Chapter 6: Two thousand was spent to purchase a piece of jade

... ...

"Go on, go inside and watch television." Sister Lu laughed as she ushered the two children in, then brought over a stool to sit on one side, smiling as she watched the two men argue passionately.

Lei Huanxi hurriedly said that he was busy washing vegetables and cooking, and before long, a rich aroma of meat filled the room

Sun Shuigen nodded silently

His alcohol tolerance was originally average, but on an empty stomach and drinking hastily, he quickly felt a bit tipsy. He patted his chest and said: "Brother Shui, Sister Lu, do not underestimate the youth in poverty, do you understand what I mean? Although I, Lei Huanshu, am currently as poor as a church mouse, there will come a day when I will strike it rich. When that time comes, I will definitely bring you along"

"No, dear brother, that is not what we mean, but this money..."

"Brother Shui, we are all poor. Besides, you have watched me grow up since I was little," Lei Huanxi said sincerely. "Now, everyone in the village who is about my age has left, and I can't really talk to the elders. I am more familiar with you all. Didn't you help me a lot when I was a child? What has changed now, that you are treating me differently?"

Little Fatty understood and weakly blinked his eyes once

Finally, the boss, feeling helpless, said with a bitter smile: "I give up, truly give up. I have been in this business for quite some time, and this is the first time I have encountered such a skilled negotiator as you. Fine, today we are fated to meet, I will sell it at a loss, but there is one condition: in the future, if you have any good items to sell, you must come to me first... Two thousand, you can take it!"

What is going on? Is the meat not tasty? Lei Huanxi took a bite, and it tastes good

Old Duan spoke as he took out a box, opened it, and inside was yellow satin. He casually picked a piece of jade from the stall and placed it inside.

The two individuals argued back and forth, and Lei Huanxi, showing signs of impatience several times, turned to leave, but was called back by the boss each time

Are you hungry

Tang and Song jade, Ming and Qing porcelain, you are an expert, you must know this. The boss said mysteriously: "The Tang Dynasty at that time was more powerful than today's America. Therefore, the jade works of the Tang Dynasty appear vigorous and grand... As for the quality of jade, it must be from the Song Dynasty. The people of the Song Dynasty were wealthy... However, most of the jade carvings from the Song Dynasty focused on ladies and flowers, which, while exquisite, lacked that kind of confidence and grandeur... You are an expert, can you tell which dynasty this jade is from?"

"Little Fatty, Little Fatty, I am back." Lei Huanxi said excitedly, "Look what I have brought for you! Soon there will be a big bowl of fragrant braised pork!"

Fortunately, upon arriving in Zhunan, Brother Hong happened to be returning to Yundong. Upon hearing that Lei Huanxi had an urgent matter, he simply took his own pickup truck and drove Lei Huanxi to Yundong.

Moreover, its originally white, almost transparent body has undergone a change, no longer being pure white, but rather a yellowish white.

After spending two hours at Sun Shuigen's home, I recalled that the glutton at my own home must be starving, so I hurried back home

Seeing that the other party accepted the money, Lei Huanxi was in high spirits, repeatedly raising his bowl and taking several large sips with Sun Shuigen

"The thunder is roaring, the thunder is roaring!" Sun Shuigen's two children poked their heads out of the house and shouted in unison

This time you have made a profit, having bought something for 50 yuan and sold it for 2000 yuan after a quick turnover

Although it is painful, the price has been reduced from 5000 to 2000, and I bought a piece of Tang Dynasty jade, which is worth it

This is not acceptable, it is too low, 4500

Little Fatty, wait for me here, I will help you find the jade

Do not worry, do not worry, I will prepare the meal for you right away

You are also a straightforward person, so I will offer you a low price of 5000

Little Fatty caught a whiff of the aroma. Originally, it only needed one leap to jump out of the basin, but this time it jumped several times in succession, yet still remained a considerable distance from the edge of the basin. Ultimately, it could only give up, lying there in a state of exhaustion.

Where can I find jade? It is certain that there is no jade market in Zhunan, so I can only go to the Sports Antiques Market now. Looking at the time, it is 3 PM, and I am not sure if I can make it in time.

Lei Huanxi probably had a rough idea in his mind, raising a finger: "One thousand!"

I believe it is from the Tang Dynasty

Upon arriving at the antique market, I quickly made my way to the jade trading stall. However, I suddenly remembered that I know nothing about jade.

"Hehe, just a foolish kid pretending to be an expert." Old Duan said with a smile.

