Chapter 47 The Difference Between Ancient Mansions and Ancient Tombs
There was an old lady sitting in the courtyard who was choosing vegetables, Dongzi went up and muttered a few words, the old lady put down the dishes, and spoke with a thick local accent: "It's all in that room, you can see for yourself, look at it and speak." ”
Dongzi led a few people into the house, the Ma brothers walked in front, and Qin Yu and Feng Shuya were a few steps behind side by side.
Looking at the mottled walls around him, Qin Yu sighed: "This house has been repaired at least three or four times, it is not easy to stand for a hundred years, it is a pity that such an ancient mansion must be demolished." ”
"That's no way, one policy for one place. If this kind of old house is in the East China Sea, it must be a cultural preservation project, and it is necessary to find an ancient building unit to rebuild and protect it. Feng Shuya was not so sad, looking around like a curious baby, as if she had never seen this kind of emblem-style building with her own eyes.
The room is full of all kinds of furniture, tables and benches, and there are two pairs of bluestone pillar bases and a pair of drum stones in the courtyard outside the window.
"Qin Yu, what is this, it looks like a cylindrical plaster we painted. Feng Shuya pointed to the stones, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity.
"These are all building components, and the cylindrical column base is the bedding stone that supports the pressure of the roof columns, and there are generally under each roof column. Qin Yu first introduced the role of the pillar base, and then pointed to the stone that looked round on the opposite side, like a drum surface: "This is called the drum stone, which belongs to the door pillow stone, and usually has some auspicious ornaments, which are placed at the gate of the house." Not everyone has a drum stone at the door of their house, and we didn't see it when we came in just now, so these stones should not belong to this family. I guess someone left it here. ”
"I see, curious. I've never seen a stone like this in the East China Sea!" Feng Shuya said with a little excitement.
"How could it not be, you just didn't pay attention. Generally, there will be in front of the old houses of large families. ”
。。。。。。
After two circles in the house, they were all ordinary beech furniture, if they really wanted to be appraised, in the hands of those antique dealers, it was estimated that they could only be sold for 8,000 yuan, and there was no profit margin.
Beech wood is also called elm in the north, and it is widely used among the people, but it does not belong to any precious wood.
"Dongzi, that's all?" the colt asked disappointedly. These pieces of furniture can't be sold for money, and if you really want to buy them, you can't fit two pieces, and the trunk will be full.
"There is also a bed in the main house, a set of Eight Immortals Table and a scripture cabinet, but that is for people's use, we can't move the human bed, right?" Dongzi looked embarrassed, in fact, he still didn't say the second half of the sentence, it was okay to move away, but the price was in place.
"Can you see it?"
"I'll ask. After Dongzi finished speaking, the person disappeared.
After five or six minutes, Dongzi trotted back: "The master's family agrees, you come with me." ”
Went around the main house, and the place was quite spacious. In the center is a dilapidated table with four benches, a tall cabinet of scriptures in the style of an ordinary bookcase, and a bed in each of the two rooms.
Feng Shuya kept asking, what is this and what is that, Qin Yu was entangled by her and had no time to take care of anything else, and was working as a narrator the whole time. Fortunately, there was nothing he could look up to here, and he simply served Feng Shuya to the end.
"Qin Yu, what kind of wood is this?" Feng Shuya asked, pointing to the bookcase that was about two meters high and more than three meters wide.
"Beech wood, varnish on the outside. ”
"Where's this table?" Feng Shuya asked again.
"Eight Immortals Table. Qin Yu was helpless: "You don't even know the Eight Immortals Table, right?"
"Of course I know the name, I'm asking about the material!" Feng Shuya felt that Qin Yu was laughing at her, and couldn't help but pout.
"This should be ... Qin Yu leaned down and looked at it carefully, and touched it again. The colt and the horse cannon were also studying the table, and the two of them looked at each other from time to time, and the foal whispered a few words, and the silent horse cannon occasionally nodded in response.
"It's a red sour branch. The horse cannon on the side answered the question in place of Qin Yu, and he was half-squatting to study the mortise and tenon structure on the side of the table.
Feng Shuya: "Wow, isn't the red sour branch mahogany, isn't that valuable?"
Pony: "Normally it's worth some money, but this one is too old." You see that the legs of this table and this side have been broken, and I don't know if I can fix it. ”
After asking a few more questions, Feng Shuya pulled Qin Yu and continued to spin around.
"Does this bed have a name?"
"It is generally called a shelf bed, which is a very traditional bed in China, and it was commonly used by people in the past. ”
"And what about this one?" the two moved to another room, and asked the curious baby as he pointed to another cot.
Qin Yu paused, his expression was a little weird, as if he wanted to laugh but couldn't.
"Why don't you speak, hey, what's your expression?"
