Li Yu went to the Medicine Valley to ask Fan Wuhen for an antidote. If you ask for it, you naturally cannot leave empty-handed. Before leaving, the brothers and brothers from Guihongmen gathered some jewelry and handed it to Li Yu, asking him to serve as gifts to Fan Wuhen in exchange for Fan Wuhen's help. Unexpectedly, Fan Wuhen died suddenly, and Li Yu's gifts were naturally not given out. Now that the sea has become mulberry fields, Han Zhi and Li Yu's brothers must have been no longer alive, and these jewelry naturally belong to Li Yu.

The bracelet that Li Yu took out for Sun Shan was exactly one of the jewelry pieces made of pure gold and exquisitely made. It was worth 40 or 50 taels of silver back then. Compared with the silver bracelet on Sun Shan stall, it was dozens of times more expensive. If the silver bracelet on Sun Shan could be 5,000 yuan, then the gold bracelet would be worth at least 100,000 yuan, right?

Of course, Li Yu also knew that Sun Shan said that 5,000 yuan is exaggerated. If the water is squeezed out, the real price is estimated to be around 1,000. According to this calculation, his gold bracelet can be worth 40,000 to 50,000, which is enough for Li Yu to live in this era for one or two years.

Li Yu had never thought of being low-key, but he really couldn't find anything cheaper than this gold bracelet. Fan Wuhen is not an ordinary person, so Li Yu certainly couldn't see him with some cheap gifts. In his backpack, any piece of jewelry is much more expensive than this gold bracelet, and he dare not take it out easily.

Sun Shan is also a person who knows the goods. The moment he receives this gold bracelet, he knows that it is definitely a good thing. Judging from the weight, the bracelet is definitely made of real gold and is not doped with other metals. This is secondary. The most important thing is the workmanship of the bracelet. It is made of gold pieces and gold wire hammers. Four filigree dragons can be seen on the surface. Although it is only between square inches, the longan and dragon whiskers, etc. are clearly visible and lifelike. Such workmanship, let alone antiques, cannot be underestimated even if it is a modern product.

Sun Shan estimated that if this bracelet was sold at an antique shop in the city, it would be sold at least 100,000 or 80,000 yuan. If you meet someone you like, you can even pay for 200,000 yuan. Although Sun Shan has been doing antiques for several years, this is the first time he has seen such a good collection.

"Not bad!" Sun Shan praised, "This bracelet looks like new. Why is it your master's beloved baby?"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Yu with a knowing look, which meant: Little Taoist, I have seen through your little tricks. If you steal your master’s things and sell them, don’t expect to ask for the sky.

Li Yu returned Sun Shan's teasing expression and said lightly: "Brother guessed wrong. This is my family's ancestral property, not stolen. If you really like it, just offer a price."

Did I see it wrong? Sun Shan felt a stern in his heart. Li Yu's expression was too calm. This was definitely not something that a Taoist priest who stole his master's treasure, or even something that people of Li Yu's age could have. He was a little more cautious about Li Yu, pondered for a while before he slowly said: "This bracelet is indeed very good in workmanship, but its appearance is really too new. I suspect that it was at most from the Republic of China, and it might even be a handicraft made by modern people. For the sake of workmanship and quality, I will give you 5,000 yuan. What do you think?"

"5,000 yuan? In other words, the price is the same as your silver bracelet?" Li Yu asked back.

"This silver bracelet is definitely not worth 5,000. You are also a knowledgeable person, right?" Sun Shan turned his face and denied his words just now. He also realized that Li Yu was not a fool. He must have known that the 5,000 yuan quote just now was false, so he had no psychological pressure when he denied it.

"To be honest, the only problem with this bracelet is that it is too new. I dare to guarantee that it is at most from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China." Sun Shan pushed the era forward for decades, because with his eyes, of course it could be seen that it must be an ancient product. As for the middle and late Ming Dynasty or the early Qing Dynasty, it is necessary to find someone to identify it, but it is probably unreasonable to insist that it was something from the Republic of China.

"When did you say it was the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China?" Li Yu was completely unaware of this history, so he simply asked Sun Shan for a question.

"At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it must have been after 1900. Isn't the Xinhai Revolution in 1911 considered the Republic of China? It was probably the case that lasted for more than ten years, and it was only about 100 years now, and it was considered an old item, but the price was quite a bit short of money." Sun Shan said with a clever tongue.

