Chapter 84 Amazing Discovery

The man said helplessly: "All right, all right, you'll take it all."

Before going to the cultural relics store, the bronze mirror only gave him two yuan.

Uncle Liao took out a stick and weighed it, and put away some jewellery.

The man took the money and left.

Susie put the bronze mirror into Uncle Liao's snakeskin bag, and there was her precious blue and white porcelain bowl in her travel bag, so she couldn't touch it.

Not many people came in the afternoon, so Uncle Liao collected some gold and silver jewelry, but he didn’t spend a total of 100 yuan.
In the evening, as night fell, the number of people gradually increased.

In the evening, I collected some gold bracelets and rings, all of which are old objects from the people. They are not exquisite in workmanship, and have no collection value, but they are only worth gold. Uncle Liao crushed the bracelets and put them away.

For several days in a row, villagers kept running over to sell things. These villagers were also very cautious. If they went out and came in, if they met someone, they would say, "I sell some broken copper and iron."

People also replied, "I also have too many broken coppers and irons in my house, and there is no place to pile them up."

Some of them carried a broken sack to hide their eyes and ears.

In short, everyone is here to sell scrap metal, not gold and silver.

The news spread to several nearby villages, and more people came.

According to the gossip of these villagers, Susie heard that no one here has come to collect these things, so there are still a lot of them in stock.

On the Jiangnan side, the land is fertile, the grain output is high, the industry and commerce are developed, and the people have been rich since ancient times, and they have some old things handed down in their hands.

Uncle Liao didn't expect things to be so easy to collect here. He thought back in Guangxi Province, he and his six sons walked around the streets and couldn't collect a few gold rings a day.

This is the second time for him to come here, the last time he came to this place was not so smooth.

I came here this time because I inquired last time that this city has been the wealthiest area in the entire province for hundreds of years, so there are many good things.

Moreover, this time when I came out, Susie was with me. She had a good fortune recently, and it was a good time for her, so it went very smoothly.

After staying in the village for three days, the things were almost packed. This morning, before dawn, the three of them packed up their things and left.

Then I hitchhiked to the next place, where I stayed at the villager's house and continued to collect things.

This family is an old lady living with her son and daughter-in-law, and a ten-year-old grandson. His family has a smaller population in the village and has more houses, so they are willing to let them stay.

This daughter-in-law is very powerful. Uncle Liao talked to her, and she insisted on asking for one dollar a day. In the end, Uncle Liao had no choice but to agree.

When it was time to eat, Susie and the three of them ate polenta and pickles with the grandmother of this family.

The daughter-in-law's family of three ate white rice and vegetables.

Uncle Liao is quite experienced. What he told the daughter-in-law of this family before was that they eat what the host eats, who knew they would come to this trick.

You can't say that the old lady is not the owner of this house.

Uncle Liao and the six sons had no choice but to hold back their anger. They were not familiar with the place outside, and they had huge sums of money, so they would generally try to avoid disputes with others.

Susie didn't make a sound either, she just ate the porridge silently. This woman was indeed unkind, but it was like signing a contract. There were problems with the terms of the contract, and there was nothing to be done about it.

The three of Susie and the old lady surnamed Quan sat at a small square table to eat.

At this time, Grandma Quan's ten-year-old grandson came over with an egg in his hand. He gnawed on the egg and said to Grandma Quan: "You are not dead, eat quickly. My mother said, go to the mill after you finish eating." Rice milling."

Susie was very surprised when she heard the child's words, and then looked at Grandma Quan, who was still eating porridge with her eyes downcast, she seemed numb.

The little brat then scolded, "I'm not dead, why don't you die, you will eat for free every day and don't work."

Susie couldn't bear it, she stood up abruptly, "She's your grandma, do you ever talk like that?"

The little boy spat at Susie, "None of your business."

Although the saliva did not spit on Susie, it was disgusting. Susie raised her hand to teach the child a lesson, but the child's mother came over and protected the child, "What are you doing, you still want to hit me as an adult?" What about your son?"

Susie frowned, "It's time for you to teach this child well. If you don't respect your elders, you'll have bad words. How about you grow up?"

The woman snorted, "My child is fine, don't worry about it!" Then she pulled the child away.

Uncle Liao shook his head, "Forget it, you can't explain it to her, this child will become like this, he must have learned from an adult."

Susie sat down and looked at Grandma Quan opposite, feeling sad for her in her heart.

After working so hard to raise their children, who knew that they would be treated like this when they were old.

After several people had finished eating and there was still some corn porridge left in the pot, Grandma Quan asked, "Who wants to add some more to this porridge?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Grandma Quan got up, took a shallow celadon bowl from the corner of the room, and poured the rest of the porridge into it.

Susie saw the celadon basin at a glance, and then opened her eyes wider and wider. Although the basin looked dirty, she could still see that the background color of the basin was blue after rain.

Only Ru kiln porcelain has this color.

But she wasn't sure if it was Ru Kiln porcelain. Ru Kiln was an official kiln in the Song Dynasty, and it was the pinnacle of flower planter porcelain. There were very few porcelains handed down from generation to generation, and as long as there was one piece, it would be astronomically expensive.

In such a small village, how could there be a small pot from Ru Kiln so casually?

Perhaps a modern imitation?

At this time, Grandma Quan put the basin on the ground and shouted, "Maomao, come and eat."

A thin little white cat came in from outside the door and ate porridge lying on the side of the basin.

Grandma Quan sighed, "Oh, poor cat, I can finally have a full meal today."

Grandma Quan fed the cat and got up to clear the table. Susie said, "You old man, take a rest, I'll come."

She cleaned up the dishes and took them to the stove to wash them. When she came back, she squatted on the ground and stared at the shallow bowl where the kitten was eating. She didn't dare to squat too close, lest the kitten misunderstand that she wanted to grab food from it.

The more she looked at it, the more surprised Susie was. She could clearly see that the glaze color of the basin was azure blue after rain, and the slices were uniform. The edge of the basin was shaped like a petal, and the shape of the vessel was very graceful.

The more Susie looked at it, the more she liked it, and she made up her mind to buy this pot. She didn't bother to care whether it was Ru kiln porcelain or not.

She turned around and looked at Grandma Quan, "Grandma, you—"

The old granny interrupted Susie before she could finish, "Do you like my cat?"

"If you like it, take it home and raise it. Anyway, this cat follows my old woman, and it might starve to death someday."
