Chapter Thirty-Three: Gathering the Remaining Pieces

  The woman hesitated for a moment, looked Tao Bao up and down, and then said, "Alright, come with me."

  "Come on in, Mom, this young lady is here to collect some things. I'll show her Dad's collection."

  The old lady frowned: "See, see, don't tell me."

  The woman then took Tao Bao Bao to a bedroom.

  It's called a bedroom, but this place should be considered a storage room. The house is filled with trinkets, including agate stones, seals, jade pendants, small bottles and jars. There are many things, but none of them are decent. Nor did I find the target that Tao Bao was looking for this time.

  "Auntie, are there any older items?" Tao Baobao asked with a hint of disappointment.

  "Older?"

  "The older the better."

  "Yeah, there is, but my dad definitely won't let it be sold."

  "Can I take a look?"

  The woman hesitated for a moment, bent down and opened a cabinet, inside which was a piece of ceramic debris about half the size of a palm, round and clear, exactly the Yuanqing flower fragment that Tao Baobao was looking for!

  The shard should be a part of the intact Yuan Qinghua vase, with blue flowers painted on the glaze, very beautiful. Taobao's heart secretly rejoiced, "It can't be wrong, it's this one."

  "This is good, can you give it to me?"

  Before the woman could speak, Old Lady Zhou walked over and shook her head firmly: "No way, this was given to my husband by a deceased friend of his. He treasures it dearly and won't sell it."

  "You name a price, as long as it's not too outrageous, I'll accept whatever you say." Tao Baobao said persistently.

  Old Lady Zhou still waved her hand, and the woman also said: "Sell it, my dad will probably have to cut off our father-daughter relationship if he doesn't get it. Well, if you don't like anything else, just go back."

  Tao Bao was unwilling and said: "Although it's a fragment, I really like it the most. Ten thousand yuan, do you think it's okay?"

  "Ten thousand?" Grandma Zhou seemed startled by me: "Is this fragment worth so much money?"

  The woman glanced at her mother and hesitantly asked: "That can't be sold, well, if you offer 30,000, we might consider it."

  "Your father's side..." Grandma Zhou glared at her with a stern expression.

  "When the time comes, I'll tell him." The woman said and then turned to Tao Bao Bao: "Thirty thousand, a fixed price, if you agree, take it away, otherwise forget it."

  "Alright, 30,000 it is, deal." For Tao Baobao, this Qinghua porcelain shard was a must-have, money was no object, let alone 30,000, even if it were 45,000, she wouldn't bat an eyelid, as long as the other party was willing to sell. Of course, from the perspective of the shard's value itself, it was worth at most around 20,000.

  Afraid of being late, Tao Bao quickly took out 30,000 yuan in cash from his bag, then picked up the broken piece and put it in his bag before bidding farewell and leaving.

  The first piece is in hand!

  There are still 180,000 left, enough to acquire the remaining few pieces.

  Just out of the neighborhood and not walking two steps, Tao Bao suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but slap his forehead: "Big fool, how could I forget to ask Uncle Wu where he lives?"

  There was a period of TV shows in later generations that mentioned Grandpa Zhou's home, but did not mention the location of Uncle Wu's home. It is only known that Uncle Wu and Grandpa Zhou were on good terms and old friends.

  In a TV show, an old man with the surname Bai had exchanged for a cracked ceramic piece in his village when he was young. At that time, Old Man Bai didn't understand its value and only thought it looked good, so he didn't take care of it at all. In the end, it accidentally broke into four or five pieces.
