When everyone saw the complete Yongle Golden Crown, everyone was stunned.

Don’t dare to breathe loudly!

"How about it? It can be called a national treasure, right?" Mr. Qi gave up his seat and said proudly while packing his tools:

"There is no such golden crown even in the Forbidden City... Alas!"

Zhu Yu couldn't help but said:

"In the past, I only knew what the idiom "wonderful craftsmanship" means, but today I saw it for real... This thing is so good! Old man, your craftsmanship is also very good!"

Mr. Qi laughed loudly:

"Young man, I love hearing what you say! Just what you say is worth a glass of wine today..."

"Who wants to drink?" the old woman's voice sounded outside, "Why do you want to drink today?"

Usually when the old man hears this from a woman, he usually has to cover it up. The wife is in charge of the wine and is generally not allowed to drink it.

But today Mr. Qi said in a cheerful voice:

"I took on a big job today! Although the customer won't let me know, this treasure has been restored. I'm so happy that it's worth a glass of wine!"

Hearing what the old man said, the woman smiled and said:

"Okay, I just happened to buy some river fish today, so I can prepare a meal for you."

When the old man heard this, his expression was so beautiful!

"Then old man, how much will the repair cost? I'll forward it to you now." Zhu Yu put the golden crown in a box and said, "We won't bother you anymore..."

"No money!" Mr. Qi waved his hand, "The fact that you asked me to repair this treasure is already a sign of your trust in me. I am satisfied that I can see such a national treasure in my lifetime!

"

Zhu Yu wanted to persuade him, but the old man smiled:

"I thought that if I retreated, it would not be easy to see good things in the future. It turned out that I saw them there every day and didn't think it was a big deal. Now that I have gone out and I haven't seen them for a day, I still feel panicked.

Young man, I don’t want the money, but I know you are capable. If you have similar things in the future, as long as it’s gold or silverware that needs to be repaired, and it’s about the same level, you can just bring it to me, okay?”

"That's definitely no problem!" Zhu Yu smiled, "That's what I want!"

Since the old man didn't want money, Zhu Yu didn't show any pretense and stopped talking about this matter.

The group of people said goodbye and left, and the old man didn't leave any food - if there were only one or two people, the food cooked by my wife would definitely not be enough for this group of people.

Zhu Yu and the others left. The old man packed up his things and came out to wash his hands. Seeing that the food was already on the dining table, he sat down directly.

My wife took the initiative to pour the wine, and the old man had a nice drink, and then said:

"Honey, have another drink!"

"What makes you so happy?" My wife didn't try to dissuade her, so she poured another glass and screwed the cap on.

"I took on a big job today." The old man said with a smile on his face, "Happy!"

"What makes such a great job so fun?" My wife also saw so many people just now, and she also saw Zhu Yu carrying a box out. The young people were very polite, but she still felt a little sorry - she couldn't keep anyone to eat.

"This is what I'm wearing." The old man pointed to his head, "This is the second one in the whole country. It's more awesome than the first one!"

"So awesome!" My wife has heard similar things too many times, and some things she doesn't know enough to ask in detail, "Then you won't go out, right?"

"Don't worry. This young man is great. He brings things from outside into the country. Many of them are national treasures. He's a good young man!"

"Okay, okay, that's a good thing. You must not have received any money...don't just drink, eat and eat!"

The two of them were chatting and eating while Zhu Yu and the others left Qi's house and separated.

When they separated, Ye Shenghua was still a little reluctant:

"You just let me take a look again?"

"No. I have to go back. There will be a chance in the future." Zhu Yu smiled.

"There's a chance!" Ye Shenghua exposed his "lie" in one sentence, "You don't want to build a private museum, and this thing can't be carried around the country, so what do you think?"

"Come and see me when you have time." Zhu Yu said matter-of-factly, "Can't I just run to you?"

Next, Zhu Yu did not go back directly, but instead found experts to repair the two volumes of the Yongle Canon.

It was an old friendship, the other party was happy with it, and Zhu Yu was relieved.

There was no way to find old covers, so I had to make two copies as they were. Fortunately, the expert's workmanship was trustworthy, and Zhu Yu left with these two albums.

The other party also made a copy of the Yongle Ceremony and took it away.

