It was past four o'clock in the afternoon. Li Mo was still energetic, but Cai Cai was already showing signs of fatigue. How could she have Li Mo's physical fitness?

"Cai Cai, here are the various pastries I bought for you. If you are hungry at night, don't go out alone for supper. Here are the braised pig trotters, spicy pig tails, five-spice beef, and shredded chicken. You can keep it in the refrigerator for two days. . Next time we meet again, I’ll treat you to seafood hot pot.”

Li Mo put Cai Cai into the taxi, put a lot of things he bought on the back seat of the car, and took out another three hundred yuan and gave it to the driver.

"Master, please send my sister home safely."

The driver smiled and narrowed his eyes. According to the distance, the maximum was more than 100 yuan. This trip made a lot of money.

"Hero, do you treat me like a pig?" Cai Caitou stretched out his hand and complained a little.

"Pigs are much easier to raise than you. Goodbye!"

"Hero, can't you really give me your mobile phone number?"

Li Mo waved to her, saying that we would meet again if we were destined, so that there would be a surprise next time.

After the taxi disappeared on the street, Li Mo turned around and walked into the main street of Panjiayuan. After shopping for four or five hours, he visited more than half of the stalls outside. Except for the rhinoceros horn cup, he didn't encounter anything good.

Take advantage of the sunset before going to visit other places.

Li Mo walked into a store. It was not large, smaller than his master's Gu Yunxuan, but it sold more categories. At a glance, there are porcelain and four treasures of the study on the ancient shelves, calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, jade, gold and silver jewelry and agate jewelry on display on the counter.

At this moment, there are three waves of customers in the store, mainly looking at gold, silver and agate jewelry. The two men in their thirties who received them were very professional. They not only introduced the quality of the jewelry carefully, but also made matching suggestions for the guests.

Li Mo was not interested in those gadgets. He glanced at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. Although the calligraphy and painting looked old, with his eyesight, he could still initially recognize the value of the calligraphy and painting even without using the power of his special pupils.

The calligraphy and painting also look old and of little value.

Li Mo's eyes moved to the Four Treasures of the Study. Pens, inks, paper and inkstones have always been the favorites of literati. In ancient times, even if you couldn't read Chinese characters, having a set of the Four Treasures of the Study in your home study would greatly enhance your style.

It is a pity that the Four Treasures of the Study on the ancient bookshelf are really ordinary, and can only be regarded as average among modern products.

Li Mo was a little disappointed. This was a shop on the main street of Panjiayuan, and the things inside were just misleading. He suspected that the gold, silver, and agate jewelry displayed on the counter had a lot of moisture.

Finally, my eyes fell on those porcelains. They were boring. They were much inferior to the high-quality imitations in Gu Yunxuan. I looked around but didn't see anything of any value.

"Maybe the good stuff is being put away."

Li Mo thought to himself that he was ready to leave. His eyes followed the book shelf to the door. In the corner near the door were several bottles on the ground with fake flowers and some calligraphy and paintings inserted in them.

One of the amphorae, which was more than sixty centimeters high and twenty centimeters in diameter, caught his attention. The black luster felt weird, and even if there were shadows, he could tell that the black glaze was very thick.

He had already walked to the door, and happened to see a ray of sunlight shining on the amphora through the crack in the door. Then his steps suddenly stopped, and an incredible light appeared in his eyes.

The sun shines on the bottle, and the black glaze actually shows cyan color after the light is refracted.

Yes, that touch of cyan made Li Mo's eyes widen. The amphora on the ground was not black at all, but the cyan was too strong and too thick. In addition, there was insufficient light and dark shadows, making it look like black at first glance.

Li Mo used his special eyes to look at it, and saw that the inconspicuous amphorae actually emitted dark blue light, forming circles of light that spread infinitely around.

The small shop space is rendered into a beautiful dark blue by three to four hundred apertures.

Oh my god, that dark-looking amphora that was placed on the ground like rubbish turned out to be of great origin and priceless value. Based on his experience, he concluded that it must be related to the royal family of a certain dynasty.

His abnormal pupils can be dated from generation to generation. If they are worthless, they will show a clear light. If they are valuable, such as those from the Republic of China to the present, they will show a white light. As time goes by, the color will become darker. During the Qing Dynasty, they will show a gray color. What we see today is a blue luster, indicating that it was still before the Qing Dynasty.

Li Mo's eyes focused again, and his sight suddenly penetrated the aperture and fell on the bottle. The deep black celadon glaze changed again. He saw a three-clawed dragon hiding in it, circling around the bottle. The dragon Ferocious and imposing.

There is a dragon pattern, which is used by the royal family.

There is also a line of large seal characters faintly close to the mouth of the bottle. Since the color of the three-clawed dragon and the font have blended into the overall glaze, it is impossible to distinguish it.

