More than two hours had passed when he walked out of the Bronze Museum. Li Mo looked up at the sky. The scorching sun rays made him squint his eyes. There was still a little swelling, but there should be no major problem.

"Let's go have lunch first and then go shopping in the afternoon."

Li Mo touched his belly and felt his phone vibrating before he had gone far. He took it out and saw that it was Niu Sanpang. He hadn't contacted him in a few days and didn't know if that guy had returned to Kyoto.

As soon as the call was connected, I heard Niu Sanpang's urgent voice: "Master Li, do me a favor."

"What's wrong? The voice sounds urgent?"

"Can't you be in a hurry? I came across four pieces of porcelain, but I'm not sure, so I want you to help me identify them. If possible, I'd like to ask you to come to Kyoto."

"When did you return to Kyoto?"

"Hey, Mr. Li, it doesn't matter when I return to Kyoto. What matters is whether you can get to Kyoto as quickly as possible?"

Li Mo couldn't help but tease him and said, "What's the fastest time? How fast do you want it to be?"

"If you can arrive tonight, my brother will give you a big red envelope of five thousand."

"You are so generous. Okay, just send me your address. I am in Kyoto now and will rush over to meet you right away."

"Master Li, you are really my good brother. I will send you the address immediately."

Li Mo hung up the phone and immediately received a text message. The address seemed to be in a high-end villa area, and he didn't know if it was his base camp.

Before he had time to eat lunch, Li Mo took a taxi to the meeting point. When he arrived at the entrance of the villa area, the security guard refused to let him in. Li Mo made a phone call, and within two minutes the security guard who stopped him invited him in with a smile.

As soon as I entered the community, I saw Niu Sanpang running towards me in a menacing manner. It was really hard for him to run so fast because of his fat body. Even when he got there, he was panting heavily.

"Sanpang, you need to lose weight."

"It seems...it seems that I can't survive if I don't lose weight. I almost ran out of breath after running only a few hundred meters." Niu Sanpang patted his chest, his face flushed, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Would you like to take a rest on the roadside? I'm afraid you won't be able to breathe."

"It's okay, let's walk back slowly."

"You live here?"

"I bought it when I was about to graduate from college. My mother secretly gave me money. I originally wanted to marry my girlfriend who I fell in love with in college as soon as I graduated. Unexpectedly, she thought I was poor and kicked me out as soon as she found an excuse."

"Hahaha, you didn't come to her later to show her your muscles?"

"She's already in someone else's arms, so there's no point in me showing off my muscles with her. Li Mo, when we get home later, you can help me with more palms and eyes. There are four porcelains in total, but I only picked one because I didn't feel like it."

I'm sorry, so I'd like to ask you to help me check it out."

"Okay, I'll act accordingly when the time comes. Do you have anything to eat at home? Noodles or whatever. I came here before I had lunch. I feel so hungry now."

"Is instant noodles okay? I can add a few poached eggs at most, but nothing else. I rarely eat at home."

"I can only eat instant noodles, hurry up and leave."

The single-family villa that Niu Sanpang lives in is located in the middle of the community. The distance between the villas is far away, there is plenty of sunshine, and there are gardens in front and back of the house. The price of such a villa is not low.

Xu Jiaxin stood at the door waiting for them. She smiled and nodded when she saw Li Mo. She looked good. She probably gained more recognition from the Niu family during her time in Kyoto.

"Congratulations to Miss Xu. It seems that I will be able to enjoy your wedding at the end of the year."

Xu Jiaxin's face showed a hint of shyness.

"Master Li, it's not that fast, it's not that fast." Niu Sanpang rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

Xu Jiaxin immediately rolled her eyes at him and gave him a hint of warning.

"Master Li, please come in."

It's hot outside, but it's much cooler inside. The lobby on the first floor is very empty, and the decoration is simple yet stylish. The large living room is a sunken apartment. You have to walk up three steps of stone stairs. There are three people sitting on the sofa and whispering to each other on the coffee table.

There is a long-necked ball pin.

Seeing Niu Sanpang coming in with a young man, the three people on the sofa stood up quickly.

"Wu Min, this is my good brother Li Mo. I was lucky this time. He happened to be in Kyoto, so I rushed over immediately after receiving the call."

"Hello, Mr. Li." Wu Min took the initiative to extend her right hand. She had slender fingers, fair skin, and a Cartier bracelet on her wrist.

"Hello."

The two of them gently touched hands and then took them back.

"Master Li, Wu Min is my senior, these two are her friends, and they brought the porcelain here. You sit down first, and I'll ask Jiaxin to cook you some instant noodles."

Xu Jiaxin clenched her pink fist at him to demonstrate, but she still walked into the kitchen obediently.

Wu Min obviously had doubts about Li Mo's age and ability, but since it was Niu Sanpang who brought him here, whether he can handle these two people depends on his ability.

"Mr. Li, my friend bought this porcelain when he was traveling in Great Britain. Mr. Niu said that you are good at appraising porcelain, so please take a look first."

"I can't say I'm good at it, but my family owns an antique shop that specializes in selling porcelain, so I have some experience." Li Mo picked up the porcelain on the coffee table and looked at it for a while, "Can I ask how much you paid for this porcelain?

"Two thousand euros translates into about 20,000 domestic dollars." A slightly fat man replied.

"Then how much are you planning to sell for?" Li Mo put the porcelain back on the coffee table and continued to ask calmly.

"Actually, we are not proficient in porcelain. At that time, we thought that the workmanship of this porcelain was very exquisite and beautiful, so we bought it. After returning to China, an elder said that this might be a real antique and asked us to find someone to identify it."

"Is there any identification conclusion?"

"We only spent 20,000 yuan to buy this porcelain, but after asking a few antique shop owners, they said that if we want to authenticate it, the fee will be at least 30,000 yuan. Mr. Li, don't you think this is ridiculous? If it is not an antique, we

Wouldn’t it be a big loss?”

Li Mo smiled and said: "This thing is indeed an antique. The porcelain from the middle and late Qing Dynasty is called Tianqiu vase. The whole shape is very grand. You can see that the pile of porcelain is very gorgeous. The patterns on the surface are called Taishi and Shaoshi.

A total of five lions means that five generations live under one roof."

"In ancient times, making things was not just random talk. They were all very particular and had a certain meaning. From the grand master to the grandson, generations of people were high officials. This kind of porcelain is very rare in the market today.

But such things usually come in pairs, do you only see one?"

"There's only one." When the fat man heard that it was an antique from the mid-to-late Qing Dynasty, he immediately perked up and said, "Mr. Li, how much do you think this antique is worth?"

Li Mo shook his head and said: "This celestial sphere vase has no bottom price, which means it is not fired in an official kiln, but a fine product fired in a private kiln. If there is a pair of celestial sphere vases, it will be auctioned because it has the meaning of five generations living under one roof.

It might be worth more than 100,000, but there is only one now, so the price can’t go up, maybe it can be sold for 20,000 to 30,000.”

He didn't want to offend a few people too much, so he didn't say the last sentence, that is, maybe no one would be willing to buy it, so he could only keep it at home and pass it on.

"It's only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. I thought if it were an authentic antique, it would be worth hundreds of thousands, or even millions."

Niu Sanpang, who was sitting aside, sighed in disappointment.
