Chapter 526. cornucopia
Early in the morning, Huang Jiaotou stood in the small square outside Lin Yi's house to practice kung fu, humming like thunder, attracting the old people who were also doing sports in the square to watch one by one. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lin Yi came out with a teacup and a toothbrush, Huang Jiaotou greeted him, and the others also greeted him.
Lin Yi was a little embarrassed, after all, he was not used to being watched by people brushing his teeth. Just as he was about to turn his head back, Lao Cao came out, only to see him covered in alcohol, with a sad face, touching his head, and shouting: "Oh Mom, why does this head hurt so much?" Could it be that he drank too much? ”
Lin Yi looked at him, there was still a red mark left by Huang Jiaotou's punch on his head, and said, "Yes, the wine I drank last night was not good, and I was prone to headaches when I had a hangover." ”
Lao Cao nodded, obviously because he was too drunk last night, he had forgotten about being beaten.
Seeing Huang Jiaotou practicing boxing, this old Cao also greeted warmly, "What about boxing?" Be diligent and protect us more in the future. ”
Lao Huang glanced at him, snorted coldly, and didn't speak.
Lao Cao pouted: "Virtue, you don't care about people!" Then he turned around and said to Lin Yi, "Have you finished brushing your teeth?" ”
Lin Yi: "Not yet, but it's almost --- what's wrong, something?" ”
Lao Cao pointed to Lin Yi's toothbrush and said, "I forgot to buy this thing, let me use yours later." “
Lin Yi: "......" and then sentenced: "Don't even think about it!" "Turn around and go straight into the house.
Lao Cao chased after his ass, "Stingy--- I don't think you're dirty!" Use a toothbrush! ”
……
I want to leave home again and go far away to the capital.
Lin Yi and his mother Zhang Cuihua said goodbye.
Zhang Cuihua has long been accustomed to this kind of thing, for her, although she misses her son, but her son is a dragon, he can't be tethered, and if the dragon is about to fly, this little village chief can't trap the dragon.
But what makes Zhang Cuihua happiest is that Begonia will stay for a few more days in order to complete the plan to build a green resort.
It can be said that these days, Zhang Cuihua has treated Begonia as a daughter-in-law, and it is good to have a daughter-in-law by her side when her son is gone.
Lin Yi knew that Begonia stayed here mainly because of herself, a woman can do this, what more could her husband ask for.
……
When he came, Lin Yi drove the Land Rover alone, and when he left, he was with Lao Cao and Huang Jiaotou.
At the head of the village, in front of the gatehouse of the "scholarly gate", everyone in the village came to see them off.
At the head was her mother Zhang Cuihua, as well as the begonias who supported her, and the other was the old village chief, the village party secretary, and the fourth aunt and others.
Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Lin Yi didn't know what to say. Lao Cao waved goodbye to everyone with a grin, and said vigorously, "I will take care of him, don't worry!" ”
Facing the rising sun, Lin Yi and his party set foot on the road again, they drove back to Nandu first, and then took the train to the capital.
Originally, Lin Yi was going to take a plane, but Lao Cao said that the time was not so rushed, just take the train, and said that there are many benefits of taking the train, not afraid of crashes, not afraid of mistakes, and better is that the space is spacious, and everyone can catch up together.
The reason is that this time Lao Cao invited Lin Yi to go out, so he paid for the road.
On the train, it is still bustling.
Because of walking back and forth on the "rivers and lakes" of Taoshu, Lin Yi has long been accustomed to such an environment.
The train is a small world, and the train car is a small stage. There are all kinds of people, with accents from all over the world, carrying large bags of luggage, helping the old and the young; After sitting down, the train started, and the originally noisy carriage was a little quieter, but immediately the crying of children, the conversation of men, and the laughter of women all converged together, so that your ears could not be quiet.
Huang Jiaotou is a stuffy gourd, he doesn't like to talk, he becomes a stone statue when he gets in the car, he either closes his eyes, or he looks at his nose and nose and his heart. In Lao Cao's words, sooner or later, he will cultivate into an immortal.
Lao Cao is the kind of person who can't be idle, he chatted with Lin Yi, and Lin Yi couldn't stand him, so he had to take out a book to cover Lao Cao's spitting stars.
Without Lin Yi, the best listener, Lao Cao couldn't brag and couldn't eat, and he felt bored, so he went to someone else's place to watch the landlord. Watching chess is silent and true gentleman, he sees who is more anxious than the owner, babbling on the side, and not being treated.
Lao Cao didn't care about this, and finally bought a pair of pokers directly in the car, found a few itchy hands, and started his career as a local owner.
Regardless of the fact that just playing cards is not interesting, so Lao Cao suggested that he make a small fuss and gamble, and the people next to him can also bet. When the train attendant saw this, he warned them that gambling was forbidden on the train. Lao Cao's answer is, we don't gamble, we bet on instant noodles. Whoever loses, comes out with a pack of instant noodles. As a result, the instant noodle business at the train commissary caught fire.
……
Lin Yi stuffed his headphones here, listening to the song while reading his favorite book notes.
