A man picked up a jade wine glass while picking pepper, and a few days later, found that the jade wine glass was missing

In 1999, a man named Liu Haide, who lived in Mianyang, Sichuan, was picking pepper in his orchard and planned to sell it at the market tomorrow.

Liu Haide picked the pepper, took some pepper and planned to put it on the stone next to it to dry, dry it and grind it into powder, and keep it for his own seasoning.

After Liu Haide finished drying the pepper, suddenly, when he looked down, he saw that there was something like a cup in the crack of the stone, he had never seen it, he reached out and picked it up, and looked at it for most of the day like a stone cup, and it looked like a stone bucket, and there were patterns carved around it, and the workmanship was also very exquisite.

Liu Haide didn't know what it was, but it looked beautiful and exquisite, and he casually put it on a basket full of pepper, intending to take it home and use it as an ashtray.

After returning home, his wife Zhao Fanglin, when she saw her sweaty husband Liu Haide coming back, carrying two baskets of pepper and putting cups on them, which did not look like cups, and the buckets did not look like buckets.

Wife Zhao Fangling couldn't help but ask curiously: What is this?, her husband Liu Haide, while wiping his sweat, said: "I don't know what this thing is, I just saw it when I was drying pepper on the stone, and I thought it looked good and picked it up as an ashtray."

His wife Zhao Fangling complained angrily: "You don't know, just pick it up at home, I'll take this garbage and throw it away!", Liu Haide: "Why is this garbage? I'll keep it as an ashtray!".

Sister Liu, a neighbor on the side, saw that Zhao Fangling and Liu Haide were arguing because they didn't know whether this was a cup or a fight, and hurriedly persuaded them: "Don't quarrel between the two of you!

After a while, his son came back from school, and when his son saw this novelty on the table, he couldn't wait to get his hand and come over, "Dad, what is this?", Liu Haide glanced at his son, "Ashtray!".

After the son heard it, he wanted it, and then his wife Zhao Fangling came out of the kitchen and said angrily: "This is a garbage thing, let's not want it, wait a minute, my mother will buy you a new toy", the son shook his head after hearing it, and he just wanted this ashtray.

Without saying a word, the son ran out to play with the ashtray and spread his legs, his wife Zhao Fangling couldn't catch up if she wanted to, she looked anxious, and her husband Liu Haide on the side laughed, and his wife scolded angrily: "Smoking, you only know how to smoke in a day!", and went back to the kitchen.

At this time, his wife Zhao Fangling seemed to think of something and said: "You two baskets of pepper, I will send them to our factory manager, don't sell them", Liu Haide didn't know why "Why do you want to give it to your factory manager?", wife: "Why do you ask so much!" Liu Haide also stopped asking.

The next day, Liu Haide, who was watching TV at home, heard a banging knock on the door outside the yard, thinking that his wife had come back from work, went to open the door, and saw a strange man stopping at the door of a motorcycle.

The strange man pointed to the ashtray and said, "It's a pity! This is a good thing!" Liu Hai looked confused: "This ashtray, what kind of good thing!" The strange man glanced at Zhou Yong, smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, it is indeed an ashtray, why don't you buy it for me for 20,000 yuan!"

When Liu Haide heard this, he was stunned, and said in surprise: "Twenty thousand yuan!" Strange man: "What's the matter? You are too little? We can talk about the price again!" Liu Haide was stunned, and said for a while: "This... I'll have to wait for my wife to come back and talk about it!

The strange man saw that Liu Haide couldn't be the master, and he had to wait for his wife to come back, so he nodded, "That's okay, I'll come over on Wednesday!"

After the strange man left, Liu Haide looked left and right at the ashtray in his hand, and couldn't see anything famous after looking at it for a long time, muttering to himself: "Just such a cup is not like a cup, and a bucket is not like a bucket but it is worth 50,000!", Liu Haide suddenly seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up and he realized that the ashtray was not a mortal thing, but he couldn't see it.

In the evening, his wife Zhao Fangling came back from work, and as soon as she entered the door, Liu Haide, who was excited, told Zhao Fangling about the fact that the ashtray could be sold for 50,000 yuan.

Liu Haide said with a smug face: "That strange man, at first glance, is a rich man, riding a motorcycle, and a big brother!

