What if I haven't seen Siheyuan?

Chapter 212: Tricking the Broken Lord

After entering the house.

Yan Xiaoyao kept taking things out of his arms as if performing a magic trick.

Not a moment later.

The table was filled with food and wine.

Hou Polan's eyes widened as he stared at the braised duck head, braised donkey meat, Quanjude roast duck, fried peanuts, and a bottle of Moutai on the table.

He wiped his eyes in disbelief, and looked at Yan Xiaoyao's chest involuntarily.

Want to see what else he can come up with?

Seeing the surprised look on the face of the Broken Marquis, Yan Xiaoyao smiled, waved his hand and said:

"Okay, stop looking.

I'm not Doraemon, there's nothing to see, just sit down and eat!"

After sitting down with a blank look on his face, the rag-and-bone Marquis was still wondering:

What kind of cat is this Doraemon that Yan Xiaoyao is talking about?

I've lived for so many years, and I've never heard anyone talk about this.

Could it be possible that this cat could really transform things into something?

After the two people sat down.

Yan Xiaoyao thought that he should get the old man half drunk first before talking to him about collecting antiques.

Otherwise he would be too sober now and difficult to fool.

immediately.

They opened the table and each of them poured half a jar of wine.

He put it into the hand of Marquis Papa and it bumped into his.

"Come on, we are already acquainted with each other, let's eat the big one first."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and started drinking.

After drinking, he turned the mouth of the teacup down.

Indicate that you have already done it, and ask you to hurry up and don't waste time.

at this time.

Hou Paolan also came back to his senses from his shock.

Seeing Yan Xiaoyao do this right at the beginning, he was caught in the instant.

Although the wine was good and Polan Hou was very greedy, it was a bit awkward for him to take such a big mouthful before he had even eaten a single bite of the food.

However, the food and wine were provided by Yan Xiaoyao, and it was also to celebrate the fact that the two of them became friends after a fight, so he couldn't say much, so he could only grit his teeth and drink it all in one gulp.

But he had just finished drinking and hadn't put the cup down yet!

Then Yan Xiaoyao started pouring wine in again and said hurriedly.

"Stop, stop, stop. I'm already so old. I can't compare to you youngsters."

"Can you let me eat a little first, slowly?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the glass of wine go down his throat.

At this moment, I felt a burning sensation in my stomach, so I quickly took two bites of food to suppress it.

Seeing that the old man didn't sound false, Yan Xiaoyao didn't force him.

After refilling his glass with half a jar of wine, he put the bottle down.

He smiled and said, "Okay, we have plenty of time anyway, you can eat a few bites of food first and then we can drink slowly."

After Marquis Polan calmed down, he guessed that Yan Xiaoyao must have something to ask for because of his courtesy to him tonight.

However, if he didn't make this clear, he wouldn't be able to eat peacefully.

He put down his chopsticks, lit his pipe, and said seriously, "Okay, just tell me what you want to say! Otherwise, I will be worried and won't be able to eat well."

Seeing that Marquis Polan had seen through his intentions, Yan Xiaoyao could only sigh, "It's true that old people become more cunning."

He did not deny it, and said directly: "It's no big deal, I am just a little interested in the antique business, but I don't understand it.

Well, it just so happened that Scar Liu said yesterday that you are quite knowledgeable in this business, so I wanted to ask you to help me out so that I won’t be fooled.”

Yan Xiaoyao also knew that if the horse was to run, fodder was essential.

After thinking for a while, he continued, "Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain, and I will definitely not let you suffer any loss.

I don't know what the market is like now, but I need a large quantity, and it would be uneconomical if I were to pay by piece.

How about this? I'll give you 100 yuan a month for your service, and when you're free, you can help me find some antiques.

If you come across something rare, I'll give you an extra bonus.

Okay? "

Hearing this, Marquis Paola immediately felt a lot more at ease.

He lowered his head, took a few puffs of his pipe, and hesitated for a while.

He raised his head and said seriously, "Your salary is indeed not low. I will take the job. But we still need to make things clear in advance to avoid misunderstandings later."

“As the old saying goes, antiques in prosperous times are valuable as is gold in troubled times.

Although the antique business is not doing well now, as an old man with experience, I know that it will become more and more valuable in the future.

Your idea is indeed correct, but you also need to think it through.

Although antiques are not valuable nowadays, if you really want to hoard them on a large scale, the money required is not a small amount.

Moreover, if you encounter an emergency situation in the future where you need money, you will definitely not be able to convert it into cash in a short period of time.

You have to think this through.”

Yan Xiaoyao lifted up the teacup, clinked his cup with his, and took a big sip.

He smiled and said, “Don’t worry about this. Since I want to do this business, I must have planned it in advance.

As for the money, don't worry, just collect it.

If I really had no money left, I would have told you in advance so as not to ruin your reputation."

Seeing Yan Xiaoyao's confident look, Marquis Polan didn't say anything else.

After eating a few bites of food and drinking a sip of wine.

As if he remembered something, he said solemnly: "You kid, tell me the truth. You collected these things, don't you want to sell them to foreigners?"

"If that's the case, then you should find someone else!

Although I am a remnant of the previous dynasty, I will not let these treasures passed down by our ancestors with great difficulty be lost overseas. "

Hearing this, Yan Xiaoyao put down his chopsticks and looked at Hou Polan in surprise.

I really didn't expect that he, a survivor of the previous dynasty, would have such a high level of awareness.

I didn't want to tell him the truth, but after the old man said that, I don't know if he remembered some unbearable past, and his face was full of grief and anger.

There was no need for Yan Xiaoyao to urge him to drink at this moment. He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking it, pour more.

Seeing this, Yan Xiaoyao quickly stopped him.

This newly recruited farmhand hasn't even started working yet, so he can't fail like this.

"Stop immediately and eat a few bites of food first, why are you drinking so quickly!

I'm not competing with you. If it's not enough later, I still have more!"

After snatching the bottle of wine, he forced the old man to eat a few bites of food.

Seeing that the old man had recovered, Yan Xiaoyao sat down.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took two puffs with a frown.

"Old man, I'm going to tell you the truth!

I collect these things for the purpose of making money, but no one can say whether they will end up overseas.

But there is one thing you can rest assured about, even if I sell these things, I will only sell ordinary goods.

If they are real treasures, they will definitely be kept by themselves and will never be lost in the world."

After saying this, Hou was afraid that he would quit his job.

He further explained: “You are also an old man who has experienced the change of dynasties, and you are in this line of work, so you are well-informed.

You should have realized to some extent that the wind direction is a little wrong now, right?

If the worst really comes to the worst, how much of these things will be left even if I don't put them away?

Think about it yourself! "

After Yan Xiaoyao said this, he didn't say anything more.

He just ate his food and drank his wine.

Now that things have come to this, if Marquis Pao still doesn't want to do it, there's no need for him to waste his breath.

At worst, I can just learn from these people in the black market and find two professors at the university.

Anyway, supplies are scarce these days, so as long as you have money and supplies, you don’t have to worry about not being able to find people to work.
