Yang Bo started laughing, and chatted with strangers instead made him feel very relaxed, "Many people say that."

The old man laughed. "Since you said that, it's very likely that you've done well in your business?"

Yang Bo smiled and did not speak.

The mutton broth soup was rich and tasty, but when one drank it and the soup melted, it brought a warm feeling to the stomach.

As Yang Bo's diet had been irregular for the past two years, he would often feel the cold in his stomach. The mutton soup was warm and immediately dispelled the cold.

The old man also quickly drank a huge bowl and said to Yang Bo: "Let's go, let's go have a cup of tea and go get some oil!"

"Alright." Yang Bo agreed as the two of them walked towards the teahouse.

The teahouse was very small, with only three or five tables. However, the tea set was already prepared on the table. The old man greeted the owner and started boiling the water.

Taking advantage of this, the old man took out a snuff bottle from his pocket, placed it on the table, and said to Yang Bo: "Young lad, I have a snuff bottle here, come and help me break the generation!"

Yang Bo nodded lightly and received it.

The snuff bottle was an exquisite tool for holding snuff. It came from the west in the late Ming and early Qing, and soon became more fashionable in all walks of life. It quickly integrated with the Chinese art style and developed all kinds of unique snuff bottles.

The snuff bottle in front of him was made of amber, and on the transparent wall, a simple landscape painting appeared. It seemed to possess both form and spirit, but also an elegant style.

Even though it was painted from the outside, this snuff bottle was actually an internal painting technique, which was to say, painting on the inner wall of the snuff bottle. This required a very strong craftsmanship.

Light converged in front of Yang Bo's eyes and quickly formed into a circle of light.

Yang Bo's heart skipped a beat as he put down the snuff bottle. He looked towards the old man and said, "Amber snuff bottle, the simple outline of the mountains and water inside the mural. It seems to be grand and grand.

The old man had boiling water and was making tea. Hearing Yang Bo's words, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards Yang Bo, gently shaking it, then lowered his head and poured the tea into his mouth: "Simple outline, sometimes you'll have more strength. Young lad, your eyesight is not bad, my surname is Gui, Gui Rongjiu."

"My surname is Yang, Yang Bo."

Yang Bo looked at Gui Rongjiu, and saw that he was focused on drinking the water, sparkling green tea flowed down like a waterfall into the snow-white porcelain cup.

"Mr. Gui, is this snuff bottle of yours planning to make a move?" Yang Bo asked.

Gui Rongjiu's movements suddenly stopped, and he raised his head to look at Yang Bo again, "Oh, you're actually interested in this snuff bottle? You have to understand that most of the snuff bottles in the country are exquisite, exquisite, exquisite and exquisite, and are not very popular! "

Yang Bo shook his head, "I really like this painting pot that has the classical Chinese style. It seems to have a Chinese style, how about you give it to me?"

Gui Rongjiu looked at Yang Bo with interest and laughed, "Then young lad, how much can you offer?"

Yang Bo thought for a while, "Twenty thousand."

Gui Rongjiu smiled lightly, he was not in a hurry to reject, and instead, looked at Yang Bo, "Twenty thousand yuan is a pretty good price, young man, if you really bought it at this price, you would be in trouble! Can't you go first? "

"Let's talk about the losses first. Why don't you sell it to me first?" Yang Bo looked at his opponent.

Gui Rongjiu pointed at Yang Bo and laughed, "Young lad, it seems that I have underestimated you, it's me who had misjudged you.

Yang Bo placed his hand on the table, and tapped his forefinger on the table, "This snuff bottle is made in the Qing Dynasty, and is considered young. How about you sell it to me?"

Gui Rongjiu poured some tea and placed it in front of Yang Bo, "Looks like what the hero said about the young man is true! "Young man, you have good taste. You really can eat this kind of food. If you really want to buy it, then give me three hundred thousand!"

Yang Bo laughed. He knew that he had failed to pick up the puzzle, and this was just like a riddle. The two of them knew the answer to the riddle, but both of them were still thinking that the other party might not be able to guess.

"Old Man Gui, this is Gan Huan's internal painting, right?" Yang Bo asked, his tone also carrying respect, Gui Rongjiu had already confirmed his strength.

Gui Rongjiu nodded his head, "That's right, this is the earliest inner painting pot that we know!"

Yang Bo nodded his head lightly. The two had always been acting like they were puzzles because Yang Bo had seen Gan Huan Wen's name on the inner wall of the snuff bottle. This forced him to mention the origin of the painting pot.

According to legend, during the period of Jiaqing and Daoguang, a foreign official went to the capital to report for duty. He stayed in the temple, and since he was almost out of snuff, he used a stick to shave the leftover snuff from his pipe. A monk in the temple saw that the cigarette sticks left a lot of scratches on the inner wall of the pot. He had the feeling of a Chinese painting and expanded it into a painting pot art.

However, it was later confirmed by experts that the inventor of the painting pot was not a monk, but a young southern painter named Gan Huan Wen during the Qing and Jia dynasties. Ganhuanwen poured small steel balls, quartz sand and a little water into the pot to shake, grinding the inner wall into fine lines, making the pigment easy to attach, then dipped the curved bamboo pen with color, painting in reverse on the inner wall, thus forming the art of internal painting.

The reason why Yang Bo wanted to buy it was because he had guessed that this painting, the snuff bottle, was most likely the earliest one. It was just that he did not expect Gui Rongjiu to already know about it.

Because of this matter, Gui Rongjiu looked at Yang Bo with eyes full of admiration, and the two of them started to chat about snuff bottles, which was rather speculative.

When Yang Bo received the call, it was already nine in the evening. However, he was still chatting with Gui Rongjiu.

Yang Bo told them where he was and Luo Yaohua quickly rushed over.

When Luo Yaohua sat down, he was stunned and stared wide-eyed at Gui Rongjiu, "You are Teacher Gui?"

Gui Rongjiu nodded lightly towards Luo Yaohua.

Luo Yaohua was a little agitated. He stood up and shook hands with the other party, "Hello Teacher Gui, ever since the Treasure Seeking program began, I have been chasing after it."

Gui Rongjiu laughed out loud, "I never expected that I would actually meet a little fan here."

Yang Bo was a little confused. He simply could not understand what the other party was saying, because he did not watch television.

Luo Yaohua also saw the doubt on Yang Bo's face and explained, "In June of this year, Central TV broadcasted an appraisal program called" Treasure Seeking ".

Yang Bo replied with an "Oh". He really did not know much about this matter, but thinking about Central TV's program, he believed that Gui Rongjiu must be an extremely powerful person to be able to participate in it.

"I'm already old, Yang Bo is the one who is hiding his strength!" Gui Rongjiu shifted the topic to Yang Bo.
