"This broken cup is worth five thousand?" Lu Fan shook his head, "How about fifty yuan?"
"Young man, you probably don't recognize a good thing. This is an ancient treasure, genuine and authentic!" the boss said earnestly, "How about this! I'll give you a discount, three thousand, how about that?"
"One hundred yuan! Besides this celadon cup, I want that chamber pot too!" Lu Fan pointed to the corner.
The boss gritted his teeth, "How about this! Chamber pot plus celadon cup, you give a total of one thousand yuan. I'm selling this to you at a loss, the price can't be any lower."
"Three hundred yuan for both!"
Lu Fan dug into his pockets, shrugged, and smiled, "That's all I have. If you're not willing, I'll leave now!"
"You young man, you're quite good at bargaining for your age."
The boss gave Lu Fan a look, "I'll do you a good deed today and sell it to you!"
Having obtained the celadon cup and the chamber pot, Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction. He seemed particularly fond of the chamber pot, and didn't pay much attention to the celadon cup.
When he was on the mountain, he not only learned many medical skills but also developed a discerning eye. From the beginning, Lu Fan felt that the chamber pot was an ancient treasure, and he deliberately wanted to buy the celadon cup, with the chamber pot being his real target. The boss probably still hadn't figured it out.
After Lu Fan left, the boss touched the three banknotes and smiled, "A broken cup, plus a broken chamber pot. This kid is quite foolish. Three hundred yuan is still money!"
Before the boss's words had finished, Lu Fan returned, "Boss, where is the antique market in Qingzhou?"
"It's just around the corner. Why are you going to the antique market?" the boss asked, "I have a lot of goods on my stall. Why don't you take another look, see if there's anything else you need."
"No need. I'm short on money right now and plan to take the chamber pot to auction!" Lu Fan said to himself.
"Cough cough..." The boss gave an embarrassed smile, "Little brother, you're not joking, are you? You bought something for three hundred yuan and now you want to auction it!"
"Can't be helped, I'm a bit tight on cash!" Lu Fan shrugged, "I've given you all my possessions!"
"Since you want to go, I won't stop you, but I advise you not to get your hopes up too high," the boss said kindly, "Don't make a fool of yourself later."
"I won't. This isn't an ordinary chamber pot!"
Lu Fan smiled and turned to leave.
The boss shook his head, "This kid must be desperate for money! To think of taking a chamber pot to auction!"
Lu Fan didn't go far before he heard the boss's words, but he didn't care. This chamber pot was quite old. Although it didn't sound pleasant, it was still an ancient treasure, and its price probably wouldn't be low. However, if the boss knew the origin of the chamber pot, he wouldn't have sold it to him so easily.
Following the boss's directions, Lu Fan navigated through several turns before arriving at the antique street. The street was wide, with antiques displayed on both sides, and the street was bustling with people.
"Little brother, want to take a look? Our antiques are genuine and authentic, absolutely no fakes!"
A man smiled at Lu Fan, appearing quite enthusiastic.
"Brother, where is the auction house?" Lu Fan asked.
"You want to go to the auction house?" The boss glanced at the chamber pot in Lu Fan's hand with some disdain, "The auction house is just ahead, but you're carrying a chamber pot. Don't tell me you think this is a treasure?"
"Cough cough... This is no ordinary..." Lu Fan was about to explain but then stopped himself. He knew that further explanation would be futile and meaningless.
Seeing Lu Fan leave, the boss shook his head, naturally believing that Lu Fan had been deceived.
Arriving at the auction house, Lu Fan walked straight in. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a familiar figure.
"Yo, what a coincidence! I didn't expect you to be here!"
Yang Jiaqi, wearing a dress, looked at Lu Fan, "This is the auction house. Do you have any treasures to auction?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Lu Fan glanced at her, "My luck is really bad today."
"Hmph, don't think you're so great just because you have some medical skills. I've found out that Mr. Bai was polite to you that day because his elderly father was seriously ill," Yang Jiaqi sneered, "It even caused my grandfather to slap me. If I hadn't investigated personally, I would have really thought you had some great background!"
Lu Fan ignored her and walked towards the auction hall, but Yang Jiaqi blocked him, "How dare you ignore me."
"I'm not ignoring you, I just don't see you," Lu Fan said coldly, "I've already torn up the engagement contract, but I said that your Yang family will pay the price for this!"
"Who is he?"
A middle-aged man walked over, put his arm around Yang Jiaqi, and scanned Lu Fan.
"He's that poor loser," Yang Jiaqi said, "I didn't expect him to come here. What a coincidence!"
"The one who was jilted?" Shen Wei chuckled unexpectedly, "I thought it was someone else!"
Lu Fan couldn't be bothered to respond and walked towards the auction venue. He was penniless and was waiting to get money to buy medicine, so he couldn't be delayed.
Arriving at the auction venue, Lu Fan went to the front desk, "I want to auction this. Can you help me appraise it!"
Seeing Lu Fan take out the chamber pot, the front desk lady instinctively stepped back and glared, "What's wrong with you? Why did you bring a chamber pot in here."
"This is an ancient treasure!" Lu Fan said to himself, "I want to auction it. The price doesn't matter!"
"You must be desperate for money!" Yang Jiaqi sneered, "To think of bringing a chamber pot to auction. Do you think the auction house is your family's property?"
Lu Fan's face darkened. He didn't want to deal with Yang Jiaqi and looked directly at the front desk, "Please help me appraise it! And arrange for the auction!"
"If you're really short on money, I can lend you some," Shen Wei said with a smile, "You don't need to be so pathetic. Anyway, I've already wooed your fiancée, so I should compensate you."
Yang Jiaqi frowned. Shen Wei's words just now made her a little uncomfortable, but Shen Wei was powerful, so she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
"Be careful with your words! Otherwise, when you regret it, it will be too late!" Lu Fan shrugged, "By the way, she's not my fiancée, but trash I don't want. You actually like picking up trash!"
"You little brat, you don't want to live anymore!" Shen Wei swung a slap, but Lu Fan blocked it and kicked him. Shen Wei stumbled backward, having taken a hidden loss.
"Are you crazy? What's your status to dare lay hands on Young Master Shen!" Yang Jiaqi roared.
Lu Fan couldn't be bothered and looked towards the front desk.
"Sir, I have already done a preliminary appraisal. The chamber pot is not genuine."
The front desk lady covered her mouth and said to Lu Fan, seeming unable to bear it any longer. This was the auction house, frequented by dignitaries and influential people. Lu Fan's attire didn't look like that of a wealthy person, so how could such an item be genuine.
