignore him."

After a while, Aunt Guo came back.

Aunt Han immediately took Aunt Guo back home and told her what had happened.

Aunt Guo was a little nervous because this was their life savings, which was to be used for their retirement.

I hurried back home and asked Uncle Guo what happened.

Uncle Guo drank his wine nonchalantly.

"Who told you this?"

Aunt Guo did not hide it either.

"That's what Chunming's mother said."

It seems to have been expected.

"Don't worry about this. The Han family is really interesting. Han Chunming just cheated me, and now her mother is cheating you again. What kind of people are they?"

Aunt Guo was a little confused.

"Old man, Chunming is someone we've watched grow up. He's not that kind of person. Why don't we sell it to him?"

Uncle Guo threw his chopsticks down.

"What do you know? Han Chunming saw that my bottle is valuable, so he played these tricks. If I give it to him, wouldn't I just fall for his trick? If everyone is as timid as you, then why would we bother to pick up bargains? Just pick up trash, you're guaranteed to make money."

Aunt Guo was provoked by Uncle Guo.

"Okay, I'll listen to you this time. When are you going to auction it? We don't have much money."

Uncle Guo felt relieved.

"Don't worry, I'll auction it tomorrow, and you can buy whatever you want then."

Aunt Guo smiled.

Uncle Guo said.

"Go buy me some pig's head to go with my wine."

Aunt Guo searched her pockets.

"Okay, I still have ten dollars, I'll buy you some pork head."

The next day, Grandpa Guo went out with the box. Fearing he might fall, he took a taxi and headed straight to the auction venue listed on the certificate.

After finally finding the manager of the auction house, Uncle Guo took out the certificate with a smile.

"Manager, look, this is the certificate. Is it from you?"

The manager took it out, looked at it, and nodded.

"It is indeed from our place. Do you mean to put it up for auction?"

Uncle Guo nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, yes, put it up for auction. I'm betting my entire fortune on it."

The manager nodded.

"Okay, old man, come with me and I'll take you to have it identified."

Uncle Guo's heart skipped a beat and he asked quickly.

"Manager, I have the certificate here, do I need it authenticated?"

The manager nodded.

"Machine identification can only prove that the material used to make the bottle is from that era, but it cannot prove that the bottle is from that era. Do you understand?"

Uncle Guo shook his head.

“I don’t understand!”

The manager explained.

"In fact, to put it bluntly, we are afraid that someone will use old things to make new things, in other words, fake things."

Uncle Guo's hands began to tremble.

"Manager, are you saying this might be fake?"

The manager nodded.

"It's just a possibility. After all, it still needs to be identified by professionals."

Uncle Guo's hands were shaking even more violently.

the manager said.

"If you trust me, how about I take it to you for identification?"

At this time, Uncle Guo had no choice but to pray that the bottle was real, so he nodded.

As expected, an accident happened.

Uncle Guo's heart sank to the bottom. After identification, it was found that the bottle was fake.

At the door of the auction house, Uncle Guo walked back holding the box like a zombie.

Cheng Jianjun had been waiting for him here for a long time.

"Uncle Guo, what's wrong with you?"

Uncle Guo came back to his senses.

"Jianjun, I'm done. I spent all my money on a fake product."

As he said this, Uncle Guo burst into tears.

Cheng Jianjun pretended to be sympathetic.

"Oh, Uncle Guo, you are too careless. Why didn't you ask Han Chunming to take a look? He is an expert in this field!"

At this time, Uncle Guo thought of Han Chunming.

"Chunming reminded me and asked me to sell the bottle to him, saying it was fake. I thought Chunming was trying to steal the bottle from me, so I chased him away."

Cheng Jianjun pretended to be heartbroken.

"Uncle Guo, what should we do? Oh, didn't you just say Chunming wanted to buy it? It's not too late for you to sell it to him now."

Uncle Guo thought, yes, if I sell it to Han Chunming now, I won’t suffer any loss, at least I can get my capital back.

Thinking of this, Uncle Guo did not hesitate and ran home immediately.

When Cheng Jianjun saw Uncle Guo running home without even saying hello, he snorted coldly and turned away.

Because Uncle Guo ran too fast, he fell and the bottle broke.

Uncle Guo wanted to die, so he bought a bottle of wine from a street vendor, drank it, and went home with the box.

Aunt Guo is still at home, anxiously waiting for Uncle Guo to come back.

But when I saw Uncle Guo coming back, he was still holding the box. When I opened it, I found that the bottle was broken.

"Old man, what's going on?"

Uncle Guo no longer concealed the truth and told Aunt Guo the whole story.

"Now, even the bottle is broken. How can I sell it to Chunming?"

Aunt Guo said while wiping her tears.

"I advised you to sell it to Chunming yesterday. Could he cheat us again? You refused to listen. Now look what happened. Everything is gone."

Uncle Guo was furious and cursed.

"Get lost. What's the point of saying this now? Get lost now."

Aunt Guo was packing her luggage.

"I'm leaving. You can go with Pingzi by yourself. I'm going to my daughter's house."
