Rebirth started from selling lunch boxes and reached the pinnacle of life

Chapter 78 Cao Lijin



Liu Yihang reacted and said hurriedly: "These gourds are quite cute."

The boss gave the change to Liu Yihang and said with a smile: "Since you are Lao Yuan's friend, I will give you one, pick it yourself!"

Liu Yihang waved his hand quickly: "How can I give it away? Are you selling these? How much does each one cost? Let me buy one!"

The boss is very happy with his knowledge.

"These gourds are all made by my father. They are all handicrafts. Occasionally, there are customers who like them in the store. I usually sell them for 50 to [-] yuan. If you like them, you can pick one for yourself. It's free of charge."

Liu Yihang silently took out 50 yuan and put it on the counter. He raised his hand and took off the gourd pendant held by the treasure hunter mouse and played with it in his hand.

"You pick the big one! The small one is for you. It's not worth anything." The boss took the money embarrassedly.

Liu Yihang smiled secretly. Although they were big, they were not what he wanted.

Yuan Tiangang was about to come over to settle the bill when he saw Liu Yihang had already settled the bill.

"I agreed to treat you to Lao Yuan, why did you give me the money?"

"Mr. Yuan, I made a fortune today, please let me be the host!" Liu Yihang said humbly.

Yuan Tiangang said: "Don't do this again next time!" But there was a smile on his face.

He doesn't lack for this meal, he just likes young people like this, who are enlightened and interesting.

The four of them walked out together.

Liu Yihang handed the pendant he just got to Yunyin: "I just saw a small gadget, and I gave it to you to play with."

Yunyin took the gourd and said happily: "What a cute gourd. I want to hang it on my schoolbag."

Yuan Tiangang glanced casually.

"I just bought this from the boss? How much did he charge you?"

"Fifty!" Liu Yihang replied honestly.

Yunyin pouted, 50 yuan can last for more than ten days, this thing is too expensive.

Yuan Tiangang also said with an unhappy face: "This boss, my little brother dared to cheat you. This thing costs at most ten yuan, but because of his father's good craftsmanship, he actually cheated you by 50 yuan."

Liu Yihang thought to himself, if you knew its true value, you should say that I cheated him.

He was about to explain that the boss wanted to send him here.

Xiang Tianhong suddenly said: "Classmate Yun, can you show me the gourd in your hand?"

Yunyin naturally handed it to him.

Yuan Tiangang said with a smile: "Xiang boy, are you crazy? How can I not know? This is a pure handicraft. The boss and his father grew it and processed it by himself."

Xiang Tianhong was not affected by his words. He took it and looked at it carefully, and then looked at Liu Yihang in disbelief.

"Uncle Yuan, don't talk too much, or you may flash your tongue." Xiang Tianhong raised his head and said with a joking smile.

"I don't believe it anymore. Can this gourd be made of gold?" Yuan Tiangang didn't believe in evil and grabbed it.

After looking at it carefully, he widened his eyes and said with disbelief: "What a fool, it really turned into gold. This is grass gold! It's still old grass gold."

Yuan Tiangang put the small gourd in Liu Yihang's hand without believing anything evil, turned around and returned to the store.

He searched all the small gourd handicraft pendants in the store and couldn't find any Cao Lijin, so he gave up and walked out.

Seeing his appearance, the boss asked suspiciously: "Lao Yuan, what's going on?"

"What's wrong? You've made a mistake!" Lao Yuan teased.

This guy must have thought he had made a fortune by charging 50 yuan. He must not have expected that an old Caoli golden gourd would be mixed in among the small gourd pendants in his shop, right?

I don’t know where this gourd came from.

The boss was very free and easy: "I'm a rough guy. Even if the treasure is placed in front of me, I don't recognize it. There's nothing I can do about it. Whoever earns it gets the same amount of money."

Yuan Tiangang smiled and said: "That's right! Everyone has his own way of living."

"Young man Liu, why don't you recruit him from the ground up! You said you don't know how to play, there are so many small gourds, how come you picked this one?" Yuan Tiangang pulled Liu Yihang and asked reluctantly.

Liu Yihang continued to pretend to be stupid: "Maybe it's just eye contact, I liked it as soon as I saw it!"

Yuan Tiangang didn't ask any more questions. This was someone else's business.

Yunyin was extremely interested in the origin of this gourd.

Although Liu Yihang understood, he could only pretend not to understand.

The two of them looked at Xiang Tianhong with eagerness for knowledge.

Xiang Tianhong explained: “The most expensive gourd in the world is Caolijin.

This is a kind of Wenwan gourd, and the price is very expensive.

In the Ming Dynasty, Caolijin was loved by many people. At that time, the price of a Caolijin gourd was about 30 taels of silver.

There are two main reasons why its price is so high. The first is that it is rare. It is not that the output is small, but that the smaller the size of the gourd, the lower the maturity.

Small gourds have poor vitality, and the slightest disturbance may end their lives early.

Therefore, even if the small-sized Cao Lijin grows more, very few will eventually mature.

Caolijin is inherently expensive. The one in the hands of Mr. Yun looks like an old object that has been played with for a long time. It is at least several decades old. I don’t know how it was obtained by the boss by chance and hung in the store. sell.

The market price of this gourd can now be upwards of 50 yuan. Student Liu paid [-] yuan for it, so it was considered a miss. "

Xiang Tianhong looked at it with some envy. Eyesight and luck are sometimes important. He had been to this store several times and looked at the gourds when checking out, but he did not find this special gourd.

But Liu Yihang, a fool, discovered that, it must be said that time is also fate, and when playing with antiques, sometimes strength is not as good as luck.

Regardless of whether Liu Yihang really doesn't understand or pretends not to understand, his strength cannot be underestimated.

"Is it so powerful?" Yunyin looked at the gourd happily, not only because of its value, but because it was given by Liu Yihang, and because the story gave it a magical veil, making it mysterious. .

Liu Yihang felt happy when he saw that Yunyin liked her.

"Let me hang it on your schoolbag for you!" He remembered that Yunyin had just said that he wanted to hang it on his schoolbag.

"No, I want to keep such a precious thing well. What if it's hung on my schoolbag and someone takes it away?" Yunyin proudly put the small gourd into her pocket and hid it.

At this moment, at the other moment, she didn't know the value of this gourd just now, but now she knows it, of course she can't treat it as an ordinary handicraft.

Liu Yihang smiled helplessly and let her go.

The two were ready to go back to school.

Thinking of Liu Yihang's good luck, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart, and called out to Liu Yihang: "Boy Liu, are you interested in betting on stones? It's very fun."

"Betting on stones?" Liu Yihang was puzzled.

Xiang Tianhong seemed to disapprove: "Uncle Yuan, you'd better not take him with you, right?"

"Oh, what's the matter? Just take a look. Just don't play. It's an eye-opener for young people." Yuan Tiangang didn't care.

"Don't listen to the boy Xiang. Betting on stones is betting on jade. One knife will make you poor and the other will make you rich. It's a test of your heart. Do you want to go?"

Yuan Tiangang's description successfully aroused the interest of Yunyin and Liu Yihang. They really wanted to see it, but it was so late and it was not good not to tell their family.

So Liu Yihang borrowed Yuan Tiangang's eldest brother and made a call to a phone booth near his home, asking the eldest sister at the phone booth to tell his parents that he would go back later tonight.