By the time I got home, it was already more than half a month later.

My family is very adaptable to this kind of frequency. After all, it doesn't last long, just like a business trip.

The day after Zhu Yu returned home, he went to Guang'an's house.

"Xiaoyu, I heard Lao Meng say that this trip didn't go well?" Guang'an saw Zhu Yu and hurriedly moved to the small table under the grape trellis, poured tea and asked.

Almost every household in the village has set up grapes in the yard. When autumn comes, whoever owns the ripe grapes will eat it, and those with more ripe grapes will take the initiative to send them to other people's homes.

The feeling that if you don't accept it, you are looking down on me.

Those who make canned grapes or wine also come out to show off their craftsmanship, and will give each other gifts after they are finished.

It smells like Brother Xun eating broad beans.

Seeing Zhu Yu looking up at the grape trellis, Guang An smiled and said:

"Come to my place in a few days. I am growing seedless white grapes. There are only three grapevines in our village that grow them. I bought these grapevines from the Agricultural Science Institute. They are sweet and delicious!"

"Okay, I'll come over then." Zhu Yu likes to eat seedless white grapes. He doesn't need to spit out the seeds and can eat them in handfuls.

"It didn't go well indeed. Those old fools tried to deceive us, but we saw through it."

Zhu Yu guessed that Lao Meng was unlikely to tell Guang An about the gun battle, so he spoke vaguely, and then said seriously to Guang An:

"Brother Guang'an, I collected some good things during this trip and made a lot of money. I told you before about the agency fee..."

"Well, I know, I know." Guang'an said with a smile, "So I took the ten thousand, and I won't be polite to you. Lao Meng also said that you are upright."

"One code equals one code." Zhu Yu waved his hand, "That 10,000 yuan is just an information fee at best, but it is not enough. I will transfer another 100,000 yuan to you..."

"What?" Guang'an was startled, and then immediately waved his hand: "Xiaoyu, this is not a success! I just made one or two phone calls and said a few words. It's not worth so much. We don't have to do this..."

Zhu Yu smiled and said:

"Brother Guang'an, do you know how much I earned on this trip?"

"How much?" Guang'an asked, and then carefully guessed, "If you dare to give me one hundred thousand, then you must earn at least one or two million...this..."

Now he knows where Zhu Yu got his money.

"More than that, far more than that." Zhu Yu said with a smile, "So, you take this money, you deserve it. Without you, I wouldn't have this opportunity to make money."

Guang'an wanted to say more, Zhu Yu had already started transferring money on his mobile phone, and said while transferring:

"Our ancestors have said that we still have to abide by the rules. Otherwise, who will tell me such information in the future, right? Don't worry, I make a lot more than this."

After transferring the account, Zhu Yu said again:

"It's more convenient for us at home, and the money goes directly over there. Only when we go abroad do we realize how inconvenient it is over there...sigh."

Zhu Yu had already said this, and Guang'an no longer refused.

But honestly, it's like a dream.

If you grow cotton on contracted land, you may not be able to earn a net income of 100,000 yuan throughout the year.

When the price of cotton is high, you can almost earn this amount. If the price is low, even with the state's cotton subsidy, you will probably only earn 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, and you may even have to pay subsidies.

The price of cotton soared the year before last, and those with more contracted land could earn one million yuan a year. Last year, the price of contracted land doubled.

Then last year, the price of cotton almost halved, and 70% of the people in the village who contracted large areas of land lost money. The more land contracted, the more compensation they had to pay...

That’s a year’s hard work!

And with just a few words, I was able to earn 100,000...

When Zhu Yu left, Guang'an was still a little distraught.

When Guang'an's daughter-in-law came back from working in the cooperative field, she saw that Guang'an looked strange, so she asked him while changing clothes:

"What's wrong with you today? Why do you look like you've lost your soul?"

Guang'an didn't say anything and took out his mobile phone to show his wife Zhu Yu's transfer page.

"This is...hundred, thousand, ten thousand,...one hundred thousand?"

Guang'an's wife was also shocked when she looked at the numbers above!

"Why so many?"

She didn't know Zhu Yu was back yet.

"Xiaoyu said that he earned more from the information I gave him, which was the agency fee," Guang'an said.
