After Yang Zhaozhao turned into the alley, he hid in the space.
The person who was following him entered the alley, but didn't see Yang Zhaozhao. He was stunned for a moment: "How could he disappear? He couldn't have run that fast!"
"Where are the people?"
After looking around for a while but didn't see Yang Zhaozhao, the man frowned and finally gave up and left.
Yang Zhaozhao quietly followed the man and rode his bicycle after him.
He saw him go to the dark side of the air-raid shelter again and say a few words to Wang Dajun who was smoking under a tree. The distance was too far for Yang Zhaozhao to hear.
However, one thing is certain, that is, Wang Dajun has set his sights on him.
What is his purpose?
Yang Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he would have to be more careful in the future.
When he arrived at Grandma Cui's house, Li Yiling had already arrived. He was busy in the kitchen. He smelled a burnt odor and opened the lid of the pot to see that the rice was burnt.
Li Yiling: "......"
"You put in too little water and the fire was too big. Be more careful next time. I'll serve out the edible ones and give the inedible ones to feed my neighbor's chickens." Although large-scale chicken farming is not allowed nowadays, each household can still raise two chickens.
Grandma Cui didn’t have enough food to eat herself, so there was no extra food to feed the chickens.
Yang Zhaozhao watched the four people eating, and cooked a big pot of dumplings with pork and green onions. They all liked them very much, eating each dumpling in two bites without too much savory taste.
After dinner, Li Yiling washed the dishes and handed her a book: "This is a book I found today. You can take a look. It should be helpful for your studies."
"Thank you!" Yang Zhaozhao took the book and took a look. It was about mathematics and it was indeed helpful.
Yang Zhaozhao's math is his weak point, but Li Yiling is good at it. Now Yang Zhaozhao spends time studying math every day, and asks him for help if he doesn't understand something.
Every time Li Yiling explained to Yang Zhaozhao patiently.
Under the light, the two heads put together looked into Grandma Cui's eyes, as if she saw her son and daughter-in-law.
Looking at Xiao Cui who was sleeping soundly after washing her hands and feet and wiping her neck, I felt at ease this winter.
Before going to bed, Yang Zhaozhao put the snuff bottle into the material space for evaluation.
Material Space: [Xianfeng era blue and white porcelain snuff bottle, slightly flawed, appraised value 1,000 yuan, is it worth repaying?]
"㳎."
Material Space: [Repayment of 1,000 yuan, current outstanding balance: 108,493 yuan.]
Yang Zhaozhao clenched his fist and said, "He has the nerve to ask me for a thousand. Wang Dajun is really a cunning man. He even dared to have someone follow me."
I thought we could have a pleasant cooperation, but now it seems that some people are not honest.
Yang Zhaozhao had to be on guard against Wang Dajun, lest he trick her without her knowing it.
He sold fake goods before and then tried to cheat me out of my money.
Yang Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes and labeled Wang Dajun a liar.
At this time, Wang Dajun went to see his seventh master and told him what happened today: "She took a look at it and recognized that the Jianzhan was fake. She also took a look at the snuff bottle and decided to buy it."
"It seems she's quite capable at appraising treasures." Master Qi took a puff of his cigarette, a gleam of brilliance flashing in his weathered eyes. "Yu Hai has been arrested, and we can't be without professionals in the field of appraising treasures. If this girl can be won over, it's best to do it."
Wang Dajun nodded: "Yes."
"Also, have the people who ruined our business several times been found? I heard they were a man and a woman." Master Qi suffered a lot of losses and was still brooding over the matter.
"It's under investigation."
"We must find those people before the New Year. We can't let them ruin our plans again." The pipe was placed on the table, and the Seventh Master had a cruel look on his face.
Wang Dajun nodded.
The Seventh Master said again: "Let's take a few things to test her ability and see if she can really identify treasures at a glance."
"Yes." When Wang Dajun left the yard, he had a few small things in his hands.
The next day, Grandma Cui was taken for a check-up. The doctor said that she had recovered well, her muscle atrophy was not serious, and she was being well taken care of, so they were asked to continue to maintain her condition.
Yang Zhaozhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that her efforts were in vain.