But his wife Zhao Fangling just didn't believe it, and sneered: "Yo yo yo! Such a rich man still likes you broken ashtray, do you really take me for a fool?"

Liu Haide: "Believe it or not, I'll take it to the antique street tomorrow for appraisal," Zhao Fangling said disdainfully: "Look at what you can get, a broken ashtray really treats it as a treasure!"

When I came back after a while, I insisted on looking at the ashtray and told Zhao Fangling everything Liu Haide said just now, and then I believed it, Liu Haide: "Now believe it!", even his son said this, you won't believe it.

The wife, who was dismissive just now, was very excited, and quickly took the ashtray to look left and right, and muttered: "Yo yo yo! Don't say it, the pattern carved on it is so beautiful, and it is really a treasure to look left and right!"

The next day, Liu Haide and Zhao Fangling came to the county town antique street with an ashtray, and found an old man who set up a stall to see.

Liu Haide took the ashtray to the old man who set up the stall, the old man looked at it, frowned and said: "If you sell it to me, it will be appraised for free, otherwise it will cost a thousand yuan for appraisal fees", the man who had just spoken to him stood aside and looked a little unaccustomed, pulled Liu Haide aside and said: "I tell you, you are a treasure, Han Dynasty, Hetian jade wine glass."

The excited Zhao Fangling on the side shouted loudly: "It turned out to be an antique, and it was returned to the Han Dynasty! Isn't that a cultural relic! We will break the law if we sell it!", so frightened that Liu Haide hurriedly covered Zhao Fanglin's mouth, you keep quiet, and cause trouble!

The man looked at the two couples in a daze, and then said: "You all know what you should know, I will pay 100,000 yuan, will you buy it?" Liu Haide "We still have to think about it", the man took out his business card after hearing it, "You can call me when you think about it clearly", and then left.

After returning home, Liu Haide, who was happy, decided to go to the stone where the pepper was drying in the orchard to find out if there was any jade wine glass, but he couldn't find it for most of the day.

When I came back, I found that there was a strange man in the yard, who was going to buy a jade wine glass a few days ago, Liu Haide just wanted to speak, and his wife hurriedly pulled Liu Haide to the side and whispered: "This is the manager of our factory, he bid 50,000 yuan! Let's sell it to him!"

When Liu Haide heard his wife Zhao Fangling, he was angry, thinking that he had just sold 100,000 yuan on the antique street, so he sold it to him for 50,000 yuan, turned his arm out, and gave two baskets of pepper a few days ago.

Thinking of this Liu Haide, he was angry when he saw his attentive wife Zhao Fangling on the side, Liu Haide: "You go back first! I haven't thought about it yet!" Manager: "Your wife has promised me! You can't go back!" Liu Haide: "She promised, you go to her!" Manager: "Do you sell this jade wine glass, be happy!"

Liu Haide stared at the manager angrily, and then said coldly, "I don't sell it, this is a cultural relic, I will hand it over to the museum tomorrow", the wife on the side was so anxious that she ran to the manager to explain, and scolded her husband Liu Haide "What do you want to do?"

After the manager left, his wife was also very angry, and blamed him very incomprehensibly: "As far as your broken jade wine glass, the manager sees it as your blessing, do you know how many people want to slap our manager, but they can't stammer, are you okay?"

Liu Haide didn't want to listen to his wife's complaints, so he went out to drink stuffy, and planned to hand over this jade wine glass to the museum after you get up tomorrow.

The next day, after Liu Haide got up, he got up late, and planned to donate the jade wine cup to the cultural relics museum, but he couldn't find it in the closet, and found that the jade wine cup was missing.

Liu Haide, who was not angry, hurried to his wife's unit, found the manager's office and pushed the door open, and saw the same jade wine glass on the manager's desk.

After the manager saw Liu Haide open the door, he stared at the jade wine glass on the table, stood up and roared angrily: "What are you doing here?", Liu Haide was also frightened by the manager's sudden appearance, and muttered: "My jade wine glass is gone."

The wife also rushed over, and while compensating for it, she quickly pulled Liu Haide to the side and said: "Your jade wine glass, I will hand it over to the museum in the morning", and took out 500 yuan, which is the reward of 500 yuan, and then Liu Haide, who was angry, took 500 yuan and left.
