Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

Chapter 228 The Value of Antiques

After the meal, He Daqing paid the bill. He Yushui wanted to help pay, but was stopped by He Daqing.

After looking at the bill, He Daqing fell silent, but fortunately, he could pay it because he brought all his savings with him.

I didn’t feel like giving it up at this point. We would be colleagues in the future and I couldn’t afford to lose face. But in my heart I still felt sad: my money was only enough for five meals. Was it so expensive?

In fact, he didn't want to think about it. The money he had secretly saved before was all from the White Widow, so it was just a waste. But when he thought about the good salary in the future, he felt better. He didn't have any ideas now. He would give the children some pocket money and treat them to a good meal. He didn't take care of Shazhu and Yushui before, so it would be nice to take care of a few kids now.

On the other hand, Banggeng returned home after wandering around for a few days.

Jia Zhang told Banggeng about the compensation. Banggeng didn't care about the hundred dollars, at least he could go home with a clear conscience.

In the afternoon, Banggeng took the last thing to find Uncle Su Meng. This was found in the mezzanine, so it must be expensive. Now he is not the newbie he was before. After selling it to a few people, he understood that these things have high and low prices. He used to think that Uncle Su Meng was a good person, but now think about it, he is a profiteer, bah.

When Banggeng went there, he found that the original office was closed. There was nothing he could do, so he had to call. No one answered the first call, but someone answered the second one.

Bang Geng told Su Meng's uncle about his idea of ​​selling things, and Su Meng's uncle was very happy. He was just about to open a store, and now there were good things coming to him, right? So he invited Bang Geng to Hou Su'e's teahouse.

Su Meng's uncle ordered some snacks and a pot of tea.

"Little brother, can you take out the things and let us see them?"

Bang Geng took out the things and put them on the table.

Su Meng's uncle picked it up and looked at it carefully.

"Okay, that's good, little brother. I'll keep the old price, five hundred."

After saying that, he took out five hundred yuan.

Bang Geng took the things back.

"Boss, I was ignorant before, so I sold it to you at such a low price. My dad beat me up when I got home, and then I realized that I sold it too cheaply. Now I can't even get 500."

Uncle Su Meng didn’t expect Bang Geng to react, but it doesn’t matter, he is thick-skinned.

"Then I wonder how much you plan to sell this for?"

Banggeng finished the snack in his hand and drank a sip of tea.

"Three thousand. I asked."

Uncle Su Meng put away his smile.

"Little brother, you make an offer, and I'll counter. One thousand?"

Bangge shook his head.

"This is a good thing, more valuable than the ones I sold you before. You are an expert, you should be able to tell the difference. Three thousand, not a cent less."

Uncle Su Meng wanted to bargain further.

"Two thousand, little brother, would you consider it?"

Who knew that Banggeng would just take the things and leave.

"If you don't buy it, there are plenty of people who will."

Su Meng's uncle immediately grabbed the stick.

"Little brother, don't be impatient. How can you do business with such a bad temper? Okay, three thousand is three thousand. We can be considered friends now."

Bang Geng nodded and took the things out.

Su Meng's uncle took out all the money and gave it to him.

After ordering it, I put it in my pocket and left without any problem.

Su Meng's uncle shouted.

"Little brother, if you have anything in the future, keep asking me for it. I want all of it."

Bang Geng didn't answer and opened the door directly, but there was a woman standing at the door.

Hou Su'e was a little embarrassed after being discovered, and raised the water bottle in her hand and said.

"Let me get you some water."

Bang Geng looked at her, said nothing, and walked away.

Hou Su'e walked in.

"Uncle Su Meng, is this a deal?"

Uncle Su Meng was also in a good mood and nodded.

"Look, this thing costs three thousand dollars."

Just as Hou Su'e was about to take action, Su Meng's uncle pulled back.

"You can only look, you can't touch."

Hou Su'e smiled.

"This thing is worth three thousand? Are you kidding me?"

Uncle Su Meng smiled.

"You don't understand. This thing is called an antique. Foreigners like it. I can sell it to foreigners and make a lot of money."

Hou Su'e asked.

"How much can you earn?"

Su Meng's uncle smiled mysteriously.

"I can't tell you, it's a trade secret."

Hou Su'e asked.

"If I can get it, can you help me sell it?"

Su Meng's uncle didn't care either.

"Yes, as long as it's real, I can help you sell it for a good price, but how many can you get? Three or two, it's not worth it."

Hou Su'e got angry when she saw his look.

"Who are you looking down on? My dad has quite a few, and he usually treasures them tightly and won't let me touch them."

Su Meng's uncle rolled his eyes and asked.

"You didn't lie to me, really?"

Hou Su'e said seriously.

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, ask Han Chunming. He often nags my dad and asks for his things. He has a lot of things himself."

Uncle Su Meng nodded.

"As long as you can take it out, I can help you sell it. The price will definitely be high, but I have to charge a small handling fee."

Hou Su'e asked.

"How much?"

Su Meng's uncle laughed.

"Twenty percent."

Hou Su'e was startled.

"I'm selling something, why are you charging so much?"

Su Meng's uncle said confidently.

"Although I collect a lot, I will try my best to sell the items at a high price. This is called a win-win situation for us."

Hou Su'e said.

"I sell things, you collect the money, you win, the more you sell, the more you earn, so you still win, it's a win-win situation, right?"

Uncle Su Meng nodded.

"Wouldn't it be more profitable if you sold more?"

Hou Su'e thought about it and realized that this was the truth.

"Okay, wait, I'll call you when I have it."

After saying that, he left without even taking the water bottle.

Su Meng's uncle smiled and felt a little regretful. If he had known that Han Chunming also had antiques, he should have let Su Meng be with him.

When they got home, Su Meng's uncle showed the things to Su Meng.

Su Meng couldn't understand why at all.

"Uncle, can this thing really be sold for money?"

Uncle Su Meng nodded.

"I just bought this this afternoon for three thousand. I can sell it for more than that when the time comes."

Su Meng was a little bit incredulous, even though she had recently learned some knowledge about antiques.

"I don't know what's so good about this thing. It may not be as beautiful as a glass cup."

Su Meng's uncle said.

"You don't understand. This has its cultural value. By the way, do you know if Han Chunming has these things?"

Su Meng shook her head.

"How could he? He used to be a rag collector, and now he has opened a company."

After saying this, they were both stunned, looked at each other, and said in unison.

"Collecting junk."

Uncle Su Meng understood.

"I thought so. Hou Su'e's father was called Hou Palan, and he also collected junk. Today she said that there were many antiques at home. It seems that Han Chunming started collecting antiques since then. I really made a mistake."

Su Meng said in disbelief.

"Are you saying that Han Chunming understood the value of these things from that time, or that he already knew that these things would be valuable?"

Uncle Su Meng nodded.

"It's almost certain. We all underestimated him."