After checking on the Yi family, Yang Zhaozhao and everyone had noodles with gravy at noon. It was a tomato and egg stew prepared by Yang Zhaozhao. Everyone ate a big bowl, and Li Yiling finished it in one gulp.
"Are you going out this afternoon?" Li Yiling knew that Yang Zhaozhao couldn't stay at home.
Yang Zhaozhao nodded: "Let's go and take a look at it in black."
"Me too." Li Yiling put on a scarf and a cotton jacket.
Yang Zhaozhao couldn't refuse. Thinking about how she was followed yesterday, it would be safer to have Li Yiling by her side.
This time, Wang Dajun was promised fifty bicycles to be placed in another location. Wang Dajun looked at Li Yiling, then at Yang Zhaozhao, and thought of what Qi Ye said yesterday.
Li Yiling saw Wang Dajun staring at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
The fierce and tough look made Wang Dajun smile ingratiatingly: "I've always seen my eldest sister come out alone. It's rare to see my eldest brother. You two don't look like brother and sister."
Li Yiling nodded calmly: "No."
They weren't brothers, but they worked together. Wang Dajun thought, "Are you husband and wife?"
Li Yiling nearly choked on his saliva, his ears burning. He glanced at Yang Zhaozhao, who was counting money, and asked, "What's our relationship? Does it have anything to do with selling bicycles?"
Wang Dajun felt a little embarrassed after being confronted, but he didn't dare to act arrogantly when looking at the cold and hard Li Yiling.
Yang Zhaozhao confirmed that the number was correct and asked Li Yiling to go out and see if there were any fresh vegetables to buy for dinner.
Li Yiling knew that she wanted to get rid of him and to embarrass her, so he left.
Wang Dajun motioned Yang Zhaozhao to come over and took out a bag from behind a rock. "This is what my brother collected. Take a look and see if there's anything you like."
Yang Zhaozhao opened it and saw that apart from a snuff bottle, there were some small items such as pots, pans, and bowls. All of them had some flaws and the smell was not strong.
Some have no taste at all and are fake.
Although some of them have a smell, they are actually grafted. One-third of them are real, and the rest are fake and repaired.
The only thing of some value is a jade pendant, which is exquisitely carved and has a stronger flavor, so it is worth collecting.
Wang Dajun saw Yang Zhaozhao focusing on the jade pendant and not even looking at anything else. He suppressed his surprise and asked with a smile, "Why don't you look at the others?"
"No, let's just take this one. How much is it?" The others were not worth buying, so Yang Zhaozhao would not waste money.
"This is jade, real jade, not cheap, at least five yuan." Wang Dajun knew that she was good at bargaining, so he didn't ask her for too high a price.
"I want it on April 5th." Yang Zhaozhao was also straightforward.
Wang Dajun smiled and nodded: "We will continue to cooperate in the future. I'll give you a favor and charge 4.5 yuan." Then he recommended other things.
Especially the snuff bottle: "This one is similar to yesterday's. You don't want it?"
Yang Zhaozhao didn't smell much and shook his head to refuse.
Wang Dajun's eyes flickered, and he didn't insist any more. He accepted the four and a half yuan and said, "Since you are an expert in these things, are you going to keep the antiques for yourself or sell them?"
"I don't want to talk about it." Yang Zhaozhao played with the jade pendant for a while, put it in his pocket, and stared at Wang Dajun with a pair of sharp eyes: "I'm not interested in Brother Wang's affairs. I hope Brother Wang will be less curious about me."
Yang Zhaozhao smiled and said, "After all, curiosity kills the cat, meow~"
Wang Dajun: “…”
I always feel like she seems to know something?
Could it be that she discovered the person she was following yesterday?
Yang Zhaozhao ignored Wang Dajun's anxious look and waited for Li Yiling to arrive before placing the jade pendant into the material storage space: [This jade pendant was made during the reign of Emperor Muzong of the Ming Dynasty. It is valued at 4,000. Is it worth repaying?]
"Yes." No matter big fish or small shrimp, as long as it can pay off the debt, Yang Zhaozhao will not miss it.
Material Space: [Currently, the remaining debt is 104,493 yuan. Countdown is 30 days. Please hurry up and pay off the debt, otherwise you will be forced to revert to the original plot, which is irreversible.]
Yang Zhaozhao: “…”
