Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

Chapter 114 Treasure Appraisal Conference

The treasure hunt festival has arrived, and just like the previous Ice and Snow Festival, Abby rushed to Sean's farm early in the morning.

Because today is a holiday, all the residents in the town generally take a day off, so Robin's engineering team also stopped for a day, which is a rare day.

Without anyone else on the farm, Sean no longer had any worries. He quickly used his superpowers to help complete the day's farm work so that he could go out to celebrate the holiday as soon as possible.

At this time, he was standing beside the canal, manipulating the water flow to form a water curtain that was evenly spread on the fields.

Next to the ridge of the field, a large golden retriever was escorting a group of chicks and ducklings to wander in the reeds by the farm river.

These magical scenes appeared in Abby's eyes, and she was no longer surprised by them.

"Master, how did you train Amber? My David is so stupid that he eats, drinks, poops and urinates all at once. Luckily I hid him in the bathroom in the back hills so he wasn't discovered."

David is a guinea pig that Abby secretly keeps in her personal cupboard in the bathroom because the powerful people in the family object.

Instead, she developed a strong curiosity about amber.

"Did you train it the same way you train bees?" She recalled the search for a beehive. "By the way, my mother really likes the honey you gave her. She is researching cold honey tea and would like to invite you to visit her."

"Oh, okay." Sean agreed verbally.

After that, Abby urged Sean impatiently and did not stop until she took her to see the new home of the bee colony.

After coming and going, it was already late.

When the rising sun dispersed the clouds in the valley, the crystal dewdrops hid in the petioles.

Sean and Abby arrived at the meeting point - Haley's home.

At this time, two groups of contestants had gathered in the room: Haley and Claire, and Emily and Leah.

The four girls were all dressed in sporty style with long sleeves and long pants, and Haley even wore a pair of sand-proof goggles around her neck.

Several backpacks were neatly placed aside, they were used to hold Easter eggs.

It seems that they are all very confident about the treasure hunt in the afternoon.

"Look! What I brought." Abby shouted excitedly as he entered Haley's house.

From the very beginning, she mysteriously carried a long object wrapped in silk.

"I brought my sword training tool here." Abi lifted the cloth, revealing the cold iron sword underneath. "I'm going to join in the fun at the treasure appraisal conference. This is my first time to participate in such an event. I usually only see it on TV shows."

"Does anyone have any items you want appraised? Let's go and join in the fun. Also, my master brought something with him."

To add to the appeal, she dragged Sean into the mix.

Just now at the farm, Sean was pestered by Abby and had no choice but to pick up an item left by his grandfather from the warehouse and gave it to Abby, asking her to help identify it.

The girls looked at each other. They naturally had not prepared any treasure appraisal items, and they couldn't think of anything to take out for a moment.

"Got it, wait a moment." Emily remembered something and walked towards the inner room.

After a while, she came out with an exquisite wooden box and placed it on the coffee table.

When he opened the box, he found some colorful and strange stones: "These are the stones I collected. Everyone please pick one to identify it."

"Everyone, please feel free. These are not expensive things. I just picked them up at the beach. Consider them as gifts for everyone."

Seeing that everyone was hesitant and did not move, Emily took out a yellow crystal-like stone from the wooden box and handed it to Haley: "Haley, this yellow one suits you."

With the first one, everyone stopped being polite and each picked a stone to experience the rare atmosphere of the treasure appraisal conference.

Sean chose an orange-red stone that looked like a lemon, and then he led the "army of ladies" to the event site.

-----------------

During the Treasure Hunt Festival, the treasure appraisal conference was held in the morning and the treasure hunt was arranged in the afternoon.

At this time, the open space in front of the museum was temporarily used, and several wooden-framed signboards were used to enclose a venue. There was a long queue at the only entrance. These were the townspeople who wanted to enter to appraise the treasures.

In order to avoid any disturbance, a symbolic fee was charged for this treasure appraisal activity: 20G/item appraisal fee.

Sean walked at the front and followed the slowly moving crowd to pay for admission.

"Sorry for the trouble, two items." The person in front finally walked away, and it was Sean's turn. He shouted, walked forward, took out the coins and received the identification number.

The several experts invited to this treasure appraisal conference have different preferences for the projects they are responsible for. Some are responsible for utensils and antiques, some are in the field of jade, and some are miscellaneous items.

Because everyone was holding a piece of stone, Sean and his group went to the jade area first and lined up.

Apart from them, there were no other young people at the entire event. Most of them were middle-aged and elderly people from the town who came to participate in this event with the mentality of getting rich overnight, but they often returned disappointed.

At this time, if you meet an old man who is stubborn, immersed in his own world and trapped by his own rhetoric, the scene becomes lively.

For example, the utensils and antiques next door are interesting.

"This vase of mine was originally asked by the National Museum for me, but I didn't give it to them. There is only one in the world. Legend has it that Peter the Great used alien stones as the main material and melted them inside a volcano for forty-nine days to create it." An old man took out the wrapped vase from a piece of rag and placed it on a table covered with a red cloth.

He began to talk incessantly, "My grandfather bought it from a group of tomb robbers, and later it was passed to my father."

"Hiss~ It's inherited from our ancestors." The expert took a deep breath and looked at him with a smile on his face.

He adjusted his glasses, turned on the flashlight, placed the vase halfway on the table, squinted his eyes and observed the details in the light.

"Look at the glaze on the surface. It's too shiny. Look at the bottom. It's very dry." The expert explained, "It's new. It looks new at first glance."

"Take a closer look! Look at the lines and cracks, how can they be new?" Upon hearing this, the old man stamped his feet excitedly, shook his shoulders, and clapped his hands.

"Look at this dragon pattern. This is Peter the Great's guardian beast. Dragon pattern, don't you recognize it?"

"You don't have to be angry with me." The expert has seen this kind of people before, and said with a helpless smile, "Look at the bottom, it has 'e-commerce only' printed on it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the girls on Sean's side understood what he meant and started laughing.

Only the old man didn't understand what e-commerce meant. When he heard the word "special", he thought it was something high-end and continued to talk about his own imaginary things without making any sense.

"You don't have to tell me all this. Just tell me whether this appraisal certificate can be issued?"

The expert smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

"I spent money, and no matter whether it is true or not, there is not even an identification result." The old man took a step back, pointed with his finger, and spit flew.

"Okay, don't argue with me anymore. I'll give you the money back."

In the end, he couldn't get any better, so he walked away cursing.

The farce is over, and it is Sean and his friends' turn.

The entire jade identification was handled by three experts, and the one sitting in front of Sean was, beyond his expectation, a very young woman.

Don't look down on others because of their age, Sean reminded himself and handed the stone in his hand over: "Hello, this is the stone, please take a look." He remained polite.

"What is this?" The expert initially glanced at it casually, but after seeing the stone Sean handed over, he suddenly became alert and took out a flashlight and a magnifying glass to observe it carefully.

"Can you tell me where I can get this stone?" After a while, she put down what she was holding and asked Sean excitedly.
