It was already afternoon when Xuan Qi came to Baota Village. In order to get on the way, he didn't even eat lunch, so he bought two pancakes on the road and filled his stomach with mineral water.

He rented a motorcycle and went directly to a house on the east side of Baota Village. He had been here before (in his previous life) and still had an impression.

This private house is building a new house. Their approach is to directly level a mountain behind the old house and build the new house behind it. Because the village is building roads and the road is widening, their old house is just in the middle of the road and needs to be demolished.

When Xuan Qi came to the door, the door of the house was open, and it was like this in the countryside. The doors were usually not closed during the day.

Seeing that there was no one in the hall, Xuan Qi shouted loudly at the door:

“Is anyone at home?”

He shouted twice before he saw a 14 or 15-year-old girl coming in from the inner room.

"Who are you looking for?"

Xuan Qi smiled at her and said, "Hello, I'm looking for your dad, I have some business to talk to him."

The little girl looked at him in confusion for a long time, as if thinking about the credibility of what this big boy, who looked no older than her, said.

"You wait here now, my dad is behind, so I'll call him over."

After the little girl left, a middle-aged man with dark skin soon came in through the back door of the house. Looking at him covered in soil, he should have been busy building the house just now.

"My son, are you asking me for trouble?" The middle-aged man said to Xuan Qi in local dialect.

"Hello, brother."

Xuan Qi used Mandarin. Although he could speak local language, he did not intend to do so. Speaking Mandarin can give people the feeling of a city-dollar person. It is even more convincing to spend money to buy this bottle.

In addition, Xuan Qi did not intend to reveal his identity as a person from the county, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble when others find out about this matter in the future.

"That's right. I heard from others that when your family was digging the earth, they dug some porcelain. I want to see it, is it done?"

The middle-aged man hesitated.

Seeing this, Xuan Qi hurriedly said, "That's right. My grandfather usually likes to collect these bottles and jars. This time he is about to have a 70th birthday, so I have been thinking about buying him a special gift. Last time I happened to hear a classmate in college talk about your village, so I came over with a try."

When the middle-aged man heard that Xuan Qi was a college student, his eyes suddenly became completely different when he looked at him. This idea was that the college student's signature was still very loud.

He smiled honestly and said, "Little brother, it's not as mysterious as it is from the outside. I did dig up things, but most of them are broken, and only one bottle is complete. Come with me, I'll take you to see it. By the way, just call me Lao Zhang."

Xuan Qi followed Lao Zhang and came to a dim little room in the inner room. He turned on the lights and saw that the ground inside the room was filled with various porcelain fragments, with yellow soil sticking to it.

After skimming these things, Xuan Qi saw the eight-edged jade pot spring bottle in the corner of the wall at a glance. The blue blue and white porcelain emitted a soft light under the light.

This bottle looks inconspicuous. The county town itself is famous for its porcelain and is known as the "Porcelain City". Therefore, many families in the countryside here have more or less a few vases and other porcelains. It seems that it is not very conspicuous when they dig out such a thing at home.

Xuan Qi deliberately looked at the fragments carefully on the ground, then shook his head and said to himself: "What a pity, they all broke. If they were not broken, they would still be worth some money."

Upon hearing this, Lao Zhang couldn't help but lift the eight-edged bottle from the corner, handed it to Xuan Qi casually, and said, "Brother, this bottle is the only one that is good. Can you see if it's worth it?"

When Xuan Qi saw him holding it casually, he felt a little worried, for fear that he would accidentally fail to hold it and smash the bottle, and his plan to make money would be ruined.

Xuan Qi suppressed his impulse and slowly took the eight-ring bottle, pretended to be a comment, then nodded and said, "Lao Zhang, you are rich, this bottle is a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Lao Zhang's face suddenly showed joy: "Really? Brother, do you know this bottle?"

Xuan Qi felt a little funny in his heart, Lao Zhang, I don’t know that you look honest on the outside, but in fact you are very smart? But today, I’m going to make the bottle.

Before coming here, Xuan Qi had already figured out how to use the method to buy the bottle from Lao Zhang. Every move he came here had his own profound meaning.

He had known for a long time that although Lao Zhang was a farmer, he looked honest and honest on the outside, but in fact he was also a unique shrewdness of Chinese farmers. Otherwise, he would not have sold this bottle to a high price of 10,000 yuan.

I said this on purpose just now, in order to win Lao Zhang's trust.

Xuan Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know this bottle, but I know that the craftsmanship of this bottle is from blue and white porcelain. It seems that it's still a few years old, it's an antique."