Li Yu nodded, and he had a little more historical knowledge. That's right. To this extent, he was too lazy to go around with Sun Shan and said bluntly:

"Brother, we are all wise people, and wise people don't say secret words. This bracelet was made during the Wanli period. There is the word "Ruliang" on the inside. It is the name of Ding Ruliang, a gold and silver craftsman in the Wanli period. My brother is in this business and will not be able to recognize it, right? My bracelet is a ancestral thing. If it weren't for urgent use at home, I wouldn't have taken action. I'd just give it a refreshing price."

"This..." Sun Shan suddenly became hoarse. He looked carefully at the inside of the bracelet and saw the word "Ruliang". But as for what Li Yu said, the gold and silver craftsman Ding Ruliang, he knew nothing. Li Yu said so surely, but he could not refute it, and he was a little hesitant for a moment.

"Or, I believe that my little brother will give you 10,000, no, 15,000, what do you think?" Sun Shan gritted his teeth and said.

"Then I'll keep it myself." Li Yu reached out and snatched the bracelet, turned around and left. He just emphasized that he had urgent needs at home and wanted to sell the bracelet, but in fact he deliberately left room for bargaining for Sun Shan. His psychological price for this bracelet was about 50,000, and even if Sun Shan offered a price of 30,000, he would take action. But to such a clear point, Sun Shan was still chewing, and Li Yu was too lazy to bother him anymore.

"20,000, what do you think!" Sun Shan asked behind.

"Forget it, I'll find another sincere buyer." Li Yu said a word and continued to walk forward.

"Little brother, let me see your bracelet, how about it?"

At this time, a voice came from behind, with a slightly gentle tone.

Li Yu stopped and looked back. He saw an old man standing behind him, wearing a pair of buttons in a Tang suit with a double-breasted button, his hair was half white, and he looked like he was in his sixties. The old man's face looked calm and looked unscathed, which made Li Yu feel a little respectful.

In fact, when he was still at Sunshan's stall just now, Li Yu had noticed that the old man was standing not far away. He talked to Sunshan, and the old man saw it. The reason why the old man didn't say anything just now was that when the deal between Li Yu and Sunshan collapsed, he caught up and said hello was also following the rules of the antique world, that is, when others' transactions were not finished, third parties could not intervene. Li Yu also understood this. From the point where the old man focused on listening to their conversation, Li Yu could guess that this should be an antique player.

"Sir, are you interested in this bracelet for younger generations?" Li Yu asked respectfully.

"Well, when you gave the bracelet to the stall owner just now, I saw it and was a little happy to see it, so I took the liberty to ask for it to see it. I don't know what the little brother thought." The old man learned Li Yu's tone and said in a genius that people in the antique industry have some knowledge of Chinese studies, but they are not used to talking like this, so it is inevitable that they are a little awkward to speak.

"It's okay." Li Yu said. He looked around and pointed to a bench for passers-by to rest and said, "Old sir, let's sit there and talk, how about it?"

The old man looked at Li Yu's finger and shook his head and said, "It's too noisy there. It's like this. There is a teahouse not far away in front of him, which is quite quiet. I asked my little brother to sit there. What should we talk about while drinking tea? I still have some questions and want to ask my little brother for advice."

"I dare not, just follow what the old man said." Li Yu replied.

The old man led Li Yu forward a few steps. There was indeed a small teahouse in front of him, which looked a bit elegant. The old man entered the teahouse with familiarity. A friend had already come up to him. Without saying a word, he took them both to the private room upstairs and delivered four-color refreshments.

Seeing the refreshments on the table, Li Yu was determined and his eyes were a little wandering. If it were anyone, he had been hungry for 380 years, and it was difficult to remain calm when he saw the food in front of him. The old man glanced at Li Yu and smiled and said, "What, are you hungry, little brother?"

"Indeed, after rushing dozens of miles of mountain road in the morning, I was indeed a little hungry, which made the old man laugh." Li Yu said.

"If you are hungry, eat something quickly." The old man pointed to the things on the table and said, "You are so old, it's the time to eat. As the saying goes, after a meal and a bowl, it means that you are at your age. It's okay. Even if you eat with it, I'll let me take some more if it's not enough."

"That younger generation is rude."

Li Yu agreed, then stretched out his hand, grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. He originally wanted to look more reserved, but his stomach was not good. As soon as the pastry came into his mouth, a powerful suction force seemed to produce in his stomach, which made him swallow it without even chewing it. His hands stopped obeying the command, thinking that the movement should be slower, but in fact it could not be done. In just two minutes, all four small plates of pastries entered his stomach.

The old man watched Li Yu eat voraciously, and a loving smile appeared on his face. Perhaps he thought of his grandchildren. He patted his hands gently, called the guy, and asked him to bring four plates of snacks. This time, he did not take them according to the amount of refreshments, but three times more, enough to make Li Yu's stomach full.
