A wealthy family recognizes my relatives? But I am already a billionaire.
Chapter 66 Bronze Cauldron
Xu Youyou returned to the hotel and opened the training course redemption page. The system rewarded her with a total of five training courses. She thought she could learn five professional knowledges respectively, but she didn't expect that for the system, five hours was just one class.
There were so many courses on the training course redemption page that Xu Youyou was almost overwhelmed. She finally chose antique training. She lay on the bed in the hotel, and after confirming that she had entered the course, she tilted her head and fell into a deep sleep.
She realized belatedly that this training course was very useful as a hypnosis tool, apart from other things.
A middle-aged woman in a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses appeared before her. Behind her was a projector screen. "Today's lecture will focus on the identification and appreciation of bronze artifacts."
Perhaps because it was a 1v1 small class, or perhaps because the teacher’s teaching was so good, Xu Youyou listened attentively. At the end of the course, she was still reluctant to leave, and her subsequent dreams were all about bronze artifacts.
Xu Youyou woke up early the next morning and didn't feel tired at all. She didn't even bother to eat breakfast and hurriedly wrote and drew in her small notebook, fearing that she would forget the knowledge she learned in the training class if it was too late.
Xu Youyou finished all her business in Gansu Province and was not in a hurry to leave. It was a rare trip out, and it would be a pity not to experience the local customs and culture. So she found a local tour guide and took the group on a good trip around Gansu Province.
The tour guide was quite dedicated and didn't try to cheat people. Apart from being a bit of a chatterbox, he seemed to have no other problems.
"Ms. Xu, you seem to be running your own business. What kind of business is it?" the tour guide asked curiously.
When ordinary people saw Xu Youyou, they would probably think she was a rich lady. However, as soon as the people around her spoke, the misunderstanding was cleared up, because the driver and bodyguards called her "boss" instead of "lady".
"I do some small business, reselling antique jade." Xu Youyou said.
The tour guide shook his head. "You have such a big business around you, so your business must be more than just a small one. The antique business is booming. Speaking of which, my brother also likes to deal in this. He travels around the countryside, and many antique dealers like to come to him for goods."
Xu Youyou said casually: "If fate allows me to go back, I can go visit him."
The tour guide immediately said, "What a coincidence! Our tour route passes by his shop. You can go and take a look at the goods. I brought them there, and he can even give you a discount!"
Xu Youyou nodded indifferently.
On the third day of the small group tour, the car stopped without any warning as it passed a small village along National Highway 227.
The tour guide said enthusiastically, "Miss Xu, my brother's home is in this village. I called him in advance, and he's waiting for me at home now."
The tour guide did not notice that the four bodyguards beside Xu Youyou had changed from their previous lazy and leisurely attitude, and were now on alert, following Xu Youyou closely.
There are not many people in the village, mainly elderly people and children. The local young people seem to have gone out to work, so when Xu Youyou saw the so-called "good brothers" of the tour guide, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"You have a lot of brothers." Xu Youyou said.
The house they lived in was a single-story residence covering an area of about 100 square meters. There was no flooring or cement on the ground, and it was dirty and looked quite shabby.
Five or six young men suddenly ran out of the house of more than 100 square meters, and the bodyguards behind Xu Youyou almost took action.
The tour guide quickly said, "It's hard to find work in the countryside, so a few people have teamed up to start a business. Miss Xu, please come and take a look. There are some great things inside."
The house, facing south and north, was divided into two sides, east and west. However, the door to the west was tightly closed, and some slight noises could be heard from inside from time to time. Xu Youyou just glanced over there for a moment, and a hint of nervousness flashed across the faces of the tour guide and his brother.
Xu Youyou stepped on the soft soil in the house and followed them obediently into the east room, where there were indeed quite a few antiques.
There are both calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, and some bronzes.
Xu Youyou doesn't know much about calligraphy and painting, but she can clearly see porcelain. Although the signatures are Qianlong and Yongzheng, they are actually modern products.
"This is a Qianlong colored hollow auspicious vase..." The tour guide's good brother just started.
Xu Youyou frowned and corrected him, "It's famille rose, not colored powder. This is a Qianlong famille rose hollowed-out auspicious and abundant rotating vase."
The tour guide wasn't at all embarrassed by his friend's misspoken words. Instead, he clapped his hands and said, "Ms. Xu, you were able to pronounce such a long name in one breath. You're an expert. So, you'd better give this bottle a good estimate."
"Do you really want me to give an estimate?" Xu Youyou asked with a smile.
The tour guide nodded vigorously and said, "A buyer offered one million yuan before, but my brother thought it was too little and didn't sell it to him."
Xu Youyou raised her chin slightly and reached out to rotate the inner bottle of the bottle. "Storytelling also requires logic. When the inner bottle of the rotating bottle rotates, different images can be seen through the holes on the outside, like a revolving lantern. Why don't you choose a simpler one for your counterfeiting?"
As Xu Youyou moved, the inner bottle did turn, but there was no painting on the bottle.
The tour guide smiled awkwardly and said, "It seems my brother made a mistake."
Xu Youyou knew the rules of their business. The first item delivered was actually a test. Only when the buyer passed the test would they give out the real good stuff. However, she felt that their test was too crude, like teasing a fool.
Sure enough, when they saw that Xu Youyou was not interested in the antiques on the scene, they mysteriously took out something covered with a red cloth.
"Bronze ware, I wonder if the boss knows anything about it?" said the tour guide.
Xu Youyou's eyes lit up. She had only studied bronzeware for five hours and was worried about having no place to show her skills. Now she felt that she was terrifyingly strong, but she was still unusually humble: "I know a little bit."
The other party lifted the red cloth, revealing a bronze square tripod about 30 centimeters high.
Xu Youyou put away her frivolous attitude and her expression became serious.
The tour guide was delighted to see her like this.
"Do you have a toothbrush? And a glass of water." Xu Youyou asked.
Someone immediately brought a brand new toothbrush. After Xu Youyou took it, she dipped it in water and wanted to brush it.
The tour guide immediately stopped her and said, "Ms. Xu, please don't rub it carelessly. What if you break it?"
Xu Youyou explained: "Professional archaeologists all do this, so there's no need to worry about damaging it."
The tour guide took out his mobile phone and searched, and it seemed that there really was such a rule, so he stopped stopping them.
Xu Youyou added: "If you don't trust me, then you can come and do it."
