"This corn cob is so delicious, Niuniu, do you want to eat it?" Li Wen saw Amao's little move, but did not expose it.

"Niuniu wants to eat, and my brother also wants to eat." Niuniu directly betrayed Amao.

Amao was nine years old and had self-esteem. He was blushing at his sister for a while.

"Ha ha!"

"Come on, Amao, you and your sister have half each." Li Wen took out a corn cob, broke it in half and handed it over.

"Thank you, Uncle Li." Amao couldn't wait to take the stick, then handed the big one to his sister, and then started to chew it.

"Here, Amao, take this cob back to your two brothers and ask your dad to come over to my place." Li Wen took out a young corn cob from the basin and handed it over.

"I know, Uncle Li." Amao ran out with a stick in his mouth.

"Uncle, this corn is delicious! It's much better than the corn porridge we had at night." Niu Niu ate corn kernels all over her face and smiled with satisfaction.

"If it's delicious, eat more. Uncle will give it to you after you finish it." Li Wen pinched the little girl's cheek and said with a smile.

Niuniu is the same age as Li Wen's little sister Li Juan and Erya, and little girls at this age are also the cutest.

Li Wen felt lonely sometimes when he was alone in Chang'an. When he saw Niu Niu, he thought of his little sister and Er Ya, so he always gave Niu Niu delicious food.

"Brother, what do you want from me?" Li Wen was listening to the trumpet with Niu Niu when Li Hongbin opened the door and walked in with a smile.

"Brother Li is here, sit down." Li Wen stood up and took a stool and handed it over.

"Brother, you have been spoiling these children all day. You can keep such good corn for yourself, so why do you give it to them?" Li Hongbin started chattering as soon as he sat down.

"I'm fine after get off work alone. The kids can come over and talk to me. Brother Li, you don't have to worry about it." Li Wen smiled and waved his hand.

"Brother, please take it easy, Niuniu, this girl has been spoiled by you recently and she doesn't even eat well anymore." Li Hongbin glanced at Niu Niu who was leaning in front of Li Wen and listening to the radio.

Unexpectedly, the little girl didn't raise her head while munching on the corn, and ignored him.

"Brother Li, I have a business trip tomorrow. It may take two or three days. There is no one else at home. Please help me pay more attention to the door." Li Wen took out a cigarette and handed one over.

"Don't worry, brother, I'll be awake at night!" Li Hongbin said with a smile as he took the cigarette.

"Dad, my sister-in-law and my second uncle are grabbing my corn." The two were joking when Amao opened the door and walked in, complaining to Li Hongbin.

"Go back, sir, why are you a kid doing so much?" Li Hongbin scolded angrily, rolled up his sleeves and was about to slap Ah Mao.

"Brother Li, why are you yelling at a kid?" Li Wen quickly pulled Li Hongbin back.

"Here, put this stick in your pocket and take it back. Don't let anyone snatch it away again." Li Wen pulled Li Hongbin and threw a stick of corn at Amao, winking at the little guy and telling him to run away.

"well!"

"This day is embarrassing, I made you laugh, brother." Looking at Amao and Niu Niu who were scared away, Li Hongbin sighed and said.

"Brother, what are you talking about? We have a good relationship as neighbors. A few children are polite and I like them too. If it were other children, I wouldn't give it to them!"

"By the way, Brother Li, hasn't your brother gone out to do odd jobs recently? During this time, I often see him wandering the streets after get off work." Li Wen asked with a smile.

"My younger brother didn't live up to expectations and asked me to go out and do odd jobs. I don't know what's going on lately. He's been following some gangsters all day doing some shitty things."

"I took five yuan from home a few days ago and bought a blue and white porcelain plate from the Yuan Dynasty. He also said that someone has recently bought these old gadgets at a high price in the market, and he plans to stock up on a few more pieces so that he can sell them at a high price."

"He came back to me this afternoon and told me that he had spotted some good things and needed thirty yuan."

"You say it's annoying or not. Our Qin Province has been the place where emperors were buried since ancient times. If you find any land and dig down with a hoe, you can dig out old objects and make him rich in his turn." Li Hongbin said angrily.

"So that's it!"

"Brother, someone is actually buying old things in the market recently, and that person is my friend. Ask your brother to bring over the plates he collected a few days ago, and I'll take a look. If it's suitable, I'll pay a high price to help collect them." Li Wen

Said with a smile.

"That's awesome!"

Li Hongbin opened his eyes wide in shock.

"Hong Jun, come next door. Xiaowen has something to ask you." Li Hongbin stood up and shouted towards the yard next door.

"Okay, I'll come right over." A voice came from Li Hongbin's house next door.

"Xiao Wen!"

Li Hongjun opened the door and walked in, smiling and saying hello to Li Wen.

"Brother Jun, sit down!" Li Wen smiled and nodded.

"Brother, you don't think I ate Amao's corn, do you? It's not my fault. My dad won't let me eat tonight. I'm so hungry!" Li Hongjun complained cautiously as soon as he walked in the door.

