Gui Baoquan, known as "Old Ghost", has been living in the antique street all his life, relying on his clever mouth to turn straw into gold bars. When he got old, he guarded a shabby shop called "Bo Gu Zhai" and prepared to spend the rest of his life in half-real and fake gadgets.
Until one day, the shrewd and stubborn Granny Zhang next door asked him to identify an old pottery bowl that was rustic and had a gap in the mouth. The old ghost kept talking freely as usual, but was completely broken by Grandma Zhang's understatement: "This bowl is the most valuable treasure my old man left me."
This broken bowl, which had endured half a lifetime and was only "worth two hundred yuan," made the old ghost look at how pale his house full of "treasures" were for the first time. In his life after washing his hands, he began to involuntarily "be good" - telling the truth to his neighbors and helping the fat aunt's "heirloom" in the snack bar find emotional value.
However, the real test came one after another. The acquisition plans of real estate developers are like huge waves that are about to swallow up this old street full of warmth. In the face of huge compensation payments, people's hearts are floating. This time, the old ghost who used to be just a talker chose to come forward. He used his lifelong "wisdom" and no longer cheated. Instead, in order to protect these lovely neighbors and their stories, he launched a ridiculous but heart-warming "street guarding" battle with capital.
This is a heartwarming story about truth and falsehood, new and old, value and price. Watch how an old charlatan, guided by a broken bowl, retrieves his lost true heart, and finally completes the most touching "value appraisal" for those seemingly ordinary people and things.
