The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 26 The Hidden Objects in the Wooden Box
The three entered the restaurant, asked for a private room, and ordered a pot of medium-sized tea. The price was 380 yuan. This was already Chen Mo's limit. His current total assets were only more than 2 yuan, so he could ask the old man and the girl for 380 yuan. Yuan's tea, he already has his heart, and the price made him feel a lot of heartache for a long time. If this was put a while ago, it would definitely cost him half a month's food.

However, the old man smiled, but he was noncommittal. After Dr. Tea brought the tea, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea calmly. He didn't have any opinion on this.The girl pouted and said nothing.It's just tea, and besides, I'm not familiar with Chen Mo, so it's enough to despise him.And a pot of tea at 880 yuan is relatively good. She doesn't have any opinions on tea, but after she has an opinion on Chen Mo, everything she sees is pleasing to the eye. The girl's mind is as simple as that.

Drinking tea in the Guanzhong area is not the same as drinking tea in the south.Southerners all drink kung fu tea, or gather three or five friends, and a pot of three cups is called tea tasting.Northerners drink tea differently. Big bowls of tea, Gaiwan tea, Sanpaotai, etc. are the habits of northerners to drink tea. Big bowls and enjoyment are the habits of northerners.

However, with the spread of Kung Fu tea in recent years, there are many tea houses of Kung Fu tea from time to time in the north.However, although Kung Fu tea is introduced in Guanzhong, drinking tea is generally more forthright.The tea house that Chen Mo came to is more in line with the characteristics of northerners. What came up was a glass cup and a kettle. There was tea in the glass cup, and water was poured directly, and the tea rose and fell in the water.

"How is it, have you considered it?" The old man drank the tea indifferently, and then asked after putting down the teacup.

"I don't know what to call the old man?" Chen Mo asked, respecting older people.

"My surname is He!" The old man said with a smile.

"He Lao!" Chen Mo called.The old man just smiled, but he didn't deny the title, and he didn't say anything else, and no one could call himself He Lao. If Chen Mo didn't satisfy him later, it would be better to stay away from passers-by.

Chen Mo also saw the old man's slight alienation from him from the process of calling He Lao.But he didn't care about anything, he did what he should do, anyway, others didn't owe him anything, if it was still like this after the matter was done, then the road would go to the opposite side.

"I want to take out one thing from this box. If it is not damaged, I will sell it to you for 1000 yuan. The reason why I didn't promise you just now is because there were people coming and going on the street just now.

Secondly, if the items are not taken out, I have no way to tell the price.But as long as the contents inside are taken out, it is no problem to sell this wooden box to you for 1000 yuan. "Chen Mo said directly, although it is a bit too direct for strangers, but everyone is in a business relationship, so there is no need to care. Besides, this old man looks decent, and he is following a young girl, so there is no black and white. I am not that delicious, and I have to be careful that my teeth will collapse if I can't eat it.

"Oh? You mean there is something hidden in this wooden box?" The old man was a little surprised. He didn't expect to encounter such a bizarre thing, but he was a little curious.

"Huh? You shouldn't be with that group of people, shouldn't you be in a trap!" The girl was a little bit open-minded, wondering if he was with the group of people just now , partnered to deceive his grandfather.This kind of routine is not without, and in the eyes of the girl, Chen Mo is not a good person, of course, she will inevitably be suspected by her.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "I don't know anything about antiques or antiques, but I found that there was something wrong with this wooden box, so I bought it for 1000 yuan, and when I took out the contents, the wooden box would be sold to you. You don't have to buy it."

For the girl, Chen Mo is still more grateful, so she was able to speak up just now. This kind of girl's heart is still very positive, and there is no need for him to care about a girl's words.Of course, he definitely wasn't like this because of the girl's long bright eyes and white teeth, she was so cute and cute, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not!Important things said three times!Well, although it looks good, it is still important to make money.

The girl thought it right, so she nodded.However, the old man has not spoken, and smiled faintly, watching his granddaughter worry about him, it is a kind of happiness, he will not say other superfluous words, no matter what this matter, it is just like what Chen Mo said, something No, just don't pay for it. With your own energy, who else can deceive yourself?Even if he is deceived, he will spit it out at that time, and deceiving himself is not so easy to deceive.

Chen Mo took out a flat screwdriver and a utility knife from the backpack. There was no such tool in the small backpack, but it was just a cover to take out something from the Qiankun Pearl.In fact, these tools of his were bought and used slowly when he was renting. , I didn't expect this to be used before I got home, but I found that I had some foresight!
Originally there was a storage bag, but this was Master Ye Shang's love. In order to respect the deceased, he took out all the other things, left a handful of hair in the storage bag, and then Putting it in the Qiankun Pearl, if there is a chance, returning the storage bag to the original owner can be regarded as the end of Master Ye Shang's friendship.

Picking up the wooden box and watching it carefully, it is only then that there are some eyebrows.The porcelain in the wooden box is a vase utensil, so the whole is still relatively large. It is more than 30 cm long, 15 cm wide, and about 20 cm thick. It has soft cushions inside, which is not very suitable for the utensils. made up.And the wooden box is relatively old, and it has a smoky feeling.

Chen Mo didn't understand how He Lao could see that this thing was from the Republic of China period, and he could tell that it was wenge wood, but he admired the old man's eyes. This thing is just a broken wooden box. If it weren't for his own consciousness, he really couldn't see what was inside.Suddenly, he thought, could his divine sense be used for gambling stones?Isn't there such a description in some novels?

Shaking his head, now is not the time to be so cranky, it's still the most important thing at hand.Take out the broken pieces of porcelain, the soft pad and the yellow silk cloth, and then carefully observe the wooden box with your divine sense.

"Hey! What are you shaking your head for? Didn't you see something? Isn't this a waste of time?" The girl was impatient. Seeing Chen Mo shaking the wooden box, she asked boredly, and glanced at him with contempt. It made his heart tremble a little, the whites of Jiaobai's eyes, the big black eyes, and the moist eyes, even if he despised people, he looked a little relieved, just so patient!faint!Have you gone a bit too far?
Chen Mo didn't answer, raised his head to look at the girl, and quickly lowered his head, otherwise he wouldn't be able to concentrate on checking the wooden box in his hand.Suppressing the sprouting in his heart and carefully observing the wooden box, he let him see something.

Gently swipe the utility knife along a gap at the bottom a few times, and after trying it out, I swiped a few more times, and replaced it with a small flat-blade screwdriver. Under the curious eyes of the old man and the girl, slowly Push out a small wooden strip on one side of the bottom with the thickness of a matchstick. After removing the small wooden strip, the wooden board on the back side can be pulled out, and the small wooden strip acts as a wooden wedge.

Put the wooden box upside down on the table, and slowly pull away the wooden board on the ground. Only then did the old man and the girl discover that the board and the three side boards have card grooves, and the card grooves are tightly stitched together. box.The bottom plate and the side plates are very thick, about one centimeter thick. No wonder they can be left to the present. If they were thinner, Chen Mo would not have discovered that there was something hidden in it.

The gussets and wooden strips are very finely made. If Chen Mo hadn't scraped off some of the attachments on the side of the wooden box, no one would have seen that the wooden box had such a mechanism.And the small wooden strips are very small, once a long time, you can't see anything.If it weren't for a guy like Chen Mo with a sense of consciousness, it would be impossible for anyone to observe with his eyes that this wooden box could still hide something.
