The boss brought some tools for Tan Rou. Tan Rou sprayed some liquid on the painting, then picked up a thin blade and cut the painting bit by bit.

...

The painting was already in Tan Rou’s hands. The boss had no right to criticize her. Even if she wanted to burn the painting just for fun, the boss could not stop her.

Tan Rou cut the painting from the scroll and touched the surface of the painting. After confirming the position of the knife, she boldly cut the painting. It turned out that this was not an ordinary painting. There was a smaller painting hidden inside. Because the original painting was too thick and the painting inside was relatively thin, no one discovered it.

When the boss saw the painting hidden inside, he was so surprised that he couldn’t speak. However, he had a feeling that he had lost money on the painting.

Tan Rou carefully separated the two layers of paper and took out the black landscape painting. When the entire painting was revealed, she realized that this painting had a great background.

“Guess we’ve found a painting that was worth our trip today.” Tan Rou looked at the painting that was revealed and said happily, “The Painting of the Hundred Miles of the Spirit River. More than a thousand years ago, the court painter Wu Dao painted the scenery of the hundred miles along the Spirit River for the emperor. Although it was a landscape painting, one could imagine the lush forests on both sides of the river just by looking at the painting.”

The boss was so surprised that he couldn’t close his mouth. The landscape painting of the court painter Wu Dao was worth a million yuan per foot. This painting was worth at least 30 million yuan, but the premise was that it was real.

…..

“This… Is this true?” The boss stuttered.

Tan Rou smiled. “You own an antique art shop. Can’t you tell if this painting is real or fake?”

The owner went over to take a look at the drawing and signature. It was indeed exactly the same as Wu Dao’s. Coupled with the material and color of the paper, it could basically be determined that it was a painting from a thousand years ago.

Zhuang Liu had also heard of this painting. “Legend has it that more than a thousand years ago, the emperor sent the court painter Wu Dao to the two banks of the Spirit River and had him paint all the scenery on both sides of the Spirit River. Wu Dao returned to the Imperial Palace after two months of sightseeing. He drew a painting of it for the Emperor, could it be this one?”

Tan Rou answered instead, “We can basically come to a conclusion now. Wu Dao had a lot of landscape works, but there are only very few of them that are left. There were only two landscape paintings that he had painted in the Capital City Museum, both of which were vertical without banners. If this painting gets revealed to the world, who knows how much of a shock it would cause in the ancient painting world?”

The boss slapped his forehead in regret. How could he sell this painting so easily? He should have looked at it carefully when he received it. However, he couldn’t be blamed for not looking carefully. Who would look carefully at a landscape painting that was bought for 2,000 yuan?

He looked at Zhuang Liu and then at Tan Rou. If Zhuang Liu wasn’t here today, he would have snatched the painting back. However, Zhuang Liu was the one who brought her here. If he went to snatch it back, Zhuang Liu would definitely not let him off.

After thinking about it, the boss decided to take the painting back before it left his shop. Zhuang Liu didn’t know much about painting, and this little girl didn’t look old either. She would definitely be easy to fool. As long as he offered a high price, the little girl would definitely sell it.

“This is good stuff!” The boss’s eyes lit up. He said to Tan Rou, “Little girl, I’m Milling to pay a high price to take this painting back. What do you think?”

Tan Rou crossed her arms and smiled. She understood what the boss meant. The boss finally saw the worth of the painting and was now trying to get it back. However, she was not a fool. She knew very well how much the painting was worth.

“Three million!” The boss seemed to have made up his mind and extended three fingers. “You bought it for 3,000 yuan. Ill buy it back for 3 million. What do you think?”

If it were anyone else, they would definitely sell it happily. However, Tan Rou felt that this boss was really interesting. He actually wanted to buy a painting that was worth more than 30 million yuan in the market for three million yuan. Did he take her for a fool?

“Boss, you’re being so mean!” Tan Rou rolled her eyes and mocked, “This is an ancient painting from more than a thousand years ago. You’re actually planning to buy it back for three million? Do you think I’m stupid and gullible?”

“What do you mean?” Zhuang Liu’s eyes turned cold as he questioned. “Are you trying to fool her with 3 million?”

The boss broke out in a cold sweat. He had actually encountered a troublesome person, but he had to buy this painting back.

“Ten… Ten million then!” The boss said ruthlessly. He would definitely be able to sell this with a higher price..
