Chapter 242 Cloisonne Kirin
Xu Youyou booked the buyer for this flower-mouthed plate with almost no effort.
The price is of course not low.
The system also refreshed the task reward shortly after she took the plate, and it was still as generous as ever.
But she asked the system a little strangely: "This flower-mouthed plate is of extremely valuable, why didn't it directly refresh the task of picking up the bargain?"
The system's reply is also very straightforward: [Because this task is actually not too difficult. 】
Xu Youyou was stunned. She recalled her trading process. Even the bargaining person was Xu Fang, which was indeed not difficult.
On the contrary, for this system mission, the people who were guarding the door of the store still did not send any good news back for three consecutive days.
When Xu Youyou thought of the system's task time, she couldn't help but feel anxious, fearing that if she continued like this, it would be timed out.
She even had some idea of wanting to operate the same way as in China.
"Ms. Xu, the landlord of this house is the store owner. We cannot contact him, and it is difficult to convey your ideas to him."
After receiving such a reply, Xu Youyou was helpless. She failed to buy a house and had someone ask for the owner.
According to an acquaintance in the surrounding shops, this is the character of the shop owner. When he has money, he will go and be happy and come back to open a store immediately when he has no money.
When will this person come back now depends on when he spends all his money.
"He wouldn't come back to open a store even if he had to give him millions of euros before he spent all his money." This is what an acquaintance commented on the owner.
Xu Youyou only felt that the other party’s concept of money was still too advanced, and she could only look forward to it unkindly in her heart that this person would spend all the money he had and go back to open a store soon.
Perhaps it was Xu Youyou's prayer that had some effect. On the fifth day when someone was waiting, she finally received the news that the store was back.
Xu Youyou asked the driver to drive there as soon as possible and arrived at the second-hand market as quickly as possible.
However, as soon as she came, she saw that the other party was closing the door and opened the sign with uncertain return.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" Even if the French translator shouted.
But the owner who kept a instant roll, like he didn't hear it at all, still closed the store door on his own.
Xu Youyou didn't expect this to happen, and couldn't help asking the person who was in charge of squatting.
The man had a bitter face and said, "Miss Xu, this person has only been here for more than an hour. Someone came to buy things. It seemed that he had paid a few hundred euros, and then he started closing the store."
Xu Youyou:…
"Is hundreds of euros so valuable?" Xu Youyou said with a frown.
Although it is worth about a few thousand yuan to convert into RMB, even in first-tier cities in China, it can be spent for a while, but she still couldn't help feeling bitter.
"Miss Xu, don't worry. I guess he will take at most three days to come back and continue to open the store," said the French translator.
Xu Youyou didn't even dare to return to the house in the city center, and directly asked someone to arrange another residence near the second-hand market.
It was almost the same as what the French translator said. After waiting for another three days, the store finally reopened.
Xu Youyou rushed over in less than ten minutes. The shop owner looked lazy, wore sunglasses, and was sitting on the lounge chair outside the shop, with a glass of orange juice on his hand. If someone didn't know, I would think he was on vacation here, so who would tell that he was a store owner.
The boss saw Xu Youyou walking into the store, but he didn't even follow him, but was still lying there basking in the sun.
Xu Youyou found a drum with the system's instructions.
This drum looks simple in shape, but Xu Youyou always feels something is wrong.
Modern products, even if they try to make antique appearances, cannot hide the traces of modern industrial on them.
This is the case with this drum.
Xu Youyou picked up the drum and took it to the store owner.
"The sound of this drum is very dull, not a good drum." The boss said in French.
Xu Youyou paused when she heard this, but she didn't expect the boss to be quite honest, but she still said, "I like it very much. If you want to buy it, you can offer a price."
"Five hundred euros." said the store owner.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Xu Youyou didn't bargain, but just asked too much: "Where did this thing come from? Did it be collected from others?"
Seeing that she was paying happily and was beautiful, the boss was happy to talk to her: "It is the inheritance of a relative I inherited. That relative likes your antiques in China very much. I don't know where he got this thing. It's a pity that this drum should not be worth it."
Xu Youyou did not continue to stay in the second-hand market, but returned to her residence. No matter how she looked, she could not see where this drum was valuable. After all, there was no obvious sign and no high artistic value as a musical instrument.
She couldn't help asking the system: "Can I remove this thing?"
The system does not speak.
Xu Youyou immediately understood that this was a default, and she found a tool without any hesitation to cut the drum open.
Xu Youyou didn't know how the traditional drum was made. The structure inside the drum was obviously a bit strange. She saw something extremely tightly wrapped inside.
She had a guess in her mind, afraid that something truly valuable had appeared.
She carefully took out the thing, and after she took off the wrap, what was exposed seemed to be a unicorn ornament?
This Kirin ornament is blue-colored overall, and looks extremely exquisite.
Xu Youyou held her mobile phone and tried several keywords, and got the exact result.
Cloisonne unicorn.
This treasure was originally stored in the Old Summer Palace, but was stolen by the French during the catastrophe in China more than a hundred years ago. It was originally stored in the Palace of Fontainebleau. In 2015, the treasure was stolen and its whereabouts are still unknown.
Xu Youyou remembered the shop owner who sold this treasure. He inherited this drum from his relative who died unexpectedly. His relative is said to be a veteran, without a wife or a child, and has never liked to interact with other relatives for many years.
The owner didn't even know that he had this relative until the lawyer found him and read the inheritance, so he didn't know where this thing came from.
Although Xu Youyou was a little curious, did the relative of this veteran know that there was a cloisonne unicorn hidden in this dam, or whether this person was the mastermind of the theft case back then.
It’s a pity that now that time has changed, no one can ask the truth from the dead.
"It seems that you have gained a lot in France. The preliminary judgment is that it should be the cloisonné unicorn stolen from Danfeng Bailu Palace." Lu Jingyao asked a large number of domestic experts to make such a judgment based on several photos sent by Xu Youyou.
