Chapter 250: Treasure Hunting in Qin Village

Qin Village

Cao Weiguo rode his bicycle into the village, preparing to collect some old items from the village.

When drinking with Xu Damao, he learned some information from Xu Damao.

There was a man named Qin Ye in this village whose ancestors were wealthy, and there might be good things in his house.

Just happening to have time, he ran over to try his luck.

"Hello, miss, sorry to bother you, may I ask if you know how to get to Qin Ye's house?"

Meeting a pretty and delicate young girl at the entrance of the village, Cao Weiguo stopped his bike to ask for directions.

The young girl asked vigilantly, "What are you looking for Uncle Qin Ye for?"

Cao Weiguo smiled and took out his credentials, "I am a procurement officer from the Rolling Steel Factory, I want to collect some things from Qin Ye."

The young girl's eyes lit up, "You are a procurement officer from the Rolling Steel Factory? My name is Qin Jingru, what is your name?"

Qin Jingru!

Hearing the young girl's words, Cao Weiguo couldn't help but be a bit surprised.

He didn't expect to meet Qin Jingru ahead of time!

Cao Weiguo, who had come back to his senses, said with a smile, "Hello, Comrade Qin Jingru, my name is Cao Weiguo."

Qin Jingru looked at Cao Weiguo, who was handsome, neatly dressed, and had a bicycle.

Such conditions made her heart flutter.

"Qin Ye is my uncle, I'll take you to his house."

"Brother Cao, I have some salted eggs at home, and two chickens, do you want them?"

"Yes."

"As long as the ingredient quality is good, I'll collect them."

"That's great."

Qin Jingru was thinking about marrying into the city just like her cousin.

Now meeting Cao Weiguo, who was young, handsome, and had a good job, she was energized.

She enthusiastically led the way for Cao Weiguo, her little mouth chattering non-stop.

Under Qin Jingru's guidance, Cao Weiguo met Qin Ye, who was a bit hunched over.

Qin Ye was in his early forties, but his hair was gray and his face was full of vicissitudes.

Qin Ye's great-grandfather was a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, his grandfather was a bureaucrat in the Republic of China, and his father was a landlord.

After the family fell, he farmed in the village, but he was plagued by illness and had to take medicine every few days.

After meeting Qin Ye, Cao Weiguo chatted for a few sentences and then vaguely mentioned old items.

After Qin Ye sent Qin Jingru to the kitchen, he took out three old items from a broken box in the inner room.

A cowpea red basin from the Daoguang period.

A blue-ground yellow-colored cloud dragon pattern plate from the Daoguang period.

A bowl with a picture of the Eight Immortals celebrating a birthday in five colors from the Xianfeng period.

These were all porcelain from the official kiln, all rare good treasures.

Cao Weiguo couldn't put down the three pieces of porcelain, "Uncle Qin, these three are all good items, name a price."

Qin Ye said with reluctance, "20 yuan, if you don't think it's expensive, take them away."

According to the current market, this price was definitely a high price.

After all, in this day and age, these things really had no market among the people.

No matter how good the antique porcelain was, it couldn't fill one's stomach, and it wasn't as practical as a few white flour steamed buns.

But for Cao Weiguo, buying three pieces of late Qing official kiln porcelain for 20 yuan was definitely picking up a big leak.

But he still had to pretend, Cao Weiguo gritted his teeth with a face full of pain, "Done, just as you said."

Cao Weiguo's reply surprised Qin Ye, and his eyes became strange.

Looking at Cao Weiguo was like looking at a fool.

In the countryside, a strong laborer would find it hard to save 20 yuan after working hard for a year.

The bride price for marrying a wife was only 5 or 10 yuan.

But Cao Weiguo was willing to pay 20 yuan to buy 3 "useless" pieces of porcelain.

This was simply the behavior of a prodigal son.

But not making money when you have it is a bastard, since Cao Weiguo was willing to send him money, he wouldn't push it away.

Although these 3 pieces of porcelain were family heirlooms, they were truly "useless" now.

And keeping them at home was a disaster, being able to sell them for money was a rare good thing.

Cao Weiguo took out 2 "Great Black Tens" with a pained face and handed them to Qin Ye.

Qin Ye took out a piece of broken cloth with a face full of joy and handed it to Cao Weiguo to wrap up the porcelain.

After completing the transaction, Qin Ye sent Cao Weiguo out the door.

Qin Jingru chased after Cao Weiguo and asked, "Brother Cao, what did you buy from my uncle's house?"

Cao Weiguo said casually, "Collected some dried wood ear mushrooms and dried mushrooms."

Following Qin Jingru to her house, Qin Jingru introduced Cao Weiguo to her parents.

Although Cao Weiguo knew the relationship between Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu, he didn't tell Qin Jingru.

Hearing that Cao Weiguo was a procurement officer and wanted to buy the family's salted eggs and chickens, Qin Jingru's parents enthusiastically brewed tea and poured water. ===== CHAPTER 252 =====
