Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 82 Are you anxious about betting on dogs?Get it for five bucks!

It is said that during the three years of Xuande, a total of 5000 incense burners were built.

But in later generations, people's praise for Xuande incense burners increased. Coupled with the folk craftsmanship and the easy availability of copper materials.

For a time, the Xuande furnace became a trend, and various workshops began to imitate it and then sell it to all parts of the country.

Therefore, many incense burners claiming to be Xuande burners are actually imitations of later generations.

Since the late Qing Dynasty, there have been countless collectors claiming to have genuine Xuande incense burners in their hands.

However, after appraisal by master craftsmen, it was found that most of them were imitations from the Qing Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty.

By comparing the craftsmanship and materials, I estimated the age of the Xuande incense burner in my hand.

It should be an imitation made during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Although the value is not very high, it is still an official kiln product after all, and it still has certain collection significance.

Lin Ran was thinking about how to make a price, but Li Ke had interrupted him, looking very anxious.

"Rag collector, have you seen enough?" Li Ke said, his tone was harsh.

"I have to estimate his value." Lin Ran smiled.

"Just tell me quickly if you can afford it. If you can't afford it, get out and don't waste my time." Li Ke seemed emotionally unstable.

If he guessed correctly, the creditors outside were pressing him very hard, and it was too late for him to raise money.

In fact, this kind of person is best killed. The most important thing is that this kind of gambling dog deserves it!No need to have any psychological burden!

Lin Ran said calmly: "Forgive me for being blind, but I can't see what good product is in front of me? Let's do this. You tell me a price and I will refer to it."

Li Ke kept shaking his legs, kneading it back and forth with his fingers, then stretched out two fingers and gritted his teeth and said, "200 yuan."

Although it is an imitation of the Qing Dynasty, if the Xuande incense burner is sold in the market, it should be able to fetch a good price.

However, Lin Ran would never give him 200 yuan.

Seeing as his parents have passed away, this man is still unwilling to make progress and is addicted to gambling outside. He is simply inhumane!

Anyway, he was not the one who was anxious. Lin Ran smiled inwardly, but pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Do you want to sell this incense burner for 200 yuan?"

"Yes, two hundred. Give me the money and you take the things."

Lin Ran put the incense burner on the ground, looking like he didn't want it, and prepared to leave.

He knew very well that if he hadn't been desperate, Li Ke would never call him home.

So he was fully confident that Li Ke would call him.

Sure enough, after Lin Ran pretended to leave, Li Ke became anxious.

He took Lin Ran's hand and said, "rag collector, why have you finished reading it? Don't you want to buy anything?"

"This is not a good product. I collect rags to make money, not for charity."

On the surface, there was absolutely no sign that Lin Ran was plotting against him.

Li Ke was very anxious and said, "That won't work. Since you've seen it, you have to buy it."

"Is there still such a truth? What era do you think this is?" Lin Ran rolled his eyes at him.

Seeing Lin Ran acting like he was about to leave again, Li Ke pulled him back again, his small eyes flashing with cunning light.

Lin Ran pretended to be angry and said: "You don't even look at how broken this incense burner is, and you still want to sell it to me for 200 yuan. Are you stupid, or am I stupid?"

"Then tell me the number."

Lin Ran stretched out five fingers.

"50 yuan?" Li Ke's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Nice thought, five dollars."

"Five yuan? It's too little, right? No, I won't sell it." Li Ke became anxious.

"If you don't sell it, then I'll leave." Lin Ran thought he was very interesting.

When doing business, you are most afraid of letting others see your true needs. The guy in front of you is obviously poor and crazy.

The more this happens, the more prices will be squeezed by others.

"Can you give me ten yuan? I'm begging you!"

Li Ke's voice sounded very excited.

"I still say what I said, I am a rag collector, not a charity person."

"But you must have made a lot of money collecting rags?"

"No matter how much money you make, it doesn't matter to you? If you don't sell it for five yuan, you will lose it."

There was a cunning light in Li Ke's eyes. In the casino, he was deceived and lost all his money without repentance.

Not to mention dealing with a human spirit like Lin Ran, it was a complete dimensionality reduction blow.

"Okay, five yuan is five yuan." Li Ke was still thinking, but he didn't expect that a broken incense burner could be sold for five yuan, and he would make a lot of money.

With just five yuan, as long as you're lucky, it's no problem to win five hundred and five thousand!

As for the initial 200 yuan, he was just talking about it.

He didn't know the true value of the incense burner at all. He just thought it was antique and would be bought by second-hand dealers who came to the countryside to collect goods, and then sent to the market for others to pick up.

I heard the grandmothers at the entrance of the village say that recently I often see people coming to the countryside to collect antiques. If there are valuable goods, they will buy them at a relatively high price.

The first time Li Ke saw Lin Ran, he thought he was a porter who came to the countryside to receive goods.

And there happened to be such an incense burner in his home. It looked very simple in appearance. If the other party didn't know the goods, he might buy it as a treasure.

He needs money now. There is nothing left at home that can be sold.

Even if all the wine bottles in the place were sold, they would only cost a few cents, which was not enough for him to play with.

Five dollars is enough for you to "make a comeback"!

He thought in his heart that as long as he got the money and went to stud, if he was lucky, he might be able to turn around.

By then you will be at the peak of your life.

When Lin Ran paid for it, he was already daydreaming in his mind.

"Okay, just pay the price of five yuan, pay with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other hand."

Lin Ran took out five yuan in cash from his pocket and handed it to Li Ke.

Li Ke's hand was shaking when he took the money.

But after he got the money, he smiled broadly and the gloom on his face just now disappeared.

Li Ke is very thin, with almost no flesh visible on his face, so when he smiles, he looks a little scary.

"I'll give you the money, then I..."

Before Lin Ran finished speaking, Li Ke stopped smiling.

Are you planning to turn your back on the person after taking the money?

Li Ke handed the incense burner into Lin Ran's arms and pulled him out of the house.

At the same time, he took out a lock and locked the door.

Although he has nothing of value in his home, locking the door is like a ritual to him.

After the door was closed, he turned around and yelled at Lin Ran: "Collection of rags, now that you have got your things, get out of here."

"Don't pass on your bad luck to me!"

Lin Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that the person in front of him was too incompetent.

But before he could reply, the other party had already trotted away and quickly disappeared around the corner.

"What a weirdo." Lin Ran muttered in his heart.

Seeing how anxious he was, what on earth did he want to do?

However, Lin Ran has never been in the habit of meddling in other people's business, so this trip to Xiping Village was not in vain. The Xuande stove in his hand was barely a treasure!

It’s a worthwhile trip!
