Chapter 279

Liulichang is located in the southwest of the Forbidden City, west of Qianmen. It's only 20 minutes walk from the Meridian Gate.

After Han Mingxiu left the Palace Museum, he walked all the way to Liulichang. Liulichang is a cultural street that originated in the Qing Dynasty. It is said that most of the students from all over the country who came to the capital to take the imperial examination gathered here. Therefore, there are more shops selling books, ink, paper and inkstones, forming a strong cultural atmosphere. Gradually, a cultural street was formed, It has been handed down to this day.

At present, Liulichang mainly deals in antiques, calligraphy and painting, as well as calligraphy and painting supplies, pen, ink, paper and inkstone. There are also some painting shops specializing in selling Chinese paintings.

Wandering in this street, you can feel the Chinese classical culture. There are ancient buildings everywhere. You can feel the 5000 year old Chinese culture when you walk into any one of them.

In this era, the shops in Liulichang are all state-owned or jointly run by the public and the private. Although the service attitude of Liulichang is not as good as that of private shops, there is one thing you can rest assured about, that is, there are no fakes!

What do you fear most about buying antiques?

I'm afraid of selling fake goods.

Han Mingxiu doesn't know about antiques. Although she saw "treasure assessment" and some antique auction programs in her last life, she always followed the crowd and didn't study antiques.

However, even if she can't understand it, she also knows that those antiques are valuable in later generations. Those antiques have high collection value. After all, those dozens of treasure appraisal programs are not for nothing.

In a small shop, she got a picture of a turquoise green double lion eared pot painted with gold and longevity characters. It was made during the reign of Emperor Qianlong. The shape of the pot was very beautiful. She got a picture at a glance.

However, when I asked, it cost 1000 yuan!

You know, in this era, 1000 yuan is enough to buy a house and land, but this small earpot costs 1000 yuan. The price is really not low!

The salesman also told her that although the treasure was not from the palace, it was from the palace. Once upon a time, a poor Bailey took it and sold it. It's real. If you buy it, you will never lose money!

Han Mingxiu also knows that it's good to buy it, but now she has no money, so she has to wait until she sells the hairy crabs.

Later, she picked up a blue tapestry, gold and silver Wanzi cotton cloak with bat life pattern, asking for 400 yuan; A pink painted snuff bottle for longevity, asking for 800 yuan; A picture of fish by Badashan people costs 1200 yuan; There is also a Duan inkstone, a few Lake pens and her favorite piece of huanghuali six column carved Phoenix shelf bed.

Han Mingxiu fell in love with that shelf bed at a glance, and what he wanted was not. According to the salesperson, it was a good thing handed down from the Ming Dynasty. The whole bed was made without a nail or a screw. It was all made of mortise and tenon technology, and the bed was well preserved. It has been used for hundreds of years, and there is basically no bad place.

Han Mingxiu immediately decided to buy it, but the price of this bed is 4000 yuan!

Four thousand yuan is enough to buy a Siheyuan in the best area of Beijing. It's a real move!

However, Han Mingxiu is not bad for money. Although she has no money now, isn't she rich soon?

In order to make no mistake, she specially took out the only 60 yuan in her pocket and paid a deposit. She was scheduled to buy the bed within five days. If she didn't buy it within five days, the 60 yuan deposit would go home!

After seeing this bed, Han Mingxiu no longer carries it. He goes directly to Jia Zhiguo's office to find Jia Zhiguo and tells him that the goods have arrived. He can go to pick up the goods at any time.

As soon as Jia Zhiguo saw the goods so quickly, he immediately took a few people with him to inspect and receive the goods.

Chutzu drives to the rental house. At the moment of opening the door, Han Mingxiu moves the crabs and oysters to the house. After opening the door, he sees many silk bags on the floor, one by one, containing crabs and oysters.

"The goods are all here. Please bring someone to check them. Let's settle the money."

Han Mingxiu is still in a hurry to buy her favorite antiques. He can't wait to urge him to inspect and receive the goods, so that he can settle the money quickly.

