Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

The watermelon season is so short; it will only last a month at most before it's over.

If you send it in the dead of winter, someone might come looking for you to have tea any minute?

Are you kidding me?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

Earning an extra twenty yuan a day only amounts to six hundred yuan a month.

Why bother!

Besides, what good would it do me to have so much money now?

I'd rather keep these things and trade them for some antiques at the pigeon market!

Chapter 038 Receiving a Yuan Blue and White Porcelain Piece

At noon, Liu Aiguo happily took Yu Li home.

Besides Yu Li, they also brought two large fish, each three feet long.

They are all grass carp.

As for the real behemoth, the five-foot-long carp was given to the top leader.

Of course, the top leader also gave Liu Aiguo a bicycle ticket and a watermelon delivery job.

Of course, none of these are the most crucial points.

Because the top leader felt that these things were completely inferior to Liu Aiguo's big fish.

He said himself that he owed Liu Aiguo a favor, and that Liu Aiguo could come to him if he ever needed anything in the future.

For Liu Aiguo, this favor was the most crucial and precious thing.

"Brother Aiguo..."

Yu Li sat sideways on the back of the bicycle, her head pressed against Liu Aiguo's back, and asked, "You gave them such a big fish, why didn't you ask them for money? That's over 160 yuan, plus 100 jin of coupons!"

As Liu Aiguo rode his bike, he asked, "Don't you think it's a huge pity?"

Yu Li nodded.

Liu Aiguo said, "You don't understand... Sometimes, the less you fight for something, the more others will give it to you!"

"The more you fight for it, the more you'll end up with nothing!"

"Just wait and see, there will come a day when you'll feel that this carp was worth every penny!"

They arrived at Yu Li's house quickly. Liu Aiguo left the two fish with her and then rode away on his bicycle.

“This child…” Li Chunlan said, “Two fish this big, how much money must they have cost… Yu Li, really, you two are going to be living together in the future, how can you waste money like this?”

Li Chunlan felt a pang of heartache.

Yu Li pouted and said, "Don't worry, Mom... these fish didn't cost any money. Liu Aiguo took me fishing in the Yongding River!"

"What?"

"Such big fish, were they all caught by fishing?"

……

Meanwhile, Liu Aiguo rode his bicycle to the countryside.

I've packed up my things.

Although there are many items in the system, Liu Aiguo still has to go to his fellow villagers' homes to collect them.

why?

Because a transaction involves both parties.

Many villagers rely on Liu Aiguo to supplement their income. If Liu Aiguo were to quit, their eggs would be unsellable for a while, and they would be reluctant to eat them. Wouldn't that be a sin?

and also!

Liu Aiguo also had his own ulterior motives.

At that time, almost every household in the area around Beijing had one or two nice items.

There's a 80% chance you'll get the treasure.

If it's an antique, we'll buy it and keep it; it's all wealth.

"Bang bang bang..."

Liu Aiguo arrived at a door and began to knock.

Aunt Wang opened the door and was overjoyed to see Liu Aiguo. She exclaimed, "Purchaser Liu...you've arrived! I've been waiting for you for two weeks..."

"Come in and have some water?"

Aunt Wang went inside to get eggs, and her fourteen-year-old daughter came out and fetched a bowl of water from a bucket for Liu Aiguo.

And he stood right in front of Liu Aiguo, watching him finish drinking the water.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Liu Aiguo asked. "Do I have flowers on my face?"

The girl's face immediately turned bright red.

He lowered his head and went back into the house, but his eyes peeked through the dilapidated window and kept staring at Liu Aiguo.

The more she looked, the redder her face became!

"coming……"

More than twenty eggs again.

Liu Aiguo collected them one by one, and then gave them money and some grain coupons.

"Aunt Wang!" Liu Aiguo said, "Do you have any old items at home, big or small? If you do, I'll take them too!"

"What?"

Aunt Wang said, "An old object... what is that?"

Liu Aiguo joked, "It's an antique!"

"Yes, I think so. Let me ask the father!"

A few minutes later, a short but burly man came out of the house, carrying a porcelain bottle in his hand.

He handed it to Liu Aiguo.

Li Aiguo, you caught my nose: "What's this? It stinks!"

Aunt Wang chuckled and said, "Pickled vegetables, it's too hot in the summer, the pickled vegetables will spoil."

buzzing...

Liu Aiguo's eyes flickered, and the porcelain bottle in his hand was instantly enveloped in a golden glow.

The body's super treasure appraisal skill was activated in an instant.

He also obtained information about this thing.

[Yuan Dynasty Lotus Pattern Porcelain Vase]: Produced in the thirteenth year of the Zhizheng era, it is quite valuable.

Liu Aiguo was shocked.

Although the system did not provide a specific valuation.

But this thing, this is a huge Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain jar!

In later generations, it would be normal for an auction to cost 100 million.

It's too precious.

So precious!

"This is a real treasure!" Old Wang looked at Liu Aiguo, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness, and said, "It was passed down from my ancestors. My ancestors were high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty!"

"Hehehe..." Liu Aiguo chuckled and said, "It's an old item!"

"How much is it?" Old Wang asked excitedly.

Liu Aiguo asked, "How much do you think it's worth?"

Old Wang said, "It should be at least three hundred yuan, and you also need to give me one hundred jin of grain coupons!"

Liu Aiguo shook his head.

Old Wang asked, "What's wrong...? Is it not worth it? If it's not worth it, I'll give you a hundred yuan!"

Liu Aiguo scoffed: "Damn, this guy... he just said one sentence and cut off two-thirds of the steel himself."

That...that shrewd glint in his eyes was just an act, wasn't it?

"Too low!" Liu Aiguo said, "This thing should be very valuable... If you keep it for your son and grandson, you can probably sell it for even more in the future. If you give it to me, I'll give it to you..."

Liu Aiguo pondered for a moment.

Do you want money?

"This thing of yours is worth a thousand yuan, right...? I don't have that much money on me!" Liu Aiguo said, "How about this, I'll give you five hundred yuan first, and you can pay me the rest, okay?"