Li Mo continued to look deeper, and he saw that the exposed carcass at the bottom of the bottle had an obvious red color, which was flint red spots. According to his research on porcelain from various dynasties, this flint red spot is a distinctive feature of Ming Dynasty porcelain.

This is not an ordinary black vase with two ears at all, but a two-eared celadon vase specially used by the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. However, with his knowledge, he still cannot figure out why there is such a unique and strange celadon vase remaining in the world and ignored by the world. It is simply a miracle that it can be preserved so well at the same time.

Li Mo withdrew his gaze, shouting in his heart that no matter what means he used, he must get rid of this Ming Dynasty royal celadon vase and find out the secret hidden in it.

He turned and walked back to the counter.

"Sir, do you want to buy something?" A clerk asked with a smile. He had been explaining agate bracelets to a couple before. Unfortunately, it was a waste of time. When the couple heard the price, they said they couldn't afford it.

However, out of professionalism, he still maintained a good service attitude towards Li Mo.

"It's my parents' 20th wedding anniversary, and I want to give them some gifts. I originally wanted to choose something like calligraphy and painting, but I thought it was too old-fashioned and vulgar, so I decided to give them something meaningful."

"Then what is Mr. Fancy interested in? Let me introduce it to you."

Li Mo pouted, looked at the glass counter and said, "Gold jewelry is good."

The male clerk was obviously taken aback. The calligraphy and painting were too vulgar and old-fashioned, but gold has connotation. Brother, your thoughts are so different.

"They're all pure gold, right?"

"It's necessary. If you leave it, you'll get ten cents for it." The male clerk promised in a hurry.

Li Mo nodded, and after looking at it for a few minutes, he said: "This pair of exquisite bracelets, this necklace with this chrysanthemum pendant, and this pair of round bead earrings. By the way, this pair of rings that match men and women." Yes, yes. First of all, how many do you count in total?"

The male clerk was smiling broadly, judging by his visual inspection, the business was quite big. He hurriedly brought the calculator, and after a pleasant beeping sound he said: "These are 72 grams in total, the market price is 430 yuan per gram, and the manual fee is 68 yuan per gram, the total is 490 yuan per gram. Eighteen yuan. Sir, the jewelry you selected totals thirty-five thousand eight hundred and fifty-six yuan."

Li Mo calmly took out the eye-catching black gold card from his wallet and put it on the counter table. As expected, the male clerk's eyes were even brighter.

"Are there any gifts if I buy so many? For example, a painting or something?"

"Sorry sir, every painting hanging in our store is a fine product, and the selling price is more expensive than your jewelry."

Li Mo despised him in his heart, but still had a surprised expression on his face: "It's so expensive! Are there any other gifts?"

"I'm sorry, sir, our store has a discount that will give you a piece of jade when you spend over 50,000 yuan. Do you want to choose something?"

"Good jade is quite expensive. If you give it as a gift, it is definitely not of good quality. I don't want it. Wearing it will harm your health." Li Mo shook his head and looked at the things on the shelf. "I'll choose again. Can you see if I can Pick a freebie on there?”

"Sir, you don't know something. Any piece of porcelain on that shelf costs hundreds of thousands, and the most expensive one costs more than three hundred thousand." The male clerk's eyes looked a little strange.

Li Mo curled his lips, looked around, and finally looked at a few bottles in the corner behind the door. He pointed and said, "The pile thrown on the ground is worth tens of thousands. I don't believe you treat it as garbage." It’s also a baby.”

"Sir, you guessed it right. Although those are not good things, if you sell them casually, they will cost at least two thousand."

Li Mo sighed and said, "I won't take advantage of you at all."

"If you spend more than 50,000 yuan, I will apply to the boss to pick one for you, which is equivalent to giving you an extra discount of more than 1,000 yuan. How do you think this is sincerity?"

Li Mo hesitated.

"There has never been a discount like this before. I have to risk being scolded by my boss to apply for the discount. I am sincere."

"Yes, if you are happy, I will be happy too, including the thickest necklace."

Li Mo swiped the card with a big wave of his hand, then pulled out a bouquet of fake flowers on the countertop and said, "Give me that black bottle. This bouquet of flowers will fit on the bookcase as decoration."

The guests next to him all looked at each other. This guy looked quite young, but he was very generous with his actions. He was either the second generation or the third generation of rich people, unlike them who had to be very careful when buying a bracelet.

As for the male clerk, he almost smiled crookedly. He thought to himself that this guy was really greedy for small gains and suffered a big loss. He actually spent more than 50,000 yuan in one go for a garbage black bottle and a bouquet of fake flowers. He should have been tricked into buying more just now.
