Chapter 49: Letter from Home
The foal is still haggling with the owner.
"Eighteen thousand, it can't be any lower!" The couple of the owners of the house felt like crazy. The foal had been talking for more than ten minutes, and they almost believed that as long as they sold this wooden box of 5,000 yuan to the twin brothers in front of them, they could win glory for the village, support the construction of the city, and contribute to the realization of the four modernizations of the motherland.
The man almost bit the tip of his tongue and regained his senses.
"That's it, brother, let's take a step back and open the sky. I'll pay 10,000 yuan, you sell me the box, and add the square table in the room. That table is big and heavy, and you don't have a place to put it when you take it away, isn't it?It's convenient for others and yourself, I'm usually helpful, and you can make more money by disposing of garbage for me, do you make sense? And ah, this table is not very... ”
"Stop!" the man hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, and then told the foal that it was time for dinner. He lowered his head and thought about it, and then discussed a few words in a whisper with the woman next to him, before turning his head to the colt and saying, "In this way, 40,000 yuan, you can take all the things in my house, okay, if not, forget it!"
This time it was the colt's turn to hesitate.
He and Ma Pao's idea was that the sandalwood box was really good, and it was very likely to be small-leaved red sandalwood, with a good vintage and neat shape. If you can buy it for 5,000, you will definitely make money. That table has to make do with customers, and if it sells well, it can sell for eight or nine thousand, and even if it can't be sold, it can pay back. But if he buys tens of thousands of things in the house, he may not be sure that he can sell them, and if he smashes them in his hands, he will be pressed with money.
Just pondering, Ma Ju felt that the mobile phone in his pocket was vibrating, and took it out to see that it was WeChat sent by Qin Yu. He didn't look back, he opened it quietly, and the screen said, "Why don't I talk to him?"
"Good. ”
Qin Yu hid outside the gate, and after about a minute, he walked in: "This public toilet is quite far away. ”
"Hey, when did you go out?" asked the colt, feigned surprise.
"I see you're chatting vigorously, go out to the bathroom. Hehe, how's the talk going?"
The foal walked over and gave a fake introduction.
Qin Yu frowned slightly when he heard this: "Forty thousand? It's too high, you can't do business at this price." Otherwise, brother, I see that you are also a real person, and I will also give you a real price, pack 25,000, and everything in the house will belong to us. ”
This price is the price that Qin Yu has calculated, and he is also gambling. The price of 25,000 is indeed a market price, if there is nothing at the bottom of the well, or it has been taken away, then this price is basically not profitable. Because the shelf bed and the small wooden cabinet are both difficult to sell, according to the rules, Dongzi has to give more than 2,000 commissions, and the cost is too high.
As soon as the man wanted to refuse, Qin Yu had already begun to shake his head and pack his things, ready to beckon a few people to leave.
Qin Yu knew that the man was in a hurry to repay his gambling debts, and he would definitely agree. At the beginning, the 30,000 he quoted should be the amount he wants to pay off. He didn't want to do anything desperately, so he came up with a price of 25,000 after the whole.
"Wait! How do you pay?"
Qin Yu turned around: "Transfer." ”
。。。。。。
After the foal paid the money and settled Dongzi's introduction fee, he looked at Qin Yu's eyes with some indescribable meaning, as if disappointed and a little helpless.
Qin Yu said to the owner with a smile as if he hadn't seen it: "There are too many things in your house, our car is not enough to load, I contacted the moving company to load the car early tomorrow morning, brother, if it is convenient for you, we will meet tomorrow morning?"
What Qin Yu didn't expect was that the man didn't mean to meet them at all, and wanted to leave in a hurry: "There is nothing in this house, and it will be really empty if you move the furniture away." I'll give you the keys, and you'll move it tomorrow." ”
After saying that, he took his wife and left.
Qin Yu looked at the figures of the two of them in a hurry, and thought to himself that the next time they came back, they should come to talk about the demolition money. And this situation is what Qin Yu is most happy to see, saving him from wasting his tongue to take the couple away.
Dongzi worked hard for a long time, earning more than 2,000, and he also left with joy, and left a number with Qin Yu before leaving, saying that he would contact them again if he had good things in the future.
After the winner left, the colt spoke: "Qin Yu, you have paid a lot of money, and you have no money." ”
Qin Yu smiled: "Sometimes you have to look at the edge of your eyes when you buy things, you can't think about making money with everything, right?"
