Chapter 284 Elm Box
"Look, you are the one who asked me to bid! I made the bid, but you shouldn't. What is it not to cheat?" The male stall owner took out a cigarette and lit it, then sneered at the few people who came forward to watch at this time Said, "Look, I kicked my things, I don't want to pay for it."

Originally, Yu Yao wanted to add another 1000 or [-] to settle the matter, but with the look of the stall owner, there was no rush.

He also took out a cigarette and lit it: "In this case, call the police. However, I will not accept mediation after filing at the police station. You are ready to go to the court to sue. I will pay as much as the court judges!"

"You?" The stall owner didn't expect Yu Yao to do such a trick suddenly.

"Hurry up and report." Yu Yao said, took out his mobile phone, and took a few photos of the blue and white jug.

How can the stall owner call the police?How can I sue?This thing, to put it bluntly, turned out to be his extortion.And once it goes to court, the compensation awarded is only a few thousand yuan; he is the plaintiff, whoever advocates and proves, has to write a complaint, go to court, and go to court, what a waste of time!

"Don't report it?" Yu Yao looked at the silent male stall owner, "You can sue directly, anyway, it's a civil lawsuit. Let's keep calling each other, and I'll go first."

At this time, the female stall owner ran over with a smile all over her face, "Isn't it just one thing? You two old men have caused such trouble. I think this little brother is a reasonable person. I feel sorry for it." Just make sense."

Yu Yao waved his hand, "It's no longer possible to reach an agreement."

"Go and look at the stall." The female stall owner gave the male stall owner a push.The male stall owner took advantage of the slope to descend the donkey and turned around.

"We are exposed to the wind and the sun, and it is not easy to do a small business. Little brother, you can add two more, so that we don't work in vain."

Yu Yao also didn't want to talk about it, saying that going to court is actually the worst plan, in short, he would rather trouble than be blackmailed.But at this time, he will not add more, "I have already said five thousand, if not, we will listen to the court."

"Little brother, calm down. Even though the jug is broken, you can take it back and mend it, right? It's an old thing anyway."

Yu Yao didn't speak, but looked down at the place where the wine jug was originally placed, saw a wooden box, and suddenly realized that the wine jug was originally placed on this wooden box, otherwise it would not be easy to break it directly.

To be precise, he kicked the wooden box, and then the wine jug fell out and broke.If a wine jug is placed directly on the edge of the stall and kicked into the stall, it may not be broken if there are other things blocking it.

"I wouldn't want this wine jug if it's intact, how can I take it away and fix it?" Yu Yao said while picking up the wooden box, "This should be the box for the wine jug, right?"

"Ah? They were collected together."

"You don't put the jug in the box, it's fine to put it on the side or not on top!"

The female stall owner sneered, "It turned out that it was put inside. Someone looked at it before, and after reading it, they put it on it. We haven't confiscated it yet, so you came here."

"Well, I'll pay five thousand. I don't want the jug, so you can keep it. Take the box away. It's a pass-through, okay?"

The female stall owner was taken aback.Although the flagon was broken into three pieces, it was an old thing after all, and if it was patched up, it could be sold for three hundred and five hundred dollars.But the material of this box is ordinary elm wood, so it is not as valuable as the glued jug.

"Can you? If not, let's go through the legal process. The court may not allow me to pay five thousand!"

"Okay, we can't afford to delay." After the female stall owner agreed, she found a small plastic bag, packed the box, and handed it to Yu Yao.

Yu Yao took out his mobile phone to transfer the money, and when the money was transferred, it was marked that it was because of compensation for kicking the broken jug, and he didn't ask the stall owner to write another note, and left with the box and hanging screen.

After Yu Yao left, the female stall owner scolded the male stall owner, "You didn't sell this flagon until you let it go for 800! Just now, it's already sold for [-], so it's good to add more than [-]! In the end, you insisted on making the lion open his mouth, and you still stared at me when I coughed!"

"What do you know? What if it is corrupted?" The male stall owner insisted.

"Is it blackmailed?" The female stall owner replied, but then muttered, "This person seems to be a knowledgeable person. I remember that the box is not old, right?"

"Em lumps, what about the old ones? If it's valuable, can I keep silent?"

······
After tossing around like this, Yu Yao didn't continue to go shopping. When he reached the gate of the market, he took a taxi and went back to the hotel.

Although this hanging screen is the most valuable of the black enchantress pagoda above, he will not pick it off, and he will just explain it when he makes a move.

Returning to the room, taking a sip of water, and sitting down, Yu Yao picked up the elm box and looked at it.

Although the size of this elm wood box is basically suitable for holding a jug, it cannot be the original box of the jug. The year is wrong. This box is probably from the Qing Dynasty.It is also unlikely that it will be equipped later. It is not worth adding a special box for this kind of high-end wine jug.

When the stall owner received it, the original owner might have put it on like this, but that could only be a coincidence, as there were two of these items on hand at the same time, and they were of the right size.

In addition, although the material of this elm wood box is ordinary, the workmanship is unambiguous.The couple who set up the stall didn't pay much attention to it, probably because there were no decorations or carvings.But this is a box with vertical edges and corners, and the edges and corners are regular and polished.Moreover, the fit between the box cover and the box body is very good, and it still feels not loose or tight.

Elm wood is not easy to crack, and there are many handed down elm furniture from Ming and Qing Dynasties, which are relatively well preserved.This box is also well preserved, and the patina is considered moist.

When Yu Yao asked for this box, he didn't want to take advantage of it, after all, it wasn't any precious wood; he just thought it was a decent thing, and it would be good to use it for other things.But looking at it, I kept wondering what it was supposed to be.
Yu Yao turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, illuminated the inside of the box, and found some red traces, scratched it with a toothpick a few times, observed and smelled it, it seemed to be ink pad.

"So it might be a sealing stone box." Yu Yao said to himself, just as he was about to put down the toothpick, he found something strange.

Because the angle he is looking at now is oblique, he suddenly feels that the "bottom" inside the box is too thick!

The box was not dug out entirely, and there are obvious splicing marks at the bottom, which is the bottom of the back plug.But from the outside, it is a bottom about two centimeters thick, but looking at the bottom inside the box, it feels that it is more than five centimeters higher than the bottom.

Yu Yao continued to use the flashlight on his mobile phone to illuminate the bottom edge of the box, it felt like another piece of wood was placed inside.

Originally, it was enough to find out that it was originally a seal stone box, but this new discovery made Yu Yao wonder, could there be something hidden at the bottom of the box?
In fact, under normal circumstances, there may be an extra piece of wood in the wooden box.But it's no wonder Yu Yao thinks too much, the main reason is that he didn't encounter such a thing once or twice.
