American Super Rancher

Chapter 3 The First Treasure Hunt

Just as Qin Xu was about to make a call, urging that David lawyer, the phone rang first!

After seeing the calling number, Qin Xu remembered that today he promised to help Xu Mengyao move.

"Hey, senior, when do you have time to come over? I've packed everything here."

Picking up the phone, before Qin Xu could speak, Xu Mengyao's brisk voice came from the opposite side.

Qin Xu felt itchy in his heart, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I'll be there right away, 10 minutes at most."

After saying a few more words and hanging up the phone, Qin Xu looked at Xiao Feifei who appeared in front of him, and asked:

"Feifei, where do you usually stay? Can others see you?"

"Master, I'm usually in the pet space, and others can't see Feifei, so I'll leave first. The master can just call Feifei in his heart if he has something to do."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Qin Xu to react, it disappeared with a swipe.

Qin Xu was stunned for a long time, and finally pinched his leg hard.

"Hiss, it hurts so much, it doesn't look like I'm dreaming."

Qin Xu bared his teeth in pain while cleaning up his image,

Although I'm going to do coolies today, I still have to have a good image, don't I?

When Qin Xu arrived downstairs at Xu Mengyao's house, it was exactly 10 minutes.

Going upstairs and knocking on the door, Xu Mengyao came over and opened the door.

Today's Xu Mengyao, probably because of her desire to move, did not wear a skirt as usual.

Instead, she wore a pair of skinny jeans, which made her thin legs look particularly slender and straight.

She wore a loose long-inch shirt on her upper body. Although it was loose, it still couldn't hide her graceful figure.

The hem of the inch shirt is tied with a knot at the waist, making it more capable.

On the feet are a pair of flat sneakers, the whole person looks youthful and flying, which makes people feel good at first sight.

"Senior, I'm sorry to trouble you. My side is due. I found a room near the company."

Xu Mengyao blushed a little and said, she didn't know if she was embarrassed to bother Qin Xu, or there was some other reason.

"It's okay, I'm fine today anyway, just don't forget to treat me to dinner."

Qin Xu said something slightly teasing, seeing Xu Mengyao smiled at him, his bones were a little crisp.

He hurried in and saw that everything was packed, so he asked her;

"When will the car you ordered come?"

Xu Mengyao raised her wrist to look at the time,

"Hurry up, I just said it's coming soon!"

Just as he was talking, he heard a knock on the door.

Qin Xu walked over and opened the door to have a look.Sure enough, the people from the moving company came.

After a lot of busy work, it was already past twelve o'clock when everything was sorted out when I moved there.

Looking at Xu Mengyao's sweaty forehead, Qin Xu didn't bother her to tidy up her things, but looked at Xu Mengyao's new home.

This is a small two-bedroom, one-living room located in the urban area. The room is small in size, but the decoration is extraordinarily delicate.

It seems that Xu Mengyao's family conditions are good, so the rent of such a good house is not cheap, right?
However, Qin Xu thinks about the amount of money he will get tomorrow,

Suddenly, I felt that I was getting closer and closer to marrying Bai Fumei and reaching the pinnacle of life.

By the time everything was done, it was past one o'clock, and I looked at the small room with a brand new look.

Xu Mengyao yelled while clutching her belly:

"I'm starving to death, senior, thank you today, in order to thank you, I invite you to have a big meal!"

"Hey, I can eat very well, be careful to eat you poor."

Qin Xu looked at her cute appearance and smiled maliciously.

The two walked downstairs talking and laughing. Although they said so, Qin Xu still found a restaurant like home.

After all, it's really embarrassing to ask a girl to treat you.

Although Xu Mengyao kept clamoring to treat Qin Xu to a good meal, he still didn't persuade Qin Xu, so he had to eat something casually.

When the two of them finished eating and were about to leave, Xu Mengyao still looked a little sullen, but the pouting appearance was extremely cute.

