“Boss, can I take this whole pile of junk for fifty yuan?”

Lu Yuan pointed to a pile of moldy old books and rusty iron lumps.

The stall owner looked at him as if he were an idiot. “Take it, take it! It’s not even worth the space it takes up as scrap paper!”

But when Lu Yuan brought the “junk” home and wiped away the dust, the entire antique world went wild!

Hidden among the scrap paper was a unique, authentic late-period Shi Tao painting from the Qing dynasty, valued at 3.8 million!

The rusty iron lump was a Western Han incense burner with a beast-mask pattern and a lid, valued at 4.8 million!

Even the busted crock used for pickling vegetables was a Ming dynasty Wanli-period blue-and-white jar worth 1.5 million!

Armed with the [Touch-to-Appraise System], Lu Yuan travels between Chenghuang Temple, weekend ghost markets, and rural fairs. To him, nothing in the world is junk: it’s all national treasure waiting for its dust to be wiped away!

When the Jian kiln hare’s-fur tea bowl he bought for ten yuan fetched a staggering 3.6 million at the national antiques competition, countless antique dealers broke down: “Please, stop going to street stalls! Leave the rest of us a way to make a living!”

Experts from the National Cultural Heritage Administration even knocked on his door in the middle of the night. “Mr. Lu, could you lend us this Shang dynasty bronze guang vessel for a few days so we can display it in the museum?”
