Chapter 18: Redeem the Yu family's villa!
On Yu Yu's side, after the surprise of gold ingots popping up on her phone one after another, more surprises kept coming.
Gold ingots, silver ingots, all kinds of gold and silver jewelry and jewels inlaid with large gemstones, sapphires, yellow sapphires, rubies, the dazzling colors were so dazzling that they dazzled the eyes!
She didn't dare to delay, and first covered the phone with a quilt, along with the gold and silver jewelry, before taking a deep breath.
Although she had checked for hidden cameras before checking in, she was still worried.
I don't know how long I waited, but when I lifted the quilt again, there were many more things inside. My fingertips accidentally touched a watch face.
She picked it up and saw that it was a Patek Philippe!
Patek Philippe is known as the pinnacle of luxury watches, and owning one is a symbol of status and prestige.
Unexpectedly, Qin Lizhi was a fashionista who was at the forefront of trends during the Republic of China era.
The watch face is cool to the touch, and the metal is brand new and shiny, clearly indicating that it has been carefully cared for by its owner.
This watch must have been gently caressed by its owner in the palm of his hand.
But when the nation was in peril, the master unhesitatingly took it out to exchange for grain. Thinking of this, Yu Yu felt a warm current strike her spine, and her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
Clutching the watch tightly, Yu Yu's expression hardened.
Once she has these gold and silver ingots appraised by Elder Lin Zhengmao, she will definitely donate more supplies free of charge, as a way of contributing to the fight against the Japanese pirates in this alternate dimension.
Thinking of this, Yu Yu immediately put all the gold and silver ingots into her inconspicuous canvas bag.
After checking the time, I nervously made a phone call to Mr. Lin.
"Hey?"
Lin Zhengmao's strong voice rang out.
"Mr. Lin, I am Yu Yu, the girl who traded thirty-six Yuan Shikai silver dollars with you last time."
"Yu girl!"
The title "Lin Zhengmao" almost broke Yu Yu's defenses.
Tears welled up in my eyes quickly, and it took a bit of effort to barely suppress the urge to cry.
Since her parents passed away, no one has called her "girl" for a long time.
"Hey."
She responded tremblingly.
Lin Zhengmao, oblivious to her excitement, said enthusiastically, "Calling me so late at night, did you find some treasure while cleaning the house?"
Lin Zhengmao became very enthusiastic when the topic was brought up. Ever since he acquired thirty-six Yuan Shikai silver dollars, he had become famous in the circle. His old friends all gave him a thumbs up for his "heroic deeds".
"Yes, exactly."
"I wonder if Grandpa Lin has time tomorrow? I'd like to come over and ask you to take a look at the items and give me an estimate?"
Lin Zhengmao readily agreed, "Sure!"
"I'll be waiting for you at the shop first thing tomorrow morning!"
Hearing Lin Zhengmao's joke, Yu Yu smiled slightly, her lips curving upwards.
"Okay, then it's a date."
Yu Yu got up early in the morning, picked up her canvas bag and went straight to the bank. After the bank opened, she asked for a safe deposit box, put all the things in her canvas bag inside, and then took a ride-hailing car to Lin Zhengmao's antique shop.
Arrived at the antique shop.
Lin Zhengmao was lying on a recliner in the shop, with a cup of tea steaming on the coffee table next to him.
Upon seeing Yu Yu appear, the old man sprang up from his recliner with a swift movement, his eyes gleaming.
"Girl, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long!"
"Quickly, this Da Hong Pao tea is freshly brewed for you. The second brew is just the right time to enjoy the flavor."
Before the Yu family went bankrupt, they had seen good tea before, and when they smelled this familiar aroma, their eyes welled up with tears.
Her favorite thing used to be sitting in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of her villa, basking in the bright sunlight, while enjoying the tea that her parents had treasured.
Often, she would only be allowed to smell the aroma of the tea, look at the tea soup, and taste it to guess what kind of tea it was.
That's how she developed her skill of identifying tea by its aroma.
At this moment, she raised her cup, looked at the color of the tea, twitched her nose slightly, and quickly said, "General's Order Da Hong Pao."
Six words were enough to make Lin Zhengmao sit up straight.
"Girl, I didn't expect you to be such a tea connoisseur."
"You can already identify the variety of my Da Hong Pao tea without even tasting it?"
Yu Yu smiled, her beautiful doe eyes seeming to be filled with starlight.
"When my father was still alive, his favorite thing to do was to play the tea-guessing game with me."
"I almost forgot, before your family went bankrupt, you were one of the wealthiest families in the world."
"Things are unpredictable."
"Come on, girl, try this General's Order Da Hong Pao again."
Yu Yu raised her cup and took a small sip.
The aroma of tea lingers on the lips and teeth.
After tea, let's get down to business.
Lin Zhengmao rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming. "Girl, what treasure have you brought? Show it to me quickly!"
Yu Yu's mind raced, and she took out a gold ingot that was wrapped in several layers of plastic wrap from her canvas bag.
Lin Zhengmao became excited upon seeing the gold ingots.
"Girl, wait a minute, I'll go get the magnifying glass!"
After saying that, he went to the counter, picked up the magnifying glass, carefully took out his glasses from the glasses case and put them on, then raised the magnifying glass and carefully picked up the gold ingot.
The gold piece is shaped like a horseshoe, and amidst the heavy marks of time, the words "Made by the Ministry of Revenue in the tenth month of the fortieth year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty" are clearly visible.
Upon seeing these words, Lin Zhengmao's hands trembled even more violently.
"Good guy."
"Fifty taels of gold."
"It's gold from the Ming Dynasty, and it's so well preserved, clean, bright, and dazzling. It's really rare."
Yu Yu tried her best to remain calm.
Because it was transmitted from an alternate time and space during the Republic of China era, it is well preserved, probably because players cherish it.
“In 2014, a gold ingot from the same batch as yours was auctioned, and it sold for 7475000 yuan.”
"And you, you have two here all at once?"
Lin Zhengmao seemed to disbelieve his good fortune.
Yu Yu's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm and asked, "The quality of my two pieces is much better than those at the auction."
"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say."
Lin Zhengmao glanced at her through his glasses, having already seen through her little scheme, and said, "Girl, this isn't the first time we've worked together. You know me well; my character is top-notch. I didn't cheat you last time, so why would I cheat you this time?"
Yu Yu's face flushed instantly when her thoughts were exposed.
Lin Zhengmao laughed heartily.
"The auction house has over 7.4 million, I'll just give you 7.5 million, round it up, that'll be 15 million for both, how about that?"
The emotions that Yu Yu had just suppressed instantly boiled over!
Fifteen million—if this money arrives, she can quickly redeem the Yu family's villa!
