The next morning, chuchen's family went to pay homage to Liu Guomin.
Seeing the grave where his beloved was buried again, Chu Chen felt very sad. If his adoptive father could live, he would be able to enjoy his family and meet his sister again.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as "if" in this world. Chu Chen can only let go of his grief and vow to let Liu Guoju's family and the villagers live a happy life in the future.
Different from Chu Chen's grief, Chu Yongning and his wife are very grateful to Liu Guomin. If it had not been for Liu Guomin's careful guidance and care, Chu Chen would not have been so excellent as he is now. Perhaps he would have been devoured by the hatred in Chu Chen's heart for a long time.
As Chu Yongning must go to work tomorrow, Chu Chen asked his parents and sister to go back first, while he stayed to buy the old things in the village and prepared to return to Beijing tomorrow.
Originally, Chu Yulan said that it was boring to go home and wanted to stay for a while. However, the conditions here were poor after all, which was not conducive to the healing of the wound on her arm. Everyone didn't agree with her idea. In the end, she could only go back to Beijing with Chu Yongning and his wife with an unhappy face.
Seeing off his parents and sister, Chu Chen takes Hu Yong to the ancestral hall in the village, where he buys antiques today.
Because they got the news ahead of time, the villagers took all the bottles and cans handed down by their ancestors. The scene was full of all kinds. What's more, they even took the pig food pots.
Seeing this, the old village head yelled: "I said erlengzi, how did you take the pig food basin?"
Erlengzi scratched his head and said with a simple smile, "it's not that it's an old thing, but my grandfather's pig bowl has already been there. Isn't it old enough?"
The old village head was not angry and said: "you silly goods, the old things also depend on what kind of use and what they are made of. You can say that the stone mill at the entrance of our village is two or three hundred years old. It's old enough. I'll sell it to you for 500 yuan. Do you want it?"
"I'm not stupid, why buy that thing!" Er Leng Zi blinked and said.
"You are not stupid, others Chu wa son is not stupid, you say he will spend money to buy you this pig food basin!" Old village head stares two Leng son a way.
Erlengzi thought about it and thought it was reasonable, so he scratched his head and said, "I'll take it back."
With that, he picked up the pig bowl and was ready to take it home.
"Wait!"
Chu Chen quickly stopped him, and then went forward and said, "brother Erleng, can you show me this pig bowl?"
When you see that chuchen wants to see erlengzi's pig food basin, you all look at each other. You don't know what chuchen wants to do. Is this pig food Basin still a treasure?
"Brother Erleng, can I have a look?" Chu Chen saw the appearance of Er Leng Zi, and then asked.
"Oh! Yes, chuwazi, just look at it! " Erlengzi recovered and quickly put the pig food basin back on the ground.
The diameter of the pig bowl is nearly 50 cm. Because of feeding pigs all the year round, the top of the bowl looks very dirty. Except for the bottom, the other parts of the surface are covered by soil and swill.
However, it was the bottom of that point that made chuchen realize that the pig bowl looked like a bronze ware, which immediately made chuchen interested.
In the past, when Chu Chen was in the antique market, he often heard something like going to the countryside to collect goods. He found that the pig food basin, dog food basin and chicken food basin were actually good things. Then he picked up the leak at a very low price. Although Chu Chen has never experienced such a thing, he has heard a lot. In the past, he sometimes imagined that he would encounter such a good thing at any time.
Now it seems that erlengzi's pig bowl will probably fulfill Chu Chen's wish for many years.
Next, Chu Chen didn't use the ability to check it first, because there would be less surprise. He asked the old village head for water and rag, and was ready to give the pig a bath.
Of course, in another case, Chu Chen would not wash it with water, but this thing has been used to feed pigs, so he doesn't pay so much attention to it.
After a while, the water and the dishcloth arrived, so Chu Chen began to clean it, because to keep the integrity of the basin as far as possible, Chu Chen didn't dare to use too much energy, and he just simply dealt with some key points, ready to go back and use tools to deal with them.
Swill and soil is still very good to clean, after a while, the foundation of this "pig bowl" is roughly exposed, and chuchen's face is also blooming with a smile.
The basin is large in shape with flat edge. There are patterns of lotus, lotus, crane, mandarin duck, dragonfly and grass in the center of the basin. Flower patterns are carved on the flat edge, which can be described as a dense composition and exquisite carving.
