"Ye Fan, when is the exciting time you were talking about?”Cheng Qingyu was still thinking about Ye Fan's random nonsense at that time. This made it difficult for Ye Fan to end it.
"Just stay here and keep track of my accounts. You don't have to worry about anything else. Just wait and watch the show.”Ye Fan could only brace himself and continue to lie.
After another ten minutes, Ye Fan saw that quite a number of people had arrived. He looked at Huang Linsheng in the crowd with approval and thought,"Brother Huang is indeed efficient.”
Clearing his throat, Ye Fan shouted loudly,"Alright, everyone, now that most of the people have arrived, we will officially begin the acquisition. Please line up first and don't come one by one. Please rest assured that we will buy as much as you have.”
After saying that, the villagers had already consciously lined up in a long line. Everyone was carrying a bag or a small bag in their hands. Inside were the cultural relics worth hundreds of thousands or even millions. However, under Li Luo's bluff, they all became the purchase price of 20 yuan each. Ye Fan was really impressed by Li Luo's move.
"Remember the accounts well. It's okay to take it slow, but you must remember them clearly, understand?”When Ye Fan said this, his expression was very serious. Cheng Qingyu also realized that this matter could not be careless, so he nodded seriously and said,"Don't worry, there won't be any mistakes."
"The jade is simple and unadorned. It is warm and cool to the touch. It feels delicate and slightly heavy. The knife technique is consistent.”Ye Fan held a jade artifact and pretended to say a string of appraisal results. Then, he handed it to Cheng Qingyu for her to record.
The so-called putting on an act was just something that Li Luo had instructed him to do before he left. Only then could they show their professionalism and make the villagers feel that they were not scammers. Only then could they take out all the cultural relics in their hands and buy them here.
"His carving skills are smooth and skillful. The color of the jade surface was round, the color of the jade was pure, and the carvings were meticulous and did not hurt the jade surface. The appraisal result was authentic.”Although the villagers here did not understand the appraisal language that Ye Fan casually said, their evaluation of Ye Fan was much higher in their hearts. They thought that this was indeed an expert-level master and would definitely not cheat them.
" The lines are complicated and delicate, the color is natural, the lines are dense, and the jade quality is old..." Ye Fan took the ancient seal from an old man: He looked back and forth and was very interested in this item."Girl, give this uncle a hundred yuan. This thing is worth this price.”
When the old man heard that he was going to pay 100 yuan for this item, he was so excited that his face turned red. He quickly thanked him,"Thank you, expert. Thank you, expert. You really have discerning eyes and don't cheat us commoners.”
Cheng Qingyu almost fell to the ground when he heard the old man's praise for Ye Fan."If you knew that these cultural relics were worth hundreds of thousands or millions, you definitely wouldn't say these words of thanks. At that time, you might even want to tear this guy apart.”
"Uncle, you're too polite. This item is worth this money.”Ye Fan wiped his sweat and felt a little guilty. After all, the true value of this item was a few more zeros than a hundred yuan.
" There are no impurities. It's warm and cool to the touch. The characteristics of the era are distinct..." Ye Fan held this item and casually made up some professional comments from the villagers, but at this moment, his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
The hand holding the item trembled with excitement."Aunt, where did you find this thing? It's not bad. It's much more valuable than other things.”Ye Fan planned to beat around the bush and ask where this thing was dug out from.
The aunt who came to buy this item said,"Hello, expert. My old man fished this out of his lake last year.”
"The lake?" Ye Fan looked at the aunt in confusion.
"A few years ago, Dashui and Dashun made money by raising fish, so many people in our village followed them to raise fish. My old man rented a fish pond the size of two acres to raise fish.”The old woman was afraid that Ye Fan would not accept it and hurriedly explained.
Ye Fan smiled and nodded at her."Girl, give this aunt a thousand yuan.”
"Yes, alright." Cheng Qingyu mechanically took out a thousand yuan and handed it to the old woman, but his gaze was fixed on the thing in Ye Fan's hand.
Ye Fan put away the things in his hand and stood up. He said to an archaeologist who came with him,"Brother Wang, help me collect it for a while. This thing is very valuable. I need to call Uncle Li to report it.”
The person whom Ye Fan called Brother Wang nodded."Don't worry, I have some experience in appraising these things. I won't make a mistake.”
Ye Fan also smiled and nodded. He let Cheng Qingyu continue to keep the accounts while he ran into the house and took out his phone to call Li Luo.
"Ye Fan, the old man just left and called me in the afternoon. Is there anything new?”Li Luo's voice sounded a little tired. After all, Li Luo hadn't slept well for the past two days. In addition, he was a little old, and the continuous fatigue was making his body unable to take it.
"Uncle Li, how's the appraisal of the nine-dragon painting coming along?”
