302 Is This Really a Treasure?
“How did you pick this small bronze buddha?”
Mei Donghai looked at the small bronze buddha for a long time.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at his disciple, Kong Liansheng.
Kong Liansheng knew that his master was testing him, so he hurriedly replied, “I see that the red spots and green rust on this small buddha statue are very obvious. It should be an old object…”
!!Mei Donghai smiled. “Then, what era do you think this bronze buddha statue is from?”
Kong Liansheng answered confidently, “I think it should be during the Northern Wei Dynasty.”
Mei Donghai heard his disciple’s answer and the smile on his face grew wider. “Not bad. You have such good eyesight. You can graduate now.”
Zhong Ling’er was delighted. “So this buddha statue really belongs to Northern Wei?”
Mei Donghai nodded. “That’s right. Judging from the style, craftsmanship, and patina of this buddha statue, it is indeed a bronze buddha statue of the Northern Wei Dynasty.”
Zhong Ling’er suppressed her excitement. “Then… How much is this buddha statue worth?”
Mei Donghai pondered for a moment. “Although this buddha statue is an old object, its craftsmanship is a little crude. It’s not considered a high-quality product…”
Zhong Ling’er’s heart sank. “So, it’s not worth much?”
Mei Donghai shook his head. “It’s probably worth… About 2 million.”
“Cough, cough…”
Zhong Ling’er almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Can you stop playing with twists and turns at this time?
First, he said that this buddha statue was a good thing.
Then, he said that the craftsmanship was crude and could not be considered high-quality.
In the end, he said it was worth 2 million.
Her mood was like a roller coaster ride.
This could easily cause a heart attack!
However, on second thought, he was an antique master after all.
An item worth 2 million yuan might really be nothing to someone of his level.
But to her, it was extremely important.
Zhong Ling’er immediately high-fived Kong Liansheng excitedly.
An antique bought for 750,000 yuan was actually sold for 2 million yuan.
They had earned more than twice as much.
This was definitely a big surprise.
The people who were watching the show started to praise him.
“As expected of Great Master Mei’s disciple. He bought something for 750,000 yuan and sold it for 2 million yuan.”
“Yeah, and he’s so handsome. If any girl can marry him, that would be a blessing from her previous life.”
“To be able to marry such a man, she doesn’t have to worry about having no money to spend. She can make a lot of money just by strolling around the antique shop.”
“The money is coming in too fast. He can earn twice the money in a few minutes. It’s even faster than robbing a bank.”
“Mister Kong, I want to acknowledge you as my master. Please accept me…”
It was the complete opposite of their excitement.
When Lu Xiaoya heard Mei Donghai’s words, she immediately fell into despair.
She had spent 750,000 yuan to pick a treasure worth 2 million yuan.
Then what hope did she have?
Lu Xiaoya turned around and looked at Ye Feng.
However, his expression was normal, and there was no sign of nervousness.
She really didn’t know if she should say that this guy had a good mentality.
Or should she say that he was heartless?
If she lost this match, not only would she be humiliated by Zhong Ling’er…
Even she would suffer financial losses.
Did he not care at all?
Mei Donghai put the small bronze buddha aside.
Just as he was about to pick up Ye Feng’s bronze bull.
Lu Xiaoya suddenly stopped him. “Great Master Mei, please take a look at the bronze cauldron I picked first.”
As she spoke, she pushed her bronze cauldron in front of Mei Donghai like she was presenting a treasure.
Mei Donghai only glanced at it and was too lazy to even touch it. “There’s no need to look at it. It’s just a modern imitation. It’s not worth much.”
Lu Xiaoya panicked. “How is that possible? The stall owner told me that this is from Shang and Zhou.”
Mei Donghai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “If he told you that this is from the Jurassic period, would you believe him?”
Lu Xiaoya was still unwilling to give up. “You should at least give me an estimate.”
Mei Donghai had no choice but to offer a price. “200 yuan.”
Lu Xiaoya was completely dumbfounded.
She had spent 100,000 yuan.
It was only worth 200 yuan?
She did not expect Ye Feng to be right?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly turned around and looked at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng pursed his lips helplessly: “I told you that this is not worth much. If you don’t believe me, I have no choice.”
Lu Xiaoya was extremely embarrassed and angry. She immediately wanted to argue with the stall owner.
Ye Feng quickly stopped her, “The rule of the antique store is that once you sell it, you cannot return it. You can only blame yourself for not having good judgment. Just treat it as paying tuition fees.”
Lu Xiaoya had no choice but to walk to the side and sulk.
Mei Donghai had already picked up the bronze bull that Ye Feng had picked.
As soon as he touched it, his expression changed drastically.
“This…”
Kong Liansheng’s expression also changed drastically. “Master, look at the patterns and craftsmanship of this bronze bull. It looks like an object from the Warring States Period.”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
All of them turned to look at Mei Donghai.
They wanted to hear what he had to say.
Mei Donghai held the magnifying glass and examined it carefully without saying a word.
After a while, he slowly put down the magnifying glass.
He then looked at Ye Feng solemnly.
His eyes were filled with reverence.
“That’s right. This bronze bull is indeed from the Warring States Period!”
“Ah…”
As soon as he said this, the scene immediately exploded.
“Oh my god, it’s actually an old object from the Warring States Period? How much is that worth?”
“I really couldn’t tell that this young man’s eyesight isn’t inferior to Teacher Kong’s at all.”
“That’s right. Things from the Warring States Period are definitely more valuable than those from the Northern Wei Dynasty, right?”
“That being said, isn’t the craftsmanship of this bronze bull too crude? If you didn’t introduce it, I really wouldn’t have been able to tell that it was a bull.”
“No matter how crude it is, it’s still worth more than Northern Wei’s. I’m guessing it’s worth at least 3 million.”
“This young man looks to be in his twenties, right? Why are his eyes so good?”
“Today’s trip was really worth it. I actually managed to see two priceless treasures in a row.”
Hearing the discussions of the surrounding people…
Lu Xiaoya was completely dumbfounded.
This bronze bull that she despised for being too ugly, it was really a treasure?
Could it be that she had wronged Ye Feng?
Was he really an antique master?
Was he really helping her?
Her mind was in a mess.
