The disturbance was resolved with Wu Tian's help, and the villagers began planting orange trees.
Wu Tian, not one to rest, also picked up a hoe and started helping.
Although everyone told him not to, he was kind-hearted and enthusiastic, and wouldn't shirk work just because he was the main contributor.
Moreover, for a farm boy, working was not a bad thing.
It could strengthen the body and foster better communication; why wouldn't he do it?
Thus, Wu Tian helped everyone work for two hours.
During this time, more than half of the orchard had been planted with seeds.
It was believed that the entire orchard would be established within half a day.
Wu Tian worked purely on his physical strength, without using any spiritual energy, as he felt that was the most satisfying way to work.
After all, if one relied on shortcuts for everything and put in no effort, life would lose its meaning.
After two continuous hours of work, he felt quite tired.
He sat down on the ground, intending to rest for a while before continuing.
But just then, Wang Damao suddenly shouted, "Hey! Everyone, come quickly and see what this is!"
The villagers immediately gathered around, but Wu Tian wasn't interested.
He thought Wang Damao was overreacting and it couldn't be anything significant.
However, the villagers' subsequent exclamations stunned him.
Someone shouted loudly, "My heavens, if this thing was buried in the ground, could it be an antique?"
"An antique?" Wu Tian's brow furrowed slightly.
Seeing the heated discussion, he became somewhat interested and got up to walk over.
Pushing through the crowd, he saw that under Wang Damao's hoe lay a vase.
From its appearance, the vase seemed to be blue and white porcelain, with a lot of mud stuck to it, clearly just dug out of the ground.
Wang Damao looked at the vase and mused, "Hiss... I say, fellow villagers, could this thing really be an antique? Has anyone seen this before?"
The villagers shook their heads, "No, no, we don't have anything like this at home."
Wang Damao looked puzzled and said, "Then this is truly strange. Who do you think buried this thing here?"
A villager suggested, "Village Chief, why don't you get this thing appraised? What if it's really an antique?"
"Yes, if it's a genuine antique, wouldn't you strike it rich?"
Wang Damao nodded and said, "That's right, you're all correct. I should definitely get it appraised."
"If this thing is a real antique, I'll average out how much it sells for and distribute it to every household!"
Hearing Wang Damao's generous words, everyone's interest immediately piqued, and they didn't even want to continue their work.
They eagerly said, "Then what are we waiting for? Village Chief, let's go now! I'm so excited!"
The event happened too suddenly, and Wang Damao hadn't made up his mind yet.
At this moment, Wu Tian spoke up, "Why don't you let me take a look?"
Wang Damao blinked and then asked, "No way, Wu Tian, do you know how to appraise antiques?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Actually, I have some research in appraisal, because I took an elective in appraisal in college."
"Really!" Wang Damao didn't doubt Wu Tian's words at all.
He quickly said, "If that's the case, then Wu Tian, please take a quick look. How much is this thing worth?"
Wu Tian nodded, took the vase from Wang Damao, and used his clairvoyant vision to examine the information about the vase.
He was stunned by what he saw.
Because this vase was indeed blue and white porcelain, and it was even imperial blue and white porcelain!
He never expected that such a treasure was buried beneath Peach Blossom Village!
However, Wu Tian didn't reveal the situation immediately. Instead, he pretended to examine the vase for a moment.
After all, if he revealed it directly, its credibility would be too low.
After a while, Wang Damao finally asked, "Wu Tian, have you figured it out? What about this vase?"
Wu Tian laughed heartily at Wang Damao, "Village Chief, you've found a great treasure this time."
"To be honest with you, this is blue and white porcelain, and it was even a collection of Emperor Taizong of Tang!"
"What did you say?!" Hearing Wu Tian's words, everyone was greatly shocked.
Even a few timid individuals fell to the ground.
Although they were not well-educated, they knew about Emperor Taizong of Tang and blue and white porcelain.
This was a genuine treasure!
Wang Damao could barely stand.
He trembled and said, "This is blue and white porcelain collected by Emperor Taizong of Tang? Wu Tian, you're not tricking us, are you?"
Wu Tian shook his head and smiled, "Village Chief, how could I joke about something like this? This is Emperor Taizong of Tang's blue and white porcelain, I'm not lying to you!"
Wang Damao continued to tremble and asked, "Then... then how much can this thing sell for outside?"
Wu Tian didn't hide anything and directly said, "According to my estimation, this thing can sell for at least two million!"
"Two million?!" As soon as Wu Tian said this, Wang Damao felt his heart stop.
He looked at Wu Tian with utter shock and said, "Wu Tian, are you really not lying to me? This thing is worth two million?!"
Wu Tian nodded, "Village Chief, I'm truly not lying to you."
"Two million is the base price. If it were to be hyped up at an auction, let alone two million, it wouldn't be impossible to sell it for five million!"
Hearing Wu Tian say this, Wang Damao almost fainted.
He trembled and said, "F-five million? My heavens, this is too terrifying!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Village Chief, it seems you're about to get rich!"
Wang Damao finally managed to calm his excitement. His eyes were fixed as he said, "It's not that I'm getting rich, it's our village's good fortune!"
"If we sell this thing and distribute the money to everyone, wouldn't each household get over ten thousand?"
Hearing Wang Damao's words, Wu Tian felt respect for him.
After all, Wang Damao had dug up this item, and as the village chief, if he had been determined to keep it for himself, the villagers would have had no recourse.
But Wang Damao was actually thinking of distributing the money, which showed he was indeed a very competent village chief.
Then, Wang Damao asked Wu Tian again, "By the way, Wu Tian, do you have any connections to sell this thing?"
"I've heard there are many scammers outside. If we go to sell it, I'm worried we'll be deceived!"