At this time, as if hearing something to him, Lin Yi raised his head, and then saw a woman with a bewitching posture and charming appearance appear in front of him.
"Ah, it's really you, I didn't see the wrong person!" As soon as the charming woman saw Lin Yi's face, she couldn't help laughing.
"Are you...... Tang Ling? Lin Yi finally recognized her.
Look at the one next to Tang Ling, with a big belly, small eyes, and a light brain, it is not who Zhu Fat Man is.
This Tang Ling and Zhu Fatzi are the couple with the most fate with Lin Yi. At the earliest, it was because of this Zhu Fat Man in the God of Wealth Temple that Lin Yi would get his abilities through a snuffbox. Then the three of them met again at the "Three Kings Offering Treasures" rally of Big Brother Xu. Lin Yi squeezed the crowd, and only then did he officially enter the collecting world.
Tang Ling is the kind of passionate woman who is naturally charming and can get acquainted with acquaintances when she sees them, but this enthusiasm is a little uncomfortable in the eyes of her husband Zhu Fatzi. Especially Lin Yi looks so handsome, I haven't seen him for so long, and the whole person is like being reborn, with a different temperament. Not to mention women, it is estimated that even men will be attracted. Therefore, Zhu Fatzi, who is cautious and has a small belly, is particularly careful, for fear that Tang Ling next to him will be seduced by Lin Yi.
Tang Ling had a very good impression of Lin Yi, and old friends would inevitably chatter when they met, so she told the interesting story that she and Zhu Fatzi went south to receive the goods. said that he drove a pickup truck to the countryside to buy those stone tablets of the age, what Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, as long as Lao Zhu bought all of them, and then changed hands and turned upside down, he could make a lot of money.
Hearing Tang Ling say that he was capable, Zhu Fatzi felt very comfortable, so he bragged to Lin Yi, saying that he had played a lot in the past few years, mainly buying large antiques, and no longer focusing on playing ancient jade or something. It is also said that those ancient wall tiles, murals, bridges, archways and so on have collection value. Seeing that Lin Yi seemed to be attentive, Zhu Fatzi said again, there is another kind of antique that is very popular now, and asked Lin Yi if he knew what it was?
Lin Yi shook his head and said he didn't know.
Zhu Fatzi mysteriously spit out three words---Pig trough!"
Lin Yiwaner.
Seeing that Lin Yi didn't seem to believe it, Zhu Fatzi said, don't believe it. I've bought a lot of hundred-year-old pig troughs in the countryside, and they're all big antiques. Why? Because the ancients attached great importance to raising pigs, only those who had rich people could afford to raise them; And in order to make the pigs fattened and fattened, they will make a big fuss about the pig trough. Some carved inscriptions on the pig trough, some wrote poems, some painted, it can be said that the history of a pig trough is the history of the development of agriculture and animal husbandry.
Lin Yi was completely surprised and taught, he had never thought that the inconspicuous pig trough had so many profound meanings.
In fact, old farm items such as pig troughs and grinding discs are really popular, although they are not as magical as Zhu Fatzi said, but they are also the highlight of a recent collection.
Why? In the seventies and eighties, almost every household in the countryside was fed pigs, and most of the pig troughs and cattle feeding troughs were hand-hewn with bluestone. The grinding disc is also a large stone in one piece, carefully chiseled by a craftsman. These things are more obvious and the materials are better. But with the progress of the times, there are almost no people who feed pigs and cattle in the countryside, and the stone mill is gradually forgotten; Therefore, these things have become decorations, and they occupy space, and many people will sell them cheaply. Often the purchase price of a grinding disc is 20 yuan, and the purchase price of pig trough and cattle trough is only 50 to 100 yuan, and it is seven or eight hundred, or even thousands; These are all objects from the modern period, and those antiquities that are really hundreds of years old cost thousands or even tens of thousands. This is definitely not a lie, just like Zhu Fatzi said, doing this kind of business is really a million profits. The countrymen don't know that this is a good thing, dozens of dollars are sold to you, and you sell it for tens of thousands, and you will definitely make a lot of money.
Because nowadays, many large hotels, or farmhouses, as well as tourist villas, attach great importance to these traditional "antiquities". I like to put these things in the yard or in the hall. For example, the pig trough is brushed clean, because of the unique shape, put clean water, throw a few coins, raise a few small fish, and the elegant atmosphere will come out immediately. At this time, these pig troughs are not called pig troughs, but "cornucopias". According to the words of those bosses, doing business is to be auspicious. As for that old-fashioned grinding disc, it is also favored by many buyers. The reason for this is very simple, first, it is good-looking, it is placed in the hall or garden to give people a sense of primitiveness, and when you see it, you are like seeing the countryside; Second, the implication is good, many people buy the grinding plate, take its homonym "stone to run", meaning "time to run".
Nowadays, with this wind quietly blowing among the people, every weekend, many people go to remote mountainous villages to "hunt for treasure". The price of pig troughs and grinding discs, which were previously abandoned, has risen a lot. And Zhu Fatzi is the first kind of person to eat crabs, and it can be said that he has made money!