Having paid happily, I took the jade and left the antique market with great satisfaction

2000 it is, in order to save Xiao Pang, there is no way to continue delaying time

The aroma wafted through the air as Lei Huanxi carefully lifted the little fatty out of the basin and placed a piece of meat near its mouth

As he spoke, he approached the basin, but upon taking just one glance, he discovered it was broken

Goodbye. Lei Huanxi put down the jade and was about to leave

A piece of jade from the Tang Dynasty has emerged again

Lei Huanxi was deeply worried that Xiao Pang might encounter trouble, not daring to hesitate for even a moment. He almost ran out of the village at full speed.

You see this. The boss carefully took out a box from under the stall

As it was opened, a layer of yellow satin was carefully peeled back, revealing an ancient jade before Lei Huanxi.

A large bowl of braised pork is ready

The owners of these antique stalls are generally like this; they are all in cahoots. When they encounter an outsider, they will strike hard, and the nearby owners will not only refrain from offering a warning but will even cooperate to put on a show.

"Look, you probably don't have anything impressive to show for it either." Lei Huanxi was desperately searching his mind for the scenes he had seen in antique dramas.

What is the fair price? I know how much this thing is worth

This brother, Lei Huanxi, is good at everything, but he is unwilling to be practical and often indulges in unrealistic daydreams

At first glance, he is clearly a wealthy second-generation rich kid; such people's money is meant to be taken advantage of

As soon as he left, the person at the stall next to the boss said, "Alright, Old Duan, you've tricked another one."

Little Fatty lay listlessly in the water, hearing the voice of Lei Huanxi, he merely lifted his head slightly before burying his entire body back into the water, refusing to move.

How would your family know about Brother Huanxi?

"Come on, you're just bragging. If you keep this up, you'll really become a big talker." Sun Shuigen, feeling the effects of the alcohol, even gave Lei Huanshi a nickname: "You’ve only made a little money and you’re already talking about getting rich? What wealth are you talking about? It’s much better for us to work honestly than anything else. Huanshi, I have a good relationship with our foreman. Tomorrow I’ll go and talk to him for you about getting a job at the cement factory. At least that’s a way to make some money!"

Lei Huanxi coldly smiled and said: "Boss, you are the seller, and I am the buyer. Where is the logic in a seller making an offer? Just state a price honestly, and if it suits me, I will take it."

... ...

Suddenly recalling the time in the Peach Garden, after the little fat one secreted that drop of golden yellow liquid, he also appeared quite exhausted, and he showed great interest in the jade around his neck

Feigning a nonchalant demeanor, I approached a stall, casually picked up a piece of jade, glanced at it indifferently, and then carelessly set it down, saying: "It's a replica"

That drop of golden liquid is undoubtedly something very precious within the body of the little fatty; once it is secreted, it requires the spiritual energy of jade as a supplement

After getting off the car, I hurriedly said thank you and quickly hailed a taxi heading straight for the Yundong Antique Market

Do not say that someone like Lei Huanxi is truly an outsider; even among those who are genuinely knowledgeable, there are not a few who have faltered here.

"Expert, a true expert!" The boss gave a thumbs up and said, "This is genuine Tang Dynasty merchandise, a worthless trinket that lacks appreciation, probably stolen from home to sell. You are the expert, and I wouldn't dare deceive you. If you like it, name your price, and I will part with it."

"Brother Shui, Sister Lu, are you treating me like an outsider?" Lei Huanxi was displeased: "I have often taken advantage of your hospitality at your home, and now that I have earned a little money, what’s the matter? Do you look down on me? If this is the case, I won’t come again in the future"

"Don't believe me? Don't believe me?" Lei Huanxi said with red eyes: "Just wait, just wait, when I, Lei Huanxi, return wearing designer brands and driving a BMW, let's see who still dares to call me Lei Dazui!"

Jade! It must be because of the jade!

One must pose as an expert in the antique market

The boss's expression suddenly changed: "You are not here to buy jade, but to cause trouble, aren't you"

Just one thousand, if you want to sell it to me, I will buy it

"Please, please, do not leave." The boss hurriedly called him back: "I said for you to speak, yet you remain silent. Now, how much are you offering?"

"Oh, you truly are an expert." The boss stood up with a beaming smile and said, "This is indeed a replica, it can fool those amateurs, but someone like you cannot be deceived. I have some good items here, would you like to take a look?"

Lei Huanxi pretended to pick up the piece of jade and examined it. Carved on it was a phoenix. He recalled what the boss had just said, that most jade carvings from the Song Dynasty primarily featured ladies and floral designs, and he randomly guessed at it.

Little Fatty opened his mouth to eat, still displaying that gluttonous demeanor from before. However, after just one bite, he unexpectedly spat it out, lying limply beside the meat, as if he had no strength left at all