"I just returned to the Cultural Relics Bureau. The experts will only be able to hold an appraisal tomorrow.”Li Luo asked.
"Uncle Li, Cheng Qingyu and I collected the lost cultural relics at the fishery tonight and received the second Nine Dragon Phoenix Painting.”That's right, the thing Ye Fan received from that aunt was the Nine Dragon Style.
After Li Luo heard Ye Fan mention the Nine Dragons Painted Phoenix, his voice immediately raised a few notches."What? Ye Fan, what did you say? Are you sure it's the Nine Dragons Painted Phoenix?"
"Absolutely." Ye Fan replied in a deep voice.
"How did you deal with this matter? Did you also receive 20 yuan?”Li Luo asked after a moment of silence.
Ye Fan did not plan to hide it and told the truth,"No, I asked Xiao Yu to give that aunt 1,000 yuan. I wanted to give him more, but the funds are not enough. Moreover, this place is remote. It's too late to go to the bank to withdraw the money tonight.”
Ye Fan's answer made Li Luo very satisfied. Originally, 20 yuan to buy the lost cultural relics in the hands of the villagers made Li Luo feel uneasy. If Ye Fan also bought this Nine Dragons Phoenix Painting at this ultra-low price, it would only make Li Luo's conscience even more uneasy.
"By the way, did you ask where this Nine Dragon Phoenix Painting was found?”Li Luo's wise eyes lit up, like a wise man who had discovered the existence of a problem.
Ye Fan sighed and said,"This Nine Dragon Painted Phoenix has nothing to do with the tomb. According to that person, this Nine Dragon Painted Phoenix was fished out from his own fish pond. Moreover, I've also looked at it carefully. Compared to the one you took away, this Nine Dragon Painted Phoenix has a stronger spirituality. Clearly, it has become like this after years of nurturing."”
The so-called warm nourishment here was only because it was soaked in water all year round to wash away the impurities and dust on the surface of the jade, making it more spiritual and pleasing to the eye.
Li Luo also felt that there was something strange about this matter. He could only sigh."Ye Fan, put away the Nine Dragon Phoenix Painting first. When I go back, we'll study it together. If nothing goes wrong, I'll be able to go over tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow.”
"Yes, alright." Ye Fan could only wait for Li Luo to come back and discuss this matter with him. After all, he was just an outsider, and Li Luo was the one in charge of the archaeological matter.
After talking to Li Luo for a while, Ye Fan hung up the phone and walked into the courtyard. At this moment, Cheng Qingyu and the archeologist surnamed Wang had also finished purchasing the cultural relics. There were a total of 387 pieces, most of which were sold for 20 yuan. Some of the more valuable ones were sold for 100 to 300 yuan.
"Ye Fan, what did you and Uncle Li talk about on the phone?”Cheng Qingyu frowned and asked. Her pure face was filled with curiosity.
"We chatted casually. Uncle Li said that he would be back the day after tomorrow. We'll discuss this matter in detail after he comes back.”Ye Fan carefully wrapped the Nine Dragon Painted Phoenix.
The night was extremely quiet.
Ye Fan looked at the time. It was already two o'clock in the morning. This was also the time when people slept the most.
Getting up from the bed, Ye Fan quietly went to the tomb on the mountain: "Aiyo, Brother Wang, you're still awake?”
As soon as he arrived, Ye Fan saw the archeologist surnamed Wang who was on night duty, so he went forward to greet him.
The man named Wang grinned and said,"I'm on night duty today. Ye Fan, why did you come over in the middle of the night? Didn't Qing Yu come with you?”
Ye Fan pursed his lips and said," It's like this. Brother Wang, I want to borrow two people from you to go down to the tomb to take a look. Tonight, I asked Xiao Yu to give that aunt 1,000 yuan. The thing she received was very unusual, so I want to go down and take a look.”
"I see." The man named Wang was a little troubled." Uncle Li also said that you can enter the tomb whenever he's not here. However, it's already past midnight. Everyone still has work to do tomorrow. It's not appropriate for them to enter the tomb with you at this time. Why don't we go in tomorrow?”
Ye Fan took out a cigarette and handed it to him."I came here in the middle of the night to avoid that girl, Cheng Qingyu. If I go in tomorrow, she'll definitely ask to come with me.”
"Qing Yu?" "Why are you hiding from her?" asked Wang.”
"This time, I entered the tomb because I was lacking something. I will stay down there for a longer time. If I let her follow me down, I'm afraid she won't be able to stay long with her physical fitness.”Ye Fan said the reason why he didn't bring Cheng Qingyu.
"It's like this. It's true that the ventilation down there is poor. Qing Yu really won't be able to stay down there for long.”The archeologist named Wang agreed.
