Chapter 1 Wan Liye's bulldog
The May sun is warm in Jiangnan City, and people just want to pull a rattan chair, invite two or three old friends, sit under a tree, have a pot of hot tea, play poker or chess.
Ju An has been living in the city of Jiangnan for eight years, the university is in Jiangnan, graduated from the university into a foreign trade enterprise in Jiangnan, this is the fourth year of graduation, from the beginning of entering the school, he has witnessed the first housing prices in Jiangnan City, and then all kinds of things have skyrocketed, the only thing that has remained strong in the four years is his salary.
As soon as five o'clock arrived, Ju An and his colleagues packed their things together and prepared to leave work.
"Lao Ju, Lao Li, Lao Qi, don't forget tomorrow, gather at my door at ten o'clock in the morning," a thin young man shouted as he packed up his things.
"You're going to ride again tomorrow?" Zhang Li, the company's female accountant, asked.
"Sister Zhang, what's it called, we're going to ride for the first time in a few months, or you will come tomorrow, Brother Li, I'll teach you!"
Lao Li said with a smile. Lao Li's big name is Li Jin, and according to Lao Li himself, he was the first person to ride a horse in the south of the Yangtze River. When the first horse farm opened, he began to ride horses, Ju An and Qi Aijun and the thin young man Wang Dongyu were all influenced by Lao Li. I just like horseback riding.
"What's so fun about horseback riding, tomorrow my sister and I will go shopping with my boyfriend, and I will do my hair the day after tomorrow, what a void" Zhang Li replied.
"Hey! Sympathize with your boyfriend, it's over for the whole two days" Lao Li shook his head.
"Brother Li, you and Brother Qi are married, but these two are still single, so you can take a few of them to have fun," Zhang Li said with a smile.
"Sister Zhang, I don't really like horseback riding, what girls do you know introduce to my younger brother, I draw a line with them, I love shopping" Wang Dongyu said with a shy face.
"You traitor translator" Ju An and Li Jin stretched out their middle fingers directly at Wang Dongyu.
A few people made a fuss and went downstairs to the company. Ju An said goodbye to a few of them and walked towards the bus stop.
The bus station is more than one stop away from Ju'an's company, and there is a direct bus to the community only after passing through the antique market in Jiangnan City, which is just a big alley. A half-large road against the palace wall of Sedum Palace, slowly formed in the nineties, is still mostly stalls now, many of the old stalls in the nineties have a small surplus of money, and they have rented a large storefront nearby, and they have left all kinds of legends on this road.
Business at the antique market at this time was not good, with vendors handing cigarettes to each other and chatting through the stalls, and some of them gathered together to play cards.
Slowly and leisurely, while looking at the stalls on both sides of the path, these small stalls are stacked with piles of copper coins, porcelain, and even you can see some small bronze tripods, Jiangnan people jokingly call the fake market.
Suddenly, a small thing attracted Ju'an. A small stall with piles of copper coins, and a ceramic puppy in the corner of the stall.
"Boss, how much is this copper coin" Ju An squatted down, picked up a copper coin, and looked at the stall owner.
"Little brother, know the goods, the best thing in my stall is this money, you look at the bag of pulp, the Qianlong Fan money, a fixed price, you give five hundred" The vendor pointed to the copper coin and said.
"Boss, I'm going to work over there, I'm not here to travel to Jiangnan" Ju An pointed in the direction of the company.
"Ahem, ahem, this is really an old object, I don't want you, see that you are nearby, it is also a neighbor, you give three hundred and twenty yuan, you take it, I will open the door today" The vendor smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Then how do you sell this porcelain dog," Ju An pointed to the little porcelain dog pressing on the side.
"You say this, little brother, let me tell you, I just received this thing, look at it,
This bottom paragraph, the Ming Dynasty Wanli year, looking at this fetal quality, looking at this glaze, when I received this thing from the countryside, the villager said, this thing is from a large tomb dug out of the reservoir dug by their village, along with a lot of old porcelain, as well as gold and silverware, when found, it can immediately alarm the political axe, this fellow got this object quickly" The hawker prepared a good for Ju An and said the origin of this thing.
"Boss, can you really say, did we have a bulldog in China at that time, don't live in vain" Ju An nodded to the porcelain dog.
"Flutter!" The vendor next to him was happy, "I said old Wu Tou, this little brother still understands dogs"
"Go, I'm doing business, what are you talking about?" the vendor glared at the stall owner next to him.
Ju An casually took out a cigarette from his pocket, gave one to the vendor and the stall owner, and then lit one himself.
"Hehe, golden Jiangnan, good smoke" The stall owner next to him praised.
