Chapter 369: Old Furniture
"Ai Lao, if you don't come this time, we also want to find you. You don't know that in Kyoto now, these old things are easy to collect, especially the furniture.
In the past year, more people have returned to the city after rehabilitation, and the state has not only paid them back their wages, but also returned their houses, furniture, and supplies.
The old man still treats these things as treasures, and when the old man is not there, the young man takes the old man's salary and lives in the old man's house, but he dislikes these old furniture as an eyesore.
I heard that the four of us received the old furniture, and many of them received the returned furniture, so they directly brought it here and sold it to us.
It's a pity that a lot of calligraphy, paintings and books were burned, porcelain was smashed, and bronze was sold to scrap yards and melted to support national construction.
Some of the confiscated houses were used as office space by state units, and the rest were arranged for individuals to live in.
Only furniture and some sturdy items, no one dares to use them, and no one dares to use these carved and inlaid furniture, which are all "four old" items. It is stored in a warehouse and is well preserved.
At that time, when it was confiscated, there was a record list. Even if the individual's share is lost, the state returns it according to the stub. ”
Yoyo remembered that the legendary man in the mahogany furniture industry in the later generations, Wang, relied on the old furniture saved by collecting waste in Kyoto in the early nineties, and became the internationally famous "Sandalwood King".
It turns out that the old furniture in Kyoto has been preserved in this way.
Now that I've been wearing it myself, I've been buying old furniture in Kyoto since the late seventies, and I wonder if the king of the world will appear.
However, at least the old furniture purchased by himself is much higher than the price of the wood king. Although each piece of furniture is more than ten to dozens of yuan, it is still much higher than that of the king of the wood. He collected it at the price of scrap, 2 cents per catty.
After sitting for a while, Liu Lao took everyone to see what they collected. The east and west wings of the second courtyard where they live are all kinds of antiques.
The Bogu shelf in the house was also collected by them, and there were all kinds of old objects stored on it, which were wiped clean by them, and they were placed in a dazzling array of places.
These things are all high-quality products, and the four treasure connoisseurs, if they collect fakes, what else can they say about the real thing.
With so many physical objects placed here, it's quite shocking. Grandpa quickly turned around the room twice, and asked in shock: "Brothers, how did you put it away, it's a lot." ”
He Lao smiled, "Most of these things are collected by me." Don't look at my poor health, but they broke out of Kyoto one by one, and everyone knows that we old guys are buying old antiquities. If you have an old object in your hand, you will secretly take it and find it.
I'm not in good health and spend most of my time at home. If you find someone who comes to your door and has collectible value, I will keep it. ”
The courtyard at the back is filled with all kinds of hardwood furniture, and even the upside-down room in the front yard is almost full. These pieces of furniture are different from those collected by Li Baoguo, each piece is genuine, and some are treasures.
All the hardwood furniture is dead and heavy, so you don't have to worry about being stolen. Besides, no one treats them as treasures now, even in the nineties, and no one treats these old furniture as treasures.
Liu Lao pointed to the furniture in the house and said to his grandfather: "Ai Lao, if you don't come again, we are going to build a big shed in the backyard and put some furniture in poor condition inside." ”
Grandma asked them, "Elder Liu, have you heard that there is a yard for sale? If there is, let's buy another yard and put these things." These things won't be needed for a while, and it's not a way to put them in the yard. ”
It was not until the mid-to-late nineties that hardwood furniture regained its popularity in the south, and its prices increased year by year. In the 21st century, it has become a luxury jewelry and is collected by more and more people.
Liu Lao said: "Madam, you are going to buy a yard, and now you really have it." However, there are no big yards, most of them are small courtyards, and there are also two entrances, like our current yard, I really haven't heard of it. ”
Rong Lao added: "At present, most of the rehabilitated people are rightists, most of them are intellectuals, and there are not many people with thick family backgrounds, and they do not have many big yards.
Like us, feudal relics and capitalists, the yards at home are large, but I haven't heard of any rehabilitation. ”
Grandma was a little disappointed when she heard this, and my uncle and grandfather heard it and asked them, "Do you know what price those small yards sell for?"
"It depends on the situation of the house, but these small courtyards are lower than last year's price. Mainly those on the right who died, and the children were affected, most of whom were not in Kyoto.
Anyway, I couldn't live in it, so I wanted to sell the yard, and the children divided the money, but it was a big income.
Nowadays, there is a shortage of housing in Kyoto, but there are not many people who can afford to buy a house. There are more houses sold, and the price is a little lower than last year.
The three-room small courtyard house is now less than 20,000 yuan. The courtyard of five rooms is less than 30,000, and the courtyard of the second entrance is the most suitable, and you can ask for 35,000.
Of course, these are better yards, and those dilapidated courtyards, even if the price is half lower, no one wants them. ”
Right now, Kyoto's housing shortage is mostly for people with low incomes. The housing allocated by state cadres and workers of enterprises with good returns is still relatively generous.
Cadres and workers of government agencies and units, after receiving the marriage certificate, can be assigned to a separate room, and after pregnancy, they can change to a two-bedroom house, and they do not need to buy a house.
The workers of large enterprises and factories have the tightest housing conditions, and several generations, young and old, are crammed into houses of more than ten square meters, but their lives are difficult, and there is money to buy a house.
Some old families in Kyoto, because of the uncontrolled birth after liberation, a family of four or five children, now they have reached the age of marriage, and housing is even more tight.
A few years ago, the family left one child with them, and the others went to the mountains and countryside to receive re-education from the poor and middle peasants. However, since the resumption of the college entrance examination in '77, a large number of educated youths have returned to the city, and many of them have returned with their families, which has exacerbated the congestion of housing in Kyoto.
Many of the educated youths who returned to the city, let alone formal jobs, could not find jobs in collective units, and many of them were unemployed at home and depended on their parents to support them, and even if they built a shed in the yard to live, they had no money to buy a house.
Although the reform and opening up have taken place, the country's wage standard has not changed, and units with good efficiency cannot compare with wages if they pay more bonuses. The salary and bonus are added together, and the extra is sixty or seventy yuan a month, and most of them are still forty or fifty yuan.
At this time, the family with a deposit of several thousand yuan is the top. But it's too far from buying a yard.
