Chapter 723 Can I take a look?

The old man was stunned for a moment, but finally made way for the two of them. "If you want to see it, just come in and take a look. It's really nothing valuable."

Ye Feng didn't say much and took Zhuang Xiaoqiao directly into the yard.

The yard is not big, with a total area of ​​only about 100 square meters, and some vegetables are planted in the yard.

There was a local dog tied in the southwest corner of the yard. When it saw a stranger coming in, it immediately started barking non-stop.

The old man hurried forward and scolded the dog a few words, and the dog finally calmed down.

Ye Feng first pretended to look around the yard for a while, and then pretended to look casually at the ceramic bowl containing dog food.

“This basin…”

When the old man heard his question, he immediately introduced, "This dog food bowl is quite old. I have used it to hold dog food since I was a child. Isn't this also an antique?"

Ye Feng lowered his head to examine it for a while, then shook his head, "It's just an ordinary piece of ceramic, not worth much money."

The old man, who was originally expectant, suddenly lost interest. "I told you, there's nothing valuable at home. You should go look somewhere else."

Ye Feng looked around again, his face full of disappointment, "There really is nothing valuable left."

Having said that, he turned around and was about to walk out. After taking a few steps, he stopped and turned to look at the ceramic basin.

"Although it's not worth much, the pattern on it looks pretty nice. I like it. Why don't you just accept it?"

When the old man heard his words, his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, "How much can you offer?"

Ye Feng stretched out two fingers, "Two hundred."

The old man was immediately disappointed. "Only 200? Isn't that too little?"

Ye Feng made an amused expression, "This is just an ordinary ceramic basin, how much do you want?"

The old man immediately asked for a sky-high price, "Twenty thousand."

Ye Feng's eyes widened immediately, "How much? Twenty thousand? You really dare to ask for that."

The old man seemed to think that he was asking for too much, and his face suddenly turned red. "If you ask for a high price, you should pay it back on the spot. Why don't you bargain?"

Ye Feng pretended to be angry, "You are so cruel, how can I repay you? You should continue to feed it to the dog."

After saying that, he was about to pull Zhuang Xiaoqiao away.

The old man hurriedly stopped the two men and said, "Please add a little more. Two hundred yuan is indeed a little too little. I have to spend money to buy a new dog bowl, right?"

Ye Feng continued to look angry, as if he was trying to calm himself down.

Based on Zhuang Xiaoqiao's understanding of him, the fact that he opened his mouth proved that he had already taken a fancy to the ceramic basin and was just acting now.

In that case, she didn't mind cooperating and immediately pulled his sleeve, "I think this uncle is quite pitiful, just give him a little more, just think of it as charity."

The old man immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, I am alone now, and my son and daughter don't care about me. You should at least give me a little more."

Ye Feng hesitated for a long time before finally speaking again, "Okay, I'll offer you a maximum of five hundred. If you're willing to sell it, I'll pay now. If you're not willing, I'll leave right away." As he spoke, he took a step forward, acting as if he was ready to leave at any time.

Seeing his tough tone, the old man finally compromised, "Okay, five hundred is five hundred, I want cash."

Ye Feng didn't waste any more words and immediately took out five hundred-dollar bills from his bag.

The old man snatched it away hurriedly, turned the five bills over and over again, and put them into his pocket after confirming that there was no problem.

Ye Feng turned around to take the ceramic bowl. The dog saw someone trying to snatch its food and started barking again.

The old man grabbed a stick and beat the local dog until it whimpered and howled.

Ye Feng took the opportunity to snatch the ceramic basin, rinsed it with clean water, and then said goodbye and left.

After leaving the courtyard, Zhuang Xiaoqiao immediately asked impatiently, "How much is this ceramic basin worth?"

Ye Feng continued to pretend, "It's not worth much."

Zhuang Xiaoqiao was not satisfied with this answer, "You'd better tell the truth."

Ye Feng had no choice but to tell the truth, "It should be worth... millions."

Zhuang Xiaoqiao's eyes widened immediately. "How much? Millions? Is this true?"

Ye Feng raised his lips slightly, "If it's not worth millions, is it worth it for me, an old man, to personally come out for it? This is an artifact from the Longquan Kiln of the Ming Dynasty, but it's being fed to dogs. It's such a waste of resources."

Zhuang Xiaoqiao stared blankly at the ceramic basin. After a while, he came to his senses and looked at him with contempt. "This basin is worth millions, but you are still arguing with it over a few hundred dollars. Aren't you too inhumane?"

Ye Feng spread his hands, "This is business. I can't just tell him that this pot is worth millions, right? Business is a test of your vision and courage. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for your poor vision, not others."

Although Zhuang Xiaoqiao wanted to refute, he had to admit that what he said made sense. Isn't that what business is all about? Buy at the lowest possible price and sell at the highest possible price. That's what a successful businessman does.

But this guy only spent a few hundred dollars to buy someone else's treasure worth millions, and he was stingy and refused to give in for a long time. This is too much. There is no businessman without fraud.

Ye Feng was too lazy to continue explaining. He took out the compass again and pretended to look for the next target.

Zhuang Xiaoqiao's eyes were immediately drawn to the compass. "This compass is really useful? It can actually find treasures?"

Ye Feng glanced at her proudly and said, "Of course, this is my ancestral treasure. I was able to become rich so quickly because of it."

He spoke loudly on purpose, as if he wanted someone to hear him.

Zhuang Xiaoqiao actually believed it. No wonder he could earn more money than others could earn in several lifetimes in less than a year. It turned out that there was such a heaven-defying treasure?

"Can I touch your baby?"

"No."

"why?"