Jia Zhiguo said with a smile, "sister, it's not urgent. I have to test the quality of the goods first. Do you mind if I steam some?"

Han Mingxiu readily said, "OK, I have a cooker at home. You can spot check the goods in these bags."

Jia Zhiguo was not polite to her either. He opened a bag in the middle and took out a crab. He also opened several bags next to him and took out one. In the same way, he took out a few oysters and steamed them in the pan of Han Mingxiu's rental house.

Twenty minutes later, the crabs and oysters were steamed, and the smell of seafood filled the room. Jia Zhiguo and several people he brought smelled the delicious smell and kept sucking.

Han Mingxiu opened the pot, picked up the crabs and oysters, and invited them to taste them.

Jia Zhiguo opened the crabs and saw the white crab meat and the orange crab yolk inside. It was fresh. Take the chopsticks and taste it. Oh, it's fresh and delicious, just like the hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake!

These people are greedy. They can't put down their chopsticks when they eat such delicious food. Xili HuLong ate up all the crabs and oysters in one breath, and then they gave up.

"What's up? Is my product qualified? " Han Mingxiu asked.

Jia Zhiguo wiped his mouth and said in a voice, "qualified, qualified, I will receive the goods now."

After that, with an order, several people began to weigh the crabs and oysters with a large scale. Jia Zhiguo also returned to a serious manner. He took the book to count, and when the crabs and oysters were all weighed, Jia Zhiguo took out the money and told Han Mingxiu face to face.

The total weight of crabs was 5422 Jin, and they sold for 5964 yuan. Han Mingxiu generously wiped out the change and only charged 5960 yuan.

The oysters cost 5103 Jin and sold for 4082.4 yuan. Han Mingxiu wiped the change and only charged 4080 yuan.

In this way, Han Mingxiu has an income of 10000 yuan.

Ten thousand yuan is a huge sum of money in this era. If Han Mingxiu had the money in the past, he would be very satisfied. However, after visiting the Liulichang today, Han Mingxiu secretly regretted that the goods she promised Jia Zhiguo were too few. If she could get more money, she would make more money and buy more antiques to save.

However, it is man-made.

When Jia Zhiguo and his family were pulling the goods, Han Mingxiu would say that her relative was still fishing. They should be able to catch more these days, but I don't know how much.

When Jia Zhiguo heard this, he immediately said in a good voice, "big sister, do you want to do business with my brother without any fuss? When the goods arrive, I'll give you the money face-to-face, right?"

Han Mingxiu nodded, "yes, I'm willing to do business with people like you."

Jia Zhiguo said with a smile, "so, if your relative can still collect a batch of goods, you can sell them to me. I won't treat you badly."

Han Mingxiu said, "OK, I think elder brother Jia is also a pleasant person. If he can make trouble, he will sell it to you."

That afternoon, Han Mingxiu happily transported her favorite antiques back to the rental house.

Looking at those treasures, Han Mingxiu is in a great mood. She doesn't think much about the treasures that have condensed the wisdom of Chinese people for thousands of years.

She secretly determined that she must find opportunities to sell more things and store more antiques. Not to say, antiques in troubled times and golden age. In this era, the price of antiques is low. She should try her best to keep more antiques for those who can cherish them in the future.

Or, as a family heirloom, keep it for her future generations, children and grandchildren, has been handed down.

When she finished buying these antiques, her uncle talked to her brother about buying a house.

Uncle he didn't say it was sister Heli who bought the house, but he said it was someone else who asked him, so he asked whether they would sell the house or not? If they sell it, the price won't hurt them.

Sister he Li's elder brother and second brother are all public servants, and their units have their own houses. However, because they both have their own houses, all the units don't consider them at all when they divide their houses every year. They have suffered a great loss for this for a long time.

At this moment, some people buy their house. Of course, both brothers are willing to sell it.

The money for selling a house can be owned by themselves, and then they can live in the house that the public gives them. Isn't it more suitable than it is now?
