Chapter 146 The Second Golden Gong

At five o'clock the next morning, Li Mo got up and went for a run. When he returned to the hotel, it was already seven o'clock. Chen Xiaojun and others were waiting in the leisure area of ​​the lobby downstairs.

"Have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet, I'll wait for you to join me." Chen Xiaojun quickly replied.

"I'm sweating, go up and take a shower, you go eat first, don't wait for me."

The hotel's buffet breakfast was quite rich, and Li Mo made a plate and sat next to Chen Xiaojun to eat it.

"Little Uncle, that Liu Ziping called early this morning and asked when we would come over. He seemed quite anxious."

"Let him hurry up first. When the time comes, Xiaojun and I will go over, and you guys should not accompany us, lest he get suspicious."

Li Mo's time dragged on and it was approaching noon. He and Chen Xiaojun walked into Xiangli Village unhurriedly, and took photos along the way from time to time, which were full of rural elements.

"Little uncle, if you stay in an international city like Kyoto for a long time, you will miss the peaceful life in the countryside. But if you really want to stay in the countryside for a while, you will feel very uncomfortable. Do you think people are weird?"

"So now the courtyard houses in the old alleys of Kyoto are expensive but not available. It is a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle. You can enjoy the convenience of an international city when you go out, and you can enjoy a peaceful and comfortable life when you go home."

Li Mo was carrying a bag, and it was a pity that Xiangli Village, which was surrounded by mountains and rivers, failed to develop.Unlike Chenjia Village in Huizhou, which is a well-known hometown of martial arts, many people go to play for that.

"Little uncle, the old house in front is Liu Ziping's house."

Li Mo looked at it. Although the wall was old and covered with ivy, there were sharp glass fragments standing on it, which was to prevent others from climbing over the wall and entering.

Creak, the old-fashioned wooden door opened with a harsh sound.Liu Ziping just came out to take a look, and his anxious face was immediately filled with a smile. He wiped his hands on the hem of his trousers and stretched out to Li Mo and said, "Hello, little boss, I thought you guys came over in the afternoon."

Yesterday the young man, today the young boss, Liu Ziping's attitude changed quite quickly.

"I'm sorry, sir, we went shopping in another place this morning. Didn't we just come here?"

"There are so many interesting places in Yuezhou. If you have free time, go around more. Please come in quickly, little boss."

Li Mo stepped into the yard, and immediately looked towards the corner. The eyes of the different pupils penetrated the round thing, and deep golden circles of light spread out.

There are twelve zodiac carvings on the surface. The shape, size, and dark golden circle all prove that the one in front of you is a golden gong from the Qin and Han Dynasties.

It also finally confirmed a 2000-year-old legend that the Twelve-faced Golden Gong Treasure of the Overlord of Western Chu does exist.

In the Kyoto Museum is the first golden gong discovered, while the one in front of you is the second golden gong.

What made him heartbroken was that the golden gong in front of him had been seriously damaged, not only deformed but also had several cracks, stained with mud, and was with those sundries.

Li Mo withdrew his gaze, and nodded calmly towards Chen Xiaojun beside him.

Surprise appeared in Chen Xiaojun's eyes, but he hid it very well. He took Li Mo's backpack and said respectfully: "Boss, according to the schedule, we can only stay here for two hours. The chairman called in the morning to urge you to go back, saying There is another business deal in the store, so I want you to rush back as soon as possible to take over and confirm."

"How much is it?"

"More than 700."

"Okay, we'll go back to Shanghai in the afternoon."

Liu Ziping, who was walking in front, swallowed a few mouthfuls unconsciously when he heard these words. He seemed to have seen the [-] cash in his hands.At this moment, his eyes rolled, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

There was a stove at the door, a small iron pot, and a plastic bag next to it. I don't know what was in it, and there were ten eggs.

"Little boss, the materials are all ready, do you see?"

"Understood, I will transfer the money to you now." Li Mo took out his mobile phone and called him five thousand.

After receiving the reminder from the text message, Liu Ziping hurriedly ran into the house and moved out two long wooden benches of unknown age: "Little boss, please sit down, I will give you a step-by-step introduction and demonstration now."

He opened the packing bag, took out a bag of small ingredients from it, and then introduced to Li Mo and the other one by one what spices they used, what the main ingredients were, and what the auxiliary ingredients were.

Li Mo was taking pictures with his mobile phone.

Liu Ziping poured all the spices into the pot, added water and started to boil.

"Boss, this water needs to be boiled for half an hour."

"There's plenty of time, we're not in a hurry. Sir, sit down too, let's chat if we have nothing to do." Li Mo gave him a seat and said with a smile, "I heard from you yesterday that you went there more than 20 years ago. Modu, did you go to work at that time?"

"Little Boss, do you smoke?" Liu Ziping took out a cigarette and offered it to Li Mo, but he waved his hand and refused. He lit one himself and said, "I have no education, and no one wanted me to work in Shanghai. Back then It was to deliver something there for a person, and it only stayed there for three days."

"Oh, that's a pity. It's rare to go there, but you should have more fun, especially along the Huangpu River. The Bund, the magic capital, is famous all over the world."

Liu Ziping took a few puffs of cigarettes and skillfully flicked the ash. He glanced at Li Mo who was looking at the phone screen, with a trace of cunning in his eyes: "Little boss, to tell you the truth, I went to Shanghai for a Tourists send antiques there.”

Li Mo turned his head to look at him, and said with some surprise: "Master, what is that antique you gave? Porcelain, calligraphy and painting, or jade? How much is it worth?"

"No, it's something that looks like a huge gong. The tourist said it was an antique, so he paid for one. He also asked me to escort it with the car and pay the balance when we arrive at the destination."

"Bought one? You mean how many more do you have? Are you still here? Can you let me see what it looks like?"

"There are only two in total. One was bought more than 20 years ago, and there is one left at home, but the rest has been deformed and cracked, so the person didn't want it."

Li Mo showed great interest, stood up and said, "Grandpa, take me to see that bad one."

"Little boss, wait, I'll move here."

Liu Ziping ran to the corner and cleaned up other sundries after tossing around. He wanted to move it by himself, but the thing weighed [-] to [-] catties, so he couldn't move it at all.

"Don't move, I'll come and take a look." Li Mo walked in and squatted down to look carefully for a few minutes, and finally said with a sigh, "It's a pity, if this is intact, it is really worth a lot of money. Now it is seriously deformed , there are five cracks on the edge, this product has been damaged and it is not worth much."

"Little boss, aren't all antiques like this?" Liu Ziping said unwillingly.

Li Mo shook his head with a smile and said, "The really valuable antiques are those that have been around for a long time, are good, and are new in appearance, not just any old thing that is valuable. Your thing is only old now, so it's not worth much."

"Little boss, if you say it's not worth anything, how much is it worth?"

Li Mo stroked his chin and estimated, "I guess it's only 5000 yuan, but I'm in the antique industry, and the asking price standard is different. I guess other people will just treat it as waste and recycle it."

After speaking, he walked back to the iron pot, opened the lid and smelled it and said, "The fragrance is coming out."

"Little boss, will you accept the 5000 yuan?"

"No, that thing takes up a lot of space. I bought it for five thousand and earned two or three thousand at most. It's boring."

Li Mo directly refused, then glanced at Chen Xiaojun and said, "I'm going out to stroll around this village, you stay here and watch."

　Forecast, there will be an update tomorrow! !
