Chapter 011 You want me to collect junk? You want me to be a tomb raider!
As the saying goes, enemies are especially hateful when they meet!
Taking someone's money is like killing their parents!
Big Gold Tooth, he's guilty of both.
Immediately, Wang Kaixuan sat up abruptly, ready to confront Big Gold Tooth.
Seeing this, Hu Bayi tugged at Wang Kaixuan's sleeve.
He was being gestured to calm down.
Don't alert the enemy.
Looks like Big Gold Tooth has some customers.
Well then, that makes things easier!
Hu Bayi's eyes gleamed as he thought of a way to get the jade pendant back!
"Old Jin, I think you're going to have bad luck today."
Cao Kun said calmly.
is it?
Big Gold Tooth immediately tensed up.
He had been sunbathing all morning and felt he should have replenished his yang energy.
It was lunchtime when a customer came to the hot pot restaurant to eat meat and nourish his blood and qi.
Is that not enough?
"Master Cao, am I alright?"
Big Gold Tooth immediately said with some fear.
"Don't worry, it was a close call."
As Cao Kun spoke, he patted Big Gold Tooth on the shoulder.
The latter was then relieved.
Yes.
Cao Kun is there.
Last night at the ghost market.
Jin Wantang's five henchmen were all tall and strong.
Not all of them were knocked to the ground by Cao Kun.
The name "Number One in Tianjin" popped into Big Gold Tooth's mind.
He believed that Cao Kun was absolutely the number one fighter in Panjiayuan!
Big Gold Tooth turned around and continued to greet the guests he had brought.
"Hey buddy, twenty plates of beef, please."
Big Gold Tooth instructed his companions to eat first, and then add more meat when they were finished.
At this moment, the bronze furnace in front of Cao Kun was already boiling.
A delicious aroma of meat wafted over.
Cao Kun quickly picked up his chopsticks and grabbed a large mouthful of mutton.
Coat it with your own homemade sauce.
While it's still hot, put it in your mouth.
Cao Kun chewed it.
Satisfied nodded.
"Mmm, smells good!"
Cao Kun quickly picked up another piece of mutton with his chopsticks.
Meat should be eaten in big bites.
Before long, Cao Kun had eaten twenty plates.
Suddenly, Big Gold Tooth and Wang Kaixuan stood up.
Wang Kaixuan took the initiative, patting Big Gold Tooth on the shoulder: "Old Jin, let's go outside and talk..."
Big Gold Tooth is currently busy conning two elderly farmers from the countryside.
Suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder.
He turned to the side and snapped angrily, "Who is it? I don't know you!"
What?
Wang Kaixuan was dumbfounded.
This guy with the big gold tooth pretended not to recognize himself.
Wang Kaixuan was furious.
He wished he could go beat up Big Gold Tooth right now.
"Fatty, you're Boss Jin, right? Let's go outside and talk..."
Hu Bayi said softly.
Big Gold Tooth suddenly remembered what Cao Kun had said. Could it be that there was something wrong with these two?
He immediately stood up, his face beaming with smiles, and said, "Gentlemen, gentlemen, let's make money peacefully, let's talk this out..."
Big Gold Tooth is quite adept at changing his stance depending on the wind.
At this moment, Hu Bayi saw the wounds on the other person's face, which clearly indicated that he had just been beaten up.
Live it!
He felt that a greedy person like Big Gold Tooth must have done countless such wicked things.
After saying something to the two old farmers, Big Gold Tooth left his seat.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, one on each side, with Big Gold Tooth on their arms, were about to leave the shop.
"Wait a minute, you three."
Cao Kun had just cooked two more plates of sliced meat and said slowly.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan stopped and looked at Cao Kun with some suspicion.
"You've come here for this hexagonal jade pendant, haven't you?"
Cao Kun asked calmly.
"Hey, here it is—"
When Wang Kaixuan saw it, he went to take it.
Instead, Hu Bayi coughed lightly twice.
Previously, I learned from Fatty Wang that this man was a well-known scrap metal king in Panjiayuan.
People can spend a lot of money over three years buying all sorts of worthless old items.
This is enough to prove that the other party is very wealthy.
In other words, they have powerful connections.
We can afford to lose money!
Hu Bayi had once heard his grandfather, Hu Guohua, talk about various ways of counterfeiting antiques.
Many people who collect antiques for the first time have to pay a price in learning.
As the saying goes, "A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit!"
Cao Kun has no right to demand three years' worth of tuition.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Hu Bayi took out 300 yuan from his pocket.
"Brother, this is my brother Fatty. This piece of jade is a keepsake from his father."
"You absolutely shouldn't sell it unless it's a last resort. You bought it for 300 yuan, and here's 300 yuan—"
As he spoke, Hu Bayi handed the money to Cao Kun.
"No need, I'll offer 20000 for this jade pendant, is that alright?"
Cao Kun smiled faintly.
What?
Upon hearing this, Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.
"Master Cao, is this true?"
It would be a lie for Wang Kaixuan to say he wasn't tempted.
20000 yuan.
Wang Kaixuan doesn't know how many women's clothes and Hong Kong music tapes he would have to sell to earn that much.
Hu Bayi was equally astonished.
He had previously estimated that the hexagonal jade pendant would be worth no more than 8000 yuan.
Cao Kun didn't waste any words.
He took out his wallet, counted out 20000 yuan, and handed it to Wang Kaixuan.
Cao Kun knew that Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi still had disagreements.
Wang Kaixuan's hands trembled as he accepted the 20,000 yuan.
"Thank you, thank you..."
He didn't know what to say.
Hu Bayi still felt there was something wrong.
Cao Kun spoke up, "Fatty, I see that you two are no ordinary people. Would you be willing to come with me to the Northern Desert to collect old artifacts?"
"real?"
Wang Kaixuan blurted out what was on his mind.
Hu Bayi grunted in response.
Wang Kaixuan nudged Hu Bayi with his elbow.
"Alright, Lao Hu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't miss it."
Wang Kaixuan couldn't stop smiling!
"Master Cao, are we going to the northern desert to collect these old items?"
Hu Bayi asked, puzzled.
Cao Kun nodded, indicating that Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan could sit down and talk.
The two of them immediately pulled out chairs and sat down.
Big Gold Tooth also stayed and pulled up a chair.
"I've been here for three years now, so I'm sure Fatty knows my situation."
"Old Jin travels to Tianjin and the surrounding villages, but there are just too many people doing this, so he can't find anything good..."
Cao Kun said loudly.
"The northern desert, the northern desert is very big."
Hu Bayi pondered for a moment. His comrades in the army came from all over the country, including people from that place.
"Actually, it's mainly Ganggangyingzi."
"I received news that an earthquake had just occurred there, and it unearthed an ancient tomb from the Liao Dynasty."
Cao Kun lowered his voice and said.
Is that true?
Hu Bayi had just returned and had no idea what was going on.
As for Wang Kaixuan, although he has always lived in Panjiayuan, he doesn't care about those things.
However, the place name Ganggangyingzi is interesting.
It instantly brought back memories of Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi's experiences as educated youth sent to the countryside when they were young!
Before Hu Bayi could ask anything, Big Gold Tooth slammed his hand on the table.
"Master Cao, you're truly amazing!"
Big Gold Tooth couldn't help but give Cao Kun a thumbs up and laugh.
Clearly, he had only recently learned of this news.
However, it wasn't of much use to Big Gold Tooth!
Therefore, he did not publicize it much.
Unexpectedly, Cao Kun also knew about this news!
"Um, what does that mean?"
As Wang Kaixuan spoke, he put 20000 yuan into his pocket, as if this was the only safest way.