"This thing is the first time I went to the countryside to collect things, about ninety-two years, the first time I didn't have any eyesight, so I received such a thing" The hawker took a hard puff of cigarettes, "These mountain people are all thieves and thieves, I just hit the eyes, come back and take it out to show the connoisseurs, Leng is to make the whole street laugh at me for more than half a year"
Ju An picked up the porcelain dog and looked at it carefully, this is a sitting bulldog, with a collar around his neck, and there are still some broken things on the collar that seem to be nails, the dog's mouth is slightly downward, with a slight smile, turned it up, and it is written in a few small cyan characters of the Wanli year.
"Boss, I'm looking at this dog is more fun, I'm going to buy it back and put it on the table to see, this is estimated to be more than ten years at most, just a handicraft, give a real price" Ju'an put down the porcelain dog.
"Give fifty and you take it"
"Fifty is too expensive, a porcelain storage jar is only more than ten yuan, much better than this, you can also store money, this thing can only be seen, you see, the nails on the dog collar on the neck have fallen off, so I will give twenty yuan, if it is suitable, I will take it, if it is not suitable, forget it, you see it."
"Little brother, when I received this thing, it was more than forty, I only earned you a few dollars, you see that if I give forty, I will sell it at a loss." The vendor smiled wryly, as if he was very reluctant.
"Twenty, it can't be high, the porcelain shop doesn't have forty yuan for this brand new thing, you have broken so much, and I have forty too expensive, or the copper coin just now will be counted as forty yuan" Ju An nodded the copper coin that was put down in front of him.
"Big brother, aren't you talking nonsense, this copper coin is more than forty, and I won't take a shot if this money is less than three hundred" The vendor hurriedly waved his hand.
"Forget it, I still have to catch the car" Ju An raised his leg and stood up, gesturing to leave.
"Then you take it twenty, I'm really losing money, I'm telling you, if it hasn't opened today, I'm really reluctant to sell, although this thing is a new one, but for me, it's also a lesson to spend money, it's not meaningful" The vendor hurriedly called Ju An to put the porcelain dog into a small cardboard box and handed it to Ju An.
Ju An almost laughed when he heard it, the meaning of your feelings is to press your feet.
He took out twenty from his pocket and handed it to the vendor, took the box, and turned around to leave.
"Big brother, come and take a look at me, I sell good porcelain, all old things, you want Yuan Qinghua to have it" The stall owner next to him seemed to think that this was a good injustice.
Hearing that Yuan Qinghua has it, Ju An almost fell on his heels, "I said boss, do you have any Yuan Qinghua that I can buy, I can't afford to sell me."
"Big brother, the real price, Yuan Qinghua is one hundred and fifteen, you also let me open it" The stall owner smiled at Ju An, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Your Yuan Qinghua is kept by Menglao, I won't delay business" Ju'an took the box and quickened his pace and walked towards the station.
"I said Old Wu Tou, it opened just today, where did you get that rotten thing" The stall owner poked the old Wu Tou next to him with his elbow.
"That thing is really collected, but it's a tie-in, the last time I sold the little bottle of Dao Guangnian to Bao Xiangzhai, go to the old mountain, as soon as I entered the door, I saw the bottle, just put it together with the thing just now, the family said that it came up from the ground, where did I fall for this, I broke with them for a long time, it cost a total of one hundred and thirty yuan, and the bottle changed hands is more than three thousand, and no one wanted the dog to throw at home today when I went out and couldn't find my square stone, so I brought it out" Wu Tou said proudly.
After sitting in the car for nearly an hour, and then solving the dinner in the small restaurant at the intersection, Ju An returned to the small house he rented, a small room of more than ten square meters costs 400 oceans a month, which does not have a bathroom and a kitchen, the bathroom is shared, and the kitchen is not at all, this is the so-called rental house in the urban village.
The house is a large room divided into two small rooms by the landlord, only a few layers of carpentry boards in the middle, if the opposite couple lives, then what entertainment activities at night, Ju'an can hear clearly.
If you want to live in a community suite, you have to spend at least 700 yuan a month, in terms of Ju'an's salary, basically about one-third of it will be contributed to the landlord.
A few years ago, I thought about my house, but only a few years Ju'an didn't dare to think about it, why, the housing prices in Jiangnan are rising like a rocket, and now the local housing prices in the suburbs are 178,000, the salary of Ju'an, the balance of a year is not enough for a square meter, after buying a house, repay the loan for decades, and when you finish paying off the money, maybe the land use rights for decades will arrive, and you still have to pay the money, the evil real estate developer.
Entered the door, put the cardboard box on the table, took out the porcelain dog from the box, and put it on the side of the computer, Ju'an's computer is still an old antique four years ago, in the words of a friend, this computer in addition to browsing the Internet to browse the web, or flip through the system's own cards, minesweeper, or what game, the rest can not do.
Qi Aijun said what a fart netbook, people used the netbook a few years ago, I think Anzi can sue them for infringement.;