Qin Yu: "Can't you see that this bed is iron?"
Feng Shuya was confused: "I can see it, what's wrong, there was no iron in ancient times?"
"Huh!" Qin Yu finally couldn't hold back his laughter: "Haven't you seen a folding mattress Simmons when you were a child?"
“。。。。。。 ”
After hesitating for a long time, the Ma brothers still decided to give up the sour branch Eight Immortals table, which was too bad, even if it was repaired, it was estimated that it would not be easy to sell.
After saying goodbye to the owner of the house, several people left the house. When leaving, Feng Shuya still muttered in a low voice: "This family is too unrigorous, how can you sleep on a broken iron bed in this old house, it should all be antiques." ”
The colt laughed back and forth: "People are modern people, not savages, why don't you let you sleep on an iron bed forged by modern technology." If you want to say that, there is a TV in the house, why don't you leave it alone?"
Qin Yu also smiled: "You have fallen into the misunderstanding of fixed thinking, it is all old things, it is not called an ancient house, it is called an ancient tomb." ”
Even Ma Pao and Dongzi couldn't help but grin and twitch, only Feng Shuya was alone and sulking, she felt that she was simply out of school today, and she made such a big joke at the beginning.
。。。。。。
A few more houses were gone, but there was nothing that the twins could look at. A few people were a little tired from walking, and when they saw that there was a wonton stall under the big tree in front of them, and there was no one, they walked over and sat down, and took a break in the cold. Feng Shuya was already hungry, and she didn't care about hygiene, so she asked for a big bowl of wontons, and enthusiastically helped several people order them, shouting for a treat.
"It's fragrant, it's so fragrant, I've never eaten such delicious wontons. The wontons were served quickly, Feng Shuya took the porcelain spoon and ate it in a big gulp, and couldn't help but admire.
"I think you're hungry, but you're Miss Feng, you haven't eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas, so I'll just enjoy you with a bowl of Chai He wontons. Looking at her image of a hungry woman, the foal was happy.
"You know what, it's called grounding. ”
A bowl of wontons was eaten quickly, and several people were not in a hurry to leave, and the foal took out the double happiness in his pocket, and one of them gave one.
"I said, can you stop smoking in front of non-smokers, especially beautiful women. Feng Shuya protested.
"That makes sense. The foal nodded solemnly and took out the lighter: "Come on, come on, fight on the fight." ”
Qin Yu waved his hand to signal that he would not smoke. His personality is such that he generally doesn't smoke if a non-smoker doesn't want others to smoke around him.
"Look at the people, and then look at you. Hey, there's no harm without contrast. Feng Shuya sighed.
"Yo, Comrade Qin Yu, I pity the fragrance and cherish the jade! Could it be the two of you... The foal laughed lewdly.
"Carriage!"
Ma Ju skillfully shut up, obviously having received Feng Shuya's long-term training, and then he decisively found Dongzi to change the topic: "There are no good goods after so many walks, how many are there?"
Qin Yu Zhile who watched it.
Dongzi spat out a puff of cigarette and scratched his head in embarrassment: "Brother, it's not that I won't take you there, the key is that I didn't expect you to be so demanding." The quality of these people's things is very similar, so many hundreds of things you can't look down on, and it is estimated that there will be no more in the future. ”
"Well, let's go back after a while. It's also hot this day, so I can go back early and blow the air conditioner in the store in the afternoon. The foal shook his head in disappointment.
The Ma brothers are HB people, the family conditions are good, and their parents are in business. The brothers didn't go home after finishing college in Donghai, and directly opened a small shop in the antique city in Donghai City, tinkering with old furniture. Although the brain circuits of the two are not the same as normal people, they both like this line of work, and they are more willing to drill, and in the past few years, their careers have developed well.
For such a person, Qin Yu still admires it in his heart. Putting aside the family environment, at least people have been struggling for a few years and have rented a house, a car and a deposit. And if he hadn't had an adventure, it was estimated that he would still have to stay in Panjiayuan and sweep the floor.
"Oh, by the way, I remember. There is also a family at the end of the village, who moved out to do business many years ago, and the family is quite rich. However, I heard that it has not been smooth in the past few years, and I have come back a few times and sold a lot of belongings. Usually, the family doesn't come back, and the relationship with the people in the village is weak, so I don't know if he has any special goods at home. Dongzi suddenly patted his head, as if he thought of something: "Isn't this going to be demolished recently, I think he may come back." ”
"Then is there anyone in his house now?" Qin Yu asked.
"I can't say exactly. But we've all been walking for so long, and we're not missing those steps. If you want to, let's go and have a look, if not, then I'm really out of the question. Dongzi told the truth.
The colt looked at his brother, and the horse cannon nodded slightly.