From the composition style of the pattern, as well as the process characteristics, this copper basin should be the product of the Yuan Dynasty, and should be the representative of the Yuan Dynasty copper technology.
However, it was a pity for Chu Chen that the surface of this copper basin was seriously corroded because it was used to feed pigs all the year round, which had a great impact on its value. If the product was relatively intact, the value of this copper basin could exceed 100000. Now, it is only about 30000.Of course, thirty thousand yuan is a huge sum of money for the villagers. The most important thing in the countryside is not to reveal money. So Chu Chen pulled erlengzi aside and then told him the price.
"What, thirty thousand dollars!" Erlengzi exclaimed with an incredible look.
"These two Leng son, the brain is not clever!" Chu Chen patted his forehead. When he called, it was well known to the world. It is estimated that soon everyone will go back to get the pig bowl.
As a matter of fact, it was almost what chuchen thought. It was said that erlengzi's pig bowl was worth 30000 yuan. After the scene was quiet for a while, it immediately began to boil.
"My mother, such a pig food basin is worth 30000 yuan, son. Mother, you pinch me. Am I dreaming! Oh, it seems to be true! But a pig bowl is worth 30000 yuan. What's wrong with the world? "
"It's not the way of the world. It's erlengzi who is so stupid that he can feed pigs with 30000 yuan pots!"
"No matter how stupid they are, the pig bowl is worth 30000 yuan. How about you?"
"I My pig bowl may be worth 50000 yuan. I'll go and bring it to Chu Wazi. "
"Yes, I'll go too..."
……
For a time, the villagers who had pig food pots at home wanted to go home and show Chu Chen their pig food pots. Basically, everyone felt that their pig food pots should also be a treasure.
"Just a moment, everyone!"
Chu Chen called out and stopped all the villagers who were ready to go home. Then he gave a brief introduction to the villagers about what antiques are and the factors that determine the market value of antiques.
Chu Chen's introduction was very effective and soon suppressed the enthusiasm of the villagers at the scene.
"That's what it is A villager suddenly said, "by the way, big dog, I remember your pig food basin was chiseled out of the mountain stone last year. How could you show it to Chu Wazi?"
Big dog son a face embarrassed, weakly said: "this is just a excited to forget it!"
After hearing what dagouzi said, most of the villagers who just grumbled that they would go back to get the pig food basin also reflected that their own pig food basin certainly did not meet the requirements. Only a few villagers were ready to go back to get the pig food basin and take a chance.
At the same time, erlengzi after repeated inquiries, finally believe that his "pig bowl" is really worth 30000 yuan, immediately cheered, but immediately he began to shed tears.
Old village head speechless way: "I say Er Leng Zi, this is happy event, you cry what strength!"
Erlengzi cried and said, "I If I had known that this basin in my house could be worth 30000 yuan, my mother would not have left so early! "
The old village head opened his mouth, then patted erlengzi on the shoulder and said, "ah, it's all fate. Who knows a pig bowl will be worth so much money! But things have already been like this. Don't cry. Your mother's biggest wish was to let you get married and have children. Now that you have money, you'd better get married earlier. In this way, you can be at ease with your mother. "
The erlengzi family is really unfortunate. He lost his father when he was a child. His mother brought him up alone, and delayed the treatment because of a high fever. Although he was cured, his brain was not flexible because of the sequelae.
A little silly young man, plus there is no money at home, of course no one will marry his daughter. In this way, two years ago, his mother got sick again. If the disease could not be cured in the city, it would cost ten or twenty thousand yuan for medical expenses. The erlengzi family certainly could not afford it.
In the end, there was no choice but to let the barefoot doctor dispense some medicine for a while. In this way, the disease became more and more serious, and finally he lost his life.
It can also be regarded as the blessing of his parents. Since his mother died, er lengzi's mind has improved a little. Although he is still a little silly, he has been able to do farm work by himself.
Chuchen listened to the cause and effect, in the heart is very uncomfortable, in order to 12000 yuan, unexpectedly lost his life, this is also too cruel.
And if he had known about it earlier, he would have been able to help, but every time he came back, no one told him about Er Leng Niang, and he was not familiar with ER Leng family, so he had no way to know about it.
In fact, it's normal. After all, it's 10000 yuan or 20000 yuan. No family in Lvjia village can afford it, and no one will talk to Chu Chen about it.
