Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 218

When Tony heard Joseph take the initiative to mention refining Energizing Pill, he was incomparably excited. He said respectfully and politely, “Then I’ll have to trouble Elder Quigley.” “No trouble, no trouble at all.” Joseph played with the clay teapot in his hand again.

It was as if he was willing to help Tony refine elixir pills for the sake of the clay teapot. Tony looked at Elder Quigley’s expression and secretly complimented himself for being smart. He had delivered the right gift. He took the initiative to say, “Elder Quigley, I wonder if I can help with the process? For example, what kind of venue and tools do you need, what kind of raw materials are required and such?”

He couldn’t possibly ask Joseph to refine pills and have the man provide medicinal ingredients. Moreover, now that Joseph had agreed to this matter, he had to facilitate it as soon as possible to prevent Joseph from going back on his word. “A lot of medicinal ingredients are needed indeed,” Elder Quigley said. Tony said enthusiastically. “Elder Quigley, please give me a list. I’ll prepare it as soon as possible.”

Elder Quigley nodded seriously. “Alright, I’ll make the list now. In addition to medicinal ingredients, I’d also need a wood stove.” As if afraid that Tony did not know what a wood stove was, Elder Quigley put down the clay teapot in his hand and gestured with his hands. “It’s the kind of stove that burns firewood in the countryside. You know it, right? The kind of mud stove used for heating cauldrons and stuff. Do you know it?” Tony immediately nodded. “Yes, I know.”

“Alright, it’s good that you know… What do I want to do again?” Joseph frowned and pondered, as if he was really a little forgetful because he was old. Tony smiled and patiently reminded, “Elder Quigley, you have to make a list to buy the raw materials to refine Energizing Pill.” “Oh, right!” Elder Quigley immediately “remembered” what Tony said. He looked everywhere for a pen. Tony immediately took out his signature pen and handed it to him.

Elder Quigley took it and sat down to write the materials. He muttered, “Clear Heart elixir pills, aimed at clearing and calming the heart, strengthening the foundation, nourishing the blood, and returning the five viscera to the spleen. Nourishing the blood and traveling through the liver, wild chrysanthemums, lotus hearts, summer withered grass… The five viscera return to the spleen, blazing astragalus, blazing licorice, angelica, dates, poria…” Tony was overjoyed when he heard Elder Quigley reciting medicinal ingredients’ name seriously. As Elder Quigley wrote the name medicinal ingredients, he could not help but play with the clay teapot. He really liked it.

Seeing this, Tony said solicitously, “Elder Quigley, I know that there will be a Mr. Quimby clay teapot auction. soon. When the time comes, I’ll bid for a whole set of clay pots for you.” “Thank you so much, thank you, thank you indeed!” Elder Quigley was overjoyed. Tony thought to himself, “As expected, old people have three major weaknesses, fear of death, greed, and talking too much.” He figured that even a master-level figure like Joseph was no exception.

Eider Quigley wrote a few more medicinal ingredients names and continued to play with the clay teapot. Suddenly, he touched an uneven spot and his face darkened. He put down the pen in his hand and pushed his reading glasses up the bridge of his nose. Then, he picked up the clay teapot and leaned closer to take a look. The more she looked at the teapot, the darker his expression became. “What’s wrong?” Tony asked in surprise.

“Hmph!” Elder Quigley suddenly snorted and stuffed the clay teapot into Tony’s hands. “Take your pot home.” “Elder Quigley, I don’t know what I’ve done wrong. Please tell me. I’ll definitely change.” Tony was puzzled, wondering why did Elder Quigley suddenly change his expression. He looked at the clay teapot in his hand. There was nothing wrong with this pot. He had personally bid for it. It was definitely the real thing!

“Hmph! Leave!” Elder Quigley said. Tony was very troubled and puzzled. He lowered his posture even more and asked humbly, “Elder Quigley, I must have done something wrong. Please tell me.” “Hmph,

stop being hypocritical here. You’re using a fake pot to fool me. Do you really think I’m senile?” Elder Quigley looked even angrier.

“Fake pot? That’s absolutely impossible. Elder Quigley, this is definitely Mr. Quimby’s personal work. I spent. 1.5 million dollars to buy it. It’s definitely not a fake.” Tony hurriedly explained. “Hmph!” Elder Quigley snorted again. He took out his phone and said, “I’ll expose you piece of shit today.” As he spoke, he opened Whatsapp and called Cash. Later, Cash’s face appeared in the video call.

He seemed to have placed his phone somewhere. He was pinching the mud in his hand as he asked, “Old man, what’s the matter? I’m busy.” He had been very diligent recently. Every day when he was free, he would be making a pot. In the past, he only made pots to pass the time. At present, he wanted to make money from them. He wanted to prepare a huge dowry for Anna before the wedding. He wanted to show the bastards at Jadeborough that Anna was not a penniless country girl.

“Look at this pot. Is it yours? This is clearly a fake. Hmph, there are so many swindlers out there these days. How dare they take a fake to deceive me? I’m so angry!” Joseph hinted at Cash in the video. Tony looked at the video and saw that it was really Cash. He immediately said respectfully, “Mr. Quimby, I’m Tony Parks, a member of the Parks family from Jadeborough. I bought this pot at the auction. It’s indeed the original.” Cash ignored Tony and said to Joseph, “Show me the butt of the pot.”

When Tony heard this, he immediately pointed the butt of the clay teapot at the camera and said, “Mr. Quimby, this is your teapot, right?” Cash looked at it and his expression darkened. “Bullshit. How can my pot be so trashy? My pot butt is very beautiful. These fakes do look like my pot in general, but definitely not in the details.” Joseph had already hinted that this was a fake, so he naturally had to cooperate.

“Mr. Quimby, this is really your pot.” When Tony heard Cash say that it was a fake, he panicked. Cash cursed in the video. “Are you calling me blind? How can I not recognize my own pot? This is a fake.”

“Thank you, thank you. I’ll treat you to a meal later.” Elder Quigley hung up. When he looked at Tony again, his expression became even worse. “Hmph! You can leave now. I’m going to take my lunch break.”

As he spoke, he angrily crumpled the medicinal ingredients list into a ball. Seemingly not appeased, he unfolded it again and tore it apart forcefully. Then, he threw it into the trash can. After throwing it away, he looked at Tony impolitely. “Why aren’t you leaving?” He had spent so much time and put on such a show just to make Tony think that he was just a step away from being able to hire him to refine Energizing Pill.

It was most heartbreaking to have endless hope in one’s heart before returning disappointed. It was much more uncomfortable than just refusing to do it at the beginning. Tony explained, “Elder Quigley, I really didn’t know that this was a fake. Please give me another chance. There will be a Mr. Quimby set in a few days. I will definitely bid for a whole set for you.”
