Age: My Small World

Chapter 180 I want them all
"You guys are going to take action on all these things, right?"

Yang Jun asked aloud.

"Yes, Brother Xiaoshan."

Mi Shan nodded quickly.

Mi Liang was a step slower and nodded as well.

"Actually, there's no need to find another way. I can just take it." Yang Jun said after pondering for a while.

Mi Shan and Mi Liang were already very happy.

"Brother Xiaoshan, do you really want it?"

"How can it be false?"

Yang Jun shrugged.

"Besides, I also want the knife, so I'll count it as one of yours."

"Now you guys make your offer."

With Mr. Hu looking after them, the two would not ask for an exorbitant price. That was why Yang Jun dared to accept the item without even hearing the price.

"Is this thing really useful to you? Don't mess around."

The old man was afraid that he would deliberately pay the money to take care of himself.

Of course, if the price is not outrageous, the painting alone would be worth having in your hands.

The reason why he asked Yang Jun to take on this task was because he saw Tang Bohu's paintings.

It's beneficial to both parties.

"Master, do you think I'm reckless? I'm really interested."

Although antiques are of no use now, they can be valuable in the future.

Of course, Yang Jun had no intention of collecting antiques in advance. He just bought them when he came across them. It was purely a matter of fate.

He has no interest in collecting antiques and then selling them at a high price decades later. By that time, he will be old and perhaps financially independent. Why bother?

It's just a good thing. If you keep it yourself, others won't destroy it. Just think of it as saving some cultural products.

"That's the best. My efforts won't be in vain."

Mr. Hu felt relieved now and sat on the kang to watch them negotiate the price.

Mi Shan thought for a long time, finally scratched his head and said: "How about ten dollars? We went to the city with ten dollars before."

Yang Jun looked a little strange.

Seeing this, Mi Shan thought he had asked too high a price, so he quickly changed his tone and said, "How about five dollars? No, two dollars will do. I won't suffer a loss. This box only cost 40 cents."

In comparison, the knife is actually a bit more expensive. After all, buying a kitchen knife in the city costs two dollars.

"Then how did you get this knife?"

Yang Jun didn't agree immediately. He listened for a long time and realized that the knife was not bought together.

"We picked up this knife."

"Picking it up?" Yang Jun stared. There was such a good thing.

"I really found it. Before we came back, we were out of money, so we went to the garbage station to rummage around, hoping to find something to exchange for food. I didn't expect to find it."

In fact, there is nothing much in the garbage stations these days. Everyone is a master of saving, so how could they throw away anything useful? So the garbage stations are really full of garbage, and basically there is nothing useful to be found. It is probably luck that they found this knife.

I guess someone dropped the knife in a panic and they picked it up.

After asking carefully, it turned out that before the two people entered the garbage station, someone ran away in a hurry.

Then Mi Shan and the other man found a knife and two dimes in it to support them in returning.

"Haha, you guys are pretty lucky."

"I think I'm pretty lucky on this trip." Mi Shan smiled embarrassedly.

Yang Jun's expression grew more serious, and he said, "I won't let you get away with this price. If you donate this painting alone, you can at least get something in return. If that doesn't work, you can sell it. The price can be over 20 yuan."

He was underestimating the price. For example, Mr. Qi's paintings were sold for 20 yuan, and Tang Yin's paintings were even more expensive, probably around 70 or 80 yuan. However, the limited size of this painting, coupled with its unknown provenance, meant that its price was similar to Mr. Qi's current paintings.

So he offered twenty, which was not too high and he had no intention of cheating anyone.

"Twenty?" Mi Shan was dumbfounded. He had said that the amount was too little, but he didn't expect Brother Xiaoshan to give so much.

He never thought that the things in a box could be sold for twenty dollars.

Yang Jun shook his head:
"That's just the price of the painting. For the other antique books and the knife, I'll make it thirty."

He gestured at the ancient Tang sword in his hand. This thing was indeed something that made people unable to let go.

After all, it was a gift from someone else, so Yang Jun did not use the value of the antique to estimate it.

However, he had already made up his mind that he owed the two of them the knife, and if the Mi brothers needed it in the future, he would not stand idly by.

"thirty?!!!"

The two continued to be dumbfounded.

"That's not good. We only want five dollars."

Too much money actually scares them.

Mr. Hu Ba said from the kang, "Mi Shan, Xiao Shan is telling the truth. This painting might be sold for this price, but it's very troublesome. You should just accept it. It won't be a loss for him."

The old man's words eased the atmosphere and made the Mi brothers realize that Yang Jun had taken the pressure of buying the painting, and they were quite grateful.

"Thank you, Brother Xiaoshan. If you have any instructions in the future, we will definitely help you."

"You're welcome. I'm the one who made the profit from this deal." As he said that, Yang Jun naturally took out six Great Unity banknotes from his pocket and handed them over.

"Also, I have to thank you for the knife."

"No, we are here to thank you." Mi Shan gestured to Mi Liang to take the money and keep it.

With the money, the two brothers felt a sense of sudden enlightenment, and the tension in their bodies gradually dissipated.

"Haha, everyone is happy today, let's have a meal together."

"Xiaoshan, I'll teach you knife skills after dinner." Mr. Hu said with a smile.

He was really happy today. The house hadn't been so lively for a long time.

Most importantly, Yang Jun made him particularly happy.

Not only is he good at martial arts, but he also has good character. With a disciple like him, what more could you ask for?

"Yes, Master." After Yang Jun finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed at the bag he had taken at the beginning. The old man had never noticed it.

"Why did you bring something here again?" He couldn't help but glare at her.

"I'm worried you'll be hungry. Besides, I can't come over every few days now, so I can't look after you all the time. I'm worried too."

"Hungry? You think I'm just an old man who eats for free, right?"

Mr. Hu's heart, which had just been relieved, suddenly became unhappy.

While the two of them were chatting, the Mi brothers helped him reorganize his things.

The items in the box were placed more neatly and carefully, and the ancient paintings were tied up with scrolls.

Mi Liang whispered, "Brother, Brother Xiaoshan is such a good person. He gave us so much money."

Mi Shan sighed, "Without Brother Xiaoshan, we wouldn't even know who to sell this thing to."

"Besides, I think Brother Xiaoshan is a capable person. If we have the opportunity in the future, we can follow Brother Xiaoshan to do things, and we will definitely not starve."

He knows how to think long-term.

Thirty yuan can only solve a temporary problem. If you want to have enough food to eat for a long time, you still have to find a direction to do things.

And Mi Shan obviously had some ideas about Yang Jun.

"Brother, I will listen to you. I am happy to follow Brother Xiaoshan."