Just when Qin Xu was about to talk to tease her, Feifei's voice suddenly came from his ear
"Ding, master, the branch task is released: the first trial of treasure hunting,

Task content: There is a valuable treasure within one kilometer of you, please find it within one hour.

Task reward: 3000 ranch points, treasure hunting skill upgraded to intermediate level.

Mission failed: Unable to use Treasure Hunt for a month"

Qin Xu paused, looked up and looked around.

There is nothing special around, but it is a very lively street in front of them.

Qin Xu looked at Xu Mengyao next to him,
"Mengyao, what kind of street is this? It's so lively!"

When Xu Mengyao heard the words, she also looked up and said:

"This is a famous antique jade street in the south of the Yangtze River. It specializes in antique jade articles. Would you like to go and have a look together? It happens that my grandfather will celebrate his 60th birthday in a few days. I am worried about what gift to give."

"Okay. Let's go shopping. Anyway, I'm fine in the afternoon."

Qin Xu finished speaking.The two of them raised their feet and walked towards the antique street,

Waited until the door.Looking at the bustling crowd, Xu Mengyao also forgot to be angry, and explained with a smile:
"This is the largest antique trading market in Jiangnan City. Although it is so lively, there are mostly handicrafts."

"Crafts?" Qin Xu looked at her suspiciously.

Xu Mengyao got closer and whispered, "It's just a counterfeit, a fake."

Qin Xu was a little dumbfounded, "That's okay, blatantly fake?"

Xu Mengyao smiled and waved her little hand,
"It's not called counterfeiting. If you buy a fake, you can only count yourself as an eye-catcher. Besides, there is no real or fake in antiques. It can only be said that the age is not old enough."

Qin Xu is completely convinced, how tricky is this?

With so many counterfeit ones, one who doesn’t pay attention will lose a lot. No wonder it is said that antiques are the playthings of rich people.
While talking, Qin Xu and the two had already entered the trading market. Looking at the bustling crowd and the shouts of the surrounding vendors, it seemed extremely lively.

Qin Xu asked in his mind: "Feifei, how to use the treasure hunting technique?"

"Idiot master, read it silently."

Hearing Feifei's giggling and laughing voice, Qin Xu's hair was blackened.

"This girl is getting bolder and bolder"

Ignoring Feifei's laughter, Qin Xu meditated to use the treasure hunting technique in his heart.

In an instant, I saw the screen in front of me turn around, and a small street stall appeared.

The stall owner is a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. There are a lot of odds and ends on the stall, and there is actually a Jade Guanyin among them.

Treasure Hunt selected.It was a black inkstone.Because the distance is still far away, the treasure hunting technique did not reveal what it was.

Qin Xu brought Xu Mengyao to the stall following the instructions of the treasure hunting technique.

When they arrived, there was already an old man in a tunic suit in front of the stall,

The old man looks like he is in his 60s and is well maintained.

Qin Xu and the two stood by and watched for a while.

It turned out that the old man was looking at the Jade Guanyin very carefully.

After looking at it for a while, seeing that the old man had no intention of leaving, Qin Xu squatted down beside him, pretending to be casually rummaging through it, making it look like a novice.

Um, Qin Xu is indeed a novice.

Up to now, Qin Xu hasn't figured out what the treasure hunting technique found, it looks like an inkstone.

When I opened the Treasure Hunting Technique, it read: The seal of Tian Huangshi in the mid-Ming Dynasty was wrapped in foreign objects and no one has found it so far.

Qin Xu shook his hand, and the inkstone almost fell off.

What is Tian Huangshi? He has heard people say that this kind of stone is a treasure among Shoushan stones.

Because this kind of stone is produced in FJ Shoushan, it has the implication of Fushou Tianhuang, and because it has the six virtues of fine, clean, moist, greasy, warm, and imprinted stone, it is called "Emperor Stone" and became the national special stone for worshiping heaven in Qing Dynasty. stone.

In ancient times, there was a saying that "one or two fields of yellow and three liang of gold", one can imagine the preciousness of this kind of stone.