"If you don't secretly take the family money and those things, can our father not let you eat?" Li Hongbin glared at his brother.

"Brother Jun, I just said that you bought a Yuan blue and white porcelain plate, so why don't you let me see it?" Li Wen changed the subject with a smile.

"There's nothing you can't see. Just wait and I'll get it. I also collected a few good things today, so I'll bring them over for you to see."

"Xiaowen, look at this Yuanqinghua. I spent five yuan to collect it."

"I bought these pieces of porcelain and calligraphy and painting at a large price. You have to be careful when looking at them." Li Hongjun carefully placed a few things on the table.

"Brother Jun, don't worry, I'll compensate you if I'm wrong." Li Wen smiled and took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on.

"Hey! Xiao Wen, you are so professional." Li Hongjun couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw Li Wen's posture.

Li Wen picked up the blue and white porcelain plate and looked at it. It was indeed a genuine Yuan blue and white porcelain, and the utensils were intact. However, it was fired in a private kiln, so its value was greatly reduced.

Li Wen put down the porcelain plate and started looking at other things.

Ten minutes later, everything was appraised. The two calligraphy and paintings were from the Qing Dynasty, one was from Bada Shanren, and the other was from the old man of Xilu. Their value to future generations was also acceptable.

There are two calligraphy works, one is by Zeng Bohan in the Qing Dynasty, and the other is by Xiangguang layman in the Ming Dynasty.

The price of Zeng Bohan's calligraphy was quite good in later generations, with prices in the millions, but the calligraphy works of Xiangguang layman were even more valuable, with prices in later generations often in the tens of millions.

The last two items were actually two sword coins. These items were more than two thousand years old. They were the currency of Qi State at that time. They were rarely passed down to later generations and were expensive.

"Brother Jun, these things are very good. Do you want to collect them yourself, or are you prepared to sell them at a high price?" Li Wen put down the knife coins and asked with a smile.

"Of course I'm prepared to sell it at a high price, but I don't understand this stuff. It's not like someone recently collected these old items, so I took the plunge." Li Hongjun said with a smile.

"Brother Jun, let me tell you the truth! The person who collects the old items is a friend of mine. If I can talk to you, I can help you sell it at a good price."

"If you believe me, I will estimate the price for you, and I will come back and give you a letter in a few days." Li Wen did not directly say that he would accept it, but made a roundabout way.

"Really brother?" Li Hongjun's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that Li Wen knew the owner of the old things.

"Brother Li, I can still lie to you!" Li Hongbin patted Li Hongjun's head angrily.

"The blue and white porcelain plate of yours is not wrong. It is from the Yuan Dynasty. But unfortunately, the price of a piece of folk kiln porcelain is greatly reduced. I estimate it at 12 yuan."

"These two calligraphy and paintings were painted by painters from the Qing Dynasty. Due to the age, they have been circulated a lot, so the price is relatively low, 7 yuan per piece."

"One of these two calligraphy works is from the Ming Dynasty, and the other is from the Qing Dynasty. The price of the Qing Dynasty is also 7 yuan, but the price of the Ming Dynasty is higher, and can be sold for 16 yuan."

"As for the two future knife coins, my estimate is 20 yuan each." Li Wen said with a smile the estimated value of all the items.

"F*ck!" Li Hongbin on the side swore directly.

"Brother Li, please keep your voice down, walls have ears." Li Wen raised his finger and whispered.

"Xiaowen, it's really worth so much money." Li Hongjun was also excited.

He spent a total of less than 30 yuan on these things. If calculated according to the price Li Wen said, he would have made more than 60 yuan by changing hands.

"This is the price I estimate."

"Of course, if you find someone to sell it, you will definitely not be able to get it for this price, and cultural relic stores will not be able to sell it for this amount."

"The person who collects the old items is a friend of mine, and we are all acquaintances. I will sell it to him directly for you, saving you the price difference of several lots." Li Wen said with a smile.

"Very good!"

"Can you contact your friend tomorrow? I will sell it to him directly tomorrow." Li Hongjun was so excited that his nose was bubbling.

"Not tomorrow, I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. It won't take long, just two or three days. I will contact you when I get back." Li Wen shook his head and said.

"Okay then!" Li Hongjun was instantly discouraged when he heard that Li Wen was going on a business trip tomorrow.

"Why are you so anxious? I can't bear the hot tofu in my heart." Li Hongtao slapped Li Hongjun angrily.

"Brother, please stop hitting me on the head. I'm almost stupid because of you." Li Hongjun rubbed the back of his forehead and complained.

"Hey! You're still obsessed with me." Li Hongtao raised his voice.

"Brother, if you and Brother Jun have any suitable old items in the past two days, you can accept them and evaluate them together when I come back."

"But don't worry, if my friend doesn't want them, I will buy these old items according to the estimated value." Li Wen quickly interrupted the two brothers' stubborn words.

"Really?" Li Hongtao was surprised.

"That's great!" Li Hongtao was happy.

"Yeah! But this matter needs to be kept low-key. Don't tell others that I have connections here and can collect old items at high prices."