After hearing what he said, Lao Zhang felt relieved and smiled like a flower on his face. Since he dug up the bottle, he has been thinking about this matter in his heart and invited many people to see it. Although he had estimated the price for him, none of them could be so clear and relaxed as Xuan Qi said.

He knew that those people deliberately wanted to lower the price, so when the other party expressed his intention to buy it, he refused.

This guy is good and honest, Lao Zhang thought to himself.

Xuan Qi continued, "Old Zhang, let me tell you that I had seen a similar bottle at an auction in the provincial capital before. It was about the same size as this one. How much did you buy it at that time?"

Lao Zhang's eyes lit up: "How many?"

Xuan Qi stretched out his right hand and made a "eight" shape.

Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment and guessed: "Eight...Eight hundred?"

Xuan Qi shook his head and said, "Eight thousand! A bottle like this can be sold at a high price of eight thousand, which is unprecedented before."

A hint of ecstasy flashed in Lao Zhang's eyes. The price obviously exceeded his psychological price, and this was the first time he had obtained an accurate and convincing quote from others.

Xuan Qi's status in his eyes has also improved a lot with these words. He is a college student and is obviously a child of a rich family. He is young and has even participated in antique auctions. It's really not easy!

Lao Zhang had no idea that Xuan Qi's family was actually poorer than theirs. The new suit and leather shoes he had just bought from a department store to serve as a store.

Xuan Qi told him about the auction, which was to establish a price reference standard in his mind, which would subconsciously affect Lao Zhang's psychological price. The reason why it was not lowered was mainly to win the trust of Lao Zhang.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Xuan Qi showed a shy look on his face and said, "Old Zhang, I like this bottle very much. My main purpose of coming this time is to see if there is anything suitable. I wonder if you can give up and transfer it to me?"

Old Zhang hesitated again when he heard this. He looked at Xuan Qi: "This..."

"Don't worry, the price will definitely satisfy you." Xuan Qi said very generously, "To be honest, my grandfather used to be a professor of history in college. Now he is retired and he likes to tinker with these ancient things the most. Let's do this, Lao Zhang, you can offer a price."

"Brother, how much can you pay if you offer a price?" Lao Zhang kicked the ball over.

Xuan Qi smiled and said, "You have to offer a price more appropriately. You don't have any psychological burden. We are doing business, and it is important to be in love and willingness. If you can't make a business, you will be righteous."

Seeing that he said this, Lao Zhang stopped shirking and said, "Ten thousand, a bargain price!"

When Xuan Qi heard this, he was silent.

He frowned and didn't say anything, but kept looking at the bottle in his hand, looking over and over, as if he was having a fierce struggle inside.

The air around seemed to become sticky, making people feel a little depressed.

After about a few minutes of this, Lao Zhang finally couldn't help it: "How is it? If you agree, this bottle will belong to you."

Country people like to be rude, and once he decides something, it will not change easily. Lao Zhang's current mentality is the same. He has already determined that the bottle is worth 10,000. Even if he bargains with him for 100, he will not agree. If he bargains with him, he may rather not sell it.

The time has come. Xuan Qi waited until now, just because he was afraid that he would see that he wanted to buy this thing, so he asked for a price all over the place. Now he didn't have to wait and speak again, and it was almost done.

So he said, "To be honest, this price is a bit beyond my psychological price, but my grandfather's birthday will be in a few days. I'm not going to find such a suitable gift for a while... Let's do this, I'll pick a few pieces from the pieces on the ground, add this bottle, and a total of 10,000 yuan. Do you think it's true?"

When Lao Zhang saw him nodding, he felt relieved and said generously: "Okay, you can choose whatever you want!"

Xuan Qi's words made Lao Zhang feel very comfortable, as if he had taken advantage of the other party.

Xuan Qi pretended to pick a few pieces, and then asked Lao Zhang to pack it in a bag. The bottle was found by Lao Zhang. He made a suitable long and narrow cardboard box and put it in.

Originally, Lao Zhang thought Xuan Qi was going to withdraw money temporarily, but he didn't expect that Xuan Qi took out a stack of old man's heads from his pocket.

Lao Zhang didn't think much about it. The transaction went smoothly. Both parties were very satisfied. After shook hands with each other, they divided the things.

Xuan Qi carried these things and walked towards the town, planning to rent a motorcycle and go directly to the county town, and then go back.

When he walked to a place where Lao Zhang could not see, he threw away the broken porcelain pieces and accelerated his pace. However, he didn't go far, but heard someone shouting behind him:
Chapter completed!
