At noon, He Yusheng and Zhou Xiaobai had a meal in the school cafeteria.
"Brother He, why didn't you test me?”Zhou Xiaobai said. She had been watching very seriously this morning to prepare for He Yusheng's assessment.
"I saw your performance in the morning. There's no need for the assessment.”He Yusheng laughed.
"Then how about we go out and play in the afternoon?”Zhou Xiaobai asked with some anticipation.
"You can go out, but not to play.”He Yusheng said.
"Then what for?" Zhou Xiaobai asked.
"I'm going to buy you some tutoring books. You have to finish them on time in the future.”He Yusheng said. With Zhou Xiaobai's character, if he didn't urge him, he might really be crippled in the future.
"Ah?" Zhou Xiaobai's small face immediately turned bitter.
"Unless our agreement ends here, there is no room for discussion.”He Yusheng said.
At the mention of the agreement, Zhou Xiaobai's expression immediately changed. He promised,""I'll definitely study hard."
"Then let's go."
He Yusheng brought Zhou Xiaobai to a nearby bookstore. The bookstore's business wasn't very good. When the two of them came, there wasn't even a single person buying books.
"What books do you want to buy?" The manager of the bookstore came up to him.
"Do you have a tutorial book for the second grade?" He Yusheng asked. Zhou Xiaobai was still in the second year of middle school. Sometimes, he wondered if he had some special hobby that he wouldn't even let go of a little girl in the second year of middle school.
"Yes, they are all on the second bookshelf. You can choose for yourselves.”the bookstore manager said.
He Yusheng walked over. There were very few tutoring books in this era. There were only a few of them, and in his opinion, they were not very useful.
However, it was better to have something than nothing. He Yusheng chose two slightly better books and thought to himself that when he had time, he would get some information for Zhou Xiaobai to use. With his current ability, this was not difficult for him.
Just as he was about to pay the bill, He Yusheng saw a pile of old books in the corner and asked,"Are these old books for sale?"
"Ten cents a book, you can choose whatever you want.”the bookstore manager said.
He Yusheng flipped through the pages seriously. There were all kinds of books in the pile of old books. There were some good books among them. He picked 20 to 30 books at once.
"That's three yuan and twenty cents." The bookstore manager did some calculations.
After He Yusheng paid, he left with Zhou Xiaobai.
"Let me send you back." He Yusheng said.
"But it's still early. Can you go back later?”Zhou Xiaobai said reluctantly.
"No, you have to study hard now. The next time we go out to play, we'll have fun.”He Yusheng refused directly.
"Alright then." Zhou Xiaobai could only agree.
After sending Zhou Xiaobai back, He Yusheng visited Zheng Qian and Teacher Zhang Wenhui. He had been busy with the Metalwork Laboratory and hadn't been here.
He accompanied Teacher Zheng Qian for a few rounds until four or five o'clock in the afternoon before leaving.
As soon as he left, Zheng Tong followed.
"Big Brother He, Yuan Jun and I got another good thing. Do you want it?”Zheng Tong asked.
"Where is it? Show it to me." He Yusheng asked. He definitely didn't mind having too many old items.
"It's in Yuan Jun's hands. I'll take you there now.”Zheng Tong said.
"Alright." He Yusheng nodded.
Under Zheng Tong's lead, the two of them came to a remote alley. Yuan Jun had been waiting here for a long time. However, other than Yuan Jun, there was also a six or seven-year-old child.
"Big Brother He, let me introduce you. This is the younger brother of a friend of mine, his name is Ning Wei.”Zheng Tong introduced.
When He Yusheng heard this name, he knew who it was.
In Blood Romance, Ning Wei was the one who caused the most regret. Because his brother was stabbed to death by Little Rascal, his personality became eccentric. He originally had a bright future ahead of him, but now, he was walking down a path of no return.
"Hello, Big Brother He." Ning Wei greeted.
"Hello," He Yusheng nodded in response.
"Zheng Tong, why are you only here now? I've been waiting for more than an hour. If you're still not here, I'll go back.”Yuan Jun complained.
"My dad has been pulling Brother He to play chess. What can I do?”Zheng Tong said. He couldn't let his parents know about this, so he could only do it in private.
"Don't say so much. If there's anything good, quickly take it out and let me see.”He Yusheng said.
"This is it." Yuan Jun took out a bowl from under his clothes.
He Yusheng took it and looked at it carefully.
The bowl had a curved mouth, a deep belly, and a slightly curved foot. The body was light and thin, and the whole body was covered with glaze. It was light azure, lustrous and pure. There were small patterns on the glaze, and there were five small nail marks on the outer bottom.
"The shape is neat, the texture is delicate, and the glaze is like the blue sky reflected by the lake. This is the Song Dynasty Ru kiln azure glaze bowl.”He Yusheng did the appraisal, but he did not say it out loud.
There were five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty: Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, and Ding. The Ru kiln was the first of the five famous kilns. It had only existed for more than 20 years, and the porcelain produced was very few.
There were only sixty-seven and a half pieces of Ru kiln porcelain left behind from later generations. Most of them were collected in various major museum collections. There were only a few pieces in the hands of private collectors.
Since ancient times, there had been a saying that even if one had a lot of money, it was not as good as Ru porcelain.
One could imagine how precious Ru porcelain was. Even a piece of it was very valuable, let alone a complete Ru porcelain azure glazed bowl.
Its value was even higher than the Yuan Dynasty blue flower cloud dragon pattern plum vase.
However, although He Yusheng was very excited in his heart, his face was as calm as water. This was a habit he had developed from collecting old items for a long time. Before the transaction was completed, he would not show any emotion.
"Big Brother He, this is a bowl from the Song Dynasty. It has a history of several hundred years more than the previous bowl.”Zheng Tong saw that He Yusheng had not spoken for a long time and thought that He Yusheng had not noticed, so he reminded him.
"That's right, it's a bowl from the Song Dynasty. How much do you want?”He Yusheng asked indifferently.
"Five hundred." Yuan Jun stretched out five fingers. He had already discussed the price with Zheng Tong. Unfortunately, he did not know that Zheng Tong was also a half-baked person. He could only tell that this bowl was from the Song Dynasty. He could not even tell that it was produced in the Ru kiln, let alone its specific origin.
"Five hundred is too expensive. Three hundred at most.”He Yusheng bargained. He thought to himself,'Just because you called me a stupid intellectual last time, I have to cut off this 200 yuan.'
"Brother He, we sold the bowl last time at a low price. This bowl has a few hundred years of history.”Zheng Tong said.
"300 is already a lot. Go to the commission bank and ask. They will only give you 80 at most.”He Yusheng wasn't lying to them. The commission bank really only had this price.
"Alright, 300 then." Yuan Jun immediately agreed.
He Yusheng took out 300 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Yuan Jun. Then, he brought over the blue glazed bowl.
"You can come to me if you have good things next time. I'll be leaving first.”He Yusheng laughed.
He Yusheng was in a very good mood after obtaining such a rare treasure.