If it's really Tian Huangshi, it's a big mistake.

At this time.Xu Mengyao next to him pulled Qin Xu.

"What are you looking at? Let's go to the store inside. There is nothing good here."

Qin Xu winked at her.Then said to her:
"Mengyao, didn't you say you want to buy an inkstone? I think this one is pretty good. Let's not go inside, shall we?"

Although Xu Mengyao didn't understand why Qin Xu said that, she still cooperated and said, "Really, let me see?"

As he spoke, he took the inkstone and looked at it carefully.

Although she didn't see why, she still nodded,

"Well, this one is not bad, you can ask the boss how to sell it"

Qin Xu quietly gave her a thumbs up, then turned to look at the middle-aged man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

"Boss, how do you sell this inkstone?"

At this time, the boss was talking to the old man, when he heard this, he raised his head and took a look.

Seeing that both of them were well dressed, they immediately grinned and said:
"This boss has good eyesight. I am dissatisfied with you and said that this inkstone was collected from a family in the countryside.

I heard from that family that it was handed down by their ancestors. It is definitely an old object. Since you want it, how about giving you 2000 transfers?"

Qin Xu took the inkstone and weighed it, it was quite heavy.

Then I scratched the inkstone slightly with my fingernails, and found that the outer layer was not very hard.
It easily left a shallow mark, some like asphalt, some like rubber composite.

Although two thousand is not worth mentioning compared to the things inside the inkstone, but it can't be taken advantage of by others, right?

So, he said to the boss slightly jokingly:

"After hearing what the boss said, I realized that we had asphalt in ancient times, didn't we?"

The boss's face was visibly stiff, and he said in embarrassment:

"Brother, I'm just kidding, how could it be made of asphalt, even if you want it, then give me a real price of 1800"

Qin Xu stuffed the inkstone into the boss's hand:
"Then tell me what this inkstone is made of?"

"This and that, anyway, can't be made of asphalt. If you want it, just ask for a price."

The boss did not lie, this inkstone was indeed collected from the countryside by him,
However, it only cost [-] at that time, and he took it back and researched it for a long time, but he didn't find out what it was made of.

Qin Xu looked almost done, and was afraid of pushing the boss too fast.After thinking about it, he said:

"Well, one thousand, I won't pay you back too much. Seeing that you are full of dust, it may have been left for a long time and no one wants it. It's okay, if it's not, forget it."

As he said that, he stood up, as if he was going to leave if he couldn't do it.

Xu Mengyao stood aside and looked at Qin Xu. She really didn't understand why he spent so much money to buy such an inkstone, so she couldn't help pulling Qin Xu.
"Forget it, it's too expensive, let's go,"

Seeing that the business was about to blow up, the boss quickly stood up and said with a smile:
"Okay, one thousand is one thousand, I'll sell you."

With that said, he quickly wrapped the inkstone and handed it to Qin Xu.

Qin Xu was overjoyed, and quickly handed over the money, both smiling happily.

One thought, the broken inkstone that was collected at fifty was sold for one thousand, this fool.

A smile blossomed in his heart, such a large piece of Tian Huangshi, which is more expensive than gold, was bought back for a thousand, and it became big.

Qin Xu took the good things and took Xu Mengyao out.

On the way, Xu Mengyao couldn't bear it anymore, so she asked Qin Xu:
"Why did you buy this inkstone? Is there anything special?"

Qin Xu didn't answer, but asked instead:
"What birthday gift are you going to prepare for your grandfather, and how much is it?"

Xu Mengyao looked at Qin Xu suspiciously, and said:
"About a hundred thousand, what's the matter?"

Qin Xu looked at Xu Mengyao in surprise, and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect you to be a little rich woman, why are you still working in our small company?"

Xu Mengyao smiled, "Because I came out to exercise myself, don't change the subject, what do I ask you?"

Qin Xu smiled mysteriously, "Let's go, I'll tell you after I go to your house."
