    Meng Zitao put away his phone and returned to his seat.

    Li Wei asked: "Teacher Meng, do you have a job?"

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "A friend invited me to participate in a treasure appraisal event tomorrow."

    Li Wei was very interested in this: "I don't know where the treasure appraisal event is held. Can I go and have a look?"

    Meng Zitao replied: "It is a small treasure appraisal event organized by Shudu TV Station. Authentic items that participate in the appraisal have the opportunity to be on the TV show and receive certificates through competition. It's okay if you want to go, but don't deliberately buy antiques."

    "Oh." Li Wei nodded and thought of a question: "Teacher Meng, what's going on with the fakes in the treasure appraisal show? If it were me, I definitely wouldn't let myself be embarrassed by taking fakes.  .¡±

    Meng Zitao said: "I only know of two types. One is to film the show directly during the appraisal. If you want to participate in the appraisal, you must agree to be broadcast on the show. The other is to hire extras."

    Li Wei suddenly said: "This is what people often call Tuoba."

    "Actually, it's not a favor." Meng Zitao smiled and thought to himself, the real favor is much more powerful than this.

    For example, agents at auctions can see the mood of buyers and know which items have room for improvement, so they will raise the price.  Maybe they would miss, but it would just be the left hand switching to the right hand, and there would be basically no loss.

    This kind of trick exists in basically every auction, and the auction organized by Meng Zitao and the others is no exception. This is a marketing method of the market. For Meng Zitao, as long as he can ensure that there is no problem with the auction items, it is enough.  A clear conscience.

    After having enough wine and food, Meng Zitao saw that Li Lunqiao was hesitant to speak, so he asked with a smile: "Master Li, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

    Li Lunqiao said with some embarrassment: "When the Fourth Master left just now, I asked you if you could help identify the antiques. If you can, bring the things over after he has eaten."

    Meng Zitao still thought it was nothing and said with a smile: "This is just a small thing, just ask him to bring it over."

    Li Lunqiao quickly expressed his thanks and felt relieved. He was not thick-skinned and was most afraid of asking others, let alone a great expert like Meng Zitao.

    Li Lunqiao hurriedly called the old man over. About ten minutes later, in addition to him and the old man, there were five or six villagers following him. Two of them brought old objects, and the rest came to watch the fun.

    Li Lunqiao was actually quite uneasy, fearing that Meng Zitao would be unhappy, but it was not easy for him to open his mouth when he was asked to reject the villagers. After all, in a village, everyone looked down but did not look up.

    Meng Zitao didn't care about this, and it was also a normal thing. When he was a child, there would be an acrobatic performer in the village, and there would be three floors inside and three floors outside. If a celebrity came, it is estimated that most of the people in the village who knew about it would join in the fun.  .

    Meng Zitao asked everyone to identify them in order. It was still early and there was plenty of time, so everyone nodded in agreement.

    Of course, the first person to identify them was the fourth chef. He put all the things he brought on the table and then explained the origins of these things.

    "These things are all handed down from my ancestors. My grandfather was also a cook at the time, but he was much better than me. He often cooked for some dignitaries. If he did well, he would be rewarded. Most of these things were originally given to him as a reward.  My grandfather's, I don't know how much they are worth. I just have the opportunity today, please ask Teacher Meng to help me take a look at them, so as not to ruin the treasure."

    "It is not easy for old objects to be passed down to the present. They should be preserved well. I will show them to you now."

    Meng Zitao smiled and nodded, then started checking.

    Generally speaking, unless you are a relative of the emperor, even if you want to reward the cook, it is unlikely to be a good thing. These things the old man brought over are just like this. Except for one thing, they are basically worth a little bit.  Money counting gadgets have some collection value, but the market value is not very high.

    But the remaining item is a good thing. It is an exquisite ball made of ivory. The surface of the outer ball is embossed with various floral patterns. The center of the ball is intricately carved with large and small beads one after another. Each ball can move in sequence.  The carving is exquisite and the technique is special, which is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. It is a masterpiece among ivory carvings.

    Meng Zitao explained the value of several things to the old man in detail. The old man suddenly said: "This ball was actually given by a passenger my grandfather rescued. It is indeed the most valuable! Teacher Meng, I don't know how much these things are worth."  ?¡±

    Meng Zitao thoughtfully wrote the price on the paper and handed it to the old man. After all, Chinese people like to keep their wealth secret.

    The old man picks upWhen he saw the white paper recording the quotation, his face immediately lit up with joy. Seeing this, the villagers nearby wanted to come over and take a peek. The old man quickly hid the paper and cursed with a smile.

    A villager in his thirties next to him, whose hair almost covered his eyes, said with a smile: "Fourth Master, there's no point hiding it. Seeing how happy you are, you must have made a lot of money. I watch an antique on TV and it's easy to make money."  If it costs tens to millions, you shouldn¡¯t be much short of these things.¡±

    The old man laughed and scolded: "Fang Zong, you are just talking nonsense. If it were really worth tens or millions, I would stop cooking from today."

    Fang Zong waved his hand quickly: "No, if those bosses find out, they will have to skin me!"

    "I wish those bosses could come and take your skin off, so that the village would be less of a scourge!" The old man laughed and cursed again and ignored him.

    Meng Zitao said: "Uncle, I have to remind you that due to legal reasons, this ivory product cannot be auctioned, and can only be communicated in private."

    "That's it!" The old man frowned. The purpose of the private communication was to lower the price, but there was nothing he could do about it. He could only accept it no matter how unhappy he was.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "But if you want to handle it, you can leave it to me. Although I can't guarantee it to you, the price will definitely not be low."

    The old man became happy again after hearing this and said, "If I want to sell it in the future, I will definitely come to you."

    Originally, the old man wanted to pay Meng Zitao the appraisal fee, but Meng Zitao turned him down. He is too soft-spoken.

    After briefly talking to the old man about a few things that should be paid attention to in maintenance, Meng Zitao began to appraise the next item, and the old man hurriedly took the item back. After all, it added up to hundreds of thousands of items, so it was more reassuring to take it home.  And the young man named Fang Zong followed him somewhat furtively.

    The things that the next two villagers brought were all worthless things. In fact, this is what the countryside should be like now. If there are really good things, they have been taken away by shovels long ago, and the chance of leaving any good things is very slim.

    After everything was appraised, Meng Zitao was about to return to the city and said goodbye to Li Lunqiao and his son.

    After getting in the car, Meng Zitao thought about it and felt that there was something wrong with Fang Fuxin's family, so he called his colleagues and asked them to investigate the father and son, maybe they would find something unexpected.

    ps: My stomach feels better today, but my energy is even worse than yesterday. I can¡¯t continue to code after a little bit, so let¡¯s do this for now.  If I feel better tomorrow, I will try my best to resume normal updates first. Everyone feels that updates are slow during this period, so you can take care of it first and wait for a while before checking again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
