Although three hundred yuan is not a lot, it is obviously not worthwhile to use it to buy these broken porcelain pieces and glass bottles.
The old servant was only asking for an exorbitant price because he had an Asian face.
Seeing that Liu Yihang genuinely liked these pieces of junk, Jerry stepped forward and held up five fingers: "Five pounds is more like it."
The old servant waved his hand: "No, these are truly things left behind by my master before his death. Although they are very old, they are absolutely treasures."
"Damn it, then you can stay and guard these treasures." Jerry pretended to leave.
"Ten pounds, no less!" the old man shouted.
Jerry wanted to haggle a bit more, but Liu Yihang saw several people gathering around to watch the commotion. To avoid any complications, he nodded in agreement and casually took out ten pounds and handed it to the old man.
This was exchanged by Miao Cuihua before she went abroad, and it came in handy.
With the money and goods settled, Jerry helped carry the box of broken porcelain shards, and the two strolled leisurely around the castle.
"Liu, you've been fooled by him. You shouldn't have given him so much money. These things are just junk." Although Jerry helped the auction house receive guests, he actually came from a humble background, knew nothing about antiques, and earned his money through hard work, running around with the clients.
Liu Yihang smiled upon hearing this, thinking that Jerry was indeed a good person.
He opened the glass bottle, poured out two ancient coins, rubbed them in his hands, and casually placed the bottle on a nearby cabinet.
Jerry looked at him, puzzled. "Didn't we just buy this? Why don't you want it anymore?"
“Jerry, do you know anything about antiques?” Liu Yihang asked him in return.
"Antiques? Things from a very long time ago?"
"That's roughly the idea. You know, China has a splendid civilization spanning five thousand years, leaving behind many precious cultural relics."
What we have in our hands happens to be some antiques.
So, not only did he fail to cheat me, but I also managed to get a large sum of money from him.
"Like this coin in my hand, it's worth four or five hundred thousand pounds." Liu Yihang said confidently, holding up the mother sculptor.
"Four or five hundred thousand pounds? God, did I hear that right?" Jerry's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the box he was holding.
Fortunately, Liu Yihang reacted quickly and caught it, preventing a catastrophic shattering.
Liu Yihang had intended to say that the things he had might be more valuable than this sculpted mother piece, but in the end, he didn't provoke him.
"Yes, this is an ancient Chinese coin from more than two hundred years ago. It is a very special ancestral coin, so it is very valuable."
"That's so cool! You bought something worth four or five hundred thousand pounds for only ten pounds! Liu, you're amazing!" Jerry exclaimed excitedly, no longer thinking that ten pounds was expensive.
Liu Yihang smiled and released the treasure-hunting rat as he walked, letting it search the castle.
Foreigners are freebies, why not take advantage of them?
The treasure-hunting rat continued on its way, and Liu Yihang quickened his pace to keep up. It led the two of them to a small corridor.
Although the place is now a mess, it's easy to see that someone once built a lovely little home for their beloved dog here.
The treasure-hunting mouse paused for a moment next to the doghouse, emitting a faint blue glow, indicating that there was treasure there, but its value was not particularly high.
Liu Yihang used his X-ray vision to see and discovered a small cup hidden under the cushion in the doghouse; to be precise, it looked more like a foreigner's coffee cup.
He simply didn't know what was so special about this cup that even the treasure-hunting rat would pause for a moment to look at it.
No matter how brilliant Xiang Yizhai is, he can't possibly be familiar with all the world's cultural relics, so Liu Yihang was completely baffled at the moment.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Liu Yihang lifted the cushion in the doghouse and quickly took out the cup.
Jerry examined it closely, his eyes widening: "Isn't this royal tableware?"
"You know him?" Liu Yihang handed him the cup and took the box from his hand.
Jerry stared at the cup with shining eyes, then looked around and found no one was there.
He whispered, "This was once the exclusive porcelain of the British royal family, bone china."
Half of its raw material is animal bone meal, and the production process is complex, requiring repeated firing, making the finished product very expensive.
Look, it not only looks crystal clear and transparent, but it also maintains a better temperature than ordinary porcelain, and its texture is very hard, making it not easy to break.
Liu Yihang listened with great interest. "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me." Although Jerry didn't understand Chinese antiques, he had a deep understanding of British culture, which was a lesson for him.
"Then, this cup is yours."
Liu Yihang immediately said that he would give the cup to Jerry, since it wasn't easy for him to come out with him.
He himself had no interest in collecting British artifacts, and besides, this was found in the doghouse; it was probably some naughty child who stole the adults' tableware for the dog.
Jerry exclaimed in surprise, "But you're the one who found this! Let's split it in half!"
"I don't need it, this is enough." Liu Yihang looked at his bag, which contained the ancient coins he had just found at a bargain price.
Seeing that he was being sincere, Jerry happily said, "Thank you, Liu."
The two were delayed for a few minutes, and the treasure-hunting rat had run far away. Liu Yihang slowly searched for it and found it in a storage room.
It's called a storage room because, looking through the window, you can see sports equipment and other odds and ends piled up haphazardly. These things are so dilapidated that the old servant is too lazy to even clean them out and sell them.
The treasure-hunting rat kept circling in the storage room, its body emitting a blinding red light.
Liu Yihang was taken aback. He used his X-ray vision to examine everything in the storage room, but found nothing suspicious, just some ordinary junk.
Could it be that he's ignorant and thinks all this junk is a treasure? That doesn't seem likely.
After pacing back and forth for more than ten seconds, Liu Yihang suddenly remembered the priceless chicken cup hidden in the wall when he was searching for old houses last time.
So he quickly used his X-ray vision to look at the surrounding walls.
It was empty; it was just an ordinary wall.
Until his gaze fell on the ground.
Liu Yihang could hardly believe his eyes. What was he seeing?
