Chapter 242 Cloisonne Kirin
Xu Youyou almost effortlessly booked a buyer for this flower-mouth plate.
The price is certainly not low either.
Not long after she took the plate, the system refreshed the mission reward, which was still as generous as ever.
But she asked the system a little strangely: "This flower-mouth plate is of extremely high value, why is it not directly refreshed with the task of picking up leaks?"
The system's reply was also very straightforward: [Because this task is actually not too difficult. 】
Xu Youyou was stunned. She recalled her transaction process. Even the person who bargained for the price was Xu Fang. It was indeed not difficult.
On the contrary, for this task of the system, for three consecutive days, the people guarding the door of the store still did not send back any good news.
Xu Youyou couldn't help but feel anxious when she thought about the system's task time, fearing that it would time out if she continued like this.
She even had some desire to operate the same as in China.
"Ms. Xu, the landlord of this house is the shop owner. We have no way to contact him, and it is difficult to convey your thoughts to him."
After receiving such a reply, Xu Youyou suddenly had no choice. She couldn't buy a house and asked someone to inquire about the shop owner.
According to acquaintances in nearby shops, this shop owner’s personality is like this. When he has money, he goes to be free and happy, and when he has no money, he immediately comes back to open a shop.
Now when this man comes back depends on when he spends all his money.
"Before the money is spent, even if you have to give him millions of euros, he will not come back to open a store." This is the evaluation of the shop owner by an acquaintance.
Xu Youyou only felt that the other person's concept of money was still too advanced, so she could only hope unkindly in her heart that this person would spend all his money and come back to open a store as soon as possible.
Maybe Xu Youyou's prayers had some effect. On the fifth day when someone was squatting there, she finally received the news that the store owner was back.
Xu Youyou asked the driver to drive there immediately and rushed to the second-hand market as quickly as possible.
However, as soon as she arrived, she saw the other party closing the door and hanging out the sign with an uncertain return date.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" Even the French translator reminded loudly.
But the shop owner, who had instant noodle rolls all over his head, acted as if he hadn't heard anything at all and still closed the door of his shop.
Xu Youyou didn't expect such a situation, so she couldn't help but ask the person in charge of the station.
The man made a sad face and said: "Ms. Xu, this man has only been here for more than an hour. Someone came to buy something. He seemed to have paid several hundred euros, and then he started to close the store."
Xu Youyou:......
"Is a few hundred euros so valuable?" Xu Youyou said with a wrinkled face.
Although converted into RMB, it was probably worth several thousand yuan. Even in first-tier cities in China, a few thousand yuan would last for a while, but she still couldn't help but feel bitter.
"Ms. Xu, don't worry. I estimate that he will have to spend a few hundred euros for at most three days before he comes back to open the store." said the French translator.
Xu Youyou didn't even dare to return to her house in the city center and directly asked someone to arrange another place to live near the second-hand market.
Just as the French translation said, after another three days of waiting, the store finally reopened.
It took Xu Youyou less than ten minutes to rush over. The shop owner looked lazy and wore a pair of sunglasses. He was sitting on a lounge chair outside the shop with a glass of orange juice in his hand. If someone didn't know better, they might think he was on vacation here. Who would have thought? It turns out that he is a shop owner.
When the boss saw Xu Youyou walking into the store, he didn't even follow her in. Instead, he just lay there basking in the sun.
Xu Youyou followed the system's instructions and found a drum.
This drum looks simple in shape, but Xu Youyou always feels that something is not right.
Modern products, even if they try hard to look antique, still cannot hide the traces of modern industry on their bodies.
This is the case with this drum.
Xu Youyou picked up the drum and brought it to the shop owner.
"The sound of this drum is very dull. It is not a good drum." The boss said in French.
Xu Youyou paused after hearing this. She didn't expect the boss to be quite honest, but she still said, "I like it very much. If I want to buy it, please give me a price."
"Five hundred euros," the shop owner said.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xu Youyou didn't negotiate the price, but just asked a lot: "Where did this thing come from? Did you get it from someone else?"
The boss saw that she paid happily and was pretty, so he was happy to talk to her: "It's the inheritance I inherited from a relative. That relative likes your Chinese antiques very much. I don't know where he got this thing from. It's a pity. This drum should be worthless.”
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 tell how valuable this drum was. After all, it did not have an obvious logo and signature, and secondly, it did not have high artistic value as a musical instrument.
She couldn't help but ask the system: "Can I dismantle this thing?"
The system doesn't speak.
Xu Youyou immediately understood that this was the acquiescence, and without any hesitation, she found a tool and cut open the drum.
Xu Youyou didn't know how traditional drums were made. The structure inside this drum was obviously strange. She saw something wrapped very tightly inside.
She had a guess in her mind, fearing that something truly valuable had already appeared.
She carefully took out the thing. After removing the wrapping, the thing exposed seemed to be a unicorn ornament?
This unicorn ornament has a blue color as a whole and looks extremely exquisite.
Xu Youyou took her mobile phone and tried a few keywords before getting the exact result.
Cloisonne unicorn.
This treasure was originally stored in the Old Summer Palace, but was robbed by the French during the domestic catastrophe 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 thought of the shopkeeper who sold this treasure. He inherited the drum from a relative who died unexpectedly. His relative was said to be a veteran with no wife or children. He did not like to interact with other relatives for many years. .
The shop owner didn't even know that he had this relative until the lawyer came to him to declare the inheritance, so he didn't know where this thing came from.
Although Xu Youyou was a little curious, did the veteran's relatives know that the cloisonné unicorn was hidden in this drum, or whether this person was the mastermind of the theft that year.
It's a pity that now that time has passed, no one can find out the truth from the mouths of the dead.
"It seems that you have gained a lot in France. Preliminary judgment is that it should be the cloisonné unicorn stolen from Danfeng Bailu Palace." Lu Jingyao relied on several photos sent by Xu Youyou and invited a lot of domestic experts to make such a determination.
