Chapter 119: Appraisal
There is also a house in the southwest corner.
Li Zhendong, who came out, took Liu Ping and walked directly to the house in the southwest corner. However, there is very little furniture left, and the rest is almost in tatters. The house has rotted like this, the sun and rain, and after a long time, where can there be intact furniture? Li Zhendong was not disappointed, it would be good to have a surprise. And these tattered things are not necessarily useless. When I go back, I have to talk to Master Ding, and when I repair it, I will put it all together in one place.
The interest in going back all the way was very high, and I happened to meet Master Ding to find someone again, and a lot of things were shipped in, and I had to pay for the goods.
The sand, cement, bricks, tiles, and boards for repairing the house were delivered, and Li Zhendong was paying for the goods. Ah Taoxing hurriedly rode his bicycle and shouted "Mr. Li" from afar.
"Ah Tao, is there something wrong?" Ah Tao rode a bicycle in front of Li Zhendong and got out of the car.
"Mr. Li, I helped you inquire about two more houses" Ah Tao was very happy. His eyes involuntarily glanced at Liu Ping, but then he was a little depressed, and he didn't seem to be as tall as this beautiful girl. Liu Ping has been standing by Li Zhendong's side, and she also heard Ah Tao's words, the house? Does the little ghost still want to buy a house?
"Oh?" This Ah Tao is very capable of handling things, and after asking about the situation carefully, Li Zhendong nodded, "Ah Tao, you have worked hard, you go and talk to them about the price, and set a time with them after the negotiation, and I will go over to go through the procedures when the time comes." This is his established goal, slowly collecting paved buildings, and now he can't get out, so he can only entrust Ah Tao. The price is probably like that, and Ah Tao is estimated to be cheaper when he goes to negotiate the price.
Ah Tao responded with a smile, it is rare for Mr. Li to believe in himself so much, and he has to think about helping Mr. Li do things. I got on the bike and wanted to leave. "Ah Tao, wait a minute" Li Zhendong remembered the furniture. Ah Tao hurriedly jumped out of the car again.
"Tao, do you know anyone who will identify old furniture?" Ah Tao is a local, and he is active in the city all day, so he may know someone. "The people in the trust store know what to say," Ah Tao replied as soon as he opened his mouth, and this was not a problem for Ah Tao at all. Many families have gone to trust stores to sell things on consignment, but in fact, trust stores are equivalent to thrift markets. Inside the shop, there are masters who specialize in appraising all kinds of items.
"There's a lot of old furniture in this house, can you ask someone to come and have a look?" Li Zhendong was overjoyed. Ah Tao touched his head: "Mr. Li, do you want to sell old furniture?" You have to deliver it to the trust store, and he will accept it after seeing it." Li Zhendong shook his head, "I either sell furniture, or ask someone to identify it to see what kind of wood it is and which age." Ah Tao was a little embarrassed, "They generally don't come to the door"
"Don't come to the door? In this way, you will do the things on the other side of the house tomorrow, and now you will do the things of finding people first. Ah Tao, you find someone who can go out, and quietly tell him to come here for an appraisal, and I will give him fifty yuan for his hard work, and if fifty is not enough, it will be one hundred. Remember, you must know about furniture wood. "Pay for someone? That's fine, but the question is why do you want to ask someone to look at the old furniture? What a strange hobby for rich people. Ah Tao didn't ask what he wanted, Mr. Li explained what he did! Ah Tao pressed the bicycle bell, and the bell went quickly.
Ask someone to come and see the old furniture and pay so much? Liu Ping, who was next to her, couldn't understand the little ghost's move no matter what. A pile of mostly rotten furniture, old and dirty, unusable, given away for free, no one else wants! You take up space! At most, it can be used to cook rice. The little ghost spends money so casually, what can I do if I have no money in the future? There was a hint of sorrow in Liu Ping's eyes. This girl is now starting to worry about Li Zhendong's future life.
Ah Tao lived up to expectations, and it didn't take long for the two bicycles to come back. "This is Master Wang, the appraiser who is in charge of the furniture, this is Mr. Li," Tao introduced the two sides. Master Wang is of average height, wears a pair of glasses, is quite old, and has half white hair. Master Wang also saw Mr. Li introduced by Ah Tao, and doubts flashed in his eyes, isn't this a child?
"Hello Mr. Wang" Li Zhendong was not a child, and said hello to Master Wang respectfully. Shake hands with Master Wang, "Elder Wang, that's the case, I have a bunch of old furniture here, I heard that you are an expert in this area, I specially invite you to come over and ask for advice"······
Master Wang is soft-spoken and very nice. Li Zhendong opened a few rooms, facing the dusty furniture in the house, Master Wang didn't see any impatience, just asked him to find a wet rag, wipe it if you want to see what kind of furniture, look at the broken wood, look at the process, look at the style, and report it casually. Li Zhendong was holding a paper and notes next to him. Of course, it is impossible to read all the same furniture, so I just chose twenty or thirty kinds at random.
Master Wang doesn't spend much time looking at these dozens of pieces of furniture, and he has been doing this business for decades, and he can know what the Tao is as soon as he gets started. Falsification in the afterlife can make you watch it for a long time.
"Most of them are Ming and Qing dynasty furniture, a small part is modern furniture, the materials are good, there are huanghuali, sour branches and wood ······, but, Xiao Li, there are few of your furniture intact, improper storage, little value." After reading it, Master Wang felt that it was a pity, not to mention many of the damaged ones, and some of them were changed by the sun and rain. The old red sandalwood in the middle was smashed open a big crack, and only one leg was left on the four legs of a large eight-immortal table with yellow pear.
"Elder Wang, thank you for your hard work" Li Zhendong thanked Master Wang with a smile and turned his head to look at Ah Tao. Ah Tao understood that Mr. Li was asking himself "to negotiate fifty yuan", just ten or twenty minutes, it would cost fifty yuan, Ah Tao secretly shook his head. There is also Liu Ping with the same action, frowning with a pair of good-looking moth eyebrows, and her pink face is slightly wrinkled: Fifty yuan, I have to work for a month!
Li Zhendong took out the money from his pocket, counted 100 yuan, and handed it to Master Wang. Who knew that Master Lu Daowang looked up at Li Zhendong, but he only took fifty yuan from it, and the rest was returned, Li Zhendong was stunned, don't you want to give more money? Fifty dollars is not a small amount, this is a principled person!
Li Zhendong's action obviously won the favor of Master Wang, "Xiao Li, your furniture is not worth anything, I feel ashamed to take fifty yuan." In Master Wang's opinion, except for a few pieces of this batch of furniture, the rest are worthless. It's too broken, although the material is good. Of course, you can find an old carpenter who is skilled, that is, you can make some of it together, and you can't say that you can put it just right.
