NOVEL NEXT Chapter 717: 717 became.
After Zeng Zhenqing put down the phone, he directly made a call.
"Leader, I will arrange it. I will send two technicians to the saline-alkali land to conduct experiments personally.
Actually, we already have some research in this area."
"Good, the work is arranged very well, just waiting for your good news."
After hanging up the phone, Zeng Zhenqing did not immediately throw himself into work. He was thinking about Su Yuanyuan's matter.
She still called him herself, so she wasn't blaming him, right? Actually, he really couldn't be sure.
Because of that incident, he had blamed himself for a long time.
He was rescued, yet he did something to betray someone, although the task wasn't his own will, facts are facts.
Now that she called him, it made Zeng Zhenqing feel a lot more at ease.
Two days later, the two girls drove to the county again, parked the car by the side, and walked to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Yuanyuan, that man is there. You go back, I'll handle it myself, don't get yourself into trouble."
"Alright. Be careful."
"Don't worry about me. Also, if they want something other than money, is that okay?"
"Alright, but the transaction will have to be tomorrow then."
Su Yuanyuan watched from the side as Zeng Hongling went over.
"Miss, I thought you weren't coming?"
"How could it be? Did you collect it yourself? Or did you find help?"
"I found help, found help. Let's go, I'll take you there."
"Then no problem. Don't worry, I'll make sure you're satisfied."
If you want a horse to run, you must let the horse graze. Due to Su Yuanyuan's identity, they couldn't let people pay too much attention to them, this is the best way.
"Miss, my name is Qin Zhong."
"Hello Mr. Qin. My surname is Zeng."
"Mr. Zeng, the family I found for you was once the wealthiest here. As for how wealthy, I haven't seen it myself, but the reputation of their wealth spreads among everyone.
I approached them several times, and only yesterday did they agree.
They said they have good items, but the price can't be low."
"Don't worry Mr. Qin, if I want it, I won't haggle, the price will definitely be fair."
"That's good to hear. This family is known as good people in our area, I certainly hope they won't be deceived."
"Rest assured, after I see the items, I'll offer a reasonable price."
Su Yuanyuan was following behind them, although Zeng Hongling had some skills. But if someone deliberately set a trap, she may not be able to escape safely.
She still wasn't completely relieved, so she followed behind them, anyway, listening to Qin Zhong's thoughts, there shouldn't be any problem. But she feared just in case.
After about half an hour, the two finally stopped in front of a house. From the outside, the house had a blue brick wall, but at least two meters high. Although at first glance it didn't catch the eye, looking closely, one could see its solidity.
Qin Zhong knocked on the door, after a while, an elderly man in his sixties came out.
"Uncle, I brought this young lady to have a look."
"Please come in."
Zeng Hongling smiled and nodded. The man never mentioned his surname from beginning to end, and she wouldn't curiously ask.
The two followed the old man into the courtyard, he turned around and bolted the main gate.
"Girl, I heard from Xiao Chin that you're after old items?"
"Yes, uncle. I want any old items you have."
"Do you also want furniture?"
"Yes, but the first thing I consider is quality, if we like it, we'll take the furniture too."
"Alright then, I'll take you to have a look."
Qin Zhong followed behind the two as they went into a room, inside which were placed two wooden boxes. Although Zeng Hongling couldn't identify the wood, she had a feeling the boxes contained good stuff.
"Girl, take a look yourself."
"Okay, uncle, for what I like, I'll directly offer you a price. If you think the price is fair, let me know and I'll note it down."
The old man nodded, he and Qin Zhong sat on the side watching Zeng Hongling.
Seeing the girl put on gloves, the old man knew, this girl certainly had some skills.
At first glance, Zeng Hongling's attention was drawn to a Glazed Bottle on top, the item was emerald green.
She carefully picked it up, examining it for a while.
"Uncle, is there only this one vase? It should have been a pair, right?"
"Yes, it was a pair, but now only this one is left."
"I see, then this vase is worth at most thirty. If it were a pair, it would be one hundred, what's your opinion, uncle?"
The old man nodded, "The girl is a buyer, this vase is sold to you."
Zeng Hongling smiled, carefully placing it aside, then took out a notebook and pen from her bag to record it. She had learned this from Su Yuanyuan.
Next was a tightly wrapped item. Zeng Hongling gently took it out, it turned out to be an ivory carved Guanyin, really life-like.
Excited at heart, Zeng Hongling thought, this was truly a great item. "Uncle, I can offer one hundred fifty for this ivory carving."
"Alright."
Qin Zhong watched from the side. Truthfully admiring this girl. She's really incredible! If it were him, he wouldn't know its value, but that vase, if he priced it, it would at most be ten bucks. Now he understood the difference between him and her.
The third item was also wrapped carefully. Opening it revealed a coral ornament, but Zeng Hongling hadn't had much contact with such items before, only having seen them and her teacher had briefly discussed them.
Feeling troubled, she looked at the old man, "Uncle, I don't understand coral. Can you name a price? If I can accept it, I'll take it."
Actually, the first two were indeed good items, and the coral was indeed to probe the buyer.
Upon hearing the girl's words, the old man laughed.
"Not bad, really not bad. This coral ornament, how about eighty?"
Zeng Hongling nodded, "Uncle, I'll take the coral." Not pretending to know what she didn't. But she had a mental price, exceeding one hundred bucks would be unacceptable.
The fourth item was a Jade Buddha statue. Zeng Hongling took off her gloves and felt the surface of the Jade.
"Uncle, I can offer fifty for this Jade Buddha, because regarding Jade, we aren't particularly interested in collecting."
"The young lady is quite straightforward, alright, it's yours. Actually, the quality of this Jade is really good."
The box only contained these four items, all sold to Zeng Hongling.
"Uncle, how much for the box?"
"Fifty, flat rate."
"Alright." Zeng Hongling carefully packed these four items again. Now, this box was finalized.
Opening the other box revealed books, calligraphy, and stationery.
Zeng Hongling had some research on these, so she examined them one by one and offered prices, with the most expensive being a painting, to which she offered one hundred.
