Chapter 1600: Others Laugh at Me for Being Too Crazy!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“I bid 500 dollars!” Zhuang Xiaoqiao suddenly stood up and raised the price by ten times.

Everyone was in an uproar, wondering what was going on today. The Chinese man just spent 500 blades to bid on a pile of trash, and this girl spent 500 dollars to bid on a bunch of bottles and cans.

Ye Feng was not surprised by this.

After all, Zhuang Xiaoqiao had seen the world. She definitely had the most basic judgment. Although she could not determine the value of those bottles and jars, she could tell that they were porcelain. Just this clue alone made her take a gamble.

Everyone was whispering to each other, wondering if they should take a gamble.

They could also tell that Ye Feng and Zhuang Xiaoqiao were together. Since these two people kept bidding high prices for things that others did not care about, they must have some unique taste.

Ye Feng heard everyone’s conversation and could not help but laugh secretly.

Want to fight with Miss Zhuang? Do you have the strength?

These people only earned about 300 dollars a month, which was not even enough for Zhuang Xiaoqiao’s monthly allowance. Even if they took out all their savings, they would not be able to compete with Zhuang Xiaoqiao.

Seeing that everyone was debating whether to increase the price, and Richard was not in a hurry to urge them, Ye Feng could not hold back anymore.

“Five thousand dollars!”

Ye Feng directly made a bid, using his financial resources to stop these people from competing.

The crowd was in an uproar, unable to figure out the reason.

He threw out 5000 dollars just for a pile of broken bottles and cans, was he crazy?

“What are you doing?”

Zhuang Xiaoqiao tugged at the corner of his clothes. She thought to herself, It didn’t matter if the 5000 dollars were wasted. They didn’t lack money anyway. But shouldn’t the price increase slowly?

“Believe me, the things inside are definitely from the five famous kilns. They are worth a lot.” Ye Feng said in a low voice.

Zhuang Xiaoqiao nodded.

She had seen too many miracles in Ye Feng, and she had already developed an unconditional trust in Ye Feng’s judgment, maybe she was even a little blind.

In short, as long as Ye Feng made a choice, she believed that it was the right choice.

“Hey, buddy, you spent 5000 dollars to buy these things. Are you going to open a restaurant?”

“I won’t eat with these lousy utensils. Your restaurant is going to be ruined!”

“Yellow monkey, I have a motorcycle. Why don’t you buy it for 5000 dollars? It’s much cheaper than these bottles and cans!”

…

Everyone started laughing, making fun of Ye Feng as much as they wanted. They displayed the arrogance and rudeness that was engraved in the bones of the Americans.

Ye Feng looked at these ugly faces and felt extremely disgusted.

However, the laws of the United States were often just a decoration. If he had a conflict with these people at this moment, he would most likely be punished unfairly by the law.

Forget it, on account of the fact that he had earned nine figures from these guys today, he would not argue with them.

Ye Feng simply ignored them.

In the end, after the auction for over a hundred storage units ended, Ye Feng asked the garbage collector to clear out all the garbage in storage unit number eight, leaving only the cardboard box with the Statue of Liberty.

Zhuang Xiaoqiao roughly opened the cardboard box covering the Statue of Liberty and asked suspiciously, “Is this the treasure you were talking about? It’s not a loss to spend 500 dollars, but who would be so free to use this much gold to make a statue? It can’t be gold-plated, right?”

Ye Feng looked at Zhuang Xiaoqiao violently shaking the Statue of Liberty, and his forehead stiffened.

Good heavens, this was made of 24K pure gold. The texture was very soft. If there was a bump, it would be deformed and would definitely depreciate later!

Seeing that Zhuang Xiaoqiao was about to take a bite of the Statue of Liberty and test if it was gold-plated or pure gold, Ye Feng immediately picked her up.

“What are you doing? Put me down!” Zhuang Xiaoqiao pouted.

“Oh my, don’t bite it. This is the work of the Gaul artist Robert Cochet!” Ye Feng put her down, afraid that she would bite the statue again, he hugged her waist.

“What are you trying to fool me with? I know Robert Cochet. He’s devoted his life to medals and coin-making. He wouldn’t make such a large gold piece!”

“Besides, the designer of the Statue of Liberty is Bartholdi. Why would a famous artist like Robert use someone else’s design to make his own work?”

Zhuang Xiaoqiao pouted, she wanted to use her deep knowledge to convince Ye Feng.

“That’s right! That’s what normal people think. No one would think that this is Robert’s work.”

“But Robert left his mark on the gold Statue of Liberty. The goddess’ clothing is engraved with a pattern of medals and coins, but the pattern is very small. You have to use a high-powered magnifying glass to see it.” Ye Feng explained.

“That’s impossible, right?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao’s small mouth instantly formed an “O” shape.

“What’s impossible?”

Ye Feng rolled his eyes. “This kind of exquisite carving technique has existed in ancient China, have you forgotten about the Ming Dynasty’s ‘The Story of the Nuclear Boat’ written by Wei Xueyi? There are even people who carve words on their hair! Those are much more difficult than this.”

After seeing the Golden Statue of Liberty, the two of them went to warehouse ten to look at the wooden shelves and porcelain.

Zhuang Xiaoqiao brushed off the dust on the wooden shelf and looked at it carefully. She saw that the wooden shelf was yellow in color, fine in material, and soft in texture. When she sniffed it, she could smell a faint fragrance that refreshed her heart.

Zhuang Xiaoqiao was a little surprised. “No wonder you bid 5000 dollars on this. It’s made of yellow rosewood! Just this shelf alone is worth more than a million yuan back home!”

The nature of the yellow rosewood was extremely stable. No matter how cold or hot it was, it would not be deformed or cracked. Moreover, it had good toughness and could be used to make some special-shaped furniture. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, furniture made of yellow rosewood was very popular.

“Look at the porcelain.” Ye Feng smiled.

After all, the system’s deep detection function was not given for nothing.

Ye Feng picked up a porcelain bottle and wiped off the dust. He pointed at the bottom and said, “Look, there are traces of nails on the bottom of this porcelain bottle. This is the specialty of Ru porcelain, the nail burning method.”

“The Ru kiln mainly uses celadon. The glaze colors are pink, bean green, egg green, shrimp green, and so on. The Ru kiln porcelain body is relatively thin, the glaze layer is relatively thick, and it has a jade-like texture. The glaze has a very fine opening.”

“In terms of the shape of the ware, the Ru kiln also imitates the style of ancient bronze ware, mainly in Xi, Lu, Zun, Pan, etc.”

“The Ru kiln was an official kiln set up during the Northern Song Dynasty’s Huizong period, which lasted less than 20 years, so there are less than 100 pieces of porcelain that have been passed down. Every piece is extremely precious!”

Ye Feng patiently explained to Zhuang Xiaoqiao.