Pony sighed: "It's not about the money, it's just the way you talk... I know you have a good eye, but maybe it's because you haven't really done business, hey, forget it, I can't blame you. ”
Looking at the expressions of the Ma brothers, Qin Yu knew that if he couldn't get something out of the bottom of the well this time, the brothers probably wouldn't ask him to go out together again in the future.
He was actually nervous in his heart.
"Don't talk about him, he hasn't been in business for as many years. Feng Shuya felt that the atmosphere between the three of them was slightly awkward, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "Qin Yu, don't worry too much, once born and twice matured, how can anyone be born to talk about business... Eh, what are you doing here?"
Not only Feng Shuya, but the Ma family brothers also widened their eyes in confusion, not knowing which one Qin Yu was singing, and watched him take out a roll of nylon rope, a few mountaineering hooks, and even a trumpet sapper shovel from the mountaineering bag he carried.
"You don't want to climb here, do you?" Feng Shuya was speechless.
"There's no rock here, I'm going to go down the well. Xiaoya, you go and close the door. ”
"Go down the well?!!Do you think there's something in the well?" The colt looked at Qin Yu who was tying a rope around his waist speechlessly: "Brother, don't do this, I won't talk about you, don't make trouble." ”
"Don't make a fuss, really. ”
"This well has been dry for years!"
。。。。。。
The three of them couldn't resist Qin Yu, so they had to let him mess around. As a precaution, the horse artillery took a rope and tied it around his waist to make a double protection.
Qin Yu slowly went down to the well, first poked out his toes to test the bearing of the soil at the bottom of the well, and then put the rope little by little. The soil is quite firm, but it's not hard, and if you use force, you should be able to dig it with your hands. He leaned as far as he could, letting the colt above fasten the hook before carefully shoveling.
After digging for about ten minutes, the soil at the bottom of the well was basically loosened and empty.
"It's almost enough, it's not early, we have to rush back to the East China Sea and send Xiaoya home." The foal looked at the time depressedly, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.
Qin Yu didn't answer, and continued to dig down, and after almost twenty minutes, he still didn't see a single hair, this time he didn't have any hope for himself. Feng Shuya had already swiped Weibo and Moments on it, but he didn't even turn out a stone at the bottom of the well.
"Qin Yu, do you want to pull you up, there should be nothing down here!"
"Pull it. Qin Yu depressedly inserted the shovel into the soil.
The colt nodded, and just as he was about to pull the rope, Qin Yu's shovel seemed to have touched some hard object and made a clicking sound, and at this time, he had already dug almost half a meter deep.
"Wait!" Qin Yu shouted: "Don't move yet, there seems to be something!"
Then he flipped the shovel quickly, and a moment later, a small white porcelain jar appeared in front of him. Qin Yu couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, his hands flew together, and he actually dug out three more of the same jars.
"There are four porcelain jars!"
After making sure that there was nothing missing, Qin Yu shouted excitedly.
", is there really something?!" The horse colt was taken aback, and the three of them hurriedly pulled Qin Yu and the jar up with the horse cannon Feng Shuya.
"Qin Yu, open it up and see what's inside!" Feng Shuya squatted down excitedly and tugged on Qin Yu's arm.
The four people in the courtyard were all excited, Qin Yu slowly breathed a few sighs of relief, and then slowly grabbed one of the small jars, took out the soil in it, and felt out a letter wrapped in brown paper.
"What is this, letter?" the colt was dumbfounded, and the horse cannon was puzzled.
"How could anyone put the letter into the well, it wouldn't be a treasure map, right?" Feng Shuya's guess was not unreasonable.
Take it apart and see if it's over.
Qin Yu tore open the kraft paper with a smooth movement, and inside was an envelope, looking at the style, it should be from the Republic of China.
。。。。。。
"See you in good faith!
I don't know who will see this letter, so I won't sign it.
Maybe no one will ever see it.
If you see this letter, it means that the descendants of the Zhang family are not poor enough to become sellers.
The old house is still there.
The red sandalwood jewelry box left by the old mother seems to have really been preserved.
It should be complete.
That's nice.
The Zhang family was originally prosperous, but after all, it still couldn't fight the times, and it couldn't fight the so-called 'justice'.
The day before yesterday, the old father was taken away by them again, and he didn't return overnight, and I don't know what happened.
Come to think of it, I'm going to be fast.
My old mother told me in the morning that I should throw all my belongings into the well, but I thought it was useless.
When they came, how could this marked box be spared?
Everything can only be determined by providence.
This winter, it's too cold.
