After lunch, the master and apprentice were chatting in the store. Liu Yingying opened the door and walked in. Her face was flushed and she smelled clearly of alcohol.
Yanagawa Kei suddenly frowned and said unhappily: "What kind of drink can a girl drink? It's still hot weather. What if something happens?"
"Dad, today is a dinner party for our classmates. In the next few days, everyone will go their separate ways and it will be difficult to get together, so I couldn't help but drink a few drinks because I felt sad. I was supposed to go singing after dinner, so I didn't go. came back."
"If you have to drink in the future, let us know in advance."
"Dad, don't worry, I will always remember those words I just said." Liu Yingying was not drunk, just a little drunk. She sat on the chair next to Li Mo, "Xiao Mo, do you think I will meet when we have dinner today?" Who is it?"
How could Li Mo guess this from such a clueless question.
"You never would have imagined that we actually met the big star Qin Sirui. They must be having a dinner party with the crew, right next to our box."
Liu Yingying took out her mobile phone and opened a photo and said excitedly: "This is a group photo we took. Qin Sirui is more beautiful in real life than on TV. Look at her little face and her skin. I am so envious of her."
Li Mo looked at the photo. Qin Sirui's face had a bit more smile and was less cold than before.
"Look again, isn't this Qin Sirui particularly beautiful?"
"Can I say that I am blind?" Li Mo knew that this question was a trap. If he gave a good answer, Liu Yingying would say that you men are vulgar; if the answer was not good, or average, she would say that you are hypocritical. He had experienced similar torture, so now that he encountered this problem, he also learned to do Tai Chi.
"You're smart enough not to be blinded by beauty." Liu Yingying opened a bottle of mineral water and drank it non-stop.
"Drink slowly, no one will compete with you."
Yanagawa Keizhen was so worried that his daughter would choke even when she drank water.
Ding, the wind chime at the door rang, and someone pushed the door open and walked in. It was an old man collecting second-hand goods. Li Mo often sees him, and he hangs around this area every day.
"Uncle, are you okay?"
The old man's clothes were soaked with sweat. He wiped the sweat on his head with the towel hanging around his neck and said a little uneasily: "Little boss, I received something in an old house yesterday. It's quite big. , just like a round table. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first, but when I went back to clean it up at night, the more I looked at it, the more I felt it was something fishy, and it didn’t look like an ordinary thing. So I came over and asked the little boss if he had time to take a look."
"Uncle, why are you looking for Xiao Mo?" Liu Yingying asked curiously.
The old man smiled honestly and said: "I have been collecting used goods here for more than ten years. Every time I see this little boss, he will take the initiative to say hello to me. He never looks down on me. I believe it." He, that’s why he came over to ask the little boss to help me take a look.”
Anyway, it's okay now. Li Mo didn't think too much. He took two bottles of water, gave one to the old man and said, "Uncle, is it close to here? If it is, we will go there now."
"It's almost twenty minutes' walk, little boss, I'm really troubling you."
The place where the elderly live is also an old house. This area cannot be demolished due to historical reasons, so it forms a very special urban village, which has been planned to become an ancient village tourist attraction.
I followed the old man through several alleys and finally arrived at the place where he lived. It was a small yard filled with all kinds of old goods, such as waste paper boxes, scrap iron and copper, scrapped electrical appliances and books. .
"Uncle, the temperature outside is so high now. If you pile up so many waste papers and books, be careful of causing a fire."
Li Mo kindly reminded him that this matter should not be taken carelessly.
"You're right, little boss. Usually I sort out the used goods I receive that day and sell them the next day. Didn't I encounter that strange thing last night? I didn't go there today. Little boss, that thing is bigger It’s big and conspicuous, so I put it in the house.”
"Go inside and have a look."
The old man unlocked the door and opened it. The house was tidy and there was no smell. There was a round object lying in the hall of the house, about 1.4 meters in diameter. The surface was covered with dirt and there was a little light green substance that was not evenly distributed.
Out of instinct, Li Mo's first thought was that the green substance should be copper rust.
"Little boss, do you see anything special about this?"
Li Mo squatted down and wiped the surface with his hands. The dirt turned out to be the result of oxidation after being exposed to the air for a long time. If you look closely, you can see a faint golden color peeking out from under the dirt. Grainfly
"Is this made of copper?"
Li Mo immediately denied this speculation. The color of copper was reddish rather than golden.
I scanned the surface and found two thumb-thick holes very close to each other. They should be used to thread ropes and hang them up.
"Uncle, is there a pattern on the back of this thing?"
"Yes, I'll turn it over."
"I'll do it." Li Mo grabbed the edge and turned it over easily. This round thing weighed quite a bit, weighing about 150 kilograms.
After turning it over, Li Mo saw that the surface was actually carved with animal patterns. He counted exactly twelve animals, and they happened to correspond to the twelve zodiac signs.
"Little boss, do you think this looks like an antique?"
The old man asked in a low voice with a little hope.
Li Mo did not answer immediately, but used his special pupils. When his sight easily penetrated the round thing, a golden and darker halo suddenly came out, forming a circle of light that spread out.
The color of this halo is between purple gold and gold. According to the time, it should be the period of transition from the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty.
Things have become big. This thing is not only an antique, but it may also have a great origin. Because in his strange eyes, this round thing is more like a huge gong. The materials for casting the gong are mainly gold and copper, but the specific composition ratio is unclear.
Regardless of the gold ratio, it was stipulated in the Qin Dynasty that gold was listed on the currency, and its value was extremely high. It is difficult to imagine who could have such a big deal during the transitional period between Qin and Han Dynasty, using gold and copper to cast such a large gong. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is extremely luxurious.
A person with such a generous hand is definitely not an unknown person in history.
"Little boss, little boss."
The old man pushed Li Mo gently, and Li Mo came back to his senses.
"Little boss, can you tell anything about this thing?"
Li Mo calmed down and said, "Uncle, do you really believe me?"
"If I don't believe you, I won't come to you directly." The old man didn't dodge his eyes. This was true.
"Uncle, this thing that looks like a huge gong is an antique, but I don't know what it is yet, and it's hard to confirm how valuable it is, but I'm sure it contains gold and copper."
"Golden ingredient?"
The old man guessed that it might be an antique, but he never guessed that it was made of gold and copper.
"Uncle, what are you going to do with this thing?"
"Little boss, to be honest, I bought it for ten yuan per unit. The owner of the house is also a lonely old man, almost 80 years old. I heard that his son bought this thing from other places more than 20 years ago. Yes, later my son died in an accident, and this thing has been kept in the old house."
"He didn't know what it was. Because he was old and his legs and feet were inconvenient, he just got rid of it casually so as not to keep it at home."
The old man paused for a moment before continuing: "Little boss, are you willing to accept this antique?"
"I can accept it, but I don't know the specific price. Uncle, we don't know how much gold is in it. Maybe the gold alone is very valuable, not to mention it's an antique."
The old man thought for a while, stretched out his right hand and said: "Little boss, if you are willing to pay 500,000 yuan, I will transfer it to you. Even if it is worth a fortune in the future, I will not regret it."
Five hundred thousand is really not much. Even as an antique, it is far more than this price.
