Chapter 243 Dong Feng and Situ Jin go to the countryside
"If you want it, give me seven thousand and take it all."
"Boss, are you trying to rob me? These lousy paintings cost seven thousand? Are you ripping me off? Okay, I'm not going to take your seven tripods anymore. I'll go look in other shops."
Charlotte pretended to be angry and turned away.
"Girl, since you like it, let's discuss it. How about this? Can you give me three thousand five hundred for seven paintings? I'm losing money. Since you like it, you can take them all."
"Two thousand. If you sell it, take it. If you don't, I'll look somewhere else."
"Okay. Do you want WeChat or Alipay?"
The boss saw that the owner had no intention of giving in. So he just let it go. Anyway, these broken paintings were in the way, so he made room. He only took 700 yuan.
Charlotte spent one hundred and two thousand to buy all seven tripods and seven paintings.
The boss packed it carefully for her and repeatedly asked her to come to the store next time.
Charlotte returned home and placed the seven tripods in the attic upstairs.
This is her parents' treasure. She bought it back.
She returned to the hall, picked up the scroll and began to admire it.
Some of the paintings are so old that the blurred handwriting needs a magnifying glass to be read clearly.
One of the paintings reminded her of the scroll in the northern pirate camp.
Unfortunately, the painting lies in the national treasury.
This painting is extremely similar to that one.
No one wrote it. No one knows who wrote it.
She didn't quite understand the value of these paintings.
But she was sure that these paintings were much more valuable than the bronzes.
When Situ Jin is free, let's go to the auction together. Estimate the price. If it's valuable, they will make a fortune.
Situ Jin came to the countryside with Dong Feng and Xia Meng.
The scenery here is indeed charming and the air is fresh.
Situ Jin changed his face this time because Xia Meng knew him.
Dong Feng followed Xia Meng to their old house.
Xia Meng's father, Xia Jinshi, was shocked when he saw his daughter leading a man into the yard.
"Ameng, why do you think of this place?"
"Dad, you've been here for a week. Mom is worried about you. Let me come and see. This is my boyfriend Dong Feng."
"Hello uncle, my name is Dong Feng. I live at No. 1 Meizhuang."
"Ameng has a boyfriend, why don't you take him home? The environment in the countryside is not good. Meizhuang No. 1 is also an old villa area. Not bad. You should go back quickly. I will be back in two days."
"Dad, let's go back together. Afeng also said he would come to our house to propose marriage!"
Xia Meng was talking nonsense. Dong Feng just said he was going to her house to get to know her. He didn't even mention proposing marriage.
"Then let's go buy some food and Afeng and I will have a drink."
Xia Jinshi saw that Dong Feng had an extraordinary demeanor. And the person who lived in No. 1 Meizhuang must be of a very high status. He should get to know her first, after all, he only had one daughter. He must find a good one.
"Dad, neither you nor I know how to cook, let's go to town to eat." Xia Meng knew that his father was lazy and had never cooked at home.
"Whatever we have at home, we can eat. I can cook. I'll cook for you."
Dong Feng wanted to go into the house to see if there were any clues.
"Afeng can also cook. We are in for a treat." Xia Jinshi pointed with his hands, his eyes shining.
"Ameng, go over there and pick a green onion. Oh, we're out of soy sauce. Uncle, could you please buy some salt? I don't even know where the store is."
Dong Feng wanted to send Xia Jinshi away.
After a while, Situ Jin came in to search.
"Buy all the things you need." Xia Jinshi would go to the store to buy bread, sausages and the like before meals.
Someone cooked for him and he became greedy.
"Here's two hundred yuan, Ah Meng, you go with uncle, don't let him spend money. Buy some cooked food, if there's pork, buy some, I'll make braised pork for you. Also buy a few bottles of beer, buy as much as you like, don't save money."
Both father and son were sent out.
He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Situ Jin.
Then I started to work non-stop. I pounded the cucumbers and mixed some coriander and radish from the field into a cold dish.
It was not until Situ Jin arrived at the yard that he came out of the kitchen and squatted at the door picking vegetables.
This courtyard seems to be cultivated by someone, otherwise there wouldn't be so many green vegetables growing well.
The tomatoes and cucumbers are ripe. And the beans.
Looking at Xia Jinshi, he doesn't think he is a vegetable grower.
This means there must be someone living here.
Situ Jin quickly searched for clues.
He also discovered that Xia Jinshi was definitely not the only one living here.
He saw that there were actually three rooms in the house.
There is a house for storing tools at the back, which is actually the old house. The three rooms in the front were built later.
Situ Jin saw two rooms with beds in the front room, one of which had bedding on it.
He arrived at the old house and found a couple living there.
And their faces are dull.
"Uncle. Are you from this restaurant?" The uncle nodded and then shook his head.
Seeing that the old man didn't say anything, Situ Jin asked the aunt.
"Auntie, who are you in this family?"
"We won't leave. We know how to grow vegetables." The old lady's eyes turned panicky when she saw Situ Jin.
The uncle pulled the aunt, and she immediately returned to her dazed state.
"Auntie, this is my cell phone number, keep it safe. I'll help you if necessary. They'll be back soon, I'm leaving now."
Situ Jin hurried out. When he saw Dong Feng, he gestured with his hand to indicate OK.
He was afraid of being met by Xia Jinshi and Xia Meng when they came back.
He hurried out of the yard. He had barely walked out of the gate for half a minute.
Xia Jinshi and Xia Meng came back.
Xia Jinshi saw Situ Jin's back.
"Ah Feng, has anyone been here just now?"
"No. I've been picking vegetables in the yard."
"Whose house did that person go to just now? There is no such person in this village." Xia Jinshi guessed suspiciously.
"Dad, whoever loves him/her is his/hers. Why do you care? Afeng, I bought pig ears and roast chicken. Just two more dishes will be enough. I don't like to eat anything in the summer."
"I'll make some cold dishes and braise some pork. Uncle can't eat meat in the countryside. Uncle, where is your rice? I can't find it."
"Oh. It's in the back house. I'll get it." Xia Jinshi's eyes flickered.
"Ameng, set the table. I'll stew the braised pork. We'll be having dinner in half an hour."
Dong Feng completed the task and was in a particularly good mood.
Here, Situ Jin returned to the guesthouse.
Getting ready to call Charlotte.
Want to ask what her parents look like? He will find a way to rescue the old man tomorrow. Judging from the expression, he must have been given an injection.
But he was not sure whether they were Charlotte's parents. He felt that his ability to detect was indeed a little weak after he came from that era.
Why don't you look at photos of Charlotte's parents? Everyone knows they have to come here.
"Lolo, have you eaten?"
"I'm at the company. I'll be right back."
"Why haven't you gone home yet? Didn't you find a senior executive?"
"There are some problems with the shareholder accounts here. I'll go back after I check them. Are there a lot of mosquitoes over there? Do you eat at the guesthouse? If not, cook for yourself. Discuss it with their leaders."
"It's only a few days. It's too much trouble. Luo Luo, do you have photos of your parents? Send them to me."
"They are all in my WeChat collection. I'll send them to you later. Are you going to the countryside to look for my parents' whereabouts? Or to look for clues?"
"It's hard to explain over the phone. I'll tell you when I get back. Send it to me right away."
Charlotte put down the account book and sent the photo of her parents to Situ Jin.
I casually sent a kiss emoticon to Situ Jin.
Situ Jin looked at the photo sent by Charlotte and recalled the faces of the two old men. There was no doubt about it.
