Pick up bargains in Chinatown and make 10,000 times the profit at the beginning

Chapter 22 Uncle Pretends

The lunch was very rich, with excellent steak, king crab, etc.

Whether it is steak or king crab, they may be very expensive in China. However, in the United States, their prices are very affordable. After all, the United States is also one of the important production areas of king crabs, so it is understandable that they are cheap.

What Lin Yuan couldn't understand was why one had to apply Lao Gan Ma when eating king crabs?
When Henry's mother took out a bottle of Lao Gan Ma, Lin Yuan's CPU was smoking.

It is said that Lao Gan Ma is very popular in the United States, and now Lin Yuan has experienced it firsthand.

The problem is that this stuff is very expensive in the United States, reportedly more than ten dollars a bottle.

Henry told Lin Yuan that he brought these Lao Gan Ma back from China.

Lin Yuan exclaimed, "What a guy!"
During the meal, Henry's two sisters came up to Lin Yuan and asked him questions.

They are very interested in many things in China, especially China's modernization construction, which they often see in short videos and find incredible.

According to comments from netizens, Chinese people live in another world.

This is completely different from the China they see in the mainstream media.

Plus, their eldest brother studied in China, so of course they chose to believe their eldest brother!

"Seeing is believing. Why don't you go and play for a while when you have time and find out?" Lin Yuan said with a smile.

In comparison, China's urbanization is indeed more dazzling, creating a title of infrastructure maniac. Some early developed countries have already aged their cities.

Take San Francisco for example, it is shabby and its urban construction is not as good as that of China's third-tier cities.

"We don't have the money to go." The two sisters said this, their eyes glancing at their eldest brother, their meaning was very clear.

Of course they want to travel to China to see and experience the world. However, traveling abroad requires money. Currently, only their eldest brother can help them realize this dream.

Henry rolled his eyes. He was helpless with his two sisters.

However, it's good to go out and have fun, especially in a safe country like China. If he went to other countries, he would still worry about the safety of his family, but he doesn't have to worry about it in China.

"Then you can go with your parents! I'll pay for the expenses." Henry said.

Anyway, I got a windfall of $50,000, so I might as well take my family abroad and enjoy the fun.

Fifty thousand US dollars, equivalent to more than 300,000 RMB, is enough for a one-month or two-month trip to China.

When the two sisters heard this, they cheered immediately.

Although Henry's father and mother also wanted to travel to China, they were embarrassed to spend their son's money.

It was Lin Yuan's uncle who stepped in and persuaded Henry's parents, praising Henry for being filial, etc., before the couple made up their minds to choose a day to go to China for a trip.

Paul was also moved, but he held back.

After eating and drinking, Henry's father made a pot of tea and sighed with Lin Yuan and his uncle.

My uncle is an expert on how to make tea. He taught Henry's father, saying that it was a unique tea-making ceremony in China. He performed it as fiercely as a tiger, and stunned several foreigners, except Henry.

To put it bluntly, there is an element of pretense.

In fact, the effect is almost the same if you just throw tea leaves in.

The tea may not taste good after my uncle's actions. Of course, for those who really know how to appreciate tea, there should be some difference.

This is the same as how foreigners taste red wine. There are a series of steps involved, such as decanting, observing the wine, shaking the glass, smelling the wine, drinking the wine, etc.

Those steps are just to show elegance.

To put it bluntly, it's just showing off.

My uncle doesn’t have any other skills, but he’s good at pretending to be cool.

Lin Yuan looked at the teapot and was very surprised. It turned out to be a treasure.

"Uncle, where did this purple clay teapot come from?"

Don’t say it’s inherited from your ancestors!

Uncle Chen Shiquan looked at his nephew in surprise. As soon as his nephew opened his mouth, he knew what was going on.

Henry's father smiled and said, "There used to be a Chinese family living next door to us. I helped them once, and this teapot was given to me by them."

Lin Yuan: "Then you have to be careful, this purple clay teapot is a treasure."

Zisha teapot is a traditional Chinese handmade clay handicraft that was first created during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty.

From Gongchun's tree gall pot and six-petal round sac pot during the Zhengde and Jiajing periods of the Ming Dynasty, to the purple clay mandarin duck tea set - the Chinese Dragon Pot - designed by Ji Hansheng and made by Cao Anxiang, which can brew two kinds of tea at the same time, to the Dharma Teapot made by Buddhist purple clay artist Yan Yan, each pot is unique and has great effort in its appreciation.

It is precisely because of the combination of artistry and practicality that the purple clay teapot is so precious and memorable.

In addition, the benefits of brewing tea with a purple clay teapot and its cultural atmosphere of tea and Zen add to the noble and elegant charm of the purple clay teapot.

From the Ming Dynasty to the present, purple clay teapots have always been very valuable.

Over hundreds of years of history, purple clay teapots have become one of the representatives of tea culture with their unique materials, exquisite craftsmanship and rich cultural connotations, and are deeply loved by literati and poets.

With the growing prosperity of the collection market, purple clay teapots, as treasures among traditional Chinese handicrafts, are highly sought after.

Henry's family and Paul were all stunned.

Is this also a treasure?
Henry's father couldn't help but ask, "How much is it worth?"

Lin Yuan "looked" at the blue light spot on the treasure hunter. The blue color was relatively darker, which meant it was closer to 10 US dollars.

"Eighty to ninety thousand dollars. Of course, it would be best to let Henry take it to Uncle De to have him take a look and get an estimate of the price. I don't know much about the market." Lin Yuan said.

Henry's family didn't know about Uncle De, but Henry and Paul knew.

When Henry's parents heard this, they realized that this teapot was worth $80,000 or $90,000, so they would not use it to make tea. They quickly poured out the tea and put it away.

Henry's mother even prepared to wash it clean.

Lin Yuan quickly stopped her and told her not to wash it casually, as it would lower its value.

If you are not careful and brush off the patina, its value will be greatly reduced.

The Henry family immediately dared not move, fearing that their unprofessional operation would cause the teapot to depreciate.

At this time, Paul received a call from his colleague.

His colleagues told him that the guy had gone to report the incident, saying that they had seized his belongings without any reason and demanded that the market management return his belongings.

Paul sneered. How could he spit out the meat in his mouth?
He immediately said that he would go back immediately.

Before going back, he asked Lin Yuan and others whether they wanted to continue searching for treasure there.

The uncle naturally wanted to go, because making money was more important than wasting time. However, this matter depended on the nephew's opinion.

"Then let's continue!" Lin Yuan nodded.

Henry doesn't want to be idle either, this is a rare opportunity!

So they went to the antique market near the city hall.

I saw several Koreans protesting.

It turned out that he found his "compatriots" to give him courage. No wonder he dared to come back and ask for the confiscated items.
